Chronicles of Ryan the Wizard

Saying goodbye to the two masters of Lille and York, Ryan and the others left the "Hands of Magic" and came to the street.The sky was already bright at this time, and the night passed without knowing it.It was still early, and there were not many pedestrians on the street. The cold air refreshed the sleepy Ryan. He stretched his waist, yawned, and said lazily, "Oh, it's so comfortable." Yes. Last night was really a long night."

Allendo took a few deep breaths, and then said to Ryan, "Yes, but the rewards of the night are not small."

Ryan rubbed his eyes and replied, "I think of it now, the last time we took the adventure with the Six Arrows Mercenary Tuanbury and the others, we took too much advantage. This is really embarrassing."

Allen laughed, he patted Ryan on the shoulder and said, "Ryan, it's not that I am boasting. If you weren't there, they wouldn't be able to get out of this adventure! Magic items are tempting, but they have to be used. Ah. But if you feel that you are taking advantage in your heart, compensate them next time you have the opportunity, such as giving them more magic scrolls."

Ryan thought for a while and said seriously: "Yes, anyway, I have been practicing non-stop recently. There should be a lot of good scrolls." Having said that, Ryan remembered that he had used the five fireballs he gave to Flanner last night. I dropped three of them, so he turned to Flanner and said, "Flaner, I'll make you some more fireball scrolls these days."

Flanner followed Ryan and Elendo, but he lowered his head as if thinking about something. Ryan said to him twice in a row, but Flanner did not answer Ryan's words, Ryan took a picture in surprise. Shooting Flanner, but Flanner suddenly said: "Competitor!"

"Competitor? What kind of competitor?" Ryan and Allendo were stopped by Flanner's thoughtless words. They looked at each other, and they didn't understand Flanner's meaning.

Flanner suddenly seemed to wake up. He smiled at Ryan and Allen, and signaled that there was nothing wrong with him. Then he explained, "That Jamie, he is also a competitor."

"Jamie?" Ryan recalled carefully. Yes, when his party was in the "Hands of Magic", he did meet such a person, but Ryan didn't have any impression of him. He really couldn't remember what this person looked like. Up.

Allendor suddenly interrupted and said, "You mean competitors? Competitors like you before?"

Allen's words suddenly made Ryan wake up. That's right, wasn't Flanner a competitor for the next president of the Dolock Business Alliance before?So is this person called Jamie?Ryan said, "You mean that apprentice who is about thirty years old?"

Flanner nodded and said in an affirmative tone: "Yes."

"Oh, how did you know?" Ryan tilted his head, and once again recalled this person named Jamie. Unfortunately, he didn't put his mind on these apprentices at the time. He only remembered that the person named Jamie had behavior. So a little bit abnormal, because he seems to have been following behind him, and an ordinary apprentice would not do that.

"Feel!" Flanner's tone was very critical, even though his answer was not satisfactory.

"Feeling?" Ryan and Allenduo said in unison, "This is really a good reason!"

Flanner smiled, and he said in a positive tone again: "Yes. That is something that is difficult to describe. That Jamie, his various performances are so much like me before, I even said in his I saw my usual shadow."

Before Ryan and Elendo could speak, Flanner said again: "I finally understand now. Even if the list is not leaked by Dolock, it is impossible for us competitors of civilian origin to keep our identity secret. Looking back now It looks so funny! Working hard all day for that so-called great ideal is actually just the magician's mirroring technique, and it breaks with one touch."

Ryan was a little worried about Flanner, he asked cautiously: "Still thinking about those things?"

"No! That's a thing of the past, I failed. More importantly, I found a better goal."

Seeing that Flanner's answer was very organized, Ryan felt more relieved. He smiled and said, "That's good."

Flanner said: "I just felt it. I deduced that most of the tasks that Jamie had to complete were related to magic items, so he took the initiative to follow us, because in this way, he can have more time and Those attached magicians meet. Maybe when he sees us, in his heart he has already begun to figure out how to use us to achieve his busy goals in the most effective way. This "Hand of Magic" must have a close relationship with the Dolock Business Alliance. , Otherwise Lille would not say that the sauerkraut stew is no different from what Chilaviv enjoyed."

Speaking of this, Flanner closed her mouth suddenly. After a few seconds, her face turned red, and she said embarrassingly: "Haha, I'm really boring enough. Why do I care about these things? It’s a habit left over the past few years. For the so-called goal, collecting, analyzing, and using it at all costs... So when I was in trouble, naturally I didn’t really help me."

Flanner sighed with emotion, and suddenly stretched a long waist, and then said: Go, have breakfast.This free paradise is most familiar to me. Today I invite you to dinner.There is a place where the barbecue is quite famous..."

The fragrant and greasy barbecue was brought to Ryan and the others. After smelling the fragrant barbecue, the three of them immediately had an appetite. Even Xiao Bai kept rubbing against Ellendor’s feet for fear of himself. The owner forgot his own existence.

Flanner picked up the knife and cut the plate of roast meat in front of him into small pieces, then used a fork to fork a piece, carefully blew it, put it in his mouth and chewed slowly.Ryan followed close behind, but instead of a fork, he used his own dagger, the one he bought when he first came out on the adventure.Only Elendo didn’t start tasting immediately. Instead, he cut the barbecue in front of him, which was obviously twice as much as the others. He threw a portion to Xiaobai, who took a bite and shrank in Ellendor’s seat. Under the chair, I feasted.

At this moment, it is not the busiest time for this small shop, and the seven or eight tables in the shop are filled with four tables.Ryan were sitting next to them with six strong men, who were talking while drinking.Ryan didn't want to eavesdrop on what other people were saying, but those people talked loudly and rudely. I was afraid that everyone in the shop could hear the voice.

"Do you know? The messenger from Thor's Fortress arrived last night, and all the heads of the Liberty Paradise Merchant Alliance were invited by Chilaviv. It is said that they were discussing countermeasures overnight."

"How did you know?"

"Our land mercenary group was responsible for the safety and security of those businessmen last night. You said how did I know. We have just changed shifts. We immediately came over to drink and eat meat with you."

"Thunder God Fortress? Isn't that the northernmost part of the mainland? What does it have to do with us?"

"I heard that those green-skinned bastards are ready to move. Although we have Orlando generals and the invincible Royal Knights, the army always has to eat. The prairie in the north can't be planted, only transported by us from the south. There are also all kinds of strategic materials, aren't they all sent from our south?"

"Oh, according to what you said, why do we southerners listen to their northerners? They eat and use, but we sell them."

"Idiot! You are really stupid. Without those northerners, the green-skinned bastards have long gone south. Besides, the northern prairie is rich in horses, fighting on this continent, and the cavalry is invincible. For more than a thousand years , The infantry did not really defeat the cavalry."

"..."

"Hey, look, isn't that an apprentice from the Dolock Business Alliance? Why are such a large group of people taking to the streets, don't they need to do business?"

"More than, more than. Look, those in crimson clothes should be apprentices from the Ruby Chamber of Commerce. They are usually competitors with Dolock. How did they get together today?"

Ryan looked out from the window and saw dozens of apprentices in various dresses appearing on the street. They were walking in groups. Although there was no neat queue, there were so many people walking together, but no one spoke.Every time you pass a shop, an apprentice will enter, and the small shop where Len and the others are eating is no exception.

An apprentice in a crimson dress should be from the Ruby Chamber of Commerce, right?He walked into the shop, looked at the guests who were having breakfast, then looked at the chef coming out of the kitchen, and said loudly, "Dear residents of Freedom Paradise! The northern orcs are preparing to attack Thor Fortress, Freedom Paradise. After a night of emergency consultations, the leaders of the Merchants Alliance have already had countermeasures. Please be sure to gather at the central square at noon today. The Merchants Alliance will release the results of the emergency consultations last night."

This apprentice kept repeating these few words, and then once someone walked in, he said it again, lest others didn’t hear it. Although others hated him for influencing their dining mood, they knew what they had informed as soon as they heard the content. It was a major event, and the war that Freedom Paradise experienced for hundreds of years was also notified by the method used today.

Flanner whispered to Ryan: "Let's go and see it too. This situation is very rare. It must have been a very important decision, and it may be related to the future of the entire free paradise."

Ryan nodded and agreed, but he also whispered to Flanner: "What else can happen? It's nothing more than supporting people and things."

Flanner smiled and said, "Of course. But the business opportunities here, haha, if you don't come in person, you don't know these decisions in the first time. It is estimated that merchants and mercenaries are not at ease."
