The wizard starts by trimming the donkey's hooves

I saw Ryan, who was originally riding on Xueyu, about 40 to 50 meters away from the rock wall. At this moment, he held up his lance, squeezed his legs, and followed the loud cry of Xueyu.

Suddenly, the man and the eagle shot straight to the rock wall like an arrow from a bow, so fast that they arrived in an instant.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang!

At the impact point of the rock wall, a circle of white air waves suddenly exploded, and a large amount of gravel splashed. As the smoke and dust dissipated, a basin-sized depression appeared on the rock wall!

And the nearly four-meter-long lance in Ryan's hand played the disappearing trick.

Because at this moment, part of Ryan's hand was also inserted into the rock wall, not up to his forearm, so the lance was naturally even more invisible.

Fortunately, Xueyu used his strong claws to grab the rock wall heavily, which was considered to buffer the impact of the sprint, otherwise it might have hit the rock wall slightly.

"The rock wall is more fragile than I thought."

"No, it should be that my strength is stronger, and I didn't control the scale at once." Ryan shook his head and said.

"Crash!"

He slowly pulled the dark lance out of the rock wall, bringing out a lot of gravel, and a round hole the size of a bowl appeared on the rock wall.

At this time, Ryan suddenly raised his head and looked to his left rear.

Seeing four black spots flying in the distance, Ryan narrowed his eyes slightly and immediately saw clearly that they were four griffin knights.

Obviously, the patrolling griffin knights should have discovered the movement here, so they came to check.

"Hey, it's Sir Ryan." As the distance gradually approached, soon, the leading Viscount Felke exclaimed in a low voice.

He shook the reins and immediately accelerated forward.

Fisher, who was standing by, also smiled and said to the other two griffin knights, "Didn't you say you wanted to meet Lord Ryan? Here he is."

"Lord Felke, long time no see." Ryan waved his hand and said hello with a smile.

He just saw that the person who came was Viscount Felke, the deputy captain of the Griffin Squadron, and he was also an old acquaintance.

"Lord Ryan, you should have some kind of horned eagle under your crotch, right? It's really a rare flying mount!" Felke, with blond hair, looked at the blood feather under Ryan's crotch and couldn't help but look surprised.

"Yes, the blood feather horned eagle, I also got it by chance."

"Viscount Felke, I have always envied you as griffin knights, who can soar into the sky." Ryan said with a smile.

The two complimented each other a few words.

At this time, Fisher accidentally felt a ray of sunlight shining on his face, flickering and dazzling, so he naturally looked up.

Huh?

I saw that the beam of light was actually coming from the rock wall of the main peak of the Hrothgar Mountains!

What's going on?

My current position should be just north of the main peak. The sun is blocked, so how can there be light?

Wait.

"Hiss~"

Fisher rubbed his eyes and squinted to look carefully. In an instant, his eyes suddenly widened and he took a breath of cold air.

Seeing Fisher's dumbfounded look, Felke and the other two griffin knights beside him naturally turned their heads curiously.

The next second, the three of them were like Fisher, as if they were struck by lightning, and the whole person froze there. At the same time, their eyes were bulging and their faces were horrified!

This made Ryan feel a little curious, and he looked up.

Hmm?

Was the rock wall that he just hit broken through?

I saw a through hole on the rock wall at the top of the mountain, which was seven or eight meters thick.

What's even more bizarre is that it seems that the sun is in the right position, and a ray of sunlight just penetrates the hole and shines on the Munster side from the other side of the mountain in advance.

"The original beauty of the main peak of the Hrothgar Mountains - 'Golden Summit', I'm afraid it will be renamed. No, there should be an additional beauty!" Fisher, who was born and raised in this area, was a little dazed for a while and muttered to himself.

The original main peak of the Hrothgar Mountains, in the morning of a clear day, as the sun reaches a suitable position, the main peak will shine with golden light, so this beautiful scenery was named 'Golden Summit'.

Hearing Fisher's words, including Felke, they all fell silent for a while.

Because they really couldn't believe that Ryan's previous attack directly created a new attraction.

Ryan was also slightly startled!

After all, when he made the move, he didn't think so much, just thought that the rock wall of the main peak of the Hrothgar Mountains was just right.

However, the effect in front of him really surprised him a little!

"Sir Ryan, I'm afraid you have added a new beauty to Munster. Perhaps, the Administration Office will soon ask you what name is more appropriate." Felke said with a smile after being surprised.

"Well, I just tried the new secret, but I didn't expect it to have such an effect." Ryan shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Sir Ryan, I think this hole should be named after you, called 'Ryan's Hole', how about it?" Fisher complimented.

Fisher's starting point is also very simple. If he wants to let the world know, he naturally wants to let people know who made this hole.

But Ryan was stunned when he heard this!

What? What kind of a name is 'Ryan's Hole'?

It's better to drill a hole in the wall to steal light.

I originally thought that Fisher, this young man, was a smart guy, but now it seems that he is also a bad namer.

"How about the Hole of Light? Maybe it sounds better." Ryan coughed and said.

Ryan's words immediately made the four people react.

"Sir Ryan is right. The name of 'Hole of Light' has a deeper meaning." Felke immediately agreed with a smile.

As a descendant of a great noble from the imperial capital, it is naturally one of the necessary skills to read people's expressions.

"Sir Ryan, this name is too good."

The others praised him immediately, but their eyes still looked at the hole from time to time. The powerful penetrating power brought by this highly concentrated force is really too amazing!

After a while.

Ryan and Felke slowly controlled the mounts under their crotches and landed on a slightly flat part of the mountain, and chatted alone.

"Sir Ryan, as a knight with a flying mount, plus your identity as a sword holder, you are almost equivalent to a griffin knight. You can skip the Royal Griffin Guard and directly apply for the assessment to join the Imperial Dragon Rider Reserve."

Felke's face was solemn and he said seriously.

"Dragon Rider Reserve?" Ryan asked in confusion.

He only knew that the guardians of the empire, those dragon riders, seemed to be selected from the Royal Griffin Guards, and he didn't know much about the others.

"Yes, Lord Ryan."

"Do you remember the token that His Highness Menia gave you, the red dragon scale?"

"Of course." Ryan nodded.

"In fact, His Highness Menia had this idea at the time, and thought you had a chance to participate in the selection of dragon knights. However, considering that you don't have a flying mount and lack relevant air combat experience, you are given red dragon scales and allowed to join the Royal Griffin Guard first."

"Because according to the conventional process, most dragon knight candidates first join the Royal Griffin Guard, contract a griffin, and train for a few days to become familiar with flying before they can be qualified to participate in the dragon knight assessment."

"But now you have a blood-feathered horned beast mount, so you can skip this step."

"And your identity as a diamond-level swordsman and His Highness Menia's token will basically not cause any problems in the background check of the dragon knight reserve assessment."

Felker said a lot of things with great enthusiasm, and Ryan could of course hear that this was the other party showing goodwill to him.

On the other hand, he was indeed very interested in what the other party said.

"Oh? Then what happens after passing this assessment and becoming a dragon knight reserve? How long will it take to become a dragon knight?" Hearing this, Ryan's eyes lit up and asked.

Before, Ryan was not very interested in joining the Royal Griffin Guard. The main reason was that the combat power of the griffin itself was not very helpful to him.

At the same time, he already had a blood-feathered horned eagle beast, so it would be even less meaningful to contract a griffin.

But if he could contract a dragon, it would naturally be different. It was a completely different concept.

Not to mention the powerful combat power of an adult dragon, the gain brought to Ryan by the epic class "Dragon Knight" would probably not be less than that of the epic class "King of Thousand Blades".

"Well, this is hard to say."

Felker paused, as if he was organizing his words.

This made Ryan curious.

"Because the birth of the Dragon Knight is the product of a two-way choice. The dragon chooses the man, and of course, the man also chooses the dragon. However, the most important thing is the former, because the number of dragons is far less than the candidates for the Dragon Knight." Felker said slowly.

"Oh? So that's the case." Ryan raised his eyebrows and nodded.

"Dragon Knight selection is basically held once every five years, unless there is very serious combat damage, there will be an additional test. This time, because of the battle in the imperial capital, several imperial dragon knights were killed. So, the empire decided to add an additional test."

Hmm?

Ryan finally understood.

"Could it be that the dragon knight's mount dragon is inherited from the previous dragon knight who died in battle?" Ryan couldn't help asking.

"Yes, the growth cycle of dragons is too long, and dragons are different from other creatures. They grow continuously, that is to say, the longer the dragon's lifespan, the larger its body, and the richer its combat experience."

Filk explained tirelessly.

"Although the official dragon knight selection is scheduled for the month of frost, if Lord Ryan has an idea, you have to go to the imperial capital as soon as possible, because the assessment of the dragon knight reserve is on the first Sunday of the harvest month."

"If you miss it, I'm afraid you will have to wait another five years."

"Thank you Lord Filk for telling me." Ryan bowed slightly to express his gratitude.

"You're welcome, Lord Ryan. I still have some things to deal with. We can talk next time when we are free." Felke also bowed slightly and said with a smile.

"Okay, Lord Felke."

After Felke and his group left.

Ryan jumped on the back of Blood Feather again and flew towards his mansion.

But along the way, Ryan was digesting the information provided by Felke.

"It is now the Month of Flowers, followed by the Month of Stag, the Month of Midsummer and the Month of Flowing Fire, and then the Month of Harvest."

"From this point of view, if I want to participate in this Dragon Knight selection, I only have more than three months to prepare."

When Ryan controlled Blood Feather to slowly land, his sister Mint immediately surrounded him, pulled Ryan and asked excitedly:

"Brother, why did you take so long? By the way, how does it feel to be in the sky?"

"I also want to fly in the sky."

"Brother, can you take me to fly in the sky too!"

"This is easy. I'll take you flying around now." Ryan touched Mint's head and said with a smile.

Ryan would naturally meet such a small request from his sister.

However, Mint's bright eyes rolled around, and then turned her head and smiled sweetly at Anna beside her, saying: "Sister Anna, please accompany me, otherwise I will be scared."

"Ah? This." Anna was about to refuse, but she didn't expect Mint to grab her hand and push it over.

Anna was just thinking, Mint would be scared?

But with Ryan as a brother, why would Mint, as a sister, still be afraid?

Before Anna could figure out this problem, she was pulled over by Mint.

At this moment, another problem was placed in front of her, that is, how should three people sit?

However, when Anna was still in a daze, Mint had already arranged this problem.

"Sister Anna, if you hold me, I won't be scared, okay?"

Facing Mint's innocent big eyes, Anna really couldn't say no or anything else. All she could do was nod.

"Yeah!"

"Yeah, that's great!" Mint smiled so hard that her big eyes narrowed into a slit.

Wait.

That's not right.

If I hold Mint, then I can't let Mint hold Ryan, right?

Wouldn't Ryan have to hold

Anna seemed to have thought of something, and her beautiful eyes showed a trace of panic.

"Brother, then you have to hold Sister Anna, otherwise, Sister Anna will be scared too." Mint said loudly at this time.

Swish!

Anna's face turned red.

Although her intimacy with Ryan has made great progress after their reunion, it is still secret after all.

But this time, she was still very shy to be held in the arms of Ryan in front of a group of guards.

"This, this. I actually..."

Before Anna could say anything else, Mint urged the two to hurry up.

"Brother, let's go!"

"Okay!" Ryan nodded with a smile.

When Anna was held in Ryan's arms, she immediately lowered her head shyly and hugged Mint tightly.

Before taking off.

Ryan used his innate witchcraft 'Metal Transfiguration'.

On Ryan's palm, a piece of slightly softer magic silver instantly transformed into a ring similar to the safety bar of the roller coaster in his previous life, which encircled the three people and passed through and buckled under the abdomen of Blood Feather.

After all, safety must be put first when it comes to his sister and Anna.

But in this case, Anna and Ryan are tightly together.

As a close-combat Blood Feather Hippogryph, with Anna and almost negligible Mint, there is no pressure of weight at all.

As the Blood Feather Hippogryph flapped its wings again and took off, the three people suddenly rose and fell violently, Mint naturally shouted excitedly, and Anna and Ryan could not help but be infected by this simple and pure happiness.

However, when the blood feather flew quickly, Anna, who was sitting in front of Ryan, had her hair fluttering in the wind.

When the pleasant fragrance of grass and wood, along with the hair, passed Ryan's nose, Ryan couldn't help but tighten his arms around Anna.

The flying posture of the blood feather horned eagle is quite special. It is different from ordinary eagles. It is more like a horse. Every time it flaps its wings, it will rise and fall.

This makes Ryan a little uncomfortable.

It is really difficult to keep calm when you are so close to each other!

Especially when the relationship between the two is very close.

After a while, Anna suddenly felt that her buttocks seemed to hit something hard.

At first, she twisted her waist uncomfortably, trying to adjust the position of her buttocks to avoid that thing.

But later she found that she couldn't avoid it.

So she tried to press the other party under her buttocks.

But with Ryan's slight groan, Anna suddenly realized that the thing that was irritating her was

Immediately, Anna's face was as red as a hot iron, almost bleeding.

For a moment, she felt her cheeks burning hot, her whole body softened, and even her hands holding Mint were loose and soft.

Fortunately, Ryan used metal deformation in advance to wrap the three of them together, and then tightly clasped them around Xueyu's abdomen. Even if Anna let go, Mint would not have any safety problems.

And Mint, who was sitting in the front, was waving his hands happily and shouting from time to time.

In sharp contrast to Mint, Anna kept her head down the whole time, almost burying her head in her chest, and the whole person was silent.

"Sister Anna, why are you so hot?"

"Sister Anna, why are you shaking all over? Are you scared?"

"Brother, hold Sister Anna tight, she's scared!"

"."

As Anna's body twitched slightly, she collapsed in Ryan's arms, her beautiful eyes seemed to be filled with a layer of mist, and she didn't even know when the blood feather landed in the backyard.

When she came down, her legs were weak, and if Ryan hadn't supported her, she would probably have sat on the ground.

But when she came to her senses, she left the scene quickly like a frightened rabbit.

"Brother, what's wrong with Sister Anna?"

"Does she not like flying in the sky?"

"This." Ryan didn't know how to answer his sister's question for a while.

You can’t say that it’s because your brother pointed a gun at your sister Anna the whole time, so she was shy.

However, Ryan thought about what happened in the sky just now.

He found that Anna was the kind of person who would soften when touched, and seemed to be extremely sensitive.

“Maybe it’s the first time, so I’m more nervous.”

“But it’s my first time too, why am I not nervous?” Mint continued to ask in confusion.

“.”

However, after the beautiful scene, Ryan soon thought of one thing.

“I have to hurry up to learn the floating technique, otherwise, if I fall from a high altitude, I will be seriously injured if I don’t die.”

After all, once the battle starts, anything can happen, so be prepared in advance just in case.

“I have to go to the exchange hall in the afternoon or tomorrow morning.”

“Exchange the floating technique and some rare metals.”

When Ryan returned to the study, he came to Jenny’s room.

Since Agatha’s room is still under repair, Agatha is resting in Jenny’s room now.

Ryan still needs to visit Agatha for the unexpected disaster she suffered this time.

"Lord Ryan, why are you here?" Agatha saw Ryan coming to visit her, and she sat up from the bed with joy.

This feeling of being valued by an important person made Agatha feel warm in her heart.

"Have a good rest, Agatha." Ryan waved his hand, indicating Agatha to lie down.

"Thank you Lord Ryan for your concern. I'm actually not in any big trouble. I'm just a little scared."

"Lord Ryan, Agatha was mainly frightened and had a few scratches. Don't worry, I will take good care of Agatha." Jenny introduced.

"Well, you can tell me if you need anything." Ryan nodded.

"Okay, thank you, Lord Ryan."

When Ryan returned to the study, he quickly called the beautiful woman Jennifer and asked:

"Jennifer, how are the guards you trained at the Chamber of Commerce last time?"

Although the main reason for the attack this time was that the attackers were too strong compared to the guards, it also sounded a warning to Ryan.

He planned to strengthen the overall defense of the mansion.

"The time is too short, only half a year, most of them are at the level of first-level or second-level knight attendants, and there are very few who have reached the level of third-level knight attendants." The beautiful woman frowned slightly, shook her head, and said.

Ryan nodded, which was about the same as he expected.

When nobles select servants or guards, they are generally trained from childhood and selected layer by layer. Although loyalty can basically be ensured, it takes a lot of time.

This is also one of the reasons why it is difficult for emerging nobles to catch up with the great nobles with deep foundation in a short period of time.

"By the way, dear, we just received an invitation letter from the Goddess Church, signed by Brandor." The beautiful woman took out an invitation letter from the side and handed it to Ryan.

"Oh? A letter from Brandor?" Ryan took it and opened it, reading it at a glance.

After reading it, Ryan couldn't help laughing and said, "Jennifer, you definitely can't imagine that Bishop Xien has been transferred to Munster Cathedral to preside over the work."

"Huh? Bishop Xien is coming to Munster? That's great." The beautiful woman's eyes lit up and said.

"Tomorrow night, you will accompany me to the welcome banquet." Ryan nodded and said.

"Okay, dear."

After Jennifer left, Ryan took out the transparent prismatic crystal in his waist bag for the first time. It was the memory crystal from his mentor Mogaro.

And what was stored inside was the first level of the "Heart of Steel", the most important advanced meditation method of the Bixiu Construction School.

Previously, because Ryan had been focusing on his epic class job transfer, he had temporarily put aside the matter of learning advanced meditation.

However, now he could start learning.

As Ryan held the crystal and probed his consciousness into it, soon, a stream of knowledge about advanced meditation flooded into his mind.
