Chapter 292 Defense Test (Two chapters in one)

But what frightened Brino even more was that.

Logically, her scream just now should have quickly attracted the attention of her family and servants.

But so far, she hadn't heard anyone talking or moving.

This made her more and more uneasy.

Brino planned to escape from the window. As long as she opened the window, she could... But

the next second, she was stunned.

Because she just looked up at the window.

The boy who was supposed to be on the corridor outside the door was now sitting on the windowsill, still holding the female puppet doll in his hand, staring at her blankly.

"Ah!!!"

-

At the same time.

The Sword Bearer Division.

Ryan quickly calculated in his mind while walking on the road.

"If you add points to the new witchcraft 'Metal Barrier' and upgrade it directly to level 2, the casting time should be reduced by about 20% from 3 seconds to 2.4 seconds."

"But 2.4 seconds is still too slow."

"If you add 2 skill points and reach level 3, it will be further reduced from 2.4 seconds to 1.9 seconds."

"And if you add 3 points, it will be level 4, and the casting time will be about 1.5 seconds."

"."

"If you add all 5 skill points, it will be level 6, uh, 1 second casting time."

"It can be optimized."

"That is, if you practice and first upgrade 'Metal Barrier' to level 2, and then add 5 skill points, it will be level 7, which means it only takes 0.8 seconds to cast!"

Ryan raised his eyebrows!

This casting time is basically quite practical, after all, the casting time is less than 1 second.

If this were placed in the hands of an ordinary wizard or wizard apprentice, it would probably take six or seven years of hard training, syllable compression exercises, etc. to reach this level of proficiency.

Of course, it would be best to continue to reduce the time and make it shorter!

"But for this, at least 5 more skill points are needed!"

Ryan glanced at the combat professions on the system panel. It was difficult to upgrade both the Warhammer Wizard (Legend) and the Weapon Master (Legend).

"It seems that at that time, I can only seek a career change, so that I can quickly gain skill points."

"Inscription?" Two words flashed through Ryan's mind.

Since Claire told him about learning inscriptions, he had thought about it and would find an inscription master as soon as possible to learn it.

"It is very likely that inscriptions are related to the subsequent job change of the armor forger."

While thinking, Ryan soon came to the training hall.

He remembered very clearly that the very proactive welcoming girl last time said very clearly that there was a witchcraft test room on the third floor, and the attack power test room on the second floor he went to before was mainly for testing extraordinary combat skills.

Soon, Ryan came to the third floor, and there was a door with the words "Witchcraft Power Test Room" written on the doorplate.

The door was open, and inside was a similar indoor training room with an area of ​​400 to 500 square meters, but the number of people was much less than that of the attack power test room on the second floor.

Yes, from the time Ryan joined the sword bearer assessment, the number of pure wizard apprentices accounted for less

than one-tenth. Even if those who also practiced the knight path were included, the total number would not exceed one-fifth.

Relatively speaking, within the Dragun Empire, there are much fewer people with wizard qualifications than those with good knight talents.

As for sword bearers or some special departments, why are there a large number of wizard apprentices and wizards?

That's because after layers of selection in the empire, these people with such qualifications are gathered together.

This is just like in Ryan's previous life, there was basically no one below the master's degree in the scientific research institute. The same reason.

There were seven or eight sword bearers wearing various wizard robes testing inside. Seeing the young Ryan standing at the door, they couldn't help but look back.

Ryan just scanned the room and walked out again.

He didn't really want to expose his super affinity for metal elements.

When he was in the test room before, he looked at the standard classification posted on the wall. Over 90 was considered super.

An affinity that is extremely rare in the largest fire and water systems.

Not to mention in the extremely small metal system.

The witchcraft power test is likely to expose the qualifications of the tester. After all, if the witchcraft power is very different under the same witchcraft and similar mental power, then the only difference is the qualifications.

Ryan came to the service desk and asked: "Excuse me, is there a single room in the witchcraft power test room here?"

"Yes, sir, but you need to pay extra energy consumption. Is this okay?"

"Yes." Ryan nodded. Although he didn't know what energy consumption was, he believed that he could afford it.

At the same time, Ryan handed over his crystal badge.

The young staff member opened her mouth slightly in surprise when she saw it, and immediately took it respectfully, saying, "Sir, please follow me."

Soon, Ryan followed the young staff member to a room on the left side of the corridor on the third floor, near the innermost part, and heard the girl say, "Sir, this is it."

As the girl opened the door, Ryan saw that the room was about 100 square meters in size, and there were several unique devices.

From left to right, there were two devices with multiple tubes similar to the Gatling shape, and the one in the middle was a device similar to the tennis ball launcher in his previous life.

On the far right is an attack tester similar to the one on the second floor, except that it is painted bright silver.

"Sir, this is probably your first time here, do you need me to introduce it to you?"

"Okay."

"Sir, these two are defense testers, a flamethrower and a torrent jet, which can spray flames and torrents. The power of a single hole is about ten degrees, and the maximum power test limit is eighty degrees."

The girl pointed to the "Gatling" device on the far left.

Ryan looked at it and asked, "Is there no other elemental damage, such as frost?"

"Uh, sorry, sir, there are only these two types in the branch."

Ryan nodded, the two are similar.

"Well, what about this one." Ryan pointed to the device in the middle.

"This is a short spear thrower, you can choose fast, medium, and slow." The girl introduced.

Short spear? That is to test physical attack power.

"By the way, sir, when you test the witchcraft defense, please proceed step by step. At the same time, you need to pay attention to safety and don't point your body's vital parts at the transmitter. There are reminders on the nameplate on the device." The girl added.

Ryan nodded and said, "The last one is to test the witchcraft attack power, right?"

"Yes, sir, if you have been to the attack power test room on the second floor, you should be able to see that the shape of this one is very similar to the device downstairs, but the surface is coated with this kind of magic silver that can greatly reduce energy damage."

"Magic silver?"

"Yes, sir, it is said to be a special metal that can greatly weaken energy attacks. I don't know the details." The girl introduced.

Ryan nodded and memorized this term in his mind.

He planned to go to the library later to check the relevant content.

"Okay, go and do your work, thank you."

"You're welcome, sir, then please pay attention to safety. Call me anytime." The girl bowed respectfully and left.

After thinking about it, Ryan began to test the first device.

Ryan first debugged the flame launcher. He planned to test the flame attack with two holes, that is, about 20 degrees.

As the red countdown light on the flame launcher turned on:

"3"

"2"

"1"

"Bang!"

Two flame beams spewed out from it and directly hit Ryan's hardened adamantium transformed kite shield.

Ryan took the 20-degree witchcraft attack steadily.

Then, it was three holes, four holes, and then five holes.

Even

if

Ryan blocked all three kite shields in front, it would melt in just a few seconds. Obviously, the upper limit of flame defense was reached.

"It's about 40 degrees of flame defense."

Then, Ryan began to experiment with the torrent jet.

Just now it was flame, and this one is a simulated water witchcraft "torrent impact".

This time, Ryan directly opened three holes for testing. Then, it was four holes and   five holes

.   "Huh, it can still withstand it?"   After many attempts, Ryan was surprised.   "It turns out that the defensive power of this witchcraft 'metal barrier' is related to the resistance of the metal sheet itself."   "The resistance of hardened gold to flames is average, but the resistance to water impact is quite good, so the difference in defense between the two is nearly 10 degrees."   "In that case."   Ryan seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes lit up slightly. ——Sword   Bearer Branch, in the mission hall.   Among the team waiting to hand in the mission, Evelyn with red hair is still beautiful, but the fatigue on her face can't be concealed.   She just returned from Rosby County to hand in the newcomer mission.   The situation in Rosby County is worse than she expected.   Her family, the Norman family, as the old viscount family of Rosby, suffered a lot in this turmoil.   In fact, the situation of the entire Rosby County is almost the same as that of Meister. The attack of the sea giants and the secret instigation of the Black Flame Cult have caused the living environment of Rosby County to plummet.   And this time, she has brought her mother and some young elites of the Norman family to the provincial capital of Munster.   This is also the final preparation made by the Norman family to avoid further deterioration of the situation and to deal with the worst possible outcome.

However, she was still very worried about her father.

As a feudal noble, Viscount Norman naturally could not leave Rosby County.

At this time, the team lined up Evelyn.

"Hello, how can I help you?" The young staff smiled and stood up.

"Hello, please help me hand in the bronze-level task 'Rosby City's transportation line'" Evelyn said, handing over the black iron badge.

"Okay, sir."

Although it was only the lowest-level black iron badge, the young staff would not be negligent because of this.

After all, although the black iron badge is of low level, it is also a transcendent, and it is also a sword-bearing sir!

There is a huge difference between ordinary people.

"Okay, sir, the bronze-level task 'Rosby City's transportation line' has been completed, and 150 merit points have been recorded in your badge."

Evelyn nodded, showing a relieved expression on her face.

Finally, the rookie task was completed!

These 150 merit points. It's not easy to earn!

Many new sword bearers were injured in this newbie mission.

She was lucky because she was a peak knight and a second-level wizard apprentice, so she often cast spells to assist, which was relatively less dangerous.

The Poseidon Cult was much more difficult to deal with than she expected.

If it weren't for this newbie mission, the instructor would have led the team, and I'm afraid the loss would have been even greater.

From this newbie mission, Evelyn found that although the sword bearers were treated very well, the danger level was not low.

Although most tasks have been evaluated, there are often changes. If you want to continue to complete them smoothly, the requirements for strength are almost harsh!

For example, Nereo behind her performed quite well. In this newbie mission, he killed a deacon of the Poseidon Cult.

According to the instructor, he should be able to get an additional reward of three bronze mission evaluation medals.

This means that the other party can directly advance to the silver-level sword bearer, and all aspects of treatment and the types of exchangeable items will be qualitatively improved.

"Sir, please wait a moment. I will help you change your badge?"

"Okay, thank you."

This time, the newbie mission was successfully completed. In addition to 150 merit points, the most important thing was that I became a formal sword bearer from a reserve sword bearer, which can be exchanged for a bronze badge.

It can be regarded as getting rid of the status of a "rookie" sword bearer.

However, it is only a status. There are still 1,000 points of loans from the student aid department.

"Sir, here, your gold badge." The female staff respectfully handed Evelyn a huge golden badge with both hands.

"Hmm?"

Evelyn's beautiful eyes widened, and she waved her hands repeatedly, refusing with certainty: "No, no! Are you mistaken? I should have a bronze badge!"

What is the concept of gold level?

That is the most elite group of people in the entire sword bearer branch.

Most of the sword bearers who have been in the branch for one or two years are also mostly silver level, and the gold level accounts for less than one-third.

Seeing that Evelyn's expression of denial was not fake, the female professional looked puzzled, looked at the name displayed on the badge again, and confirmed:

"Excuse me, you are Lady Evelyn Norman from Rosby County, right?"

"Yes." Evelyn nodded.

"That's right!"

"Coco. How could it be a gold badge?" Evelyn's brain was still in a state of shutdown, and she didn't understand at all.

"Well, the records show that you are a formal member of the 'Meist Siege Ram' team. When the captain, Sir Ryan, submitted the completion of the team's mission, he allocated you three silver medals and 2,000 merit points."

"So, that's right! You can be promoted to the gold level."

"What!" Evelyn was completely stunned!

What mission did Ryan complete?

And why was so much allocated to her?

Evelyn felt that her brain was completely insufficient.

In fact, when Ryan was handing in the task yesterday, he was asked by a female staff member how to divide the task evaluation medals and merit points. After thinking about it, he casually allocated a few silver evaluation medals that he didn't need much at the moment to Evelyn.

In Ryan's view, they were all in the same team, so it was a small favor, so he would help.

Because he remembered that Evelyn seemed to have borrowed 1,000 merit points that time, so he just helped.

As for the twin-tailed girl Veronica, Ryan naturally gave her more, after all, their relationship was much closer, so he casually allocated a gold evaluation medal and 5,000 merit points to her.

Nereo and another new sword-wielding person who were queuing behind Evelyn had their eyes wide open and looked dazed!

They were not far from Evelyn, only four or five meters away.

When Evelyn looked shocked, the two of them listened carefully to the side curiously.

When they heard with their own eyes that the task evaluation medals Ryan allocated to Evelyn could be promoted to gold level, they were extremely shocked!

Then Ryan is at least a gold-level sword-wielding captain!

Oh my god!

This news spread quickly among the new sword-wielding men!

On the second floor of the training building.

In the attack power test room, many great knight-level sword-wielding masters were testing in twos and threes.

"Captain Angus, have you heard? Sir Ryan has been promoted to a gold-level sword-wielding captain?" Vieri, who had just recovered from his injury, was doing rehabilitation training and said to Angus beside him.

"What? Gold level?" The resolute black-faced strong man said in surprise.

"Vieri, how did you know?"

"I heard it from a fellow villager of the Rock Team. The other party is also from Bobigny County, named Remiel. He just entered the formal wizard level two days ago. I heard about it during the dinner."

"So, Captain, do you think we should ask Mr. Ryan for help in the revenge of Chris and the other three?" Vieri was furious when he thought of his dead comrades!

Since the five of them were once affiliated with the military and had rich combat experience.

So unlike Evelyn and other newcomers, they were seconded by the military again, mainly responsible for the safety of the supply line from Wales County to Meister.

During an escort, they were ambushed by the Black Flame Church in Wales County. Although the transport team was successfully evacuated, they were almost unable to return!

Chris and the other three died at the hands of the other master. One of them was called "Bison" Bidals. The other knight's armor was very distinctive, with two sharp metal horns on each of the left and right shoulder armors.

The other one's name is unknown, but he is good at sorcery arrays. Five black flame fireballs reduced their number by one at the beginning!

"The opponent is very strong. Even if Lord Ryan can defeat him, I'm afraid he will take a big risk."

"Besides, if Lord Ryan takes action, Vieri, have you thought about the price you have to pay?"

"If Lord Ryan is willing to take the task of these two guys, Captain Angus, I am willing to become Lord Ryan's follower!" Vieri said in a deep voice.

He and Chris have a close relationship. This time, Chris's death was largely to save him!

Therefore, if there is a chance to take revenge, he is not willing to wait for a quarter of an hour.

Angus was silent when he heard Vieri's words!

He didn't think Vieri would be willing to pay such a price. You know, Knight Vieri is talented. If he wants to become a follower, I'm afraid the Marquis of the Empire will not refuse.

-

Munster, in the Ryan Mansion.

"Huh? Lord Ryan is back?" As soon as Jenny came back, she heard Mint talking about this happily, and she was surprised.

She turned to her mother Jennifer and said, "Mother, the problem you encountered this time can be solved by Lord Ryan."

"Yes." The beautiful woman, who had a sad face, was also quite surprised when she heard that Ryan was back.

Due to the turbulent situation in Meister, the sea trade routes from the Eagle Federation to the fishing port town were almost completely cut off, which forced Jennifer, the beautiful woman in charge of the Chamber of Commerce, to open up new business channels.

The problem she is facing now is not a problem at the business level.

Although Jennifer took the first step through Ryan's introduction last time, now with the expansion of her business, she has recently contacted several larger chambers of commerce.

The communication with the presidents of these chambers of commerce was not smooth. The other party was either explicit or implicit, saying that they wanted to cooperate?

Yes.

It's just that the beautiful woman needs to communicate with them in depth before they can cooperate normally.

Of course, they have also heard more or less that although this beautiful woman is a small baroness who moved from Meister, she seems to have an imperial sword bearer as a support behind her.

But unlike other county towns, Munster is the provincial capital and the location of the Munster branch of the Sword Bearers.

Sword Bearers are not uncommon, and they all have backers behind them, so they are not so afraid of Sword Bearers.

Of course, they will not use force.

Coercion and inducement are enough.

Therefore, through the efforts of the beautiful woman during this period, there have only been some small progress, but if she wants to take a bigger step, it can be said that it is difficult to move forward.

After all, the business competition in Munster is fierce.

The lucrative industry has long been done by fixed people and forces.

If you want to join in and share a piece of the pie, it is equivalent to snatching food from the tiger's mouth. Without a certain strength, it is almost impossible to succeed.

At this time, Jenny seemed to have thought of something again, and joked: "Mother, it seems that Agatha and I should go out to play in the evening. What time do you think we should come back?"

After that, Jenny blinked.

The beautiful woman naturally understood her daughter's joke in seconds!

Immediately, two red clouds appeared on her fair face. Jennifer patted Jenny gently and said shyly, "You even joked about your mother. That's too much!"

After a while, Jenny found Agatha and said, "Agatha, I'll go shopping with you tonight."

"Huh? Jenny, isn't Lord Ryan coming back today? How come you have time?"

"Lord Ryan just came back and probably has a lot of things to do. By the way, didn't you say a few days ago that a viscount's eldest son is pursuing you?"

"Do you want me to check for you?" Jenny changed the subject at the right time.

Speaking of this, Agatha blushed a little, and at the same time, her attention was focused on the matter of 'the viscount's eldest son pursuing her', and said:

"It's not a formal one. The other party invited me to see an art exhibition these two days. Uh. It seems to be the exhibition of oil painting master Franco Van Cleef. I have never agreed."

"Huh? The exhibition of oil painting master Franco Van Cleef?" Jenny was a little interested.

As a descendant of the nobility, Jenny has learned painting since she was young and she also likes painting very much. It would be great if she could see a master's exhibition while accompanying her bestie.

"Yes, but you were busy the past two days, and I don't think it would be reserved enough if I went alone. Jenny, are you also interested in the exhibition? How about I ask him to go to the exhibition tonight?"

"I heard that the exhibition will last for a week and there will be dinner every day."

"Well, the paintings of the oil painting master Franco Van Cleef are also very famous throughout the empire. It's a good opportunity to appreciate them." Jenny nodded.

"Great, then I'll send someone to contact him right away, Jenny, I love you so much." Agatha hugged Jenny excitedly and said.
