Chapter 336
After leaving the Fire Chaser headquarters, Ryan had Shana change her job first, then returned to the castle, entered Vainay's room, and locked the door.
Yes, the Empress is not here. She and Ina are holding a meeting of the Upper House, a newly established government body after the High Lord, mainly responsible for making decisions on imperial policy.
After confirming that no one would disturb them, Ryan beckoned Doro, who was looking around the room, to come over.
Before he could even speak, he heard Doro say, "Master, is this your room? So you like dressing up as a girl."
Ryan immediately started coughing.
"What nonsense are you talking about? This is Her Empress Your Majesty's room."
"The Empress?"
"Hmm... you could say she's my wife."
"Oh~"
"These things aren't important... Doro, I'm asking you, do you really not remember anything about yourself?"
Ryan asked again.
With Witch K around before, there were some things I couldn't say too much about.
"I don't remember," Doro shook her head.
"Then what do you remember?"
"I remember my master!"
"Then what?"
Doro continued to shake her head.
Ryan's lips twitched slightly. This was even worse than a flying cup!
"By the way, Master, I can sense that you have several contracts on you. Some of them could be detrimental to you if they take effect. Let me help you remove them," Doro said suddenly.
Ryan was taken aback. Yes, no matter what, the identity of the God of Order would definitely not change.
Can you undo it?
"A piece of cake!"
Doro confidently patted her unremarkable chest, then with a wave of her hand, a soul contract flew out from Ryan's body.
That was a contract he had recently signed with Kars. According to the agreement, he had to cooperate with Kars to kill Sylvia. If he violated the contract, he would be attacked by the forces of the Order.
There are many examples of breach of contract, and the consequences are never good. Depending on the severity of the contract, the breaching party generally faces penalties ranging from disability to death.
But Doro only had to think about it, and the contract was no longer binding her.
Ryan could clearly sense that the contractual link between him and Karls had been severed.
"So simple? No wonder she's the God of Order." Ryan realized that Doro was actually quite useful; at least he could use the contract trick to... cough~ persuade others in the future.
"Won't breaking the contract affect you?" he asked curiously. Isn't there a rule that gods can't do things that violate their own principles? So the God of Order should naturally be fair and just.
Doro didn't speak, but instead cast a questioning look at Ryan, as if to say, 'Why would this have an effect?'
Okay, it seems there's no such setting.
However, Doro can't directly modify the contract's contents, which can be considered a restriction that doesn't violate public principles.
"Speaking of which, why fairies?"
Ryan remembered that fairies were a legendary creature from the Western Continent. Well, legends are relative to the present, because the Western Continent has long been sealed off, so related information only exists in ancient books and records from other continents.
As far as Ryan knew, these records contained many strange races, such as giants, fairies, dragons, centaurs, and so on. Later, painters and writers created many works based on these records during the time after the Western Continent was sealed off. Due to the passage of time, these creatures were gradually regarded as fantasy beings.
The prototype of order is a fairy, which may not be a coincidence. Perhaps the Western Continent has a way to restore her memories.
I need to find some time to go to the Western Continent... but the situation there is completely unknown. Witch K said that the most intense War of the Gods took place on the Western Continent, which means that it was also the most severely affected by the erosion of the Chaos Space... Ryan dares not act rashly unless his strength can break through to the Eighth Tier.
As he pondered, Ryan's consciousness settled, connecting with the Misty Space. With a pulling sensation in his consciousness, he appeared above the mist the next second.
"We've obtained the Sun Mark; I wonder if anything has changed here."
Ryan looked up and gazed at the sky.
Compared to before, there are now many more bright stars.
However, it doesn't seem like there's anything particularly different.
"No, there's still a change. The power here seems to have become more concentrated." Ryan rubbed his chin.
I was just thinking about it.
The mist around him parted, and Doro's figure appeared beside him.
Ryan was taken aback. "How did you get in?"
Doro blinked. "Because Master is here."
"I mean... how did you get in?"
No one should be able to get in without his permission.
"Doro seems to have been here before. I sensed that my master was missing, so I followed him here and then came in."
"You've been here before?"
Ryan grabbed Doro and examined her closely.
"Waaah! Master, what are you doing? You can't do that there!!"
Doro's screams echoed through the Misty Space.
After a while, having finished his investigation and found nothing, Ryan released her, then suddenly realized something.
If Doro can enter this place uncontrollably, does that mean she was originally part of this place?
I've always felt that the Sword of Order is a sword, which is clearly different from the situation of other gods... Could it be that the Sword of Order is the key to unlocking the power of the mist?
With a wave of his hand, Ryan transformed the order back into Cross Sword. He tried to unleash his power to attack, and after several attempts, he keenly sensed an invisible pull on the Misty Space with each swing of the sword.
"It works!"
Realizing his guess might be correct, Ryan continued swinging his sword with excitement, trying to seize that fleeting connection.
Unfortunately, although he could sense it, he couldn't consciously guide or direct the power of the fog to his own advantage.
"Perhaps my strength is still too low, only at the seventh level. The power of this mist can probably only be mobilized by a god-level being."
Even so, Ryan was not discouraged at all. At least his conjecture had been partially verified, and he could continue to try things out slowly.
Over the next few days, Ryan would take Doro to the Misty Space to cultivate whenever he had free time.
Although he couldn't summon the power of the mist as he wished, the feeling of that power resonating with him became increasingly familiar, which convinced Ryan that Doro was the key to unlocking the secrets of the Misty Space.
He planned to find a way to enter the Western Continent and check out the situation once his strength reached the Eighth Tier.
At the same time, Shana's job change was also successfully completed.
There were no surprises, but no unexpected ones either. The profession of Son of the Sun is not particularly special, so Ryan had no expectations from the start.
However, after Shana changed jobs, he didn't rush to let his concubine continue leveling up. Instead, he called her to his room and used the power of the Sun Mark to assist her in her cultivation.
Because of the successful cases brought about by the power of the Earth Mark (referring to the Twins and Sesia), Ryan felt that the ability to assist in cultivation should not be a privilege of the Earth. Since Shana had just completed her job change, he decided to give it a try.
As expected, it was a success.
The first time I trained with Shana level jumped from level 15 to level 20, and she got stuck on the Job Change Mission.
After completing the mission and returning, Shana's level increased by seven levels again after her second training session.
Then the third time, the fourth time...
"Level 42... Hmm, is this what it feels like to not be turned off?"
In the room.
Ryan leaned against the headboard naked, glancing at Shana had just finished her training and was so exhausted that she had closed her eyes.
Her fiery red hair was spread out in a slightly messy manner, with a few strands of hair on her forehead damp with sweat. Her red lips parted and exhaled breaths, creating a chaotic and fragmented feeling. The scene was quite intense at one point.
As a newly created new Alts, Shana's combat power is obviously far inferior to the other sisters, and she is completely incomparable to Shally.
This left Ryan, who was used to high-intensity battles, feeling somewhat unsatisfied even after the fight ended. There was no way around it; Shana's health bar was already depleted, and if they continued fighting, they might be completely wiped out and have to start a new account, which would be troublesome.
"Shana, how come you, a Son of the Sun and a warrior, have such a weak physique? You need to train more."
Ryan said meaningfully.
Shana lazily rolled her eyes, too lazy to say a word.
"However, I've noticed that the effects of infusion and no infusion are different. How about we try infusion again?"
Shana promptly shook her head at Ryan's suggestion.
"Go find Vainay and Ina; they need to train too."
It seems so.
Ryan almost forgot.
He was so focused on experimenting on Shana that he forgot about his other wives.
That night, Ryan had a great time.
It has been proven that cultivation combined with the power of the mark has a certain amplifying effect on those Supernatural Being who are on the corresponding Faith Path.
As for whether it was his effect or the effect of the mark, it's hard to say. After all, as the creator and the source of all things, it doesn't seem surprising that he would use the source to help others cultivate and improve their strength.
After his cultivation was validated, Ryan further experimented in the Misty Space. After all, his wives were currently scattered all over the continent, and he couldn't keep having the witch K take him around to have sex all the time.
The experiment showed that it was feasible, but the results were somewhat less than ideal.
After all, spiritual communication can never compare to the complete integration of body and mind, but Ryan was already very satisfied with the result. After confirming the feasibility, he planned to go to the Eastern Continent to find the Kachia sisters before returning to the Southern Continent.
Just then, Shally began to make contact with a general from the Temple of War, who intended to invite her to join the Temple of War and serve the Blood God together.
Ryan thought to himself, "Your Blood God is going crazy, still trying to serve me like this."
Shally didn't refuse, intending to see if she could sneak in and find some clues.
As for the Gate of Janus, the Pope and the Cardinal Bishop are locked in a fierce battle. According to the latest news, several bishops have died, including an archbishop. The Church's internal Tribunal has stepped in to mediate the conflict, but Sylvia is not buying it at all.
She had the Holy Knights and the Templar Knight under her command, a truly powerful and well-equipped force. The only remaining fighting force consisted of ascetics, but they did not participate in the internal strife of the church. Therefore, Kars's armed forces were no match for Sylvia's in terms of direct combat strength.
Helen received information that Sylvia was collecting Kars's 'criminal record', and once she had gathered enough evidence to convict Kars, she would purge the church in Janus's name.
Upon hearing this, Ryan knew that Karls wouldn't last much longer.
These high-ranking church officials, one or two of them, have all done some perverse things, it's just that everyone is aware of it and tacitly approves of some of their behavior.
But if it were truly exposed, no crime would be too much to condemn.
Karls panicked because Doro had unilaterally terminated the contract, and Karls hadn't sensed anything. So he was still hoping that Ryan could gather the forces of the Primal Church to fight the Pope boss with him.
Ryan outwardly agreed, allowing Lin Qi to lead the group back to the church on the slowest passenger ship in Port of Misi, estimating that it would take about seven or eight days to reach St. Gero City.
Well, hopefully we can get there in time to collect the body.
"Why come to Arcadia again?"
This way.
Ryan arrived at the Arcadia Empire through the Chaos Space.
Witch K didn't quite understand the purpose of this journey.
"It's a task assigned by the Creator, there's no way around it." Ryan shrugged. "You can wander around here as you like, I'll call you when I'm done and leaving."
A hint of doubt appeared in Witch K's dark eyes; she was quite puzzled by the word 'finished'.
Never mind, I'll just treat it as a way to clear my head.
After the witch K left, Ryan went straight to the castle and met the Kachia sisters, who were having tea and chatting in the garden.
The two had just finished a national political meeting to discuss further conquests of the countries of the Eastern Continent. Because the Watcher Legion had suffered heavy losses and had not yet recovered its strength, it was already quite difficult for the Empire to fight to this point.
The twins were somewhat surprised to see Ryan appear.
"Rider, you're back?!" Kachina rubbed her eyes. "Am I dreaming?"
"Your Majesty," Ryan smiled slightly, waving for the maids to leave, "I've come back temporarily."
