Can't I develop my own character?

Killing is a mission and also part of Ryan's plan.

'Xia Li's' image as a god of death cannot fall, it must stand tall.

"Then next, we should go to Yinfeng City and make some arrangements."

After the Southern Territory was taken, their "base" should also be moved. After all, Berman City was too small. Yinfeng City not only had a good location but also a large territory. It was the core area of ​​the Southern Territory.

Previously, 'Xia Li' killed a large number of people after breaking into the city, and after this period of time, 'Weinei's' rectification, all aspects have been greatly improved.

The engagement will be held in three days, which is also the day Ryan will take office as the mayor of Yinfeng City.

He called Gluck and took the Iron Blood Army to Silver Front City. 'Ina' would naturally follow, and two capable secretaries would also be brought along. In Berman City, there would be a new manager to take over Ryan's position.

Casradi will go again in two days. She has been in contact with the people of Janus Gate recently. Lin Qi returned to Janus Gate in advance. Jonathan, Ryan originally planned to transfer his old leader there as well, but according to the feedback from the people in the Public Security Bureau, the old leader has not been to work for two consecutive days.

The people of the Fire Covenant didn't know where he had gone, which made Ryan a little worried, because his old leader had said before that he would help him hold the old emperor back, so he hoped nothing would happen.

A day later, Ryan and his team arrived at Silver Front City.

The train station was now crowded with people, all of whom were arranged by local nobles to welcome them.

"Lord Ryan is here!"

"Wow, it's Lord Ryan, alive!"

"Lord Ryan!!"

As soon as I got off the train, I was greeted by loud cheers.

The welcoming team was led by a nobleman who was a bit wealthy and had a face full of smiles.

"Master Ryan, welcome, welcome. My name is Lanny, and I'm a councilor from Silver Front City."

Lanny is a viscount and holds power. He is a influential figure in the southern border, but he knows clearly in his mind that the title is not important in the current situation. What is important is who has the soldiers and power.

Although Ryan was still a commoner, the princess valued him highly, and now he was a lord. Otherwise, how could he have survived the bloody massacre of "Xia Li"? Lanny knew what he should and shouldn't do.

"According to Lady Venetian's instructions, the castle has been cleaned up. Would you like to go to the municipal office first, or to the castle first?"

"Let's go to the castle. Leave the municipal work to my secretary Ina." Ryan said.

"Understand."

Lanny didn't question it.

Who is 'Yina'? He had already investigated it.

Ryan's exclusive secretary, it is said that the two have a very close relationship, he understands this very well, and judging from the situation in Berman City, the secretary's ability is absolutely second to none.

Ryan arrived at the castle amidst loud cheers.

The castle in Yinfeng City is much larger than that in Berman City, so there will be no problem living together in the future.

After arranging the accommodation, 'Ina' began to prepare for the engagement and taking office. Although everyone knew about it now, all the necessary announcements and arrangements had to be made.

This engagement also coincides with the time when Ryan becomes the lord, which can be said to be a double blessing. At that time, most of the nobles in the entire southern region will come to congratulate.

With the princess and the grand duke included, the grandeur of this banquet was unprecedented in the history of the Southern Territory.

"Let me see where it would be most appropriate for me to die... Oh yeah, I'll die on the stage."

Ryan plans to build a big stage in front of the castle, and then he will give an inaugural speech to the lord. That is the key point. In front of everyone, he wants to be eliminated at the most glorious moment and embrace a new life!

Even if my grandpa Ryan died, he would never be a traitor!

"Hmm? Finished killing?"

After finishing his business, Ryan opened the game and found that Charlie's massacre was over.

At this time, she was retreating with the remaining soldiers of the Holy Blood Legion and returning to Silver Front City as planned. She would rush back at the glorious moment of the engagement and speech to stab Ryan in the heart.

[Blood Sacrifice: 57424/88888]

"More than fifty thousand."

Not quite enough, but within the budget.

However, the remaining 30,000 or so is also a large number. This is an attack, and it may not be so easy to break into Caint later.

"Ah~ Let's see what the situation is like first. I need to change my job as soon as possible."

I don’t know what professional skills a fourth-level Blood Knight can awaken, but even if he doesn’t have any skills, his attributes alone are enough to surpass those of an average fifth-level transcendent.

Later, the fight for the throne will involve a war between high-level transcendents. A Blood Knight must be at least level six to be qualified to speak.

Just as I was thinking about it, a message suddenly popped up on the game interface——

[Devout believers offer sacrifices to you. They call upon the name of the noble Bloody Butcher Barton, offering you pure blood and souls. Do you accept his sincerity?]

"???"

What the hell?

Ryan was stunned for a moment.

Bloody Butcher? Who?

Oh, I remember, it seems that 'Xia Li' was a role for a while before... Can this be put up too?

[Sacrifice: 200]

"What do you mean, two hundred people were sacrificed to Charlie?"

Ryan thought about it and chose to agree to accept it.

Then, the number of blood sacrifices for 'Xia Li's' fourth-level mission increased by 200!

Ryan's eyes lit up.

"Is this okay?"

However, after two hundred sacrifices, there was no follow-up.

"Is that all? Tsk~ No sincerity."

You call him a devout believer? Bullshit. This little bit of offering is not even enough to fill the gaps between your teeth.

Although I don't know what's going on, this kind of sacrifice is worth it. People will make the sacrifice anyway. Anyway, they just get the money without doing any work.

...

The distant imperial capital of Barron.

An underground altar deep in the palace.

The old emperor stood on the altar with a gloomy expression.

"Creed, why is it that even though I offered a sacrifice, Barton still hasn't responded? I don't feel his power."

"Great Father, this is very simple," Creed said. "Barton is the most powerful and bloodiest of the Four Demons. I'm afraid He doesn't care about this sacrifice."

"How much will that cost?"

"Ten thousand, or more."

The old emperor frowned: "Now the outside world is saying that I am a bloodthirsty demon. If I were to prepare so many sacrifices at this time, I'm afraid..."

"Father!" Creed said, "The most important thing now is your immortality. The entire empire is yours. You have fought for the empire and sacrificed so much. Now is the time for the people of the empire to repay you! It is their honor to contribute to your immortality plan!"

The old emperor grinned. "Yes, Creed, you always see things more clearly than anyone else. Those ignorant fools don't know that without me, Augustus wouldn't be as powerful as it is today!"

"Okay, whether it's ten thousand or twenty thousand, I will satisfy Him! I will satisfy Him!"

What he wants most now is eternal life, nothing else matters!

...

the other side.

Childstown, railway station.

"Are you all ready? McCoys, I'll leave the Western Territory to you while I'm gone."

"Don't worry, Grand Duke. With me here, there will be no problems in the Western Territory!"

"Very good!" Maganna raised the corner of her mouth, looked at the Iron Blood Heavy Armor in front of her, and waved her hand: "Everyone listen to my order, follow me, Grand Duke, to Silver Front City to get engaged!"

Chapter 97 Ryan: Are you guys here for a big fight? [5k5]

[Your followers offer sacrifices for you: 100.]

[Your followers offer sacrifices for you: 50.]

Your followers...

【…】

"What the hell, is this going to never end?"

Ryan discovered a problem. The castle was huge and comfortable, Silver Edge City was prosperous, and...what the hell was this sacrifice? Why did it never stop?!

"Strange, it has never appeared before."

I'm confused. If it's said that 'Xia Li' has been involved with the Bloody Hand Butcher for a long time, why didn't she receive any sacrifices before?

Or had she received it before, but just didn't get notified? After all, she hadn't advanced at that time, so there was no need for a notification of the number? ...Speaking of which, Xia Li's leveling speed this time is indeed much faster than before.

Although the war was won, killing people to gain experience is different from the requirements of blood sacrifice and war field, and you need to kill them yourself.

Although 'Xia Li' killed a lot, it wouldn't be able to improve so quickly. If the sacrifice bonus was still there, it would seem natural.

Wait, have I really become a bloody butcher?

Ryan guessed that it was because of the Chaos Space Altar. After all, as the Chosen One, 'Xia Li' was walking on the path of the Blood God's faith, and then suddenly became a demon. This sounded quite reasonable.

As for whether she is qualified, she definitely is, and it is very big.

Although he was not sure if they had gone astray here, but Charlie had indeed gotten the benefits. Ryan was definitely happy about it, but he just felt strange. Were there so many sacrifices to the butcher Barton in the entire Augustus Empire?

Although the Blood Hand Butcher is very famous among the Blood Cult, if a sacrifice really has to be made, the first choice would definitely be to sacrifice to the Blood God Doclodes.

"Perhaps Butcher Barton is more famous than I thought."

After all, Ryan was not a Blood Archbishop, and he did not understand the thoughts of those crazy believers. He just accepted them all. At this rate, even without fighting, "Xia Li" would be able to successfully advance within a month.

"The stage has been set up, the announcement has been sent out, and everything is ready for the Lord's speech at noon the day after tomorrow. However, those who are attending the engagement party should be here early. They are expected to arrive tonight. Do you want to prepare dinner?"

"By the way, Venetian has spotted quite a few outsiders in the city these past two days. I think it's necessary to mobilize the forces of the Fire-Chasing Covenant to conduct a cleanup operation against Silver Edge City."

'Ina' walked into the castle garden and said to Ryan who was enjoying afternoon tea.

"Thank you for your hard work, Ina. Come sit down and have a cup of tea. We still have time, don't we?"

Ryan said leisurely.

"After all, I'm going to die soon, can't I enjoy myself?"

Ah, I'm dying! I'm so excited! My days as a damned insider are finally coming to an end. From now on, I don't need to whitewash myself, regardless of whether I'm white or black. Haha! Isn't this great?

"It's only at the last minute that we should be careful," Ina warned. "If the plan goes wrong, it will be troublesome."

"Don't set such a flag. Janus, God will protect me."

Having said that, Ryan still sent someone to contact the Fire Covenant. He was now a level five investigator and had great power, so he would not waste the free manpower.

Oh, speaking of Janus, Ryan remembered something important and opened the game and switched to the character interface of 'Lin Qi'.

Then I found a book in the backpack.

After Lin Qi returned, Ryan asked her to help find information about the gods of Meld and the mainland. The latter was more troublesome, as the information on the gods was too scarce, not even as good as the official game information Ryan had read. As for the former... it was also very troublesome.

Meld, which Meld?

There are so many in the world, who the hell knows?

Finally, Ryan changed his mind and asked Lin Qi to find a way to get what he wanted.

You know, this is a world with gods. Since conventional methods don't work, then use unconventional ones.

For example, in the Berman City Bookstore, Keisha asked him to take out the ninth book on the ninth shelf and ninth layer. That was a book that could gain "knowledge". But it was a joke. You wanted his knowledge, but he wanted your life. It wasn't worth it.

"The Janus Gate method should be more reliable."
