Chapter 265: The Warlock (Two chapters in one)

In a manor in Wales County.

"Master Priest, just now, we received an urgent message from Master Bloodstained." A Black Flame monk said respectfully to a slender woman in black robes.

"Oh? Is it a letter from Master Laxul? Bring it over for me to see."

"As you wish, sir." The Black Flame monk handed over a slightly curled letter.

A slender hand that was too white and bloodless stretched out, took the letter, and lifted the hood to check it.

At this time, the face in the hood was revealed. It was a young woman with a charming face, especially the other party's dark brown eyes and the makeup around it that looked like black eyeshadow. It seemed to exude a special charm that attracted people to sink.

This charming young woman was the Black Flame Cult's chief priest in Wales County - Galina Birkin.

As she opened her thin lips, she whispered:

". Count Habsburg's daughter Claire and her group are passing through Welsh County to Meister with a certain amount of powerful guards around them."

". Capture them alive"

"There is an insider in the team. The other team should camp in the woods between the towns of Colmar and Eze tonight."

After reading it, Galina looked thoughtful, and at the same time handed the opened letter to her subordinates, as if to let them take a look.

A few minutes later, Galina said:

"Since it is Lord Laxul's request, we naturally have to cooperate."

"Contact this insider to see where they are and determine where they will camp tonight.

"By the way, how strong is this earl's daughter? Are there any special masters around her? This must be investigated clearly."

"Since we are doing it, we must do it beautifully!"

"Yes, Master Priest. "

The black-robed subordinates slowly retreated.

At this time, Galina showed a smile, and she whispered:

"'Illusion' combined with the 'Exploding Black Flame' newly bestowed by the great God of Hunting. This new killer move of mine happened to be recently trained, so it's a good opportunity to try it out in actual combat. "

I hope the enemy this time is a bit interesting."

Galina was originally a third-level wizard apprentice specializing in illusion, but due to limited talent, after trying her best to obtain the atomization mixture, she failed to successfully break through to a formal wizard, and her strength was greatly damaged.

This gradually distorted her mentality, and coupled with the instigation of Laxul, Galina turned to become a believer of Rune, the god of hunting, a few years ago.

Galina, who joined the Black Flame Cult, performed extremely well in several missions, which made her gain the favor of the God of Hunting in the Black Flame prayers and sacrifices. Not only did Galina successfully break through to a wizard, but she also became a sorcerer.

The sorcerer, in addition to a part of the power that comes from his own witchcraft, more of it comes from the gift of the gods he serves. This kind of effect is like witchcraft, but it is more evil and weird. It is classified as sorcery by orthodoxy.

And all those who use the sorcery power bestowed by the evil god can be collectively referred to as sorcerers.

"Wait, the Protestant training in the province of Munster is being held here. We can call them all to watch."

"It can be used as a training exercise, and it can also make them more resolute in their belief that the empire is on the decline, and more proactively embrace our Lord." Galina stopped her subordinate who was about to leave and said.

"As you command, Master Priest." The Black Flame Monk bowed again and turned away.

——Welsh

County.

A temporary camp on the side of the road.

Ryan took a closer look and found that almost all of the conditions for his promotion to the 'King of Thousand Blades' were not met at present.

The only one that has been met at present is the Bear King Breathing Method.

This also seems to indicate from the side that, in fact, his breathing method level is already high enough, but the time he has stepped into the extraordinary path is too short, so the effect of the breathing method has not been fully reflected.

This is also normal.

The improvement of the body by the breathing method is a continuous and slow change. Normally, an ordinary person who wants to step into the formal knight needs several years of breathing method practice to enhance physical fitness.

But Ryan immediately thought of another point.

Since he can also add points to his body attributes, the effect is even less obvious. It is very likely that when there is an immediate improvement, the points will be added.

For example, because of the effect of the breathing method, Ryan will soon face the improvement of strength or physique, but he has added points to his strength or physique at this time, so naturally, the improvement effect brought by the breathing method is covered by the added points. To

put it another way, if a person already has the physical fitness of a great knight, then practicing the entry-level breathing method will basically have no effect, or it will be negligible.

In addition, do you need nine mysteries?

Fortunately, it is not nine different types of weapons.

If there are nine mysteries, this is difficult for others, but it is not bad for me, because I have mastered five of them.

Seeing Ryan standing there in a daze, Claire thought that Ryan was shocked by the legend of the ancient troll race'King of Thousand Blades', so she joked:

"Ryan, you say, you don't have the blood of the ancient trolls, otherwise, why are you proficient in so many weapons and extraordinary combat skills? "

Looking at Claire's obviously teasing face, Ryan couldn't help but be stunned, but he was in a good mood. He shrugged and responded with a smile:

"This... shouldn't be."

In fact, at this time, Ryan thought that after so many years, there shouldn't be any troll blood in the pair of ancient troll fangs absorbed by the beast priest!

At this moment, he is naturally still a complete human being!

Since the Arcadia Sword Art had already reached level 1 (12/100), Ryan was about to ask Claire to continue.

At this time, the head maid Shadiya came over, looked at Claire and Ryan who were chatting and laughing, and smiled and bowed, saying: "Miss, Lord Ryan, lunch is ready."

Claire and Ryan were enjoying lunch in the carriage.

Although they were in the wilderness, the head maid still prepared butter, white bread, grilled steak, etc. very considerately.

"Ryan, after lunch, we will continue our journey. There is a manor under the name of Viscount Selyr about ten kilometers ahead from the county town of Welsh County. According to the agreement, we will meet there."

"Okay, Miss Claire."

"Viscount Selyr was once an old subordinate of my father and has always been on good terms with the Habsburg family. This time he sent a cavalry team led by two peak knights, with nearly ten senior knights and three teams of elite cavalry, which is considered a strong support."

Although Ryan had some doubts, he still nodded and did not ask.

Don't you have the power of a great knight?

For Mayest County, the peak knights are considered good players, but they are far from being masters.

In other words, even if they have a certain effect, it will only slightly improve the situation, but it will not play a big role, let alone play a decisive role.

This made Ryan understand the dilemma that the Habsburg family is currently facing.

Come to think of it, if it weren't for this, Claire would not have come to him.

Through the carriage window, Ryan saw that the greyhound war dog 'Cookie' and the trotting wildebeest 'Little Black' were also well taken care of by the maid Shadiya, and were feasting on the side.

As for the blood-feathered horned eagle beast 'Blood Feather', it would find food on its own, so Ryan didn't need to worry about it.

After lunch, the group continued their journey. About two hours later, the group arrived near the Seril Manor.

When they were still a few kilometers away from the manor, Ryan actually saw a large group of cavalry and knights gathering at the gate of the manor from a distance.

Huh?

This number is more than Claire said.

Moreover, the strength is much stronger.

Especially the noble standing at the front of the team, who was guarded by two great knights.

This surprised Ryan.

But Claire was even more surprised. She muttered to herself, "Huh? Why is Earl Rodlin here too? Didn't he say... there's this annoying guy..."

"Ryan, Shadiya, wait for me in the carriage." Claire seemed to be concerned about something and didn't let Ryan get off with her.

As the team got closer, Claire quickly got off the carriage out of courtesy, bowed slightly to Earl Rodlin, and said, "Earl Rodlin, why are you here?"

"Hello, Viscount Cecil!" Claire greeted the middle-aged man with thick eyebrows beside her, and Cecil quickly returned the greeting.

"Niece Claire, long time no see, you're getting more and more beautiful!" Earl Rodlin laughed.

"Thank you for your compliment."

"Claire" When Claire got off the carriage, a young man who looked quite similar to Earl Rodlin immediately stepped forward eagerly.

It seemed that the other party wanted to hold Claire's hand and kiss her hand!

However, for unmarried women, kissing hands is not a very polite behavior.

Claire's face changed immediately, and she immediately dodged the other party's outstretched hand, which made the young man embarrassed and had to put down his hand and said, "Claire, long time no see."

"Rachel, hello." Claire's face was cold.

At this time, Earl Rodlin tried to smooth things over for his youngest son and said, "Ahem."

"Claire, in fact, Rachel cares about you very much. He has been telling me that he wants to send people to support you, but you also know that the situation in Wales County is also quite turbulent."

At this point, the young man named Rachel straightened his chest and looked at Claire with an affectionate look.

"I think, Claire, you know that Rachel has always liked you. If you can agree to Rachel's proposal and our two families marry, then even if the situation in Mayest is dangerous, our Rodlin family will not hesitate."

When he said the last four words, Count Rodlin's voice suddenly became high-pitched, full of a righteous momentum.

At this time, Ryan heard the maid Shadiya beside him whispering angrily:

"Too shameless! It's really hateful! The Rodlin family doesn't even think about who helped them quell the rebellion of the family knights ten years ago!"

"Now, they are taking advantage of the situation and want the young lady to marry this Rachel who is obsessed with hooking up with women!"

After hearing Shadiya's words, Ryan immediately understood the plan of Count Rodlin even if he didn't understand the situation.

This guy actually took advantage of the situation and wanted Claire to agree to his son's proposal before sending the reinforcements behind him.

Now, whether it was the big knight beside him or the group of knights and cavalry behind him, it was like bait, tempting Claire to agree.

However, as the daughter of Earl Habsburg, Claire was naturally familiar with the tricks of some nobles, and she could see through the other party's thoughts immediately.

Claire's face changed slightly and she refused, "Earl Rodlin, I'm really sorry, I really don't have any feelings for Rachel. Since the situation in Wales County is also quite turbulent, let's not discuss the reinforcements."

"Goodbye first."

"Wait!" Rodlin did not expect Claire to refuse so decisively, without even considering it.

He first looked at his disappointing son with hatred, then turned to look at Claire's tight and exquisite figure, and said with a hint of greed:

"Niece Claire, the current situation in Meister is too turbulent. As your elder, from the perspective of protecting you, I think it is better for you to stay in Wales County and wait for the situation to stabilize before returning."

Rodlin waved his hand without waiting for Claire to answer.

Suddenly, the two great knights behind him walked quickly towards Claire from the left and right sides, and it seemed that they wanted to put Claire under house arrest.

This made Claire's face suddenly change, and her pretty face froze, and she said: "Earl Rodlin, you are too much! Do you still want to detain me?"

"No, no, dear niece Claire, I just want to protect your safety. Even if Earl Habsburg knew, I believe he would not blame me." Rodlin shook his head proudly.

Rachel, who was standing by, couldn't help but blush with excitement when she saw this scene. She said, "Father, this should have happened a long time ago."

Viscount Seril, who was standing by, looked ugly and said, "Count Rodlin, aren't you going too far by doing this? After all, Count Habsburg..."

"Ceril, you have to understand that you are just a viscount. Do you still have to teach me, the Count, how to do things?" Count Rodlin looked at Seril with displeasure and said.

At this time, Ryan in the carriage naturally couldn't stand it!

Damn it, this time he saw the ugly faces of some nobles. He never thought that such a dirty thing, which was even more disgusting than kicking someone when he was down, could be done!

What a scumbag!

When the two-meter-tall black-haired young man in silver high-level knight armor walked down from Claire's carriage, the two knights who had originally looked relaxed instantly froze and tensed up, as

if they were facing a great enemy! The two of them stopped in their tracks.

Ryan looked relaxed, walked up, took her warm little hand, and pulled Claire behind him, saying, "Miss Claire, let me handle this."

Claire, whose hand was held by Ryan, instinctively pulled her hand away, but it didn't move at all, which made her face slightly red.

However, she looked at Ryan's tall figure and didn't say anything. Instead, she felt relieved!

When she saw a handsome young man getting off Claire's carriage, Rachel's eyes changed suddenly, and she shouted, "Who are you? How come you are on Claire's carriage!"

"Claire, I didn't expect you to be such a slut!"

This immediately changed Ryan's face!

"Swoosh!" Ryan disappeared on the spot!

"Be careful!" The two knights were about to stop him, but it was too late.

The next second!

"Pah!"

Rachel was slapped by Ryan and immediately fell to the ground, like a radish planted in the ground, with a little blood and more than a dozen teeth scattered on the ground.

In fact, if you look closely, you can find that Rachel's entire mouth has been slapped crooked, and her face, which was barely handsome, is now disfigured.

Ryan's lightning-fast action made everyone around him change their faces!

Obviously, this black-haired young man is also a great knight, and from the perspective of strength, it seems that he is stronger than the two great knights of the Earl of Rodlin's family.

The two great knights looked at each other.

The next second!

The two of them attacked Ryan from the left and right!

However, neither of them drew their weapons, and it seemed that there was still some room for maneuver.

"Be careful!" Claire shouted.

Ryan's face did not change, and he turned around and kicked the ground, and a deep pit was suddenly stepped out on the ground.

With the power of this kick, Ryan was as fast as lightning, and took the lead to the left and punched with his right fist!

"Bang!"

Ryan's punch hit the knight's abdomen, but he seemed to consider something and instantly retracted his strength.

But the force was still too strong, and the opponent's knight's breastplate was immediately broken into pieces, and the whole person was folded in half, his eyes bulged, and his hands and feet were stretched straight forward, like a folded paper!

"Bang!"

Immediately afterwards, Ryan turned around again, punched his left fist to the right, and another figure immediately suffered the same situation as the previous knight, more than twice as fast as the one who just rushed over, and flew backwards!

The two knights hit the horses on the side, and the crowd was immediately in a panic.

The two war horses that were directly hit instantly broke their tendons and bones and died on the spot!

Seeing Ryan's power!

Even a fool would know that Ryan was not simple. He

defeated two official knights with just two punches.

"Who are you? Do you know the consequences of attacking an imperial noble?" Count Rodlin seemed to be afraid of being attacked by Ryan, and stood there without daring to move. However, the injuries of his son and his men forced him to question with a sullen face.

"This is my guardian knight, Lord Ryan." Claire walked forward slowly and said.

"Even if he is a guardian knight, can he attack a noble?" Rodlin pointed at his son, who had half of his teeth pulled out, and said angrily with a victim's look.

"Want to make trouble for me? You are welcome at any time!" Ryan took out the golden emblem of the Imperial Sword Bearer and shook it in front of Rodlin.

"Sword Bearer!"

"Gold level!" Rodlin's face suddenly changed!

"You are so young, how can you be a gold level sword bearer!"

"You are welcome to complain to the Sword Bearer Munster Branch." Ryan waved his hand casually, and walked away with Claire without looking back.

"Those two knights." Claire asked in a low voice.

"It's okay, don't worry, they won't die. The other party didn't draw their weapons, so I will naturally show mercy." Ryan explained to Claire.

Just now, Ryan used the newly realized intermediate secret of Kadar boxing, "Heavy Punch Combo", but it came to an abrupt end. He punched one person at a time and still held back his strength.

Seeing that he was completely helpless against the other party, Earl Rodlin said bitterly: "Let's go!"

The people behind him helped the two seriously injured knights and Rachel, whose head was buzzing from the beating, and hurried away.

At this time, Viscount Selyel, who was still at the scene, shouted to Claire: "Miss Claire, please wait. We will go to Meister with you. You know what happened just now. After all, I am in Wales County, so..."

Claire smiled slightly, turned around and said: "Viscount Selyel, I understand, and you are welcome to join us."

She knew that Viscount Selyel was also forced by the situation, after all, they were in Wales County. If he offended Count Rodlin, his life would be difficult. Among the nobles, it was rare for the other party to remain neutral and not embarrass her just now.

As a result, the whole team became much larger.

In terms of strength, there is no longer a gap.

In addition to Ryan, the "senior knight", there are two more peak knights, a group of senior knights and dozens of cavalry.

At the same time.

In a manor somewhere in Wales County.

"How is it, where is the other team, and how is the news investigation?" Seeing the subordinates coming in, Galina flicked her slender fingernails and asked casually.

"Master Priest, the other party is just as we expected, and is now heading towards the town of Colma. But..."

"But what?"

"The daughter of Count Habsburg is likely to be protected by a senior knight." Immediately, the Black Flame Monk told the insider about what happened at the gate of the Seril Manor in detail.

"Two official Grand Knights were knocked down with just two punches. I'm afraid the opponent's strength is not that of an ordinary senior Grand Knight." After listening to the report from her subordinates, Galina

's face condensed and she thought. However, she didn't look worried at all, but instead had an expression of eagerness to try.

"It is very likely that they are masters who have truly mastered the secrets. Otherwise, based on their physical fitness, it is impossible for a senior Grand Knight to kill two official Grand Knights in a second."

"Haha, interesting, they should be very good test subjects!" Galina smiled charmingly and stood up.

After all, if the opponent is too weak, she won't even have the desire to use her trump card

. However, Galina suddenly found that her subordinates who had finished reporting did not leave, so she asked in confusion: "Why, do you have anything else to report?"

"The insider said that the other party showed a golden emblem before leaving. Judging from Earl Rodlin's attitude at the time, he was very afraid. Moreover, he also said something about a golden-level sword holder?"

"But this news is not 100% accurate, because the insider stood a little far away and didn't hear it very clearly at the time."

"What?" This made Galina's face change!

"Gold-level sword holder."

Galina naturally knew what a golden-level sword holder meant.

The imperial sword holders have always been the object of fear for these non-orthodox churches.

Because the sword holders are not only powerful, but also often act in teams, cooperate tacitly, and are very difficult to deal with.

If the opponent is golden-level, then

the task given by Laxul this time seems to be not easy at all!

"Is the opponent a person?" Galina asked.

"Yes, sir, it is clear that the other party is a person!"

This made Galina feel relieved.

One person and a squad are naturally not a difficult enemy.

Even if it is a gold-level sword holder, if it is just one person, she is still very confident that she can win. After all, the other party is a gold-level sword holder who is on the path of knight.

There are still many ways to deal with it.

But to be on the safe side,

"How is the assembly of that thing?" Galina turned to ask her subordinates.

"Master Priest, are you talking about the big guy that the church put here for experiments? Now it is almost assembled, and it is almost ready for the prayer ceremony and activation." The black-robed subordinate reported.

"Let the craftsmen speed up the progress, I will use it tonight!"

"This, although dozens of craftsmen are working overtime, but... tonight, I am afraid it may not be in time, Master Priest."

"Haha, killing a craftsman, isn't it in time?" Galina smiled evilly.

This immediately made the black-robed subordinate's heart tremble, and he bowed his head and said respectfully: "Master Priest, I will do it right away."

Looking at the subordinate who left in a panic, Galina nodded with satisfaction!

With that thing, there should be no accidents tonight.
