Chapter 412 Tidal Eight-segment Slash
However, Ryan thought about it and remembered what Claire had reminded him before.
The second prince Everton is not as friendly as he seems. If we use an animal as a metaphor, perhaps... a venomous snake is more appropriate.
The opponent should be waiting for a certain opportunity .
Ryan's eyes flickered, as if he thought of something.
At this time, the next candidate began to play, which made Ryan's attention focus on the field again.
The following battle was colorful, and at the same time, it also allowed Ryan to further understand the descendants and disciples of the imperial wealthy families, various wizard schools and sword saint schools.
The opponent drawn by Harlowen was the hurricane element.
Although he successfully solved it in the end, his performance was generally not much different from Luther, hovering around the passing line.
"Next, please invite No. 81, Lambert to play." The waiter shouted.
I saw a middle-aged man with a two-handed sword on his back, his hands folded on his chest, standing on a relatively rare flying sea ray slowly flying to the front of the field.
That's right!
It's standing, not riding.
Before, when Ryan looked around, his eyes swept over the other party, because the middle-aged man's eyes also stayed behind him for a long time, but at that time, he didn't care much.
Because there are relatively more candidates like this who carry two-handed swords and follow the path of knights in the preliminary test.
Although there are also strong ones among them, their strengths are uneven.
Sometimes, in four or five games in a row, the legendary knight candidates failed to successfully defeat their opponents within three minutes.
But when he heard the other party's name just now, Ryan's eyes suddenly fixed.
Because he immediately remembered the person mentioned by Carl, the disciple of the Tide Sword Saint, who was also called Lambert.
Although there are many people with the same name in the world, Ryan instinctively felt that the Lambert in front of him should be the Lambert that Carl mentioned.
"I didn't expect Lambert to come too." Luther on the side said with a serious face.
"Oh? Luther, do you know him?" Hallowen couldn't help but ask curiously.
"I know him, remember Carl?" Luther asked back.
"Remember, it was the disciple of the Tide Sword Saint who was defeated by Lord Ryan, right?" Harlowen nodded.
"Well, this is the disciple of the Tide Sword Saint, Lambert."
"What! It turned out to be him." Harlowen's face changed and he exclaimed.
Immediately, he looked at Ryan beside him.
Obviously, in Harlowen's view, the appearance of this Lambert was likely to target Ryan.
Ryan, however, had a calm face, nodded, and said, "It seems that my guess was right."
On the field, the opponent that Lambert drew on the turntable was the Shadow Vulture, a ferocious species with the innate ability of the shadow system.
After the turntable was drawn, Lambert still stood upright on the flying sea ray with his hands on his chest, and slowly flew towards the center of the field.
"Chi~"
At this time, the thick metal fence on the side of the field was lifted up, and a huge eagle creature with a black body and black airflow lingering all over its body rushed out with a cry.
It was seen that its wingspan was more than eight meters and its flying speed was extremely fast.
"The Shadow Vulture has a fast flying speed and strong defense and attack power. It's a good opportunity to see the changes in Lambert's strength."
"The last time I saw him was five years ago. Even with my current strength, I am no match for him back then." Luther said in a deep voice.
Luther's words naturally aroused Ryan's interest.
At this time, the Shadow Vulture discovered Lambert in the center of the venue, and immediately shook its wings and rushed towards the disciple of the Tide Sword Saint.
But Lambert still stood on the Flying Sea Manta with his hands folded on his chest and a calm face. He didn't even draw the big sword on his back, as if he didn't care about the Shadow Vulture.
"This is a bit arrogant." Harlowen whispered.
He felt that this Lambert was a bit too pretentious.
Suddenly, there was a change in the venue.
As if it had received an order from its master, the Flying Sea Manta carried Lambert with his hands folded on his chest and rushed towards the attacking Shadow Vulture.
Just when the two were about to collide!
Suddenly, Lambert's right hand pulled out a greatsword from behind like lightning, and slashed forward. In an instant, seven or eight silver arcs of light burst out from the position where the Shadow Vulture was.
There were vertical, horizontal, and lateral arcs of light, but they all flashed away!
The next second, the two barely crossed each other.
At this time, Lambert still kept his hands on his chest. I don't know when the two-handed greatsword had been put back on his back, as if it had never been unsheathed.
As for the Shadow Vulture, it seemed to have been hit by a stiff witchcraft. It spread its wings flat, motionless, and fell diagonally towards the ground.
But before it fell to the ground, a hissing sound came from its body!
Seven or eight blood arrows shot out from all parts of the Shadow Vulture's body at the same time, and the next second, it disintegrated in mid-air with a "crash"!
And the crowd watching also burst into exclamations instantly.
"Hiss~ This is the Tide Eight Segment Slash!"
"The top secret created by the Tide Sword Saint when he was young?"
"Yes, this is Lambert, the eldest disciple of the Tide Sword Saint."
"I heard that he has been practicing hard before, but I didn't expect him to come to participate in the Dragon Knight Reserve Selection this time."
Ryan saw it clearly. At that moment, Lambert slashed a total of eight swords, and the speed of the sword was the fastest he had ever seen.
You know, Lambert used a heavier two-handed sword, not a lighter one-handed sword like a knight's longsword or a half-handed sword.
In one second, he completed a series of actions such as drawing the sword, slashing out eight swords, and putting away the sword. It was really fast!
Moreover, Ryan also keenly noticed one thing.
That is, the moment before the opponent's attack broke out, it seemed that there was a momentum that seemed to affect the Shadow Eagle.
This caused the legendary Shadow Eagle to be stunned for a moment, and almost took Lambert's eight swords without any resistance.
Otherwise, the Shadow Eagle should have more or less avoided the vital points and would not be killed instantly.
"It should be the spiritual will, a considerable part of which has been transformed into a more condensed sword belief."
"The sudden outbreak of this belief power caused the Shadow Eagle to lose consciousness for a while and lose the initiative."
"For this kind of opponent with extremely fast attack speed, losing the initiative means being passive, or even being killed instantly like now!" Ryan thought to himself.
"I am not a match for this kind of strength." Harlowen said with a serious face.
"Stronger than five years ago, if I am not mistaken, the opponent should have reached the half-step sword saint." Luther said in a deep voice.
"Sir Ryan, you have to be careful."
Ryan nodded and looked at Lambert, who had a calm face in the venue.
In fact, after arriving in the imperial capital Tamriel, Lambert wanted to challenge Ryan directly.
However, after listening to the advice of the Drum family, he decided to join the selection of the Dragon Knight Reserve.
After all, under the current situation in the imperial capital, it is unwise to fight a life-and-death duel with an imperial adamantine sword holder.
But in the secret realm, it is different.
Because there are other people and other creatures in the secret realm, once Ryan dies, due to the special nature of the Dragon Valley secret realm, the empire cannot send people to the secret realm for a second investigation.
This matter is likely to be left unresolved.
Therefore, Lambert decided to enter the secret realm before taking action.
At this time, the candidates all focused their attention on Ryan.
Because before Lambert, although many people's killing speed had entered the "10-second club",
Ryan's killing speed was still the fastest, taking only three seconds.
Now Lambert appeared, and the previous attack, even if the time when the Shadow Eagle was dismembered in the air was counted, it was only two seconds.
If we only count the time Lambert used to perform a fatal attack, it was a complete kill!
It took less than a second.
So, everyone would naturally compare Lambert and Ryan.
However, Lambert in the center of the venue did not look at Ryan, as if he didn't notice it, and controlled the flying sea ray to slowly fly back to the crowd.
But because of this, Ryan concluded that there was a high probability that the other party had a problem.
He had learned that this Lambert was good friends with Greenwood and had a close personal relationship with the Durham family. In this case, the other party didn't pay any attention to him.
This is the biggest problem!
In addition, Carl, who was also a disciple of the Tide Sword Saint, reminded him before leaving that day.
It is very likely that the other party did this to avoid suspicion.
As for why he avoided suspicion?
Ryan had already calculated it in his mind.
After Lambert finished, two more people came on stage, and the preliminary test officially ended.
After sorting, the second prince Everton read out the names of the top thirty candidates.
"The following are the candidates who will enter the re-examination."
"Congratulations to everyone who passed the preliminary test! See you at the Astrologer's Platform in the morning three days later!"
Unfortunately, Luther and Harlowen did not make it into the top thirty.
Instead, the three people from the Dragon Scale Brotherhood all entered the re-examination.
After comforting Luther who failed twice, Ryan returned to the mansion.
However, when Ryan just stepped into the mansion, he found that there were several familiar figures in the house.
The first person who caught Ryan's eyes was Jennifer, a beautiful woman in a purple one-shoulder silk dress.
She was holding her mother Emma's hand and chatting eagerly. Standing next to her was a man and a woman, the leader of the Ice Claw Bear Mercenary Group, Fandral, and his sister Georgia.
"Jennifer? When did you arrive in the imperial capital?" Ryan said in surprise, and at the same time, he nodded to Fandral and Georgia.
"Lord Ryan." The tall Fandral and the young and energetic Georgia immediately saluted.
"Just arrived." Seeing Ryan coming back, Jennifer stood up and said with a smile.
Although she didn't say much, the beautiful woman looked at Ryan with her beautiful eyes, some emotions need not be expressed.
Besides, there are people around, and it is impossible to express it.
Ryan nodded and smiled, "Thank you for your hard work."
"Have you told the kitchen? Arrange the dinner well."
"It's all arranged." Mother Emma was happier than Ryan about the arrival of the beautiful woman Jennifer. Before the servants answered, she rushed to speak.
"Okay, mother, then you chat."
After saying that, Ryan smiled and gestured to the Fandral brothers and sisters. The two immediately understood and followed Ryan to the outer courtyard.
The three of them immediately walked in the courtyard and chatted.
"What is the situation in Munster recently?" Ryan asked.
After hearing what Ryan said, Fandral and his sister Georgia looked at each other and said, "As the provincial capital, Munster doesn't have much of a security problem, but the situation in the county towns below is not very good."
"After you left, the cult's activities became more active."
"Also, I heard from Lord Vieri that there were several cases of ancient creatures reviving, and when dealing with them, the sword bearers in the branch suffered heavy casualties."
Fandral thought about it and decided to tell the truth.
Originally, after he arrived in Munster with the Ice Claw Bear Mercenary Group, he thought he could take a break.
After all, the security of the Munster Province is far superior to that of the Marne Province located in the northern border of the empire.
But with the reappearance of the Demon Tail Three-Headed Sea Dragon, the security situation in the Munster Province also took a sharp turn for the worse.
"In addition, in the waters of Meister and Rosby County, the Demon Tail Three-Headed Sea Dragon reappeared, and its strength was even stronger than before. It is said that the empire sent more than one guardian to go there, but still failed to defeat the opponent."
"The Demon Tail Three-Headed Sea Dragon?" Ryan frowned slightly.
He naturally knew about the three-headed sea dragon with a demon tail. It was an epic ancient creature. Last time, it was the Red Queen Menia who went to deal with it.
Unexpectedly, the opponent has come back now, and it is even stronger. It takes multiple imperial guardians to resist!
It seems that the record in the ancient books that the three-headed sea dragon with a demon tail had the strength of a demigod in its heyday should not be groundless.
"Yes." Fandral nodded and said.
As the head of the mercenary group, although he was well-informed, the transfer of the imperial guardians was top secret, and he didn't know which ones they were.
After the sumptuous dinner.
The beautiful woman Jennifer, under the pretext of reporting the business situation of the Chamber of Commerce, finally found an opportunity to get time together.
She went to the study on the second floor with Ryan.
"Click."
When the door was closed, the beautiful woman who drank a lot of aged wine at the dinner stopped, reached back, and directly locked the door.
Then, Jennifer leaned against the wall gently.
Her beautiful face was rosy, as beautiful as a flower, and her eyes seemed to be dripping with water, and she was gazing at Ryan affectionately.
Ryan, who was walking in front of the beautiful woman, was slightly stunned when he heard the door lock, but he immediately understood something, turned around with a smile, and looked at Jennifer.
For Jennifer, she hadn't experienced playing cards for two months, which was naturally a great torment for her age.
Before, Ryan was not around, so she just had to endure it.
But now, there was no need to endure it.
The beautiful woman lifted the hair that fell on her forehead, and her eyes seemed to be able to draw silk. She lowered her eyes slightly shyly, and took the initiative to walk towards Ryan.
The snow-white arms took the initiative to hug Ryan.
The beautiful woman took the initiative to throw herself into his arms, and Ryan naturally wanted to
(10,000 words omitted here)
For the two who had not seen each other for two months, the card game in the study naturally could not be just one game. Moreover, in order to prevent the sound from being transmitted, the beautiful woman bit the small piece of lace cloth tightly.
More than an hour later, the beautiful woman, with a face full of satisfaction and joy, began to lie lazily on the leather sofa and report the recent situation.
"By the way, dear, take a look at that first." Jennifer pointed to the wooden box she placed on the coffee table at the entrance and said.
Hmm?
Ryan was curious, so he walked forward and opened it. There were twelve soul energy crystals inside.
"I used the gold coins you gave me last time, plus the recent profits of the Chamber of Commerce and the auction house, to buy this." The beautiful woman smiled.
"This..." Ryan didn't know what to say for a moment.
Although he has now entered the third-level crystal wizard, the effect of soul energy crystal has been greatly reduced, but Jennifer didn't know.
She is still in Munster, trying her best to help him buy soul energy crystal.
So this is the reason why Jennifer insisted on staying in Munster.
This made Ryan's heart surge with warmth.
