Chapter 448: Eight Levels Up
As Quileute fell to the ground, the huge ritual on the ground suddenly erupted with a strong wave and shock, and the blood-colored energy light mixed with black, like boiling magma, suddenly rushed into the sky.
Then, the light fell again, like the ocean after a tsunami, slowly returning to calm. After
a little perception, Ryan confirmed that Quileute was completely dead, and walked towards the direction of the huge snake body that fell down.
As soon as he approached, Ryan sensed a special breath emanating from it.
This breath was full of evil, bloodthirstiness, grandeur and greatness.
This familiar scene made Ryan laugh.
After several experiences of killing projections and incarnations of gods, Ryan also had some experience in this. Basically, as long as the enemy had a little relationship with the gods, in the end, he could absorb a small amount of high-quality energy that escaped through the system.
The system prompt also verified what Ryan thought again:
[Ding! Some unknown high-quality energy that can improve the degree of crystallization of mental power was detected. Yes/No? Absorb? (Note: The system can remove impurities by absorption.)]
"Part?"
Ryan's eyes lit up immediately, as if he had thought of something, and
he silently said "yes" in his heart! At the same time, in order to avoid others from noticing any clues, he pouted and stabbed the huge dragon claw into the seven-inch position of the Quileute's huge snake body.
This scene immediately made everyone look horrified!
It was really brutal!
On Ryan's side, in an instant, he felt that the huge aura around the Quileute's huge snake body was suddenly absorbed by him, seeping through his whole body and rushing straight into his mind.
The silver liquid in his mind, which was already quite viscous, seemed to be "frozen" directly at this moment.
Of course, this is an illusion!
In fact, it was because the number of crystals in the silver liquid had exceeded a certain threshold, so the entire state or nature had almost completely changed from liquid to solid.
A few seconds later, Ryan glanced at the system panel:
Spirit: 176 (Crystallization 94%)
Since he had just added 10 attribute points to the spirit, Ryan's spirit attribute at this moment increased from 166 to 176.
"The crystallization progress was 76% before, but now it has reached 94%, a full 18% increase? This rate of improvement is too fast." Ryan was extremely happy.
"That's normal. The system used the word 'a small amount' before, but this time it's 'partial'."
"In fact, if it weren't for the fact that I was in the late stage of crystallization, the improvement should be far more than 18%. After all, the later the crystallization of spiritual power, the harder it is to improve!"
Ryan, in a good mood, sensed the surroundings again, and after confirming that there were no hidden enemies, he immediately released the dragon beast form.
In fact, Ryan also knew that since many evil cults had divided the Ferdinand Forest into areas, after the secret snake cult team here was eliminated, there would be no other evil cult teams within a considerable range.
After Ryan regained his human form, he turned around and walked towards Anna's location.
Seeing Ryan coming over, the pure-blooded elves and centaurs stiffened slightly, and their expressions were a little unnatural.
After all, the young man in front of him was not only an epic warrior, but also had a too strong performance in the battle.
At this time, Anna, who had long been unable to suppress her excitement and joy, rushed into Ryan's arms like a light butterfly and hugged him tightly.
Ryan naturally smiled and gently hugged Anna's slender and energetic body.
Seeing this scene, the one who was most touched was naturally Anna's aunt Drana.
At this moment, she was watching this scene from a distance, and a smile appeared on her face.
In fact, at the beginning, she was not optimistic about the relationship between Anna and Ryan, and could even be said to be very opposed. On the one hand,
the reason was that Anna's mother, that is, her sister, met the wrong person, which led to Drana's poor sense of human men.
On the other hand, it was that she saw Ryan and a beautiful barbarian girl rubbing their ears together outside the window, which made it even more difficult for her as an elf to accept it.
Finally, it was Ryan himself.
Dranna had never thought that a small town boy could become an epic warrior. This was even more exaggerated than the ancient sons of destiny recorded in the ancient elves' books.
It was not until this moment that she realized that applying past experience to the people and things in front of her was not necessarily right.
Let Anna and Ryan handle the matter between them.
As for Lambert, he was watching the scene with a smile, thinking to himself: "Sure enough, Miss Anna and Mr. Ryan have a close relationship. '
It took a long time for Anna to react. A large group of tribesmen including Aunt Delanna were looking at her. However, driven by curiosity, Anna raised her pretty face with a blush and asked quickly:
"Ryan, you...how did you come here? No, I mean, how did you know that something happened here?"
"And...how can your strength be so strong? That person is an epic strongman!"
Ryan rubbed Anna's head and smiled: "You have so many questions, which one should I answer first?"
"First of all, I want to criticize you. When such a big thing happened here, why didn't you contact me?"
"I..."
Under Ryan's fiery gaze, Anna couldn't help but shyly lower her head again.
She lowered her head and said softly: "I don't want to let people know because I'm worried that you will risk coming to find me. The enemy is too strong."
Hearing Anna's explanation, Ryan seemed to be hit somewhere deep in his heart.
He couldn't help but think of the first time he saw the girl in front of him in Shimmering Gold Town. In the sunshine, Anna sat on the steps, eating bran cakes in small bites, with a look of satisfaction on her face.
She was petite and thin, but her heart was extremely kind and resolute.
"Silly, do you know who is stronger now?"
"Yes!" Anna nodded heavily.
"What should we do next time we encounter such a thing?" Ryan asked again.
"Looking for you."
"Very good, remember this answer." Ryan kissed Anna's smooth forehead lovingly, but this action still made the half-elf girl blush.
"No, no, Ryan, Aunt Delanna is still here." Anna buried her head in Ryan's chest like an ostrich, and her hands were nervously pulling Ryan's sleeves.
At this time, Ryan remembered that he and Anna were not the only ones in front of him.
When he looked up and looked around, everyone, including the surrendered slave-hunting team, immediately looked away and pretended to look around as if nothing had happened.
Only the elf girl Aishiya, blinking her big eyes, still stared at Ryan and Anna intently.
Seeing Ryan's gaze turned to him, Aishiya ran over quickly.
Ryan let go of Anna slightly, squatted down, and said with a smile: "Aishiya, I have completed your employment mission, so this hairpin of yours is mine as a reward."
"Well! Brother Ryan, thank you."
Anna, who was standing aside, looked at Ryan and Aishiya curiously, because she didn't quite understand what employment meant.
Ryan stood up, slowly inserted the wooden hairpin into the left end of Anna's hair, and smiled: "This hairpin is for you."
"Aishiya, does Sister Anna look beautiful wearing the hairpin?" Ryan asked with his head tilted.
"Of course it's beautiful!" Seeing Ryan give his beloved hairpin to her favorite sister Anna, Aishiya was naturally willing in her heart, and her big eyes smiled into a crescent.
While Anna was holding Aixia and understanding what was meant by hiring, Ryan walked to the middle of the pure-blooded elves with a smile on his face, bowed slightly to Dranna, and said:
"Ms. Dranna, I'm late, sorry."
"No, no, Mr. Ryan. Lord Ryan" Facing an epic-level strongman, all races will show enough respect, so although Dranna felt uncomfortable, she immediately changed her words.
"No, Ms. Dranna, you are Anna's elder, so you are naturally my elder, just call me Ryan." But Ryan waved his hand and interrupted Dranna.
Hearing Ryan's words, the pure-blooded elves around curiously looked at Anna, Dranna and Ryan again.
It's not vanity, being looked at by his own people with a curious and respectful look, Dranna felt an inexplicable sense of comfort in his heart.
You know, in the past, some of the people in the town of Bashalan also had some gossip about Anna's half-elf identity, and there was some strangeness and disapproval in their eyes, but at this moment, all disappeared.
"Well, Ryan, we should thank you for your help this time."
"Ms. De Lanna, this is what I should do."
After a brief conversation with De Lanna, Ryan turned around and bowed slightly to Lambert beside him, saying:
"Mr. Lambert, thank you for your hard work this time. Next time, if you need my help with anything, please don't hesitate to ask."
"Sir Ryan, you are too polite. I just did what I promised you to do."
"In addition, you entrusted me with such an important task as protecting Miss Anna. It shows your trust in me. I am very honored and happy!" Lambert felt flattered when he saw Ryan actually bowed to thank him.
After the battle just now, there is no doubt that Ryan in front of him has become a real epic-level strongman like his teacher Tide Sword Saint.
And just now, he got the promise of an epic-level strongman!
This naturally made Lambert in a good mood, and he immediately felt that the risk he took before was really worthwhile.
At this time, Ryan suddenly turned around and asked the pure-blooded elves:
"By the way, what happened in Ferdinand Forest? Do you know?"
Hearing Ryan's question, the pure-blooded elves looked at each other, and then focused their attention on an old elf.
The old elf was a handsome old man. In addition to the snow-white hair and the small wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, which revealed his true age.
"This, Lord Ryan, I am Aldilan, the mayor of Bashalan Town. Perhaps I can answer your question."
Ryan looked at Anna and Delanna beside him, and saw that both of them nodded, so he said to the old man: "Mayor Aldilan, please speak."
"It's like this, Lord Ryan, a few days ago, an urgent report came from Ferdinand City that Prince Seidlin of our tribe was attracted and corrupted by the Supreme Mother Tree of the Mother Tree Cult. Ferdinand City fell into chaos and needed to immediately withdraw the archdruids originally stationed in various towns to return."
"What!" The pure-blooded elves and the surviving centaurs suddenly became agitated.
"Prince Seidlin would actually betray his faith and betray the Moon Goddess!"
"Oh my God! Is this true?"
"No wonder, until now, Ferdinand City has not sent reinforcements."
"."
Obviously, most of the pure-blooded elves in Bashalan Town were not very clear about this news. When they heard their mayor talk about it, they were all shocked.
"In order to stabilize everyone's emotions, the archdruids' opinion is to keep it secret for the time being, but now, alas, there is no need for this." Aldiran couldn't help but sighed and said.
Ryan nodded.
This news should be true, which is consistent with the news learned from the Sword Bearer Headquarters.
The previous judgment of the headquarters was that there were high-level rebellions on the side of the elves.
But now it seems that the problem is more serious than the headquarters' judgment.
Because Prince Seidlin is not an ordinary elf high-level. From Ryan's understanding, the other party seems to be the only prince in the Ferdinand Forest Elf Tribe.
With the cooperation of Prince Seidlin, it is not difficult to understand that dozens of elven outposts on the border of Ferdinand Forest were destroyed. The chaos caused by the invasion of the cult that followed caused heavy casualties to the elves.
"What is the situation in Ferdinand City now?" Ryan couldn't help asking.
"I don't know the current situation, but Ferdinand City has five defensive crystal towers handed down from ancient times, so it shouldn't be so easy to break through."
"But at present, if we rely solely on the power of the elves, I think it will be very difficult to repel those cultists and quell the rebellion. At the same time, if this process continues for a long time, our already scarce people will become even scarcer."
"So, Mr. Ryan, could you please go to Tamriel, the imperial capital of the Dragun Empire, to help contact our elf ambassador Lux in the imperial capital and ask him to seek help from the empire."
"Of course, don't worry, we will give you a satisfactory reward for this."
Hmm?
Originally, Ryan thought that the mayor of the small town of Bashalan would ask him for help directly, such as going to Ferdinand City, but he didn't expect that he would just contact the elf ambassador.
This was naturally too simple for him.
"Mayor Aldiran, this is easy for me. I don't need to pay you. Perhaps you can tell me a piece of news."
"My wizard school needs an 'Ancient Tree Heart'. I heard that this is a treasure of the elves. Can you tell me where I can trade it?"
Hearing Ryan's words, Aldiran was stunned for a moment, but then he laughed and said,
"Lord Ryan, the reward I intend to give you is exactly two 'Ancient Tree Hearts'. I hope you won't refuse."
The old elf Aldiran took a small box from another male elf and handed it to Ryan.
"Hmm?" Ryan raised his eyebrows and couldn't help laughing.
This is a coincidence.
Originally, he wanted to ask the old elf in front of him for transaction information, but he didn't expect to get it right away.
At this time, the thin sheet on Ryan's body vibrated.
Ryan walked to the side, took out the thin sheet, injected a trace of spiritual power, and said, "I am Ryan, please speak."
"Captain Ryan, I finally contacted you." When Ryan picked up the thin sheet, he seemed to hear Claire's relieved voice on the other side.
Claire said quickly and anxiously:
"Pay attention, a powerful person with epic strength seems to be on the way to find you. The other party's purpose is unknown, but it should be malicious. Lady Olena is contacting the headquarters to inquire about the other party's information."
"By the way, the other party is currently riding a streamlined long-distance airship and is moving rapidly towards the elf town of Bashalan."
"Claire, are you talking about a person who is about four meters tall and has huge iron shoulder guards on his shoulders on an airship?"
As soon as the voice fell, the other side of the thin sheet fell into a brief silence.
"Yes. Could it be that the captain has met the other party?" Claire's mind was a little confused.
Could it be that the person is Captain Ryan's friend?
But judging from various signs, it doesn't seem like it.
"Well, I guess I have met him."
Ryan turned his head and looked at Bostaf, who was nailed to the blade spear and motionless, and said.
"Is he your friend?" Claire asked cautiously.
"No."
"Then you have to be careful, the opponent is very strong
." "You don't have to be careful."
"He is right next to me now, and he can no longer pose a threat to me."
"Huh?"
For a moment, the three women on the other side of the sheet had a question mark on their foreheads.
"In short, he has been killed by me." As if he heard Claire's confused tone, Ryan added another sentence and said at that time.
Suddenly, the other side of the sheet fell into silence for a long time.
After a few seconds, Olena coughed and took the slice, saying, "Lord Ryan, I'm really sorry. We were unable to give you the information in time due to communication problems."
"It's okay. By the way, I also killed the vice-pope of the Secret Snake Cult, an epic strongman named Quileute. At the same time, I also saved the pure-blooded elves and centaurs in the town of Bashalan."
The three women opposite the slice were stunned and had no idea what to say.
"Then Lord Ryan, what do you need us to do?" Olena, who had seen big scenes, was now unsteady in her tone.
"Well, Olena, please contact the headquarters. I have a basic understanding of the situation in Ferdinand Forest. Aldilan, the mayor of Bashalan Town."
After Ryan told Olena the news he learned from Aldilan and other pure-blooded elves, it took a long time before he heard the reply from the other side:
"Lord Ray Ryan, the information you obtained is too important in my opinion."
"With your intelligence support, I think the Sword Bearer Headquarters and even the top leaders of the empire will make subsequent decisions much easier." From Olena's trembling tone, it is not difficult to hear her excitement at the moment.
