Chapter 309 Great Changes in the Imperial Capital (Two chapters in one)
This made Anna's heart clench!
Because the first thought in her mind was that the town of Shining Gold seemed to have been attacked, so Ryan, as the deputy sheriff, might be injured, or even...
And one of the important reasons why she came here this time was that she wanted to come back to see Ryan and Mint.
Anna's slender figure ran quickly towards Shining Gold, but just after taking a few steps, she suddenly remembered something and stopped immediately.
As the crisp and short spell sounded, a group of stars flashed across her face, and her originally slightly pointed ears became no different from those of humans.
On her fair and clean face, there were more freckles, and her skin color was also much darker.
This made Anna look no different from an ordinary human girl.
After the spell was completed, Anna continued to run towards Shining Gold.
In addition, this time she did not choose to transform into a giant horned deer. After all, in a place where humans gather, transforming into an animal is too eye-catching.
Soon, Anna came to the edge of Shining Gold.
Sure enough, she was not wrong.
Although it has been a while since the Black Flame Cult attacked, the streets have been cleaned up.
However, due to the large population reduction, many houses are still in a collapsed state, as if abandoned.
The whole town presents a depressed scene.
Anna's face changed, and she ran quickly to the location of Ryan's new home in the town of Shining Gold according to her memory.
A few minutes later, she looked at the large ruins in front of her, standing there blankly, with a dull look, and at the same time, she muttered to herself: "How is this possible?"
"No."
"Ryan is so strong, nothing should happen."
But the scene in front of her seemed to tell her that this world is dangerous and unpredictable, so even if something unexpected happens, it is not surprising.
In fact, because when the Black Flame Cult attacked, the town administration hall was one of the focuses of the attack, and many houses around it were damaged.
And the original Ryan's new house next to the town administration hall is naturally no exception.
After a brief panic, Anna calmed down and planned to ask others.
But looking around, she found that there were not many pedestrians on the street, and most of them were unfamiliar faces and hurried.
Fortunately, she soon saw a team of three security guards on patrol. She immediately ran up and asked anxiously:
"Hello, may I ask the former deputy sheriff of Shimmering Gold Town, Ryan?" Anna did not say the second half of the sentence, but pointed to the ruins on her behalf.
The leading security guard looked at Anna with surprise.
He was very confused.
If this girl was a relative or friend of Lord Ryan, how could she not know that the other party had moved out of Shimmering Gold Town a long time ago?
However, looking at the other party's clear eyes and the friendly temperament of a girl next door, it is unlikely that she is a spy of the cult, so she answered:
"Lord Ryan? He has not lived here for a long time."
"Ah? Not living here? That's good." Anna breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, nothing happened, it seems that he just moved.
"Then may I ask where he moved to? Do you know? I'm one of his friends." Anna thought for a moment and asked again.
Another young security guard seemed to regard Ryan as an idol, and said with admiration:
"Lord Ryan is very powerful now. I heard that he moved to the provincial capital of Munster. But Lord Baron seems to have a mansion in the county town. You can go there to ask."
"Baron?" Anna's beautiful eyes immediately widened, her mouth slightly opened, and she exclaimed.
Did she hear it right just now?
Baron?
Ryan is already an imperial noble?
Anna's heart was suddenly filled with turbulent waves.
Although she had watched Ryan's strength advance by leaps and bounds, she had never expected that he would become a baron in just three months.
Ryan's promotion speed is too fast!
"Really? Aren't you Lord Ryan's friend? Don't you know that the Lord has been promoted to baron a long time ago? How long have you not been back?" The young security guard looked at Anna and asked in surprise.
"Well, I haven't been back for a long time." Anna explained a little embarrassedly.
However, although she said that, she was actually a little confused. Three months, is it a long time?
"Thank you very much." Anna bowed to the three security guards.
"By the way, was there an attack in Shining Gold Town?"
Now that she knew where Ryan was, Anna was no longer anxious and asked about the situation in Shining Gold Town.
"Yes, you haven't been back for a long time, so I don't know. Shining Gold Town is..." Faced with the girl's inquiry, several security guards were still happy to answer.
After a lively conversation, Anna finally digested the series of things that happened in Shining Gold Town during the time she was away.
Hearing those familiar names, some of whom died, and some were missing, Anna couldn't help but feel nervous.
"Fortunately, Ryan, Mint and the others are all fine."
"No wonder Aunt Dranna strongly opposed me coming out, saying that the situation outside is very turbulent, and I have just entered the official druid level, and my combat power is not that strong."
In fact, this time, after Anna successfully promoted to an official druid, she hurried to Shimmering Gold from the Druid Ring in Ferdinand Forest, thinking that she should be able to help Ryan.
She used to be envious of Lagre and Ryan going to Nightsong Forest together to eradicate evil.
And now, she has enough strength to be with Ryan.
In addition, she came here for another important reason.
When her aunt Drana was away, she was tidying up the study and happened to see a secret letter.
The content of the letter was actually related to Anna's missing mother.
But unfortunately, it was not detailed, only indicating that her mother's disappearance was probably related to the Axon Auction House, which had influence throughout the empire.
This made Anna excited and uneasy. After thinking for a long time, she decided to leave the Druid Ring quietly.
She didn't know why Aunt Drana didn't tell her the news.
Perhaps she was worried that after she knew about this, she would come to investigate.
Of course, before leaving, Anna also left a letter to her aunt Drana.
The letter briefly said that she was returning to Shimmering Gold Town this time and planned to stay for a while, so that the other party didn't have to worry.
"Then let's go to Meister County City now and ask where Ryan has moved to?"
"I should be able to see Ryan and Mint soon." Anna looked into the distance with a smile on her face.
This time she came back, she was much more confident than before.
After receiving druid-related training in the Druid Ring, her whole person, including her figure, was no longer the bean sprout-like girl she used to be.
Now she has a well-proportioned figure, with convex and concave parts, full of the vitality of a girl.
In addition to the charm of druids, if Anna reveals her true face, I'm afraid most of the opposite sex will stare at her.
What's more important is that Anna can be promoted to a formal druid in about three months. According to Aunt Delanna, her druid qualifications are rare even among pure-blooded elves.
"Perhaps, Ryan is no longer my opponent now." Anna couldn't help but clenched her fists and laughed.
Thinking of Ryan's surprised expression at that time, Anna's fair face suddenly flushed.
After leaving the area of Shimmering Gold Town, the graceful girl quickly lay on the ground. Less than two seconds later, a tall and strong big-horned deer appeared in the same place and ran quickly.
Soon, the big-horned deer disappeared at the end of the road.
——Munster
.
Inside the Sword Bearer Branch.
At this time, Ryan was checking the system prompt:
[Congratulations, you defeated the powerful enemy and obtained 13 gold skill points! ]
[Congratulations, your will (hidden) attribute has been improved! ]
[Congratulations, your Warhammer Wizard (Legend) professional level has been upgraded! ]
I saw that the Warhammer Wizard (Legend) professional level has been upgraded by one level this time, reaching lv9 (380/10000).
The previous lv5 level of Beast Priest (Legend), the professional level has also been upgraded by one level in this battle, reaching lv6 (1022/3000).
Calculated in this way, it is equivalent to upgrading by two levels, which allows Ryan to gain 2 skill points and attribute points again.
Adding his original remaining points, the total remaining attribute points are now 8 points, the remaining skill points are 2 points, and the gold skill points have reached 16 points.
Ryan glanced at the attribute panel:
Constitution: 47
Strength: 51 (2 points of strength are added in battle)
Agility: 47
Spirit: 55
Will (hidden attribute): 7
"Huh? Willpower has increased by 3 points?" Ryan was surprised!
"No wonder, why do I feel that the influence of the evil flame mark on me seems to be getting lower and lower, and my attack power has also increased slightly."
In addition to being happy, Ryan focused his attention on the talent points again.
This time, after seeing the projection power of the high-level rank, Ryan felt that he should change his job as soon as possible. The epic class "King of Thousand Blades" is the most likely to complete the job change.
It seems that the strength improvement brought by the epic class should be higher than that of the Warhammer Wizard (Legend).
And twice in a row, if Ryan had not relied on the core skill of the Warhammer Wizard, "Soul Shattering Hammer", I am afraid that he would have found it difficult to overcome these two difficulties.
This made Ryan's urgency to change his job more intense than ever.
As for the prerequisite for changing his job, 'Mastering Nine Different Mysteries', Ryan's progress is currently (6/9), with three items to go.
Judging from previous experience, with 3 skill points, he only needs one week to practice a supernatural combat skill to the level of understanding the mystery, such as 'Shadow Spear Throwing'.
But the problem now is that he doesn't have enough skill points. 3 points are only enough to upgrade another supernatural combat skill.
On average, a supernatural combat skill can only be allocated 1 skill point.
If skill points cannot be used to upgrade after lv9, it will take at least several months.
As for changing to a subsequent job and brushing up a wave of skill points?
Ryan has naturally considered this method.
For example, the follow-up of Breaking Bad (Supernatural) is likely to be at the Munster branch of the Royal Pharmacists Association, where some clues for changing jobs can be found, but how long will it take to trigger it?
This is difficult to control.
It's not that Ryan is impatient.
But the successive attacks and the current turbulent situation of the empire may not give him much time!
However, after upgrading the "Primary Supernatural Enlightenment (Passive)" to an intermediate talent, how much speed can be increased?
It is still unknown.
But judging from the 30% improvement of the 'primary' level, Ryan estimated that the 'intermediate extraordinary comprehension' would most likely be able to improve by more than 60%.
"Knock, knock!"
The sudden knock on the door interrupted Ryan's thoughts.
Ryan opened the door and saw that it was Olena standing outside.
However, unlike her usual smart and capable appearance, she now had a feeling of anxiety and depression.
This surprised Ryan. Could it be because of the attack just now?
"Sir Olena."
"Sir Ryan, Admiral Edward hopes that you can attend an emergency meeting immediately." Olena forced a smile and said.
"Okay, we'll go now." Ryan nodded, his face solemn.
Obviously, the Sword Bearer Branch should have received more important, or not so good news.
As he walked, Ryan couldn't help but ask: "Sir Olena, the main content of the meeting is..."
"Admiral Edward just received a message from the Red Crystal." Olena said after considering it.
"Red crystal transmission?" Ryan looked surprised. He didn't know what this level of transmission meant.
"Yes, this is the highest level of transmission in the branch."
"It is also a means of receiving transmissions from the imperial capital Tamriel in real time, but it consumes a special crystal. Under normal circumstances, it will not be easily activated."
"As for the content, I'm sorry, Mr. Ryan, the red crystal is set in Admiral Edward's office, so I don't know the specific situation, but it won't be good news." Olena explained.
Ryan nodded.
It seems that this red crystal transmission should be the same as the central red telephone in the office of the governor in the previous life.
This made his heart tremble, and he had a very bad premonition.
"In addition to the captain of the Diamond Star Sword Bearer like you, the participants also include the heads of various departments in the branch." Olena talked to Ryan while walking.
Soon, the two came to the large conference room on the top floor of the administrative building.
At this time, the oval conference table was basically full.
Admiral Edward was in the middle, and on both sides were heads of various departments, including Yumaz, the head of the mission hall, and Colonel Stanley, Admiral Edward's secretary.
Everyone had a serious look on their faces, and the atmosphere in the meeting room was solemn.
Admiral Edward nodded slightly to Ryan when he saw him come in.
Under the guidance of Olena, Ryan sat next to a burly man.
"Everyone, everyone is basically here. Now we will hold an emergency meeting." Admiral Edward looked around and said.
"Just now I received news from the imperial capital Tamriel. Very bad news." At this point, Admiral Edward paused.
"Our great emperor was attacked by the incarnations of several foreign gods at the critical moment of his promotion to demigod. Although the imperial guardians tried their best to stop him, his emperor was still seriously injured.
"Now, the Dragun Empire has fully entered the first level of combat readiness!"
As Admiral Edward's voice fell, the meeting room was silent for several seconds!
But then, it was "crashed" and boiling.
"What! ”
“Promoted to demigod?”
“His Majesty the Emperor is seriously injured?”
“This…”
Obviously, the amount of information contained in the few words that Admiral Edward just said is too much.
Although everyone present is a middle or high-level member of the Sword Bearers Munster branch, it is they who can better understand what the serious injury of His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire means to the entire Dragun Empire!
The news just now was no less than a bolt from the blue!
And Ryan was also shocked!
But he quickly calmed down and quickly thought of something.
'No wonder, some time ago, His Highness Menia suddenly abandoned the good situation of severely damaging the Demon Tail Three-Headed Sea Dragon and immediately returned to the imperial capital.'
'It turns out that His Majesty the Emperor is going to be promoted to demigod'
"The one who launched the attack is the incarnation of the Outer God? "
Although Ryan didn't quite understand how much stronger the incarnation was than the projection, it was obviously much stronger.
But with a little thought, he could figure it out. Being able to injure the more powerful emperor of the empire under the defense of a group of powerful imperial guardians like His Highness Menia, the power of this god's incarnation must be at least epic, or even stronger!
'It seems that the speed of improving my strength needs to be accelerated, faster!'
'I must switch to the epic profession 'King of Thousand Blades' as soon as possible!'
'When I get back, I will add some talent 'Extraordinary Comprehension'!'
'If the situation deteriorates further, the empire in the midst of wind and rain will probably be difficult to serve as a towering tree that provides shelter."
"By then, the only one you can rely on will be yourself!'
"Silence!" Admiral Edward said loudly, with a majestic aura.
Immediately, the noisy conference room gradually calmed down.
"Everyone, fortunately in misfortune, His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire was seriously injured only after he entered the demigod stage."
"In addition, according to the news from Tamriel, the incarnations of those gods also fell in the palace one after another. Even if the opponent is a high-level being, losing an incarnation is not such an easy thing. "
So, the situation is not as bad as everyone imagined."
"It's just that"
"It will take time for His Majesty the Emperor to recover from his injuries, and although these evil gods are gradually recovering, they will also need time to recover."
Hearing this, many people breathed a sigh of relief.
But Ryan still frowned.
Because he heard clearly that Admiral Edward's speech just now was actually a downvote followed by a praise. It
is true that His Majesty the Emperor was seriously injured.
It is also true that the imperial capital may not have time to take care of the support of the major provinces in a short period of time.
"This news from Tamriel has been passed on to all provincial departments, including the Administrative Office and the Goddess Church, and they have all received relevant news."
"Unlike the Administrative Office, which is responsible for relocating the residents of the small town to the county city."
"Now the Empire has given us two main tasks as sword bearers. First, the sword bearer branches in each province need to comprehensively investigate the existing and undiscovered forbidden doors, and must prevent hostile forces from opening the forbidden doors."
"Secondly, comprehensively eliminate all evil cult organizations in the jurisdiction!"
At this point, Admiral Edward slightly turned his head and looked in the direction of Ryan.
Because the seats on Ryan's side represent the captains of the Diamond Star Sword Bearers, who are also the most powerful group of people in the current Sword Bearers Munster branch.
And Ryan immediately thought of a problem, that is, whether his plan to go to the Bixiu Construction School is considered a failure.
Or at least not at this stage?
'It's not appropriate to ask today, let's see tomorrow.' Ryan glanced at Admiral Edward, who looked exhausted and had not recovered from his injuries, and thought to himself.
The meeting was held in a hurry and ended quickly!
A few minutes later, the meeting was over.
Ryan returned to his residence again, and without hesitation, he immediately invested a few talent points in 'Primary Extraordinary Comprehension (Passive)'.
He planned to see the effect first.
If the improvement is too low, it proves that this quick way is not feasible.
Then think of other ways.
At least, he still has 3 talent points left, which can be turned to other talents. This is the second plan.
Ryan focused his attention on the talent 'Primary Extraordinary Comprehension (Passive)' and silently added points in his heart.
In an instant, a cool air suddenly emerged in Ryan's mind. This feeling was like the state of just waking up from a deep sleep, especially awake and sharp.
At this time, a system prompt also appeared:
[Congratulations, your talent 'Primary Transcendent Comprehension (Passive)' has been upgraded to 'Intermediate Transcendent Comprehension (Passive)'! ]
Ryan immediately looked forward to the intermediate talent 'Intermediate Transcendent Comprehension (Passive)'.
The text description was as follows:
[Weapon Master (Legendary) Exclusive Talent: Intermediate Transcendent Comprehension (Passive)]
Intermediate Transcendent Comprehension (Passive) Effect: The weapon master can easily master all kinds of combat skills, and the speed of learning any extraordinary combat skills is increased by an additional 80%.
"80%?!" Ryan raised his eyebrows and showed surprise.
"This is much higher than expected! I thought it was only about 60%."
"If the experience value of practicing extraordinary combat skills was +10 before, then now it is +18!"
"Sure! This means that the time to practice combat skills can be shortened by almost half!"
"The key is that now I still have talent points, which can be upgraded to advanced talents!"
After thinking quickly, Ryan's eyes lit up.
Immediately, Ryan silently added points to his talent 'Intermediate Transcendent Comprehension (Passive)'.
The same effect appeared again, and the system prompt appeared again:
[Congratulations, your talent 'Intermediate Transcendent Comprehension (Passive)' has been upgraded to 'Advanced Transcendent Comprehension (Passive)'! ]
Effect of Advanced Transcendent Comprehension (Passive): The weapon master is proficient in all kinds of combat skills, and the speed of learning any extraordinary combat skills is increased by an additional 200%.
"200%!"
"If the original experience points for practicing extraordinary combat skills were +10, then now it is +30?"
"According to the calculation that 100 experience points are required for promotion from lv1 to lv2, I only need one-third of the original time to complete the promotion!" Ryan quickly figured out the increase.
"Dong Dong Dong!"
"Lord Ryan, there is a Master Mogaro from the imperial capital outside the door. He wants to meet you." At this time, the guard's announcement sounded outside the door.
