Chronicles of Ryan the Wizard

A lonely star was looming among the dark clouds in the night sky, and a cool breeze blew past the treetops, stunned a few owls, and broke the silence in the forest.

"Damn it!" Two dwarf warriors picked up their axes and walked through the mountains and forests. As a dwarf clan, they have the talent of "dark vision", which allows them to see the surrounding environment clearly even with a little light. Therefore, when patrolling at night, there is no need to use torches like humans do.

"Guckoo! Guckoo!" A bearded dwarf drank a few sips of ale, and then wiped it with his sleeve at random. As a result, his front was full of wine pulp, but the dwarf warrior didn't care. He put the wine pouch away. , Said to his companion: "Hey, your daughter is about to get married, right?"

"Yeah!" The dwarf warrior next to him got a lot of excitement when he mentioned his lovely daughter. He wore a funny hat on his head. He had already picked up the wine pouch in his hand, but he didn't drink immediately. Instead, he said happily: "Just next month, but His Majesty has not returned, I think there is probably no way to invite him to host it personally."

"Oh, it's not very peaceful recently. I heard that a civil war has broken out on the human side, and the undead army that hasn't appeared in 200 years has also appeared. Maybe it won't be long before we will once again send out to fight with our allies. ." said the bearded dwarf.

The two dwarves who patrolled the mountains said as they walked, they would have to walk at least an hour on the mountain road to get back to the Rock Fortress. The plants and trees here are already familiar to them, and they will not appear even if they close their eyes. Any difference.

"Huh?" The bearded dwarf stopped abruptly. He stared at a clearing not far away with a strange look. It should be part of a dense forest. How could someone cut down those tall trees now? It is really weird to deliberately clear a large area of ​​open space.

The bearded dwarves greeted their companions and walked over together. When they were on the clearing, they realized that the ground here was not smooth. There were countless traces vaguely drawn on the ground, as if someone scribbled something on it. general.The dwarf with the funny hat froze for a moment, and said to the bearded companion beside him: "This, this is like a magic circle, but I remember that none of our dwarves are good at this?"

"Is it made by humans or elves?" The bearded dwarf said here, suddenly seeing a shadow behind his companion, he immediately reminded him in shock, "Be careful..."

The words of the bearded dwarf only stop here, because a pair of sharp claws have passed through his neck, and he knelt to the ground with his throat in pain, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t breathe anymore. Any air.While in a trance, the bearded dwarf saw his companion had his throat cut by a bone. He finally understood what had happened, but unfortunately fell into eternal sleep.

The weird magic spell was recited softly, and two black balls appeared in the palm of a lich wearing a gray robe. After completing the magic, the lich waved his bone arm to separate the two balls. He threw it at the dwarf mountain-watcher who fell to the ground and was bleeding. The latter's body immediately showed a large area of ​​ulceration after touching the black "corrosion orb", and yellow pus gushed out quickly, flowing in On the ground, a pungent, unpleasant smell soon appeared in the air.A few minutes later, the bodies of the two dwarf mountain rangers were melted into a puddle of yellow water by evil magic, and finally slowly penetrated into the mud.

More than a dozen dark shadows reappeared in the middle of the clearing. Each of them was dressed in black lich robes. The gray-robed lich who had dealt with the accident saluted these black-robed liches and killed them. The giant skeletal golems of the two dwarves continued to be on guard, and the black-robed liches did not pay attention to their companions at all. They really did not have time to distract now, because the entire magic circle had reached the most critical moment.

This is part of the entire attack plan of the Lich Lord Nicholas. In order to ensure that the dwarves cannot send a message for help to their allies in time, Nicholas’ undead army has sent a large number of men to sneak into the vicinity of the dwarven city. They are arranged in a certain position A large number of magic circles, once these magic circles are successfully deployed and activated, they will have a huge impact on the city of the dwarves. The most direct point is to interfere with the stability of the time and space teleportation magic circles, making it impossible for the dwarves to use this method and allies. Contact, as for the rescue squad sent by the dwarves, Nicholas also arranged enough men to snipe them, so that the entire attack must achieve a sudden goal, so as to achieve the goal of combat in one go.

After several consecutive days and nights of hard work, the entire magic circle is almost complete. Each of the hundreds of large and small magic circle is hosted by the black-robed lich personally. During the day, they will be enveloped by a layer of illusion. Passing the dwarf's sight, as for the accidental intruder at night, naturally, like the two dwarf mountain rangers just now, they died as violently. When the dwarves sensed that they did not conduct a large-scale search, the undead army would have launched an attack.

"What? Cassano didn't rush north? Ryan and others were still staying in Tekken Castle, and the three adult red dragons flew over Cassano every day to show off their power?" Nicholas was confused by this series of circumstances, it I remember that I had already spread the corresponding news. Why didn't Ryan have the desperate rescue emperor this time?Could it be that he was aware of his intentions?Or did you make the most correct choice?

"If Ryan and the others don't go north, it will not take more than 4 hours to fly the red dragon from Cassano to Black Rock Mountain at full speed. No, our surprise attack time must be changed. I can't risk failure!" Nicholas said slightly. There was a rush, and it said to the several red-robed liches in front of it, "What do you think?"

The liches under the demigod witches distinguish the power class by the color of their costumes. Among them, the gray robe is the worst, the black robe is strong enough to stand alone, and the few red-robed witches are all the most powerful assistants. , Each of them was carefully selected by the demigod lich, both in strength and talent, and similar to the descendants of dragon veins like Catherine, except that they were not explicitly accepted as students by Kongs.This time Nicholas occupied Senat's body and brought four of them at one time. This can be said to be unprecedented for the Legion of Undead.

"Nicholas, when we set up the magic circle, we have already cleaned up dozens of small crawlers one after another. If the time of the surprise attack changes, it's easy to expose our army's intentions."

"I agree! And I don't think we need to worry too much about Ryan's threats, our strength is not inferior to them."

"No, Nicholas's power is enough to deal with that Ryan, and the Elf Queen can only play a supporting role, not to mention that she is not in Cassano now, we have always had the advantage in strength. It is just that now there are three adults on Ryan's side. Red dragon, this is the most troublesome, because we can't guess what the dragons mean."

"I object! I think the surprise attack is fast. We must cooperate with the'friends' of the other world. As long as we can open the channel between this plane and the other world, we can pay the necessary price. As for the human legendary mage and his friend , I suggest making Sandreu’s offensive more violent. If necessary, you can let it sacrifice twelve black-robed liches to open up the void passage again, as long as you dispatch another 20 Frost Bone Dragons and 300 Dark Rune Knights. , I believe that the pressure on the imperial capital will make all humans nervous, so that they can mobilize their strength."

The four red-robed liches each stated their opinions. They did not argue with each other, but only shared their thoughts for Nicholas' reference. The Lich Lord Nicholas pondered for a while before he said: "The attack time remains unchanged. However, we must strengthen the blockade of the dwarves and delay this news for at least 5 to 7 days. This time should be enough for us to break through the dwarves’ defense system. In addition, I will deploy heavy troops on Cassano’s only way to aid the dwarves, If he does come to the rescue, even they will be killed together. If Ryan comes personally, I will take action against him. Okay, I will allocate it..."

Ryan stood on the tallest building in Iron Fist Castle, which was the top of his spire magic tower. There was a small platform for people to browse the surrounding scenery.Ryan silently watched the long line at his feet. It was just a rough estimate. Today, more than 3,000 people participated in the selection of magic apprentices. The entire line was sent from the castle gate to the north gate of the new city. Quite spectacular.

With the vigorous publicity and promotion of Ryan, Victor, and others, the knowledge and knowledge of magic in mainland China is no longer as unfamiliar as before. Many people even know some superficial magic spells, such as "lighting". Kind of, although the vast majority of people have no way to truly release, but from this point of view, the popularity of magic in the human world is indeed getting wider and wider.

Of course, Ryan is very happy about the situation at hand, but he also has a concern because Cassano’s population base is too small. In the past several selections, almost all people with magical talents After being selected, it is naturally much more difficult to choose more magic apprentices from those who have been repeatedly selected, and because of Ryan’s fame, many people blindly pursue the path of magic without regard to themselves. Do you really have magic talent? Just blindly emphasize diligence and practice, which often results in half the effort. This kind of bad sign has also appeared. Although there are not many cases, Ryan is already thinking about ways to calm the promotion of magic belt. The impetuous mood came.
