Chronicles of Ryan the Wizard

Chapter 492 Permanent Neutrality (2)

Ryan knew that the independence of Liberty Paradise was a mixed blessing for the Empire and the Senat rebels.As far as the empire is concerned, the empire simply cannot take into account the situation here. Instead of allowing the Senat forces to invade and occupy the free paradise, it is better to acquiesce in its neutrality.In this way, although the imperial capital will have a small income and a large amount of taxes every year, at least Senat’s power cannot expand to the south. As long as the imperial capital firmly grasps the sea breeze city, then the free paradise sea breeze city will become a restricted Senat territory. A blockade of expansion.

When Ryan was in the Imperial Military Camp, he learned in detail about the southern part of the empire from the extremely real topographical map. The territory of Senat was far less than the area occupied by the Imperial Capital, and the two sides were not comparable in population, although There are several small lords joining in Senat, but they are all concentrated in the area centered on Seck City.

The town of Mori is to the east of Seck City. Due to its proximity to the sea, there is little room for maneuvering, while the north face directly faces the Imperial Capital. These two directions are not suitable for large-scale expansion. Only to the south or west of Seck City Row.However, if Senat wants to expand his territory and expand his power to the silent forest at the southern end of the mainland, he must occupy a free paradise.

Now Liberty Paradise declares permanent neutrality, which puts the city in a detached position. Although Senat has coveted it for a long time, he is unwilling to create a strong opponent out of thin air, because if Senat does not want to face the imperial capital at the same time If you attack Freedom Paradise, you can only expand towards the west.

In this way, the focus of the entire continent is on the most important city in the west, located on the edge of the Silent Forest, "Mochizuki City" known as the capital of magic.Mochizuki City is one of the most important cities in human history, and its history can be traced back to the ancient war era.The name of this city comes from the Elvish language, and it is closely related to the capital name of the elves, Moyue City.

The name Moyue City is a long series of elves, which probably means the city bestowed by the gods, but I believe no one will have the patience to recite the long elves. I don’t know who gave it a magic word. The name of Yuecheng spread.It is said that the elves learned magic from the gods and later transferred it to humans. Therefore, in order to commemorate this event, the human magician built Mochizuki City on the edge of the silent forest where the elves lived and named it Mochizuki City. , Which means that you can see Demon Moon City from here.

As the third largest city in the south, the residents of Mochizuki Castle almost know a little bit of magic. There is simply a magical world. There is a special magic school to teach magic to young people who are interested in magic, although not everyone People will become true magicians, but with time and accumulation, Mochizuki City eventually accumulated a large number of magic talents.

Ryan has never been to Mochizuki City, but this city was specially introduced to it by his magic teacher Delaney. When Ryan was home in Dense Fog Town, he was full of curiosity about this city. According to Delaney The teacher said that the entire Mochizuki City is managed by a six-member council.

This six-person council, as the name suggests, is a loose organization composed of six great magisters, and the daily affairs of Mochizuki City are resolved by these six great magisters through consultation.And what interests Ryan the most is that these six great magisters have different specialties, each of them has their own best field, and this must be the case only in the capital of magic.If it were in the imperial capital, the number of great magicians would definitely not be small, but the types of magic they specialize in might not be as complete as Yuecheng.

Mochizuki City, the Magic City, and Freedom Paradise are very similar in some places. Although it belongs to the empire in name, it still has its own way in reality, and does not even pay taxes.In addition, the Magic Guild of Mochizuki City and the Magic Guild of the Imperial Capital still have a lot of grievances. Besides, Master Blair of Mochizuki City was not the one who lost to Master Victor of the Imperial Capital. This made Victor famous in one fell swoop.

Ryan explained all the things he knew about Mochizuki City one by one, and Falasi also added a small amount after Ryan finished speaking. After all, the latter is one of the best students of the Imperial Academy of Magic, and the Imperial Capital The Royal Academy of Magic and Mochizuki City Academy of Magic have been rivals for 200 years, and I am afraid they have been very familiar with each other.

The next step of Ryan and his party seems to be very clear. As long as Mochizuki City can declare permanent neutrality with Liberty Paradise, it will inevitably block all the four directions in which Senat can expand its territory, so that Senat is not as good in land and population. In the case of the imperial capital, they naturally fell into a disadvantaged position, which was also the ultimate goal of Ryan and the others in the South.

Of course, the six-member council of Mochizuki City is not something that Ryan and the others can see when they meet. If Ryan’s status as a magician has a little effect in Freedom Paradise, then when Ryan arrives in Mochizuki City, I’m afraid he will throw a fireball out and explode. To 10 people, 9 of them are magicians, and the remaining one is definitely a magic apprentice.

Of course, this question can’t be bothered by Ryan, because Ryan thought of his two old friends, Lille and York of the "Hand of Magic", and these two masters who are good at making magic items, they were Mochizuki City Magic when they were young. One of the best students in the guild, and their teacher, is the master Blair who had been defeated with Victor.

No one knows the six members of the Mochizuki City Council, but since Master Blair is one of the most famous magicians in the South and has always lived in Mochizuki City, he should have some knowledge of the six great mages. With such a relationship, things will go smoothly.

Lille and York returned to Freedom Paradise when Len and the others retreated from Thor's fortress, and with Flanner, a companion who was very familiar with Freedom Paradise, Len and the others easily found the "Hand of Magic".Ryan looked at the familiar environment here, imagining the expressions of Lille and York when they saw him again, and smiled slightly, and Flanner was not polite and walked straight to the front of the team and brought everyone there. Inside the hall of the hand of magic.

It was in the afternoon, and the business of Magic Hand was pretty good. When Flanner and his party walked into the hall, a man about 30 years old quickly walked up.Just as the man was about to speak, Flanner recognized him and said directly, "Jamie?"

The 30-year-old man called Jamie was the one who led Ryan and his party to see Lille. He saw Flanner and Ryan and Allendo behind him, and immediately recognized them, knowing These people are friends of Master Lille, so they said repeatedly: "Great, Master Lille missed you very much."

Ryan nodded at Jamie and said, "Please take us to see Master Lille."

Jamie replied: "Okay, please come with me." After speaking, Jamie turned around and greeted the other person standing aside, then led Ryan and his party out of the hall through the side door.The road is still that road, and even the flowers and plants on the side of the road have not changed much. Ryan still vaguely remembers the scenery here, and knows that the beautiful environment contains murderous intent. He whispered a few words to remind his companions, tightly Followed behind Jamie.

Soon, the exquisite house in Lille appeared in front of everyone. Jamie knew that Ryan and the others had a close relationship with Lille and others, so he didn't say any nonsense, and brought Ryan and the others into the house directly. Among.The room was still filled with all kinds of materials, and people still looked like messy hair, and even in a corner of the wooden table, there was still a large plate of chilled sauerkraut stew.

"I said, Lille, have you forgotten to eat again?" Ryan smiled and said to Lille, who was looking at a magic scroll intently: "It just so happened that we didn't have lunch, so just treat you."

"No time!" Lille waved his hand impatiently, and shouted: "Don't bother me, damn it, why is this magic circle used here, shouldn't it be the wind system?" When Er just said this, he suddenly realized that the voice of the speech was a bit familiar. Before that, he had been thinking for a long time, and his mind could not react for a while. He still lowered his head and thought in his heart: "Is it Jamie? No, Jamie doesn’t speak like this..."

Lille desperately searched for the owner of the voice just now, but he forgot that he could see who was talking to him as long as he raised his head, but Lille, who had fallen into contemplation, couldn't expect it to be so simple. Method.

Seeing that Lille was lost in thought, Ryan thought he was thinking about the magic scroll in his hand, so he walked over a few steps, looked up at it for a few times, and then said in a letter: "I use this magic circle to give it to its surroundings. Those three earth magic circles provide mana, but if I do it, there is no need to be so troublesome. I can change the third magic circle on the left with a few spells to achieve the effect."

"It's possible. If you change it like this, wouldn't it be scrapped?" Lear heard Ryan say so, and immediately retorted: "Hey! How can you change magic spells for this magic circle? That effect will not weaken. Yet?"

"This magic circle does not need too much magic power. It can fully activate the magic circle system on the entire scroll. This fire magic circle contains too much power. After it is used here, it has to be more. Spend a few magic circles to help consume a little."

"Hey, although what you said is a bit ridiculous, but...ah, wait a minute," Lille said suddenly in shock, "God, according to what you said, the entire scroll doesn't need to be so complicated. Ah, as long as six, seven, eight...No, there is still a wind magic circle to activate here, ah, only 9 magic circles can achieve the effect!"

Speaking of this, Lille raised his head abruptly, but saw a familiar face in front of him smiling at him.
