Ryan: "Is it okay for those fighters to stay at the border?" ”

Essex, "With Mr. Atwood's help, I have secretly left a magic crystal on the border, and I can open the magic circle and return there at any time. ”

Ryan pondered for a few seconds, "Although that group of warriors is loyal to Orlan, they should have been influenced by the rest of the people to some extent, I don't know their habits at the border, let them go home tonight and rest for the night, and wait until I go to see them tomorrow morning before making a decision." ”

Ryan: "Essex, I may need you to train more soldiers and warriors later. ”

Essex, "Do as you command. ”

After they had almost finished talking, Atwood walked over with Cecil the Black Serpent.

Atwood was dressed in a white alchemy robe, and he had rested better on the way back, and the dark circles on his face were not as heavy. Coupled with the fact that he has taken care of himself a little, and the elven blood of the druid, his green eyes are deep, and his facial features are well-defined, he is much more handsome than the last time he saw him, and he is more like an elven sage than an alchemist.

"Honorable Lord Lane."

Cecil slapped the tip of his tail on the ground, and Atwood stopped in front of Ryan, and said to Ryan apologetically with apologetic eyes, "Sorry again for my rudeness when I first met you." ”

"It's okay, Mr. Atwood, I guess I want to thank you."

Ryan replied to Atwood with a sincere look in his eyes, "Thank you so much for everything you have done for me. ”

Cecil pounded the tip of his tail, and Atwood shook his head at Ryan, "This is what I should do." ”

"Well, Mr. Atwood, Essex ......"

Ryan looked up at both of them at the same time, "As for the stone you mentioned in your letter, I'll tell you two if you've already had dinner?" ”

Shamefully, he suddenly wanted to keep Atwood in Oran, if there were two alchemists—

Well, it's nice to think about!

After saying that, Ryan looked sideways at Isidore and Cecil, "What about you?" ”

Isidore shook her head slightly, "Not yet." ”

He had been working on the room until Essex returned to the castle before he left the room.

Cecil swung the snake's tail at Ryan, meaning it didn't eat either.

I didn't see Katyusha, so she probably didn't plan to come over, the corners of Ryan's mouth rose slightly, "Nan led his friends to the food shop, I wonder if you would like to go with me now?" ”

"Mr. Nan's friend?"

Essex looked sideways, "Are you talking about the group of wanderers who came back with us?" ”

"Yes, I'm going to hire them to make something."

Ryan asked, "Essex, Mr. Atwood, you've been in contact with those wanderers a little longer. What do you think of their character as trustworthy? ”

"It's not as ferocious as the usual wanderers, although there are half-orcs among them, but the character is quite good."

Essex retracted his gaze: "It's just that I haven't been in contact with them for too long, and they seem to be a little afraid of me." ”

After saying that, he looked at Atwood and asked, "I wonder how Mr. Atwood thinks of them?" ”

Atwood thought to himself, then replied, "Maybe they've done something wrong, but they don't give me the feeling that they are bad people and can be trusted." ”

Listening to Essex's inquiry, Ryan remembered a very important matter, listening to Atwood Ming say his thoughts, and at the same time whispered in his head: "Lord, Atwood has half-elven blood, or is he a druid alchemist, did he come to Orlan to feel the existence of Cyril and the Tree of Life?" ”

System: "The Tree of Life is protected by Cyril's enchantment, and the strength of Atwood and Cyril is very different. Cyril was aware of Atwood's presence when he arrived, but Atwood didn't know that Cyril was there. ”

Ryan: "Cyril is a moonlight elf, and the druid is a nature elf bloodline, do you know each other between Atwood and Cyril?" ”

System: "All elves know Manraf. ”

Ryan had a rough idea in his mind.

"Although some half-orcs and aliens are very close on the surface, there is always a violent viciousness that cannot be hidden in their hearts."

Atwood finished his feelings, looked at Ryan and finally said, "I heard them mention that they came to Oran because you wanted to hire them to do things, but before appointing, it is recommended that you sign a contract with them first to avoid unnecessary trouble later." ”

"Thank you very much for the reminder."

Ryan lowered his eyes and smiled, and at the same time took out the staff, "It's not early, and the rest of the things will be discussed after the meal." ”

If you want to keep someone, you must first make a good impression.

Although Isidore was a little worried, but because the bookstore would deal with others sooner or later, Isidore's eyes lowered slightly, and finally he did not say no.

However, Ryan saw his thoughts, reached out and touched the spatial ring, took out a black cloak and handed it over.

Isidore whispered a thank you and gently draped her cloak over her body.

Essex and Atwood didn't shirk this time, and in Ryan's teleportation magic, they took Isidore and Cecil, and they went directly to the gourmet restaurant together.

*

Because of the need to entertain guests, and the food shop is still expanding, when Ryan and the others teleport to their destination through magic, the food shop is empty, only the chefs are preparing food in the back kitchen.

I didn't see Nan and them, maybe they were delayed on the road, or they were talking.

Atwood said to Ryan, "I didn't expect you, as a lord, to be so proficient in space magic. ”

Ryan: "You're complimenting. ”

Mannie, who heard the voice, immediately came out of the back kitchen, glanced at Essex, and then looked at Atwood, Isidore, and their respectful and Ryan, and said, "Lord Ryan, are these the guests that Mr. Nan said?" ”

Isidore never left the castle, and most of the Orans didn't know him, especially since he still wore a cloak.

As for Essex, most of the Orlanders know his face.

Ryan whispered back, "No, these are my friends, and the Knights of Essex, please take them to the inner room for dinner." ”

The gourmet restaurant has expanded a lot, not only with a dining hall, but also with some private rooms for friends to have a meal.

For the first time in this form of dining, Atwood and the others, although curious, did not show it on the surface, and followed Mannie into the inner room.

Ryan was about to ask the system when he heard the sound of the door being slammed, and he turned his head sideways, and Nan pushed the door first into the gourmet store, followed by five wanderers in ordinary black cloaks.

"Honorable Lord!"

The moment Nan saw Ryan, she immediately stopped communicating with her friends who had not seen her for a long time, quickened her pace, and said apologetically, "I'm really sorry for keeping you waiting." ”

"Nope."

Ryan let go of his staff, "I've just arrived. ”

After speaking, he looked sideways behind Nan, who stopped and explained to Ryan, "Dear Lord Ryan, these are my friends. ”

"Hello, welcome to Oran, I'm Lord Ryan here."

Ryan smiled and greeted the five black-robed wanderers.

His smile is gentle and sincere, very contagious, and coupled with the aura prepared in advance, people can let go of a lot of guards even if they meet for the first time.

On the way over, Nan had already explained to them about Ryan, covering up the reason for his rapid increase in strength.

Although it will be dark, the rebuilding Oran is clean and gives people a sense of vigorous and uplifting.

The initial impression was good, especially after seeing Ryan, I could feel that his aura was not like a bad guy, and the five wanderers faced each other and slightly retracted their guards, and took off the hoods on their heads one after another-

Nan followed the names of their unveiled hoods to make an introduction.

The first to unveil the hood was the one with brown dog ears on his head, a short tail behind him, and light brown hair. Wearing ordinary leather armor with a bow and arrows hanging on his back, a young man with extremely bright eyes, his name is Ah Lie, a mid-level canine half-orc archer who also cultivates medicinal arts (highly poisonous).

The second is a cat-clan centauric girl with gray-blue cat ears and tail on her head, light blue hair, wearing a cloth dress and holding a staff.

The third person who took off her cloak was a tall girl with a pair of horns on her head and a scaly monitor lizard tail behind her. Yura, a multi-ethnic half-breed girl with a broad heavy sword on her shoulder, has the strength to surpass the intermediate level, comparable to a high-level warrior, she is better at recognizing the way and perceiving directions, and is very good at mining.

The fourth person to take off his hood was a young man with dark blue hair, who looked about the same age as Asa, but whose eyes were much sharper and colder. Holding a blue staff in his right hand, the robe can be seen to be some years old but clean and tidy, is an intermediate magician who controls water, and is good at using water-based healing magic, his name is Rory.

Rory is the leader of the Wanderer Squad and practices both alchemy and alchemy (healing).

The last wanderer to take off his cloak was the thinnest, but his facial features and eyebrows were fierce, and his eyes were timid. He has black hair and blue eyes, a pair of silver-gray wolf ears on his head, and a large shaggy silver-gray tail behind him, and is a non-pure-blood werewolf named Roy.

Roy's strength is similar to that of Yura, but he can rely on the power of his bloodline to call for nightfall, and can control whether or not to transform into a werewolf form in the night. He can rely on his claws to fight, and he can also call out to the wolves, and when he becomes a werewolf, Roy's body and personality will change drastically depending on the bloodline.

Although Roy was the only one of the five who did not learn a subclass, his ability to summon wolves was useful in the wild. Even if it is because the other half of the bloodline can control the incarnate werewolf, and can not completely lose its will after alienation, most pure-blooded werewolves can do it more easily, but that kind of werewolf bloodline is more orthodox and noble, and Roy's situation is rare.

In the room, Isidore unleashed a magical barrier, and his level was higher than that of the wanderers, and none of the five of them could perceive the situation in the room.

When Roy unveiled his cloak, Atwood raised his eyebrows slightly and whispered, "It's a non-pure-blooded werewolf, no wonder I have that strange feeling." ”

Essex bowed his head and lowered his voice, "He is loyal to his companions, and the loyalty of a werewolf is hard to change. ”

Cecil grew larger, and when Mannie brought dinner, he wagged the tip of his tail and bit directly into the large chicken leg in the bowl in front of him.

Atwood looked at the big black snake swallowing the chicken leg and waited for him to swallow the chicken leg before asking, "Cecil, do you know what Lord Ryan summoned them for?" ”

The first time he left was too hasty, and Atwood didn't even know what Ryan was going to do when he hired him.

And in this wanderer team, except for the werewolf deputy position, there are also cultivation potions and alchemy, and Atwood, who is a high-level mechanical alchemist, is a little interested.

The mechanical gargoyle disappeared and hovered outside the food store, and the red gem on the gargoyle's head was Atwood's eyes.

Although it was getting dark, the people who built the roads and houses had not completely left, and Atwood, a high-level alchemist, was not entirely sure, but he could sense that those goblins might be a special group of puppets, which made Atwood a little curious.

When the wanderers and Ryan actually started to communicate, Ryan didn't mind and didn't think about discussing things with them here, but Isidore still released a soundproof barrier.

After dinner, Ryan obviously didn't say much, but Roy and the others had a much better impression of Ryan.

After dinner, it was already completely dark outside, and in preparation for discussing the hiring and what to do tomorrow, Nan took the wanderers to the inn to rest, and then Ryan used magic and Isidore to return to the castle.

Isidore said goodbye to Ryan and led Essex to find Eli, where he went to prepare the room where Essex and Atwood were resting.

Ryan went to the meeting room with Atwood and Cecil.

*

What is more important to alchemists, Ryan had already thought about this in advance when he came to Oran in Atwood, and Atwood's puppets were very useful.

Whether it is a mountain giant puppet tens of meters high, or a delicate and dexterous gargoyle that can be invisible, Ryan wants to keep Atwood in his heart, but it should not be easy to keep him with lipstick and cosmetics.

Cecil coiled his scaly snake tail and sat down on the circular tree shaker that Ryan had laid down as he entered the conference room. As Ryan and Atwood sat down in the soft chairs in the conference room, a puppet knocked softly on the door and brought in juice and sweets.

Isidore rarely eats meat, and it has become a habit. Atwood eats the most tree fruit because of his blood, and although Atwood can eat meat, he doesn't like it very much.

Only Essex and Cecil ate a lot of meat for dinner, and both Atwood and Isidore only ate some sautéed vegetables.

The difference between the humanoid puppet and the real person is not too big, but the arms are a little too much, and the silver steel skin knows that it is not a real person at a glance.

Putting down the sweets and juices in the hands of the split robotic arm, the puppet silently retreated from the room.

Cecil used the snake's tail to stop the swing of the cradle, and then gently tapped the slightly convex snake belly with the tip of the tail, and then the food in the belly was quickly digested, and in a few seconds it returned to a slender snake body, and the snake body bent slightly and began to enjoy a delicious dessert, with an excellent appetite.

After the puppet had completely left the conference room, Atwood withdrew his gaze, looked at Ryan and said, "Lord Ryan, your puppet here is magical and exquisite. ”
