Four purple magic missiles made four different trajectories in the dim woods, accurately hitting four different leaves of four adjacent trees.

"Let's have something to eat!" Alendor's voice rang in his ears. Ryan turned his head, and suddenly saw a bonfire burning not far away, Alendor and Flanner were sitting around the campfire, and an unknown beast was roasting on the fire, and the fragrance slowly wafted into Ryan's nose.

"Okay!" Ryan nodded excitedly, he stretched a long lazy waist, and walked towards Allendo, but he didn't take a few steps, his movements stiffened, because he saw a person, yes, it was Grimm Wizard. The poor fellow was now tied with a rope and a large mass of stuff in his mouth.

"Ahh

"Haha, Ryan, don't come over yet!" Flanner saw that Ryan's face turned from joy to annoyance, and said in time, "Come and try Ellendo's craftsmanship, it smells really good." Oh, it's the first time I've eaten it. ”

Ryan walked a few steps to the campfire and sat down next to Xiaobai, who was lying lazily on the ground.

"Right...... Right...... No ......" Ryan scratched the back of his head, he wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only stammered and apologized to Alendor and Franna.

Before Ryan could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Elendor, who smiled and said to Ryan, "Don't feel remorse or apologies, Ryan, my brother. I know why you're like this, maybe it really shouldn't be, but it's happened after all. After saying that, Alendor tore off one of his front legs and handed it to Ryan: "Let's eat first, I'll talk about something later." You haven't eaten in almost a whole day, haven't you?"

When Ryan heard Allendo say this, he remembered that he had eaten a little bacon and toast when he got up in the morning, and that it was almost noon that happened to Green, and he was really hungry. He took the front leg that Allendo had handed him, took a big bite of it, and then jumped up with a "take".

"It's hot, it's hot!" Ryan pulled the water bladder out of his body and took a long sip of water. Who told him not to pay attention, the freshly baked food, still dripping with grease on it, he actually took a bite of it.

"Haha. Alendor and Franner smiled kindly, and Franner took the other front leg that Alendor had handed him, blew hard, and took a careful bite. Allendo threw Xiaobai a hind leg, and Xiaobai bit it and began to bite. Now Xiaobai and Allendo have a good tacit understanding, and they no longer have to hide when they were just subdued.

Alendor picked up the last leg and ate it slowly. All that was left of the woods was the "crackling" sound of the campfire burning and the sound of people chewing their food.

After enjoying a delicious meal, Ryan touched the blisters on his mouth and said to Ellen and Franner, "There is no need to explain too much, I made a mistake that I shouldn't have made, but fortunately there were no serious consequences." Although I am the head of the regiment, I must be punished for making mistakes......"

"Don't take it to heart, Ryan. Alendor interrupted Ryan's self-examination, he pointed to Green, who was lying on the side, unable to speak because of something stuffed in his mouth, but a pair of eyes glancing around, and said lightly: "With this opponent, he is not qualified to let you use all your strength." ”

"Don't always regret what happened in the past, what has happened can no longer be changed, no matter what your mood is. It's better to focus on how to do it in the future. Actually, I don't think it's that much of a mistake, we are not gods, we will inevitably make mistakes, didn't you say, 'There is no perfect individual, only a perfect team'. We are brothers, and we will naturally take care of each other on the battlefield, so how can we watch our brothers get injured and not intervene because of a so-called rule? If you have to say something, I think you should put your heart at ease now, don't you think that your biggest mistake today is to be too enthusiastic about the improvement of your strength? If you can still maintain a calm heart, you will defeat your opponent mercilessly, and then think slowly. ”

Although Allendo's words were not loud, Ryan heard it like a thunderclap in his ears, yes, he was too much of a pursuit of power, since the defeat of the Royal Athletic Competition, Ryan's subconscious was slowly filled with a desire for power, because his failure in the Athletic Tournament was that his own strength was inferior to his opponent.

This desire is naturally a good thing, after all, there is no desire, no pursuit, and there is no motivation to concentrate on the study of those boring magic. However, Ryan ignored a very important point, now Ryan in that aspect, his strength has far surpassed his peers, and even surpassed some magicians who have specialized in magic for decades, a boy who is not yet 20 years old has relatively strong strength, but he has not been able to grasp this power in time, so there is today's desperate thing to improve his strength.

Ryan nodded at Elendo, expressing his approval of his words, and at the same time secretly glad in his heart, fortunately there was Alendor by Ryan's side, otherwise he really didn't realize this. These two good friends who hit it off at first sight don't need to say too many kind words to each other.

In fact, Ryan's current mentality is still very common among magicians. Generally speaking, if a magician can devote himself to his studies, and if he himself is more intelligent, he will slowly increase his strength, that is, he will master more magic and have more mana.

As the power of magic increases, the magicians will gradually find that spells that they have not been able to cast with all their strength can be used with ease, so they are filled with a strong confidence that if I am given time, I can unleash the power of destruction to change everything.

However, there is always a limit to manpower, and no matter how smart a magician is, no matter how diligent he is, he will fall into a bottleneck, and it will be difficult to continue to improve his strength. At this time, the magician will face an embarrassing situation, and it is naturally impossible to give up, but it is difficult to continue to achieve results. As a result, some magicians will lose their way, forgetting their original purpose of learning magic, and instead embark on a path of blind pursuit of power, because they can no longer give up the superiority of magicians.

Many talented mages have thus degenerated into dark mages, even going so far as to sign pacts with demons to use their souls to take the ethereal power, and a few mages will perform an evil spell to transform themselves into lichs. The Lich form, which doesn't need to eat or sleep, and has a very long life, is in a sense really the best form for a mage to specialize in magic.

Ryan's actions today are entirely caused by this thirst for power. Thankfully, Ryan is still very young, and he has a year of adventure, but this has not changed Ryan's simple and kind heart, and he has not fallen into the crazy pursuit of power. With the help of his good friend Elendo, Ryan survives the crisis caused by his first thirst for power in his life.

After solving this matter, Ryan's heart suddenly relaxed a lot, and then Franner's words made him fall into distress again.

"I say, Captain Lane. This is our first time on a mission, what do you think we should do now?" Flanna said to Ryan, casually pointing to the sturdy Green and Yarman who were lying on the side, tied up.

Ryan had a wry smile on his face, it seemed that his luck was really not very good, as if the last time he followed the six arrow mercenary regiments to the ancient king's tomb, this was also the case. That time, Ryan and the others killed all their opponents, but this time, Ryan really didn't know whether to do that or not.

This is the first mission of the Ryan mercenary group, is it just a silent failure? Ryan is really unwilling in his heart, he grabs his hair in distress, and his thoughts don't know where to drift.

After thinking about it, Ryan didn't come up with a good solution, he could only say helplessly: "The dead are buried in place, these two are not dead, let's take them back and hand them over to the Mercenary Guild, see what they say, you can't just take the task for the first time and don't send a messenger, right? Go back and interrogate them and see what they ...... Oh, by the way, I remember that there were traces of wind blade magic on the trunk of the tree blocking the way, it must have been the last time they did it, and it would be better to know the identities of those who were killed. I think that with this evidence, we should be able to make a difference. ”

"Okay!" Alendor nodded in agreement with Flanna. Although the solution that Ryan said was not very good, it was indeed a real solution to the problem. The experienced Franner immediately added, "Why don't we interrogate them overnight, Ryan you are in charge of the magician, and Alendor asks the butler." Then compare their words together, and you will not be afraid that they will tell lies. ”

"Good!" replied Ryan and Allendo. Ryan walked over to Grimm, grabbed the collar of his wizard's robes, picked him up, and walked off into the distance. Allendo, on the other hand, grabbed Yarman and walked out in the opposite direction of Ryan.

Seeing that Ryan and Allendo were about to go away, Franner took out a dagger, cut two pieces of meat from the roasted food, and threw them to Allendo and Ryan, respectively. Franner grinned and said, "Give them food, if they are willing to be obedient." Otherwise, kill them! Honestly, at least they can or will be free in heaven and be dealt with by the law. If you don't tell a lie honestly, you will lose your life, as long as you are not a fool, you will not do this business at a loss, right?"
