Chapter 246: Shocking Change (Two chapters in one)
If it weren't for the extremely subtle fluctuation in the other party's breath after the disappearance of the ancient troll's fangs, Ryan would not have been able to sense the other party.
Obviously, the other party is very good at hiding his whereabouts.
"What a keen perception, Lord Ryan, I'm really sorry to bother you."
"I am Hamis from the Axon Chamber of Commerce. I wonder if I can have the honor to meet Lord Ryan." A feminine male voice came from outside the door.
Ryan looked at the pair of fangs that had turned into powder and couldn't help but feel funny. He thought, what's the point of meeting? Now even if I want to give it to you, I can't give you the fangs.
However, it doesn't hurt to listen and see what the other party means.
"Come in!" Ryan said.
The door was gently opened, and a thin but very tough man in leather armor walked in. His eyes were narrow and long, giving people a feeling of staring like a venomous snake.
The guy named Hamis bowed slightly and said, "Sir Ryan, I would like to say hello to you on behalf of Viscount Fabien, the head of the Münster Axon Auction House."
"Sir Hamis, please explain your purpose." Ryan looked him up and down.
The dagger on his waist seemed to indicate that he was an assassin.
"Sir Ryan, it's like this. I came here this time in the hope that you can sell us the pair of fangs obtained from the natives. The auction house values this pair of fangs very much."
Ryan waved his hand and said, "Sir Hamis, I'm sorry, I don't have any fangs here."
He didn't lie.
Although there were some a few seconds ago, they have become slag now, so naturally there are no fangs.
Hamis stared at Ryan's eyes without any emotion, and couldn't help but be stunned!
Huh? Is the other party telling the truth?
But this is impossible!
As soon as I arrived nearby, I sensed the subtle fluctuation. I have been chasing the pair of fangs for so long, so I shouldn't be wrong.
After a brief thought, Hamis's face became serious and he said solemnly: "Sir Ryan, although you are a distinguished Imperial Sword Bearer, perhaps you don't know that the Axon Auction House is far more powerful than you expected."
"Viscount Fabien is actually just a representative who was pushed to the front. You will offend far more than just one viscount because of this matter. It is not wise to do so."
"Oh? Sir Hamis, are you threatening me?" Ryan smiled.
"Do you know that I hate being threatened the most? In addition, even if I have the fangs you mentioned, according to the Imperial spoils distribution regulations, it belongs to me, doesn't it?"
"Or does the Axon Auction House want to challenge the customary rules of the Empire? Perhaps, I should spread this matter in the Sword Bearer Branch."
"This." Hamis didn't know what to say for a while.
Damn!
If it weren't for the caravan leader Asani and his idiots who thought they had arrived in Munster and relaxed their guard, allowing the native to escape, there wouldn't be so much trouble!
Before coming, he had seen the injuries on the native's body and knew that the young Lord Ryan in front of him was not a simple person, and what was more troublesome was that the other party's identity was sensitive.
If it wasn't necessary, he didn't want to confront the other party.
"Lord Ryan, let me be direct. This pair of fangs is very important to the Axon Auction House. A marquis specifically asked for it. If you still want to insist on your own opinion, please don't regret it?"
"I really don't have fangs here. If you don't believe it, you can take a look." Ryan spread his hands and said.
Then, Ryan took the initiative to pour out everything in his waist bag.
"I can swear to the goddess on this!" Ryan said solemnly.
He had long known that the Axon Auction House was said to have a deep background, and it would be best if he could fool them.
In addition, he did tell the truth.
The fangs have turned into bone powder. If you want bone powder, we can still talk about it.
Want fangs? There's nothing I can do, Ryan thought.
Hamis looked at Ryan's clear and serious eyes, and the way he swore without hesitation, and he was confused for a moment.
Such clear eyes don't look like he's lying.
Hamis looked carefully at the fragments that Ryan poured out of his waist bag, and there was no fangs in it.
The fangs were very long and white, and easy to find.
He looked around Ryan's room again. The decoration inside was simple, and it seemed that there was no place to hide things.
There were some powdery things on the ground,
but this should be because the servants didn't clean it up.
"Okay. It seems that I may have made a mistake. I'm very sorry! Sir Ryan, I hope you don't mind my offense." Hamis bowed.
"Of course not." Ryan waved his hand and said.
Hamis bowed again and turned around and left quickly.
After watching Hamis leave, Ryan thought to himself.
It seems that this pair of ancient troll fangs should be very rare, otherwise, some people in the Axon Auction House would not be so persistent.
Perhaps, after returning to the Sword Bearer Division, I will have to look for relevant information.
After thinking about it, Ryan focused his attention on the job transfer information.
This time, the job transfer to the Legendary Class also improved all attributes, and the spirit was increased by 3 points in particular.
Ryan turned the system panel to the attribute page:
Name: Ryan Kalan
Occupation: Weapon Master (Legend) lv6 (1912/3000)/Beast Priest (Legend) lv1 (1/100)/Wizard Apprentice (Super) lv6 (792/3000)/Breaking Bad (Super) lv6 (69/3000)/Armor Forger lv6 (211/3000)
Physique: 32Strength
: 31Agility
:
32Spirit: 39Remaining
attribute points: 12Remaining
skill points:
0All attributes have exceeded the 30-point mark after this job transfer. However, what Ryan is more concerned about at this moment is the three core skills of the Beast Priest (Legend) that he has just obtained.
I don't know if the effect of the skills is what he thought before.
Ryan turned the page to the Beast Priest (Legend) page with great anticipation, only to see that the original Tamer (Super) panel had disappeared, and the Beast Priest (Legend) occupation panel appeared instead.
The entire panel was still flashing with the same special blue light as the Weapon Master (Legend).
This is obviously different from the green light of the previous Tamer (Extraordinary) occupation panel.
Ryan quickly found the new icon with three flashing borders at the top of the icon.
The pattern on the first icon turned out to be a miniature photo of his three pets, an eagle, a dog and a horse, and a line of small words on the lower right:
[Beast Sturdy lv1 (Passive): As a beast priest inherited from the ancient trolls, you naturally have the ability to absorb the vitality of the contracted pet, thereby improving your physical fitness and resistance. ]
(Note: lv1 level can only obtain one pet effect.)
(Note: This skill has a distance limit, and it is only effective when the pet is near you. The effective distance is proportional to the spiritual attribute.)
Huh?
After
a brief thought, Ryan's face showed joy!
When he focused his attention on this core skill "Beast Sturdy", the "headshots" of the three pets quickly emerged in his mind.
"Are you letting me choose?"
"Then. Choose the greyhound war dog "Cookie" first and implement the effect!"
With Ryan's confirmation.
Immediately, he felt that there was a mysterious invisible link between him and the greyhound Cookie, and then a strange energy was transmitted to him.
Ryan felt a little different.
A new prompt message came quietly:
The host obtains the buff effect [Dog's Swiftness], and the agility is increased by 3 points.
"Dog's Swiftness?"
"Agility increased by 3 points?"
Ryan's eyes lit up, and he immediately checked his own attribute column. Sure enough, his agility had become 32 (+3) points.
"Dog's Swiftness? It should be the buff effect from Cookie. An agility increase of nearly 10%, not bad!" Ryan raised his eyebrows and said happily.
I just don't know about the other ones
. So, Ryan tried the effect of choosing the black horse again.
Immediately, he felt that there was a mysterious link between him and the black horse, and then a completely different feeling from the greyhound was transmitted to him.
And the mysterious connection between him and the greyhound 'Cookie' was interrupted!
At the same time, two new prompt messages appeared:
The host obtains the buff effect [Horse's Endurance], and the physical fitness is increased by 1 point.
The effect of [Dog's Swiftness] disappears.
"It is as described in the skill. Is it true that the lv1 level can only maintain one buff effect?"
"It's a pity that there are no new skill points now. Otherwise, we can try to reach the effect of 'Beast Sturdiness' at lv2. Can it maintain two buff effects?"
"If it can, it will be amazing!"
"Huh?"
As if he saw something clearly, Ryan's eyes widened!
"Why only one point?"
"Just now, 'Dog's Swiftness' increased my agility by three points. Why did it only increase the physical fitness of the black horse?"
"Could it be that this buff effect is linked to the strength of the pet itself? Because the black horse has not entered the level of a ferocious beast, it can only provide a little physical effect?"
After thinking for a while, Ryan felt that his guess might be true.
After thinking about it, Ryan tried the effect of Blood Feather again.
A new system prompt appeared:
The host obtains the buff effect [Hippogriff's Strength], and the strength is increased by 2 points.
The effect of [Horse's Endurance] disappears.
"Heh!"
"Hippogryph gives strength?"
"Great!"
After comparing the three different emphasis of the buff effects, Ryan nodded secretly, this should be the case.
This power should be borrowed from the pets under his command.
Therefore, the strength of the pet is crucial. Although Blood Feather is only a young bird, it can provide a stronger buff effect than the larger black horse. This is the reason.
"It seems that the next time I contract a pet, I should try to find a ferocious beast with some special abilities."
"Maybe there will be unexpected buff effects,"
Ryan thought.
The second icon is a pattern of a human hand pressing on the head of a crawling beast, and a line of small words in the lower right corner is as follows:
[Beast Vitality lv1 (Active): As a beast priest inherited from the ancient trolls, you can quickly absorb the vitality and energy of beasts or contracted pets to heal your own injuries and restore your energy. ]
(Note: You can only use it on one beast or contracted pet at a time, and the maximum limit cannot exceed 30% of the opponent's upper limit of vitality.)
(Note: When absorbing a beast, you will be negatively affected by the beast's soul, but the contracted pet will not.)
"Is this the recovery ability that the native used?"
Ryan's eyes lit up.
But after he saw the description of 'negative effect of the beast's soul', he looked thoughtful.
It seems that the other party's eyes had red bloodshot at the time, and he was quite emotional.
Was it caused by this negative effect?
It seems that I have to find a beast to try it.
Then, Ryan moved his eyes to the last icon. This pattern is a picture of a beast galloping, magnificent!
[Control Beasts lv1 (Active): As a beast priest inherited from the ancient trolls, you can control all beasts within a diameter of 30 meters, making them bloodthirsty and frenzied, and launching attacks on the enemy. 】
(Note: The stronger the beast, the more resistant it is to your control. The effect of controlling the beast group is positively correlated with the spirit.)
Looking at these three core skills, Ryan couldn't help but smile!
In the evening.
Jenny arranged a sumptuous dinner.
"Jenny, maybe you and Agatha can consider buying a villa in the administrative district." Ryan said while cutting the hot cliff goat ribs with a silver knife and fork.
"Sir Ryan, if you want to buy a villa in the administrative district, it is not enough to have money alone, you also need to buy a quota." Jenny and Agatha looked at each other in surprise, but Jenny did not question it, but answered directly.
They didn't understand why Lord Ryan made such a suggestion.
Did he think that the house was too simple?
Probably not.
Because Lord Ryan was always devoted to cultivation and didn't pay much attention to some external conditions, they knew this.
"I will take care of this. Don't forget, I have joined the Sword Bearer now." Ryan smiled slightly.
Jenny was keenly aware of something wrong, frowned slightly, and asked.
"Lord Ryan, is it because of what happened during the day?"
"Well, it's not certain yet, just be prepared." Ryan nodded and did not deny it.
"Okay, Lord Ryan, then I will go to see the house with Agatha tomorrow." Jenny nodded without asking any more questions.
During the dessert.
"Lord Ryan, are you going back tonight?" Agatha looked at Ryan with her big watery eyes. After drinking some aged Bordeaux, her young face was as beautiful as a flower.
Although Agatha had some freckles on her nose, it did not affect the girl's liveliness and enthusiasm.
"Agatha, you've had too much to drink!" Jenny couldn't help but cover her forehead with her little hand again.
It's over, it's over.
Her best friend has been completely obsessed with the masculine charm of Lord Ryan.
"Yes, Miss Agatha, I have to go back to the Sword Bearer Branch tonight to check some information." Ryan said apologetically.
"This is really a pity. I wanted to ask Lord Ryan some questions tonight." Agatha said with a slightly red face.
Jenny has nothing to say to her best friend.
Are you asking questions?
You're delivering to your door!
At the same time.
In a study on the third floor of the Axon Auction House.
Hamis is sitting opposite Viscount Fabien.
"So, Hamis, even you can't be sure now whether the ancient troll fang is in the hands of this sword bearer?" Fabien said with dissatisfaction.
"Yes, Lord Fabien, I'm very sorry." Hamis nodded and said.
"It seems that I have to trouble Lord Horton to perform prophecy again. I have to find time to visit him in the next few days." Fabien frowned and murmured.
Evening.
Sword Bearer Branch, Library.
"Hello, sir, how can I help you?" A beautiful young employee saw Ryan coming forward, stood up and bowed.
"Help me look up information about trolls, um, or ancient trolls." Ryan said, and took the bronze badge to the other party.
"Okay, sir! Please wait a moment." The girl took it respectfully with both hands and began to search quickly.
"Is it a book about trolls or ancient trolls?"
"Yes!"
"I found it, sir. There are two ancient books related to trolls, namely "The Evolution of Trolls" and "The Trolls of Ancient Races."
"Both books are borrowed."
"Okay, sir, the total borrowing price is 20 merit points."
"Since these two books are copied from ancient materials in the Imperial Library, according to regulations, you can only read them in the Sword Bearer Branch and need to return them within one month." The girl said apologetically. "
Okay, thank you!" Ryan nodded.
After returning to the room, Ryan carefully flipped through the books.
"In some remote areas of the empire, even outside the territory, there are still some forest troll clans left
." "But it is not clear whether there are other types of trolls."
Ryan first flipped through "The Evolution of Trolls", which contained some general descriptions, but he was actually most concerned about the fangs.
So, he temporarily put "The Evolution of Trolls" aside and quickly flipped through "The Trolls of Ancient Races."
".The average height of the ancient trolls is over two and a half meters, far exceeding the two and a half meters height of the remaining forest trolls. The height of females is slightly shorter, about two meters."
"In addition, even in the same clan, there are scattered trolls, and the size of the trolls is far greater than that of ordinary clan members."
Ryan looked at the illustration and found that the fangs of male trolls were protruding like wild boars. The taller they were, the longer their fangs were. In addition, they had a long nose similar to Pinocchio, and their appearance was completely beyond the aesthetic of humans.
But female trolls are different.
The fangs on their lower jaws are like slightly longer small fangs of humans, slightly revealing their lips, similar to the small canine teeth we usually call, and they look a bit playful. Their facial features are also similar to those of human women, and the overall feeling is quite in line with the aesthetic of human men.
".Troll tusks are said to have special powers. The more powerful the troll warrior, the more obvious the power of the tusks."
"During the reign of the ancient troll empire, many tribes of primitive humans worshiped and sacrificed the tusks of powerful dead troll warriors, and borrowed the magical power contained in them."
Ryan read with great interest.
Although the ancient books are still vague, they roughly outline some vague internal logic, that is, why the ancient troll tusks led to his job change to beast sacrifice (legend).
"Just as I guessed, at least there is no influence of evil gods."
"This should be some strange ability from the ancient race."
For several days in a row.
Ryan spent his time in general courses and the rapids room step by step, almost living a life of two points and one line.
Unfortunately, the other two core skills of the beast sacrifice (legend) were not used.
But this morning, the evaluation of Ryan's handling of this emergency came out.
Three bronze medals, plus 800 merit points for the disposal evaluation.
Barnes's prediction was accurate!
However, this can only be finally received when the temporary assignment is settled.
The experience of three bronze medals is enough to allow Ryan's badge level to be promoted from bronze to silver.
This also means that Ryan will be able to accept silver-level tasks soon.
It is not far from obtaining the gold medal.
Late at night.
Meister County, Shining Gold Town Church.
A black-robed man with several burning black flames on his collar and cuffs walked into the church. At this moment, there were already seven or eight black flame monks dressed in the same way waiting in the church.
"Sir, the bone staff has been placed."
"Very good, let's start with this town!"
"Humph! The Dragun Empire thought that we were intimidated by destroying one of our branches. How foolish!"
"Starting today, let this dying empire be completely shaken!"
"Sir, if we do this, will it cause the wrath of the Dragun Empire and lead to a comprehensive suppression? I'm not afraid, but I'm worried about delaying the revival of God." A Black Flame monk seemed to be hesitant and said. The
middle-aged man called the envoy showed a strange smile: "Of course, but..."
"The Dragun Empire won't have the energy to do this"
"Because, this time it's not just us!"
A few minutes later.
A group of Black Flame monks gathered in a circle, and the chanting in the church sounded!
"Great God of Hunting, please witness the insignificant sacrifice that your humble servant is about to offer to welcome your return!"
Administrative Hall of Shining Gold Town.
Hamilton in the lounge woke up suddenly. He suddenly felt a palpitation just now!
After he stood up, he vaguely heard the chanting from the church!
"It's so late, how could there still be people praying?" Hamilton frowned and looked thoughtful. The next second, his face changed drastically.
"Not good!"
Hamilton immediately understood something, picked up the sword and shield beside him, and rushed out of the room.
But when he rushed out of the administrative hall with a team of elite night watchmen, he saw that the sky above the entire Shining Gold Town was strangely lingering with a faint blood-colored mist.
Before they rushed to the church, the night watchmen next to Hamilton screamed!
"I have a nosebleed!"
"Look, the blood is floating up."
The night watchmen watched in horror as their own blood came out of their nostrils and eyes.
They couldn't cover it up no matter how they covered it!
The blood was like a stream flowing into the sea, converging from mid-air to the church.
Hamilton's pupils shrank!
He planned to retreat immediately, but he suddenly turned around and found a black-robed man in front and behind him
. "Hey, I didn't expect there was still a fish that slipped through the net."
"And he is a senior knight. Judging from his attire, he should be the sheriff of this town. It's just right. With you, the whole town is almost complete."
A few minutes later, with a familiar roar!
The whole town of Shining Gold returned to peace.
Deathly silence!
And under the same moonlight.
Meister County, fishing port town.
"Splash!"
On the coast, the waves beat the reefs rhythmically.
Suddenly, several tall humanoid creatures with strange looks emerged from the sea and slid ashore quickly from the water.
They looked like miniature dragons with heads, not only with circular and striped fins, but also with many thick whiskers similar to catfish on their chins. The lower body was like a big snake, and the upper body was like a human, covered with scales.
These monsters were at least more than two meters and five meters tall, holding tridents, and had a strong breath.
It is certain that these are definitely not fishmen!
Although they moved in a zigzag shape, their speed was extremely fast.
When they rushed into the fishing port town, soon, screams resounded through the night sky!
The next morning.
When Ryan walked out of the room and planned to go to the lobby of the new building of the Sword Bearer Branch to attend general education courses, many griffins on the training ground, one after another, quickly took off and flew towards the southeast with a cry!
"Huh? What's going on? All the griffins are dispatched at once." Ryan looked puzzled.
Before he could figure it out, suddenly another team of griffins quickly cut through the sky.
"Is this the Munster Griffin Squadron?"
Ryan could vaguely see that on the back of the leading griffin was Viscount Felke, who was wearing light gold knight armor.
At this time, the red-haired beauty Evelyn came anxiously from one end of the corridor and said to Ryan anxiously: "Sir Ryan, something big has happened in Mayster County!"
