lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Magician Ryan!
"More mercenaries have come here under the influence of gold coins, and more intense battles have begun. In the street fighting in the city, the mercenary groups of dozens of people are more suitable than the regular army of tens of thousands. Tens of thousands of mercenaries The soldiers resisted for ten days. Gris’s army only advanced less than 500 meters in these ten days. In order to reduce casualties, they had to start destroying houses along the way. This method was indeed effective. Without the threat, if they have enough time, they can certainly occupy the entire free paradise."
"When the sun rose on the fifteenth day, the army of the Principality of Gris could no longer sustain it because they had no food. All the war supplies in the Principality of Gris were bought by merchants, even Under the effect of several times the price, several high-ranking ministers began to steal the materials from the warehouses of the Principality in a planned way in order to make huge profits."
"So, when the army ate the last piece of food, this army of less than 30,000 people collapsed. The general with the army was unable to control the mutiny situation. For the sake of his reputation, he was in his own military account. The entire attack failed completely. But the war has not ended. The merchants of Freedom Paradise did not stop buying supplies. They brought more gold coins and frantically purchased various things in the Principality of Gris. It even monopolized all grain transactions in the Principality of Gris."
"When the Duke of the Principality of Gris found himself on his table, he could barely put on the sauerkraut stew that usually only the servants would eat, the counterattack of Liberty Paradise began. Because of the army of the Principality of Gris In the collapse, they could not use force to seize the materials that the merchants had hoarded. After all, the mercenaries who had just defeated the army were protecting these materials. In order to survive, the people of Gris, from the duke to the civilians, had to pay more expensive prices. Buy back the food they sold from the merchant."
"In the end, the merchants won the war. Their final monopoly transaction in Gris not only recovered the cost of the entire war, but also robbed the duchy’s last gold coin. From then on, again. No one dared to openly attack Freedom Paradise. Even the craziest war madman had to weigh the consequences before sending troops. The Gorse Empire took advantage of the civil turmoil in the Principality of Gris and sent troops to forcibly seize Gris and exile them. The ruler of the Principality of Gris. Only the poor duke has lost everything."
"So it's like this!" Ryan and Allendo listened to Flanner telling the whole story in one go, and couldn't help being shocked by the power bursting out by the businessmen. They didn't expect these businessmen who usually looked nice and friendly, Can actually subvert a principality.
——x——x——x——x——x——While Ryan and the others were sitting in the room of Pride of the Lion King and chatting happily, the guys under Steven The guy who was in charge of monitoring Ryan's every move felt a terrible headache. Their task was to closely monitor Ryan and his party and provide information for Green's upcoming hunting operation, but Ryan and the three of them had not come out since they lived in the Pride of the Lion King. For three days, they could not even see their personal images.
No matter how rampant the people in charge of surveillance, they dare not openly break into the pride of the lion king to cause trouble. The backstage of the pride of the lion king is far beyond what their boss Steven can provoke. No way, the pride of the lion king is known as the most luxurious hotel on the mainland. It is not just for fun. The staff inside are obedient to the rules and dare not divulge any information about the guests.
You can’t be soft, and you can’t dare to be hard. This is really heartbreaking. The guys who are in charge of monitoring the three of Ryan helplessly looked at the clear sky and thought about how to complete the task. One guy suggested to live in directly and live next door to Ryan, so that he can justify the surveillance target. As a result, this hapless guy became a punching bag for others and was severely repaired. The Pride of the Lion King is not affordable for ordinary people. The cost of a day there is a lot of money. They are just Steven's men. How dare a small character hidden in the darkness live in? Who knows when the Green team will come back? In case Green and the others are delayed for a few days on the road, even if they sell them as slaves, they can't afford the money.
But no matter what, the things Steven explained must be done properly. These guys have no choice but to wait outside slowly, but a few faces are always turning around at the door of the lion king’s pride. I'm afraid that the first thing that troubles them is the pride of the lion king, right? Who knows whether you are monitoring Ryan or are you going to vote for the Pride of the Lion King?
In order not to arouse others’ suspicion, these poor guys finally figured out a way. They found some tattered clothes, pretended to be beggars, and squatted on the streets far away from the pride of the lion all day. Silently stared at the door of the lion king's pride. Unless Ryan and the others will never come out, as long as you walk out from the only door, you can always see you, right?
——x——x——x——x——x——Ryan of course they didn't know, just a few hundred meters away from them, a few poor beggars were watching them secretly. Since they rescued Flanner, Ryan and the others have been living in the pride of the lion king. This is mainly because Flanner suffered a lot during those days of hiding in Tibet. He takes care of it, and at the same time can avoid that the competitor who secretly deals with Flanner has other plans. It's a pity that if Ryan and the others leave the free paradise as quickly as possible at this time, Steven has no choice but Ryan chose to recuperate in the Pride of the Lion King, which gives Steven plenty of time to mobilize his capable men.
But this time is not boring. The first thing Ryan gets up every day is to practice martial arts with Elendo. Of course, there is no possibility of much movement in the Pride of the Lion King, which is just warming up. After breakfast, the three people sat around and chatted together. In the afternoon, Flanner had the habit of taking a nap, and everyone went back to their own room. Allendo chose to communicate with Xiaobai on the soul, while Ryan was enthusiastic. After drawing the magic circle, Victor gave him a lot of materials, just to use it for practice. At night, the three people sat together, maybe chatting, maybe playing tarot and other small games. .
During the small chat, Flanner also asked Ryan about his experience. After all, he and Ryan have only been together for a short period of time. It is still necessary to know more about his friends. Ryan naturally does not conceal anything from his friends, but he is not a boastful person. When telling about his experience from walking out of his hometown to being in the Silent Language Forest not long ago, Ryan simplified a lot of things, and took a lot of key points. Not to mention that it was because of Ryan's own abilities that he was able to make it easier.
Who is Flanner? As a shrewd businessman, what he is best at is to find useful information in clues. Despite Ryan’s understatement, Fryner is keenly aware of the passionate and thrilling part of Ryan’s past experiences. , Which made Flanner admire Ryan even more.
However, after listening to Ryan’s story, Flanner discovered a problem. Ryan’s past experiences happened passively. To be precise, someone else hired Ryan for an adventure, not Ryan took the initiative based on his own. The strength is ready for a corresponding adventure.
There is naturally a big difference between these. Being employed by people, first of all, can’t be the master of everything. If it weren’t for Ryan’s strength far surpassed his employer or companions, and as the situation developed, Ryan’s Strength has become the key to the success of the mission, and it is impossible for Ryan to slowly become the core of the team.
Secondly, it is impossible for the person who hired Ryan to arrange an adventure based on Ryan’s strength. Then this kind of adventure is likely to be a pleasant trip for Ryan. Because of Ryan’s low-key and willing to hire him, most of them will be The strength is far inferior to his mercenary group, and the completion is likely to be a task that is not difficult for Ryan.
With Ryan’s strength, it is difficult to develop close cooperation with the person who hired him, because close cooperation should be based on the same strength. Just imagine the monster that can be solved by meeting Ryan with a fireball. Isn’t Ryan? You have to pretend to know nothing, and slowly practice with your companions how to cover and how to attack? Isn't that superfluous? As a result, such an adventure cannot cultivate the tacit understanding between oneself and his peers, and it is also difficult to improve one's own strength.
The last point, as a businessman, Flanner believes that instead of being hired by others and the pitiful commissions, it is better to set up a mercenary group and hire others to complete the task. Not only can you slowly choose your companions and cultivate By tacit understanding, increasing your own strength, you can also monopolize all the benefits you get from the adventure.
Take the six arrows mercenary group as an example. If Ryan’s own mercenary group takes over the task, as long as a very capable thief dismantles the trap, plus Ryan himself and Allendo, three Personally enough to complete that task. Ryan dealt with the immortal king, Ellendor could be on guard, he could assist thieves, and he could also support Ryan. On the contrary, it was Bury of the Six Arrows Mercenary Corps, Mark, Tedyn, the priest Dennis, and even the leader of the group. There was basically nothing to do here, and it was a waste of food to bring so many idle companions.
Flanner thought for a day. He found an opportunity to discuss these three points in his heart with Ryan in detail, and pointed out that in the previous situation, Ryan and Allendo took a risk together. There is nothing wrong with them, but as their strength improves and their companions increase, it will not be conducive to future development if they continue to do so.
