Chronicles of Ryan the Wizard

Since Chilaviv’s provocative speech, the whole free paradise has immediately fallen into a certain kind of fanaticism. A large number of supplies and mercenaries have continued to go to the seaside city of Haifeng City, where they will transfer to sea boats to the north of Sunrise City. , And then cross the South Taren prairie to reach the final destination Thor Fortress.

Ryan and the others only left on the ninth day. Because the number of people who signed up was too much, and the messenger of Thor Fortress came too suddenly, a large number of sea ships were on the route, and they did not dock to Seawind City, so they were transported. For the time being, the sea ships could not meet such a huge flow of transportation. After experiencing the chaos of the first two days, the Freedom Paradise Merchants Alliance quickly came forward to make arrangements to divide the mercenaries and materials going to Thor Fortress into many batches, as long as Sea Breeze City As soon as there is enough capacity, board the ship immediately.

As a result, an unusual phenomenon appeared. The front foot of the army supporting Thor's fortress had reached Sea Breeze City, and the following part remained in Freedom Paradise.Ryan and the others were arranged in the sixth batch, and the reason they were in this batch, as long as it was still because of Lille and York.

The twenty magicians sent by Chilaviv were all high-level magicians. They were divided into three groups and went on the road separately. Lille and York and six others were in the second group. When Lille and York learned that Ryan and others were also When they were about to go, they tried their best to invite Ryan and the others, so Ryan and the others waited a few more days.

When they learned that Lille and York were also magicians sent by Chilaviv, Ryan and the others had a deeper understanding of the strength of the Doroc Business Alliance. When they were still in the Imperial Capital, Ryan heard Victor say that now The Magic Guild had less than three hundred senior magicians on the register, but Chilaviv immediately sent twenty of them.

Flanner's previous conjecture was also confirmed.The "Hand of Magic" is indeed the industry of the Dolock Business Alliance. At the same time, if you care about the organizations that the magicians and mercenaries belong to, you can roughly estimate the strength of the various chambers of commerce in Liberty Paradise. There are really many low-key businesses. In this support, the Chamber of Commerce has shown the tremendous strength it has secretly mastered.

On the way to Sea Breeze City, Ryan and the others had always been sitting in a carriage.That extra-large carriage can accommodate eight people, but now it’s just five people sitting in, plus Xiao Bai lying in a corner. It’s naturally very relaxed.This is the prerogative of the magician. Lille and York just mentioned it casually, and soon someone sent this extra-large carriage.The Dolock Business Alliance will try its best to satisfy the various requirements of these magicians, which is also an important reason why Chilaviv can have so many magicians.

Along the way, Ryan, Lille and York kept discussing and researching the content related to the magic circle. Lille and York checked Ryan’s records in the Magic Guild a little bit and found that Ryan only had the qualifications of a magic apprentice, but Lille and York, these two masters with senior magician qualifications would not just ignore Ryan, on the contrary, they treat Ryan as the same as themselves.

A magician who can make a three-level magic scroll has at least the qualifications of an intermediate magician. What's more, the scroll uses the "Matrix Overlay" technology invented by Victor, the only great magician on the mainland. The magic power of the third level is already equivalent to the fifth level of magic.Based on this alone, Lille and York knew that Ryan's future development was boundless, how could he be treated as an ordinary magic apprentice?

As for Ryan’s current embarrassing identity, Lille and York knew that it was caused by the "Magician Test Code." Two hundred years ago, things were used without changing a word. How could it work? ?Lille and York also suffered from it.

This team did not go fast, because the sea ship they were going to take was still on the way back, and it would take a few days before they could dock to the horse head of Sea Wind City, so they had enough time.In addition, there are four mercenary groups with more than one hundred mercenaries and five hundred carriages.Those mercenaries are all on foot, and the carriage is fully loaded, and they can't get up soon if they want to.

A bumpy road, no matter how slow you go, as long as you go in the right direction, you will always reach the end. After six days of trekking, Ryan and his party finally came to Sea Breeze City.

Haifeng City is located in the southeast of the mainland, where there is the largest deep-water port on the entire mainland.The transportation between the north and the south of the empire, if it weren't for the slow-moving of horse-drawn carriages, most of them would sail between Sunrise City in the north and Sea Breeze City in the south.For bulk cargo transportation, you can only take the sea route from Haifeng City.

The local population of Sea Breeze City is not very large, about four to five hundred thousand, but there are a large number of businessmen visiting here every year, there will be countless mercenaries passing here, and even tens of thousands of porters. Most of these porters are from other places. Their income from a year of hard work here will be enough to feed their family after returning to their hometown.In addition to these, the Empire also has 100,000 troops stationed in Sea Breeze City, which includes 50,000 elite troops, including 5,000 cavalry, 15,000 archers, and 30,000 infantry.

If these populations are counted as Sea Breeze City, then the actual population of Sea Breeze City definitely exceeds one million.Sea Breeze City is also one of the few cities actually controlled by the empire in the south. The Fernando imperial family also has a temporary palace here. It is said that there is a magic teleportation array connected to the northern imperial palace for emergency refuge.Of course this is just a rumor, because at least 5,000 elite soldiers are responsible for the security guard of the temporary palace, and it is impossible for outsiders to enter.

Since the ship still has one day to dock, Ryan and the others will have time to go around in Sea Breeze City, and the mercenaries have already scattered. If there is no time to gather, I am afraid that no one can find it. To them.

Ryan followed Lille and York to the dock area to take a look. The landscape there was unique, especially the towering steel brackets on the dock, which opened their eyes to Ryan and the others.When the carriage filled with goods enters the dock area, it will be unloaded by porters immediately and then loaded into a large wooden box in order.A large wooden box can be filled with goods on twenty carriages.Ryan watched with his own eyes the staff in the dock area and the merchants who were transporting the goods. After checking the materials in the large wooden box, he nailed the door of the large wooden box, and at least fifty porters pushed forward with a rolling log.

When the large wooden box is pushed to the dock area near the ship, it will be tied with thick hemp ropes. Those hemp ropes are at least the thickness of an adult man’s arm. Ryan roughly counted it, and a large wooden box was at least tied up. There are hundreds of ropes, and those ropes are connected to steel supports.Ryan was puzzled by this move, he asked Flanner in a low voice, who then smiled mysteriously and motioned him to continue watching.

When the rope was tied up, more than a hundred porters gathered. Each of them grasped a rope in his hand, dragged it hard, and then slowly hoisted the large wooden box through the towering steel brackets.Every time a little bit of height was lifted, more than twenty porters immediately pushed over the huge wooden planks with pulleys and placed them under the large wooden box. Soon, the height of the large wooden box exceeded the height of the ship.

"Look carefully at the terrain." Flanner reminded Ryan in a low voice. Ryan followed Flanner's instructions and found that the area where the cargo ship was docked was strange. It was a recessed wharf and the ship stopped. In the recessed area.On both sides of the ship, there is solid ground, each with two towering steel supports.Previously, Ryan only cared about the height of the brackets, but did not pay attention to where they were seated.

With the efforts of hundreds of porters, the large wooden box began to slowly slide towards the sky above the ship.Ryan noticed that the heights of the brackets were different. It was possible to use the drop to make the large wooden box slide from high to low. Of course, this also required a few hundred meters of porters to firmly grasp the rope in their hands. If the sliding speed was too fast, the consequences would be great. Not good.

The large wooden box slid slowly in the air, and the steel bracket made a creaking sound, obviously bearing a huge weight. The porters who pulled the rope on the shore dragged it back desperately, and their bodies were almost touching the ground.Finally, the big wooden box came to the sky above the sea ship. Under the unified command, the porters slowly loosened the ropes in their hands and parked this heavy wooden box on the open deck of the sea ship. Porters of dozens of meters were waiting there. They still used skids to slowly push the large wooden box into the cargo hold.

Ryan and Allendo took a long sigh. It was the first time they saw such a spectacular scene.Flanner smiled and said, "How about it? Spectacular." Ryan nodded and said, "It's good, everyone is not powerful, but with such a series of methods and tools, it is possible to move such a heavy wooden box. ."

Allendo asked, "Why do you have to put it in such a big wooden box? Isn't it easier to carry around?"

Flanner obviously came to Sea Breeze City frequently and understood the truth. He explained: "If it is shipped in pieces, it is easy to go wrong. Let's not talk about how to ensure that the goods are not repackaged along the way. Just the huge wind and waves on the sea. It is inevitable for those scattered goods to be bumped and lost. Now there is a special wooden box, which is sealed after the goods are packed in, and there are fire marks on both sides. As long as you go to the destination and check it, you can know if anyone has touched it. And do you think that scattered handling saves time? In fact, using this kind of large wooden box for overall handling, although a little troublesome, can save at least half of the time. Isn't this shortening the transportation time in disguise? Last point Such large wooden boxes are also easy to stack. Look, they are neatly stacked in the cargo hold. Isn't it a more reasonable use of the limited space on the ship?"
