Chapter Fifty-Three: Ryan's New Apprentice
The magic apprentices were busy with each other, but two young female magic apprentices did not participate in the process, but stood respectfully by Lane's bedside. In order not to cause you trouble, we will be by your side at all times. β
"This ......," Lane remembered what Clifford had said yesterday, and he opened his mouth to speak, when one of the magic apprentices next to him handed him a glass of warm water, and then brought a wooden bucket to serve him to wash. Ryan grew up, even if he became the undisputed overlord in Cassano, but his personal life was still self-care, and he did not enjoy this kind of clothes to reach out and open his mouth, and his heart was naturally very awkward.
"I'm really not used to you doing this, so let me do it myself. As soon as Ryan spoke, he saw that the faces of the magic apprentices in his room had changed drastically, as if he had made a big mistake. Ryan was even more strange in his heart, he cleared his throat and asked, "Can anyone tell me what the hell is going on?"
The female magic apprentice who answered Ryan's question at the beginning saw that Ryan was also full of confusion, and vaguely guessed the doubts in his heart, so he plucked up the courage to explain to Ryan, it turned out that after Ryan and Clifford reached an agreement yesterday, Clifford immediately gathered these young apprentices who were selected by Mochizuki City and had outstanding magical talents, and let them familiarize themselves with the information about Ryan overnight to understand Ryan's preferences, and then the hundred or so magic apprentices were divided into several groups, and they followed Ryan to serve him every day, hoping that Ryan could point themγ Due to the large number of people, once this group of magic apprentices left Lane's side, the next time it was their turn would be ten days later.
Such a rare opportunity was wasted, no matter who it was, it would not be willing, so naturally there was such an expression. If it weren't for the fact that this female magic apprentice remembered that in the materials he read last night, Ryan was a very easy-going person on weekdays, and he was unwilling to lose the opportunity he was currently having, he would never dare to summon up the courage to say these reasons, because once Ryan turned his face, the consequences would be extremely serious.
After listening to these explanations, Ryan put his hand on his forehead, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this Clifford's approach simply grabbed his key point, these magic apprentices acted as servants directly by his side, and he was afraid that he couldn't get rid of it, which was really a headache, but Ryan also knew very well that he could never refuse such kindness, otherwise it would cause suspicion on Clifford's side, and that would be an extraneous branch.
The apprentice who handed the glass of water in front of Ryan kept his arm in this position, Ryan smiled bitterly, had to take the glass from his hand, hurriedly finished these trivial tasks, and then sat on the bed and ate the breakfast that was served, although the juicy roast meat was still so delicious, but Ryan didn't know what it tasted like in his mouth.
After ten minutes of doing everything, Ryan waved his hand, rejecting the Magister's robes from the magic apprentices, and instead walked out of the room wearing his crumpled robe of the stars. Those magic apprentices didn't know that Ryan's robe was a powerful magic item, and thought it was some kind of quirk of this legendary mage, so they naturally didn't dare to say anything, and they all obediently followed Ryan at the right distance, neither bringing Ryan any unpleasant feelings, nor leaving him too far.
Ryan walked out of the room, and at a glance saw the archmage Clifford standing in the courtyard, who saw Ryan and immediately smiled and said, "How is it?" If you are not satisfied with anything, you can do so......"
"I mean, I'm not used to this aristocratic life, can I not do this?, besides, it's ...... to let these magic apprentices do these things like a servant," Ryan said to Clifford with a wry smile.
"Hahahaha, you really love to laugh. Clifford was waiting here today to calm Ryan's possible refusal, so he first used laughter to ease Ryan's mood before continuing: "This is not a trivial thing, don't believe you go back and ask them to see which of them is not voluntary? I said Ryan, do you know how many people on this continent want to be the retinue of a legendary mage? If you don't believe it, go to Yuexi Square and shout, if less than 3,000 magic apprentices volunteer to join, I will lose my head to you!"
Ryan was dumbfounded by Clifford's words, so he had to accept this thing that he was not very reluctant to, and Clifford's heart was secretly funny, he read Ryan's deeds carefully again last night, and found that this terrifying legendary powerhouse is not the kind of person who is very assertive, as long as others arrange things for him, and do not touch his bottom line, then Ryan can also be accommodating. Today, he said this according to the words prepared in advance, and sure enough, he convinced Ryan, and it was not in vain that he had worked hard all night.
"But there are a few things I want to say earlier. Ryan thought for a moment and said, "Well, you gather all the magic apprentices, and I'll say it in front of all of them." β
Clifford smiled slightly, he clapped his palms lightly, and immediately from the hidden courtyard gate was gently pushed open, one by one the magic apprentices walked in one by one, each of them with an expression of excitement and anticipation on their faces, but they did not make any noise when they walked, let alone exchange words with each other.
"Ahem!" Ryan couldn't help coughing a few times, it wasn't that he had a cold, but he didn't know what to say about this relentless pursuit arrangement of Clifford, this Grand Magister of Mochizuki City completely inherited Ryan's combat style, once he had a slight upper hand, he immediately launched a steady stream of back moves, guiding the final situation in his favor, and Ryan just accidentally said a word, and fell into the opponent's "trap".
At this point, it is impossible for Ryan to refuse, not to mention that his heart is also full of expectations, the oldest of these young magic apprentices in front of him is only 24 years old, and the youngest is only a little more than 10 years old, their common feature is that they are extremely magically talented, Ryan can say without exaggeration that the magic talent of these people far exceeds Ryan, not to mention the ordinary apprentices he took in Cassano.
Looking at the pair of eyes full of anticipation in front of him, Ryan suddenly felt as if he was burdened with a heavy burden, Ryan has experienced many wars, and naturally knows very well how much a powerful mage can play in a battle, if the more than 100 magic apprentices in front of him can grow more than 10 great mages, then in the battle against the undead army, the human side will be more sure, if these great mages who have received Ryan's own hands can use the combined casting skills to release a large forbidden spell... Thinking of this, Ryan suddenly had a little bit of anticipation in his heart.
The scene fell silent, only the heavy breathing of those magic apprentices, for them, following Ryan to learn magic is not only their own growth, but also involves the future of Mochizuki City, after all, Mochizuki City has no way to fight Ryan, If Ryan is willing to teach them magic, then with this legendary mage in the middle, the Imperial Capital Magic Guild will not force this old opponent who has been fighting with them for hundreds of years.
"I didn't expect that there were so many excellent seeds in Mochizuki City, and your qualifications were the only ones I had ever seen in my life, and even I myself was a little jealous of you, because I asked myself that I couldn't compare to any of you. The silence was broken by Ryan, who spoke eloquently to more than 100 apprentices: "However, I believe you also know that the road of magic is not just a smooth sailing with qualifications, in fact, the legendary powerhouses that have appeared in the history of mankind are often not extremely intelligent, but all of them are persevering people. In the journey of pursuing strength, a heart that can endure loneliness is the most important. β
"It's a shame to say that I, the so-called legendary mage, don't know anything about the two dozen basic courses that a wizard must master, and Fani has laughed at me many times because of this. By the time Ryan said this, those magic apprentices had been completely attracted by the legendary mage's words, a young man about their age had actually stepped into the realm of legends, how could this not make these magic apprentices who were still a little immature in their hearts full of all kinds of fantasies. Not only them, but even the archmage Clifford listened intently to Ryan tell everything, after all, such a secret, if it wasn't for the frank and straightforward words of the person concerned, it would be difficult for outsiders to know.
"Fani was born in the Imperial Capital Magic Guild, she has received systematic magical training since she was a child, and I think there may be many subtle differences between Mochizuki City and the Imperial Capital at this point, but the general direction is absolutely the same. From the day I started, I spent 3 years of precious time studying the magic texts and memorizing all kinds of magic spells. Then meditate slowly to gain magical energy...... I don't need to go into details, because I'm sure any of you are more familiar with it than I am. β
"If I'm not mistaken, each and every one of you was selected for your excellent performance in this onboarding process. At this point, Ryan glanced at Clifford behind him, who nodded at him, indicating that Ryan was not wrong.
