Chapter 77: Prince Fox's sudden death
The streets of the City of Glory are full of magic equipment shops, and things like contract scrolls can be bought with money.
Both Ryan and Basel were extremely cautious about the "employment in exchange for treatment" agreement, for fear of being tricked by the other party.
So they chose a large store and spent a high price to buy a "Advanced Equal Guard Contract Scroll".
In this world of extraordinary power, the magic contract scroll has a strong binding ability and is bound by the supreme law.
The content of the contract clearly defines responsibilities and obligations. Ryan is responsible for healing, and Basel is responsible for close protection. Both of them must do their best and not do anything that will harm the other.
If the contract is violated, the person will be burned to death by lightning and fire.
After the contract was signed, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.
This contract gave the two of them, who were only first-level supernatural fighters, a sense of security. At least they didn't have to worry about being backstabbed by the other party.
…
After the contract was signed, the two immediately discussed the treatment plan.
Finally, Ryan spent most of the night pulling out dozens of densely packed silver needles near Basel's qi sea.
This will allow the werewolf legend to use the second-level extraordinary combat power in the battles of the next few days without exploding and dying.
However, the "fine needles" will move around, and soon the number of needles near the Qi Hai will increase again. If you want to ensure combat effectiveness, you must continue to extract the silver needles near the Qi Hai.
The lower the density, the more difficult it will be to extract.
But as long as one of them is still in the body, it will be a deadly danger to a legendary demon hunter like Bazel.
This matter cannot be rushed, and Ryan has also given his new bodyguard enough "vaccinations".
He said that it would take ten or eight years to completely remove all the fine needles with just one "gang line".
And once your fighting spirit becomes stronger, the healing efficiency will increase exponentially with each additional "Gang Line".
Only by taking multiple lines of attack can we encircle and eliminate the wandering fine needles and completely eliminate the hidden dangers of the [Silver Holy Artifact].
This also eliminated Basel's idea of simply treating Ryan as a "tool" and locking him in the room to extract silver needles from him all the time.
…
After leaving the hotel for recuperation, both of them were in a good mood.
Once the contract is signed, the two can be honest with each other about some of their secrets.
Putting aside the werewolves' suspicious nature towards strangers, Bazel was originally a generous man. Anyway, the contract had been signed, and he was not afraid that Ryan would run away, so he spoke his mind: "I say... aren't you afraid that staying with me will bring you trouble? After all, I am an S-level bounty thief wanted by both empires."
"Oh...I think so."
When Ryan heard this, he seemed to realize it belatedly.
After thinking about it, he suggested, "How about this, we try not to stay together in the city, and you can just follow me from a distance to protect me. I know you are a legendary master, and you must have the means to protect my safety from a distance."
While speaking, he raised his eyebrows slightly, but muttered in his heart: What a coincidence, your official reward is 180 million Liso, and my black market reward is 100 million.
No one can see the light.
"That's fine too."
Bazel smacked his lips and said nothing more.
Ryan never took off the crow mask on his face. The legendary figure was not interested in what the doctor's apprentice looked like under the mask, so he naturally didn't know that he was also a wanted criminal.
Anyway, for werewolves, identifying by smell is much more accurate than by sight.
Besides, she is not a woman, so this rough guy has no interest in paying attention to her whether she is pretty or ugly.
"Um."
Ryan nodded with satisfaction.
Originally, he had no intention of staying close to Basel, the "time bomb".
Although you are a guard, it is best to keep a certain distance.
In this way, if he is in danger, Basel can come to rescue him in time.
Even if Basel's enemies come to him, it will not affect him.
Ryan has grasped the essence of the idea that a friend's death is not the fault of the poor.
The two are now on the same boat, but they also have slightly different positions.
Ryan could watch Basel being killed by his enemies, but the legendary boss could not tolerate others killing his only hope of recovery.
Therefore, this is the biggest reason why Ryan is not afraid of being dragged down by Basel.
Although this move also has an element of gambling, the potential benefits far exceed the corresponding risks.
…
As they walked, the two chatted about how to quickly increase their fighting spirit.
But when Bazel heard Ryan talk about his advancement path, the legend also showed a surprised expression, "You are a doctor apprentice, and you want to take the path of a [Qigong Master]?"
If he guessed correctly, this guy should have been the one who subdued him when he went berserk in the laboratory.
Although he only had the combat power of a first-level magic wolf at that time, for a doctor's apprentice, he subdued him without any injury. His close combat ability was rare among the [Awakeners].
"[Qigong Master] has a specialty in increasing fighting spirit, which does not conflict with my extraordinary awakening."
Ryan nodded and said evasively: "The stronger the fighting spirit is, the better it is for condensing the 'Gang Silk' ."
The two will be together for the next three years, so there is no need to hide some information.
He briefly told Basel about the development direction of his "Combat Doctor" series, so that this great man standing at the top of the extraordinary could give him some reference.
"Qigong masters are indeed quite suitable..."
Bazel nodded and agreed with Ryan's statement.
Qigong Master is indeed one of the most obvious supernatural professions that can increase the strength of one's fighting spirit through acquired cultivation. Choosing this profession can also speed up his recovery from injuries.
"Tsk tsk... A strength-based surgeon? The incomplete legendary sequence inheritance you obtained is really bizarre..."
Bazel laughed and complained, then said, "However, your special ability is really good for healing. Is it because of this that Dr. Irubek made an exception and accepted you as his disciple?"
Make an exception?
"Maybe."
Ryan didn't explain in detail, and asked casually: "By the way, Mr. Bazel..."
After a pause, he continued, "When I asked my teacher to accept me as his apprentice, he seemed very embarrassed. Do you know what happened?"
Hearing this question, Bazel was surprised and asked, "Don't you know that Irubek once swore that he would never accept a disciple again in this life?"
"???"
Ryan certainly didn't know.
Thinking about Irubek's wanted order, he vaguely guessed something: "Why is this? Could it be related to the fact that he was wanted before?"
Bazel nodded, acknowledging this statement, and then asked, "Did you know that Dr. Irubek was once the dean of the Omar Royal Medical College?"
Ryan: “I’ve heard of that.”
Basel: "The current dean of the medical school is Irubek's most proud disciple. Did you know that?"
"What's the connection between the two?"
Ryan was a little confused when he heard this. Isn't it normal for a disciple to inherit his mantle?
Bazel had obviously heard more gossip, and said, "I don't know what happened ten years ago. But I know that the 'Prince Fox's sudden death' was directly related to Dr. Irubek. After that, he was rewarded and fled to the City of Glory. But his disciple rose to prominence and soon became the dean of the medical school."
"Ah... did the teacher once kill a prince?"
Ryan suddenly understood something. With an "S-level" bounty, apart from a big thief leader like Bazel, probably only a crime like murdering an imperial prince would be treated with such a high standard.
"The Omar royal family seemed to be somewhat shy about the incident and blocked the news. Few people outside knew what happened."
Bazel didn't elaborate, but raised his eyebrows and said, "If you want to know what's going on, go ask your teacher yourself."
"Oh, so that's how it is..."
Ryan listened, thoughtfully.
Normally, in such a situation, the disciple's relatives would be implicated. However, not only were his disciple not implicated, but he was promoted to a higher position. This is very subtle.
Could it be that the proud disciple had stabbed his teacher in the back at some point?
No wonder the old man is so reluctant to accept any more disciples...
