Chapter 566: The Key to the Node
Faced with so many evil demon tentacles, Lagre had no
choice but to quickly change direction and dodge. She raised the giant shield above her head, kicked her long wheat-colored legs hard, and suddenly jumped high. Not only did she move sideways 90 degrees, but she also jumped directly onto the roof of the house next to her.
Then, Lagre continued to carry Jennifer on her back and quickly rushed towards the third ring along the uneven roofs.
Don't think that the roof will be safer.
On the contrary, since the first to rush to deal with the evil demon incident were the Imperial Capital Griffin Knights, and many high-ranking nobles in the inner ring kept birds or flying mounts, there were a large number of birds infected by evil spirits in the sky at this moment.
After these birds were infected, not only did their size suddenly increase, but their attack power and flight speed also increased significantly.
Although these infected birds are fighting with the Imperial Guardians, as long as a small number of infected griffins swoop down, they can pose a great threat to Lagre. This is why Lagre has not chosen to travel on the roof.
"Swish!"
A black shadow quickly passed by in the sky!
"Bang!"
Lagre's tightly grasped giant shield suddenly sank, and her footsteps staggered, almost falling off the roof.
Obviously, something just attacked her.
Before she could adjust her center of gravity, the next second, a strong gust of wind came from the right rear side of her body again. Lagre's beautiful eyes glared, and she thought to herself, "Oh no", and immediately moved the giant shield horizontally to block it. "Bang", this time, she was carrying Jennifer on her back and was hit hard from the roof.
The attacker was a griffin knight infected by the evil demon.
While falling, Lagre noticed that two seven or eight meter long waving evil demon tentacles suddenly emerged from the ground below the street.
This made Lagre's heart fall into the abyss again!
Reserlo Canyon.
When Ryan appeared again, he had already arrived above the canyon.
Then, after several shuttles, he arrived at Zetaia, one of the major cities in the Federation.
At this time, Ryan could already see the vast Summer Sea to the west, and across the sea was the Dragun Empire, but at this time, his mental power was almost at its bottom.
It's not that the Full Moon Wizard is not strong enough. If it were before he was promoted, Ryan would not be able to achieve the current level.
Even if it was just one-fifth of the distance, it would be impossible to do it.
Ryan in mid-air looked at the boundless blue sea, as if sensing the direction.
The next moment, he added a little to his mental power, exhaled deeply, and his figure disappeared again!
In the sky not far away, the lookout on a patrolling federal airship took down and raised the copper telescope with a puzzled look on his face. After checking it repeatedly several times, he muttered:
"It's really strange. Could it be that I stayed up too late with Lilith yesterday and had hallucinations?"
"But I just saw a person standing in the air."
The lookout thought for a few seconds, shook his head, and said, "Forget it, let's not report to the captain. It must be an illusion."
Imperial Capital Tamriel.
It seemed that Lagre was about to be hit by two evil demon tentacles on the street below.
In a flash!
Suddenly!
"Chi!"
A silver sword light flashed, and the two evil demon tentacles below were suddenly cut off and turned into two balls of black smoke.
"Miss Lagre, it's me, Lambert."
At this time, a muscular man holding a big sword appeared on the street below.
Before he finished speaking, another cold light flashed!
"Chi!"
The evil griffin knight who was being chased by Lagre was also directly split into two, and the two neat halves of the body fell heavily on both sides of the street.
"Thank you, Lord Lambert!"
Lagre nodded heavily. She knew Lambert, the new sword master of the empire and one of Ryan's friends.
Since she was carrying Jennifer on her back, she didn't act pretentiously and immediately rushed to the periphery.
Lambert looked at the sky with a solemn face.
Unlike Luther and Harlowen, he had been practicing with his mentor, Sword Master Leon, in the Tidal Bay of the Rhine Province, and was considered alone in the imperial capital.
After the incident, there was no need to arrange for the retreat of personnel in order to have the spare energy to find Lagre's figure at the first time.
"Shua shua!"
At this time, seven or eight infected griffins suddenly swooped down from the sky.
If Ryan was present, he would be able to remind him at the first time that the evil demon clones and even the infected objects had a certain degree of mutual induction because of the evil spirit.
Therefore, when Lambert quickly killed several infected objects, he naturally attracted the attention of the nearby evil spirit clones.
"Sword Shadow Clone Slash!"
In an instant, Lambert moved at super high speed, and seven or eight figures suddenly appeared on the scene, swinging and slashing the swords in their hands at various angles!
"Chi! Chi! Chi!"
Suddenly, a foul-smelling blood rain and a large number of griffin bodies that were cut into dozens of pieces sprinkled in the sky.
Lagre looked back and saw this scene. She couldn't help but admire Lambert's strength, and at the same time, she was greatly relieved.
But the next second, the ground under her feet suddenly shook.
"Crack!"
A crack that stretched for dozens of meters suddenly appeared from the stone-covered street, and a giant black tentacle rose from the ground like lightning, and instantly knocked Lambert away.
Although Lambert blocked with his sword, he was still blasted into the wall of the house next to him like a cannonball. With a loud bang, the two-story noble mansion collapsed.
And Lagre's pretty face suddenly lost its color!
She thought that she and Jennifer had finally escaped from the tiger's mouth with the help of the new sword saint Lambert. At this moment, she was already on the edge of the black and gray evil spirit, and she could leave in less than 200 meters.
But unexpectedly, the situation is now rapidly deteriorating!
The evil spirit of the giant black tentacle is so strong that even though she is dozens of meters away, Lagre knows that it is far beyond her ability to resist.
So, she can only do her best to escape!
"Don't worry about me." Jennifer's weak voice came to her ears.
But at this moment, Lagre no longer has the energy to answer or comfort Jennifer. She only saw her clenched her teeth and rushed to the right.
But the giant evil demon tentacle is faster.
"Bang!!"
A long whip-like black shadow flashed, and the giant shield shattered!
And she and Jennifer were also blown into the air by the huge force.
At the same time.
Federal Parliament Building.
The discussion on the ownership of the floating city is still in full swing.
"Everyone, I think we should be tougher. Although this young Lord Ryan is very powerful, he is only one person. As for the great significance of the floating city, I think I don't need to say more."
"Sometimes, some iron-fisted measures are still needed." An old man in the uniform of the federal marshal said in a resounding voice.
"That makes sense."
"Indeed."
As the chief of the federal military, the old man's words were naturally agreed by many hawkish congressmen.
At this time, the male attendant broke into the meeting room again, and walked quickly to Lawson's side. While handing over a note, he quickly whispered:
"Sir, this is the second urgent message from the swordmaster Tirion."
This move once again broke the atmosphere of discussion in the meeting room. All the congressmen once again focused their eyes on the main seat, and they were curious about what important matter this time?
After Speaker Lawson took it, he glanced at it casually, but the next second, his face suddenly changed.
"Pop!"
He couldn't even hold the expensive pipe in his mouth, and it fell to the ground and broke into pieces!
"Iron Throne! Full Moon Wizard!" Lawson muttered.
For a moment, everyone in the meeting room was in an uproar!
Although some people may have ambiguity about the word "throne", the words "Full Moon Wizard" at the end are deafening!
"Iron Throne?"
"If I heard it correctly, this means that His Majesty Rain has been promoted?"
"You heard it right. In ancient times, the title of Iron Throne was indeed only honored after being promoted to Full Moon Wizard."
The second message from Sword Saint Tirion only had one sentence: "His Majesty Rain of the Empire has been promoted to Lord of the Iron Throne, and is also the first newly promoted Full Moon Wizard in a thousand years."
"Well, Councillor Trena, I may need to trouble you this time to go to the ruins of the floating city immediately." Speaker Lawson said to the beautiful Councillor Trena with a pleasant face.
"Ah? OK." Trena, who was also shocked by the news that Ryan was promoted to Full Moon Wizard, nodded quickly.
However, the thought of her taking the initiative to visit
the beautiful congresswoman made her face more rosy, and she felt shy and excited, and at the same time, a little worried.
"Full Moon Wizard, comparable to demigod. Such an existence, is he still interested in women?"
At this time, the chief of the military could not help but cough, covering up his embarrassment, and said: "Yes, Congresswoman Trena, Ryan, no, Lord Iron Throne, you still need to communicate well and try to maintain a good relationship."
"If Lord Iron Throne can join the Federation, it would be the best. Even if not, I hope Lord Iron Throne can reach in-depth cooperation with the Federation, including but not limited to repairing the floating city."
"Yes! Yes! This is not only related to the millions of ordinary people in the Federation." The hawkish congressmen also echoed.
Imperial Capital Tamriel.
Just when La Grey was in despair!
Suddenly, a huge fiery red figure caught her and Jennifer, and a mature and noble female voice sounded in her ears.
"Don't be afraid, you are safe."
This voice was familiar to Lagre.
Lagre looked up and saw that she and Jennifer were on the back of a huge red dragon, and there was a beautiful woman with noble temperament beside them.
"Your Highness Memenia!"
It was the first time that Lagre observed the actual ruler of the empire today, the 'Red Queen' Memenia, so closely.
"Well, your name is Lagre, right?"
"This is Jennifer?"
"Ryan told me about you." Memenia smiled.
"Did Ryan mention you?" This made Lagre's restraint much less.
"No! This is..."
Suddenly, Memenia's pretty face smiled!
Lagre was also stunned, and immediately followed Memenia's gaze, only to see Jennifer's white and slender calves behind her, and several strands of evil spirits had already swirled up under the skin like earthworms, and quickly invaded.
Obviously, the close contact with the giant evil demon's tentacles just now caused Jennifer, an ordinary person, to be infected by the high concentration of evil spirit.
"Your Majesty Strahz, please land as soon as possible." Menia said in a deep voice.
At this time, Ryan had already appeared in the sky above the vast summer sea. He added points again and disappeared again.
After adding points seven times in a row.
Ryan's figure appeared above the imperial capital Tamriel.
Looking at the dark evil spirit field that had formed covering most of the imperial capital, Ryan's heart shuddered.
Due to the induction between him and the greyhound war dog Cookie and the blood-feathered horned beast, Ryan disappeared again and appeared next to his sister Mint in the next moment.
"Brother?!"
Looking at Ryan who suddenly appeared beside him, Mint, riding on the back of the greyhound war dog, suddenly widened his eyes and shouted excitedly.
"Mint, I'm glad you're okay!" Ryan rubbed Mint's hair and comforted her.
At the same time, he also saw the blood feather in the air, as well as Claire, mother Emma and his father riding above, but he did not see Lagre and Jennifer.
Before Ryan asked, Mint suddenly thought of something and said, "By the way, brother, you have to find Sister Lagre as soon as possible."
"She went to find Aunt Jennifer, I'm worried."
"Well, don't worry, they will be fine."
As the surging mental power radiated, a wave like an ultra-high-power radar quickly covered most of the imperial capital. The next moment, Ryan disappeared again and came to a temporary military camp.
And he also saw the familiar and graceful figure who was being treated at the first time.
In the center of the temporary military camp.
"Your Highness Menia, you have been infected by the power of the evil demon and cannot be cured. You can only suppress it by doing this."
"Your Highness Menia, please accept my condolences!"
"Your Highness Menia, be careful of the evil spirit pollution."
Even if it is an epic-level strongman, if he comes into direct contact with the evil spirit, he will be easily infected.
"Yes, Your Highness Menia, you are now responsible for the safety of the empire, so you should focus on it."
Many people persuaded the 'Red Queen' Menia, who was performing some kind of fire secret technique on Jennifer.
"Your Highness Ryan!"
"Your Highness Ryan, why are you back?!"
Seeing Ryan's sudden appearance, everyone present was surprised.
Since the last battle in the imperial capital, Ryan has been recognized as one of the strongest warriors in the Dragun Empire.
"Ryan, I'm sorry, I didn't protect Jennifer!" Under great pressure, Lagre, who felt guilty and self-blaming, threw herself into Ryan's arms.
"No, you have done a good job." Ryan patted Lagre's back and comforted her.
"Ryan, I... I still found it a little late." Menia was happy when she saw Ryan, and then her face darkened, and she slowly stood up and said.
Ryan nodded and quickly came to Jennifer, who was infected by the power of the evil demon.
"Lei Ryan, it's great to see you before you leave."
Jennifer's face was pale at this moment. Her fair face was surrounded by a large mass of black air. If it weren't for some kind of fire secret technique released by Menia, which was fighting fiercely with the evil spirit, Jennifer would have died long ago
. "Don't worry, you will be fine." Ryan grabbed Jennifer's black and wrinkled palm and said.
Ryan's words made the surrounding imperial strongmen look at each other in bewilderment!
Because they didn't know whether what Ryan said was a comfort or could he really do it?
Although they instinctively felt that this was impossible, the one who spoke was His Majesty Ryan, the youngest guardian in the history of the empire who had repeatedly created miracles, so for a moment, there was silence in the camp.
At this time, Ryan slowly raised his hand, and a nearly meter-long, colorfully glowing secondary key of the Key of Time appeared out of thin air in front of everyone.
Then, Ryan gently held it, and the next moment, he began to inject mental power.
As Ryan injected mental power, small crystal clear gravel began to appear at the bottom of the ring of the secondary key.
At this time, several colorful and graceful crystal mists, like morning mist and cooking smoke, quickly precipitated from the Key of Time and penetrated into Jennifer's delicate body.
A scene that shocked everyone at the scene appeared!
Jennifer's evil spirit was seen retreating rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, from the head to the chest, thighs, and even to the calves, and finally disappeared completely.
Jennifer's face, which had been black, had become fair and rosy again, and her body had returned to its plump and graceful shape.
"How is this possible!"
"Then His Majesty Ryan can save everyone?"
"No, take a closer look at His Majesty Ryan." Lambert said in a deep voice. As a sword saint, he had a keen sense and had just noticed the subtle changes in Ryan.
Hmm?
Many imperial guardians present looked at Ryan's face. The next second, they were shocked and immediately understood why Lambert said that.
Ryan's young face showed a sense of vicissitudes. Although his hair did not turn white, he seemed to have changed from his early twenties to more than thirties.
Of course, he was still the youngest person on the scene, but he had lost that youthful feeling!
Those present were all knowledgeable people, and they immediately understood that it seemed that the price of performing this almost miraculous spell was the life of the caster!
In other words, it was still impossible to save the people of the imperial capital. First ,
no one would be willing to sacrifice their own life to save a stranger.
Secondly, with so many people, His Holiness Ryan could not save them even if he was willing to sacrifice himself.
Even though His Holiness Ryan was the youngest guardian of the empire, he would die after saving dozens or at most hundreds of people.
"Now I remember, isn't this the artifact node key held by the goddess in the underground murals of Cologne Cathedral?" An old man dressed in a water-blue robe and dressed as an archbishop exclaimed, pointing at the Key of Time's deputy key in Ryan's hand.
The old man's name was Mills, and he was one of the few senior clergy who escaped from the upheaval in Cologne Cathedral.
"The goddess's artifact?"
"Node key?"
For a moment, everyone looked at Archbishop Mills, and then at the Key of Time's deputy key in Ryan's hand.
