Chronicles of Ryan the Wizard

Chapter 553 Homecoming (2)

After talking with Blair, Ryan put all his thoughts on how to design his first magic item, but the more Ryan thinks about it, the more headache he gets. Now he can make traditional magic such as jewelry and rings alone. I also found enough inspiration from Shaina’s clothes, and I also had a preliminary understanding of making magic robes. Ryan hopes that his first work can be perfect, but he does not want to make it. Things are too plain.

In such a contradictory mood, Ryan and his party have unknowingly reached the western border of Senat's sphere of influence.After declaring independence, Senat regained the city of Seck, and the city has become the political, economic and military center of Senat.

Because the location of this city is very important, many important cities such as Freedom Paradise and Mochizuki City in the south are the most convenient way to go to the imperial capital by land.After Senat broke away from the empire and declared his independence, the first thing he did was to send troops to guard the north-south traffic arteries, blocking the land connection between the imperial capital and the southern lords.The imperial capital lost the important northern port city of Sunrise City in the war with the orcs, which caused the imperial capital to lose its access to the south by sea.

The current imperial capital is facing a very embarrassing situation: nominally, the emperor is the center of the entire empire, but in fact, all important cities in the south are acting on their own, and the imperial capital’s decree can only be within the area of ​​thousands of miles under the jurisdiction of the imperial capital. Take effect, leaving the imperial capital, no one cares at all.

This is also the situation that Senat hopes to see most. After all, he is fighting against a country with the power of a lord. If the empire still has the prestige when the nation was just established 200 years ago, then Senat would definitely not dare to have millions of armies under him. If you act rashly, you can only blame Fernando's descendants for inferior generation, which allowed the Senate family to slowly rise.

When it was learned that Mochizuki City had sent a magic exchange group to the northern capital of God, Senat's first thought was that something was wrong. Does this mean that Mochizuki City and the Imperial Capital had formed an alliance?He immediately dispatched quite a few scouts to investigate this information with all his strength, and at the same time sent additional manpower to deploy Mochizuki City's possible road to the imperial capital to prevent Blair from leading the group northward.

Master Blair and the Magic Exchange Group try not to enter Senat’s territory. However, the geographical location of Senat’s sphere of influence is really great. Master Blair had to take the entire Magic Exchange Group around the big circle, which also made Senat. There was enough time to mobilize the army to intercept them.

Master Blair has long known that on Senat’s most wanted list, Ryan is ranked fourth, above him, Catherine, Luke, and Orlando, and Faras is Luke’s daughter, Ryan is in Mochizuki. The experience of the city cannot be concealed at all. I am afraid that Senat has already made some determination, right?It can not only attack the strength of Mochizuki City, but also take Ryan and Farasi as hostages. There is nothing better than this.

The closer to Senat’s sphere of influence, the more cautious Blair and the Magic Exchange Group are. They have released enough scouts. Every day, several high-level magicians release the "Magic Eyes" to detect every move several kilometers around the exchange group. , And make different journeys day and night.

Since the entire magic exchange group rides in the same carriage that has the same equipment as Ryan, the physical exertion of the horses pulling the cart is relatively small, and the entire exchange group does not need too good road conditions to maintain high speed, as long as Where horses can run up, and the road is spacious enough to allow carriages to pass through.

"Stop! Stop!" Several men dressed as servants rode on horses and shouted in low voices. With their efforts, the fast-moving convoy stopped.Master Blair walked out of the carriage, and the men dressed as servants immediately jumped off their horses, knelt down and said, "Master Blair, there is an ambush ahead!"

"Oh? What the hell is going on, tell me more carefully."

"Yes. We found an unidentified army in a gorge about 60 kilometers ahead. The opposing army is neat and well equipped. There are about 4,000 people..."

When these people reported the situation to Master Blair, the high-level magicians in the surrounding carriages surrounded him, but Blair, as the leader of the entire magic exchange group, did not speak, and naturally others would not say much.After the men dressed as servants finished reporting, Master Blair chanted a series of magic spells without hesitation.

Under the influence of magic, a simple map slowly appeared in front of Blair. When the map first appeared, it was very rough, with only a few simple lines. With the casting of Master Blair’s spell, this map also It became clearer and clearer, and after the entire magic was completed, the terrain within a thousand miles around was completely presented to everyone.

"Wow, it's amazing, it's all right?" Farasi whispered in Ryan's ear, "If we can also use this magic, it will be too convenient to travel in the future."

"Shhh, Fannie, don't talk, see how Master Blair arranges."

Master Blair checked the map carefully, and he said: "Two of the three lords nearby here are attached to Senat, and one of them has an ambiguous attitude and has not separated from the rule of the empire, but he has long been secretly with Senat. With the connection, otherwise he and the Senat territory will not have only a mere 2,000 garrisons. This is simply a big door, waiting to entice others to beat him."

"Senate is the only one who can send 4,000 elite troops. Moreover, there are several very dangerous places to pass north. If Senat has an ambush, he will definitely choose to start in these places. If he allows us to pass. In this mountainous area, there is an endless prairie in front of it, and it is also close to the imperial capital. There will definitely be someone from Luke who will meet us, maybe the Royal Knights."

Master Blair spoke out his thoughts, and everyone present did not speak, but looked at Blair attentively, waiting for him to give orders.Master Blair is also not humble. He carefully considered the sentence and said: "We will go further 10 kilometers and we will arrive here." Master Blair pointed to the map that appeared in the sky in front of him and said: "Here There is a large open space for us to rest, and all of our scouts immediately focused there, carefully investigating every move in the vicinity of 20 kilometers, and absolutely must avoid being attacked by Seckett."

"The terrain where we are about to rest is very good. It is a mountain and there is only a small road for a carriage. Even if Senat wants to attack us, he cannot deploy his troops in a hurry, and can only become our target. "Speaking of this, everyone present laughed. Yes, the person who can stand here is the most powerful senior magician called Mayn Elber. Among the other members, there are 11 magicians. Mentor, as well as the three great magisters including Master Blair, if Senat really wants to attack, maybe it is not necessarily who is bullying whom?
