Alando was completely shocked by Ryan's words. He didn't expect Ryan to learn magic in this way. In this way, as long as Ryan can still think, he can slowly recover his magic power. Ryan's way of learning magic is actually more like learning martial arts, mastering the skills through practice. But isn’t it true that Ryan’s unpracticed magic is completely incompetent? If so, the price he paid was also very high, because he gave up most of the other magics in order to specialize in a small part of magic!
Alando implicitly pointed this out.
Ryan said disapprovingly: "I am very satisfied that I have been able to achieve this step in a few years. Besides, it's not that I can't learn new magic, it just requires more hard work. I believe that when my magic ability becomes If I am stronger, I will be able to cast more powerful magic. Besides, I have no use for many magics, so why bother to learn them?"
Allen asked: "Every magic has its own effect. Your shortcomings are too obvious. If you are caught by your opponent, you will be in trouble."
Ryan smiled and said: "If I were a pure magician, this would definitely not work. But don't forget, I have another identity."
Allen nodded. Yes, Ryan, who plays two roles, can indeed draw on his strengths to offset his weaknesses. Using martial arts to protect oneself and magic to attack the enemy is really a crazy and genius idea. Someone actually taught such a disciple!
Ryan added: "For example, the fire-based bright fire magic was originally used for lighting. But I don't need it, I can still lurk in the darkness. The magician who casts the bright fire will become my target. And those who want to get close to magicians will definitely regret their choice, and my shadow will let them know that magicians do not 'only' cast magic."
Allen sat down and thought calmly. Ryan was indeed the best choice. In fact, it is difficult for a simple magician to take risks alone. He needs someone to protect his fragile body. How could Ryan, who was born as a hunter, do this? Besides, it's not like Ryan can't go further. Once his magical abilities improve, it would be nice to spend more time 'remembering' the new magic. Moreover, Ryan's magic power is now very strong. After giving up many things, people can go further. Isn't Ryan a good example
It was also the first time that Ryan talked about his secret with others. After saying what he had been holding in his heart for many years, he felt a lot more comfortable.
Alando stretched out his hands and held Ryan tightly, feeling moved by Ryan's trust in him.
Ryan patted the back of Allen's hand and said: "Allen, don't think too much. I believe that there will be a day when our strength will be fully reflected. But now, aren't we just able to increase the number with the Leisi team? My own experience?”
Alando nodded and said, "Yes. The great elder once said something similar. As long as a seed is alive, sooner or later it will take root and sprout and grow into a towering tree with lush branches and leaves!"
The next day, Ryan and Allendo got up early as usual, but because there was no large open space in the city of Hermida, the two just practiced in the room.
Ryan and Alando stood face to face, one step apart, and could hit each other with one move of their hands. The practice method is also very simple. Allendo continuously attacks Ryan, while Ryan can only use protective magic.
This kind of practice allows Allen to take full advantage of his fast speed, and also allows Ryan to practice defense after being closely followed by a warrior.
In the end the two ended up tied.
If Alando's attack speed is faster, Ryan's protection will be exhausted before Ryan casts the next magic, and he will directly attack Ryan's body; if Ryan moves faster, he will gain himself the opportunity to release offensive magic. Time, at his current speed, he can only cast Stoneskin and Mirror Shadow alternately to defend against Alando's attack.
The exercise ended up being a war of attrition between the two men to see who could take longer.
At this point, there was no need to continue the fight. The two laughed and stopped together.
After briefly tidying up, Ryan and Allendo walked to the hotel lobby, only to see Faras and the others already sitting at the dining table.
Seeing Ryan and the others coming, Faras waved his hand and said, "Lian, Alando, this way."
In fact, even if Faras didn't shout, Ryan could easily see them, so they were the only guests in the entire hotel.
The members of the Leisi team sat together and enjoyed their own breakfast.
After breakfast, Faras picked up a napkin, wiped her mouth, and called the hotel owner over.
The skinny hotel owner walked up to Faras and bowed his body slightly. Faras asked: "What happened in Elmida City recently?"
The skinny innkeeper said: "Except for the merchants who purchase copper ore, almost no one else comes here. How can there be anything new?"
Faras said: "How did I hear that something big happened here? It is said that many people are missing."
The skinny hotel owner trembled at the corner of his mouth and said quickly: "No, I don't know."
Faras took out a bulging money bag from his arms, grabbed a handful of gold coins from it, threw it on the table, and said to the skinny innkeeper: "Look, we are the only guests in the whole hotel. No one else will know. We are just curious and want to know more. If you are willing to tell, these gold coins will be yours."
The skinny hotel owner had a hesitant look on his face. It was obvious that he was attracted by the money, but he was still a little worried.
Red casually cast a small blessing of light, and a surge of courage spontaneously emerged in the heart of the skinny innkeeper. Faras struck while the iron was hot and said: "We are outsiders, and things here are very expensive. How many days can we stay? You can take these gold coins." Go, if we don’t tell you, if you don’t tell us, who will know? You don’t even have to pay taxes.”
The skinny innkeeper mustered up his courage, grabbed the gold coins that Faras had thrown on the table, and put them into his arms. He looked around and saw no outsiders, and ordered a few of his guys out, then whispered in Faras's ear: "This person has not been missing for a day or two. It was as early as two months ago. People are missing. But the weird thing is, the number is about the same every day.”
Faras asked: "Do you know how they disappeared? Logically speaking, these are poor miners. Who would kidnap them?"
The skinny hotel owner had a look of fear in his eyes, and he said cautiously: "Who would kidnap them? I heard that the demons wandering in the darkness took them away."
Farasi asked: "Devil? Who spread this statement?"
The skinny hotel owner said, "It's Jessie, that little girl."
"Jessie?"
"Yes." The skinny hotel owner said, "That's her. Two months ago, her brother also disappeared. Jessie said it was a few demons wandering in the dark that did it, but no one would believe this. They all thought it was the little girl's whims and did not take her words to heart. However, more and more people were missing, and this theory was spread again. The city lord was very angry when he heard it, and ordered that no more people be allowed to go missing. Talk. So no one dared to talk anymore. They just stayed at home after dark at night and no one dared to go out."
Red interjected, "Where can I find this Jessie?"
The skinny hotel owner said: "Her family lives in the west of the city, but all the houses there are similar and it's not easy to find. But you can ask yourself. Jessie's brother used to be a very famous celebrity there. Lux also transports the most copper ore every day, and everyone there knows him."
Farasi and Red looked at each other and felt that this Jessie was the key to the whole matter.
The skinny hotel owner saw that Faras didn't ask any more questions, and quickly left holding the gold coins on his chest.
Farasi said softly: "Let's go find this Jessie now."
