Chapter 38 The tree house area does not support idlers
There are fallen and burned trees everywhere, lawns destroyed by spells, thick smoke billowing from all directions, and occasionally corpses charred by fire or frozen by frost can be seen, obviously at the hands of fellow wizards.
"Fear can also breed sin"
There was a faint scream in the ears, and everyone tacitly agreed not to ask to check. Old Wells was leaning on a cane and muttered something with a complicated expression.
It seemed that the scene in front of him brought back some unpleasant memories.
Ronan's eyes flashed slightly when he saw a treehouse in front of him that had been blown to pieces and collapsed.
He wanted to go home.
The magic stones he had accumulated in the past two months, as well as the finished rune stones he had never sold, and almost all his belongings, were hidden under an oak tree near his home and covered with thick leaves, dead branches and stones. Layer after layer.
He must get this wealth back.
It's just that the route they are taking to the town is quite far from where Ronan lives.
If you want to go there, you have to make a long circle.
It doesn't matter if Ronan is alone, he can run fast anyway.
The key is that with these three old, weak and disabled people around him, he can't leave them alone and go alone.
Just as Ronan was thinking about it, suddenly, two figures suddenly jumped out of the woods ahead.
The group was instantly alert, and Ronan was ready to throw [energy missiles] at any time.
The two people on the opposite side were also startled by them, and they were so nervous that they took several steps back.
However, a few seconds later, the person opposite, a middle-aged wizard with graying brown hair and a short beard, suddenly blurted out with surprise and joy: "Wells! It's you!"
Ronan was startled and turned to look at Old Wells beside him.
"You know him?"
Old Wells nodded, "An old friend."
He immediately walked up with a cane and started a quick chat with the middle-aged wizard.
Ronan stood more than ten meters away from them, squinting his eyes and staring at every move of the two people opposite him.
Although he is a friend of Old Wells, in the current chaotic environment where humans and ghosts are indistinguishable, it is only natural for a good friend of many years to suddenly become violent and stab you.
His five senses were sharp, and he could faintly hear that the conversation between old Wells and the middle-aged wizard seemed to involve him.
The middle-aged wizard looked at him frequently.
It wasn't until more than ten seconds later that Old Wells walked back quickly and said to Ronan: "Barry Fania, with his son, wants to join us and go to the town with us.
If you don't want to, I will reject him immediately. "
Ronan's eyes flashed, and he realized that the two wizards he met by chance were interested in the strength of his intermediate apprentices and wanted to seek shelter for the rest of the journey.
Ronan saw the refusal in Old Wells's eyes, thought about it, but still agreed.
"Okay, let them follow."
Old Wells's expression immediately became complicated, he whispered thank you, nodded and turned around to reply.
Ronan stood there calmly.
He accepted the two of them not simply because he didn't want to embarrass Old Wells.
He thought that if he encountered any very critical situation in the future, these two outsiders might come in handy at the critical moment.
"When did I become so sinister and ruthless?"
When Ronan came back to his senses, he was shocked to realize the changes in himself.
Thinking about the darkness of human nature that he had seen since the chaos broke out, he felt relieved again.
“These are all forced changes”
Old Wells came back with two wizards, one big and one small. The wizard father and son showed enough respect to Ronan. Although Ronan looks young, he is actually an intermediate apprentice and has a strong body.
In addition, there were two intermediate apprentice level apprentices in black robes who killed him with his own hands. His tyrannical physique mixed with the faint smell of blood and his domineering aura were enough to make ordinary low-level apprentice wizards unable to even raise their heads in front of him.
The middle-aged wizard Barry's son is a good example.
The young man with the strength of a second-level apprentice was very stumbling when he briefly introduced himself to Ronan, which made his father Barry feel very embarrassed, with an expression of hatred for steel.
With two more people in the team, Ronan felt that his plan to go home and collect his belongings suddenly became further away.
However, the team has grown to six people, and there are two more fresh troops. It is considered a strong force in the chaotic forest, and it has blocked many malicious eyes.
Gradually, Ronan discovered that there was someone following behind the team.
At first, I thought it was Xiao Xiao who was bold and short-sighted, but later I found out that it was some poor wizards who were fleeing alone and worried about being robbed and killed, so they wanted to use their power.
Ronan drove him away several times, but when they saw that he would not actually hurt anyone, they became bolder and more and more people followed him.
Ronan counted and found that there were more than a dozen!
He was going numb.
Just when he had a headache and didn't know how to deal with it, Barry, the middle-aged wizard in the first wave of asylums, actually stepped forward and volunteered to help Ronan solve the problem of "cowhide plaster" after removing his buttocks.
Ronan was curious about how he could solve it, so he let him go.
One minute later.
The size of their team grew to twenty-two people!
"Your so-called solution is to turn tailgating into companions?"
The corners of Ronan's eyes twitched slightly, and he was speechless as he looked at the wizard Barry in front of him.
Barry also seemed a little guilty, but quickly said: "I don't let them depend on me in vain.
I have made an agreement with them. When they arrive safely in the town, everyone must pay you a protection fee of four low-level magic stones."
Talent!
Ronan really wanted to give Barry a thumbs up.
The tree house area really doesn’t support idlers.
The last person to receive this comment from him was the fat blond Jacob who was born with the Bagua Holy Body.
Since you can't get rid of them, you can simply charge them to follow them, which won't be a loss at all.
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that there is really no better way to deal with it than this.
Ronan began to lead the mighty team towards the town, completely giving up the idea of going home.
Anyway, the belongings hidden under the tree will not be lost. Come back and get them later.
"It's best to replenish the lost mental power..."
On the way, Ronan thought to himself.
After the proficiency of [Energy Missile] reaches almost expert level, the mental power required to cast the spell once increases.
Under perfect conditions, Ronan's fifth-level apprentice's mental power can cast [Energy Missile] eight times in total. After eight times, he has to meditate to replenish it.
He went through two battles, lost four [Energy Missiles], and consumed almost half of his mental power.
Moreover, after fighting the two black robes, Ronan discovered that each time he cast a spell, he extracted more and more mental power. The remaining half of the mental power might not even be enough for the expected four spells.
"[Energy Missile]. It may need to be upgraded..."
Ronan had a vague feeling, and for a moment, he was full of expectations and a little worried.
