Can't I develop my own character?

Like a bell hanging on the threshold of a cafe, Ryan's mind fell into a trance as the sound rang out.

The sound appeared and disappeared quickly.

"Lord Ryan, what do you think? If the Dark Hand is willing to help, then there is no possibility of our plan failing."

"Well... I think it's pretty good... huh?"

Ryan wanted to say that it wasn't very good, and that he would have to pretend to pull it off even if he wanted to cooperate, but the words changed when they reached his lips.

No, it's supernatural power.

Relic?

㈠○﹄㈡0ノ╲③９bat

Ryan looked around and didn't notice any changes, but the power of the Moon Goddess' protection in his body began to interact faintly, and then the mark on his right hand also responded.

But in the end, these two forces did not move at all, because the cross sword in Ryan's body moved, and then Ryan instantly regained consciousness!

Sure enough, there was a problem. It was the power of the Lord of Trickery, but there was no magical fluctuation. How did he do that? ... Ryan had been on guard beforehand. He was even ready to use the 'Lin Qi' character card immediately. With the power of Janus' blessing, his spirit would be immune to the impact.

But now it seems that it is no longer necessary. Just like when the power of desire entered his body, the silver cross sword reacted again. This thing seemed to automatically help him eliminate those external invading forces, whether they were tangible or intangible.

"Lord Ryan?"

Kesha's voice sounded again.

"You seem a little tired. How about we end our conversation here today? After all, you also need to talk to Grand Duchess Maganna."

"Ah, it's okay, it's okay." Ryan chuckled. "It's so hard to meet each other, let's chat more."

After saying that, he took out the Pot of Greed from his storage bag.

"Ok?"

A hint of doubt appeared in Kesha's eyes.

The relic's power should have been fully unleashed. Combined with my class skills, it's absolutely foolproof. Why does Ryan seem unharmed? ...The Lord of Trickery, the god of wisdom, whose followers excel at using language and stratagem to achieve their goals. Kai'Sa's class is actually very similar to that of the Soul Singer, possessing the power of words. However, while the Soul Singer focuses on sound, her abilities focus on 'words.'

Speaking it out loud is just the simplest and quickest way to show the power of words. If she wants, she can express it in writing.

If it were an ordinary person, she could easily influence the other person invisibly, change the target's cognition, and make them act according to her ideas.

This is not soul control, but an invisible cognitive influence. The affected person may not even notice anything abnormal, but his perception of something will change the moment the power is generated.

In order to influence Ryan, Creed specially gave her a relic to assist her, which should have been foolproof.

"Alas, Miss Kesha, you have no idea how much I missed you when you suddenly disappeared. Now that you've reappeared this time and brought such a great opportunity, I'm saying this right here: on behalf of the Grand Duke, I agree to cooperate with you!"

Keisha was stunned: "Really? Why don't you confirm it with Maganna?"

"No need, the Grand Duke listens to me." Ryan grabbed Kesha's hand, his face full of enthusiasm: "Oh, thanks to you all, you don't know how worried I am. The Empress is getting more and more powerful now, and seeing the Grand Duke's chances getting slimmer and slimmer, I am also anxious!"

Keisha: "..."

what happened?

Why does it feel like Ryan has suddenly become a different person? Is it the power of the relic? That doesn't make sense... Wait!

Keisha suddenly felt a force flowing into her body from Ryan's hand.

"Ryan, what are you doing?!"

Kesha's face changed, and she thought Ryan was going to assassinate her, but she soon discovered that this power did not cause any harm, but was very... comfortable.

Yes, it is comfortable, just like being in a soft velvet quilt and enjoying the gentle massage of warm palms.

"Nothing, this is just an excited handshake."

Ryan smiled and let go of Keisha's hand.

Then sit back and drink your coffee calmly.

Keisha suddenly felt something was wrong.

It’s so hot, my body is hot.

And then there was... that pot. She looked at the pot of greed and seemed to see an ugly smiling face laughing loudly at her.

What's going on? This is... desire!

Boom!

What does it mean to be as violent as a volcanic eruption?

Kesha had no time to think about what was going on. Under the double blow of the power of the Chosen God of Desire and the Pot of Greed, she felt like countless ants were crawling on her body, and the heat was unbearable!

Keisha tried to stand up and leave, but her legs gave way and she fell down as she stood up, knocking over the chair next to her and landing on her butt.

The sudden scene caught the attention of the cafe clerk. At this moment, only Ryan and Keisha were there, so his attention was naturally focused on this table.

Seeing Keisha fall, the clerk walked over subconsciously.

"None of your business."

Ryan's voice penetrated the magic barrier.

"But she..."

"I'm Ryan."

The clerk's face turned pale and he quickly turned and left.

Ryan curled his lips. It seemed that his reputation was completely ruined by the guy like Eye of Dawn and Dusk. The lackey of the Iron-Blooded Grand Duke, the military advisor of the rebel leader, and the most evil earl in the empire, it was undoubtedly him, Ryan.

"Lian...en."

"Oh my, what's wrong with Miss Kesha? Why is her face all red? Are you sick?" Ryan exclaimed.

"You... stop pretending." Kesha trembled and gritted her teeth: "It was clearly you... you used the power of desire."

"Ha? Are you kidding me? How could I, a great Earl of the Empire, possibly use such a vile power!" Ryan said as he put away the Pot of Greed and stood up angrily: "In view of your insult to the noble Earl, I need to find someone else to discuss this cooperation with. Let Creed come, you idiot!"

"you!--"

"Oh, right." Ryan turned around and said with a faint smile: "Don't use such despicable means next time. This earl is not always so easy to talk to."

Leaving Kesha, who was bursting with desire, Ryan walked leisurely to the cashier counter and took out a gold coin and placed it on it.

"No need to give me the change. Consider the extra money as compensation for the damage that lady did to your floor."

Who said his Grandpa Ryan was a devil?

After leaving the cafe, Ryan looked around vigilantly for a while, and only left after making sure that no one was following him.

The cooperation with Creed still has to continue, but Ryan changed his mind. He wants to lure Creed out. No matter whether he can catch him or not, at least he will get him out first.

And that stupid woman Keisha dared to use such a little trick to deal with him. If he didn't need her to contact Creed, Ryan wouldn't mind throwing Keisha into the underground cell and asking ten or eight strong men to serve her well.

"What exactly are those Blood Cultists trying to do by getting involved? Is there something they want from the Augustus Empire?"

"We need to quickly determine where those people are hiding, and we also need to bring the people from the Janus Gate here in advance just in case...Ah, Lin Qi, my dear wife, I miss you."

......

Here.

Keisha did not choose to dirty the cafe, but instead forced herself to return to the hidden base, and then took out the communication relic to contact Creed as soon as possible.

Swish!

Creed, wearing a gray cloak and a hood, appeared in the room.

"Sir, there's a change of plan!"

Keisha hurriedly recounted what happened in the cafe.

Creed's voice was low: "Ryan actually used the power of desire on you? He's not from the Sun Path?"

"Absolutely not!" Kaisha couldn't help rubbing her legs together, gritting her teeth and saying, "He... that power came directly from his body, it's the power of desire, he is... ah!——"

The sudden strong stimulation made Keisha scream, and then she fell to the ground, completely trapped in the ravages of desire.

Creed: "..."

Looking at Keisha lying on the ground and rubbing herself, Creed's mouth twitched slightly.

"What else did he say?"

"He...he asked you to go and talk in person..."

Kaisha said in a trembling voice as she entered the QQ space.

"Want to see me?"

Creed wasn't surprised.

He never thought it would be so easy to succeed.

However, he was still a little surprised that Ryan was a transcendent who was passing through the Desire Path. The previous investigation clearly showed that the power of the Fire Covenant was awakened, so it should be the Sun Path.

Could it be that he had been hiding his extraordinary powers from the very beginning and infiltrated the Fire Covenant?

In any case, it is no wonder that Ryan can withstand the power of the relics. After all, spirit and emotion are also abilities that the desire path is good at. In addition, with the protection of the Grand Duke, it would be strange that Ryan did not have a few life-saving relics on him.

But Ryan wanted to see him.

This is revenge.

Or do you really want to cooperate?

"This Ryan is more difficult to deal with than Magna. If there is a chance, it is better to get rid of him as soon as possible."

Creed whispered.

If it was just Maganna, he would have absolute confidence in achieving his plan.

But with Ryan added, things became uncertain.

In fact, as early as when the old emperor passed away, Creed was expecting Maganna to lose her patience and lead her iron-blooded army to seize the throne. Once the war started, the Augustus Empire would surely collapse.

I didn't expect that I couldn't help it in that situation.

From what he knew about Magna, this was simply impossible.

So it can only be Ryan's fault.

After looking at Keisha who had already squeezed out the water, Creed put away the power of the relic and left. If he had anything to say, he would wait until the other party finished squeezing out the water.

...

"My lord, Count Daphne wishes to visit you."

Ryan's residence.

The maid brought a gold-embossed post.

Count Daphne, the famous socialite in the imperial capital Barron, Ryan glanced at her and said, "Reply to her, I'm busy."

"Yes."

The maid took the order and left.

Ryan continued to sit down and enjoy his dinner.

He sat at a dining table about three meters long, which was filled with delicious food. There was a wine glass on his left, a knife, fork and plate in front of him, and maids on both sides were on standby to pour wine for him when he finished the wine in the glass.

Looking at the well-behaved maids, Ryan sighed in his heart, what a luxurious life it is to be a noble grandpa, he loves it so much... ugh, it's too decadent.

This house has actually been bought for a long time, but it has never been lived in. Because it is in the aristocratic area, the people living around it are all big nobles in the imperial capital, such as Count Daphne just now.

The news of Ryan's return was not hidden, and coupled with his notoriety, almost everyone in Barron now knew about it.

And Daphne was the fifth nobleman who wanted to visit him that he had rejected tonight.

Among these people, some wanted to curry favor with him, some wanted to find out the situation and see if Maganna was really going to rebel, and some coveted his beauty...such as Count Daphne.

Ryan refused them all.

After enjoying dinner, he returned to his room and drew the character card of 'Lin Qi'.

Just in case, use the power of Janus to cleanse yourself again to avoid being affected by the power of the Lord of Trickery.

"That woman, Kesha, wanted to use her treacherous power to deal with me, but I didn't expect her to be defeated by the power of desire. She should still be in the QQ space now."

In other words, he did not activate the power of the Pot of Greed, otherwise Kesha would not have been able to leave the cafe.
