Chapter 118 An unexpected surprise
"Sir Ryan, if you do this to me... I have no objection." It seemed that because of the topic being discussed, the beautiful woman was a little embarrassed. A blush appeared on her fair oval face, which made her even more charming.
This immediately shocked Ryan.
At the same time, Ryan, who had never come into contact with a woman since his time travel, felt a hot current rising in his lower abdomen, and his mouth suddenly became dry.
He finally felt the openness of the nobles in terms of sex. As long as the benefits were in place, many things that were unimaginable before could be realized. Ryan was a normal man. It would be self-deception to say that there was no temptation at all.
If Ryan didn't know the existence of the 'Sword Bearer' and the details of the canonization assessment, perhaps Ryan would seriously consider it, but now, he would definitely not choose to marry into the family.
Suppressing his inner restlessness, Ryan calmed down his emotions, thought for a while, and said:
"Madam, it is impossible to marry into the family. However, I am flattered by your kindness. If the Crawley family has any difficulties, and it happens to be within my ability, I will not hesitate to help." As
soon as these words came out, Baroness Crawley could not hide the disappointment on her face. She had heard too many such nice words at the banquets of the nobles, and no one would take them seriously.
Since her husband died of a strange disease, the Crawley family has no official knights of direct bloodline. After Baron Crawley passed away, two knight retainers in their forties and fifties had set their sights on her mother and daughter, so she urgently needed to find a powerful official knight.
The new knight Ryan, who was born in a commoner and was quite powerful, could be said to be one of her best candidates, which was why Baroness Crawley rushed over from the county town early in the morning.
Although new civilian knights were relatively rare in the entire Mayster County, there must be more than one Ryan in a month.
But most of the new knights who were born as commoners were of mediocre strength, and knights like Ryan who had excellent talent were indeed quite rare.
"This is really a pity."
"Then Sir Ryan, can you consider becoming the guardian knight of the Crowley family? We are willing to provide a sum of money every year for the maintenance and purchase of your armor, weapons and horses."
As if worried that Ryan would refuse again, Mrs. Crowley quickly said: "Sir Ryan, we will only help when the Crowley family is in danger. The rest of the time, we will not disturb your practice."
Seeing Baroness Crowley's big watery eyes looking at him expectantly, Ryan thought for a moment, considered the words, and said: "But I may not be able to solve some of the dangers of the Crowley family, so..."
"Of course, those who need Sir Ryan's help are definitely within your ability." As if seeing that Ryan was willing to give in, Baroness Crowley began to use the honorific "you" to Ryan.
Although Ryan now has the strength of a knight, he has not been canonized by the empire and is not considered a noble. However, a baroness called him "you" at this time, which made Ryan experience the changes brought about by the improvement of strength.
Ryan thought about it, nodded, and said, "Okay, Madam, your sincerity touched me. I am willing to become the guardian knight of the Crowley family. How about two years?"
He still knew about the guardian knight. Hamilton once explained to him that if the knight's strength is very strong, many families will often seek the knight to become the guardian knight of their family.
Sometimes, the title of a powerful guardian knight is a deterrent, which can make a small family long-term and stable.
Similarly, the guardian knight will receive financial support from the family in some aspects during this process.
As for who will take advantage and who will suffer, it depends on each person.
"Of course, Lord Ryan, this is really great!" Baroness Crowley said happily.
"Then Sir Ryan, if you are free someday in the near future, please allow the Crowley family to hold a small welcome ceremony for you."
"Hmm? There is no need for a ceremony." Ryan frowned slightly. He did not want to waste time on some cocktail parties or ceremonies.
"Please be sure to come. After all, being the guardian knight of the Crowley family is not a trivial matter. Moreover, we also need you to deter some people who have bad intentions towards the Crowley family."
"That's fine! But not today, let's set it for next week." Ryan thought about it and felt that since he agreed, he should go through some formalities.
"Okay, then the time will be set for next week." Hearing that Ryan agreed, Baroness Crowley was relieved, and her beautiful eyes were shining. As long as Ryan could show up, it would be the best deterrent to the two knights with ill intentions.
"By the way, Sir Ryan, if you need anything, you can contact the Crowley family." The lady added, obviously, she was in a very good mood at the moment. Although it was not the best ending, it was also very good, so it was not a wasted trip.
Just when Ryan was about to say goodbye, something suddenly crossed Ryan's mind.
"By the way, Madam, I have a small favor here and may need your help. I don't know..."
"Of course, Sir Ryan, please speak directly." Hearing that Ryan had something to ask of her, the lady couldn't help but say enthusiastically.
She hoped that Ryan would ask her for help, so that she would have the opportunity to deepen communication and maintain a good relationship with this young knight with a bright future.
Ryan took out the note that he had prepared long ago from his arms and handed it to Baroness Crawley.
After the lady took it, she looked at it curiously, but from her blank eyes, it was obvious that she didn't recognize this kind of text.
Just when Ryan wanted to say something, Miss Jenny, who had been silent beside the lady, also turned her body to look at the note. Seeing the text on it, she couldn't help but exclaimed: "Is this spiritual text?"
"Hey! Miss Jenny, do you know this kind of text?" Ryan's heart moved slightly and said.
"Mr. Ryan, I haven't studied this kind of writing specifically, but I know a little bit about it. There are related text introductions in the family library, so I can recognize it."
"Oh, there are books? Can I borrow the relevant books?" Ryan couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"Of course, I will help Mr. Ryan sort it out when I go back." Jenny nodded and agreed.
Ryan nodded. He didn't expect that there would be such an unexpected surprise.
He originally planned to ask Hamilton first, and if it didn't work, he would prepare a second plan. Unexpectedly, he just walked out of the house and solved it!
It was agreed that someone would send the books over in two days. Ryan said goodbye to Baroness Crawley and Miss Jenny and left the carriage.
After getting off the car, Ryan continued to walk towards the town's administrative hall. After
arriving at the administrative hall, since Ryan had found a way to learn about that unknown text, he didn't rush to Hamilton's office, but turned a corner and came to the training ground.
Ryan saw at first glance that the wall of the training ground that had a big hole punched in it yesterday had been repaired. It seemed that the efficiency of the town administration office was still very high.
Seeing Ryan coming over, many night watchmen in training stopped what they were doing and surrounded him. This was because Ryan's temper was not strange and he was easy to get along with. Of course, the most important point was that Ryan had entered the extraordinary level.
It can be said that Ryan rose step by step after joining the job under the witness of other night watchmen, so he naturally gave other night watchmen a sense of closeness.
"Ryan, you're here! I thought you wouldn't come again."
"Yes, you have been promoted to the extraordinary level. From now on, I have to call you Knight Master, haha." The short Matteo said with a smile. "
."
Ryan looked at the smiling faces of his colleagues around him. Although there was a component of flattery in it, it was human nature to admire the strong, and there was nothing to criticize.
After greeting them one by one, Ryan asked for help from his colleagues. His reason was that he wanted to practice and test his reaction, so he needed several colleagues to shoot him with bows and arrows at the same time.
In fact, Ryan's real purpose was to confirm his guess yesterday.
After looking at the knight professional experience gained after the battle yesterday shown in the system prompt, Ryan vaguely guessed that after he entered the extraordinary, if the enemy was not extraordinary, the combat experience reward he could get would probably be very small.
"The four of you shoot at me with all your strength! Use combat arrows directly, and don't stop unless I say stop." Ryan urged.
Several people only hesitated for a moment and nodded.
Matteo said, "You are a knight now, and you are wearing armor, so combat arrows will probably not hurt you. But Ryan, you still have to be careful. If you are shot by us, it will be embarrassing, haha." "
Well, remember to attack with all your strength! If you can hurt me, I will treat you to a glass of tequila each at the Oak Tavern tonight." Ryan said with a smile.
"Haha, good! Let's work hard, don't let our knight master look down on us." The short Matteo said with a smile.
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!"
As soon as Ryan stood in the middle of the field, the arrows of the four people shot at him like a string of cannons.
After being promoted to a knight, the improvement of all attributes allowed Ryan to dodge most of the arrows without turning on the "limit breaking". He also used his hands with plate gloves to deflect a small number of arrows.
After testing several times.
Ryan waved his hand and asked the panting Matteo and others to stop.
Sure enough, the test results were as he expected. If he could gain a small amount of experience in the battle with Matteo and others before, now basically no experience value acquisition prompts are triggered.
After several tests, he only occasionally received two +1 experience value prompts.
Obviously, if Ryan wants to earn knight professional experience points efficiently, he has to find opponents of the same extraordinary level.
In this case, Ryan smiled, as if he had no choice but to fleece Hamilton.
However, as soon as Ryan entered Hamilton's office, Hamilton looked up at him and said, "Ryan, you're just in time. I was just about to send someone to look for you."
Before Ryan could ask, Hamilton handed Ryan a thin parchment bounty.
