Chapter 289: Gazing Eyes (Two chapters in one)
Exter knew it very well.
After he entered the level of crystallized wizard, it was extremely difficult for him to improve. At
this time, if he wanted to continue to improve his strength, he had to find a way to please the great hunting god and pray for the blessing of the gods.
And if he sacrificed ordinary people, unless the number was in units of 100,000, otherwise, the corresponding blessing would not be enough for him to enter a higher level.
"Knock, knock!"
At this time, a knock on the door suddenly sounded.
"What a coincidence, Freeman, Burrigus is back as well." Exter said with a smile.
Burrigus?
Hearing this name, Freeman's face froze.
The other party, like him, was Exter's deputy. When Exter was hiding behind the scenes, the two of them fought fiercely.
When Exter opened the door, Freeman saw the familiar figure of the other party.
However, this time, the other party held something like a picture frame in his hand.
Because the thing was covered by a black cloth, Freeman could only roughly guess.
"Your Excellency the Archbishop, Freeman is here too." Obviously, Burrigs didn't expect Freeman to be here today. He just grinned at Freeman and said hello.
"It seems that the mission went smoothly." After closing the door, Exter focused his eyes on the black cloth frame in Burrigs' hand.
This made Freeman quite curious, and he immediately focused his attention on the item.
"Lucky success!"
Burrigs didn't keep it a secret, and immediately took off the black cloth.
Sure enough, as Freeman guessed, it was a painting.
When Burrigs turned the painting to them, Freeman's pupils suddenly shrank and his face was shocked!
Immediately, he thought of something and blurted out:
"Your Excellency the Archbishop, is this the painting called 'Gazing Eyes' in the history of the church?"
"Yes, Freeman, it seems that you have spent time studying the ancient books of the church recently." Exter smiled slightly.
The scenery in the painting was very simple.
A boy of seven or eight years old was holding a girl puppet, standing in front of a glass panel door. On the inside of the checkered glass on the door, there were various handprints like children's graffiti.
These handprints were very small, and they should all be children, but the direction of the palms was inconsistent.
But if you look closely at the glass door, it seems that there are many short transparent figures inside.
The most terrifying thing about this painting is that the eyes of the girl puppet are completely black, and the boy's eyes are also the same. The two of them turned slightly to the side and stared in a certain direction.
Although they turned their faces to the side, people who looked at this painting had a creepy feeling of being stared at.
-
At the same time.
Meister County City, Count Habsburg's Mansion.
"I didn't expect that after the fusion of the breathing method, the effect of further improving physical fitness would be so good." Ryan's eyes lit up.
However, Ryan thought of another thing immediately.
Now that the fusion effect of the fire iguana breathing method is so good, what about the blood breathing method?
First of all, can he practice it?
If he can, will the effect after fusion be better?
Thinking of this, Ryan was slightly excited and lost all sleepiness.
After thinking for a while, Ryan walked out of the bedroom and headed towards Claire's room.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
"Who?" A female voice with a hint of vigilance came out.
"It's me, Ryan."
Ryan could clearly feel Claire's breathing relax. As footsteps came from inside, the door opened soon.
Claire was wearing a white silk nightgown, low-cut and hollow, showing a large area of white and delicate skin, and a belt of the same style was tied around her waist.
Because the belt slightly tightened the tight and elastic waist, Claire's towering chest and the plump buttocks below the waist were very obvious.
Claire didn't expect Ryan to come to her so late at night. At this moment, she had already changed into pajamas and rested.
Until she opened the door, she saw Ryan's eyes obviously lingering on a certain place for a while.
Claire realized that her pajamas were not only hollowed out in many places, but also made of thin silk that was almost translucent. Immediately, the girl's fair face turned red.
"Ryan, you..." Claire's heart was beating fast.
Ryan came to her at this time. Could it be that he wanted to
"Ahem, Claire, this is it, I want to ask if the blood breathing method can only be practiced by people with a specific bloodline?"
Hearing Ryan's question, Claire's beautiful eyes stared at Ryan with a strange look, as if saying, 'You woke me up in the middle of the night just to ask this? '
"Of course."
"In fact, it's not just ordinary people who can't practice it. If the blood concentration of the offspring is not enough, it is also impossible to practice the blood breathing method completely."
After hearing Claire's answer, Ryan nodded. He was not surprised by this conclusion.
However, Ryan is different from others in one aspect. He has a system.
So. Whether it works or not, you have to try it to know.
Ryan had just thought about this question. If he could practice the Blood Breathing Method, then the question was,
where could he get a copy of the Blood Breathing Method?
The answer was obvious. The most likely source was the Habsburg family.
"Claire, can I take a look at the Habsburg family's blood breathing method? Of course, if it's top secret or embarrassing, forget it."
Ryan considered his words and said in the most tactful tone possible.
"Of course."
To Ryan's surprise, Claire agreed very readily.
She immediately turned around and took out a parchment scroll from the cabinet in the bedroom and handed it to Ryan.
"Thank you!"
Surprised, Ryan immediately opened it and started reading.
Soon, he discovered the difference between the blood breathing method and the ordinary breathing method. The blood breathing method added some specific sensing descriptions to the action posture annotations on the side.
For example, the first action requires sensing the special rhythm of a certain part of the body to be completed.
This made Ryan look thoughtful. Soon, he ignored Claire's presence and immediately performed the first action in Claire's room.
Claire looked at Ryan with interest, feeling happy and a little disappointed.
It was naturally a good thing that his guardian knight was so motivated.
But he came to her late at night to practice,
which made her feel a little disappointed!
Ryan repeated the first action several times.
He was very sure that there was no problem with the posture, but he did not feel the rhythm of his shoulder blade at all.
According to the requirements of the blood breathing method, it is considered complete only when you feel this rhythm.
"Claire, do you know about the blood breathing methods of other families? Do they also have this special sensing requirement?"
"Yes, this is a special effect that only people with blood can achieve by practicing the corresponding blood breathing method." Claire nodded.
Ryan nodded.
It seems that he really cannot practice the blood breathing method.
This made him feel a little regretful.
For him, as long as he can get started, he can add points through the system to directly improve and integrate the blood breathing method.
But unfortunately, the blood breathing method seems to be isolated from him.
"It seems that I can only go back to the branch to exchange for the excellent level of breathing method to try." Ryan thought to himself.
The next morning, the sky was just turning white, and there were still dew on the lush leaves in the garden.
Ryan had already ridden on the trotting wildebeest, Blacky, and beside him were Claire and the others who were seeing him off.
Langer and the other two had already returned to the Nome Province before Ryan.
"Ryan, if you have anything else to do in Meist, you can contact me directly. I should be in Meist for the next one or two months."
Claire said, looking at Ryan with her beautiful eyes.
If it weren't for Ryan, the hundreds of years of heritage of the Habsburg family would have been destroyed in the face of the situation that Meist was facing this time.
Especially in the end, the killer of the Black Flame Cult was to resurrect an epic warrior from ancient times.
If Ryan hadn't resisted the other party, then even if His Royal Highness the Dragon Knight Menia could quickly come to the rescue, I'm afraid that when the other party arrived, they would only be able to collect the bodies of the Habsburg family.
"Well, there is one thing. I wanted to take some time to go there myself."
"Claire, the family of Lord Hamilton, the sheriff of Goldshire, who died, should be in the county town. I hope you can help take care of them."
"Of course, no problem, Shadiya, help me find out where Hamilton's widow lives. I will go there myself."
Claire turned her head and said to the head maid beside her.
"Okay, Miss Claire." The head maid bowed slightly and responded.
After saying goodbye, Ryan's figure gradually disappeared at the end of the road.
The head maid felt disappointed about Ryan's departure and said, "Miss, why don't you let Lord Ryan stay?"
"It can be seen that you still have a good impression of Lord Ryan, and Lord Ryan also likes you very much."
Claire shook her head, her face slightly red, but she did not deny it, and said:
"It's not appropriate now. There are still things about my father and the family in Meister, I have to deal with them first."
"Besides, I'm about to awaken!"
"What, you...you are going to awaken?" The head maid covered her mouth lightly, her eyes widened.
As Claire's personal maid since childhood, Shadiya naturally knows more than others.
As a blood noble family, the Habsburg family has insufficient blood purity of its descendants, so not everyone can awaken in each generation.
For example, in the previous generation, that is, Claire's father's generation, no one could awaken the blood talent.
-
On the military airship.
Ryan frowned slightly when he saw the wounded coming and going.
These wounded soldiers are usually quite strong, either regular knights or senior knights. Judging from their shoulder straps, they are at least captains or majors, but they are basically missing arms and legs.
There are also several seriously injured soldiers whose lower bodies were cut off by some huge force. They survived by chance and were about to be transported to the rear for treatment.
"Logically speaking, with the Imperial Guardians like His Royal Highness the Dragon Knight Menia taking action, the front line of the battlefield should be unstoppable."
"Why does it look like there are still so many casualties?"
Ryan was about to stop a colonel in charge of transporting the wounded to ask, when suddenly, he saw a familiar figure appear on the airship.
He immediately changed his mind and walked forward and said, "You are from the Velociraptor Team."
"Hey, it's Sir Ryan! I didn't expect to meet you here. My name is Odins." The Velociraptor Team member named Odins was surprised to see Ryan and greeted him enthusiastically.
Odins was one of the people that Ryan rescued in the Blood Curse Naga Cave that time, and he belonged to the Earthshaker 'Velociraptor' team.
"Odins, is it convenient for you to chat for a while?" It's naturally better to meet someone familiar, Ryan said with a smile.
"Of course."
The two of them then came to Ryan's independent cabin.
"Is the battle on the front line of Fishing Port Town still fierce? Hasn't Her Royal Highness the Red Queen Menia already taken action?" Ryan asked while brewing Yotun black tea.
"Huh? Sir Ryan, how did you know this? This is confidential information." Odins said with surprise.
But as if he immediately thought of something, Odins said:
"Yes, the movement that day was too loud, most people on the front line saw it, and it is normal for some to spread it."
"That day?"
"Yes, Lord Ryan, didn't you see the light column that day?" Odins looked puzzled, as if the information channel of Lord Ryan opposite him was different from what he guessed.
"Is it His Royal Highness Menia fighting the enemy?"
"This." Odins looked embarrassed.
Ryan immediately understood that this should be confidential information. According to regulations, Odins could not disclose it.
However, Ryan thought about it, and took out a red dragon scale that was slightly larger than an adult's palm from his arms, showed it, and said: "This is the red dragon scale that His Royal Highness Menia gave me, so..."
"What!" Odins' eyes widened and he was shocked.
He was still hesitating whether to violate the regulations and tell Lord Ryan who rescued him some confidential information.
But when he saw the red dragon scale, Odins knew that his worries and hesitations were unnecessary.
Immediately, he told Ryan the whole situation:
"The Forbidden Gate. It was opened by the sea clan and the Poseidon Cult. The three-headed sea dragon with a devil's tail was said to be a divine creature. Her Highness 'Red Queen' Menia failed to kill it, allowing it to escape to the deep sea."
"Sir Ryan, you know the Forbidden Gate, right? It is said that the ancient human kingdoms and orthodox churches sealed some difficult-to-eliminate evils in it."
Ryan nodded, frowning.
"So the forbidden door is behind the three-headed sea dragon with a demonic tail"
"Yes, Lord Ryan, you didn't see its might, it's too terrifying!"
"It's a huge body of thirty or forty meters tall, stirring up huge waves. Facing the three-headed sea dragon with a demonic tail, I, a great knight, feel trembling all over, not to mention other ordinary soldiers."
"At that time, I happened to be at the scene. The 'Red Queen' used a holy weapon to severely injure the opponent, which turned the tide."
"Odins, are there many of these forbidden doors within the empire's territory?"
"I'm not sure about this, but this kind of information should be top secret in the empire."
Ryan nodded, it should be so.
It is estimated that the head of the Munster Sword Bearer Branch, Admiral Edward, may not know this kind of information, let alone Odins.
He was too anxious.
After Odins left, Ryan crossed his arms and paced back and forth in the cabin.
"Why does this world feel more and more dangerous?"
"Or has it always been this dangerous, but I just didn't have the channels to understand it because my level was too low before?"
"The forbidden door? Could this ancient hero Monger also be opened and rescued by the Black Flame Church from this kind of door?"
"And... there are divine creatures! Those with the word God in their names are probably not easy to mess with, and they should be much stronger than the ancient hero Monger."
After thinking for a long time, Ryan sighed.
Since he changed his job to Warhammer Wizard, Ryan was secretly happy about the progress he had just made.
In addition, with the support of the Empire, Ryan felt that he had the power to protect himself in this extraordinary world.
But now it seems that
his strength is still not strong enough!
The strength of Her Highness Menia, the 'Red Queen', is unfathomable, and Ryan experienced it personally that day.
But even the opponent couldn't take down the magic tail three-headed sea dragon that had been sealed for a long time and had greatly damaged its strength, which can be inferred from the enemy's strength.
"No wonder the front line can only gain a certain advantage, but cannot completely eliminate or expel the enemy."
At this time, a system prompt came quietly:
[Congratulations! Your physical attributes have been improved! ]
"Huh?"
"The effect of the fused breathing method is so obvious?" Ryan raised his eyebrows and said.
He opened the attribute panel and took a look:
Physical: 45
Strength: 46
Agility: 45
Spirit: 55
Will (hidden attribute): 2
"Yes, the original Bear King Breathing Method can barely be considered as an excellent level. After all, it is an improvement from the ordinary Giant Bear Breathing Method and the Internal Breathing Method, and the movements are only seven."
"And the current Fire Bear Breathing Method has 24 movements."
"Even for my current senior knight-level body, there is a strong benefit effect."
Ryan could feel the continuous slight heat in the small muscle groups such as his calf and waist.
It was as if something was slowly nourishing those small muscle groups and fascia.
I remember that this feeling was most obvious after he got up this morning and practiced all 24 movements.
"Waist slightly hot?"
"Waist is fine, kidney is fine too? So your physique has improved?"
In addition, Ryan seemed to have a feeling that his sensitivity to the surrounding flame energy particles had become slightly stronger.
But this change was very slight.
If he had not used the spirit of a formal wizard, he really could not feel this change.
But he was not sure whether it was the natural increase in the concentration of surrounding energy particles, which Claire had mentioned to him.
If measured with a numerical value, it would be a change in decimal places.
This made Ryan think about it.
"In the knight stage, the giant bear breathing method combined with the advanced potion of the Iron Mane Bear King finally made the body evolve, or mutate, so that I have extraordinary characteristics."
"Then, as I advanced to the Great Knight, the extraordinary characteristics were strengthened again and became a talent."
"It seems."
As he thought about it, Ryan seemed to have grasped a thread.
"The breathing method mainly changes a person's physical fitness."
"At the same time, there is also a small chance that a person will undergo a certain mutation, giving him extraordinary characteristics."
"For ordinary people, this process ends."
"But because I have a system, I further expanded this mutation and turned it into a talent!"
"So, that is to say, if I..."
Thinking of this, Ryan's eyes sparkled.
Not long after, the military airship arrived in Munster after several hours of flight.
Since he was carrying the trotting wildebeest and the greyhound war dog, Ryan naturally went back home first.
His mother Emma, his father Old Ryan and his sister Mint were all there, but Jennifer and Jenny were not.
After asking a little, Ryan learned that they had gone to expand new trade.
The reason is that the situation in Meister is turbulent. The overseas routes that originally stopped at the fishing port town have been completely cut off due to the increasingly fierce battle between the empire and the sea tribe.
Therefore, the newly established Chamber of Commerce has just made its first pot of gold and is almost dead.
The Chamber of Commerce supports many people, and it is definitely not okay to eat up all the resources.
Ryan nodded, his heart sank slightly.
He didn't stay for long. After saying hello to his family, he quickly came to the Sword Bearer Branch.
After thinking about it, Ryan thought he should go to the mission hall first.
One is to hand in the task, and the other is to meet with Olena and ask when Admiral Edward is free.
However, when Ryan came to the mission hall, he found that there seemed to be a lot more people here than usual.
It seems that some of them are still unfamiliar faces, which makes him a little curious.
So lively? It
's a bit rare.
But if you queue up, it will probably waste half an hour.
After a moment's thought, Ryan walked to the service desk and said to a girl in uniform, "Is Deputy Minister Olena here?"
"Yes, but, sir, Deputy Minister Olena is busy these two days and may not have time to receive you."
"Tell Ms. Olena that Ryan is back."
"This." The female staff member looked embarrassed.
Doesn't this sword-wielding lady understand what he said?
He had said tactfully that Lady Olena was very busy.
"Why aren't you going yet?" Ryan looked at her in surprise.
Ryan's glance made the female staff member feel a sense of pressure, and she immediately said,
"Okay, sir, I'll go and report now, but Deputy Minister Olena may not have time, you can rest on the sofa first."
"Well."
After a while, Ryan saw the capable young woman Olena, "thump thump thump" quickly walked out of the office and waved to Ryan very enthusiastically.
The female staff member who went to report looked at this scene in surprise.
Her boss had specifically told her not to let anyone disturb her early in the morning, but now
, why did her boss look so flattering?
This was the first time she had seen it!
In Olena's office.
"Sir Ryan, I didn't expect you to come back a day later than me." Olena said with a smile.
"Yes, Sir Olena, I want to hand in a few tasks this time." Ryan said, and took out the gold-level sword bearer emblem from his arms.
"Of course, you go and settle all three tasks of Sir Ryan." Olena turned her head and said to the young female staff member beside her.
"Oh, okay, Sir Olena." The female staff member respectfully took Ryan's emblem and left quickly.
When she put the emblem into the card slot, the tasks refreshed on the wisdom slate, which instantly made her eyes widen and her mouth slightly open.
"Completed five gold-level tasks."
"No, one of them is a diamond-level task!"
The pretty female clerk checked the tasks line by line in amazement:
"Killing Galina is a one-star gold task!"
"Investigating the Golem Guard is a two-star gold task, no, it's been upgraded to three stars!"
"Killing the 'Blood Burner' Laxul, also upgraded to three and a half stars!"
"Protecting the Governor of Meister County City, one-star gold!"
"Investigating the truth behind the Meister attack, diamond star, and three diamond stars!!" "
Oh my God!"
She finally understood why her boss Olena had an expression that was almost respectful and flattering when she saw the young man again.
This... Mr. Ryan is really amazing!
