Chapter Seventy-Eight: Portrait
"Quick, quick!" Flanner said to Ryan, "Open it quickly, maybe there's something of special value in there."
Ryan shook his head slightly, and said to Flanna, who was full of excitement, "You, why are all your thoughts about money?"
"Hey! Franner retorted: "Now we are a regular mercenary group, although there are fewer people, but in the future, the mercenary group will develop, what do you need to do without money? ”
"Okay, okay. Franner, I'm going to figure it out, hopefully it's not very difficult. ”
Franner excitedly said, "No problem, no problem." Ryan, I'm optimistic about you. Speaking of which, Franner saw that Alendor was sitting on the ground with Xiaobai in his arms, and while constantly stroking Xiaobai's fluff, he tore off a large piece of barbecue meat in his hand one by one and fed it to Xiaobai. So Flanner said to Elendo, "Oh my God, Elendor. Why do you hold that gluttonous guy every day?"
Alendor rolled his eyes at Flanner and said disdainfully, "You know, this is a daily lesson for our druids. How can you improve yourself if you don't have regular contact with your partners? You know, Franner. A powerful druid will eventually acquire the spirits of Warcraft and fuse them into their bodies, a ritual that will allow us druids to enter an extremely powerful realm. ”
"Well, that's for later. The most important thing now is to see how Ryan opens this sealed cylinder, I've been studying it for almost three days, but I can't open it. ”
Ryan turned a deaf ear to the conversation between Flanner and Elendor, and he had devoted himself to unlocking the magic circle that sealed the cylinder. This earth-based magic circle is mainly to strengthen the entire cylinder, so it is not aggressive, and Ryan just uses it to familiarize himself with the knowledge of magic arrays.
Ryan quickly figured out how this earth-based magic array worked, this type of magic array was the simplest and most basic method in the book that Victor gave him, Ryan turned the cylinder over and over again according to the record in the book, and sure enough, he found the beginning of the opening cylinder, which was an unknown small flower embedded in the magic array on the surface of the cylinder.
Ryan slowly stroked the small flower, and found that it could turn slightly, Ryan read the contents of the book in detail about this aspect, and after confirming that there was no threat, Ryan gently turned the small flower, and after turning a full circle, the magic circle outside the cylinder let out a slight chirp. A smile appeared on Ryan's face, he knew that he had succeeded, and he closed this earth-based magic array.
The rest was very simple, Ryan spun one end of the cylinder, twisted the lid of the cylinder off, and then he tilted the cylinder and slowly poured out the contents.
"Ahh
Ryan gently pinched the large roll with both hands, it was very soft to the touch, as if it would be broken at any moment, but the feeling of his fingers was very strong, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't tear it apart. It's a strange feeling, like seeing the vicissitudes of age from the face of a seven- or eight-year-old child.
Ryan carefully held his breath for fear of damaging the large scroll in his hand, and he didn't even answer Flanner's words to avoid distracting himself, if he accidentally tore this thing apart, it would be troublesome. Damaged things fall second, if there is any prohibition on this thing, it will not be fun, the cylinder containing it is reinforced with a magic array, I believe that this thing is definitely not a dispensable ordinary goods.
Ryan gently placed the large scroll in his hand on the table, and slowly unfolded it. The scroll was only the size of a palm in his hand, but as Ryan slowly unfolded, it almost filled a table. When Ryan first started, he thought it should be a map or something, but as more and more parts were revealed, Ryan finally saw that this should actually be a portrait of a person.
Franner, who was on the side, also saw it, and he said in a tone of extreme disappointment: "Oh, what a pity. It seems that this thing is not very valuable anymore, strange, just such a portrait, as for putting it in that cylinder...... Ahh
Before Franner could finish speaking, Ryan revealed the entire portrait, and Franner saw the entire content of the portrait at a glance, and he let out an exclamation in surprise, not even realizing that he had bitten the tip of his tongue in the action just now.
This is a portrait of a lady, and the portrait is a very beautiful woman. The slender woman was wearing a purple magic robe, her black hair fluttering casually behind her, her face exuding a strong confidence, and her red mouth was slightly open, as if she was reading something. The woman stretched out one hand slightly bent in front of her, a shiny crystal ball was suspended in the palm of her hand, and the crystal ball was burning with raging flames around it, and her other hand pointed obliquely to the sky, and the exposed snow-white arm was crystal clear, and there was a dark green bracelet on the wrist. The whole portrait is lifelike, depicting a female magician who is casting magic.
"Ahh Franner's eyes straightened: "She, she's so beautiful." ”
Alendor was surprised to find Franner's ugly appearance, and the merchant who was bent on burrowing into the pile of gold coins would also show this kind of demeanor, so Elendor let go of Xiaobai and walked to the table in a few steps. Even though Alendor was just a simple druid, he was still struck by the sorceress in the portrait, and Elendor's first thought was that the woman in the portrait did not really exist, but was just a thought in the artist's imagination.
Ryan closed his eyes hard, but the image of the sorceress still appeared in front of him, and Ryan muttered, "Incredible, incredible." There is such a beautiful woman on this continent. This, although it shouldn't be said that, but ......" Ryan said the next sentence in his heart: "Faras is not as beautiful as her." ”
It took a long time for the three of them to slowly get rid of the trouble with this portrait. Franner pinched his thigh a few times, using the sharp pain to force his eyes off the portrait, and Ryan and Alendor had been trained hard after all, and after the initial shock, they were slowly getting used to the beauty of the magician in the portrait.
When Ryan got rid of the shock, a strange thought popped into his mind, because of the appearance of this sorceress, he seemed to have seen it somewhere in reality. Ryan looked up at Alendor, who was sitting beside him, and the latter's eyes also showed a hint of inquiry, and it seemed that Allendo had also discovered the problem.
Where the hell had he seen her? Ryan pondered his thoughts, searching for the fragments of his memories one by one from the day he became sensible: Fog Town? No, no way. The only thing that impressed Ryan there was Naimo's girlfriend Meifu, and that was also because of Meifu's unusual pungency. Giethoorn? No, it's not. Ryan distinctly remembered that he had never seen the faces of the ladies with gauze on their heads. Could it be in the imperial capital? Ryan thought of the imperial capital, and immediately thought of the Royal Athletic Competition, and at this moment, he finally had a realization in his heart, and he finally remembered who the female magician on this portrait looked like.
Ryan looked up at Allendo with a confident look, and the latter's face showed that he also had an answer.
"Catherine-Randy!" the two said in unison. That's right, it's the female magician who usually wears a veil over her face and doesn't attract the attention of others at all, but in the final of the competitive competition, she single-handedly defeated the entire Lace team, and was promoted to the title of Royal Magician by Fernando XIII.
"It's incredible. Ryan whispered, "Wizard Grimm actually has a portrait of her." Could it be that this Catherine-Randy and Greene are in the same group?"
"No, it's not Catherine-Randy!" Alendor suddenly said a contradictory remark.
"What?"
"Ryan, look closely. Don't look at the portrait, but look at the texture of the portrait. I don't know what it was made of, but I can tell with certainty that it's definitely not a hundred years old, maybe a few hundred years old. Catherine Randy, how could she have lived so long?"
Ryan examined it carefully according to Alendo's words, and sure enough, as Alendor said, the "canvas" used in this portrait clearly left traces of time, a feature that is difficult to fake, and Ryan believed that the portrait was at least three hundred years old. Even the longest-lived elf has only two hundred years of life, and according to the appearance of the woman in the portrait, it is naturally impossible to be an otherworldly creature, so unless Catherine Randy is a lich, how can she survive to the present?
Ryan smiled self-deprecatingly, "Lich, hehe, is there such a beautiful lich? Perhaps, this lady is the ancestor of that Catherine-Randy." You see, Elendo, that Catherine-Randy's magic is very powerful, and her ancestor, the woman in this portrait, also uses magic, maybe ......"
"Ah, wait!" Ryan glanced at the portrait again, and suddenly noticed something that shocked him, the purple magic robe worn by the female magician in the portrait seemed to be very similar to the magic robe that King Alexander had given him as a souvenir, could there be any connection between the two?
