Ryan stood at the gate of the Iron Fist Castle in the famous star robe, looking at the thousands of candidates standing together at the bottom of the mountain, these were the people who passed the first test in Cassano's magic apprentice selection this time.

"I said, have you figured out how to choose?" Ryan asked Red who was standing behind him in a low voice, and now Red wore a magic mask to cover his true face, the effect of this mask was not at all as good as the one used by Ryan when he assumed the name Fabia, it was nothing more than a small illusion on Red, but it was enough for the thousands of young people who couldn't even get started.

"Strong-willed, I just need strong-willed people. Red whispered: "Ryan, you can unleash a large illusion, use all kinds of benefits to lure them, use all kinds of dangers to intimidate them, as long as you can't bear this, you can eliminate them." No matter how gifted he is, no matter how devout he is to believe in the gods, if he can't even calm his heart, then he is not worthy to be my student, the future cardinal!"

Ryan nodded, he casually released a amplification magic array, and began to give a speech in front of the thousands of candidates under the mountain, such a speech barely made much sense, it was nothing more than a description of a beautiful prospect for the people under the mountain, and at the same time warned them that they must accept and pass the next test, and the only requirement to pass this test is to stand firmly in place no matter what happens. During this long speech, Ryan's hands were not idle, and he quickly completed a large illusion magic array.

Ryan is not very capable of illusion magic, but with his legendary mage realm, it is no problem to release an illusion that is not even an ordinary magic apprentice, because when the entire illusion magic array envelops those thousands of people, today's real test will officially begin.

From the outside, these recipients all stood in place, this is because Ryan's illusion magic has affected their thinking, allowing them to enter an illusory world, all they see and feel is the large illusion magic from Ryan, or money, or beauty, or powerful magical beasts, or terrifying scenes, in short, countless illusions frantically poured into the brains of these candidates, and an ethereal voice kept tempting them in the bottom of their hearts, as long as they moved one step to get what they wanted, they could avoid the danger in front of them。

Soon, someone couldn't support it anymore, he moved his feet a step forward, and it was this step that the 20-year-old young man activated the teleportation magic array that Ryan had arranged in advance, and his body emitted a faint white light almost instantly, and the whole person was teleported to the open space not far away, and he also lost the qualification to continue to stay in the illusion magic array to be tested.

With the first, there will naturally be a second, a third...... By the 10-minute mark, there had been a large number of gaps in the originally dense formation, and more than half of the candidates had been eliminated due to lack of determination. After another 15 minutes, the remaining part was teleported out by two-thirds, and now there were less than 150 people left in the center of the entire illusion magic array.

"What about that number?" Ryan asked Red in a whisper as he counted the number of people left.

"Wait another five minutes, if you can hold on to your illusion for 30 minutes, I think their will will will be able to match my requirements, right?" Red hesitated, but still said what he thought. In the very short moment of Red's hesitation, more than 20 people were teleported out with a flash of white light, and Ryan just wanted to speak, but more than 20 people failed to pass the test and were also teleported, and now there are less than 100 people left in the venue.

The next 5 minutes became quite long, almost every few seconds someone would be teleported out, Ryan peeked at Red, and found that the latter was as pale as if he was there, and obviously a little out of breath, so he coughed lightly to remind the archbishop not to reveal his identity, and Red also came to his senses under Ryan's reminder, he simply twisted his head to the side, no longer caring about how many people remained.

When Ryan waved his hand to disperse the entire large illusion magic array, the candidates who remained in place almost unanimously fell to their knees, they were sweating profusely, and many of them had weak feet and could not support themselves to continue standing. Ryan nodded and announced loudly: "Those who pass the test today can stay, and the others will disperse first." Well, Barbara, I'll leave these people to you, let them rest well, and bring them to me tomorrow morning!"

After explaining the incident, Ryan took Red back to the private library, and Red took off the mask on his face and threw it on the table, grabbed a glass of water and poured it down. After drinking and recovering his strength, Red said with a wry smile: "This selection is really exciting, even I almost fell into it, fortunately you reminded me, otherwise I would be embarrassed as an archbishop!"

Ryan smiled dumbly, of course he understood Red's mood of gaining and losing, and casually comforted a few words, the two chatted for a while, and then saw Barbara and Flanner walking in side by side, the two of them each brought 1 news, one is naturally the remaining candidates just now, a total of 37 people, including 22 men and 15 women, have settled in the new city of Iron Fist Castle, and their list was also handed over to Sophie, who is responsible for secretly checking the origin of these people, and when they can confirm that they have no other intentions, Ryan and Red will really teach them skills。

The second piece of information is two pieces of news from the imperial capital, the letter written by Ryan himself seven days ago has been sent to Fernando City, after repeated discussions with Orlando and others, he agreed to Ryan's request, and the tens of thousands of orcs who are currently living in the northern suburbs of the imperial capital will migrate in batches, and their final destination will be three settlement areas, the largest of which is to the east of Cassano, less than 20 kilometers away from the battlefield address of the Battle of Vallo.

Because the people of the imperial capital have suffered from the war of the orcs, it is also very unfriendly to these orcs who have surrendered to the humans, and it is better to let them stay in the imperial capital sooner or later, and from the military side, there are also many unstable factors for the orcs to live near the imperial capital for a long time, just at this time Ryan wrote a personal letter hoping to move these orcs to Cassano, and Orlando they agreed after consultation.

Of course, the emperor will not put all the tens of thousands of elite orcs together, but divided into three settlements, except for Cassano, there is one at the junction of Moli and the imperial capital, and the other is in the west of the South Talon prairie, just between the imperial capital and Mirror Lake, there is a huge military camp nearby, which is the transportation artery connecting the imperial capital to Mirror Lake, not only hoarding a large number of materials, but also stationing tens of thousands of elite soldiers.

The reason why Ryan accepted these orcs is actually very simple, due to the collusion between the Beast Emperor and the undead legion, a large number of orcs were sent to the Star Luo Islands to become undead, and the orcs who can stay and survive until now must be healthy young people, they are good laborers, and they can come in handy in Cassano, who is building a lot of buildings. Secondly, Ryan hopes that everyone will slowly accept the existence of orcs, and it can also be regarded as a warning, after all, orcs have invaded Thor's fortress every year in the past, but in the hinterland of human life, the existence of orcs has been regarded as a legend.

"Let's prepare enough food for 5,000 orcs for ten days, I remember that the orcs don't seem to eat much flour products, they eat meat as their staple food. Franna, speaking of which, the supplies for Cassano are all handled by you, so I will leave this matter to you, if our reserves are insufficient, we can also order from other chambers of commerce, and let them transport them over and we will pay for them. Anyway, this sum was paid by the imperial capital, so you are welcome. Ryan said with a smile.

"Of course, I don't have the opportunity to move things out of the Imperial Capital's vault now. Franner replied with a smile.

Ryan thought for a while, and said to Barbara on the side: "Barbara, you can inform Adams of this matter later, let him be fully responsible for the specific matters, as long as you pay attention to the following points: First, humans and orcs live together, everyone is equal to each other, there can be no discrimination against orcs, orcs have hands and feet, they can support themselves like humans, they are either not good at farming, but the Vallow Mountains are next to them, and it is always okay to go hunting, right?" Weapons can be provided, don't be too stingy, I don't believe that only 5,000 orcs can still turn the sky in Cassano?"

"Okay. ”

"Second, the temporary residence of orcs away from Tekken Castle is not discrimination, but a buffer period, and I hope everyone can use this opportunity to get to know each other. Well, Franna, our mercenary group hasn't been disbanded yet, is it?" Ryan said and asked Franna.

"Of course not!" Flanner replied with a smile: "According to the points that were passed back a few days ago, and considering that several of the largest mercenary groups have been disbanded, our Ryan mercenary group is now also one of the top three famous mercenary groups in the mainland." Well, although we have very few people, except for those elves, there are only about a hundred or so people, but we can't stand to have a legendary mage as the leader!"

"Haha!" Ryan laughed a few words and instructed Franna: "When the orcs come, you will directly hire 50, not 100 orc warriors in the name of our mercenary group." Well, another 200 people will be selected from Adela's Guards Legion, and all 300 of them will be assigned to our mercenary group. Let's train together for a period of time first, and then send 150 of them to the sheriff's office, and let them circle around the city every day, so that everyone will not have so much fear when they get used to it. Also, all the mercenary groups registered in Cassano, what swords and roses, and six arrows, will lend some people to them, and the cost of the lease will total one copper coin, which will not make them bankrupt, right? Let everyone see the bravery of the orc warriors, I believe that more mercenary groups will consider this matter. ”
