Chronicles of Ryan the Wizard

The carriage drove smoothly into the south gate of the imperial capital. Ryan and Faras looked out the window and saw Fernando City, which had been away for several months.This is the third time Ryan has come to the imperial capital. This time, following him is a whole group of people from the Magic Exchange Group of Mochizuki City Magic Academy.

When they entered the imperial capital area yesterday morning, Ryan and the others met Bacon from the Royal Knights on patrol. The squadron leader who was born and died with Ryan was naturally very happy after seeing Ryan. Of course, he knew that Ryan and his party went to the south. Because of something, it was natural to be shocked to see Ryan returning to the imperial capital with Blair from Mochizuki City and a large group of magister-level figures.

After a simple arrangement, Bacon asked his deputy to take 200 knights to continue the tour, and he personally led the remaining 300 knights to escort the convoy to the imperial capital.But last night, the messenger sent by Bacon arrived in the imperial capital. Luke took it very seriously when he learned that Blair had led the team to the imperial capital. He not only arranged a reception overnight, but also immediately notified Victor.

So when the Mochizuki City Exchange Group arrived outside the city at noon today, I saw Victor and his party waiting there at first sight. After a simple and solemn ceremony, Victor personally led Mochizuki City and his party into the city. Imperial capital.Ryan and the others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Their mission of going south has finally come to an end.

The carriage drove into the imperial capital, and when you looked around, it was a familiar and unfamiliar city. It was familiar because I had lived here for a while, and I knew the people and customs here. It was unfamiliar because a large number of buildings were destroyed by orcs. City, so many buildings were newly built after Ryan and the others left.

"Let's go to the Imperial Capital School of Magic." Farasi whispered to Ryan, "Master Blair was good to us in Mochizuki City. Now it's our turn to be the master. We must..."

"This is natural!" Ryan agreed casually. He completely opened the curtains of the carriage and looked at the busy scene on both sides of the street outside. He couldn't help but exclaimed: "We have only been walking for a few months, and now the capital has completely changed. It seems to have come to a new city."

Faras also poked her head out of the car window a little, looked at it again and said, "Yes, I really hope that the mainland can maintain peace, because only then can the civilians live a stable life."

"Don't worry, there is Victor's Thor's Fury, and Orlando's General's Royal Knights. Anyone who dares to peep into the capital will be punished."

"Huh, I don't even talk about my father. Is my father unnecessary?" Falasi pursed her mouth and said, while Ryan held the curtain in one hand and wrapped Falasi in his arms. He proudly said, "Of course. No! No matter how great Victor and Orlando are, they will only deter outside and inside those with ulterior motives, but it is Luke who really improved the lives of civilians."

"It's about the same."

"Oh, by the way, when shall we meet Uncle Luke..."

"I hate it, when is it still called Uncle?"

"Ah, what should I call?"

"Stupid, you should follow me..."

A businessman wearing a leather jacket was standing by the street, watching silently as the carriage in which Ryan and Faras was driving past him, he shouted a few rough words, greeted the few coolies he hired, and let them Unload the goods from the carriage and move it into the grocery store next to it.

After a large cart of sturdy furs were transported into the grocery store, the businessman took out a shriveled purse from his arms, counted dozens of copper coins from it, and handed them one by one. coolie.After doing this, the businessman sat on the frame of the carriage and drove it around into an alley nearby.

This alley leads to the back doors of the grocery stores along the street, and the businessman drove a carriage into a yard. There had been people waiting in the yard. After the businessman jumped out of the carriage, the man immediately greeted him. The merchant took the whip and drove his horse to feed.

And the businessman rudely patted the dust on his body in the yard and swaggered into the room in the middle of the yard.A big bucket of hot water had been prepared in the room long ago, and a middle-looking woman was waiting there. After the businessman walked in, she didn't say much, she took off her clothes and jumped into the big wooden bucket.

The woman rolled up her sleeves and took a room for him to rub his back, but the woman's face was not the expression of his wife towards her husband, but a respectful look, as if facing her boss.

The businessman quickly came out after washing. After taking a shower, his skin suddenly became different. Originally, as he was in the wind and rain every day, it was naturally dark, but now the businessman’s The skin on the body looks very white, obviously well maintained, and usually only nobles can do this.

The woman immediately helped him dry his body and combed his long hair to his head, revealing the real face of the businessman, Senat's right-hand man, Raphael, the head of the mainland's first killer organization Soul Eater.

Raphael sat on a chair, closed his eyes and enjoyed the massage of the woman behind him.He came to the imperial capital for only half a month, and his external identity was a fur merchant. In the eyes of the imperial tax official, he was just a small merchant who bought fur from some herdsmen in the west and transported it to the imperial capital for sale. The north was occupied by orcs, and the Clay clan who had been supplying the furs of the imperial capital also rebelled against the empire, so Raphael's business was not bad.

This time Raphael came to the imperial capital because Senat ordered him to infiltrate the imperial capital himself and presided over the intelligence network of Soul Eater in the imperial capital.At the same time, all means should be used to delay the development of the imperial capital as much as possible, so that Senat has enough time to train the army to accumulate strength.

Since Rafael’s mission to capture Seawind City failed, Senat aggressively suppressed him and forced him to venture to the imperial capital. On the surface, it seemed that Senat had entrusted Raphael with a heavy responsibility, but in fact Senat took advantage of it. Taking this opportunity to gather the strength that originally belonged to Raphael, Raphael is not strong enough, naturally it is impossible to fight against Senat, but he also hid the direct line he had cultivated for so many years, and let Senat take away his hand. Those powers that are not very important.

As long as the soul is still in his own hands, as long as the soul-eaters are still obedient to his orders, Raphael doesn't worry that Senat will abandon him.As for Senat's suppression of himself, Raphael had long expected it, because he had mastered too much power when Senat left the south, especially the intelligence system under the entire Senat system.

If Senat is not in trouble, then as long as Raphael is ambitious, he will soon be able to cover Senat’s eyes and ears with false information, and gradually evade him. As a hero, Senat will naturally not allow this to happen, so no matter Raphael Whether he is loyal to himself or not, Senat will suppress Raphael, first hold these forces in his hands, and then decide Raphael's fate based on Raphael's performance.

This is also the biggest reason why Raphael obediently surrendered all the power on the surface and came to the imperial capital in person. He definitely cannot make Senat worry about himself, otherwise he will be like that Steven sooner or later, as long as Senator If Te can replace Steven with Karina and control his power, then this descendant who was one of the seven kingdoms hundreds of years ago will disappear silently.
