Whoosh!
It was almost dusk, and the setting sun was shining on the towering rock walls of the fortress. Dean was like a gecko as he climbed along the wall. When he came to the front of the sharp wooden stakes, he saw that the patrolling soldiers on both sides were separated from each other and patrolled to the other side. He quickly jumped into the fortress and rubbed his hands against the wall to slow down the force of his fall. After landing, he rolled over to minimize the sound of his fall.
Dean quickly glanced around. He saw that there were several patrolling soldiers in the distance. They were far away from him. He immediately rushed to the other side.
He had the experience of smuggling last time, so this time he was more familiar with it. He bypassed the patrols of the guards and came to the desolate wilderness of the fortress. It didn't take long for him to meet a desolate town.
"I didn't expect that every time I sneak in I would be naked." Dean smiled as he sneaked into the town. He sneaked into the backyard of a house. He stole a set of clothes and put them on. Then he quickly left the town. He took advantage of the darkness and ran towards the direction of Yard town.
A few hours later, Dean arrived at the Yard town. The sky was dark and the curfew would be coming soon.
Dean glanced at the hillside behind the town. The Ryan Castle stood there quietly like a giant beast in the night.
…
…
Ryan Castle. The study room on the second floor.
Sander helped his father to return to his room after dinner. He waited for Old Fulin to sit down. Sander took out a thick blanket from the closet and handed it to his father: "It's cold now. Cover yourself with a blanket and sit down."
Old Fulin took the blanket and covered his knees. He sighed: "He hasn't come back for so long. I don't know what happened to him."
Sander comforted: "Although he is young, but he is mature and cautious. There shouldn't be any big problems. Don't worry. Maybe he will come back in a few days."
"It doesn't matter if he is mature or immature. The monsters won't talk about these etiquettes." Old Fulin shook his head and sighed.
Sandro saw his worried face under the lamp and pondered for a while. He said, "Why don't we urge those people to go and take a look? After all, they were bailed out by Mr. Du. If they don't return this favor, it would be too inhumane."
"If they are humane then they won't go to such a dirty place. Even if they are humane, they will be worn out." Old Fulin shook his head: "If there is no news by tomorrow then find two smart people and temporarily put them into hunters. Let them go and see."
"Yes." Sander nodded.
Old Fulin sighed: "Our Ryan family is rising. Many aristocrats, small aristocrats and well-known rich businessmen want to join our consortium. It seems that we are thriving. But all of this is thanks to him. If we didn't have his identity as an architect then it wouldn't take long for the Ryan family to return to its original state."
Sander was silent for a moment: "Father, we can't rely on him for everything. If he had an accident in the future, wouldn't our whole family decline?"
Old Fulin stared at him: "If we don't rise then how can we talk about decline? I don't want to hear you mention it again in the future! "
Sander's face slightly changed as he saw his father's anger: "Father, I know I was wrong."
Old Fulin slowly recovered his eyes as he saw his father bow his head and apologize. He looked at the burning oil lamp and fell into deep thoughts. His weather-beaten eyes reflected the flames of the lamp.
Whoosh!
After a moment, a slight sound echoed from outside the window.
Old Fulin and Sander were surprised. They looked up and saw a figure dressed like a farmer enter the room.
Sander was about to call out 'assassin', but he was stunned as he saw the appearance of the person.
"What? Don't you recognize me after changing clothes?" Dean smiled as he came to the table and sat down. He looked at Old Fulin: "I made you worry. Did anything happen while I was outside the giant wall?"
Old Fulin looked at him. He sighed and smiled: "It's good that you're back. I thought … The Mellon family didn't make any movement. I don't know what they are plotting. We don't have any spies. The intelligence is too weak!"
Dean frowned and thoughtfully nodded: "What about the little guys that I brought back?"
"Little guys?" Old Fulin smiled as he heard Dean's name: "They aren't little. One of them is almost as old as me. I've sent people to pay attention to them. Except for the butler Nicholas, the rest of them have been staying in the castle every day. They haven't gone out."
Dean raised his eyebrows: "What about the butler? Where did he go? "
"He hasn't gone out either. He has been staying in your castle every day." Old Fulin replied.
Dean's mouth curved into a smile: "I know. I came to nag you tonight. As you can see, I just came back from outside the giant wall. Moreover, I came back illegally. If the Holy Church investigates, you can help me as a witness."
"You came back illegally?" Old Fulin was surprised: "You didn't go to the cleaners?" Old Fulin patted his head: "Yes, I would have gotten the news if I had gone … Why did you come back illegally? Is there something that the Holy Church can't know about?"
Dean nodded: "There was a bit of a mess in the passage. When I came back, I found that a monster had broken through the passage and killed the knights of light. I was worried that they would misunderstand that I deliberately let the monster in. So I sneaked into the city so that they wouldn't misunderstand me. I wouldn't have any evidence to explain."
Old Fulin and Sander were surprised. They looked at each other. Old Fulin asked: "Are you hurt? Did the monster come in by mistake when it was chasing you? "
Dean shook his head and smiled: "I found it when I came back. It's a coincidence that I can't explain it clearly."
Old Fulin looked at him: "That's right. You are the architect of the 'Temple of Elements'. Your credibility is very high. No one will doubt you if you say that you didn't do it. You don't have to take such risks in the future."
Dean said: "That's one of the reasons. The second reason is that I don't want to have any relationship with the hunters. Hunters will become my sideline. Even if I go outside the giant wall I must do it in secret. You should know that the aristocracy discriminates against the hunters and look up to the architects. If I want to maximize the spread of my influence then I must abandon one aspect. Of course I can't say to abandon it but to put it in the dark."
Old Fulin smiled: "I know that you have other reasons. That is your main purpose. I don't need to worry about you. Every time you think about my concerns in advance and do it. My personal suggestion is that you don't need to hunt anymore. You can rely on the money earned from the works to hire others to hunt. You don't need to take the risk yourself."
Dean smiled: "I know that there must be other reasons. That is your main purpose. You don't need to worry about it. My personal suggestion is that you don't need to hunt anymore. You can rely on the money earned from the works to hire others to hunt. There is no need to take the risk yourself."
