Chapter 549 Wings of Madness

"Mr. Speaker, everyone, I would like to ask everyone to think about a question first. If the gods that happened in Tamriel in the Empire come again in our Federation, can we resist it?"

"This time, the Empire defeated the evil gods at the cost of the death of His Majesty Carlos II." Deputy Speaker Bertrand did not directly agree or disagree, but raised a question.

"This." Many members of the parliament looked thoughtful.

At this time, a middle-aged man wearing a golden monocle said in a deep voice:

"Mr. Deputy Speaker, this is why we have to speed up the exploration of the ruins of the floating city. I believe that with the ancient floating city that can fight against the true gods in the legend, we naturally have the ability to fight." "

But this does not mean that we need to cooperate with the Empire." The other party seemed to have noticed Bertrand's intention and emphasized.

Bertrand glanced at the other party. The member's name was Pod Black. His family was an exiled noble from the Empire. Therefore, for the Dragun Empire, he naturally wanted to see it perish.

The descendants, derivative forces or spokespersons of these exiled nobles also occupy a considerable number of seats in the current federal parliament. This is why, during the low period of energy tide, there was constant friction between the Federation and the Empire, and the smell of gunpowder was strong.

The man with the golden monocle looked "indignant" and continued:

"Moreover, look at the sentence in the report, 'I hope the parliament can agree to invite Mr. Ryan of the Empire to join the exploration of the floating city address at a certain price', does this safeguard the interests of the Federation?"

"Of course, I personally admire and respect these federal strongmen, but it is obvious that they don't understand politics very well."

Bertrand seemed to have anticipated this situation a long time ago. He drank a sip of red tea with a calm face and said: "If it is an ordinary site, Senator Bode may be right. But you may not know that it has been confirmed that the black mist that controls the corpses of ancient goblins in the floating city is evil demons!"

"What! Evil demons?" An old congressman couldn't help but widen his eyes and said.

Some members who didn't quite understand what the evil demons represented were flipping through another document that was below the report.

"To put it simply, if we want to successfully explore the floating city ruins by relying on the Federation alone, the price we have to pay is probably quite high, and we may even fail."

"In addition, time is not on our side, or more precisely, it is not on the side of humans. I think it's time to work together." Bertrand said in a deep voice. For

a moment, the meeting room was silent.

"Mr. Vice Speaker, if the evil demons are really so terrifying and powerful, then even with the addition of the Dragun Empire, we may not be able to explore successfully. Since Mr. Vice Speaker insists, I can agree to limited cooperation."

Senator Bode, who was wearing a golden monocle, still disagreed with full cooperation and interrupted.

"I also agree to limited cooperation. As for how much benefit can be obtained in the floating city, it depends on the strength of the team sent by the Empire this time."

"I agree."

"I agree."

After thinking for a while, Federal Speaker Lawson Powell knocked on his pipe and made a decision:

"Then let's decide it this way. Limited cooperation."

The beautiful woman Trena, who was sitting next to him, looked at these colleagues with her beautiful eyes, and was quite speechless.

"Alas, if this plan is really implemented, and the team led by Mr. Ryan is sent by the Empire at that time, I am afraid that the Federation will not even get a soup to drink. They are really a group of people who don't understand the situation. "

But this is the general trend in the Federation, and even if she speaks, it can't change anything.

The speech of Deputy Speaker Bertrand just now was actually very thorough, but it is difficult to change anything.

After all, the hatred and prejudice against the Empire in some people's hearts is not caused by one generation, but by several generations.

Imperial Capital Tamriel.

Menia and Ryan, who were standing at the door of the black dragon Odrox's lair, did not go in, but continued to talk.

"The temper of the black dragon is the worst among the five colored dragons. Compared with Odrax, Metes has an even worse temper. No one has chosen it for nearly two hundred years." Menia said with a bitter smile.

"Two hundred years?" Ryan couldn't help but look surprised.

Although the other party is at the level of an extremely old dragon, the strength of ordinary dragon riders is not enough, but it is not the case that no one has chosen it for two hundred years.

"Is there something wrong with the other party?"

"Well, Metes has the nickname of 'Crazy Wings' among the dragons. It is said that when he was a teenager, he was brave and fierce. Later, in a certain battle, his head was severely injured. Once he got into a fierce battle, he would go crazy."

"Its previous dragon rider was crazy because of it in the battle. Although he defeated the Balrog in the end, the dragon rider himself died of serious injuries."

"I see." Ryan nodded.

The relationship between a dragon and a rider is like the relationship between a man and a war horse.

There is still cooperation between the knight and the warhorse. If the dragon under the crotch cannot obey the control or command of the dragon knight, then it is naturally quite dangerous in the battle.

However, this is not a problem for Ryan.

On the one hand, it is the confidence in strength, and on the other hand, it is naturally derived from the system's war pet contract.

"Menia, in terms of combat power, is this Metes, known as the 'Wings of Madness', higher?"

"That's right. In terms of combat power, even if the other four-color dragons are counted, the combat power of the 'Wings of Madness' Metes is second only to the Dragon King." Menia nodded and said.

"Ryan, is it possible that you..."

Hearing Ryan's question, Menia couldn't help but open her beautiful eyes slightly, as if she thought of something, and immediately looked at Ryan with some confusion.

Because she had just explained it very clearly, Ryan couldn't possibly not understand.

But if Ryan understood

"Menia, then go and see the 'Wings of Madness' Metes first." Ryan smiled and nodded, confirming Menia's guess.

"Are you serious?"

"Of course."

"Okay." Menia hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

She believed that Ryan was confident in doing this, and she swallowed back the words she wanted to persuade Ryan.

Following Menia's graceful and noble figure, he continued to walk forward in the deep passage of the demiplane for a few minutes, and soon, Ryan came to the entrance of another dragon's nest.

"Ryan, this is the nest of Metes, the 'Wings of Madness'."

"Except for the daily food delivery, no one has been here for a long time."

"Well, it is indeed a very powerful dragon." Ryan looked around, sensed it a little, and felt an invisible pressure permeating the surroundings.

The opponent's strength is indeed very strong, above Odrax just now. In addition, the dull snoring like thunder indicates that the opponent seems to be sleeping.   As the two stepped into the scorching nest, they saw a bright black mountain, lying in the center of the huge dragon's nest with a trace of hot steam and sleeping soundly

.   "Hmm, I smell the breath of Dragun blood."   "You are the offspring of Dragun, right?"   At this time, it seemed that the strength of Ryan and Menia had triggered some kind of alarm in Metes' body. The huge black dragon that was originally sleeping suddenly opened its huge eyes like windows and said in a deep voice.   The thunder-like voice shook the fine dust above the nest.   "Your Majesty Metes, good day, I am Menia Dragun, temporarily serving as the regent of the empire." Menia bowed slightly and said.   "Well, it seems that many things have happened in the Dragun Empire during my sleep." Metes looked at Menia with a little curiosity and said.   "By the way, when you came this time, could it be that a dragon knight wanted to choose me?"   "The young man in front of you? He is quite powerful."   "But it still won't work for me. I don't want the incident with Ignaz to happen again."   Soon, Metes stretched out his dragon head and looked at Ryan. Although it felt the mental fluctuations of the "late dawn" deliberately revealed by Ryan, it still shook its head.   Ryan knew that the Ignaz the other party was talking about was its previous dragon rider, and the one who died of serious injuries due to its violent behavior. Menia had already introduced him on the road just now. ——Although   the other party directly refused, judging from the black dragon Metes's well-organized words, the other party should only go crazy in battle, just like when a bullfights, a bull will go crazy when it sees blood.   This made Ryan nod in his heart. If they can communicate normally at ordinary times, there will be no problem.   "Sir Metes, I want to know, what are your requirements for choosing a dragon rider?" Ryan didn't mind Metes' words at all, but asked with a smile.   Hearing this, Metes' huge dragon pupils couldn't help but look at Ryan in surprise.   Seeing Ryan's calm expression, it seemed a little surprised, and couldn't help but straighten its neck and look carefully.   After all, a fool would not pass the rigorous dragon rider assessment. Those who can come here are all one in a thousand among the extraordinary strong men of the Dragun Empire.   Those who have the courage to stand before it and choose it are even more extraordinary. It is no exaggeration to say that they are one in a million.   "I need a dragon rider who can control me when I go crazy. Young man, although you are quite powerful, it is still impossible for you to do this."

"The wizard's relatively weak body can't avoid my accidental injury when I go crazy. If you are a high-level swordsman, you may be able to avoid it."

"Are you afraid of accidental injury?" Ryan couldn't help laughing.

"This requirement is not high. I think I should be able to do it." Ryan smiled and said.

"Hmm?"

The huge dragon pupils of the black dragon Metis and the beautiful eyes of Menia beside him couldn't help but focus on Ryan.

Ryan took a step forward calmly, and the next second, his body shape changed dramatically!

Muscles swelled, dragon scales emerged, and his body shape changed drastically.

What Ryan performed was the seventh form of the extremely old dragon transformation!

Suddenly, a dark silver dragon with a body length similar to that of the black dragon Metis appeared in the dragon's nest.

Metis, known as the "Wings of Madness", suddenly opened his dragon pupils wide, as if he had seen something incredible, and he couldn't help but step back two steps.

"You..."

"But even if it's the offspring of Dragun, it's almost impossible for it to have such a rich and pure dragon blood as yours?"

Metes was stunned. After a few seconds of being stunned, he came back to his senses and muttered.

Ryan did not answer Metes' question, but waved the dark silver dragon claws that were as huge as Metes's, and said:

"Do you need to demonstrate?"

"I think if I were your dragon rider, I wouldn't be accidentally injured when you go crazy. Maybe I can make you sober immediately."

Hearing Ryan's words, Metes was not angry, but shook his head and said:

"No, I agree to be your dragon partner."

"Offspring of Dragun, sign the contract." Metes turned his head slightly and said to Menia on the side.

"Okay." Menia's smile became brighter.

The strength of 'Crazy Wings' Metes is beyond doubt. Ryan can sign a contract with it. Not only will his own strength be improved, but the empire will also gain an important combat force.

She took an eye-shaped amulet from her fair neck, held it tightly in her hand, and quickly chanted a spell.

Ryan knew that this was the royal family's high-level magic weapon, the 'Eye of the Dragon'.

Soon, some strange and vast witchcraft fluctuations rose in the dragon's nest.

And right in front of Ryan and the black dragon Metes, several lines of ancient text written by spiritual text appeared out of thin air, which roughly meant becoming partners, taking care of each other, fighting, etc.

Ryan, who had read the terms of the contract, quickly raised his finger and pointed.

As a mental power fluctuation flashed, the words 'Ryan Kalan' appeared below the ancient text in the air.

And 'Crazy Wings' Metes, at this time, also raised his huge dragon claws and pointed in the air. A dragon clan real name that was much longer than Ryan's also appeared below the spiritual text.

In an instant, the contract was established!

At the same time, the system prompt also sounded:

[Ding! The host has contracted a dragon for the first time. The current number of contracted pets is (3/4)]

[Ding! The host has been detected to have triggered the core event of the job transfer Dragon Knight (Epic) - Contracting a Dragon! 】

【The prerequisites for the job transfer Dragon Knight (Epic) are: 1. Contract any dragon; 2. Behemoth Knight or related professions are above level 5; 3.

【Note: After the advanced job transfer Dragon Knight (Epic), the Beast Priest (Legend) job panel will be overwritten. 】

Seeing this long-awaited job transfer information, Ryan was overjoyed and naturally chose "Yes" without hesitation!

【Ding! Job transfer successful! 】

【Job transfer Dragon Knight (Epic)! Strength +5, Agility +5, Constitution +5, Spirit +5! Obtain the Dragon Knight (Epic) core skill: Dragon Companion (Passive). 】

Dragon Companion (Passive): As a Dragon Knight, when you fight with your Dragon Companion, you will have a hidden battle aura blessing and obtain the effect of improving all attributes. 】

(Note: fighting together means that the distance between the two parties cannot exceed the range of consciousness sensing.)

Hmm?

Metes felt something wrong for a moment, as if there was something else in addition to the contract from the descendants of Dragun.

However, it carefully sensed it again, but found nothing. It couldn't help but shook its head slightly and stopped thinking about it.

"Ryan, congratulations." Menia, who was standing by, saw this scene, stepped forward, smiled slightly, and congratulated.

"Thank you."

A few minutes later, a huge black dragon appeared above the palace. The huge black dragon soared into the sky, and as the concealing witchcraft flashed, the dragon disappeared instantly.

"Ang~~~"

At this time, the black dragon roared loudly.

And on the broad back of the black dragon Metes, which was shining with bright black scales, Ryan stood with a smile on his face.

"Finally, I became a dragon knight!"

A few minutes later.

Ryan came to the office of the Sword Bearer headquarters.

Although he was promoted to the Guardian of the Empire, he has not yet resigned from his position as the Sword Bearer because the Empire has just experienced a major change.

Olena, who received the news that Ryan had arrived at the headquarters, soon appeared at the door and said respectfully: "Sir, this is a top-secret letter sent by the palace attendant. In addition, there is an urgent message from the leader of the Moria faction."

"The urgent message from the leader of the Moria faction should have been delivered the day before yesterday, but because of the war in the imperial capital, it was delayed until now."

"Oh?" Ryan frowned slightly, and after taking the letter, he immediately began to read it.

As for the letter from the palace attendant, Ryan was not in a hurry, because Menia had told him that the letter contained a map of the dragon's lair that was suspected to be a steel dragon.

"Have you discovered the secret base of the Tutkarsh School? Encircle but not destroy. Wait for my news. The leader of the Moria School is very cautious." Ryan was relieved when he saw this and said.

Although he left behind the 'Destroyer', and Graham was severely injured by him, and the two clones of the evil god Neyobrekhan were also eliminated by him, there was no guarantee that the other party would be desperate and forcibly use some special means in the battle.

Moria was quite mature and prudent, and only sent people to surround them.

"My lord, is the situation serious?"

"Fortunately, there are some casualties."

"It seems that I have to go to the Cyrodiil Plateau first to completely eradicate the Tutkash School, which has some secret connection with the evil god Neyobrekan."

"Otherwise, as the energy tidal fluctuations intensify, I am afraid that the strength of the other party's clones that can descend will also be further enhanced."

Soon, Ryan had a plan in his mind.

"My lord, I will arrange a high-speed airship for you."

"Wait, if I don't have any special instructions in the future, you don't have to arrange it for me."

"Huh?" Olena blinked her beautiful eyes, revealing a hint of confusion.

When she followed Ryan out of the door, a special pressure suddenly descended after a while. Although she didn't see anything, Olena could feel the fear from the depths of her heart.

When Ryan flashed onto the back of Metheus, the majestic figure of the 'Wings of Madness' flashed before Olena's eyes through the concealing witchcraft.

"Hiss~ So big!" Olena couldn't help but cover her mouth and whispered.

"Master, have you made a contract with a dragon?"

"Congratulations, Master Ryan."

"Well, thank you, Olena, I'll leave first." Ryan nodded slightly and smiled.

After that, Ryan patted Metes on the back, and with a strong airflow, the man and the dragon quickly disappeared in the Sword Bearer headquarters.
