Chapter 52: The Aftermath of Mochizuki City (2)

Just a few numbers made Clifford's face change slightly, although he had already been mentally prepared for this in his heart.At this time, what Clifford had in his hand was the statistical loss of Mochizuki City, in today's daytime battle, Mochizuki City lost about 200 magicians, including more than 20 high-level magicians and above, and more than 20 high-level mages completely lost their combat effectiveness, these people are his companions who fought against Ryan, although the injuries on their bodies are not fatal, but they also have to stay in bed for several months. As for the loss of other personnel and property, it is also very huge, but it is insignificant compared to the strategic resources of the magician, so it can be said that today's battle has greatly damaged the vitality of Mochizuki City.

Freya pulled Ryan a few steps away and whispered about the dwarven king Reynolds. It turned out that His Majesty, who was a straightforward drinker, did not want to show his traces at all, so Freya left him in the camp outside the city. In addition, Cassano's three troops will leave the city tonight and return to the camp outside the city to avoid unnecessary trouble, and Reynolds will be in charge, so as to reassure Ryan.

Ryan and Freya had only chatted for a few words, and Clifford had already completely read the statistics, and the latter's face was naturally a little pale, but he still forced a smile, but unfortunately there was a trace of worry in his eyes. Clifford's mind naturally couldn't hide Freya's insight, she smiled and pushed Ryan, and said with a smile: "Hey, I can promise Mochizuki City today, this matter will fall on you." ”

"What's the matter?" Ryan asked casually, stunned.

"Well, I promised to pass on the magic for Mochizuki City. Freya naturally said, "But who can compare with you in this respect?" ”

"Me?"

"Of course, who can go from an ordinary magic apprentice to a legendary powerhouse in the realm in 10 years, Lane, you can know that even in the old days of the Ancients and the era of heroes, such a magical genius was unique. ”

Ryan heard Freya praise himself in front of Crawford, his face flushed slightly, and he hurriedly said modestly: "I also know that luck is good, in fact, my knowledge of magic is not as good as Fani's." I still have so much to learn. ”

"Luck is also part of strength, besides, even if I can master a huge amount of knowledge through the inheritance of memory, but if I don't rely on these artifacts, I can't compete with you. Fulia said this solemnly, and then her tone changed and became much softer: "Okay, this is the first time people have begged you, can you bear to refuse me?"

"I ......" Ryan scratched his head, not knowing what to say to Freya.

Clifford, who was on the side, fully understood the relationship between Freya and Ryan just from these few words, and he was secretly frightened, knowing that the future of Mochizuki City now is only in the thought of this little magician in front of him, whether it is his own strength, or the relationship with Freya or Faras, it is enough to change the direction of Mochizuki City, and the best way to plan for the future is to intertwine Ryan's interests with Mochizuki City, so as to achieve the point of both glory and loss.

So Clifford spoke: "It's better to be like this, on behalf of the Mochizuki City Magic Guild, I invite you to become the honorary president here, you can use the manpower and material resources in the guild at will, and you don't need to bear any responsibilities and obligations." Of course, if you have time, Ryan, you might as well give more guidance to the young apprentices in Mochizuki City, and if your student Barbara wants to, you can also enter the guild to learn magic at any time. Well, what do you think?"

Ryan had a bitter face, he didn't know what to say, he didn't understand that Clifford was doing this to win over himself, but the price paid by this archmage was definitely attractive, at least as soon as Ryan agreed, he would immediately become the uncrowned king of the Mochizuki City Magic Guild, and no matter how close the relationship between the Imperial Capital Magic Guild was with him, it was impossible to come up with such a condition that was close to serving Ryan.

"Since the Mochizuki City Magic Guild is so sincere, then I will promise you on behalf of Ryan. Freya didn't wait for Ryan to open her mouth to refuse, she looked at Ryan's hesitant expression, and said with a smile: "This little thing doesn't have to be thought about repeatedly, right? ”

Ryan nodded with a wry smile, agreeing to Clifford's offer. Freya tried her best to promote this, I'm afraid it's not just because the elves also participated in the construction of Mochizuki City back then, maybe there are some factors that resist the expansion of human forces to the southern silent forest, but these things Ryan really doesn't bother to think about, anyway, Freya has a deep affection for him, just like Faras, it is absolutely impossible to do anything unfavorable to herself.

Besides, Ryan also felt that if Mochizuki City was completely defeated, then there would be a situation where the Imperial Capital Magic Guild would be dominant, not to mention that the Mochizuki City Magic Guild's power in the south of the continent was deeply entrenched, and once it was completely eradicated, it would definitely cause an uproar, and maybe there would be turmoil again. As long as you think about the only magic guild left on the continent, I am afraid that in a few years, human magicians will have problems such as slackness, and maybe they will put all kinds of magic on the shelf, in order to absolutely master this power, which is not conducive to the inheritance of magic.

Ryan's own strength is constantly moving between life and death, and if he hadn't left his hometown, even if he worked hard, he would have reached the level of an intermediate magician by now, which would be very remarkable. Of course, this method is too dangerous, after all, not everyone is as lucky as Ryan, but if there are two magic guilds with similar strength competing with each other, then it is also very beneficial for the improvement of the overall strength of human magic in the future, of course, this competition must be benign, and it must be carried out with a good attitude, rather than fighting to the death. This is a bit of a trick to grasp, and it would be much better if there was a strong force in the middle to balance these aspects, and Ryan and his Cassano were in a position to take on the responsibility.

In just a few breaths, Ryan had already thought about the future direction of magic on the continent, the Imperial Capital Magic Guild in the north and the Mochizuki City Magic Guild in the south, plus Ryan, a legendary powerhouse who had a close relationship with both sides, and the Cassano Magic Guild he established, just enough to achieve a perfect balance.

The Cassano Magic Guild will be sandwiched between the two magic guilds in the north and south, acting as a buffer, with the close relationship between Ryan and the two sides, just in the middle. Regardless of which of the two magic guilds in the north and south rises strongly, the Cassano Magic Guild will fall to the other side to balance the balance of magical power on the continent, so that the minds of the two magic guild members can be focused on specializing in magic.

Ryan even had a preliminary idea that he planned to hold a magical exchange conference at Tekken Castle every few years to promote the exchange of magic between the north and the south, and to stimulate their desire to continue to improve their strength, and finally make magic truly integrate into the human race. Unconsciously, the fate of the Mochizuki City Magic Guild and even the magic pattern of the entire continent were decided in the blink of an eye.

That night, Clifford held a grand dinner on behalf of Mochizuki City to entertain Ryan and his party, but Freya and Adra, who were eligible to participate, did not come, one of them was an elven queen with a noble status, so naturally they would not participate in such worldly things, while the other shouldered the heavy responsibility of commanding the army, of course, it was impossible to leave the camp. So when Clifford accompanied Ryan into the dinner venue, he was left with just Franner and Barbara.

This time, Cassano's attack on Mochizuki City, Franner personally stepped in to take care of the entire logistics, so that Ryan didn't have to worry about his worries at all. Now that the battle has been won, Ryan has handed over this matter to Franner, and the latter has tried his best to maneuver between the representatives of the various forces in Mochizuki City, and the harvest is so rich that after a long time, Franner is sighing: If Mochizuki City can work together, then the power of the city alone is enough to compete with the imperial capital, but unfortunately they have too many power disputes internally, so that there are people who hinder everything, and ten percent of the strength will be exerted at most fifty percent.

Ryan stretched and slowly sat up from the bed, the enthusiasm of those nobles in Mochizuki City last night made Ryan tremble when he thought about it, and sometimes Ryan even thought that if these guys were willing to put this kind of energy into learning magic, he was afraid that Mochizuki City would immediately have hundreds of more Grand Magister-level figures. It's a pity that these obese guys are too keen on intrigue, which makes Mochizuki City have the title of the magic capital, but they don't really show such power to the outside world, otherwise it's just that with Ryan's three troops of only more than 10,000 people, how can it compete with Mochizuki City, which has thousands of magicians?

With a "squeak", the door to Ryan's room was pushed open, and two young women dressed as magic apprentices saw that Ryan had sat up on the bed, so they said, "Teacher, are you awake?"

Ryan casually agreed, "Hmm." The two apprentices respectfully withdrew, and in less than two minutes, they walked in one by one with a dozen young men who were also dressed in magic apprentice robes. These apprentices were both men and women, but none of them were very old, the youngest was about 12 or 13 years old, and the oldest was no more than 22 years old, and the most surprising thing was that each of them had a very good talent for magic.

These magic apprentices were not very skilled in their movements, but it could be seen that they were doing things very seriously, these things that should have been done by servants, they did not mean to be reluctant in the slightest, but each had an expression of honor on their faces. Ryan was stunned and asked, "What are you?"
