Chapter 185 Prerequisites for Promotion to [Great Knight (Extraordinary)] (Two chapters in one)
From the system warning, Ryan knew that the key to this should be the mental power. The key words are the difference between "solidification" and "activation".
After thinking about it, Ryan soon understood that it was probably because the swordsman path needed to solidify the mental power in order to pursue a certain extreme attack power of the sword.
"By the way, Master Gunther mentioned the 'will radiance' before. Will the mental power solidification be a necessary step or condition for generating the 'will radiance'?" Ryan couldn't help but murmured.
After thinking about it, he shook his head again. He didn't know much about the swordsman path, and the above was just a guess.
However, he was more clear about one thing, because he was now at the peak of the second-level wizard apprentice and was about to enter the third-level wizard apprentice level, so Ryan had a vague feeling about the wizard path.
That is, one of the necessary conditions for the wizard path should be the activation of mental power, so as to meet the need to mobilize various mysterious energy particles.
Therefore, the wizard profession and the swordsman profession are not compatible with each other, and seem to be two completely different paths.
Obviously, the path of swordsmanship is likely to have a bright future, as can be seen from Master Gunther!
However, Master Gunther should not only be a swordsman, but also a level after the swordsman, a great swordsman? Ryan thought.
No matter what it is called, the swordsman must have a career path with super high attack power. As for the final career, Ryan made a blind guess, maybe it would be a "sword saint" or something like that.
"You can't have your cake and eat it too!"
"What a pity!"
For a time traveler like Ryan, the mysterious wizard path has a special meaning to him.
Then I can only give up the path of swordsmanship for the time being!
Maybe there will be a chance in the future?
"I don't know if there are puppets, clones, etc. in high-level witchcraft. In this case, it's not completely impossible."
Ryan, standing in front of the corpse of the offshore plesiosaur, was thinking about it.
At this time, Master Gunther was not far away, in the sea water at the outermost edge of the cave, but he was in a very rare state of shock.
A few minutes ago, before he entered the cave, he felt the sudden vibration in the cave.
At that time, he was shocked and wondered why Ryan suddenly became so reckless. He didn't observe carefully when he just came in, and he directly fought with the offshore plesiosaur.
This made him speed up in the passage!
But when he surfaced to rescue, he was stunned!
Because what caught his eyes was that the offshore plesiosaur, which was huge and as powerful as a great knight, was already lying in a pool of blood!
So fast?
Thirty seconds?
This.
It took him a long time to come back to his senses!
Ryan had already killed the offshore plesiosaur!
Although he had overestimated Ryan as much as possible before, in the end, Master Gunther found that he still underestimated Ryan!
"Cough!"
Master Gunther coughed, which immediately attracted the attention of Ryan who was concentrating on thinking on the beach.
Ryan turned his head quickly, and was stunned at first, but then he found that it was Master Gunther, and he immediately showed surprise.
"Master, why are you here?"
Immediately, Ryan figured out something.
"Trial of Faith" is the fifth training task arranged by Master Gunther. Since it is training, the apprentice will not really risk certain death.
But what is special is that the purpose of the training of "Trial of Faith" is to allow the apprentice to feel the brink of despair, so as to inspire faith, fully mobilize the original force, and survive from death!
In this case, obviously, Master Gunther cannot tell the apprentice in advance that "I am actually following you and will protect you."
Therefore, Master Gunther should have followed in immediately after he dived into the underwater cave to avoid his death in the mouth of the offshore plesiosaur.
After understanding this, Ryan's heart was warmed.
As for what if the master saw his bulging muscles in the "triple state", it didn't matter.
Ryan had already thought of a reason, which can be classified as his knight's extraordinary characteristic "huge strength", and his extraordinary characteristics are more powerful.
"I wanted to protect you, but now it seems that my worry is unnecessary."
Master Gunther's words confirmed Ryan's guess.
"By the way, how did you kill this offshore plesiosaur?" Master Gunther walked up to it, looked at the plesiosaur lying in a pool of blood, and circled around to check the cause of death.
When he found that the plesiosaur died from a sword that split its head, his eyes suddenly flashed!
This is
"Master, when I was killing the plesiosaur just now, I was facing a life-and-death crisis. It was very sudden. I mobilized all the force in my body and injected it into the sword in my hand."
"I originally thought that I could use the force to escape with one sword! But I didn't expect that I could split the opponent's hardest beak and head in half with one sword." Ryan also had doubts in his heart at this time. Hearing Master Gunther's initiative to ask, he asked it out.
He also wanted to know what happened with the sword just now.
Because just now, after killing the plesiosaur, he tried a few more times. Although he was handy in mobilizing the force, it seemed that the power was very different from that sword at that time.
"Ryan, you have surprised me again. How about it, are you interested in staying here to pursue the path of Sword Saint?" Master Gunther did not answer Ryan's question directly, but smiled and invited him.
Sword Saint?
Ryan's eyes suddenly widened and he looked at the other party.
It was indeed a Sword Saint!
It turns out that Master Gunther lived in semi-seclusion on the Gold Coast in order to pursue the path of the Sword Master.
But
the master's path is incompatible with that of a wizard! Ryan's heart burst into tears. Although he really liked the path of the Sword Master with high attack power, he could only refuse it at the moment.
"Master, thank you for your appreciation, but I would like to travel around for the time being. Maybe one day, when I can calm down, I will come to the Gold Coast again and seek your guidance." Ryan bowed and said seriously.
"Okay! Young people should really go out and take a look first! Studying swordsmanship also requires concentration." After hearing what Ryan said, Master Gunther thought about it and nodded, seeming to agree.
Gunther did not persuade Ryan to stay, but explained the sword that Ryan had just used:
"The sword you used just now actually combined your belief in the sword with the Force. In layman's terms, this is the sword's edge, an ability that only a sword master can master."
"In essence, it is actually your belief in the sword that is hidden in the Force. At that moment, the ordinary Force became the Force of the Sword, which has a more powerful destructive power than the ordinary Force."
"I see, thank you Master for clearing up my confusion!" Ryan bowed slightly.
The Force of the Sword?
Sure enough, it was almost the same as he had speculated. The path of sword master, great sword master, sword saint, was indeed closely related to the sword, and the ultimate goal should be to pursue the ultimate destructive power of the sword!
"By the way, Master Gunther, shall we go back now?"
"Wait, this adult offshore plesiosaur is a good thing. As a large ferocious sea beast, it can be said to be full of treasures." Master Gunther said with a smile.
"Especially the opponent's heart, which can be used to make 'Giant Essence', a magic potion that is essential for a knight to be promoted to a Grand Knight!"
Hey, attacking a Grand Knight?
Ryan's eyes suddenly lit up. Originally, after he returned this time, he was going to find some knowledge about the subsequent advancement of the knight. He had thought about asking Hamilton before, but later felt that his own progress was too shocking, so he decided to put it off for now.
Unexpectedly, he could hear relevant information from Master Gunther.
Noticing Ryan's surprised look, Gunther thought Ryan was surprised by the word 'Giant', so he smiled and explained: "Haha, what, do you think the plesiosaur is not worthy of the name of a giant beast?"
"In fact, giant beast is just our general term for ferocious beasts with a body length of more than ten meters."
"Its heart contains a special substance. After being extracted by the pharmacist and made into 'Giant Essence', it can be used to match the huge consumption required for the knight to be promoted to a Grand Knight."
Giant Beast Essence?
It sounds like it is almost the same concept as the advanced magic potion that ordinary people take when they enter the Knight (Extraordinary).
I just don't know if there are various subdivisions and details like the advanced potion. Ryan thought.
Just as Ryan was about to continue asking Master Gunther, suddenly, the system prompt refreshed the screen again:
[Ding! Detected that the host listened to the extraordinary secrets, triggering the advanced job transfer - Great Knight (Extraordinary)! ]
[The prerequisites for promotion to Great Knight (Extraordinary) are: 1. The physical limit value reaches 100%; 2. Any breathing method is above lv9; 3. Strength is above 20 points, agility is above 20 points, and constitution is above 20 points; 4. Any melee extraordinary combat skill is above lv9; 5. High-level potion "Behemoth Essence". The current conditions are not met! Promotion to Great Knight (Extraordinary) failed! ]
Hey!
Looking at the system prompt that suddenly popped up, Ryan read it silently several times, and his heart was excited!
He didn't expect that he had just missed the "Sword Master Job Transfer", but after listening to Master Gunther's secrets about the Behemoth Essence and the Force, he actually got the job transfer information to the Great Knight (Extraordinary)!
It really feels like a 'bright future'!
"From several conditions, the Great Knight (Extraordinary) and the Knight (Extraordinary) can be said to be of the same origin, and many of the preconditions are also similar."
"Although the Great Knight seems to be slightly weaker in combat power compared to professions such as swordsmen and great swordsmen with extreme attack power, it does not conflict with the path of wizards. Part-time work is the most important thing to consider."
In addition, several conditions for the promotion to the Great Knight are about to be met or have been met.
For example, condition one, 'the physical limit value reaches 100%,' Ryan looked at the Knight (Extraordinary) panel, and the limit value has reached 95%. This is because after continuously improving the Bear King Breathing Method, five attribute points have been added in succession.
At this moment, there are still three remaining attribute points on the panel, and there is no need to waste skill points. It is only a matter of time to add points to break the limit value of 100%.
In addition, condition two, 'Any Breathing Method lv9', has also been met by myself. Sure enough, the breathing method is not added in vain!
As for the third condition.
Just as Ryan was daydreaming, Master Gunther said, "Let's go! Ryan, the heart of the plesiosaur needs to be processed while it's fresh."
"Okay, Master!" Ryan immediately agreed.
When Ryan emerged from the sea dragging the huge body of the plesiosaur, Basque was stunned.
"Ryan, you...you succeeded so quickly?"
"Or is this..." Basque turned to look at Master Gunther.
Master Gunther knew what Basque meant. Basque was asking if he helped Ryan kill the offshore plesiosaur.
Master Gunther shook his head and said, "Ryan killed it alone! Basque, don't stand there, the blood of the plesiosaur will attract many other ferocious sea beasts, hurry back!"
"Okay! Master!"
Although Basque agreed, he still couldn't hide his surprise. He tied the body of the plesiosaur to the back of the boat and started paddling quickly.
However, while paddling, Basque's eyes alternated between the huge plesiosaur corpse that rose and fell in the sea from time to time, and Ryan, who was calm on the boat, and he was horrified!
When the three arrived at the shore of the island, Ryan found that seven or eight young men, led by Frode with a short haircut, were waiting on the shore.
Apparently, they also got the news, so they were waiting for the result.
Just when the young man named Arturo was about to ask, he suddenly saw the huge corpse rising and falling in the sea water behind the boat from the corner of his eye, and couldn't help but blurt out: "Is this... is this successful?"
Before Ryan could answer, Basque, who had just jumped ashore, raised his chin slightly with pride and said: "Yes! Ryan succeeded!"
"Look, there is the corpse of the plesiosaur, everyone help to lift it up first!"
Suddenly, the eyes of all the young people present were focused on Ryan, with different expressions, some were shocked, some were unbelievable.
After waiting for the huge corpse of the offshore plesiosaur to be lifted ashore, the people who saw the cause of the plesiosaur's death were even more surprised, and their eyes alternated between Ryan and the plesiosaur.
It seemed that they were shocked. Why did Ryan have no scars on his body and kill the large ferocious sea beast without injury?
What kind of strength is this?
This is too scary!
Half an hour later, Ryan put away the wooden box containing the huge heart of the offshore plesiosaur and put it on the brown horse.
This was Master Gunther who helped to deal with it and gave it to him.
As for the other parts of the offshore plesiosaur, such as scales, skin, meat, etc., Ryan kept them to show his gratitude.
"Master, I'm ready to leave now. Thank you for your teaching during this period." Ryan bowed respectfully to Gunther.
Although Ryan and Gunther first met because of Claire's letter of introduction, it is hard to say whether Ryan is more important to Gunther than Claire.
Master Gunther smiled with relief and said, "Go back. You still have a long way to go. Perhaps, I will hear about your deeds soon."
Seven or eight other young people, including Frode and Doug, also said goodbye to Ryan.
Ryan also smiled and nodded to them!
Although he did not have much communication with others in the past twenty days, so the relationship could not be said to be good or bad, but with such a connection with Master Gunther, perhaps, when they meet in the outside world, he should help them.
Basque, who was standing by, enthusiastically helped Ryan put all his luggage on the brown horse and said, "Ryan, I'll take you to the main road."
Ryan nodded, and turned around again and said to Master Gunther and the others, "Master, everyone, I hope we can meet again next time!"
Everyone watched Ryan gradually disappear on the trail, with emotion on their faces!
"Master Gunther, Ryan should be the one who has passed all the training tasks the fastest since you retired, right?" Frode, a short-haired boy, suddenly asked curiously.
Master Gunther smiled and did not answer Frode's question directly. Instead, he encouraged, "There are far more geniuses in this world than you think. Keep going!"
Walking on the trail, Ryan did not get on the horse immediately, but walked forward with the black horse. Basque was standing by, helping Ryan lead the brown horse carrying the luggage.
"By the way, Ryan, you'd better take the main road on the way back and avoid the small paths."
"Recently, Rossby County is not safe. There have been several cases of noble carriages or lone knights being besieged and killed by bandits." At this time, as if remembering something, Basque's face became serious and said.
"Bandits?" Ryan asked back.
"Yes, according to my father's news, it seems that there are shadows of the Zalal resistance behind these bandits. So, Ryan, you must be careful on the way, don't take it lightly thinking that the other party is just an ordinary bandit."
"Thank you! Basque, I will be careful." Facing the boy's kind reminder, Ryan naturally expressed his gratitude.
On the other hand, Ryan's heart was slightly moved.
Zalal resistance?
He immediately thought of the time when he rescued Haas. On the surface, that group of people seemed to be a nearby bandit group.
At the same time, he also thought of his battle in the resistance base in Meister County.
Not only does the other party have some kind of secret connection with multiple bandit groups in the surrounding area, but even the rebels themselves often pretend to be bandit groups and engage in plundering.
It seems that this so-called rebel army has been more and more active recently.
Moreover, from a regional perspective, it seems that the other party is more active in Rossby County than in Mayest County!
Although the rebels that I have fought against before are not very strong, the strongest among them is only a peak knight.
However, such a large rebel organization must have masters at the level of great knights, so we must not take it lightly.
At this time, Basque suddenly looked enlightened, patted his head, and laughed: "I almost forgot, Ryan! You are the one who killed the offshore plesiosaur alone. If the rebels met you."
"They should be worried! Hahaha!"
After listening to what Basque said, Ryan couldn't help but smile.
"Basque, just send it here. Remember to contact me when you have time, or you can come to Mayest County to find me." Ryan turned to Basque and said.
Due to the time they spent together, and the fact that Basque was a nice person and had helped Ryan a lot, the two of them got along quite well.
"Okay, Ryan! Um, Ryan, can you tell Miss Claire a message for me?" Basque rubbed his palms, seeming a little embarrassed.
"Hmm? What message?" Ryan looked at Basque with a puzzled look.
"Um, when you see Miss Claire, ask her if she remembers Basque from the Gold Coast? I hope she can come to the Gold Coast to see Master Gunther when she's free." Basque said shyly.
"Okay! If I can meet her." Ryan was speechless.
Basque's shy look made her look like a shy little girl, which was really speechless for a big and strong man!
Let Claire come to see Master Gunther?
I'm afraid you said that because you want to see Claire and are afraid that Claire will refuse.
In addition, 'Basque from the Gold Coast? 'What the hell is this expression?
Why does it sound so much like the phrase 'Xia Yuhe by the Daming Lake' in the previous life?
Ryan didn't think about it anymore, shook his head slightly, turned around, mounted his horse, waved his hand and said, "Let's go! Basque!"
"Goodbye, Ryan!"
Basque stared at Ryan's departing figure, stunned.
At this time, the warm winter sun cast a long shadow on the two horses that Ryan was leaving, which gave Basque a feeling that the direction Ryan was heading was a road to the kingdom of God shining with golden light.
Since he had not received any message from the blue-helmeted pigeon, Ryan felt that his family and the Crowley family in Mayest County should not have encountered any difficult problems.
In this case, Ryan planned to visit Haas on the way back.
In the past twenty days on the Gold Coast, Ryan could be said to have gained a lot, so he was in a very good mood at this time.
The Larchmond Fishing Port where Haas was located was just north of the Gold Coast.
And the north was exactly the direction Ryan was heading, which could be said to be completely on the way. Ryan estimated that if he did not take a detour and took the forest trail, he should be able to arrive at the Larchmond Fishing Port in the evening.
"Stew giant thorn salmon?"
Ryan thought of the special food of his hometown that Haas had mentioned last time, which made him smile.
At noon, Ryan found a place to rest in the forest by the road.
He took some roasted dried fish from his bag and chewed it while thinking about the Force.
Along the way, Ryan found through repeated attempts that although he could now mobilize the Force with ease and burst out all the Force at once, he could not use the power of the sword that killed the offshore plesiosaur.
Master Gunther has explained this problem.
Because there is no life-and-death crisis, if the belief is not strong enough, the Force cannot be converted into the more destructive sword force!
The level of this sword force seems to be very high, and it is completely different from the usual sharpness caused by attaching the Force to the sword.
The former is powerful, but it seems to involve the solidification of mental power, while the latter is much less powerful and seems to be just a shallow application of the Force.
However, Ryan is now thinking about another question:
"I attached the Force to the sword, and the effect is to increase the sharpness of the sword. Then, if I attach the Force to the hammer, it can't be to increase the sharpness of the hammer, right?"
"You know, one end of the hammer is flat!"
"So what was I thinking when I attached the Force to the sword?"
Ryan thought while taking the big sword from his back.
Ryan mobilized the Force and swung the big sword.
After practicing the giant bear swordsmanship for a while, suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed through Ryan's mind, and he seemed to understand a little!
At this time, the system prompt sounded:
[Congratulations! You have experienced an epiphany and unlocked the additional special effect of melee combat skills: Sharpness lv1 (passive)]
[Sharpness lv1 (passive) effect: You have a preliminary understanding of the nature of the Force, and can freely mobilize the Force to enhance the power of the long sword in your hand, making it slightly sharper. 】
(Note: This effect is only effective when the host has the Force and the Force is not exhausted, and is only effective when the host holds a sharp weapon.)
(Note: This effect is an additional special effect of melee combat skills. After meeting the conditions, the next level will be automatically unlocked.)
Ryan couldn't help but be overjoyed!
Immediately, Ryan focused his attention on the icon representing the Giant Bear Swordsmanship. He saw that the special effects attached to the Giant Bear Swordsmanship this time were indeed increased:
Giant Bear Swordsmanship lv7 (3023/5000), with special effects 'Precision lv2' and 'Sharpness lv2'.
[Precision lv2 (passive) effect:.]
[Sharpness lv2 (passive) effect: You have a further understanding of the nature of the Force, and can freely mobilize the Force to enhance the power of the long sword in your hand, making its sharpness slightly improved. ]
(Note: To unlock the sharpness lv3 of the Giant Bear Swordsmanship, the following conditions must be met: 1. Giant Bear Swordsmanship lv9 or above; 2. Bear King Breathing Method lv9 or above.)
It comes with two special effects!
Ryan carefully read the above text description. The descriptions of sharpness and precision are similar. Compared with lv1, the main change of lv2 is that "slightly" has become "small".
But the conditions for unlocking are different!
After thinking for a while, Ryan planned to try the Tokkar Hammer Technique. Since the Force applied to the sword will have a sharp effect, what about applying it to the hammer?
Although Ryan already had some kind of guess, he still had to try it to know! At
this time, Ryan's ears moved slightly!
Then, the lv3 level of danger perception began to give him a warning, but this sense of crisis was not strong, so Ryan did not turn his head to check, but continued to calmly wipe the glimmering giant sword in his hand.
In the dense forest dozens of meters away.
A dozen strong men dressed as mercenaries were lurking. They had different weapons in their hands, but they all had a calm breath and a sturdy face.
One of the strong men dressed as mercenaries was holding a single-tube copper tube mirror and checking Ryan!
However, it seems that he took into account that the perception of the formal knight who has entered the extraordinary stage is sharp, so after a few glances, the sturdy man quickly shifted his sight and stopped staring at Ryan.
"Another formal knight who is alone, but judging from his swordsmanship, he seems to be an expert!"
"Tsk! How good can he be? Look at his appearance, he is obviously not even 18 years old! Don't tell me that this guy can be a top knight?" A burly man sneered.
"That's right, Scar is right. How strong can he be? We can use crossbows to shoot him into a sieve with a volley of arrows first!"
"Yeah, carrying a big sword and a giant hammer, it looks intimidating! But he doesn't even wear knight plate armor. He is probably still a rookie knight and has no field experience at all."
