On how to avoid being cannon fodder

Ryan knocked on the table to interrupt their conversation, and said slowly: "Okay, you two, maybe we should finish what we have done before starting the afternoon tea party, right?"

Ji Wenyuan looked at him, and performed a standard knight etiquette: "Nice to meet you, Your Excellency Ryan. Sorry to disturb you."

The old alchemist was an earl, and his aristocratic temperament had already been deeply rooted in his bones. He even talked like those traditional nobles who liked to beat around the bush.But I have to admit that this old man has a very gentle temper, which makes it easy for people to like him.

Elsa smiled shyly, blushing and said: "Oh, I'm sorry, Grandpa Ryan, I'm just too excited to see the idol. This is the 'Vulcan Sanction' I mentioned before." She said from the package Pulled out a scroll.

Ryan couldn't wait to take it, and showed a surprised expression while watching.Ji Wenyuan was a little curious about what it was, but it was not easy to look at it in a world where such knowledge is precious, so he had to stand silently aside.As soon as the old alchemist saw the novelty of alchemy knowledge, he couldn't remember anything, and very rudely left the new guest aside, the scene was a little awkward for a while.Seeing his idol being left out in the cold, Bernal was a little anxious, but since he was just a guest, he had no choice but to turn to the good-tempered necromancer for help.

Necromancer Rendell and Ryan are old friends, and they can be regarded as half masters in Ryan's mage tower.He rolled his eyes when he saw Bernal begging for help, but he still made a sound and said: "Sakya, don't stand still, come and eat fruit with me."

Ji Wenyuan went along and sat down in the vacant seat next to Bernal, thanking Rendell and the knight commander in a low voice.

Rendell laughed, released a sound-isolating magic around and praised Ji Wenyuan: "You are such a polite boy. Don't care about Ryan's attitude, he will become like this when he encounters alchemy knowledge. Actually I know he has long wanted to see you, otherwise I wouldn't have brought you here."

Ji Wenyuan was surprised: "Your Excellency Ryan wants to see me?" He really didn't know about it, and it wasn't mentioned in the original plot, and it might be another accident caused by Elsa.

Rendell took a bite of the apple, squinted his eyes and chewed for a long time, and after he swallowed it, he said, "I'm probably interested in the black armor you're wearing, after all, this old guy only has such a hobby."

Ji Wenyuan understood, but he really had nothing to say about this.Sakya's black armor is made of dragon scales, and has nothing to do with alchemy, and he has always kept the identity of the black dragon secret.He gave a wry smile and stopped talking.Lendell didn't care about his silence, he leisurely ate an apple and then sighed: "Hey, it will take at least a month to make this 'Vulcan Sanction', the old man is really fine during this time It can be done. Bernal, do you know any famous snacks nearby?"

The knight commander was dumbfounded. He also just arrived here, so how could he know.When Ji Wenyuan heard Rendel's complaining words, his heart suddenly moved.

Necromancer... Necromancy!

He suddenly remembered Han Yanghao's endless sentence "Undead magic is also very fun." It turned out that he was waiting here!

Under normal circumstances, the alchemy apprentice "Qi Feng" would never have the opportunity to ask this necromancer about undead magic. The protagonist group only rested in Ryan's mage tower for a day before going on the road. Do the window period.But it was just a casual meeting, and as Ryan's apprentice, Qi Feng couldn't join in to study when everyone was in a hurry, not to mention whether Lendell was in the mood to care about him, just that he didn't fit Qi Feng's self-abased personality. He drank a jug.But now, with the unexpected appearance of the "Fengming Palace", Han Yanghao took the opportunity to express his interest in undead magic. In fact, he was hinting at Ji Wenyuan, asking him to find an opportunity to mention this matter to Lundell.

Sakya has a good impression of Qi Feng, so he will take every word of Qi Feng to heart, and it is very reasonable to always think of achieving for him, so if Ji Wenyuan recommends Qi Feng to Rendell, it will not violate the human design of.With the strength and goodwill shown by Ryan when he "helped" Ryan for more than a month, even if Saga is likely to only see Lendl once, Lendell will definitely value his recommendation.And although this does not exist in the script of the will of the world, if one traces back to the source, it will be found that the cause of this change lies in the "Fengming Palace", which has nothing to do with Sakya and Qi Feng, and the will of the world cannot detect the relationship between these two people. question.

As a result, Han Yanghao had more means of self-protection during the time he was away, and he could even use this to make some reasonable changes to Qi Feng's troublesome personality.

After figuring out the crux of the matter, Ji Wenyuan felt a little helpless and wanted to laugh.

Ji Wenyuan has always felt that his partner is really difficult to understand. Most of the time, people think that he is very simple, as if he can't hide any emotions; but sometimes he suddenly finds that some of his seemingly impulsive and irrational behaviors are very serious. Those with a clear purpose can often use this to achieve the results he wants in one fell swoop.He is good at guessing people's hearts, and the freedom and casualness engraved in his bones make him unwilling to live step by step.Every sudden risky move of his is like dancing on the tip of a knife, but his excellent deduction ability and keen insight make him a permanent winner in this respect.

Only absolute power can make him helpless.

Ji Wenyuan is not a dull person, but he doesn't think too much when it is not necessary.He knew that Han Yanghao had always been insecure.Han Yanghao has always longed for powerful power due to his childhood experience and his inability to face unexpected situations when he grew up.Until now, Ji Wenyuan thought that he would confess his love to himself because the "Mu Wei" who appeared in front of him at that time was strong enough.But it doesn't matter, yearning for the strong is a biological instinct, if one day he loses the power to protect his partner, then even if Han Yanghao chooses to leave him, he should.

Han Yanghao wanted to become stronger, and never wanted to hide under his protection all the time.

This is exactly the reason why Ji Wenyuan fell in love with him.

"Your Excellency, you..." Ji Wenyuan said after deliberating, "Are you Lord Rendell, the necromancer?"

Lendell touched his round chin, and then remembered that he had never introduced himself to this "black armored knight", so he nodded and said, "Well, I am."

Ji Wenyuan asked: "My friend wants to learn necromancy. If you are free, can you give him some advice in your free time? Of course, if you agree, I will do something for you for free as a reward."

Rendell narrowed his eyes, and the smile that had been hanging on his face slowly disappeared.He stared calmly at the black armored knight in front of him, his eyes revealing the meaning of scrutiny.As an old fox who has lived for more than 120 years, he can certainly hear that Sakya is politely asking him to take an apprentice, but why does he make this request?It's just the first time they met, and they don't have any friendship at all, so why should they "do something for free"?As a mage standing at the pinnacle of the Druya ​​Empire, not just anyone is qualified to flirt with him. If it was replaced by a guardian knight of Bernal's level, Rendell would give him this face. I don't know Where did the mercenaries come from?forget it.

Staring at Ji Wenyuan in silence for more than ten seconds, Lendell saw that there was no panic in Ji Wenyuan's dark golden eyes, and then he reluctantly admitted that this guy's psychological quality is not bad, but not everyone can compete with a super-spirited man. Under the gaze of the archmage, he remained calm.He glanced at Bernal's shining eyes beside him, and secretly thought that since this guy was Bernal's idol, he couldn't just lose face.Rendell thought for a while, and said slowly: "You must first prove that you have the strength to help me."

Ji Wenyuan had expected this to happen, and asked with a smile, "How to prove it?"

Rendell pointed to Bernal and said, "You fight him, and I agree if you win."

If Sakya wins, then of course he is entitled to his respect; but if he loses, Bernal will be able to see the true face of this ink-armored knight, and he does not believe that this young knight commander will still worship a warrior But for his own weakling, he won't make Bernal uncomfortable if he refuses again.As for releasing water because of idol worship?Lendl is not worried at all. The respect these knights have for their opponents is to go all out. It is impossible for Bernal to do so.

Fighting is the romance of knights. Bernal has long wanted to do this, and of course he will not refuse.So the three quietly left the conference hall.Ryan was still devoting himself to the study of "Vulcan's Sanction" and didn't care about their departure at all, but another knight and Elsa cast their eyes over.

Deputy Knight Commander Hogg watched them go out. After thinking for a while, Ryan, who was still guarding the research scroll, did not move, but Elsa got up and followed the three of them.Rendell led the people to an open space outside the mage tower, and activated the protective magic circle that had been arranged with ease.

"This is where Ryan usually practices magic and experiments with the efficacy of alchemy products. You can fight here." Rendell signaled the two to go in.

Elsa, who was watching the excitement, was waving her hands excitedly, like a little girl who didn't know the world: "Your Majesty Sakya, come on!"

Ji Wenyuan stood still in the magic circle and smiled at her.Bernal was not angry at all, on the contrary, his face flushed with excitement.He pulled out the knight sword, and said to Ji Wenyuan with sparkling eyes, "Senior, I'm going to make a move!"

"Come on." Ji Wenyuan didn't have the habit of using a sword, but raised his hand slightly as a gesture of invitation.

Lendell curled his lips secretly. Everyone knows that when the knights are sparring, the side that thinks they are weak will make the first move. It will be interesting if Sakya can't even catch a single move.
