Chapter 567 The Queen's Knight
"Are you sure? Archbishop Mills?" Ryan turned around and asked in surprise.
Although he had heard of the ancient story of the goddess holding a divine weapon and defeating the evil spirit, the problem was that he had never thought that the divine weapon used by the other party was actually the secondary key of the Key of Time.
Moreover, if this is the case, it is naturally a good thing.
The content left by the goblin princess Amora mentioned that if two secondary keys of the Key of Time can be collected, the location of the real artifact, the Key of Time, can be found in a certain way.
"Sure, I can be sure of this!" Archbishop Mills recalled again and said in a deep voice.
"Then where is this artifact now? Is it in the Cologne Cathedral?" Ryan continued to ask.
"Isn't the one in your hand..." Hearing Ryan's question, Archbishop Mills looked at Ryan with a strange look and asked carefully.
Obviously, he took it for granted that the one in Ryan's hand was the artifact that the goddess had used.
After all, His Majesty Ryan, who is so powerful, is likely to find this long-lost artifact in some temple ruins.
"No, mine comes from the ancient goblin floating city, and its origin is far earlier than the history of the goddess and the church." Ryan immediately realized that the other party had misunderstood, shook his head and said.
"Ah?"
This answer was obviously beyond everyone's expectations.
"There are actually two identical artifacts?" Archbishop Mills' eyes widened, with a look of astonishment.
Ryan opened his mouth and wanted to say that there were more than two copies of this key, but after thinking about it, he didn't say it out loud.
After all, he himself didn't quite understand the matter of the key, and it would be difficult to predict the pros and cons if he said it now.
"Has the church never tried to find it?" Ryan said.
"Of course we have tried to find it, and we have found a lot of clues, but this is not the area I am in charge of." Mills replied after coming back to his senses.
"Where are the specific information?"
"I'm afraid the specific information is gone now. Originally, the information was stored in the underground top-secret data room of Cologne Cathedral. The information about the artifact clues was placed in a silver iron box."
Archbishop Mills looked at the spire building in the distance where the evil spirit was the most concentrated, and said disappointedly.
"Oh?" Ryan looked at Cologne Cathedral, his eyes flickering.
He was evaluating.
The strength of the evil demons in the imperial capital Tamriel this time is stronger than the evil demons in the floating city ruins.
This is why, although the imperial capital Tamriel has no less than two-digit imperial guardians, it is still retreating step by step. On the one hand, there is the special pollution of the evil demons.
On the other hand, the fighting power of the evil demons here is so strong that once the seal is broken, they have the strength of nearly the late demigod, and they are still improving rapidly.
However, his strength at this moment is also much stronger than when he first entered the floating city.
Should I rush in to find it now, or wait for a while?
After a little thought, Ryan decided to do it immediately.
Otherwise, when the demon's combat power is further improved, the opportunity will be missed.
At least, he currently has the special ability of "shadow shuttle", so safety should not be a big problem.
"I'll be back soon."
After saying that, Ryan's figure disappeared on the spot.
Leaving behind a group of imperial strongmen looking at each other in bewilderment.
"Your Majesty Ryan, are you going in?" Archbishop Mills couldn't help but stare in astonishment.
"It should be." Sword Saint Lambert nodded. He was relatively familiar with Ryan and knew that this was Ryan's style of doing things.
"Too reckless."
"Yes!"
Lagre and Jennifer looked at each other, and they saw each other's worry in their eyes.
But the Red Queen Menia's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, as if she had some guesses.
Suddenly, at this time, a female attendant officer trotted over and said to Menia respectfully: "Your Majesty Menia, urgent news from the Federation."
"Read!" Menia said without turning her head.
Now her heart is on Ryan. At this moment, her beautiful eyes are still looking at the Cologne Cathedral, which is full of evil spirits. Naturally, she doesn't care about the polite diplomatic words.
"The Federation has learned that the Empire has been attacked by evil spirits, and has immediately arranged two cargo airship fleets to transport a large amount of supplies."
Hmm?
Hearing this, Menia's beautiful eyes couldn't help but blink, and turned to look at the female attendant who was reporting with a little surprise.
"Did they really say that?"
"Yes, Your Highness Menia." The female attendant nodded seriously and said, "They also said that they hope to start the restoration of the floating city together, and they are willing to provide technical and resource support."
"Hmm? When did the Federation become so easy to talk to?"
"Usually at this time, it's good not to add insult to injury!"
Other powerful people in the empire also looked surprised.
"No other requests?" Elder Ivan on the side couldn't help but ask.
"Well, if there is a request, it seems that there is only one, I hope that Lord Ryan, the Iron Throne, can become the main person in charge of the restoration of the floating city in the empire"
"Wait! Iron Throne?" Elder Ivan said with a puzzled look.
"If I remember correctly, the title of Throne seems to be only a respectful title for the Full Moon Wizard, right?" Reginald, who was standing by, also thought of the "grammatical error" in this sentence and asked in confusion.
Elder Ivan nodded and said, "I have the same doubt. Logically, such low-level language errors should not appear in the official diplomatic rhetoric of the Federation."
"Elder Ivan, but what if this is not a mistake?" At this time, the "Red Queen" Menia said thoughtfully.
"How is this possible! No, so His Majesty Ryan has been promoted to a full moon wizard?" Elder Ivan's eyes suddenly widened and he exclaimed.
"I see."
Reginald suddenly looked up at Ryan's disappearing figure, and suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Ryan was so confident.
You know, His Majesty Carlos II also failed in the end.
I didn't expect Ryan to complete the promotion so quietly.
Only by being promoted to a full moon wizard will you not be afraid of the powerful evil demons.
Full moon wizard? ! Demigod? !
Lagre gently pinched the beautiful woman Jennifer who had just recovered and was still a little weak, smiled, and said: "It seems that the two of us have been worried for nothing."
——
Ryan's figure appeared again, already at the entrance of the magnificent Cologne Cathedral.
"Within the range covered by the evil spirit, even shadows are affected, but fortunately, the concentration of the evil spirit is not high, so the impact is not severe."
The appearance of Ryan, the uninvited guest, was immediately discovered by the temple guards who were infected by the surrounding evil spirit. The completely deformed temple guards rushed towards Ryan quickly.
Even faster than the temple guards were the dense black and gray tentacles growing on the ground around them.
"Swish! Swish! Swish!"
Several black and gray tentacles, seven or eight meters long, were drawn towards Ryan like lightning.
Ryan naturally didn't care about these attacks.
He flashed and disappeared again, and went directly into the interior of the Cologne Cathedral, where the evil spirit was even more concentrated.
"This is it."
Ryan, who had already locked the shuttle position with his mental power in advance, came to the top-secret data room in the basement in one step.
Due to the breaking of the seal by the evil demon, all the surrounding imprisonment witch formations were invalidated, which in turn made it easier for Ryan to shuttle directly, saving a lot of time.
The secret data room in front of him was already in a mess. I don't know if someone had rushed to transport the data when the incident happened, or if it was caused by the overflow of attacks during the battle with the evil demon.
At this moment, in the top-secret data room, various precious old parchments, ancient books and stacks of papers were scattered on the cracked ground, collapsed bookshelves and damaged tables and chairs.
"Damaged?"
"Or transported away?"
Ryan looked around and did not find the so-called silver box.
After thinking about it, Ryan tried to use his mental power to carefully check the surroundings.
"Chi!"
At this time, a sharp black tentacle suddenly stretched out from the wall that exuded a graceful black and gray evil spirit and attacked Ryan.
"Were we discovered so quickly?"
"Bang!"
A metal kite-shaped shield suddenly appeared in front of Ryan, blocking the sharp black tentacles that were attacking.
But this resistance was like lighting a candle in the dark, pointing the direction of the enemy's attack.
In an instant, dense and sharp black tentacles attacked Ryan from the walls on all sides like a downpour.
At the same time,
a spherical dark silver metal vortex surrounded Ryan's body, blocking all these attacks.
"Found it."
In an instant, Ryan's face was happy, and the whole person disappeared on the spot.
His figure appeared in the corridor on the upper floor, and the silver metal box and several other boxes were scattered randomly in the corridor. Judging
from the scene in front of him, the Goddess Church should have organized special personnel to move these top-secret materials, but the evil demons broke out too quickly, causing chaos behind, and all kinds of materials and stored materials were also abandoned here.
Ryan immediately stepped forward, picked up the box, and prepared to leave.
At this time, the black and gray tentacles composed of evil spirits, like a thorn in the flesh, entangled with the walls and the ground from all directions.
"It's really disgusting."
"In this case, it's impolite not to return the favor." Ryan's eyes were stern, and the next moment, he appeared in the air outside the Cologne Cathedral.
A thin metal wire connected the silver box, making the silver box float in the air like nothing.
Ryan first took out the last piece of bloody godhead fragment from his arms and crushed it. In just a few seconds, his mental fission value soared from 37% to 49%.
After feeling the increasingly powerful mental power, Ryan narrowed his eyes, looked down, and began to recite the spell silently. Then, he raised his hand and swung it down!
A high-frequency oscillating, dark silver electric saw-like energy beam that was more than a hundred meters long instantly extended from his right hand, and chopped straight down towards the center of the twin towers of the Cologne Cathedral, and went straight into the ground!
This move was exactly the metal-based full moon killer move that Ryan had just mastered, the 'High Frequency Blade!'
"Chi!!!"
The sound of the cut was not loud, but it penetrated very deep into the ground.
"Roar!!!"
Instantly, a furious roar suddenly sounded from below!
The roar almost resounded throughout the imperial capital of Tamriel. At the same time, a large number of black tentacles turned into black smoke.
Whether it was the fleeing people or the soldiers who were resisting, they all turned their heads to look. Even the people in the camp thousands of meters away heard this inhuman roar that contained anger and unwillingness.
If you look down from the sky above the imperial capital, you can find that the hemispherical dark gray evil spirit that was originally expanding and expanding with Cologne Cathedral as the center suddenly began to shrink. It shrunk from a diameter of several kilometers to nearly half before it stopped.
And dozens of black tentacles as thick as buckets were frantically counterattacking above Cologne Cathedral.
But at this time, Ryan had already disappeared.
This strange scene naturally surprised the imperial strongmen in the camp!
The demon shrank the extension range of the domain, obviously feeling threatened, and the one who attacked must be the newly promoted Full Moon Wizard, the Throne of Rain, in front of the Cologne Cathedral.
At this time, Rain, carrying a silver box, suddenly appeared in the camp again.
"Archbishop Mills, is this it?" Rain gestured to the box in his hand and said.
"Yes, yes, Your Majesty, Rain, no, Lord Iron Throne, have you got it?!" Archbishop Mills, with a slightly nervous expression, bowed and saluted.
It was less than half a minute, and he didn't expect that the person in front of him would calmly enter the Cologne Cathedral, which was comparable to a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, and find the things and bring them out.
Archbishop Mills knew it very well. He had escaped from the Cologne Cathedral and experienced many life-and-death tests.
"Huh?" Rain was slightly surprised.
He remembered that only Hiram and a few others knew the title of Iron Throne. How did it spread here?
"Has there been news from the Federation?"
"Yes, Ryan, congratulations, the first full moon wizard in a thousand years." Menia stepped forward and smiled.
She had felt before that Ryan's strength seemed to have improved again, but she was not sure.
Now that she was finally sure, the pressure in her heart was relieved.
The imperial capital was almost completely destroyed after this battle. The Dragun Empire, which has a history of more than 2,000 years, was crumbling, and the people of the empire were like displaced and hungry chicks when winter came.
All of this turned into a huge pressure that could suffocate ordinary people.
Even if she was known as the "Red Queen", she was smart and capable, even if she was an old epic powerhouse, even if she was the aunt of the late Emperor Carlos II of the Empire, she could not bear it.
Ryan looked into Menia's eyes, and seemed to sense the pressure on the other party.
He took the initiative to come to Menia, took her hand, bowed and kissed her hand, and said:
"Thank you, Your Highness Menia, here, I hope to be your guardian knight, okay?"
Menia was surprised at first, but when she saw Ryan's bright and encouraging eyes, she immediately understood what was going on, and nodded immediately, saying:
"Of course, Lord Ryan of the Iron Throne, it is also my honor."
The powerful empires around them suddenly realized that the relationship between the two seemed to be much closer than they thought.
However, is this important now?
It doesn't matter.
What's important is that the shaky empire has a pillar and backbone again.
Suddenly, there was thunderous applause!
A few minutes later.
Everyone sat around the long table in the tent of the camp and held the first emergency meeting after the sudden change of the evil demons.
"Your Highness Menia, urgent news from all provinces. A large-scale blood sacrifice by the limb-removing cult occurred in Marne Province; several black-robed plague messengers from the Plague Cult appeared in Moselle Province, spreading the plague and doctrine; a strong man from the Black Flame Church appeared in Caswith Province, and the local Ravak County was captured. Nome Province Savoy Province"
The pretty face of the female attendant was solemn, and she quickly reported the urgent news she had just received.
The more the imperial strongman listened
, the more solemn his face became. Whether it was a senior guardian like Elder Ivan or a newly promoted sword master like Lambert, they all understood that the Dragun Empire had reached a critical moment of survival.
The sudden demon incident in Cologne Cathedral completely detonated the activities of various cults.
Faced with the increasingly violent energy tide, the next situation is likely to be more difficult than it is now.
And these difficulties that need to be solved urgently, and the solution to them, are in front of the youngest guardian of the empire, the first full moon wizard in a thousand years.
Ryan naturally noticed that more and more eyes began to focus on him.
He knew that under this situation, he had to say something.
