The wizard starts by trimming the donkey's hooves

Chapter 566 Node Key
Faced with so many evil tentacles, Lagre had no choice but to quickly change direction and dodge.

She raised the huge shield above her head, kicked her long wheat-colored legs hard, and 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 rooftops.

Don't assume that the roof is any safer.

Quite the contrary, since the first ones to rush to deal with the evil spirit incident were the Griffin Knights of the Imperial Capital, and since many high-ranking nobles in the inner circle 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 flying speed also increased significantly.

Although these infected birds are fighting with the Imperial Guardians, a small number of infected griffins swooping down can pose a great threat to Lagre, which is why Lagre has not chosen to travel on the roof.

"Shh!"

A dark shadow quickly passed by in the sky!
"Bang!!"

The huge shield that Lagre was holding tightly sank suddenly, and she stumbled and almost fell off the roof.

Apparently, something had just attacked her.

Before she could adjust her center of gravity, a strong gust of wind came from the right rear side of her body again in the next second. Lagre glared with her beautiful eyes and thought to herself, "Oh no!" She immediately moved the huge shield sideways to block it. With a "bang", this time, she was hit hard and flew off the roof with Jennifer on her back.

The attacker was a griffin knight infected by the evil spirit.

As she was falling, Lagre noticed that two waving demon tentacles, seven or eight meters long, suddenly appeared on the ground below.

This made Lagre's heart fall into the abyss again!

Reserau Canyon.

When Ryan appeared again, he was already above the canyon.

Then, after several more trips, 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. However, at this time, his mental strength was almost exhausted.

It’s not that the Full Moon Wizard is not powerful enough. If it were before he was promoted, it would be impossible for Ryan to achieve his current level.

Even if it was just one-fifth of the distance, it would be impossible to do it.

Ryan, who was in mid-air, looked at the boundless blue sea, as if he was sensing the direction.

The next moment, he added a little more mental strength, took a deep breath, and his figure disappeared again!
In the sky not far away, a patrolling federal airship lookout raised and lowered his copper telescope with a puzzled look on his face. After checking several times, he muttered:
"That's really weird. Could it be that I stayed up too late with Lilith yesterday and I'm hallucinating?"

"But I just saw a person standing in the air."

The lookout thought for a few seconds, then shook his head and said, "Forget it, let's not report it to the captain. It must be an illusion."

Imperial capital of Tamriel.

It seemed that LaGre was about to be hit by two evil demon tentacles on the street below.

The electric light and flint room!
suddenly!

"Hey!"

A silver sword light flashed, and the two evil demon tentacles below were suddenly cut off, turning into two balls of black smoke.

"Ms. 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!
"Hey!"

The evil griffin knight who was being chased by Lagre was also cut into two, and the two neat halves of the body fell heavily on both sides of the street.

"Thank you, Your Majesty Lambert!"

Lagre nodded heavily. She knew Lambert, the new sword master of the empire and one of Ryan's good friends.

Since she was carrying Jennifer on her back, she didn't act any more and immediately ran to the outside.

Lambert looked up at the sky with a serious expression.

He is different from Luther, Harlowen and others. He has been practicing with his mentor, Sword Saint Leon, in Tidal Bay of Rhine Province and is considered to be alone in the imperial capital.

After the incident, there was no need to arrange for the evacuation of personnel, so that there would be enough energy to find Lagre's figure as soon as possible.

"Swish!"

At this moment, seven or eight infected griffins suddenly swooped down from the sky.

If Ryan was present, he would be able to remind the evil spirit at the first moment, because of the evil spirit, there is a certain degree of mutual induction between the evil spirit's clones and even the infected objects.

Therefore, when Lambert quickly killed several infected targets, it 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 with their swords at various angles!
"Chi! Chi! Chi!"

Suddenly, a foul-smelling blood rain fell from the sky, as well as the remains of griffins that had been cut into dozens of pieces.

When Lagre turned around and saw this scene, she couldn't help but admire Lambert's strength, and at the same time, she felt greatly relieved.

But the next second, the ground beneath 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, knocking Lambert away in an instant.

Although Lambert blocked with his sword, he was still blasted into the wall of a nearby house 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 swordsman Lambert. At this moment, she was at the edge of the black and gray evil spirit, less than two hundred meters away.

But unexpectedly, the situation is deteriorating rapidly now!
The murderous aura of that giant black tentacle was so strong that even though she was dozens of meters away, Lagre knew that it was far beyond her ability to resist.

So, she could only try her best to escape!
"Leave me alone." Jennifer's weak voice came to her ears.

But at this moment, Lagre no longer had the energy to answer or comfort Jennifer. She just gritted her teeth and rushed to the right.

But the giant evil demon's tentacles are even faster.

"Bang!!"

A long whip-like black shadow flashed by, and the giant shield shattered!
She and Jennifer were also blown into the air by the huge force.

at the same time.

Federal Parliament Building.

The discussion about the ownership of the floating city is still going on fiercely.

"Everyone, I think we should be tougher. Although the young Lord Ryan is very powerful, he is only one person. As for the great significance of the floating city, I think there is no need for me to explain it more."

"Sometimes, some iron-fisted measures are still needed." An old man in the uniform of a federal marshal said in a firm voice.

"Makes sense."

"really."

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, walked quickly to Lawson's side, handed him a note, and whispered quickly:
"Mr. Speaker, this is the second urgent message from His Majesty the Swordmaster Tirion."

This action once again broke the discussion atmosphere in the conference room. All the members focused their attention on the main seat again, and were curious about what the important matter was this time.
After Speaker Lawson took it, he glanced at it casually at first, but the next second, his expression suddenly changed.

"Snapped!"

He couldn't even hold the expensive pipe in his mouth, and it fell to the ground and broke into pieces!
"The Iron Throne! The Full Moon Wizard!" Lawson muttered.

For a moment, everyone in the conference room was in an uproar!
Although some people may have ambiguity about the word "throne", the words "full moon wizard" at the end are really eye-opening!

"The Iron Throne?"

"If I heard correctly, this means that His Majesty Ryan has been promoted?"

"You heard it right. In ancient times, the title of Iron Throne was only given to those who were promoted to Full Moon Wizards."

The second message from the Swordmaster Tirion contained only one sentence: "His Majesty, the Imperial Lord, has been promoted to Lord of the Iron Throne. He is also the first newly promoted Full Moon Wizard in a thousand years."

"Well, Councillor Trena, I may need to trouble you to go to the floating city ruins right away." 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 a full moon wizard, nodded quickly.

However, the thought of her taking the initiative to come to my house
The pretty face of the beautiful female congresswoman became more and more rosy. She felt embarrassed and excited, and at the same time, a little worried.

"The Full Moon Wizard is comparable to a demigod. How can such a being be interested in women?"

At this time, the military chief couldn't help but cough, hiding his embarrassment, and said, "Yes, Councillor Trena, no, Ryan, the Lord of the Iron Throne still needs you to communicate well and try to maintain a good relationship."

"It would be best if Lord Iron Throne could join the Federation. 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 not only concerns millions of ordinary people in the federation," several hawkish congressmen also echoed.

Imperial capital of Tamriel.

Just when Lagre was feeling desperate!
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 now."

Lagre was somewhat familiar with this voice.

Lagre looked up and saw that she and Jennifer were on the back of a huge red dragon, with a beautiful woman with noble temperament beside them.

"Your Highness Memenia!"

It was the first time for Lagre to observe the actual ruler of the empire today, the 'Red Queen' Menia, at such a close distance.

"Well, your name is Lagre, right?"

"Is this Jennifer?"

"Ryan told me about you." Menia said with a smile.

"Did Ryan mention it?" This made Lagre less reserved.

"Oh no! This is..."

Suddenly, Menia's smile faded!
Lagre was also stunned, and immediately followed Menia's gaze, only to see Jennifer's fair and slender calves behind her. Several strands of evil spirits had already coiled 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 excessively high concentration of evil energy.

"Your Majesty Strahza, please land as soon as possible." Menia said in a deep voice.

At this time, Ryan had already appeared in the vast sky above the summer sea. He added a point again and disappeared again.
After seven consecutive points.

Ryan's figure appeared above the imperial capital of Tamriel.

Looking at the dark and evil aura that had formed and covered most of the imperial capital, Ryan's heart shuddered.

Due to the connection between him and the greyhound Cookie and the blood-feathered horned beast, Ryan disappeared again and appeared next to his sister Mint in the next moment.

"elder 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 sky, as well as Claire, his mother Emma, ​​and his father riding on it, but he did not see Lagre and Jennifer.

Before Ryan asked, Mint suddenly thought of something and said, "Oh, brother, you need to find Sister La Ge Lei as soon as possible."

"She went to Aunt Jennifer and 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 soon covered most of the imperial capital. The next moment, Ryan disappeared again and came to a temporary military camp.

And he was the first to see the familiar and graceful figure who was providing treatment.

The center of the temporary military camp.

"Your Highness Menia has been infected by the power of the evil spirit and cannot be cured. You can only suppress it by doing this."

"Your Majesty Menia, please accept my condolences!"

"Your Majesty Menia, be careful of the evil spirit pollution."

Even an epic-level strong man can be easily infected if he comes into direct contact with evil spirits.

"Yes, Your Highness Menia, you are now responsible for the safety of the empire. You should focus your energy on..."

Many people tried to persuade the Red Queen Menia who was performing some kind of fire magic on Jennifer.

"Your Majesty, Ren!"

"Your Majesty 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 most powerful men in the Dragun Empire.

"Ryan, I'm sorry, I didn't protect Jennifer!" Under tremendous pressure, feeling guilty and self-blaming, Lagre threw herself into Ryan's arms.

"No, you've done very well." Ryan patted Lagre's back and comforted her.

"Ryan, I found out a little late." When Menia saw Ryan, she was happy at first, 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 spirit.

"Raylaine, it's great to see you before you leave."

At this moment, Jennifer's face was pale, and a large mass of black air lingered on her originally fair face. If Menia had not released some kind of fire secret technique to fight against the evil spirit, Jennifer would have been
"Don't worry, you'll be fine." Ryan grabbed Jennifer's black and wrinkled hand and said.

Ryan's words made the powerful men of the empire around him look at each other in bewilderment!
Because they didn't know whether what Ryan said was a comfort or whether he could really do it?
Although they instinctively felt that this was impossible to do, 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, the camp was silent.

At this time, Ryan slowly raised his hand, and a nearly meter-long copy of the Key of Time emitting colorful light appeared out of thin air in front of everyone.

Then, Ryan gently held it, and the next moment, he began to inject mental power into it.

As Ryan injected his mental power, tiny crystal clear gravel began to appear at the bottom of the ring-shaped secondary key.

At this moment, several colorful and graceful crystal mists, like morning mist and smoke, quickly emerged from the Key of Time and penetrated into Jennifer's delicate body.

A scene that shocked everyone present appeared!

The evil spirit on Jennifer's body was seen retreating rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, from her head to her chest, thighs, and calves, and finally disappeared completely.

Jennifer's face, which had been dark, had become fair and rosy again, and her body, which had been transformed, had returned to its plump and graceful state.
"How is this possible!"

"Then His Majesty Ryan can save everyone, right?"

"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 just noticed the subtle changes in Ryan.

Ok?
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 is still the youngest one at the scene, but he has lost that youthful look!
Those present were all knowledgeable people, and they understood immediately that the price of performing this near-miraculous spell was actually the life of the caster!

In other words, saving the people of the imperial capital is still an impossible task.

First, no one is willing to sacrifice their own life to save a stranger.

Secondly, with so many people, even if His Majesty Ryan was willing to sacrifice himself, it would be impossible to save them all.

Even if His Majesty Ryan is the youngest guardian of the empire, he will probably die after saving dozens or at most hundreds of people.

"Now I remember, isn't this the key to the artifact node held by the goddess in the underground mural of Cologne Cathedral?" An old man dressed in a water-blue robe and dressed as an archbishop exclaimed, pointing at the secondary key of the Key of Time in Ryan's hand.

The old man's name was Mills. He was one of the few senior clergymen who escaped from the upheaval at Cologne Cathedral.

"The goddess's divine weapon?"

"Node Key?"

For a moment, everyone looked at Archbishop Mills, and then at the copy of the Key of Time in Ryan's hand.
