Chapter 552 Hidden Artifact
"You're welcome." Elder Nesa bowed slightly, motioning for Ryan to continue.
"What I want to ask is, do you know about the evil demon?" Ryan looked around and made sure that there were no unreliable people around except Anna and others, so he asked slowly.
"Evil demon?" Elder Nesa's originally smiling and dignified face froze slightly, and her beautiful eyes revealed obvious surprise. After a pause, she restrained her emotions and said, "Your Majesty Ryan, could it be that you have encountered an evil demon?"
Elder Nesa's emotional fluctuations surprised Anna on the side.
You have to know that Elder Nesa, as an existence ranked among the top in strength among the elf elders, has experienced countless storms and waves. At least, it is difficult for ordinary things to move him.
"Yes." Ryan thought about it, and did not choose to hide it, but nodded in agreement.
Then, without waiting for Elder Nesha to continue asking, Ryan continued, "I met it in a ruins of the Federation. It was very difficult."
"Turns out it was in the Federation." Elder Nesha was obviously relieved. "No one has mentioned the matter of the evil demon for a long time. However, with the revival of the energy tide, it is not surprising that the evil demon reappears."
"I have seen relevant records in the classics of my clan. About ten thousand years ago, humans did not have a unified empire at that time. Many kingdoms existed independently, and there were more righteous churches than there are now. They experienced a fierce confrontation with evil gods and evil demons that lasted for decades." "
In the end, it seemed that relying on a certain artifact, the evil demons and evil gods were finally sealed, and it seemed that the use of that artifact caused the energy tide to fall into a trough."
"And some classics of my clan recorded the prophecies of many sages at that time, which meant that in the future, with the reappearance of the energy tide, the gods will revive and the evil demons will reappear."
"Artifact? Prophecy?" Ryan was obviously stunned.
What he intended to learn was actually the relationship between the evil gods and the evil demons, but he didn't expect to hear such a new situation.
"Yes, that's what I know." Elder Nesha nodded and said.
After thinking about it, Ryan decided not to dwell on the artifact or prophecy. After all, what he had to figure out first was whether the relationship between the evil gods and the evil demons was as hostile as shown in the murals.
"Elder Nesha, do you know the relationship between the evil gods and the evil demons?" Ryan asked again.
"This... Perhaps, there are more detailed records in the books of the elves. Perhaps, if His Majesty Ryan is free, he can go to Ferdinand Forest." Elder Nesha shook his head and said.
Ryan nodded, and after a little thought, he decided to go now. Of course, the main reason was that this matter must be determined before exploring the ruins of the floating city again.
"Anna, how about I take you back to Ferdinand Forest? It's just right that I can also look up some information."
"Great, Ryan." Upon hearing this news, Anna's beautiful eyes lit up, and she immediately tightened her grip on Ryan's little hand.
Since they had decided to go, the group quickly arrived at the station square. At this time, Anna seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly pulled Ryan's sleeve, saying mysteriously: "Ryan, I can fly."
"Fly?"
"Yes!"
Anna nodded heavily, then let go of Ryan's white and tender hand, and took two light steps. The next moment, Anna disappeared from the spot, and an eagle with a wingspan of several meters suddenly appeared.
Then, the eagle blinked at Ryan with a pair of sharp and familiar eyes, and flapped its wings, and flew straight into the sky.
"Druid Transfiguration, transform into an eagle?" Ryan couldn't help but look at the eagle hovering above his head in surprise, and said.
Ryan had seen the same transformation into an eagle at Anna's aunt, Ms. Delanna, a long time ago. Unexpectedly, Anna had mastered it now.
It is said that this transformation is very difficult to learn and it is not easy to master.
"Yes, Your Majesty, Anna is very diligent and hardworking in her studies. Coupled with her talent, she has made rapid progress. If she is classified according to the level of human wizards, she is already a wizard in the late stage of the second-level liquefaction."
Elder Nesha on the side looked at Anna in the sky kindly, and explained to Ryan with her head tilted.
Ryan nodded in agreement. Anna's progress was indeed great.
Although the strength classification of the elven druids is not as detailed as that of wizards, basically, every additional transformation ability means a significant improvement in strength.
Generally speaking, those who can master more than three transformations and corresponding combat skills, supplemented by multiple natural witchcraft, can be identified as advanced druids, and later, they will be archdruids.
Soon, the eagle in the sky swooped down, and came a few meters in front of Ryan, and quickly transformed into a beautiful elf girl.
"Amazing! Anna, I didn't expect you to master the transformation into an eagle. I remember the last time I saw it, it was still on Ms. Delanna." Ryan stepped forward and took the girl's hand with a smile, praising her.
"Well, although I'm still not as good as you, I will try my best." Hearing Ryan's praise, Anna's heart was as sweet as eating honey, and she smiled shyly.
"By the way, where is Ms. Delanna?" Ryan suddenly remembered and said.
Logically, Delanna should be with her sister Darien Eagle Moon, but Ryan didn't see her.
"Aunt Delanna is in charge of the return of the others. She said that later, she will come to thank you in person." Anna whispered.
"I see, tell Ms. Delanna for me, she is too polite, this is what I should do."
"Well, Ryan, I heard from Ms. Olena that you have contracted a dragon?" Anna couldn't help but ask curiously.
Olena had told her about this incident on the airship, but she looked left and right and could not see the dragon.
"Yes, there it is." Ryan smiled and raised his head to indicate.
Anna followed Ryan's line of sight and saw a dark cloud appear in the sky in the distance and approached this side rapidly.
As the 'Wings of Madness' Metes approached, the beautiful eyes of Anna, Lady Dareen, and Elder Nessa began to widen slightly, and Anna's mouth opened slightly in shock.
"Hiss~ So big!" Anna stared at the huge body of Metes in the process of landing with her beautiful eyes, and said in disbelief, "Lerain, how come your dragon is so big?"
"Your Majesty, if I'm not mistaken, your dragon partner seems to be a black dragon at the level of an extremely old dragon?" Elder Nesha, who had come to his senses, answered Anna's question for Ryan.
"Elder Nesha, you have a keen eye, it is indeed so." Ryan smiled and nodded.
"Anna, so this time you don't need to transform into an eagle to hurry on the road, come on, my lady." Ryan smiled and gave Anna a gentleman's salute, and took Anna's fair little hand.
"Ah, Coco, I heard that in addition to the dragon rider himself, even if it is the dragon rider's relatives, some dragons will refuse to be ridden by the other party." Anna was a little at a loss, covering her mouth with her other hand, half surprised and half hesitant.
"Well, that is the dragon of other dragon riders, but Metes will not." Ryan patted the back of Anna's hand and said.
Just kidding, his relationship with Metes was contracted by the system, so naturally there is no such problem.
Sure enough, as soon as Ryan finished speaking, the giant dragon that looked like a black hill slowly lowered its majestic body, as if to make it easier for Anna to get on its back, which made Anna even more surprised.
Seeing that the black dragon at the level of an extremely old dragon actually listened to Ryan's words so much, Elder Nesha sighed.
She had dealt with the dragon knights of the Dragun Empire more than once or twice. Even the dragon knights who had been contracted for many years, their dragon partners might not be as obedient as the black dragon in front of them.
What's more, the strength of the black dragon in front of them was extremely powerful.
Soon, the black dragon Metheus carried Ryan and Anna and soared into the sky.
Elder Nesha and Anna's mother, Darien Hawkmoon, looked at each other and laughed.
"Although His Majesty Ryan is powerful, he is still just a big boy with a kind heart."
"Look, how happy they are together."
"Now, you can rest assured, Daleon." Elder Nesa said to Daleon Hawkmoon beside her. As the other party's former teacher, she naturally understood her own disciple.
"Well, I am relieved. His Majesty Ryan is very good and treats Anna very well." Daleon nodded.
In addition to expressing her gratitude to Ryan, another main purpose of her trip this time was to see how Ryan and Anna were getting along.
Although Ryan saved her, if he could not bring happiness to Anna, she would not agree to the two of them being together, because she had quite painful experiences and memories.
But now seeing the state of the two of them together with her own eyes, Daleon knew that this was a kind of love and joy from the heart, and this expression was difficult to fake.
Even if it was faked, it would be almost impossible to deceive her and her teacher Elder Nesa.
Next, accompanied by Olena, the two boarded the sword-bearing airship and also headed towards Ferdinand Forest.
With his dragon companion Metes, it only took Ryan more than three hours to get from the Cyrodiil Plateau to Ferdinand Forest.
Although Ryan's arrival was a bit abrupt, he was still warmly welcomed by the elves' high-level leaders headed by Elder Auburn.
After declining the lengthy and warm welcome ceremony, Ryan explained his purpose and was soon invited to the library of the elves.
Even in the library of the elves, there are not many ancient books with records of evil spirits. After all, what happened was a long time ago. Apart from the books that only mentioned a few words, there are only four or five books with larger paragraphs.
Ryan only spent a few hours to read through it roughly, and he also had a deeper understanding of the evil spirits.
Basically, he can confirm two points.
First, in the Middle Ages, many races led by the gods had a tragic and long-lasting war with the evil gods, behemoths and evil spirits.
Although they won in the end, they suffered heavy casualties, including the surviving branch of the elves, which also migrated to Ferdinand Forest from that time.
Almost all the human gods died, and one of the surviving gods was the goddess of monsoon and ocean, and it was this goddess who controlled the unknown artifact.
Second, the relationship between the evil demons and the evil gods was indeed as recorded in the murals. They were not in the same group, and there were also fights between them.
And the second point was exactly what Ryan focused on this time.
"It seems that my plan to be promoted in the ruins of the floating city has a better chance." Ryan saw this and his mind moved slightly.
"As for the artifact, it is not something I should consider now. Perhaps, after being promoted to a demigod, I can search for relevant clues." After
getting the information he wanted, Ryan, in a good mood, naturally seized the limited time and spent more time with Anna.
However, seeing Anna in a corner of the garden, who was skillfully performing the transformation into an eagle and a giant bear, Ryan suddenly thought of something and smiled slightly.
Not long after.
Ryan came to Anna with a set of leather suits called "Eagle Feathers".
This is completely different from the previous Thornwood Coat and Moonlight Coat. It is a witch-level leather armor with special effects.
It is divided into three sets, shoulder armor, chest armor and leg armor. The main raw materials required are two wind-breaking owl feathers, one eagle feather and eight mature furs.
The high-standing wind-breaking owl feathers on its shoulder armor are its distinctive features. The effect is to strengthen the effect of transformation into an eagle, including a certain degree of enhancement in body size and endurance.
Therefore, it is only suitable for high-level druids who have mastered the eagle transformation. For ordinary druids, it is a burden.
If Ryan failed to change his job to elf leatherworking, he might not be able to make it even if he wanted to. If Ryan did not have the core skill "Elemental Leatherworking", the effect of the "Eagle Feathers" he made might not be so good.
Of course, the three-piece "Eagle Feathers" is naturally the most suitable for Anna at present.
"Wow! Ryan. This is the 'Eagle Feather' suit. It's so beautiful. Is it for me?" Anna was pleasantly surprised.
Although Anna's current status in the elves means that even if Ryan doesn't make this 'Eagle Feather' for her, it's not difficult to get it if she wants it, but what the girl wants in her heart is naturally to wear the one made by her lover.
However, Anna also knows that with Ryan's current status, he is usually very busy, and she naturally never thought of making this small request.
So, seeing the unexpected surprise, Anna was naturally moved.
"Of course, if you like it, try it on."
"Yes!" Anna nodded heavily.
A few minutes later, Anna, wearing the 'Eagle Feather' suit, with a unique druid temperament, walked to Ryan.
"Very beautiful"
Before he finished speaking, Ryan felt a warm feeling blocking his mouth, and in his arms, there was an elf girl with a blushing face but rarely taking the initiative.
(10,000 words omitted here)
At this time, the sword-bearing high-speed airship where Olena was, just arrived at Ferdinand Forest.
"Wait, Darien, don't go find Anna yet." Darien, who had just gotten off the airship and was about to go to the garden to find Anna, was stopped by Elder Naiser.
"Huh? Why?" Darien looked puzzled.
"Young people are doing something they like, so we should not disturb them." Elder Naiser said with a smile.
Darien Eagle Moon was stunned at first, then he understood something, blushed, and said, "It's in the garden."
The next morning.
Ryan and Anna said goodbye, stepped on the back of the black dragon Metheus, and flew towards the northern sky.
At this time, Ryan seemed to have thought of something, and took out the secret letter from the palace that Olena had given him before from his arms and read it.
This is a map of the Caswes Province. In the lower middle part, a red dot is marked, which is the possible location of the steel dragon that Menia told me.
"Huh? This location is not far from the Beverly Mountains."
Ryan just thought of the Queen of the Wind Peng, Trist, the 'Lightning Walker'. He suffered a lot from her at that time. If it weren't for the help of the Imperial Guardian Walker, he would have been in trouble.
"However, my strength is enough now, but the other party is called the 'Lightning Walker', and his speed is extremely fast. Even if I can't beat me, I will definitely have no problem escaping."
"Moreover, according to intelligence, the other party is very honest at present, and has not taken any action while His Majesty Walker is away."
"Half a year has passed, and this month is not a big deal. Wait until I am promoted to a full moon wizard." Ryan thought for a while, and couldn't help but smiled helplessly and shook his head.
"Now, let's go to the location of the steel dragon first."
