The wizard starts by trimming the donkey's hooves

"Sir Ryan, I am willing to tell you the purpose of our visit to the secret realm this time." Erida said hurriedly, seeming to be worried that Ryan would directly kill him.

"In addition, I am willing to serve you as my master. I have only one request, that is, please let my sister go."

"Sister?" Erida's beautiful eyes widened, looking at her sister with an unbelievable expression, as if she had never expected her sister Erida to say that.

"Oh? Recognize me as your master?" When Ryan heard this, his movements slowed down and he began to think.

But soon, he thought of a question.

He only heard Ryan pointing to the sky and said: "You two believe in the existence of the Secret Snake Cult. Can you recognize me as your master at will? I am afraid that you will be backlashed by the oath of joining the cult at the first time?"

"Sir Ryan, under normal circumstances, it is indeed as you said."

"But. It's different here. This is the secret realm of Dragon Valley. The power of the Devouring Snake cannot affect this place." Erida said bluntly.

"Oh?" Hearing Ereda mention the Devouring Serpent directly without any intention of avoiding it, Ryan's eyes lit up and he looked at the two women seriously.

Because Ereda's words, it is undeniable that Ryan's interest was indeed aroused.

It was not that Ereda in front of him was charming and graceful, but he noticed the sincere emotion in Ereda's eyes when she looked at her sister at this moment.

Ryan also has a sister, so he can best understand Ereda's mood at this moment.

It made Ryan think of the time when he and his sister Mint supported each other in the town of Shining Gold.

Another thing that touched him was that he did not have any followers at the legendary level.

Not even at the quasi-legendary level.

The only follower, Vieri, was only a great knight, and he had not even mastered the advanced secrets. Moreover, he was still in Munster, and his identity was a sword holder, with many restrictions.

If he could really gain Ereda's loyalty, it would indeed help him solve many problems.

Seeing Ryan's interested expression, Erida immediately said:

"Sir Ryan, after I pledge allegiance to you, I will lose the power of the Devouring Snake and will not be able to use some special abilities, which will weaken my strength a lot."

"But don't worry, by then I will at least have the strength of a late legendary, and I should be able to help you do something."

"Sister, I don't agree!" Sister Erida, only then reacted from the shock, her eyes reddened, and she shouted.

Because of this moment, Erida immediately remembered the scene about ten years ago when she and her sister Erida were wandering, and her sister sheltered her from the wind and rain and protected her with her thin body.

At that time, neither of them had joined the Secret Snake Cult, they were just ordinary people, and were often ridiculed and bullied by other children in the town.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a similar scene reappeared again.

"Sister, don't be willful."

"Be obedient." Arida was worried that Ryan would be angry, and she covered her abdomen with one hand, gently touched her sister's head with the other hand, and forced a smile.

"Sister, if you really want to do this, then change it! Lord Ryan, no, Lord Ryan, my sister has always protected me since I was a child. I hope I can protect my sister this time."

"I am willing to be your follower and be loyal to you. I just pray that you can let my sister leave." Arida's eyes were red and she looked at Ryan.

After a little thought, Ryan shook his head and said, "If I let your sister go, how do I know if she will come to trouble me."

"You have such a deep relationship, do you think your sister won't come to you?"

Although he was quite touched in his heart, considering the consequences of letting one person go

Obviously, Ryan's question made the two women unable to answer for a while.

If you say no, it is self-deception.

For a while, the scene was silent.

"Okay, it's almost time." Ryan looked at the two women and said.

"Don't! Lord Ryan, then let both of us become your followers, is that okay?" Arida's face was solemn, as if she had made up her mind.

At this time, she looked at Arida seriously and said, "Sister, I don't want you to die here."

"This" Arida hesitated slightly, but after a while, she nodded, as if she agreed with her sister's proposal.

"Oh? Have you really thought it through?" Ryan raised his eyebrows and said.

This was quite surprising to him.

If so, this matter is not impossible to consider.

The first thing to be clear is that having two followers in the late legendary period is undoubtedly a good thing, but two problems need to be solved.

The first point is how to ensure loyalty.

This depends on the follower contract.

It's really a coincidence that he just found two follower contracts in Barnes's bag, and he doesn't know if Barnes prepared them for Reagan and Bronson.

In addition, he also carried a scroll of the Follower Contract he had taken from his mentor Mogaro.

In other words, the first point was solved.

The second point was to deal with the possible reaction of the Secret Snake Cult.

After thinking about it, Ryan felt that he was not afraid at all.

After all, those who should be offended had already been offended, such as the Poseidon Cult and the Underworld Goddess Hela!

The cults that have not been offended will sooner or later be severely offended because of his identity and actions as a sword bearer.

In this case, why worry so much!

"Okay, then sign the Follower Contract!" Ryan nodded and smiled.

This made the two women look at each other and breathe a sigh of relief.

The younger sister, Elida, held her elder sister's hand tightly, as if to comfort her.

And Ryan opened the two parchment scrolls that exuded witchcraft fluctuations, read them first, and then used his mental power to attach to the feather pen, deleted and revised it, and handed them to the two women respectively, saying:

"Take a look, if there is no problem, inject mental power and sign your real name."

"Okay." The two women took it and read it one by one.

The main contents are as follows:

“1. Followers must swear absolute loyalty and must not betray their masters under any circumstances.

2. Followers should unconditionally obey the reasonable orders of their masters, actively perform tasks assigned by their masters or cooperate fully in battle.

5. The masters have the obligation to provide followers with opportunities for growth, including but not limited to guiding cultivation, imparting combat skills, and providing various precious witchcraft, extraordinary combat skills, potions and other materials.

9. Followers should strive to improve their own strength to better serve their masters.

10. The total duration of the follower contract is ten years. After the expiration, followers can leave at any time if they do not want to.”

After reading it, the two women's eyes suddenly lit up!

The Ereda sisters did not expect that the follower contract in front of them was so loose.

In addition, Ryan took the initiative to add the tenth clause, setting a time limit for following.

You know, most follower contracts are forever, until the death of the master or the follower.

Some even pledge loyalty to their master's offspring after the master dies.

"Sir Ryan, no, Lord Ryan, is it true that the follower contract you wrote above lasts for ten years?" Sister Ailida couldn't help but ask.

"Of course!" Ryan smiled and nodded.

"Thank you Lord Ryan, my sister and I have no objections." Ailida couldn't hide the excitement in her words.

She and her sister Ailida had to join the Secret Snake Cult.

Even just now, she took the initiative to become a follower of Ryan because she didn't want to see her sister die here.

Unexpectedly, there was a light at the end of the tunnel, and the follower contract signed actually had a time limit.

This means that the two sisters can still have a day to regain their freedom!

This made the two look at Ryan with no resentment, but with a little gratitude.

As the two signed the follower contract, suddenly, the contract scroll exuded a strong witchcraft aura, and for a moment, the Ailida sisters were slightly stunned, as if a wisp of soul was extracted as a witness.

At this time, it seemed that because the contract scroll took effect, the bodies of the two women suddenly burst out with a strong energy fluctuation.

Suddenly, a two-headed giant snake phantom more than ten meters high suddenly appeared above the two sisters of Ereda. A pair of huge snake pupils first stared at the two, and then the two-headed giant snake phantom focused its attention on Ryan.

Suddenly, an indescribable terrifying pressure attacked Ryan like an overwhelming force!

"No, this is the power of the gods remaining in our bodies."

"Because of the conclusion of the follower contract, we were considered to be betrayed, so the power remaining in our bodies was triggered!" Ereda's pretty face immediately changed.

Hearing Ereda's words, Ryan nodded slightly to show that he knew.

He just doubted whether all this was a play directed and acted by the other party.

But now it seems that it is not.

The two-headed giant snake in front of him should be a concrete manifestation of the Devouring Snake Godpower remaining in the bodies of the two women.

Therefore, although this two-headed giant snake has an amazing momentum, its actual combat power should not be as good as the projection of the gods.

Ryan is still very confident about the above judgment.

After all, he is no longer a greenhead who has never seen a god.

Besides, we will know how powerful it is after a try!

"Metal Transfiguration!"

"Cutting Net!"

"Sharpness!"

"Witchcraft Killer Move: Multiple Cutting Nets!"

Ryan raised his hand, and three closely arranged dark metal nets appeared almost out of thin air, flashing a rich silver light, and then blasted towards the huge two-headed snake in the air!

"Chi! Chi! Chi!"

The phantom of the two-headed giant snake immediately screamed!

The entire phantom also dimmed.

The next battle was no suspense.

When Ryan defeated the phantom of the two-headed giant snake, a surging breath dissipated, and at this time, the system prompt suddenly sounded:

[Ding! A small amount of unknown high-quality energy that can enhance the degree of spiritual power crystallization was detected. Yes/No to absorb? (Note: The system can remove impurities by absorption.)]

"Hmm?"

"This is." Ryan's eyes lit up immediately, as if he had thought of something, and he immediately said "yes" in his heart!

In an instant, Ryan felt the huge power around him, suddenly seeping from his whole body and rushing straight into his mind.

In a very short time, he felt the number of crystals in the silver liquid in his mind increase at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The increase was even greater than the ancient dragon soul potion he had taken before.

A few seconds later, Ryan glanced at the system panel:

Spirit: 134 (crystallization 30%)

"It was 17% before, and now it has reached 30%, a full 13% more? I took the ancient dragon soul potion before, and it also increased by 10%." Ryan was extremely happy.

Unexpectedly, he planted a willow tree unintentionally and it grew into a shade.

He signed a follower contract with the Ereda sisters, and he was able to sign a strength improvement.

Ryan took out several bottles of healing potions from his bag and handed them to the two women for recovery.

As he had to rescue Captain Baldwin immediately, Ryan asked the two women to board two improved Hellfire golems and follow behind him.

He himself added a little more energy, restored his physical strength to the peak, and went one step ahead to the target point.

After Ryan left with the two women.

Suddenly, a void energy suddenly appeared between Barnes and the other two.

The void energy that was constantly rotating in the air like a space crack actually sent out three clusters of energy strangely towards the three people.

As the energy group covered the heads of the three people, from the outside, it seemed as if the heads of the three people were covered with a transparent jellyfish.

The weak Barnes and the other two rolled their eyes and trembled all over.

I don’t know how long it took, the three people suddenly became ethereal, as if they had turned into translucent jelly people, and then the three people easily walked out of the hardened adamantium shell that had just trapped them.

Strangely, the three hardened adamantium shells left in the original place were still intact.

The three first looked around, and after discovering the traces of the improved Hellfire Golem, they quickly chased forward.

But at this moment, the expressions of the three were a little wooden, as if there was no trace of human emotion.

In addition, if Ryan was present, he would immediately find that the three people running seemed to have increased their strength and agility, but there was always an indescribable sense of disharmony.

At the same time.

Imperial capital Tamriel, by the Fallen Star Lake.

I saw that there were imperial airships lingering in all directions above the lake. At a glance, there were at least dozens of airships, and the bronze cannons on one side were aimed at a certain position in the lake.

But these were not the most eye-catching.

The most eye-catching thing was that there was a slender adult red dragon in the air among the airships.

And the red-dressed woman on its back was the guardian of the empire, Menia, who was named the "Red Queen".

Following Menia's solemn gaze, I saw a huge light curtain under the sparkling water of Falling Star Lake, which was flashing with strong energy fluctuations and a door-shaped light curtain that was looming.

On the lake corresponding to the light curtain, a beautiful woman in black robe stood quietly.

Standing in the water, it is not difficult to do this. As long as you master the witchcraft of "walking on water", even a third-level wizard apprentice can do it.

If it is just standing in the water, it is naturally nothing.

But if you look carefully around the black-robed woman, you can see that the lake water around her is actually faintly glowing with a clear blood color.

As for the source of the blood color

Hundreds of elite guards' bodies were seen floating up and down in the lake!
