Chronicles of Ryan the Wizard

After Azim had gone far away, Ryan walked to the door of the tent lightly, opened the door, and walked in.

Mayor Zhelile stood with his hands on his hips and his back to the door. His body was trembling slightly, and he was panting heavily.Hearing that the door was opened again, he didn't look back, and said coldly: "What are you back for?"

Lane said: "Mayor Zheli Le, it's me, Lane."

Mayor Zhelile was shocked and turned his head quickly and said, "Why are you? How long have you been here?"

Ryan didn't intend to let others know that he had eavesdropped. He deliberately said: "I just arrived. Am I surprised to see Azim go angrily?"

Mayor Zhelile listened to Ryan's words, and his heart relaxed a lot. He called Ryan to sit down and asked about Ryan's coming.

Ryan said: "Mayor Zheli Le, my companion and I are here this time mainly for the reward mission you posted. We plan to learn more..."

Mayor Zelliler waved his hand and interrupted Ryan. He said, "Honorable Mage, I know your intentions, but I don't think you can help much."

Ryan smiled and said: "One more person, one more strength."

Mayor Zheli Le said: "Even if there are hundreds of edelweiss, it will not be able to shake the sole of the dragon's foot."

Ryan shrugged his shoulders: "Whatever you do is better than nothing. As long as there is careful planning and strong execution, perhaps the edelweiss will defeat the dragon one day. But if this group of edelweiss has nothing Doing it will only become a delicious meal for the dragon one by one."

Zheli Le listened to Ryan's words and fell into deep thought.Ryan knew that Zhe Lile was hesitating, and he did not speak, but looked at Zhe Lile silently.

After a long time, Mayor Zheli Le said: "Ryan, you are still young. If I were you, I would walk away from my companions. Without life, even careful planning would be meaningless."

Ryan saw that Mayor Zhelile could say such things, and knew that Mayor Zhelile still had no confidence in himself. He thought for a while and said to Mayor Zhelile: "I know that you have no confidence in me in your heart, and I do I don’t want to say anything. It’s just that since I have taken the task of eliminating thieves, I will definitely stay and try my best to do it well. Even if there is a great danger, it’s just what I have to pay before harvesting. ."

Mayor Zhelile thought that Ryan was only staying for the bounty. He took out a purse and gently put it on the table, saying, "You are still young, and many things are not clear. Among a group of edelweiss, it’s not All people will have a heart with you. Maybe you have come today and some people have already known. I have 50 gold coins here. Take it. As the task publisher, I think you have done your best. , You can get rewards."

Ryan shook his head. He was actually very uncomfortable with this pun-like way of speaking. He directly pointed out and said, "For example, Azim?"

Mayor Zhelile took a deep look at Ryan and said, "How much do you know?"

Ryan shrugged his shoulders again. He found that he had done this action more frequently recently. He sorted out his thoughts and said, "I don't understand. 20 thieves actually make a 1,000-person town like a big enemy. The mayor of this town is in a dilemma, even considering reconciliation with thieves?"

After listening to Ryan's words, Zhelile's face changed. He knew in his heart Ryan had heard the quarrel between him and Azim. He opened his mouth to explain something, but after thinking about it, he said: "Alpha City Defense Officer I have said this before, but he is now back in a desperate manner. I guess if it weren't for his role as a defender, he might not be able to go back."

Ryan asked, "Didn't it mean that after the garrison came, after a period of stationing, he didn't find the thief and went back?"

Zhelile smiled contemptuously and said, "Just the piggy pig who is fatter than me? He came here either for gold coins or for women. My people found the thief, and he was drunk and took people with him. At night, he was stripped naked and left at the gate of the town. I guess that gang of thieves were unwilling to make a big mess. After all, they killed the garrison in Elfa. It was very troublesome."

The first time Ryan heard this message, he silently calculated how incompetent the garrison officer would be. After all, with 50 soldiers, didn't Giethoorn send anyone to help?

Thinking of this, he asked Zheli Le: "50 soldiers can't beat 20 thieves? How about your people? Didn't you go?"

"My people!" Hearing Ryan's words, Zhelile suddenly thundered, and he shouted loudly: "I sent the 20 most capable people to follow the piggy, but what happened? One piggy. I plunged into the trap of thieves. After being caught alive, in order to save my life, I even deceived my men and let them all fall into the hands of thieves. Twenty people, all of them were cut off by these nasty thieves."

Ryan was also taken aback when he heard this. He didn't expect that the truth of the matter turned out to be like this. No wonder Zhe Lile didn't have much confidence in him.However, Ryan still has a question in his heart. He said: "Please forgive my gaffe, Mayor Zheli Le, but I am still very surprised. Even if I fail the first time, there are hundreds of young people in Giethoorn, and I can even ask Al Facheng asks for help again, can it be the case?"

Zhe Lile looked at Ryan’s sincere face and couldn’t help being in a daze. He replied, “Twenty young people, the youngest one is about the same as you. They are the future of our Giethoorn Town, so they are so incompetent. The piggy was ruined."

Speaking of this, Mayor Zhelile paused, and he seemed to see the vivid faces in front of him. He said in a low voice: "Our people in Giethoorn actually lived a nomadic life many years ago. With a strong horse and a strong bow, we are living by the water and grass on the South Taren prairie. Friends are here, there are fresh goat's milk, the beasts and orcs are here, and we have sharp arrows."

"200 years ago, the empire drove away the orcs, so that our ancestors no longer have to worry about the oppression of the orcs, and our people have a good life they dream of."

"Because there is no threat from the orcs, our ancestors no longer need to wander around to avoid the orcs, and slowly settle in the place with the most abundant water and plants, and live there for generations."

"Unfortunately, more than one hundred years of stable life has allowed us to slowly lose the sturdyness of our ancestors. Over the years, there have also been great hidden dangers in living together. After all, no matter how rich the aquatic plants are, there is a limit. There has been a substantial increase before, and we have gradually felt this situation, but we have become accustomed to this kind of life, and would rather go farther when grazing every day, and squeeze a bit more when staying at night, and do not want to give up here ."

"Since I became the mayor, I have always hoped to change this situation. I carefully selected a group of young and energetic herders. I hope that in a few years, I will use them as the main force and establish another settlement in other places. This way we slowly expand our settlements, so that our people have more living space. Unfortunately, most of them died in the hands of thieves this time."

Tears shed tears in Zhe Lile's eyes. He wiped it with his hand and continued: "Aqimu was originally my right-hand man, but then I slowly discovered that he is a very ambitious person and he is very aggressive in doing things. , Advocating abandoning the old and disabled tribesmen and only taking the young tribesmen to migrate. They can even plunder others like the orcs plundered our ancestors."

"For this matter, I had a fierce argument with him, and in the end we parted ways."

"After all these years, he also has a lot of power. I know he has done some things behind his back, but I didn't expect him to even reconcile the thieves in order to achieve his own goals. Ryan, you are still young and have too long. The way is to go. You don’t know, when this person like Azim did it, why bother to get caught up in the internal affairs of our people?"

Ryan was also shocked when he heard the words of Mayor Zeli Le. The mayor, who looked a little weak on the outside, was full of such vision, which impressed Ryan.But Ryan said firmly: "Mr. Mayor, since my companion and I have taken over this task, we will do our best to do it well. It's getting late, I'm going to rest, so please rest early."

Having said this, Ryan walked out of the mayor's tent without looking back.

Seeing Ryan walked out of his tent, the mayor changed his weak appearance and his eyes were full of violence.He whispered: "Aqimu, you want to fight with me. You think I don't know. You have increased the number of horses requested by the thieves by 50%. The extra part will not be taken by you. Take this opportunity to ride on my head? Huh! And this magician, his heart is too simple, I can't bear to say a few words casually? You fight slowly."

After coming out of the mayor's tent, Ryan strode to the small tent where he lived, opened the tent door, and walked in.

The tent was dark, and it seemed that Elendo had not returned yet.Ryan walked to the table and lit half of the candle on the table.

As soon as Ryan lighted the candle and turned around, a warning sign suddenly appeared in his heart. This feeling would only appear when he was stared at by fierce beasts!

With a thought to Ryan, a thick layer of stone skin has enveloped his body.

With a sound of "dang", a dagger stabbed Ryan's back and cut Ryan's clothes, but was blocked by the thick stone skin.

Ryan didn't even have time to turn his thoughts in his mind, and his body had already instinctively threw forward, avoiding the next attack of the assassin.

As he fell, Ryan's body twisted and turned around.He saw a man with black clothes and a black mask leaping towards him.
