After a conversation with Blair, Ryan focused all his attention on how to design his first magic item. However, the more Ryan thought about it, the more headache he got. He can now make traditional magic items such as jewelry and rings on his own. items, and also found enough inspiration from Shaina’s dress, and also had a preliminary understanding of making magic robes. Ryan not only hopes that his first work can be perfect, but he also does not want to make it. Things are too bland,
In such a conflicting mood, Ryan and his party had unknowingly arrived at the western border of Senat's sphere of influence. After Senat declared independence, he recaptured the city of Seike, and this city has become the city of Senat. The political, economic and military center of special forces,
Due to the very important location of this city, if many important cities in the south, such as Free Paradise and Moonlight City, want to go to the imperial capital from land, the nearest and most convenient way is to take Seike City. After Senat broke away from the empire and declared his independence, the first thing to do was It was to send troops to guard the north-south transportation routes, blocking land connections between the imperial capital and the southern lords. In addition, the imperial capital lost the important port city of Sunrise City in the north during the war with the orcs, which caused the imperial capital to lose its sea connections with the south. channel,
The current imperial capital is facing a very embarrassing situation: nominally, the imperial capital is the center of the entire empire, but in fact, each important city in the south is doing its own thing, and the imperial capital's decrees can only be within the area of several thousand miles within the jurisdiction of the imperial capital. It took effect and left the imperial capital. No one paid any attention to it.
This is also the situation that Senat hopes to see most. After all, he is fighting against a country with the power of a lord. If the empire still has the prestige it had when it was founded 200 years ago, then Senat will never dare to do so even if he has millions of troops under his command. For this rash move, the only blame is that Fernando's descendants are not as good as the previous generation. This is how Senat's family slowly rises.
When he learned that Wangyue City had sent a magic exchange team to the Northern Imperial Capital, Senat's first thought was that something was wrong. Could this mean that Wangyue City and the Imperial Capital were in alliance? He immediately sent out a considerable number of scouts to explore this matter. information, and at the same time, additional manpower was deployed to guard all possible roads from Mochizuki City to the Imperial Capital. It was necessary to prevent Blair from leading his delegation northward.
Master Blair and the magic exchange group tried their best not to enter Senat's territory, but Senat's sphere of influence was so geographically located that Master Blair had to take the entire magic exchange group in a big circle, which also made Senat Te had enough time to mobilize the army to intercept them.
Master Blair has long known that Ryan is ranked fourth on Senat's wanted list. Above him are Catherine, Luke and Orendo, and Farasi is Luke's daughter. Ryan is on the moon. Cheng's experience cannot be concealed from others. I'm afraid Senat has made some determination. He can not only attack the strength of Moon Moon City, but also take Ryan and Farasi as hostages. There is nothing better than this.
The closer they were to Senat's sphere of influence, the more cautious Blair and the Magic Exchange Group became. They released enough scouts. Every day, several high-level magicians released their "magic eyes" to detect every move for several kilometers around the exchange group. , and travel at different times day and night,
Since the entire magic exchange group rides in a carriage with the same device as Ryan's, the physical exertion of the horses pulling the cart is relatively small, and the entire exchange group does not need good road conditions to keep moving at high speed, as long as A place where horses can run, and the road is wide enough for carriages to pass.
"Stop, stop." Several men dressed as servants on horses kept shouting in a low voice. With their efforts, the entire speeding convoy stopped. Master Blair walked out of the carriage, and the Several men dressed as servants immediately jumped off their horses, knelt on the ground and said, "Master Blair, there is an ambush ahead."
"Oh, what's going on? Please tell me more carefully."
"Yes, we found an unidentified army in the canyon about 60 kilometers ahead. The opponent's army was neat and well-equipped. There were about 4,000 people..."
When these people reported the situation to Master Blair, the high-level magicians on the surrounding carriages gathered around. However, Blair, as the leader of the entire magic exchange group, did not speak. Naturally, the others would not say much. After the men dressed as servants finished their report, Master Blair recited a long list of magic spells without hesitation.
Under the influence of magic, a simple map slowly appeared in front of Blair. When this map first appeared, it was very rough, with only some simple lines. With the casting of Master Blair's spell, the map also It became clearer and clearer, and after the entire magic was completed, the terrain within a thousand miles around was completely presented to everyone.
"Wow, it's so amazing. This is all possible." Faras whispered in Ryan's ear: "If we can also use this magic, it will be really convenient to travel in the future."
"Shh, Fanny, don't talk. Let's see what Master Blair arranges."
Master Blair checked the map carefully and said: "Two of the three lords near here are attached to Senat, and the other one has an ambiguous attitude and has not broken away from the rule of the empire, but he has been secretly with Senat for a long time. With the connection, otherwise there would not be only 2,000 troops stationed at the border between him and Senat territory. This is simply a wide-open door, waiting to tempt others to attack us."
"The only one who can send 4,000 elite troops is Senat. Moreover, we have to pass through several dangerous places to the north. If Senat has an ambush, he will definitely choose to attack in these places. If he allows us to pass In front of this mountainous area is the endless prairie, and it is also close to the imperial capital. There will definitely be someone on Luke's side to help us, maybe it's the Royal Knights."
Master Blair spoke out his thoughts. Everyone present did not speak. Instead, they looked at Blair attentively, waiting for him to give orders. Master Blair was not humble. He carefully considered his words and then said: "We If we go another 10 kilometers, we will arrive here." Master Blair pointed to a certain spot on the map that appeared in the air in front of him and said: "There is a large open space here for us to rest, and all our scouts will immediately center there. , carefully monitor every move in the nearby 20 kilometers, and we must definitely avoid being attacked by Sekt."
"The terrain where we are about to rest is very good. It is a mountain peak and there is only a path that can only be traveled by a carriage. Even if Senat wants to sneak attack us, he will not be able to deploy his troops in a hurry and can only become our target. ." At this point, everyone present laughed. Yes, among the people who can stand here, the weakest ones are the senior magicians Mayne and Elber, and there are 11 other members. Magister, and the three great magisters including Master Blair. If Senat really wants to attack, I'm afraid it's not necessarily who will bully whom.
