Chapter 99 Canopy Knight
"Ferocious Warrior?" Ryan asked with a little doubt.
He understood.
But he remembered clearly that Claire and Hamilton had said that the word "violent" was used to describe wild beasts, which were different from humans.
So Ryan asked with a questioning tone:
"Do you mean knight?"
Lagre nodded and said, "Yes! Ferocious and what you call breaking the limit are the same. Our barbarian clan has always called the warriors who break the limit as violent warriors according to the sayings handed down from ancient times."
She came to Meister County from the Frost Tundra to find her brother Harald. She has lived here for a while and knows some cultural differences between the two sides.
With Ryan's interruption, Lagre answered the doubts of her savior.
This made Ryan learn a lot about the barbarians from Lagre.
It turned out that the barbarians did not practice the traditional breathing method. According to Lagre, the barbarians have a thin blood of giants flowing in their bodies.
They practiced a breathing method called brute force. This breathing method was relatively primitive. Its effect was to tap into the potential of their own blood, strengthen their physique, and simultaneously enhance their strength and agility, so that the barbarian tribe could fight against the harsh living environment of the windy tundra.
This made Ryan stunned.
This breathing method was similar to his giant bear breathing method. It also focused on strengthening the two attributes of physique and strength. Of course, it was a little worse than the brute force breathing method in terms of agility.
When the barbarians practiced, they also had drugs similar to "black tung oil".
According to Lagre, the barbarian priests would prepare special potions made of various herbs for the warriors of the tribe to promote the progress of the warriors' brute force breathing method.
When Ryan heard it, he felt that the entire training system of the barbarian tribe was too rough compared to the orthodox knight breathing method, but the overall difference seemed to be not big.
But soon, Ryan changed his mind.
Because the barbarians actually broke through the extraordinary through the trial of life and death, rather than advanced potions.
This surprised Ryan.
If a barbarian wants to become violent, the success rate is only about 20% to 30%.
However, even if a breakthrough fails after taking the advanced potion, the mortality rate is only about 10%. There is another 40% probability of strength decline, and a 50% probability of successful breakthrough.
This is in stark contrast to the situation where a barbarian will die if he fails to break through.
Ryan thought, as expected, the knight's path, as the most stable extraordinary path in the long history of mankind, has been continued for a reason.
"By the way, Lagre, I'm sorry to ask you so many questions about your tribe. Please continue to talk about what happened in the Night Song Forest." Ryan then remembered that he seemed to have led Lagre's story astray, so he said with a little apology.
LaGre didn't mind, she nodded and continued:
"My brother turned the tide of the battle alone, slaughtered a large number of gnolls, and killed the old ogres and defeated them step by step."
"Just when we thought the situation was settled, the old ogre suddenly began to flee, and finally ran into an unknown ruins."
When talking about the ruins, Ryan could clearly feel that there was a tremor in LaGre's voice.
"This site is located deep in the Nightsong Forest. There are collapsed tall stone pillars covered with moss and vines. We judge that this seems to be the site of a temple long ago."
"We chased after the old ogre, and suddenly, a mysterious knight appeared and attacked us."
"The other party did not seem to be a living person. The warhorse under his crotch was actually a funeral horse. I once chopped the horse's leg with an axe, but the other party only showed pale flesh, and no blood flowed out."
When talking about this, Ryan could feel a trace of fear in Lagre's eyes. This is an instinctive fear when facing an enemy that is much stronger than oneself.
Although Ryan was very curious about what a 'funeral horse' was, Ryan did not ask this time, but chose to let Lagre continue to tell the story.
"The other party was wearing a knight's armor. The most unique thing was that there was a tree crown shape on the top of the knight's helmet covering the other party's face."
A knight's helmet in the shape of a tree crown?
Ryan immediately thought about it. The pattern or mark of the tree crown should only be found in races or churches that believe in natural gods.
For example, in the book he got from the "King of Dogs" Cole, there are patterns of big trees and flowers.
"The opponent is too strong. He killed one of our team members with one blow."
"I blocked the opponent's lance for just one blow, and my shield was broken, my arm was broken, and I was also injured by this strange black air. My brother attacked with all his strength, but he was still no match for the tree crown knight."
"The other team members died in order to protect me and leave safely."
Lagre seemed to think of the heartbreaking scene. Her eyes turned red again and her eyes were blurred with tears.
Hearing this, Ryan couldn't help asking, "What about your brother?"
"He died too. The last scene I saw was that my brother tried his best to help me lead the tree crown knight away, but he was pierced through the chest by the opponent's lance."
Obviously, when he said this, he evoked the picture that Lagre didn't want to recall the most.
Lagre couldn't hold it in any longer and sobbed.
"I'm sorry," Ryan apologized.
He realized that the other party had just woken up and his emotions had not yet calmed down. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to ask again after a while.
After a long time, Lagre calmed down, turned to look at Ryan and said:
"By the way, there is one thing that is very important. My brother asked me to pass on the news. This knight with a tree crown on his head seems to be an extremely rare evil knight."
"Evil knight?" Ryan was stunned. This touched on a blind spot in his knowledge.
But no matter what, if the 'little giant' Harald's powerful strength is not the opponent of the evil knight, Ryan does not think that the sheriff Hamilton of the shining gold town can defeat that guy.
If this so-called 'evil knight' attacks the shining gold town, who knows how tragic it will be.
Ryan obviously also realized the seriousness of this problem.
Although there are still many situations that are not very clear, Ryan thinks that this matter should be notified to Hamilton immediately so that he can prepare early.
After a little thought, Ryan said to Lagre: "Then you should have a good rest for the night. I will inform the sheriff Hamilton of this matter immediately."
"Yes!" Lagre nodded.
Ryan turned and left.
However, when he walked to the door, he suddenly remembered something and turned to Lagre and said: "Do you need something to eat?"
Lagre shook her head gently.
It seems that she is still immersed in grief.
Although it was around ten o'clock in the evening, Hamilton was still in the office, but the wound on his body seemed to have been treated.
When Ryan came to the office, he could clearly smell the strong smell of the healing potion.
When Ryan mentioned that Harald had encountered the Evil Knight and the team was almost wiped out, Hamilton was shocked and jumped up from his chair immediately, blurting out: "What! Evil Knight?"
After getting Ryan's affirmative answer, Hamilton could no longer hold back and his face changed drastically.
The sheriff of the town of Shining Gold was seen pacing back and forth in the office, with anxiety between his brows.
It was the first time Ryan saw Hamilton so anxious.
"Messenger!!"
A messenger dressed as a guard quickly ran in and saluted, "Lord Hamilton, what do you want to do?"
"Immediately inform Lord Hamadi of the county city and the Church of the Goddess of the Sea that there are traces of the Evil Knight near the town of Shining Gold!"
"Also! Immediately send someone to notify Lord Lloyd of the Habsburg Manor."
"Also, notify all the night watchmen to be on high alert!"
It is obvious that the so-called 'Evil Knight' is extraordinary, as it can make a human extraordinary knight fall into such an anxious mood.
Hamilton muttered to himself:
"Harald's limit breaking degree has exceeded 40%. In terms of calculation, he is already at the level of a senior knight, but he is still not the opponent of the other party. This shows that this Evil Knight is likely to have the strength of a peak knight, or even stronger."
'Senior knight' 'Peak knight'?
Ryan nodded. That plus the 'formal knight' at the beginning should be the division of the knight level.
"Lord, is the Evil Knight really that scary?" Seeing Hamilton so serious, Ryan couldn't help but ask curiously.
Hamilton nodded and said solemnly: "The evil knight is scary, but it is not the most important thing."
"The appearance of the evil knight means that some kind of evil is invading or reviving! It was recorded in ancient books that the evil knight is the minions of the evil god. It must have sensed the call of its master and appeared here."
"This is the biggest trouble!"
Minions
of the evil god? Even if Ryan didn't understand this world, he knew that it must be difficult to deal with. No wonder Hamilton was facing a great enemy.
However, the word "evil spirit" made Ryan think of the glow stone he had obtained.
After all, according to the blacksmith Boris, if it can be melted into a weapon, it will have a powerful killing power against evil.
What a pity!
I can't go to the county town at this stage.
Otherwise, with a powerful weapon in hand, I will naturally have more security.
When Ryan walked out of Hamilton's office, the cold moonlight passed through the gaps in the clouds, like a silver yarn covering the town, giving people a dreamlike feeling.
The cold wind of the late autumn night made Ryan more sober.
After thinking about it, Ryan stopped walking towards home and turned to the training ground of the administrative hall.
The entire training ground was empty and silent.
"Judging from Hamilton's attitude, perhaps the appearance of this evil knight means that the entire Shining Gold Town will face some kind of huge crisis."
"The only thing I can rely on is my own constantly improving strength."
"In addition, my understanding of this world is still too shallow. It seems that while relying on the night watchers, I also need to work hard to obtain merit points and upgrade my rank."
Ryan looked at the night watcher panel. With the experience points gained from killing wolves, the giant bear swordsmanship is only a dozen points away from reaching level 5.
He plans to go home after upgrading the giant bear swordsmanship.
As Ryan pulled out the fine steel sword behind him, a figure wielding a sword was sweating profusely in the training ground.
About an hour later, the system prompt came.
