Chapter 113: Cursed Swamp (2)
"After the war, it's not that no one has ever gone in, in fact, the ancestors of our three families have all organized expeditions to enter there, and there is a thick fog all day long, and the further you go to the center, the bigger the fog becomes, and people can't discern the direction when they stand inside, either they get lost and trapped in it and die slowly, or they somehow walk back to the same place. A lucky few may find the right path, but the strength of the magical beasts there is very strong, and ordinary people can't fight against it at all, and there is even a terrible miasma in the depths of the swamp, once you get caught in it, you will be poisoned and killed immediately, well, there are also people who see wandering Templars, they have not completed their mission, so they will never be able to rest in peace...... In short, after losing a lot of hands, our ancestors gave up. ”
"I see, then I'm looking forward to the upcoming journey to the Cursed Swamp. After listening to Adams's narration, Ryan not only did not feel afraid, but was also very excited, after participating in the defense of the imperial capital, Ryan almost never had the experience of walking on the line of death again, and now there is such an opportunity, Ryan of course hopes to be able to go on an adventure.
"Oh, please don't do that!" Adams saw that his deliberately exaggerated persuasion not only had no effect, but made Ryan eager to try, and he was annoyed in his heart, so he had to say truthfully: "Fabia, what is the situation in there, we don't know at all now, but since no adventurer has really penetrated into it for so many years, and there are so many terrible legends, it all shows that the Cursed Swamp is an extremely dangerous place, and you are now the soul of the entire Cassano, if you have any accidents." ......”
Ryan shook his head slightly, and he said to Adams and Carter, "As long as you are alive, there will always be some danger." Even if I hid in Tekken Castle every day, there was a chance that I would encounter an assassin sent by another faction, and perhaps some careerist would go to war without hesitation...... In short, the only thing that can really protect yourself when danger comes is your own strength, and the only way to quickly improve your strength is to participate in actual combat. ”
"Wars like the unification of Cassano were simply a kind of boring killing for me, which did not improve my strength, and now that I have such an opportunity, of course I have to try. In addition, I will bring a lot of people with me when I go to the imperial capital this time, and I just take advantage of this opportunity to conduct an actual combat exercise. ”
"I'm still against it, because your decision is too hasty!" Seeing that he couldn't convince Ryan, Adams couldn't help but become a lot louder: "Please think about the entire people of Cassano, and don't put yourself in danger, because it is not only your safety, but also the future of Cassano's 200,000 people!"
"What's wrong?" Vivian and Adra, who were fascinated by admiring the sea jade, both heard Adams's words, and they looked at Ryan and the others dozens of meters away in surprise, feeling a little strange in their hearts, because Adams was usually very calm and had never lost his temper like just now.
Vivien handed the Sea Lady back to the merchant, and she took Adela by the hand and walked towards Ryan. Adams now regretted a little, no matter how correct his intentions were, but it was not right to argue with Ryan in front of everyone, because it would damage the prestige of those in high positions.
Vivien and Adela soon came to Ryan's side, Vivien gently squeezed Adra's hand, and the latter snuggled up to his father's side in understanding, while Vivien herself came to Ryan's side with a smile and asked with an intimate expression, "What's wrong?" Did you do something bad and be found out by Adams?"
Ryan smiled wryly and rubbed his nose, not knowing what to say to Vivien. The disagreement between him and Adams just now is actually a dead quarter, from the identity of an overlord, Ryan must ensure his own safety, especially if he does not have his own bloodline, otherwise once he has something to do, it is easy to cause chaos in the territory.
But Ryan can become this overlord, not relying on the family, the army these factors, but his own magical strength, in order to ensure that he can really occupy the position of this overlord, Ryan must improve his own strength, the fastest way to improve his strength is to take risks, hovering between life and death, but taking risks will put himself in danger, which is contrary to the identity of the overlord.
So Ryan didn't know what to say to Vivien, theoretically speaking, there was nothing wrong with either side of his argument with Adams, but the fault was that Ryan's two different identities had a disagreement over this matter. While Ryan was still struggling with how to explain, Adela had already learned the general situation from her father, and she walked up to Vivien in a few steps and whispered the whole thing to Vivien.
Vivian has been a mercenary for ten years, of course she understands Ryan's intentions, so she did not hesitate to stand on Ryan's side, Vivian said to Adams: "Actually, this matter is very simple, we are not an ordinary mercenary group, we can form a small army to go there to see, if everything goes well, naturally there is no need to say much, in case things are not as you imagined, just go back the same way." ”
"However, in 200 years, no mercenary group has actually entered the heart of the Damned Swamp......" Adams blurted out.
"That's right, but in 200 years, no one has really unified the entire Cassano Plain!" Vivien interrupted Adams, she smiled at Ryan, and continued to turn to Adams, "I used to be a mercenary, and I had adventures with Fabia, and I should be the one who knows him best here." If you're like me and see Fabia kill a poisonous scorpion lion with a snap of your fingers, you'll understand how strong my confidence in him is, and I believe that there will definitely be unknown powerful beasts in the Cursed Swamp, but as long as you are careful not to fall into the siege of a large number of monsters, I don't think there are many monsters that can hurt Fabia. ”
Adams listened to Vivien's words and fell silent, and after a long moment, he suddenly spoke, "Well, I'll also go on an adventure in the Cursed Swamp, but you must take me with you." And you have to promise us that if the situation is critical, you can leave us and get out on your own. ”
Ryan shook his head slightly, he stopped what Adams was about to say next with his eyes, and said to himself: "I am not in the habit of abandoning my companions, I will take you with me, and then come back with you." Rest assured, I'm taking risks to improve my strength, not to die. ”
