Chosen Evolution: I can load the protagonist template

Chapter 658 They charged forward, shouting about friendship and bonds.

[Bond Stone: Template Armor. Bracers, Accessories. Equipment Requirements: Monster Knight (Template/Class)]

The Bond Stone is proof of the bond between monsters and is also the most core item of the Monster Knight. When a monster and a knight form a bond, the Bond Stone can change the monster's form to a certain extent, allowing it to remain in the Bond Stone in a bond form when not necessary.

In theory, you can only form a bond contract with dragon eggs, but under certain specific conditions, you can also form a contract with a dragon that has already hatched.

Your current bond companion dragon is Crimson Deviljho.

The Bond Stone can store up to 6 "Companion Dragons", and currently 1/6 of the slots are in use.

You can summon up to two companion dragons in battle, which can fight on their own or you can issue specific battle commands.

You can forcibly swap the positions of your two companion dragons every minute.

You can release all your companion dragons when not in combat, but they will all be forcibly recalled immediately once you enter combat.

[Additional comment: They always come rushing in with slogans like love, justice, friendship, and proving the bond between us...]

Bond Stones, in simpler terms, are Pokémon Ball slots exclusive to Monster Hunter Stories. They can also hold a maximum of 6 Pokémon, but offer slightly more freedom in battles, leaning towards double battles.

Most importantly, in Monster Hunter Stories, the player as a knight can also participate in the battle, so theoretically, the Monster Knight starts the game as a three-on-one brawl.

Although they are generally weaker than hunters in terms of combat strength, monster riders do have an advantage when outnumbered.

In Cheng Tian's view, anyone can become a hunter as long as they are willing to train, dare to fight, and have courage. Even if they can't climb to a higher position, it's not a big deal to stay in the lower ranks. After all, in any world, there will always be people who do some low-level jobs.

But for the Cavaliers, it's purely about talent.

Those who can form bonds with monsters are the ones who can become knights. Those who cannot form bonds will find it useless no matter how hard they try; the monsters will still attack them without giving them any face.

With monster bonds, even if you're so bad that you can only bond with the Dog Dragon King, you're still stronger than a low-level hunter. The starting point is the end point for many hunters.

Perhaps this is the root cause of the great purge that occurred between hunters and knights back then.

During the game "Cadillacs & Dinosaurs", Cheng Tian established a bond with Crimson through the Night Parade of Demons. After obtaining the Monster Rider template, Crimson Deviljho, who had been longing for Cheng Tian, ​​did not hesitate to form a bond contract with him and became Cheng Tian's first companion.

Unlike the War Elephant Mammoth, Crimson Tyrannosaurus Rex, and Primal Pteranodon, the Crimson Deviljho belongs to an independent pet system.

Cheng Tian's move startled the guard hunter, but it made him even more hesitant.

The Deviljho has indeed disappeared, but the problem is that its reappearance has become even more uncontrollable!

Letting Cheng Tian in is one thing, not letting him in is another.

"What? Am I not a member of the fifth investigation team? Is this how you Starry Sky treat your colleagues?"

Knowing that the other party was in a dilemma, Cheng took a step forward and continued to put pressure on the other party with words and actions.

"Hahahaha!!! How could that be? The gates of our Starry Sky are always open for you!" A series of hearty laughs, which could also subconsciously evoke the image of a powerful and ferocious beast, came from behind the guard.

A strong man with hair as wild and tall as a Saiyan's, muscles beneath his bronze skin gleaming in the sunlight, and a row of exceptionally white teeth strode in.

Cheng Tian could clearly sense that the man before him possessed an extremely strong divine radiance, mixed with only a small amount of contamination.

It seems that the setting has been changed to lean towards the redemption faction.

"I belong to the first generation of the New World Ancient Dragon Investigation Team. Everyone calls me the Captain. You can call me that directly too."

The commander, who resembled a golden lion in human form, slammed his large, fan-like hand down on Cheng Tian's shoulder.

"I've already heard from the members about the unexpected incidents you encountered at the landing point. Thank you all for your hard work. However, with the recent rampage of ancient dragons and monsters, everyone is very busy and we can't spare any more people to help you with the welcome dinner. Also, I'm afraid everyone will need to get back to work immediately. Please bear with us."

Faced with the open and honest guild leader, the NPC hunters who were there to support the work and the players who were mainly there to complete the quests had almost no negative feelings.

Monster Hunter is known for having a lot of side quests, and you basically don't need to look for them yourself. Just go to the guild and find the exclusive counter to accept the quests. There are so many quests that most players can accept at least one. It's like a dungeon-limited version of the Chosen Space Quest Center.

Normally, to trigger the main quest, you need to complete a series of prerequisite side quests, which cannot be completed by a few teams of players in a short time. However, the current quest is being completed based on the overall progress of the faction. With the current number of players, it is estimated that the subsequent investigation of the ancient dragon will be triggered soon.

Even without doing quests, simply exploring the new continent can yield various resources and expose you to unexpected bosses like the Crimson Deviljho.

"However, I suggest that if you want to do the mission, you should carefully study the information about the recent anomalies in the New World. If you don't know enough about this, your mission is likely to fail."

The Grand Master then offered his own suggestion, which was clearly about the temporary skill of Redemption and Sacrifice.

Most players were noncommittal about this, after all, they all had their own opinions, and even if you know more, can you know more than we do with the skill effect descriptions that come with them?
"Hey, you can't leave, we still have things to talk about."

Just as Cheng Tian was preparing to follow the crowd and run away, leading his men straight into the Ancient Tree Forest, the Grand Master's claws exerted force, leaving Cheng Tian in place.

"What's going on?"

"It's very simple, I just want you to join our purification faction and take the path of redemption."

The commander, who had no ulterior motives whatsoever, stated his intentions directly.

But at that moment, a rather elegant, yet inexplicably gloomy voice interrupted.

"Commander, that's a bit unethical of you. He should have the right to make his own choice."

As the other party finished speaking, the commander's expression changed drastically, and he squeezed out a sentence through gritted teeth.

"Merlin! Go back to your Avalon!"
