Chapter 84 Fusion
"Master Priest, it will probably take about a month." The answer came from a slender figure wearing knight armor standing in the center of the underground hall.
Why slender?
That's because the other party's height is more than two meters and two, but his limbs are very "slender" even under the armor.
To others, his legs are like the slender thighs of a "grasshopper". Although slender, they are very elastic.
In addition, the weapon he carries on his back is also very strange. It is a serrated scimitar weapon about two meters long, like a sickle.
However, it is obvious that he is not the person with the highest status in the underground hall, because he is reporting to the person called the priest who is sitting in the shadows beside him, bowing slightly.
"It's running out of time. I feel that the Lord's will is gradually reviving. The Black Flame Prayer Ceremony needs to be held as soon as possible!"
"Hold the ceremony within half a month to cooperate with the Lord's further revival!"
"This... Yes, Master Priest. However, if we further intensify the efforts to obtain 'materials', it will inevitably cause some unrest and further attention from the imperial officials."
"Haha, those greedy nobles, now it's time for them to play a role." There was some sarcasm in the priest's low tone.
"Uh, Master Priest, when it comes to those nobles, they seem to be a little unable to hold back."
The black shadow waved his hand and said, "Take twelve more bottles of 'God's Blood' to appease them. It would be best if these nobles could cooperate with you."
"If they find excuses to shirk responsibility, at least let them turn a blind eye."
"Let the gangs below hurry up these days, and at the same time, increase the bounty."
"Finally, you make preparations. If it's really too late, hold a blood sacrifice!"
"Blood sacrifice, Master Priest. The last time there was quite a commotion in the town of Monem, it was said that the 'Sword Bearer' is very concerned about this matter."
The priest waved his withered right hand and said, "I have sensed the Lord's response to my prayers."
"You go and contact Alonso. As the noble who is most eager to participate in the Black Flame Ceremony and obtain the Lord's blessing, you always need to do something."
"Yes, Master Priest!"
"By the way, have you sent people to investigate how the Hyena Gang was destroyed?"
"Was it the work of the empire's 'Sword Bearer'?" When mentioning the word 'Sword Bearer', the high priest's voice became noticeably more serious.
"No, according to our on-site inspection, most of the members of the Hyena Gang who died died of poison. This method does not seem to be done by the 'Sword Bearer'."
"In addition, there are dozens of 'materials' in the Hyena Gang's base in the county city. If it was the 'Sword Bearer', the other party would not have ended so hastily. They must have had a comprehensive plan before taking action and would have rescued these people." "
It should be a vendetta or an accidental incident. Perhaps the Hyena Gang offended a wandering knight or a noble."
"That's right. The wound marks are rather strange. They don't look like wounds caused by a dagger or a short sword. Instead, they look like wounds caused by a broadsword or an axe."
The black shadow nodded and said, "It's okay if it's not. Weapons vary from person to person. It's good that it's not the 'Sword Bearer'!"
"Speed up, otherwise when the empire reacts, I'm afraid we won't have such a good opportunity again!"
"Yes, Master Priest, I'll do it now."
The slender figure saluted slightly and turned to leave the underground hall.
At this moment, only the chief priest was left in the hall.
At this time, with the weak light of the wall lamp in the distance, it can be vaguely seen that his body under the black robe is obviously abnormally bloated, which is in sharp contrast with his withered arms.
——That
afternoon, Ryan began to practice the imperial military swordsmanship seriously.
Of course, he could no longer go to the woodland near his home.
But fortunately, the military swordsmanship uses a one-handed sword, which means that Ryan only needs a small area to practice.
Ryan thought for a moment, asked Anna for the key, and went to Anna's house alone with the half-hand sword issued by the night watchman.
After he moved the table and chairs slightly, it became a good indoor practice venue.
Since Ryan had the basic swordsmanship level 4 (578/1000), he got started with military swordsmanship faster than he expected.
Not long after, the system prompt appeared:
[You have practiced the Imperial Military Swordsmanship, and your understanding has improved! ]
[You have learned a new skill - Imperial Military Swordsmanship]
[Your skill Imperial Military Swordsmanship has been improved, and your experience value has increased by 1]
[It is detected that the host has practiced the basic swordsmanship of the same one-handed sword technique. Is it true/not to integrate it into the Imperial Military Swordsmanship? This integration will consume 0 skill points. 】
(Note: After fusion, the basic swordsmanship will not be displayed on the panel, but the host can still use related swordsmanship.)
(Note: After fusion, the Imperial Military Swordsmanship will absorb the advantages of the basic swordsmanship and improve it, and the host's experience points in the basic swordsmanship will be converted into the experience points of the improved Imperial Military Swordsmanship at a certain ratio.)
The first three prompts did not change, but the fourth completely different system prompt content obviously caught Ryan's attention.
"They are all one-handed swordsmanship, so they can be fused?"
"No wonder there was no such prompt information when I practiced the two-handed swordsmanship 'Giant Bear Swordsmanship' before."
"Also, fusion should have consumed skill points. Is it because the basic swordsmanship and the Imperial Military Swordsmanship have some kind of connection, or is it because the basic swordsmanship is too basic? So it shows that it consumes 0 points?"
A series of questions naturally popped up in Ryan's mind.
Obviously, if it is necessary to consume skill points, Ryan is unlikely to choose fusion at present.
Because the current 1 skill point, whether used in breathing or giant bear swordsmanship, can bring substantial improvement to Ryan.
Of course, if the consumption is 0 this time, Ryan thought for a while and chose yes.
Then, the basic swordsmanship level 4 (578/1000) on the night watchman panel disappeared, and the Imperial Military Swordsmanship level 2 (128/300) was displayed instead.
More than half of the basic swordsmanship level 4 was converted into less than half of the Imperial Military Swordsmanship level 2.
But this has made Ryan look happy, because it has saved him at least ten days and a half months of hard training.
Almost at the same time, some scattered memories of practicing the Imperial Military Swordsmanship flashed through Ryan's mind and gradually integrated into Ryan's muscle memory.
After a while, Ryan keenly discovered that the Imperial Military Swordsmanship he used was slightly different from the Imperial Military Swordsmanship on the parchment scroll. The angle of the sword was more tricky and the power seemed to be greater.
This should be what the system prompts said. After integration, the Imperial Military Swordsmanship has absorbed the advantages of basic swordsmanship and improved it.
However, it should be because the basic swordsmanship is too basic, so this improvement is very small.
If it weren't for Ryan's keen perception, he really wouldn't have noticed it.
At this time, Mint's crisp voice came from the door: "Brother, Uncle Willen is here to see you."
When Ryan heard it, he immediately stopped practicing the Imperial Military Swordsmanship, opened the door and walked out.
The middle-aged man in black leather armor in front of him was the captain of the Night Watch, Willen, who was familiar to Ryan.
When Mint saw Ryan coming out, he smiled sweetly at Willen, jumped back and started digging in the small yard with Anna. With the "Cookie" that popped out from time to time, the two people and the dog created a very warm atmosphere.
"Ryan, why are you at Anna's house?" Willen asked curiously, glancing at the room behind the door.
"Haha, Captain Willen, is there something wrong?"
Willen looked at Ryan deeply and said, "Ryan, I have good news to tell you!"
