"Three days ago, we traveled lightly and arrived at the Kuwait Mountains and entered a hidden cave. The chief knight and the magician accompanied the viscount.

Soon after, we felt the ground shaking. We didn't know what happened. The Viscount and the others fled in panic and ordered an emergency retreat.

In the process, we alarmed the monsters in the Kuwait Mountains. Those monsters were crazy and cruel. During the breakout, we lost most of our men. The chief knight and the knight squad also all died in the line of duty.

Then……"

Carter's tone was trembling, as if those ferocious monsters were right in front of him. What happened next was nothing more than a chance encounter with Ryan and the others, and they eventually capsized in the gutter.

Ryan looked as calm as water on the surface, but he was just lucky in his heart. Viscount Kaiser's chief knight was at least a senior knight, and with a small team of knights, ten Ryans tied up would not be enough for them to charge.

But, what exactly is Viscount Kaiser looking for?

Ryan subconsciously turned his attention to the ring on his hand. It was the most hidden thing on Viscount Kaiser's body. Could it be...

After a while, Ham also came back with the confession. After comparison, there was not much difference, which proved the accuracy of the information.

Ryan took a deep breath, and his eyes gradually became dangerous. Being able to let Cather take the risk himself already showed its importance. If it was leaked, he might be in big trouble.

He looked around. Apart from the two prisoners, the only ones present were Ham, Jack and the two soldiers escorting the prisoners.

"or……"

An evil idea was born in his mind, but was abandoned in an instant. After all, he was not ruthless enough to attack one of his own people.

"Thank you for your hard work, go down and rest." Ryan patted Old Jack on the shoulder and said calmly.

What he didn't notice was that there was a faint light on the ring.

Old Jack was quite flattered, nodded and bowed and retreated, while Ham and the two soldiers knelt on one knee in front of him.

Ryan was a little confused, but he heard Ham solemnly say:

"I, Ham Will, swear allegiance to you. I will be the sharpest sword in your hand, the strongest shield, and the most loyal vassal, and I will defend everything you have to the death."

The two soldiers behind him also spoke one after another: "I, Laisen/Om, swear..."

Ryan didn't expect that they would suddenly come here. Although his cheap father also had some loyal vassals, this was the first time that he had sworn allegiance to him.

Not to mention, this feels really good.

As for why the other party was loyal to him, he knew it with a slight turn of his head. He had killed Viscount Kaiser this time and had so many gains. After the war, it would definitely be okay for him to be rewarded with a higher title.

of.

When a person achieves the Tao of chickens and dogs and ascends to heaven, it is better to be his vassal than to lick blood on the tip of a knife in this ice and snow.

Recalling the allegiance ceremony he learned in the etiquette class, he drew his sword and placed it on Ham's shoulder, solemnly saying: "I, Sir Kingdom, Ryan Leigh Black, accept your allegiance!"

He gently tapped their shoulders three times with the blade of the sword, and the ceremony was completed. From then on, they would be marked as retainers of the Black family, and they would be loyal to the Black family for generations to come.

Of course, this is just an ordinary ceremony and has no binding force at all. Only by signing the [Soul Contract] can their fates be truly connected.

However, Ryan did not prepare a contract with him, and he had to wait until he arrived in Bana City. Ordinary civilians were not qualified to be loyal, but if they were soldiers, it was a different matter.

"Sir, would Jack and the two prisoners want to..." Ham made a gesture of wiping his neck.

Obviously, Hamm's allegiance is not only because of Lane's military exploits, but also because he knows that he heard something he shouldn't have heard.

"This guy is quite ruthless." Ryan looked at him with admiration. He didn't expect that this guy was a talented person. Not only was he thoughtful, but he was also ruthless.

"Jack is a smart man. After you deal with the two prisoners, go back and rest. It will be dawn soon." Ryan dusted off the snowflakes on his body and walked into his tent.

In the tent, Allen was still in a coma. He was too seriously injured.

With the help of a dim oil lamp, he struggled to take off the broken armor on his body. This process was so painful that Ryan breathed in cold air.

Pulling off the rag between his ribs, blood was still oozing out from the hideous wound. He picked up a bottle of potion and opened it. A stench hit his face, almost making Ryan lose his breath.

If he hadn't used the healing potion before, he would definitely think that some unscrupulous person had poisoned him.

This kind of potion, which is tempered with a variety of herbs and the essence and blood of monsters, always doesn't taste that good. Fortunately, it is for external use. If he takes it internally, he will definitely vomit out the dinner he had the day before yesterday.

Holding back his nausea, he poured the medicinal solution on the cloth and bandaged the wound. The effect was surprisingly good. The cold feeling greatly alleviated Ryan's pain.

"It is indeed a potion worth fifty silver dollars per bottle, and it is well worth the money." Ryan breathed a sigh of relief and took off the cloth strip on his right arm. Then you also have a wound that needs to be treated.

However, when Ryan opened the strip of cloth, he was shocked to find that the wound had begun to scar.

Although the knight's recovery power is far superior to that of ordinary people, it is obviously unreasonable to recover so quickly.

"Could it be..." An idea flashed in Ryan's mind. After being injured, he had used a drop of source power to strengthen his right arm. Could it be related to source power?

Ryan was suddenly excited and immediately planned to verify it. As soon as he entered the consciousness space, he was shocked. There were actually two "little dragons" composed of source power in the dragon crystal!

It is roughly estimated that there are about twenty drops, which is a huge sum of money for Ryan.

But Ryan never believed in any kind of windfall, oh, except for the dragon.

After thinking hard, Ryan finally took out a bag, which contained the last magic crystal.

He was immersed in the consciousness space and held the crystal in his hand. Sure enough, the dragon crystal's rotation speed suddenly accelerated, and a large piece of rich purple mist was sucked in.

Inside the dragon crystal, the third "little dragon" takes shape at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Looking at the crystal in my hand, I saw that it had lost its luster.

Ryan suddenly understood, almost jumped up with excitement, and said happily: "I know, this purple mist is magic power, and the source of power is formed by absorbing magic power from heaven and earth every day.

And the magic crystal also contains abundant magic power. One crystal can actually generate ten drops of source power. It's great, great, I don't have to worry about the source of the source power in the future!"

Ryan was ecstatic. Although magic crystals are equally precious, as long as they have money, nothing is a problem! A lot of magicians are willing to trade.

"By the way, I also want to try to see if the source power has a healing effect, but it's a pity that I just used the potion." Ryan took apart the cloth strips with some pain and used a drop of source power to strengthen his torso.

An explosive force suddenly exploded in his torso. He felt that the beating of his heart became more powerful. He hammered his chest, which made a dull impact sound, and his ability to resist blows was also strengthened.

"What a magical substance, amazing."

Since getting the dragon crystal, Ryan has been shocked too many times.
