Chapter 285 Talent Enhancement (Two chapters in one)
"It's really an ancient legend of the cult. Thasa can smell the smell of the other party's rotten soul."
Ryan looked up at the voice and saw a woman in a dark red wizard robe floating down from the back of the red dragon.
The other party's wizard robe seemed to have been specially tailored, with a wide neckline, squeezing a pair of white and tall weapons, giving people the feeling that they were about to burst out.
In contrast, the waist was much thinner.
The hem of the wizard robe was very long, dragging all the way to the heels, but the slit was very high, almost to the thigh root, and I don't know if it was for the convenience of riding the dragon.
This bold and somewhat subtle dressing style made Ryan couldn't help but look at the other party's face carefully.
The other party had a high nose bridge, a pair of blue-purple eyes that were extremely deep and energetic, and also had a hint of charm, as if one more look would make people fall into depravity.
On both sides of the light red hair, there was a small hairpin that was not easy to notice. The two strands of hair were wrapped around the back, and the rest of the hair was naturally scattered behind the back.
The overall feeling given to Ryan was that in addition to her beauty, it was difficult to judge her age. It
was okay to say that she was in her twenties, thirty, or forty.
At this time, Viscount Felke, the deputy captain of the Griffin Squadron of the Munster Province, who was wearing light gold armor, immediately stepped forward and bowed, saying: "Your Highness Menia, Felke Finch, salute you."
"Oh, you are the youngest son of the Finch family. I remember I held you when I was a child." Menia looked at Viscount Felke and said with a look of realization.
This made Felke blush slightly, and said: "Yes, Your Highness."
But obviously, Menia's focus this time was not on Felke. She only heard her say:
"This ancient legend of the cult should have been killed by you? It's really a hero in his youth."
When Menia said this, she showed appreciation on her face, and at the same time, a pair of extremely penetrating eyes focused on Ryan.
"Your Highness, I greet you." Ryan bowed slightly and said.
"Yes, Your Highness Menia, this is Lord Ryan of the Munster Sword Bearer Branch. It was he who killed this cult legend." Claire walked forward and bowed.
Menia glanced at Claire and nodded: "Hello, descendant of the Habsburg family."
"Huh?" Menia was still curiously looking at Ryan up and down, and suddenly, with a look of surprise on her face, she said.
"Ryan, maybe you haven't realized that you are cursed by this cult legend."
Hmm?
Curse?
Ryan was stunned when he heard it, and immediately opened the attribute panel to check.
Sure enough, the first line read: "Ryan Kalan (Evil Flame Mark)"
and he had been paying attention to the remaining attribute points at the bottom of the panel, so he didn't notice it.
No wonder, although he just used the special skills of the beast sacrifice to recover from his injuries, he always felt that something was wrong.
However, the word used on the attribute panel is "mark", not "curse".
Ryan didn't know if this was just a difference in the system's expression.
"Excuse me, sir, is there any way to remove this curse?" Ryan asked with a somewhat ugly face.
"Removing curses is not my specialty. Generally speaking, the Goddess Church can help you remove this curse."
However, Menia thought about it and changed her words: "Forget it, let me do it. I can still remove the curse of a legend."
"The Great Flame Spirit" Menia sang in a low voice, waving the cane inlaid with fiery red crystals in her hand.
As Menia pointed with the cane, a circle of red fire suddenly lit up on Ryan's body.
But the strange thing is.
The next second, the fire ring suddenly broke apart and disappeared into the air.
Huh?
Menia's beautiful eyes opened wide, her cherry mouth opened slightly, and she looked at her ineffective curse removal technique with a look of astonishment.
"How could this be?"
"How is this possible, could it be that..."
Menia quickly came to the dead ancient hero Munger, and the high-slit wizard robe revealed the charming scenery inside the robe while walking.
When Menia squatted down to check, her exaggerated waist-to-hip ratio was revealed to the fullest.
Soon, Menia frowned slightly, turned to look at Ryan and said,
"Young man, it seems that I can't help you solve your problem. Because what was imposed on you was not a curse, but a mark, which means that this is actually an epic master."
"What!" Viscount Felke's eyes bulged out in surprise, and he looked at Ryan with an expression as if he had seen a ghost!
"An epic master?" Claire opened her mouth slightly, her beautiful eyes widened, and she was completely shocked!
"Oh my God!" Deputy Minister of Affairs Olena followed behind, also covering her mouth with her hands, with a dull look on her face.
Menia's words, while causing an uproar, the surrounding guards were more confused.
What does an epic master mean?
Obviously, this is also a blind spot in most people's knowledge.
Because they have never heard of it.
Including Ryan, everyone was also confused.
"Didn't I kill a legendary warrior?"
"How did you become an epic warrior again?"
"Only an epic warrior can cast a mark, so the opponent's true strength should be epic. But the opponent is likely to have been sealed for too long, and his strength has been greatly reduced."
"Your Highness Menia, is there any way to remove the mark on me?"
"Of course, you can go to the imperial capital, many imperial guardians can remove the curse on you."
"Is it only possible to go to the imperial capital?" Ryan frowned slightly.
"That's not the case. Perhaps, you can try to find the Archbishop of Munster to see if he can use the prayer ritual to remove the mark."
"By the way, Ryan, don't worry too much. I feel a violent and restless force about this mark."
"The effect of this mark is that it will make your temper more and more irritable, and finally, completely lose yourself."
"However, since the opponent's strength has been greatly reduced, the strength of the mark on you is not very strong. It is more of a subtle influence. It will take at least several months or even half a year to slowly change your temperament."
Ryan nodded.
What a vicious mark.
This kind of mark is much more difficult to guard against than the general curse that reduces physical fitness.
If he didn't have the system panel, he wouldn't know that he was hit.
However, if it takes a few months, there is no need to be particularly anxious.
"What a lucky young man." Menia looked at the warhammer in Ryan's hand and said.
"Then the warhammer in your hand should be the opponent's titled holy weapon."
"Titled holy weapon?" Ryan asked puzzledly.
He just felt that the other party's weapon should be extraordinary, but he didn't know what level this weapon was.
"Well, the blue and white square warhammer, this shape is quite unique. Perhaps, you can look for the Monsoon and Ocean Goddess Church, there should be relevant information there." Menia nodded and said.
"Ryan, you look like you are not yet twenty years old, right? You are such an excellent young man, and now you have begun to touch the glory of will. This situation is very rare even in the entire empire."
"Perhaps, you can consider joining the Royal Griffin Guard."
"If you are interested, you can take Tassa's scale and go to the imperial capital to find General Clifford." Menia said while taking out a piece of red dragon scale.
Ryan took the floating red dragon scale, but the whole person froze slightly, and then said: "Thank you, Your Highness Menia."
"Well, since there is no problem here, I have to go back to the front line." Menia nodded to everyone, and then performed the floating spell again, slowly flying onto the back of the red dragon.
The huge red dragon then spread its wide flesh wings and flapped it to fly into the sky.
Soon, its huge body began to reflect light like transparent glass, and it became flickering.
The next second, it suddenly disappeared in mid-air.
"This is the effect of invisibility. There are more dragon knights in the imperial capital, but in order to avoid the huge dragons disturbing ordinary residents, and to avoid potential enemies knowing too much about the whereabouts of the imperial dragon knights."
"Basically, every dragon knight will cover up the traces of himself and his dragons." Claire explained to Ryan.
"Miss Claire is knowledgeable, it is true." Viscount Felke smiled at Ryan and nodded.
Olena, who was standing by, looked at Ryan with worry.
She was not worried about the mark Ryan had been hit with, because His Highness Menia had just explained the problem of the mark very clearly.
Although even His Highness Menia could not help Ryan to remove it for the time being, both the imperial guardians and His Excellency the Archbishop of Munster had the ability to help remove it.
Olena was worried about His Highness Menia's recruitment of Ryan.
You know, the Munster Sword Bearer Division finally had a top talent like Ryan, who is also a top talent at the imperial level. If he was poached like this,
Admiral Edward would be very regretful.
No!
She had to report this situation immediately and suggest that the higher-ups must maximize the various treatment and reward conditions.
"Sir Ryan, you won't choose to join the Royal Griffin Guard, right?" Olena stepped forward and said to Ryan with a little anxiety.
"Hmm? Sir Olena, isn't the Royal Griffin Guard good?" Ryan, who was still staring at the red dragon scales, couldn't help but feel a little strange about Olena's question.
"This." Olena wanted to say that of course it was not good, but she glanced at Viscount Felke, the Griffin Knight, and didn't know what to say for a while.
At this time, Ryan's mind was not on whether to join the Royal Griffin Guard.
Because when he touched the red dragon scales just now, he got a system prompt:
[Ding! It is detected that the host has touched the dragon scales, triggering a special advanced job transfer-Dragon Knight (Epic)! 】
【The prerequisites for changing to Dragon Knight (Epic) are: 1. Contract any dragon; 2. Behemoth Knight level 5 or above; ??? The current conditions are not met! Failed to change to Dragon Knight (Epic)! 】
At this time, Langgel and Fry rushed out of the tunnel, their faces covered with dust, looking quite dirty.
The guards on the side were also a little discouraged.
"Sir Ryan, I'm really sorry that Freeman was seriously injured by us, but the other party in the tunnel cast a powerful witchcraft and blew up the tunnel. For a while, we didn't have a good solution." Langer blushed a little.
As a captain of the gold-level sword bearers, he patted his chest and promised before chasing, but the result now is that the enemy is still not dealt with.
"It's okay, Captain Langer, you have worked hard too, take a good rest." Ryan didn't care.
When the other party rushed into the tunnel, Ryan felt it was difficult to keep the other party.
First of all, because of the special terrain in the tunnel, once it collapsed, if you want to open it again, unless there is an earth wizard, otherwise, it will all depend on God's plan, and the person would have run away long ago.
Secondly, the strength of this Freeman of the Black Flame Church is still above Laxul. Although he has no fighting spirit now, it is not easy to kill the other party.
Especially if the other party is determined to escape, even if he chases him personally, it may not be successful.
It is already a very good result to severely injure the other party.
After greeting everyone, Ryan returned to his room.
Ryan began to think about what Menia had just said.
Being a member of the Royal Griffin Guard, with both honor and opportunity, is the best choice in the eyes of most knights.
But in fact, Ryan knew best that he could quickly improve his strength, thanks to the various tasks organized by the Sword Bearer Organization.
Without the battles, he would not have been able to improve so quickly.
Ryan still enjoyed his current status in the Sword Bearer.
The initiative of the task is basically in his own hands. Although there are assigned tasks, the frequency is very low, less than once a month.
In addition, he has just joined the Munster Sword Bearer branch and has just come into contact with many things.
Therefore, in the short term, he is unlikely to consider going to the imperial capital.
However, speaking of this, he has to go back to Munster as soon as possible.
"First of all, of course, we have to get rid of the evil flame mark, otherwise, it will always be a hidden danger."
"However, with the golden conch medal, I wonder if Archbishop Gomes of the Goddess Church can help me remove the curse?"
"But I think it shouldn't be a big problem. If it doesn't work, I can ask the Sword Bearer Branch to come forward."
In addition, after returning to the branch, I will see if there are any quasi-legendary instructors who have mastered the will. If there are, even if it costs a lot of merit points, Ryan plans to ask for advice.
Because although he now knows a way to master the glory of will, that is, to improve through fighting.
But Ryan always feels that the predecessors should have some methods to speed up this process.
Finally, after submitting the task this time, he should have more than enough task evaluation medals and points, and he can consider asking some great knight instructors as sparring partners to improve the newly mastered extraordinary combat skills.
After seeing the power of the core skills of the Warhammer Wizard (Legend) profession, Ryan felt that he should meet the promotion conditions of the only epic profession at present, the King of Thousand Blades, as soon as possible.
Now the prerequisite 1, 'Weapon Master lv9 or above', has been met.
The next is the prerequisite 2
, 'Mastering nine different mysteries'. This item will take a lot of time to improve.
This is why Ryan has been hesitant about the talent points before.
If 'Primary Weapon Mastery (Passive)' and 'Primary Supernatural Comprehension (Passive)' are both upgraded to intermediate talents.
Then, not only will the power of the mysteries displayed by other weapons be improved, but the speed of practicing supernatural combat skills will also be further improved.
In short, it can meet the promotion conditions of the epic profession 'King of Thousand Blades' in a shorter time.
"But... there is only one life!"
Ryan thought of the fact that he was marked.
"But if something special happens during this period, then improving defense and combat power is still the most important!"
After thinking for a while, Ryan decided to choose to upgrade 'Intermediate Steel Body (Passive)'.
Because he guessed last time that the talent steel body, after being upgraded from primary to intermediate, also led to the improvement of his affinity for metal elements.
You know, for ordinary wizards, elemental affinity is determined at birth.
But he can improve his elemental affinity by improving his talent.
This means that once his talent steel body is upgraded to a high level, his affinity for metal elements will be further improved, and the power of the metal-based witchcraft he casts will also be improved.
From this perspective, adding points to his talent steel body not only improves his defense, but also his attack power.
After making up his mind, Ryan silently recited "Intermediate Steel Body (Passive)" in his heart.
In an instant, a strange heat flowed through his body. Ryan stretched out his right hand and looked down. He saw that the skin of his right hand suddenly lit up with a rich silver-gray metallic halo.
This halo rippled like water lines, and after a few seconds, the halo gradually converged.
At this time, a system prompt appeared:
[Congratulations, your talent "Intermediate Steel Body (Passive)" has been upgraded to "Advanced Steel Body (Passive)"! ]
Seeing the first newly generated high-level talent on the attribute panel, Ryan couldn't help but smile brightly.
That night, in Munster
, in the underground of the Sword Bearer Branch, in the brightly lit intelligence hall.
Due to the recent turbulence in the Empire, the hall was busy at the moment, with dozens of staff members coming and going, almost too busy to touch the ground.
The duty leader of the intelligence hall tonight was still the bald middle-aged Colin, the deputy minister with a small belly.
He leaned back against the soft and spacious suede chair, crossed his legs on the desk, leisurely sipping a cup of Yotun black tea, with an expression of taking a break from his busy schedule.
"Knock, knock!"
"Sir Colin, here is an urgent intelligence from Ms. Olena, the Deputy Minister of Mission Hall Affairs." A cute female staff member walked to the door quickly, knocked on the door, and reported in a slightly hurried tone.
"Huh? It's from Olena? Read!" Colin frowned and took another sip of Yotun black tea. He didn't know how Olena could have urgent information.
And as the Deputy Minister of Mission Hall Affairs, shouldn't Olena stay in the Sword Bearer Branch and handle official business honestly?
Why did she go outside?
It seems that the work of the Mission Hall is really leisurely.
".Meist, the residence of Count Habsburg was attacked by an ancient legendary warrior, 'Ancient Hero Monger', whose strength has not yet fully recovered from the Black Flame Cult."
".The captain of our gold-level swordsman, Lord Ryan, killed the ancient hero Monger on the spot in a one-on-one fight."
"Puff~" Colin sprayed the Yoton black tea in his mouth on the young and pretty female employee in front of him.
Especially the other party's chest, which was even more wet, but Colin did not take the opportunity to wipe it off, but froze in place.
When Colin heard the previous sentence about the legendary warrior of the cult, his face changed!
He thought that the following must be a report of how many people died, and it was very likely that Count Habsburg had also encountered misfortune.
Even the entire Count's residence, no one survived and other tragic situations.
Who knew that the next sentence would suddenly take a turn, saying that Ryan killed the cult legend on the spot?
Wait?
Ryan?
Is it the newcomer Ryan, Ryan, who has not been in the branch for two months?
"You just mentioned Ryan? The Ryan nicknamed 'Meist Battering Ram'?"
Ever since Ryan killed Galina, the chief priest of the Black Flame Cult in Wales County, and destroyed a golem guard, Colin has remembered Ryan's name.
The cute female staff took out a tissue and wiped the red tea foam on the white weapon. She looked at her boss and said with a little anger: "Yes, Lord Colin."
"Legendary strongman? Seriously injured?"
"Yes."
"That's amazing! It's so amazing!"
"It's not long since he joined the Sword Bearer, and he's already this powerful? Really... his future is limitless." Colin, the deputy minister of affairs, touched his bald baldness and couldn't help but sigh.
At this time, the knock on the door sounded again, and another female staff member was anxiously waiting at the door.
"Come in!"
"What's the matter? Go ahead."
"Uh, Lord Colin, this...can't be said."
"This is an urgent intelligence from the Undersecretary of Affairs Olena in the Mission Hall, and it is marked as confidential. Currently, you are the only one who has the authority to view it in the entire Intelligence Hall." The female staff looked around and said.
Ordinary staff in the Intelligence Hall have no right to view confidential intelligence. According to regulations, only the Undersecretary of Affairs and above can view it.
"Huh? Olena again?" Colin was stunned.
After Colin took it, he waved his hand and asked the two female staff to step back.
He first checked whether the red wax was intact according to regulations, and then checked whether the seal ring mark on the red wax was consistent with the sender before opening the envelope.
After a few seconds, Colin, who had read the confidential intelligence, was extremely shocked, his eyes widened, and his mouth opened wide.
Seeing the expression of their boss, the two female staff couldn't help but look at each other, and guessed in their hearts, could it be that something major happened to Meister? Is the cult so powerful?
Colin's mind was buzzing at this moment!
Several key words lingered in Colin's mind,
'His Royal Highness Menia, the Imperial Dragon Knight', 'Epic Powerful Man', 'Title Holy Artifact'.
No matter which word, it should be extremely far away from a new sword-wielding rookie.
But now, they all revolve around a newcomer!
"Lord Colin?"
"Lord? According to regulations, confidential intelligence must be reported to the higher-ups as soon as possible. Have you forgotten?" the female staff member asked cautiously.
"Oh, that's right!" Colin, who reacted, patted his shiny forehead and said, "I'll go to Admiral Edward and be back soon."
"Okay, Lord Colin!"
Colin quickly moved his slightly bloated body and trotted out of the intelligence hall.
