Chapter 528 Alien Spider Swarm
If a person with strong power can communicate politely and equally, he can often quickly gain the favor of others.
After just a short chat, many people in this Breton caravan put down their guard against Ryan and began to talk and laugh, especially a Breton girl named Aiyana, whose eyes were bright and full of curiosity about Ryan.
"Those wizards wearing black robes and with bones or skulls tattooed on their chests are the most hateful. They actually secretly stole the bodies of warriors in our tribal tombs." Aiyana said angrily.
"Oh? There are bones or skulls on their chests?"
"Are they wizards from the Tutkash School? I heard that they are more active in the west of the Cyrodiil Plateau?" Ryan asked with a little doubt.
"Well, they used to be, but now there are also many wandering black-robed wizards near our tribe." Aiyana nodded and said crisply.
"Sir, you just said they are from the Tutkash School?"
The girl's question was inadvertently heard by the old man and the young man beside them. The two stiffened slightly. Ryan naturally noticed this scene and smiled slightly.
Obviously, as the main fighting force in the tribe, they knew who their enemy was, but they didn't tell the girl.
"Yes." Ryan smiled and nodded.
"I see. By the way, I also heard that the disappearance of people in several Breton tribes near the west is getting more and more serious. It seems that it is also related to the Tutkash School."
"Sister!" The Breton youth who talked to Ryan at the beginning couldn't help but remind his sister, signaling his sister not to talk nonsense.
After all, in his eyes, Ryan was a stranger.
Although he was not wearing a wizard robe of the Tutkash School, he couldn't guarantee whether there was some kind of connection. His sister was so outspoken that it was easy to cause trouble.
"Don't worry, I'm not familiar with them, let alone friends."
"By the way, didn't you report this to the Empire?"
"Also, I heard that the Isodri School is quite powerful in the Cyrodiil Plateau. Don't they care about this?" Ryan smiled and tried to lead the topic to the Isodri School.
Because the upper echelons of the Empire allow large wizard schools to enjoy preferential rights in a region, while also asking them to shoulder the responsibility of the safety and orderly development of the region.
"It used to be okay. Those yellow-robed wizards who manipulated rocks and soil would intervene, and sometimes they would fight with black-robed wizards, but in recent years, this situation seems to be less and less, and they don't even care anymore."
This time, the Brighton youth spoke on behalf of his sister.
However, he seemed to be afraid of both schools, using yellow robes to refer to the wizards of the Isodri School, and black robes to refer to those wizards of the Tutkash School.
"As for the Empire, there are no people anywhere else except Nilheim." The young man said with a little disdain.
Although the words were blunt, Ryan knew that the other party was telling the truth.
Even the Imperial Sword Bearers had not established a decent branch in the Cyrodiil Plateau. They only left a base similar to a contact point in Nilheim, with only a few people.
"By the way, it seems that your ore is to be sent to a designated chamber of commerce?" Ryan recalled the old man's embarrassed expression just now and couldn't help asking.
"Yes, sir, these ores are to be sent to the Giant Stone Chamber of Commerce, which is the chamber of commerce under the Isoder School you just mentioned."
"Do you know what they want these metal ores for?"
"I'm not sure, but I accidentally heard a yellow-robed wizard mutter something last time, metal puppets or something." The Brighton youth thought for a while and said.
Just as Ryan was about to continue asking, suddenly, a sharp bone whistle sounded:
"Left front, alien spider swarm! A large number!"
"Oh no!" Hearing the warning whistle, the Brighton youth Antaluka suddenly jumped up like a leopard and rushed forward quickly.
Ryan couldn't help but narrow his eyes and look at the direction where the Breton people were quickly gathering for defense.
He saw a group of fist-sized black spiders, which were quickly attacking the caravan. There were so many of them that they looked like a large black cloth of dozens of square meters, floating quickly along the ground.
"A group of alien spiders?" Ryan couldn't help but be a little confused.
"Yes, sir. In recent years, there are more and more black spiders, but I hardly saw such a thing when I was a child. I heard from the elders in the tribe that these are foreign creatures." The Breton girl Aiyana explained.
"Oh? Is it difficult to deal with?"
"If the number is small, it is actually not difficult to deal with. An experienced tribe member can deal with four or five. The key is that every time these alien spiders appear, they are a group, at least a dozen."
"So, once the elderly, weak, women and children in the tribe go out and encounter them, they will inevitably be killed. Even the young and strong have to be careful when they encounter them." Aiyana looked at the black mass of alien spiders rushing in front of her and introduced with a worried look on her face.
At this time, Ryan saw that the so-called alien spiders and the Breton warriors had already fought.
As the axes arced, black blood and chitinous shells splashed. The black-striped spiders in the front row were chopped down by the Breton warriors, but the spiders in the back continued to pour in.
At the same time, these spiders began to spit out spider webs with a faint black glow, or spewed out oily green venom.
"Be careful!"
This spider web is very special and extremely sticky. The Breton warriors who were accidentally caught in the web were like being stuck by super glue. It was very difficult to get rid of it, and their movement speed was greatly reduced.
And those oily green venoms are like sulfuric acid. Once contaminated, even with the strong physique of the Breton people, the skin will instantly become red, swollen, blistered and begin to fester.
"These spider webs and venom are the most troublesome." Aiyana said bitterly.
But she was not very worried. Sure enough, as the leading Breton youth, Aiyana's brother Antaruka, had red skin and became bigger, the battle began to come to an end.
"Sure enough, he has the blood of giants. Although the concentration of the blood is only at a weak level, it can still determine the outcome of a small battle." Ryan saw the depth of Antaruka at a glance.
"Huh? This faint breath seems to be..."
Ryan narrowed his eyes and looked thoughtful.
As a high-level wizard in the late Dawn, Ryan's perception is extremely sharp. He has just noticed that after the black-striped spiders died, in addition to the smelly blood and internal organs, there is also a faint and familiar breath.
This breath is extremely weak, and Ryan did not pay attention to it at first, but as more and more alien spiders died, he noticed it.
"It seems to be almost the same as the breath that burst out of Staven's body at the last moment."
After thinking for a moment, Ryan can be sure of this.
"These alien spiders don't seem to be strong in combat? Or are there other individuals with stronger strength?" Ryan asked again.
"Yes, sir, the strength of these alien spiders varies, and some individuals are very strong." The Breton elder just walked over and said.
"However, the most troublesome thing is that these alien spiders have a strong reproductive capacity. They will bring the carcasses of their prey into the deep holes dug underground and lay eggs on the carcasses. Before long, more spiders will be produced." "
There should be an alien spider nest near here."
"Oh? Can you take me to see it?" Ryan thought for a while and said.
"Of course," the old man agreed happily, and at the same time, he also wanted to see Ryan's strength.
"I'll go too! I'll go too! I've never seen an alien spider nest before!" Aiyana said excitedly.
"Sister!"
At this time, Antaruka, a young man from Brighton with a lot of blood on his body, walked over quickly with a battle axe in his hand.
"Brother, with you and the elders here, I will be fine, right?" Aiyana couldn't help but pull her brother's hand and shake it vigorously.
"Okay! But you have to stay by my side and don't run around." The young man shook his head helplessly and said.
Ryan couldn't help but smile slightly when he saw this scene, as if he remembered his sister Mint.
At this time, a huge eagle was seen hovering in the northwest sky for a while, as if pointing out the direction.
"Over there!"
Soon, Ryan, Elder Brighton, Antaruka and several others came to the edge of a yellow-brown land.
This place is about several hundred square meters. The original alpine meadow on the ground has long dried up and turned into yellow dead grass covering the ground. What is more eye-catching is the fist-sized holes, which are densely packed like scars on the earth.
At the same time, groups of gray spiders are crawling out of this hole from time to time, and then quickly enter from another hole, in an endless stream.
"It is indeed related to Neyoubrekan." Ryan thought to himself.
Here, the aura has obviously become slightly stronger, but it is almost undetectable for those below the Dawn Wizard.
"But this is the sphere of influence of the Isoderre School. Even if ordinary school wizards are not aware of the secrets behind the alien spider swarm, as a Dawn Wizard Stuart with the title of "Stone Shield", he should not have not heard the reports of his subordinates!"
"Then why did the other party allow the Tutkash School to do this?"
"Could it be that" Ryan narrowed his eyes and had a vague guess in his heart.
At this time, the elder Brighton on the side said:
"My lord, although these caves are small, they are dug very deep. We have used methods such as boiling water to irrigate them, but the effect is not great. Unless a high-level earth wizard casts earth magic, the alien spider swarm in this area can be completely eliminated."
Ryan nodded and said nothing, but he had already decided in his heart that since he encountered it, he would solve this nest.
After all, it was simple for him.
He took a few steps forward again, bent down and gently placed his palm on the ground.
Seeing Ryan's move, several people, including Elder Brighton, looked curiously, as if they wanted to know what the strange wizard in front of them was going to do.
Suddenly!
They saw that the ground, with the palm of the young human wizard in front of them as the center, emitted waves of dark silver ripples covering the surroundings, and the area was so wide that it covered the entire area.
The next moment!
There were a series of "chi chi" piercing sounds, and sharp dark silver metal spikes grew on the ground and in the cave, like a thorn forest!
"Hiss!"
The densely packed cave entrance was filled with the dying screams of alien spiders, but the sound soon returned to silence.
After doing all this, Ryan smiled and slowly stood up, but found that everyone, including Elder Brighton, seemed to have been cast under a spell of immobilization, with their mouths wide open and their eyes wide open, staring at the scene in front of them for a long time and unable to recover.
"Are you a high-level wizard?" Elder Brighton couldn't help but ask.
Ryan looked at the outline of the city of Nilheim that was already vaguely visible in the distance, and did not answer Elder Brighton's question. Instead, he smiled and said, "Everyone, I have something else to do, so let's say goodbye."
"My lord, what's your name?" Aiyana couldn't help but shout.
"Sister!" Antaruka hurriedly stopped!
The young wizard in front of him was so powerful that the energy fluctuation just now was so terrible.
How could he not know that the other party had no ill intentions from the beginning, otherwise, not only him, but even the entire caravan would be no different from the alien spider nest in front of him in the eyes of the other party, and could be destroyed at will.
The next moment, Ryan had disappeared from the spot.
"My name is Ryan!"
However, a voice came from afar.
"This..."
The scene in front of them was even more unimaginable for the Brighton people. They had also seen wizards, and even had priests who were comparable to wizards in their tribe, but the problem was that they had never seen such a situation of disappearing out of thin air.
"A miracle," Elder Brighton murmured.
"Lord Ryan," Aiyana tried hard to engrave that figure in her mind.
Since the current location was not far from the Isolder School's headquarters, Ryan used the "Shadow Shuttle" slightly and came to the outside of Nilheim.
"Hey, the defense is quite tight."
Ryan could naturally judge that the entire city of Nilheim in front of him was shrouded in a super-large magic array, but this magic array seemed to have only detection function.
After a little thought, Ryan flashed again. In an instant, he seemed to squeeze into a bubble, and then his figure came to the roof of a civilian house.
His behavior did not cause the super-large detection magic array to sound an alarm, as if the previous behavior was integration, not invasion.
Ryan looked around the entire city. In addition to the rows of double-story or three-story stone flat-roofed houses, the tall hall in the center of the city and the magnificent Isolder School's headquarters were the most eye-catching.
In the evening, there were quite a few people around, but judging from their clothes, most of them were nomads or minority races like the Bretons.
"They actually occupied the most central location of a city."
"It's a pity that they allowed the evil gods and secret cults to wreak havoc. They are unworthy of their
position." Ryan shook his head, and the next moment, he appeared in front of the Isolde School.
"Huh? Why is there suddenly one more person?" Several guards rubbed their eyes, looked at each other, and said in disbelief.
"Who are you?" A guard asked cautiously.
"Please tell them that Ryan is visiting." Ryan said lightly.
"Wait a moment."
Seeing Ryan's almost weird appearance, the guards did not dare to neglect it. They immediately ran to a sentry box at the back and reported to a third-level wizard apprentice who seemed to be the head of the guard:
"Sir, someone is visiting."
The third-level wizard apprentice was flipping through an ancient book. Hearing the guard's report, he casually looked up and saw Ryan's young face. He thought, "Another young man who wants to join the school?"
"What is he doing here? Have you asked?" The third-level wizard apprentice said lazily.
"This. I forgot to ask. I'll ask right away." The guard was just shocked by Ryan's weird appearance and really forgot to ask.
"Forget it, this young wandering apprentice is probably here to seek to join the school. Tell him that the selection time has passed and come back next year." The third-level wizard apprentice waved his hand without raising his head and said.
"This." The guard instinctively felt that the other party was not like that, but he did forget to ask just now, and he couldn't help but hesitate for a while.
"By the way, what's his name?" The third-level wizard apprentice asked casually as if on a whim.
"He said his name is Ryan!"
"What! Ryan?" The third-level wizard apprentice suddenly looked up and looked at Ryan!
He had just received a notice saying that if a dawn wizard named Ryan came to visit, he must report it immediately, but the adults above did not say that the other party was so young!
But at this time, Ryan was already quite impatient. He just heard him mobilize his mental power a little and said, "Sir Stuart, Ryan is visiting!"
Suddenly, an invisible sound wave spread towards the main hall of the Isolde School with Ryan as the center. Especially the last four words, the sound was getting louder and louder. When the sound wave came to the front of the hall, it was like a tsunami sweeping across, and like a thunderbolt in the clear sky!
At this moment, in the meeting hall of the Isolde School,
four crystallized peak wizards including the deputy master Malcolm, and the dawn wizard Stuart Abel, who was titled "Rock Shield" and was sitting at the head of the long wooden table, were discussing something.
"Master, do you really think that Ryan will come directly to the Cyrodiil Plateau?" said an old wizard with gray hair.
"This is not just a belief. According to reliable information, Ryan had already left Munster half a day ago, and the airship was heading northwest at that time. In other words, the other party is very likely to go straight to the Cyrodiil Plateau and our school." Malcolm explained.
"This young man is too arrogant. He has just entered the level of Dawn Wizard, but he dares to offend like this!" Another old wizard with a mustache shook his head.
"Yes, the Isoderre School has stood on the Cyrodiil Plateau for nearly a thousand years. How can such a young man shake it? I'm afraid that once he arrives at the school's residence and finds the huge defensive magic formation, he will be scared and run away."
The old wizard who was playing with a yellowish-brown sphere said jokingly.
"Hahaha!"
Several people laughed when they heard this funny.
At this time, suddenly, a thunderous voice came into the meeting hall!
".Ryan is visiting!"
