Chapter 567 The Queen's Knight

"Are you sure? Archbishop Mills?" Ryan turned around and asked in surprise.

Although he had heard the ancient story about the goddess holding a divine weapon and defeating the evil spirit before, the problem was that he had never thought that the divine weapon used by the other party was actually the sub-key of the Key of Time.

And, if that's the case, it's naturally a good thing.

The content left by the goblin princess Amora mentioned that if one could collect two replica keys of the Key of Time, one would be able to find out the location of the real artifact, the Key of Time, by following a certain method.

"Sure, I can be sure of this!" Archbishop Mills recalled again and said in a deep voice.

"So where is this artifact now? In the Cologne Cathedral?" Ryan continued to ask.

"Isn't the one in your hand...?" Hearing Ryan's question, Archbishop Mills looked at Ryan strangely and asked cautiously.

Obviously, he took it for granted that the sword in Ryan's hand was the artifact that the goddess once used.

After all, a powerful man like His Majesty Ryan in front of him is very likely to find this long-lost artifact in some temple ruins.

"No, this one 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.

"what?"

This answer was obviously beyond everyone's expectations.

"There are actually two identical pieces of this artifact?" Archbishop Mills' eyes widened in shock.

Ryan opened his mouth and wanted to say that there were more than two keys, but after thinking about it, he didn't say it.

After all, he himself was still not very clear about the matter of the duplicate key, and it would be hard to predict the pros and cons if he told it now.

"Hasn't the church ever tried to find it?" Ryan said.

"Of course we have tried to look for it, and we have found many clues, but this area is not under my jurisdiction," Mills replied after coming back to his senses.

"What are the specific information?"

"The specific information is probably gone now. Originally, the information was stored in the top-secret data room in the basement of Cologne Cathedral. The information about the artifact clues was placed in a silver iron box."

Archbishop Mills looked at the pointed-roof building in the distance where the evil aura was the strongest and said in disappointment.

"Oh?" Ryan looked towards Cologne Cathedral, his eyes flickering.

He is evaluating.

The strength of the evil demons in the imperial capital Tamriel this time is stronger than the evil demons in the ruins of the floating city.

This is why, although the imperial capital of Tamriel has no less than two-digit imperial guardians, it is still losing ground. On the one hand, it is due to the special pollution of the evil spirits.

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 a late demigod, and it is still improving rapidly.

However, his current strength is much stronger than when he first entered the floating city.

Should I rush in and look for it now, or wait for a while?
After a little thought, Ryan decided to do it immediately.

Otherwise, if the demon's combat power is further enhanced, the opportunity will be missed.

At least, he currently has the special ability of "Shadow Travel", so safety should not be a problem.

"I'll come as soon as I go."

After saying that, Ryan's figure disappeared from the spot.

The powerful men of the empire were left staring at each other in bewilderment.

"Your Majesty Ryan, is he going in?" Archbishop Mills said in astonishment.

"It should be." Sword Saint Lambert nodded. He was relatively familiar with Ryan and knew that this was Ryan's style.

"That's too rash."

"Yes!"

Lagre and Jennifer looked at each other and saw each other's worry in their eyes.

However, there was a gleam in the eyes of Red Queen Menia, as if she had some guesses.

Suddenly, a female attendant came over quickly and said to Menia respectfully: "Your Highness Menia, urgent news from the Federation."

"Read!" Menia said without turning her head.

Now her heart was on Ryan. At this moment, her beautiful eyes were still gazing at the Cologne Cathedral which was filled with evil spirit. Naturally, she didn't care about the polite diplomatic rhetoric.

"The Federation has learned of the demonic attack on the Empire and has immediately arranged two fleets of cargo airships to deliver a large amount of supplies."

Ok?
Hearing this, Menia couldn't help but blink her beautiful eyes, 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. They are willing to provide technical and resource support."

"Hmm? When did the Federation become so easy to talk to?"

"Normally at this time, it's good enough if you don't add insult to injury!"

The other powerful men of the empire also looked surprised.

"No other requests?" Elder Ivan at the side couldn't help but ask.

"Well, there seems to be only one request. I hope that Lord Ryan of the Iron Throne can become the main person in charge of the restoration of the floating city in the empire."

"Wait! The Iron Throne?" Elder Ivan asked 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 at the side also thought of the 'grammatical error' in this sentence and asked in confusion.

Elder Ivan nodded and said, "I have the same doubt. Logically speaking, such low-level language errors should not appear in the Federation's official diplomatic rhetoric."

"Elder Ivan, what if this is not a mistake?" At this time, 'Red Queen' Menia said thoughtfully.

"How is this possible! No, does this mean that 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, no wonder Ryan was so confident.

You know, even King Carlos II ultimately failed.

I didn't expect Ryan to complete the promotion so quietly.

Only by being promoted to a Full Moon Wizard will one not be afraid of the powerful evil spirits.

Full Moon Wizard?! Demigod?!
Lagre gently pinched Jennifer, the beautiful woman who had just recovered and was still a little weak, smiled, and said, "It seems that the two of us were worried for nothing."
-
Ryan's figure reappeared at the entrance of the magnificent Cologne Cathedral.

"Within the range covered by the evil spirit, even the shadow shuttles were affected, but fortunately, the concentration of the evil spirit is not high, so the impact is not too severe."

The appearance of Ryan, the uninvited guest, was immediately discovered by the temple guards who were infected by the evil spirit around them. The completely deformed temple guards rushed towards Ryan quickly.

Even faster than the temple guards were the dense black-gray tentacles growing on the ground around them.

"Shh! Shh! Shh!"

Among them, there were several black-gray tentacles that were seven or eight meters long, which shot towards Ryan like lightning.

Ryan naturally didn't care about these attacks.

His figure flashed and disappeared again, going straight into the Cologne Cathedral, where the evil aura was even more intense.

"This is it." Ryan, who had already locked the shuttle location with his mental power in advance, came to the top-secret data room in the underground in one step.

Because the evil demon broke the seal, all the surrounding confinement magic arrays became ineffective, which in turn made it easier for Ryan to travel directly there, saving a lot of time.

The secret data room in front of him was in a mess. He didn't know if someone had rushed to transport the data when the incident happened, or if it was caused by the overflow attack during the battle with the evil spirit.

At this moment, in the top-secret information room, all kinds of precious old parchments, ancient books and stacks of papers were scattered on the cracked floor, collapsed bookshelves and damaged tables and chairs.

"Damaged?"

"Or was it shipped away?"

Ryan looked around but did not find the so-called silver box.

After thinking about it, Ryan tried to use his mental power to carefully look around.

"Hey!"

At this moment, a sharp black tentacle suddenly stretched out from the wall that exuded a dark gray murderous aura and attacked Ryan.

"You were discovered so soon?"

"Oh!"

Suddenly, a metal kite-shaped shield appeared in front of Ryan, blocking the sharp black tentacles.

But this resistance was like lighting a candle in the darkness, pointing the direction for the enemy's attack.

In an instant, dense and sharp black tentacles attacked Ryan from the walls on all sides like a torrential rain.

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 lit up with joy and he disappeared from the spot.

His figure appeared in the corridor on the upper floor. The silver metal box and several other boxes were scattered randomly in the corridor.

Judging from the scene before us, the Goddess Church should have organized special personnel to move these top-secret materials, but the evil spirits erupted too quickly, causing chaos behind, and all kinds of materials and stored supplies were 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 wrapped around the walls and the ground from all directions like a thorn in the flesh.

"It's really disgusting."

"In that case, it would be rude not to reciprocate." Ryan's eyes flashed, and the next moment, he appeared in the air outside Cologne Cathedral.

I saw a thin metal wire connected to the silver box, making the silver box float in the air as if it were nothing.

Ryan first took out the last piece of blood-colored godhead fragment from his arms and crushed it. Within just a few seconds, his mental fission value soared from 37% to 49%.

After feeling the increasingly powerful mental force, Ryan narrowed his eyes, looked down, began to recite a spell silently, and then raised his hand and swung it downwards!
A high-frequency oscillating dark silver electric saw-shaped energy beam that was over a hundred meters long instantly extended from his right hand, and headed straight down towards the center of the twin towers of Cologne Cathedral and into the ground!
This move is exactly the metal-type full moon killer move that Ryan has just mastered, 'High Frequency Blade!'

"Chi!!!"

The sound of cutting was not loud, but it penetrated very deep into the ground.

"Roar!!!"

In an instant, a furious roar suddenly sounded from below!
The roar almost resounded throughout the entire imperial capital of Tamriel. At the same time, a large number of black tentacles turned into black smoke.

Both the fleeing civilians and the resisting soldiers turned their heads to look. Even the people in the camp thousands of meters away heard this inhuman roar filled with anger and unwillingness.

If you look down from the sky above the imperial capital, you can see that the hemispherical dark gray evil spirit that was originally expanding with Cologne Cathedral as its center suddenly began to shrink. It shrunk from a diameter of several kilometers to nearly half before it stopped.

Dozens of black tentacles as thick as buckets were frantically counterattacking above the Cologne Cathedral.

But by then, Ryan had already disappeared.

Naturally, this strange scene surprised the powerful imperial men in the camp!
The evil demon shrunk the expansion range of its domain, obviously feeling threatened. The one who took action must be the new full moon wizard, Rain's Throne, in front of the Cologne Cathedral.

At this time, Ryan, carrying a silver box, suddenly appeared in the camp again.

"Archbishop Mills, is this it?" Ryan said, pointing to the box in his hand.

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty Ryan, no, Lord Iron Throne, you got it?!" Archbishop Mills bowed with a slightly nervous expression.

It was less than half a minute, and I didn't expect that the person in front of me calmly entered the Cologne Cathedral, which was like a sea of ​​fire and swords, found the things and brought them out.

Archbishop Mills knew it very well. He had experienced many life-and-death tests when he escaped from Cologne Cathedral.

"Huh?" Ryan was slightly surprised.

He remembered that only Hiram and a few others knew the title of Iron Throne, so how did it get here?
"Any news from the Federation?"

"Yes, Ryan, congratulations, you are the first full moon wizard in a thousand years." Menia walked forward and said with a smile.

She had felt before that Ryan's strength seemed to have increased again, but she was not sure.

Now that it was finally confirmed, the pressure in her heart was instantly relieved.

The imperial capital was almost completely destroyed after this battle. The Dragun Empire, which had a history of more than 2,000 years, was on the verge of crumbling, and the people of the empire were like displaced and hungry young birds when winter came.

All of this translates into tremendous pressure that could suffocate ordinary people.

Even though she was known as the 'Red Queen', a smart and capable woman, even though she was a veteran epic-level warrior, even though she was the aunt of the late Emperor Carlos II, she could not bear it.
Ryan looked into Menia's eyes, as if he could sense the pressure the other person was carrying.

He took the initiative to come to Menia, took her hand, bowed and kissed her hand, and said:

"Thank you, Your Highness Menia. I hope to be your guardian knight. Is that 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, saying:
"Of course, Lord Renn of the Iron Throne, it is my honor as well."

The powerful men of the empire around them suddenly realized that the relationship between the two seemed to be much closer than they had imagined.

But, does it matter now?
it is not important.

What’s important is that the crumbling empire once again has its pillars and backbone.

Suddenly, there was thunderous applause all around!
A few minutes later.

Everyone sat around a long table in the camp tent, holding the first emergency meeting after the sudden change in the evil spirits.

"Your Highness Menia, urgent news from all provinces. A large-scale blood sacrifice by the limb-grafting cult occurred in Marne Province. In Moselle Province, several black-robed plague messengers from the Plague Cult appeared openly, 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 female attendant had a solemn face as she quickly reported the urgent news she had just received.

The powerful imperial figure standing by looked more and more solemn as he listened.

Whether it is a senior guardian like Elder Ivan or a new sword master like Lambert, they all understand that the Dragun Empire has reached a critical moment of survival.

The sudden evil incident at Cologne Cathedral completely detonated the activities of various cults.

Faced with increasingly violent energy tides, the situation next is likely to be more difficult than it is now.

The solutions to these urgent problems lie in the hands 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.
