Chapter 199 Mutation (two chapters in one)
A long convoy slowly walked on the path in the hills. From a distance, it looked like a long gray snake.
As the other party gradually approached, you can see that the surface of these carriages has a uniform two-headed wolf pattern as a coat of arms. Obviously, this is a noble convoy.
In the carriage of one of the carriages, Dennis's eyes were still slightly red. Obviously, he had not yet come out of the death of his father, Baron Norman.
In order to avoid the subsequent suppression from Rennes, Dennis decided to leave the county town immediately without spending too much time and return to his family's manor in the countryside.
Therefore, after taking most of the valuable items, Dennis organized this slightly bloated convoy at the fastest speed.
At this time, a cavalryman controlled the warhorse and quickly ran from the front of the convoy to the carriage in the center of the convoy where Dennis was.
"Hey! Master, the outpost just reported that many bandit groups have appeared in this area recently, and we just found traces of bandits, so I want to ask you if you want to take a detour?"
"Detour?" Dennis looked out of the carriage window and saw more than 20 carriages stretching for more than 100 meters. It was impossible to turn around in a short time.
If they really turned around, according to the outpost, wouldn't it be a good opportunity for the bandits to attack.
In addition, there are bandit groups.
Is there a need to make a fuss about bandit groups?
Which county in the empire doesn't have a few bandits on the road now?
So, Dennis, who thought he had figured it all out, said unhappily: "Are you all made of paper? Can a bandit group have formal knights? Even if there are, one is the most, and you have four!"
"Okay." The cavalryman who came to report thought about it and seemed to think that what his master said was right.
The messenger immediately controlled the horse and went to the front of the convoy to report the news.
Dennis looked at this scene and couldn't help sighing in his heart.
After his father lost the duel, the nobles who had been on good terms with him immediately turned against him and turned to lick the "pariah" Baron Ryan.
What Dennis couldn't stand the most was Baron Alonso, who had tried to win him over after his father became a great knight, but now he couldn't even see him.
Thinking of this, Dennis couldn't help but clench his hands.
I want revenge!
I want everyone to tremble at my feet!
As Dennis's thoughts were spreading, he suddenly heard cries for help from the front and back of the convoy, as well as sharp sounds of breaking through the air!
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!"
How dare the bandits attack such a large team?
Dennis pulled open the curtains and saw dozens of bandits rushing out from all sides, holding crossbows, killing and wounding the guards of his own convoy.
Just as he wanted to scold his guards for being so useless, he suddenly realized something was wrong.
Because the bandits who launched the attack, the several strong men leading them, were actually all full-fledged knights!
Hiss!
Two, no, three full-fledged knights?
Wait, this...
this is...
"This is a great knight!" Dennis' pupils suddenly shrank, his eyes widened, and he blurted out.
Because the faint fluorescence on the other party's body surface was more obvious than that of his father, Baron Norman, he was deeply impressed.
I saw a burly man wearing half-body armor, actually shooting against the crossbows of the guards, walking leisurely step by step, seemingly slow but actually fast.
"Damn it! How could this be possible! Goddess!" Dennis was horrified and kept muttering!
He would never believe it, there was actually a great knight in the bandit group?
Are great knights so "cheap" now?
With the addition of the great knights, the battle quickly became one-sided, and the guards of the Norman family suffered heavy casualties.
A few minutes later, Dennis was carried by a sturdy man like a dead dog and fell heavily to the ground in front of the burly man in half-body armor.
Dennis, who was knocked unconscious, only heard the sturdy man report to him: "Sir, this is the heir of the Norman family, the eldest son of the former Baron Norman."
"Huh? Just a quasi-knight?" Brigadier General Parix was quite expectant at first, but after looking down, he shook his head in disappointment.
Dennis didn't dare to look up at all. He just extended his sight along the ground and saw a pair of shiny plate armor boots occupying his field of vision. After killing four family knights, these boots were not stained with even a little mud.
When Dennis raised his sight a little higher, he saw the Norman family knights lying in a pool of blood a few meters in front of him, which made his heart sink.
He didn't want to die!
He was still young!
You know, he will soon be able to become a formal knight!
"Then sir, should we just kill this guy?" The sturdy man dressed as a captain hesitated for a moment, a little unsure of what his lord meant.
But when Dennis heard this, he was instantly scared!
Suddenly, he shouted instinctively: "I am useful! Don't kill me, aren't you bandits? I know which nobles in the county are the richest, and you will have rich rewards if you rob them."
"Oh?" Brigadier General Parricks couldn't help but smile when he heard this.
"Then tell me."
Brigadier General Parricks' words made Dennis feel like he had grabbed a life-saving straw. Suddenly, a light bulb flashed in his mind, and he blurted out:
"There is a new baron named Ryan, who just made a lot of money. There is also a Crowley family, who has also made a lot of money recently, at least tens of thousands of gold. Many people in the county know this, and you can go and verify it."
"Hahaha, interesting. Didn't Ryan just win a bloody duel, and the opponent was your father?" Brigadier General Parix laughed playfully after hearing Dennis' answer.
This instantly made Dennis' heart "thump".
Aren't you a bandit group?
How do you know about the bloody duel?
Moreover, you know it so clearly. Ryan defeated my father? Dennis was a little confused for a while.
"Boy, seeing you fleeing like moving, you should also be hiding from this Ryan, right?" Brigadier General Parix looked down at Dennis who was lying at his feet.
Dennis, who was a little confused, nodded subconsciously.
"Do you want revenge?" Parix continued to ask.
"Revenge?!" Dennis felt like he had come to heaven from hell. He didn't expect that the great knight "bandit" in front of him, who was stronger than his father, was willing to help him get revenge!
"Of course I do! Sir, can you help me get revenge?"
"No, no, you're wrong. Revenge is something you should do by yourself, but I will help you."
Hearing that the burly man would not attack directly, Dennis's mood could not help but fall down like a roller coaster.
Help is useless!
Ryan can even defeat his own father. Even if I help him, I can't defeat him! Dennis complained in his heart.
"But I am no match for Ryan. You know, my father was promoted to a great knight, but he didn't defeat Ryan." Dennis said euphemistically.
"I have a way to make you gain powerful strength, but it's a bit painful." Brigadier General Parricks thought about it and used the word "pain".
"Pain?" Dennis was a little confused.
At this time, Parricks waved his hand, and a sturdy man came over with an exquisite carved wooden box and opened it immediately.
A bottle of pink, transparent glass test tube with tiny bubbles appeared in front of Dennis.
The test tube was plugged with a wooden stopper, but a hint of sweet smell could still be smelled.
"This is a 'mutagenic potion'. Only prospective knights can take it. At the same time, they need to have a strong desire to survive in their hearts. Only in this way can they successfully possess powerful strength after taking it."
"As for the side effects, it's just a little painful." Paricks explained with a 'kind' face.
"This." Dennis looked thoughtful.
Of course, he knew that what the burly man in front of him said must not be the truth, or only part of the truth.
But now, does he have a choice?
Dennis lowered his head and glanced again at the several family knights who fell in a pool of blood and died with their eyes open.
He knew that if he dared not agree, there might be another corpse on the ground soon.
So... he had no choice!
"Okay, sir. If I still can't kill Ryan after taking the potion, I hope you can help me get rid of him."
"Of course, this is just a small matter for me."
"There are too many people here. You clean up the scene and escort Master Dennis to our base."
"Yes, sir."
"Are you ready?" Paricks asked with a smile.
"Okay, sir." Dennis has figured it out. Sooner or later, he will have to take it. It's better to be quick, at least he can get a little favor from the other party.
"Very good." Brigadier General Paricks waved his hand, and the sturdy man next to him immediately handed Dennis the bottle of pink test tube.
Dennis showed a hint of ruthlessness on his face. After pulling out the stopper without hesitation, he drank the pink liquid clean.
"Burp~"
Dennis burped, and at the same time, his eyes lit up!
He didn't expect that this "mutation potion" was so delicious!
Parricks looked at the scene with satisfaction, nodded, and said with a smile: "Wait a minute, it will be a little painful. In order to avoid hurting yourself, you need to wear a pair of shackles."
"This" Dennis looked suspicious, but facing the strong man who came forward with heavy shackles, he stretched out his hands helplessly.
"Click!"
The shackles were locked!
Dennis felt that the metal shackles made of special materials on his wrists were extremely heavy.
The air in the room was almost stagnant, and Dennis seemed to hear his heartbeat getting more and more intense!
About half a minute later, a burning pain came from his stomach!
"Ah!!"
Dennis screamed immediately!
The veins on his entire body began to bulge and bulge!
Fine scales began to appear on his skin all over his body.
Dennis felt the pain deep into his bones!
This is just a little pain?
Liar! ! !
"Sir, do you think this kid is a descendant of a noble family? Can he survive?" A sturdy man dressed as a team leader asked, looking at Dennis rolling on the ground in pain.
You know, they had found several people to experiment before, but none of them survived.
Those people, no matter which one, looked stronger than this Dennis.
"This 'Shadow Iguana Mutation Potion' is an experimental potion from the Eagle Federation, but the conditions for taking it are relatively harsh. It is best for quasi-knights, not formal knights. Because formal knights have taken advanced potions, it is difficult for them to complete the mutation."
"In addition, the user must have a strong desire to survive. After these two conditions are met, the success rate will be greatly improved." Brigadier General Paricks explained to his confidant.
However, he glanced at his confidant and found that his confidant's expression seemed to be a little bit unconvinced that Dennis could hold on.
"Why, you don't believe my judgment?"
"In fact, the more noble people are, the more they fear death. This Dennis's desire to survive is stronger than that of ordinary people. Moreover, his physical fitness is also top-notch among the quasi-knights."
"Your Excellency is wise!" The sturdy man who looked like a captain complimented with an expression of sudden enlightenment.
At this time, Parricks carefully looked at Dennis who was in the process of mutation and said:
"It should be basically successful. When he completes the mutation, send him directly to the city of Meister County to create panic."
"At the same time, send a few good people to keep records while Dennis is alive. This experimental record is very important. With it, you can exchange a lot of good things from the Eagle Federation."
"Yes, sir!" The sturdy man responded.
"Also, let those bandit groups that cooperate with us take action and increase their looting efforts in various areas. Soon, the situation in the entire Meester will become unstable."
-Meester
County.
In the study of Ryan's new mansion.
At this time, Ryan, who was looking at the attribute page, suddenly remembered that after the battle with the Nightmare Dragon Man, he had been busy asking Naya about some matters related to the wizard, so he forgot to check the system prompt:
[Your skill Tokadal Fist has been improved, experience value +32]
[You have experienced a battle, Knight (Super) experience value +16]
[Your skill Tokadal Fist has been improved, experience value +37]
[You have experienced a battle, Knight (Super) experience value +18]
[Your skill Tokkar Hammer has been improved, experience value +1889]
[You have experienced a battle, Knight (Super) experience value +455]
[You have experienced a battle, Wizard Apprentice (Super) experience value +25]
The previous ten or twenty points of Knight (Super) professional experience were all killed by those black tumor monsters in the dream.
The last few hundred points of experience were the reward for killing the Nightmare Dragon Man.
After this battle, the Knight (Extraordinary) reached level 5 (1789/2000), and it was not far from entering level 6. Tokkar Hammer reached level 10 (6205/20000).
In addition, the Kadar Fist, which Ryan was currently most concerned about, also reached level 4 (77/1000).
It can be said that this trip to the Usman family was still fruitful.
Ryan not only learned what the pale silver element that had been puzzling him for a long time was, but also understood the relevant prerequisites for the wizard's job change. At the same time, he earned a lot of experience.
Not staying in his own mansion for too long, Ryan continued to come to the blacksmith shop and began to use the box of ice iron ingots that he had won at the auction before.
As the ice iron shoulder guards were made one by one.
A few hours later, Ryan pushed the experience value of the armorer level 6 to (1221/3000).
At this time, a knock on the door suddenly sounded.
"Knock, knock,
knock!" "Come in!"
A male servant bowed respectfully and said, "Baron, the quartermaster said that something has arrived, but you need to go in person to sign for it."
Ryan was stunned, but he reacted immediately.
Eh?
Could it be that the custom knight armor made of water film steel is ready?
Calculating the time, it should be about the same.
"Okay, go and get busy."
After thinking about it, Ryan felt that it would be better to get it back as soon as possible.
After all, he spent a thousand merit points to exchange for the high-level knight armor, which is very valuable.
Although Ryan is now an armorer and has the ability to make this kind of high-level knight plate armor, for example, the ice iron suit he is making now is actually a high-level knight plate armor of the same grade as the water film steel suit.
But making a full set is still a time-consuming and laborious task.
At present, Ryan is making the simplest shoulder armor in the ice iron suit very quickly, with the purpose of quickly improving the armorer level, which is still two concepts compared to making a full set.
Half an hour later, Ryan took the carriage that the beautiful woman arranged for him and arrived at the military supply office in the county city in the north of the city.
When the guards saw the emblem of nobility on the carriage, they let him go directly. There was no need for Ryan to show his emblem like before. This was the embodiment of the privilege of nobility.
When he walked into the hall of the military supply room again, Ryan found that the person who measured his height and weight that time was also working behind the counter.
When the ponytailed civilian girl saw Ryan, who was quite handsome in a black noble hunting suit, coming in, she seemed to notice something and immediately looked up at Ryan.
Obviously, the ponytailed girl was impressed by Ryan. After seeing that it was Ryan, she immediately came out from behind the counter, showing a sweet smile and said:
"Lord Ryan, you are here. The high-level knight suit you ordered has arrived."
"I have received the notice. This time I came to check it." Ryan nodded to the ponytailed civilian girl.
"Okay, Lord Ryan, please follow me to the fitting room. After you try it on, if there are no problems, just sign for it."
"Okay, thank you."
Then, Ryan followed the ponytailed civilian girl into the fitting room next to him. He saw a staff member pushing a heavy box over with a cart. After putting it down, he left.
"Sir, your water-film steel suit is inside." The ponytailed civilian girl opened the box and gestured with her hand.
Ryan nodded and took out the knight suit with a silver surface of water-film steel. The silver color of water-film steel is a little different from the ordinary silver color. There seems to be a layer of water-like film on the surface, which looks very bright.
In addition, Ryan noticed that there was a separate crotch guard in the center of the silver leg armor, which was specially added according to his request last time.
With the help of the ponytailed civilian girl, Ryan tried it on and found that it was still quite suitable.
Although his height was a few centimeters shorter than it is now, he left a margin at that time, so it is just right for him now.
Facing Ryan, who was wearing a bright silver knight suit, the ponytailed civilian girl blushed and looked at Ryan frequently, but soon lowered her head.
"Not bad, I am very satisfied."
"That's good, Lord Ryan. If there is no need to change anything again, please sign for it. Please sign here." The girl handed Ryan a thin wooden board with a receipt for the items on it.
Ryan picked up the feather pen and wrote down his name.
Not long after Ryan returned to the blacksmith shop from the military supply department, there was another knock on the door!
"Knock, knock, knock!"
This made Ryan frown slightly.
"Come in!"
"Dear, Earl Habsburg's messenger just brought you a letter." The beautiful woman walked in with a smile, holding a letter in her hand.
When Ryan saw that it was the beautiful woman, his brows couldn't help but relax, but when he heard what the beautiful woman said, Ryan's heart moved slightly.
Could it be that he was asked to rush to the fishing port town?
"Oh?"
Ryan took the envelope handed over by the beautiful woman and opened it to read.
It only read:
"Baron Ryan: The situation in the fishing port town has further deteriorated. A cult called Poseidon has won over many pirates. Not only has it basically cut off the shipping route, but it has also launched looting in the fishing port town from time to time."
". I am currently in Rossby City, coordinating the Sixth Fleet of the Imperial South Sea Fleet. Soon, they will launch a strike against the Poseidon Cult and the pirates from the sea, but you will need to cooperate on land."
". In the next two days, there should be a task force from the Sixth Fleet to find you."
The content of the letter was quite long. After Ryan read it carefully, he basically understood the situation facing the fishing port town.
First of all, the fishermen were basically unable to go out to sea to fish, and the whole fishing port town was in a panic. In addition, the occasional pirate landing harassment has killed two town sheriffs in succession.
This put the entire town on the verge of collapse.
Now a strong person is urgently needed to stabilize the situation.
In addition, the Imperial South Sea Fleet has been dispatched before, but after two consecutive times, it was found that the effect was not good.
As soon as the Poseidon Cult and the pirates saw the Imperial Navy coming, they started playing hide-and-seek. Once the South China Sea Fleet withdrew, the other side would re-emerge and begin to develop believers and attack and plunder along the coast.
And the tasks that Earl Habsburg gave Ryan in the letter were two points.
First, to maintain the public security of the fishing port town and prevent it from deteriorating further.
Secondly, to find out which island near the coast the Poseidon Cult and the pirates were mainly hiding in, so that it would be convenient for the Imperial South China Sea Fleet to send elite troops to carry out decapitation operations.
Seeing Ryan frowning slightly, the beautiful woman asked with concern: "Dear, did Earl Habsburg ask you to go to the fishing port town? I have heard about it these days, and it seems that the situation there is not very good."
Ryan nodded and said: "The situation is indeed very bad, but not now. I will set off again after the navy arrives, but it should be in the next two days."
It seems that I have to speed up the progress of forging.
At least before leaving, I have to upgrade the armorer to level 7!
——It
hurts!
Where am I?
Dennis opened his eyes and looked around. It was an empty room, but he was a little familiar with it. Wasn't this the mansion where his family lived before he left the county town?
How did he get back here?
Was he sent back by those people?
Dennis shook his head and suddenly realized something was wrong.
It was night. There was no moonlight today, and the starlight was dim, but how could he see things so clearly, as if it were daytime!
When Dennis stood up and saw himself in the silver mirror on the wall, he was stunned for a few seconds, and then he made a strange cry!
"Hiss~hiss~"
What was in front of him was not a person, but a giant iguana standing up!
Sharp claws, light green scales all over the body, sharp spines, no matter how you look at it, you can't tell that it was once a person.
What the hell is this mutagenic potion?
It's clearly a lizard potion!
In the bushes not far away, two good resistance fighters were lying, and they were using copper single-pass telescopes to observe the mutated Dennis.
"Hey, do you think this Dennis is crazy?"
"I shouldn't, and he will definitely notice the change in his strength. Just watch, he will attack soon."
A few minutes later.
Looking at himself in the silver mirror, Dennis realized that he was tricked by the burly man!
But the next second, he felt the power in his body that was about to overflow like a volcano, and his regrets were reduced a lot.
Extending his claw-like hands, Dennis waved lightly, and a slight whistle that tore the air was emitted.
At the same time, he keenly felt that he seemed to be able to control some functions of his skin.
After using it.
Hey!
The self in the silver mirror was almost "disappeared". Is this a color change?
It seems that he has merged into the surrounding environment.
This made Dennis' mood seem to have improved a lot.
Ryan, wait! Hehe! Even if I can't kill you, I can secretly kill all your family members!
And those nobles who look down on me! All must die!
"Swoosh!"
A nearly transparent figure flashed by and rushed out of the mansion!
