Chronicles of Ryan the Wizard

"After the war, it's not that no one went in. In fact, the ancestors of our three families all organized expeditions to enter there. There was a thick mist throughout the day. The more you move toward the center, the greater the mist. People standing inside can’t discern the direction at all. Either get lost and get stuck inside and die slowly, or walk back to the original place inexplicably. A few lucky people may find the right way, but the strength of the monsters inside are very It’s powerful, and ordinary people can’t fight it at all. There is even a terrible miasma in the depths of the swamp. Once trapped in it, they will be poisoned and killed immediately. Well, there are people who have seen the wandering Templar, they have not completed their mission, so forever Unable to rest...In short, after losing a lot of manpower, our ancestors gave up."

"It turned out to be so, then I am even more looking forward to the upcoming trip to the Cursed Swamp." Ryan was not afraid after listening to Adams's narration, but was very excited. After participating in the defense of the imperial capital, Ryan There is almost never the experience of walking on the death line again. Now that there is such an opportunity, Ryan certainly hopes to take an adventure.

"Oh, please don't do this!" Adams saw that his deliberately exaggerated persuasion not only had no effect, but made Ryan eager to try. He was very upset in his heart and had to say truthfully: "Fabia, what is the situation there? , We don’t know at all, but since there have been no adventurers really going deep into it for so many years, and there are so many terrible legends, it shows that Cursed Swamp is an extremely dangerous place, and you are now the soul of Cassano, If you have any surprises..."

Ryan shook his head slightly. He said to Adams and Carter: "As long as I am still alive, there will always be some dangers. Even if I hide in Iron Fist Castle every day, then I may encounter assassins sent by other forces. , Maybe a certain careerist will start a war regardless of the fact that they are together... In short, the only one who can really protect himself when danger comes is his own strength, and the only way to quickly increase strength is to participate in actual combat."

"For me, the wars that unified Cassano were just a kind of boring killing. This did not improve my strength. Now that I have such a chance, of course I have to try it. In addition, this time I When I go to the imperial capital, I will bring a lot of manpower, so I take advantage of this opportunity to conduct a practical exercise."

"I still oppose it, because your decision is too hasty!" Seeing that he couldn't persuade Ryan, Adams couldn't help but grow a lot louder: "Please, for the sake of the people of Cassano, don't put yourself in danger. , Because it is not only your safety, but also the future of Cassano’s 200,000 people!"

"What's the matter?" Vivienne and Adela, who were admiring the jade of the waves, heard what Adams said. They looked at Ryan and the others tens of meters away in surprise, feeling a little strange, because Adams is very calm in normal times, and has never been as slumped as before.

Vivienne returned the sea wave emerald to the merchant, and she took Adela's hand and walked towards Ryan.Adams has a little regret now, no matter how correct his starting point is, it is not right to quarrel with Ryan in front of everyone, because it will damage the prestige of those in the upper ranks.

Vivienne and Adela soon came to Ryan and the others. Vivienne squeezed Adela's hand gently, and the latter cuddled up to her father's side, while Vivienne herself was smiling. He came to Ryan and asked with an intimate expression: "What's wrong? Fabia. Did you do something bad and was discovered by Adams?"

Ryan rubbed his nose with a wry smile, not knowing what to say to Vivian.The disagreement between him and Adams just now was actually a dead end. From the perspective of a hegemony, Ryan must ensure his safety, especially when he does not have his own blood, otherwise once he has something to do, It is easy to cause chaos in the territory.

However, Ryan can become the hegemon, not relying on factors such as family and army, but his own magical strength. If he wants to ensure that he can truly occupy the position of the hegemon, Ryan must improve his own strength. The fastest way to increase strength is To take risks, to wander between life and death, but risking will put yourself in danger, which is contrary to the status of the hegemon.

So Ryan didn't know how to tell Vivienne that, theoretically, neither party was wrong in his dispute with Adams, and the fault was that Ryan had two different identities that had differences in this matter.While Ryan was still worried about how to explain, Adela had learned the general situation from her father. She came to Vivian in a few steps, and whispered the whole thing to Vivian.

Vivienne has been a mercenary for ten years, and of course she understands Ryan’s intentions, so she did not hesitate to stand on Ryan’s side. Vivian said to Adams, “Actually, this matter is very simple. We are not an ordinary mercenary group. We can form a small army and go there to see it. If everything goes well, naturally we don't need to say more. If things don't go as we imagined, we will return to the same path."

"But, for 200 years, no mercenary group has ever really entered the core of the cursed swamp..." Adams blurted out.

"Yes, but in the past 200 years, no one has truly unified the entire Cassano Plain!" Vivienne interrupted Adams. She smiled at Ryan and continued to turn her head and said to Adams: "I used to be one. A mercenary, I have ventured with Fabia, I should be the person who knows him best here. If you, like me, saw Fabia killed a poisonous manticore with his fingers, you would understand that I am How strong his confidence is. I believe that there will definitely be unknown powerful monsters in the cursed swamp, but just be careful not to fall into the siege of a large number of monsters. I think there are not many monsters that can harm Fabia."

Adams listened to Vivienne’s words and fell into silence. After a while, he suddenly said: "Well, I also go to curse the swamp for adventure, but you must bring me. And you have to be like we promise, Once the situation is critical, you can leave us and get out on your own."

Ryan shook his head slightly, he stopped what Adams was about to say with his eyes, and said: "I have no habit of abandoning my companions. I will take you with you, and then bring you back with you. Please rest assured, my risk is To improve strength, not to die."
