Chapter 219 Born to be Fierce (Two chapters in one)
A fluffy yellowish bird head suddenly popped out of the purple eggshell, holding a small piece of broken purple eggshell in its mouth. At first glance, it looked no different from an ordinary chick. When
the bird saw Ryan's appearance, its lively eyes couldn't help but look at him curiously, as if it felt that Ryan had no ill will towards it, so it chirped twice in a crisp and cheerful voice.
Ryan smiled, walked over immediately, carefully picked up the fluffy bird, placed it in his palm, and stroked it a few times.
After a little thought, Ryan went out and said to the guard beside him: "Please ask Miss Veronica to come over."
"Yes, Baron!"
After a while, Veronica, dressed in a light blue robe, trotted to Ryan's lounge. Just as she was about to ask Ryan something, her beautiful eyes immediately noticed the newly hatched bird in Ryan's hand.
Veronica was stunned for a moment, her mouth slightly opened, and then she stretched out her white fingers and asked in surprise: "Sir Ryan, could this be the little thing that came out of the purple giant egg?"
"Yes, Miss Veronica, I asked you to come here just to ask you, can you tell what kind of bird it is now? And what should I feed it?"
Veronica walked up quickly, then pinched the beak of the chick, checked its claws, nodded, and said: "Sir Ryan, although I can't accurately identify the species of this bird, it should be some kind of bird of prey."
"If you want to feed it, it should be insects, animal meat or fish. And seeing that it is so powerful at birth, it is very likely to be a natural ferocious species. If you can feed it ferocious animal meat directly, it would be the best."
After listening, Ryan nodded and said: "Thank you Miss Veronica."
This is simple.
Ferocious animal meat, I have it ready here, and I still have a lot of violent bear meat left for my own practice, so I can try it.
He walked to the cabinet, took out a piece of raw bear meat, tore off a small piece of meat, and handed it to the chick. The chick opened its mouth anxiously, swallowed the small piece of meat in one gulp, and
at the same time, it chirped twice happily, as if to say, "Are there any more? If there are, give me some more."
Veronica looked at it for a while and reminded: "Sir Ryan, it seems that it likes the bear meat you feed it, but many chicks have a history of being fed to death, so you still have to pay attention to the amount of food."
At this time, there was a sound of birds flapping their wings outside the window, and a large white seagull landed by the window and looked at Veronica.
Veronica's face was happy, and the twin ponytails behind her head swung happily, saying: "Sir Ryan, my mentor Master Enius has replied to my letter. It seems that we will know the answer soon."
The girl walked quickly to the window, opened the window, and quickly communicated with the white seagull.
A few seconds later, Veronica said to Ryan with a little surprise and resentment: "Sir Ryan, you are so lucky. My mentor said after identification that this is most likely the egg of a wandering blood-feathered horned eagle."
"I have been searching for so long, why don't I have this kind of luck?"
"Blood-feathered horned eagle? Miss Veronica, can you briefly introduce it?" Ryan raised his eyebrows and asked back.
He didn't know what kind of bird it was.
"Of course, the blood-feathered horned eagle is ferocious by nature. It is a naturally ferocious species. Unlike the ferocious species of ordinary eagles, it does not fly fast, but when it grows up, it is close to the size of a horse, with a wingspan of four or five meters wide, strong muscles, a beak and claws as hard as steel, and is very good at melee."
"In addition, an adult blood-feathered horned eagle has a pair of antlers on its head, which is a very obvious sign."
A melee raptor?
Although it is not a raptor that can display its innate abilities as expected, who dares to say that super melee ability is not a talent?
Ryan nodded, but frowned slightly, and said, "Then Miss Veronica, why did the eggs of the Bloodfeather Hippogryph appear in the nest of the Ironbeak Sea Eagle?"
"Hehe, that's what I wanted to say." Veronica couldn't help but chuckle, and suddenly, her pretty face was as bright as a flower.
"The pressure of the Bloodfeather Hippogryph will force the raptors of lower levels to leave their nests, and then the Bloodfeather Hippogryph will lay eggs in the other's nests. Generally speaking, only one or two eggs are laid."
"At the same time, it will also release a special smell that will make the raptors think that the eggs are their own, even if the two eggs are very different in size."
Ryan nodded, he understood a little.
"So, the Blood-Feathered Hippogryph is a kind of raptor that parasitizes its eggs?"
Veronica shook her head and said, "Not really. According to the instructor, the Blood-Feathered Hippogryph rarely does this."
"In a stable living environment, it would not choose to do this. It should be when it encounters some special circumstances, such as fighting, competition, etc., that it will parasitize its eggs." "
So, you can see that its eggs did not hatch early, and it did not push the chicks of the Iron-Beaked Sea Eagle out of the nest."
Ryan understood a little.
From this point of view, he was really lucky this time, picking up an egg of a naturally ferocious species.
"By the way, the instructor also suggested that because the growth cycle of the Blood-Feathered Hippogryph is longer than that of ordinary birds, and its temperament will quickly become extremely ferocious as it grows, so please use the bird transformation technique as soon as possible, let the other party get familiar with you, and at the same time promote its growth."
"Thank you, Miss Veronica, and thank Master Enius for me." Ryan bowed slightly and nodded.
Sure enough, only by letting professionals do such professional things can he get a nearly optimal solution so quickly.
"By the way, Mr. Ryan, although you observed my bird transformation technique last time, you probably haven't mastered it yet, right? I will try to demonstrate it to you once a day these days." Veronica said enthusiastically. Looking
at
Veronica's sincere eyes, Ryan didn't know what to say for a moment.
Say that he has mastered the 'Aenius Bird Transformation Technique'?
This kind of learning ability is too scary. After all, I just watched it once!
So, Ryan thought for a while, nodded, and said with a smile: "Then I'll trouble Miss Veronica. I'm not very proficient in bird transformation."
"Hehe, Mr. Ryan, your talent in knighthood is already outstanding. It's normal if the goddess didn't change your wizard qualifications to the same."
Veronica couldn't help but smile.
The two soon came to the simple alchemy room where Veronica was last time.
"Sir Ryan, you can use ready-made rapid growth potions, phantom grass, etc."
"But the moonlight ink used to draw the hexagram magic array later needs to be made by the caster himself. When making it, you need to inject extremely subtle mental power to modulate it."
"In addition, moonlight ink has a time limit. It is most effective within twelve hours, and can be barely used between twelve and twenty-four hours. But once it exceeds twenty-four hours, most of the special energy particles contained in it will dissipate, and it is almost impossible to use it to draw the magic array."
"So, the first small level is to modulate the moonlight ink."
"The second difficulty is to draw the magic array yourself."
Veronica demonstrated the Ennius bird transformation technique again, while step by step, very carefully pointing out several difficulties in the bird transformation technique.
Although Ryan had already learned it, he seemed to be infected by the girl's sincerity and listened very seriously.
As the twin-tailed girl finished the demonstration, Ryan, who was watching on the side, once again received several system prompts:
[You focused on observing the Ennius bird transformation technique, and your understanding of it has improved! 】
【Your skill Enius Bird Transformation has been upgraded, experience +54】
【You focus on Enius Bird Transformation, wizard apprentice (superb) experience +132】
【Congratulations, your skill Enius Bird Transformation has been upgraded to level 2】
After gaining 54 experience points again, Ryan's Enius Bird Transformation has suddenly moved from level 1 (69/100) to level 2 (23/300).
A series of scattered fragments of Enius Bird Transformation memory began to be injected into Ryan's mind, and these memories were quickly absorbed and mastered by Ryan.
"Sir Ryan, just watching is not enough, why don't you give it a try?" The girl with twin ponytails wiped the fine sweat from her forehead and said.
After thinking about it, Ryan felt that he had observed it twice, plus Veronica's careful teaching, and it shouldn't be so exaggerated that he could complete some of the steps now.
So, Ryan nodded and said, "Of course, Miss Veronica, I'll try it now."
"Of course, Lord Ryan, you can try it first." Veronica smiled and made way. She planned to see how much Ryan had mastered.
Perhaps, after failing seven or eight times, he should be able to barely mix the moonlight ink? Veronica thought so.
Five minutes later,
seeing Ryan's success in his hand, the moonlight ink emitting a faint fluorescent light, Veronica was stunned and said, "Lord Ryan, very good, you have overcome the first difficulty."
Ten minutes later.
Veronica looked at the new magic array on the ground, which was almost exactly the same as the magic array she drew. For a moment, her beautiful eyes widened and her mouth opened slightly.
She felt that perhaps, she should take back what she said before.
The goddess seemed to have really given Lord Ryan a wizard talent that was as outstanding as his knight talent!
After placing the Blood Feather Hippogryph chick on the cushion in the center of the witch formation, Ryan held the potion and began to chant the spell
. As the system prompt sounded, it also meant that the witchcraft was successfully cast.
[You cast the Enius Bird Transformation Technique, and the relevant comprehension was improved! ]
[Your skill Enius Bird Transformation Technique was improved, and the experience value was +142]
[You focused on Enius Bird Transformation Technique, and the wizard apprentice (superb) experience value was +278]
Ryan clearly felt that there was a strange connection between him and the Blood Feather Hippogryph chick.
This was not the effect of the bird transformation technique. It seemed that because he cast the bird transformation technique, the system recognized that he and the chick had reached a pet relationship.
Sure enough, the system prompt was as follows:
[Ding! The host has contracted a ferocious beast for the first time. The current number of contracted pets is (3/3)]
[Ding! It was detected that the host triggered the core event of the job transfer to the beast master (legend) - contracting a ferocious beast! 】
【The prerequisites for promotion to Master Tamer (Legend) are: 1. Tamer (Extraordinary) lv5 or above; 2. Mental strength 24 points or above; 3. Own any three or more ferocious beasts as pets; 4. Cultivate at least one ordinary animal into a ferocious beast. The current conditions are not met, and the promotion to Master Tamer (Legend) fails! 】
Huh?
Looking at the system prompt that suddenly popped up, Ryan read it carefully several times, and was quite happy!
Because when the prerequisites of a profession are listed, although sometimes the difficulty is higher, at least you know what is still lacking, and you also know where to start to meet the conditions one by one.
The blood-feathered horned eagle chick, which was transformed by witchcraft, was obviously a circle bigger. At this time, it ran over very intimately, rubbed against Ryan, and then opened its mouth wide and chirped a few times, as if shouting "I'm hungry!" Seeing this ,
Veronica said enviously, "Sir Ryan, can you lend me the Bloodfeather Hippogryph to feed for two days? Don't worry, I will take good care of it."
"Of course." Ryan nodded and said with a smile.
It just so happened that he still had to think about and sort out a few other things, and it would be bad to have the young bird disturb him.
After returning to his room, Ryan began to think about the advice given by Captain Baron.
To push the quasi-ultimate to the ultimate, for him, the key point is to improve the "Bear King Breathing Method".
It happened that he had a few skill points left, and after thinking about it, Ryan decided to try the effect first.
As Ryan added 1 skill point to the Bear King Breathing Method, the Bear King Breathing Method suddenly increased from lv9 to lv10.
In an instant, a torrent of practice memories about the Bear King Breathing Method poured into Ryan's mind.
These memory fragments of the breathing method practice flashed in Ryan's mind like a long movie, and then, like instinct, they merged into the memory of the body.
When Ryan opened his eyes again, it was as if he had experienced years of hard practice of the Bear King Breathing Method.
At this moment, he clearly felt that the blood circulation in his body was accelerated, and the whole body seemed to have a furnace, providing a lot of heat and some strange transformation to his body.
At the same time, Ryan could feel that the muscles and fascia in his body became stronger.
The Force, which was originally as thick as the little finger in the body, quickly became as thick as the index finger and circulated rapidly throughout the body.
Although it was constantly consumed during the circulation, it seemed that every time it passed through a part of the body, there would be hundreds of millions of cells providing this stream of Force with a tiny drop of Force water that was barely detectable.
Therefore, as the accumulation of small amounts made up a lot, the stream of Force could still remain as thick as the index finger and continue to grow.
At this moment, Ryan felt the increase of the Force and the powerful power hidden in his body. He could feel that he was only one step away from truly mastering the secret.
It was as if there was only a layer of window paper left in front of him, and he could achieve his goal with just a poke.
But unfortunately, the remaining skill points on his attribute panel were already 0.
However, Ryan looked at the professional level of the Weapon Master (Legend). Due to the previous combat experience reward, it had reached level 4 (649/1000), which was already halfway.
Even if he practiced step by step in the future, if nothing unexpected happened, he should be able to achieve this goal before going to Munster to participate in the "Sword Bearer" assessment.
Next is the battle review.
What Ryan felt most deeply this time was not the difficulty of the Alliance Trickster, nor the variability of the opponent's curse, but the touch and understanding of the team's battle.
Perhaps some defensive witchcraft did not touch him much, but others were different.
For example, the witchcraft "Walking on Water" cast by Veronica before the battle allowed him to fight on the water as if walking on flat ground, which was of extraordinary significance.
Secondly, the witchcraft "Swift Wind" cast by Nathaniel on him increased his speed by about 20% again. You must know that if his speed is increased by another 20%, the increase in combat power may be as high as 40%.
The above two witchcrafts with different effects, in Ryan's view, greatly improved his combat power.
It was precisely because of the support of other members of the Fish Dragon Team for Captain Baron's various witchcraft in the battle that Baron was able to hold on in the face of the Trickster who restrained him very much.
Another point is that Ryan had a hunch that since the special department of the Imperial Navy, the Tide Walkers, carried out missions in this team mode, the larger Imperial Sword Bearers organization should also have a similar structure.
However, this is a follow-up matter. For him, he still has to continue to improve his strength.
This time he happened to encounter a trickster who is good at cursing. If it were a wizard of other departments, he might not be able to deal with it so easily.
In addition, the stronger he is, the more confident he will be when facing the possible two-way choice of teammates in the future.
After thinking about it, Ryan walked behind the desk, opened the drawer, took out the parchment scroll of the Blood Rage Archery, and read it carefully.
He planned to improve his archery first, which would also give him an additional long-range attack ability.
After carefully reading the Blood Rage Archery several times, Ryan seemed to have realized something, left the room, and came to the training room of the Administrative Office of the Fishing Port Town.
"Baron!"
"Good day, Baron!" The guards, security guards, and night watchmen greeted Ryan when they saw him.
Ryan nodded and said, "You practice your own skills."
"Yes, Lord Baron."
Ryan came to the archery field nearby, picked up a strong bow with the highest poundage, and started practicing on his own.
With the foundation of basic archery, Ryan mastered the Blood Rage Archery very quickly. Not long after, the system prompt appeared:
[You practiced the Blood Rage Archery, and your understanding of it has improved! ]
[You have learned a new skill - Blood Rage Archery]
[Your skill Blood Rage Archery has been improved, and your experience value is +2]
[It is detected that the host has practiced the basic archery, which is also an archery skill. Do you want to merge it into the Blood Rage Archery? This fusion will consume 0 skill points. 】
(Note: After fusion, basic archery will not be displayed on the panel, but the host can still use related moves.)
(Note: After fusion, Blood Rage Archery will absorb the advantages of basic archery and improve it, and the host's experience value in basic archery will be converted into the experience value of improved Blood Rage Archery according to a certain ratio.)
Looking at the above system prompts, Ryan nodded slightly in his heart.
He had expected this, because the previous basic swordsmanship and the Dragon Empire military swordsmanship were both one-handed swordsmanship, so it was the same.
Without much hesitation, Ryan immediately chose "Yes".
Then, the basic archery lv3 on the weapon master (legend) panel suddenly disappeared, and the Blood Rage Archery lv1 (78/100) appeared instead.
More than half of the basic archery lv3 did not even reach Blood Rage Archery lv2 after the transformation, which surprised Ryan.
It seems that the level of this Blood Rage Archery should be far above the basic archery.
But soon, Ryan showed joy on his face, because for him, the stronger the extraordinary fighting skills, the better. As for the difficulty of practicing?
Haha, he has a cheat.
After a while of careful experience, Ryan found that the Blood Rage Bow Technique had basically not changed after being integrated with the Basic Bow Technique. This also proved from another perspective that the Blood Rage Bow Technique was much higher than the Basic Bow Technique in terms of level.
In other words, after this integration, the improvement and enhancement of the Blood Rage Bow Technique was very small.
Then, Ryan continued to practice the Blood Rage Bow Technique.
With the bonus of the experience value of the talent "Primary Extraordinary Comprehension", Ryan successfully upgraded the Blood Rage Bow Technique to level 2 after an hour.
Almost at the same time, some scattered memories of practicing the Blood Rage Bow Technique flooded into Ryan's mind and gradually merged into Ryan's muscle memory.
——Offshore
of Mayest County.
In the sea water more than ten meters deep.
If Ryan was at the scene, he would definitely be very surprised, because in front of him was a 20-30 meter long ellipsoidal metal object, similar to the Nautilus in the 19th century novel Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea.
Although the outer shells were all made of iron shells connected by rivets, and the technical level did not seem very advanced, it was an unimaginable advanced product in the Dragun Empire.
Inside the submersible.
The federal brigadier general was talking to the young man Jonistan.
"Jonistan, is there any definite news about Volod's map of the ruins of the ancient goblin empire? Have you contacted the Zalal rebels? Have you received any feedback?"
"Well, sir, I contacted the rebels half a day ago, but strangely, after so long, there is no news from them." Jonistan frowned and said.
"These rebels usually ask for help more frequently than anyone else, but now when we really need them, we can't contact them." The federal brigadier general said angrily.
"Mr. Nehru of the 'Leviathan Squad' asked us for information about the fishing port town. Now the strength of the Imperial Navy in the nearby waters has begun to increase, and we have little window of opportunity left."
"If there is no more news, send a message to Mr. Nehru and ask him to give up the plan to attack the fishing port town."
"However, he mentioned that the young knight of the Dragun Empire with the rare talent 'Iron Will', we still need to continue investigating."
"People with such special talents will pose a potential threat to our federation, so we must try to nip them in the bud as much as possible." The middle-aged man's face condensed, thought for a while, and said.
"As you say, Brigadier General." Jonistan bowed slightly and said.
At this time, an officer in a light blue uniform came to Jonistan, whispered a few words, and handed him something.
"Hey, Brigadier General, as soon as you mentioned the Zalal rebels, their news came." Jonistan took the information and said to the middle-aged man with a smile.
"What did they say?"
"Well, let me see." Jonistan quickly opened the information and read it at a glance. In less than a minute, he said in surprise:
"Commander-in-Chief, it turns out that the base of the Zalal rebels in Mayster County has been destroyed by the Dragun Empire. No wonder there has been no news for so long."
"Huh? So, the Zalal rebels can't be counted on?" The Brigadier General was obviously a little surprised. After all, the rebels were doing well in several other counties in the Dragun Empire's Munster Province, and there was no news of their bases being taken down.
Could it be that the defense of Mayster County was so strong?
"That's not the case, sir. The intelligence this time was relayed from a spy of the Zalal rebels in Meister County."
"The intelligence says that their head in Meister County was killed by a newly promoted baron of the Dragun Empire named Ryan. In addition, the most critical information in the intelligence about the coastal defense forces in Meister County that we want is also about this Ryan."
"Oh, what do you mean?" The brigadier general was obviously interested.
"The governor and sheriff of the fishing port town are both concurrently held by this imperial baron named Ryan."
"Well, in that case, the young man that Mr. Nehru is looking for is very likely to be this Ryan?"
"Brigadier General, if the information from the Zalal rebels is correct, I think it should be."
"The intelligence says that this Baron Ryan's nickname is 'Baron Hammer', which matches what Mr. Nehru described about his age and his weapon being a two-handed war hammer, etc." Jonistan thought for a while and nodded.
The brigadier general hesitated for a moment and said, "Then you should immediately pass this information to Mr. Nehru. At the same time, advise him to minimize the noise if he really wants to attack the fishing port town and kill Baron Ryan." "
Yes, brigadier general!" The young man Jonistan slowly stepped back and turned away.
"Now the activities of cults in various places have obviously intensified. Perhaps soon, we and the Dragun Empire will have a common enemy. At least, we can still cooperate with the empire in some aspects," the brigadier general murmured in a low voice.
