Chapter 294: The Battle of Evil Spirits (Two chapters in one)
Ryan did not leave his mansion too far.
The reason why he left the mansion and went to check was mainly because he considered that the two strange little boys he had just killed might be two clones of a certain evil spirit.
If the other party came to seek revenge on him, Ryan did not want his family to suffer.
Otherwise, Ryan's first choice would naturally be to protect his family's safety first.
In fact, this also reflects the lack of foundation of the Ryan family. However,
during
the day, Vieri took the initiative to ask to become Ryan's follower.
If Vieri helped to protect the safety of the mansion, Ryan would naturally be more carefree.
At the same time.
In the magnificent and magnificent prayer hall of the Temple of the Goddess of Munster.
Archbishop Gomez looked up into the distance with a frown.
After thinking for a while, he turned to a knight who was carrying a bright silver two-handed warhammer and said,
"This breath is ancient and evil. It is likely to be some evil spirit. The city guards and the night watchmen should not be able to deal with it. Brandul, you should go."
"Yes, Archbishop Gomes." The punishment knight named Brandul immediately bowed and led a team of Templar Knights out of the prayer hall.
Because it was late at night, with Brandul's departure, there were fewer people in the prayer hall, leaving only a few Templar Knights guarding.
But after a while.
Suddenly, Archbishop Gomes turned around and stared at the corner of the prayer hall. The wrinkles between his eyebrows deepened.
"Who is there?"
"As expected of an archbishop, your perception is really sharp. It's just that this place really disgusts me. I feel uncomfortable all over!" As the low voice sounded, a black shadow appeared.
"Who!" The four Templar Knights were shocked and angry, and immediately drew their knight swords and rushed towards the black shadow.
But the next second, four huge black mist hands suddenly appeared from the side and grabbed several Templar Knights, just like grabbing a chicken!
For a moment, the four were suspended in the air and wrapped by the black mist hands. Their faces were red and they struggled hard.
"I wanted to talk to you for a few more words, but Your Excellency the Archbishop, I'm sorry, we have to hurry up, so we can only send you to see your goddess as soon as possible." The shadow joked.
At this time, Archbishop Gomez turned his head to his left again, and saw another black-robed man appeared there. It was the other party who performed the shadow hand.
If Ryan was at the scene, he would be able to recognize at a glance that the other party was Freeman of the Black Flame Cult.
Then the other one was actually about to come out.
"You two, don't you take the Goddess Church too seriously?"
Archbishop Gomez only heard a brief chant!
Then, he raised his finger, and four light blue beams shot out continuously, immediately defeating the shadow hand that trapped the Templar Knights.
But this was not the end. Archbishop Gomez chanted the spell again.
At his location, a blue light shone, and the whole person was wrapped in an egg-shaped energy shield.
"Second-level divine spell 'Blessing Shield'? It's really difficult."
Freeman and Burriges looked at each other, and simultaneously fired a wave of 'Shadow Shock' towards Archbishop Gomez!
Suddenly, two bowl-thick black energy light columns and Archbishop Gomez's divine spells had a fierce confrontation!
Although Freeman and the other two were very powerful, they were still unable to defeat Archbishop Gomez, who was even stronger than them, in the prayer hall of the temple.
The two of them joined forces, but only made the blue shield on Archbishop Gomez's body shake slightly, and then stabilized again.
Suddenly, a black spiral light column flashed across the hall!
Gomez, who was concentrating on fighting Freeman and Burriges, two masters of the Black Flame Cult, felt a sharp pain in his chest!
He looked down and his eyes suddenly showed an unbelievable look!
I saw that a fist-sized hole had been opened in his chest by something.
At this time, Exter walked out calmly with a smile on his face, saying, "Archbishop Gomes, I'm sorry."
"Just now, your witchcraft was." Archbishop Gomes said with a pale face.
"Yes, the third-level shadow witchcraft 'Shadow Light Killing Cannon'." Exter nodded. The
power that can break the second-level divine magic with one blow is naturally a higher-level power.
If Exter had not been promoted to a crystallized wizard, it would naturally be impossible to kill Gomes, the archbishop of the Goddess Church, with one blow.
Even if it was a sneak attack.
But after entering the crystallized wizard, it was different.
The sudden attack of the third-level single witchcraft created a one-hit kill effect. Of course, the effect of Freeman and the other two people's containment in front was indispensable.
The next second!
Archbishop Gomes' body began to decay in some way, and the shadow energy quickly spread throughout his body. He was seen shaking, and he could no longer support himself and fell down!
"Sir, your 'Shadow Light Killing Cannon' is really amazing." Berrigs stepped forward at the right time, smiling and praising.
"Okay, quickly destroy the defense formation, and we will leave immediately."
"After all, this is the provincial center of Munster, and there are many strong people." Exter urged.
In order to resist various enemies, the huge city of Munster has set up multiple defense formations, and the core of the formation related to resisting evil energy is set up in the Goddess Temple.
Exter had planned it a few days ago.
Using the evil spirit in the painting of "Gazing Eyes" to launch an attack, it will inevitably attract the attention of the Goddess Church. When the formation cannot be suppressed, the Goddess Church will inevitably send elite forces to deal with it.
And this is the best time for them to take action!
Now, everything is developing according to his plan.
Because once the core of the formation in the Goddess Church is destroyed, it is basically impossible to repair it in a short time.
Then, Exter's big plan on the day of the official awarding ceremony in Munster can be successfully realized.
——Ryan
stood on the street and looked up.
At this time, he could clearly see that the strange shadow of the little boy hundreds of meters away was growing rapidly.
At the same time, the originally transparent evil spirit body has become more and more condensed, and the terrifying aura it exudes is getting stronger and stronger.
At this moment, even if they are not wizards with super perception like Ryan, ordinary night watchmen and city guards can see the other party's appearance clearly.
This can be seen from the horrified faces.
In less than a minute, the other party's height soared to about five meters.
What made people feel extremely uncomfortable was that the other party was like a giant, but still maintained the shape of a little boy. The girl doll in his hand was about three meters tall at this moment.
At this time, the little boy evil spirit seemed to be impressed by Ryan, who killed its two clones.
I saw the other party slowly turned around and looked at Ryan.
A huge pressure fell on Ryan with the other party's dark eyes.
In an instant, even though he was hundreds of meters away, Ryan could still feel an invisible and heavy pressure coming at him!
With Ryan's attention, the glowing long sword in his hand shone brightly.
I saw him wave lightly, as if a bubble was cut, and something invisible was cut open by a sword.
The pressure suddenly disappeared!
This made the giant evil spirit even more angry. I saw it walking towards Ryan quickly, four or five meters in a step.
At this time, people who were awakened by the powerful and terrifying momentum opened the window and looked out the window. When they saw the huge and weird shadow of the little boy, they couldn't help but scream in fear.
"Monster! Monster!"
When the evil spirit saw these terrified ordinary people, it took a deep breath.
These ordinary people who were originally terrified fainted and fell to the ground!
The next second, a transparent shadow appeared on the fallen body, and then the shadow representing the soul was sucked by some powerful force, like a dragon sucking water, and rushed towards the open mouth of the little boy.
"Slurp! Slurp!"
Just like eating noodles, all were swallowed into the stomach of the little boy's evil spirit.
"Disperse!"
At this time, Brandor had already arrived with a team of Templar Knights. Seeing this scene, he looked annoyed.
He pulled out the silver-white warhammer behind him and rushed towards the little boy's evil spirit quickly.
"Hammer of Punishment!"
The silver-white warhammer in his hand suddenly emitted a deep blue light, and a giant hammer shadow several meters long flew directly from the warhammer and hit the giant evil spirit.
But the little boy's evil spirit quickly blocked the hammer with the girl doll in his hand!
Although the shadow of the female doll dimmed a lot after being hit by the hammer, the next second, an invisible shock wave roared out from the opponent's mouth!
Ordinary people within a hundred meters fainted!
Even the elite Night Watchmen and City Guards were no exception.
Many official knights and wizard apprentices nearby also covered their ears with their hands, looking inexplicably painful.
"Banshee's Howl!" Branduer frowned.
The Punishment Knight Branduer muttered something.
From the top of the Goddess Temple hundreds of meters away, a blue beam of light as thick as a bucket suddenly shot out and poured directly onto Branduer's two-handed warhammer. The shadow of the warhammer expanded by more than three times.
The huge shadow of the warhammer immediately hit the center of the giant evil spirit's body, and after this heavy blow, a big hole was broken in the evil spirit's chest.
Then, with Branduer as the center, the ground within a diameter of tens of meters began to emit a faint blue light.
As soon as the giant evil spirit touched it, the place where its body touched showed traces of burning, and a sizzling sound like sulfuric acid corrosion.
The ordinary-sized little boy's clones rushed in from all directions, and as soon as they entered this area, they melted quickly like candles.
At this time, many great knights and wizards came from all directions, some from the Sword Bearer Branch, some from the Duke of Munster's Mansion, and some from the departments and institutions of the administrative district.
The crowd began to gradually surround the giant evil spirit.
This made the giant evil spirit, which was having difficulty recovering, seem to give up the idea of continuing to fight, but turned around and rushed towards Ryan quickly, as if intending to kill Ryan before evacuating.
Perhaps because there was no interference from Ryan, it could be discovered later.
"Be careful, get out of the way!" Branduer did not know Ryan, and seeing that Ryan was dressed like a great knight, he could not help but remind him loudly.
With the metal transformation, the thing in Ryan's hand began to grow larger.
The hardened adamantine and demonized thorium in his hand began to quickly form a war hammer, and the outside was covered with pyroxene.
In an instant, a huge two-handed warhammer appeared in Ryan's hands.
"Hammer of Annihilation!"
Ryan jumped high, rushed forward, swung the huge warhammer from top to bottom, and smashed heavily on the equally huge little boy evil spirit!
The next second! Time seemed to freeze!
Everyone looked sideways!
The huge evil spirit, nearly five meters high, turned into grains of sand like weathered rocks and drifted away with the wind!
"Such power!" Even Branduer was surprised.
When did such a strong man with a hammer come to Munster?
Just as he was about to go up and talk, a Templar Knight quickly reported:
"Lord Branduer, the source of the evil spirit seems to be over there at the exhibition."
This made Branduer temporarily give up the idea of talking to Ryan. He nodded at Ryan and left quickly with the Templar Knight.
If the source of the evil spirit is not dealt with, it may erupt again in the future!
"Branduer?"
"I seem to have heard of this name."
Immediately, Ryan's face showed a look of enlightenment!
He remembered that Bishop Meistersheen had given him a letter of introduction, which said that he should contact the hammer master of the Goddess Church, whose name was Branduer.
"Seems to be a rare Punishment Knight!"
"Very strong in combat."
"Especially for dealing with this kind of evil spirit, very targeted."
Ryan did not intend to go to the exhibition, but after a short pause, he walked back to the mansion to ensure the safety of his family.
At this time, Ryan looked at the system prompt:
[Congratulations, you defeated the powerful enemy and obtained 4 gold skill points! ]
[Congratulations, your Will (hidden) attribute has been upgraded! ]
[Congratulations, your Warhammer Wizard (Legend) occupation level has been upgraded! ]
The Warhammer Wizard (Legend) occupation level, which was about to be upgraded, has been upgraded again this time, reaching level 7 (1421/5000), and the skill points and attribute points have increased by 1 point each.
Adding his original remaining points, Ryan now has 6 remaining attribute points, 6 remaining skill points, and 9 gold skill points.
"Will has been upgraded by 1 point again?"
"This is a pleasant surprise."
Ryan had just had a vague understanding of the evil spirit's force field, but he didn't expect that the hidden attribute of will would reach 3 points so quickly. It can be regarded
as meeting the requirements of the primary annihilation force field, and the will attribute needs to reach 3 points.
The next morning, after Ryan got up, he looked out through the second-floor window and saw that the number of security guards and city guards on the street had increased several times compared to before.
Although he was a little confused, it stands to reason that the incident last night was handled very quickly, and some injured ordinary people could be comforted. After all, so many people patrolling would make the people uneasy.
Ryan shook his head, maybe the Duke of Munster was furious. After all,
more than a hundred people were killed and injured last night, plus those who were possessed by evil spirits early in the morning, I don’t know how many people can survive.
After breakfast, Ryan said goodbye to his family and returned to the Sword Bearer Branch not far away. After
sorting out the things in the dormitory, Ryan took the blue and white war hammer and planned to set off for a trip to the Goddess Church.
He planned to let the church check this weapon by the way.
After all, if there is a specific weapon, it is easier to trace the origin of the "Ancient Hero Monger".
At the same time, Ryan also wanted to know if there is a way for him to use this war hammer freely.
At present, it is still the same. Ryan held the war hammer in his hand. The war hammer seemed to have its own consciousness, and there was an obvious sense of rejection, and it was impossible to use it freely.
"Dong Dong Dong"
At this time, a slightly hurried knock on the door sounded.
Huh? Who came to see him so early?
Vieri?
Ryan opened the door and found that it was actually the Deputy Minister of Affairs Olena, but at this time, the other party should have just started work.
"Sir Olena, so early? Please come in, what happened?" Ryan saw Olena's serious face and knew that something must have happened.
Could it be that there is a follow-up to the evil spirit incident last night?
"Yes, Sir Ryan, Archbishop Gomes was assassinated." Olena's first words after entering the door made Ryan stiffen.
"When did it happen?" Ryan's face sank.
He also planned to go to the church now and let Archbishop Gomes judge whether the mark on his body can be successfully removed.
But only one day later, he heard the news of the other party's death!
This made Ryan's heart shrouded in a cloud.
"Just last night, when the giant evil spirit incident happened, Archbishop Gomes should have been assassinated at that time."
"Who did it? Have you investigated?" Ryan asked.
"From the traces of the attack, the opponent should be a legendary shadow master, a third-level crystal wizard."
"But even if he is a legendary master, Archbishop Gomez should not be killed so easily by the opponent, right?" Ryan couldn't help wondering.
He also had a slight understanding of the strength of the archbishop in charge of a provincial affairs of the Goddess Church.
It is said that although Archbishop Gomez has not yet entered the legendary stage, he has been in the quasi-legendary stage for many years.
Moreover, the assassination took place in the temple. Logically, even a legendary master should not get any benefits.
"The opponent does not seem to be one person. Judging from the on-site investigation of the prayer hall after the incident, there are at least three different people's footprints, and the residual breath also confirms this."
Olena explained.
"Three against one?" Ryan nodded.
I see.
This makes much more sense.
"The opponent has such a good grasp of the timing. Could it be that the evil spirit in the gallery was also created by the opponent?" Ryan suddenly thought of something and looked up at Olena and asked.
"Sir Ryan, you are really wise."
"That's true. Judging from the remaining aura, it can be basically determined that it was done by the Black Flame Cult." The capable young woman Olena looked at Ryan with appreciation.
"By the way, this time the other party not only assassinated Archbishop Gomes, but also destroyed the core of Munster's defense formation."
"Is it the formation that integrates multiple functions such as detecting evil and exorcising evil?" Ryan asked.
"Yes, Sir Ryan."
This made Ryan have a bad premonition in his heart.
He saw clearly yesterday that with the blessing of the formation, the combat effectiveness of the Punishment Knight XX when fighting against evil spirits increased by at least 50%.
Moreover, the formation further restricted the evil spirits from invading the noble district and the administrative district.
Now that the formation has been destroyed, it means that whether it is the noble district, the church district, or the administrative district, the defense is greatly weakened, just like the upper city and the civilian district.
"The main purpose of coming to you this time is that Admiral Edward asked me to tell you that he will ask the Imperial Guardian to help you remove your mark."
"However, this may take some time, and it is likely that I will have to go to the Imperial Capital."
"Okay, Your Excellency Olena, please tell Admiral Edward for me that I thank him for remembering me in his busy schedule." Ryan nodded.
After Olena left, Ryan put the blue and white warhammer back into the cupboard, and at the same time, he crossed his arms and thought in the room.
"The Black Flame Cult, are they demonstrating against the failure of the operation in Mayster County?"
"No, it should be more than that."
"Because if they were just demonstrating, they should have come to me for revenge instead of killing an archbishop of the Goddess Church."
"This behavior seems to have some special purpose."
This made Ryan's heart sink.
"Is Minster not so safe as a provincial capital?"
"I really don't know what the upper echelons of the empire think. Since there are powerful dragon knights like His Highness Menia, these cults should be easy to wipe out, right?"
"Why let them do whatever they want? It seems that some things need to be accelerated." Ryan shook his head slightly.
"Always ensure the safety of yourself and your family."
"It seems that it is a good thing to let Vieri, Angus, Neoro and others join the team. They should be able to help with some things that I can't handle."
Half an hour later, in Ryan's room.
Ryan made a cup of Yoton black tea for Neoro and put it on the coffee table.
"Neoro, I need to trouble you with something. You have been in Munster for many years. Do you know where there are inscription masters? If there are any familiar inscription masters, can you introduce them to me?"
Ryan said straight to the point.
Neoro looked at Ryan with a strange look and said, "Sir Ryan, do you want to learn inscription, or do you have items related to inscriptions that need to be identified or made?"
"I want to learn inscriptions."
"If it's just for beginners, maybe I can help?" Neoro smiled and said.
"Hmm? Neoro, you can do inscriptions?" Ryan was a little surprised.
"Well, it's considered an intermediate inscription master. Sir Ryan, you may not have paid much attention to it. One of the foundations of scroll making is to master certain inscription skills." Neoro said with a smile.
"That's great, can you teach me now?"
"Hmm? Now?" Neoro was stunned, but the next second, he laughed heartily.
"Of course! I think I know why you are so strong, Lord Ryan. You do it as soon as you think of it, and never procrastinate. It's a very good habit."
Facing Neoro's praise, Ryan smiled and didn't explain anything.
He saw Neoro took out a diary and explained:
"This is the pattern of a primary defense inscription. It is also the first inscription that most wizard apprentices learn when they come into contact with inscriptions."
Ryan looked at it and nodded.
Primary inscription?
The complexity is basically the same as that of the 'Secret Silver Carved Plate Armor', but he can tell that the two inscriptions are not the same.
It seems that the inscriptions on the 'Secret Silver Carved Plate Armor' should also be some kind of primary inscription, which is not too difficult.
"Lord Ryan, I wonder if you have learned to draw a witch array?"
"Witch array? I have learned a little bit, and it needs to be drawn with special ink." Ryan thought about it and nodded.
He recalled the days when he and the twin-tailed girl Veronica learned the witch array.
"That's great. In fact, there are many similarities between learning inscriptions and drawing witch formations. For example, both require drawing, one uses special ink, and the other uses mental power to engrave."
"There is also the concept of nodes."
About half an hour later, as Neoro continued,
Ryan's eyebrows slightly raised, because the system prompt sounded:
[You have studied inscriptions, and your understanding of them has improved! ]
[You have learned a new skill - primary defensive inscriptions]
[Your skill primary defensive inscriptions have been improved, and your experience value is +1]
Just when Ryan thought that was it, the system prompt sounded again:
[Ding! The host has been detected to have touched the inscription, triggering a job change - Great Armorsmith (Extraordinary)! ]
[The prerequisites for an armorsmith to be promoted to a great armorsmith are: 1. Armorsmith level 5 or above; 2. Strength 15 points or more, physique 15 points or more, and spirit 18 points or more; 3. Independently forge any ten qualified inscribed plate armor parts; 4. Master the knowledge related to inscriptions. The current conditions do not meet the requirements! Failed to be promoted to a great armorsmith! ]
Ryan was slightly startled, but his expression quickly returned to normal.
Sure enough, he had previously judged through the 'Secret Silver Carved Plate Armor' that the follow-up of the Armorsmith was likely to be related to the inscription.
This point has now been confirmed.
But Ryan did not expect that the subsequent job change would come so quickly!
Great Armorsmith
In addition, although there is only one more word 'Great', the Great Armorsmith is an extraordinary profession.
The current failure to change jobs is only due to the failure to meet the third condition 'Forge ten inscription parts.'
In other words, as long as you forge the 'Secret Silver Carved Plate Armor', it means that you can change to the Great Armorsmith (Extraordinary) at any time.
-
Munster.
In the VIP suite of the Axon Auction House.
After waiting for two days, Drake finally received a reply from his brother, Marquis Orenz.
Just a rough glance at it surprised him!
The letter read:
"The plan has changed. Something big is about to happen in the empire. The Bloodscalp Mercenaries are on their way."
"According to the divination by the great fortune teller Eugenie Ribeiro, the Ancient Troll Fangs are indeed no longer in existence."
"But the divination results also show that Ryan seems to have used the Ancient Troll Fangs on himself in some way, which makes his heart blood have the same effect as the Ancient Troll Essence Blood."
