Chronicles of Ryan the Wizard

In the southwest of the Islar continent, there is a place called "Dense Fog Town". It is named because the town is close to the largest "Hengduan Mountains" on the Islar continent and is often shrouded in dense fog.Although there is a "town" in the name, the place is actually not very big, but there are only more than 100 households with less than 500 residents.

The folk customs of the entire "Dense Fog Town" are simple. Most of the residents rely on hunting for their livelihoods. They use the magic cores and furs that they hunted to get the necessities of life. For hundreds of years, people in the small town have become accustomed to this kind of life. Life day after day, year after year.

The rising sun in the morning hung diagonally on the sky, and the warm sunlight lazily shone on Ryan through the thick fog, giving Ryan a comfortable feeling in his heart.The weather in July is pretty good, and today it is almost the best weather of the year in Dense Fog Town.However, there are not many people in the small town. At this time of the year, there will be such good weather in Dense Fog Town for a few days. The hunters in the town have long arranged to enter the depths of the Hengduan Mountains and hunt down a few large ones. Warcraft, prepare for the upcoming "Victory Day" celebration in Takri Town.

Takri Town is the closest city to Dense Fog Town, but Takri is definitely not comparable to Dense Fog Town, let alone more than ten thousand permanent residents and the two wide commercial centers in the city center. The streets are enough proof that Takri is bustling.

The annual Victory Day celebration is to celebrate the great victory that a coalition of humans, dwarves, and elves defeated the invading army of undead in Sunrise City on the east side of the mainland 200 years ago.At the Victory Day celebration held in Takri Town, there will be merchants from all over the empire. They will bring products from all over the world, and they will also purchase the monster cores, furs and other products that are abundant in Takri Town and its vicinity. .These merchants came from different places, some came from Fernando, the capital of the north, some came from the largest commercial city in the south, Jagnas, and some even came from the city of Sea Breeze, which has overseas trade routes.It is the hard work of these businessmen who are running around that has brought the prosperity of Takri Town today.

The annual Victory Day celebration is also the happiest time for the residents of Dense Mist Town. The hard hunting for a year has finally paid off. A large number of magic cores, furs, and precious Warcraft cubs will be there for a few days. At a good price, you can also exchange for various items that are hard to buy.Some young people even plan to bite their teeth and buy the exquisite jewelry they saw last time from the fine craftsmen of Fernando City and give it to their beloved girl.

But Ryan didn't think so much. He took a breath of fresh air, and as usual, he walked quickly to a wooden house outside the town.

"Ryan~", as soon as he left the town, Ryan saw his former partner Nemo greet him in the distance.

Ryan felt a little strange. It took only two days for this hunting to go. Why did Nimo come back? He stopped and looked at Nimo carefully.I saw that Nemo was still wearing the gray clothes made of winter wolf leather that he had been hunting in the mountains for two days, but at this time the clothes had already been torn, and there were some blood stains on his chest and thighs.Naimo carried a fat piggy wild boar on his shoulders, and he also carried 2 live edelweiss in his hands, which were still moving around.

Nemo walked slowly towards Ryan.He watched Ryan look at himself, and said braggingly, "Hey, this time I got a good harvest, Ryan, look, I killed a pig myself!"

Ryan was also happy for him to see that his friend could hunt back a piggyback.You know that the pig skin is thick and powerful, and it is not easy for Nimo, who is only 16 years old, to hunt one by himself.

"Are you injured," Ryan asked concerned about the blood on Naimo's body, "Do you want me to help?"

"Haha, thank you." Nemo raised his chest, "Men will be like this, hunting happily, drinking happily..."

"Still with the woman you love," Ryan said rushingly without waiting for him to finish.

"Hehe" was said to have been on his mind, and Naimo smiled embarrassedly.

Ryan smiled and said, "You, you keep these words on your lips every time, and I'm tired of listening to them. Did your live edelweiss catch her and give it to her?"

When he was said to have been on his mind, Naimo showed a shy expression, and quickly defended: "No, in fact, this is just a catch."

Ryan was amused secretly, and then said: "Well, don't delay you, know why you ran back halfway, go find Maeve."

"Okay." Nemo hurriedly walked into the town, and didn't forget to turn around and said: "Ryan, come to have a drink in the evening. It's really good to grill this meat."

"I see," Ryan agreed, and then teased: "It's Maeve's craftsmanship, okay?"

"Haha" Nemo's laughter spread from the town, "You must come, today is my coming-of-age ceremony."

The coming-of-age ceremony, yes, time flies so fast, I am almost 16 years old.Ryan is a bit melancholy. Nemo's coming-of-age ceremony can be spent with Maeve. How about yourself?Could it be that I also went into the mountain to hunt a few prey and then invited the town partners to eat?

Ryan shook his head, throwing the thought behind him.Slowly walked towards the wooden house outside the town.

As soon as he got outside the cabin, Ryan shouted, "Mr. Galibu, I'm here."

"Well, boy, you are here", a loud voice replied.

The door of the house opened, and a strong figure appeared in front of Ryan.He was wearing clothes made of some kind of light yellow Warcraft fur, with gold coin-sized spots scattered on the clothes, a blood-red belt around his waist, and a pair of black leather boots on his feet.It is not Mr. Caleb who has taught him martial arts for nine years.

Of course Ryan knew that the light yellow dress of Teacher Galibu was made from the fur peeled off from a lightning cheetah who abused Dense Fog. The belt was made of leopard tendons mixed with several tarik antelopes. Made of tendons.If these 2 pieces were only heard by their parents, then I clearly remember the origin of the black leather boots worn on the feet of Jialibu.

About five years ago, Ryan followed Mr. Galibu to explore the depths of the Hengduan Mountains.Said it was an adventure, but Caleb led Ryan to learn some skills and experience in the wild.

Young Ryan accidentally alarmed a sleeping earth bear.The awakened Earth Bear was very angry. It slapped Ryan fiercely with its huge bear paw. At that time Ryan only learned some basic things from Caleb. The main thing was physical training. There was no time to escape, and he was about to die under the claws of the bear of the earth.

At this time, in order to protect Ryan, Galibu standing beside him made a real shot in front of Ryan for the first time.This incident gave Ryan a great shock. To kill this Earth Bear, which belongs to the seventh level in the Warcraft classics, Jialibu only used three moves!

Caleb held the Earth Bear with his left hand and slapped Ryan’s paws, then kicked the heavy Earth Bear back with one kick, and finally volleyed, and his right fist directly smashed the Earth Bear’s head, the huge body of the earth. The bear just fell softly.

Afterwards, Ryan asked Mr. Galibu why he could kill the Earth Bear in three strokes. Mr. Galibu said meaningfully: "It's as simple as that with a powerful enough force to hit the enemy's vital points with dexterity and skill."

Of course, the outcome of this matter was that Caleb asked Ryan to drag the Earth Bear back by himself as punishment for him.It took Ryan a few days, struggling to finally drag the cumbersome guy back.

Ryan still remembers that when that short figure carried the huge earth bear into the town, it was a scene of surprise in everyone's eyes, which made Ryan who was onlookers a little proud.Maybe, Naimo Antipig entered the town today because it was also affected by that time.

"Ryan, you come in with me", when he saw Ryan staring at his shoes, Teacher Caleb said lightly.

"Oh, okay." Ryan was interrupted by Teacher Galibu's voice, and he quickly agreed, and followed the teacher into the wooden house.

As soon as the two entered the wooden house, Ryan heard an old voice saying, "Ryan, you are here."

Ryan followed the voice and said, "Ah, it's Mr. Delaney, why are you here too?"

I saw an old man in a magic robe sitting on a chair to Ryan's right. The years passed by and his face was filled with wrinkles.The old man's clothes were very simple, except for a magic badge symbolizing the identity of a magician on his chest, without any magic items, nor any decoration.

There is a table beside the old man, besides a chair the old man sits on, there are also two chairs beside the table.The tables and chairs are the most common birch wood, the workmanship is very rough, even the bark is not peeled off.On the table were a large bucket and two wooden water cups, which were carved by Ryan himself with a dagger on the golden thorn log.

Seeing Mr. Delaney appearing in front of his eyes, Ryan was a little surprised. Mr. Delaney, who originally left after something happened last month, came back in less than a month. The last time he left did not say that something was more troublesome. Do you want to deal with the matter? It's solved so soon?

Seeing that Ryan was a little surprised at his appearance, Delaney didn't think there was anything wrong. He slowly said, "Ryan, don't think about it so much. Today, Galibu and I are going to tell you something important. thing."

After Caleb and Ryan sat around the table, Dranai slowly said: "Ryan, you are 16 years old this year. On the continent of Islar, children growing to 16 years old means that, usually , The child’s parent or teacher will assign a question to the child and let the child complete it through their own efforts. This is the coming-of-age trial. Have you ever thought about how to conduct your own coming-of-age trial?"

Hearing what Mr. Delaney said, Ryan couldn't help but deeply recall his past:

Ryan was born in an ordinary hunter's family in Dense Mist Town, because the family is not well-off, his parents have only one child.When Ryan was 5 years old, a mature lightning cheetah came to the mountains outside the town.The Lightning Cheetah, which is listed as level 6 in the World of Warcraft, is fast, moves like wind, has sharp claws and teeth, has a grumpy temper and is extremely aggressive.When the hunters in Dense Fog Town went into the mountains to hunt, many people were attacked by this lightning cheetah, and several others died.

When the whole town was at a loss, Caleb passed by here. When he learned about the difficulties the town was facing, he took out the Lightning Cheetah.The residents of the town are very grateful to Caleb, and Caleb also likes the simple folk customs here, so he built a wooden house outside the town to settle down.So Caleb lived in Dense Fog Town.

Slowly everyone became familiar with it, and the residents of the town got used to having such an extra neighbor.The children in the town worship heroes, and they all surround the Caleb where the Lightning Cheetah was removed.Although Jialibu is indifferent to people, he prefers to children. Afterwards, he couldn't stand the plea of ​​the children and accepted seven or eight children to teach some basic martial arts.Ryan and Naimo are the better ones in this group.

After several years of basic training, the skills of children who learn martial arts with Caleb have greatly improved compared to their peers.Once, Caleb asked why the children learn martial arts with them. Some other children said they wanted to learn martial arts to show off in front of their partners. Some planned to learn more martial arts to support their family when they grew up. Only Ryan said that he wanted to protect the people around him. People, this sentence touched Caleb, so he paid more attention to Ryan's teaching, and Ryan's skills far surpassed Naimo and others.

Five years ago, that is the year when Ryan entered the town carrying the Earth Bear, Delaney came to Dense Fog and found Caleb.It is very difficult to capture an Earth Bear in the mountainous area of ​​the western mainland where Dense Fog Town is located.Under normal circumstances, it takes a lot of effort to form a hunting team of more than twenty people, and the captured earth bear is also scarred.However, Galibu and Ryan only went to the Hengduan Mountains for a few days and killed an Earth Bear, and the fur of the one they killed was almost undamaged. How could it not cause a sensation?

This matter quickly spread throughout the surrounding towns and became a conversational resource for many people.Dranai heard other people talking about this when staying in Takri Town, so he set up Dense Fog Town together to visit adventurers who could capture the bear of the earth, and therefore found Caleb.

Dranai and Galibu had been apart for a long time, and they were very happy to see each other again this time, and they talked about their experiences after they were separated and talked for a whole night.

The next day, when Delaney saw Ryan who came to learn martial arts with Caleb, he unexpectedly discovered that Ryan had a good magic talent, and offered to teach Ryan to learn magic.

In this way, Ryan has one more class every day, learning magic.After more than 4 years of magic learning, Ryan gradually mastered many magic skills and was able to release multiple magic easily, which made Dranai very satisfied.

A call from Feng Peng came from outside the cabin, which awakened Ryan from his memories and returned to reality. He sorted out his thoughts and said to Delaney, "Teacher Delaney, what kind of adulthood do you think I should have? What about the Trial of Li?"

Dranath knew that Ryan would say this for a long time, and he and Galibu looked at each other, a smile appeared on his face, which made the wrinkles on his forehead more prominent.

Delaney said slowly: "Ryan, your sixteenth birthday will be in a few days. As far as I know, the custom in Dense Fog Town should be to hunt down a monster alone, and then invite good friends to participate in it. Of course, this hunted beast will become everyone’s meal."

"Yes, Teacher Delaney." Ryan nodded, and suddenly he remembered something, and added: "I just met Nemo, and he wants me to go at night. This is Nemo's coming-of-age ceremony. Practice it."

"You have been learning martial arts with me for nine years? You have learned magic with Della for more than four years." Caleb took over the topic and said, "If it's just a simple hunting of beasts, it is estimated that with your Len's ability, Coupled with careful arrangement, it is possible to hunt a seventh-level earth bear independently, so I do not recommend that you celebrate your adulthood in this way."

Ryan nodded and agreed. After studying with the two teachers for many years, he really suffered a lot. Such ordinary trials really didn't appeal to him.

Jialibu continued: "I still remember that once I asked everyone why you want to learn martial arts from me. Your answer is, you must protect the people around you." Speaking of this, Jialibuwang Looking into Ryan's eyes, he said word by word: "Why do you say that?"

Ryan didn’t expect that a sentence he said many years ago made Garib’s memory fresh. He thought about it and said: "Teacher Garib, I remember that when I was very young, my father took me and my My mother went into the Hengduan Mountains to hunt for the beasts. My father had a good harvest that day and hit a few jungle phoenix chickens, but later in order to protect the mother who was holding me, my father was hit with blood on the fangs of a piggy boar.

At the campfire that night, my father asked my mother to wrap his wounds and said to me who was sitting beside him, my child, remember, as a man, you must protect yourself and the people around you, and don’t let them suffer. Hurt, even if I pay for it."

Speaking of this, Ryan seemed a little emotional. He stood up and said excitedly: "Teacher Galibu, Teacher Delaney, do you know? My father is a very ordinary hunter, and he is silent even if he is wronged. Don’t argue with others. But at the moment when the safety of his relatives was threatened, he just blocked his mother’s body with his body, and used a hunting fork to stick a rampaging pigeon on the ground. Great power."

"The impact on me was too deep. Although I was still young, I secretly vowed that I would like to learn martial arts from my father like this, and do my best to protect my family and friends!"

Caleb and Delaney listened quietly to Ryan's story.Looking at Ryan, who was a little excited, Galibu said: "Ryan, relax and drink some water first. I believe you can carry out your promise."

Ryan reached out and picked up the water glass carved out of wood on the table and drank the water in it.

When Ryan calmed down, Caleb motioned Ryan to sit down, and then said, “Ryan, in addition to learning martial arts and magic, Delaney and I have also taught you a lot of knowledge about Islar. You can see that you are longing for the vast world outside, so have you ever thought of going out of this small town?"
