The goddesses attempted to gain my salvation.

The woman stood up, tapped the ground with the tip of her high heels, and then walked towards the shadowy figure.

"Duncan has made an unforgivable mistake and must die. However, after killing him, we need to find someone else to take over the experiment. The task of killing Duncan is entrusted to you."

"As for finding the person, only I can handle that."

As she spoke, the woman touched her stiff neck and sighed.

"What a nuisance... what a bunch of troublemakers."

"However, as long as we can turn the Duchy of Ferrante upside down... and then kill Bernin..."

A fierce light shone in the woman's eyes once again.

"Then it was all worth it!"

“Hehe… hehe…”

The soft laughter, accompanied by the sound of high heels clicking on the ground, created an extremely oppressive atmosphere for Benson.

Benson finally breathed a sigh of relief when the sound completely disappeared.

What a crazy woman.

Heaven knows what the old King Bereinin actually did to her.

However, that's not something he should be thinking about.

Destruction, murder, and endless money—that's what he wants.

Benson looked at the two corpses hanging in mid-air in the room and grinned coldly.

Perhaps these two poor bastards will never understand.

Their real cause of death was simply that they accidentally discovered something that shouldn't have existed...

Blue-flowered magnolia.

Chapter 84 A Small Commission

The contributing writer for the Adventurers' Weekly is named Rose.

She wore thick, round glasses and had her hair in braids.

Because he traveled extensively within the Duchy of Ferrante, he always carried enormous luggage.

At the same time, as a contributing editor, Rose is very talkative.

Rose's extensive experience allows her to keenly identify topics that each person enjoys when chatting, and to engage in conversations that progress from simple to complex.

Even Miley could be amused during the conversation.

I have to say, this guy is pretty good.

About two hours later, all the interviews were completed.

The interview mainly focused on the teaching life at the college, as well as the mentors' private daily lives, and concluded with their observations from this trip and their outlook on the future.

A very standard interview procedure.

“Mr. Ryan, if it’s convenient, I’d like to talk to you privately about something.”

Rose closed her notebook and pushed up her thick glasses.

Ryan gestured to Veronica beside him with his eyes, and she nodded politely before getting off the carriage and returning to the front of the group.

"Is there anything I can do for you, Miss Rose?"

"Actually, it's not anything important. It's more like a commission than a chat."

Ryan said "oh" and sat up straight.

“From our conversation just now, I realized that you must be the core of the team. After all, everyone talks about you with great excitement and respect. Especially Ms. Veranica, who was sitting next to you just now.”

"It was obvious that she kept glancing at you, intentionally or unintentionally, during the interview. I think she must have been very concerned about your attitude."

"Therefore, I've decided to discuss this matter with you alone."

Rose was very observant; she noticed even the smallest movements.

Ryan accepted this.

After all, a special contributor is essentially a travel reporter.

If a journalist doesn't even have this much insight, they might as well go home and grow sweet potatoes.

"Ms. Rose, what difficulties have you encountered?"

"I think you probably know that there are many contributing editors like me under the Adventurer's Weekly. Contributing editors in the same area are all connected to each other."

After she finished speaking, Rose handed a document to Ryan.

"This is a friend of mine... well, perhaps 'close friend' would be a more accurate description."

Ryan looked at the information above; it was from a middle-aged man named Dick.

In addition, there is a letter.

The above content looks somewhat disorganized, and it's difficult to extract useful information from it.

Noticing Ryan's confusion, Rose tapped a few words on the letter with her finger.

"To prevent the leakage of exclusive news, contributing writers usually communicate with each other using a coded message."

Following Rose's finger, Ryan finally understood what was written in the letter.

“Just last week, Dick sent me a message asking if I knew anything about botany. He and his colleagues had made a very interesting discovery and wanted to share it with me. He asked when I would have time to come over.”

"I happened to know someone who was very knowledgeable about botany, so I decided to go and take a look. But when I got to his house..."

Rose took a deep breath and lowered her eyes: "I discovered that his house was burned down, and the Dicks are gone too."

"Afterwards, I checked with the neighbors and confirmed that Dick died in his own home. As for when he died or who killed him, I don't know."

"Perhaps it's my sixth sense as a contributing editor. I always felt that Dick's death was related to what he discovered."

"Therefore, I hope you can help investigate the cause of his death and the murderer who killed him."

"If it's just an investigation, why don't you look for those adventurers?"

Rose shook her head in response to Ryan's question.

"Adventurers aren't like you, able to keep secrets. Even if they find out the results of their investigations, they might spill the beans in the tavern while drunk, before even telling me."

"Moreover, and most importantly, trustworthy adventurers... are actually quite rare. I would rather pay to hire someone like you."

Ryan never expected that he would receive a mission during his travels.

However, he did have a mission to travel, and he was also a core member of this small group. It just didn't feel right for him to leave halfway.

Let's hear what conditions she offers first.

"Since it's a commission, there should naturally be a reward. Why don't you tell me what conditions you can offer?"

Actually, Rose didn't have much hope at first.

After all, she had met many people from the Vatican, and it could only be said that the stronger a person was, the more arrogant they were.

She had also heard about Ryan's experiences.

A magician with such power must be incredibly arrogant.

Even Rose herself was somewhat surprised when Ryan said those words.

This request actually has a chance!

“Mr. Ryan, I know you are a dual-attribute mage, and ordinary money no longer holds much appeal for you.”

"Therefore, I can provide you with an interview transcript about a dual-attribute mage."

Ryan's eyes lit up.

An interview with a dual-attribute mage?!

Rose actually has something like that?!

Ryan's surprise did not escape Rose's notice. A smile played on her lips as she continued describing the interview transcript.

"This is a person with a very special physique. He was born with two types of magic circuits in his body. Unfortunately, only one of his magic circuits has developed."

"A dual-attribute mage with only one circuit is quite rare. Although he has little practical combat ability, he still has some value for theoretical research."

“This person has never been to the academy, so I think you probably don’t know much about him.”

Dual-attribute magic, one circuit.

Indeed, as Rose said, it is extremely rare.

“I have this person’s exact address, and I was even lucky enough to visit him once. However, out of respect for the person’s privacy, this report was ultimately not published.”

"However, if you can help me, I will arrange for him to meet with you and then lend you the interview transcript."

indeed.

The opportunity to interact with other dual-attribute mages is more appealing than money.

Fire and light are both of the most basic attributes.

Whether it's the library or her mentors, Ryan has so many people to learn from.

But Huiyan is different.

Even in the Vatican's library, there are no records of Radiant Flame. Most importantly, the records about fusion magic are incorrect.

Ryan had to figure everything out on his own.

In fact, during the battle of Scarlet Eyes, Ryan discovered that Radiant Flame did not exhibit the extremely destructive power he had anticipated, as described in the book.

Moreover, during the process of controlling it, Ryan also discovered that Radiant Flame was different from other attributes, as if it had its own consciousness.

The idea that magic has its own consciousness sounds like a fantasy.
