Chronicles of Ryan the Wizard

From the third day on, the carriage left the wide road and turned into a winding road. The sides of the road immediately became deserted. There were no more carriages traveling along the way, and no merchants’ shops and residents were seen anymore. The house, the only thing that came into view were the more and more luxuriant trees, and the speed of the carriage slowed down and began to bump.

Ryan saw all these changes from the carriage window, and he casually asked Viscount Bruno: "Is your territory remote?" Viscount Bruno rolled his eyes, and said with a mocking tone: " If it’s on the busiest street in Liberty Paradise, why would I hire you?” This reply made Ryan's face reddened and speechless, and it also made Flanner amused in secret, but Ryan, who seemed to lose face, did not take it. It was at heart, still looking at the scenery outside the window.

Outside the window, as the carriage deepened, I looked up, and the roads were completely clear of people on both sides of the road. Even the occasional voices in the distance disappeared without a trace. Ryan could only see the tall trees. .These trees are vying to grow towards the sky, and then try their best to spread the branches and leaves, so as to absorb the sun to the maximum.The sunlight in the southern spring barely penetrated through the gaps between the leaves, and speckled on the bumpy ground.

Sitting in the slowly moving carriage, Ryan felt the distress of the ups and downs. This is a small road that few people walk. The road is winding to the depths of the woods, and its road is narrow enough to allow only one car. The carriage was moving, and it was not smooth. The carriage slowly bumped along the road, and the people in the carriage continued to sway along with it, as if sitting on a ship in a storm.

This feeling lasted for more than a long time. When the woods became denser and the sunlight shining through the leaves became dim, the slowly moving carriage stopped suddenly, and the sound of the carriage wheels was silent. It spread far in the woods.

Ryan's first feeling was that he was in the place, but he looked out the window and didn't find any houses nearby. At first glance, it was the lush trees. According to reason, a hereditary viscountry fief, how could it be There are a lot of buildings, but the neighborhood doesn't look like people are inhabited at all. It shouldn't be there yet. How did you stop the carriage?

"Sir, the road is blocked." The helpless voice of the driver came.

This is not good news. In the dark, inaccessible woods, the only way is blocked by people. This is the standard beginning of many stories when those hapless guys are robbed by thieves.

Ryan stepped out of the carriage vigilantly. He walked a few steps to the front of the carriage. About twenty meters in front of the carriage, two huge trees intersected and blocked the carriage’s path. These two trees and the surrounding trees It's the same, but the branches on the trees are a bit yellowish, definitely not just brought down.

Ryan looked at the surrounding environment, and felt a little puzzled. If a thief had really planned to cut down the trees and waited here, there is no reason why the branches of these trees will be yellow. This situation can only explain the two trees. Have been lying here for more than ten days.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps came from behind Ryan. Ryan didn't need to turn his head to hear that it was from his friend Elendo, and the heavy voice behind Elendo must be Flanner.

"There are people in the woods. One is thirty meters ahead of our left, and one is fifty meters behind us." Alando's faint voice came from Ryan's ear. It was very small, even standing Flanner, who was not far from them, didn't hear it either.This is the advantage of being druids. They are known as the darlings of nature. In such a natural environment, it is easy to detect places that are incompatible with the harmonious nature, such as thieves hiding deep in the jungle.

Ryan nodded slightly. It seemed that there was a thief waiting here. He wouldn't look at the thief's hiding place right away. That was the first time a rookie came out.After going through so many adventures, Ryan has a lot of experience, and he has gradually learned to be quiet.

In order to prevent the thief who was hiding in the dark from realizing that he had spotted them, Ryan focused his gaze on the place where they should be placed most at this time. On the two trees in front of him, he thought to himself: "They really have Patience, look at the spots on these two trees..."

"Wait!" Ryan looked at the two trees blocking the way. Even though they looked at more than ten meters away from him, Ryan with keen eyes still clearly saw two long scratches on them.Although many places of these two scratches were covered by spot bacteria, they were too long, and they were still seen by careful Ryan.Ryan is not sure what caused them, but Ryan can be sure that such scratches are definitely not naturally formed.

Ryan's heart moved, he felt as if he had grasped something very important, but for a while, Ryan didn't know what he had caught. This feeling made Ryan very uncomfortable.However, at this moment, Ryan's nose smelled of blood floating in the air.

The air here is off the beaten path. It stands to reason that the air should be fresh. It has been raining recently, and even if there is any blood, it has been washed away, but maybe there is too much blood flowing here, so even after so long, in the air here, There was still a faint smell of blood drifting away.

This bloody smell is so faint, if ordinary people would not smell it, but Ryan had a special experience in the tomb of an ancient king. He followed the immortal King Alexander to the never-ending blood pool secret room. Although he was vomiting a mess at the time, this unforgettable experience also made Ryan particularly sensitive to the smell of blood.

There was a glimmer of understanding in Ryan's heart. He finally had what his uncomfortable feeling was. The slaughter, an unexpected but sudden slaughter: first blocked the road with trees, and then waited for people passing by to move. They suddenly got into trouble, but what caused those scratches?Weapons such as general long swords do not have such traces, but weapons such as giant axes leave much deeper traces. Could it be... magic?

Thinking of this, Ryan’s eyes lit up. He turned to look at Viscount Bruno, who was getting off the carriage. All the impressions of this hereditary viscount in the past few days have flowed in his mind like water, and finally fixed on the root. On the waving cane, although it is a bit short, there are many patterns carved on the cane. It may be an ordinary tool commonly used by nobles, but it may not have other hidden uses, such as magic staff’s staff. .

Viscount Bruno got out of the carriage lazily, frowning and reprimanding Harrisi: "What's the matter? Don't hurry up and push the things in the way!"

Harishi nodded and bowed and agreed, and then shouted at the two carriage drivers: "Didn't you hear what my master said? You guys don't hurry over." After saying this, Harishi said to Ryan again: "You too Come and help, the two of them can't move."

Ryan walked forward a few steps calmly. Since he began to doubt Viscount Bruno, he was naturally also cautious about the carriage driver he hired.Seeing the two coachmen walking towards him, Ryan suddenly asked nonchalantly: "You had a good harvest last time?"

"Of course..." Harrisi said casually, then immediately turned pale and closed his mouth.

Ellendor lightly pulled Flanner and stood in front of the middle-aged businessman. At this moment, all the suspects were in front of him. Even the guy hiding in the depths was on his right hand side. Allendo's strength, he is confident that he can protect Flanner, a companion who is not good at fighting.

"Flap! Pop! Pop!" Viscount Bruno clapped his hands, and he said to Ryan in a complimentary tone: "Yes, not bad. You can guess a little bit of inside information, you're really good. But, this is also true. We didn't cover up the reason too carefully. Anyway, we have more people than you. As long as you are willing to follow here honestly, you are afraid that you will run away?"

"Okay, Alman." Viscount Bruno said dismissively: "You don't have to pretend to be a servant of Harishi anymore. Get ready to kill them."

Yarman said fiercely: "I'm fed up with the identity of Harrisi, I hate this boring character. Green, why do you do this every time, can't you just use a dagger?" , Yarman flipped his hand, and a bright and sharp dagger appeared in his hand.

"Don’t you think that this kind of trick of playing with your opponent in the palm of your hand has a feeling of keeping everything under control? And watching them die with an incredible look, really makes I'm excited." Viscount Bruno said here, he took out a magician badge from his arms and put it on his chest. He said to Ryan, "Ha, are you going to die obediently or are you struggling? But don't fight. With the idea of ​​running away, alas, I forgot to introduce myself. I am not a shit viscount, but he was just a hapless guy who was killed by me. My name is Green, and I am a wind magician. I always know that wind The magician is the most unrestrained and most aggressive among the magicians..."

Mage Green seemed to be a little too happy, he began to brag about his strength, maybe he was going to fill his prey with despair, but this way even his companions couldn't stand it.

"In contrast, I prefer to go straight!" Yarman endured Green's nonsense, yelling into the woods unhesitatingly: "Come out, be swift, and leave after a few strokes. "

Ryan and the other three saw two men walking out of the woods with crossbow arrows, and saw the two humble coachmen grinning and taking out daggers. Together with this Yalman, the five of them were in a semi-circular shape. Surrounded them.
