Chronicles of Ryan the Wizard

On the way, Ryan and the others were cautious everywhere, and immediately guarded if there was a slight disturbance, lest they would be ambushed by Senat’s men again, but to everyone’s surprise, nothing happened until they entered the free paradise. .

Looking at the familiar street, Ryan remembered the last time he met Flanner, and Flanner also remembered his unbearable experience, but all of this has passed. Flanner is now Ryan The logistics supervisor of the mercenary group, and in fact, Ryan did not put too much energy on the management of the mercenary group. Those daily affairs are basically handled by Flanner. From this point of view, Flanner can be regarded as the deputy commander of the entire mercenary group.

Colin and Thomas looked out from the car window. They came to this city for the first time. As the commercial center of the entire continent, Liberty Paradise is far more prosperous than Thor Fortress can compare, and even the Imperial Capital is not as good.The two of them pestered Flanner, who was in the same carriage with them, listening attentively as Flanner told them all about the free paradise one by one, and they wished to experience it for themselves.

"Go, go." A few mercenaries hurried past the carriage Colin and the others were riding in. One of the mercenaries yelled: "Mr. Chilaviv has something important to announce, and it is almost noon. I’m late, but I can’t hear what he said."

"Only you are the most troublesome. If you listened to me earlier, we would have been to Freedom Square long ago. Maybe we can still occupy a good position." Another mercenary said.

"Okay, okay." The third mercenary said impatiently: "Don't say a few words, let's go."

A few mercenaries walked away quickly, but their conversation caught the attention of Ryan and his party. Ryan jumped from the carriage and went straight to Flanner’s carriage. Flanner was also in Colin and Thomas. With his support, he showed his head from the carriage window.

"Listening to those few mercenaries just now, it seems that something big is going to happen in this free paradise."

"Yes." Flanner said: "Usually, Chilaviv will never show up in public. If he really wants to appear in Freedom Square, it will probably involve the entire Freedom Paradise. It's just like when recruiting a mercenary group to go north."

"Then let's go there too."

"As you wish." Flanner nodded. He was no better than Colin and the others, and the wound on his body was still a little painful, so Ryan asked him to rest more when he was fine.In contrast, Colin and Thomas could have scurried around long ago. Even Ryan, who was actually injured the most, is now basically healthy.

Ryan and the others rode toward the central square in Liberty Paradise, which is the most prosperous place in Liberty Paradise, and it is also the place where various celebrations are held in Liberty Paradise.When Ryan and the others arrived, the central square, which could accommodate 200,000 people, was already covered with densely packed people. Of course, Ryan and their carriages couldn't enter this area at all. Dolock Business Alliance and more than a dozen chambers of commerce have dispatched personnel to maintain For the order here, Ryan got out of the carriage just one street away and walked slowly to the square.

It seemed that the time hadn't arrived yet, so Ryan and the others waited quietly for a while. During the time they were waiting, more people flooded in here, enclosing the entire central square.The sun slowly rose to the top, and the time finally arrived at noon. At this time, the melodious bells came from the square, which made the people crowded in the square slowly stop talking, and stared at the center of the square. That platform.

Chilawive appeared in front of everyone on time. This was the second time Ryan saw the legendary figure. Chilawive was still wearing white clothes, but he was slightly different from the last time. There were eight people behind him, twice as many as the last time.

"It seems that Chilaviv is not optimistic about the current situation in the south, otherwise he would not send more people to protect himself." Ryan thought to himself: "I don't know how I can convince him, maybe I want to see him too. Very difficult thing?"

At this moment, the clear bells once again remembered, Chilaviv raised his hands high and signaled everyone to be quiet.When the entire central square slowly fell into calm, Chilaavi spoke: "Dear residents of Freedom Paradise, merchants, mercenaries, and other people from all walks of life, hello! I’m Kira. Weave, the president of the Dolock Business Alliance."

Chilaviv’s voice spread across every corner of the central square of Liberty Paradise through a colorful amplified magic circle. Everyone’s eyes focused on him, although most of the giants are not very clear about it. What Laviv is going to say, but everyone believes that what Chilaviv will announce next is absolutely shocking.

"A few hundred years ago, the place where we stood was just a small village with a population of less than a hundred people, and everything was extremely desolate.

It was the industrious hands of our ancestors that slowly expanded here, from a village to a small town, from a small town to a city... After hundreds of years of development, the city of Jagnas became the largest on the mainland The commercial city, we proudly call it the "freedom paradise"!"

"Anyone, as long as he is willing to abide by the rules here, can live freely here, he can buy properties produced in any corner of the mainland, and he can enjoy the beautiful girls from all over the world...Here, anyone There is no need to worry about your own safety being threatened, and our city will not be involved in any disputes between the forces on the mainland. In short, the free paradise is a paradise on earth and a paradise for the gods!"

"200 years ago, Liberty Paradise joined the Holy League empire founded by Fernando I as an autonomous city. Of course, this is only in name. In addition to the taxes that must be paid every year, everything else in this city is free The members of the Paradise Merchants Alliance negotiate together. It can be said that Free Paradise is developing faster and better under the management of the Merchants Alliance. We will continue to abide by the purpose established by our ancestors, that is, to be absolutely neutral and not participate in the mainland. Disputes between any forces. This purpose allowed our city to develop and grow in the tragic Hundred Years' War, and it also allowed us to achieve glory after joining the Holy Alliance Empire."

"However, it is regrettable that after 200 years, the original peaceful life was broken, the orcs invaded the south, and the southern lord’s independence... If it is to support the empire, allocate materials and send additional personnel to Thor Fortress. For the happiness of all mankind, this is the imperative, then the disputes between the northern empire and the southern lords are internal affairs of mankind. The purpose of the free paradise is not to involve disputes between the various forces, so be the special envoy of the northern imperial capital. After the Southern Lord himself appeared in front of me, we, the Freedom Paradise Merchant Alliance once again stood at the crossroads, and we need to make choices again."

"After three full days of discussion, our Liberty Paradise Merchants Alliance made the final decision." Chilaviv's voice was still so mellow, but everyone present held their breath. Because what Chilaviv is about to say will affect the future of Freedom Paradise, and it will also cause a huge change in the situation on the mainland.

"Now I stand here, on behalf of all the members of the Freedom Paradise Merchants Alliance, the business capital, to announce to everyone an extremely important thing. Freedom Paradise will continue to implement the purpose of independence. For this reason, our Free Paradise will be separated from the Holy Alliance Empire. And to become a permanently neutral city. We will not favor any force on the mainland, whether it is an imperial capital in the north or a lord in the south. There will be no war in the area where the free paradise belongs. Anyone who is willing to obey the free paradise’s The rule, he is our guest and will be warmly welcomed by us, but if anyone tries to annex the free paradise and take away the wealth left by our ancestors for generations, it is our enemy."

"Since we have withdrawn from the empire and want to maintain absolute neutrality, the tax paid to the imperial capital by our free paradise every year will naturally be cancelled, but this money will still be collected. After discussion by the merchant alliance, we decided to use this money. Come to build a mercenary army, this army will be responsible for maintaining the order of the city in peacetime, and once a foreign enemy invades, they will relentlessly launch a counterattack to protect the safety of all of us. Of course, this mercenary army is absolute Will not take the initiative to take a step out of a free paradise."

When Chilaviv finished talking, the entire central square was immediately plunged into chaos. Almost everyone’s brain was stimulated by Chilawive’s words. They couldn’t believe that they belonged to the empire yesterday, but in a blink of an eye. He became a citizen of a neutral city, and had nothing to do with that empire.

Of course, these so-called excitements were only because Chilaviv’s words were beyond everyone’s expectations. In fact, when the people present reacted, they almost all cheered for Chilawive and the Freedom Paradise Merchant Alliance. I am happy with this decision. No one wants to succumb to others, especially since they have to pay a large amount of gold every year to an unfamiliar king in the north.

Now that Freedom Paradise is independent, the residents of this city are naturally elated. Soon, the news announced by Chilaviv spread throughout the city, and they all fell into excitement.For Ryan and the others, this result is really discouraging. After all, they have spent a lot of effort and lost some teammates, but they watched Liberty Paradise break away from the empire and couldn't get any strength. But in Ryan they In his heart, he can still barely accept it.
