According to Ryan's idea, he would have buried the magician's body with soil. But when Ryan saw the magic wand stuck on the ground, he had new worries.
"Do I want this magic wand? If I do, it's as long as half a person's height. It can't be stored as easily as a magician puts it in a magic storage bag. If I bring it with me, it will be easily discovered by others, and then it will be easy to store it.
It would be a pity to be found out that I killed the magician. But it would be a pity if I didn't do it."
Finally, Ryan was cruel and threw the magic wand into the hole.
Then Ryan used a branch as a shovel, lifted up the blood-stained soil, and pushed it into the hole.
Soon, Ruian cleaned up all the blood-stained ground around him. Then he moved a few stones from a distance, pressed them into the hole, and filled them with a layer of soil. Finally, Ruian also chopped down a small pile.
Branches are piled on top of this area.
After doing all this, the torch that Ruian had lit before was burned out. After a quick check, Ruian left the woods. This dark environment was a test for Ruian's relatively fragile psychology.
After leaving the woods, the sky was already a bit gray and bright. Ruian looked around to make sure there was no one around, and then sneaked back to the blacksmith shop.
After returning to the blacksmith shop, Ruian breathed a sigh of relief.
As soon as he sat down, Ruian couldn't wait to take out the storage bag and rummaged through it carefully. Soon, Ruian discovered that except for the very small mouth of the bag, this bag was no different from an ordinary bag, and it was empty inside.
In the end, after studying for a long time, he had no choice but to give up the research. "If there is a chance in the future, I will ask the magician how to open the storage bag."
Next, Ruian thought according to his usual habits. He suddenly found that after these days of hard work, he got nothing except a storage bag that could not be opened. Moreover, Ruian killed someone for the first time. Although he had been beaten by this world
Subtly, he didn't take killing people seriously, but he still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart anyway.
"The first time I killed someone, I just felt a little uncomfortable. Then if I kill a lot in the future, I won't feel it at all. Oh, I have changed so much." Ruian couldn't help but smile bitterly.
…………
The remaining days passed faster, because Ryan had made an agreement with Father Moya that he would make as much iron as possible in the remaining time, and Father Moya would give him a larger salary.
As a result, Ruian hammered iron day and night for several days, and the quantity produced was equivalent to the quantity produced in the previous month.
This made Father Moya very happy and gave Ruian 1 gold coin as his last month's salary, which was regarded as a reward for Ruian.
Father Moya doesn't say it, but in his heart he still likes Ryan who doesn't talk much and is very down-to-earth. Now that Ryan is leaving to go to college and go out to have a career like his own son, Father Moya is still a little reluctant to let go.
Ryan's.
The day before leaving, Ruian went to the Mercenary Association again to confirm the time and place of departure the next day.
In addition, he was still in the mission hall of the Mercenary Association and heard the mercenaries discussing a recent big commission mission: looking for the magician Vittel. A few nights ago, the magician Vittel had not been seen since he went out alone.
The person who can find the magician Vittel will receive a commission of 100 gold coins, and the person who can provide clues will receive a commission of 10 gold coins.
Ryan was shocked and quickly guessed that this mercenary mission was issued by the magician's followers.
However, Ruian felt relieved after overhearing the discussions among the mercenaries. From the discussions among the mercenaries, he learned that no one has come forward to provide clues so far, and many mercenaries have accepted this task and want to try their luck in it.
Kata City is looking for the magician, and some mercenaries even went outside the city to look for it, but no one has found it yet.
Ruian was a little strange. He had asked the hotel waiter before, and based on the waiter's cleverness, he guessed that the magician's disappearance was related to Ruian, but why didn't the waiter provide clues to earn a commission of 10 gold coins?
Ruian was puzzled, but thinking about it, the waiter was probably afraid that someone would find out that he had betrayed the whereabouts of the magician, and that the magician's followers would take him as an accomplice to take revenge.
Regarding the fact that many mercenaries are looking for the magician, Ryan is not worried that they will be able to find it. Kata City is so big that it is not easy to find the body of the magician, unless a mercenary accidentally hits the jackpot.
Found in .
The only thing Ruian was worried about was whether the hotel waiter would provide them with clues. Although so many days had passed, the waiter had not come forward to provide clues, but this did not guarantee that he would not provide clues in the future.
"Fortunately, I have to leave tomorrow." Ruian left the Mercenary Association in a hurry.
After returning to the blacksmith shop, Ryan found two new sets of clothes at the door of his small room.
When Ruian asked, he found out that it was given to him by Moya and his wife, which made Ruian very touched.
Next, Ryan has to prepare his luggage.
Apart from weapons and equipment, Ruian had very few other items. He just packed a few spare clothes into one bag and slung it across his back.
Chain armor and other armors are naturally worn on the body, especially after killing the magician, to be careful not to be plotted by others.
As for the crossbow, Ruian unstretched the bowstring, covered it with a large piece of cloth, and slung it across his back. Ruian practiced how to quickly remove the crossbow from his back, load it with arrows, aim and fire, etc.
Actions. With practice, it doesn't take long for Ryan to do these actions.
As for the sword and stick, Ryan took it apart, inserted the sword into a sheath, and hung the stick and the sword on the left and right sides of the body respectively. When needed, he could quickly pull out the sword and stick with both hands, and put the hilt and stick together.
Align your body with one set, then rotate it, and you can use the sword stick immediately.
…………
As soon as the sky turned gray and gray, Ruian got up.
After a while, Ruian finished his equipment and walked out of the small room.
At this time, he found that Moya and his wife had already gotten up and had prepared a hot breakfast.
Ruian was so moved that he felt his eyes were about to get wet. But he didn't say anything, just picked up his breakfast and ate it.
Father Moya didn't say anything, he just quietly finished breakfast with Rui An.
After breakfast, it's time for Ryan to leave.
Father Moya was very wordy at this time, constantly reminding Ruian to pay more attention to safety on the road, not to fight with others, and remember to come back more often when you have time.
Ruian was moved and warmed by this, and he made up his mind to come back to see Father Moya if he had the opportunity in the future.
Then Ryan left the blacksmith shop. Following the address provided by the Mercenary Association, he came to the meeting point, which was the hotel where the caravan would be escorted.
As soon as Ruian arrived at the hotel, he saw many people busy loading goods onto carriages at the door of the hotel. Dozens of carriages were lined up, which was very spectacular.
Ryan guessed: "This must be the caravan to be escorted." He casually patted the shoulder of a person loading goods next to him and asked where their owner was.
After getting the answer, Ruian walked straight to a middle-aged man who was standing at the door of the hotel and was pointing out what others should do, and said: "My boss, I am a mercenary who has received an escort mission. I am here to report."
The middle-aged man is about a head taller than Ruian, with a lot of flesh on his face, and a slightly long mustache. He has a slightly fat figure with a slightly fat belly, and is wearing a brand new black businessman's formal suit, which makes him look...
The whole person is very energetic.
The middle-aged man nodded and did not say anything more to Ruian. He just asked Ruian to go to a place more than ten meters away, follow a group of people gathered there, and obey the leader's orders.
When Ruian accepted the mission, he already knew that this mercenary mission required ten guards. Now it seems that these people are also mercenaries who have accepted this mission.
Ruian approached the group of people without saying a word. He just nodded to some of the mercenaries who looked over and said hello.
After a while, all the mercenaries were probably here, and the middle-aged leader also came over and introduced: "My name is Bapa, I am a guard specially hired by the caravan. I am a level 3 swordsman.
This escort mission is under my full command, and I hope you can obey my command."
Everyone nodded in agreement. Mercenaries are very realistic and will not refuse reasonable requests as long as they make money, including Ryan.
Next, Ruian learned that the mercenaries who took on this mission were not weak in strength. Except for Ruian, there were two level 2 swordsmen, and the rest were all level 1 swordsmen.
The mercenaries are not stupid people. Seeing that Ruian's equipment is not as easy to bully as ordinary non-swordsmen, they will naturally not look down on Ruian, at least not on the surface.
Then, Leader Bapa assigned tasks to each mercenary, which was quite orderly.
After a little while, the caravan's carriage was finally loaded with goods. The owner gave the order and the caravan set off.
The team walked very quickly and soon left the gate of Kata City.
When leaving the city gate, Ruian turned back and said softly: "Goodbye, the first stop in my life, Kata City."
