The wizard starts by trimming the donkey's hooves

Chapter 419 Follow
"Sir Ryan, I would like to take the initiative to tell you the purpose of our visit to the secret realm this time." Erida seemed to be worried that Ryan would directly take action, so she said hurriedly.

"Besides, I am willing to serve you as my master. I have only one request, which is that you release my sister."

"Sister?" Aida's beautiful eyes widened and she looked at her sister with an expression of disbelief, as if she had never expected her sister Aida to say that.

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

But immediately, he thought of a problem.

I 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'm afraid you will be backfired by the oath you took in the cult immediately, right?"

"Mr. 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 Serpent cannot affect this place." Erida said bluntly.

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

It is undeniable that Ereda's words did arouse Ryan's interest.

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

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

Ryan couldn't help but recall the time when he and his sister Mint supported each other in the Town of Shining Gold.

Another thing that impressed him was that he did not have any followers of legendary level.

Not even at the quasi-legendary level.

The only follower, Vieri, is just a great knight and has not even mastered the advanced secrets. Moreover, he is still in Munster and his identity is a sword bearer, which has many restrictions.

If he could really gain the allegiance of the Eredar, it would indeed help him solve many problems.

Seeing Ryan's interested expression, Ereda continued:

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

"But don't worry, I will at least be in the late legendary stage by then, so I should be able to help you with something."

"Sister, I don't agree!" Sister Alida finally recovered from her shock, her eyes turned red and she shouted.

Because of this scene, Ailida immediately remembered the scene about ten years ago when she and her sister Ailida 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 yet 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 happened again.

"Sister, don't be willful."

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

"Sister, if this is really necessary, then let's change it! Lord Ryan, no, Lord Ryan, my sister has always protected me since I was a child. I hope that this time I can protect my sister once."

"I am willing to be your follower and pledge my loyalty to you. I only pray that you can let my sister leave." Alida looked at Ryan with red eyes.

After a moment's thought, Ryan shook his head and said, "If I let your sister go, how would I know if she would come to trouble me?"

"You two have such a deep relationship, don't you think your sister will come to find you?"

Although he was deeply moved, he considered the consequences of letting one person go.
Obviously, Ryan's question left the two women unable to answer for a while.

If you say you can't, you are deceiving yourself.

For a moment, the scene was silent.

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

"No! Lord Ryan, then let both of us become your followers, is that okay with you?" Alida said with a serious face, as if she had made up her mind.

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

"This..." Erida hesitated a little, but after a while, she nodded, as if she agreed to her sister's proposal.

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

This was quite unexpected for him.

If this is the case, it is not something that cannot be considered.

The first thing to be clear is that having two followers of the late legendary stage 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.

What a coincidence, he just found two follower contracts in Barnes's bag. He didn't know if they were prepared by Barnes for Reagan and Bronson.

In addition, he also carried with him a scroll of follower contract that he had obtained from his mentor Mogaro.

In other words, the first point is solved.

The second point is 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 have already been offended severely, such as the Poseidon Cult and the goddess of the underworld Hela!
The evil cult that he has not offended yet will sooner or later be severely offended because of his identity and actions as a sword bearer.

If that’s the case, then why worry so much!
"Okay, then let's sign the follower contract!" Ryan nodded and said with a smile.

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

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

Ryan opened the two parchment contracts that exuded witchcraft fluctuations, read them first, 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 at it. If there is no problem, inject your spiritual power and sign your real name."

"Yes." The two women took it and started reading it one by one.

The main contents are as follows:

“First, followers must swear absolute loyalty and must not betray their master under any circumstances.

2. Followers should unconditionally obey the master's reasonable orders, actively carry out the tasks assigned by the master or cooperate fully in battle.

5. The master has the obligation to provide followers with opportunities for growth, including but not limited to guiding training, teaching combat skills, and providing various precious witchcraft, extraordinary combat skills, potions and other supplies.

9. Followers should strive to improve their own abilities so as to better serve their masters.

10. The total duration of the follower contract is ten years. After the expiration, the follower can leave at any time if he or she does not wish to do so. "

After reading it, the two girls' eyes suddenly lit up!
The Eredar sisters had never expected that the follower contract before them would be so lenient.

Moreover, Ryan took the initiative to add a tenth clause, setting a time limit for pursuit.

You should know that most follower contracts are permanent and will only end when the master or the follower dies. Some even require the follower to be loyal to the master's offspring after the master dies.
"Sir Ryan, no, Lord Ryan, the term of the following contract you wrote above is ten years, is that true?" Sister Alida couldn't help but ask.

"Of course!" Ryan nodded with a smile.

"Thank you, Lord Ryan. My sister and I have no objections." Alida could not hide the excitement in her words.

She and her sister Ereda joined the Secret Snake Cult out of necessity.

Even though he had just offered to become Ryan's follower, it was because he didn't want to see his sister die here.

Unexpectedly, there was a ray of hope, and the follower contract I signed actually had a time limit.

This means that the two sisters will one day regain their freedom!
This made the two of them look at Ryan without any resentment, but with a little gratitude instead.

As the two signed the Follower Contract, suddenly, the contract scroll exuded a strong witchcraft aura. For a moment, the Eredar sisters were slightly stunned, as if a wisp of their souls were extracted as a witness.

At this moment, seemingly because the contract scroll had come into effect, a strong energy fluctuation suddenly burst out from the bodies of the two women.

Suddenly, a two-headed giant snake phantom over ten meters high appeared right above the two Erida sisters. A pair of huge snake eyes first stared at the two of them, and then the two-headed giant snake phantom focused its attention on Ryan.

Suddenly, an indescribable terrifying pressure attacked Ryan like an overwhelming force!
"Not good, this is the power of God's favor that remains in our bodies."

"Because of the conclusion of the Follower Contract, we were considered traitors, and thus the divine power remaining in our bodies was triggered!" Erida's pretty face changed immediately.

Hearing Erida's words, Ryan nodded slightly to show that he understood.

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

But now it seems that it is not.

The two-headed giant snake in front of them should be a concrete manifestation of the devouring snake power that remains in the bodies of the two women.

Therefore, although this two-headed giant snake has an amazing momentum, its actual combat power should be inferior to the projection of the god.

Ryan is still very confident about the above judgment.

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

Besides, we’ll know how strong the combat capability is after trying it!
"Metal Transfiguration!"

"Cutting Web!"

"Sharp Technique!"

"Witchcraft Killer Move: Multiple Web Cutting!"

Ryan raised his hand, and three tightly arranged black metal nets appeared almost out of thin air, flashing a strong silver light, and blasted towards the huge two-headed snake in the air!
"Chi! Chi! Chi!"

The phantom of the two-headed giant snake immediately let out a scream!
The entire shadow also dimmed.

The ensuing battle was no surprise.

When Ryan defeated the phantom of the two-headed giant snake, a surge of aura dissipated. At this time, the system prompt suddenly sounded:
[Ding! A small amount of unknown high-quality energy that can enhance the crystallization of spiritual power has been detected. Yes/No to absorb? (Note: The system can remove impurities by absorption.)]

"Ok?"

"This is." Ryan's eyes lit up immediately, as if he thought of something, and he silently said "yes" in his heart!
In an instant, Ryan felt the tremendous power around him suddenly penetrate his whole body and rush straight to his mind.

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

The increase was even greater than that of the ancient dragon soul potion taken before.

After a few seconds, Ryan glanced at the system panel:
Spirit: 134 (crystallized 30%)

"It was 17% before, and now it's reached 30%, a full 13% increase? I took the Ancient Dragon Soul Potion before, and it also increased by 10%." Ryan was extremely happy.

Unexpectedly, the willow trees grew into a shade without any intention.

He signed a follower contract with the Eredar sisters, and was able to actually gain a boost in strength.

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

Since they had to go and rescue Captain Baldwin immediately, Ryan asked the two women to board two improved Hellfire golems and follow behind them.

He then gathered his energy again, restored his physical strength to its peak, and took a step forward towards the target point.

After Ryan took the two women away.

Suddenly, a stream of void energy 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 ball covered the heads of the three people, it looked as if there was a transparent jellyfish covering their heads.

The weak Barnes and the other two had their eyes rolled back and their whole bodies were shaking.

It was unknown how long it had been before the three of them suddenly became ethereal, as if they had turned into translucent jelly men. Then, they easily walked out of the hardened platinum shell that had just trapped them.

Strangely enough, the three hardened adamantium shells that were left behind were still intact.

The three of them first looked around, and after discovering the trace of the improved Hellfire Golem, they quickly chased after it.

However, at this moment, the expressions of the three people were a little wooden, as if there was not a trace of human emotion.

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

So at the same time.

Imperial capital Tamriel, by the Lake of Fallen Stars.

There were imperial airships hovering in all directions above the lake. A cursory glance showed that there were at least dozens of airships, and the bronze cannons on one side were aimed at a certain location on the lake.

But these are not the most eye-catching.

The most eye-catching thing is a slender adult red dragon in the air among a group of airships.

The woman in red on its back was none other than Menia, the guardian of the empire, also known as the 'Red Queen'.

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

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

Standing in water is not difficult. As long as one masters the magic of "walking on water", even a third-level wizard apprentice can do it.

If it's just standing in the water, it's naturally nothing.

But if you look closely around the woman in black robe, you can see that the lake water around her is actually faintly tinged with a distinct blood color.

As for the source of blood
Hundreds of bodies of elite guards were seen floating up and down in the lake!
