Chapter 233 Five Levels Up (Two Chapters in One)
Ryan took one look and chose yes without hesitation!
[Ding! Job transfer successful! ]
[Job transfer to Breaking Bad (Super) successful! Constitution -2, Agility +1, Spirit +2! Gain Breaking Bad (Super) core skills: Deadly Poison lv1 (Passive), Anti-Toxin Constitution lv1 (Passive). ]
[Deadly Poison lv1 (Passive): Due to your long-term research on poison making, your poison is extremely powerful, and the damage caused is increased by an additional 30%. At the same time, the difficulty of your poison being removed by antidotes or witchcraft such as "Drug Removal" is slightly increased. ]
[Anti-Toxin Constitution lv1 (Passive): Due to your long-term contact with poisons, you have a strong resistance to ordinary poisons, and your resistance to strong and above poisons is slightly increased. ]
Fuck!
Constitution -2?
Ryan stared at the prompt information of this job transfer in a daze!
He couldn't help rubbing his eyes and looked at it again.
Well, he was sure he was not mistaken.
Job transfer also weakens the physical fitness?
No wonder it's called Breaking Bad, this is really bad!
Although 2 points of spirit and 1 point of agility are added, the physical fitness is reduced by 2. In general, it is only increased by 1 point.
It is no different from the previous pharmacist job transfer.
Ryan, who felt a little speechless, shook his head and continued to read.
There are two core skills, which are not bad.
"The power of poison is increased by 30%, okay! Does the system want to push me towards the direction of 'Lime Martial Saint' or 'Poison Sword Saint'?"
"But... This anti-poison physique is quite useful"
"Knock knock knock!"
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in!"
I heard the beautiful woman Jennifer walk in and say, "Dear, it's almost time, we should set off to attend the award ceremony of the Goddess Church."
"Huh? Yes! I almost forgot about this." Ryan suddenly realized!
Soon, Ryan wore the dress carefully prepared by the beautiful woman Jennifer, and the two attended the award ceremony held for him by the Goddess Church together.
This award ceremony is much more grand than the last one. Many nobles and high-ranking church officials in the county city will attend.
Soon, Ryan arrived at the prayer hall of the temple. At this time, the magnificent vaulted hall was already full of nobles from Mayest County and high-ranking officials above the Templar Knights of the Goddess Church.
There were colorful flowers arranged on both sides of the middle aisle and around the hall. Although it was only the month of vitality, under the magic of the Goddess Church, the flowers bloomed brilliantly.
An old man wearing a water blue robe with thick gold edges and holding a scepter was smiling at Ryan and Jennifer who walked into the hall under the relief of the goddess at the front of the hall.
"In many battles with the Black Flame Cult, Baron Ryan has made outstanding contributions, especially this time, he directly destroyed the Black Flame Cult's lair in Meister County and killed the cult's chief priest!"
"In recognition of Baron Ryan's outstanding contribution to exorcising evil, I would like to present Baron Ryan with the Gold Conch Medal on behalf of the Goddess Church!"
Bishop Sheen generously stated, while holding up a female fist-sized, golden medal from the tray held by the attendant beside him.
Before coming, Ryan also learned about the medals of the Monsoon and Ocean Goddess Church from Bishop Rudolph, from the Iron Shell Medal, the Bronze Shell Medal, the Silver Conch Medal to this Gold Conch Medal.
And learned that this Gold Conch Medal is already the highest level medal that can be awarded by the Goddess Church in the County City.
As for higher ones, they are not something that Bishop Sheen can award.
This time, the gold conch medal is slightly larger than the silver medal last time, and it also has a clear large conch pattern on it, which is lifelike!
"Child, may the goddess bless you."
"Thank the goddess, thank Bishop Xien!" Ryan took it respectfully with both hands, and with the help of Jennifer, he wore it directly on his chest.
"Baron Ryan, please keep this medal properly. You can seek and get help anywhere in the empire as long as there is a temple of the Monsoon and Ocean Goddess Church."
"In addition, in addition to solidifying the divine spell "Detect Evil", this medal also solidifies a divine spell "Exorcism". Of course, it can only be used once. After using it, it needs to be recharged before it can be used." Rudolf explained on the side.
"Sir Ryan, I heard that you are about to go to Munster to participate in the assessment of the Imperial Sword Bearer. Here is a blessing from the goddess." Bishop Xien looked at Ryan and said with a smile.
The blessing of the goddess?
It won't be the same as last time, right?
"Then I'll trouble you, Bishop!"
Ryan's face lit up, and he bowed slightly to Bishop Xien and expressed his gratitude again.
As Bishop Xien started to chant, this time, many monks in light blue robes also chanted loudly. Suddenly, the whole prayer hall was filled with the pious prayers of everyone!
The scale and solemnity of this event were obviously greater than the last time.
Perhaps, the Goddess Church wanted to show a signal to other nobles in Meister County that if they helped the Goddess Church fight heresy and evil, they would receive gifts from the Goddess.
The bishop looked at Ryan and raised the scepter in his hand that was emitting a rich aqua blue light. The next second, this dazzling aqua blue light shot out and enveloped Ryan's whole body!
For a moment, Ryan was covered by this dazzling blue light, and a cool and comfortable strange energy continued to penetrate into Ryan's body.
The system prompt sounded immediately:
[Ding! The detection found that a large amount of unknown absorbable energy was lingering around the host. Yes/No? (Note: After absorption, it can be converted into experience points for the specified profession.)]
Ryan was immediately delighted!
As expected, just like last time, it can be converted into experience points.
So, Ryan immediately said "yes" in his heart!
Immediately, this rich blue energy was completely absorbed by Ryan.
[Ding! A total of 3957 extraordinary experience points were converted. Please choose Wizard Apprentice (Extraordinary)/Beast Tamer (Extraordinary)/Breaking Bad (Extraordinary) to upgrade. ]
Since the Weapon Master is a legendary level, and the Armorer is a normal level, neither of them is included.
Ryan did not have a choice difficulty this time, because he could get a reward of only one level up in both Wizard Apprentice (Extraordinary) and Beast Tamer (Extraordinary).
And if he added it to Breaking Bad (Extraordinary), he could be promoted at least four levels in a row.
When Ryan selected Breaking Bad (Extraordinary), five consecutive system prompts appeared in an instant:
[Congratulations, your Breaking Bad (Extraordinary) career level has been upgraded! ]
[Congratulations, your Breaking Bad (Extraordinary) career level has been upgraded! 】
Seeing the Breaking Bad (Extraordinary) occupation level on the panel from lv1 (12/100) → lv6 (69/3000), Ryan couldn't help but show a bright smile on his face.
Tsk tsk! Five levels in a row!
This made Ryan feel like hugging the goddess' thighs!
If you can get the goddess' blessing every now and then, why is it necessary to join the Sword Bearer?
Otherwise, just stay in the Goddess Church!
Unfortunately, if you really join the Goddess Church, Ryan also knows that such a good thing may not come once in a few years!
This time he was because he eradicated the Black Flame Cult's nest, and the Goddess Church just happened to intend to set him as a benchmark and use it to further expand its influence.
Ryan looked at the bottom of the panel, which showed the remaining attribute points: 13, the remaining skill points: 6, and the gold skill points: 2.
Among them, the remaining attributes reached an astonishing 13 points, a double-digit number!
However, how to reasonably allocate and use these points still needs to be thought about after returning.
After the award ceremony, there was a dinner. After a polite exchange with a group of nobles, Ryan met with Bishop Theon and Archbishop Rudolf in a small group.
The main reason was that Ryan was still a little worried about leaving the county town this time.
Although he uprooted the Black Flame Cult this time, he also offended many nobles in the process, and it was hard to guarantee that there would be no fish that slipped through the net.
In fact, the reason for this problem was essentially because he was just a baron, and his family background was insufficient, so he had no official knights available.
Even the Crowley family now only had one official knight who was not very useful.
If we hire foreign knights, the reliability will be questionable, and it will be difficult to train and reuse them in the future.
In contrast, one of the advantages of aristocratic families with a long history is that they can often have enough knight-level combat power through training and accumulation from generation to generation.
Therefore, in the meeting just now, Ryan made a request.
Since Ryan won the Golden Conch Medal this time, according to the rule that the medal winner can ask the local Goddess Church for help, Bishop Xien agreed to Ryan's request and will send two Templar Knights to temporarily garrison for a period of time. The
time is two months.
After all, according to the regulations of the Goddess Church, even the winner of the Golden Conch Medal is not allowed to do this.
In addition, he wrote a letter the day before yesterday to Has Cline of Larchmond Fishing Port in Rosby County, hoping that if the other party is free, he can come to Meister for a while.
Calculating the time, Has should be here in the next few days.
In this case, with three knight-level combat forces, it should be enough to deal with some sneak attacks hiding in the dark.
On the way back in the luxurious carriage.
The beautiful woman Jennifer said to Ryan: "Dear, there were many nobles and wealthy businessmen who contacted me at the banquet just now, hoping to invest in the Crowley Chamber of Commerce."
"Oh?" Lei raised his eyebrows, thought about it for a while, and immediately understood what was going on?
Obviously, the fact that the beautiful woman accompanied him to attend the ceremony of the Monsoon and Ocean Goddess Church basically confirmed the close relationship between the Crowley family and him.
He has been improving his strength in the mansion, staying at home and rarely attending noble banquets and social events. He basically rejected all the invitations or asked the beautiful woman Jennifer to attend on his behalf.
So, they set their sights on Jennifer, hoping to strengthen their connection with themselves through Jennifer.
"Jennifer, what do you think?" Ryan thought for a while and asked back.
"I think so. I want to change the name of this chamber of commerce to the Hammer and Rose Chamber of Commerce. Then, take out 40% of the shares for sale, and for the franchisee, like the Wiggins Chamber of Commerce."
Listening to the beautiful woman's expression, Ryan nodded continuously.
Jennifer is experienced in business matters, and he doesn't need to worry about or interfere.
Of course, it's mainly because Ryan thinks this is actually a good thing.
After all, he couldn't always escort the Crowley family in Mayster County. So, as long as he didn't have any problems, there would be no big problems for the beautiful woman and the Crowley family.
And with the addition of these nobles or wealthy businessmen, the new chamber of commerce controlled by Jennifer will be greatly strengthened, and many businesses and transportation routes that were not originally allowed to be done can be slowly considered.
When the benefits are large enough, as a combination of interests, they will advance and retreat together on many things.
This is just like the Black Flame Cult and those noble families that are closely related to it.
In this way, in this small piece of land in Mayster County, Ryan basically doesn't have to worry about the safety of the Crowley family.
Of course, the matter of cultivating direct descendants still needs to be carried out, but this will not be effective in one or two days.
"As for my dear, you can just put your name on it, you take 50% of the profit, and I will share the rest with them." The beautiful woman talked about business with bright eyes.
Hearing this, Ryan was startled, smiled, and said, "No, Jennifer, I can split it with you, and I'll leave my share with you."
"Don't refuse. You've already invested a lot in the acquisition of rare minerals before." Ryan waved his hand, stopping the beautiful woman from saying what she wanted to say.
"In addition, um... I want Jenny to accompany you to Munster. Because if these nobles and wealthy businessmen join, we will have enough strength to transport the goods to Munster for sale."
"I think these goods from the other side of the sea will have a good market in Munster."
Ryan nodded. This is a good idea.
After he goes to Munster this time, he may not return to the county city in the short term.
Then if Jennifer can expand the business to Munster, he can let the new chamber of commerce take care of some miscellaneous matters.
For example, when he goes to Munster this time, he also plans to take the greyhound war dog, the blood-feathered horned beast and the black horse with him. And during the days of participating in the assessment, he needs someone trustworthy to take care of him.
He originally planned to bring the short Matteo with him, but now that Jennifer's new chamber of commerce is a channel, that is obviously a better choice.
"By the way, dear, there is one more thing."
"It is about the information you asked me to collect about the assessment of the Imperial Sword Bearers. It is almost complete. Most of them are from the Axon Auction House, and some are from other nobles in Meister."
"Oh? Let me see." Ryan raised his eyebrows. Obviously, compared with business, he is more interested in this content.
Since the people he knows now, including Hamilton, have never participated in the assessment of the Imperial Sword Bearers Organization, naturally they don't know what form this assessment will take.
As early as after the Black Flame Cult incident was over, Ryan commissioned the beautiful woman Jennifer to purchase some intelligence from the Axon Auction House.
As a result, Ryan looked at the stack of papers handed over by the beautiful woman with a little excitement.
Although many things are not written in detail due to the Imperial confidentiality regulations, the outline of the entire Sword Bearer Organization can still be roughly understood from the side.
First of all, the Imperial Sword Bearer Organization has a long history. It was established not long after the founding of the Dragun Empire, and has a history of more than 1,800 years.
During this period, the name was changed several times. At first, it seemed to be called the Guardian and belonged to the Imperial Royal Family. Now it has been changed to the Sword Bearer. It is nominally affiliated with the Imperial Military, but it is also written in the information that it is actually still led by the Imperial Royal Family.
In contrast, the Imperial Navy's Tide Walker Organization was established much earlier, and it is said that it has only been more than 600 years.
Seeing this, Ryan's eyes flickered and he couldn't help thinking.
In this way, the Imperial Sword Bearer Organization has a long history. No wonder the members of the Fish Dragon Team said that the Navy's "Tide Walker", a special department, was established in accordance with the "Sword Bearer".
As for the function of the Sword Bearer Organization, if it is described in one sentence, it is to protect the Dragun Empire.
But the information shows that the Sword Bearer is currently mainly dealing with some difficult or unsolvable problems of the Imperial functional departments, such as some cults and special events.
As for the outside world, it is more about collecting, competing or confronting with the Eagle Federation for some special resources, or fighting with foreign races outside the empire.
"I see." Ryan nodded, he understood a little.
If the Navy Tide Walkers are limited to the imperial waters, then the Sword Bearers are the entire territory, even outside the empire.
In addition, Ryan also found a special point that is different from the previous noble enthronement assessment.
That is, those who are admitted to the Sword Bearers will have a period of promotion training lasting several months, half a year or even longer.
It seems that in the specific assessment process, the relevant personnel of the Sword Bearers organization will give targeted training suggestions and arrange corresponding special training according to the characteristics of the people who pass the assessment.
"Targeted training." Ryan couldn't help but murmured.
When the beautiful woman heard this, she seemed to have thought of something and said, "My dear, there were people in Mayster County who joined the Imperial
Sword Bearers, but later, the other family moved to the provincial capital of Munster." "But according to the people from several noble families they are friends with, one of them went to the Imperial Royal Academy for further studies for a period of time shortly after joining the Imperial Sword Bearers."
"Royal Academy?" Ryan couldn't help but be a little surprised and confirmed.
"Yes."
Ryan nodded.
Isn't that where Claire went?
"By the way, Jennifer, didn't you say there were two?"
"Well, the other one is said to have gone to a certain wizard school for further studies for a year. But which school it was, none of these nobles can tell clearly. I think it is probably because of confidentiality."
After collecting this information, the beautiful woman Jennifer also spent a long time and energy to distinguish the authenticity. Although it is not 100% credible, the general direction is still correct, otherwise she would not come to talk to Ryan about this matter.
"School?" Ryan looked thoughtful.
In fact, when he saw this, he had some guesses about the training strategy of the Empire Sword Bearer Organization.
If so, then he...
As Ryan continued to flip through the information, he found that there was very little information about the Sword Bearer re-examination in the information.
However, Ryan combined the previous content with what Trevor had told him before, and he was basically sure that the authenticity of the content was generally fine, but some places were vague.
According to Ryan's current strength, it is not a big problem to be admitted to the Sword Bearer Organization.
Now he wants to strive for passing the re-examination, but for the re-examination, even if the beautiful woman Jennifer specially collected the information, there is not much information on it.
However, there are two points that can be made clear.
The first point is that if you pass the re-examination, the resources you get are completely different from those of the recruits who passed the initial examination. In other words, those who pass the re-examination will get better resources and more targeted training.
The second point is that only those who pass the re-examination will have the power to form their own team in the later stage.
For Ryan, since there is a better treatment, it is naturally what he wants to pursue.
In addition, Ryan judged from Earl Habsburg's attitude towards the two sword bearers that day that he might have underestimated the status of the sword bearers in the Dragun Empire.
The incident involving the dozen dead nobles in the underground hall of Baron Elliot's mansion did not cause any waves in the end because of the intervention of the two sword bearers.
The so-called convening of the noble council ended up in vain.
Because the families of the dead nobles also knew that it would be meaningless to convene a noble council without Earl Habsburg's nod and Bishop Sheen's opposition.
This also made Ryan look forward to the upcoming sword bearer assessment even more. After all, no one would think that their status has become higher.
The next morning, the dawn was slightly exposed.
Ryan got up early and began to think about the strategy of adding points.
In fact, he had been thinking about this problem a few days ago, but today, he thought more thoroughly.
First of all, his strongest combat power is still the Tokkar Hammer Technique that can perform the ultimate meaning-vibration wave. If he wants to further improve his combat power and upgrade the ultimate meaning shock wave to the next stage, it is the best choice.
To upgrade Shockwave to the intermediate secret, you need to spend 2 skill points on Tokkar Hammer to upgrade it to level 14, and then spend 2 skill points on Bear King Breathing to upgrade it to level 14 or above.
Finally, you need to spend 1 gold skill point.
As the remaining skill points dropped from 6 to 2, the gold skill points changed from 2 to 1.
Instantly, a magnificent memory of hammer training and the vast memory of Bear King Breathing training poured into Ryan's mind.
After Ryan came to his senses, he found a key system prompt that came quietly:
[Congratulations, you have comprehended the intermediate secret of Tokkar Hammer: Shockwave! ]
Intermediate secret!
Ryan couldn't help but smile!
Soon, Ryan found that the icon of Tokkar Hammer Secret 'Shockwave' on the Weapon Master (Legend) panel also changed slightly.
The arc lines in the icon in front of the hammer hitting the ground became denser and thicker, which seemed to represent that the shock force had become stronger!
The small words at the bottom right of the icon also changed:
Shockwave (Intermediate Secret) Effect: Use a special force-generating technique that combines the Force with multiple shocks, swing the heavy hammer, and deliver a blow with ultra-high frequency shocks.
(Note: Shockwave is a secret technique and cannot be upgraded through skill points.)
(To upgrade Shockwave to a high-level secret technique, the following conditions must be met: 1. Tokkar Hammer Technique lv16 or above (Hammer Specialization can offset some level requirements); 2. Bear King Breathing Technique lv16 or above. 3. Consume 2 gold skill points.)
It's just one more word - 'super', but it represents a qualitative improvement!
"Does it take 2 gold skill points to upgrade to a high-level secret technique?"
"It seems that the hammer secret technique 'Shockwave' cannot be upgraded in the short term."
"Then, the next step is to upgrade."
"Flutter~"
Just as Ryan was thinking, a sound of birds flapping their wings sounded outside the window!
Hmm? It didn't sound like the sound of Blood Feather flapping its wings. This was
Ryan turning his head and looking out the window.
