Chronicles of Ryan the Wizard

The south of the mainland is not like the endless prairie like the north. The terrain here is much more complicated. Forests, forests, peaks, and hills can be said to be everything. And the further you go south, the denser the rivers and the wetter the climate. .In many places, even horse-drawn carriages are no longer the main means of transportation. Instead, they are the ships floating on the rivers extending in all directions.

Between Haifeng City, a port city on the east side of the mainland, and Freedom Paradise, the largest commercial capital on the mainland, a road was built for the carriages of the chambers of commerce to travel quickly. This road was built almost along the torrent river that traverses east and west.The River Rapids originates from the Hengduan Mountains on the west side of the mainland, passes through Mochizuki City, Freedom Paradise, and goes to the sea near Haifeng City. It can be regarded as the longest river on the road.

Many chambers of commerce use this river to transport goods directly from Liberty Paradise to Sea Breeze City by merchant ships, and vice versa by carriage.Originally, this east-west traffic artery had always been pedestrians, horse-drawn carriages, and ships, but Ryan and the others walked all the way in horse-drawn carriages, but they could hardly see any caravans.

Ryan was sitting in the carriage. He looked at the torrential river not far from the window and saw the empty river. He suddenly said to Flanner, who was walking by his side, "I remember the last time I took this road. , But the pedestrians keep coming, why has it become so desolate now? I haven't seen other people in this whole half day?"

Flanner replied as he walked, "Most of it was caused by the Senate rebellion? Now that the situation in the south is unstable, many chambers of commerce are afraid to go out. Moreover, due to the fall of Sunrise City, the empire’s north-south shipping has been paralyzed. It can’t be shipped, and the goods from the south are also difficult to ship."

Ryan shook his head slightly. He was worried about the situation in the empire. The night before, 5,000 Senat’s rebels attacked Seawind City with the assistance of nearly a hundred people. Fortunately, Ryan and his party blocked them and finally Let them be annihilated, otherwise once Sea Breeze City falls into the grasp of Senat, I am afraid that the entire South will not belong to the Empire.

Ryan and the others are now hurriedly heading for their next destination. Originally, the envoy Robin also hoped to wait for a while in Sea Breeze City, and waited until the smuggling ship agreed to hide their identities, and then proceeded according to the plan. The plan was implemented, but Ryan directly rejected it.

The reason is very simple, that is, Ryan and his party have become household names in Sea Breeze City, and it is meaningless to follow the original plan rigidly.Besides, from the rebels who were captured, Ryan also confirmed that they were Senat's conjecture. In order to get ahead of Senat, Ryan and the others only took a rest in Seawind City for one day, and immediately set off in a hurry.

Ryan and the others walked in such a hurry, apart from worrying that the exposure of their identity would affect the mission, another very important reason was that they couldn't stay in Sea Breeze City.

Because Ryan’s performance that night greatly shook the army and mercenaries of Seawind City, he also increased the value of the Mage’s mercenaries a lot, and now the mercenary group of Seawind City, no matter how poor or small it is The members of the magician are proud. If a mercenary group does not even have a lowest-level magic apprentice, they would not dare to appear in the bar at all, even if they go there will not receive any tasks.

Of course, in this incident, the greatest gain was the Hustwind Mercenary Group, because Ryan's comrade Oz belonged to this mercenary group.The warriors of Oz’s squad with Oz as the captain have also become hot characters. They have heard bits and pieces from Oz, about the adventures of Ryan and others, plus their own imagination, Add the description out.

In this way, one pass ten, ten pass one hundred. After the spread of unknown number of people, Ryan is no longer alone. In the story that became more and more outrageous, Ryan became a man with a height of ten meters and a waist circumference of ten. Mi’s giant, he launched the "Thunder God’s Fury" forbidden curse with a light sneeze, and a powerful tornado magic was formed with a casual wave. What dragon, demon, lich, Ryan are embarrassed to use two Dealing with them with one hand, he strangled to death with a finger.

Although these stories are absurd and obvious, those audiences just like to hear them, and the more outrageous they are, the happier they listen.Of course, these stories also passed to Ryan and their ears. Ryan had to explain it with words at first, but he only explained it for half a day.

In the afternoon of the same day, the afternoon after the Senat rebels attacked Seawind City, a dozen bards from the entire Seawind City organized together. They spent several hours composing a grand opera " "Lion Slaying the Dragon" was performed for free in the central square of Sea Breeze City, which is outside the Fernando Royal Palace, which can accommodate tens of thousands of people.

As a result, this musical became popular. It performed a full fifteen shows that day, and the audience who had seen it exceeded 100,000. The tired bards were almost becoming skeletons.

This absurd song and dance drama probably means that it tells how Ryan defeated the rebels of Senat alone, and also added a lot of hearsay stories. At the end of the whole song and dance drama, Ryan alone singled out an ancient red dragon. , So that the atmosphere of the entire square reached its climax.

These bards were also very encouraged. They took advantage of the crew to become a new song and dance troupe, preparing to perform this story across the continent. At the same time, Lane and the others were also enthusiastically sought after by the residents of Sea Breeze City, basically in Oz's residence. At least five thousand boys and girls surrounded it, and they shouted Ryan's name in unison.

The final result of the whole incident was to let Lion and the others flee. With the help of the Storm Mercenary Group, Lion and the others left Sea Breeze City silently in their own carriage.

In fact, this is the reason why things can happen, mainly because the residents of Seawind City have concerns in their hearts. They have lived under the wings of the Holy Alliance Empire for two hundred years. Everything seems to have become a certain way, but this kind of stability The day was broken overnight. The orcs captured Thor’s fortress. In the imperial capital, there was a fierce battle with humans for several months. Many lords in the south declared independence. Among them, Senat, the most powerful, even extended his tentacles to Seawind City. Don’t worry about people who have lived here for generations.

So, intentionally or unintentionally, people regarded Ryan and his party as a hope to maintain their better tomorrow. Ryan and others' deeds in the Royal Tournament have been spread throughout the entire Sea Breeze City. After all, the southern part of the empire has been without a team for a long time. Entered the top three, and the relationship between Ryan and Farath, Farath and the Imperial Chancellor of the Treasury, the relationship between the invincible Royal Knights Orlando head also became a topic of interest.

Of course, behind all this, there are still many invisible big hands pushing forward. The Storm Mercenary Group will naturally spare no effort to build momentum for Ryan and the others. Anyway, Ryan’s former comrade Oz now belongs to their mercenary group, and The garrison of Seawind City, of course, will not forget the help that Ryan has given them. Besides, through these things, they can win the favor of the empire's actual power holders.

The carriage galloped for a whole day, and Sea Breeze City was already tens of kilometers away, but Ryan seemed to hear the voices of thousands of people cheering in unison, which made him very confused. If these people could This kind of energy is placed on resisting the enemy’s attack, so there is no need for Ryan and the others to take action the night before. Seawind City has a population of hundreds of thousands. This number even a three-year-old child can distinguish the huge gap.

When Ryan whispered the doubt in his heart, Flanner said in a pun: "People need role models and leaders."

"There is no convincing person to command them. These people are just a mess. Even if they have hundreds of thousands of people, they will still be captured by thousands or even hundreds of enemies. But once such a person speaks loudly, then these people will become Become the most fanatical fighters, they can tear everything in front of them for their leader."

"How is this possible?" Ryan said suspiciously.

"This is why the Pope was able to crown all countries on the entire continent. In fact, the Church of Light and our great Gods of Light, isn't it exactly like this? After all, it is nothing more than a question of faith. "

"Maybe?" Ryan said thoughtfully.

"Why can ancient humans defeat the mighty red dragon, Beamon and even the Titans? As you said, discipline is a sharp weapon for mankind to gain a foothold on the mainland, but how to ensure this discipline? Or how to let others abide by this discipline? That is nothing more than that. Strength, but strength alone is not enough. Others need to be convinced. Otherwise, no matter how strong the human individual is, it will be just another red dragon or Bimon."

"Okay, let's not talk about this." Flanner seemed unwilling to talk more about this matter. He changed a topic and said, "Are you confident in our mission this time?"

"I don't know, maybe there is it?" Ryan was obviously lacking in confidence. He lowered his voice and said, "The entire Freedom Paradise does not have a strict manager, and Chila Aviv, who controls the largest force in the Merchant Alliance, I have only met once, and we can’t talk about friendship at all. I think it’s very rare to be able to sit together and talk about this. Even if this Chilaviv supports us, how much time and energy we have to spend Convince others one by one?"

"The most important point is that the military forces of the empire cannot appear in the south at all. The Sek city line between the north and the south is the biggest obstacle. For example, now that Senat is desperate to attack Freedom Paradise, our army only has In the imperial capital, I watched eagerly."

"However, Freedom Paradise is not necessarily willing to obey Senat. I was born there and live there. Freedom Paradise advocates freedom. They don’t like any restrictions. In contrast, Senat, who is closer to them, treats them. On the contrary, the threat is even greater. The empire only cares about nominal unity, while Senat wants to eat the free heaven."

"Not bad." Lane said, "This may be our only advantage."
