For the next few days, Ryan and Allendo didn't go out and chatted with Franna in the room of the Lion King's Pride.

Alendor described to Flanner in detail what the young man he had seen looked like. Seven or eight menacing guys came to recover Franner's arrears, but when someone was willing to pay off the debt for Franna, instead of being happy to recover the arrears, his face became hesitant and asked others for help, which was also too unreasonable.

I'm afraid that even fools can see that their purpose is not to recover any arrears, but to kill Flanner. Perhaps, it was the young man who laid the trap to fool Flanna, or some force behind the young man.

Unfortunately, despite Allendo's detailed description of the young man's appearance and clothing, as well as the appearance of the two powerful bodyguards behind him, Flanner could not remember who the young man was, because the young man was not one he knew.

In fact, this young man is Steven, but with Franner's current strength, he has no chance to know him at all. Steven is also one of the contenders for the next president of the Dorlock Business Alliance, if it weren't for the fact that Franner also participated in this competition, with Steven's strength, he wouldn't have taken this guy from the slums in his eyes at all, a little man who can't afford to buy merchant ships, is it worth owning dozens of merchant ships, and also monopolizing the trade of three goods in the free paradise?

Of course, Flanner didn't know all about Steven, he just guessed that it was another contender behind his back, but he couldn't guess who it was. The secrecy of the Dorok Business Alliance is still very effective for him. Of course, even if he knew who did it, so what? After the rest of his life, Franner had already given up the competition for the president from the bottom of his heart, and he didn't have the heart to fulfill his previous grand dream, not to mention, he didn't have the capital, not Ryan, he didn't even have a place to live now.

When a person has no food, no clothing, and cannot survive, he will not think about anything else, even if it is the supreme god of light, it is not as good as a piece of black and hard bread. For the understanding of this sentence, Flanner at this time is deeper than anyone else.

When Ryan rescued Flanner and paid off the debt, he didn't have too many thoughts in his heart, there was a friend in front of him, although he had only been in contact for a short period of time, but this friend was very good to himself, and now this friend was in trouble, and he could help, why not help?

Anyway, now Ryan is also a rich man, not to mention the things that Farath and others gave him when he left the imperial capital, just the last time he participated in the adventure of the Six Arrows Mercenary Group, the gold coins that Ryan harvested have not been touched, the two of them have been in the wild for this time, and they have not even touched a copper coin at all, but there are a lot of monster furs and magic cores in the storage pocket. Two thousand six hundred gold coins is really not much, and even if they pay the arrears, the remaining part is enough for them to live in a luxurious place like the pride of the lion king.

"Well, since you can't remember, don't bother with it anymore. Ryan poured a glass of wine for Franna, then took the water in front of him and drank it down, and asked Franna, "Franner, you have lived in Paradise of Freedom for so many years, you must be familiar with this place, right?"

"Of course, I was born and raised here, so I'm familiar with everything here. Flanner said, "Is there anything wrong with you?"

Ryan suddenly had a headache, and he hurriedly said, "Don't use words like you, I really can't get used to hearing it." Just call me Ryan. ”

"That's not going to work!" Flanner rejected Ryan's offer, explaining, "This title is quite important, because it is a private occasion, so I have been quite brief, otherwise according to the etiquette of the nobility, I should call you 'Your Excellency the Magician'!"

"No!" Ryan waved his hand violently, looking at Franna with a sincere gaze, he thought of a wording to avoid Flanner's embarrassment, and then said to Franna, "First of all, please forget about that contract, it has long been reduced to ashes." We are friends, Franna, and as I call you by your name, as a friend, you should call me by my name, Lane. Instead of adding some magician, you and so on. ”

"Second," Lane stopped Flanner from speaking with a slight swing of his hands, and he continued, "I am nothing more than a commoner's child, and my father was a hunter who hunted to feed a family of three. I learned a lot from my teacher, and I also had a little bit of gold coins on me. ”

"But so what? I'm not a nobleman, and I hate hypocritical etiquette. Listen, Franner, if I cared about that, I wouldn't have come here with Alendor, in fact, if I wanted to, I could have lived well in the Imperial Capital, better than most nobles. ”

"This ......" Flanner was speechless for a moment, he listened to Ryan's unusual words, and didn't know what to say. However, he rolled his eyes, and immediately thought of his words: "So what? Fernando, the founder of the empire, had ancestors who were only commoners, and even Chilaviv, the president of the Dorok Business Alliance, was born in the slums. But who dares not to respect them now?"

"You can't say that, do you?

"Fernando I had friends who said something similar, but no one would be stupid enough to really be his equal. ”

"I'm not such a noble person. ”

"But these rules can't be changed!"

“......”

“......”

Alendor sat on the sidelines, he had met Flanner for the first time, but he had heard Ryan mention this person before, and as Ryan's friend, Alendor knew why Ryan would not hesitate to help Flanner.

Hiring Ryan with a lot of money and treating Ryan in the pride of the lion king is just a good employer for Ryan to think of, but what Ryan values is what Flanner enlightened him that night. When Ryan killed someone for the first time in his life, and his heart was full of hesitation and helplessness, it was Franner who enlightened him in time: "If everyone is like this gang of thieves, using force to take the lives of others and destroy the beauty of this world, what will become of the Eslar Continent? There will only be endless killing! Infinite fear! Ruthless destruction!"

"By getting rid of this gang of thieves, you are protecting the lives of other people who are not capable of protecting themselves! Your actions will be commended! Because it restores order to the world, so that the truly good people can live better!"

It was these few words that made Ryan understand the meaning of everything he did, and it was this enlightenment that made Ryan treat those bad guys without mercy in the future, which led to a series of experiences in Giethoorn, Elmida and so on. If Ryan's teachers Delaney and Galib let Ryan go out on an adventure to implicitly point out the goal for Ryan, then Franner's words opened a door for Ryan to find the direction of his adventure: punish evil and promote good.

This is the real reason why Ryan regards Flanner as his good friend, maybe even Ryan himself can't tell, but Alendo, who was born and died with him, knows Ryan's mood very well, so he spoke to the two who were arguing, "Flanner, Ryan." Listen to me. ”

The two stopped arguing and looked at Allendo together.

Alendor said slowly: "Flanna, I've been on adventures with Ryan for a year, and although it's not very long, I think I know Ryan very well. ”

"Ryan was born in a commoner, he doesn't have the boring rules of those aristocratic lords in his heart, and you Franner have lived here in Paradise of Freedom for so many years, and you seem to have been to many places on the mainland, and you may have some understanding of the interaction between people. But what I want to say is that even the ruler of this empire, or the head of the Chamber of Commerce of the rich country, is just a passer-by in Ryan's heart, and those people are just ordinary people to Ryan, and Ryan does not value power and money. ”

"Hehe, you may not know much about Lane's experience, this guy who dares to wander at His Majesty's banquet, I guess he is the only one since the establishment of the empire, right?

"Ahh

"Oh, Elendo, why do you mention this?"

"Hey, Ryan. Don't interject, listen to me. Allendo smiled, and after Ryan was obviously distracted during the banquet, the wonderful expression on his face when he was woken up appeared in front of Elendor's eyes again, and continued to say to Flanner: "Even with the high-ranking members of the empire, Ryan has never cared about these boring things, this is not because he is arrogant, but in his heart, he really treats others equally, and there is no difference between high and low." ”

"To put it mildly, Ryan helped you pay off your debts because he treated you as a good friend of his own, not as a servant. So, Franner, please stop restraining yourself with all those frivolous manners and rules, and open your heart, Ryan treats you as a friend, but it would be a shame if you treated him as an employer. ”

Ellendo's words were already very straightforward, and of course Flanner understood the implicit meaning of his words, he thought about it carefully, and nodded at Elendo: "I understand, thank you, Elendo." ”

Ryan smiled, and he said happily, "yes, that's what friends call each other." In the future, you will call us by name, and we will only call you by name, don't be too restrictive. ”

"Okay, Ryan. ”

The three of them laughed together.
