Chapter 248 Stone Stairs on the Island (Two chapters in one)
Jenny and Agatha were very surprised at first when they saw Ryan's sudden arrival, but soon they realized what was going on.
Because this morning, they heard the orderly march of the army, which seemed to be heading out of the city.
"Sir Ryan, are you going on a mission?" Jenny asked directly.
"Yes, I have to go on a mission." Ryan nodded, and after thinking about it, he felt that it would be better to let the two women know the situation.
After all, no matter how tightly the news was blocked, it would inevitably spread everywhere soon.
By then, I would not be in Munster, and the two women would know that it would be bad to panic.
"Mayster was attacked last night, but the county town was still stable." Ryan said in a deep voice.
The two girls' faces changed immediately after hearing the news, and they exclaimed, "Ah? Is the situation serious?"
"Will there be any follow-up?"
Ryan shook his head and said, "It's hard to say now."
"However, in the next two days, Jenny, including your mother, Baroness Crawley, will be picked up by someone to Munster. You can arrange a room in advance."
Hearing that Ryan had already made arrangements, Jenny's worry disappeared and her face was happy.
However, Ryan's face froze, and he turned to Agatha and said,
"Agatha, according to the imperial law, although your father, as a noble, cannot leave the fiefdom without permission, you can write a letter to your father and ask him to arrange for some people to evacuate first for the other members of the Wiggins family." "
Maybe the county city may not be safe either."
"Ah? It's fine, Lord Ryan." The charming feeling in Agatha's heart when she saw Ryan had long disappeared after hearing that Mayster was attacked.
"You two stay in Munster and try to reduce going out." Ryan reminded her again before leaving.
"Okay, Mr. Ryan."
After leaving the villa, Ryan rode a black horse and rode out of the city with "Cookie".
Just as he was about to leave the city gate, Ryan looked up at the sky and saw a white seagull flapping its wings and landing on his shoulder.
After a brief glance, Ryan had a mental transmission picture from the white seagull in his mind.
A white little hand used a feather pen to write a line of words on the white paper: "Ryan, be sure to pay attention to safety."
This was the concern from the girl with twin ponytails.
When Ryan came to the city gate, he saw teams of fully armed imperial troops, setting out from the city and marching towards the two counties of Meister and Rossby.
Standing on a high place and looking down, you can see two long snakes marching in different directions on the vast plain.
As Ryan rode his horse and surpassed the imperial army again and again, he found that the composition of the army was also changing, from the giant shield crossbowmen and heavy cavalry he encountered at the beginning to the fastest light cavalry now.
He kept on overtaking, and the soldiers were quite curious, frequently looking at this young man who was obviously a noble, galloping along, followed by a mighty dog the size of a pony.
It took Ryan a whole week to get from Meister to Munster, but that was because he was traveling with the caravan.
Now, he put his weapons such as the glimmering greatsword and the war bow on the greyhound war dog, which had already turned into a ferocious beast.
He was lightly equipped, and with the strong endurance of the black horse that was close to that of a ferocious beast, he galloped along at lightning speed, and his speed naturally increased several times!
"Fuck! How can this guy's horse be so fast!"
Hamis cursed.
Just now, near the city gate, he watched Ryan, who was wearing light silver knight plate armor, riding a strong black horse and leading a dog, quickly disappear not far in front of him.
He turned to a bearded man behind him and said, "Track him, Mad, he's running too fast!"
"No problem!" The bearded man answered, and picked up a small bird cage from the side of the horse's belly.
The bearded man quickly released the gray bird in the cage and pointed in the direction of Ryan. Immediately, the gray bird flew into the sky!
This gray bird, also called a tracking bird, is scientifically known as a brown-backed sparrow. It looks like a sparrow, is small in size, and has gray feathers all over its body. It can be said that it is inconspicuous, but it has a flying speed similar to that of a swift.
However, what Hamis and his party did not notice was that above the clouds, a swan-sized bird of prey with blue and purple feathers was circling above Ryan.
When Ryan passed through Wales County and entered the territory of Mayest, the strictness of the checkpoints on the road suddenly increased.
Even he was stopped by the soldiers guarding the checkpoint and questioned in detail.
"Sir, Meister County has been under full martial law. According to the order of the superiors, no one is advised to go there on their own."
Ryan's face was solemn, he nodded, and said, "I will carry out the mission." Then
he showed his documents to the other party.
The captain of the soldiers looked at Ryan and was in awe of him! He
was so young and was carrying out a special mission.
"Sir Ryan, salute you!" The team of soldiers guarding the checkpoint immediately saluted.
"Good luck to you too." Ryan smiled.
After moving forward for a while, it was almost evening.
At this time, the blood feather in the sky chirped, swooped down and caught a bird, and then circled down and landed on Ryan's forearm.
Ryan looked at the blood feather and frowned slightly.
"Blood feather, are you saying that this bird has followed me back and forth all the way?"
"Chi~" The blood feather looked at Ryan with a lively look, raised his head, chirped, and confirmed Ryan's words.
Ryan took a closer look at the half-dead bird under the blood feather's claws.
“It looks like a sparrow.”
"Hey, could it be a brown-backed sparrow?" A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed through Ryan's mind.
Because of Veronica, Ryan is now considered a half-bird expert.
Recently, Ryan has learned from Veronica about many common birds that have been domesticated by humans.
If it is a brown-backed sparrow, then Ryan is basically certain that someone is tracking him.
"Who could it be?"
"Special Envoy Javier?"
"It doesn't seem likely."
"We are about to enter the area controlled by the fishmen and the blood-cursed nagas. Is it possible to let the tail behind us and the blood-cursed nagas confront each other?"
After thinking for a while, Ryan shook his head.
"If the other party attracts the attention of a large number of fishmen and blood-cursed nagas, it will put me at risk of being exposed later."
"In addition, it is obviously not a good idea to be attacked from both sides."
"In that case, do it yourself and deal with the little tail."
This area is full of forests and hills. Ryan plans to see who is behind him?
Although the Beast Tamer (Super) occupation panel was covered, the core skill 'Eye of the Beast' was inherited from the Beast Priest (Legendary) occupation panel.
However, another core skill of the Beast Tamer, 'Beast Affinity', disappeared.
Although it was a pity, it might be because it conflicted with the legendary profession of the Beast Priest. Beasts that
have absorbed the vitality of their opponents
can never be friendly with you, right!
With the help of Blood Feather's vision that was five times that of humans, Ryan soon saw that on the winding road behind him, a team of four people was hanging behind him a few kilometers away.
"No, there's another dog."
There was only one team within five kilometers of him. Obviously, it should be the Brown-backed Sparrow sent by this team that was following him.
After slightly adjusting the angle of his gaze, Ryan saw a familiar figure in the team, wearing leather armor and a dagger.
"Huh?"
"Is it him?"
"Hamis from the Axon Auction House?"
"It's very likely that the other party must have used some mysterious means to determine that the ancient troll fang is on him."
Ryan's mind turned, and he immediately linked the cause and effect, and his face was stern.
"Stalking like this, the other party obviously has no good intentions. Is he planning to do something to me?"
Looking at the forest on the side, Ryan let the black horse continue to move forward for a distance, but he turned and hid in the forest on the side.
At the same time, he began to take out the poison bottle in his waist bag
. Not far away.
A group of four people continued to move towards Ryan's position, and the leader was Hamis.
In Munster, Hamis was afraid of Ryan, mainly because of Ryan's identity as an imperial sword bearer, not Ryan's personal strength.
In his mind, a new sword bearer who can have the strength of a great knight at such a young age is indeed very good.
But it was just very good, he really didn't take it to heart.
As for Ryan killing the native in the trade zone, of course he knew, so, does it prove that Ryan is very strong?
Don't be funny!
Don't forget, who wiped out the tribe of these natives?
Who escorted these dozens of remaining natives to Munster?
It was our own people, okay!
Now Ryan has left Munster, and has come to Meister where the war suddenly broke out.
This is great.
Hamis had already thought about it. He would capture Ryan alive and torture him. When he had enough fun, he would trick him into telling the whereabouts of the ancient troll fangs, and then kill him directly.
There is a forest nearby, and the corpses are thrown into the wilderness without having to be dealt with or covered up.
Even if they are really asked about it afterwards, just blame it on the cult.
As for how to capture this Ryan alive?
Their slave-hunting team is too experienced in this!
Let Danielson cast the Concealment spell on the other two first, and then secretly surround this Ryan. He will attract the other party's attention in front. After Danielson casts the earth magic "Rock and Earth Grip" to restrict the other party's movement, he will cast a net and poison gas together, and soon he will be able to capture the other party alive.
In that case, the Great Knight? He
will only last a little longer than the Peak Knight.
They are already very skilled in this kind of cooperation.
This is why their slave-catching team is the most valued by the Yaxon Auction House in Munster.
The Dutka dog in Hamis's team, similar to the Doberman that Ryan saw in his previous life, suddenly barked.
"No, the mark of this horse hoof is obviously much lighter." Hamis narrowed his narrow eyes and raised his hand to signal everyone to stop moving forward.
The next second, a sharp sound of breaking through the air sounded.
Danielson, a third-level wizard apprentice in the team, just turned his head to check the source of the sound, and saw a black shadow attacking him like lightning!
"Ah!!!"
There was no time to react, and screams suddenly sounded!
Danielson felt a sharp pain in his waist!
Then, the world spun around, and he saw himself falling off the horse, but his familiar legs were still in the stirrups.
The bearded man behind Danielson saw the scene clearly!
Damn it, his companion Danielson didn't even have time to dodge before he was hit in the waist by a powerful black steel arrow!
It's interruption!
Not shooting!
"Enemy attack!" Hammis's face suddenly changed. He rolled off the horse and hid on the side of the horse's belly.
At this time, several people smelled a pleasant fragrance.
It floated down from the upwind direction, a bit like the smell of lavender.
But in the tense battle, the three people didn't think too much about why there was this fragrance.
If they could calm down and think about it, they would immediately understand that even if there was lavender growing nearby.
But in the month of vitality, the lavender has not bloomed yet.
This is actually a gas-type poison made by Ryan according to a formula in the "Maxwell's Rare Poison Making Secret Scroll" - lavender hallucinogen.
The effect is to produce a hallucinogenic effect on people and animals within a certain range.
Of course, this effect has a good effect on ordinary people and knights.
But for the Great Knight level, the effect is much weaker, and it will only cause the opponent to have hallucinations or double visions from time to time.
But this is enough for Ryan.
It's not that the opponent is too powerful, so Ryan has to use poison.
But he mainly wants to test the effect of the poison gas, otherwise, he would not be willing to use it on these people.
At the same time.
"Woo~"
The Dutka dog let out a mournful cry, and saw that it was bitten on the throat by the greyhound war dog 'Cookie'. At this moment, the dog's eyes were blurred, and its limbs were kicking weakly.
At this moment, the three people had no intention of caring about the dog's problem.
Because at this moment, Ryan was holding a two-handed war hammer, smiling, and walked out of the forest leisurely.
Hamis thought, this kid didn't continue to shoot arrows and sneak attacks inside, but came out to fight with the three of them?
Is there something wrong with his brain?
But the next second, several people felt that their eyes were blurred, and Ryan disappeared.
Then, Hamis heard a sound of a watermelon being smashed by a stick, which sounded on his left.
"Bang!"
That was Bueno's position!
Hamis immediately turned his head and saw Bueno's headless body slowly falling to the ground.
Hamis's face suddenly changed!
Is Ryan so strong?
Just as Hamis was about to take action, he saw Ryan in front of him with a double image?
Fuck!
How is this possible!
No, this is poison gas!
"As a sword holder, you... you actually use poison?" Hamis' eyes suddenly widened, pointing at Ryan with an unbelievable look.
These methods that should have been used by him were actually used by Ryan, the sword holder in front of him!
Damn it!
The next second, with another explosion!
"Bang!"
Hamis's face changed several times in a row, and he turned around and flew away!
Although his body would shake slightly from time to time due to the influence of the poison gas, his speed was still not slow at all.
Ryan looked at this scene, but he was not in a hurry. Instead, he slowly took the bow from Cookie, drew the bow and arrow, and aimed at the opponent's vest.
"Chi~"
With a sharp sound of breaking through the air!
A black lightning instantly pierced Hamis' back.
He staggered a few steps and his speed dropped greatly.
Then, Hamis staggered a few times like a drunk, and fell to the ground with a plop!
The four-man team was wiped out!
Ryan walked forward and first glanced at the third-level wizard apprentice.
He saw that the other party was shot in two by his arrow. This is
the bad thing about wizard apprentices. Even if they are third-level apprentices, as long as they are not formal wizards, they have no defense force and are
very powerless against sneak attacks.
This is why many wizard apprentices will practice the knight path at the beginning, because practicing can make wizard apprentices much more survivable.
At this time, Cookie came over with the Dutka dog in his mouth to ask for credit.
Ryan touched Cookie's furry head and praised: "Well done!"
In fact, if Cookie was still the original greyhound and had not evolved, the battle situation would probably be the opposite.
The heavier and stronger Dutka can easily kill an ordinary greyhound.
After sweeping up the spoils, Ryan continued to move forward.
As for the bodies of the four people and the dog?
The beasts in the forest will naturally take them away quickly.
Suddenly thinking of something, Ryan pulled the reins, stopped again, jumped off the horse, and walked quickly into the forest.
Soon, Ryan quickly caught the forest wolf under Cookie's pursuit.
He put his hand on the struggling forest wolf and used the second core skill of the beast priest - 'Beast Vitality'!
Suddenly, the forest wolf stopped resisting.
A surge of heat flowed from the forest wolf's body, through his hands, and into Ryan's body.
The feeling of this heat flow flowing in the body is similar to the recovery effect after adding points, but there is something else.
Ryan dispelled the special effect of the steel body and scratched his finger with the sword blade.
In less than two seconds, the wound healed rapidly.
As expected, in addition to restoring physical strength, the core skill of 'Beast Vitality' can also restore injuries.
At this time, the Timber Wolf looked listless and exhausted, lying on the ground, too lazy to move.
However, at this time, Ryan seemed to be able to hear the distant and slight wolf howling from time to time. This sound was very special, as if it could faintly disturb his mind.
But at this time, because the sound was very subtle, this interference was also very slight and could be ignored.
"Is this the beast soul described in the skill description?" Ryan thought to himself.
After thinking about it, Ryan went into the forest again.
This time, when he came out, he brought a sturdy grizzly bear.
He tried the core skill of 'Beast Vitality' again, and Ryan found that the magical heat flow he could absorb this time was stronger than the previous Timber Wolf.
This shows that the effect of beast vitality is still very related to the strength of the object he absorbs.
In addition, he felt the side effects more clearly.
It seemed that after absorbing the heat flow from the wolf and the bear twice, the wolf and bear howls, which were not so obvious just now, suddenly became much louder, and the interference to the mind became stronger.
At the same time, the bear howl was slightly stronger than the wolf howl.
In addition, this increase was not a gradual linear increase.
It was a leap-like increase.
Although this interference was not too strong for Ryan's 39 points of spirit, he could still resist it easily.
But Ryan couldn't help but think about it.
"In other words, in a short period of time, if the core skill "Beast Vitality" is continuously used, the interference of the side effect "Beast Soul" on the mind will become stronger and stronger?"
At this time, Ryan suddenly turned his head to look at the black horse beside him.
The black horse cried out!
The horse's hooves kept digging the ground, seeming to be extremely irritated.
"Huh?"
"Is it going to evolve?" Ryan raised his eyebrows and showed a happy look on his face.
"What a good time to suddenly evolve at this time."
"Perhaps it's because of today's long journey that the long-term use of the mutation growth potion, which has accumulated in the body, has been fully released?"
At this time, the system prompt also sounded:
[Host pet Jenny horse, affected by the long-term use of the mutation growth potion, began to mutate and evolve! ]
[Mutation and evolution]
The black horse was seen snorting angrily, and the muscles all over his body were trembling. The blood vessels on the surface of the shiny fur were bulging like earthworms!
A few minutes later,
the forehead of the black horse suddenly bulged, and soon, a bulge similar to a rhino horn arched up.
The body shape did not change much, just a little bigger and became stronger.
At this time, the system prompts began to refresh the screen:
[Host's pet Jenny horse, evolved successfully, and now evolved into a ferocious beast 'Quickhorn'! ]
[Your skill beast taming has been improved, experience value +567]
[Your beast sacrifice (legend) career experience +119] [
Congratulations, your beast sacrifice (legend) career level has been upgraded! ]
[Ding! The number of pets that the host can contract has increased, currently (3/4)】
(Note: The trotting wildebeest has awakened the talent ability "trotting")
[Yes/No to rename the trotting wildebeest? ]
Without thinking too much, Ryan chose "No".
The system named it trotting wildebeest, which is very appropriate.
Seeing the black horse successfully evolve, and seeing the level of the beast priest (legend) on the panel from lv1→lv2 (31/300).
The remaining attribute points have increased from 12 points to 13 points again, and more importantly, Ryan's remaining skill points are finally no longer 0.
Double happiness, Ryan couldn't help but smile!
In fact, it was triple happiness, because the number of pets that can be contracted increased by one, reaching four.
Walking around the black horse and carefully examining it, Ryan found that although the black horse's appearance has not changed much, it only has a single horn of about ten centimeters.
But after the mutation, many of the flat teeth of the original herbivore have grown sharp fangs.
Ryan tried to feed some dried meat, and the trotting wildebeest ate it with gusto!
It seemed that its eyes lit up.
That's right.
It used to eat grass, but now it's the first time to eat meat, and the trotting wildebeest feels like it has discovered a new world!
After the trotting wildebeest finished eating, Ryan tried riding it and found that compared with before, it seemed that only the endurance was significantly improved.
However, when using the innate ability "Quick Walk", the speed will be obviously much faster, and the duration is not short.
From this point of view, it is more suitable for long-distance travel.
A quarter of an hour later, Ryan looked at the arrow-shaped road sign in front of him and stopped.
Three arrows, pointing to three directions respectively.
The right turn arrow is Shanjin Town, and the straight arrow is Meister County City, and the left turn is naturally Fishing Port Town.
After a little thought, Ryan did not choose to go to Shanjin Town or County City, but turned left directly and moved quickly towards Fishing Port Town.
Saving people is important!
Not long after, another checkpoint appeared ahead. This checkpoint was more strict. Many spiked wooden barriers blocked the road, and dozens of fully armed giant shield crossbowmen were on guard. When
the other side saw Ryan appear, they immediately became highly alert and shouted, "The front is a battle zone with the sea tribe. Please leave immediately!"
Ryan slowed down and showed the document again before he was allowed to pass.
Not long after, Ryan stood on a hillside not far from the fishing port town, looking at the familiar fishing port town from afar.
At this moment, the fishing port town was full of black smoke, and it was not clear what was happening inside the town at the moment, but it was obvious that many ruins were still burning, and the shouts of fighting were coming from all directions.
In such a chaotic battlefield, it would be difficult to find Alyosha, the youngest daughter of Javier, without guidance.
Fortunately, Ryan had a sensing stone given to him by Javier, which could sense Alyosha's position within a few kilometers.
Ryan took out a nearly transparent induction stone from his arms and walked more than ten meters in several directions.
Relying on his sensitive perception, Ryan found that if he moved in the southeast direction, the light of the induction stone would change slightly and become a little brighter.
Obviously, Alyosha should be in this direction.
So, Ryan used the skill "Eye of the Beast" again, and with the help of Blood Feather's sharp eyesight, he found that a few dozen meters away from the southeast coastline, on an unnamed island, there were a large number of fishmen gathered and
mixed in with several male blood-cursed nagas that were obviously much larger!
What surprised Ryan even more was that when he saw the terrain of the island clearly.
He suddenly found that there was a large hole with a diameter of seven or eight meters in the ground in the center of the island
. In it, there were faintly exposed stone stairs leading to the deep underground, which seemed to imply that this island was hiding unknown secrets!
Thank you for your reward of 100 starting coins for hitting the safe island and composing the death song!
