Chapter 191 Undercurrent (Two chapters in one)
Meister County City.
In the hall of the Monsoon and Ocean Goddess Temple.
Ryan looked at the experience value of each extraordinary profession on the attribute panel and looked thoughtful.
Wizard Apprentice (Extraordinary) lv4 (358/1000)/Knight (Extraordinary) lv5 (795/2000)/Beast Tamer (Extraordinary) lv5 (64/2000).
After a quick weighing, Ryan first ruled out the Knight (Extraordinary) profession panel, because he was facing a lot of battles now, and the current means of fighting the enemy were mainly based on the Knight's combat skills, so the experience value that could be obtained from the Knight panel was quite rich.
Secondly, as for the Beast Tamer, he recently had some new potions that he wanted to try, and it was estimated that he could also gain a lot of experience.
From this point of view, the most difficult to improve is the first item.
So, in the end, Ryan still focused his attention on the Wizard Apprentice (Extraordinary) profession panel.
As Ryan silently chanted "Wizard Apprentice", 1976 experience points were instantly used on the Wizard Apprentice (Extraordinary) career panel.
Instantly, a system prompt appeared:
[Congratulations, your Wizard Apprentice (Extraordinary) career level has been upgraded! ]
The Wizard Apprentice (Extraordinary) career level on the panel changed from lv4 to lv5 (1325/2000), and at the bottom of the panel, it was prompted that the remaining attribute points: 3, and the remaining skill points: 2.
Seeing this scene, Ryan couldn't help but smile brightly.
Goddess's blessing?
It's really good!
In response, Ryan sincerely performed a knight's salute to Bishop Xien and said, "Thank you, Goddess, thank you, Bishop!"
After a friendly conversation, Ryan took the initiative to mention that he had something to do at home.
So, after saying goodbye to Bishop Xien and Primate Rudolf, Ryan slowly walked out of the hall.
Bishop Xien looked aside and asked, "Rudolf, you have a sharp eye. I didn't expect that the young man you reported to me once before has grown to this extent."
"It's a pity that such an excellent young man couldn't join our church."
When Ryan rode a tall black warhorse back to the new mansion, the first person to welcome him was the greyhound 'Cookie'.
Because Ryan had handed over the care of Cookie to his sister Mint before leaving, after a month of adding a few drops of mutation growth potion to his three meals a day, Cookie's physique had surpassed that of an ordinary greyhound.
In addition, Ryan keenly discovered that the greyhound's body shape began to change from a thin dog, and the muscles on its body were obviously protruding, which was gradually moving away from the slender body of the greyhound breed itself, and it seemed that some kind of mutation growth had begun.
Not bad!
Ryan nodded slightly. Although becoming stronger might lead to a decrease in speed, he could still accept this kind of mutation.
If he mutated into a talent similar to "high-speed reproduction" like the dog king 'Cole', he would have a headache.
Seeing Cookie, who was originally playing with him, suddenly ran out, Mint was stunned for a moment, then immediately looked up, and then shouted with joy: "Brother, it's brother who is back!"
Ryan got off the horse, picked up his sister Mint, and rubbed her head with a smile.
Soon, the news of Ryan's return spread throughout the new mansion.
After a while, the beautiful woman Jennifer also walked out of the villa in the mansion.
However, when she saw Ryan chatting with his family, the beautiful woman could only temporarily resist the urge to rush into Ryan's arms, and smiled and watched Ryan.
Soon, Ryan noticed the beautiful woman with a hint of worry between her eyebrows.
Ryan said to his mother Emma and old Ryan: "Father, mother, Baroness Crawley and I have something to discuss."
"Well, go." Mother Emma did not doubt him and nodded readily.
Because during the time when Ryan was away, Baroness Crawley got along with her quite happily. In the eyes of her mother Emma, it seemed that the ladies and young ladies of the noble family were not as difficult to get along with as she imagined.
Especially this beautiful baroness, although she was not much younger than her, when the two walked together, they looked like two generations.
When the old man saw this beautiful woman, he didn't even dare to raise his head, and blushed at the sight of her.
This made Emma envy the natural beauty of the beautiful woman.
Looking at the tall Ryan and the elegant beautiful woman's backs leaving, Emma had a feeling for no reason that "these two people are a good match."
But soon, Emma shook her head and threw this absurd idea out of her mind. It would be better
if Miss Jenny was Ryan's wife.
Although this beautiful baroness was good-looking, she was a widow, and she was too old after all.
Ryan and the beautiful woman soon came to the study on the second floor.
The beautiful woman locked the door, and the smile she had just shown in front of outsiders could no longer be maintained. With a sad face, she handed Ryan something in the shape of an invitation, and said worriedly: "Dear, this is Baron Norman's bloody duel book."
In private occasions between the two, the beautiful woman now called Ryan dear.
Ryan smiled and said nothing. Instead, after taking the duel book, he opened it and took a look:
"Baron Ryan: Since your insult to the Norman family can only be washed away with blood, please agree to fight with me in the duel field of the county city on the second Sunday of the Snow Moon to defend the honor of the knights, until one of us falls. After the duel, all the hatred will be written off!"
Ryan couldn't help but laugh on the spot when he saw such a shameless duel book.
What an insult to the Norman family!
It was your Norman family who repeatedly assassinated me that led to the current situation!
However, Ryan thought about it and understood that this was a strategy of the other party.
First, I'll talk nonsense to win the sympathy of everyone. The general idea is that you, the new baron, have insulted the Norman family. Otherwise, how can I challenge you to a duel?
As for the evidence?
Of course, there is none. That's how nobles are.
However, seeing the worried expression on the beautiful woman's face, Ryan smiled gently, walked up to hug the beautiful woman's warm body, and comforted her:
"Jennifer, don't worry, maybe the situation is not as bad as you think."
After thinking about it, in order to reassure the beautiful woman, Ryan took out the silver conch medal that Bishop Xien had just given from his arms and handed it to the beautiful woman.
The beautiful woman looked at Ryan with doubtful eyes at first, but when she took the medal and looked at it, she quickly reacted and exclaimed: "Is this the silver conch medal of the Church of the Goddess of Monsoon and Ocean?"
"That's right!"
"This is very difficult to award. Ordinary people who dedicate their lives to the Church of the Goddess may not be able to obtain the Iron Shell Medal. Dear, what is your medal?" The beautiful woman turned her head and asked curiously.
Ryan did not answer directly, but smiled and asked: "Do you know the Wilderness Brotherhood?"
The beautiful woman nodded affirmatively and said: "Of course I know, they are notorious in the whole Mayest County. Some time ago, the shops under the Crowley family were also disrupted by gangsters instructed by them. I spent a lot of effort to deal with it at that time."
"Well, do you know who their president is?" Ryan continued to ask.
"It seems to be Giovanni, nicknamed 'Beast Knight'. He is very powerful. It is said that he is a little afraid of the Great Knight. He doesn't take other people, even the peak knights, seriously."
Although the beautiful woman didn't know why Ryan suddenly mentioned the Wilderness Brotherhood and Giovanni, she quickly answered.
"Very good, then do you think Giovanni is stronger, or is the current strength of this Norman Baron stronger?" Ryan asked another question.
"This. Is it about the same? It is said that both of them have a combat power close to that of the Great Knight. Perhaps Giovanni is stronger." The beautiful woman thought for a while and said.
"Well, don't you want to know why the Goddess Church awarded me this silver conch medal?"
"Because I killed Giovanni!" Ryan looked at the beautiful woman with a smile and revealed the answer.
The beautiful woman's eyes widened instantly, and her cherry mouth opened so wide that an egg could almost fit in.
"This, this." The beautiful woman said this for a long time, but couldn't come up with this answer.
Obviously, it's not appropriate to say "This is impossible!", and saying "How is this possible?" is also a question to Ryan, and the beautiful woman naturally won't say it out loud.
However, the beautiful woman never thought that her little man would be so strong.
No! The most terrifying thing is this speed of improvement!
You know, Ryan just stepped into the official knight a few months ago!
God! This is incredible!
Then, the beautiful woman suddenly understood why Ryan had to go through so much trouble.
Because, most of the worries in her heart dissipated instantly, and the beautiful woman's original sad face also quickly disappeared. Her white and rosy skin gradually began to shine. Her beautiful eyes looked at Ryan with deep affection and admiration.
Being stared at by the beautiful woman, Ryan immediately felt a sense of male pride surging in his heart.
Although it was almost dinner time, the two people who were in a heated mood still acted quickly.
Ryan gently picked up the beautiful woman and placed her in front of the window of the study, letting the beautiful woman look far ahead, while he lifted the hem of her skirt, revealing her white and round.
Because of the fear that the servants would come to call the two to enjoy dinner, and other possible interruptions at any time, the degree of stimulation was inevitably increased by several points.
The beautiful woman suppressed her panting and soon collapsed.
Ryan, who entered the sage state, began to think about business.
Because if you only have women in your heart and everything revolves around women, then I'm sorry, this will only affect the speed of a man drawing his sword.
Ryan had understood this a long time ago, so these things were just a kind of adjustment for his boring practice, or in other words, they made him happy physically and mentally, so that he could devote himself to practice and combat in a better state.
After going through the several prerequisites for the promotion of the [Weapon Master (Legend)] profession panel again, Ryan found that in addition to the first item, the three extraordinary combat skills lv10, it was probably the behemoth essence that was stuck on him.
The most important thing about the extraordinary combat skills lv10 was to obtain enough skill points by upgrading the professional level of the panel, but for the behemoth essence, it seemed that he only knew one channel.
That was through the county city munitions department.
However, he just thought of a problem. His duel opponent, Baron Norman, was a retired member of the Imperial Navy. If he went to the munitions department openly, the news might soon reach his ears and set obstacles for himself or the behemoth essence.
After thinking for a while, Ryan lowered his head and asked:
"By the way, Jennifer, do you know the giant beast essence potion?"
"Is it the giant beast essence that a knight needs to become a great knight?" The beautiful woman lying in Ryan's arms said in a lazy tone after the rain.
"Yes, is there any way to get this as quickly as possible? By the way, if you need raw materials, I still have two pieces of giant beast hearts here." Ryan added.
Hearing this, Jennifer, who was originally lying on her back, raised her head, blinked her beautiful eyes, and looked surprised, as if she couldn't believe the words of the man in front of her.
Although she is not a knight, as the ruler of the Crowley family, she naturally knows this kind of common sense.
The meaning between the lines of Ryan's words is very clear-he needs the giant beast essence.
This means that the little man in front of him, no, the 'big' man, is about to impact the level of the great knight.
But now is the white snow month. Jennifer learned from Emma that Ryan has just turned sixteen.
Is he going to become a great knight?
Oh my God!
A sixteen-year-old Great Knight, I wonder if there is such an exaggerated thing in the provincial capital of Munster!
This time, Jennifer did not ask Ryan if he was sure of becoming a Great Knight, but assumed that her little man must be very sure.
Wait, and Ryan just said that he had two ready-made Behemoth Hearts?
Jennifer felt that her brain was not enough!
After calming down her excitement, Jennifer thought seriously for the little man's important matter and said in a soft voice:
"I'm not sure which of the three ways is more suitable."
"In addition, this also involves safety issues, so, in the end, you still need to make the decision."
Jennifer said, tapping Ryan's chest with her white fingers.
"There are only two pharmacy masters in the entire Mayest County, and one of them is not good at making giant beast essence potions. Therefore, there is actually only one pharmacy master in the county who can make 'giant beast essence', and that is Master Holander."
"But the problem is that Master Holander's success rate in making medicine is quite different from that of the masters of the Royal Pharmacist Association, both in terms of efficacy and success rate."
"If it were elementary and intermediate potions, it would be fine, but giant beast essence is a high-level potion, and I'm afraid the success rate is worrying. But this should be the fastest way. Normally, if Master Holander agrees, the production of giant beast essence will be completed within three days."
"Of course, what you wait for after three days may also be a failure."
"The second is to go through the Axon Auction House, which is a huge auction house spanning the entire empire. It is said that the backer behind it is a big shot in the entire empire."
"Perhaps other auction houses do not have the channels to get giant beast essence, but the Axon Auction House is likely to be able to do so. The only difference is that the price is extremely high. At the same time, the time is relatively uncertain. It may be soon, or it may take a month."
"Finally, it is purchased through the official channels of the Empire."
"My dear, as an official of the Empire, you are now a baron, so you can directly order the essence of the giant beast. Of course, if you can provide the heart of the giant beast, the price can be greatly reduced, but the speed is also the slowest, and one month is the minimum time."
Hearing that Jennifer knew so much about various secrets, Ryan felt a sense of surprise as if he had found a treasure by accident.
Unexpectedly, the beautiful woman was not just a vase in addition to being beautiful and charming. Although she was not familiar with martial arts, she was very familiar with the secrets of the nobility, business secrets, etc.
The other party's analysis of each item just now was of great help to him.
"By the way, Jennifer, there is one more thing. Send someone to contact Hamilton, the sheriff of Shimmering Gold Town, and tell him that I invited him to discuss something."
"Yes." The beautiful woman lay on Ryan's chest again and said obediently.
Ryan, who was in a good mood, felt that it was necessary to reward the beautiful woman again, so the two did not end their in-depth communication until half an hour later, when a servant came to report that dinner was ready.
The radiant beauty combed her messy hair and restored her elegant look. She walked out of the study with Ryan one after the other.
It must be said that the beauty was very efficient. Not long after dinner, Ryan saw Hamilton who had just arrived in the study.
The first time he saw Ryan, Hamilton grabbed Ryan and said in a deep voice: "Do you know that Baron Norman is looking for you for a bloody duel?"
Ryan nodded, and at the same time, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
So he repeated part of what he said to Jennifer to Hamilton.
Although Hamilton had overestimated Ryan's fighting ability as much as possible in his heart, what Ryan just said still shocked him!
Hamilton looked up and down at the most familiar stranger in front of him, and asked, "Ryan, did you really kill Giovanni on your own?"
Although Ryan had just said it very clearly, and the silver conch medal of the Goddess Church was really real, Hamilton still couldn't believe it at once. His former subordinate, his adjutant Ryan, has now reached such a height.
This height that he needs to look up to!
Seeing Ryan nodded, Hamilton sighed.
But soon, Hamilton adjusted his mentality and said, "However, Ryan, you still can't take it lightly. Baron Norman has rich combat experience and his combat power is not inferior to Giovanni."
"I understand!" Ryan nodded and said.
"By the way, Ryan, why did you call me here this time?" Hamilton asked.
"My lord, this time I want to ask, about the knight's entry into the Grand Knight, is there anything special to pay attention to in this process?" Ryan asked.
"Hmm? You have reached this level?" Hamilton's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at Ryan with a sharp gaze.
"It should be soon." Ryan nodded.
Hamilton looked thoughtful, but did not answer Ryan's question immediately. After a long while, he spoke:
"The biggest difference between a great knight and a knight is..."
-
In a study in Baron Norman's mansion.
Alonso's butler Michel was visiting Baron Norman.
"Baron, I brought greetings from Baron Alonso. First of all, congratulations on your recovery to the peak of your strength."
"Thank Baron Alonso for his concern for me," Norman said reservedly, still a little unhappy in his heart.
If he had to give some respect to the butler of the Earl's eldest son Alonso before, it would be different now that his strength has recovered and he is likely to become a great knight.
He felt that even if Alonso came to congratulate him in person, it would not be too much, but this time, the other party, as usual, only sent a butler.
Although Michelle was not strong, he had been immersed in the aristocratic circle for so many years. Through his attitude and expression, he could still guess Baron Norman's true thoughts. After complaining in his heart, he smiled and said,
"Baron, I have a piece of news that I believe you will be interested in. It is about your duel opponent Ryan."
"Oh?" Baron Norman raised his eyebrows and glanced at Michelle casually, not caring much.
Because in Baron Norman's view, with his current strength, he no longer needs to care about the news from Ryan.
However, since Michelle said so, it would be okay for him to listen.
"Ryan killed the Wilderness Brotherhood's president, 'Beast Knight' Giovanni, one-on-one outside the county city today!" Michel's face was serious, and he said a shocking news.
"What!" Baron Norman's originally calm face suddenly turned into a state of shock, staring at Michel with burning eyes, and couldn't help blurting out.
Sure enough! Michel raised a smile at the corner of his mouth.
I told you to pretend!
Shocked! You
think you are awesome just because your strength has recovered!
You are just a long sword in the hands of Lord Baron Alonso, and what we are doing is to make your long sword sharper.
"It's true, this is our man, I saw it with my own eyes!" Michel restrained the smile at the corner of his mouth and said solemnly.
Baron Norman is worthy of having experienced great storms. Except for the initial loss of composure, he soon calmed down.
He didn't speak for a long time, but frowned and thought about something.
Baron Norman was not only familiar with Beast Knight Giovanni, but also fought against each other a long time ago because of the family caravan.
At that time, he was not injured and was not in peak condition, but he was still a little behind the opponent in the battle. However, the opponent was also afraid of his strength and took the initiative to retreat.
Therefore, even if his strength has recovered to the peak now, he dare not say that he can defeat Giovanni.
But Ryan has already done it.
This made Norman's mood sink from the peak to the bottom of the valley.
Originally, he thought that the bloody duel in a week would be easy to catch!
Ryan, no matter how talented you are, I won't give you the opportunity to grow. I will kill you in advance.
But now it seems that I misjudged it. Ryan's growth rate is too amazing!
This level of talent is quite explosive even in the provincial capital of Munster.
After a long time, the butler Michel said with a smile: "Lord Alonso means that if you need any help from us, you can ask. Our goals are the same. We all hope that you can win in the bloody duel next week."
Norman nodded.
In this way.
His original plan will be advanced.
Originally, his idea was that after killing Ryan in the bloody duel, he would take advantage of the victory and take the "Giant Beast Essence" to strive to break through to the Great Knight in one go.
You know, for his age, this is probably the biggest chance for him to break through to the Great Knight. If he
fails again this time, there will be no secret medicine that can restore his peak strength.
But facing Ryan who can already kill Giovanni, it seems that breaking through to the Great Knight is the only way to win!
Although he had ordered a bottle of Giant Beast Essence through his special channel two days ago, it would take at least half a month for it to be delivered to Meister.
There is no time.
After thinking about it, Baron Norman said: "I need a bottle of Giant Beast Essence, the sooner the better! At the latest, give it to me the day before the bloody duel, are you sure?"
"What!" Michel was shocked. He instantly understood what Baron Norman meant. The other party wanted to break through to the Great Knight realm in advance.
Once successful, he can crush Ryan and win in the bloody duel.
As expected of the elites from the Imperial Navy, tut tut, I still underestimated them, they are courageous, and dare to risk their lives for victory!
"Okay, I will tell Baron Alonso immediately. Although it is difficult, I believe that Lord Alonso will find a way."
"Without further delay, Lord Baron Norman, I will take my leave first." Michelle knew that the matter was of great importance, so he chose to leave first.
When Michelle came to Baron Alonso's study and reported the meeting, Alonso looked thoughtful and said:
"There should be a copy of the heart of the giant beast in the family's treasure house. I will apply to my father later. Then, Michelle, you will give it to Master Holland."
"In addition, please help me contact the Axon Auction House and ask if they have the essence of the giant beast. If so, I will take it no matter how much it costs."
"Respect, Lord Baron!"
-
Late at night, Mayest County, the seaside of the fishing port town.
The bright moonlight scattered on the sea, and the moonlight was sparkling.
A small boat rushed onto the beach with a 'swish' sound.
Seven or eight fully armed strong men quickly jumped off the boat and stood guard. Then, a strong man who looked like a team leader reported in a low voice: "Commodore Parekes, it's safe! You can get off the boat."
As soon as the team leader finished speaking, a shiny plate armor boot stepped out of the cabin of the boat and stepped on the beach, directly crushing a fiddler crab into a meat paste.
Looking up along the shiny plate armor boot, I saw a burly man wearing half armor walking out of the cabin.
After looking around, he asked: "Have you contacted Majis, the liaison officer in Meister?"
"Where is the person who came to pick him up?"
"That idiot Andre was actually caught in the same trap. It's so embarrassing! Now I need to clean up his mess."
It seems that this Brigadier General Parekes is quite dissatisfied with the rebels sending him to be responsible for the overall operation of Meister County!
