Chapter 158 Dragonsworn Paladin
Northern Wind Castle, Council Hall.
Cassius lay on the huge iron throne, looking down at Fried who was kneeling on the ground, his voice was a little lazy.
"Fried, you are one of the seven knights of the Lionheart Knights, why did you choose to betray the Principality of Bosk and surrender to me?"
"Look at me, Fried."
"To survive, to gain more powerful power."
"Also to choose your own destiny."
After hesitating for a moment, Fried answered truthfully. He mustered up the courage to raise his head and looked directly into the golden vertical pupils of the red dragon.
After only a moment of silence, his heart was pounding and his back was soaked with sweat.
Finally, the red dragon's voice sounded again.
"Very good, you didn't lie, otherwise I would burn you to ashes."
"The Burning Kingdom needs ambitious people. As for loyalty. Ha, this is not a problem for me."
Cassius slowly stood up, put his head closer, and observed him carefully.
[Based on your own strength, you can observe the following information]
[Black Lion Knight-Fried]
Basic ability: Level 10 Lionheart Knight
Challenge level: 10 (5900xp)
Evaluation: The last of the seven knights of the "Lionheart Knights" of the Principality of Bosk. He is very good at sword and shield fighting skills and successfully became the knight commander with his outstanding performance in battle.
As expected of one of the seven knight commanders, although he lacks loyalty, his hard power is beyond doubt.
A level 10 Lionheart Knight can reach a high-level combat power level even in the Burning Kingdom, only slightly worse than the top combat power such as Rump and Doro.
It's just that his current state can't last long. [Lionheart Knight] is a sub-class of the camp derived from the [Crown Oath] Paladin. The moment he surrendered to the Red Dragon and betrayed the Duke he was loyal to, he betrayed the loyalty oath of the Lionheart Knight-a word must be kept. Without loyalty, oaths and laws will be meaningless.
In just a few days, the breaking of the Holy Oath will make him lose the power of the Lionheart Knight, and all the Holy Oath spells will be lost, turning him into a Oathbreaker similar to Medoraash.
The transformation of Fried is imminent.
And using the Bloodline Gift on such a high-level follower is a sure win, and there is rarely a failure.
And according to Kasius's experiment, his Bloodline Gift combined with the original profession can create a camp sub-profession unique to the Burning Kingdom, and even these professions can be given to players, making them die-hard fans of the Burning Kingdom.
The Lionheart Knights have very comprehensive abilities, and can play a great role in both positional warfare and encounters. Doro has long proposed that such an army is needed to cover the line infantry, and even the red dragon has been coveting it for a long time.
Kasius exhaled a breath of sulfur, with some expectation in his heart.
"Fried, this is your own choice. You will become a follower of the real dragon. Remember, you will completely break away from your past."
"Are you ready?"
"Yes, master."
Fried answered without hesitation.
After experiencing this battle with a huge gap in strength, he has understood the simplest point - those who resist this red dragon will not have a good end.
If he wants to save his life, he has no other choice.
"Then let's start."
Cassius narrowed his eyes slightly, and his body exuded a powerful, almost condensed dragon power, temporarily blinding Fried's external senses.
A drop of boiling blood was suspended in the air.
[Bloodline Gift]
In his plan, this new profession does not need to cooperate with dragon vein creatures, and to a certain extent takes into account the player's inclination, and the degree of dragonization is not as exaggerated as that of the Red Scale Conqueror.
But even so, the power of dragon blood is still not something that ordinary creatures can bear. There was even a player who was unlucky after buying a dragon blood potion, failed the physical test, and exploded and died directly.
The blood poured into Fried's mouth, and the violent elemental energy entered the body through the throat and gradually spread to the whole body.
"Ah——"
Fried groaned in pain, and his body was also undergoing drastic changes. His muscles became stronger, scales appeared on his cheeks and neck, and his eyes turned into golden vertical pupils.
His pores spewed out white smoke with a sulfur smell, and even faint sparks came out of his mouth and nose.
"Uh-ah——"
The smoke covered Fried's figure, and only his continuous wailing and a vague figure could be heard.
The figure struggled, rolled, and curled in the smoke.
Soon, a man with dragon vein characteristics emerged from the smoke-that was the current Fried.
If you ignore those scales that are difficult to conceal, his appearance is still not much different from the original, but his inner essence has undergone earth-shaking changes.
This is the dragon vein, the essence that can give creatures magic.
Fried knelt on the ground, struggling to open his eyes, feeling the powerful pressure of the red dragon in front of him, and the absolute suppression from the blood. The only thought was-surrender.
He finally understood why the red dragon didn't care about loyalty.
Because the bloodline is rough and simple, and the instinctive suppression power is far superior to the so-called chivalry.
For a moment, Fried even regretted finding a more powerful existence to restrain himself, but this thought only flashed through his mind and disappeared in an instant.
At this point, everything has lost its meaning.
He was once one of the seven knights of the Lionheart Knights, with the title of "Black Lion Knight".
But now, Fried only has one identity left - that is, a follower of the Red Dragon, a traitor who surrendered to the Burning Kingdom. He knew that he had lost his way back and could only cling to the thigh of the Burning Kingdom. Once his identity was exposed, Grand Duke Leo would only hunt him down madly and take his life at all costs.
Fried stretched his body and said with some discomfort:
"Master, thank you for your gift. I can feel that this power is very strong."
"Very good."
Casius looked at Fried who had obtained the dragon vein and browsed the panel with a slightly happy look.
He could feel Fried's thoughts and the regret of that moment, but it didn't matter. The strong bond of the blood gift was enough to wipe out all dissent, not to mention that he had been completely tied to the chariot of the Burning Kingdom.

Casius glanced at Fried, who was kneeling on the ground, thinking.
