The legendary warrior novel Chapter 226

When speaking about the Royal Sky Guard, the two people clearly had a sense of pride in their tone.

"The Royal Sky Guard? You mean the legendary Royal Sky Guard? Are you two actually guards of the famous Sky Manor?" After taking in their words, Ricky bombarded them with questions.

"Ha-ha, Russell, you are so smart. We are guards of the Sky Manor, and we are under the leadership of the Sky Manor's Chief. There should be 36 guards in our manor, and up until now, there are only 35. Our numbers are Guard 34 and Guard 35 respectively," Tyson replied with a smile.

'My god! They are really from Sky Manor. If they invite me to join the Royal Sky Guard, it will be hard for me to make the decision one way or another, ' Ricky thought and was caught in a dilemma.

He had no objection to joining any sort of force, but he did not want to join a strong force such as the Sky Manor, a force of innate spirit, because the human skin mask on his face was likely to be detected by an innate spiritual king like the Chief of the Sky Manor. Then, his true identity would be exposed.

Once his identity was found out, the consequences could be disastrous.

"Guard 34? Guard 35? Tyson, do you mind telling me more details about it?" Ricky asked with curiosity.

"The Chief of the Sky Manor is a powerful middle spiritual king. In addition to pursuing strength, our chief also respects geniuses and has attracted a lot of them to join the Royal Sky Guard established by our chief," Tyson said slowly.

"Within our Royal Sky Guard, our chief only wants to recruit 36 people. Those 36 people must be geniuses."

After a pause, he continued, "The 36 geniuses are then divided into 12 teams. There are three members in each of those teams. They then receive tasks from the Chief. After completing the task, the members will be rewarded accordingly."

"Currently, the Royal Sky Guards have 35 people and have been divided into eleven teams," Tyson added.

"If I haven't guessed it wrong, you're the remaining two geniuses who haven't formed a 3-member team!" Ricky said confidently.

"Russell, you are right. Kristen and I are the remaining two who haven't formed a team, so I came to you today to invite you to join the Royal Sky Guard and form a team with us," Tyson said sincerely.

"Moreover, I don't think it conflicts with your skill training, because accepting the tasks of our chief will have a better training effect on you anyway!"

"Thank you for your invitation, but I don't think I am qualified to join the Royal Sky Guard." Ricky refused his offer and shook his head slightly.

"Russell, if a genius like you is not qualified to join the Royal Sky Guard, then all us other 35 guards really should be fired immediately," Tyson said and laughed.

"Is that really so? Then, does that mean that you two can make the decision now?" Ricky asked immediately as he obviously found out more hidden information from Tyson's words.

"This time, our chief has given us three tasks. The first, of course, is to find the last member for our Royal Sky Guard group. As long as both Kristen and I think that the person is qualified to join us, then he can join us without asking for our chief's permission," Tyson said proudly.

"That is to say, as long as I accept your invitation, I can definitely be one of your members and there's no need to meet your chief?" Ricky asked in a low voice.

"Yes, you are right!" Tyson nodded. "And you can follow us to complete the next task we have right away."

Hearing what Tyson had said, Ricky felt his previous worry slowly go away. Now that he didn't need to meet the chief face-to-face, he had a greater interest in joining them.

Yet, he had to be cautious in joining any organization due to his current identity. With more doubts to be clarified, after a little consideration, he asked seriously, "Tyson, I want to know more details; after joining the Royal Sky Guard, what kind of responsibility will I have to assume? What kind of constraints are there on its members?"

"Of course, there are some responsibilities as one of our members. When Sky Manor is threatened, or when Sky Manor's interests are damaged, we have to offer help if necessary. Of course, after helping solve the troubles, you will be rewarded according to your contribution to the situation," Tyson said honestly.

"As for constraints, I don't think there are any of them, because whenever our chief delivers a task, we can choose to accept it or refuse it. If you refuse it, you will not be blamed or punished. When we are not undertaking a task, we are all free to do anything we like."

"Well, if that's the case, then it would be so cool to join!" Ricky said and nodded slightly. Despite it sounding like such a good deal, Ricky was still apprehensive. Tyson immediately knew that Ricky still had some concerns.

"Russell, before I joined the Royal Sky Guard, I was as cautious as you are now. However, after joining it, I only have one feeling—I am glad that I chose to join it!" Tyson continued his persuasion with a trace of wheedling in his tone when he detected Ricky's hesitation.

"Russell, that's how I felt too!" Kristen said sincerely, luring Ricky to join them.

Hearing their persuasive words, Ricky laughed aloud and said jokingly, "Ha-ha, you two are obviously luring me to join you!" After a small pause, he continued, "I am wondering what the consequences would be if I refused to join you."

"Russell, have your heard the saying, 'A mountain does not allow for the co-existence of two tigers'? It means that geniuses from one force definitely cannot tolerate the existence of geniuses from another force." Kristen didn't answer his question directly but implied the repercussions.

"What's more, the Royal Sky Guard is supposed to be a top secret organization and should not be known to anyone outside of the Sky Manor," Kristen added seriously.

"So, that means I have no more reason to refuse your invitation!" Ricky said in a bit of a helpless tone.

Although he didn't have to meet the chief of the Sky Manor, and had a little interest in joining the Sky Royal Guard, he was still afraid to join deep down in his heart. He was afraid just because he was not Russell, but actually Ricky, who had been known to the people of the whole Realm of Wildness.

Also, he did not doubt what Kristen had told him. He was sure that if he refused, the next moment the two guards would kill him without any mercy.

They had to because they had told him too many important secrets of the Sky Manor.

They even implicitly mentioned that the Royal Sky Guard was a secret organization to him.

The moment he knew about it, he was doomed to have only two choices. One of his choices was to join, and the other was to refuse to join and be killed.

"Russell, we believe you will make the right choice. Based on what we have witnessed in Water Fire City, we appreciate your talents very much and sincerely want to be your friends and comrades," Tyson said honestly, smiling again.

'Tyson, though looking simple and honest, is actually quite shrewd and determined. It is probably safe to say that anyone who can join the Royal Sky Guard is sure not to be simple-minded!' Ricky's mind was racing wildly.

The next moment, Ricky said directly, "All right! I'm in!"

As they had explained everything to him, he had no other choice.

"Ha-ha, then our twelfth team welcomes you, Russell!" Tyson said immediately. Hearing Ricky agree to join their team, he was beaming and very excited. Next to Tyson, Kristen also nodded slightly.

"Thank you. As I am a newcomer, I might need your guidance and help, so please forgive me if I bring you any trouble in the near future," Ricky said.

Then Tyson took a black bag out of his inner pocket. It was a storage bag.

"Is that a legendary storage bag?" Ricky asked curiously.

"Yes, and it's for you!" Tyson said as he handed the storage bag to Ricky. "Inside the bag, there are a thousand gold coins and a piece of a jade token to use as a symbol of the Royal Sky Guard."

After receiving the storage bag, Ricky immediately exercised his mind to get into the bag and explore it. He then saw a thousand gold coins and a white jade token, just as Tyson said. The token was made of some unknown material and it had four words etched on it, 'Sky Manor, on the front and 'Guard 36' on the back.

"So, this jade token will be my identity token, right?" Ricky asked at once.

"Yes, your identity will be the 36th Guard. The gold coins and the storage bag are your rewards for joining the Royal Sky Guard. In the future, you will have to take your own staff to Sky Manor to exchange rewards," Tyson explained carefully.

"Thank you! Wow, Sky Manor is really quite generous. This storage bag alone is worth thousands of gold coins. Sky Manor, as a force of innate spirit, really lives up to its reputation!" Ricky said and laughed as he completely accepted his new identity as a member of the Royal Sky Guard at last.

"So next, I'm going to tell you the second task that our chief assigned to us. Whether you accept it or not is totally up to you," Kristen stated now that Ricky was an official member of their team.
