Chapter 264 Epic! (Two chapters in one)
Having just mastered two new secrets, if there were no training grounds in his villa, Ryan would have practiced them. Now, he could only suppress his eagerness to try.
"My Weapon Master (Legendary) profession, coupled with the innate sorcery 'Metal Transfiguration', is naturally suitable for dealing with different combat scenarios."
"In other words, relying on the nearly instantaneous 'Metal Transfiguration', my legendary profession - Weapon Master, has been greatly strengthened!"
"First of all, I don't need to carry six or seven weapons in every battle to adapt to combat in different scenarios, which greatly reduces my burden."
"In each battle in the future, I only need to carry an appropriate amount of special metals to achieve the effect of carrying multiple weapons."
"Secondly, in combat, the sudden deformation of my weapons and the drastic changes in combat style will inevitably catch the enemy off guard."
Thinking of this, Ryan's brows relaxed and a smile appeared on his face.
"This is also the most suitable place for 'Metal Transfiguration' and my legendary profession of weapon master!"
"It has the effect of one plus one being far greater than two!"
"I can imagine that in a certain battle, my weapon suddenly changes from a two-handed warhammer at the beginning to a short spear. The enemy is surprised and may be at a loss, so I can seize the opportunity."
"Of course, the iron must be hard itself."
"Finally, and at the same time, the most important point is that I'd better be able to master every weapon transformed by 'Metal Transfiguration' to the level of mystery!"
"That would be amazing!"
Ryan sighed in his heart.
"However, the points are limited, and it is impossible to add all of them, so I have to think about it carefully."
A knight or a great knight can use multiple weapons, which is not difficult, and it is not too difficult to master one or two weapons!
But if you want to master multiple weapons, this is very difficult!
In this process, it takes a lot of time and energy for a person to practice hard, and the premise is still under the support of good talent.
As for wanting to do what Ryan did, almost every extraordinary combat skill of different weapon categories has mastered the mystery.
This is too difficult!
"I have the hammer secret, which is also the only weapon that has reached the advanced secret level. It is suitable for dealing with powerful individuals, or huge ferocious beasts, etc."
"I have the sound wave secret, which is suitable for dealing with groups of enemies that are not that strong."
"It's a pity, if there are other group attack secrets, even if the enemy is stronger, I can destroy the opponent! There are still not enough group attack means."
Ryan said to himself.
"I also have the secret of one-handed axe and shield. This is more suitable for use in defensive counterattacks, or when there is no offensive opportunity in a short period of time."
"I don't have the secret of long-range attack yet!"
"If the hardened adamantium is transformed into a bow, the elasticity of the bow arm is too poor, and the power is not as good as throwing weapons. Just like when I counterattacked today, I used the short spear transformed by metal deformation at the first time."
"It seems that the next step is to try to find a throwing-type extraordinary combat skill!
" "Of course, it would be better if there were offensive metal witchcraft, but this is a bit hard to come by. It should be relatively easy to find a throwing-type extraordinary combat skill first."
Ryan thought for a while and summarized some experience on the conditions under which various weapons are used.
After thinking it through, Ryan immediately checked the skills under the Battle Master (Legend) profession panel.
A few minutes later.
He focused his attention on the 'Kadar Fist'.
Now Ryan has no skill points, but Kadar Fist has been upgraded from lv10 when he just changed to Weapon Master in many previous battles. To lv12.
In other words, only gold skill points are needed for subsequent skill points.
As for why he chose to upgrade the "Kadar Fist"?
The reason is that after thinking about it, Ryan thought that when fighting with wizards, sometimes it would be better to close the distance and attack at a very fast speed and high frequency.
From the perspective of the psychology of enemies who are generally good at witchcraft or long-range attacks, facing close combat, the opponent will be more or less panicked.
In addition, in a narrow environment, Kadar Fist can also achieve miraculous effects, which was clearly reflected in the cave battle between him and the Sea God Messenger Miarko.
Therefore, Ryan decided to upgrade Kadar Fist.
Of course, he also wanted to see what kind of mystery Kadar Fist would bring.
Don't forget that Kadar Fist has two secret skills.
With the investment of gold skill points, Kadar Fist instantly upgraded to level 13, and Ryan seemed to have come to a mysterious space. In an instant, he experienced several years of hard training in Kadar Fist.
When Ryan came to his senses, the system prompt came as expected:
[Congratulations, you have mastered the primary secret of Kadar boxing: heavy punch combo! ]
[Congratulations, you have mastered the primary secret of Kadar boxing: rapid cutting! ]
"Sure enough, just as expected! Two secrets, derived from two secrets!" Ryan's face was delighted.
At the same time, Ryan soon saw two new icons located just above "Kadar boxing" on the Weapon Master (Legend) panel.
The description is as follows:
Heavy punch combo (primary secret) effect: Use a special force-generating method of the Force combined with boxing to hit several heavy punches with extremely strong destructive power in a very short time.
Rapid cutting (primary secret) effect: Use a special force-generating method of the Force combined with the sharp knuckles to quickly swing and cut the enemy's limbs.
(Rapid Cutting is upgraded to the intermediate secret, the following conditions must be met: 1. Kadar Boxing lv14 or above; 2. Bear King Breathing lv14 or above; 3. Strength 38 points, Agility 35 points, Constitution 32 points or above; 4. Consume 1 gold skill point.)
At this time, Ryan looked thoughtful again, crossed his arms, and paced back and forth in the room.
"I just used a total of 2 points, and now I have 6 gold skill points."
"If I upgrade all the four newly mastered primary secrets to the intermediate secrets, it will only take 4 gold skill points."
Ryan's eyes lit up!
He immediately made up his mind to upgrade all the four newly mastered primary secrets. As for the gold skill points, they can always be earned.
The next second.
As the number of gold skill points on the panel changed from 6 to 2, the system prompts appeared like a screen refresh:
[Congratulations, you have mastered the intermediate secret of Locken Axe and Shield Combat Skill: Flash Cut! 】
【Congratulations, you have understood it】
So far, the four primary mysteries, 'Flash Cut', 'Iron Wall', 'Heavy Punch Combo' and 'Rapid Cut', have all been upgraded to intermediate mysteries by Ryan.
Looking at the four freshly baked intermediate mysteries, Ryan showed satisfaction.
The next morning.
After bidding farewell to his family and the beautiful woman Jennifer, Ryan set off for the Tianya Hotel where Claire was staying.
Ryan was carrying a war hammer with a miniature skull on the front end on one side of his waist, which was the 'Skull War Hammer', and a long wooden box behind him, which contained a replica of the emperor's scepter.
As for weapons such as the Glimmer Greatsword, Ryan hung them on both sides of the fast-walking wildebeest 'Little Black'.
Originally, Ryan did not intend to bring the Glimmer Greatsword, because the surface of the Glimmer Greatsword had been quenched and polished, and if the metal deformation technique was used to change it, it would destroy the surface hardening effect.
That is to say, if Ryan fought with the Glimmering Giant Sword, it would be slightly sharper, but it could not be deformed.
However, Ryan changed his mind and thought that he could put the weapon on the fast-trotting wildebeest 'Little Black', which had already become a ferocious beast. He didn't have to carry it on his back and it didn't increase the weight. It didn't affect his speed in battle, but it had the effect of tactical misleading.
So Ryan still took the weapon.
Riding on the tall fast-trotting wildebeest 'Little Black', Ryan followed by a ferocious war dog 'Cookie' the size of a pony, and came to the door of the Tianya Inn quite eye-catching.
At this time, the luxurious carriage marked with the emblem of the Kali bird and two teams of elite cavalry totaling 24 people were waiting at the door of the Tianya Inn, and Claire and her servant had just walked out of the inn.
The time was just right.
Claire naturally noticed Ryan riding a tall horse.
"Two ferocious pets?" Claire's eyes lit up, and she immediately saw the extraordinaryness of the war horse under Ryan's crotch and the war dog behind him.
However, there were too many people at the entrance of the inn to chat, so Claire nodded to Ryan and got on the carriage.
"Sir Ryan, Miss Claire, please get on the carriage with me." Just as Ryan was about to ride the trotting wildebeest 'Little Black' and the cavalry to follow Claire's carriage, the head maid Shadiya walked over quickly and smiled.
"Hmm? Am I getting on the carriage too? Then my warhorse."
"I'll take care of Sir Ryan's warhorse." The butler Yodel said with a smile on his face.
"Okay, thank you for your trouble."
Ryan hadn't seen Claire for a long time, so he naturally wanted to chat with her.
When Ryan got on the carriage, he found that the space inside the carriage was extremely spacious and luxurious, with two rows in front and back, and a long brown solid wood coffee table in the middle.
After Ryan got on the carriage, the whole team slowly set off for Wales County.
Inside the carriage.
"By the way, Ryan, remember that I taught you the Giant Bear Swordsmanship before, but in terms of level and power, the Giant Bear Swordsmanship as a supernatural combat skill is not very strong. I have a scroll of Arcadia Swordsmanship here, let it be a gift to you, the Guardian Knight."
Claire smiled, took a pale yellow ancient scroll from Shadiya's hand, and handed it to Ryan.
"Arcadia Swordsmanship?"
"Yes, Arcadia, the full name is Arcadia Payson, a famous swordsman hundreds of years ago! Ryan, you can take a look first, it should be of some help to you."
Ryan's mind moved when he heard it, and he immediately took the scroll and opened it to read.
Ryan would naturally not refuse the Arcadia Swordsmanship provided by Claire.
Especially since this is a supernatural combat skill from a swordsman!
The secret of the giant bear swordsmanship he learned before was the sonic secret. It was not that it was bad, but it was quite different from the traditional two-handed sword secret.
Therefore, Ryan was still looking forward to what kind of secrets this Arcadia swordsmanship would bring him after mastering it.
"I remember you once asked me if I was practicing the giant bear swordsmanship. In fact, I have been practicing this two-handed swordsmanship since I was a child, and it is also a family treasure." Claire remembered the past, and the smile on her pretty face became brighter.
"It's just that the entry difficulty of this swordsmanship is relatively high. However, I think with your talent, it won't be too difficult to learn."
"I estimate that you will be able to master it in less than one or two months."
Ryan listened and looked at the Arcadia swordsmanship, his eyes bright!
"By the way, although I am no longer your opponent now, if it is just Arcadia swordsmanship sparring, Ryan, if you want, you can come to me at any time." Claire suggested.
Swordsmanship sparring?
Ryan's heart moved when he heard it.
This immediately reminded him of the sparring scene between him and Claire.
According to the situation at that time, it was not very appropriate to call it sparring. It was more of a one-sided teaching by Claire.
Recalling the past scene, Ryan couldn't help but smile.
"Thank you, Miss Claire. I hope you can give me more advice then."
"You're welcome, Ryan. Don't forget that you are my guardian knight now."
Since Claire's luxurious carriage was pulled by four horses, its speed was not much slower than that of the cavalry.
The whole team galloped all the way. By noon, they had arrived in the territory of Wales County. It was about two hours away from the agreed location.
However, at noon, the team naturally needed to adjust and rest. Soon, in a woodland on the side of the road, everyone gathered around several bonfires.
Picking up firewood and cooking these chores naturally didn't need to be worried about by Ryan and Claire. Butler Yodel and head maid Shadiya had already arranged them in an orderly manner.
Taking advantage of the break, Ryan walked up to Claire and said, "Miss Claire, if possible, I would like to ask you about Arcadian swordsmanship."
"Hmm?"
Claire looked at Ryan with a pair of puzzled eyes.
"Ryan, don't tell me that you have already gotten started? Just a short while in the carriage?"
"I have some understanding. If Miss Claire can take the time to teach me, I believe I should be able to master it quickly."
Although Claire didn't quite believe it, she immediately nodded in agreement.
"Of course."
The two of them then came to a clearing in the woods.
"Ryan, it's agreed that you can only use Arcadian swordsmanship, otherwise, I'm not your opponent." Claire said with a smile.
"Of course." Ryan smiled.
Immediately, two high-speed moving figures appeared on the clearing, and the sound of clanging and clashes was heard more frequently.
Although it was just a competition of learning from each other, the elite cavalrymen who were sitting on the ground and resting were watching with great interest.
Arcadia's swordplay was very powerful, and the attack was quite gorgeous. Claire, the weaker of the two, also had the strength of a peak knight. In the eyes of the cavalry, she was an untouchable existence.
A few minutes later, the figure moving at high speed stopped instantly.
Claire's towering chest rose and fell violently, and her beautiful eyes looked at Ryan in disbelief.
Although the Arcadia swordplay Ryan had just performed was not yet an entry-level skill and was obviously at a disadvantage, Claire could clearly feel that Ryan's control of Arcadia's swordplay was slowly improving during this process.
This comprehension of extraordinary combat skills was really terrifying!
This made Claire understand a little bit, why Ryan's strength could be so strong in just half a year.
At the same time, Claire quickly thought of another question. She glanced at the 'skull hammer' on Ryan's waist and couldn't help asking:
"Ryan, are you good at several extraordinary fighting skills?"
Because the day before, she witnessed Ryan killing 'Ice Messenger' Grant with a short spear.
"Yes, Miss Claire." Ryan thought for a moment and nodded.
"In addition to the two-handed sword, you should also be good at hammer skills, right? Are there any other skills besides that?"
"Yes, there are also shields and one-handed axes."
Claire was a little speechless for a while.
This talent for rapid comprehension of extraordinary combat skills is really
"Ryan, you are already proficient in so many weapons. Even in the imperial capital, I have hardly seen anyone with your talent or ability."
"It's really rare."
However, at this time, Claire looked thoughtful, as if she had thought of something, and continued: "However, your talent reminds me of a race in ancient times, which is very similar to you."
"Ancient race?" Ryan raised his eyebrows, obviously quite interested in Claire's topic.
"Yes, I wonder if you have heard of it? The ancient trolls."
"Yeah!" Ryan's eyes lit up.
Of course he had heard of this, not only heard of it, but he also looked up several related ancient books.
Claire nodded and explained:
"The ancient trolls once lived in the primitive dense forest. In the forest of that period, there were many ferocious beasts, various giant beasts and even more terrifying ancient creatures. The living environment was very harsh, but they established a powerful ancient troll empire."
"This is closely related to the bravery and fighting skills of the ancient trolls."
"Because basically adult trolls are very good at using various weapons to fight, just like you, they will use two-handed swords, heavy hammers, spears, various throwing weapons, etc. to fight."
"For this reason, they also built an ancient and majestic Colosseum. In order to show their bravery, they not only fight with giant beasts, but also fight among themselves."
"Among the most brave and warlike people, the strongest king who is best at using weapons will be selected, and will be crowned with the title of 'King of Thousand Blades'! Enjoy a lofty status in the tribe."
Suddenly, Ryan froze!
Because just now, he got a system prompt:
[Ding! Detected that the host listened to ancient secrets, triggering the special advanced job transfer of Weapon Master (Legend) - King of Thousand Blades (Epic)! 】
【The prerequisites for promotion to the King of Thousand Blades (Epic) are: 1. Weapon Master lv9 or above; 2. Master nine different mysteries; 3. Physical level 2 limit breaking value is above 90%; 4. Any breathing method lv18 or above; 5. Strength is above 50 points, Agility is above 50 points, Constitution is above 50 points. The current conditions are not met! Job transfer to the King of Thousand Blades (Epic) failed! 】
Hmm?
It's actually an epic class!!!
King of Thousand Blades?
A king who is good at a thousand kinds of weapons, isn't that exaggerated!
For a moment, Ryan's mind turned a hundred times!
——Maest, Wolf Hills.
On a main road, several strong men wearing the armbands of the Empire's special department Earthshakers fell on the side of the road, with many scars and signs of heavy blood loss.
And a middle-aged man in a black robe was still emitting bursts of blood light, but as the battle ended, it gradually dimmed.
"Lord Bloodburner, these guys who don't know their own strength dare to come to trouble you. They are really courting death." A Black Flame monk wearing a black robe with a black flame tattooed on his collar came forward and flattered.
"Stop flattering me. By the way, how is that matter going?" Laxul waved his hand.
"Lord, I was just about to report this to you." As if he had thought of something, the black-robed man who reported the matter had a strange look on his face.
"Uh, sir, just now I got the news from the insider in Count Habsburg's mansion that their young lady did not arrive in Meister by military airship."
"Instead, she will take a carriage from Munster, first go to Welsh County, and then arrive in Meister."
"Hmm? Is the news confirmed?" This surprised Laxul a little.
Because, according to the original discussion between him and his subordinates, he thought that the other party would definitely choose to arrive in Meister by imperial military airship. After all, airships are not only much faster than carriages, but also safer.
Therefore, they were all ready to attack the enemy on the road between the landing point of the airship in Meister and the residence of Count Habsburg.
Since the road was on the main road of Meister, there were patrol teams all around.
In addition, considering that there must be a certain number of guards around the enemy, if they wanted to capture the daughter of the earl alive, they naturally needed a master to quickly resolve the battle within two or three minutes and transfer the enemy away.
If the time was delayed for more than ten minutes, several imperial sword bearers in Meister County would be alarmed and come to help quickly, so for the sake of safety, it would be best to resolve the battle within five minutes.
This is why Laxul planned to take action himself.
And now the news they got was much more interesting!
The other party actually chose to take a carriage from Munster to Wales County first, and then arrive in Meister?
This made Laxul and his men laugh.
"It seems that I don't need to take action. This lady from the Habsburg family doesn't quite understand who she is against."
"Since she is going to Wales County, I just need to stay here and wait for good news from Galina."
Galina is the successor to Laxul as the chief priest of Wales County. She is ruthless and especially good at illusion.
"Go and contact Galina. Tell her to find a suitable opportunity to get this done. I don't care about the others, but I want the earl's daughter alive."
"Yes, sir."
