Startled, Franner reached out and lifted the curtain of the carriage and walked out.

The coachman squatted on the ground tremblingly with both hands on his head. According to the rules of robbery, if the coachman does this during the robbery, he will not kill people indiscriminately.

Directly in front of the carriage's ears were several large rocks, blocking the road and blocking the carriage's passage. Squatting on a stone is a thief dressed in black. The thief had a long scar on his face, which took up almost half of his face, from the center of his eyebrow to the bottom of his right ear, and it appeared that he had been severely injured.

Next to the thief, there were two thieves with long swords in their hands, and the bright swords reflected the sunlight on Flanna's face, making his heart tremble. There was a thief with a hammer on the left and right of the carriage, obviously to prevent the people in the carriage from escaping, and Flanner estimated that there must be someone behind the carriage, it seems that there were at least six thieves in this group of robbers, obviously prepared for it, and they were in a good position, and there was a magician on his side, and this time he was in trouble.

Franner didn't mention how annoyed he was, he knew that he should have insisted on hiring a few more mercenaries in Takri Town, so he had to boldly say, "A few thieves, I have fifty gold coins here, and I will take them to the bar." The younger brother is a merchant of Dorlock, and this road is often taken, so why not make a friend?"

One of the thieves picked up the money bag, opened it, looked at it, smiled and said to the thief with a scar on his face who was squatting on the stone, "Head, we will be rich this time." ”

The Scarface thief jumped down from the stone, he walked up to the thief who picked up the money bag, stretched out his hand and snatched the money bag, put it on his hand and tossed it up, and said, "Idiot, he can take out 50 gold coins for a cart of ordinary goods? There must be something better in the car, I Scar has been here for so long, it's not so easy to deceive." ”

After saying that, the scar-faced thief squinted at Franna, as if looking at a dead man, and said to his accomplices, "The old rule, everyone is killed, and everything is moved back." ”

In the short time that Franna was talking to the thieves, Ryan, who was hiding in the carriage, had already observed the surrounding situation, this group of thieves was a total of six people, distributed around him, it seemed that the method of hunting the winter wolf was not used here, the thieves not only stood very close to him, but also had 2 ordinary people around him, in case of accidental injury, it would not be troublesome.

Ryan was thinking of a way to do it, when he saw a thief with a sledgehammer next to the carriage rushing towards Flanna, he was in a hurry, and he didn't care what countermeasures he was thinking, so he hurriedly cast a magic missile. The magic missile struck the thief in the face accurately. The thief with the hammer cried out in pain, dropped the hammer in his hand, covered his face and fell to the ground, rolled a few times, and did not move.

Ryan's action startled the Scarface Thief, and when he saw the tragic condition of his companion, he hurriedly shouted, "Everyone be careful, there is a magician on the other side." ”

By this time Ryan had jumped out of the carriage, he picked up Flanner and threw him into the carriage, and said to him, "Hide inside, don't come out!" and motioned to the coachman to hide under the carriage to avoid accidental injury.

The Scarface Thief breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Ryan's appearance, and he pretended to be relaxed and said, "It turned out to be a chick." At his age, he was at most an apprentice in magic, so everyone gathered around him to don't give him time to cast his magic. ”

Hearing the leader's words, the thieves around the carriage laughed, and they all took their weapons and slowly pressed towards Ryan, carefully guarding against Ryan casting spells.

Seeing that the situation in front of him was not in his favor, Ryan did not panic, he decided to kill the leader of the other party first, a first-level magic like a magic missile, Ryan didn't even need to recite a spell, he raised his hand and cast a blow on the Scarface thief.

The Scarface Thief also reacted very quickly, he saw that the magic missile was coming too fast, raised the long sword in his hand, and blocked his face, only to hear the sound of "ping", the Scarface Thief felt that the long sword seemed to have been hit by a heavy object, and it was immediately broken in two. He escaped death, and quickly rolled on the spot, hiding behind the other thieves, and cursed in his mouth: "You idiots, don't go up quickly." Damn, kill this guy and give you 2 percent more points. ”

Hearing Scarface's reward, the other thieves plucked up their courage and rushed towards Ryan with the weapons in their hands. Looking at Franna's heart beating in the carriage, everyone knows that a magician who is besieged by a group of thieves has no time to chant spells, and a magician who can't release magic can't escape death.

Ryan didn't guess what Flanner was thinking at this time, he had already taken out the shadow and calmly looked at the approaching thief.

One of the thieves shouted, brandishing his sword and stabbing Ryan in the chest, Ryan gently leaned to the right, and his right hand used the shadow to open the thief's sword, and his left hand immediately aimed at the thief and cast a magic missile. The magic missile struck the thief in the face, and the thief's face immediately splattered with blood, like a blooming flower.

At this moment, a short sword silently stabbed Ryan in the back, and it was the thief hiding behind the carriage who detoured behind Ryan to sneak attack.

Ryan sensed his presence from the shadow on the ground, turned around, and dragged the flowering thief on his face with his left hand to block the backstab from behind him.

"Ahh The thief, who had been hit by a magic missile in his face, screamed and was quietly killed by his companions.

Realizing that his backstab had accidentally injured his companion, the thief showed no mercy, drew his short sword, kicked his companion away, and prepared to attack again, but was surprised to find that Ryan in front of him had become five.

It turned out that Ryan felt that he was fighting with a pair of six, and if he was not careful, he might be hit, and the danger was too great. He decided to do what Sensei Galib had taught, and to come out with all his strength and end the battle as soon as possible. As a result, Ryan cast a mirror spell on himself. This level 2 magic of the water system can create multiple mage mirrors, all of which will act like the mage itself, making it impossible for enemies to distinguish between real and fake.

The Scarface Thief was secretly anxious when he saw Ryan casting magic continuously, without even reciting spells. He took out his dagger and aimed it at Ryan in the middle of the group of mirrors. The dagger prepares to hit its target without mistake, but Ryan, who is hit, disappears into thin air, and the rest of the mirror remains. The target hit by the Scarface Thief is fake.

The Scarface Thief's actions prompted the other thieves to look at a mirror and attack vigorously. Soon, only 2 of Ryan's five mirrors remained.

Although the mirror technique didn't last long, enough time had been bought for Ryan to successfully complete the next spell.

A bolt of lightning flew out of Ryan's finger and struck the thief with the dagger in his hand trying to sneak up on him. The thief with the dagger didn't even have time to make a painful sound before he fell to the ground. The parts struck by the lightning were burned black, emitting a pungent black smoke.

Immediately afterward, Ryan unleashed another magic missile that knocked down another thief's weapon, and the thief who dropped it suddenly lost his courage and turned around and shouted for his life.

The only remaining thieves with hammers on Ryan's side were also affected by his companions, and he lost his weapons and followed his companions as he quickly ran towards the woods by the roadside.

Ryan certainly wouldn't let the thief run away like that, he silently recited the incantation, and a fist-sized flame formed in his hand. "Fireball. With a finger of his hand, Ryan whistled away with a hot fireball and exploded with a thud, sending the two escaped thieves into the sky and into the arms of death.

"Be careful!" came from Lane's voice behind him.

In fact, without Flanna's reminder, Ryan had already felt the wind of the Scarface Thief stabbing at the stabbing sword, not to mention that he had been prepared.

"Stone Skin" followed Ryan's whisper, and a rough layer of stone skin enveloped his body.

"Ding~" The scar-faced thief's long sword stabbed Ryan's body, but was blocked by the rough stone skin.

Ryan turned around and smiled at Franner, who reminded him, signaling that he was fine, and he actually felt inexplicably in his heart for a year: "This stone skin technique is really good, not only does it greatly increase its defense ability, but it will not affect his actions too much, but it looks too ugly." ”

The Scarface Thief has completely given up on attacking after stabbing Ryan with his longsword several times in a row and still failing to hurt him. Fight, the other party will clean up 6 of them, run, the power of the fireball explosion is too amazing, and he doesn't plan to turn into a turkey.

Suddenly, the scar-faced thief dropped the long sword in his hand, knelt at Ryan's feet, and cried bitterly: "Heroes spare their lives, the little ones are also forced by life, and they must not be able to be thieves with their talents, this profession has no future......"

Ryan didn't expect the Scarface Thief to make such a move, and was stunned. Seeing that Ryan was in control, Flanner jumped out of the carriage and walked slowly.

As Franner walked past the Scarface Thief and approached Ryan, the Scarface Thief suddenly pulled out two daggers from his boots, threw one at Ryan, and then pounced on Flanner. Flanner is unguarded and is caught by the Scarface Thieves. On the side of his head, he dodged the dagger that flew over, and was about to use the magic missile to take out the Scarface Thief, only to see Franner standing in front of the Scarface Thief. Ryan was afraid of the supreme Franna and hesitated.

At the moment when Ryan hesitated, the Scarface Thief had already taken Franna hostage, his left arm tightly choking Franna's neck, and his right hand holding the dagger on Franna's throat. In order to guard against Ryan's magic, the Scarface Thief tried to hide his body behind Flanna as much as possible, so that Ryan had no chance to make a move.

The scar-faced thief with the hostage in his hand looked at Ryan and said triumphantly, "Now I'm not afraid of your magic." As long as you let us go, I'll let you go......"

Before he finished speaking, the Scarface Thief was horrified to find that Ryan's figure began to slowly blur, getting bigger and bigger, and suddenly turned into a huge demon! This demon was as tall as more than 20 people, with ugly wings on its back, turquoise saliva flowing from its mouth, and red eyes the size of wheels looking at him, as if he had seen a delicious meal.

The Scarface Thief's hand involuntarily began to tremble, and he tried to threaten Ryan, who had turned into a demon, with the hostage in his hand, but in despair, he found that Flanner had also turned into a skeletal warrior covered in bone spurs, tearing at his arm. "Ah~~~"

The Scarface Thief let out a fierce scream, he desperately broke free from the skeleton warrior who was biting him, and ran desperately into the distance, looking back at the huge demon chasing behind him as he ran, and accidentally, the Scarface Thief tripped and fell to the ground, and he was desperate to see the 20-man tall demon lift up the paw of a carriage and stomp on himself......

Franner, on the other hand, grew his mouth and "admired" the Scarface Thief's "performance" in place with a look of surprise. After being accidentally held hostage just now, before the thief who held him hostage had finished speaking, it was as if he had seen something fearful, and he left himself and ran for his life, accidentally tripped over the body of the thief on the ground and fell to the ground, his body curled up in a ball, and he never got up again.

He looked at the thief who had fallen to the ground, and then turned his stiff neck to look at Ryan, although he didn't know what was happening, but the somewhat comical scene in front of him must be inseparable from Ryan.

Ryan saw that Flanner looked at him with a very surprised look, and the open mouth was enough to fit a fat edelweiss rabbit, and couldn't help but laugh, and softly said the answer to the riddle: "Fear Technique!"

That's when Flanner learned that when the Scarface Thief held him hostage and tried to escape for his life, Ryan cast a fear spell on the thief in order not to injure himself. But I heard that this fear spell is an indiscriminate attack on all creatures in the casting area, why is there nothing wrong with me? God, this looks like the sunny boy in the neighbor's house actually has such precise magic control! It's terrifying. I don't know which master he was a disciple of. The apprentices who came out of the trial all possessed such great power, wouldn't he, as a teacher, have even more immeasurable power? Thinking of this, Franner was full of supreme reverence for the mysterious magician in his imagination.

While Flanner was thinking, Ryan was not idle, he held the shadow in his hand and carefully examined the battlefield. Scarface, who was hit by the fear technique, was directly scared to death, and the rest of the thieves did not run away, and all six thieves were killed. Ryan took out a lot of things from the thieves' bodies, hundreds of gold coins, twenty-seven magic cores, as well as the weapons they used, and even the protective leather armor they were wearing were all put into the storage pocket by Ryan.

Fortunately, these thieves failed to rob, but were "robbed" by Ryan.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Ryan dug a large pit, buried the thief's body in it, and then used his fireball spell to blast the boulder in his way, allowing the carriage to move on.

At night, Ryan couldn't sleep over and over, and the scenes of the daytime battle flashed in Ryan's mind, Ryan didn't know that these thieves did a lot of evil, just from Scarface's sentence "The old rule, everyone is killed, and everything is moved back." "I know, this gang of thieves must have had someone in their hands before, but after all, this is the first time Ryan has killed someone, and the thought of six lives being taken away by him in a moment makes Ryan feel very uncomfortable, and after another failed attempt to sleep, he decides to go out for a walk.

Ryan stepped out of the tent lightly. It was a very clear night, and the sky was full of stars, twinkling and twinkling, like lights in the sky. Ryan walked to a stream next to the camp and sat down on a large rock.

"Alas~" Ryan sighed, picked up a small stone, and threw it out.

With a "pop", the small stone fell into the creek and splashed.

"Why, can't you sleep?" Flanna's voice remembered behind him.

"yes. Ryan didn't look back and replied, "I can't sleep." ”

Franna walked over and sat down side by side with Ryan.

In fact, Franner was not asleep either, he was shocked by Ryan's performance during the day. Ryan was calm and unhurried against the six thieves, not only successively casting the fire magic "Fireball Technique", the electric magic "Lightning", the water magic "Mirror Magic", the earth magic "Stone Skin Technique", the arcane magic "Magic Missile", but also the spiritual magic "Fear Technique", not only that, but Ryan also showed his agility in the face of the siege of the thieves, oh my God, all magicians + swordsmen?

Although Franner does not know magic, he often travels back and forth between the imperial capital of Fernando, the commercial center of Yegnas City, and the southern city of Mochizuki City, and he inevitably has to deal with all kinds of people, and he has some knowledge of magic. Normally, magicians choose to specialize in one department, or minor in another to make up for their shortcomings, and today's performance of Ryan completely changed Franna's perception of magic.

In the camping tent just now, Flanner sensed Ryan's actions, he didn't expect Ryan to care so much about today's events, seeing that Ryan couldn't calm down for a long time, he decided to help Ryan. Therefore, Flanner gently followed Ryan out.

Franner also picked a stone and threw it into the stream, watching the stream splash, he said softly to Ryan, "Still confused about the day's events?"

"Hmm. Ryan nodded.

Franner smiled and said, "Ryan, I know that you are a very kind teenager, and I believe that your world is full of curiosity and longing, and that everything in this world is beautiful. He paused, then changed his tone, and continued, "But have you thought about it? If I hadn't hired you, I and the coachman would have died to-day." Moreover, it can be heard from their tone that they have done such a thing more than once, so I don't know how many lives have been deprived by them. ”

Speaking of this, Franner looked directly into this Ryan's eyes and said solemnly: "Suppose everyone is like this gang of thieves, taking the lives of others by force and destroying the beauty of this world, then what will become of the Eslar Continent? There will only be endless killing! Infinite fear! Ruthless destruction!"

The more Flanner spoke, the more excited he became, and he said to Ryan in a slightly hoarse voice: "Therefore by getting rid of this gang of thieves, you are protecting the lives of other people who are incapable of protecting themselves! Your actions will be commended! Because it restores order to the world, so that so good people can live better!"
