Chapter 612: New World (Updated for NemoFoxx)
After dinner, Ryan and Hermione declined the Weasleys' warm offer and returned to their estate. The previous month was indeed a little too busy, so after returning to their home, they relaxed and rested for two or three days to completely relieve their spirits before they began to arrange the next step.
"I feel like we should go to a new world for a spin. Hermione proposed, "It's not going to grow as fast as we are, I think we need to get more knowledge from different worlds to strengthen our power from another angle." ”
"It's also a good idea. Ryan nodded in agreement, as one mentor said, quantity is also a type of quality. If he can master enough abilities, Ryan feels that this will be in an advantageous position in the next war.
After the battle at the end of last semester, Ryan gained 50 offset points, and after adding the previous offset points, Ryan now has 258 offset points, which means that he can go to any world. After careful consideration, Ryan decided that this time he would go to the highest level world to see if he could gain even more power.
In fact, Ryan has the coordinates of a ninth-level world in his hand, which is the world where Jill was before. However, considering that there seemed to be nothing major happening in that world when Jill was born, it should not be mixed with anything important. In particular, most of the magic effects of that world overlapped with the magic effects that Ryan had mastered now, lacking sufficient complementarity.
So he thinks that opening a new world to see maybe there will be some unexpected gains. So after making all the preparations, Ryan took Hermione, Rose Crystal and Jill through the Grocery Store to a new world.
"Woods, woods and woods. Rose Crystal grumbled, "Brother, are you a child of the jungle? ”
"I don't know what's going on. Ryan also looked confused, but although everyone was complaining about this strange situation, they didn't delay the business, and soon the rose crystal rose into the air to reconnoiter the surrounding situation.
"There seemed to be a fight on the left, close to us, because I heard the sound of metal clashing and screaming. It's just that I didn't see the specific situation because there were branches blocking me. Soon the rose crystal fell from the tree and said to Ryan.
"I also felt the loss of life. Hermione said after feeling it in the direction Rose Crystal was pointing. "And more than one life has been lost. ”
After determining the results of the investigation, the three of them immediately followed the glade in the forest towards the place where they had been detected, and after two or three minutes they heard all kinds of shouts. After breaking out of a bush, the three of them immediately saw what was happening on the dirt road in front of them.
More than 30 meters away on the road parked a few carriages, there are more than 20 people who are relying on these carriages to resist hard, of course, not all of the resisters, but at least most of them look like people. The attacker was the opposite, a group of people half the height of a human. They have flat faces, huge nostrils, pointed ears, and huge mouths. The body is unsightly yellowish-brown.
There are about 150 of these monsters, and most of them only have extremely poor equipment. However, there are 12 monsters riding on wolves that appear to have a full set of armor weapons, although the armor doesn't look like they match at all. The conductors are two human-tall and thick-haired, heavily armed monsters, who stand on a high place and point.
On one side of the human convoy, it seemed that it had reached the end of the crossbow, and there were five or six people on the ground who did not know whether they were alive or dead, and the others were a little sluggish. If there were no accidents, the ambush would have ended with a crushing defeat of the convoy.
"Hands-on. "It's easy to tell who the enemy is in the current situation, and when Ryan notified the others through his soul, he immediately condensed a bolt of lightning and shot at a monster standing on a high command, and at the same time, Hermione also shot a red and black ray of light at the other commanding monster.
The two monsters were killed instantly after being hit, and at this time, the rose crystal also flew into the air above the battlefield and shot a large number of crystal fragments to the ground, and then the whole person pounced, waving a sword with both hands and rushing into the monster group to kill. For her, this kind of monster of her height had never been seen before, and this was the perfect time to try her swordsmanship.
Although there are many of these monsters, their combat effectiveness is very average. Especially when the commander was put down in the first round, coupled with the air raid of the rose crystal just now, he focused on taking care of those wolf knights and almost annihilated them, and the morale of these monsters dropped to freezing point. Rose Crystal and the convoy guards only took advantage of the situation to cut down a dozen monsters, and the remaining monsters scattered like birds and beasts and quickly ran towards the jungle.
However, these monsters did not escape Hermione's shadow magic, especially in the face of such a large number of but not strong enemies, Hermione used the lethality of her shadow magic to the extreme, and the members of the convoy standing on the dirt road saw the little monsters in the woods running and fell silently one by one.
Soon after the last monster had its throat cut by its own shadow and died, Ryan and Hermione rushed to the battlefield just now. By this time, the two had learned the native language from the souls of the dead monsters.
Quickly out of the shop was a chubby middle-aged man dressed in a robe sewn from fine red linen and fur. He has black eyes and hair, and a very neatly trimmed mustache, and looks like an Italian overall. It's just that the sweat on his head and the dust on his body make him look a little embarrassed.
"Thank you two spellcasters, we are a caravan going to Silvermoon City to do business. If it weren't for your help, we'd be a damn goblin dinner tonight. ”
As for Ryan and Hermione, who had run the regiment a few times in private, they immediately figured out where they were. Thinking of this, Ryan spoke. "We are mages who want to pursue magical knowledge, and we heard that there is a place in Silvermoon City that is willing to teach people magic, so we want to go and study. Since you are going over there, we can just go with you, after all, we are strangers, and we really don't know much about these roads in the Northland. ”
The shop's representative easily believed what Ryan said, as Ryan had already revealed his mage status by making a move. At the same time, Silvermoon City, as the pearl of the Northland, has indeed attracted a large number of professionals, and there are not a few mages like Xiang Ryan who have come to study. The caravan members had seen quite a few of these people in Silvermoon City before.
"It is our honor that the two Venerable Masters wish to have us with us. After walking north for more than half a day, we will reach Silvermoon City. These despicable goblins only dare to do these things outside the patrol area of Silvermoon City. ”
For this caravan, the addition of two spellcasters is absolutely good news. Whether it's a reduction in risk when the caster joins, or it's advantageous to have a good relationship with two casters.
"As far as I know, Silvermoon City usually sends enough patrols to protect the security between the realms they rule. Hermione asked, thinking about what she had seen in the playbook before.
"No way, winters in the Northland are much longer than in other places. The caravan leader's face turned a little ugly. "When winter is approaching, the monsters of the north will go south and plunder everywhere, and Silvermoon City simply can't allocate enough manpower, they can only ensure that they can block a large number of enemies. ”
"Then why didn't you come over sooner?" Hermione asked.
"This young lady, some things sell better in the winter, so we take a certain risk to come to Silvermoon City at this time in order to make more money, and we don't always encounter these disgusting creatures. "The caravan leader is now more sure of Ryan's identity, Hermione's question just now is really like that of a somewhat ignorant aristocratic lady from elsewhere.
Hermione stuck out her tongue in embarrassment, then turned her head to look at the caravan cleaning the battlefield with a serious face. Fortunately, only two of the five or six people who had just fallen to the ground were killed, and the others were rescued with the help of Ryan. It's just that in this world, due to the extreme activity of magical power, the bodies of the victims must be brought to the city and buried only after the priest holds a sleeping ceremony, otherwise it is easy to become an undead and disturb the living.
It seemed that they couldn't handle everything for a while, and Ryan and the others simply started talking to the caravan leader to try to get more information.
