Chronicles of Ryan the Wizard

Lane greeted Mayor Zhelile and said: "Hello, Mayor Zhelile, I am Lane, this is my companion. We have taken the thief elimination mission you released in Elfa City. "

After listening to Ryan's words, Zhelile looked at Ryan up and down, and then led Ryan and Allendo to the black tent.

The ground in the big black tent is covered with thick carpets. These carpets are woven from wool and seem to have been carefully embroidered with a certain pattern. However, it is clear that this carpet has been used for a long time and is unrecognizable. Show what pattern is embroidered on it.

The space in the black tent is really not small. Although the tent is divided into two parts with black wool blankets, the outside part alone is enough to stand thirty or forty people.It was in sharp contrast with the small gray tents outside.

Mayor Zheliler invited Ryan and Elendo to sit around a small table with him. His sturdy youths bowed their heads and stood respectfully behind them.

Soon, a young maid served three white drinks.

Ryan took a sip from the glass. He felt that the white drink was very sour and had a slight bashful taste, which he was not used to drinking at all.In order not to be rude, Ryan reluctantly swallowed the point he had drunk, and then gently placed the cup on the table.

Mayor Zheli Le saw Ryan's actions, smiled, and said: "This is the peculiar goat's milk on our prairie. It does have a different taste. It seems that the Honorable Mage doesn't like it."

Ryan explained: "Please call me Ryan. I haven't drunk it, I just feel sour."

Mayor Zheli Le laughed. He laughed and said: "Every new guest will not be used to this taste, unlike the people here, who drink it every day and have long been used to it."

After speaking, Zhe Lile motioned to the maid to bring two glasses of water and withdrew the goat's milk.

Ryan immediately picked up the water and took a big sip.

Mayor Zhelile looked at Ryan, smiled and slowly talked about the scenery on the prairie, the various customs of the herders, and even the celebration of Victory Day, as if the task of eliminating thieves was not released by him, and Giethoorn also I have never encountered a thief.

Ryan tried to bring the topic to the thieves several times, but was deliberately led away by Mayor Zhelile.

This way of talking made Ryan very uncomfortable. He took advantage of Zhelile's wooden cup to drink goat's milk and said straightforwardly: "Mayor Zhelile, we want to know some specific information about the thief in Yangjiao Town."

Mayor Zheli Le did not speak yet, but a loud business came from outside the tent: "Haha, the mayor has a visitor, how can I not come."

Before he could finish his words, a very sturdy man of about thirty years old left. He was wearing a white turban on his head and clothes made of gray wool on his body. There were four people behind him with a waist. The young man with a knife.

After the man wearing a white turban walked into the tent, he glanced at the three people present, his eyes fell directly on Ryan's chest, and he saw Ryan's magic apprentice badge.

The man wearing the white headscarf was startled slightly, and then smiled happily and said: "It turns out to be a Mr. Magician, disrespectful and disrespectful. My name is Achim, who has the most Talun sheep, the strongest war horse, and The toughest warrior, you might as well ask me if you have any questions."

Before Ryan could speak, Zhe Lile said irritably, "Azimu, Mr. Ryan and his friend are my guests. What are you doing here?"

Azim laughed loudly and said, “If I’m not mistaken, this Mr. Lane and his friends are here to help us eliminate thieves in Giethoorn. As a member of Giethoorn, I certainly have the responsibility to let The two respected Mage Magicians have learned the most detailed information."

Mayor Zhelile's expression changed, and he said loudly, "I am the mayor of Giethoorn. I will naturally tell the two guests if there is something to do. There is nothing for you here. You can do your own thing."

After hearing Zhe Lile's words, Azim's expression also changed, but he quickly recovered.

Azim looked at Zhe Lile with contempt, and said, "Yes, Lord Mayor. But I hope you think about it before you talk."

After speaking, Azim took the guard and left.

Mayor Zheli Le held the wooden cup full of goat milk in his hand, his hands trembling constantly, and his heart was extremely angry.Suddenly he put the wooden cup on the table and said to Ryan: "Honorable Mage, my body is a little unwell. Let's talk in detail tomorrow, please go to rest first." After finishing, Zheli Le did not wait for Ryan Talking to Ellendor, he stood up directly and walked into the tent separated by a black wool blanket.

The young man behind Zheli Le quickly walked to Ryan, led Ryan and Allendo out of the tent where the mayor lived, and sent them into another small gray tent dozens of steps away.

This small gray tent is different from the sky and the ground where the mayor Zellile lives. The space inside it is very small. It takes about five or six steps to hit the tent wall. The height is not good, but it can barely allow people to stand. Straighten the body.

There was no carpet in the entire tent, which directly exposed the ground that had been burned with fire.If you camp on the grassland for a long time, you will burn all the turf in the camping area with fire, exposing the bright ground so that you won’t feel wet.In the corner of the tent, there is a small table. Next to the table, there are two tattered woolen blankets, probably for people to sleep.

After the young man left, Ryan and Allendo took up the wool blanket and spread it underground. Then they sat side by side and talked in a low voice about what had just happened.

Allendo said, "Lane, you see, the situation here is very strange."

Ryan said: "Yes, Mayor Zhelile seems unwilling to talk about thieves, and the words of the man named Azim seem to have other meanings."

Allendo said: "I can feel that the man named Azim, he seems to be the key to the whole thing, you see, even Zhe Lile, the mayor, is very jealous of him."

Ryan sighed and said, "There are a lot of things in Giethoorn. There are thieves outside, but there seems to be discord inside."

Allendo said: "I think the most urgent thing is to talk to the mayor again to figure out the status quo. I think the mayor seems to have concerns when talking to us just now, so I don’t want to talk more. You see we haven’t talked for long. , Azim hurried over. If no one informs him, can he come so quickly?"

Ryan agreed and said, "Okay. I will go to the mayor again at night, and I will go quietly so that no one else will know."

Allendo said: "Well, then I will sneak out of town at night. My Wind Wolf is still outside. I let them watch Giethoorn. If anyone goes out, then I will follow."

Throughout the day, although there were people coming and going in Giethoorn, no one approached Ryan and Allendor's tents, as if they did not exist at all.

Finally, at night, Ryan and Ellendor moved separately. Ellendor took advantage of the night and sneaked out of Giethoorn. The single-person wooden wall could not stop Ellendor's footsteps.

Watching Allendo gently dig out the wooden wall of Giethoorn, Ryan tidied up his clothes and walked quietly to the black tent where the mayor lived.

As soon as Ryan walked outside the tent, he heard voices inside. He put his ear on the tent and carefully identified it.

There was a loud quarrel between two people. The mayor's voice looked a little hoarse, and it was Azim who quarreled with him.

Ryan moved in his heart and didn't walk in directly. Instead, he looked around and found that no one noticed him. He walked gently into the shadow behind the tent and listened carefully to the conversation inside the tent.

I only heard Azim say: "Enough, you coward. Fight, you say you are afraid that the town will lose too much; and, you think that the price of others is too high; send a reward task and wait for so many days. Two young apprentices of magic came here, what can they do?"

Zhe Lile's voice was a little hoarse. He said, "Aqimu, I am the mayor of Giethoorn. I naturally have my plans. I don't need you to tell me."

Azim said: "You old guy, Giethoorn is not yours alone. If you hesitate like this, they lose patience and just come in, then everything will be done. You don't care about you. I feel sorry for the four women and the large herd of Taren sheep."

Zhe Lile listened to Azim's words and said nothing.

Seeing the effect of his own words, Azim said proudly: "My people took a lot of effort to get in touch with them. You have also seen that although they always came some time ago, our losses have not Not big, just lost some sheep and horses. People are fine. Their requirements are actually not high when you think about it, but only 3,000 horses."

"3000 horses?" Zheli Le shouted loudly after hearing this number: "We have no more than 5000 horses in total. They are going to go most of them all at once, what shall we do in the future?"

Azim said: "You don’t deserve to be the mayor of Giethoorn, you know what is in front of you. If they do come in, it’s not a matter of horses, you will lose your life! No life, you What's the use of asking for those? Your four women will also fall into the arms of others..."

"Enough!" Zhe Lile interrupted Azim impatiently.

Azim ignored Zheli Le, and continued: "The garrison of Alfa has also been here, and your reward mission has been released. What is the effect? ​​Do you really think that the two children who have not all grown up? What use can it be? Should I tell you with facts? We have to rely on ourselves for everything. They have already given us the deadline. Tomorrow night, if you don't reply, then when the sun rises the day after tomorrow, they will come and get it by themselves. Think about it yourself."

The tent door was opened, and Azim strode out.
