Chapter 300 Aftermath and Inspiration (Two chapters in one)
At this time, Neoro, who was standing on the city wall, heard the rhythmic footsteps behind him. He turned around and saw a city guard of hundreds of people approaching quickly from the rear.
Obviously, they also heard the movement outside the city, and they thought that the city wall was attacked by some monster.
And a griffin knight in the sky, after seeing Ryan clearly in the heavy rain, quickly circled down from the sky.
This griffin knight was Fisher.
Fisher, who got off the griffin, stepped forward quickly and apologized to Ryan:
"Sir Ryan, do you still remember me? When you were in Meister, you fought against the ancient hero Monger of the cult, and I was with Lord Viscount Felke at that time."
"I'm really sorry for mistaking you just now."
Ryan thought about it and suddenly realized!
He remembered this Fisher, the young griffin knight who reported the news.
"Hello, Fisher, I remember you. The view was not good just now, and you are doing your duty, so don't take it to heart."
"Thank you, Lord Ryan." Fisher bowed and said with a little excitement.
Seeing this scene, Neoro and Angus looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
This griffin knight is interesting.
Why do you look at your captain as if you have seen an idol.
"By the way, Lord Ryan, do you want to take my griffin back to the city first?"
Ryan, who was worried about his family, thought about it, nodded, and said, "Okay! Thank you. But... wait a moment, I will say hello to my companions." "
Well, of course."
When Neoro and Angus saw Ryan, Ryan naturally also found the two people on the city wall.
Soon, the three met under the city wall.
"Why are you here? You have worked hard." Ryan stepped forward and thanked with a smile.
"Captain, you are being polite! Your business is our business." Angus has always been a military style and speaks more straightforwardly.
"Tsk, this is the second-level liquefied wizard, and it is said that he is a rare lava wizard?" Angus walked around the Asimov in Ryan's hand, and was amazed.
Although he did not see the battle between his captain Ryan and the other party, he knew how fierce the battle between the two was just now by looking at the potholes and messy ground at the scene, as well as the huge humanoid rock kneeling on the ground.
"Well, it was a very difficult guy, but I finally killed him." Ryan looked at the Asimov in his hand and said.
At this time, there was a cry of an eagle in the sky, and then a blue and white bird of prey circled down from the sky, but there was a crystal stone flashing with red light on its claws, which was quite eye-catching.
When Ryan took the red crystal stone that looked like a heart from Blood Feather's claws, Neoro's eyes widened and he couldn't help but exclaimed:
"Captain, this... Is this the Heart of Lava?"
"The Heart of Lava? I don't know what this is, but this thing can enhance the strength of the other party's summons, so it should be quite precious." Ryan looked at the hot red crystal stone in his hand and shook his head.
"That's it, this is the treasure that is occasionally bred in the legendary flame or lava elemental organisms - the Heart of Lava." Neoro said excitedly.
"Captain, can I take a look?"
"Of course." Ryan handed it to Neoro.
Neoro observed it carefully and said, "Captain, this is the Heart of Lava. You just said that the other party used this to strengthen it."
Suddenly thinking of something, Neoro looked at the solidified stone statue kneeling on the ground with horror.
Huh?
Angus on the side saw Neoro's shocked expression and was a little confused.
"Doesn't that mean that the opponent's lava monster has reached a power close to that of a legend!" Neoro muttered to himself.
Legend?
Angus' eyes widened, and he was also shocked.
Has the strength of his captain reached this level?
"By the way, how is the mansion?" Ryan asked.
"Captain, Vieri and Evelyn are both guarding the mansion, so there should be no problem with safety." Neoro said.
"Well, I'll take the griffin and go first. Please tell the city guards about the situation here." Ryan nodded.
When Ryan returned to the mansion again, the mansion was already full of people.
The outermost circle was a circle of elite night watchmen responsible for vigilance, and a little further in were the sword-bearing guards who came after hearing the news.
And the innermost was the sheriff of the Munster Administrative District, a captain among the sword-bearing guards, and a priest from the Goddess Church, whom Ryan did not know.
Obviously, the recent assassination of Archbishop Gomes has made the top leaders of the province of Munster and the church pay great attention to the attack that just happened.
When Ryan's family saw Ryan coming back, they also came out under the protection of Vieri and Evelyn, but the panic in their eyes could not be concealed.
Especially Ryan's mother Emma and father Ryan, this was the first time they saw their son fighting up close.
The inhuman speed and strength, powerful destructive power, and magical witchcraft shocked the two.
The familiar yard was now in a mess. The ground was still steaming in the rain and emitting scorching heat.
This made the two elders unable to hide their worries about their son.
And the beautiful woman Jennifer actually saw Ryan fighting with an evenly matched opponent for the first time after he entered the Great Knight.
Although Ryan also taught two knights of his family a lesson when he served as the guardian knight of the Crowley family, in comparison, it was like a child's play.
The beautiful woman looked at the scene in front of her, and she was more and more sure of her choice of Ryan as a support. She
even felt very fortunate.
Because from the strength Ryan has shown so far, it has far exceeded her imagination.
Jennifer couldn't imagine how far Ryan could go in the future!
In addition, if it were Ryan's current strength level, it would be unlikely for her to have any intersection with Ryan again.
In the current turbulent situation of the empire, strength is the best guarantee!
It is fortunate that she can rely on such a powerful person who is still making rapid progress. The
same idea lingered in the minds of Jenny and Agatha.
But her younger sister Mint has always been extremely confident in her brother, but the scene in the yard at this moment also surprised her!
At this moment, she was blinking her eyes and looking around.
After Lei comforted his family, he asked Evelyn and Vieri to settle their families and go to rest first.
And he simply told everyone about the situation.
Olena, who was on duty at the Sword Bearer Division that night, also rushed over after learning about the situation here.
She was quite familiar with the whole thing.
Because Ryan had approached Olena from the beginning and wanted her to help contact the intelligence department, so the first thing she said after seeing Ryan was safe was:
"Sir Ryan, let the division handle the follow-up matters."
"I think no matter who is behind the attack, this is already a provocation to our Munster Sword Bearer Division. I will report this matter to Admiral Edward immediately."
Although Olena did not name who was responsible for the attack.
But, those who understand will understand!
Ryan smiled at the capable young woman and said, "Sir Olena, then I'll trouble you with the next matter."
"Sir Ryan, these two people should be detained in the special cell of the Sword Bearer Division. I'm worried that the defense force of the cell of the public security department may still be slightly insufficient."
Olena pointed at the two people, "Iron Man" and "Scorpion Woman".
"Okay, if you can save him, he can be considered a witness." Ryan nodded.
"This guy is hopeless, but he can be considered evidence." Ryan pointed at Asimov, who was killed by him, and said.
"Okay, Sir Ryan." Olena looked at Asimov's body, nodded, and said.
It was the first time she knew that witnesses and evidence were distinguished in this way.
The sheriff on the side muttered twice, looked at Olena and Ryan, and said nothing.
"By the way, where did this guy's right arm go just now?"
Vieri was stunned when he heard Ryan's question, and immediately turned around and walked into the room.
"Captain, are you talking about this?"
Vieri took out a set of broken metal prostheses from the room, and the parts inside were almost scattered.
"Well, have someone send it to me later."
"Okay, Captain."
Just now, Ryan suddenly thought of this guy nicknamed 'Iron Man'. His metal prosthesis is very delicate, which made him feel a little bit.
He planned to go back and study it carefully.
When Ryan returned to the Sword Bearer Branch again, it was already late at night. After taking a shower, he fell asleep.
The next morning, Ryan woke up early, poured a cup of coffee, went to the study, and began to slowly think about the battle last night.
Last night, he killed three official members of the Bloodtop Mercenary Group in succession. The intensity of the battle was not small.
If it was any other first-level wizard, or a peak knight.
After Asimov, the leader of the Bloodtop Mercenary Group on the opposite side, summoned the lava monster and used this lava heart to strengthen the lava monster into a lava giant, the outcome was already doomed, and it was almost impossible to turn the tables.
Only someone like him who has a cheat can persist and turn defeat into victory.
Thinking of this, Ryan picked up the red crystal stone in the wooden box on the desk, which was the size of a baby's head and shaped like a heart, and looked at it carefully. Under the morning light, there was a flowing liquid like magma flowing inside.
Of course, Ryan could feel the surging energy in it.
"However, it seems that a lot of energy has been consumed, almost half of it."
"Maybe later, I can go to the exchange hall and find someone to identify it, first understand the exact use of this thing, and whether the energy inside can be replenished." Ryan thought to himself.
After thinking for a while, Ryan put the red crystal stone back into the wooden box.
In terms of strength, among the three opponents, the leader Asimov is naturally the strongest, and at the same time, he also left the most profound impression on Ryan.
The opponent's innate ability "Frenzy" from the blood-capped troll bloodline is simply too compatible with wizards.
After all, for wizards of all levels, as long as it is not a natural witchcraft, it takes a certain amount of time to cast a spell.
The less skilled, the longer it takes to cast.
But once you have the talent of 'Frenzy', you can increase the speed of chanting spells by nearly 30%!
With the addition of this special ability, some sorcery that was not suitable for release in battle will also undergo qualitative changes.
For example, some summoning sorcery that originally took seven or eight seconds to cast can be compressed to four or five seconds, and even, if you are skilled enough, you can complete it in a shorter time.
Greatly enhance your own combat effectiveness!
At this point, Asimov gave Ryan some inspiration.
The other party's talent 'Frenzy' comes from a blood transplant experiment. Although it is said that the risk is very high, he can learn about it in advance, not to say that he must do it.
In addition, he can actually achieve the purpose of super-speed release of a certain sorcery by adding points through the system, such as the current 'Metal Barrier'.
Of course, Asimov's biggest revelation to Ryan is that if the talent and the profession are very compatible, the combat effectiveness is very amazing!
And his talents 'Advanced Steel Body' and 'Primary Weapon Mastery' seem to be extremely compatible with close combat.
In addition, the second most impressive thing is Tienan's metal prosthesis.
Ryan walked to the desk and looked at the broken metal prostheses on the table. Of course, these were the parts of the forearm.
The palm at the front had long been crushed into powder by the powerful destructive force of the Hammer of Annihilation.
Ryan picked up a stump and looked at it carefully.
The remaining gear structure and metal parts inside showed extremely high precision. Compared with the mechanical devices he saw in his previous life, the precision seemed to be no less.
However, Ryan could vaguely see the traces of manual polishing.
"Handmade, can achieve such precision?"
"Could it be that the Eagle Federation has a bunch of eighth-level fitters?"
"This is quite impressive."
Seeing this, Ryan's mind moved slightly.
"Then can I rely on my innate sorcery 'Metal Transfiguration' to quickly transform into such a precise component?"
As Ryan's mind moved, a small piece of hardened gold in his hand began to rapidly transform into a gear, but after comparing the two, Ryan found that
although the gear he quickly transformed looked very similar, the precision was much worse.
After repeated tests,
Ryan estimated that the upper limit of the precision of his innate witchcraft was about millimeter level. If it was more precise, he might have to wait until he entered the level of liquefied wizard.
But this was also an idea. It was far from the realm of hand-rubbing war golems, but it could not be denied that metal wizards and puppet making represented by metal prostheses had a natural fit.
In addition, there seemed to be a separate energy source in the metal prosthesis, a white crystal that was much smaller than the red crystal just now, and seemed to have a driving effect similar to that of a battery.
Ryan planned to inquire about this later.
"The Eagle Federation has something."
"As for that scorpion girl?"
Ryan thought for a while and shook his head immediately. It seemed that she didn't leave any impression on him except for her enchantment.
At this time, Ryan suddenly remembered that he had not checked the system prompt:
[Congratulations, you defeated the strong enemy and obtained 8 gold skill points! ]
[Congratulations, your will (hidden) attribute has been improved! ]
[Congratulations, your Warhammer Wizard (Legend) career level has been improved! 】
The Warhammer Wizard (Legend) professional level was upgraded again this time, reaching level 8 (790/7000), and the skill points and attribute points were each increased by 1 point.
Adding his original remaining points, Ryan now has 8 remaining attribute points, 1 remaining skill point, and 17 gold skill points.
Ryan glanced at the attribute panel:
Constitution: 46
Strength: 48
Agility: 46
Spirit: 55
Will (hidden attribute): 4
"Will has increased by 1 point again?"
Ryan nodded.
This time, he could clearly feel that after the will was upgraded, it should have a suppressing and weakening effect on the evil flame mark.
However, there was one thing that Ryan was not very sure about.
He vaguely felt that it seemed that it was because his will was constantly in conflict with the evil flame mark that his will attribute would increase so quickly.
"If that's the case, maybe I don't have to passively wait for the Imperial Guardian to help me remove it."
"Through fighting, I may be able to turn passivity into initiative and turn unfavorable factors into favorable conditions."
In addition, Ryan also thought of one thing, that is, after he put on the mithril carved plate armor, the power of witchcraft also increased slightly. According to records, it was about 10%.
Therefore, he really wanted to know how much damage his innate witchcraft "Metal Transfiguration" could cause to the enemy if it was used directly to attack?
When he was just promoted to a formal wizard, Ryan had tested it. At that time, direct use could only cause fatal damage to ordinary people. Once facing the extraordinary, it would be beyond his ability.
I don't know how much change will happen now that my mental power has been greatly improved, and I am equipped with mithril carved plate armor.
Ryan came to the training room next to him.
After putting a set of steel armor on the iron and wood dummy, Ryan put one hand on the center of the chest armor, and tried to transform with a thought.
Sure enough, it was as expected.
Since ironwood has both toughness and hardness, the subsequent deformation process of the steel knight's plate armor is hindered after it is slightly deformed.
Obviously, with Ryan's current strength, it is still difficult to directly damage the ironwood dummy wearing metal armor through metal deformation.
Of course, Ironwood was not unscathed.
After taking off the plate armor, the Ironwood dummy had scratches and slight deformations on its surface, which could be seen by the naked eye.
After repeated tests, Ryan suddenly fell into deep thought.
At present, the power of his metal deformation technique can cause fatal damage to senior knights and below.
When his palm rests on the opponent's metal armor, with the use of his innate witchcraft, he can twist the opponent into a twist or iron ball in a short time.
But when facing the peak knight, he begins to be powerless.
As for the great knight with force defense, at present, he is still far behind. Perhaps when he enters the liquefied wizard and his mental power increases greatly, he can do it.
-
At the same time.
Münster branch of the Axon Auction House.
Drake, who had not slept for almost a whole night, had red eyes and his hair was no longer combed neatly as before. At this moment, it was as messy as a chicken coop.
Not long after the battle last night, the personnel who went to investigate reported the situation continuously.
Not long after Ryan killed Asimov, Drake received a report from the on-site personnel.
At that time, he was shocked!
Because this was worse than the worst result Drake had expected before!
Moreover, he thought about it all night, but still couldn't figure it out.
From the news that came one after another, it was confirmed that Ryan was the only one fighting against the Bloodtop Mercenaries.
But the Bloodtop Mercenaries were a group of three people led by Asimov, a second-level liquefied wizard.
How could they lose?
Or a complete loss!
Drake always believed that even if Ryan's strength was hidden, it only meant that the difficulty of this task had increased, but it should be completed. It was
just that there might be a little more noise during the battle.
Or the mission would be delayed and could not catch up with the previously scheduled last airship back to the imperial capital.
But what he didn't expect was that the result he waited for would be such a result!
Terrible!
"Bang, bang, bang!"
"Who?" Drake replied unhappily.
"Lord Drake, Ms. Olena from the Sword Bearer Division is here to visit." Fabien's voice sounded outside the door, slightly hoarse.
Hearing Fabien's words, Drake's heart suddenly "snapped".
He immediately figured it out.
This is the Sword Bearer Munster Division, which has decided to intervene.
It seems that the news from the Sword Bearer Division before is correct. This Ryan should be a diamond-level sword bearer, and in the eyes of the head of the Sword Bearer Division, he should have a relatively important position. Otherwise
, the Sword Bearer Division is unlikely to choose to talk to them directly.
Normally, when encountering such a thing, even if they intervene, they will first find an agent to communicate.
In the reception room, Olena and Drake sat facing each other.
"Is this Lord Drake from the Imperial Capital? Hello, I'm Olena."
"Hello, Ms. Olena."
"Lord Drake, I think you should know why I'm here this time."
"Please allow me to offend you, I'll get straight to the point. What is the attitude of the Orenz family towards this matter? Does your family want to settle it privately or publicly?"
Olena spoke sharply after taking the initiative.
"This..." Drake looked hesitant.
He was still waiting for a reply from his brother, Marquis Orenz, in the Imperial Capital. Since the unexpected result came out last night, he sent the letter as soon as possible.
"If it is a private settlement, perhaps we can talk about it."
"If it is a public settlement, then we will report the situation to the Imperial Senate in the name of the Sword Bearer Munster Branch. Of course, if that's the case, I can return now."
Hearing about reporting to the Imperial Senate, Drake's face turned pale.
Now there is evidence.
Although they can still deny some things, after all, it was the Bloodtop Mercenary Group that took action, not them.
But the problem is that the relationship between the Orenzi family and the Bloodtop Mercenary Group is obvious to anyone with a discerning eye.
Some things are meaningless when the power and background of the two sides are very different.
But when the backgrounds of the two sides are similar, these things become very meaningful.
