Chapter 331 Dragon Rider Selection (Two chapters in one)
I saw that Ryan, who was originally riding on Xueyu and was 40 to 50 meters away from the rock wall, now held up his lance horizontally, squeezed his legs, and followed the loud cry of the eagle of Xueyu.
Suddenly, the man and the eagle, like an arrow from a string, shot straight to the rock wall, so fast that it arrived in an instant.
"Boom!"
With a loud bang!
At the impact point of the rock wall, a circle of white air waves suddenly exploded, and a large amount of gravel splashed. As the smoke and dust dissipated, a basin-sized depression appeared on the rock wall!
However, the nearly four-meter-long lance in Ryan's hand played the disappearing trick.
Because at this moment, part of Ryan's hand was also inserted into the rock wall, not up to his forearm, so the lance was naturally even more invisible.
Fortunately, Xueyu used his strong claws to grab the rock wall heavily, which was considered to buffer the impact of the sprint, otherwise it might have hit the rock wall slightly.
"The rock wall is more fragile than I thought."
"No, it should be that my strength is stronger and I didn't control the scale at once." Ryan shook his head and said.
"Crash!"
He slowly pulled the dark lance out of the rock wall, bringing out a lot of gravel, and a round hole the size of a bowl appeared on the rock wall.
At this time, Ryan suddenly raised his head and looked to his left rear.
He saw four black spots flying in the distance. Ryan narrowed his eyes slightly and immediately saw clearly that they were four griffin knights.
Obviously, the patrolling griffin knights should have discovered the movement here, so they came to check.
"Hey, it's Sir Ryan." As the distance gradually approached, soon, the leading Viscount Felke exclaimed in a low voice.
He shook the reins and immediately accelerated forward.
Fisher, who was standing by, also smiled and said to the other two Griffin Knights, "Didn't you say before that you wanted to meet Lord Ryan? Here he is."
"Lord Felke, long time no see." Ryan waved his hand and said hello with a smile.
He just saw that the person who came was Viscount Felke, the deputy captain of the Griffin Squadron, and he was an old acquaintance.
"Lord Ryan, you should have some kind of horned eagle under your crotch, right? It's really a rare flying mount!" Felke, with blond hair, looked at the blood feather under Ryan's crotch and couldn't help but look surprised .
"Yes, the blood feathered horned eagle, I also got it by chance."
"Viscount Felke, I have always envied you as a Griffin Knight, who can soar into the sky." Ryan said with a smile.
The two complimented each other.
At this time, Fisher accidentally felt a ray of sunlight shining on his face, flickering and dazzling, so he naturally looked up.
Huh?
I saw that the beam of light was actually coming from the rock wall of the main peak of the Hrothgar Mountains!
What was going on?
My current position should be just north of the main peak, and the sun was blocked, so how could there be light
?
"Hiss~"
Fisher rubbed his eyes and squinted to look carefully. In an instant, his eyes suddenly widened and he took a breath of cold air.
Seeing Fisher's dumbfounded look, Felke and the other two griffin knights beside him naturally turned their heads curiously.
The next second, the three of them were like Fisher, as if they were struck by lightning, and the whole person froze there. At the same time, their eyes bulged and their faces showed horror!
This made Ryan feel a little curious, and he looked up.
Hmm?
The rock wall that I just hit was penetrated?
I saw a through hole in the rock wall at the top of the mountain range, which was seven or eight meters thick.
What was even more bizarre was that it seemed that the sun was in the right position, and a ray of sunlight just passed through the hole, shining from the other side of the mountain to the Munster side in advance.
"The original beauty of the main peak of the Hrothgar Mountains - 'Golden Summit', I'm afraid it will be renamed. No, there should be an additional beauty!" Fisher, who was born and raised in this place, was a little dazed for a while, muttering to himself.
The original main peak of the Hrothgar Mountains, in the morning of a clear day, as the sun reached a suitable position, would shine on the main peak with a golden glow, so this beautiful scenery was named 'Golden Summit'.
Hearing Fisher's words, including Felke, they all fell silent for a while.
Because they really couldn't believe that Ryan's previous attack directly created a new attraction.
Ryan was also slightly startled!
After all, when he made the move, he didn't think too much, he just thought that the rock wall of the main peak of the Hrothgar Mountains was just right.
However, the effect in front of him really surprised him a little!
"Sir Ryan, I'm afraid you have added a new beauty to Munster. Perhaps, the Administration Office will soon come to ask you what name is more appropriate." Felke said with a smile after being surprised.
"Well, I just tried the new secret, but I didn't expect it to have such an effect." Ryan shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Sir Ryan, I think this hole should be named after you, called 'Rane's Hole', how about it?" Fisher complimented.
Fisher's starting point was also very simple. If he wanted to let the world know about it, he naturally had to let people know who made this hole.
But Ryan was stunned when he heard this!
What? What kind of a name is 'Rane's Hole'? It's
better to drill a hole in the wall to steal light.
I originally thought that Fisher, this young man, was a smart guy, but now it seems that he is also a bad name.
"Hey, how about the Hole of Light? Maybe it sounds better." Ryan coughed and said.
Ryan's words immediately made the four people react.
"Sir Ryan is right. The name 'Hole of Light' has a more profound meaning." Felker immediately agreed with a smile.
As a descendant of a great noble from the imperial capital, it is naturally one of the necessary skills to read people's expressions.
"Sir Ryan, this name is so good."
The others praised him immediately, but their eyes kept looking at the hole from time to time. The powerful penetrating power brought by this highly concentrated force was really amazing!
After a while,
Ryan and Felker slowly controlled their mounts and landed on a slightly flat part of the mountain. They chatted alone.
"Sir Ryan, as a knight with a flying mount, plus your identity as a sword holder, you are almost equivalent to a griffin knight. You can skip the Royal Griffin Guard and directly apply for the assessment to join the Imperial Dragon Rider Reserve."
Felker's face was solemn and he said seriously.
"Dragon Rider Reserve?" Ryan asked in confusion.
He only knew that the guardians of the empire, those dragon knights, seemed to be selected from the Royal Griffin Guard layer by layer. He didn't know anything else.
"Yes, Lord Ryan."
"Do you still remember the token that His Highness Menia gave you, the red dragon scale?"
"Of course." Ryan nodded.
"In fact, His Highness Menia had this idea at the time, and thought you had a chance to participate in the selection of dragon knights. However, considering that you don't have a flying mount and lack relevant air combat experience, you are given the red dragon scale so that you can join the Royal Griffin Guard first."
"Because according to the conventional process, most dragon knight candidates first join the Royal Griffin Guard, contract a griffin, and train for a few days to become familiar with flying before they can be qualified to participate in the dragon knight assessment." "
But now you have a blood-feathered horned beast mount, so you can skip this step."
"And your identity as a diamond-level swordsman and His Highness Menia's token will basically not have any problems in the background check of the dragon knight reserve assessment."
Felke said a lot of things with great enthusiasm, and Ryan could of course hear that this was the other party showing goodwill to him.
On the other hand, he was indeed very interested in what the other party said.
"Oh? Then what happens after passing this assessment and becoming a dragon rider reserve? How long does it take to become a dragon rider?" Hearing this, Ryan's eyes lit up and he asked.
Before, Ryan was not very interested in joining the Royal Griffin Guard. The main reason was that the combat effectiveness of the griffin itself was not very helpful to him.
At the same time, he already had a blood-feathered horned beast, and contracting a griffin would not make much sense.
But if he could contract a dragon, it would naturally be different. It was a completely different concept.
Not to mention the powerful combat effectiveness of an adult dragon, the benefit that the epic class 'Dragon Rider' brought to Ryan would probably not be less than that of the epic class 'King of Thousand Blades'.
"Well, this is hard to say."
Felker paused, as if he was organizing his words.
This made Ryan curious.
"Because the birth of the Dragon Rider is the product of a two-way choice. The dragon chooses the man, and of course, the man also chooses the dragon. However, the most important thing is the former, because the number of dragons is far less than the number of Dragon Rider candidates." Felker said slowly.
"Oh? So that's how it is." Ryan raised his eyebrows and nodded.
"Dragon Knight selection is basically held once every five years, unless there is very serious combat damage, there will be an additional test. This time, because of the battle in the Imperial Capital, several Imperial Dragon Knights were killed. So, the Empire decided to add an additional test."
Hmm?
Ryan finally understood.
"Could it be that the dragon knight's mount dragon is inherited from the previous dragon knight who died in battle?" Ryan couldn't help asking.
"Yes, the growth cycle of dragons is too long, and dragons are different from other creatures. They grow continuously, which means that the longer the dragon's lifespan, the larger its body, and the richer its combat experience."
Felke explained tirelessly.
"Although the official dragon knight selection is scheduled for the month of frost, if Lord Ryan has an idea, you have to go to the Imperial Capital as soon as possible, because the assessment of the dragon knight reserve is on the first Sunday of the harvest month." "
If you miss it, I'm afraid you will have to wait another five years."
"Thank you Lord Felke for telling me." Ryan bowed slightly to express his gratitude.
"You're welcome, Lord Ryan. I still have some things to deal with. We can talk next time when we are free." Felke also bowed slightly and said with a smile.
"Okay, Lord Felke."
After Felke and his group left.
Ryan jumped on the back of Blood Feather again and flew towards his mansion.
But along the way, Ryan was digesting the information provided by Felke.
"It is now the Month of Flowers, followed by the Month of Stag, the Month of Midsummer and the Month of Flowing Fire, and then the Month of Harvest."
"From this point of view, if I want to participate in this Dragon Knight selection, I only have more than three months to prepare."
When Ryan controlled Blood Feather to slowly land, his sister Mint immediately surrounded him, pulled Ryan and asked excitedly:
"Brother, why did you take so long? By the way, how does it feel to be in the sky?"
"I also want to fly in the sky."
"Brother, can you take me to fly around in the sky!"
"That's easy, I'll take you to fly around now." Ryan touched Mint's head and said with a smile.
Ryan would naturally satisfy such a small request from his sister.
However, Mint's bright eyes rolled around, and then she turned her head and smiled sweetly at Anna, saying, "Sister Anna, please stay with me, otherwise I will be scared."
"Ah? This." Anna was about to refuse, but she didn't expect Mint to grab her hand and push her over.
Anna was just thinking, would Mint be scared?
But with Ryan as her brother, why would Mint, as a sister, be scared?
Before Anna could figure out this problem, she was pulled over by Mint.
At this moment, another problem was placed in front of her, that is, how should three people sit?
However, when Anna was still in a daze, Mint had already arranged this problem.
"Sister Anna, if you hold me, I won't be scared, okay?"
Facing Mint's innocent big eyes, Anna really couldn't say no or anything else, and all she could do was nod.
"Yeah!"
"Yeah, that's great!" Mint smiled so hard that her big eyes narrowed into a slit.
Wait.
That's not right.
If I hold Mint, I can't let Mint hold Ryan, right?
That means Ryan
seemed to think of something while holding Anna, and a pair of beautiful eyes showed a trace of panic.
"Brother, then you have to hold Sister Anna, otherwise, Sister Anna will be scared." Mint said loudly at this time.
Swish!
Anna's face turned red.
Although the intimacy between her and Ryan has improved by leaps and bounds after their reunion, it is still secretly.
But this time, being held in Ryan's arms in front of a group of guards still made her feel shy.
"This, this. I actually..."
Before Anna could say anything else, Mint urged the two to go up quickly.
"Brother, let's go!"
"Okay!" Ryan nodded and said with a smile.
When Anna was held in Ryan's arms, she immediately lowered her head shyly and hugged Mint tightly.
Before taking off.
Ryan cast his innate witchcraft "Metal Transfiguration".
On Ryan's palm, a piece of demonized silver with a slightly soft texture instantly transformed into a ring similar to the safety bar of a roller coaster in his previous life. It encircled the three people and passed through and buckled under the abdomen of Blood Feather.
After all, safety must be put first when it comes to his sister and Anna.
However, in this way, Anna and Ryan are tightly together.
As a close-combat type Blood Feather Hippogryph, with Anna and almost negligible Mint, there is no pressure of any weight at all.
As the Blood Feather Hippogryph flapped its wings and flew into the air again, the three people suddenly rose and fell violently, Mint naturally shouted excitedly, and Anna and Ryan could not help but be infected by this simple and pure happiness.
However, when Blood Feather flew quickly, Anna, who was sitting in front of Ryan, had her hair fluttering in the wind.
When the pleasant fragrance of plants and trees, along with the hair, brushed over Ryan's nose, Ryan couldn't help but tighten his arms around Anna.
The flying posture of the blood-feathered horned eagle is quite special. It is different from that of ordinary eagles. It is more like that of horses. Every time it flaps its wings, it will rise and fall.
This made Ryan a little uncomfortable.
It is really difficult to remain calm when you are so close to each other!
Especially when the relationship between the two is very close.
After a while, Anna suddenly felt that her buttocks seemed to hit something hard.
At first, she twisted her waist uncomfortably, trying to adjust the position of her buttocks to avoid that thing.
But later she found that she couldn't avoid it.
So she tried to press the other party under her buttocks.
But with Ryan's slight groan, Anna suddenly realized that the thing that was so uncomfortable was
immediately. Anna's face was as red as a red iron, almost red and dripping blood.
For a moment, she only felt her cheeks burning, her whole body softened, and even the hand holding mint was loose and soft.
Fortunately, Ryan used metal deformation in advance to encircle the three of them together, and then tightly buckled them on Xueyu's abdomen. Even if Anna let go, Mint would not have any safety problems.
Mint, who was sitting in the front, waved his hands happily and shouted from time to time.
In sharp contrast to Mint, Anna kept her head down the whole time, almost burying her head in her chest, and the whole person was silent.
"Sister Anna, why is your body so hot?"
"Sister Anna, why are you shaking all over? Are you scared?"
"Brother, hold Sister Anna tight, she is scared!"
"."
With a slight twitch all over Anna's body, the whole person collapsed softly in Ryan's arms, and her beautiful eyes seemed to be filled with a layer of mist. She didn't even know when Xueyu landed in the backyard. When she
came down, her legs were weak. If it weren't for Ryan's support, she would probably sit on the ground.
But when she came to her senses, she left the scene quickly like a frightened rabbit.
"Brother, what happened to sister Anna?"
"Does she not like flying in the sky?"
"This." Ryan didn't know how to answer his sister's question for a moment.
He couldn't say that sister Anna was shy because his brother pointed a gun at her the whole time.
But Ryan thought about what happened in the sky just now.
He found that Anna was the kind of person who would go soft when touched, and seemed to be extremely sensitive.
"Maybe it's the first time,
so I'm a little nervous." "But it's my first time too, why am I not nervous?" Mint continued to ask in confusion.
"."
However, after the beautiful moment, Ryan soon thought of something.
"I have to hurry up and learn the levitation technique, otherwise, if I fall from a high altitude, I will be seriously injured if I don't die."
After all, once the battle starts, anything can happen, so be prepared in advance just in case.
"I have to go to the exchange hall in the afternoon or tomorrow morning."
"Exchange the levitation technique and some rare metals."
When Ryan returned to the study, he came to Jenny's room.
Since Agatha's room was still under repair, Agatha was resting in Jenny's room.
For the unexpected disaster that Agatha suffered this time, Ryan still had to visit her.
"Lord Ryan, why are you here?" Agatha saw Ryan coming to visit her, and she sat up from the bed happily.
This feeling of being valued by an important person made Agatha feel warm in her heart.
"Have a good rest, Agatha." Ryan waved his hand, signaling Agatha to lie down.
"Thank you for your concern, Lord Ryan. I'm actually fine. I'm just a little scared."
"Lord Ryan, Agatha was mainly frightened and has a few scratches. Don't worry, I'll take good care of Agatha." Jenny introduced.
"Well, you can tell me if you need anything." Ryan nodded.
"Okay, thank you Lord Ryan."
When Ryan returned to the study, he quickly called the beautiful woman Jennifer and asked:
"Jennifer, how are the guards you trained at the Chamber of Commerce last time?"
For the attack that happened this time, although the main reason was that the strength of the attackers was too strong compared to the guards, it also sounded a wake-up call for Ryan.
He planned to strengthen the overall defense of the mansion.
"The time is too short, only half a year, most of them are at the level of first or second level knight attendants, and there are very few who have reached the level of third level knight attendants." The beautiful woman frowned slightly, shook her head, and said.
Ryan nodded, which was about the same as he expected.
When nobles select servants or guards, they usually train them from childhood and select them layer by layer. Although loyalty can be basically guaranteed, it takes a lot of time.
This is one of the reasons why it is difficult for emerging nobles to catch up with the nobles with deep roots in a short period of time.
"By the way, dear, just now, the mansion received an invitation letter from the Goddess Church, signed by Brando." The beautiful woman took out an invitation letter from the side and handed it to Ryan, saying.
"Oh? A letter from Brando?" Ryan took it and opened it, reading it at a glance.
After reading it, Ryan couldn't help laughing and said, "Jennifer, you must not have thought that Bishop Xien was transferred to Munster Cathedral to preside over the work."
"Huh? Bishop Xien is coming to Munster? That's great." The beautiful woman's eyes lit up and said.
"Tomorrow night, you will accompany me to the welcome banquet." Ryan nodded and said.
"Okay, dear."
After Jennifer left, Ryan took out the transparent prismatic crystal in his waist bag for the first time. It was the memory crystal from his mentor Mogaro.
What is stored inside is the first level of the advanced meditation method "Heart of Steel", which is more important than the School of Construction.
Previously, because Ryan had been focusing on the job transfer of the epic class, he had temporarily put aside the matter of learning the advanced meditation method.
However, now, he can learn it.
As Ryan held the crystal and probed his consciousness into it, soon, a stream of knowledge of the advanced meditation method flooded into his mind.
Thank you for the reward for being happy and having good luck!
