Two days later, the group of people who went hunting in the mountains came back. After not seeing each other for a few days, Ryan missed his father very much. Like others, he welcomed his father back outside the town. The results of this hunting together were very good, and so did Ryan's father.
Returning with a full load, Ryan helped his father carry back two dead mountain antelopes and a living little jungle dog.
After dinner in the evening, Ryan proposed his coming-of-age ceremony trial to his parents.
Ryan's mother was very worried about Ryan and didn't want Ryan to go. But his usually taciturn father just thought about it and firmly agreed to Ryan's request. Although Ryan's mother was a little reluctant to give up, in terms of important matters at home, as a
As a woman, she has always obeyed the arrangements of Ryan's father.
Ryan was very surprised by his father's decision. He originally thought that even if his father agreed, he would have to wait for several days. Ryan's father looked at his son's slightly immature face and said with pity: "Your mother and I love you very much, but
You are a man, and you will have to go out on your own sooner or later. Besides, I feel at ease with your teacher Galibu, I believe in him, and I also believe in my children."
Looking at his father's weather-beaten but caring face, Ryan couldn't help but shed tears.
The next day, Ryan and his parents arrived in front of Galibu's cabin. Galibu, Delanai, Nemo and Meif were already waiting there.
Ryan is usually busy learning martial arts and magic with his teacher, and he doesn’t have any particularly good friends in the town. That is to say, Nemo has a better relationship with him, who is studying with Galib. Therefore, this time Ryan’s coming-of-age ceremony trial was only told to
Nemo and Meifu.
His father spent many years of savings for Ryan's coming-of-age ceremony, and his mother packed his luggage overnight. Teacher Ghalib gave Ryan a short sword, and teacher Delanai gave him a dagger.
Lane a magic storage pocket.
This magic storage pocket is almost a must-have item for adventurers in their adventure life. It looks like a small pocket and usually just needs to be tied around the body. But when it is opened, it becomes a large space that can store a large number of items.
thing.
Ryan only knew about the existence of storage pockets from the usual discussions between Jialibu and Delanai. He was very envious. He didn't expect to have one today. Teacher Delanai briefly demonstrated the use of storage pockets.
After doing this, Ryan was able to skillfully put in his luggage and the dagger given to him by Teacher Jialib.
Because time was in a hurry, Nemo and Meifu prepared something special. Meifu just strung together the sixteen tusks of the pigeon boar that Nemo had hunted overnight, made a pair of bracelets, and gave them to Ryan.
.
Under everyone's silent gaze, Ryan slowly walked away.
As night fell, the wind blew gently, making people feel a little cool in the warm July. Ryan sat next to the bonfire, carefully took out the freshly roasted meat, blew it with his mouth, and ate it.
The meat of the Edelweiss Rabbit was delicious, which made Ryan eat it with relish. He also started thinking wildly in his mind: "This Edelweiss Rabbit tastes really good, although it's not as delicious as the one made by my mother... Well, it needs to be beaten. I just went out in the morning. Why?"
Are you just homesick?" Ryan laughed to himself and began to plan his itinerary.
Although his father gave Ryan a lot of gold coins, these alone are not enough for this coming-of-age ceremony trial. In addition, Ryan also needs to find several partners to complete the trial together, so there is still a lot to spend!
"It seems that I need to register a mercenary first," Ryan said in his heart: "Complete tasks to earn money, and you can also improve yourself. However, there are only less than four months until the competitive competition, and tasks that are too troublesome may not be completed yet. There are also
It’s the choice of partner, this is the biggest headache, where can I find the right one?”
Ryan thought about it for a long time and felt that he had to do things one by one. He set the first goal for himself: go to Takli Town first, become a mercenary, and earn money by completing mercenary tasks. If there is a chance and
If others cooperate, you might as well give it a try.
After dinner, Ryan stood up, took a long stretch, and patted his belly again. Well, I was full and felt really good.
Ryan added a few branches to the bonfire, looked at the flames that were getting stronger and stronger, and nodded, guessing that these branches could almost burn until dawn. He walked to the big tree next to him, climbed up quickly, and firmly
sat on a forked tree trunk.
When Ryan was a child, he followed Ghalib into the Hengduan Mountains many times. His father was also an outstanding hunter in the town, and he had already memorized the basic knowledge of survival in the wild: if a person sleeps in the forest and lights a bonfire,
It can be more effective in preventing monsters, such as wolves, snakes, and other monsters that threaten people, because they are afraid of fire and will not dare to come over. If you can sleep on a clean tree, it will be cool and safe. Of course, if you have the opportunity,
, and also buy a tent for camping so that you are not worried about bad weather.
Thinking of buying something, Ryan couldn't help but take out the storage pocket given to him by his teacher Delanai. This thing is really good for him. Although it looks like a small pocket and can be tied to the body, it is
In fact, there is a large space inside, which seems to be caused by alchemy and space magic. But Ryan himself doesn’t know much about this. Anyway, as long as he can use it, why bother thinking about things he doesn’t understand?
Wouldn't it be okay to ask Mr. Delanai again if we get a chance?
Ryan rummaged through his storage pocket and took out the dagger given to him by Mr. Galibu from under some clothes. The dagger was about the same length as his forearm, and the scabbard was made of a very ordinary takri antelope.
Made of leather. Ryan held the handle of the sword and pulled out the dagger with a slight force on his wrist.
The blade of the dagger was pitch black and did not reflect any light under the bright moonlight. It looked very ordinary, which made Ryan slightly disappointed. He held the dagger lightly in his right hand and drew it towards the branch. Unexpectedly, it cut off one of the branches effortlessly.
Cut off a branch as thick as an arm.
Seeing the effect of the sword test in front of him, Ryan was surprised. He didn't expect that the dagger looked inconspicuous, but was so sharp. So he added some strength and stabbed the dagger towards the tree trunk. In Ryan's expectation,
The dagger sank deeply into the tree, without even making a sound!
Ryan was ecstatic. Teacher Ghalib really gave him a good gift. With this short sword, his best close-quarter attack would be even more threatening.
Ryan hurriedly pulled out the dagger and examined the blade carefully, hoping to find out the reason for its sharpness. However, Ryan knew nothing about weapon making, and had only heard some simple knowledge from Delanai about alchemy and adding magic to equipment.
, I looked over and over for a long time and found nothing. I just reluctantly concluded that this was a dagger with magic attached. Due to the existence of magic, this dagger was extremely sharp, and it did not have the metallic luster and reflection like ordinary weapons.
Characteristics. In addition, Ryan only found two small characters "Shadow Shang" on the sword, which is probably the name of this dagger.
Maybe it was because it was his first time traveling far away, or maybe it was because the sharpness of Shadow Shang excited Ryan so much, but in short, Ryan just couldn't sleep. He struggled all night and finally managed to sleep for a while until dawn.
The next morning, Ryan woke up early. He used the water in the water bag to wet the bonfire that still had some embers, then filled the water bag with water in the nearby stream, and ate the remaining pieces from last night.
Rabbit meat, facing the rising sun, walked towards Tariq Town.
Tariq Town is not very far from Dense Fog Town, only a day and a half's journey away. Before noon, Ryan arrived at Tariq Town.
This is Ryan's second time here. The last time was when he was about 3 or 4 years old. At that time, he was too young and Ryan had no impression of Takli Town. But this did not trouble Ryan, he learned to
The method used by the protagonist in the adventure story Libu told him was to take out 2 copper coins and let a child playing outside lead him to the door of the mercenary guild.
This square building is very old, at least a hundred years old. There is a wooden sign hanging at its door. Although it has experienced years of weathering, one can still clearly identify it.
The crossed emblem of a sword and a staff. Recalling what Ghalib had told him about the mercenary guild, Ryan opened the door of the mercenary guild and strode in.
Although many years have passed, and although Ghalib has not had an adventurous career in Takli Town, everything is exactly the same as the process Ghalib said. After spending a gold coin, Ryan became a member of the Mercenary Guild.
As a member of the guild, he received a magic crystal that symbolized his identity. With it, Ryan could accept tasks from any mercenary guild in the continent of Eslar.
The first thing Ryan said after becoming a mercenary was to carefully inquire about the recently released mercenary tasks. He found that most of the tasks were for errands, such as helping someone find a lost pet or investigating a certain noble's.
Mistress, deliver the package to the designated location. These tasks are cumbersome and rely on luck. Ryan has no interest in it at all.
After looking through all the mercenary missions several times, Ryan finally found a mission that was barely acceptable: a small mountain village called Ancheno Village, about a day away from Takli Town, encountered a winter wolf attack.
, the mercenary task publisher, the village chief of this small mountain village issued a task to eliminate the Warcraft Winter Wolf three days ago, and the reward was a bonus of five gold coins.
Ryan, who was born as an Orion, is quite experienced in tasks such as clearing wild beasts. Wouldn't it be better to hunt them before Victory Day? Ryan smiled. He did not participate in this year's hunt. It seems that he made up for it this time.
.
After completing the relevant procedures with the staff of the Mercenary Guild, Ryan accepted the task. In order to facilitate the search for Anchenuo Village, Ryan bought a map, Anchenuo Village, Dense Fog Town, etc.
The towns and villages surrounding the town are all marked in detail, allowing travelers to reach their destinations more conveniently.
After accepting the task, Ryan decided to walk around the town and buy some suitable items.
The Mercenary Guild is located on the busiest street in Takli Town, and the center of the town is right outside the door. There are shops on both sides of the street, and the sounds of hawking and bargaining can be heard one after another.
Ryan walked slowly among the crowd. When he saw something selling Warcraft cores or furs, he stopped to take a look and asked about the price. After looking at more than a dozen stores, Ryan found that there was nothing particularly good here. Those for sale
The Warcraft furs were far inferior to those produced in his hometown of Nongwu Town, so he lost interest in continuing shopping, so he decided to stop and find a place to eat.
Just when Ryan was looking around for a suitable hotel, he found a shop not far in front of him with a hammer hanging on it. This was the sign of a blacksmith shop. Ryan immediately forgot the fact that he was hungry and decided to go and have a look.
The blacksmith shop is not big, only about ten steps from one side to the other. There is a stove on the far right side of the shop. Next to the stove are various forging tools. Two middle-aged blacksmiths are naked.
In front of the stove, he was waving a hammer and building something vigorously. A young man who looked like he was an apprentice was pulling the bellows desperately. When he saw a guest coming, one of the middle-aged men put down the hammer and came over.
Ryan was very satisfied with the Shadow Sword dagger given to him by Galib, but he usually didn't have any tools for skinning Warcraft skins, and always using Shadow Sword seemed too luxurious, so Ryan planned to buy a dagger. Also this time
The mission involves dealing with a group of winter wolves. Ryan also plans to buy ten traps. It would be best if he can buy bows and arrows.
Ryan told the blacksmith his idea. The middle-aged blacksmith thought for a while and said, "I have daggers in stock here. Look at the ones hanging over there." After speaking, Ryan pointed with his hand. Ryan followed the middle-aged blacksmith.
Looking in the direction he was pointing, he saw six or seven unbladed daggers of different sizes and styles hanging in a corner of Yuanli's stove.
"But this trap for catching animals?" The middle-aged blacksmith paused and said, "I don't have any in stock here. I ordered a batch from Dense Fog Town last month, and the goods were delivered only ten days ago. In the past few days, there have been more
I got a big deal and ordered fifty pairs from a place. I’m working on it right now.”
When Ryan heard the name of Dense Fog Town, he felt a little warm. It was right to think about it. Isn't this the hunt of this month? A new batch of clamps must be customized. I just don't know how long it will take to finish the new batch.
, so he asked: "Then how soon will it take you to make it?"
The middle-aged blacksmith calculated and said: "There are only three of us here, and we have to take care of the business in the store. It will take about 5 days to finish this batch of goods. The 10 you ordered will take almost 2 days. You
We have to wait at least another 7 days.”
"Seven days?" Ryan thought to himself: "It seems that this mission is hopeless."
"Forget it, I'll just pick a dagger," Ryan said disappointedly.
"Whatever you want, go and have a look over there. Just call me if you're interested. The products I have here may not be as exquisite in workmanship as those in big cities, but they are definitely useful." The middle-aged blacksmith explained a few words and then turned around to get it.
Pick up the hammer and continue beating.
In fact, Ryan didn't have any special requirements for the dagger, as long as it was almost the same, he quickly selected a dagger.
The middle-aged blacksmith looked up at the style chosen by Ryan and walked into the house. After a while, he took out an identical sharpened dagger from the house and handed it to Ryan and said, "Two silver coins.
"
Ryan took the dagger and asked strangely: "Why don't you hang out this pointed one?"
The middle-aged blacksmith smiled and said: "There are hanging daggers like this outside." He pointed at the uncut dagger and continued: "It's useless for others to take it. It saves me always having to look at the shop."
Ryan also laughed: "So that's it." He looked carefully at the one in his hand. Indeed, although the workmanship in the small blacksmith shop was a bit rough, it was still quite sharp. It seemed that he would be able to peel off the skin of Warcraft in the future.
You can use it when .
Ryan took out the silver coins to pay for the dagger, put the dagger into his storage pocket, and asked the blacksmith: "Do you have any bows and arrows here?"
The middle-aged blacksmith said: "That's not the case. I'm not qualified to make this bow and arrow. This thing needs to be sold by a specialized weapons shop, and you have to register it carefully after buying it. It's too troublesome."
Ryan saw that he had nothing to buy, so he walked out of the blacksmith shop.
When Ryan came out of the blacksmith shop, it was already afternoon. After he felt the protest from his stomach again, he remembered that he hadn't had lunch yet, so he made up his mind to find a place to have a good meal. This time, he would not change it no matter what.
.
Although the town of Takli is relatively prosperous, it is not too big. After Ryan walked through two streets, he sat at the dining table of a small hotel. From yesterday morning when he went out to this afternoon, Ryan ate a snow velvet rabbit.
, his stomach was already unbearably hungry.
Ryan ordered a large plate of grilled beef tacos, a baked pork pie and a large glass of refreshing juice. Soon, what he wanted was brought to the table by the hotel owner. He looked at the steaming
The pork pie and the aroma of barbecued meat made me couldn't help but move my index fingers and enjoy my delicious meal.
After enjoying a sumptuous meal, Ryan burped and felt very comfortable. He called the innkeeper and asked him to prepare a room for himself. Because he had to get up early tomorrow, for convenience, he bought some hard bread and
A few pieces of roast beef for tomorrow's breakfast.
After paying the money, Ryan followed the hotel owner to the room he had booked with satisfaction.
The room was just upstairs from Ryan's dining area. It wasn't too big, but it was relatively clean. There was only a bed, a table, and two chairs that were not very sturdy, and they made a squeaking sound when you sat on them. Ryan felt that it was messy.
The chair he was sitting on was not comfortable at all, so he simply lay down on the bed. Soon, he fell into a dream.
