Chapter 400 Crystallization
"This should be the crystallization of spiritual power, right?" Ryan thought to himself.
At this time, the system prompt sounded again:
[It is detected that the host is breaking through the third-level wizard and unlocking the improvement limit of the second-level talent witchcraft "Cutting Net". Yes/No to improve this witchcraft? This improvement requires 28 gold skill points. ]
(Note: After the improvement, the talent witchcraft will be more suitable for the host to perform, and the power, attack range or other aspects will be improved.)
Because the improvement and optimization of the first-level talent witchcraft "Metal Transfiguration" appeared when he was promoted to the second-level wizard before.
Therefore, seeing this system prompt, Ryan was not particularly surprised.
Without any hesitation, Ryan immediately chose "Yes"!
In an instant, a huge memory of the improvement of the second-level talent witchcraft "Cutting Net" began to flood into Ryan's mind.
For a moment, it seemed as if Ryan had spent nearly a hundred years in a mysterious space to improve the Cutting Net and fine-tune its witchcraft model to make it more suitable for his own spell-casting habits.
At the same time, the three layers of spiritual power crystals in the spiritual sea also underwent synchronous fine-tuning.
Soon, the system prompt came again:
[Ding! The host's second-level talent witchcraft "Cutting Net" has been improved. The new witchcraft model has been successfully adjusted. The witchcraft power has increased by 13% and the spiritual power consumption has decreased by 18%. 】
"Not bad!" Ryan's eyes lit up.
"Although it consumes more gold skill points than the metal transformation spell, as a second-level witchcraft, it is quite good to be able to increase its power again."
The improvement of the second-level talent witchcraft is only a small part of this promotion. At this time, the system prompts appeared one after another:
[The host's spiritual power has been greatly improved. Crystallization has been enabled.]
[Ding! Successfully promoted to a third-level wizard! Spirit +25! 】
[Obtained the third-level talent witchcraft: Steel Armor]
When Ryan opened his eyes again, he felt that his perception of the world became clearer and deeper!
He could easily distinguish the subtle differences in the steps of Claire and Beyonce, who were walking quickly dozens of meters behind him.
It was not just the difference in sound, but the difference in pace and force.
He could sense it clearly without turning around.
Even more than a hundred meters away, among the dozens of guards, Ryan could tell the location of Dick, the sword-bearing captain, just by sensing.
In addition, there was the mysterious side element energy that was invisible to the naked eye.
Although Ryan still couldn't see it directly, his perception at this time could already grasp very subtle differences, such as whether the distribution of the energy elements around him was uniform.
Just like where he was now, the proportion of metal and shadow energy particles around him was obviously more concentrated.
Of course, this should be caused by his battle with Neyoubrakan in the form of a half-spider demon just now.
And this subtle difference was not easy to do when he was a second-level liquefied wizard, or it was extremely difficult to distinguish.
But now, he can easily sense it clearly.
Soon, Ryan focused his attention on the system panel.
Since he was promoted to a third-level wizard, not a job change, the career panel of the Warhammer Wizard (Legend) did not change much.
"My spirit has increased by 25 points, which is much higher than when I was promoted to level 2. Not bad."
Ryan looked at the attribute panel and saw that the spirit attribute had reached 123 (1% crystallization).
"I have finally entered the level of a level 3 crystallized wizard. Now, I have entered the threshold of legendary combat power with my witchcraft alone." Ryan couldn't help but feel relieved.
Next, he focused his attention on the effect of the level 3 talent witchcraft "Steel Armor".
With a quick scan, Ryan found the new icon at the top of the Warhammer Wizard (Legend) career panel.
The pattern in the icon was a silver human figure. Unlike the knight figure with full knight armor, the human figure's entire surface was metal protected without a single wrinkle, just like the liquid robot Ryan had seen in the movie Terminator in his previous life.
There is a line of small words below the icon:
[Level 3 Talented Witchcraft: Steel Armor]
Steel Armor (Level 3 Talented Witchcraft) Effect: Consume a small amount of mental power, mobilize special metal energy particles on the surface of the earth with a specific witchcraft model, and cover the host's body with a thick layer of steel armor.
"Special metal energy particles?"
"Thick steel armor?" Ryan immediately grasped the difference between the description of Steel Armor and Iron Armor.
However, it is naturally inconvenient to perform it now, because Claire and Beyonce have already come behind him.
"Captain, are you okay?" Claire asked with a little worry.
"It's okay." Ryan waved his hand and said.
"Captain, do you want to put it on first?" Beyonce's pretty face blushed slightly, and handed Ryan a black cloak.
"Uh, thank you." Ryan looked down and saw a look of realization.
He immediately took Beyonce's cloak and put it on.
Although his witch tailoring professional level has been improved quickly recently, he was wearing a piece of underwear that can be greatly stretched, but the battle just now was too intense, and it has already turned into fragments at this moment.
So, basically, there was only a pair of shorts left.
When Dick and other guards came to Ryan, they were already confused by the potholes and the messy forest, as if hundreds of meteorites had fallen on the ground!
They shouted in their hearts, is this the kind of damage that humans can cause?
Even for an adult from the imperial capital, this is too exaggerated.
"Lord Ryan, although I have heard of your reputation for a long time, I find that the rumors still underestimate your combat power!" Dick bowed deeply to Ryan, with deep admiration in his eyes.
"Sir Dick, thank you and your companions for your bravery." Ryan smiled.
At the same time.
In the Cyrodiil Plateau, the Tutkarsh School's headquarters deep underground.
Just as Ryan destroyed the incarnation of the evil god Neyobrekan, Graham suddenly felt a throbbing in his heart, as if foreshadowing something bad was going to happen.
Then, his face changed drastically.
Because as a fourth-level Dawn Wizard, he could already hear the whispers of the distant God intermittently:
".The bastard killed him."
Although the Spider God's words were intermittent and not very clear, the anger in his words was beyond words.
Graham soon realized that something had happened to his Spider God's incarnation.
"How is this possible? It actually failed?"
"If Staven's mission failed, it's possible, but my Lord's incarnation clearly descended successfully before!"
The tall Graham paced back and forth in the underground hall, and his four pairs of sharp limbs poked the ground, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn't figure out why.
"Could it be that my Lord's incarnation was defeated after it descended?"
"But even the Imperial Guardian may not be able to defeat the incarnation of my Lord?"
"Staven is a container, and the strength of my Lord's incarnation must have reached an epic level."
"Stepping back, even if there happens to be an Imperial Guardian nearby, if they are defeated, they can always retreat."
"But judging from the angry tone of my Lord just now, the incarnation must have been completely destroyed"
"This..."
Graham frowned!
Blade Volcano, at the foot of the mountain.
After seeing Lord Ryan, who was also a sword bearer, had such a strong fighting power that he could kill the incarnation of the evil god, Dick and other sword bearers in Mosel Province were proud of it. After a rest, they headed to the Blade Volcano with high morale.
Soon, everyone arrived at the crater of the Blade Volcano, and a scorching air wave hit them, mixed with the pungent smell of sulfide.
Looking down from the mountain pass to the bottom of the volcano, one can see the dark red magma like cracked earth slowly wriggling, but so many people have repeatedly scanned it, and no trace of the lava fire dragon was found.
"Huh? Last time, before we reached the cave entrance, the lava fire dragon sensed our breath and rushed out immediately."
"Why this time?"
Many guards whispered.
"Lord Ryan, I think this lava fire dragon must have been scared by you, hiding in the lava lake and dare not come out." Dick thought for a moment and said a guess that he thought was closest to the truth.
Creatures like lava dragons value the concept of territory the most. Just now, they almost swaggered up, but the other party did not move at all.
This is obviously unreasonable.
Therefore, after careful thinking, Dick came to this rare but only reasonable conclusion-"A dragon was scared and hid!"
Tsk tsk, he was over 40 years old, and he had performed missions in the Mosel Sword Bearer Branch, which was at least a hundred times, big and small, and this was the first time he saw such an outrageous thing.
Hearing Dick's words, everyone looked at each other in surprise!
Although everyone also felt that Dick's inference was a bit exaggerated, it seemed very reasonable.
Claire, who was standing aside, was also stunned when she heard Dick's words. Her beautiful eyes fluttered a few times, and she thought to herself that this was the first time she heard such an outrageous thing.
However, when she quickly glanced at her captain, she found that Ryan frowned slightly, as if he was quite regretful for not completing the lava dragon mission.
After thinking for a while, Claire said, "Captain, how about I cast the Eye of Flame to check?"
"Eye of Flame? That's fine." Ryan's eyes lit up and he nodded immediately.
He had heard of the Eye of Flame, a first-level fire magic, which seemed to be able to condense into a fist-sized eye made of flame elements to check the enemy's situation.
As Claire silently recited the spell, a few seconds later, a slightly different translucent fireball appeared in the air in front of her and floated up and down.
Claire pointed her white finger, and the Eye of Flame fell rapidly towards the lava lake below.
After a few minutes, Claire wiped the fine beads of sweat on her white forehead, seemed to stop casting the spell, and said apologetically:
"Captain, I'm sorry, I couldn't find it. The other party should be hiding deep in the magma lake."
Ryan nodded and said, "It doesn't matter."
He could understand that although the crater seemed small, the area below was quite empty.
The magma lake at the bottom of the Blade Volcano is no less than a real lake, especially the depth of the lava lake, which should be extremely amazing. In addition, there is likely to be a winding underground secret passage at the bottom of the lava lake.
It is naturally very difficult to find a deliberately hidden lava dragon in such a lava lake.
Ryan did not think about letting Blood Feather go to search.
But his Blood Feather Hippogryph is a ferocious species, so it is not a big problem for it to fly over the magma in a short time, but it is obviously not practical to search in the lava lake for a long time.
Secondly, this is too dangerous. If Xueyu is swallowed by the lava dragon, the loss will be great.
After thinking about it, Ryan turned around and said, "Let's go. I'm afraid that the other party will change places after recovering from the injury."
"I just don't know if this counts as completing the mission." Ryan whispered.
After hearing this, the two women looked at each other.
Yes!
After all, the hidden danger of the lava dragon has been eliminated, but their captain did not use the method of killing.
At this time, Beyonce waved to Dick and said, "Sir Dick, send someone to observe for a while at the foot of the mountain. If the lava dragon Hermades leaves, you report to the headquarters."
"Yes, Miss Beyonce." Dick immediately understood what Beyonce meant, and said with a look of enlightenment.
For Ryan, although he did not kill the lava dragon Hermades, he was not in a low mood.
On the contrary, he was in a good mood on the way back.
Because the harvest this time was far beyond his expectations, he successfully entered the third-level crystal wizard. This was something he had never thought of before coming here. Originally, Ryan thought that he would need several months to be promoted.
As for the lava dragon, whether to kill it or not was not really his special concern.
Half an hour after Ryan and his party left, several fist-sized red firebirds suddenly emerged from the lava lake, flew into the sky, and looked around several times.
Then, a huge monster slowly and carefully poked its head out of the lava lake in the Blade Volcano.
As if to be cautious, the lava dragon Hermadeus quietly flew to the crater and stopped. After watching Ryan and his party really leave from a distance, he let out a long sigh:
"What a terrible human being, the incarnation of the gods, was actually defeated by him."
"It seems that this Blade Volcano can't stay."
"After the wound heals, I have to find a new habitat." Hermadeus's vertical pupils flickered.
A few hours later, on the way back to the airship.
Ryan was alone in the luxurious cabin, thinking.
"Now I have completed two of the prerequisites for becoming a dragon vein wizard. Next, there is only one left, the dragon blood essence."
Ryan had tried the blood essence of the ancestor dragon Corasius in the Frost Tundra before, but the system did not recognize it.
This is why Ryan did not care much about the lava fire dragon Hermadeus.
According to the records in the classics, fire dragons are not considered giant dragons, and the top sub-dragon species are only sub-dragon species. If
you think about it carefully, it is also clearly written in the pre-conditions for job transfer that 'a complete dragon blood essence'.
The key words are in the two items of 'complete' and 'dragon'.
"This is a bit troublesome, but in the next half a month, it will be the selection of dragon knight reserves."
"Maybe, soon, I will be able to come into contact with a real dragon." Ryan thought.
After all, if you can't even come into contact with a dragon, let alone get a 'complete dragon blood essence'.
"It's just right. I can go to the academy to earn some contribution points in the next few days and exchange for the third level of the Heart of Steel."
"It would be best to exchange for the third-level metal sorcery 'Iron Fist', but 14,000 contribution points are unlikely to be obtained in a short period of time."
"After all, there are not always opportunities like the Flame Canyon Secret Realm."
The next afternoon.
When Ryan returned to the Sword Bearer Headquarters in the imperial capital Tamriel, Olena immediately received a message from the staff of the airship berthing point.
"Lord Ryan, everything went well on the mission." Soon, Olena, wearing black straight pants and a white patterned long-sleeved shirt, rushed over with a smile on her face.
However, she swallowed the rest of her words as soon as she opened her mouth.
Because Olena just looked around and found that the heavy golem did not seem to have returned, and at the same time, she did not see any related trophies of the lava fire dragon.
Therefore, Olena, who has a high emotional intelligence, immediately kept silent.
Because this was the first time in her memory that she saw the young Lord Ryan in front of her failed in his mission.
When Olena glanced at Claire beside her with an inquiring look, Claire shook her head and took the initiative to say:
"Sir Olena, although we did not kill the lava dragon Hermadeus this time, I don't think we can say that this mission has failed."
"Because the lava dragon Hermadeus has been hiding from the captain and hiding in the depths of the lava lake, and dare not show up at all."
"Hiding from Lord Ryan?" Olena blinked her beautiful eyes, obviously very confused.
Although she is a civilian staff member, she has worked in the Sword Bearer Department for more than ten years.
Olena naturally knows that all the violent species have a strong sense of territory and often risk their lives to protect their territory, let alone a fire dragon like Hermadeus.
"Yes!" Claire nodded heavily and said.
"Sir Olena, you came at the right time. Perhaps you should contact Major General Tatia immediately." Ryan saw Olena, smiled and nodded, and said.
"We encountered some problems on the way. Although we didn't kill the lava dragon this time, we did encounter the incarnation of the evil god."
"What!" Olena's beautiful eyes immediately widened, and she covered her mouth with her hands and exclaimed.
"Then what about the incarnation of the evil god now?"
"The captain has already eliminated the evil god." Beyonce said at the side at the right time.
"Lord Raylan, I will contact Major General Tatia immediately. Please wait." Immediately, Olena stepped on a pair of five or six centimeters high heels and left quickly.
"By the way, Lord Ryan, there is an important matter here. Miss Anna had an emergency yesterday and said that she had to return to Ferdinand Forest first. This is the letter Miss Anna left for you."
Olena suddenly remembered something, turned back again, and handed a letter to Ryan.
"Hmm?"
"So urgent?"
"After all, I've only been away for two days. Can't Anna wait?" Ryan couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
He immediately opened the envelope and started reading.
Olena left quickly again to report to Major General Tatia.
At this time, Claire seemed to notice something.
She looked up at Olena who was leaving, and her eyes stayed on the curve of her slightly rounded hip skirt for a moment. She thought to herself that her captain's part-time liaison was quite charming.
"By the way, Beyonce, do you know? This is Captain Ryan's full-time liaison in Munster." Claire pouted at Olena who was leaving, and whispered to her companion Beyonce beside her.
Beyoncé glanced at Olena's slender figure going away, then looked at Claire. She immediately understood what her bestie meant and shook her head, saying,
"Not really. With the captain's strength and status, he can find anyone he wants."
"It's hard to say. Many nobles have special fetishes." Claire immediately put her hands on her waist and thrust her chest out, retorting.
"Beyoncé, think about it from another angle. How difficult would it be to transfer a civilian woman from the Sword Bearer branch in the lower province to the Imperial Capital headquarters? You should know this, right?"
"This." Claire's words made Beyoncé fall silent for a while.
Indeed, this difficulty is extremely high.
I'm afraid that even the head of the Sword Bearer branch would have difficulty coordinating.
Moreover, if the captain only wants a contact person, there are at least dozens of young female secretaries in the headquarters, waiting for the captain to choose.
Why bother to transfer someone from the branch?
Could it be that the captain really doesn't like young women, but likes young women instead?
But if they can spend a lot of effort to transfer people from the lower branch, doesn't it mean that their captain is quite loyal!
At this time, Ryan, who was standing aside, naturally had no time to pay attention to the gossip of his two team members. He only saw him carefully reading the content of the letter:
"Dear Ryan: Aunt Delanna was seriously injured by the believers of the Ancient Mother Tree Cult while performing a mission. I must go back immediately. After Auntie recovers, I will return to the imperial capital."
Ryan saw this and couldn't help but feel relieved.
"It turned out that Ms. Delanna was injured. No wonder."
"But. Mother Tree Cult?"
Ryan immediately thought of the place where he and Priest Rudolph of the Goddess Church killed the flesh and blood tree spirit together. There seemed to be an ancient temple of the Mother Tree Cult.
"It seems that the situation is getting worse and worse. Even the Ferdinand Forest where the elves live has been attacked by the cult."
"However, I can ask Olena to inquire about the information of the Mother Tree Sect later. After the selection of the Dragon Knight Reserve, I may consider going to Ferdinand Forest." Ryan couldn't help but think to himself.
Only about seven or eight minutes later, Olena returned again, accompanied by a female major general, Tatia.
"Sir Ryan, welcome back. General Augustus is waiting for you in the conference room." Tatia smiled slightly.
As she spoke, she also nodded to Claire and the other two women.
"Okay! Let's go now." Ryan nodded.
Sure enough, the Sword Bearer Headquarters attaches great importance to the news of the gods.
Soon, the three of them were invited to a small conference room with strict confidentiality and protection measures.
Ryan noticed that the corridors, floors and corners of the conference room had witch array patterns. Obviously, this should be similar to the secret room he had seen in the Marne Province before.
However, the magic array in the headquarters looked more complicated.
"Sir Ryan, this room has been equipped with multiple magic arrays to prevent eavesdropping and spying, which can effectively block prying. The real names of some gods can be mentioned appropriately."
Tatia introduced at the right time.
Ryan nodded to show that he understood.
At this time, General Augustus, whom Ryan had met twice before, was already sitting on one side of the conference room, looking at him with a smile.
