After Eli returns from vampire territory, he and Ryan go to another suitable place to talk, accompanied not only by Andrew, but also by a human Juggernaut.

Inside the cave, the magic lamp emits a warm glow.

"Hello, Dear Mr. Michelle, I'm Brigitte."

The young female human swordmaster has a heroic and beautiful appearance, her long black hair is tied into a high ponytail at the back of her head, she is wearing silver armor and a long sword, her black pupils are looking at Ryan in front of her seriously, and her voice is thick, as if she has been burned by flames, "I heard that Mr. Eli said that you seem to be interested in hiring a human swordmaster as a teaching instructor, I wonder if I can meet your conditions." ”

Dressed in black, Ryan quietly looked into Brigitte's eyes, and after a few seconds, asked, "Hello, first meeting." I do intend to hire Juggernaut as a mentor, I wonder what kind of return you need? ”

"My reward for your escort has been paid in advance, and my people have returned to the duke whom Mr. Eli honors."

Brigitte's eyes darkened slightly, and she quickly calmed her thoughts, and said in a slow voice: "Ten years ago, there was an evil lich who summoned a scourge to destroy a small human city for one thing, and countless deaths were died everywhere he went, and skeletons and undead woke up in a sea of corpses.

I was born in a small city that was destroyed, and I was just a high-ranking warrior when the Disaster struck.

I have witnessed the death of my friends and family, and no one in the city has been able to stop the Lich's atrocities...... Because of the special props, under the leadership of the leader, Lucky left with some of the clansmen, and on the way to escape, we met Mr. Eli. ”

Brigitte looked sideways and looked at Andrew, who was also dressed in black robes beside Ryan, "It took me ten years to become a human sword master with hatred, and the strength of the lich made me live in hatred until some time ago.

Above the clouds, a mysterious merchant named Michelle, whose guardian wields the Grace of the Gods, wields the evil Lich with his sword. ”

Brigitte drew her weapon, her eyes shining like a burning flame, "Dear Mr. Michelle, I know that I am making a very presumptuous request...... But I have lived in hatred for ten years.

I ask your guards to fight me, win or lose, without any payment from you, and I am willing to pay 30 years of freedom as the price for this impudent challenge. ”

In 10 years, he became a sword master from a high-level warrior in the form of a human being.

This requires not only excellent talent, but also extremely determined perseverance.

Ryan could see that Brigitte was not dissatisfied with Andrew or for any other reason, but just used her hatred of her enemies as a motivation to improve her strength. When the Lich dies at the hands of others, her motivation is suddenly destroyed, and if she can't adjust her mentality, she will stop at the Juggernaut stage forever.

The lich died at the hands of Andrew, fought a fight, recognized the difference in strength, and replaced a new motivation.

That's what Ryan saw in Brigitte's eyes.

The time of prostituting a sword master for 30 years -

Cough.

Ryan felt that he should be a good person, so he looked sideways at Andrew.

The moment Ryan turned around, Andrew already understood what he meant, took out his weapon from the spatial ring, and accepted the invitation to fight in an offensive stance.

"It's not a good place to fight, let's go outside."

Brigitte gripped the hilt of her sword and turned away in a radiant spirit.

Ryan half-uncovered his hood and said to Andrew with a smile, "Stay safe and come back early." ”

Andrew whispered yes, strode with his sword and followed Brigitte out of the cave.

Ryan knew Andrew's strength, and Andrew knew what he had to do.

Before leaving the vampire territory, Eli had not yet changed into the earl's robes, and looked at Ryan with jewel-like eyes, "My dear lord, are you still satisfied with Brigitte?" I watched the tribe for a long time, and finally decided that only Brigitte was the best fit. ”

Ryan's eyebrows rose slightly, "It seems that there are still many human sword saints in your race?" ”

"I just love making friends as much as you do, and I've been to other territories a lot before...... There are not many human powerhouses in the clan, more of them are aliens, followers of the Grand Duke, me and other vampires. ”

Eli looked sideways out of the cave and listened to the sound of blades clashing with each other, "Brigitte has a good personality and cares a lot about her family and friends. If it weren't for the Lich, she would have become a Juggernaut as well, but it might have taken a little longer. ”

She knew she couldn't kill the Lich, not even in 30 years. Brigitte may be trying to confirm the gap between herself and the lich through Andrew. ”

Ryan chuckled under his breath, "Eli, thank you for helping me find a good warrior mentor. ”

He could guess that Eli or the Grand Duke must have promised Brigitte something special.

The blood of the gods was not given away in vain, and it was good.

"Vampires never do anything to force others." Eli smiled and replied, "It's my pleasure that you're satisfied." ”

As he spoke, the sound of fighting outside stopped, and a few seconds later, Andrew and Brigitte returned.

Andrew stopped beside Ryan, greatsword behind him.

Brigitte stopped in front of Ryan, her weapon broken in two, and the outcome of the challenge was clear at a glance.

Ryan took out the parchment scroll from the spatial ring, slightly modified it with the contract pen on it, and handed the contract scroll to Brigitte, "Sign the contract and go back to my territory with me." If you change your mind within 30 years, you can come to me at any time when you go or stay. ”

There are a few more requirements on the parchment of the contract, but it is nothing to Brigitte, the most important thing is not to reveal Ryan's identity, etc., whether she leaves early or not, she has to forget the memories of Orlan.

Brigitte took the parchment roll, glanced at Eli with a little surprise after reading it, and quickly signed her name at the end.

Although Eli brought Brigitte to meet Ryan, Eli did not mention much information about Ryan with the other Sword Saints when he was in the clan before, and Brigitte only mentioned the Lich and Andrew, and promised her some things.

Although Eli's vampire clan has many Juggernauts, he knows everyone's personalities, and only Brigitte echoes Ryan's request.

Ryan retrieved the parchment scroll, took out the magic circle of the staff condensed and teleported, and led Andrew and them back to Oran through time and space.

Eli was entrusted with leading Brigitte to get acquainted with Oran, Ryan asked about the system time, and Andrew found Vader and Heras and went to the forest with them.

*

The mountain giants were still piling up the mountains, and Deminus, Narivaš, and the Night Elves had planted the plants that Deminus and Andrew had brought back yesterday in the right places.

In front of the Elven Mother Tree, Starred was praying, and when the tips of the leaves of the Tree of Life shone green in the light, Starred opened his eyes and used his mental power to control the crystal ball to levitate at his side.

Ryan landed from the sky with a black skeleton in his arms and Andrew with a white skeleton in his arms.

"Good day. Dear Lord Lane, Mr. Andrew, Mr. Vader. ”

Starred bowed his head and looked at the roots of the ancient tree that lived in symbiosis with the vines, "Living up to your expectations, Deminus and I have succeeded in making this dream fruit much more effective with the help of the power of the Tree of Life. ”

Starred: "After a little while, when the petals around the fruit fall, the dream fruit will ripen." Dream fruit is best eaten when it is ripe, otherwise the effect will diminish over time. ”

"Thank you very much."

Ryan took a few steps closer and placed Vader on the ground in his arms.

The petals around the fruit have begun to become transparent and emit an indescribably sweet smell, and the color of the fruit has begun to light from the aurora to the aurora, which is a sign of the ripening of the fruit of the dream.

Although Vader was a skeleton, he could also smell the scent of the Dream Fruit, looking at the fruit in front of him, the black skull turned to look at Ryan, pointed at the Dream Fruit with his thin right arm, and then pointed his finger at himself, looking up at Ryan and making a 'click' sound, which meant that this fruit was precious, more precious than any fruit he had eaten before.

"Don't worry."

Ryan half-crouched on the ground and met the soul fire in Vader's eyes, "The most suitable eater of this dream fruit is you." ”

'Click. ’

[Thank you.] ］

Vader didn't know why, but he bowed politely to Ryan, and when he got up, the soul fire in his eyes looked at Ryan and Andrew in turn, including Heras in Andrew's arms, and Starred on the side.

I want to share the precious fruit together.

"The current Heras is not good, he can't absorb the power of the Dream Fruit, and it won't do him any good."

Ryan chuckled softly, "There are other foods in Heras, don't worry. Dream fruit can make you stronger, including us, if you feel uncomfortable please let me know. ”

Vader nodded, 'Click. ’

[Thank you.] ］

The little black skeleton's movements were extremely serious, and Ryan couldn't help but sigh in his mind, "Lord, Vader must have been an extremely popular cleric before. ”

System: "It's really popular. ”

"So what?" Ryan: "Was he the prince of the City of Light before he became a skeleton?" ”

System: "Guess? ”

"It's too hard to guess." Ryan sighed softly, "Anything feels possible." ”

Andrew placed the White Skull Hellas on the ground, and when he turned his head, he saw the Dream Dragon flying in.

The Dream Dragon transformed into a palm-sized purple young dragon, flapped its dragon wings and flexibly hovered beside Ryan, pointing the dragon claw on its right arm at the Dream Fruit, and let out a well-behaved dragon moan towards Ryan.

It's just that the Dream Dragon is too special, and even if you don't use magic, you feel drowsy just by hearing the call.

Ryan caught the Dream Dragon, couldn't help but yawn with his other hand over his mouth, looked at Dream Fruit and asked, "Are you also interested in this?" ”

Vader also looked up at the Dream Dragon.

His ideas are simple and shared together.

The Dream Dragon covered its mouth with its claws and shook its head, then separated the claws after a few seconds, pointing at Vader and Dream Fruit at the same time, tilting its head and raising its horns, looking at Ryan with eyes like purple stars.

Ryan vaguely understood what he meant, "Can you help Vader better absorb the Dream Fruit?" ”

The Dream Dragon nodded and pointed its claws at Ryan, then at his arm, spitting out purple mist that condensed into the shape of a staff.

Ryan took out the staff with a feeling, and the sunlight in the sky suddenly became brighter, and with a gust of wind, the color of the petals around the dream fruit was transparent at the same time, like a crystal like a cicada's wings, falling with the wind and shattering into countless shining powders.

Ryan and the others looked down at the roots of the tree at the same time, and the color of the dream fruit began to shine with the sun, bursting into a more intense and wonderful sweet smell, instantly enveloping the entire forest, and expanding with the wind.

The smell is too good, and the glowing dream fruit makes people want to taste it.

Starred gripped the crystal ball, "The Dream Fruit is ripe. ”

Ryan let go of his staff and touched Vader's back, sending him forward.

Vader was also attracted by the smell of the Dream Fruit, and stopped in front of the Dream Fruit Tree a few steps, glanced back at Ryan, and saw that he nodded before opening his mouth and biting the Dream Fruit with his bones.

The Dream Fruit was as fragile as a cloud, and it shattered as soon as it was bitten by Vader's tooth bone, turning into juice and sliding down the skeleton's throat bone in an even more fantastical aroma.

The seed of light that had been placed in Vader's sternum had already been absorbed, and when the juice of the Dream Fruit was swallowed by Vader, in the empty sternum, the juice of the Dream Fruit condensed into a point of light in the heart, and small lines appeared on the bones of his whole body at the same time.

The Dream Fruit was not very large, and when the juice was swallowed completely, the surface of his bones cracked one after another.

Ryan immediately asked out loud, "Vader, do you feel uncomfortable?" ”

Vader shook his head at Ryan, snapping a bone fragment from the bone of his right arm that had broken first.

New bones were reshaping beneath the shattered bones, and Vader sat on the ground with a scarlet center of gravity, a sudden burst of holy light from the cracks in his body.

Ryan's eyes closed slightly, "Unity, the feeling of this light is somewhat familiar. ”

"Vader won't get hurt." System: "Meditation is recommended. ”

"Thank you."

Ryan floated cross-legged and glanced sideways at Andrew.

Andrew suddenly understood, put Heras forward, and sat on the ground casually, Starred also felt cross-legged in the air.

The Dream Dragon swung its tail and flew above Vader, and when he landed above Vader's head, all the bones of the black skeleton exploded, and the sacred and warm golden light spread for thousands of miles.
