Chapter 59: 59 Ruidar Main

Luoning opened the First Charge Interface, and as his will stirred, a burst of purple light suddenly emerged above his palm.

These rays of light enveloped the six Magic Crystals in his palm as if they were about to melt them.

Soon, cracks appeared on the Magic Crystals, and then they shattered, turning into powder, which then merged with the purple light before slowly disappearing.

Off to the side, Maiken and Aierlong watched Luoning's actions with suspicion and confusion, unable to understand what their master had done to these six expensive items to make them vanish in an instant.

In Luoning's line of sight, the reward on the First Charge Interface had changed to a claimable state.

Although he felt a great deal of heartache over this "squandering thousands of gold" behavior, the harvest was ultimately greater than the investment, making it completely worth it.

While using his thoughts to claim the First Recharge Reward, Luoning silently prayed in his heart that the Luxury Gift Pack within the rewards would bring him an extra surprise.

There was no help for it; the Knight in the rewards was predetermined, without much variability, so the only things he could look forward to were the items in the Luxury Gift Pack.

In an instant, the First Recharge Reward was claimed, and this interface slowly dissipated from Luoning's field of vision.

From this point on, of the five interfaces of his golden finger, only the Monthly Sign-in, Attribute Panel, and Achievement Master remained.

As the interface dissipated, two lines of text simultaneously appeared in Luoning's field of vision:

【Attribute Point +200】

【Energy Essence +400】

Luoning quickly scanned these two lines of numbers, a look of relief appearing on his face.

This gift pack truly did not live up to the word "Luxury"; compared to the Warm Heart Gift Pack from signing in and the Premium Gift Pack from the seven-day login, the rewards in the Luxury Gift Pack were extremely generous!

With 400 points of Energy Essence, it was enough to raise Maiken's level progress to Advanced Knight Peak; in this way, his Shanlin Town finally had a pillar of combat strength.

If he were to see Knight Feilidun of the Sain Territory again, Luoning would no longer need to be on pins and needles at all times, racking his brains to act for the other party.

While Luoning was grinning foolishly, a Magic Array Diagram identical to the one that summoned Maiken and Aierlong appeared on the empty floor in front of him.

Only this time, there was a slight difference: the light emitted from the Magic Array Diagram was purple with hints of gold, not only more brilliant than the original but also possessing a touch more nobility.

Seeing this scene, Maiken and Aierlong finally reacted; it turned out that this series of operations by the Lord was to summon new subordinates.

They were also looking forward to seeing what kind of person would emerge this time.

Just then, within the purple-gold light, a figure quietly appeared.

The man on the Magic Array Diagram had short, orange-red hair, which, under the sunlight projecting through the window, looked like dancing flames, illuminating his face.

His face was resolute with distinct features, and a pair of deep, sapphire-blue eyes flickered with a confident light.

His build was burly with sturdy muscles, and set off by his dark blue leather battle robe and the sharp greatsword on his back, he revealed his strength to the outside world.

Luoning was slightly stunned; compared to Maiken and Aierlong, the character summoned this time possessed a certain aura he couldn't quite describe.

And what surprised him most was that as he called up the other party's panel, he discovered that the initial level of the person before him was no longer Primary (0/100) or (0/150) like Maiken and Aierlong's, but rather—

【Ruidar Main】: Advanced Knight · Fire (300/300)

Luoning: "!!!"

The Knight before him was actually an Advanced Peak Knight, which completely exceeded Luoning's expectations.

One had to know, he had just been preparing to add all the 400 points of Energy Essence he had obtained to Maiken; even if the newcomer Ruidar had the Blazing Sun Aptitude, adding points at this stage would have to wait.

Who would have thought that the First Charge would bring him an extra surprise—Ruidar was directly an Advanced Peak.

And when he stared at the other party's level progress, he received a prompt regarding his confusion as to why they couldn't break through directly:

【Due to the restrictions of the Master-Servant Contract, the subordinate's maximum strength cannot exceed the master by one major rank.】

According to the Knight's cultivation process, the levels were divided into three major ranks:

The first stage is Reinforcing Dou Qi, divided into Primary, Intermediate, and Advanced;

The second stage is Casting Body and Strengthening Physique, divided into Bronze, Silver, and Gold;

The third stage is Breaking Wheels and Breaking Limits, divided into Meteor, Silver Moon, and Blazing Sun.

The mention here of not being able to exceed a major rank meant that Ruidar would only break through when Luoning himself broke through the first stage, and only then could Luoning add points for the other party.

This mechanism was the same as the card games Luoning made before he transmigrated, where the level of a card character could not exceed the account level.

Although there were restrictions, an Advanced Peak Knight was a rare combat force for any Baron Territory!

While Luoning was shocked by Ruidar's strength, the Magic Array Diagram slowly dissipated, and the room returned to its original colors.

The tall figure knelt on one knee, offering sincere greetings to his master: "I, Commander of the Flame Expeditionary Army, Ruidar Main, greet you, my master!"

Flame Expeditionary Army?

Luoning was full of question marks; what kind of army was this?

Moreover, Ruidar also called himself a Commander, which sounded like an extraordinary existence; could it be that this Knight with Blazing Sun Aptitude had an unknown backstory waiting for him to uncover?

The thought flashed by, and Luoning hurriedly helped the other party up, "Welcome, Knight Ruidar Main; with you here, Shanlin Town will become even more powerful!"

To the side, Maiken and Aierlong also nodded in greeting toward Ruidar; in some mysterious way, they always felt they had seen the other party before, but if they tried hard to think about it, they couldn't remember.

"You just said you were the Commander of the Flame Expeditionary Army; can you introduce to me what kind of army that is?"

Luoning asked the question in his heart directly.

Actually, he was still quite curious about the historical backgrounds of these three Transcendental beings who had been summoned.

Ruidar smiled slightly; he appeared relatively relaxed, which was quite different from when Maiken and Aierlong were first summoned.

The latter two were relatively more reserved, especially Maiken, whose expression had been quite serious at the time.

But the Knight Ruidar before him was different; in front of Luoning, he was quite relaxed.

This was not to say that Ruidar was disloyal to Luoning, or that he did not respect his master.

It was just that this Knight was very much like a subordinate in a high position; he had both loyalty and respect for his master, but at the same time, he could maintain his own style of conduct.

"My Lord, actually, I am not sure either~"

Ruidar shook his head, frowning in thought, "I only know fragmented information about my identity, but that is all."

Fine, it was still the same as with Maiken and Aierlong; Luoning had originally wanted to dig up a bit more information.

However, none of this was important; even if Ruidar and the others had an unknown historical experience, that was all in the past. Now, they were just Luoning's subordinates, the Knight and Magician of Shanlin Town.

"From now on, the three of you can have some good exchanges."

Luoning gestured for the three to sit around the round table, "Ruidar possesses Advanced Peak strength and is currently our greatest combat force."

Maiken could not help but look at this newly arrived Knight; sure enough, the aura emanating from the other party faintly revealed something extraordinary.

"Maiken, don't be anxious either; I will help you improve."

Since he could no longer add points for Ruidar, Luoning could only use the 400 points of Energy Essence on Maiken or Aierlong.

Although letting Aierlong also break through to Advanced would allow him to gain new Magic, considering the urgent need for combat power in Shanlin Town at present, Luoning still chose to raise Maiken's strength to the maximum first.

Without delay, he summoned Maiken's level panel and began to invest the Energy Essence.

In an instant, Maiken felt the power within his body surging like a tidal wave, boundless and intense!

【Maiken Salidun】: Advanced Knight - Earth (280/300)

Luoning once again felt the power of his golden finger; with this ability, breaking through was as easy as drinking water, incredibly satisfying.

He left 20 points of progress in Maiken's level, mainly to allow Maiken to improve through his own cultivation.

In this way, it not only ensured that Maiken's combat power would not be low, but also allowed Aierlong to receive a greater increase.

"Thank you, my Lord, for the bestowal!"

Maiken stood up, bowed solemnly to Luoning in gratitude, and at the same time, a hint of eagerness appeared in his eyes when he looked at Ruidar again.

"My Lord, I have also recalled a bit of memory," Maiken said suddenly.

Hm?

Luoning was stunned for a moment, "What memory?"

"My Lord, in this memory, I am the Regiment Commander of the Seventh Knight Order of the Flame Expeditionary Army."
