Chapter 288 Fusion (two chapters in one)
Not only was Ryan worried about the safety of his family in Munster, but he also felt the influence of the "Evil Fire Mark" on him.
In the battle just now, a faint sense of tyranny suddenly rose in his heart, and he wanted to tear the enemy in front of him to pieces.
But fortunately, it didn't last long, and he immediately reacted and controlled this impulse.
So, Ryan just used a heavy punch instead of a rapid cut.
Otherwise, the guy in front of him would have become the raw material for "sliced meat".
But it was still a little late.
The leather-armored man in front of him, who was not sure whether he was an assassin or a spy, had been killed on the spot.
Logically, he should have kept him alive and tortured him before talking about it.
In addition, from this incident, Ryan was alert that the influence of this mark on his heart seemed to be stronger than what His Highness Menia said.
It has only been a day, and there has been such an impact.
Ryan knew that as time went on, the negative impact caused by this mark might become stronger and stronger.
It would be better to eliminate it as soon as possible, so we have to return to Munster as soon as possible.
Claire, attracted by Ryan's solemn face, frowned slightly and said, "Ryan, do you need help?"
"The family has some shops and personnel in Munster, you can transfer
them at will. This is the seal ring representing the direct line of the Habsburg family, and it is also a certificate." Claire took out a round golden seal ring of the Kali bird family and handed it to Ryan.
"Thank you." Ryan thought about it, took it, and did not refuse.
"By the way, there is no airship to Munster tonight, Ryan, why don't you leave early tomorrow morning?"
"Okay." Ryan nodded.
If there is no military airship, even if he rides a trotting wildebeest, it will take half a day to travel all the way, which is almost the same time as leaving early tomorrow morning.
"Shadiya, go and check, what time is the earliest imperial military airship to Munster tomorrow?"
"Yes, Miss Claire." The maid costume beside him bowed slightly and left quickly.
At this time, Claire bent down, and the curve of her tight buttocks was round and full, which made Ryan stunned.
"Ryan, the opponent's weapon is not an ordinary item, it seems to be a dagger of the level of a rare item. Look at the inscription on it." Claire talked for a long time, but did not wait for Ryan's reply.
This made Claire curious. She looked back with her beautiful eyes and saw Ryan staring at her raised buttocks in a daze.
Claire's face immediately turned red!
As the daughter of a hereditary earl, she was more mature than ordinary people in terms of love, but after all, she had never experienced real love, and shyness was still a girl's instinct.
Seeing Claire suddenly straighten up, Ryan came back to his senses and saw Claire's face blushing and handing him a pair of daggers.
"Are you talking about daggers?"
Ryan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
However, Ryan recalled that his impulse just now seemed to be affected by the evil flame mark.
After taking the pair of daggers from the leather armored man, Ryan began to examine them carefully.
Suddenly, Ryan's eyes fixed.
The material of the dagger seemed to be mixed with mithril, and there were also complicated and orderly line symbols on it, which made Ryan's mind flash instantly.
He immediately thought of something - 'mithril carved plate armor'.
It was also the last set of plate armor in "Crowley's Armor Forging Outline Volume 2" that he had never made. It had the special effect of 'slightly amplifying the power of witchcraft'.
"Claire, you just mentioned inscriptions. Do you know anything about inscriptions?" Ryan looked at Claire with a burning gaze.
For Ryan, making mithril carved plate armor is not only attractive to him because of the equipment itself.
Rather, it is likely related to his subsequent job change to 'armor forger'.
But to Ryan's disappointment, Claire shook her head and said, "I don't know much about inscriptions. I can only recognize them simply."
Claire could see that Ryan seemed very interested in inscriptions, so she added.
"But, as far as I know, there are several inscription masters in Munster. Although their level may not be very high, if you just want to get a preliminary understanding of inscriptions, it should be enough."
"Are there any in Munster?" Ryan's eyes lit up when he heard the news.
"Of course, the difficulty of learning inscriptions is that it requires a lot of mental strength, so if you want to learn advanced inscription skills, you can only go to the wizard school."
"Generally, those who master advanced inscription skills are formal wizards of various wizard schools."
Hearing this, Ryan immediately figured out something.
He had been looking for an inscription master in the blacksmith shop before, which was no less than looking for fish in a tree. He had gone in the wrong direction .
After returning to the room, Ryan suddenly remembered.
Because of the sudden incident just now, he had not had time to ask Claire about the blood breathing method.
But after a little thought, he felt that the matter of the blood breathing method did not seem to affect the fusion of the two breathing methods in his hands.
The reason was very simple. If the effect of the two breathing methods after fusion was not good, or even conflicting,
then there was no need for him to learn the blood breathing method.
If the effect was good, he could learn more about the blood breathing method later.
In other words, this fusion could just be regarded as an experiment.
After making up his mind, Ryan called up the system prompt, looked at it again, and soon, he chose "Yes!"
Then, on the Weapon Master (Legend) panel, the lv18 Bear King Breathing Technique flashed a few times and then disappeared, and the words "Unknown Breathing Technique" appeared instead.
The lv behind it began to jump wildly.
Soon, the number was fixed at lv15.
After the transformation, the lv18 Bear King Breathing Technique was reduced by three levels.
You know, these three levels require 3 gold skill points to upgrade.
This made Ryan feel a little painful.
But after a little sense, Ryan knew that this should be a good thing.
Because at this moment, he did not have the kind of body awkwardness when practicing the Fire Iguana Breathing Technique in the morning, but some parts of his body felt faintly hot.
These parts are mostly concentrated in some small muscle groups and fascia of the calves, some fascia of the waist, etc.
At the same time, a huge torrent of memories about practicing the unknown breathing method began to flow into Ryan's mind, making Ryan feel a little swollen.
For a while, Ryan felt as if he had practiced the unknown breathing method for decades in a mysterious space!
After he absorbed this memory, the system prompt also came:
[Yes/No to rename the new breathing method? ]
After thinking about it, Ryan chose 'Yes'.
"Fire Bear Breathing Method!"
"Since it is a fusion of the Fire Iguana Breathing Method and the Bear King Breathing Method, then take the first word of each and rename it."
"After all, this new breathing method has been completely changed. It is very different from the original Fire Iguana Breathing Method or the Bear King Breathing Method."
However, naming is just a small matter. What Ryan is more concerned about is naturally the effect.
This fusion of the system seems to be a combination of strengths and weaknesses.
Not only does it preserve the advantages of the Bear King Breathing Method in strengthening strength and physique, but it also combines the advantages of the Fire Iguana Breathing Method in strengthening agility and inducing some extraordinary characteristics.
Ryan reviewed the movements of the new breathing method in his mind, and the total number has now reached 24.
If you look closely at these movements, you will find that there are shadows of the Fire Iguana and Bear King Breathing Methods in them.
A few minutes later, two more system prompts came quietly:
[Congratulations! Your physical attributes have been improved! 】
【Congratulations! Your agility attributes have been improved! 】
Eh?
Ryan's eyes lit up!
"The effect is so fast?"
"So, if we integrate other breathing methods, is it possible?"
"However, we should first choose to integrate the excellent breathing method, and perhaps the improvement will be more obvious."
"After all, it consumes 4 gold skill points at a time, which is not a small amount."
"As for the excellent breathing method, although Claire doesn't have it, there must be an excellent breathing method in the Sword Bearer branch."
-
Munster.
In a noble mansion.
"Stanley, even if this Ryan is your man, your attitude just now is a little too much, right?" Drake couldn't help but feel a little unhappy.
At the same time, he became more and more certain of his inner guess.
This new sword bearer Ryan may have accepted the recruitment of his old classmate in front of him.
"My man?" Stanley laughed angrily.
"Haha, Drake, I can only tell you that this Ryan is a rising star in the Munster Sword Bearer Branch. Even Admiral Edward appreciates him very much."
"Hmm? Admiral Edward?"
This made Drake's face condensed, and he immediately thought about it.
No one would offend an imperial admiral for no reason. It would be very troublesome and stupid.
But the problem is that his nephew Melward urgently needs this pair of ancient troll fangs in the recent blood awakening ceremony.
Moreover, his brother Marquis Orenz has asked many people for help in the past few days, but he couldn't find a pair of ancient troll fangs that meet the requirements in a short time.
So, even if he offended Admiral Edward, there was nothing he could do.
After weighing the pros and cons, Drake looked up at Stanley and said firmly:
"Stanley, tell the truth, my brother Marquis Orenz attaches great importance to this matter. Before I came to Munster, he told me very clearly that this matter must be resolved."
"So, even if it offends Admiral Edward, I think I have to do it." Drake said in a deep voice.
"Stupid, why don't you ask why Ryan is so valued by Admiral Edward?" Stanley became even more angry, with a kind of anger that he hated iron for not being able to make steel.
Hearing this, Draco was stunned, thought about it, and asked:
"Why?"
"Uh, I can't tell you this." Stanley, who was about to say this, suddenly shook his head.
Because Stanley remembered that this matter was confidential, the specific content could not be disclosed.
"Stanley, are you kidding me?"
"No, because this content is confidential. Let me tell you what I can tell you, and you will understand." Stanley thought for a while and said.
"You know the Imperial Guardian, the Dragon Knight, His Royal Highness Menia, right?"
"Get to the point, Stanley, do you think I don't know His Royal Highness Menia? Don't tell me that this Ryan is His Royal Highness Menia's illegitimate son." Drake glanced at Stanley unhappily and said.
He had read Ryan's resume a long time ago. He was born in a small town in Meister, Munster Province. He and His Royal Highness Menia, known as the 'Red Queen', are not related at all.
He just didn't believe that there could be any relationship between the two.
"His Royal Highness Menia gave Ryan a red dragon scale. I don't need to say more about the rest." Stanley stared at Drake and said lightly.
"What!" Drake couldn't help but be shocked and stood up suddenly.
The red dragon scales of Her Highness Menia were not given casually.
Only those whom she admired could obtain them.
Looking at the entire empire, there were only a handful of young people who could have this honor, and most of them were descendants of the royal family or royal in-laws.
Now, if he killed this Ryan, and the news reached Her Highness Menia's ears, I'm afraid that the Orenz family would be reduced to ashes by a ball of dragon breath.
The next second, he immediately shouted to the outside of the door: "Griffith, quickly tell Griffith to stop the action."
An old man dressed in a black tuxedo and looking like a butler walked in quickly, puzzled: "Lord Drake, Lord Griffith had already gone to Meister half a day ago."
"He should have arrived by now, and he may have started the action."
"Quick! Contact him immediately and tell him to stop the action!"
"Stop?" The butler was even more confused.
"Yes! Go!"
"As you command, Lord Drake." Seeing his master's grim face, the butler knew that the matter was of great importance, and left in a hurry with a little panic.
"Drake, have you sent someone?" Stanley's face was also extremely grim.
"Then prepare to collect the bodies for your people!"
"Huh? Stanley, are you so confident in this Ryan?" Drake saw that Stanley did not seem to worry about Ryan's life or death, and asked in confusion.
"Of course, I believe that Lord Ryan will be fine."
"But you may be in big trouble!"
"Old classmate, I suggest you prepare a generous compensation immediately, otherwise, not only you, but also your brother, Marquis Orenzi, may be in big trouble in the future."
"Think about it carefully, I'm leaving first."
"By the way, I didn't show up here tonight." After saying that, Stanley left quickly.
He didn't intend to get involved in this matter.
It's too late for him to make friends with Ryan.
Drake thought for a while, quickly picked up the paper and quill, and wrote.
He had to tell his brother about this matter immediately.
——Near
the provincial capital of Minster.
A small town called Barrington.
In the central area of the town, a middle-aged man wearing a gray robe and looking gentle and elegant was walking on the main road of the town with a book in his hand and a smile on his face.
"Clerk Exter, you are busy so late." A bloated aunt greeted enthusiastically.
"Hello, Clerk Exter." A child greeted respectfully.
"Well, I just finished." Exter smiled, turned around and greeted the little boy next to him: "Hello, little Joey."
The middle-aged man named Exter is the clerk of the town of Barrington.
The position of clerk is the head of the staff who assists the mayor in handling clerical affairs. Generally speaking, a town has only one mayor, but there will be four or five clerks.
And the clerk is the person responsible for managing these four or five clerks.
When Exter returned to the house in the north corner of the town, he looked serious and said, "Freeman, didn't I tell you?"
"Don't come to me before 12 o'clock in the evening."
"Your Excellency the High Priest, our mission has failed." A slightly embarrassed figure walked out of the shadow of the room that had never been lit. It was Freeman who had fled back from Meister in a hurry.
At this moment, there were bloodstains on his eyes and forehead. His black robe was also tattered. His arms were also wrapped in bandages and faintly oozing blood.
He was not as high-spirited as when he awakened the ancient hero Monger before. He looked more like a dog that had lost its home.
Exter was stunned when he saw Freeman's embarrassed look!
He no longer pursued his deputy's violation of the agreement with him. Before 12 o'clock in the evening, he came to his residence in the town of Barrington.
"Black tea or Bordeaux?" Exter motioned Freeman to sit down and said, while walking towards the wine cabinet.
"The mission failed? Freeman, which mission are you talking about?"
"All failed! Laxul is dead too." Freeman said rather frustratedly.
Hearing this, Exter's hand couldn't help but tremble slightly, and a little of the amber Bordeaux liquid in his hand was spilled on the table next to the glass.
"Didn't the Secret Snake Cult come?" Exter placed the Bordeaux in front of Freeman, and at the same time, sat on the sheepskin chair beside him.
"No, they came, and the legendary land snake was successfully controlled, and also helped us dig an underground tunnel leading to the center of Mayest County." Freeman knew what his high priest wanted to know.
If the mission went smoothly, he would not want to come to the high priest of his own church.
Since a few years ago, the other party has not managed the church affairs in the province of Munster. Most of the church affairs have been entrusted to him and another person.
And the other party spends most of his time here in the small town of Barrington, working as a clerk.
At that time, he only thought that the other party's decision was completely incredible.
But until one time the other party got angry, the vast mental power made Freeman wake up.
The other party is impacting a higher level.
Because according to the current power of the great hunting god, it is rare to directly improve the strength of his followers.
Especially if you want to please the gods through sacrifice and enter the legendary level, the sacrifice ceremony that needs to be carried out must be earth-shattering.
As time goes by, when the situation in the empire is more turbulent, it may be possible.
But at present, it is still not possible.
And the person in front of him wants to rely on his own strength to enter the level of a third-level crystal wizard. I really don't know what he should say.
"Don't resist."
Freeman didn't react to what he meant, and saw Exter suddenly pointed at him.
"Dark healing!"
A black airflow suddenly lingered around Freeman's body. In just two or three seconds, the wounds on his body had completely healed without a trace.
"Almost instantaneous first-level shadow magic."
"High Priest, you..." Freeman said with a dull face and astonishment.
"Well, I just successfully entered the crystallized wizard a few days ago."
Seeing that his own high priest had actually entered the legendary level with his own strength, Freeman didn't know what to say in his heart.
At the same time, there was a deep sense of discouragement.
Before, he had once thought of replacing the other party, but now it seems that it is simply a joke.
Others didn't regard him as an opponent at all.
After thinking about it, Freeman told Exter in detail about the situation he encountered.
"What? The ancient hero Monger died, killed by a young man who holds the sword of the empire?" Exter was also shocked when he heard the reason for the failure.
He knew the strength of the ancient hero Monger too well. He was one of the seven ancient heroes in the thousands of years of history of the Black Flame Church. Even if his strength was greatly damaged and fell from the epic level.
But no matter what, there are legendary-level powers.
".How strong is this Ryan?" Exter asked with a frown.
"He is a great knight and a first-level wizard, but the power he has shown has reached the level of quasi-legendary." Freeman said with certainty.
"Perhaps, this Ryan is the illegitimate son of a great noble in the empire." Exter said.
"Do you mean that the other party has a certain bloodline? Is he the offspring of a bloodline noble?"
"Well, from what you just said, the other party's body has become larger, and there are at least three bloodline nobles in the empire who have such characteristics when their bloodline talents burst out."
Freeman looked surprised, but soon nodded, with a look of sudden realization.
"No wonder, this explains why this Ryan's combat power is so strong!"
"As for the ability of the other party to harm the soul that you said, I guess it should be the special effect of some kind of witchcraft scroll. You know, the offspring of such a great noble always have some trump cards."
Exter thought for a while and said.
"It's very likely, High Priest, what should we do next?"
The death of the ancient hero Monger affected a series of subsequent events in the church.
"As an ally, Freeman, I have to trouble you to communicate with the Secret Snake Cult and inform them of the death of their two messengers."
"In addition, while the situation in Munster is turbulent, Freeman, you should quickly hold a blood sacrifice ceremony to collect blood crystals, because the day of canonization is coming soon."
"The day of canonization?" Freeman was stunned. He understood the meaning of the first half of the sentence, but he didn't quite understand the second half. What does the day of canonization have to do with them?
"On the last Sunday of the Green Grass Month every year, the newly promoted barons and viscounts throughout the province of Munster will come to the provincial capital of Munster for formal canonization."
"At that time, I want to hold a high-quality sacrifice ceremony." Exter said slowly with a smile.
Freeman looked at his own High Priest in shock. At this time, he finally understood the other party's ambition.
Is this to please the gods and enter the next level?
