Chronicles of Ryan the Wizard

At night, in the center of Anceno Village, under the big tree surrounded by two people, a blazing bonfire was lit. The villagers happily ate roasted winter wolf meat and drank delicious malt wine around the bonfire. Talking about the experience of cleaning up the battlefield in the afternoon.

A young magician, alone came to a remote village threatened by monsters, cast brilliant magic, eradicated the raging monsters, and rescued the suffering people.This legendary story, which originally appeared only in the beautiful singing melody of the bard, is happening by my side today. Is there a better way to talk about it?Is there a more fascinating story?Ryan, who independently hunted 27 winter wolves, immediately became a hero in the eyes of the Acheno people.

Ryan originally didn't drink alcohol, and faced the enthusiastic villagers, he had to decline with the excuse of "I am a magician, I must keep my mind sober and cannot drink".Facing the villagers of Anceno, Ryan felt the joy of helping others for the first time. Although the mercenary mission was not very rewarding, isn't it the greatest reward for him to truly help others?At this time, Ryan had already forgotten the unpleasant mood at the beginning.

In the early morning of the next day, when the villagers in Anceno were still immersed in the joy of last night's carnival, and still awake, Ryan had already embarked on the journey back to Takri Town.

In the evening, Ryan returned to Takri Town.

After entering the city, Ryan went directly to the Mercenary Guild in the center of the town.

When Ryan showed the certificate issued by the mayor of Anceno Village that the raging monsters had been eradicated, the staff of the Mercenary Guild quickly went through the procedures for Ryan to complete the mission and took out Ryan’s reward for this mission. 5 gold coins.

Ryan held these five gold coins firmly in his hand, and felt happy. This was his first real income. It was almost equivalent to his father's three months of hard hunting. This mercenary earns money. It's so fast.Ryan decided to use the money to buy some gifts for relatives and friends in his hometown after he arrived in the imperial capital.

After Ryan walked out of the mercenary guild, it was already very dark outside.Takri Town seemed deserted at night, and almost no one was walking on the street. Ryan found the small hotel where he stayed last time according to his memory.After enjoying the same meal again, Ryan was content to book a room and rest early.

The next day, after eating breakfast, Ryan went to the Mercenary Guild in Takri Town.

This time Ryan paid attention when looking for the task, and would not answer those who said too vague.Originally, Ryan didn't like the task of running errands, but now he is picky. The result is that after spending half a day reading all the tasks over and over several times, he didn't find a task that suits his mind.

At noon, Ryan felt hungry alone and was about to go out to get something to eat, but unexpectedly found that there was a rest area in the mercenary guild. If he wanted to, he could also spend some money to buy a glass of wine or simple food.This is usually for the mercenaries who stay in the mercenary guild all day waiting for their mission.

Ryan sat at the table, eating toast.He reviewed his picky behavior: "After all, there are only more than 10,000 residents in Takri Town, and there are no large villages nearby. What missions can be too satisfying for him? After all, I am a mercenary for Accumulate experience and find partners. When you do a few more tasks, you will leave for Elfa, which is the seventh largest city in the empire. There will be more people and more things. There will be tasks that will keep you busy. ."

Thinking of this, Ryan drank a sip of juice, and he secretly made up his mind to go and follow the task of capturing the juvenile monster he saw in the morning after lunch.Although the white-feathered parrot offering a reward is so easy to find from time to time, it is always rewarding to go to the depths of the Hengduan Mountains to go around.This kind of reward task can usually be accepted by multiple people at the same time. If someone fails to complete it, there will be no penalty. Moreover, the merchant has also made it clear that you pay according to the amount, a white feather parrot 1 gold coin, the more the better.

At this moment, a middle-aged man in his forties walked into the mercenary guild. After he entered the door, he habitually scanned the hall of the mercenary guild with his eyes.At this time, apart from a few staff members of the Mercenary Guild, only Ryan was eating lunch.The middle-aged man's eyes fell on Ryan, and he seemed to be curious about young Ryan.

Ryan, who lowered his head to eat the toast, felt the middle-aged man's gaze, and raised his head to look over.He saw the middle-aged man wearing a black bowler hat on his head and a merchant dress made of white linen clothes on his upper body. A badge was hung on his chest. There seemed to be a more complicated emblem on the lower body of the merchant. It is black linen pants.

From the merchant's entire outfit, Ryan knew that he was a purchasing merchant from a chamber of commerce in a big city far away.Because local businessmen would never wear formal wear in such hot weather. Only those well-trained merchants from the Chamber of Commerce would wear such dresses for the sake of image.However, Ryan himself had not studied badge science, and could not identify the content of the badge logo on the businessman's chest, and there was no way to guess the identity of the businessman.

The two looked at each other, and the merchant closed his eyes and walked to the place where the Mercenary Guild issued the mission.

The staff of the Mercenary Guild received the businessman and asked him if he needed help.

The middle-aged businessman simply said that he had purchased goods in Takri Town and was about to leave.Hope to hire a mercenary group of more than five people to escort him.

However, the staff told him that Takri could not find a mercenary group with more than five members at present, and asked him if he would release a mission to wait for the mercenary group to arrive.

The middle-aged businessman is obviously unwilling to wait. He would rather increase the commission for the task a little bit. However, Takri Town does not have a mercenary group that meets his requirements. This result disappointed the middle-aged businessman. He shook his head and rejected the staff. Proposal.

The staff also suggested that businessmen hire people to protect themselves.

The businessman thought about it and felt that separate hiring was also very troublesome, and something really happened. The mercenaries who gathered together temporarily did not have the slightest cooperation between them, fearing that it would make things worse, so they rejected the staff’s proposal .

The staff spread their hands and said that they had no choice.

The middle-aged businessman thought for a while, although he didn't report any hope, he asked again: "Is there a magician? I can pay a high price."

The staff remembered the mission completion certificate issued by the mayor of Anceno Village last night, which Ryan gave him. It clearly stated that it was a great magician who saved Anceno and a bunch of praises to the god of light. Nonsense.Although the staff did not believe in the words of Chief Anceno, Ryan should have some magic skills, so he pointed Ryan to the middle-aged businessman and said, "Are you looking for a magician, he is."

The middle-aged businessman looked at the staff’s fingers, only to find the young man he saw as soon as he walked in. He half-trusted him and said, "That's him? Isn't this too young?"

The staff heard the suspicion in the middle-aged businessman’s tone. He shrugged his shoulders and said, “I didn’t lie to you. This young man completed a mission yesterday and killed 27 winter wolves alone. This is proof of mission completion. It clearly says that he is a magician."

The middle-aged businessman was taken aback when he heard what the staff said, and was able to hunt 27 winter wolves alone, which was at least the level of a junior wizard.He thought for a while and decided to communicate with Ryan first.

When Ryan heard the words "magic", he looked up at the middle-aged businessman.Seeing the middle-aged businessman walking towards him with a suspicion on his face, Ryan greeted him generously and said, "Sir, what can I do for you?"

The middle-aged businessman sat beside Ryan and said, "Hello, I am a businessman and my name is Flanner. Can I have a conversation with you?"

Ryan said to Flanner: "You can call me Ryan, don't use your respectable name, I'm much younger than you."

Flanner said, "Hehe, Ryan, I have always respected magicians. I heard from the staff that you once hunted 27 winter wolves alone. Is that right?"

"Yes" Ryan nodded in affirmation.

"I'm very curious" Flanner asked, "The 27 winter wolves are not so easy to deal with. What kind of magic did you use?"

Lane said: "Fireball."

"Fireball? That's level 3 magic!" Flanner shouted in surprise: "Oh my God, it's incredible."

Ryan misunderstood Flaner’s meaning and thought Flaner felt that fireball was not enough to destroy the Winter Wolf. He added: “My teacher once said:'A qualified magician does not depend on how powerful he is, but It's to see if he can use his power cleverly. The 27 winter wolves do sound like a lot, and I once had a headache to think of a way to eliminate it, but I seized the right opportunity. Therefore, I succeeded. Up."

Flanner also misunderstood Ryan's words. He originally thought Ryan was just an ordinary magic apprentice, who had learned a little magic knowledge.But in the conversation with Ryan, Flanner felt that Ryan was approachable, polite, and should be well-educated, unlike many magicians who are arrogant to people and even unwilling to ignore others.And from Ryan's words, Flanner heard that Ryan seemed to be a disciple of a certain master, who had come out to practice.Generally, during this kind of experience, disciples are strictly forbidden to say the name of the teacher to avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble.

For this reason, Flanner did not ask about Ryan again. He now has confidence in Ryan. A trial apprentice of a master of magic, with at least level three magic skills, should be enough to protect his goods, right?

Flanner sent an invitation to Ryan and said, "Ryan, I am going to take my goods to Elfa City. Can I invite you to travel with you?"

Ryan knew that although Flanner said he was very polite, he actually hired himself to protect him.Ryan thought that he was planning to go to Elfa City in a few days anyway, so it would be better to take this opportunity and get an extra commission.

Ryan’s hesitation allowed Flanner to confirm his thoughts. It seemed that he really had his own trial mission and was unwilling to help himself. However, Flanner found a magician so easily, of course he would not give up easily. He continued to add weights, hoping to move the balance in Ryan's heart, "50 gold coins, Ryan. I will be responsible for some of the expenses on the road, how about it? Think about it."

Hearing 50 gold coins, Ryan's brain suddenly went silly. Oh my God, this is too surprising.He pinched his thigh quietly, um, it hurts, not dreaming.Ryan nodded quickly and said, "Flanner, your enthusiasm makes me unable to refuse. I agree."

Hearing Ryan's consent, Flanner was very happy and called the staff to complete the relevant procedures.As long as it can safely reach the city of Elfa, the fifty golden coins belong to Lane.

After waiting for everything to be completed, Ryan followed Flanner out of the Mercenary Guild.Flanner's carriage stopped outside, and a coachman was dozing off in the driving position.This kind of carriage is a bit longer than the ordinary carriage. The front of the ordinary carriage is the driving position, and the rear is the cargo compartment.But this car immediately had an extra cabin between the driving and the cargo compartment, barely allowing two people to sit in it.Of course, the lengthened carriage becomes more cumbersome with ears, so two horses are pulling the carriage instead of an ordinary horse.

Flanner awoke the coachman and motioned for him to set off.Then invited Ryan and himself to sit in the cabin to rest.

The carriage quickly drove out of Takri Town and ran towards the city of Elfa.

In order to make the connection between the city and the city closer, the empire spent a lot of effort to build roads.A long time ago, it took ten days to walk from Elfa City to Takri Town, but after building a post road for two carriages to walk side by side, the time on the road was greatly reduced. The carriage arrived in only 4 days.

Flanner’s carriage ran happily on the post road. This was Ryan’s first ride in a carriage. He looked out the window of the car and saw the two rows of big trees on the post road rushing backwards. Surprised.Ryan had never seen the scenery along the way. While chatting with Flanner without a word, he admired the scenery along the way with relish.

Flanner told Ryan about the interesting things he had encountered in business and purchasing for many years, and the relationship between the two was closer. Ryan also told Flanner about his coming out to participate in the trial.Flanner knew that on the continent of Islar, there would often be disciples of master magicians who were ordered to conduct trials, and the content of trials was also strange.For him, having a good relationship with a proud disciple of a certain magic master has countless benefits for himself and the chamber of commerce he belongs to.

During the conversation, Ryan learned that Flanner is the largest chamber of commerce in the empire, a general procurement merchant under the Doroc Business Alliance headquartered in Jegnas, who is responsible for the procurement of materials in various regions of the southwestern empire.This time, a batch of beast furs and magic cores were purchased in and around Takri, ready to be shipped to Elfa City.There is a branch of the Doroc Business Alliance in the southwestern part of the empire in the city of Elfa, and there are dedicated personnel responsible for centrally transporting the materials purchased from various places to the city of Jagnath.

It's a pity that Ryan lacks adventure experience. He didn't realize the flaw in Flanner's words: Since he is purchasing magic cores and furs, why not wait until the upcoming Victory Day celebration, but rush back in a hurry?Moreover, the carriage is not too big, even if it is full of ordinary fur and magic cores, it will not be too much, and there is no need to hire a mercenary group with more than five people.What's more, please ask Ryan to escort him for nearly three times the price.50 gold coins, maybe he did not spend so much money on the goods he purchased.

After two days of walking peacefully, Flanner has been warmly entertaining Ryan, which makes Ryan very useful, and even feels that he is not like a mercenary, completing the task of escorting a businessman, but has been with a man for many years. My old friend came out to enjoy the mountains and water.Ryan felt embarrassed in his heart, and he thought to himself that if he arrived at Alfa on the road safely, he would definitely not cost as much as 50 gold coins. I'm so sorry to Flanner.

On the third day of the journey, Ryan and Flanner sat in the carriage as usual and chatted. This time their topic was a counterinsurgency battle that took place in Moree not long ago.

About half a month ago, the lord of Moree City, Earl Senat, suddenly gathered an army to rebel.Located in the southeastern part of the empire, Mori City is a must pass through the imperial capital, the largest commercial city of the empire, and the largest port city of Sea Breeze.If Seneite's rebellion cannot be quickly quelled, the imperial capital will be cut off from the southern part of the empire.

In order to quickly quell the rebellion, the commander of the Imperial Royal Knights and the highest military leader in the capital, General Orlando led five thousand royal knights to Mori City and fought a fierce battle with 30,000 rebels outside Mori City.After a fierce battle, the Holy Knights defeated Senat's army and quelled the rebellion.

Ryan admired Flanner's sources. He was still near Takri half a month ago, right?He knew so clearly about the rebellion that took place in the far east. He deserved to be a businessman from the Doroc Business Alliance, the largest chamber of commerce in the empire. The source of the information was so good that he couldn't help but praise Flanner a few words, but he had no idea. Flanner's face changed.

Flanner realized that he had made a mistake, and quickly talked to Ryan about the prosperous city of Jagnath and covered up the matter.

At this moment, the Mercedes-Benz carriage stopped suddenly, and Ryan and Flanner's bodies fell forward involuntarily. Ryan reacted quickly, and quickly supported the wall of the carriage with his hands, and pulled Flanner easily. Avoiding Flanner's nose and car wall for an intimate relief.

After Flanner sat down, an angry expression floated on his face. He angrily said to the coachman: "Stupid guy, how do you drive the carriage?"

A trembling voice of the coachman came from outside: "Big... Your lord, there are thieves."
