Two days later, the group returned from hunting in the mountains. After a few days of not seeing him, Ryan misses his father too, and he, like everyone else, welcomes him back outside the town. The results of this hunt were very good, and Ryan's father returned with a full load. Ryan helped his father carry back 2 dead mountain antelopes and a living bush dog.

After dinner in the evening, Ryan presented his own rite of passage to his parents.

Ryan's mother was worried about Ryan and didn't want Ryan to go. But the usually taciturn father just thought about it and firmly agreed to Ryan's request. Although Ryan's mother is a little reluctant, as a woman, she has always obeyed Ryan's father's arrangement in major family affairs.

Ryan was surprised by his father's decision, and he thought he would have to wait days even if his father agreed. Ryan's father looked at his son's slightly immature face and said pityingly: "Your mother and I love you very much, but you are a man, and sooner or later you will have to go out independently." Besides, I am very relieved of you, Mr. Galib, I believe in him and I believe in my children. ”

Looking at his father's weathered but caring face, Ryan couldn't help but cry.

The next day, Ryan and his parents arrived in front of Galib's cabin. Galib, Dranay, and Nemo and Mefu were already waiting there.

Ryan is usually busy learning martial arts and magic with his teacher, and he doesn't have any special good friends in the town, that is, Naimo, who studied with Galib, has a better relationship. Therefore, this time, Ryan's coming-of-age trial only told Namo and Meifu 2 people.

His father took out his savings for years for Lane's coming-of-age trials, and his mother packed his belongings for him overnight. Teacher Galib gives Ryan a short sword, while Mr. Drane gives Ryan a magic storage pocket.

This magic storage pocket is almost a must-have for adventurers in their adventure life, and he looks like a small pocket that he usually wears on his body. But when it is opened, it is a large space that can store a large number of items.

Ryan only knew about the existence of the storage pocket from the usual conversation between Galib and Dralane, and he was very envious, but he didn't expect to have one today. After Mr. Dranay briefly demonstrated how to use the storage pocket, Ryan was already able to put his luggage and the short sword that Mr. Galib gave him very skillfully.

Due to the rush of time, Naimo and Maev prepared something special, and Meifu just strung the sixteen fangs of the pigar hunted by Naimo overnight, made a bracelet, and gave it to Ryan.

Under everyone's silent gaze, Ryan slowly walked away.

When night falls, the wind blows gently, making people feel a little cool in the warm month of July. Ryan sat by the campfire, carefully removed the freshly cooked meat, blew on it with his mouth, and ate it in large gulps.

The meat of the edelweiss rabbit was delicious, which made Ryan eat it with relish, and he also thought about it in his head: "This edelweiss rabbit tastes really good, although it is not as delicious as the mother's cooking... Well, it's time to fight, why are you homesick when you only go out in the morning?" Ryan smiled self-deprecatingly and began to think about his itinerary.

Although his father gave Ryan a lot of gold coins, these are not enough for this coming-of-age trial, plus Ryan has to find a few partners to complete the trial together, and there are still many places to spend money!

"It seems that we have to register a mercenary first," Ryan said in his heart, "Completing tasks to earn money can also improve yourself." However, there are less than 4 months left before the competitive competition, and the task that is too troublesome may not be completed. There is also the choice of partners, this is the most headache, where to find the right one?"

Ryan thought about it for a long time and felt that things had to be done one by one, and he set himself the first goal: to go to Takri Town first, become a mercenary, and earn money by completing mercenary tasks. If you have the opportunity to work with others, give it a try.

After dinner, Ryan stood up, stretched long, and patted his stomach again. Well, it's so comfortable to eat.

Ryan added a few branches to the campfire, looked at the flames that were getting stronger and stronger, and nodded, estimating that the branches would burn until dawn. He walked to the big tree next to him, climbed it with agility, and sat firmly on the forked trunk.

When Ryan was a child, he followed Galib into the Hengduan Mountains many times, and his father was also an excellent hunter in the town, and he had already memorized the basics of survival in the wild: if a person sleeps in the forest, if he lights a bonfire, he can more effectively prevent monsters, like wolves, snakes, and other monsters that threaten people are afraid of fire, so they dare not come, and if they can sleep on a clean tree, it is cool and safe. Of course, if you have the opportunity, you should also buy a tent for camping, so that you are not afraid of bad weather.

Thinking of shopping, Ryan couldn't help but take out the storage pocket that his teacher Delaney had given him. This thing is really good for itself, although it looks like a small pocket on the outside, just tie it to your body, but in fact, there is a big space inside, which seems to be caused by alchemy and space magic. But Ryan himself doesn't know much about this, anyway, as long as he can use it, why bother thinking about things he doesn't understand, and if he has the opportunity to ask Teacher Draena again?

Ryan rummaged through his storage pockets and took out the dagger that Mr. Galib had given him under a few pieces of clothing. The dagger was about the same length as his forearm, and the scabbard was made of the skin of a very common Takri. Ryan gripped the handle of the sword, and with a slight force on his wrist, he pulled the short sword out.

The body of the short sword was pitch black, and it was not reflective in the bright moonlight, and it looked very ordinary, which made Ryan feel slightly disappointed. He held the short sword lightly in his right hand and slashed at the branch, but he didn't expect to cut off an arm-thick branch without much effort.

Seeing the effect of the sword test in front of him, Ryan was taken aback, he didn't expect this short sword to look inconspicuous, but it was so sharp. So he added some strength and stabbed the short sword into the trunk of the tree, and in Lane's expectation, the short sword sank deep into the tree, and there was not even a sound!

Ryan was ecstatic in his heart, Teacher Galib really gave himself a good gift, with this short sword, his best close-quarters fast attack is even more threatening.

Ryan hurriedly drew his dagger and examined the blade carefully, hoping to find out why it was sharp. However, Ryan didn't know anything about weapon making, but he had only heard Dralane talk about some simple knowledge about alchemy and adding magic to equipment, and he didn't find anything after looking at it for a long time, but he just barely decided that it was a short sword with added magic, due to the presence of magic, this short sword was extremely sharp, and it did not have the luster and reflective characteristics of metal like ordinary weapons. In addition, Ryan only found 2 small characters on the sword, "Shadow Death", which is probably the name of this short sword.

Maybe it was because of the first time he went out, or maybe it was because the sharpness of the shadow made Ryan excited, but in short, Ryan just couldn't sleep, tossed all night, and barely slept for a while until it was almost dawn.

Early the next morning, Ryan woke up early. He doused the campfire with some embers in the water bladder, then filled the water bladder with water in the nearby stream, ate the few pieces of rabbit meat left from the previous night, and walked towards Tariq town in the rising sun.

Tariq Town is not very far from Fog Town, only 1 and a half days away. Before noon, Ryan arrived in the town of Takri.

This is Ryan's second visit, and the last time was when he was about 3 or 4 years old. At that time, he was too young, and Ryan had no memory of Takri Town. However, this did not bother Ryan, who learned the method used by the protagonist of the adventure story that Galib had told him, took out two copper coins, and asked a child who was playing outside to take him to the door of the mercenary guild.

This square building is very old, at least 100 years old, and there is a wooden plaque hanging at its door, which, despite years of exposure to the wind and sun, can still clearly identify the intersecting emblem of a sword and a staff. Ryan recalled some of the things that Galib had told him about the Mercenary Guild, pushed open the door of the Mercenary Guild, and strode inside.

Although many years have passed, although Galib has not had an adventurous life in Takri Town, everything is exactly the same as Galib said, and after spending a gold coin, Ryan becomes a member of the Mercenary Guild and obtains a magic crystal that symbolizes his identity. With it, Ryan can accept missions in any mercenary guild on the continent of Aslar.

The first thing Ryan did after becoming a mercenary was to carefully inquire about the recently released mercenary missions, and found that most of the tasks were errands, such as helping someone find a lost pet, investigating a nobleman's mistress, and delivering the package to the designated place.

After going through all the mercenary missions a few times, Ryan finally found a barely acceptable task: a small mountain village called Anceno Village, about 1 day away from the town of Takri, was attacked by the Winter Wolf, and the publisher of the mercenary mission, the head of this small mountain village, issued a mission to eliminate the Warcraft Winter Wolf 3 days ago, and the reward was a bonus of five gold coins.

Ryan, who was born in Orion, is still more experienced in tasks such as clearing wild beasts, wouldn't it be better to hunt it before Victory Day? Ryan smiled, he didn't participate in this year's hunt, it seems that he made up for it this time.

After going through the relevant formalities with the staff of the Mercenary Guild, Ryan took on the task. In order to make it easier to find Anceno Village, Ryan bought a map by the way, and the towns around Takri Town such as Anceno Village and Dense Fog Town are marked in detail, so that travelers can reach their destination more conveniently.

Taking over the task, Ryan decided to wander around town and buy some useful items along the way.

The Mercenary Guild is located on the busiest street in Takri Town, right outside the center of the town. The streets are lined with shops, and the sounds of selling and bargaining are heard one after another.

Ryan walked slowly through the crowd, and when he saw that there were Warcraft cores or furs for sale, he stopped to look at them and ask for the price. After looking at more than a dozen shops, Ryan found that there were nothing particularly good here, and the monster furs sold were far inferior to those produced in his hometown of Dense Mist, so he lost interest in continuing shopping, so he decided to stop and find a place to eat.

Just as Ryan was looking around for a suitable inn, he found that there was a shop not far in front of him with a hammer, which was the symbol of the blacksmith shop, and Ryan suddenly forgot the reality of his hunger and decided to go and have a look.

The blacksmith shop is not large, and it only takes about ten steps from one side to the other. There is a stove on the far right of the shop, and next to the stove are all kinds of tools, and two middle-aged blacksmiths are wearing their upper bodies, wielding a hammer in front of the stove, and they are trying to build something. A young man who looked like he was supposed to be an apprentice was pulling the bellows desperately beside him. Seeing that a guest came to the door, one of the middle-aged men put down the hammer and greeted him.

Ryan was very satisfied with the Shadow Death Short Sword that Galib gave him, but he usually didn't have any tools to skin the monsters, and it was too extravagant to always use the Shadow Death, so Ryan planned to buy a dagger. In addition, this mission will deal with a pack of winter wolves, and Ryan also plans to buy ten traps, which would be best if he could buy a bow and arrow.

Ryan told the blacksmith what he thought, and the middle-aged blacksmith thought for a moment and said, "I have daggers in stock here, and you can see that they are all hanging over there." After speaking, he pointed with his hand. Ryan looked in the direction pointed by the middle-aged blacksmith, and sure enough, he saw six or seven unopened daggers hanging in a corner of the original furnace, of different sizes and styles.

"But this trap?" said the middle-aged blacksmith, after a pause, "I don't have any stock here." Last month, I ordered a batch of goods in Dense Fog Town, which was delivered only ten days ago, and in recent days, I have received a big deal, and there is a place where I have ordered fifty pairs, and I am in a hurry."

Ryan heard the name of Fog Town, and his heart was a little kind. It's right to think about it, isn't this this this month's hunting, you must customize a new batch of clips, but I don't know how long it will take to get the new batch finished, so I asked: "Then how long will it take you to make it at the earliest?"

The middle-aged blacksmith calculated and said, "There are only three of us here, and we have to take care of the business in the store, and it will take about 5 days to finish this batch of goods, and the 10 you ordered will take almost 2 days." You'll have to wait at least another 7 days. ”

"Seven days?" Ryan thought to himself, "It seems that this mission is not worth counting on. ”

"Forget it, I'll pick a dagger," Ryan said disappointed.

"Whatever you want, you go over there and take a look, just call me, my goods here may not be as exquisite as those in the big cities, but they are definitely easy to use." The middle-aged blacksmith explained a few words, then turned around and picked up the hammer and continued to beat.

In fact, Ryan didn't have any special requirements for daggers, as long as they were about the same, so he quickly chose a dagger.

The middle-aged blacksmith looked up at Ryan's chosen style and walked into the room. After a while, he took out an identical dagger from the room, handed it to Ryan, and said, "Two silver coins." ”

Ryan took the dagger and asked strangely, "Why don't you hang out this blade?"

The middle-aged blacksmith smiled: "Hang this kind of outside" He pointed to the dagger that had not been sharpened with his hand, and continued: "It's useless for others to take it, I always have to watch the store." ”

Ryan also smiled: "I see." He took a closer look at the one in his hand, and indeed, although the workmanship of the small blacksmith shop was a little rougher, it was still quite sharp, and it seemed that he could use it when he dialed the skin of the monster in the future.

Ryan took out the silver coin and paid for the dagger, put the dagger in the storage pocket, and asked the blacksmith, "Do you have a bow and arrows here?"

The middle-aged blacksmith said, "Not really. I am not qualified to make this bow and arrow, this thing will only be sold in a special weapon shop, and you have to register it carefully after you buy it, which is too troublesome. ”

Ryan saw that he had nothing left to buy, and walked out of the blacksmith's shop.

When Ryan came out of the blacksmith's shop, it was already afternoon, and after feeling the protest of his stomach again, he remembered that he hadn't eaten lunch yet, so he made up his mind to find a place to eat well, and this time he would not change it anyway.

The town of Takri was relatively prosperous, but not very large, and after Lane had walked through two streets, he sat down at a table in a small inn. From yesterday morning to this afternoon, Ryan had eaten an edelweiss rabbit, and his stomach was already hungry.

Ryan ordered a large plate of roasted Takri beef, and asked for 1 roasted pork patty and a large glass of cool juice. Soon, the innkeeper brought him what he had asked for. He looked at the steaming pork pie and the fragrant barbecue, and couldn't help but move his index finger and enjoy his delicious meal.

After enjoying a hearty meal, Ryan burped and felt very comfortable. He called the innkeeper and told him to prepare a room for himself. Because he had to get up early tomorrow, for convenience, he bought some hard bread and a few pieces of roast beef for breakfast tomorrow.

After paying the money, Ryan followed the innkeeper to his booked room.

The room was just upstairs from Lane's dining place, not too big, but relatively clean. There was only one bed and a table in the room, and two chairs that were not very sturdy, and they crunched when they sat on. Ryan felt that the rattling chair was not at all comfortable to sit on, and simply lay down on the bed. Soon, he entered the dream.
