Chapter Fifteen, Dream Changes
"The answer is that the desperate civilians first lit the beacon fire, and finally the former nobles rebelled, completely ending the empire's rule.
Why did those nobles rebel? Because they saw the power unleashed by the common people! They felt fear. If they did not make a choice and waited for the common people to unleash their full potential, then they would no longer be able to be shepherds."
Ryan's gaze was like a torch, and every word struck Allen's mind like a sledgehammer, deafening and deafening. For a moment, he felt that his cognition was torn apart.
The education he received since childhood told him that he should immediately refute it and tell Ryan that this was imagination, ignorance, and a joke!
He suppressed the anger in his heart and said: "Sir Ryan, you are also a noble, and you are also a transcendent. You should know how huge the gap is between civilians and us.
If there were no supernatural beings to deter them, the monsters in the Monster Mountains would devour all the civilians, and the orcs would cross the Urgan Mountains to slaughter them.
A fifth-level magical beast equivalent to a great magician is enough to destroy a town in an hour, and there are countless such magical beasts in the Magical Beast Mountain Range!
With the weak strength of civilians, will those monsters and orcs be frightened? Sir Ryan, tell me, how can civilians survive without extraordinary beings!"
Ryan sighed. This is the perception of nobles in this era, even smart people like Allen are no exception. He patted Allen on the shoulder and said:
"Knight Allen, what if I told you that civilians can also have weapons that defeat extraordinary beings?"
Allen immediately retorted: "Impossible, I have never seen such a weapon."
"I have seen it, and there are many." Ryan looked at Allen's eyes very seriously and said every word.
For a moment, Allen was stunned. He saw seriousness and determination in Ryan's eyes...
"I know this is beyond your knowledge, but I can tell you that what I say is true. If we are still alive after the war, I will prove it to you!
It's getting late, Knight Allen, please rest early." After saying that, Ryan left, leaving only Allen who was in conflict.
…
Time flies, and half a month passes. Ryan is practicing archery alone at the shooting range. In the empty shooting range, only Ryan's bowstring is making constant vibrato.
Since Viscount Chelsea led a large force to start the counterattack, the city of Bana has become much deserted. His mentor Aisen, as the garrison commander, has been living and eating on the city wall during this period, and has no time to give him guidance.
Allen was also hiding in the room during this time, not knowing what he was doing.
After emptying two quivers in a row and turning the bullseye of the target four hundred meters away into a hedgehog, he fell to the snow without any force, motionless.
Even if he is an extraordinary person, his physical strength is limited, and the high-intensity continuous firing makes him a little exhausted.
Ryan rested his arms on his head and let out a dull sigh. Although his archery skills were already very good, they were still far behind Eisen.
Even if he used source power to strengthen himself, he could only catch one or two arrows, which made him want to give up. But when he thought of the agreement between Aisen and him, he was filled with fighting spirit again.
Just because Eisen knew the murderer who killed his father, Turan von Black.
Ryan had never seen his cheap father with his own eyes. Two years in the past, he only knew about him from the memory of his predecessor and from Eisen's mouth.
Turan was also killed on the ground beneath Lane. According to Eisen, he and Turan served in the same army during the Third Kuwait War.
Turan was called [Eagle Eye Knight] at that time, and he was called [Night Falcon Knight]. The two of them were archery confidants, and they were also competitors for the number one marksman in the legion. It was always difficult to decide the winner.
.
Until one month before the end of the war, Turan stayed on this land forever. Eisen saw clearly the appearance of the murderer in the chaos... Ryan didn't know what happened next.
Originally, Ryan was just an outsider occupying the magpie's nest, and there was no need to avenge him. However, after their memories were completely integrated, Ryan subconsciously accepted everything about his predecessor:
Identity, family, wealth...as well as responsibility, hatred and responsibility!
Therefore, he wants to know the truth, know his murderer, and kill him!
"I will know everything..."
Just like that, he fell asleep on the snow and soon fell asleep.
A picture that had not appeared in his dream for a long time appeared again, a tall and majestic figure, a holy palace...a broken mirror.
He was already familiar with these scenes, but this time, the dream changed. He saw more palaces and peaceful and mysterious floating islands.
"Who...are you?" He asked this question again to the figure in front of him. The figure still did not answer his question, but turned to look behind him.
Ryan followed his gaze and saw only dense meteors trailing down on the sky with long tails... Then, his eyes turned into a vast expanse of white again.
Finally, a broken fragment rushed towards him...
Ryan woke up from his dream. When he opened his eyes, he found that the sun was almost setting on the horizon.
"It's different. Where is that place?"
Ryan's soft murmur disappeared in the empty shooting range with the cold wind, and no one could answer him.
There was a sound of horse hooves, and Ryan stood up quickly. After all, the image of lying on the ground was really terrible.
Soon, Ham appeared in front of him, but his poor horsemanship made Ryan couldn't bear to look directly at him, and it took him a while to rein in the reins.
"It's great that my lord is here." Ham jumped off the horse, saluted Ryan with a face full of joy, and then handed him a closed bamboo tube.
"What is this?" Ryan took it doubtfully.
"An hour ago, His Excellency the Viscount returned in triumph. They defeated an entire enemy legion. This was sent by the Viscount's personal guards. You will know after you open it and see it."
Ham scratched his head, he didn't know what was inside.
"An alien version of the secret message?" Ryan raised his eyebrows slightly, but this was the first time he had heard of this method.
He opened the sealed bamboo tube with force and found that there was indeed a rolled animal skin paper inside. With the sunlight that had not yet disappeared, he discovered that it was an invitation letter.
The general content is that Ryan should record his first victory in this battle and invite them to a celebration banquet, where the latest personnel arrangements will be announced.
"Hmm, a banquet for nobles?" Ryan put the animal skin paper into his pocket, feeling a little hopeful in his heart.
You know, after traveling for so long, he has never participated in a noble banquet. It's not that he has never held a celebration banquet before, but he is not qualified enough.
This kind of banquet is generally for nobles with formal titles, such as Viscount Chelsea, and the following barons.
Then there are powerful knights such as Aisen. Or people with noble status, such as magicians.
People like Ryan and Allen are not ranked at all, and they are only qualified to participate in banquets for all officers.
In Ryan's opinion, it was just an alien version of a bonfire party, without the aristocratic extravagance at all.
"The time is tonight. It seems that I need to rush back to the station immediately to take out the dress I packed at the bottom of the box."
