Chapter 386 The Villain Lady Arrives 215
On the night Ryan was about to leave, the moonlight was as silver as silver, covering the entire town. He stood in front of his cabin, looking at the dimly lit streets in the distance, feeling mixed emotions. He knew that once he left, he would never be able to return to this place full of memories, and would never see those friends who had once given him warmth and happiness.
At this moment, a dark shadow approached him silently. Ryan turned around alertly, only to find a mysterious man in a black robe. The mysterious man's face was covered tightly by a hood, revealing only a pair of eyes that were shining with a faint light.
"Are you Ryan?" The mysterious man's voice was low and hoarse, as if it came from the depths of hell.
Ryan nodded, with an ominous feeling in his heart: "Who are you? What do you want from me?"
The mysterious man smiled slightly, took out a scroll from his bosom, and slowly unfolded it: "I am the messenger of the Dark Church. We have learned your identity and the news that you are about to leave. This is our sincerity, a detailed map of the patrol routes, magic array deployment and important strongholds of the Light Church."
Ryan looked at the scroll with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He didn't expect that the Dark Church would come to him at this time, and he didn't expect that they would be so generous to provide this important information.
"Why give me this?" Ryan's voice was filled with a hint of confusion.
The mysterious man sneered: "We, the Dark Church, have been looking for a force that can break the rule of the Light Church. And you, as a descendant of the nobility from another world, have potential that we cannot estimate. We hope that you can become our ally and fight against the Light Church together."
Ryan was silent for a while, his heart was turbulent. He knew that once he accepted this scroll, it would mean that he would completely break with the Church of Light and embark on a road full of unknowns and dangers. However, he also understood that this was his only chance to change his fate and realize his ambitions.
"Okay, I accept." Ryan's voice was firm and powerful, as if at this moment he had made the most important decision in his life.
The mysterious man nodded with satisfaction and handed the scroll to Ryan: "Very good, Ryan. You made a wise choice. We in the Dark Church will fully support you as long as you are willing to fight alongside us."
Ryan took the scroll and held it tightly in his hand. He felt the heavy weight, as if he also felt the heavy responsibility on his shoulders.
"I will." Ryan's voice was low and firm, as if he was making a solemn oath to the mysterious man and to himself.
The mysterious man smiled slightly, turned around and disappeared into the night. Ryan looked at his departing back, and a complex emotion surged in his heart. He knew that from this moment on, the trajectory of his life would be completely changed.
Back inside, Ryan carefully unfolded the scroll and studied every detail on it. He knew the importance of this scroll and knew that he had to act with caution. He silently memorized every patrol route, the location of every magic circle, and the layout of every important stronghold, then carefully rolled up the scroll and hid it in a place only he knew.
The next morning, when the first rays of sunlight shone into the house, Ryan had packed his bags and was ready to leave. He stood in front of the window, looking at the familiar town and the place where his friends lived in the distance, feeling reluctant to leave. However, he also knew that he had to face the future bravely and pursue his dreams and ambitions.
He took a deep breath and turned to leave the cabin. On his way out, he met Alice and Tariq who were taking a walk. When they saw Ryan carrying his bag, they showed surprise and confusion on their faces.
"Ryan, where are you going?" Alice's voice was filled with concern.
Ryan stopped and looked at them: "I'm leaving. My family has found my whereabouts and they are preparing to take me back."
Tariq frowned when he heard this: "So soon? We haven't had time to say goodbye properly."
Ryan smiled and shook his head: "It doesn't matter, we will always remember each other in our hearts. You should also take good care of yourself, I hope we will have the chance to see each other again."
After saying that, he turned and left without looking back. Alice and Tariq looked at his departing back, their hearts filled with reluctance and helplessness. They knew that this farewell might be a farewell forever.
Ryan rushed all the way and soon came to a remote corner. He looked around and made sure no one was paying attention. Then he took out a black flare from his pocket and threw it into the sky. The flare drew a dazzling track in the air, then exploded and turned into a cloud of black smoke.
After a while, a figure in a black robe walked out from the shadows. He walked up to Ryan and bowed slightly: "Lord Ryan, you are finally here."
Ryan nodded: "Is everything ready?"
The man in black robe took out a sealed box from his arms and handed it to Ryan: "It's all here, including all the magic materials and equipment you need."
Ryan took the box and opened it. He saw all kinds of magic materials and equipment inside, each of which exuded an attractive light. He nodded with satisfaction, closed the box again, and put it on his shoulder.
"Let's go." Ryan's voice was low and powerful, as if at this moment, he was ready to face all challenges.
The black-robed man responded and led Ryan to the secret base of the Dark Church. Along the way, they carefully avoided the patrols and magic circles of the Light Church and finally came to a hidden cave.
The man in black robe stopped and said respectfully: "Lord Ryan, this is our secret base. You can settle down here temporarily and wait for the next instruction."
Ryan nodded and walked in. The cave was spacious and bright, filled with various magic runes and mechanisms. He looked around and couldn't help but secretly admire the strength and wisdom of the Dark Church.
In the following days, Ryan began to concentrate on training and learning. He used the magic materials and equipment provided by the Dark Church to continuously improve his strength and skills. At the same time, he also began to study the detailed map of the patrol routes, magic array deployment and important strongholds of the Light Church to make full preparations for future battles.
However, he did not forget his friends. Whenever it was late at night, he would silently miss Alice and Tariq, imagining what they were doing at the moment. He knew that they might have forgotten his existence, but he could never forget the warmth and happiness they gave him.
One night, when Ryan was practicing, he suddenly heard a burst of hurried footsteps outside the cave. He was startled and immediately stood up alertly. He saw several members of the Dark Church in black robes hurried in and looked at him nervously.
"Lord Ryan, it's bad! The Church of Light has discovered our secret base and is attacking us!" one of the men in black robes said anxiously.
