Chronicles of Ryan the Wizard

Chapter 7 The Pride of the Lion King

Flanner’s voice spread far in the quiet night. His words gave Ryan a glimmer of understanding. When Ryan figured out all this, he suddenly felt empowered in his heart. He said loudly to himself : "Since you think you are doing the right thing, there is nothing to be confused about."

Flanner had a panoramic view of Ryan's entire changes and saw Ryan's whole being relaxed. Knowing that he had eliminated the demons, he was also very happy for him.

Ryan had no burden in his heart, and suddenly felt a trace of exhaustion. After all, there was a fierce battle during the day, and his mental and physical strength were exhausted. He stood up and said, "Thank you, Flanner, I figured it out. "

Flanner saw that Ryan was about to go back to rest. He hesitated and decided to tell Ryan the truth. He was a little embarrassed and said, "Ryan, that, there is something, there is something I want to tell you."

Ryan heard Flanner's stammering tone and couldn't help asking: "What's the matter? Can't you say it tomorrow morning?"

Flanner said, "Ryan, I didn't tell the truth at first. There is actually one more expensive item in the goods I shipped this time..."

Ryan smiled and said, "Flanner, I was inspired by what the thief said today. I guess you must have some precious goods. That's why it is necessary to hire a mercenary group with more than five people in Takri Town. Will give me more than twice the commission to hire me. But it doesn’t matter what kind of goods you ship."

"It's okay?" Flanner repeated Ryan's words in confusion.

"Yes." Ryan said very positively: "Anyway, I will come to Alfa. This time I will walk with your friend on the road. Not only do I eat for nothing, but I also have 50 gold coins. Thing."

Flanner saw that Ryan didn’t care about certain things he had concealed, and put a big rock in his heart. If Ryan was upset about it, his efforts would be wasted these days and he would bring one to the Chamber of Commerce. Potential enemy.

This time, the result was better than what I had imagined. I paid twice the price, which made Ryan leave a very good impression of himself and regarded himself as a friend.Flanner has been in business for many years and knows that a good impression will help him to make further contact with each other more easily.The chairman of the Dolock Business Alliance, Wayne Gass, who is known as a business genius, once said: "A good start is half the battle." He and Ryan have also experienced a danger together, and can be with a future magician. Taking an adventure together, this kind of experience is rarely seen in the entire continent of Islar, and I believe that everything I do will be rewarded sometime in the future.

After an unforgettable adventure, Flanner and Ryan have a more harmonious relationship.

On the last day of the journey, Flanner enthusiastically invited Ryan to visit his home in Jegnas City, and suggested Ryan go to the Magic Guild in Elfa to assess the level of wizards, and gave a vague reminder in words Ryan should not expose his strength too much in front of others.No matter who it is, how can he not be surprised when he sees that Ryan can silently send five elements of magic, and even some magic has already achieved smooth hair?Especially when Ryan is preparing to participate in the Royal Athletic Tournament, his opponent will use all means to find Ryan's information, understand and master Ryan's strength in order to be able to make targeted preparations.Therefore, it is best to hide your strength as much as possible before the game.

Assuming that Ryan's opponent knows Ryan's strength, he will deal with his shortcomings.If Ryan can hide part of his strength, he can save his life at a critical time.For example, when a thief who didn't know that Ryan would use Stoneskin in a sneak attack on Ryan, he desperately found that he was completely blocked by a thick stone skin. I believe his face would be very wonderful.But if the thief knew about Ryan's strength, maybe he would use a military crossbow to sneak attack from a distance.

Ryan is very grateful to Flanner for reminding him that he does not have much experience in this area.And Ryan is very interested in rating magician levels. He thinks that having a magician title should make it a better choice for teammates. After all, for mercenaries who venture outside, everyone hopes that their companions are as strong as possible. , Ready to go after completing this mission.

Of course, Flanner didn't ask too much about the martial arts that Ryan once revealed, after all, everyone has their own life-saving skills.So Ryan certainly didn't bother to explain.

When the sun was shining and the sky was full of sunset clouds, the carriage drove into the city of Elfa.

The carriage driver seemed to be very familiar with the city of Elfa, and before Flanner could speak, he traversed most of the city and parked the carriage outside the door of a luxury hotel.

Ryan was watching Alfa's scenery with gusto, and suddenly he felt the carriage stop, and he opened and jumped down.

The doorman wearing red and blue clothes at the entrance of the luxury hotel had long been greeted, and seeing Ryan who had jumped down, his face turned into a flower, and respectfully said: "Dear Sir, what can I do for you? Is it for you?"

Ryan had no experience in this area, he was hesitating not knowing what to say, and Flanner got out of the carriage.

Seeing Flanner's figure, the doorman's smile became brighter, and he quickly said: "It turns out to be a distinguished guest of Flanner, hurry, hurry, please inside!"

Flanner looked complacent and took Ryan's hand and strode into the luxury hotel.Ryan hadn't seen this kind of scene, but he had secretly decided to push Flanner no matter what happened.He looked up at the sign hanging at the entrance of the hotel, which was carved with a lifelike golden lion.It should be the name of this hotel, right?

Flanner took Ryan as he walked, and said to the doorman who was following him: "The old rule is to prepare two of the best aristocratic single rooms together. Besides, we are all hungry. Let us prepare a table for dinner. ."

After finishing speaking, he directly took Ryan to a luxuriously decorated elegant room.

The efficiency of the luxury hotel is very high. I saw a few young and beautiful female agents coming in and out, and soon a sumptuous dinner was set in front of Flanner and Ryan.Flanner waved his hand, indicating that he did not need to be obeyed, and the two female corpses standing behind quietly walked out.

Seeing that only himself and Ryan were left in the entire elegant room, Flanner explained with a smile: "This hotel is called'The Pride of the Lion King.' 20 years ago, the head of the Royal Knights, Orlando, participated in the Royal Tournament. He once lived, and later he became a champion and was appointed by His Majesty the King as the deputy head of the Royal Knights. Because the Royal Knights uses the golden lion as its emblem, isn’t his head a brave lion king? ? Because the hotel was renamed the Lion King's Pride!"

Ryan had heard of this kind of story for the first time. He scanned the entire private room and saw that the spears and swords used by the knights hanging on the wall were all shining golden, and the tables and chairs were also carved with precious Wangtian wood. .In addition, there are exquisite decorations everywhere, and he nodded and said, "I think the layout here is very luxurious. I don't know much about those weapons, but I have seen the Wangtianmu used for this table and chair. It seems to be produced only in the depths of the Hengduan Mountains."

"Yes." Flanner nodded. He was a little surprised at Ryan's profound knowledge. He said, "I didn't expect Ryan that you actually know Wang Tianmu?"

Ryan nodded and said, "Once, Master and I went into the depths of the Hengduan Mountains, where there was a place full of tall trees. Master said that these trees are trying to grow up in order to compete for the sun. Therefore, They are all very tall. I stand on the ground and look up. These trees seem to be thrust into the sky. If you stand on it, you can see the gods in the sky. I believe this is where its name comes from."

Flanner misunderstood Ryan's meaning and thought that the magic master had taken his disciple Ryan into the Hengduan Mountains, but he did not expect Ryan to go with his teacher, but he was the teacher Jialib who taught his martial arts.

The two talked while enjoying a delicious meal.The "Lion King's Pride" brand is not something ordinary people can play, and naturally has its uniqueness.Ryan, who had eaten this meal, was excited and sighed again and again. It would be fine if he came out earlier, so that he could eat such a delicious meal earlier.

After dinner, Ryan and Flanner returned to their rooms under the guidance of the waiter.Ryan was lying on the bed, looking at the luxurious decorations in the room. Some did not believe that he could live in such a room, but Ryan, a magician, had trained his mind control with Teacher Delaney, and soon he got rid of his cranky thinking. , Entered a deep dream.

I slept until the next day when the sun rose above my head.Ryan sat on the bed and couldn't help but shook his head. It seemed that he was not used to this luxurious enjoyment. For many years, he woke up before dawn, and then ran around the town for twenty with a bundle of birch. Circle, almost every time you have to wait until you finish running, the sun has just come out!I thought that although I hadn't been out for a few days, many of my usual habits have changed. I don't know if this is good or bad.

While Ryan was reviewing himself, Flanner's voice came from outside: "Ryan, have you gotten up?"

Ryan heard Flanner calling himself, jumped from the bed, jumped to the ground, he quickly got dressed, and opened the door.

Flanner was already standing outside neatly dressed. His polite manner was because he got the place when he was held by the scar face and was stepped heavily on his feet. He has lost it, and now he wears a new hat and all clothes on his body. Replaced with new ones.

Flanner saw Ryan come out and smiled and said to him, "Did you sleep well last night?"

Ryan shook his head and said, "I just slept so well, I'm not used to it at all."

Flanner laughed and said, "Slowly get used to it. Let's go and have breakfast."

Ryan followed Flanner to the restaurant.Still in the private room last night, Ryan and Flanner enjoyed their breakfast together.

After breakfast, Flanner proposed to go to the mercenary guild to clear the task rewards, and Ryan agreed.

On the carriage, seeing Flanner's relaxed face, without the anxiety and uneasiness hidden under his usual smile, Ryan was a little strange, so he asked why.

Flanner said with a smile: "It was done yesterday. I have already delivered the goods. I am now all light and light, of course it is easy."

Ryan thought for a while, but he didn't remember when Flanner had handed over with someone else, feeling very strange in his heart.Flanner guessed what Ryan was thinking. He smiled and said, "In fact, the pride of the Lion King is the property of our Dolock Chamber of Commerce. And that thing is not very big, and a storage pocket can hold it."

Hearing Flanner's explanation, Ryan suddenly realized.No wonder Flanner entered the Pride of the Lion King yesterday as if he had returned to his own home. It turned out to be so.Since you are back home, you can deliver the goods anytime.

Soon, the carriage came to the door of the Mercenary Guild in Alpha City.Flanner and Ryan got out of the wagon one after another.

Ryan raised his head and looked carefully at the huge building with this spire: The entire building is made of boulders and is very strong. Ryan even felt the presence of trace elements of earth from the boulder, and believed that the earth magic was added during the construction. ; The building is as high as ten people, and some parts of the exterior have been damaged, full of the vicissitudes of the world. On a thick looking sky wood at the entrance of the building, the sign of the Mercenary Guild with swords and wands hangs.No matter the choice of materials or the exquisite workmanship, the one in Takri Town could not be compared with it; Ryan walked to the ground paved with slap-sized gravel, which should be cleaned frequently by people, and it looked very clean.And Ryan discovered that these palm-sized gravels were not laid randomly. He could clearly see a sharp sword and a magic wand crossed together. Obviously, the designer had spent a lot of effort; most importantly Yes, in this short moment from stepping out of the carriage to walking towards the gate of the Mercenary Guild, more than three groups of adventurers have already walked out of it and passed by.The number of these three groups of adventurers exceeds 20, which is already the total number of the Mercenary Guild in Takri Town in one day.

Ryan followed Flanner into the Mercenary Guild.The wide hall made Ryan's eyes shine brightly. Looking ahead, the whole hall was clean and there were basically no decorations. However, in Ryan's heart, it made people feel calmer than the decoration of the lion king, wearing a variety of styles. Adventurers in different clothes shuttled in the hall, busy with their own affairs.Seeing someone coming in, countless pairs of eyes looked at Flanner and Ryan.Flanner seemed to experience such scenes often, he didn't care, and took Ryan directly to the mercenary task desk located in the corner of the hall.

In front of the mercenary task desk was a beautiful lady, about 30 years old, wearing uniform blue and white work clothes. Seeing Flanner and Ryan, she greeted them very enthusiastically and said, "Two Good noon, my name is Lucy, what can I do for you?".

Flanner carefully explained to Lucy the situation of his release of the escort mission in Takri Town, and said that the mercenaries around him had completed the mission, which made him very satisfied, and now it is time to settle.Lucy performed the operation skillfully, and soon, Flanner went through the relevant procedures, and Ryan also took a small bag of Shen Diandian's gold coins from her.

Ryan suddenly took so many gold coins, and felt a little embarrassed, hoping that Flanner could get some back.Flanner smiled and said, "Ryan, the gold coins can be counted clearly, but my life can't be measured by gold coins. Take it, you deserve it." Ryan felt that Flanner said. There was some truth, so I accepted the gold coin.

After everything is done, Ryan is going to stroll around in Alfa. After all, it’s the first time for him to come to this large city with a population of more than 1 million. In addition, Ryan is also planning to find a blacksmith shop to collect all his “collections” a few days ago. The trophies from "scrape" are sold.Just when he was about to turn around and leave, unexpectedly, his ears spotted a reward notice next to Lucy.

The sign that attracted Ryan's attention was drawn with a person with a long scar on his face. The scar was drawn from the center of his brow to the bottom of his right ear. This feature was exactly the same as the thief he killed the other day.

When Flanner saw Ryan staring at Lucy suddenly, he thought Ryan thought someone looked pretty. Just about to make fun of him, Ryan suddenly said: "Flanner, look! Is the thief offering a reward for the above picture? Is it exactly the same as the scar face we encountered the day before yesterday?"

Flanner followed Ryan's gaze and saw a familiar face as expected.He asked Lucy quickly.

Lucy said to Flanner and Ryan: "No one knows what this guy's name is, only the nickname is "Scar". In recent years, he has robbed passing travelers on the necessary routes outside of Alfa. , And cruel, killing people every time they robbed it. This task was issued by the garrison officer of the city of Elfa. They found a small memory crystal on the corpse at the robbery scene and knew who did it."

Ryan said to Lucy: "I met him on the road with Flanner a few days ago, but he has been killed by me."

"What?" Lucy was shocked when she heard what Ryan said, and shouted out loud, immediately attracted the attention of a group of mercenaries around.Lucy said incredulously, "You said you killed the scar, what evidence do you have?"

Ryan quickly took out the long sword and 3 daggers that Scarface had used from his storage pocket, and placed them on the wooden planks of the counter. A group of mercenaries immediately surrounded him.Lucy picked up a dagger half-believingly and examined it carefully, but she hadn't seen the "scar", didn't know more information, and couldn't tell.

At this moment, a voice from the outside sounded: "Let me in." A burly mercenary pushed everyone away and squeezed to Ryan's side. He saw the dagger placed on the wooden board of the counter. He looked at him for a moment. He immediately rushed forward, grabbed one, checked it carefully, and said excitedly: "Yes, this is the commonly used dagger for Scar. "After that, he took out the dagger exactly like this one from his arms and put it on the counter with a trembling hand.
