Franna's voice came far away in the quiet night, and his words gave Ryan a glimmer of clarity in his heart, and when Ryan figured it all out, he suddenly felt an empowering sensation in his heart, and he said loudly to himself, "Since you think you are doing the right thing, there is nothing to be confused about." ”

Flanna took in the whole change of Ryan, saw Ryan's whole person become relaxed, knew that he had eliminated the demons in his heart, and was very happy for him.

Ryan felt a little tired in his heart, after all, there had been a fierce battle during the day, and his mental and physical strength were exhausted, he stood up and said, "Thank you, Flanna, I figured it out." ”

Seeing that Ryan was about to go back to rest, Flanner hesitated for a moment and decided to tell Ryan the truth, he was a little embarrassed and said, "Ryan, that, there is something, there is something I want to talk to you about." ”

Lane heard Franner's stammering tone and couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter?

Franner said: "Ryan, in fact, I didn't tell the truth at first, there is actually a more valuable thing in the goods I shipped this time......"

Ryan smiled and said, "Flanna, I was inspired by what the thief said today, I guess you must have some more precious goods, so you only have to hire a mercenary group of more than five people in Takri Town, and you will hire me for more than twice the commission." But what kind of goods you ship has nothing to do with me. ”

"Is it okay?" Flanna repeated Ryan's words in confusion.

"yes. Ryan said with great certainty: "I'm coming to Elfa anyway, this time I walked with your friend on the road, not only did I eat and drink for nothing, but I also got 50 gold coins, where to find such a good thing." ”

Flanner saw that Ryan didn't care about some of the things he had hidden, and he also put down a big stone in his heart, if Ryan was obsessed with this, then his efforts in the past few days would be in vain, and it would bring a potential enemy to the Chamber of Commerce.

This time, the result was better than he had predicted, and he offered 2 times the price, which made Ryan make a very good impression of himself, and he regarded himself as a friend. Flanner has been in business for many years and knows that a good impression will help him to make further contact with the other person more easily. Wayne Garth, president of the Dorlock Business League and known as a business genius, once said, "A good start is half the battle." "I and Ryan have also experienced a danger together, and being able to venture with a future magician is an experience that is rare in the entire Eslar continent, and I believe that everything I have done will definitely pay off at some point in the future.

After an unforgettable adventure, Franner and Ryan have a better relationship.

On the last day of the trip, Franner warmly invited Ryan to his home in Jergnas City, and suggested that Ryan go to Elfa's Magic Guild to evaluate the mage level, and vaguely reminded Ryan not to expose his strength too much in front of others. No matter who it is, how can he not be surprised to see that Ryan can silently perform five series of magic in a row, and even some magic has already done it smoothly? Especially when Ryan is preparing to participate in the Royal Athletic Competition, his opponent will definitely use all kinds of methods to find Ryan's information, understand and master Ryan's strength, so that he can make targeted preparations. Therefore, it is best to hide your strength as much as possible before the game.

Assuming that Ryan's opponents know Ryan's strengths, they will target him against his shortcomings. If Ryan can hide some of his strength, he can save his life at a critical time. For example, when a thief who didn't know that Ryan would use stone skin magic attacked Ryan, he was desperate to find that his unmistakable knife was blocked by the thick stone skin, and I believe that his face would be very exciting. But if the thief knew about Ryan's strength, he might have used a military crossbow to sneak up on him from a distance.

Ryan is very grateful for Flanna's reminder that he really doesn't have a lot of experience in this area. And Ryan is very interested in the matter of assessing the level of magicians, he thinks that having a title of magician should be a better choice of teammates, after all, for mercenaries who are adventuring outside, everyone wants their companions to be as strong as possible, and they are ready to go after completing this mission.

Of course, Flanner didn't ask much about the martial arts that Ryan had revealed, after all, everyone had their own life-saving skills. So of course, Ryan didn't bother to explain.

When the sun was setting and the sky was full of sunset, the carriage drove into the city of Elfa.

The coachman seemed to be very familiar with Elfa City, and without waiting for Franna to speak, he crossed most of the city and parked the carriage outside the door of a luxury hotel.

Ryan was enjoying the view of Elfa when he suddenly felt the carriage stop, and he lifted it and jumped down.

The doorman in red and blue clothes at the door of the luxury hotel had already greeted him, and when he saw Ryan jumping down, his face smiled like a flower, and he said respectfully: "Dear sir, is there anything I can do for you?"

Ryan had no experience in this area, and he was hesitating to say something when Franner stepped out of the carriage.

Seeing Franna's figure, the doorman's smile became even brighter, and he hurriedly said: "It turned out to be Lord Franna's distinguished guest, hurry, hurry, please inside!"

With a calm expression, Franna took Ryan's hand and strode into the luxury hotel. Ryan had never seen anything like this, but he had secretly decided in his heart that no matter what happened, it would be pushed on Flanner. He looked up at the sign hanging at the door of the inn, which carved a lifelike golden lion. It should be the name of this hotel, right?

Flanner pulled Ryan as he walked and said to the doorman who was following him, "Old rule, prepare two of the best noble rooms, next to each other." Plus, we're all hungry, so let's get a table for dinner. ”

After speaking, he directly pulled Ryan to a luxuriously decorated private room.

The luxury inn was very efficient, and I saw a few young and beautiful waitresses coming and going, and soon a sumptuous dinner was set in front of Franna and Ryan. Franner waved his hand to signal that he didn't need to be served, and the two female waitresses standing behind him quietly walked out.

Seeing that only himself and Ryan were left in the entire private room, Flanner explained with a smile: "This inn is called 'The Pride of the Lion King', and 20 years ago, Lord Orlando, the head of the Royal Knights, stayed in the imperial capital to participate in the Royal Athletic Tournament, and later he became the champion and was appointed by His Majesty the King as the deputy head of the Royal Knights. Because the Royal Order uses the golden lion as its emblem, isn't his commander a brave lion king?

It was the first time Ryan had heard such a story, and he scanned the whole room, and saw that the knights' spears and swords hanging on the walls were all glittering gold, and the tables and chairs were carved from the more precious wood. In addition, there were exquisite decorations everywhere, and he nodded and said: "I see that the layout here is very luxurious, I don't know much about those weapons, but the Wangtian wood used for this table and chair I have seen seems to be only produced in the depths of the Hengduan Mountains." ”

"That's right. Franna nodded, he was a little surprised by Ryan's knowledge, he said, "I didn't expect Ryan to know Wangtianmu?"

Ryan nodded and said, "Once, Master and I went into the depths of the Hengduan Mountain Range, where there was a place full of tall trees. Master said that these trees are desperately trying to grow upwards in order to compete for sunlight, so they all grow very tall. When I stood on the ground and looked up, these trees seemed to reach into the sky, and if I stood on them, I could see the gods in the sky. I believe that's where its name comes from. ”

Flanner misunderstood what Ryan meant, thinking that the master of magic had taken his disciple Ryan deep into the Hengduan Mountains, but he didn't expect that Ryan was indeed going with his teacher, but it was Teacher Galib who taught him martial arts.

The two talked and enjoyed a delicious meal. The "Pride of the Lion King" brand is not something that ordinary people can play, and naturally it has its unique place. Ryan, who ate this meal, danced with his eyebrows, and sighed again and again, it would be good if he came out early, so that he could eat such a delicious meal early.

After dinner, Ryan and Franna were led back to their rooms by the waiter. Ryan lay on the bed, looking at the luxurious decoration of the room, a little unbelieving that he could live in such a room, but as a magician, Ryan trained his mind control with Mr. Dranay, and soon he got rid of his cranky thoughts and entered a deep dream.

I slept until the next day, when the sun rose overhead. Ryan sat on the bed and couldn't help but shake his head, it seems that he is not very accustomed to this kind of luxury, for many years, he has been waking up before dawn, and then running around the town twenty times with a bundle of birch trees on his back, almost every time he has to wait until he finishes running, the sun has just come out!

Just as Ryan was reviewing himself, Franner's voice came from outside: "Ryan, are you up?"

Ryan heard Franner calling to himself, jumped out of bed, jumped to the ground, quickly got dressed, and opened the door.

Franner was already standing outside in full dress, his politeness had been lost from getting into place and being stomped on a few times when he was held hostage by Scarface, and now he was wearing a new hat and clothes.

Flanner saw Ryan come out and smiled and said to him, "Did you sleep well last night?"

Ryan shook his head and said, "It's just that I slept so well, I'm not used to it at all." ”

Flanner laughed and said, "Slowly get used to it." Let's go to breakfast. ”

Ryan followed Flanner towards the restaurant. It was still the same private room from last night, and Ryan and Franner enjoyed their breakfast together.

After breakfast, Flanner proposes to go to the Mercenary Guild to settle the quest rewards, and Ryan agrees.

In the carriage, seeing Flanna's relaxed face, without the anxiety and uneasiness hidden under his usual smile, Ryan was a little strange and asked why.

Franner smiled and said: "Yesterday was completed, I have already handed over the goods, I am now light, of course relaxed." ”

Ryan thought about it for a moment, but didn't remember when Franner had handed over to someone else, and felt very strange in his heart. Flanner guessed what Ryan was thinking, and he smiled and said, "Actually, the pride of the lion king is the property of our Dorlock Chamber of Commerce. And that thing isn't huge, a storage pocket can fit it. ”

Hearing Franner's explanation, Ryan suddenly realized. No wonder Franna entered the pride of the Lion King yesterday as if he was back in his own home, so it turned out to be like this. Since you're home, you can hand over your goods at any time.

Soon, the carriage arrived at the door of the Mercenary Guild of Elfa City. Franna and Ryan stepped out of the carriage one after the other.

Ryan raised his head and carefully took a look at the huge building with the spire in front of him: the entire building was made of boulders, very strong, Ryan even felt a trace of the earth element from this boulder, believing that it was blessed with earth magic when it was built; the building was as tall as ten people, and its appearance was broken in some places, full of the vicissitudes of the world; on a thick sky-looking tree at the entrance of the building, the mercenary guild logo with a sword and wand was hung. Neither the choice of materials nor the sophistication of the workmanship could be compared to the one in Takri, and Ryan walked to the palm-sized gravel floor, which should have been cleaned and looked clean. And Ryan found that these palm-sized gravel were not laid at random, he could clearly see a sharp sword and a magic wand crossed together, obviously the designer spent a lot of effort, and most importantly, in the short moment when Ryan stepped out of the carriage and walked towards the gate of the mercenary guild, more than 3 groups of adventurers had already walked out of it and passed by Ryan. The number of these 3 groups of adventurers exceeded 20, which was already the total number of mercenary guilds in Takri Town in a day.

Ryan followed Flanner into the Mercenary Guild. The wide hall made Ryan's eyes shine, looking at the past, the whole hall was clean and clean, and there were basically no decorations, but in Ryan's heart, it was more peaceful than the decoration of the pride of the lion king, and adventurers in all kinds of clothes shuttled through the hall, each busy with their own affairs. Seeing someone come in, countless pairs of eyes looked at Franna and Ryan in unison. Franner seemed to have experienced such a situation often, he didn't care, and took Ryan directly to the mercenary task desk located in the corner of the hall with a big grin.

In front of the mercenary mission desk was a beautiful lady, about 30 years old, wearing a uniform blue and white work uniform, seeing Franner and Ryan, she greeted her very warmly and said, "Good afternoon, my name is Lucy, what can I do for you?"

Franner carefully explained to Lucy the situation of his escort mission in Takri Town, saying that the mercenaries around him had completed the task, and he was very satisfied, and now he would settle the account. Lucy skillfully operated, and soon, the relevant formalities were completed for Flanner, and Ryan also took a small bag of gold coins from her.

Ryan suddenly took so many gold coins, feeling a little embarrassed, hoping that Flanner would get some of it back. Franner smiled and said, "Ryan, gold coins can be counted one by one, but my life cannot be measured by gold coins. Take it, you deserve it. Ryan felt that there was some truth in Flanna's words, and accepted the gold coin.

With everything in order, Ryan was ready to take a stroll around Elfa City, after all, it was his first time in such a large city with a population of more than 1 million, and Ryan also planned to find a blacksmith shop and sell the loot he had "scraped" a few days ago. Just as he was about to turn to leave, he accidentally spotted a bounty notice posted behind Lucy.

The sign that caught Ryan's attention depicted a man with a long scar on his face, which ran from the center of his eyebrow to the bottom of his right ear, a feature that was exactly the same as the thief he had killed the other day.

Franner saw Ryan suddenly staring at Lucy, and thought that Ryan thought that others were beautiful, and just wanted to make fun of him, Ryan suddenly spoke: "Flanna, look! Is the thief painted on the bounty exactly the same as the scarface we met the day before yesterday?"

Franner followed Ryan's gaze and saw a familiar face. He hurriedly asked Lucy.

Lucy said to Franna and Ryan, "No one knows what this guy's name is, only that his nickname is 'Scar'." In recent years, he has robbed passing travelers on several routes outside Elfa, and he is ruthless, killing people every time he finishes robbing. This mission was sent by the garrison of Elfa City, who found a small engram crystal on the corpse at the scene of the robbery and found out who did it. ”

Ryan said to Lucy, "I met Franner on the road the other day, but I killed him. ”

"What?" Lucy was taken aback when she heard Ryan's words, and shouted out in a lost voice, immediately attracting the attention of a group of mercenaries around her. Lucy couldn't believe it and said, "You said you killed Scar, what evidence do you have?"

Ryan hurriedly took out the long sword and 3 daggers that Scarface had used from his storage pocket and placed them on the wooden board of the counter, and immediately a group of mercenaries surrounded him. Lucy picked up a dagger and examined it carefully, but she hadn't seen "Scar" and didn't know much more information, so she couldn't tell the difference.

At this moment, a voice sounded from the periphery: "Let me in." A burly mercenary pushed through the crowd and squeezed to Ryan's side. When he saw the dagger placed on the wooden board on the counter, he was stunned, and immediately pounced, grabbed one, checked it carefully, and said excitedly: "That's right, this is the dagger commonly used by 'Scar'." With that, he took out the identical dagger from his bosom and placed it on the counter with a trembling hand.
