lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Magician Ryan!
Blair stood on the top of the mountain, looking into the distance, a gust of autumn wind blew the hem of the robe on his body, and it was actually very late, and the foot of the mountain was hazy. Far, but Blair is not observing the situation at the foot of the mountain, but thinking about the problem. /|'Update fast/|
Since Blair came out with the Mochizuki City Magic Exchange Group, the security of the entire team has been in charge of the magicians he specially brought from the Mochizuki City Magic Guild. These magicians are divided into two groups. It maintains a "magic eyes" magic circle day and night. The principle of this magic circle is quite simple. It is to expand one's field of vision through magic and to detect abnormalities around it.
This "magic eyes" magic circle is cleverly made in the carriage of a carriage, so that whether it is walking or resting, this magic circle can be undisturbed. With the strength of these magicians, They could observe within 20 kilometers of the exchange group. Such a long distance was enough for one's own side to make corresponding preparations before the enemy attacked.
Blair has some anxiety, because according to the predetermined time, Lily, the president of the Thieves Guild on the side of Senat, should have sent someone to contact Senat, but so far, Blair has not received any news. By now, the entire magic exchange group is stationed on the edge of Senat's territory. If Lily does not form a non-aggression treaty with Senat, then Blair must take the entire exchange group to go west and bypass the two mountains, which of course will be more. Spend time.
Even if he does sign with Senat, Blair must also guard against Senat’s disadvantages. After all, he now carries almost four-fifths of Mochizuki’s magic power. If Blair’s trip is to attack Senat Blair was not that worried when he captured Seck City. As long as he protects his army and sends scouts to prevent sneak attacks, Blair can certainly advance step by step. However, now he can only wait passively, even if he really wants to fight. Only Senat can do it first, lest Mochizuki City fall into an unfavorable situation in diplomacy.
"My lord, it's dark. Why don't you go back to the carriage and take a break." Just as Blair was speculating about Senat's possible reaction, he heard the voice of an assistant from his side, and Blair slowed down. Turning around slowly, he said to his assistant: "Is there no news yet?"
Blair's assistant shook his head and said, "No, it should have been passed by pigeons in the afternoon, but it has been six full hours late and there is still no news. Could it be that things have changed?"
Although Blair was anxious, he did not show it at all. Listening to his assistant's hand, Blair laughed and said: "In fact, no matter what the result is, we must be careful in the end. This is why I chose tonight. As a camping site, we can’t do it first. The terrain here is dangerous. Although it is easy to be surrounded, we are not afraid of this as a magician."
"Okay, take it easy, and deliver my order to let the'Magic Eyes' continue to detect with all their strength. Add scouts to search the nearby area. Don't be careless. After all,'Magic Eyes' are not omnipotent. , The other party can also use magic to generate illusions to interfere."
"Yes!"
"Oh, by the way, if Ryan and the others have nothing to do, ask them to come over and chat. I have been busy on the road these days, and I haven't chatted with them much. After all, they are guests."
"Okay, I'll do it now." Blair's assistant agreed and ran away quickly to deliver the order.
This time Blair took the magic exchange group to travel. In fact, there are only 30 official members in his group, including 3 great magisters, 11 magisters, and 17 high-level magicians. In addition to these magicians, there are also leaders, supervisors and other personnel.
However, there are almost 3oo people in this exchange group. This is because every authorized magician cannot be alone. He will have his own entourage. As we all know, magicians need time to cast spells. Young and fledgling magicians naturally have to work hard, but once they become famous, do they have to do everything by themselves?
In order to solve this problem, many famous and powerful magicians have formed their own entourage. This kind of entourage is very similar to that of a knight, and because the magician does not need to be as self-disciplined as a knight, the magician’s On the contrary, there are more types of entourage. There are servants who are responsible for the daily life of the magician, and assistants who take care of various affairs for the magician. More are guards with good strength. The purpose of these guards is to protect the magician and cast spells for the magician. To gain time.
It can be said that the 11 magisters and 3 great magisters of the exchange group this time are equivalent to 14 small mercenary groups uniting to perform a task. This number of people is naturally indispensable, especially Blair. The master himself has enough manpower: 2o rogue scouts who are good at inquiring news, 2o warriors who are good at martial arts and wearing armor, and 1o are a hundred strikers, and because of Blair's lofty status, his entourage There are even a few priests employed in it, plus Blair’s 12 assistants who are all senior wizards, and 8 servants including the groom chef. Blair’s entourage alone occupies the entire A quarter of the number of exchange groups.
After a short while, Ryan walked over with Faras and Flanner. This time, Ryan divided the entire mercenary group into two parts. He asked Ellendor to take Colin and Thomas to help Shaina find the whereabouts of Song of Souls, while he took Faras and Flanner to accompany Blair. Back to the imperial capital, so when he heard that Blair was looking for him to chat, Ryan immediately came over with his companions.
Ryan and the others just walked to Blair’s side. Before they had time to speak, they heard rapid footsteps. Ryan and the others hurriedly stood up, but saw Blair’s other assistant hurriedly walked to Blair’s side, and then whispered. Said: "My lord, there is a situation!"
Blair made an apologetic gesture to Ryan and the others, and then motioned to his assistant to start reporting. The assistant immediately told the news he had just received: "It is about 17 kilometers northeast of us. We are now A large number of troops, about a thousand people, and an army appeared in the southwest, but only a few hundred people, the sky is too dark, the direction is dense woods, it is not very clear."
Blair recalled the nearby map for a while, and found that the two armies happened to block his line of north and south passages. If the Magic Exchange Group wants to go from other directions, it must abandon the carriage and go mountain roads. Rugged and inconvenient to walk, it might give the opponent more time to encircle.
"Besides Senat, is there any lord who can mobilize thousands of troops? It seems that Senat is ready to hunt, but sometimes he will be swallowed by the prey without his own strength." Blair whispered. Said: "The terrain here is dangerous. As long as we firmly guard the only passage, we don't have to worry about the enemy's attack. Let the scouts shrink a little, be careful not to conflict with each other, after all, they are crowded. In addition, everyone on the mountain is on the spot. Eat and rest without being disturbed. In addition to guarding the up and down passages, the warriors in charge of guarding must also patrol the surrounding cliffs with their hands to prevent anyone from sneaking up."
Ryan and the others were standing by, and naturally they could hear clearly. After Blair’s assistant left, Ryan immediately took a few steps forward and said to Blair, “I’ll help, too. I shouldn’t delay you. Hind legs."
Blair shook his head and smiled and said, "Haha, drag your feet? Ryan, you are really humble. You have killed more orcs in Thor Fortress and the Imperial Capital than this number, right? If they attacked in batches and days, Maybe you killed them all by yourself. But, you are a guest now, how can you let the guest go busy while the host just sits on the sidelines?"
Ryan wanted to say something more, but Blair patted his shoulder vigorously and said, "Don’t worry, it’s okay. Our magician in Mochizuki City also uses magic, and we also occupy favorable terrain. If you are true If you want to help, there is a very important thing now."
"What's the matter?" Ryan asked.
"Play Tarot with me!" Master Blair said with a smile.
As soon as Blair spoke, his assistant who was standing next to him immediately got busy. In a short while, everything was set up. The table was removed from the carriage, and of course the four chairs were too, although It’s a bit simpler, but it’s not easy on the journey. In addition to these, the servants of Master Blair quickly brought up a variety of pastries, cut into small pieces of barbecue, and more than a dozen kinds of fashionable Fruits, and even prepared a glass of wine for Faras and Flanner.
Falas sat down, she picked up the crystal wine glass and took a sip, and found that the red **** syrup was actually the best Bordeaux produced by the imperial capital. She scanned the front of Ryan and Blair with her eyes. They only had Shimizu. Obviously, Blair's assistant knew the habits of Ryan and the others very well and handled everything properly.
"You have a good housekeeper." Faras couldn't help but complimented, while Blair smiled and said: "In fact, they have been with me for a long time, and they are more familiar with each other. Okay, no more. Let's play."
"Okay, it's been a long time since we played cards together, Ryan, let's have a little fun tonight." Falasi picked up the whole set of tarot cards and began to shuffle the cards according to the rules, and Ryan will play against Senna. The special army’s worries are temporarily put down. While waiting for the Falas card, Ryan has completely adjusted his mentality. He even joked with Blair: "If you lack a magister's card, you can take you I also joined in, anyway, you are a great magister!"
