"After the war, it's not that no one went in there. In fact, the ancestors of our three families all organized expeditions to go there. It was filled with thick fog all day long. The farther you go towards the center, the bigger the fog gets. , people standing inside can't tell the direction at all. Either they get lost and trapped in it and eventually slowly die, or they walk back to the same place inexplicably. A few lucky people may find the right path, but the strength of the Warcraft inside is very It is so powerful that ordinary people cannot resist it. There is even a terrible miasma deep in the swamp. Once you are trapped in it, you will be poisoned and die immediately. Well, there are also people who saw the wandering Templars. They did not complete their mission, so they will never Unable to rest in peace... Anyway, after losing many hands, our ancestors gave up."
"So that's it. Then I'm even more excited about the upcoming trip to the Cursed Swamp." After listening to Adams's account, Ryan not only didn't feel scared, but was actually very excited. After participating in the defense of the Imperial City, Ryan There is almost no such experience of walking on the line of death. Now that there is such an opportunity, Ryan certainly hopes to go on an adventure.
"Oh, please don't do this." Adams saw that his deliberately exaggerated persuasion not only had no effect, but also made Ryan eager to try. He was upset and had to tell the truth: "Fabia, what is the situation there? , we don’t know at all now, but since no adventurers have really gone deep into it for so many years, and there are so many terrible legends, it sums up that the Cursed Swamp is an extremely dangerous place, and you are now the soul of the entire Cassano, If anything happens to you..."
Ryan shook his head gently and said to Adams and Carter: "As long as I am alive, I will always encounter some dangers. Even if I hide in the Iron Fist Castle every day, I am still likely to encounter assassins sent by other forces. , maybe some ambitious person will launch a war regardless of the situation... In short, the only thing that can truly protect you when danger comes is your own strength, and the only way to quickly improve your strength is to participate in actual combat."
"The wars like the one that unified Cassano are simply boring killings for me. This cannot improve my strength. Now that I have such an opportunity, of course I will try. In addition, this time I When I go to the Imperial Capital, I will bring a lot of people with me, so I will take advantage of this opportunity to conduct a practical drill."
"I still object, because your decision is too hasty." Seeing that he could not convince Ryan, Adams couldn't help but his tone became much louder: "Please think about the entire Cassano people and don't put yourself in danger. , because it is not only your safety, but also the future of Cassano's 200,000 people."
"What's wrong?" Vivian and Adela, who were mesmerizingly admiring the piece of wave jade, both heard Adams' words. They looked at Ryan and others dozens of meters away in surprise, feeling a little strange in their hearts, because Adams is usually very calm and has never lost his composure like he did just now.
Vivian handed the Wave Emerald back to the businessman, and she held Adela's hand and walked towards Ryan. Adams already regretted it a little bit now. No matter how correct his starting point was, but facing everyone in front of everyone It is also wrong to argue with Ryan, because it will damage the prestige of the person in power.
Vivian and Adela quickly came to Ryan and the others. Vivian squeezed Adela's hand gently, and the latter snuggled to her father's side understandingly, while Vivian herself was smiling. He came to Ryan and asked with an intimate look: "What's wrong, Fabia, did you do something bad and Adams discovered it."
Ryan rubbed his nose with a wry smile, not knowing how to tell Vivian that the disagreement between him and Adams just now was actually a dead end. As an overlord, Ryan must ensure his own safety, especially in the As long as he doesn't have his own bloodline, otherwise if something happens to him, it will easily cause chaos in the territory.
However, Ryan's ability to become this overlord does not rely on factors such as family and army, but his own magical strength. To ensure that he can truly occupy the position of this overlord, Ryan must improve his own strength. The fastest way to improve his strength is To take risks, wandering between life and death, but taking risks will put oneself in danger, which is contrary to the identity of the overlord.
So Ryan didn’t know what to say to Vivian. Theoretically speaking, neither party was wrong in his argument with Adams. The fault was that Ryan’s two different identities had different opinions on this matter. In Ryan’s case, While she was still worried about how to explain, Adela had already learned the general situation from her father. She came to Vivian in a few steps and told Vivian the whole thing in a low voice.
Vivian had been a mercenary for ten years, and of course she understood Ryan's plan, so she sided with Ryan without hesitation. Vivian said to Adams: "Actually, this matter is very simple. We are not an ordinary mercenary group. We can form a small army and go there to have a look. If everything goes well, there is no need to say more. If things are not as expected, just return to the original route."
"But, in 200 years, no mercenary group has ever truly entered the core of the Cursed Swamp..." Adams blurted out,
"Yes, but in the past 200 years, no one has truly unified the entire Cassano Plain." Vivian interrupted Adams. She smiled at Ryan and continued to turn to Adams and said: "I was once a A mercenary who has adventured with Fabia. I should be the person who knows him best here. If you are like me and saw Fabia kill a manticore with your own eyes, you will understand what I mean about him. His confidence is so strong, I believe that there will definitely be unknown powerful monsters in the Cursed Swamp, but as long as you are careful not to be surrounded by a large number of monsters, I think there are not many monsters that can hurt Fabia."
After listening to Vivian's words, Adams fell into silence. After a while, he suddenly said: "Okay, I will also go on an adventure in the Cursed Swamp, but you must take me with you, and you must promise us, If the situation becomes critical, you can leave us and escape on your own."
Ryan shook his head slightly. He stopped what Adams was going to say with his eyes, and said to himself: "I have no habit of abandoning my companions. I will take you with me, and then I will bring you back with me. Don't worry, I'm taking the risk." To improve your strength, not to die."
