Ryan was shocked by the scene in front of him. He stared blankly at the thick and talkative wind wolf, with an expression of disbelief on his face.
Seeing Ryan's look, the stout wind wolf seemed to understand something. It made a very humane action, raised its hands, shrugged its shoulders, and said, "I'm sorry, I was negligent." Then, the stout wind wolf's The body made a "crackling" sound, and its body shape began to change. It slowly lost its thick white wolf fur and turned into a young man of about 25 years old.
Ryan watched the stout wind wolf transform in front of his eyes, and suddenly an idea flashed in his head, and he said loudly: "Druid!"
The transformed young man said in surprise: "I didn't expect that you actually know Druid."
Ryan recalled what Delanai once said when telling him the history of the continent: "Druids are actually a sect. It is composed of a group of peace-loving people, and its members are close to nature. Just Just like every Holy Knight is a believer in the God of War, every member of the Druid is a devout believer in the Goddess of Nature. They can choose a natural monster to strengthen their body and give themselves the power to fight against evil. strength.
200 years ago, the evil undead army invaded the continent of Esrael. In order to maintain the balance of nature, the druids also joined the Holy Alliance. In the Sunrise Battle, the three most powerful druid elders jointly cast the forbidden spell "Oasis of Life" at the cost of their lives. In the realm created by this forbidden spell, all life will flourish and everything will be filled with infinite vitality. The lichs of the Undead Legion can no longer maintain the skeleton warriors, which completely negates the numerical and supply advantages of the Undead Legion.
The coalition forces charged against the Undead Legion and entered the command center of the Undead Legion. Under the spotlight, the human hero Bird Fernando, the dwarf king Bloodaxe and the elf spiritual leader Moon Shadow join forces to fight against the leader of the undead army, the evil demon Aleister Caslavin.
After a hard fight, the coalition forces won the final victory.
After that time, the druids' footprints spread all over the continent of Esrael to prevent the evil undead army from coming back. "
Thinking of this, Ryan showed a kind smile to the young man in front of him and invited him to sit with him by the campfire. The druid young man did not refuse and sat beside the bonfire with Ryan.
Ryan was about to speak, but his stomach suddenly made a "gurgling" sound, so he had to smile awkwardly.
The druid young man smiled kindly and said, "So you are hungry too."
Ryan's face suddenly turned red.
The druid young man whistled at the wind wolf that was walking with him just now. The three wind wolves immediately answered him with a long howl, then turned and disappeared into the woods.
Ryan was a little curious about the behavior of the druid young man, but he had just made a fool of himself and was a little embarrassed to speak.
The Druid young man said generously: "My name is Alando, and as you know, I am a Druid." Ryan quickly introduced himself and said: "Lyan, a magic apprentice."
Allendo said: "I saw the badge on your chest, but I didn't expect you to be a dual-line magic apprentice."
Ryan replied: "This one just passed the test this afternoon."
Allen smiled more, and then said: "Ryan, you are really courageous. As a magician, you dare to let me get close when the enemy and I are unknown."
Ryan scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Actually, I have blessed myself with stone skin."
Allen was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that the badge of the young man in front of him seemed to only indicate that he was a dual-element magician of fire and arcana. This stone-skin technique was an earth-element magic. It seemed that Ryan's strength was far more than what he showed.
Ryan had no doubts about Allendo at all, so he heard Teacher Delanai say that if a druid becomes corrupted in his heart, he will lose the ability to transform into a monster and fight. Since the boy in front of him has the ability to transform into a monster, then he has nothing to worry about.
Ever since he left the Druid's village, Allendo has been alone for many years, walking in the wilderness and never appearing in places where humans gather. Except for a few of his wind wolf companions, he almost never talked to anyone. This was also a means for every druid to practice hard.
But Alando was also very curious about the magician he met today. Because on the continent of Eslar, magicians do have powerful magical power, but because it takes a while for them to cast this power, most magicians will not take risks alone. Obviously, the young magic apprentice in front of him broke Alando's cognition and aroused his strong curiosity.
The two of you were talking to each other, and the atmosphere gradually became lively.
After a while, the sound of "wow" came again. Ryan looked towards the source of the sound and saw Allendo's three wind wolves dragging a Warcraft over.
Alando smiled and said, "It looks like we have a good meal to enjoy."
Just as he was talking, the three wind wolves had already dragged the captured prey to the bonfire. Due to the wolf's natural fear of flames, the wind wolf seemed a little uneasy and kept whispering at Alando. Allen waved his hand, and the three wind wolves slowly walked to the side and lay quietly on the ground.
Ryan volunteered and said, "I'll do it." He took a closer look at the monster on the ground. It turned out to be a mountain antelope. There were teeth marks on the antelope's neck and body. It should have been bitten by the wind wolf, and the blood had long been shed. It's almost done, so the ground looks cleaner.
Ryan grabbed the antelope's neck, supported the antelope's body with his other hand, lifted the antelope above his head, carried it on his shoulders, and walked towards the creek next to it. Soon, Ryan skillfully washed and skinned the antelope, skewered it with a branch, and smoked it on the bonfire.
Allendo smiled and looked at Ryan's skillful movements, but he was secretly surprised. Ryan effortlessly lifted the mountain antelope weighing a person on his shoulders. If he was a warrior, this would be nothing, but as a It's really rare for a magician to still have such strength. It seems that even if someone approaches Ryan, who is a magician, he might encounter an unexpected "surprise".
Soon, the smell of barbecue wafted out. Feng Lang, who smelled the aroma of meat, suddenly stood up and let out a low roar at Alando. Alando smiled and said, "I know, I won't be without the three of you."
Finally, when Ryan was concentrating on roasting the antelope meat, Allendo couldn't help but swallowed a mouthful of saliva. It seemed that Ryan's cooking skills were very good, and it seemed that his teammates would be very happy.
Ryan used a dagger to cut off the four legs of the antelope, gave one of the hind legs to Alando, and then threw the other three to the wind wolf aside. The wind wolf immediately pounced on it, picked up the antelope leg and ran to the side to chew it.
Allendo was not humble and picked up the antelope leg and bit into it. Ryan took the dagger, cut off the antelope meat, put it into his mouth and ate it slowly.
It seemed that everyone was hungry. Under the moonlight, the two and three wolves were all concentrating on their food. In the quiet woods, there was the sound of teeth biting food.
Everyone was satisfied with this meal. Ryan ate several large pieces of spine meat, and Alando ate an entire hind leg. The appetite of the three wind wolves was even more astonishing. The rest of the antelope meat was dragged away, not even a single bone was left.
This move completely eliminated the strangeness between Ryan and Alando, and the two people laughed together face to face.
After laughing, Alan asked curiously how Ryan cooked the barbecue to produce such delicious food.
Ryan said with a smile: "My teacher took me on adventures in the Hengduan Mountains many times, and he taught me a lot of skills in this area. In fact, my skills are only average compared to my teacher, and his grilled meat is more delicious." .”
After a few more compliments, Allen asked again: "Ryan, do you have any plans for taking risks?"
Ryan told Alando in detail about his completion of the coming-of-age ceremony trial.
After listening to this, Allen said to Ryan: "Every adult member of our druid will come out to perform penance to increase his own strength and also look for traces of the evil undead army. I left the Druid village It's been five years. In the past five years, I have had almost no contact with outsiders. I just wandered in the wilderness with my companions." As he spoke, Allen pointed at the wind wolf lying lazily aside, and then continued: " I gradually felt the disadvantages of this isolation. Whether it was to inquire about information or fight against evil, I almost had to rely on myself, unless I was lucky enough to meet another druid. In fact, in the human world, , there has long been a very good solution, that is, mercenaries. But I have lived far away from the world since I was a child. I only have companions who train with me, but I have never had a real friend. I am inevitably afraid of interacting with others. ."
At this point, Allen sighed.
Ryan nodded slowly. He deeply understood Allendo's mood. Walking alone for many years without a companion will make people feel lonely.
Allendo continued: "Ryan, we druids have been with Warcraft all year round, and we all have an intuition that can feel the hearts of others. From the time I met you to now, I can be completely sure that you are a kind person. , so I decided to join you in this year’s Royal Athletic Competition. I think, as a magician, you wouldn’t mind having an extra druid as your companion, right? I wonder if I can do that?”
Ryan couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard Allen Duo's words, and said quickly: "Okay. You are welcome to join."
Ryan was happy because he finally found his first companion for the Royal Tournament. I believe that the addition of Allendo will bring him one step closer to achieving his goal.
For three consecutive days, Ryan and Allendo were carefully studying cooperation tactics.
Generally speaking, the magic of a magician is very powerful, but it takes a while to cast. Therefore, a strong comrade is needed to stand between the magician and the enemy, prevent the enemy from approaching the magician, and provide valuable opportunities for the magician to cast magic. time. When teammates are fighting, especially the soldiers fighting on the front line, they are easily injured, so they need a priest to treat them. When resting and investigating the enemy's situation, the team needs a thief, and he can also solve troubles such as traps and mechanisms encountered during the adventure.
Therefore, in an adventurer team, having a warrior, a thief, a mage, and a priest is relatively balanced and can deal with almost all kinds of situations. Of course, this is not absolute. A well-trained knight can also do the job of a warrior, and can even serve as a half-priest to provide help to the team members.
Ryan and Allen discussed the cooperation issues carefully. Allen's transformation from human form to Warcraft Wind Wolf took a very short time, even less than 1 second. Allendo transforms into a rear wolf and possesses amazing speed. With his rapid strikes, he can distract the enemy, thus buying time for Ryan to cast his magic.
Ryan demonstrated all the magic he could use one by one. Faced with teammates who had to face danger or even death together, there was nothing to hide about his abilities. He could understand each other's strength in depth and detail, which was very useful at critical moments. of.
After practicing, Ryan found out somewhat helplessly that his fireball technique was relatively powerful and could easily injure Allendo accidentally. However, single-target lightning spells and magic missiles can better cooperate with Alan Duo. Ryan couldn't help but regret that he tested the fire magic. If he had known this, he might as well have said that he was an electric and arcane magician.
Allen Duo comforted Ryan. After all, the fireball technique is extremely lethal and can often achieve good results in melees. As long as you control the power of the fireball technique a little and don't make yourself the center of the explosion, with Allen Duo's strength after transformation , just being burned by the scattered flames is not a big problem. Anyway, Allendo himself has a lot of research on herbal medicine. When the time comes, he will prepare some healing potions and drink them, and he will be fine.
Ryan knew that Allen was comforting himself, and he also remembered what Teacher Delanai said: As a magician, instead of pursuing endless power, it is better to learn how to use the power you have to the maximum extent. He secretly made up his mind to find a way to effectively kill the enemy without accidentally injuring Allendo.
As a druid, Allendo is very good at surviving in nature. He can hide and sneak in the jungle so that Ryan can't find his trace at all. I believe he can also be qualified to work as an excellent scout. . What's more, the three wind wolves are members of nature. With their help, I believe the whole adventure will be much easier.
Although Ryan can't be like Allen Duo, after all, he has learned martial arts with Jialib for many years, and has followed Galib into the depths of the Hengduan Mountains many times. He still has some experience in surviving in the wild. Now he has Allen Duo's skills. With guidance, Ryan also learned how to lurk in the jungle. As long as he didn't move, it would be difficult for Allen to find Ryan.
Three days passed with countless discussions, rehearsals, summaries, and rehearses between the two.
At the beginning, Ryan and Alando cooperated very well, and they often interfered with each other. Often when Ryan passed by with magic, Alando appeared at the place where the magic hit. Fortunately, Ryan deliberately reduced the power of magic, and in addition Allendo also prepared a lot of healing potions himself, so nothing happened. But slowly, the cooperation between the two became better and better, and they were almost in sync with each other. Allendo was able to block the sight of the imaginary enemy first, and then suddenly get out of the way when Ryan cast lightning spell on himself, leaving the enemy no time. Dodge Ryan's magic. Coupled with the warning, harassment, siege and other tactics of the three wind wolves, except for some small details that need to be paid attention to, it is almost ready for a real adventure.
In this case, Ryan proposed to go to the Mercenary Guild in Alpha City the next day to test the results of the two people in the past three days with a real adventure. Allendo readily agreed.
After a good night's rest, Ryan and Alando arrived at the Mercenary Guild in Alpha early the next day. Originally, Alando didn't want to enter Alpha, but Ryan insisted that Alando follow him so that he could have more opportunities to contact others. Alando had no choice but to follow Ryan into the mercenary guild.
Seeing that the young magician from a few days ago came to the mercenary guild again, the mercenaries in the guild hall couldn't help but talk about it. The mercenaries who were present yesterday talked about what they saw and heard to their companions, as if they were He personally participated in that fierce battle.
Ryan pretended not to care about this and walked directly to the mercenary mission processing desk, preparing to inquire about the relevant mercenary missions.
It was still Lucy who was in front of the check-in desk. She saw that the young magician came to the mercenary guild again a few days ago, and she quickly greeted him in a more enthusiastic tone. And took out the 50 gold coins for the bounty on Scar and handed it to Ryan. It turned out that the Alpha City Mercenary Guild had sent people to dig up Scar's body at the place mentioned by Ryan, which proved what Flanner said. When Scar's body was transported back to Alpha City, Ryan, who independently eliminated Scar's group of thieves, became a household name in Alpha City.
Ryan accepted the gold coin without hesitation. This was what he deserved. Ryan decided to take on another bounty mission like this. With the help of Lucy, I carefully looked through all the mercenary tasks issued by Alfacheng, and decided to take on the task of eliminating thieves. This mission was issued by the mayor of a town called Sheephorn, which is about two days away from Alpha City. It had been attacked by a group of thieves before and suffered heavy losses. When the Alpha City garrison led 50 soldiers to station While there, the thieves disappeared. As soon as the garrison officer left, the thieves continued to harass them. The defense officer of Alfa City was troubled by this, so he took out a bounty and asked the mayor of the town to issue the task of eliminating thieves.
However, although this mission has been released for a short period of time, no mercenary dares to take it. Even the thieves who can't do anything to the Alfa City garrison must be very cunning. They can deal with them by themselves. Maybe they can do it while sleeping at night. Lives were lost. Although 200 gold coins make people greedy, in comparison, no matter how many gold coins you have, you still have to spend your life, right
