The ancient empire is senile and dying, while the nascent federation roars with steam. The slumbering gods are gradually awakening, and some giant beasts that disappeared in ancient times are slowl...
Chapter 360 Liquefaction
"However, this is a good thing, but it's a pity that I can't learn it all at once."
"To perform the second-level witchcraft, you need to achieve spiritual liquefaction, which is also a prerequisite for learning the second-level witchcraft." Ryan thought to himself.
At this time, the girl Georgia next to him curiously wandered around. This was her first time to come to the so-called storage room of the Sea God Cult.
She casually flipped through a pile of miscellaneous items on the side and dusted it off. Only then did she see the big words on the cover clearly and whispered softly: "Otakar's diary?"
"Huh?"
Ryan, who was about to open the parchment scroll and check the second-level metal witchcraft "Cutting Net", was suddenly stunned.
Otakar?
Isn't this the real name of this "cutter"?
Ryan immediately turned to look at Georgia and said, "Georgia, please show me the diary in your hand."
"Of course, sir." Georgia stuck out her tongue, ran over a little embarrassedly, and respectfully handed the diary in her hand that had not been opened to Ryan.
"Don't move anything here without Lord Ryan's order." Brother Fandral whispered in Georgia's ear.
"Well, I just flipped through it casually. Lord Ryan won't mind." The young girl Georgia was speechless as she looked at her brother who had become a loyal fan of Lord Ryan.
As Ryan flipped through the pages, his brows became more and more relaxed. In the end, a smile that he couldn't hide appeared on his face.
After flipping through more than ten pages, Ryan let out a long sigh.
He closed the diary and stood up.
Perhaps, the biggest gain this time was not the second-level metal magic 'Cutting Net', but this diary.
It turned out that 'Cutter' Otakar was not born in the wizard school. At first, he was just a wandering wizard apprentice, but he was the kind of person with extremely good luck.
With the favor of the goddess of luck, when he was a third-level wizard apprentice, he explored an ancient ruins and actually obtained a fragmentary ancient wizard school inheritance.
Yes, it is not a certain witchcraft or a certain potion formula, but an inheritance containing multiple witchcrafts and step-by-step training experience.
If this kind of situation still exists among a hundred wizard apprentices,
it is rare to get a inheritance that is extremely suitable for oneself. This kind of luck is probably one in a thousand.
After practicing it personally, Otakar knew that his incomplete inheritance contained a witchcraft killer move.
To put it simply, a witchcraft killer move is an attack form that consists of two or more witchcrafts, which are performed in a specific way, so that the power of witchcraft increases exponentially.
And Otakar's incomplete inheritance contains a witchcraft killer move consisting of the second-level metal witchcraft "Cutting Net" and the zero-level witchcraft "Sharp Art".
A combination of the simplest metal witchcraft killer moves contains only two witchcrafts, one of which is a zero-level witchcraft.
Of course, although it is the simplest witchcraft killer move, it also has requirements. It is necessary to solidify the second-level metal witchcraft "Cutting Net" as a talent witchcraft, and at the same time, compress the casting time of the zero-level witchcraft "Sharp Art" to within 0.1 seconds.
This is why Ryan couldn't help but smile when he saw this.
It is simply a witchcraft killer move tailor-made for him. If anyone sees it, I'm afraid they will laugh out loud.
You know, after Otakar became a second-level wizard and solidified the "Cutting Net" as a talent witchcraft, he spent a lot of time practicing the "Sharp Art".
Ryan can naturally save the latter process. As long as he solidifies the "Cutting Net" as a second-level talent witchcraft, he can cast a combination witchcraft.
In the end, he mastered this recorded combination witchcraft, but others didn't know it.
Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, the "Cutting Net" cast by Otakar is extremely powerful, and they think he is gifted, which also earned him the nickname "Cutter".
In fact, this is because metal wizards are rare, and even fewer know that 'Sharpness' and 'Cutting Net' can form a combination of magic.
Therefore, even if some wizards are confused, they attribute it to Otakar's outstanding talent, which is able to modify and enhance the magic power of the second-level metal magic 'Cutting Net'.
If it weren't for the fact that Ryan was in the old nest of the Poseidon Cult in Howling Fjord at this time, it would not be suitable for further in-depth research.
Ryan would probably immerse himself in it without sleep and forget about food.
"Georgia, thank you very much, this diary is very useful to me. Please help me continue to search for some information related to Otakar here." Ryan picked up Otakar's diary in his hand, raised it and smiled.
"Of course, no problem, Lord Ryan, these are your spoils of war, and I found them by accident." Georgia heard Ryan's praise, her little face was quite excited, and she slightly turned her head to glance at her brother.
Look! You actually criticized me, and Lord Ryan praised me!
Fandral looked at this sister and was also laughing and crying.
At this time, Ryan smiled and said to Fandral: "Captain Fandral, try to pick the valuable and lightest things here and carry them away. We will evacuate in half an hour."
"Yes, Lord Ryan." Fandral was much more respectful than his sister and bowed slightly.
After half an hour,
although Georgia searched very carefully, she still couldn't find anything more valuable in the pile of debris. Ryan looked at some potion formulas he found and gave up. They
were all apprentice-level potion formulas.
Of course, it is very likely that more valuable formulas have been sent away by Havers long ago.
As a record of some metal wizards, Otakar's diary is probably not that important in the eyes of Havers and others, so it was casually discarded here.
After a while, more than a dozen war horses, all fully loaded with spoils, mission certificates from the Slippery Blade Naga and the Thick-shelled Lobster Man, etc., returned to the town.
Among them, the heaviest were the three simple carts pulled by the team at the end. On each of them were two mixtures of blood, flesh and soil shoveled from the ground, and the huge head of the deep-sea giant leader Dune.
The two mixtures of blood, flesh and soil were the meat-patty-shaped bodies of Havers and Ursula. Since they were mixed with compressed soil, they were naturally heavy.
According to Fandral, although they were heavy, they were still worth carrying away and receiving a high bounty from the empire.
As for the head of the giant Dune, although it was just a head, it was more than one meter long and as heavy as a large vat.
Fortunately, the three carts were covered with cloth, otherwise, it would probably scare many passers-by along the way.
However, even though they were covered with cloth, the strong smell of blood, plus the smell of giant claw seafood in the sacks on both sides of the other horses, mixed together, still drifted all the way, attracting many people to look at the team curiously.
This situation continued until everyone arrived at the town of Ilgala and began to reach a climax.
"Hey! Fandral, did you guys from the Ice Claw Bear Mercenary Group go fishing? It stinks!" A burly scarred man, carrying a square iron shield, stepped forward and said with disdain.
"Spencer, no matter how stinky it is, it's not as stinky as your mouth!" Fandral immediately retorted.
However, after the two approached, they hugged each other tightly, patted each other on the back, and then laughed.
This is the rough way of greeting for mercenaries who live on the edge of a knife.
"Fandal, it seems that you have a good harvest this time."
"By the way, have you heard? A big news! The Proto-Dragon Corasius was killed by an adult. Everyone was talking about this just now." Spencer immediately began to share a big news with Fandral.
"Are you talking about the Proto-Dragon Corasius? The mutant Proto-Dragon that even the Dean of Winterhold Academy, Master Batalov, couldn't handle?" Fandral said with surprise.
He originally wanted to share his legendary experience with the other party, but he didn't expect that the other party told him a shocking news first.
"Yes, it is said that a lord named Ryan directly killed the Proto-Dragon Coraxus, and also gained the loyalty of multiple clans of icefield bear monsters."
"Now this lord Ryan who suddenly appeared has been called the 'King of Bear Monsters' and the 'Proto-Dragon Killer'. This matter has spread among the Winterhold College and some nearby forces."
"Huh? What's his name? Lord Ryan?!"
Upon hearing the news, all the members of the Ice Claw Bear Mercenary Group, including Fandral, stood there frozen as if struck by lightning!
"How is it! Are you shocked?" Spencer saw the dazed expressions of Fandral and the others, and could not help but be very satisfied.
Damn, he was also very shocked when he heard the news.
That was the Proto-Dragon Corasius, and Lord Batalov, who was quite prestigious in the area of the Frost Tundra and the Ice Field, could not deal with him.
However, the next second, Spencer was a little strange, because everyone, including Fandral, seemed to be unable to help but look at a young man in a white wizard robe in the team.
Spencer looked up and down at Ryan, and naturally he could not see Ryan's depth, so he soon stopped paying attention.
However, he was very curious about what his old friend Fandral had in the rear panel this time, and why it smelled so bloody.
Spencer walked to the side of the cart, and before Fandral could stop him, he "clattered" and opened the cloth.
Spencer and the people beside him took a closer look, and the next second, they were so scared that their faces turned pale. They took several steps back and fell to the ground.
"Fuck!"
"Fuck! What is this!"
A huge head appeared on the cart, especially the huge eyes that looked like lanterns, staring at Spencer.
This strong sense of oppression instantly swept through the hearts of the people around.
No wonder Spencer, who was quite strong just now, was almost scared out of his wits!
The mercenaries around him also looked like they had seen a ghost and retreated in fear.
"Is this the head of a giant?!"
"It smells like the sea, it should be the head of a deep-sea giant."
"But the head of a deep-sea giant is not this big, right?"
"Yes! The head of the deep-sea giant that the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group brought back last time was not even half as big as this. Could it be some leader among the deep-sea giants?"
"When did the Ice Claw Bear Mercenary Group have such strength?"
For a moment, everyone around whispered.
The mercenaries and wizard apprentices farther away also gathered around curiously. Even the guards patrolling the town of Ilgala squeezed over out of curiosity.
A middle-aged man with a mustache riding a horse and wearing a noble hunting suit also saw this scene from a high position and was deeply moved.
He turned his head and asked the guard beside him, "Go and find out what the mercenary group is called?"
"The legendary deep-sea giant, could it be the deep-sea giant leader Dune who was just announced and ranked second on the bounty list?" the middle-aged man with a mustache murmured.
However, without Ryan's permission, Fandral would naturally not reveal Ryan's identity.
The outside story was that they were lucky and met a strong man who killed the deep-sea giant leader, and they just got away with it.
But Fandral's statement made the people around him drool with envy.
When Ryan returned to the forest again and reunited with Anna, the delighted Anna was like a light butterfly, and she jumped into Ryan's arms at once.
Seeing this scene, the other people in the Ice Claw Bear Mercenary Group were fine, at most they thought that this girl should be the sweetheart of Lord Ryan, but the girl Georgia was in a bit of a strange mood at the moment. After all
, a boyfriend like Lord Ryan is the prince charming in every girl's dream!
Of course, this sour feeling came and went quickly.
The girl had just met Ryan not long ago, and the jealousy soon disappeared without a trace.
After Anna hugged Ryan tightly, she noticed that there were other people behind Ryan, which made her blush slightly, and she left Ryan's arms shyly.
Of course, she was also very curious why Ryan brought back ten strangers after being away for most of the day.
"Anna, this is Fandral, the leader of the Ice Claw Bear Mercenary Group."
"This is his sister Georgia."
Ryan introduced them one by one.
Obviously, compared to Fandral, Anna was naturally more interested in Georgia, who was of the same age, and her beautiful eyes looked up and down at her with interest.
"Sister Anna, hello, it's an honor to meet you!" Georgia bent her knees slightly and gave Anna a lady's salute.
"Uh, hello, Georgia, it's nice to meet you."
Anna didn't quite understand why the other party was so respectful to her, as if she was treating a big shot, but she immediately smiled and greeted her.
After some greetings, Ryan and Anna rode the blood-feathered horned beast and returned to Winterhold College first.
The Ice Claw Bear Mercenary Group rode there later.
Fandral and his party looked at the flying blood-feathered horned beast and couldn't help but sigh! ——After
returning to Winterhold College.
Ryan and Batalov and other senior executives of Winterhold College briefly exchanged information about this trip to Howling Fjord.
Soon, Melita put some information about witchcraft killer moves, that is, combined witchcraft, on Ryan's desk.
Ryan also read it carefully.
Half a day later, after careful consideration, Ryan decided to use "Cutting Net" as his second-level talent witchcraft.
It's not that he didn't consider the problem of stronger metal combination witchcraft.
But after reading the information, Ryan found that this kind of witchcraft killer move was very rare, and the metal one was even rarer.
Ryan couldn't drag it on and not be promoted, even if it was to find a stronger witchcraft killer move. That would be a waste of time.
In addition, according to ancient books, many witchcraft killing moves were discovered by accident during battles between ancient wizards, which gave Ryan a vague guess in his mind.
However, this guess can only be verified after he enters the second-level liquefied wizard.
Since the 'cutting net' is a second-level magic, if you want to learn it, you naturally have to improve yourself to the level of a second-level liquefied wizard.
Ryan opened the wooden box and saw him take out seven soul energy crystals and hold them in his hand, and quickly activated the Iron Heart Advanced Meditation Method, and the system prompts also sounded:
[Ding! Soul energy crystals that can improve the degree of mental atomization are detected. Yes/No to accelerate absorption? (Note: System absorption can remove impurities and can be absorbed all at once.)]
"Yes!"
In an instant, Ryan felt that the silver mist in the spiritual sea began to increase rapidly. Soon, about 90% of the area in the spiritual sea was filled with silver mist.
Ryan glanced at the system panel:
Spirit: 73 (atomization 92%)
"Huh? I added 5 points of spirit during the previous battle, and the atomization level also increased to 72%. Now it has reached 92%. With this calculation, one soul energy crystal has not even increased by 3% now."
After thinking about it, Ryan used up the remaining three soul energy crystals in the wooden box.
So, soon, Ryan pushed the atomization level of mental power to 98% in one fell swoop, exceeding the minimum requirement of 90% atomization to be promoted to the second-level liquefied wizard, eight points.
I had a laser lithotripsy surgery today. Although it is a minor operation, I still need to recuperate according to the doctor's orders. It is expected that in the next ten days or so, the update will be 4,000 words per day, and then it will be restored to 6,000. Everyone knows. (Note: I am crying and reminding the book friends who sit for a long time to exercise more and drink more water, o(╥﹏╥)o!)
