Chapter 186: Unexpected! The first legendary profession panel prompt! (Two chapters in one)
"Okay, shut up! Now that you've decided to do it, don't take it lightly!" The sturdy man who was holding the copper monocular telescope before shouted.
Then, he turned to a thin man beside him who was holding a strong crossbow and only had one right eye left and said, "One-Eye, take a few crossbowmen and fire a volley at the opponent first to test the opponent's foundation."
"One-Eye" has the strength of a formal knight and is also a crossbowman. Among his group, he is also a capable general.
The thin man named "One-Eye" nodded slightly, and did not say anything, but immediately began to load the crossbow arrows.
The crossbow arrow he was installing was flashing with a light green cold light. Obviously, this crossbow arrow was poisoned.
Sure enough, people who keep silent are often more ruthless!
After loading, the one-eyed man waved his hand and called the other crossbowmen to take a few steps forward carefully, just in time to include Ryan, who was not far away, within the maximum range of the crossbow.
The other people in the team prepared their weapons, grinning and ready to go.
Once the crossbowmen in the team caused damage to the "young knight", they would rush forward and fight with more people!
This tactic is used to deal with slightly stronger teams or masters, and they are already very skilled!
They subconsciously believe that this time, it will be as easy as before.
At this moment, the one-eyed man and several other crossbowmen have already found their positions and are raising their crossbows to aim!
Suddenly, the young knight who was wiping the big sword in the sight of several people a second ago suddenly disappeared from their sight.
Huh?
Where is he?
Several crossbowmen, including the one-eyed man, were all shocked or surprised. They immediately put down their crossbows slightly and turned their heads to look around.
The next second, the leading man in the back changed his expression and shouted, "Be careful!"
Before he finished speaking,
"Puff!"
One-Eye suddenly felt dizzy.
He was still wondering how he could fly, but almost at the same time, he saw an extremely familiar headless body. The smooth neck cut was spurting blood, like a blood fountain!
Isn't this my body!
One-Eye was horrified!
But the next second, a deep sense of fatigue began to invade his consciousness.
However, before he completely lost consciousness.
One-Eye heard screams coming from his ears, and he was very familiar with the owners of these screams.
But, what's the matter with that strange sound of "chi chi chi", like high-speed cutting?
I really want to look up and see what's going on!
But my eyelids are so heavy. I really want to sleep.
When One-Eye's eyelids gradually closed, the scene was already a mess.
Some people who are lucky only have their necks broken, that is, the heads are separated.
Those who were not so lucky were in a worse situation. They were cut into several pieces, with broken limbs and arms scattered all over the ground. It was estimated that it would be difficult to put them together.
The strong man holding the copper single-channel telescope was looking at Ryan with wide eyes and a horrified expression. He desperately covered his neck with both hands, trying to stop the red blood from flowing out.
But this was obviously in vain, because the wound was too deep, almost half of the neck was cut open. If it was deeper, he would be beheaded directly.
"Plop!"
The strong man knelt on the ground, and the whole person fell on his back. The strong vitality of the senior knight level made his strong body twitch constantly.
It seems that sometimes too much vitality is not necessarily a good thing!
The pain you endure is even greater!
Before he died, the strong man couldn't figure out one thing. It was obviously him and others who attacked the other party, so how could the situation be reversed in an instant.
The other party seemed to have discovered them in advance and rushed towards them without any warning. At a distance of forty or fifty meters, the other party came to them and swung the big sword after just a face-to-face encounter.
The big sword exuded a strange cold light. It was so sharp.
Ryan shook the big sword, wiped the blood on the sword, shook his head, and said to himself:
"Familiar smell! It's really interesting. Basque just told me to be careful of the rebels, and I met them now!"
"But this kind of strength is really too bad!"
Ryan found that the effect of sharpness lv2 was really useful.
Just now, when he used the big sword to break the chain mail and thick leather armor on the bodies of the Zalal rebels, it was as easy as tearing thin paper.
Even the knight's plate armor worn by the last strong man, after finding the weak point of the seam between the helmet and the breastplate, he didn't spend much effort to split it with a sword!
If it were before, I'm afraid it would never be so easy.
Of course, the effect of precision lv2 is also indispensable.
Or should we say that the two special effects of precision and sharpness are used to kill these weak fish. It is really a big knife to kill a chicken!
After thinking about it, Ryan did not continue to stay where he was to rest, but rode on the black horse and began to move towards the small fishing port town of Larchmond where Haas was.
Ryan, who was on horseback, switched the weapon in his hand. At this moment, he held the pig-head hammer in his hand and played with it.
"What effect will it have if the Force is applied to the hammer?"
-
At the same time, in an office in Mayster County Prison.
A middle-aged man in the uniform of the captain of the prison guard frowned and was thinking about something.
However, from his gloomy face, it is enough to see that his mood at the moment is not so good.
Indeed, as early as half a month ago, Maggis discovered that something was wrong with the situation at the base.
Because normally, within half a month, he would definitely get news from the base. This news could be good or bad, but in any case, at least there should be news!
But the problem now is that after so long, there has been no news from the base.
This made him extremely confused at first!
After that, he waited for a few more days, and he knew that something must have happened at the base!
So, Maggis immediately sent his capable confidant to the abandoned mine of "Wild Wolf Hill", the base of his organization in Mayster County, to check the situation.
But the situation report after the confidant came back made him feel "thumped" in his heart!
Because according to the confidant, the old mine where the base is located has now collapsed for the most part. Judging from the traces of gunpowder at the entrance of the passage, it is obviously not a natural factor such as an earthquake or disrepair, but a man-made one.
In addition, the deliberately concealed traces of battle found near the mine also proved this point.
In other words, the base of his organization in Meister County was quietly wiped out.
Could it be that the Empire found out and sent people from the special department to do it?
This really made Magis nervous for several days!
But after a few days, he found that the upper echelons of Meister County were very calm, and there was no special news. This confused him. It shouldn't be!
Because if it was a special operation of the Empire, then after the base was pulled out, the convention was to purge all the nobles, big families, chambers of commerce, etc. in the county city that had ties with his own organization!
Of course, he would not be spared in this process.
But now, it seems that it was not done by the special department of the Empire!
What's going on?
Magis had thought about the young new knight Ryan, but in his cognition, Ryan, who was at most a senior knight, and had no powerful companions, how could he be related to the annihilation of the base.
So, Magis began to mobilize various informants to investigate, but so far, the murderer has never been found!
At the same time, during this month, he was also questioned by two barons, Alonso and Norman, who questioned that their resistance army was just a name, and they couldn't even kill a young new knight!
He knew that this would obviously not work.
Once the two secretly spread the unreliable information of the resistance army in the noble circle of Mayest County, the actions of his organization in the entire Mayest County would not be supported by some potential nobles. It
can be said that the follow-up actions of the entire organization in Mayest County will suffer major obstacles, and he, as a key liaison, cannot escape the blame!
So, three days ago, he sent a letter for help to the higher-ups!
Magis hoped that the superiors could send powerful people to Mayest County to preside over the work and quickly reverse this unfavorable situation.
According to his estimation, someone should come in the next few days.
At this time, there was a knock on the door outside the room, interrupting Magis's thoughts.
"My lord, Baron Alonso is here!"
"Why is he here again?" After hearing the report from his confidant, Magis patted his forehead with a headache.
But obviously, he couldn't refuse the meeting, so he could only nod and say, "Okay, invite him over! It can't be for that Ryan again! Damn it!"
In the past two days, he has sent someone to investigate Ryan's situation. Although Ryan's resume shows that this young man is very good and talented, he is not very conspicuous in the entire Munster Province.
In addition, young people who have not grown up are always fragile.
Magis is still very confident in his own organization. After the people sent by the higher-ups come, if he can find this Ryan and deal with him, it should be quite easy!
After all, the person in charge of the original stronghold is a peak knight. If something goes wrong this time, the organization will most likely send a master at the level of a great knight.
However, the latest news says that Ryan does not seem to be in the county city recently, but has gone to other places.
At present, his capable confidants are trying to find out where the other party has gone through various channels?
This is what Majis thought. Even if he didn't kill the boy now, at least he would have an answer when Alonso and Norman asked him. After all, the other party was not in Mayest County at the moment, and he couldn't do anything about it.
In this way, the other party would not have any emotions after hearing it. After all, he was pushing forward this matter. Otherwise, how would he know that Ryan was not in the county city, right?
But the annoying thing was that until now, there was no news about "Where did Ryan go?", which made him more passive when facing Alonso now.
Soon, a familiar figure strode into the room. The bearded man wearing a black noble hunting suit inlaid with gold thread was Baron Alonso.
Seeing Alonso coming in, Majis immediately stood up and said with a smile: "Dear Baron Alonso, if you want to find me, just let me know. I should go to visit you."
The other party's entrusted matter was not completed, so Majis had to lower his posture.
Alonso looked at Maggis with a gloomy face and said, "Magis, do you know why I am here! It's been so long, does it take a month to do this? Are you kidding me!"
"Today, if you can't give me a reasonable explanation, I think I will take back everything I promised before!"
Hearing what Alonso said, Maggis hesitated!
Alonso's attitude is obviously more resolute than last time. Could it be that the other party has also heard the news of the accident at the stronghold?
However, Maggis thought about it and felt that this possibility was not great. After all, the stronghold was not responsible for the contact with the nobles of Meister County, and all the content in this regard was carried out through him.
But in this situation, he must give Alonso an explanation, otherwise he is afraid that the other party...
But
He couldn't let out the news that his base was completely destroyed by the mysterious man. After all, it was a family scandal. It would be too embarrassing to tell anyone else!
Just as Maggis was hesitating, the confidant knocked on the door, walked in, and whispered a few words in his ear.
Maggis was getting irritated. At first, he didn't want to listen at all. Just when he was about to send the confidant away, his face suddenly froze and he immediately turned his head and asked, "Is the person in the interrogation room?"
"Yes, sir!"
At this time, Maggis thought about it, and immediately turned his head and said to Alonso seriously, "Baron, please allow me to leave for five minutes. I will give you the explanation you want in five minutes."
Alonso thought for a while and said, "Okay! I'll give you another five minutes."
Obviously, he also saw that Maggis must have received some news.
-
When Ryan came to the fishing port town of Larchmond where Haas was, he felt a little strange, because most of the residents in the town had bitter faces, as if they had encountered some difficulties.
However, his purpose this time was to visit Haas, so Ryan stopped an old lady and said,
"Hello!"
"Hello, sir knight!" Facing Ryan, who was riding a tall horse and carrying a weapon, the old lady was obviously a little nervous and bowed to greet him.
"I want to ask, where is Haas Klein's home?" Ryan asked.
However, when she heard that Ryan was asking for the address of Haas's house, the aunt's face was obviously much more relaxed, and she replied: "Captain Haas? He is injured and should be recuperating at home now. His house is the first house on the right turn at the intersection in front."
"Master Knight, do you need me to take you there?"
"Thank you! No, I think I should be able to find it." Ryan smiled and nodded, rejecting the kindness of the aunt.
Although Ryan was smiling, he was a little surprised in his heart.
Haas was injured?
I don't know if it is serious.
Controlling the black horse to move forward, Ryan soon came to the place where the aunt said.
This is a house similar to Ryan's in Shining Gold Town. For ordinary people, it should be considered very good.
But compared to the knight class, it is a bit too shabby.
However, this is normal, after all, Haas's knighthood should not have been canonized yet.
Ryan knocked on the iron gate!
"Knock, knock, knock!"
At this time, a chubby child opened the door and asked, "Hello, who are you looking for?"
"Excuse me, is this Haas Klein's house? I'm his friend."
"Yes, are you my brother's friend? But why have I never seen you before!" The little boy looked at Ryan suspiciously.
"Hehe, you can tell your brother first and say that Ryan is visiting." Ryan smiled and didn't mind.
"Okay, then please wait a moment." At this time, the little boy also saw Ryan's full appearance clearly. He was riding a tall horse, carrying weapons, and his tone was calm and friendly, giving people a sense of conviction.
So the little boy used a respectful title and immediately turned around and ran into the house.
After a while, a familiar tall figure walked out quickly, but the other party's left arm was obviously wrapped in a white bandage. It was Haas.
The first time Haas saw Ryan, he said happily: "Ryan, you finally came to see me!"
"I originally wanted to come to Mayester County to find you, but unfortunately, I was injured these two days!"
"Hass! Long time no see, how did you become like this?"
"Come in first!"
Haas quickly opened the door and invited Ryan in. The two of them walked in while exchanging greetings.
"Some time ago, an underage Scaled Ironback Turtle came near our fishing port. From time to time, it would attack the passing fishing boats that were returning with full loads. This caused great distress to the residents of the town, so Sheriff Bernhard and I planned to find time to eliminate it."
"After a period of searching, we found its nest! However, due to the strong defense of the Scaled Ironback Turtle, we spent a few days specially making special crossbows."
"We just dealt with this matter two days ago, but when we went there and prepared to eliminate it, we suddenly discovered that this guy had actually transformed to the mature stage. Sheriff Bernhard and I were both injured in that battle!"
"It turned out that the other party attacked the fishing boats and swallowed the fish in order to increase its energy and continue to break through the transformation period. After being attacked by us, the Scaled Ironback Turtle had a strong desire for revenge. Now the frequency of attacks on fishing boats is obviously much higher."
"Even if it is an empty fishing boat, it will attack!"
"Oh? How strong is this Scaled Ironback Turtle?" Ryan asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Now its body length has exceeded ten meters, reaching twelve meters. In terms of combat power, I'm afraid only a great knight can deal with it." Haas sighed, as if he was sorry that he had not seized the opportunity to kill the Scale-whiskered Ironback Turtle before it transformed.
Originally, Ryan was just listening to the story. After all, such things were not uncommon, and the Empire had special procedures for handling them. But when he heard that the other party's body length was actually over ten meters, Ryan's eyes lit up slightly!
Because that doesn't mean that this Scale-whiskered Ironback Turtle can barely be considered a giant beast.
In this case, perhaps, he can have an extra "Giant Beast Essence".
So, Ryan continued to ask with great interest: "Does the Scale-whiskered Ironback Turtle have any special tricks?"
"Huh? Ryan, do you want to kill the Scale-whiskered Ironback Turtle? No, no! Although your strength is a little stronger than mine, it is still a world of difference compared to the Scale-whiskered Ironback Turtle!"
"Well, I just want to understand. I still don't know much about this kind of ferocious sea beast." Ryan shrugged and asked in a "kind" way.
"Haha, that's no problem! I thought you were going to try to kill the Scaled Ironback Turtle, don't try it!"
"Sheriff Benhard is also a retired member of the Imperial Navy. He has the strength of a senior knight, but he was still seriously injured." Haas's face was solemn and he advised.
"The most troublesome thing about this Scaled Ironback Turtle is its strong defense, especially its shell, which is harder than steel!"
"Now that the Scaled Ironback Turtle has passed the metamorphosis period, it will also cast an additional khaki shield to further enhance its defense! My knight's long sword can't cut it at all!"
"In addition, the Scaled Ironback Turtle itself has extremely fast strength and speed. Fortunately, we brought several giant crossbows at the time, otherwise, we might not be able to come back, and we lost two people during the retreat." Haas's
face seemed to be still in fear while he was talking.
Ryan nodded. This super strong defense is a bit difficult to deal with.
But for him, it shouldn't be a big problem.
Ryan touched the pig-headed hammer behind him.
Dinner time.
Ryan met Haas's parents. Haas's father was a fat middle-aged man with a smiling face. He was the chef of the nearby Campas Manor.
Haas's mother ran a bakery. She had a kind face and a slightly bloated body. It should be because she kneaded the dough all year round and needed a solid "base".
Both parents deal with "eating" all year round!
No wonder a civilian family can raise such a tall figure like Haas. Ryan thought.
When the two saw Ryan, they heard that he was a friend that Haas made during the noble enthronement assessment, and they greeted Ryan very warmly.
Dinner ended in a happy atmosphere, and Ryan also ate the stewed giant thorn salmon that Haas had always talked about!
A salmon weighing more than 20 kilograms is sprinkled with garlic, basil, and sage, and stewed for two hours. Both the aroma and taste are irresistible!
"How is it, Ryan, the giant thorn salmon is delicious, right?"
"It is indeed very delicious!"
"It's a pity that the fishing boats dare not leave the port recently. You know, these few days are the best time to catch giant thorn salmon." Haas sighed and said, as if he had thought of something.
"Is it because of that scale-whiskered iron-backed turtle?"
"Yes, it lurks in the narrow channel in and out of the port, and no fisherman is willing to risk his life to go out to sea to fish."
"After that, Sheriff Benhard said that since the entire Rossby County has been in turmoil recently, it will probably take a few days for the county town to send a team over."
So that's why the residents of the town are all worried. This is a fishing port town, and most of the residents are engaged in fishing-related industries.
"Don't worry! Haas, the empire has a vast territory and many masters. Maybe one of the masters passed by and killed the scale-whiskered iron-backed turtle." Ryan smiled and comforted.
"Haha, I hope you can become such a master one day, Ryan!" Haas laughed when he heard it.
He didn't expect that Ryan, who has always been a man of few words, sometimes has a sense of humor.
The next morning, Ryan rode on his black horse, said goodbye to the enthusiastic Haas family, and left the Larchmond fishing port. However, after he walked out of the town, he went around and came to the seaside.
At dinner yesterday, Ryan also knew the specific location of the scale-whiskered iron-backed turtle.
Ryan planned to solve the troubles of Haas and the residents of the town before leaving!
Holy Mother?
No!
It can only be blamed on the fact that this scale-whiskered iron-backed turtle can grow too long!
More than ten meters is the category of giant beasts mentioned by Master Gunther. The heart in the body will produce a special substance that can be used to make "behemoth essence".
So... I can only apologize.
In addition, Ryan also wants to try the hammer special effects that he newly comprehended last night!
Ryan focused his attention on the Knight (Extraordinary) panel, and a pair of big hands held the icon of the big hammer pattern-Tokkar Hammer Technique.
[Shock lv1 (Passive) Effect: You have a preliminary understanding of the nature of the Force, and can freely mobilize the Force to enhance the power of the hammer in your hand, making its shock effect slightly improved. 】
(Note: This effect is only effective when the host has the Force and the Force is not exhausted, and is only effective when the host holds a blunt weapon.)
(Note: This effect is an additional special effect of melee combat skills. After meeting the conditions, the next level will be automatically unlocked.)
This is what Ryan realized yesterday, about the special effect of blunt weapons.
However, Ryan's pig-headed hammer is quite special. When the flat end of the pig-headed hammer attacks, it is a blunt weapon, but when the spiked end attacks, it is a sharp weapon attack. The additional special effect is not a shock effect, but a sharp special effect.
But now Ryan still needs to do one thing, that is, add points!
The reason is also very simple. At present, his Tokkar hammer skill level is only lv5 (354/2000), and the attached shock and precision special effects are both lv1.
Maybe it is enough to deal with ordinary enemies, but for dealing with a large and violent sea beast, the Scaled Ironback Turtle, whose strength is comparable to that of a great knight and whose defense is far superior, Ryan thinks it is better to upgrade it to another level!
"Note: To unlock the shock level 2 of Tokkar Hammer, the following conditions must be met: 1. Tokkar Hammer level 6 or above; 2. Bear King Breathing Method level 6 or above."
"Note: To unlock the precision level 2 of Tokkar Hammer, the following conditions must be met: 1. Tokkar Hammer level 6 or above; 2. Strength 20 points, Agility 16 points, Constitution 18 or above."
From the requirements of the next level of the above two special effects, I only need to add a little skill point, and these two special effects can enter level 2.
High cost performance!
When the remaining skill points on the attribute panel changed from 3 to 2, Tokkar Hammer was also upgraded to level 6.
In an instant, a scattered memory of Tokkar Hammer training was instilled into Ryan's mind.
These scattered memory fragments of hammer training, like oil paintings, flashed through Ryan's mind and quickly merged into the memory of muscles and tendons throughout his body.
When Ryan opened his eyes again, it was as if he had experienced more than half a year of Tokkar Hammer training.
More importantly, the two special effects, 'Oscillation' and 'Precision', have been upgraded to level 2.
Ryan looked at the new text descriptions of the two special effects again. The descriptions of Oscillation and Precision are similar. Compared with level 1, the main change of level 2 is that 'slightly' has been changed to 'small amplitude'.
That is, the power is further improved!
At this moment, Ryan suddenly froze!
Because just now, the system prompt that surprised him suddenly appeared:
[Ding! It is detected that the host's two extraordinary combat skills have reached level 6, triggering a special advanced job transfer - Weapon Master (Legend)! ]
[The prerequisites for promotion to Weapon Master (Legend) are: 1. Any three extraordinary combat skills of different weapon categories are above level 10; 2. The physical limit value reaches 100%; 3. Any breathing method is above level 9; 4. Strength is above 20 points, agility is above 20 points, and constitution is above 20 points; 5. The high-level magic potion 'Behemoth Essence'. The current conditions are not met! Promotion to Weapon Master (Legend) failed! ]
Hiss!
Ryan was immediately attracted by two words: "Legend"
Legendary career panel?!
Looking at the system prompt that suddenly popped up, Ryan silently read it several times, and his heart was filled with excitement!
