Chronicles of Ryan the Wizard

Chapter 3 First Trip

Two days later, the group of people who went hunting in the mountain came back.After a few days, Ryan also missed his father very much. He welcomed his father back outside the town just like everyone else.The results of this companion hunt were very good, and Ryan's father also returned with satisfaction.Ryan helped his father carry back 2 dead mountain antelopes and a small bush dog alive.

After dinner in the evening, Ryan proposed to his parents for his coming-of-age trial.

Ryan's mother was very worried about Ryan, and some did not want Ryan to go.But the usually taciturn father just thought about it, and firmly agreed to Ryan's request.Although Ryan's mother was a little bit reluctant, as a woman, she had always obeyed Ryan's father's arrangements regarding major family matters.

Ryan was very surprised by his father's decision. He thought he would have to wait for several days even if his father agreed.Ryan’s father looked at his son’s slightly immature face, and said with pity: "Your mother and I love you very much, but you are a man, and you will be independent sooner or later. Besides, I am very relieved of your teacher Jialibu. I believe in him and I believe in my children."

Looking at his father's weather-beaten but caring face, Ryan couldn't help but shed tears.

The next day, Ryan and his parents came to Jialib’s cabin.Jialibu, Dranai, Nimo and Meifu were already waiting there.

Lane is usually busy learning martial arts and magic with the teacher, and there are no particularly good friends in the town, that is, the relationship between Nemo, who learns with Caleb, is better.Therefore, this time Ryan's coming-of-age ceremony trial only told Nemo and Meifu.

His father put out the savings he had accumulated for many years for Ryan's coming-of-age ceremony trial, while his mother packed up his luggage overnight.Teacher Galibu gave Ryan a dagger, and Teacher Delaney gave Ryan a magic storage pocket.

This magic storage pocket is almost a must-have for adventurers in their adventure career. His appearance is just a small pocket, as long as it is tied to his body.But when it is opened, it is a big space, which can store a lot of items.

Ryan only knew the existence of the storage pocket from the usual discussions between Caleb and Delaney. He was very envious. He didn't expect to have one today.After Mr. Delaney briefly demonstrated how to use the storage pockets, Ryan was already able to put his carry-on baggage and the dagger that Mr. Caleb gave him.

Due to the rush of time, Nemo and Maifu prepared something special. Meifu just stringed the sixteen fangs of the wild boar that Nimo hunted overnight to make a bracelet and gave it to Ryan .

Under everyone's silent gaze, Ryan slowly walked away.

As night falls, the wind blows gently, making people feel a little cool in the warm July.Ryan sat by the campfire, carefully removed the meat that had just been cooked, blew it with his mouth, and ate it.

The meat of the edelweiss is delicious, which makes Ryan eat with relish, and he thinks in his mind: "This edelweiss tastes really good, although it does not taste as good as the mother's...well, it's time to fight, I went out in the morning, why? Just homesick?" Ryan smiled self-deprecatingly and began to figure out his schedule.

Although his father gave Ryan a lot of gold coins, these are not enough for this coming-of-age ceremony trial. In addition, Ryan has to find a few partners to complete the trial together, and there is more money to spend!

"It seems we need to register a mercenary first," Ryan said in his heart: "Completing tasks to earn money can also improve yourself. However, it is less than 4 months away from the competitive competition. You may not be able to do too troublesome tasks. It’s the choice of a partner. This is the biggest headache. Where can I find the right one?"

Ryan thought for a long time, and felt that things had to be done one by one. He set himself the first goal: first go to Takri Town, become a mercenary, and earn money by completing mercenary missions.If you have the opportunity to work with others, you might as well give it a try.

After dinner, Ryan stood up, stretched a long waist, and patted his stomach again.Well, I'm full, so comfortable.

Ryan added a few branches to the bonfire and nodded as he watched the burning flames, predicting that these branches could almost burn until dawn.He walked to the big tree next to him, climbed up quickly, and sat firmly on the forked trunk.

Ryan followed Caleb into the Hengduan Mountains many times when he was young. His father was also an excellent hunter in the small town. He knew the basic knowledge of survival in the wild for a long time: if you sleep alone in the forest, if you light a bonfire, It can be more effective to guard against beasts, such as wolves, snakes and other threatening beasts are afraid of fire, so they dare not come over. If they can sleep in a clean tree, it will be cool and safe.Of course, if you have the opportunity, you should also buy a camping tent, so you are not afraid of bad weather.

Thinking of shopping, Ryan couldn't help taking out the storage pocket his teacher Delaney gave him.This thing is really good for myself. Although it looks like a small pocket and can be attached to the body, it is actually a large space inside. This seems to be caused by alchemy plus space magic.However, Ryan doesn't understand this, anyway, as long as he knows how to use it, why bother to think about things that he doesn't understand. If you have the opportunity to ask Mr. Delaney again?

Ryan flipped through his storage pocket and took out the dagger given to him by Teacher Jialibu under a few pieces of clothing.The dagger is about the same length as his forearm, and the scabbard is made from the skin of a very ordinary takrei antelope.Ryan held the handle of the sword and pulled out the short sword with slight force on his wrist.

The short sword was pitch black and did not reflect under the bright moonlight. It looked very ordinary, which made Ryan a little disappointed.He lightly held the dagger in his right hand and drew it toward the branch without any effort. He cut off a branch with the thick arm without any effort.

Seeing the effect of the sword test in front of him, Ryan was taken aback. He didn't expect this short sword to look inconspicuous, but it was so sharp.So he added some strength and thrust the dagger into the trunk. In Ryan's expectation, the dagger plunged into the tree, and there was no sound!

Ryan was ecstatic. Teacher Galibu really gave him a good gift. With this short sword, his best at close fast attack is even more threatening.

Ryan hurriedly drew out the short sword and examined the blade carefully, hoping to find out the reason for its sharpness.But Ryan didn’t know anything about weapon making. He just heard Dranai talk about some simple knowledge about alchemy and adding magic to equipment. After looking at it for a long time, he didn’t find anything. He just barely believed that it was an additional magic. Because of the existence of magic, this short sword is extremely sharp, and it does not have the metal luster and reflective characteristics like ordinary weapons.In addition, Ryan only found the two small characters "Shadow Death" on the sword, which is probably the name of this short sword.

Maybe it was because of the first trip, maybe it was the sharpness of Shadowsall that made Ryan excited. In short, Ryan just couldn't sleep, tossing all night, and barely slept for a while until dawn.

Early the next morning, Ryan woke up early.He soaked the campfire with some embers with the clear water in the water sac, then filled the water sac with clear water in the stream next to him, ate a few pieces of rabbit meat left last night, and faced the rising sun. Rick Town walked.

The town of Tariq is not very far from the town of Dense Fog, only a day and a half away.Before noon, Ryan came to Takri Town.

This is the second time Ryan has come. The last time was about 3 or 4 years old.At that time, he was too young, and Ryan had no impression of Takri Town.But this is not difficult for Ryan. He learned the method used by the protagonist in the adventure story that Caleb told him, took out 2 copper coins, and let a kid playing outside lead himself to the door of the mercenary guild .

This square building is very old and has a history of at least a hundred years. There is a wooden sign hanging at its door. Although it has been exposed to wind and sun for many years, one can still be clearly identified on the wooden sign. The crossed emblem of a sword and a staff.Ryan recalled what Caleb had told him about the mercenary guild, opened the door of the mercenary guild, and walked in.

Although many years have passed, although Caleb did not have an adventurous career in Takri Town, everything is exactly the same as Caleb said. After spending a gold coin, Ryan became a member of the Mercenary Guild. One member received a magic crystal that symbolized his identity.With it, Ryan can accept missions in any mercenary guild on the continent of Islar.

Ryan’s first thing after becoming a mercenary is that he carefully asked about the recently released mercenary missions and found that most of the missions are errands, like helping someone find a lost pet or investigating a certain nobleman. Mistress, send the package to the designated place. These tasks are troublesome and require luck. Ryan is not interested at all.

After reviewing all the mercenary missions several times, Ryan finally found a task that was barely acceptable: A small village called Anceino Village, about a day away from Takri, was attacked by the Winter Wolf. , The mercenary mission publisher, the village chief of this small village released a mission to clear the Winter Wolf of Warcraft 3 days ago. The reward was a bonus of five gold coins.

Ryan, who was born as a hunter, is quite experienced in tasks such as clearing beasts. Wouldn't it be enough to hunt him before the victory day?Ryan smiled, he didn't participate in this year's hunting, it seems that he made it up this time.

After going through the relevant procedures with the staff of the Mercenary Guild, Ryan took over the task.In order to find the village of Anceno easily, Ryan bought a map by the way. The towns and villages around Takri Town, such as Anceno Village and Dense Fog Town, have detailed labels on it, so that travelers can reach their destinations more conveniently. .

After receiving the task, Ryan decided to travel around the town and purchase some applicable items by the way.

The Mercenary Guild is on the busiest street in Takri Town, and the center of the town is right outside.There are shops on both sides of the street, with cries and bargaining sounds one after another.

Ryan walked slowly in the crowd, and stopped to take a look at the sale of Warcraft cores or furs, and asked about the price.After looking at more than a dozen shops, Ryan found that there was nothing particularly good here. The Warcraft fur sold was far inferior to those produced in Dense Fog Town, his hometown. He lost the interest in continuing shopping, so he decided to stop. , Find a place to eat.

When Ryan was looking for a suitable hotel, he found that there was a shop not far in front of him with a hammer hung. This was the sign of the blacksmith shop. Ryan suddenly forgot the reality that he was hungry and decided to go and take a look.

The blacksmith's shop is not big, and it only takes ten steps from one side to the other.On the far right side of the shop is a stove. Beside the stove are various crafting tools. Two middle-aged blacksmiths are standing upright, waving hammers in front of the stove, trying to forge something.A young man who seemed to be an apprentice was pulling desperately next to the bellows.Seeing someone coming, one of the middle-aged men put down his hammer and greeted him.

Ryan was very satisfied with the Shadowsoul dagger that Caleb gave him, but he usually had no tools to peel and wash the warcraft skins. It seemed too extravagant to always use Shadowsoul, so Ryan planned to buy a dagger.In addition, this mission is to deal with a group of winter wolves. Ryan also plans to buy ten traps. It would be best if he could buy bows and arrows.

Ryan shared his thoughts with the blacksmith. The middle-aged blacksmith thought for a while and said, "I have daggers in stock here, you see all hanging over there." After that, he pointed with his hand.Ryan looked in the direction pointed by the middle-aged blacksmith, and he saw that in a corner of the original stove, there were six or seven unopened daggers of different sizes and styles.

"But is this trap for the beast?" The middle-aged blacksmith paused and said, "I don't have any stock here. I ordered a batch of goods that were delivered ten days ago in Dense Fog last month. I received a big deal and ordered fifty sets in a place. I'm on a rush to work."

Ryan felt a little cordial when he heard the name of Dense Mist Town.It’s right to think about it. Isn’t this just the hunting this month? A new batch of clips must be customized, but I don’t know how long it will take for the new batch to be completed, so I asked: "Then how long will you be able to do as soon as possible? Come out?"

The middle-aged blacksmith had the final say, and said: "I have three of us here, and I have to take care of the business in the store. It will take about 5 days to finish this batch of goods. You order the 10 pieces in almost 2 days. You I have to wait at least 7 days."

"Seven days?" Ryan thought to himself: "It seems that this mission is beyond expectation."

"Forget it, I'll pick a dagger" Ryan said disappointedly.

"Whatever you want, go and watch it over there. If you are optimistic, just call me. The goods here may not be as exquisite as those in the big cities, but they are definitely easy to use." The middle-aged blacksmith confessed a few words and turned to take it. Pick up the hammer and continue beating.

In fact, Ryan didn't have any special requirements for the dagger, as long as it was about the same, so he quickly selected a dagger.

The middle-aged blacksmith looked up at the style Ryan had selected and walked into the room.After a while, he took out a dagger that was exactly the same from the room and handed it to Ryan, saying, "2 silver coins."

Ryan took the dagger and asked strangely, "Why don't you hang up with this one?"

The middle-aged blacksmith smiled and said, "Hang this on the outside." He pointed to the unopened dagger, and continued: "It's useless if others take it. I always have to look at the shop if I save it."

Ryan also smiled: "So that's it." He took a closer look at this one in his hand. Indeed, although the workmanship of the small blacksmith shop is a bit rough, it is still quite sharp. You can use it when

Ryan took out silver coins to pay for the dagger, put the dagger in the storage pocket, and asked the blacksmith: "Do you have bows and arrows here?"

The middle-aged blacksmith said: "That's not true. I am not qualified to make this bow and arrow. This item will only be sold at a special weapon shop, and you have to register carefully after you buy it. It is too troublesome."

Ryan saw that he had nothing to buy, and walked out of the forge.

It was already afternoon when Ryan came out of the blacksmith's shop. After he felt his stomach protest again, he remembered that he hadn't eaten lunch yet, so he made up his mind to find a place to have a good meal. This time, he didn't change anything. .

Although the town of Takri is relatively prosperous, it is not too big. After Ryan walked two streets, he sat down at the table in a small hotel.From going out yesterday morning to this afternoon, Ryan ate an edelweiss. His stomach was already hungry.

Ryan ordered a large plate of roasted tacre beef, another roast pork pie and a large glass of refreshing juice.Soon, what he wanted was brought up by the owner of the hotel.He looked at the steaming pork pie and the scented barbecue, couldn't help but move his index finger, enjoying his delicious meal.

After enjoying a hearty meal, Ryan had a full hiccup and felt very comfortable.He called the innkeeper and asked him to prepare a room for himself.Because he will get up early tomorrow, for convenience, he bought some hard bread and a few pieces of roast beef for breakfast tomorrow.

After paying the money, Ryan followed the innkeeper to the room he had booked contentedly.

The room is upstairs from the Lion’s dining area. It’s not too big, but it’s clean.There were only a bed, a table, and 2 chairs that were not very strong, and they were crunching.Ryan felt that the rattling chair was uncomfortable at all, so he simply lay down on the bed.Soon, he entered the dream.
