Chronicles of Ryan the Wizard

After listening to Paul's explanation, Ryan pondered for a moment and said, "I don't have the habit of doing things halfway, but my patience is not very good!"

"Seven days, I only need seven days!" Paul categorically gave a time limit: "If I can't contact the maid next to the master within 7 days, then I will leave it to you!"

Ryan didn't speak, but nodded reservedly, which was regarded as agreeing to Paul, who bowed deeply towards him and then turned and left the room.When there were only three people left in the room, he turned his head and said to Ticilis, who was sitting in the corner of the room, “I’m very surprised, why you want me to give him time to do some useless things. In fact, tonight I can directly protect you back to Fort Ticirina!"

Ticilis walked slowly to Ryan, sat on a chair, and said in a slightly bitter tone: "Actually, I don't know who among those subordinates can be trusted."

"Oh?"

Ticilis sighed and laid a map flat on the table. Ryan and Farasi gathered around together, listening to Ticilis slowly explaining: "This is the entire eastern region, but I can Only one-third of the area is directly ruled. The other parts are either the fiefs of other families, or are some vassal kingdoms, principalities, and tribes. Of course, many of them are quite desolate areas occupied by rebels."

"There are ten huge families in the entire empire, and our royal family is naturally ranked first. When the empire expanded greatly to the outside world, it had entrusted the border lands many times, and then let these lords manage them on their own. After the expansion of the foundation, a new round of offensive will be launched. After a long period of time, although the territory of the empire is getting bigger and bigger, the lords of the ten major families are intertwined. This of course allows everyone to monitor each other and avoid a certain family. After sitting for a short time, he challenged the imperial majesty, but it also caused the dispersion of his own strength."

"In the entire eastern region, there are a total of 400,000 elite Nagas troops, 700,000 ordinary soldiers, and 1.1 million local guards. Among the more than 2 million soldiers, I can directly control no more than 600,000. Among them, the really useful one is the Ti The 100,000 elites in the Celina Fortress, as well as the 60,000 elites deployed in the Seren Fortress in the northeast, and the 70,000 elites stationed in several fortresses in the southern Nalenas area. The empire has no external warfare, but Seren The fortress is responsible for defending against the invasion of barbaric lobstermen and Lorca murlocs outside the territory. This army cannot move at all. As for the Nalenas area in the south, it is a frequent area for rebel activities, not the 70,000 elite forcibly. Suppress, I'm afraid that my territory will be on fire a long time ago."

"In this case, I can suppress other families and control the entire territory, all relying on the 100,000 elite fighters stationed in Tishrina Fortress. In order to ensure that this force absolutely obeys my orders, I promoted 4 generals. Command part of the army separately, and consciously increase their disharmony with each other, so that you don’t have to worry about them uniting against me, but now three of these four generals have joined forces to seal up my Ocean Goddess Chamber of Commerce... "

"So you are worried that they will be unfavorable to you when they unite?" Faras asked, "So you obviously have returned safely, but you are still hiding in the dark, just to see if they will not show up in the end. What are you showing?"

"Yes." Ticilis replied: "If I am alone, then I will definitely return to Ticilia without hesitation. As for the traitor that may exist in the subordinates, and the thoughts of these generals, I can only put it in my heart and say it slowly. But now that I’m back with you and Ryan, two legendary powerhouses, I can rest assured in safety, even if these generals move more heavily, we can suppress them with force. After all They are all elite soldiers of the empire, deceiving them from attacking Paul’s caravan. It is okay to seal the Ocean Goddess Chamber of Commerce, if they blatantly let them attack my lord, I believe they will not have the courage!"

When it comes to these power struggles, Faras is no stranger. She can be regarded as a family with a wealth of knowledge. In addition, she has been an outstanding politician for several years between the imperial capital and Catherine, so she asked. "Then what is your plan?"

"That’s what I think. First of all, we can’t just watch the developments, because I don’t have enough time, so we have to..." Ticilis said her inner thoughts, and then Faras joined the discussion with Ticili Si thought about it over and over again, trying to make every step perfect, but what Ryan disliked the most was this aspect, so he walked out of the room with a wry smile.

Ryan and the others temporarily live in a manor outside the city of Etire Sac. The wealthy people in the city usually buy a piece of land here and then build a villa for vacation. With Paul’s wealth and status, it is impossible The reason why Ryan was able to live in here to purchase properties is because this manor is one of Ticilis’ secret residences, from the teleportation circle in the city of Saluofin to the many routes along the way, and then to Eti The many footholds inside and outside the city of Ressac were arranged by Ticilis in advance.Paul didn’t doubt anything about this. As a member of the Fei Lingcui family, Feilan, who Tisiris disguised, had such a family property outside Etire Sac, because it was in Eti Reza. About 500 kilometers southeast of Kecheng, there is Linganxuya Castle, one of the few three fiefs of the Feilingcui family in the east.

After leaving the yard, Ryan wandered boringly in the open space of the manor. It was already the early morning of the underwater world. Ryan came here not a short period of time, and gradually learned to feel the temperature of the sea to judge the time, but because He is still not accustomed to immersing his whole body in seawater, so he always blessed himself with a waterproof barrier when he was outside. This time he went out to hang out and it was no exception. Of course, to avoid being too public, Ryan still wore one on his body. Full body cloak.

This manor really deserves to be the residence of the rich. The whole manor is a flat open space without any reefs, seaweeds and other obstacles that block the line of sight. If someone is unfavorable here, the wide view can be noticed in advance. Celis didn't care less for this secret stronghold.Ryan looked into the distance, through this clearing, and the large amount of seaweed in the wasteland between the two manors, vaguely saw that there seemed to be many people coming in and out of another manor several kilometers away. Moving things, it is estimated that most of the owners of the manor came over for vacation.

Because it didn’t matter to him, Ryan was too lazy to watch. He just wandered around his manor at will. He had hardly left Seahorse for half a month before, which caused Ryan to suffer a bit. I haven’t been so lucky for many years, especially after becoming a legendary powerhouse. I don’t want to go where there is a team of servants around me, but I can use teleport magic and flying skills to arrive quickly, of course. The area of ​​this underwater world is much larger than that of Lion’s hometown. I don’t know how many times larger it is. If the seahorse is on land at a speed of nearly 100 kilometers per hour, it will only take 2 days from Cassano to the capital. On the map of the eastern region of Sri Lanka, I found that my party was so hard and it was just moving a small area. If you want to go to the easternmost frontier of Ticiris Territory, I’m afraid you have to travel 2 more day and night. month.

"I really don’t know how to describe these Nagas’ enthusiasm for land expansion, such a huge territory, but only an eastern region. Listening to Ticilis’s description, there are as many as 5 administrative regions like this in the entire empire, and The eastern area of ​​Ticiris can only be ranked fourth in terms of area, just above the central area." Ryan said to himself in his heart: "If you must learn from it, I really admire them. Canadians can continue the tradition for such a long period of time. We humans seem to be completely unable to compare with them. Speaking of which, our humans’ favorite thing to do is to destroy traditions. I don’t seem to do such things less. , Haha."

When Ryan thought about the end, he couldn't help but laugh, and then he continued walking forward with his hands on his back. When he came to a lush seaweed on the border of the manor, Ryan suddenly felt that there was an extremely weak breath hidden in the seaweed. In the depths, this breath is too weak. If it weren't for Ryan's strength, I'm afraid he wouldn't notice it at all. He stopped and shouted at the seaweed bush: "Who is it? Come out for me!"

The dense seaweed moved, and then a Naga child crawled out of it. This young Naga was a female, very cute. She was wearing a gorgeous costume, but because of the seaweed It was because of crawling around that this costume became tattered, but Little Naga didn't care about it at all. She looked at Ryan with a tilted head and asked: "Hey, how could you find me? I just hold my breath, even Uncle Watson can't find it!"

Ryan saw that standing in front of him was just a little girl from a noble background. Thinking about the busy servants he saw before, and then looking at the surroundings, Ryan estimated that the little girl in front of him should have been stolen from the busy manor just now. I ran out to play, thinking that even if someone really feels wrong with him here, he wouldn’t let a girl with this identity be a spy, so he didn’t take her to heart, and he didn’t answer the other party’s question, so he just turned around and went back. go.

"Hey, I'm talking to you, how can you turn around impolitely?" The Naga girl saw Ryan ignore her, so she yelled a few words behind him, and when she saw Ryan stopped and turned around After looking at herself, the Nagar girl continued to say: "Is this manor yours? I belong to the manor next door. I will live here for a while. Since we are neighbors, let us get acquainted with each other first. "

Ryan looked up and down the Naga girl standing in front of him, and saw that although she was young and her clothes were in tatters, but between her eyebrows and her speech and manners, she had an elegant temperament. It was obvious that she was of origin. It is definitely not an ordinary aristocratic family, I am afraid it is still the kind of big family with a long history. Ryan believes that it is impossible to develop this kind of temperament without such perennial accumulation and nurturing.If you change the time, Ryan doesn’t mind getting in touch with this kind of nobleman, but now he doesn’t want to get involved, so Ryan said, “As a nobleman, don’t you know that you will enter someone else’s manor without telling you? Is it impolite?"
