Barbara looked at Ryan with some surprise. Ryan smiled at him and continued: "There are two paths before you now. One is to continue to follow the path of promotion as a regular magician. Although there will be a little bit in the early stage, It’s slow, but it will be much smoother later on; the other one is just like me, a winding path full of thorns.”
"Ah, then which one do you think I should choose?" Barbara's big eyes flickered, and she asked Ryan crisply: "It sounds like the first path will be safe, but why did you choose it at that time?" Here’s the second one.”
Ryan laughed and did not answer Barbara's question. In fact, Ryan had no choice at all at the time. He knew nothing about magic at that time, and his teacher Delanai only used the second method to teach him magic. Naturally Let Ryan think that other magicians are trained in this way,
"I choose the second option." Barbara suddenly said,
"Oh, why." Ryan asked curiously,
Barbara said with a sweet voice: "It's very simple. Teacher, you have put in so much effort tonight. You must hope that someone will choose the second way."
Ryan laughed dumbly. It seemed that Barbara was really smart and guessed his thoughts, so he nodded and admitted, and at the same time explained to Barbara: "Remember the ceremony just now, I used my own magic power to The movement in your body opens up a temporary channel for you, so that you can clearly understand the specific process of releasing a certain magic, and you will continue to practice according to the channel I opened for you. This is It’s like solidifying this channel.”
After seeing Barbara's blank look, Ryan realized that what he had just said was quite profound, so he simply said: "Using the second method, you can quickly master several magics and master them through long-term practice. They are proficient in them, but the price is that it is difficult for you to learn other magics, at least other magics of the same level."
"That's not bad. Didn't you say there are many types of magic? I don't think I can use them all."
Ryan shook his head and said: "That's not necessarily the case. I had this idea before, but since all magic is created, it must have its scope of application. And to take the second path, you can only use the magic you are proficient in. Those types are used to deal with various situations, and in this regard they are much more passive than regular magicians."
"Of course, you shouldn't be so pessimistic, because we can develop things in our favor." Ryan didn't want to hit Barbara too hard, so he added: "For example, if I choose magic that focuses on offense, then my The defense will be worse, which seems to be my weakness."
"Yeah." Barbara nodded, she thought so too,
"But the fact is that I defeated almost all my opponents." Ryan thought for a while and added: "Except for a few opponents who are much stronger than me, you must be wondering how I did it. It's actually very simple. , just play to your strengths. Since I am good at attacking, and I am more proficient in attacking magic than other magicians, consume less mana, and cast spells faster, then why should I fight with others in a normal way? Give yourself first Add protective magic, and then patiently engage in a magic cracking battle with the opponent. No, I will take the lead and directly suppress the opponent with a violent offensive. I will never stop until the opponent's will to resist is destroyed."
Ryan's few words made Barbara's blood boil. She wished that she would have infinite power immediately. Ryan understood Barbara's mood. He patted Barbara's head again and said to her: "Since You’ve made your choice, so we can get started.”
"Okay." Barbara nodded her head vigorously.

"Sir, the cursed swamp is ahead." The coachman's words reached Ryan's ears. Ryan took a sip of water from the water glass and said to Barbara and several other magic apprentices: "Let's stop here today. Let’s get out of the car and take a look.”
Soon, the entire convoy stopped, and Ryan took Adela and others up a small hillside, where he could see the Cursed Swamp about several kilometers away. From a distance, There is a black mist hanging over the Cursed Swamp. It is precisely because of this black mist that Ryan and the others cannot see clearly what is going on in the Cursed Swamp.
"That's right here." The priest Rocheld who treated the poisoned mercenary said, "Just a little ahead, there are still footprints there."
Ryan looked up at the sky and said, "Camp on the spot. Everyone has a good night's rest. Tomorrow we will try to enter the Cursed Swamp to see what's inside."
"Do you want me to take the scouts to explore the road first?" Nancy stood behind Ryan and asked in a low voice.
Ryan shook his head and said: "No, we have been traveling for two consecutive days and everyone has worked hard. Except for those responsible for the night watch, everyone else should have a good rest. Adela, Adams, Moses, Nancy, and Rochelle De, let's go discuss the adventure arrangements for tomorrow."
Since Rocheld was the only one in the entire team who had ever gone in, the adventure arrangement was basically based on the priest's narrative. Ryan divided the entire team into two parts, with one part staying outside and the other Some people followed Ryan into the Cursed Swamp and rotated according to the situation. Others naturally had no objection to Ryan's arrangement, so the rosters of the two teams were quickly determined.
Ryan almost evenly distributed the combatants. He didn't want the team staying outside to be attacked by someone with ulterior motives. He even gave Adams and Moses, who were in charge of staying behind, an order to conduct war alert and be ready to fight at any time. Ryan Having experienced this situation many times, such as the time in the tomb of King Alexander, Ryan did not want his personnel staying outside to suffer. After all, only Ryan himself in the entire team had the strength to turn the tide of the battle.
Moses and others were still quite uneasy about the poisonous spiders and flying dragons they were about to face. With their strength, they could kill such monsters. However, according to Pastor Rocheld's description, those terrifying beasts were Creatures tend to be in groups. I am afraid that not many mercenary groups can remain calm in the face of such danger.
Of course Ryan understood everyone's mood. He took out the gifts he had prepared a long time ago, a large stack of magic scrolls, and distributed them to everyone present. Looking at the fireball scroll that had just been drawn in his hand, everyone's morale seemed to be high. It has improved a lot. It doesn’t matter how many monsters there are. We have Fabian Magician and a large number of fireball scrolls.
