Chapter 310 Advanced Meditation Method (Two chapters in one)
"Ryan, do you know what happened in the Imperial Capital?" Mogaro said anxiously when he saw Ryan for the first time.
"Well, Admiral Edward just held a meeting with us. His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire was seriously injured. The situation is not good now."
"Not only is it not good, but now the exchanges between the Empire and the School have been suspended, and all active personnel have returned to work. I'm afraid that your study at the School will have to be put on hold for the time being."
Ryan nodded after hearing Mogaro's words.
Just when Admiral Edward held an emergency meeting, he had already expected this psychologically, and his emotions were not too volatile. Of course, there was a little disappointment.
"Besides, I will return to Tamriel to repair the super giant war golem 'Magic Steel Giant'. I'm afraid I can't take care of you in the short term." Mogaro looked at Ryan with regret.
For such a talented disciple, he originally wanted to teach him well.
"Don't worry, Master Mogaro, let's talk about it after the situation settles down." Ryan said comfortingly.
"No, I'm anxious if you're not! You're my disciple, I'm determined!" Mogaro's tone immediately became high-pitched.
He was seen saying something excitedly while taking out a parchment scroll emitting a strong witchcraft aura from his arms and handed it to Ryan.
"Here! This is the contract to join the Bixiu Construction School. Take a look and sign it if you have no problem. I have already told the school leader about you."
"After signing, you will be a formal member of the school, and then you will be my disciple, and no one can take you away."
"Huh? Contract?" Ryan took it with a little surprise. He didn't expect that Mogaro was more anxious than him.
It seems that the wizard qualifications he has shown so far really make Mogaro very concerned.
However ,
he had a good impression of Mogaro after his initial contact.
Mogaro has a straightforward personality, or it can be said that "his emotions are expressed on his face."
Ryan can feel that Mogaro may have a high level of attainment in puppetry, but his own strength is very average, only at the peak level of a first-level wizard.
This point can be seen from a horizontal comparison with Minor, the Duke's advisor who is a second-level liquefied wizard that Ryan knows. The aura is weaker than that.
Although the opponent's strength is not very strong, Ryan is more of a guide on the road of wizards.
As for strength, it is naturally better to be stronger, but if the strength is average, it doesn't matter much.
After all, with the system in hand, even if it is stronger than Ryan now, it is likely that Ryan will quickly surpass the opponent in the near future.
Of course, Ryan still has to look carefully at things like signing contracts.
After he took it, he opened the parchment contract that exuded witchcraft fluctuations and read it one by one.
After a few minutes, Ryan did not find any problems. The terms of the contract were mostly "do not do things that harm the interests of the school", "do not spread the secret knowledge of the school", and so on.
After reading it carefully again, Ryan no longer hesitated and immediately picked up the feather pen and signed his name.
At this time, the parchment contract suddenly emitted a burst of white light, and then quickly weathered and dissipated. At the same time, a complex witchcraft symbol appeared in the air, flashed a few times, and then disappeared.
"Well, very good!" Mogaro, who had been waiting anxiously on the side, took the parchment and carefully looked at the signature "Ryan Kalan" on it, and couldn't help but be overjoyed.
In fact, Mogaro was more concerned about Ryan joining the school than Ryan himself.
After that day, he immediately contacted the school.
After receiving the news from the imperial capital this morning, he was very anxious. After taking the contract and several other things, he hurried over.
"In this case, I have a few things here, and I can give them all to you first." Mogaro said, while taking out a transparent prismatic crystal from his arms.
The crystal has eight faces, which are two regular tetrahedrons superimposed on each other, about two fingers wide and one finger long.
"This is a memory crystal, which contains the first level of the school's most important advanced meditation method, 'Heart of Steel.'"
"Although it is only the first level of the advanced meditation method, it is also a secret of the major wizard schools. Generally speaking, newcomers who have just joined the school need an observation period of more than one year, plus background checks and assessments."
"But... you are different. With your qualifications and identity, these things seem a bit redundant to me."
"In addition to allowing formal wizards to further improve and condense their mental power, the Heart of Steel advanced meditation method has an additional ability to enhance control over metals. It is most suitable for you."
"But it is quite difficult to get started. You can just read it slowly."
Having said that, Mogaro took out a slightly thicker book from his arms and handed it to Ryan.
"The principle of puppetry is easier to learn, but it is difficult to master. You should focus on learning the principle of making metal puppets. This is very compatible with your affinity for metal, and you can better exert the combat effectiveness of metal puppets."
"As for the others, such as clay puppets, rock puppets, and flesh puppets, you don't need to master them, just a little understanding is enough."
"In addition, this is the method of making an entry-level combat puppet - the iron combat puppet." Mogaro took out another ancient sheepskin scroll and handed it to Ryan.
"Of course, you don't need to make this, it's mainly for you to better understand and master the principle of puppetry."
"Keep these three things."
"I estimate that the current turbulent situation will be calmed down after His Majesty the Emperor recovers in two or three months. During this period, these things should be enough for you to learn."
"In the next few months, I hope you can study it carefully, so that when you come to the school again, you can get started more quickly." Mogaro reminded.
When Ryan saw these three things, he was stunned at first, and then, of course, he was extremely happy.
He didn't expect that the benefits would come to him so soon after signing the contract.
Especially the 'Steel Heart Advanced Meditation Method'!
Ryan had already checked this thing at the exchange hall.
No!
Maybe the Sword Bearer headquarters may have it, but the branch really doesn't have it.
Moreover, even if the headquarters has it, there may be very high exchange conditions, or it may require a task evaluation medal of diamond star or above.
In this regard, he also asked Olena. As far as she knew, it seemed that only by going to the Sword Bearer headquarters could he have the opportunity to be taught.
Unexpectedly, he got it so easily now, although it was only the first level.
It seems that his super-level affinity for metal elements may be more rare than he expected.
"By the way, mentor, how do I use this memory crystal?" Ryan looked at the transparent crystal in his hand that was emitting a faint white light, and couldn't help asking.
Ryan also changed the address and called Mogaro mentor, which immediately made Mogaro stroke his red beard and smile.
Hearing Ryan's question, Mogaro couldn't help but pat his head and said:
"Hey, I almost forgot such an important thing."
"If you concentrate on the memory crystal, you can see nine light spots arranged in a square, three in a row, a total of three rows. Draw a 'Z' on the square, activate these light spots, and you can read the contents of the memory crystal."
"By the way, the memory crystal must be kept carefully. When you have memorized all the contents. Just squeeze it hard and the memory crystal will shatter to prevent it from being accidentally leaked." Mogaro's face became serious and he warned.
"Okay, teacher." Ryan nodded.
This is convenient, but it is probably not easy to make it. In addition, there should be some restrictions.
Otherwise, so many ancient books would not be preserved in the form of books.
"Okay, Ryan, I have to go. The airship to the Empire will leave in two hours. I still have some things to pack and organize." Mogaro stood up and said.
"Okay, teacher, I'll see you off." Ryan smiled.
Ryan returned to the room again, looking at the three things in his hand, and couldn't help but show joy.
"I thought the trip to the school might be over."
"I didn't expect that there would be a ray of hope!"
After placing the three things in a row on the desk, Ryan was first attracted by the memory crystal.
"Steel Heart Advanced Meditation Method"
He picked up the memory crystal that was emitting a faint light, and immediately concentrated his mental power on it. According to what Mogaro had said before, he quickly opened the memory crystal smoothly.
Suddenly, an extremely complex three-dimensional pattern appeared in Ryan's mind.
Is this the first level of the advanced meditation method Steel Heart?
Ryan took a closer look.
In fact, this is a three-dimensional figure, but the complexity is much more than any will rune in his previous basic meditation method.
If the 24 will runes that he had practiced before were different building blocks in the Lego toys in his previous life, then the three-dimensional pattern in front of him is a collection of building blocks.
It's like a toy car or a toy house assembled from many building blocks.
The difficulty is naturally incomparable.
But the power is also incomparable.
The latter can not only improve and condense mental power, but also achieve some special effects, or in other words, let the wizard who practices it have some special abilities.
Ryan, who was slightly excited, tried it immediately.
After a while, even with Ryan's current mental power, he couldn't get started for a while.
"It seems that what Teacher Mogaro said is right. This Iron Heart Advanced Meditation Method is really difficult to learn."
Although Ryan has a system, he also needs to get started first. Only when it is displayed on the system panel can it be improved by adding points later.
However,
Ryan calmed down a little and put the memory crystal in his hand aside.
He folded his hands on his chest, paced back and forth in the room for a while, and then focused his attention on his system attribute panel.
"Under the current situation, it is most important to change your job to the epic class 'King of Thousand Blades' first."
"Then, consider spending your energy and time on the practice of the advanced meditation method of the Heart of Steel."
"The goal must be clear!"
After thinking about it, Ryan decided to change his job first.
In addition, he still had a few talent points to add.
In fact, if he wanted to use this talent point instead of saving it, he had no other choice.
Because whether it is 'Intermediate Giant Strength (Active)', 'Advanced Supernatural Enlightenment (Passive)' or 'Advanced Steel Body (Passive)', it is not something that can be improved with a few talent points.
After a little thought, Ryan decided to use this talent point instead of saving it.
Under the current situation, every point of strength improvement will make the grasp of dealing with crises stronger.
As Ryan focused his attention on the talent 'Primary Weapon Mastery (Passive)', soon a system prompt appeared:
[Congratulations, your talent 'Primary Weapon Mastery (Passive)' has been upgraded to 'Intermediate Weapon Mastery (Passive)'! 】
Ryan immediately checked the intermediate talent 'Intermediate Weapon Mastery (Passive)'.
The text description is as follows:
[Weapon Master (Legend) Exclusive Talent: Intermediate Weapon Mastery (Passive)]
Intermediate Weapon Mastery (Passive) Effect: Weapon Masters have a natural familiarity with various weapons, and any weapon they use has the effect of 'Expertise lv2'.
(Note: 'Hammer Expertise lv3' remains unchanged because it exceeds this effect.)
After thinking about it, Ryan casually transformed the hardened adamantium into a javelin.
When he held the javelin, he clearly felt the difference from before.
There was a sense of familiarity, and a feeling of being more in control.
From the text description, this is because his full weapon expertise has been upgraded from lv1 to lv2.
In addition, after the expertise is upgraded to lv2, there is another biggest benefit.
That is, with the blessing of all weapon category expertise lv2, the difficulty of his subsequent extraordinary combat skills to comprehend the mystery will be further reduced.
"It's very likely that level 11 will be enough."
"Counting in the fact that I still have 3 skill points, that is to say, after upgrading the extraordinary combat skills to level 10, I can basically comprehend the secrets by adding a few more points."
"If that's the case. Well. It may only take three to four days for me to master a new secret."
"That is to say, in nine days at the fastest and half a month at the slowest, I can change my job to the epic class 'King of Thousand Blades'!" Ryan quickly calculated the approximate time required for his job change.
This made Ryan feel relieved, and he couldn't help but show a little excitement on his face.
"But. Which weapon category should I choose for the next extraordinary combat skill?"
Ryan accidentally glanced at the trophy cabinet next to him.
He found that there were more than three daggers in it, but he had never practiced any extraordinary combat skills of the dagger type.
"Hey, could it be that I have a natural aversion to the assassin profession?"
Ryan thought about it and couldn't help laughing.
"Then the next item is the dagger."
Ryan made up his mind and quickly went out and walked towards the exchange hall.
In fact, at Ryan's current level, he already has relatively complete melee and long-range attack methods. It is not so important for him to learn any extraordinary combat skills at this time.
Ryan plans to learn a dagger-type extraordinary combat skill first.
Then, he will consider learning a long-handled weapon, such as a lance, which can be used when riding the fast-trotting wildebeest "Little Black".
As for the ninth secret,
Ryan has not thought about it yet.
Half an hour later, Ryan took a parchment scroll and returned to his room again.
After sitting down at the desk, he opened the parchment scroll and saw a few big words written on it - "Borak's Assassination Dance". He couldn't help but smile and nodded.
This is the dagger-type extraordinary combat skill that Ryan just exchanged.
As for why he chose this one?
The reason is very simple.
Because the price of exchanging this one is the highest, higher than other dagger-type extraordinary combat skills!
I don't know if it's because Ryan has experience using short weapons like the sharp knuckles, this time, he only took a few minutes to get started with this 'Brack's assassination dance'.
So Ryan came to the training room next to him, instantly transformed into two daggers, and began to practice.
The system prompts also sounded like a revolving lantern:
[You have trained in Burak's assassination dance, and the relevant understanding has improved! ]
[Your skill Burak's assassination dance has been improved, experience value +3]
The system will prompt an experience value plus three every six or seven seconds, which is in sharp contrast to the original experience value plus one.
After only ten minutes, Burak's assassination dance has entered level 2.
This amazing speed makes Ryan very happy!
"Is this the effect of the advanced talent 'Advanced Extraordinary Comprehension'? Awesome!"
Although Ryan knew that this would be the current situation when he calculated it before, when it really came to this moment, his joy in his heart was still beyond words.
About half an hour later, Burak's assassination dance entered level 3!
Less than an hour later, it entered level 4!
"This speed is unparalleled!"
"It's like a rocket-like improvement"
Ryan himself felt that it was a bit exaggerated.
"Dong Dong Dong!"
At this time, there was a knock on the door. Ryan opened the door and saw that Neoro, Vieri and other team members had come.
"Captain!"
"Captain Ryan!"
"Come in quickly."
Since Ryan moved to the Diamond Star Sword Holder Suite, since there is a separate training room here, it has also become a gathering place for Ryan's team.
Basically, everyone will gather here for no matter what.
"Hey, Captain, are you practicing with a dagger?" Vieri was sharp-eyed and immediately noticed that the weapon Ryan held in his hand this time was different.
What made him even more curious was that this was the first time he saw Ryan use a dagger.
"Yes, Captain, I remember you were practicing javelin throwing a few days ago. Why is it dagger throwing today?" Angus, who was standing by, was also puzzled.
After all, his shield had suffered a lot in the past few days, and was almost broken by Ryan's javelin throwing.
"Well, it was just a sudden inspiration, so I found a dagger-type extraordinary fighting skill and practiced it casually."
Hearing Vieri and Angus's questions, Ryan looked down at the dagger in his hand and made up an excuse to evade them.
After all, you can't say that your talent has suddenly improved and you can understand the secret in a few days!
But Ryan's words still made several people look at each other in bewilderment.
On a whim?
Just practicing casually?
Among those present, perhaps only Neoro, as a scroll master, may not know how much sweat, time and effort it takes for an ordinary knight to learn an extraordinary combat skill.
Whether it is Angus, Vieri or Evelyn who is also studying the knight's path, they all understand the difficulty very well.
A sentence silently emerged in the hearts of several people, 'What a strange talent! '
"By the way, you guys came at the right time, you can accompany me to try this new dagger combat skill." Ryan said with a smile.
"Captain, did you just learn it today? If you lose, don't be embarrassed." Vieri was the first to volunteer and joked.
"You will know if you try it." Ryan couldn't help laughing.
A few minutes later, a competition ended.
Vieri looked at Ryan with a look of seeing a ghost, and said, "Captain, you really didn't lie to me? Did you just start learning the dagger today?"
"Well, maybe as a short weapon, the dagger has a lot of similarities with the sharp knuckles I master, so I learn it faster." Ryan thought for a long time before finding such a vague explanation.
Evelyn's beautiful eyes flickered twice, and she couldn't help but complain in her heart, 'Is this fast? That's flying, okay! '
And Angus listened and nodded silently, stroking his chin, thinking, with an expression that he felt it made sense.
Because of the team members' rotation training, Ryan's new combat skill 'Borak's assassination dance' soared at a speed that ordinary people could hardly imagine!
...
Two days later in the morning.
The sun was rising.
A slender girl came to the shore of Zhishui Lake alone, looking dusty.
Several groups of men and women camping by the lake looked at the girl curiously, and seemed surprised that she was traveling alone.
You know, the situation in the empire has been turbulent recently, and some refugees, bandit groups, and even vicious cultists have emerged one after another. Most people rely on large caravans or mercenary groups to travel smoothly.
The girl washed her face with clean water, stood up, and looked up at the towering mountains in the distance and the huge city of Munster built on the mountains.
After staring blankly for a few seconds, the girl exclaimed in a low voice: "So this is Munster. It's so magnificent!"
The girl was Anna, who rushed all the way to Munster from the county city of Meister.
She asked the servants who stayed behind in the mansion of Meister Ryan for the specific news of Ryan. She learned that after he was awarded the title of baron, he joined the Empire Sword Bearer Organization. At the same time, not long ago, his family also moved to Munster.
So Anna rushed all the way to Munster again.
Along the way, it was not completely safe and smooth, but Anna's transformation into a giant horned deer was very useful.
After transforming into a giant horned deer, not only does she possess excellent combat power, but her speed is no less than that of the fast-trotting wildebeest 'Xiao Hei'.
When Anna encountered some bandit groups on the road, she did not stop at all, but accelerated and took a detour.
If she really met someone who was blind and relentless, Anna would use the 'Giant Horn Collision' to immediately break the opponent's bones and tendons.
At the same time.
Munster Sword Bearer Branch.
"Knock knock knock!"
There was a knock on the door outside Ryan's room.
"Hey, Lord Olena, so early."
"Good morning, Lord Ryan. Admiral Edward asked you to come over. The Duke of Munster has just arrived at the branch. It seems that he wants to commend you for your outstanding contribution to the cult incident last time."
Olena said with a smile.
