Chapter Ninety-One: Meet Oz Again
Oz looked back and saw that the group of young men he was carrying had already surrounded him. Oz laughed and scolded: "You guys, do you want to be lazy?"
A young man in the crowd shouted, "Captain, who is this young man? I heard you call him Ryan? Is he the captain you used to be when you played in the AtlΓ©tico Royale?"
"Wow, he's so young, he's younger than me!" said another young man in the crowd in amazement.
"Alright! Alright!" Oz shouted, "That's the end of today's training." But none of you are allowed to go, old place, I invite you to drink!"
"Great!" cheered the young men, who grimaced at Oz and ran away. Oz shook his head, as if he was a little dissatisfied with the young men, but Ryan knew from the smile in the corner of Oz's eyes that Oz actually admired them.
"Let's go find Alendor and Franna first, and then find a place to get together. β
"Flanner?"
"yes, haha, I forgot to tell you, I've now formed a mercenary group of my own, and Allendo and Flanner are our teammates. β
"Ah, yes, yes. I didn't expect you to be the leader of a mercenary group now. β
"But this mercenary group plus me is only three people. β
"Ahem!ahem!" Oz, who was happy for Ryan, coughed all of a sudden, and after half a sound, he held back a sentence: "Every powerful mercenary group will have the first three members, well, keep trying, keep trying." β
"Hah!"
"Let's go, let's drink!"
"So as soon as you returned to Seabreeze City, you joined the Tempest Mercenary Regiment?" Ryan asked Oz, who was sitting next to him, in a small bar.
"yes. Oz picked up the large glass in front of him, tilted his neck, and drank all the wine inside. Oz had just told Ryan about his experience after the Imperial Capital, and he was a heavy drinker and told it as he drank, and after telling all his stories, his face was slightly rosy from drinking.
Oz slammed his glass on the table, and then shouted, "Two more dozen, the best 'Black Iron Dwarf'." Don't mix it with water!"
"You're still so good at drinking. Alendor smiled and said to Oz, "But now there's no Red to drink with you, and there's no unlimited Bordeaux wine from Faraz's house." β
Oz rolled his eyes, he burped, and said to Allendo, "Bordeaux, drink it tastes! But I haven't seen them for a long time, and I'm still thinking about them. β
"There will be a chance. Ryan said, "Do you need my help training those newbies now?"
Oz shook his head and said to Ryan, "It's good that you're willing to help, but I'm afraid you don't have that long." As you said earlier, you'll be heading north soon. What a pity, but I always remember your special training for us. It was an experience I will never forget. To be honest, the ability to improve in special training is nothing, but the kind of combat thinking you bring to us will definitely benefit people for a lifetime. β
Speaking of this, Oz changed the topic and returned to the group of young people just now: "Those little guys are all very good, they have potential, and they are willing to endure hardships." When I was training them, I also joined you in the guidance you gave us at that time, and they knew my past experiences, but they pestered me to tell you your stories. In their eyes, you are what they will be trying to catch up with in the future. β
Ryan and Elendo's faces blushed slightly, Elendor was fine, he was about the same age as those young people, and Ryan was much younger than those young people, he was not yet twenty years old this year. Being idolized by a group of people who are older than themselves, neither Ryan nor Allendo are yet to get used to this feeling.
Ryan already had experience, and he immediately diverted the topic and said, "It's also rare that you can be a squad leader with a team of dozens of people. As good friends, Alendor and I naturally want you to get better and better. We meet here again today, and if we don't try our best to help you, we're afraid we won't be able to sleep at night. β
Hearing the sincerity of Ryan's words, Oz was also moved, he thought for a while and said: "According to the rules of the Tempest Mercenary Regiment, they can provide equipment, weapons, etc. for adventures, but the training of personnel is the responsibility of the captain. With you in person, I think they'll all be very happy. I can directly be the captain of this squad, in fact, I am still stained with your light, hehe, the second place in the Royal Athletic Competition, the South has not entered the final of the Athletic Competition for a long time, not to mention that we lost to a powerful magician, and there is no shame. β
"Ah, digress again. Oz shook his head with a wry smile and said, "It's off topic again, alas." In fact, a squad composed entirely of novices, the hardest time is when the first three missions are completed. That was the most critical time for them to transform the knowledge they gained from training into the experience they had accumulated in actual combat. Originally, the formation of this new team required some veteran players as the backbone support, but unfortunately, in order to expand rapidly, Hurricane may have the idea of taking advantage of the little fame we gained in competitive tournaments. They provide sufficient materials, but in terms of personnel, they do not provide experienced veterans. β
Before Ryan could speak, Franner suddenly interjected: "Oz, although it is the first time I have met you, we are both friends of Ryan, so we are also friends. I won't say much else, you can take this. With that, Franner handed Oz a storage pocket, the same one he had gotten from Green.
Oz was stunned, he looked at Flanna, not knowing what Flanner meant. Ryan immediately said: "Hehe, Oz, you have made a fortune, it is rare for Flanark to bleed profusely, and there are good things in it that he desperately relented." β
Franner smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, anyway, with you by my side, can you still make me hungry when you're full?"
"Ahem!ahem!" Ryan choked on Franner's words, Franner's words were really direct, but then again, the contents of that pocket were basically all because of Ryan.
Allendo patted Oz on the shoulder, with an excited look on his face, which was a look of joy for Oz: "You can open it and take a look, I guarantee that you are satisfied." Ha ha. β
Oz opened his pocket with a question, and was immediately startled, it contained a lot of gold coins and gems, but these could not surprise Oz so much, and what surprised him the most was the thick stack of scrolls in one corner of his pocket. Oz took a cursory look at it, a large number of first-level magic missile scrolls, and a small number of fireball and lightning scrolls, which were enough to arm two of their own squads.
Oz quickly closed his pockets, looked around vigilantly, and then whispered to Ryan, "The God of Strength is above, Ryan, you shouldn't have robbed a magic item store, right?"
"Hahahaha. The three of them laughed together. Flanner still kept a little graceful so as not to embarrass Oz, while Allendo and Ryan were so unscrupulous that their stomachs began to twitch when they laughed.
After a while, Allendo slowly regained his composure, and he said to Oz with a look of admiration, "That was Lane himself." β
"Did it yourself?" Oz was startled when he heard this, and then immediately reacted, "Damn it, Ryan." Oh no, I'm not scolding you. Ryan you hit me again, I remember when you carved that door panel for me half a year ago, it seemed like ...... Uh, you've only been studying with Master Victor for half a year, and you can make such a large number of scrolls by yourself?"
Ryan remembered from Oz's words when he first taught himself how to make magic arrays, and now he thinks that the works at that time were indeed rough enough, but now his skills can be regarded as improving by leaps and bounds, which is of course due to Victor's credit, and the biggest reason is because of the characteristics of his magic.
The biggest feature of Ryan's magic is a lot of practical practice, which makes his magic ability unique, and making magic scrolls is often like actually releasing magic, although the speed of release is very slow (because it is too fast, it is not to charge the scroll, but to launch the scroll as a target), but each time it is made, after all, it is equivalent to consuming and releasing a mana of the same magic, and Ryan, the most important thing is mana, on the contrary, his current bottleneck is that he only masters a large number of low-level magic, and cannot release higher-level magicγ
After some excuses, Oz finally accepted the magic scrolls, after all, these things could make Oz's team from a rookie mercenary team into a powerful quasi-magic legion in an instant. As for the storage pocket and other things in it, Oz resolutely did not want it, in Oz's words, that is: "If I coveted these things, I just stayed in the imperial capital, and followed the Imperial Finance Minister and the Empire's first magician, would I still starve to death?"
During the two-day reunion with Oz, Ryan and Allendo also spent an afternoon with the youngsters Oz was training, and Ryan and Allendo taught the youngsters a lot of experience that was eye-opening. At the same time, under everyone's strong request, Ryan and Alendor reluctantly joined forces to accept the common challenge of these two dozen young people.
Three times in a row, Allendo alone shot to easily defeat these twenty or so young people. The third time, Allendo didn't even move, just whistled to make Xiaobai move his body. The silver-maned wolf king is worthy of being the elite of the wind wolves, don't look at its usual lazy appearance, but once it arrives on the battlefield, it immediately changes its appearance, its speed-like speed has become a nightmare for this group of young people, and before they can react, their throats and other vital points are touched by Xiaobai, if it is in the actual battle, they have already bitten their throats and died.
Oz knew that none of his group were opponents of Ryan and Allendo, but these young people had no actual combat experience, and they had fulfilled their own requirements in training, so they were probably self-righteous and felt that they were very strong, and they just used Ryan to teach these little guys a little lesson, so that they knew that they were still far behind.
However, Oz also had a big headache for his two former companions, he thought that their strength had improved a lot, but there was a limit, after all, everyone had been separated for more than half a year. But who knew that in less than a year, their strength would grow so rapidly, if they were now with their strength, maybe only two people could defeat the Royal Knight Squad, right? There is no need for the other four team members at all. Oz knew in his heart that if Faras's strength did not increase more than three times as fast as his own, and then he competed with Ryan and them, he would only become a drag on them. These two guys, how did they train it?
Looking at the young man with a gray face, Oz had to smile bitterly in his heart, it seems that this matter is on fire, but fortunately, he is also Ryan's former teammate, and what he said is naturally convincing, and when Ryan and they leave, they can also slowly restore their confidence, I believe that at that time, coupled with Ryan's magic scroll, this mercenary team should be able to surprise all the **, right?
