The four purple magic missiles drew four different trajectories in the dim woods, and accurately hit four different leaves of four adjacent trees. With a happy expression on his face, Ryan held his hand tightly. He tightened his fist and waved it hard in the air. He succeeded. He really did it.
"Eat something." Allendo's voice rang in his ears. Ryan turned his head and suddenly saw a bonfire burning not far away. Allendo and Flanner were sitting beside the bonfire. There was an unknown beast roasting on top, and the aroma slowly drifted into Ryan's nose.
"Okay." Ryan nodded excitedly. He stretched out and walked towards Alando, but after taking a few steps, his movements stiffened because he saw One person, yes, it was the Grimm Magician. This poor guy was now tied tightly with a rope, and a large ball of stuff was stuffed into his mouth.
"Ah." Ryan then remembered that he seemed to be fighting the Grimm magician. Why was he suddenly obsessed with the study of magic? Ryan punched himself a few times in frustration. This was absolutely not the case. What a mistake he should have made. His joy after studying magic was filled with self-blame.
"Haha, Ryan, come here quickly." Flanner saw Ryan's face changing from joy to annoyance, and said in time: "Come and try Allen Duo's craftsmanship, it smells really good, oh , speaking of which, this is my first time eating it.”
Ryan walked to the bonfire in a few steps and sat down next to Xiaobai who was lying lazily on the ground.
"Yes... yes... no..." Ryan scratched the back of his head hard. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say. He could only stutter and apologize to Allendo and Flanner.
Before Ryan could finish his words, he was interrupted by Alando, who smiled and said to Ryan: "Don't feel regretful or apologetic, Ryan, my brother, I know why you are like this. Maybe it's really not true." It should be, but it has already happened after all." After saying that, Allen tore off one of his front legs and handed it to Ryan: "Eat first, I'll talk about anything later. You haven't eaten for almost a whole day. Alright."
After hearing what Allen said, Ryan remembered that he had only eaten some bacon and toast when he got up in the morning. When it was almost noon, what happened to Green and the others made him really hungry. He took Ai Londo handed him his front leg, took a big bite, and then jumped up.
"It's so hot, so hot." Ryan took out the water bag from his body and took a sip of water. Who told him not to pay attention? The freshly baked food was still dripping with fat, so he actually took a bite.
"Haha." Allendo and Flanner showed kind smiles. Flanner took the other front leg handed to him by Allendo, blew it hard, and took a bite carefully. Throwing a hind leg to Xiaobai, Xiaobai bit it and began to bite. Now Xiaobai and Allendo have a good understanding of each other. They no longer have to hide when eating like when they were just subdued. Yes,
Allendo picked up the last leg and started eating it slowly. The only sounds left in the whole forest were the "crackling" sound of the bonfire burning and the sound of everyone chewing food.
After enjoying a delicious meal, Ryan touched the blisters on his mouth and said to Ellendo and Flanner: "There is no need to explain too much. I made a mistake that I shouldn't have made. Fortunately, no serious consequences occurred. Although I am the leader, I must be punished if I make a mistake... "
"Don't take it personally, Ryan." Allendo interrupted Ryan's self-examination. He pointed at Green, who was lying aside, unable to speak because something was stuffed in his mouth, but his eyes were wandering around, and he said lightly : "This opponent alone is not qualified to make you use your full strength."
"Don't always regret the past. No matter how you feel about what has happened, it can't be changed. It's better to focus on how to do better in the future. In fact, I don't think this is a big deal. Mistakes, we are not gods, we will inevitably make mistakes. Didn't you say, 'There is no perfect individual, only a perfect team'. We are brothers, and we will naturally take care of each other on the battlefield. How could we turn a blind eye just because of a so-called rule? Seeing your brother injured without interfering, if you have to say something, I think you should calm down now. Don't you think that your biggest mistake today is that you are too enthusiastic about improving your strength? If you still If you can maintain a calm heart, you will defeat your opponent mercilessly, and then think slowly."
Although Alando's words were not loud, Ryan's ears felt like thunder. Yes, he pursued power too much. Since the failure of the Royal Athletic Competition, Ryan's subconscious has gradually been filled with doubts. The desire for power, because his failure in competitive competitions was that his own strength was not as good as his opponents,
This kind of desire is naturally a good thing. After all, without desire and pursuit, there is no motivation to concentrate on studying those boring magics. However, Ryan has ignored a very important point. No matter what aspect Ryan is now, his His strength has far exceeded that of his peers, and even surpassed some magicians who have specialized in magic for decades. A boy who is less than 20 years old has relatively powerful power, but he failed to grasp this power in time, so he What happened today was that people were desperate to increase their strength.
Ryan nodded at Alando, expressing his approval of his words. At the same time, he was secretly glad that Alando was by Ryan's side. Otherwise, he really wouldn't have realized this. These two good friends who fell in love with each other at first sight, each other. There is no need to say too many polite words,
In fact, Ryan's current mentality is still very common among magicians. Generally speaking, if a magician can concentrate on studying and is smart, he will gradually increase his own strength, that is, master More magic, more mana,
As the power of magic increases, magicians will gradually find that the spells that they could not cast with all their efforts before can be used easily and freely, so their hearts are filled with a strong self-confidence. As long as you give me time, I can release the power of destruction to change everything,
However, manpower is always limited. No matter how smart a magician is, no matter how diligent he is in research, he will fall into a bottleneck and find it difficult to continue to improve his strength. At this time, the magician will face an embarrassing situation, and it is natural to give up. It's very possible, but it's difficult to achieve results if you continue. As a result, some magicians will lose their way, forget their original intention of learning magic, and instead embark on a path of blind pursuit of power, because they can no longer give up magic. The teacher's sense of superiority,
Many talented magicians have degenerated into black magicians, and even signed a pact with the devil to use their souls to obtain the ethereal power. There are also very few magicians who will perform an evil spell to transform themselves. As a lich, the lich form does not need to eat or sleep, and has an extremely long life. In a sense, it is really the best form for a mage to specialize in magic.
Ryan's behavior today is entirely caused by this desire for power. Fortunately, Ryan is still very young. He has a year of adventure experience, but this has not changed Ryan's simple and kind heart, and he has not fallen deeply into In his crazy pursuit of power, with the help of his good friend Alan Duo, Ryan successfully passed the crisis caused by his first desire for power in his life.
After solving this matter, Ryan felt a lot more relaxed. Then Flanner's words made him fall into distress again.
"Let me tell you, Captain Lane, this is our first time taking on a mission. What should we do now?" Flanner leisurely pointed at the tied-up Green lying beside him and faced Arman. Ryan said,
Ryan had a wry smile on his face. It seemed that his luck was really not very good. It seemed that the same situation happened the last time he followed the Six Arrows mercenary group to the tomb of the ancient king. That time, Ryan and the others killed him. All opponents, but this time, Ryan really didn’t know whether to do that or not.
This was the first mission of the Ryan Mercenary Group. Could it be that it failed so silently? Ryan was really unwilling to accept it. He grabbed his hair in distress, and he didn't know where his thoughts were drifting.
After much deliberation, Ryan didn't come up with a good idea. He could only say helplessly: "Just bury the dead ones where they are. Let's take these two alive ones back to the mercenary guild and see what they say." , you can’t just accept the mission for the first time and not send it in. Go back and interrogate them carefully and see if they... Oh, by the way, I remember that there are traces of wind blade magic on the tree trunk blocking the road over there. It should be from their last time. It’s best to know the identities of those who died. I think with this evidence, we should be able to make a deal.”
"Okay." Allendo and Flanner nodded in agreement. Although the method Ryan said was not very good, it was indeed a real solution to the problem. The experienced Flanner immediately added: "Why don't we do it overnight? Interrogate them, Ryan, you are in charge of the magician, and Allendo will question the housekeeper, and then compare their words together, so you are not afraid of them telling lies."
"Okay." This time it was Ryan and Alando who answered. Ryan walked to Green, picked up Green by the collar of his magician's robe, and then walked away, while Alando He grabbed Arman and walked out in the opposite direction of Ryan.
Seeing that Ryan and Allen were about to walk away, Flanner took out a dagger, cut off two pieces of meat from the baked food, and threw them to Allen and Ryan respectively. Flanner smiled. Said: "Give them food, if they are willing to behave, otherwise kill them. If you tell the truth honestly, you will at least be free in heaven and dealt with by the law. If you don't tell lies, you will lose your life. This business only requires No fool would do it at a loss."
