Seeing Orlando pick up the water cup to drink, Luke continued to preach: "Now our actual control area in the north is the land centered on the imperial capital, and for those vast territories in the south that are blocked by Senat, we must send people to strengthen The contact with them must not make them turn to Senat. On the one hand, the imperial capital must speed up the reconstruction work and budget carefully for food, otherwise it will be difficult to sustain the harvest next year."
"Yes, Luke." Orlando put down the water glass and nodded: "At the same time, I plan to train half a million troops. These troops will be the new swords of the empire."
Luke took over what Orlando said: "It seems that my task is to provide logistical support."
"I'm sorry to trouble you." Orlando said to Luke, and then said to Catherine: "When my army of 500,000 is trained, I will personally lead an army of 200,000 to go south and regain the territory divided by Senat. "
Catherine looked at Orlando and then at Luke. She thought for a while and said, "You can take care of these things. If you need me to do anything, please just ask."
Luke glanced at Orlando, and then said: "In addition to rebuilding the imperial capital and training the army, there are two other things that are most important. The first is the people's hearts in the imperial capital. Please pay more attention to this, and the other one. ..." Luke hesitated a little when he said this. He looked at Ryan and hesitated to speak.
Orlando would not think about this. He took Luke's words and said: "Now we need someone to go to the south to contact the lords who are loyal to the empire. Whether it is Free Paradise or Moon Moon City, they are a powerful force. With their support , Senat’s power will not expand too quickly to the south.”
Seeing that Orlando had spoken out without reservation, Luke knocked on the table and said, "I estimate that in fact, the forces in Free Paradise and Moon Moon City may not be really loyal to the empire. In the past, they were just forced by reality, but now the influence of the empire It is normal for them to have other ideas. However, if Senat wants to truly confront the empire, he will inevitably expand his power towards the south. This will conflict with those lords, so as long as we can choose a few suitable The messenger will definitely be able to convince them to fight against Senat together."
Ryan saw that Orlando and Luke were looking at him when they said these words. However, he and his party were not qualified to enter here. He immediately understood what they were thinking. He looked at the people around him. Faras, the latter's political consciousness is much higher than that of Ryan. He understood what they meant when Orlando kept explaining the importance of the southern territories.
Seeing that Ryan was asking about his attitude, Faras made a move to make the decision, and after thinking for a few seconds, Ryan said: "You tell me what you want me to do."
When Luke saw Ryan saying this, he felt relieved, and he quickly said: "Of course there is already a candidate for this envoy, but it is not easy to send him to the south quietly. Although we can teleport people to Seawind City through the teleportation magic circle, there is still a long distance from Seawind City to Free Paradise, to Moon Moon City and other places, and once we negotiate with those southern lords, the news will spread quickly , Senat will not sit idly by, so we need a mercenary group strong enough to protect the envoy."
"Why not send troops?" Ryan asked,
"That will cause unnecessary trouble. Those southern lords will even think that we have stretched our hands too far, which will cause unnecessary trouble. If it is a mercenary group, then it is very reasonable. A simple task is You can head to your destination without worrying about the news being leaked.”
After learning about the situation in detail, Ryan was very hesitant. In fact, he didn't really want to get involved in these things. Unfortunately, he couldn't refuse. Because of Farasi's relationship, he had been deeply attached to Luke. Brand, so Ryan agreed reluctantly,
After Ryan agreed, the entire state machinery immediately took action, and all procedures were completed within one day. The Ryan Mercenary Group was originally a mercenary group registered in Free Paradise, where he accepted the task of assisting the Thor Fortress. It was very reasonable to follow the defeated army to evacuate to the imperial capital. Now that the war is over, the Lane Mercenary Group will naturally return to Free Paradise. As for taking over a few tasks, it is also the meaning of the title.
Lane, Faras, Alando... Every member of Lane's mercenary group was forced to recite the words Luke had prepared for them under the bombardment, and the messenger named Robin was also very... He quickly integrated into the Lane Mercenary Group. The current Lane Mercenary Group has many more people than when it was first formed. In addition to Robin, who is about thirty years old, Colin and Thomas are also added. shooter,
As for the little witch Alina, even if she is willing to go, others will not trust her. Faras will give her to the Minsk Magister. I believe that under the words and deeds of this high-level magician, Alina's magical strength will be improved. It will be greatly improved. Farasi's strength has improved very quickly this time. Even Victor praised her a few words, so she also joined Ryan's group.
Originally, Red wanted to set off with Ryan, but unfortunately Red's current identity was Archbishop, and he couldn't get away at all, so he had no choice but to give up. However, an adventure team always has a priest, so Catherine recommended her to participate. My friend from the Royal Arena, neither Luke nor Orlando could refuse this candidate, so Ryan had a new partner.
The day before departure, Ryan deliberately found Victor. The latter had been hiding in his magic tower after releasing the forbidden spell. He dismissed the title of Royal Chief Magician re-appointed by the Fernando royal family and waited until he heard about it. After finishing Ryan's description, Victor smiled and shook his head and said, "Now you understand why I hide."
Ryan replied with a wry smile: "I know, but it's a pity it's too late."
Victor gently patted Ryan on the shoulder and said: "But it doesn't matter. Just think of it as training along the way. Living on this continent, even I can't avoid these worldly things. This is unavoidable. I can't give up my friendship with Luke, just as you can't give up your love for Farasi."
"I originally planned to discuss the experience of making magic circles with you, but I don't have time now. I hope I can have this opportunity when you come back." Victor said with a smile: "Your raw materials are almost used up. Well, do you want me to give you some more."
Ryan smiled and patted his chest, where he put his storage pocket: "Haha, I asked Luke for some more. For this inevitable adventure, they are not stingy at all. I carefully checked everything according to the description in the book you gave me, and they are all the best raw materials."
Victor nodded slightly and said: "It's okay to use this kind of material when you practice, but you must pay attention. If you can't get rid of your dependence on the material, no matter what magic items you make, you must use the most sophisticated ones." materials, then your strength can only be like that."
"There is no useless magic, only useless magicians. The same is true for the manufacture of magic items. Otherwise, even if you use top materials such as black dragon's blood, angel wings, and devil's heart, you will not be able to make artifacts."
Ryan nodded to show that he was taught.
Victor added: "You still remember when I released the forbidden curse."
Ryan said repeatedly: "Of course I remember."
Victor continued: "In fact, the so-called magic is a process of communication, collection, and release of magic elements. Fireball is this process, Pyroblast is also this process, Fire Storm is also this process, and even the Forbidden Star Burning Spell No exception, this is the biggest reason why I asked you to practice releasing multiple magic spells at the same time. If you can release a thousand fireballs at a time, then the power of this spell is not very different from the forbidden spell."
Ryan said excitedly: "Is this how to learn the forbidden spell?"
"Of course not." Victor smiled and shook his head and said: "Your strength is still too poor, so it is difficult for you to understand how to release the Forbidden Magic Master now, but according to the method I told you, you can improve faster. Only when you step into that step of your own magical strength, will you know things that you originally thought hard about but couldn't understand."
"Take that step, what is that?" This was the first time Ryan heard such words. He asked Victor: "Is it the understanding of magic?"
"You can say that, but there is another way of saying it..." Victor looked up at the starry sky, clasped his hands behind his back, and murmured to himself: "Usually, we call that step into the holy realm. The mage who takes that step is the legendary mage.”
"Legendary mage, what is that?" Ryan heard a lot of words from Victor tonight that he had never heard before, and couldn't help but ask: "Being a legendary mage can release forbidden spells. "
Victor did not answer Ryan's words, but just stood there quietly with his head raised. After staring at Victor for a moment, Ryan also set his sights on the stars in the sky.
"Did you see it?" Victor asked abruptly,
Ryan Fu Zhi blurted out in his heart: "I saw it."
"What do you see."
"Stars," Ryan replied,
"Stars, what are they? Are they alive?"
"I don't know, because I'm not a star."
"Ryan." Victor said in a light tone: "The legendary mage is to the ordinary mage, just like the stars in the sky and you. You stand on the ground and you will never understand what the stars are. And when you One day, you will be able to stand among the stars in the sky, and you will understand why the stars hang high in the sky and why they keep shining brightly."
