Chapter 203: Beyond the Secret Techniques - Secrets (Two chapters in one)
"It's too late. Even if we contact them now, it will take at least five days for someone to come. Then it will be too late." Majis shook his head and said.
However, the words of the confidant gave Majis an inspiration.
But he was not thinking about rescuing, but assassinating!
After a little thought, Majis' eyes flickered, and then he took out a black, round medicine the size of a fingernail from his arms and handed it over, and said to his confidant: "Grind this thing and find a way to put it in his healing medicine."
"Parix's injuries are so serious that he must be treated a little before he can be tortured." Majis said with certainty.
In the past two years, he has seen a lot of such things in prison, and he is experienced.
The confidant's eyes suddenly widened twice, looking at the pill in front of him with horror!
Of course he knew what this was. This was an extremely deadly poison, which was used by these spies to commit suicide when they were in desperate situations.
Although he didn't know how effective this drug would be on the Great Knight, he believed that the seriously injured Parricks would definitely not be able to withstand the effects of this drug and would most likely die immediately!
The key point was that he didn't expect that he had just opened his mouth to suggest a rescue, but the boss asked him to assassinate the other party!
The
confidant stammered twice, and he chose to ask the confusion in his heart: "Sir, do you really want to torture the Brigadier General? He is a great knight in the organization!"
Magis immediately shook his head like a rattle and said, "No! It doesn't matter whether he is a great knight now! He is a bomb that may explode at any time."
"Once our Brigadier General can't stand the torture, then, whether you, me or other people in Mayest County, will be caught by the empire."
The confidant was stunned for a while, then his eyes lit up, and he looked at Magis with an extremely admiring expression, and gestured a thumbs up, saying:
"Sir, this is your decisiveness!"
Magis continued:
"In addition, I will report to the organization immediately! It's true that Paricks is a great knight, but he is only at the first level of strength, equivalent to a formal knight in the knight level. And this time, I will apply to the organization to directly send a senior great knight to come and must eradicate Ryan, the cancer!"
"I have a hunch that if we don't get rid of this guy, he will sooner or later become a major concern for the organization!"
The confidant also nodded and echoed: "You are right, sir! This Ryan has caused such a great loss to the organization. I believe the organization will definitely regard him as a thorn in its side."
"As long as the organization still has ideas about Mayest County, it will definitely support your decision and send someone over!"
-
It was dawn.
Ryan's new mansion.
Since it was very late when the battle ended yesterday, Ryan went to bed soon after returning to his room.
As soon as he got up this morning, Ryan began to conduct a preliminary review of last night's battle.
Only by constantly reflecting and summarizing can we continue to make progress!
Ryan recalled that in his battle with Brigadier General Paricks of the rebels, the most impressive thing for him was naturally the last axe used by the other party.
At that time, the Force on the axe blade was condensed as if it were real, and the lethality was extremely strong!
This trick seems to be a very exquisite combination of the Force and combat skills.
Different from the attack of the Great Sword Master, this is more of a combination of the Force and combat skills, mobilizing a large amount of Force to participate. It seems that only the Great Knight has enough Force to launch such an attack.
The Great Sword Master focuses more on faith and combat skills, and the Force is second.
Unfortunately, Ryan did not learn this content from Master Gunther.
Moreover, he did not have the introduction of the move performed by Paricks, otherwise, with his master-level combat skills, he should be able to initially explore the hidden doorway.
In addition, the effectiveness of the advanced knight armor began to gradually manifest.
If he was only wearing a set of chrome iron suits at the time, then obviously, his injuries would definitely be much more serious.
Now with the blocking of the advanced knight plate armor, his body itself needs to bear much less damage.
Stacked armor will never go out of style!
For him, it is nothing more than dealing with the balance between the weight of the armor and the speed of movement.
Finally, Ryan felt that fighting across a large class always carries a high risk, so he still has to move to the next level as soon as possible.
Because from this battle, with his current strength, it should be said that he has exceeded the upper limit of the peak knight. If you insist on counting, perhaps it is more appropriate to call him a quasi-grand knight.
In addition, he is also a third-level wizard apprentice. Although he is "self-taught", his combat effectiveness is questionable, but even so, with the combination of the two, he was only able to defeat the opponent after suffering a minor injury.
If it were another peak knight, he would almost certainly lose!
Of course, for the battle last night, Ryan also thought clearly why he chose to confront head-on.
Even if the brigadier general of the rebels was a little stronger, Ryan thought he could deal with it.
He put the witchcraft scroll "Summon Hurricane" in his arms. If he really couldn't win, he would decisively cast this witchcraft scroll. At the same time, he also had a healing scroll "Life Bloom".
These two scrolls are regarded as Ryan's two trump cards.
So this is one of the reasons why Ryan has the confidence to choose to fight against the enemy at the level of the Great Knight.
The biggest confidence, of course, comes from his system.
However, these two witchcraft scrolls are disposable items. After using them, he currently has no channel to replenish them. In other words, one less is one less.
After the review, Ryan turned his thoughts to the last two skill points.
He had a preliminary plan for how to obtain the next two skill points.
For one thing, Ryan planned to gradually increase his wizard apprentice (supernormal) professional experience points by practicing basic meditation and witchcraft every day.
Ryan calculated that the remaining 500 experience points would take about ten days, which was inseparable from the greatly enhanced endurance after his mental power continued to improve.
In the past, after he cast a few witchcrafts in a row, his mental power was close to the edge of exhaustion.
As for the last skill point, Ryan planned to try to make a wisdom potion first to see how it would work for the tamer's professional experience. After all, he had already prepared the materials.
Do it when you think of it.
Ryan walked out of the room and soon came to the potion room next to it. This potion room was actually similar to the utility room when Ryan was in the town of Shining Gold.
Some time ago, he asked the beautiful woman to help purchase some common glassware such as beakers, etc., for some not very complicated potion making, which was enough for the time being.
Before making it, Ryan was still very serious. He read the production process of the wisdom potion in the "Beast Taming Diary" again:
". The first step is to weigh and record a plant of starfish grass, and grind it into powder."
After a while, Ryan began to follow the production process of the wisdom potion and proceed to the first step - preparing the starfish grass solution.
In this step, it is necessary to grind the starfish grass into powder, add distilled water, dilute and filter, and then get the starfish grass solution. The whole process is not difficult. Ryan weighed a plant of starfish grass and crushed it with a wooden pestle.
After a few minutes, Ryan looked at the light green liquid in the transparent test tube and nodded.
Because of the improvement of mental power, the first step can be very simple for Ryan.
Step 2.
Step 3.
Ryan looked at the green reagent in the glass test tube in his hand, which kept bubbling, and nodded with satisfaction.
Success at one time! Not bad!
At this time, the system refreshed a row of prompts:
[You have made a wisdom potion, and the relevant comprehension has improved! 】
【You have learned a new skill - Wisdom Potion Making】
【Your skill Wisdom Potion Making has been improved, experience +30】
【You focus on Wisdom Potion Making, your Tamer (Super) professional experience +22】
Huh?
22 points, this experience is not bad, it is even higher than the previous Mutation Growth Potion.
After several attempts, Ryan was basically sure.
He could get about 20 experience points for each successful Wisdom Potion. If he made all ten, it means that he could get nearly 200 experience points for the Tamer professional experience.
In addition, for the Tamer profession, subsequent breeding is also a source of experience.
Ryan roughly estimated that he could get about 500 points of Tamer (Super) professional experience through this Wisdom Potion.
There is still a clear gap from the 2,000 experience points required for upgrading.
This made Ryan frown slightly.
"The main medicine 'Starfish Grass' is not available in the Bat Market."
Just as Ryan was thinking about a solution, a knock on the door sounded.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
"Baron, there is a captain of the Night Watch coming to visit you at the door of the mansion. He said his name is Matteo." A male servant came to report.
Hey, Matteo?
Ryan immediately raised his eyebrows. He has always had a good impression of Matteo. He is careful and efficient in doing things. Thinking about it, it has been a while since he last saw him.
"Please ask him to come in!"
Soon, a short but thin man walked into the room.
"Matteo, why are you in the county town? Come, just in time to have breakfast with me." Ryan looked up at Matteo and said with a smile.
"Baron, don't bother with breakfast. Entrusted by Lord Hamilton, I have to rush to the prison later. As a representative of the Night Watch, I will jointly interrogate the brigadier general of the rebels with the prison."
Matteo waved his hand embarrassedly.
Ryan nodded. He knew that Matteo was good at interrogation. He didn't expect Hamilton to transfer him from Shimmering Gold so quickly.
"Lord Ryan, this is what Lord Hamilton asked me to give you. It was found on the rebel brigadier general. It should have been your trophy."
"Oh?" Ryan raised his eyebrows and took the yellowish parchment scroll handed to him by the short Matteo.
"We found this thing in the lining of the knight's plate armor after stripping off the brigadier general's knight's plate armor." Matteo said proudly.
He discovered this with his sharp eyes.
"Lord Ryan, you smashed the opponent's armor too badly. We spent a lot of effort but couldn't remove the opponent's armor that was already mixed with flesh and blood."
"In the end, we still found two blacksmiths to use giant iron shears to help us remove the knight's armor from the opponent." Matteo gestured with his hands, showing how they struggled to strip the armor last night.
This made Ryan laugh.
"I didn't think it through. I should have split his armor before handing him over to you."
"That way, you can save some trouble."
However, Ryan thought again. If he used a greatsword to split the opponent's knight's plate armor, he probably wouldn't have obtained this extraordinary fighting skill.
After all, if the place was hidden in a hidden lining, he probably wouldn't have searched for the spoils so carefully.
"Originally, a prison interrogator took a fancy to your thing, but I stopped him on the spot! He was quite indignant, and I immediately asked him, do you know who captured this great knight of the rebels? It was Baron Hammer!"
"When he heard that it was a lord, the interrogator dared not say a word." Matteo was very proud when he said this.
Ryan was from their Night's Watch.
And even though Ryan was promoted to baron, his attitude towards them, the Night's Watch, was still the same as before, which touched them very much.
Ryan smiled slightly, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Thoughtful! Matteo!"
After Matteo left, Ryan returned to the study and opened the parchment scroll with a little curiosity. He saw a few big words "Locken's One-Handed Axe Combat Skill Outline" at the top.
Ryan took a quick look and found that this was a very good axe-shield combination of extraordinary combat skills. A large part of it described the use of a one-handed axe, and also described many shield defense techniques.
And most importantly, it also contained the "Locken Axe Skill Secret - Flash Cut".
After reading its description, Ryan suddenly realized that this was the secret.
Ryan had heard Master Gunther mention the concept of the secret, but he had never seen the power of the real secret.
The secret is the ultimate blow that can be unleashed by combining the Force of the Great Knight with the master-level combat skills.
Ryan recalled that the brigadier general of the rebel army named Paricks did not seem to have fully mastered this secret at that time. The reason was that the Locken Axe Skill that the other party practiced was at most a half-step master.
If you want to describe it in one word, it is that the power of the other party's axe can only be considered a quasi-secret, but not a real secret.
But the power of the quasi-secret, at present, has exceeded the upper limit of the power of the hammer technique he used, the 'Earth-Splitting Hammer'.
Although it seems that the difference is not big, you have to know that his Tokkar Hammer Skill is at the master level, plus the lv3 hammer expertise. It can be said that Ryan's Earth-Splitting Hammer Secret Skill completely exceeds the upper limit of the knight-level secret skills.
It is conceivable that if the opponent's axe skills really reached the master level, he might not necessarily lose, but he would definitely be more seriously injured.
Although this extraordinary combat skill is very good, for Ryan at present, he will not choose to practice it.
Those two skill points are his top priority at the moment.
"Dongdongdong!"
"Come in."
"Dear, this is the essence of the giant beast sent by Master Holander." The beautiful woman said with a worried look on her face while handing Ryan a brown wooden box.
"Hmm? Jennifer, you don't look very happy." Ryan keenly noticed that the beautiful woman's eyebrows were slightly frowned, and after taking the wooden box, he immediately asked.
The beautiful woman glanced down at the wooden box in Ryan's hand, then looked up again, looking at Ryan with her beautiful eyes, and said:
"According to Master Holander, although this beast essence has been successfully made, its medicinal effect may be the lowest among all beast essences."
"So, dear, why don't you wait a little longer? We still have sufficient funds now. I plan to ask the Axon Auction House to help me purchase a bottle of high-quality beast essence in the imperial capital in a while." The beautiful woman slowly narrated.
When Ryan heard this, he took the beautiful woman's white hands, patted them, and comforted her:
"Don't worry, Jennifer, the Great Knight is not a problem for me."
"The matter of purchasing high-quality beast essence is not very meaningful to me."
"As for the specific reason. Uh. You can understand that I am very close to the Great Knight. I can successfully break through with any bottle of beast essence."
Although he made a lot of money in the bets before the bloody duel.
But the betting part, the principal was mostly contributed by the beautiful woman, and now it seems that a large part of the profits have been used on him, such as the purchase of ice iron ingots, mithril ingots, etc.
Now, the beautiful woman also has to help him purchase high-quality giant beast essence, which not only consumes her previous betting profits, but also costs a lot of money.
"Huh? Honey, you didn't lie to me?" The beautiful woman looked surprised, after all, it was the first time she heard of Ryan's statement.
"Of course!" Ryan nodded.
After the beautiful woman left, Ryan thought about it, put away the wooden box containing the second portion of the giant beast essence, and continued to invest in the production of wisdom potions.
Two hours later, Ryan used up all the materials. A total of ten wisdom potions were made, nine of which were successful, and one of them accidentally failed, but the success rate was still as high as 90%. After
the production was completed, Ryan naturally wanted to experiment with the effect, but it was not suitable because the greyhound 'Cookie' was seriously injured.
After thinking about it, Ryan took a wisdom potion and came to the stable in the backyard of the mansion.
"Good day, Baron." A middle-aged male servant saw Ryan coming to the stable and immediately bowed respectfully.
He knew this male servant, who was the groom in charge of the stables in his mansion, raising and taking care of the horses.
"How is 'Black Pearl'?" Ryan asked casually.
'Black Pearl' is the black warhorse. Since Ryan has been adding mutation growth potions to its feed about two months ago, its body has become increasingly strong and tall.
As for why it was named 'Black Pearl', you can refer to the origin of the greyhound 'Cookie'.
This is the name given by my sister Mint. I have to say that this naming is still an improvement over the greyhound.
"My lord, 'Black Pearl' seems to have grown stronger recently. His appetite is really amazing now. He eats a bag of high-quality concentrated feed or grass in one meal, which is almost three times the amount of food that an ordinary warhorse eats."
"Well, you've worked hard. If you want the horse to run, you have to let it eat enough!" Ryan said with a smile.
"Everything else is normal. By the way, it seems that it doesn't like being locked in the stable. It prefers to walk outside, so sometimes it has a bad temper." The groom reported.
Ryan nodded. Indeed, he hadn't ridden it out for a while.
The field in the backyard can only allow horses to move around a little, far from being able to run around freely.
Ryan looked up and saw that the black horse at this moment was completely different from the other ordinary horses beside it.
It was a standard tall horse with shiny black fur. When it walked casually, you could easily see the strong and muscular blocks under the skin.
It is no exaggeration to say that among the seven or eight war horses, it was a standout.
Ryan compared it carefully. If the ordinary war horses in the stable were about 1.4 to 1.5 meters tall, then the black horse's shoulder height had reached 1.8 meters.
Note that this is the shoulder height. If you count the neck and the horse head, the total height of "Black Pearl" exceeds 2.2 meters.
Obviously, such a drastic change can no longer be described as getting stronger.
The reason is that after taking the mutation growth potion for two consecutive months, the black horse has undergone some kind of mutation, and its body has been completely transformed.
Because if it is just muscle gain or loss, the horse's skeleton will not change, but at this moment, the black horse's bones have changed in thickness and appearance.
Seeing Ryan coming over, the black horse whinnied twice, snorted twice, and rubbed the palm of Ryan's outstretched hand with its forehead.
Obviously, Black Pearl was very happy about Ryan's arrival.
Ryan touched Black Pearl's head, took out the wisdom potion in his hand, and poured it into the concentrated feed in the trough.
As the light green bubbling liquid flowed out, Black Pearl first sniffed it, then whinnied, and began to chew it in big mouthfuls, seeming to like the taste.
A minute later, the system prompt refreshed:
[You feed the warhorse with concentrated feed mixed with the secret medicine wisdom potion, and the relevant comprehension is slightly improved! ]
[Your skill of animal taming is improved, experience value +45]
[Your animal tamer (super) professional experience +22]
Ryan nodded with satisfaction, and looked at the animal tamer (super) profession, which has reached level 5 (348/2000).
However, the Wisdom Potion and the Mutation Growth Potion are used in different ways.
Only one bottle of the Wisdom Potion is needed to slowly take effect on the pet, and it does not need to be taken continuously for two months like the Mutation Growth Potion.
This means that Ryan can only gain feeding experience from one pet once, but he currently only has two pets.
This is partly because he did not put too much energy into the Tamer (Supernatural) before, and secondly, it is still unknown whether there is an upper limit on the number of pets a Tamer can have.
Recalling the previous limit on the number of career panels, the system waited until Ryan had the number of career panels (3/3) before prompting: The total number of panels has reached the current upper limit.
Later, after he entered the Knight (Supernatural), the number of career panels was expanded by one, reaching (4/4).
Therefore, Ryan speculated that the number of pets a Tamer can have should also be limited. Without a particularly suitable pet, he did not intend to adopt a pet at will.
At this time, a male servant walked over quickly and bowed to Ryan, saying,
"Baron, there is a cavalry team outside the door, among which there is a beautiful female officer, she said her name is Marika."
Eh?
How could she be here?
Ryan immediately remembered the beautiful female major in navy uniform with a graceful figure.
It should be the task force of the Sixth Fleet mentioned by Count Habsburg last time. I didn't expect it to be so fast?
Ryan raised his eyebrows and said, "Okay, I'll be there right away."
When Ryan came to the front yard, he found that a cavalry team had been led into the front yard. In front of the cavalry, the beautiful woman Jennifer was smiling and receiving Major Marika Morales in navy uniform.
What was more striking was that there was a girl with twin ponytails wearing a light blue robe next to Marika, who seemed not much older than Jenny in terms of age.
"Baron, I was just about to ask Major Marika and her group to wait for you in the reception room." The beautiful woman said with a smile.
"Baron Ryan, long time no see." Seeing Ryan appear, Marika's eyes lit up and she smiled and greeted him.
She didn't expect that after not seeing him for a while, the young man was now more sturdy and tall, and at the same time, he also revealed a faint aristocratic temperament.
This transformation seemed a little too fast.
"Major Marika, long time no see." Ryan smiled and nodded.
"Sir Ryan, this is Veronica Meyer, a disciple of Master Enius, the advisor of the Imperial South Sea Fleet. As a third-level wizard apprentice of the Ubrek School, Veronica specializes in bird transformation and is also the liaison officer of this task force."
Ryan was stunned when he heard this.
Huh?
Ubrek School? It should be a wizard school.
Ryan raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that this girl with twin ponytails would be a third-level wizard apprentice. This was really beyond his expectation.
But then Ryan suddenly understood.
Because he recalled that Adams' diary recorded the fact that a formal wizard served as an advisor to the Duke of the Empire.
Sure enough, the imperial high-ranking officials did not regard wizards as a scourge, but as a kind of help.
"Hello, Miss Veronica." Ryan bowed slightly.
"Baron Ryan, I have heard of your name for a long time." Veronica's voice was surprisingly a rare baby voice.
At this moment, there was a sound of flapping wings in the sky, and at the same time, a black shadow swooped down from the sky.
Ryan's pupils shrank, and he immediately grasped the hilt of the greatsword behind him with his right hand.
"Sir Ryan, wait."
"Hmm?"
"This is a specially modified white seagull, it is here to send us a message." Veronica shouted immediately.
A white seagull that was two circles larger than an ordinary seagull flapped its wings and flew to Veronica's outstretched arm.
At this time, Ryan discovered that Veronica's right forearm, covered by her blue robe, was wearing a tubular brown leather sheath, which should be used as a foothold for the bird's claws when landing.
Ryan raised his eyebrows.
A specially modified white seagull?
Is it witchcraft or the effect of some secret medicine?
But no matter from which angle, it seems to be very suitable for me to keep as a pet.
Unfortunately, the white seagull is still a little weak. If it is a bird of prey, it would be a very good choice.
However, if I get another bird of prey like an eagle,
wouldn’t it be like "holding a blue bird on the left and a yellow bird on the right"?
Veronica quickly recited a spell in her mouth, and she stared at the white seagull without moving her eyes. After a few seconds, she said:
"Major Marika, Baron Ryan, Major General Silva said that the fleet has left the port and is expected to arrive in the waters near Mayest County in three days."
