Chapter 22 Run-in
Faras didn't get angry at Red's interjection, she continued, "Actually, in a mercenary squad like this, all the combat intentions are formulated around the magicians in the team. It can be said that the mage is the core of the entire squad. For example, I am good at fire and water magic, fire magic is mainly for offense, and water magic is mainly used for defense and control, so the battle plan of the whole team will be reflected according to my magic characteristics. ”
Ryan asked, "I don't understand this at all, can you explain it in more detail?"
Faras wondered in her heart: "Why didn't Ryan's magic teacher tell him this carefully?, then how dare he go out and take risks alone, not afraid of a thief stabbing him in the back?"
But thinking about it, Farath still answered Ryan's question seriously: "For example, the attack magic I often use is "Flame Scorching", "Flame Spray", "Flame Arrow", "Fireball Technique" and "Ice Arrow", most of them are fire magic, and when Red blesses Oz for protection, he will use the "Protective Flame" magic, and Oz will try to rush to the front as much as possible when fighting, leaving room for my Fireball Technique to explode, so as not to accidentally injure himself. ”
Seeing that Ryan still didn't quite understand, Faraz gave an example: "For example, if there is an earth-based magician in the team, who is good at protection, then this mercenary team will generally have more fighters, because the magician's protective magic blessing will make them fight safer." However, a team with a fire-type mage does not need as many fighters, because a fireball spell will most likely kill a few enemies, and all of them will accidentally injure their own people. ”
Ryan listened to Farath's explanation and somewhat understood, he said, "Give full play to the strengths of every member of the team. Is that what it looks like?"
Faras nodded to Ryan and said, "That's right, that's pretty much what it means. That's why we used to come in and find a mage when we were choosing teammates, because Red is a great priest, his magic is good enough to protect Oz, and all we lack is attack power. ”
Red smiled smugly when he heard Farass praise him.
Faras continued: "So the tacit understanding and cooperation between us is mainly reflected in whether Red can give Oz a protective magic in time to avoid being accidentally injured by his own people, and whether Oz can attract the enemy and buy me time. As long as I can successfully cast the magic, I'm almost halfway there. In addition, I am afraid that it can only be cultivated slowly in actual combat. ”
Faras added, "Ryan, you are responsible for casting magic on my behalf to attack the enemy after my magic runs out until I regain my magic." Elendor, like Alina, usually the two of you take turns to be on guard, protecting me and Ryan as you see fit, or sneaking up on your opponent during the fight. ”
Ryan and Alendor nodded their heads, indicating that they understood their responsibilities in the team.
After Faras finished saying this, she swept everyone with her eyes, and when she saw that there was no problem, she said, "If everyone is okay, then we will be in Alpha City today." ”
Around noon, Ress and his party returned to Elfa City. Faraz took everyone directly to the pride of the lion king and enjoyed a hearty lunch.
After the meal, before Faras checked out, Ryan pulled out the badge that Flanner had given him engraved with the pride of the lion king. The waitress on the side was also stunned when she saw the badge in Ryan's hand, it was the first time she had seen someone use this badge that could enjoy VIP treatment for free.
The waitress didn't dare to slack off, she took the badge and checked it carefully, it was indeed true. She quickly said to Ryan, "Dear sir, you and your friends can go, and you are welcome to dine at the Pride of the Lion King again." ”
It was also strange for Faras to see the badge in Ryan's hand, she had naturally seen it before, but the people who possessed it were very prominent figures, not even her father. Unexpectedly, today I saw it in Ryan.
Faras was curious, but she couldn't help asking. Because this kind of badge given by the pride of the lion king is sometimes not public, and many people who have this kind of badge are not willing to publicize it, so why bother? However, Farass guessed that this badge should belong to Ryan's magic teacher, and Ryan just took it out and used it.
Before leaving, the waitress respectfully asked if there was anything else she could serve. Falath simply asked the waitress to rent three carriages for herself.
The Lion King's Pride Inn was very efficient, and in a few moments, three brand-new carriages stopped in front of the inn.
Faras put Ryan and Elendor in the rear, Oz and Red in the middle, and Alina in the front carriage, and whispered to the coachman to the city of Hermida. The coachman's face showed embarrassment, he thought that a few aristocratic lords wanted to put on a show and ride around the city in a carriage, but he didn't expect to go to Elmida, which was a three-day journey. However, as soon as Faras pulled out 10 gold coins, the coachman's face immediately changed to a respectful expression, and although his carriage was brand new, it was only 20 silver coins a day to rent. After six days of round-trip to the city of Hermida, and the three carriages were less than four gold coins in total, he waved his whip and drove the carriage away.
Ryan sat in the last carriage in the queue, looking out the carriage window with relish. Seeing the trees on the side of the road and the boulders moving back quickly, Ryan felt that the carriage felt very good, but it was a little more crowded. For when he had gone out of the city, Elendor whistled and beckoned the two wind wolves, who, in the paleness of the coachman, beckoned them to jump into the carriage. The carriage, which could only be used for two people, had two more wind wolves, which naturally seemed a little crowded.
Along the way, Faras and the members of the Lace team almost put on a full show, she didn't seem to be out on an adventure, but like a leisurely aristocrat who came out to play in the mountains and rivers, if there was any fly in the ointment, it seemed that she was about to bring dozens of servants with her.
For three meals a day, Faras will order the best food, and stay in a luxurious room at night. The gold coins in her hand bloomed like flowing water, and she didn't even frown.
Ryan looked extremely depressed beside him, in his heart, since he was out on an adventure, he had to walk first, so as to achieve the purpose of increasing knowledge, Faras They went to Elmida, and directly chose the carriage. In addition to looking at the scenery outside, this scenery is certainly pleasing to the eye, but when it comes to the dangerous moment, I am afraid that I will not be able to help the task, right? What's more, when Ryan was in Elfa City, he took Faras and they only walked a short distance, and they were tired of Faras and Red's sweat, in that state, when they met the enemy, they were afraid that their strength would be greatly reduced, right? This distance was just right for exercising on the ground where he was insufficient, but unfortunately Faras chose to ride in a carriage.
In order to improve the combat effectiveness and tacit understanding of the entire Lace team, Ryan proposed many times during the break that the entire Lace team members should conduct at least one simulated combat drill, but they were all rejected by Faras on the grounds that it was inconvenient during the journey and that this kind of cooperation drill had little effectI've gone through so many adventures and there are no problems at all. However, in order to appease Ryan, Faras specially promised him that when he arrived at Elmida, he would find a place to conduct the combat coordination exercise that Ryan wanted.
Ryan shook his head helplessly, since the name of the team is called Lace Squad, then it is naturally up to Farath to be in charge, and he should cooperate more when the time comes.
Red listens to Farath for everything, and Oz hasn't heard him say a few words throughout the day, but he's only drinking faster than anyone else. Other than that, it's the endless conversation between the two ladies, Faras and Alina. Ryan also has his own way, he sits in the carriage, his body swaying with the bumps of the carriage, but his heart is silently chanting magic spells, constantly casting extremely weakened versions of various magic, flames, arcs in his hands, according to Ryan's intentions brisk jumping, Ryan is so happy with this game of magic control that he soon forgets about Farath's extravagant vacation trip.
