lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Magician Ryan!
From the third day on, the carriage left the wide road and turned into a winding road. The roads became deserted immediately on both sides. There were no more carriages shuttled along the way, and no merchants could be seen anymore. The shops and residential houses are the only trees that are more and more prosperous, and the speed of the carriage has also slowed down, and it has begun to jostle.
Ryan saw all these changes from the carriage window, and he casually asked Viscount Bruno: "Is your territory very remote?" Viscount Bruno rolled his eyes, with a mocking tone. Say: "If it's on the most prosperous street in Liberty Paradise, why would I hire you?" This reply made Ryan's face reddened and speechless, and it also made Flanner amused in secret, but Ryan who seemed to lose face. He didn't take it to heart, still looking at the scenery outside the window.
Outside the window, as the carriage deepens, and when you look up, there are no people on both sides of the road. Even the occasional voices in the distance disappear without a trace. Ryan can see only those high Tall trees. These trees are vying to grow towards the sky, and then try their best to spread the branches and leaves, so as to absorb the sun to the maximum. In the southern spring, the sunlight barely penetrates through the gaps between the leaves, and spots are reflected on the bumpy ground.
Sitting in the slowly moving carriage, Ryan felt the distress of the ups and downs. This is a small road that few people walk. The road is winding to the depths of the woods, and its road is narrow enough to only be able to Let a horse-drawn carriage travel, and it is not flat. The horse-drawn carriage slowly bumps along the road, and the people in the carriage continue to sway along with it, as if sitting on a sea boat encountering wind and waves.
This feeling lasted for more than a long time. When the woods became denser and the sunlight shining through the leaves became dim, the slowly moving carriage stopped suddenly, and the wheels of the carriage came to a halt. The voice spread far in the silent woods.
Ryan’s first feeling thought he was in the place, but he looked out the window and didn’t find any houses nearby. At first glance, it was the lush trees. According to reason, a hereditary viscount’s fief. How come there are a lot of buildings, but the neighborhood doesn't look like people are inhabited at all, it shouldn't reach the place yet, why did the carriage stop?
"Sir, the road is blocked." The driver's helpless voice came.
This is not good news. In the dark, inaccessible woods, the only way is blocked by people. This is the standard beginning of many stories about those hapless guys being robbed by thieves.
Ryan stepped out of the carriage vigilantly. He walked to the front of the carriage in a few steps. About twenty meters in front of the carriage, two huge trees intersected and blocked the carriage’s path. These two trees and The surrounding trees are the same, but the branches on the trees are a bit yellowish, and they are definitely not just brought down.
Ryan looked at the surrounding environment, and felt a little puzzled. If there were thieves who had planned to cut down the trees and waited here, there is no reason why the branches of these trees will be yellow. This situation can only explain this. Two trees have been lying here for more than ten days.
At this moment, footsteps came from behind Ryan. Ryan didn't need to look back to hear that it was from his friend Elendo, and the heavy voice behind Elendo must be Flanner.
"There are people in the woods. One is thirty meters ahead of our left and one is fifty meters behind us." Alando's faint voice came from Ryan's ears, which was very small. Even Flanner, who was standing not far from them, didn't hear it. This is the advantage of being druids. They are known as the darlings of nature. In such a natural environment, it is easy to detect places that are incompatible with the harmonious nature, such as thieves hiding deep in the jungle.
Ryan, who was unknown, nodded slightly. It seems that there are real thieves waiting here. He won't look at the thieves' hiding place right away. That was the first time a rookie came out. After going through so many adventures, Ryan has a lot of experience, and he has gradually learned to be quiet.
In order to prevent the thief hiding in the dark from realizing that he had spotted them, Ryan focused his gaze on the place where he should be most at this time. On the two trees blocking the way in front of him, he thought to himself:" They are really patient. Look at the spots on these two trees..."
"Wait!" Ryan looked at the two trees blocking the way. Although they looked more than ten meters away from him, Ryan with keen eyes could clearly see that there were two long strokes on them. mark. Although many places of these two scratches were covered by plaque, they were too long, and they were still seen by careful Ryan. Ryan is not sure what caused them, but Ryan can be sure that such scratches are absolutely impossible to form naturally.
Ryan's heart moved, he felt as if he had grasped something very important, but for a while, Ryan didn't know what he had caught. This feeling made Ryan very uncomfortable. However, at this moment, Ryan's nose smelled a trace of blood floating in the air. .Mobile viewing
It’s off the beaten track here. It should be clean. It’s been raining recently. Even if there is any blood, it’s been washed away. But maybe there’s too much blood flowing here, so even though it’s been so long, it’s here. In the air, there was still a faint smell of blood.
The smell of blood is so faint, if it is certainly not smelled by ordinary people, but Ryan had a special experience in the tomb of an ancient king. He followed the immortal King Alexander into the never-ending blood. After the pool room, although he was vomiting a mess at the time, this unforgettable experience made Ryan particularly sensitive to the smell of blood.
There was a glimmer of understanding in Ryan's heart. He finally had what his uncomfortable feeling was. The slaughter, an unexpected but sudden slaughter: first blocked the road with trees, and then waited for him to pass by. People suddenly got into trouble when they moved them, but what caused those scratches? Common weapons such as long swords do not have such traces, but weapons such as giant axes leave much deeper traces. Could it be...magic?
Thinking of this, Ryan's eyes lit up. He turned to look at Viscount Bruno who was getting off the wagon. All the impressions of this hereditary viscount in the past few days have flowed through his mind like water, and finally frozen there. One of the sticks he often wields. Although it is a bit short, a stick with a lot of lines carved on it. It may be a common tool commonly used by nobles, but it may not have other hidden uses, such as magicians. Staff.
Viscount Bruno got out of the carriage lazily, frowning and reprimanding Harry Xi: "What's the matter? Don't hurry up and push the things in the way!"
Harrisi nodded and bowed and agreed, then shouted at the two carriage drivers: "Didn't you hear my master? You guys don't hurry over." After finishing this, Harry said to Ryan: "You guys can help too, the two of them can't be lifted."
Ryan took a few steps forward calmly. Since he began to doubt Viscount Bruno, he was naturally also cautious about the carriage driver he hired. Seeing the two coachmen walking towards him, Ryan suddenly asked nonchalantly: "You had a good harvest last time?"
"Of course..." Harrisi said half a word casually, then immediately turned pale and closed his mouth.
Ellendor lightly flicked Laflaner and stood in front of the middle-aged businessman. At this moment, all the suspects were in front of him, even the guy hiding in the depths was in his right hand. By the way, with Allendo's strength, he is confident that he can protect Flanner, a companion who is not good at fighting.
"Papa! Papa! Papa!" Viscount Bruno clapped his hands, and he said to Ryan in a complimentary tone: "Yes, not bad. You can guess a little bit of inside information, you're really good. But what? , This is also the reason why we didn’t cover it up very carefully. Anyway, we have more people than you. As long as you are willing to follow here honestly, you are afraid that you will run away?"
"Okay, Alman." Viscount Bruno said dismissively: "You don't have to pretend to be any Harishi servants anymore. Get ready to kill them."
Yalman said fiercely: "I'm fed up with the identity of Harrisi, I hate this boring character. Green, why do you do this every time, can't you just use a dagger?" Having said that, Yarman flipped his hand, and a bright and sharp dagger appeared in his hand.
"Don’t you think that this kind of trick of playing with your opponent in the palm of your hand has a feeling of holding everything under control? And watching them die with an incredible look in their eyes? It really excites me.” When Viscount Bruno said this, he took out a magician badge from his arms and put it on his chest. He said to Ryan, “Ha, are you going to die obediently or are you struggling? But don’t try to escape. Alas, I forgot to introduce myself. I am not a **** viscount. I am just an unfortunate guy who was killed by me. My name is Green, and I am a wind magician. As everyone knows, the wind magician is the most unrestrained and most aggressive among the magicians..."
Mage Green seemed to be a little too happy. He began to brag about his strength. Maybe he was going to fill his prey with despair, but even his companions couldn't stand this way.
"In contrast, I prefer to go straight!" Yarman endured Green's nonsense and yelled into the woods without hesitation: "Come out, be swift in your hands and feet, and you're done in a few strokes." Leave."
Ryan and the other three saw two men walking out of the woods with crossbow arrows. They also saw the two humble coachmen grinning and taking out the daggers. Together with this Yalman, the five people showed up. The semi-circle circled towards them.
