The goddesses attempted to gain my salvation.

Rather than saying he wanted to lose money, it would be more accurate to say he was venting his frustrations.

This also gave Ryan an opportunity.

Men like Bane, with their rugged personalities, often don't need to be asked; they'll tell you everything on their own.

All Ryan had to do was fan the flames from the sidelines.

"You can't say that about Mr. Ghosn."

"He is a hero of the Lancy family. Without him, the Lancy family would not have achieved what it has today. It is necessary to sacrifice some things for our current status and wealth."

Ryan's emotional manipulation had an effect.

Bane's face was already flushed from being drunk, and after hearing this, he became even more furious, turning red and then black.

"You know nothing!"

"That's all fake! It's all an illusion!"

"Ghosn is a bastard!"

“I’m his own brother! He doesn’t trust me, but he trusts a woman from out of town! Heaven knows what kind of spell that woman cast on my brother.”

"I watched helplessly as she drained my magic without saying a word. Only when I was dying did she say a few words of advice."

"Does someone like him deserve to be called a hero?"

"Heh... It's just a pity for my younger brother... He's only just come of age, hasn't even seen the outside world yet, and has become his older brother's sacrifice."

"Oh shit......"

Chapter 112 The So-Called Class

Ryan quickly exchanged glances with Tracy and Rose.

Make sure you heard correctly.

Absorb magic power?!

That woman, she drained Bane's magic?

This is an extremely dangerous sign.

Since the Scarlet Eyes incident, Ryan and the Holy See have been searching for its true mastermind.

The trail went cold when it reached Nina, who was then transformed into a magic-suppressing stone by some unknown secret technique.

Now, in this ancient city of Moss, the phenomenon of absorbing magical energy has reappeared.

It is very likely that this is related to the anti-magic stone.

The woman Bane mentioned could very well be the one that Ryan and the Vatican are looking for.

Ryan pondered in his heart, but his expression remained calm and undisturbed.

To get Bane to continue revealing information, it's necessary to keep stirring things up.

Moreover, it's clear that he values ​​his younger brother and the family bond he shares.

The goal of stirring up trouble is naturally this.

“If that’s the case, then Mr. Ghosn has indeed done something wrong.”

"After all, blood relatives are the most reliable relationship."

"Although I don't know much about your family, I still admire you. After the betting game that day, I also learned about the origin of the title 'Anselm City Warrior'."

"You only brought thirty-odd soldiers, yet you wiped out a bandit organization of nearly two hundred people around Vita Town. I don't quite understand why such combat power wasn't taken seriously."

First, empathize with the other person, and then take this opportunity to subtly inquire about the reason.

“Hehe…” Bane just laughed self-deprecatingly after his glorious achievements were mentioned.

"My record is probably not even worth the attention of my older brother."

"He only has magic in his eyes."

"But it makes sense. If it were a Grand Magus with six circuits, one person could wipe out that bandit organization."

"Compared to magic, ordinary people like us with little talent may only have one path: to serve as cannon fodder."

After that, Ryan tried to ask indirectly, but he still couldn't get any information out of him.

Either Bane didn't want to say, or he didn't know.

Or perhaps he was completely drunk.

In short, the results did not meet expectations.

However, Ryan had already obtained enough important intelligence.

Within the Lancy family, there is a woman who can absorb the magic of others.

It seems it's time to enter the Lancy family's manor and find out what's going on.

------

The next morning, Ryan arrived at the central square of the ancient city of Moss.

Soon, Bane's carriage arrived.

Yesterday at the casino, although Ryan didn't get the most crucial information about the Blue Flower, he inadvertently made contact with Bane.

This robust man, who wasn't particularly cunning, greatly admired Ryan.

It wasn't until Bane sobered up that he finally realized what had happened.

My older brother had previously asked me to investigate Ryan's background.

The investigation revealed that Ryan at the gambling table was none other than the dual-attribute mage from the magic academy.

In an instant, Bane sensed a path.

A way to save his brother and completely defeat Yvette.

That is, to make Ryan his retainer.

Ghosn has many mage retainers under his command, including quite a few graduates of magic academies.

Ryan is a dual-attribute mage and also an academy instructor. With these two identities combined, Ryan will definitely be able to help me.

So the next morning, Bane sent someone to find Lane and invited him to the manor for a gathering.

The goal was to befriend Ryan and then use his power to get rid of Yvette.

For Ryan, this was like a timely gift, absolutely fantastic!

However, the necessary procedures still need to be followed.

After politely declining a few times, he finally agreed, feigning an inability to refuse such a kind offer.

After bringing Tracy and Rose along, the three of them arrived at the central square.

The carriage slowly came to a stop in front of the two of them.

The person in charge of reception was a young woman.

She was one of Benn's mistresses.

After listening to the woman's introduction, Tracy nudged Ryan in the waist with her elbow and muttered something under her breath.

"See? I was right."

"Many wealthy people have mistresses."

So don't be shy~

Ryan put his arm around Tracy's waist and then pulled Rose into his embrace: "Do I look reserved?"

"Of course~"

I know everything about you.

Ryan gave Tracy a hard pinch on the back: "Then tell me, where did I feel awkward?"

After saying that, he started groping Tracy right there in the carriage, making her whimper and complain.

Rose turned her head away in embarrassment, while the woman opposite her seemed unfazed, her face always bearing a professional smile.

About half an hour later, the carriage finally arrived at the manor.

After entering the manor, Rose finally gained a new understanding of wealthy families.

In this manor, Rose saw many exotic plants that did not belong to the soil environment of Anseth City, such as broad-leaved trees that could only be found in the rain-rich kingdom of Gmarui.

Neatly dressed servants and maids stood on both sides of the cobblestone path, bowing in welcome as Ryan walked.

Bane stood at the very front of the group, opening his arms when he saw Ryan.

"Mr. Ryan, you've finally arrived!"

After learning that Ryan was a tutor at the magic academy and a dual-attribute mage, Bane's attitude towards him changed noticeably, and even his words became much more respectful.

"I've prepared a meal for you. Come inside with me."

After passing through the main hall and reception room, the group arrived at the dining room.

The walls are covered with various priceless paintings, and a huge table nearly ten meters long is filled with a sumptuous meal, with even the tableware being silver with gold trim.

"It's just a simple meal, please forgive any shortcomings in the recruitment!"

Bane laughed heartily, and the maids poured red wine for everyone at the table.

Bane raised his glass: "Welcome, Mr. Lane, to the Lancy family estate!"

------

Ryan had always been curious.

How are people supposed to eat all that food on such a long table when there's so much food on it and people can't reach it?

But after arriving at the Lance family, Ryan finally understood.

It turns out that when you eat at this kind of long table, you need servants to wait on you.

After each dish on the table has been eaten in about three or four bites, the maids will pick it up and swap it with the dishes that have still been touched.
