Chapter 543 Top Secret and Promotion

An emergency meeting was immediately held in the palace. Participants, including Menia, were all royal elders of the Dragun bloodline.

"I think we can hold the awarding ceremony for the new guardian in two days."

"That's a good suggestion. In this way, it won't be so abrupt to suddenly summon most of the imperial guardians back to the imperial capital." Elder Ivan nodded and said.

"But after the local imperial guardians leave, what should we do with the gap in combat power in the major provinces? Those evil cults will definitely take advantage of the opportunity, and ordinary people are afraid." Another old royal frowned.

"We can't take care of so many things now. Let's choose the lesser of two evils." Elder Ivan sighed.

"I suggest that His Majesty Volkmas be recalled this time as well." At this time, Menia, who was sitting in the main seat, spoke.

"Your Majesty Walkermas? But if he leaves, what if there is any movement on the part of Queen Trist of the Wind?" another old royal asked.

"I agree. We must learn from the last lesson. If we had recalled a strong man at the peak of the Dawn like His Majesty Walkmas last time, perhaps the result would have been completely different." Elder Ivan supported.

"."

Half an hour later, the meeting ended.

Colorful witchcraft messages spread from the palace to all directions.

At the same time, as if to be on the safe side, a few minutes later, a large number of blood falcons and swifts carrying secret letters flew out of the palace again.

The secret letter contained only one sentence: "On the last Sunday of this month, a ceremony to bestow honors on the new guardians of the empire will be held."

This was also discussed by a group of royal elders, and it was the best reason for most of the imperial guardians to gather in the imperial capital of Tamriel two days later.

Of course, this kind of cover-up may not have much effect on the gods, but for some things, if the other party can know them later, it means that the chances of winning will increase.

The headquarters of the Bixiu Construction School.

After a brief attempt, Ryan was delighted to find that his progress in outlining the fifth-level model of the 'Heart of Steel' advanced meditation method had increased by another three runes, reaching 395 will runes.

This is just as he expected before. The increase in the total amount of mental power is still very beneficial to the progress of meditation.

A few hours later.

Ryan pushed the progress to 412 pieces, and the subsequent improvement speed began to slow down again. He knew that the current level of improvement was close to the limit.

In other words, the benefits of taking the 'Super Wisdom Potion' have gradually been exhausted.

"Absorbing the divine power crystals is still the best."

Ryan couldn't help but sigh.

At this moment, suddenly, the communication mark on Ryan's chest flashed.

As soon as Ryan sensed it, he frowned slightly, and then immediately left the secret room and headed for the palace.

Witchcraft communication is not absolutely safe, so Menia is now waiting for Ryan in an isolated secret room in the side hall of the palace.

Soon, Ryan came to the secret room under the guidance of the maid.

After the female attendant left, Ryan couldn't help but ask:

"Menya, what's so urgent?"

"Ryan, there is one thing you need to pay special attention to two days later." Menia recounted the matter in detail.

After listening to what Menia said, Ryan also looked solemn.

Only then did Ryan know that the Emperor's last attempt to become a demigod was interrupted at a critical moment by several incarnations of gods and he failed, and was also seriously injured.

You know, the information he got before was not like this.

It seemed that for the sake of the empire's morale and the prestige of the royal family, the news that was spread was modified and processed. Although the emperor of the empire was also seriously injured in the news, his failed promotion was turned into a successful promotion.

"So, it is very likely that those gods will come again this time?" Ryan asked after thinking for a moment.

Although Menia's consciousness had briefly merged into his body before, it was not for long, so Ryan only knew part of the secrets and knowledge that Menia possessed.

"Yes, this possibility is very high." Menia nodded and said.

"Menya, isn't it a bit too hasty to do it two days later? Why doesn't Your Majesty choose to promote when he is more fully prepared?" Ryan asked again.

"Because the strengthening of the energy tide has a much greater effect on the revival of the gods than the speed at which our strength is increasing."

"The strengthening of energy tidal fluctuations will allow more powerful people to appear in the empire, but this will take time."

"And time is not on our side."

"I understand." Ryan nodded.

"I have another question. I heard that the founding emperor of the empire, Atlas the Great, was a demigod-level warrior. After that, it seems that two other emperors also entered the demigod level. Where are they?"

This question lingered in Ryan's mind for a long time.

Of course, if it weren't for Menia's special relationship with him, perhaps Ryan would not be able to find the right person to ask the answer to this question.

"Indeed, the three ancestors all successfully entered the demigod level, but it was two thousand years ago. It happened to be not long after the empire was established, and they also noticed soon after they were promoted that the energy tide gradually dropped to the bottom of the fluctuation."

"Humans are not immortal and have a limited lifespan. Perhaps gods and ancient beasts can hide by sleeping, but humans cannot."

"So, no matter how powerful the ancestors were, they had to find other ways. According to the royal secret records, the ancestors and the few remaining Full Moon wizards at that time all went to other worlds."

"Other worlds?" Ryan opened his eyes slightly and asked in shock.

Although Ryan had seen records and descriptions of other worlds in ancient books, he knew very well that the other worlds Menia was talking about were definitely not those other worlds such as the purgatory world and the demon world.

"Is it through a space channel somewhere?"

"No, according to records, our ancestor's original words were that only after being promoted to demigod can one perceive the existence of the ever-changing portal through mysterious perception." Menia said slowly.

"Can you sense the existence of that ever-changing portal through some mysterious perception?" Ryan couldn't help but frown.

If what the other party said is true and there are no errors in the records, then the content revealed in it is worth pondering.

"Could this be the reason why the gods have descended upon us in order to prevent your majesty from ascending?"

"That's not very clear. Maybe it is, or maybe it's not just because of this." Menia shook her head and said.

Ryan nodded, he could understand that.

Even though Menia was an important member of the royal family, he was not the emperor after all, so it was normal for him not to know some top-secret matters.

Besides, the information he had learned today was already enough.

"Ryan, if the situation is as serious as last time, I hope you can pay attention to your own safety." Menia looked at Ryan with her beautiful eyes and said seriously.

"I will, Menea, and you too."

"By the way, this matter is currently top secret. Apart from the royal elders, even the other imperial guardians do not know the details for the time being."

"Ah."

After leaving the side hall of the palace, Ryan first returned home to arrange some things.

Fortunately, his current residence was located in the third ring of the imperial capital, far away from the imperial palace. Even in the last war, the main affected areas were only the imperial palace and the inner ring.

The second ring was almost unscathed, not to mention the third ring.

However, Ryan still made some necessary preparations and reminders.

He told his family to stay at home for the next two days. At the same time, he also set up a protective magic circle in the mansion to guard against the effects of the aftermath of the battle.

"Ryan, what's going to happen?" The beautiful woman Jennifer seemed to sense something.

"Don't worry, just be prepared."

Ryan promised Menia that he would not reveal this matter. Besides, for those whose strength has not reached the epic level, knowing it in advance is not a good thing.

A few hours later, Ryan returned to the Bishu Construction School again.

But this time, he did not enter the secret room, but came to the construction hall. Looking at the tall mechanical Tyrannosaurus Rex, a gleam of light flashed in Ryan's eyes.

"If it is as Menia judged, the day after tomorrow will indeed be very dangerous, but at the same time, this is also an opportunity for me. It depends on whether I can seize it."

After thinking for a while, Ryan called Audrey and said:

"Audrey, please gather all the rare ores you have in the school here for me."

at the same time.

Over the province of Caswith.

An old man riding on a huge blue dragon seemed to be inspecting the situation in his jurisdiction. Suddenly, the pattern on the chest of his wizard robe flickered slightly. He pointed his finger and listened for a while, then a trace of doubt appeared on his face.

However, a moment later, the dragon and the man flew rapidly towards the imperial capital of Tamriel.

A giant wind roc nest deep in the Beverly Mountains.

Suddenly, Queen Beatrice of the Wind Peng raised her beautiful face and looked towards the sky with her beautiful eyes. She could clearly feel a familiar breath moving away quickly.

"Have all the Walkermas left?"

"It seems that the situation caused by the energy tidal fluctuations this time is unusual."

If you look down from a high altitude, you can see that above the clouds, a huge silver dragon is flying rapidly towards the imperial capital. On the back of the silver dragon is an elderly man wearing a gray wizard robe and holding a twisted gray wooden staff.

The other party was none other than Wokmas, a senior imperial guardian who had met Ryan once and was also a sword-wielder.

At this moment, if someone expands his vision to the entire territory of the empire, he will find that similar scenes are happening in the skies over the Moselle Province, Nome Province, Savoy Province and other provinces of the empire.

after one day.

Cyrodiil Plateau.

In the underground construction hall of the Isolde School, five or six high-level wizards were discussing something.

Bradley, deputy head of the Bixiu Construction School, looked at the sand table on the stone platform that imitated the terrain of the entire Cyrodiil Plateau with a happy face and said:

"Master, with the large number of mechanical sickle-claw dragons and screaming dragons left by Lord Ryan, plus the strong support of the Isolde School, we are now unstoppable and have cleared more than 70% of the plateau land."

"Moreover, the most important point is that based on the distribution of the alien spider swarm, we can basically determine that the base of the esoteric school Tutkarsh is roughly somewhere in this narrow strip of land."

Bradley pointed to the narrow strip of land west of the plateau and said.

"Well, it is indeed a gratifying victory!"

"However, what comes next is the most difficult. I suggest that we suspend the attack and immediately summon Lord Ryan to come to the plateau." The sect leader Moriah did not look relaxed, but rather cautious.

Because he had read the detailed battle reports, even with such powerful mechanical assistance, the wizards suffered heavy casualties.

This is the case when most of the enemy's frontal attacks are borne by mechanical creations such as the Mechanical Chocobo and Mechanical Scytheclaw.

This is enough to show that the combat effectiveness of the alien spider swarm alone is far beyond their previous expectations.

What's more, the main force of the Tutkash School is like a poisonous snake at this moment, lurking somewhere in the dark and has not yet attacked. Although they are also prepared, they must not take it lightly.

"I agree. It would be better for us to launch the general attack after His Majesty Ryan arrives." The old wizard with a mustache from the Isolde School nodded.

He had seen Graham's strength, so he would not underestimate him. If they relied on themselves, even with a powerful weapon like the 'Destroyer', they could only barely remain undefeated.

At this time, a young wizard with a happy face came quickly and reported:

"Master, many wizard representatives from other schools have come to the Imperial Capital. They said they want to join the Construct Association. This time they are here to visit and inspect."

"Huh?" Everyone couldn't help but look at each other, all a little surprised for a moment.

"Other schools have joined so soon?"

"Which schools are coming?" Deputy Sect Leader Bradley asked immediately.

"It's the medium-sized schools, the Solid Rock Construction Workshop, the Clay Puppet Academy, and some other small wizard schools. They all sent representatives here."

"Eh? These two medium-sized schools didn't get along well with us before."

"Yes, I heard that two days ago, Lord Ryan had already filed the association's affairs with the Imperial Federation of Wizarding Schools. By the way, there is also news that Lord Ryan has been officially promoted to the Imperial Guardian."

"What! That's great!" Moria slammed the table, his face flushed with excitement.

How many years!

It has been many years since the Bixiu Construction School produced an Imperial Guardian!

"Lord Ryan, no, His Majesty Ryan's strength has long surpassed that of ordinary imperial guardians. It is only natural for him to be awarded the honor of guardian now." The gray-haired old wizard of the Isolde School stroked his beard and congratulated with a smile.

"No wonder people from other schools come here so quickly!" Bradley said with a look of realization.

Just when everyone was looking happy, suddenly, a young wizard ran in with an anxious look and said:

"It's bad, Sect Master, and several others. Bad news has just come from the Terufuto Valley. Three teams of Construct Wizards have been completely wiped out!"

"what!"

"One of the construct teams was equipped with at least one mechanical sickle-claw dragon and one mechanical screaming dragon. Three construct teams. All of them were wiped out?"

"Yes, sir. We have already sent people to investigate urgently. We guess that this is probably the secret base of the Tutkash School that we have been looking for!"

"Contact His Majesty Ryan immediately!"

"Yes, Master."

The next morning.

The main roads in the empire were decorated with lights and colors, and the news that the people learned was that the empire was about to hold an awarding ceremony for the new imperial guardians, and the venue was set in the Royal Arena.

At this time, the Royal Arena was already filled with flowers, and the stands were almost filled with imperial nobles, noble ladies, and young ladies.

Ryan looked at the lively scene in front of him and couldn't help but sighed:
"Even the nobles, at this time, are no different from ordinary people who are kept in the dark."

"Your Majesty Ryan, perhaps we should look at this issue from a different angle. In fact, for most people, not knowing may not be a bad thing." Lambert, with a solemn face, said in a deep voice.

The guardians who rushed to the imperial capital from all over the place were quickly taken to an isolated secret room after entering the imperial capital, where they were instructed in person. At the same time, they were also given additional combat potions and healing potions.

Here, Ryan also met Lambert, who had just become a sword master.

The other party is also one of the new recruits.

At this time, the Red Queen Menia on the royal stand stood up with a smile, showing her graceful and elegant figure, and said: "After discussion between the royal family and the Senate, I solemnly announce that the ceremony of conferring honors on the new guardian of the empire has officially begun."

Menia's words were like cold water poured into boiling oil, and the entire Royal Arena suddenly began to boil!
applause
"The first one is Lord Ryan from the Imperial Sword Bearer Department. He is also the youngest Imperial Guardian in the history of the Dragun Empire!"

Ryan didn't expect that he would be the first person Menia introduced.

"The youngest Imperial Guardian in history? This... this is too amazing!"

"He is indeed amazing. Moreover, this guardian deserves the title. Didn't you see that His Majesty Pantoskok, who was given the title 'Stormy Cloud', was also defeated by His Majesty Ryan a few days ago? It was not His Majesty Ryan's hands."

"Yes, the Empire is very open-minded in this regard. They do not select the Imperial Guardians based on age or qualifications."

The high-ranking nobles, ladies and young ladies present were whispering to each other.

"Clap clap clap!"

At this time, someone clapped again, and immediately, it caused a second "chorus" of applause from the whole audience. For a moment, the atmosphere in the arena reached a climax!
"Thank you, Your Highness Menia, thank you, Senate, and thank you all." Ryan, who was in the center of the arena, bowed slightly to express his gratitude.

At this moment, a strong aura suddenly rose in the center of the palace, majestic and grand. Even though it was weakened by layers of wizard formations, everyone within the palace at this moment could clearly feel it.

"This is..." The nobles present were suddenly at a loss.

However, the imperial guardians who had been prepared all looked serious. They looked towards the center of the palace and whispered, "Has the promotion started?"
