Chapter 127 I'm afraid it was just switched! (Two chapters in one)
At this time, Ryan noticed that after the battle with Andrews, and the accumulation of several previous battles with 'Calavi' and 'Mist Demon', the Giant Bear Swordsmanship had reached level 5 (1988/2000). It
was just one step away from entering the door of level 6.
So, when Jenny got off the carriage with a worried look on her face, holding up her long skirt and trotting over, she saw Ryan, who was originally sweating and had a painful face, suddenly stood up with a look of joy and full of energy.
Jenny was stunned!
"Sir Ryan, are you okay?" Jenny couldn't come back to her senses for a long time and stammered.
"Hey! Miss Jenny, why are you here?" Ryan couldn't help but wonder.
Could it be that the Crowley family is also related to this matter?
After the sneak attack just now, Ryan was extremely vigilant.
"I'm delivering it to Lord Ryan."
"Wait!" Ryan made a shushing gesture.
Because he heard the exclamation from the town of Shining Gold again.
This time the sound was very noisy and the distance was a little farther, but with Ryan's perception, he could still vaguely distinguish that it was the screams and exclamations of a group of people.
It seems that the Black Flame Church is not the only one who came this time.
And judging from the other party's purpose, it seems that they don't just want to kill him, but have a bigger goal.
The purpose of the Black Flame Church's action this time is probably not simple.
Ryan glanced at the body of Andrews beside him. The other party's body was used as evidence, and he couldn't let him be exposed in the wilderness. In addition, the spoils had not been picked up in time.
After thinking about it, Ryan turned to Jenny and said, "Miss Jenny, please help me collect my spoils."
"Ah? Spoils?" Jenny was a little surprised for a while, and didn't react at all. It wasn't until Ryan pointed to the body of the strange knight over there that Jenny understood what Ryan meant.
"I'm going to the town to investigate the situation now."
As he said this, Ryan was about to rush back to the town. However, just after taking two steps, Ryan turned around and reminded him:
"By the way, Miss Jenny, you'd better leave the town of Shining Gold."
At this time, Jenny was looking at the bloody corpse over there, and her mind was confused.
How should I deal with this?
After hearing Ryan's reminder, she reacted and said quickly:
"All right, Sir Ryan!"
At this time, two cavalrymen were rushing towards them quickly from the town of Shining Gold.
Ryan's eyes narrowed immediately, and he held the glimmering giant sword tightly with both hands and took a fighting posture.
"Wait. Sir Ryan, these two people seem to be my guard cavalry." Seeing Ryan draw his sword, Jenny was immediately startled.
"Oh?" Although Jenny said so, Ryan still remained alert this time.
After all, if you don't learn from your mistakes after suffering a loss once, you will be finished sooner or later.
After the two cavalrymen arrived, they quickly saluted Jenny and said hurriedly: "Miss Jenny, the church in Shining Gold Town has been attacked. The town's guard force is very weak now. We suggest that you leave Shining Gold Town immediately." "
Church?" Ryan's pupils shrank slightly, and he quickly thought of something.
Today is Sunday, and there are at least one or two hundred people in the church. Lord Ryan,
Andrews Black Flame Church?
Could it be that the Black Flame Church is going to hold a blood sacrifice in Shining Gold Town?
Because when Ryan was training as a child servant, he heard about the cult sacrifice incident in Monem Town.
After becoming the captain of the Night Watch, Ryan also went to check the relevant files. The real situation was even more tragic than the rumors. More than a hundred people died in Monem Town at one time.
The final result of the imperial official handling was attributed to seven or eight bandits, but Ryan knew that it was an expedient measure for the county city to calm the people's unrest as soon as possible and reduce the heat of the situation.
Looking back now, this is probably also the work of the Black Flame Church!
"Well, I won't leave. This is Lord Ryan, the deputy sheriff of Goldshire. You two, you've come just in time. Help him pick up the spoils." Jenny quickly judged the situation and rejected the two cavalrymen's suggestion.
Jenny thought clearly.
Although it was dangerous for her to stay in Goldshire, now was the best time to deepen her relationship with Ryan.
"The spoils?" The two cavalrymen looked around and immediately saw the bloody mess, and were shocked.
"This is a gangster with the strength of a senior knight, who has been killed by Lord Ryan. We will follow Lord Ryan and help pick up the spoils." Jenny said.
Senior knight?
The bloody mess was a senior knight?
This made the two knights look carefully again and found that it was indeed a plate armor knight. They couldn't help but look at each other, and they saw shock in each other's eyes.
From this point of view, it seems that there is really no need to retreat now.
"Yes, Miss Jenny." The two cavalrymen immediately jumped off their horses with confidence and began to pick up.
Ryan glanced at Jenny. He really didn't expect that this noble lady would have such courage and confidence in him.
Ryan nodded to Jenny and said, "I'll go first. You can follow me slowly. If the situation is not right, leave immediately without hesitation."
"Okay, Mr. Ryan." Jenny saw Ryan's eyes of approval and nodded happily.
Then, Ryan rushed towards the town of Shining Gold while taking the time to glance at the Knight (Extraordinary) panel.
After a little thought, he decided to add the skill points after the upgrade to the limit breaking value.
The reason is simple. A fierce battle is about to take place, so it is natural to add points where combat power can be quickly formed.
The breaking limit is related to the two extraordinary characteristics, "huge strength" and "iron skin". After adding points, these two extraordinary characteristics should be able to enter level 2.
With the addition of points, the breaking limit value instantly increased from 25% to 35%.
Suddenly, it seemed as if he heard the sound of glass breaking, and it was like the sound of inserting a key and turning it. Ryan only felt that some kind of "shackles" deep in his body were opened in an instant with a "click" .
This feeling is so strange!
It's as if Ryan had been dancing in shackles before, and this time, the shackles were directly untied.
Every cell in his body was cheering!
"No wonder the breaking limit of 30% is a hurdle. It seems that after breaking through, a certain shackle in the body is opened."
"Now, I have entered the ranks of senior knights!" Ryan murmured.
Before Ryan could carefully sense this change, his two extraordinary characteristics also broke through to level 2.
[Supernormal feature: Giant Strength lv2 (active)]
Giant Strength lv2 effect: Greatly increased strength.
(Note: The degree of increase in strength of the host by the Supernormal feature Giant Strength is positively correlated with the Breaking Limit value. The higher the Breaking Limit value, the higher the degree of strength increase.)
(Note: To enter the next level, the Breaking Limit value must be more than 60%.)
[Supernormal feature: Iron Skin lv2 (passive)]
Iron Skin lv2 effect: The body will automatically absorb free metal elements and greatly enhance the skin's defense.
(Note: The Supernormal feature Iron Skin's improvement in defense is positively correlated with the Mental Strength and Breaking Limit value. The higher the Mental Strength and Breaking Limit value, the stronger the absorption ability and the higher the degree of improvement.)
(Note: To enter the next level, the Breaking Limit value must be more than 60% and the Mental Strength must be more than 18 points.)
(Note: Supernormal features cannot be directly added using skill points.)
As expected, both Supernormal features entered lv2, and the requirements for the next level were also given.
To reach the next level of the extraordinary characteristic 'Giant Strength', the limit must be broken to more than 60%, while the requirements for the extraordinary characteristic 'Iron Skin' are more stringent, and the mental strength must reach more than 18 points.
Immediately, Ryan withdrew his gaze from the Knight (Extraordinary) panel and stared at the spire of the town church that was getting closer and closer, and his confidence doubled!
Ten minutes ago.
The church in the town of Shining Gold.
The Monsoon and Ocean Goddess Church also has classic stained glass windows and spire shapes, and the overall style is tall and thin.
In addition, at the top of the church, there is a small gilded statue of the Monsoon and Ocean Goddess.
Today is Sunday, so at this time, the church is crowded with small town residents who believe in the Monsoon and Ocean Goddess.
The daily hard work and occasional disasters have led to many more believers in this world than in Ryan's previous life, and at the same time, there are many more devout believers.
At this time, more than a hundred men and women in the town, young and old, led by the white-haired priest Thomason, are praying devoutly to the statue of the goddess holding a conch.
But at this moment, a Black Flame monk was seen in the empty hall of the church, chanting some kind of spell in place of Father Thomason. There were seven or eight fully armed mercenary-dressed strong men around him, staring at the surroundings.
However, in addition to this, there seemed to be another Black Flame monk wearing a black hood, with his head lowered, his hands in his sleeves, standing in a corner of the hall, not saying a word.
Below, there was a dark mass of people, silent as a cicada, who were the more than 100 residents of Shimmering Gold who originally attended the worship.
In front of them, the bodies of several rebels were lying on the spot, and the red blood dyed the solemn and sacred church red.
As the Black Flame monk chanted the spell, a black bone staff in front of him, the crystal on the top began to emit a strange black hair-like object, which began to fill the whole place.
The residents of Shimmering Gold who came into contact with it soon fell to the ground and trembled all over!
Seeing this scene, everyone was more frightened and trembling. It was not that they did not want to resist, but that they would die immediately if they resisted. It was better to die late than early.
One of the trembling people in the crowd was Thick Eyebrow.
He never thought that today, Sunday, he had just finished the child servant training, and was urged by his mother to attend this week's church service to seek the blessing of the goddess, so that he could successfully pass the assessment of Habsburg Manor and become a guard.
As a result, the whole worship ceremony did not last half an hour, and a group of guys dressed like mercenaries rushed in, and the priest Thomason who presided over the worship immediately fell in a pool of blood.
Then, the door of the church hall was locked, and all the residents of the town could not escape.
At first, Thick Eyebrow thought he had encountered a robbery organized by some gangsters, but he was not too worried when he thought of his family's wealthy conditions. It was not
until the black-robed man began to chant strange spells that Thick Eyebrow thought of the cult's sacrifice incident, and his face turned pale in an instant!
Cults always want lives, not money!
The good thing about the 'pseudo second generation' is that at least they are well-informed and know what the other party does. In other words, in the current situation, Nongmei can die clearly.
Unlike ordinary small town residents, who may not know why they died until the moment before they died.
Nongmei did not think about resisting. He always believed that with his swordsmanship, he would have no problem dealing with ordinary bandits.
But when he saw the security guard uncle who taught him swordsmanship being knocked down in a pool of blood by a sword, Nongmei's confidence was shattered like glass.
He did not dare to have the slightest thought of resisting. After all, if he resisted, he would die immediately, but if he stayed in the crowd like a quail, he could at least die later!
At this time, a figure suddenly appeared in Nongmei's mind.
A figure that was shorter and thinner than him.
In the swordsmanship competition in the child servant training, the opponent turned the impossible into possible and defeated him.
If he were there, would he dare to draw his sword against them?
Thick Eyebrow thought about it, then shook his head. He probably wouldn't dare.
After all, the gap in strength was too big.
Although he had heard that the guy had become the town's night watchman, so what? He was still an ordinary person. In front of this group of bandits, I'm afraid only a formal knight would be enough.
Seeing the strange black air spreading, Thick Eyebrow's heart tightened immediately, and he could only hear him muttering in a voice that only he could hear:
"Mother! You betrayed your son, you know!"
"Goddess! May someone save me!"
"I sincerely apologize for all the mistakes I made before, and pray that the goddess can send someone to save me!"
"I'm still young, I really don't want to die!"
Thick Eyebrow's eyes at this moment have never been so pious!
If Ryan was at the scene, he would find that in addition to Thick Eyebrow, there were many familiar servants at the scene, even his good friend George.
This is because the Habsburg Manor will hold a child servant assessment next week.
Therefore, many child servants came to the church with their families to worship devoutly, praying that the goddess would bless the assessment to go smoothly.
At this moment, they all looked at the scene in front of them with horror.
At the edge of the church hall, there was a familiar figure of Ryan, that is, his mother Emma, who was lowering her head, trembling, and looking terrified.
But at this moment, she miraculously did not pray to the goddess for blessing at the first time. Instead, her son Ryan, whose increasingly tall figure first appeared in her mind.
"Such a big thing has happened. As the captain of the Night Watch, Ryan should come, right?"
"No, no! Ryan can't come!"
"The other side has a large number of people and is too powerful. Ryan will definitely not be able to win even if he comes!"
"Goddess bless! Don't let Ryan come, let him be safe!" Mother Emma muttered silently in her heart.
At this time, a Black Flame monk in a black robe was blocking the entrance to the square outside the church. On the ground lay four or five corpses in police uniforms. Opposite him were the only twenty or so night watchmen and a few police officers left in the town of Shining Gold.
The night watchmen drew their bows and arrows, aiming at the Black Flame monk. The police officers also drew their swords and surrounded him, but they were all nervous. A few of them were pale and trembling.
This made the Black Flame monk, who was playing with the black fireball in his hand, look like a man standing alone against ten thousand men .
The first few police officers who arrived had already been attacked by the other side.
Among the remaining guards in the town of Shining Gold, the short man Matteo had the highest position.
As the captain of the night watch, he clenched his fists at this moment, his face flushed red, but he did not dare to order the arrows to be shot.
Matteo never lacked the courage to fight, but facing the Black Flame Monk who even Sheriff Hamilton had suffered last time, he knew that as long as he shouted "shoot", all of his men might die here.
The black flames jumping in the opponent's hands made Matteo extremely afraid. For the Night Watchmen with ordinary combat power, it was almost impossible to solve.
Didn't Ryan kill a Black Flame Monk before? It's not that scary, right?
Yes, but that was a Black Flame Monk in a seriously injured state.
And the one in front of him was a Black Flame Monk in his prime.
It's a completely different concept!
So, although they have surrounded the opponent, Matteo is almost certain that they can't do anything to the opponent even if they fight to the death.
Maybe before their own team is wiped out, they can let the opponent add one or two wounds.
That's it!
Although Matteo has sent people to chase Lord Hamilton's team as soon as possible, it has been an hour since they set out. It's time to go back and forth, I'm afraid they won't be able to catch up.
In addition, Matteo also sent people to the nearest Habsburg manor to ask for help from Knight Lloyd, but it is estimated that it will take some time to wait for the reinforcements from the manor.
Therefore, even though Matteo did not have much confidence that Ryan could defeat the other party, at this moment, the only one they could count on was the new deputy sheriff Ryan who was still in the town of Shining Gold.
"You don't even have the courage to shoot arrows at me. As the law enforcement force of the empire, you are really bad." The Black Flame Monk said jokingly while playing with the Black Flame Fireball in his hand.
"Is it you, a bunch of rubbish, who besieged and killed Mort? It doesn't look like it!"
"Okay! If you stand still honestly, maybe I can spare your lives.
" "By the way, I remember, you are not waiting for that...what's his name, Ray. Ryan! Is that his name?"
"Hehe, you are not waiting for him, are you?"
"Unfortunately, you can't wait."
This made Matteo and the other night watchmen change color, and for a moment, they felt that their cards were suddenly seen through by the other party!
From the other party's tone, it seems that Ryan.
Suddenly, screams came one after another in the church.
This made many family members who were on night watch in the church excited, and they turned to Matteo and said:
"Captain, fight!"
"Yes! Fight!"
The desperate declaration of the group of ants on the opposite side made Otis want to laugh.
"Hahaha, fight? A group of ants, what can you fight with me!"
At this time, a young but sonorous voice suddenly sounded: "Has no one ever taught you to respect the brave who are ready to die?"
Suddenly, Otis couldn't laugh!
Because a person he didn't expect appeared in his sight, and also appeared in the sight of all the night watchmen.
"Ryan!"
"Mr. Deputy Sheriff!"
The moment Matteo saw Ryan appear, he suddenly had an urge to cry! The burden on his shoulders was suddenly relieved.
"Report to the deputy sheriff, the Black Flame monks have controlled the townspeople in the church!"
"Matthew, you've worked hard! Leave this to me!" Ryan said, looking at the Black Flame monk on the other side.
"You... you are the new knight Ryan?"
"How is that possible? You shouldn't..."
"What about Andrews? You can't be his opponent!" The Black Flame monk named Otis asked three questions at once.
However, Ryan naturally ignored the other party, but silently drew out the glimmering giant sword behind him.
Otis frowned, still unable to figure out this question.
"Could it be that Andrews fought with you, but let you escape?"
After thinking about it, Otis felt that this was the most reasonable explanation.
Moreover, judging from the way Ryan's armor was broken, it seemed that he was beaten badly by Andrews.
If this is the case, Ryan should be a speed-type knight with extraordinary characteristics such as agility.
No wonder!
Otis instantly ruled out all possible situations and obtained a conclusion that he thought was very reliable!
For a speed-type knight like Ryan, the best option is to fight hard in close combat.
If you use a long-range attack on the black flame fireball, if the opponent is too fast, it will only be useless.
Otis has rich combat experience and quickly thought of the best countermeasure to deal with Ryan.
Coincidentally, Otis's melee strength is also quite strong, and he is good at using a pair of daggers. In addition, although his strength is only that of a formal knight, his extraordinary characteristics are more agile.
After thinking about all this, Otis said confidently: "It's rare for you to slip away from Andrews, but you didn't seize this luck and dared to come here."
"This is really your sorrow!"
The other party's words made Ryan stunned for a moment!
"Swoosh!"
Otis kicked his toes and rushed straight towards Ryan.
The opponent's manipulation once again made Ryan stunned!
Because Ryan had been thinking about how to avoid the black flame fireball in the opponent's hand, and then seek an opportunity to get close to the opponent and kill the opponent quickly.
But what did he see now?
This black flame monk did not throw even a black flame fireball at him, but rushed towards him quickly, wanting to fight him in close combat?
Is there any conspiracy here?
No matter!
Close combat is his only advantage!
Since the opponent is so confident, he may also be a power player. For the sake of safety, he should directly use the big move!
It just so happens that Ryan has now broken through the limit value to 35%, which is considered to be a senior knight. The extraordinary characteristic "huge force" has reached the level of 60% increase.
Ryan plans to open another 25% of the "power burst" to make up for the 120% power increase, and first test the opponent's bottom.
Moreover, Ryan is sure that the duration and sequelae of this level of triple superposition will be much weaker, and even if the time is short, there will be no sequelae at all.
This is the benefit of having a good physique.
No wonder the great man once said that a good body is the capital of revolution!
As for why he didn't burst out with all his strength?
That's because he had to maintain a certain combat effectiveness for the subsequent church rescue.
Seeing the Black Flame monk attacking Ryan quickly, Matteo stared at him intently and quickly said to the other night watchmen: "Wait a minute, you will come from..."
But before he finished speaking, he stopped abruptly!
Instead, he muttered to himself: "Ryan's strength has reached this level."
Suddenly, a pair of daggers flashing with cold light appeared in the hands of the Black Flame monk. In the blink of an eye, they attacked not far in front of Ryan.
When the high-speed attack came, the airflow brought up had already scraped the broken plate armor on Ryan's body!
At the moment when the opponent was in a good mood.
Everyone present only heard the sound of several bowstrings being plucked, and the source was Ryan in the center of the venue!
"Bang, bang, bang!"
Ryan's body suddenly swelled up, and his muscles bulged, especially his chest and neck, which were like a Zarahi cobra before attacking its prey, and expanded almost twice as much!
"Hah!!!"
A roar sounded!
A shock wave of air that seemed to be real spread out from Ryan's mouth to the surroundings, and the first to bear the brunt was Otis who was attacking head-on!
Otis's face was suddenly horrified. He never thought that Ryan actually had such a large-scale sound wave attack trick.
This kind of attack cannot be dodged at all, and can only be resisted!
And Otis's reaction was also very fast. He shrank his neck and crossed his hands to protect in front of him in an instant!
"Bang!"
The strong wind hit, and Otis only felt a sharp pain in his ears and his head was buzzing!
But he instinctively felt that something was wrong. Just when he wanted to put down his arm to check the situation, he suddenly felt the sky darken, and then his left eye looked at his right eye!
No, to be precise, his left eye saw the right half of his body, and his right eye saw the left half.
Before Otis could come to his senses, what was going on!
His world went black!
Returned to nothingness!
And everyone on the sidelines, all kept their hands covering their ears, with a stunned expression, staring at Ryan who was still in the downward chopping posture.
And the Black Flame Monk who was split in half!
The night watchmen were dumbfounded on the spot, and all kinds of "strange ideas" popped up in their heads.
"Is this the Black Flame Monk they were so afraid of just now?"
"Is it the Black Flame Monk who seriously injured Sheriff Hamilton?"
"This... I'm afraid he was just replaced!"
"Why does it feel like Ryan chopped a fake Black Flame Monk!"
It's not that Ryan was posing.
Instead, at this moment, his Giant Bear Swordsmanship has been upgraded to level 6.
So, in an instant, as the Giant Bear Swordsmanship successfully entered level 6 (124/3000), the memory fragments of the Giant Bear Swordsmanship training began to be injected into Ryan's mind.
At the same time, the various skills contained in these memory fragments were quickly integrated into Ryan's muscle memory.
However, this time it seemed a little different.
But before Ryan had time to experience it carefully, he suddenly saw that the church door in front of him was opened from the inside!
