lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Magician Ryan!

Two days later, the group of people who went hunting in the mountains came back. After a few days, Ryan also missed his father very much. He welcomed his father back outside the town just like everyone else. The results of this companion hunt were very good, and Ryan's father also returned with satisfaction. Ryan helped his father carry back 2 dead mountain antelopes and a small bush dog alive.

When I had dinner in the evening, Ryan proposed to his parents the trial of his coming-of-age ceremony.

Lane's mother is very worried about Ryan, and some don't want Ryan to go. But the usually taciturn father just thought about it, and firmly agreed to Ryan's request. Although Ryan's mother was a little bit reluctant, she had always obeyed Ryan's father's arrangements when it came to major family matters.

Ryan was surprised by his father's decision. He thought he would have to wait for several days even if his father agreed. Ryan’s father looked at his son’s slightly immature face, and said with pity: "Your mother and I love you very much, but you are a man and will be independent sooner or later. Besides, I am very relieved of your teacher Jialibu. I believe in him and I also believe in my children."

Looking at his father's weather-beaten but caring face, Ryan couldn't help but shed tears.

The next day, Ryan and his parents came to Jialib’s cabin. Caleb, Dranai, Nimo and Meifu were already waiting there.

Ryan is usually busy learning martial arts and magic with the teacher, and there are no particularly good friends in the town, that is, the relationship between Nemo, who studied with Caleb, is better. Therefore, this time Ryan's coming-of-age ceremony trial only told Nemo and Meifu.

My father put out the savings he had accumulated for many years for Ryan's coming-of-age ceremony trial, and his mother packed his luggage overnight for him. Teacher Galibu gave Ryan a dagger, and Mr. Delaney gave Ryan a magic storage pocket.

This magic storage pocket is almost necessary for adventurers in their adventure career. He is just a small pocket on the outside, as long as it is attached to the body. But when it is opened, it is a large space, which can store a large number of items.

Ryan only knew the existence of the storage pocket from the usual discussions between Caleb and Delaney. He was very envious. He didn't expect to have one today. After Mr. Delaney briefly demonstrated how to use the storage pockets, Ryan was already able to put his carry-on baggage and the dagger that Mr. Caleb gave him.

Due to the relatively rush of time, what special items were prepared by Naimo and Meifu. Meifu just stringed the sixteen fangs of the wild boar that Naimo hunted overnight to make a bracelet. Give it to Ryan.

Under everyone's silent gaze, Ryan slowly walked away.

As night falls, the wind blows gently, making people feel a little cool in the warm July. Ryan sat next to the campfire, carefully removed the meat that had just been cooked, blew it with his mouth, and ate it with a big mouthful.

The meat of the edelweiss is delicious, which makes Ryan eat with relish, and thinks about it in a random way: "This edelweiss tastes really good, although it doesn't taste as good as the mother's...well, it's time to fight, and only go out in the morning. Yes, why do you feel homesick?" Ryan laughed mockingly and began to figure out his schedule.

Although his father gave Ryan a lot of gold coins, these are not enough for this coming-of-age ceremony trial. In addition, Ryan has to find a few partners to complete the trial together, so there is more money to spend!

"It seems that we need to register a mercenary first." Ryan said in his heart: "Completing tasks to earn money can also improve themselves. However, it is less than 4 months before the competition, and it may not be possible to do too troublesome tasks. . There is also the choice of partners. This is the most troublesome. Where can I find the right one?"

Ryan thought for a long time and felt that things had to be done one by one. He set himself the first goal: first go to Takri Town, become a mercenary, and earn money by completing mercenary missions. If you have the opportunity to work with others, you might as well give it a try.

After dinner, Ryan stood up, stretched a long waist, and patted his stomach again. Well, I'm full, so comfortable.

Lane added a few branches to the bonfire, nodded as he watched the burning flames, guessing that these branches could almost burn until dawn. He walked to the big tree next to him, climbed up quickly, and sat firmly on the forked trunk.

Ryan followed Caleb into the Hengduan Mountains many times when he was young. His father was also an excellent hunter in the small town. He had already remembered the basic knowledge of survival in the wild. Building a bonfire can effectively prevent monsters. Like wolves, snakes, and other threatening monsters, they are afraid of fire and dare not come over. If they can sleep on a clean tree, it will be cool and safe. Of course, if you have the opportunity, you should also buy a camping tent, so you are not afraid of bad weather.

Thinking of shopping, Ryan couldn't help taking out the storage pocket his teacher Delaney gave him. This thing is really good for me. Although it looks like a small pocket and can be attached to the body, it is actually a large space inside. This seems to be caused by alchemy plus space magic. However, Ryan doesn’t understand this very well. Anyway, as long as he knows how to use it, why bother to think about things he doesn’t understand. If you have the opportunity to ask Teacher Delaney again, it’s fine.

Ryan rummaged in his storage pocket, and took out the dagger given to him by Teacher Caleb under a few pieces of clothing. The dagger is about the same length as his forearm, and the scabbard is made of the skin of a very ordinary takrei antelope. Ryan held the handle of the sword and pulled out the short sword with slight force on his wrist.

The blade of the dagger is pitch-black and does not reflect light under the bright moonlight. It looks very ordinary, which makes Ryan feel a little disappointed. He lightly held the dagger in his right hand and drew it toward the branch without any effort, cutting off a branch with the thick arm.

Seeing the effect of the sword test in front of him, Ryan was taken aback. He didn't expect this short sword to look inconspicuous, but it was so sharp. So he added some strength and stab the dagger into the trunk. In Ryan's expectation, the dagger plunged into the tree, and there was no sound!

Ryan was ecstatic. Teacher Galibu really gave him a good gift. With this dagger, his best at close fast attack is even more threatening.

Ryan hurriedly drew out the short sword and examined the blade carefully, hoping to find out the reason for its sharpness. But Ryan didn’t know anything about weapon making. He just heard Dranai talk about some simple knowledge about alchemy and attaching magic to equipment. After looking at it for a long time, he didn’t find anything. He just barely believed it was an attached magic. Because of the existence of magic, this short sword is extremely sharp, and it does not have the metal luster and reflective characteristics like ordinary weapons. In addition, Ryan only found the two small characters "Shadow Death" on the sword, which is probably the name of this short sword.

Maybe it was because of the first trip, maybe because of Shadowsall's sharpness that made Ryan excited. In short, Ryan couldn't sleep, and tossed all night, until it was about to dawn that he barely slept for a while.

In the early morning of the next day, Ryan woke up early. He moistened the campfire with some embers with the water in the water sac, then filled the water sac with clear water in the stream next to him, ate a few pieces of rabbit meat left over from last night, and faced the rising sun to the tower. Rick Town walked.

The town of Tariq is not very far from the town of Dense Fog, only a day and a half away. Before noon, Ryan came to Takri Town.

This is the second time Ryan has come. The last time was about 3 or 4 years old. At that time, he was too young, and Ryan had no impression of Takri Town. But this is not difficult for Ryan. He learned the method used by the protagonist in the adventure story that Caleb told him, took out 2 copper coins, and let a kid playing outside lead himself to the door of the mercenary guild. .

This square building is very old, with a history of at least a hundred years. There is a wooden sign hanging at its door. Although it has been exposed to wind and sun for many years, it can still be clearly identified on the wooden sign. A crossed emblem of a sword and a staff was drawn. Ryan recalled what Caleb had told him about the mercenary guild, opened the door of the mercenary guild, and walked in.

Although many years have passed, although Caleb did not have an adventurous career in Takri Town, everything is exactly the same process as Caleb said. Ryan became a commissioner after spending a gold coin. A member of the Bing Guild received a magic crystal that symbolized his identity. With it, Ryan can accept missions in any mercenary guild on the continent of Islar.

The first thing Ryan did after becoming a mercenary was that he carefully asked about the recently released mercenary missions, and found that most of the missions are errands, like helping someone find a lost pet. Investigate The mistress of a certain nobleman, send the package to the designated place. These tasks are troublesome and require luck, and Ryan is not interested at all.

After reviewing all the mercenary missions several times, Ryan finally found a task that was barely acceptable: A small mountain village called Anceno Village, about 1 day away from Takri Town, encountered winter. Attack of the wolf, the mercenary mission publisher, the village chief of this small village released a mission to clear the Winter Wolf of Warcraft 3 days ago, and the reward was a bonus of five gold coins.

Ryan, who was born as a hunter, is quite experienced in tasks such as clearing beasts. Wouldn't it be enough to hunt him before Victory Day? Ryan smiled, he didn't participate in this year's hunting, it seems that he made it up this time.

After going through the relevant formalities with the staff of the Mercenary Guild, Ryan took over the task. In order to find Anceno Village, Ryan bought a map by the way. The villages and towns around Takri Town, such as Anceno Village, Dense Fog Town, etc., have detailed labels on it, which can make it easier for travelers to reach their destinations. .

Receiving the task, Ryan decided to travel around the town and purchase some applicable items by the way.

The Mercenary Guild is on the busiest street in Takri Town, and the center of the town is right outside. There are shops on both sides of the street, with cries and bargaining sounds one after another.

Ryan walked slowly in the crowd, and stopped to take a look at the sale of monster cores or furs, and asked about the price. After seeing more than a dozen shops, Ryan found that there was nothing particularly good here. The Warcraft furs sold were far inferior to those produced in Dense Fog Town, his hometown, and he lost the interest in continuing to go shopping, so he decided to stop. , Find a place to eat.

While Ryan was looking for a suitable inn, he found that there was a shop not far in front of him with a hammer hung. This was the sign of the blacksmith shop. Ryan suddenly forgot the reality that he was hungry and decided to go and watch it. Look.

The blacksmith's shop is not big, and it only takes ten steps to go from one side to the other. On the far right side of the shop is a stove. Next to the stove are various crafting tools. Two middle-aged blacksmiths are naked, waving their hammers in front of the stove, trying to forge something. A young man who seemed to be an apprentice was pulling desperately next to the bellows. Seeing someone coming, one of the middle-aged people put down his hammer and greeted him.

Ryan was very satisfied with the Shadowsoul dagger given to him by Caleb, but he didn't have any tools to skin the warcraft. It seemed too extravagant to always use Shadowsoul, so he planned to buy a dagger. In addition, this mission is to deal with a group of winter wolves. Ryan also plans to buy ten traps. It would be best if he could buy bows and arrows.

Ryan talked about his thoughts with the blacksmith. The middle-aged blacksmith thought about it and said: "I have the dagger in stock here, you see all hanging over there." After that, he pointed with his finger. Ryan looked in the direction pointed by the middle-aged blacksmith, and he saw that in a corner of the original furnace, there were six or seven unopened daggers of different sizes and styles.

"Is it just a trap for the animal trap?" The middle-aged blacksmith paused and said, "I don't have any stocks here. I ordered a batch of goods that were delivered only ten days ago in Dense Fog last month. In a few days, I took another big deal, and I ordered fifty pairs in a place. I’m just rushing to work."

Lane felt a little cordial when he heard the name of Dense Mist Town. It’s right to think about it. Isn’t this just the hunting this month? A new batch of clips must be customized, but I don’t know how long it will take for the new batch to be completed, so I asked: "Then how long will you be able to do as soon as possible? Come out?"

The middle-aged blacksmith had the final say, and said: "I have only three of us here, and I have to take care of the business in the shop. It will take about 5 days to finish this batch of goods. The 10 pieces you ordered cost almost 2 Heaven. You have to wait at least 7 more days."

"Seven days?" Ryan thought to himself: "It seems that this mission is beyond expectation."

"Forget it, I'll pick a dagger" Ryan said disappointedly.

"Whatever you want, you can go there and watch it. If you are optimistic, you can call me. The goods here may not be as exquisite as those in the big cities, but they are definitely easy to use." The middle-aged blacksmith confessed a few words, and then Turn around and pick up the hammer to continue beating.

In fact, Ryan didn't have any special requirements for the dagger, as long as it was about the same, so he quickly selected a dagger.

The middle-aged blacksmith looked up at the style Ryan had chosen and walked into the room. After a while, he took out a dagger that was exactly the same from the room and handed it to Ryan, saying, "2 silver coins."

Ryan took the dagger, and asked strangely: "Why don't you hang up with this one?"

The middle-aged blacksmith smiled and said, "Hang this on the outside." He pointed to the unopened dagger, and continued: "It's useless for others to take it. I always have to look at the shop if I save it." /

Ryan also laughed: "So it's like this." He took a closer look at this one in his hand. Indeed, although the workmanship of the small blacksmith shop is a bit rough, it is still quite sharp. You can use it when you use the skin of the monster.

Ryan took out silver coins to pay for the dagger, put the dagger in the storage pocket, and asked the blacksmith: "Do you have bows and arrows here?"

The middle-aged blacksmith said: "That's not the case. I am not qualified to make this bow and arrow. This thing will only be sold at a special weapon shop, and you have to register carefully after you buy it. It's too much trouble."

Lane saw that he had nothing to buy, and walked out of the smithy.

Lane came out of the blacksmith shop. It was already afternoon. After he felt his stomach protest again, he remembered that he hadn’t eaten lunch yet, so he made up his mind to find a place to have a good meal, this time anyway. Don't change it.

Although Takri Town is relatively prosperous, it is not too big. After Ryan walked two streets, he sat down at the dining table of a small hotel. From going out yesterday morning to this afternoon, Ryan ate an edelweiss. His stomach was already hungry.

Ryan ordered a large plate of roasted tacre beef, another roasted pork pie and a large glass of refreshing juice. Soon, what he wanted was brought up by the owner of the hotel. He looked at the steaming pork pie and the scented barbecue, couldn't help but move his index finger, enjoying his meal.

After enjoying a hearty meal, Ryan hiccuped and felt very comfortable. He called the innkeeper and asked him to prepare a room for himself. Because he had to get up early tomorrow, for convenience, he bought some hard bread and a few pieces of roast beef for breakfast tomorrow.

After paying the money, Ryan sat contentedly followed the innkeeper to the room he had booked.

The room is upstairs from Lane's dining area. It's not too big, but it's clean. There were only a bed and a table in the room, as well as 2 chairs that were not very strong, and they were crunching. Ryan felt that the rattling chair was uncomfortable at all, so he simply lay down on the bed. Soon, he entered the dream.
