Chapter 551 The Secret Hidden in the Mural
The sect leader Moria, who had come to his senses, quickly came to the entrance covered by a layer of dark silver metal. However, he did not rush in, but stopped unexpectedly.

Moria stretched out his right hand, with an expression of excitement, admiration and hope, and slowly touched the dark silver metal that had not yet completely dissipated, murmuring:

"This is the real metal-type Dawn killer move."

Moriah himself is also a metal wizard. Although his talent is slightly inferior to Ryan, compared with other wizards, he is still quite outstanding. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to reach the peak level of crystallization.

"I understand!"

"I understand!!" Moria suddenly exclaimed with an excited look.

Huh?
Ryan, who was not far away, clearly felt that some wonderful changes seemed to have taken place in Moria, not in his external body, but in the fluctuations of his internal mental power.

The fluctuations of mental power changed, becoming deeper and deeper.

"Is this... about to enter the dawn?" Ryan couldn't help but open his eyes slightly and look at Moria.

He also didn't expect that by fully exerting his metal-type Dawn killer move 'Iron Forest', in addition to wiping out the Tutkash School and scaring off Graham, he could actually help Moria take the final step towards becoming a Dawn Wizard.

Of course, this is also because Moria himself is involved between the Crystallization Peak and the Dawn Wizard, and what he lacks is just an opportunity.

"Don't disturb Moria. It's better to send someone to guard nearby."

"I think it won't be long before the school will have another Dawn Wizard." Ryan couldn't help but laugh.

The normal promotion process takes some time, and it is best not to be interrupted.

Seeing this scene, the black dragon Metes on the side couldn't help but look at Moria curiously with his huge dragon pupils, marveling in his heart. He didn't expect that he would encounter such a rare thing when he came out this time.

"Is the sect leader going to be promoted?" Deputy sect leader Bradley couldn't help but feel surprised and happy.

"Yeah." Ryan smiled and nodded.

"This is really great. Your Majesty Ryan, what the sect leader has been looking forward to for a long time has finally come true." Bradley sighed.

He remembered clearly that some time ago, when the school was facing difficulties from the Isolde School, Moria had planned to forcibly attack the Dawn Wizards, but if he had really done so at that time, the result would most likely be unsatisfactory.

How could it be as smooth as this time!

"The leader of the Moria sect is also a metal-type, so he was able to gain some insights from the magnificent witchcraft that His Majesty Ryan just performed. How enviable."

The two old wizards at the peak of crystallization from the Isolde School looked at Moria and then at Ryan with envy on their faces.

Their strength is similar to Moria's, and they are all stuck at the last line.

But Moria was luckier than them, as he had an imperial guardian leading the way ahead, while they still had to figure things out on their own.

Half an hour later.

Moriah came to Ryan with a delighted look on his face, bowed deeply to Ryan respectfully, and then said: "Your Majesty Ryan, thank you for your guidance."

"Master, this is not my credit. Your foundation is enough, but you just lack an opportunity." Ryan smiled and waved his hand, and asked, "How does the Dawn Wizard feel?"

"Very good! Hahaha!" Moria couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Ryan was naturally very happy that Moria had entered the level of Dawn Wizard. Now, besides him, there was someone else who could fully exert the combat power of the "Destroyer".

The next two days.

While Ryan taught Moria and more than a dozen metal wizards about some mechanical creations of goblin engineering, he also slowly advanced the progress of the fifth level of the "Heart of Steel" advanced meditation method.

The Cyrodiil Plateau is rich in mineral resources, and they are all rare shallow surface rich mines that are easy to mine. As long as the local residents and tribes are paid enough, there will be a steady supply of ore.

This is also the reason why he designated the Cyrodiil Plateau as the new base for the Bishu Construction School after its promotion.

"Everyone, this is the key to making the mechanical velociraptor." Ryan said as he put together the last piece of mechanical component of the mechanical velociraptor.

"I see."

"Metal deformation is the key. Otherwise, the precision of the parts we make will not meet the requirements of the drawings."

"Yeah, the mechanical chocobo is fine, but the mechanical velociraptor requires higher precision. We still have to improve our basic skills."

"."

The wizards studying around were either realizing something or whispering to each other, but it was obvious that they all gained a lot from Ryan's teaching.

Ryan looked around and nodded slightly.

The people in front of them were carefully selected by Moria and others. After a period of observation, they were found to be excellent in both talent and character.

At this time, Deputy Sect Leader Bradley hurried into the hall, walked up to Ryan, and said, "Your Majesty Ryan, Sect Leader, we found some ancient murals in the Tutkarsh School."

Hmm? A mural?

But obviously, if it was just an ordinary mural, it would not make Bradley, the always capable deputy leader, look so excited.

Soon, Ryan and Moria, led by Bradley, once again arrived at the Tutkash School headquarters below the Telufto Valley.

After two days of cleaning and moving, the corpses of the alien insect swarms and Tutkash school wizards that were originally killed by Ryan.

At this time, all of them had disappeared, leaving only the dark red bloodstains left on the walls of the passage and the faint smell of blood in the air, indicating that a fierce battle had taken place here before.

The place where the murals are hidden is in a warehouse at the bottom, on the same floor as Graham's laboratory. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to call it a cave.

As the group of three entered, Ryan soon discovered that there were more than a dozen dim and slightly blurred murals on the surrounding rock walls. Judging from their age, they were extremely old.

"Your Majesty Ryan, Sect Leader, this is it." Bradley pointed to the cave wall and said.

The first mural depicts a group of human warriors and wizards wearing classical bronze armor, fighting with a black-robed girl surrounded by various powerful and ferocious sea beasts on the beach.

The warriors roared and swung their swords, and the wizards shouted and cast spells, fighting against the black and surging waves, vividly.

The second picture.
"What is painted on it seems to be a scene of ancient humans fighting with gods." Moria said in surprise after a quick look.

You know, many records about gods are rarely passed down in pictures due to their long history and constant wars. Even if there are occasional records, they are mostly in text or just a few words.

Moreover, in this regard, all major cults seem to have some kind of tacit understanding and deliberately erased some related records.

"This is Hela, the goddess of the underworld. This is Rune, the god of hunting."

Ryan looked at the first few murals and quickly recognized that the ancient human warriors and wizards were fighting against the evil gods he was familiar with.

The middle pictures depict how, under the leadership of a righteous god, humans gained the upper hand and defeated several evil gods.

As for the following ones
"what?"

"Is this... a demon?" Ryan narrowed his eyes and thought to himself.

The last few murals depicted very interesting contents, with many familiar and unfamiliar figures to Ryan, both good and evil gods, all fighting against some huge black monsters in their respective areas, but clearly at a disadvantage.
That huge black monster Ryan looked quite familiar.

There are many black sickles on both sides of its body, and many pairs of black claws on its lower body. Its head is covered with sharp horns pointing to the sky, and it has a bloody mouth covered with fine fangs. Its body is filled with black air and it floats in the air.

It was obviously an enlarged version of the evil demon. "The evil god and the evil demon are fighting?" Ryan was slightly startled, with a thoughtful look on his face.

He had always thought that the evil demons and the evil gods were in the same group and were the common enemies of mankind in this world since ancient times, but now it seems that is not the case.

And judging from the murals, it seems that humans are the weakest party, the evil gods are at the middle level, and the evil demons are the strongest.

"This should be a painting from the Middle Ages, at least six thousand years ago."

"These are all evil gods, but what is this hideous black monster at the back? It seems particularly powerful." Moria looked thoughtful and pointed to the murals at the back.

Even though Moria is the leader of a sect, he doesn't know much about evil spirits. Of course, this is also closely related to his usual obsession with constructs and golems.

"This is a demon, a very scary thing." Ryan explained at this time.

"Evil demon? Horrible?" Moria's face suddenly became serious when he heard Ryan say that.

It was only after Moria entered the Dawn Wizard that he discovered that he still could not see the depth of Ryan's strength. Instead, he felt that although the fluctuations of Ryan's mental power were obscure, they were as vast as the sea and became increasingly unfathomable.

"Mr. Bradley, are there any other murals nearby?"

"No, Your Majesty Ryan, I have confirmed it repeatedly."

"Well, set up a shielding spell here to preserve these murals."

"Okay, Your Majesty Ryan."

When Ryan returned to the Isolde School again, he suddenly saw his mentor, Mogaro, in the hall, talking enthusiastically with three tall and slender women whose clothes were obviously different from those of humans.

"Ren!"

The youngest elf girl among them, like a light and dancing butterfly, flew into Ryan's arms with a unique fragrance of grass and trees.

"Anna, why are you here?" Ryan hugged Anna's soft and slender waist, feeling the girl's enthusiasm, but at the same time, he couldn't help feeling a little surprised and asked.

Because logically speaking, even if Anna received the notice and rushed to the imperial capital Tamriel, she should be reuniting with her mother at this moment.

"You rescued so many missing people this time. Elder Nesha wanted to thank you in person on behalf of the elves. I heard that you came to the Cyrodiil Plateau, so I told Lady Olena to take us to find you."

Anna said, pointing to Olena beside her.

"Also, my mother has basically recovered, and she wants to come and see you."

At this moment, Anna seemed to remember that there were other people around, especially her mother. She blushed, reluctantly but had to let go of Ryan's arms, blinked her big beautiful eyes, and said.

Ryan's face showed realization, and then he focused his attention on the two elf women.

Sure enough, the beautiful elf woman with faint crow's feet and classical temperament was Elder Nesha who had not been seen for a long time. The elf woman who was smiling and kept looking at Ryan and Anna was Ms. Darien Hawkmoon, Anna's mother.

She was also one of the elf women that Ryan rescued from the secret realm of the Dragon Scale Brotherhood some time ago.

In addition, judging from his expression and movements, he seemed to have recovered. I think it was Elder Nesa who gave him further treatment after arriving in the imperial capital, which accelerated his recovery.

"Hello, Elder Nesa."

"Ms. Darien, you look much better." Upon seeing this, Ryan immediately stepped forward and bowed slightly.

Although Ryan was superior to the two women in terms of strength and status in the Dragun Empire, as they were Anna's elders, Ryan naturally needed to salute them first.

This is a courtesy and a respect for Anna.

"Your Majesty Ryan, you are too polite. Congratulations on becoming the youngest guardian of the Dragun Empire." Elder Nesa immediately returned the greeting.

"Thank you, Ryan." Darien Yingyue continued to look at Ryan with a smile, just like a mother-in-law who likes her son-in-law.

For a moment, Ryan felt that the pressure from the other person's eyes seemed to be greater than when facing the incarnation of God.

After a brief greeting, the group went to the reception room of the residence and sat down.

Taking advantage of this gap, the capable young woman Olena stepped forward and handed Ryan a letter with both hands, whispering, "Sir, His Highness Menia hopes that you can return to the imperial capital in the next two days."

"Oh?" Ryan took the letter handed to him by Olena, opened it and read it quickly.

The content on the letter was very simple. Menia had received a formal request from the Federation, which said that in the face of the current severe situation, the Federation wanted to jointly explore the ruins of the floating city with the Empire, and hoped that the Empire could send strong men there as soon as possible.

Since Menia knew that he had explored the ruins of the floating city once before, he wanted to ask for his opinion.

However, Ryan concentrated on thinking about this matter.

As for the exploration of the floating city ruins, Ryan naturally wanted to go, because the lower level of the ruins might contain the complete "Heart of Steel" advanced meditation method.

After all, the ancient goblins are the source of the 'Heart of Iron', but in terms of timing, he didn't think about it so early.

Ryan's original idea was that it would be safer to explore the ruins of the ancient goblin floating city after he became a fifth-level full moon wizard, because the evil spirits inside were quite difficult to deal with.

"Wait, maybe the right breakthrough location I've been looking for is in the ruins of the floating city!"

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came into Ryan's mind, as if lightning had cut through the fog.

He had considered many places before, such as the underwater lava lake, the basement of the school, and even rearranging a secret room in Cyrodiil, but after careful consideration, he felt that they did not seem very safe.

Because even if it was Emperor Carlos II, even in the Dragun Empire Palace with complete defenses and various magical formations, the movement when he was promoted to demigod still alarmed many evil gods, so they sent down their clones to obstruct him.

Not to mention the above-mentioned areas.

As for the secret realm, it is even more inappropriate. Ryan has read the relevant ancient books and records during this period of time.

Once you choose to break through in the secret realm, the lack of spatial rules will cause unpredictable deviations in the perception of the promotion process, and there is a high probability that the secret realm will be destroyed, which means that the evil gods will still sense it immediately.

Therefore, one of Ryan's backup plans before was to go to Monsoon and the Goddess Church and make a breakthrough there.

Simply put, it is to use the power of the monsoon and the goddess to cover up the movement of his promotion.

Of course, there is also a problem here, that is, the Goddess Church may not agree. After all, the Pope of the Goddess Church in the imperial capital is not the Bishop Theon he is familiar with.

In addition, there is a more critical issue. Under the Cologne Cathedral in the imperial capital, part of the body of the evil demon is sealed.

Once he used the goddess's power to block the fluctuations of his promotion, the power to suppress the evil spirits would be insufficient, resulting in unpredictable changes, such as... leakage?

But this time, the mysterious murals from the Middle Ages seem to indicate that the ancient floating city infested by evil spirits may be able to block the perception of evil gods.

In other words, even if the evil gods sensed the fluctuations of promotion, they would be wary of that place and would not be able to use their full strength to deal with him.

"The floating city may be a better choice. However, before that, I need to carefully understand whether the situation depicted in the mural is true." Ryan thought to himself.

And now there is someone ready to consult about this matter.

Humans may only be able to find some fragmentary records about things in the Middle Ages, but the elves are different. As an immortal race, some of their classics are preserved quite intact.

Ryan smiled and said to Elder Nesha, "Elder Nesha, you came at the right time. I want to ask you something."
