Chapter 102 But There Is One Condition

As for the few attribute points brought by the upgrade, Ryan always kept them in reserve according to convention.

As for the skill points, Ryan had not figured out where to use them for a while.

So, he kept them and did not use them.

As Lagre finished the last step, she handed a two-handed sword emitting a faint glow to Ryan.

When Ryan saw the brand new sword, he felt at first glance that it was like the "laser sword" in Star Wars in his previous life, except that it was not so bright.

But the amazing thing was that after Ryan took over the sword and swung it a few times, the sword that originally emitted a faint glow gradually became silent.

It seemed that the originally dazzling glowstone began to gradually restrain its light after being integrated into the fine steel sword, but if you look closely, you will find that on the blade, there are three layers of waves, which are extremely bright and still emit a faint glow.

Because of the incorporation of pyroxene and star iron, the weight of the greatsword has obviously become heavier, but it may also be because some impurities have been removed during the recasting. Generally speaking, the difference is not too big.

And with Ryan's growing strength, this weight of the greatsword is just right in his hand.

In addition, he can clearly feel that the greatsword is different from before. It is not only sharper, but there seems to be something else in it.

"Ryan, are you wondering why the light of the pyroxene weapon is gradually disappearing?" Lagre noticed Ryan's surprise and asked proactively.

"It is indeed very strange." Ryan nodded.

"The pyroxene weapon will only emit the faint light just now when it encounters evil, and it does not appear at other times. Of course, it will appear for a short time when it is successfully forged." Lagre explained.

"By the way, Ryan, don't you name your greatsword? This is a pyroxene weapon!!" Boris on the side saw that the two seemed to be ready to leave, so he couldn't help but interrupted.

When Lagre heard this, she nodded and agreed, "The pyroxene weapon is indeed worthy of a separate name."

Ryan thought for a long time, but he had to admit that he was a 'bad at naming'. In the end, he thought of a name.

"Well, why not call it the Glimmering Greatsword?"

Boris slapped his forehead and looked speechless.

But unexpectedly, Lagre nodded, as if he really thought it was not bad, and said, "Not bad, but you can change a word a little, Glimmering Greatsword, what do you think, Ryan?"

"Good name!" Ryan couldn't help but praise.

And the blacksmith Boris was looking at the two of them speechlessly at this time, mumbling twice, but never saying it out loud.

In fact, he was roaring in his heart, shouldn't this kind of name be accompanied by his own name, so that it can be passed down through the ages? Then at least it should be named "Ryan's Sword" or "Ryan's Exorcist Greatsword" or something like that!

What a pity, if it was made by myself, it would be better, otherwise it must be named "Boris's Sword".

After solemnly wrapping the ‘Glimmering Giant Sword’ in soft sheepskin, Ryan and Lagre bid farewell to the blacksmith Boris.

At this time, the sun had just passed directly above the sky, and it was about one o’clock in the afternoon.

Ryan only felt the hunger coming from his stomach at this time. He had been focusing on forging new weapons before and almost missed lunch.

Because Lagre’s appearance and dress were too distinctive, Ryan chose to take Lagre home to solve the lunch problem.

On the way, Ryan thought of something, turned his head and looked at the bandage on Lagre’s wrist, and said apologetically.

“Sorry, Lagre, let you do it this time”

But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lagre.

“Ryan, you saved my life. I helped you forge a weapon, which is far from enough to repay you. You don’t need to say sorry.” Lagre’s deep blue eyes stared at Ryan and said seriously.

Lagre’s words made Ryan stunned.

Soon, Ryan came to his senses and realized why Lagre said that.

That was because he thought he and Lagre were already friends. Forging the Glimmering Giant Sword was a manifestation of friendship between friends, but in Lagre's view, it was a way to repay his life-saving grace.

Ryan thought that this topic could not be discussed anymore. If he continued to talk about it, he felt like he was asking for a favor.

After thinking about it, Ryan turned and asked, "Lagre, what are your plans for the future?"

"I want to get back my brother and other people's weapons. If I can find their remains, it would be great." Lagre showed yearning and regret.

There was no way not to regret it. The weapons might be found, but the remains were basically impossible. There were too many wild beasts and unknown monsters in the Night Song Forest.

In addition, even if she wanted to get back the weapons, it would be difficult for her to do it by herself.

"Why weapons?" Ryan asked puzzled.

"In the legends of our barbarians, weapons contain the souls of warriors. If you bring weapons back to the tribe, the souls of the warriors who died outside will return to Valhalla."

Ryan nodded, thought for a moment, and comforted: "It's not that there is no chance at all. Perhaps you will be able to realize this wish soon."

"The appearance of the Evil Knight has been reported to the county town and the church by Sheriff Hamilton in a timely manner. I think someone should come to Shining Gold Town soon and solve this problem."

Ryan has confidence in the official power of the empire. Otherwise, how can the empire maintain such a vast territory.

Ryan's words made Lagre's eyes regain some spirit. She pursed her lips and said, "Ryan, I heard from Anna that you are a night watchman in Shining Gold Town, and you are also familiar with Lord Hamilton. Can you do me a favor?"

Although Lagre has not said what kind of favor it is, Ryan has already guessed it in his heart.

"Do you want to go with the team from the county city to kill the evil knight and avenge your brother?" Ryan took the initiative to say.

"Yes!" Lagre nodded.

Ryan remained silent. He wanted to say that your brother risked his life to protect you and escape, not to see you, his sister, return to danger for him.

But Ryan knew that if Lagre didn't let her take revenge, she might live in the shadow of this incident forever, and it would take a long time for her to come out.

Of course, the most important thing is that if Lagre goes with the team from the county city this time, there should be a certain guarantee of safety.

So, Ryan nodded and said, "I promise you, I will accompany you to see Lord Hamilton in the afternoon, but I can't guarantee that he will agree. In addition, if it is a team from the county city, the commander will most likely not be Lord Hamilton."

"In other words, Lord Hamilton may not be able to decide anything."

Lagre nodded, hummed, and said nothing more.

After lunch.

The two came to Hamilton's office.

For Hamilton, he had long wanted to meet Lagre, the only survivor of the bounty hunter team, and learn more about the evil knight from her.

After a conversation, Lagre made her request.

However, after hearing Lagre's request, Hamilton frowned and said:

"Lagre, I regret and sympathize with your experience. At present, I don't know which gentleman came to the county city this time, so I can't guarantee that the other party will agree to let you go together."

"However, I will tell them to bring back the weapons of your brother and teammates. This should not be a big problem. Of course, if there are remains, they will also help to collect them."

"Thank you, Lord Hamilton." Lagre bowed slightly and said gratefully.

After the two left the office, Ryan said to Lagre: "I'm going to the training ground to practice archery for a while. Do you want to join me?"

"Okay!" It seems that after finishing the work, Lagre's mood has also improved a lot, and she has regained the lively temperament of a girl of eighteen or nineteen years old.

After the two came to the training ground, Ryan found that there were very few people in the field. That was because Hamilton issued an order to increase the alert, so almost all the night watchmen and security guards were mobilized.

When it came time to practice archery, Ryan discovered that Lagre's archery skills were far superior to his.

The bandage on the wristband was also untied by Lagre, leaving only a shallow mark on the opponent's wristband, showing the barbarian's physical fitness.

After practicing archery for a while, Lagre took the initiative to invite Ryan to compete in close combat skills, which made Ryan very happy.

He has never had a suitable person to compete with, and the object of "experience" has been temporarily vacant.

Lagre chose an oak shield and an ironwood axe. Ryan naturally would not use the "Glimmering Greatsword" behind him, but took the ironwood greatsword and stood on the field with Lagre.

Lagre hit the oak shield with the ironwood axe and said in a crisp voice: "Come on!"

"Then you have to be careful."

Ryan kicked his left foot and rushed towards Lagre quickly. When he was three meters away from Lagre, he jumped up and chopped down with a great sword from top to bottom.

It was the "jump slash" of the giant bear swordsmanship.

Just when Ryan thought that Lagre would definitely avoid Ryan's powerful jump slash, Lagre actually did not retreat but advanced, and at the same time jumped high, raised the round shield in her hand and took the initiative to meet the big sword.

"Bang!!"

The heavy sound of sword and shield clashing came, and Ryan in mid-air only felt a very strong recoil force coming from the big sword, and almost couldn't hold the hilt of the big sword in his hand.

Under the fierce attack of the shield, the whole person was shocked back several meters.

This made Ryan look at Lagre with a surprised face.

For "jump slash", it was the first time he encountered such a way to crack it.

"What's wrong? Ryan, are you surprised?" Lagre couldn't help but smile.

"If you encounter an opponent with similar strength and agility as you, the jump slash just now is not difficult to resist."

"Besides, I still have the shield I am most familiar with in my hand." Lagre raised the round shield and said.

In an instant, a flash of inspiration flashed through Ryan's mind.

He thought, why do I need to find a quartermaster to exchange for some shield combat skills? Isn't there a "master" of shield control in front of me!

I am so stupid!

I just remembered it now!

"Lagre, is this some kind of combat skill using shield defense? Can you teach me?" Ryan asked with a little expectation.

"Do you want to learn?" Lagre's expression was very strange when she heard Ryan's request, as if she had a mixture of memories, happiness, embarrassment and other emotions.

But the next second, her eyes were very firm.

I saw Lagre smiled and said, "Okay, but there is a condition!"
