Chapter 233: Five Levels Up (Two Chapters in One)

When Ren saw it, he chose yes without hesitation!

【Ding! Job transfer successful! 】

[Transfer to Breaking Bad (Supernatural) successfully! Constitution -2, Agility +1, Spirit +2! Obtain the core skills of Breaking Bad (Extraordinary): Deadly Poison lv1 (passive), Anti-Poison Constitution lv1 (passive). 】

[Deadly Poison lv1 (Passive): Because you have been studying poison production for many years, your poison is extremely powerful, and the damage caused is increased by an additional %. At the same time, your poison is removed by witchcraft such as antidote or 'poison exorcism'. The difficulty is slightly increased. 】

[Anti-poison constitution lv1 (passive): Because you have been exposed to poisons all year round, you have strong resistance to ordinary poisons, and your resistance to potent and above poisons is slightly improved. 】

Hey!
Constitution -2?

Renn stared blankly at the reminder message for this job change!
He couldn't help but rub his eyes and looked again.

Well, he was pretty sure he saw that right.

Will the change of job also lead to a weakened physique?
No wonder it’s called Breaking Bad, this is really Breaking Bad!
Although 2 points of spirit and 1 point of agility were added, but including the decrease of 2 points in physical fitness, overall, it was only improved by 1 point.

It’s no different from the previous pharmacist’s job change.

Ren, who felt a little speechless, shook his head and continued reading.
There are two core skills, which are pretty good.

"The power of poison has been increased by 30%, okay! Does the system have to push itself in the direction of 'Lime Martial Saint' or 'Poison Sword Master'?"

"However, this anti-toxic constitution is quite useful."

"Boom boom boom!"

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in!"

Just listen to the beautiful woman Jennifer walk in and say: "Dear, it's almost time, we should set off to attend the award ceremony of the Goddess Church."

"Huh? Yes! I almost forgot about it." Ren suddenly realized!
Soon, Ren was wearing a dress carefully prepared by the beautiful woman Jennifer, and the two attended the award ceremony held for him by the Goddess Church.

This time the award ceremony will be more grand than the last one, and many nobles and church leaders in the county will attend.

Soon, Renn arrived at the prayer hall of the temple. At this time, the magnificent vaulted hall was already filled with the Meister County nobles and the higher-ups above the Templars of the Goddess Church.

Colorful flowers were arranged on both sides of the middle aisle and around the hall. Although it was only the Moon of Life, under the divine magic of the Goddess Church, the flowers bloomed brilliantly.

And an old man wearing a large aqua blue robe with thick gold trim and holding a scepter was smiling and looking at Ren and Jennifer as they entered the hall under the relief of the goddess at the front of the hall.

"Baron Lane has made outstanding contributions in many battles with the Black Flame Cult. Especially this time, he directly destroyed the Black Flame Cult's lair in Meister County and killed the cult's chief priest!"

"In recognition of Baron Wren's outstanding contribution in exorcising evil, here, on behalf of the Goddess Church, I would like to award Baron Wren with the Gold Conch Medal!"

While Bishop Sheen spoke generously, he raised a medal that was the size of a woman's fist and shone with golden light from the tray held by the attendant beside him.

Before coming, Ren also learned some knowledge about the medals of the Monsoon and Sea Goddess Church from the mouth of Dean Rudolf, from the iron shell medal, the bronze shell medal, the silver conch medal to this gold conch medal. .

He also learned that this gold conch medal is already the highest level medal that can be awarded by the County Goddess Church.

As for the higher one, it cannot be awarded by Bishop Xion.

This time the gold conch medal is slightly larger than the last silver medal, and it also has a clear conch pattern on it, which is lifelike!

"My child, may the goddess bless you."

"Thank you goddess, thank you Bishop Xion!" Renn took it respectfully with both hands, and with the help of Jennifer, he put it directly on his chest.

"Baron Wren, please keep this medal safe. You can seek and receive help anywhere in the empire as long as there is a temple of the Church of the Monsoon and Ocean Goddess."

"In addition, in addition to solidifying the magic spell 'Detect Evil', this medal also solidifies a magical spell 'Exorcism'. Of course, it can only be used once. After use, it needs to be charged again before it can be used." Rudolph explained from the sidelines.

"Your Excellency Renn, I heard that you are going to Münster soon to take the imperial sword-wielding examination. There is also a blessing from the goddess here." Bishop Xion looked at Renn and said with a smile on his face.

The goddess's blessing?
Shouldn't it be the same as last time?

"Then I'll trouble you, Lord Bishop!"

Ren's face was filled with joy, and he bowed slightly to Bishop Xion and expressed his gratitude again.

As Bishop Sheen started the chanting, this time, many monks in light blue robes also started to chant loudly. Suddenly, the whole prayer hall was filled with the devout prayers of everyone!

The scale and solemnity of this event were obviously greater than last time.

Perhaps, the Goddess Church is trying to show a signal to other nobles in Meist County. If you help the Goddess Church fight heresy and evil, you will receive gifts from the goddess.

I saw the bishop looking at Renn, raising the scepter in his hand that exuded rich aqua-blue light. The next second, this blue and dazzling aqua-blue light shot out and enveloped Renn's body!
For a moment, Ren's entire body was shrouded in this dazzling blue light, and a cool and comfortable strange energy continuously penetrated into Ren's body.

The system prompts immediately:

【Ding! The test found that there is a large amount of unknown absorbable energy lingering around the host. Yes/no? (Note: After absorption, it can be converted into designated professional experience points.)]

Renn was immediately delighted!
Sure enough, just like last time, it can be turned into experience points.

So, Ren immediately said "Yes" silently in his heart!
Immediately, this rich blue energy was completely absorbed by Ren.

【Ding! A total of 3957 points of extraordinary experience points have been converted. Please choose Sorcerer's Apprentice (extraordinary)/Beast Tamer (extraordinary)/Breaking Bad (extraordinary) to upgrade. 】

Since the Weapon Master is at the legendary level and the Armor Master is at the ordinary level, both are not included in this list.

Renn did not choose difficulty this time, because with the two professions of Sorcerer Apprentice (Extraordinary) or Beast Tamer (Extraordinary), he could get a reward of just one level.

And combined with Breaking Bad (Super), he can level up at least four levels in a row.

When Renn selected Breaking Bad (Supernatural), five consecutive system prompts appeared in an instant:

[Congratulations, your Breaking Bad (Super) career level has been improved! 】

[Congratulations, your Breaking Bad (Super) career level has been improved! 】

见到面板上绝命毒师（超凡）职业等级从lv1（12/100）→lv6（69/3000），雷恩脸上不由得露出了一个灿烂的笑容。

Tsk tsk! He actually got promoted to five levels in a row!
This gave Ren an urge to hug the goddess' thigh!

If you can get the goddess' blessing every now and then, why would you bother to join the Sword Bearers?
Otherwise, just stay in the Goddess Church!

Unfortunately, if he really joined the Goddess Church, Ryan knew that such a good thing might not come once in several years!
This time he came not only because he had eradicated the Black Flame Cult's lair, but also because the Goddess Church happened to want to use him as a role model to further expand its influence.

Ryan looked at the bottom of the panel and saw the remaining attribute points: 13, remaining skill points: 6, and gold skill points: 2.

Among them, the remaining attributes reached an astonishing 13 points, double digits!
However, how to properly allocate and use these points requires careful consideration after returning.

The award ceremony was followed by a dinner. After some polite exchanges with a group of nobles, Ryan had a small meeting with Bishop Theon and Archbishop Rudolf.

The main reason was that Ryan was still a little worried about leaving the county town this time.

Although he eradicated the Black Flame Cult completely this time, he also offended many nobles in the process, so there is no guarantee that there would be no fish that slipped through the net.

In fact, the reason for this problem was essentially because he, the baron, had just been conferred the title, his family foundation was insufficient, and he had no official knights available under his command.

Even the Crowley family now only has one official knight left who is of no use.

If we hire foreign knights, there will be a question mark about their reliability, and it will be difficult to train and reuse them later.

In contrast, one of the advantages of a noble family with a long heritage is that they can often possess enough knight-level combat power through training and accumulation from generation to generation.

So, in the meeting just now, Ryan made a request.

Since Ryan won the Golden Conch Medal this time, according to the rule that the medal recipient can ask the local Goddess Church for help, Bishop Theon agreed to Ryan's request and will send two Templar Knights to garrison for a period of time.

The time is two months.

After all, according to the regulations of the Goddess Church, even for the recipient of the Golden Conch Medal, this is not allowed.

In addition, he wrote a letter the day before yesterday to Hass Klein of Larchmond Fishing Port in Rossby County, hoping that the other party could come to Meister and stay for a while if he was free.

Judging from the time, Haas should be arriving in the next few days.

In this way, with three knights' combat power, it should be enough to deal with some sneak attacks hiding in the dark.

In the luxurious carriage on the way back.

The beautiful woman Jennifer said to Ryan: "My dear, a lot of nobles and wealthy businessmen contacted me at the banquet just now, hoping to invest in the Crowley Chamber of Commerce."

"Oh?" Lei raised his eyebrows, thought for a moment, and immediately understood what was going on?

Obviously, the fact that the beautiful woman accompanied him to the investiture ceremony of the Church of the Monsoon and Ocean Goddess was basically equivalent to confirming the close relationship between him and the Crowley family.

He had been improving his strength in the mansion, staying at home and rarely going out, and basically not attending noble banquets and social events. He also basically turned down all the invitations or requests sent to him, or asked the beautiful woman Jennifer to attend on his behalf.

So, they set their sights on Jennifer, hoping to strengthen their connection with her through her.

"Jennifer, what do you think?" Ryan thought for a moment and asked back.

"Here's what I'm thinking. I want to change the name of this Chamber of Commerce to the Hammer and Rose Chamber of Commerce. Then, I'll sell 40% of the shares to franchisees like the Wiggins Chamber of Commerce."

Listening to the beautiful woman talking, Ryan nodded continuously.

Jennifer was experienced in business matters, so he didn't have to worry or interfere.

Of course, Ryan thought this was a good thing. After all, he couldn't always be in Mayster County to protect the Crowley family. So, as long as he didn't have any problems, the beautiful woman and the Crowley family wouldn't have any big problems.

Moreover, with the addition of these nobles or wealthy businessmen, the overall strength of the new chamber of commerce controlled by Jennifer will be greatly increased, and many businesses and transportation routes that were previously not allowed to be done can now be slowly considered.

When the interests become large enough, then as a combination of interests, they will advance and retreat together on many things.

This is just like the situation this time between the Black Flame Cult and those aristocratic families that are closely related to it.

In this way, Ryan basically doesn't have to worry about the safety of the Crowley family in this small piece of land in Mayster County.

Of course, the task of cultivating direct descendants must continue, but it will not be effective in a day or two.

"As for my dear, you just need to put your name on it. You get 50% of the profits, and I'll split the rest with them." The beautiful woman's eyes sparkled when she talked about business.

Hearing this, Ryan was startled, smiled, and said, "No need, Jennifer, I can split it with you, and I'll just leave my share with you."

"Don't refuse. You've already invested a lot in the previous acquisition of rare minerals." Ryan waved his hand, stopping the beautiful woman from saying anything.

"In addition, um... I want Jenny to accompany you to Munster. Because if these nobles and wealthy businessmen join us, we will have enough strength to transport the goods to Munster for sale."

"I think there will be a good market for these products from the other side of the sea in Münster."

Ryan nodded, this was a good idea.

After his trip to Munster this time, he may not return to the county town in the short term.

So if Jennifer can expand her business to Munster, she can let the new Chamber of Commerce take care of some of the chores.

For example, when he went to Munster this time, he also planned to take the Greyhound, the Bloodfeather Hippogryph and the Black Horse with him. During the days of the assessment, he needed someone he could trust to take care of him.

He originally planned to bring the short Matteo along, but now with the channel of Jennifer's new Chamber of Commerce, it is obviously a better choice.

"Oh, dear, there is one more thing."

"It's about the information you asked me to collect about the assessment of the Imperial Sword Bearers. I have almost collected it now. Most of it comes from the Axon Auction House, and some is from other nobles in Meister."

"Oh? Let me see." Ryan raised his eyebrows. Obviously, compared to business, he was more interested in this content.

Since the people he knew now, including Hamilton, had never participated in the assessment of the Imperial Sword Bearer Organization, they naturally did not know what specific form this assessment took.

Long after the Black Flame Cult incident ended, Ryan commissioned the beautiful woman Jennifer to purchase some information from the Axon Auction House.

As a result, Ryan looked at the stack of papers handed to him by the beautiful woman with a little excitement.

Although many things are not written in detail due to the imperial confidentiality regulations, we can still get a general idea of ​​the outline of the entire Sword Wielder organization from the side.

First of all, the Imperial Sword Bearers organization has a long history. It was established shortly after the founding of the Dragun Empire, and has a history of more than 1800 years.

During this period, the name was changed several times. At first, it seemed to be called the Guardian and belonged to the Imperial Royal Family. Now it has been changed to the Sword Bearer. Nominally, it belongs to the Imperial Military, but the information also says that in fact, it is still led by the Imperial Royal Family.

In comparison, the Imperial Navy's Tidewalkers organization was established much later, reportedly only about six hundred years ago.

Seeing this, Ryan's eyes flickered and he couldn't help thinking.

It seems that the Imperial Sword Bearers organization has a long history. No wonder the members of the Fish Dragon Team said that the Navy's special department "Tide Walkers" was modeled after the "Sword Bearers".

As for the function of the Sword Bearer Organization, if it can be described in one sentence, it is to protect the Dragun Empire.

However, the information shows that the Sword Bearer is currently mainly responsible for dealing with some difficult or unsolvable problems of the imperial functional departments, such as some cults and special events.

Externally, it is more about collecting, competing for or confronting some special resources with the Eagle Federation, or fighting with alien races outside the empire's territory, etc.

"I see." Ryan nodded. He understood a little.

If the Navy Tidewalkers are limited to the imperial waters, then the Sword Bearers are throughout the entire territory, even outside the imperial territory.

In addition, Ryan also found something special: it was different from the previous assessment for ennobling nobles.

That is, those who are admitted to become sword holders will have a period of advanced training lasting several months, half a year or even longer.

It seems that during the specific assessment process, the Sword Holder organization's relevant personnel will give targeted training suggestions and arrange corresponding special training based on the characteristics of those who have passed the assessment.

"Targeted training." Ryan couldn't help but murmured.

When the beautiful woman heard this, she seemed to have thought of something and said, "My dear, there were people from Mayest County who joined the Imperial Sword Bearers, but later, their families all moved to the provincial capital of Munster."

"But according to people from several noble families they are friends with, one of them went to the Imperial Royal Academy to study for a period of time shortly after joining the Imperial Sword Bearer Organization."

"Royal Academy?" Ryan couldn't help but be a little surprised and confirmed.

"Yes."

Ren nodded.

Isn't that where Claire went?

"By the way, Jennifer, didn't you say there were two?"

"Well, the other one is said to have gone to a wizard school for further study for a year. But none of these nobles can tell which school it was. I think it is probably because of confidentiality."

After the beautiful woman Jennifer collected this information, she also spent a long time and energy to distinguish the authenticity. Although it was not 100% credible, the general direction was correct, otherwise she would not have come to tell Ryan about this.

"School?" Ryan looked thoughtful.

In fact, when he saw this, he had some vague guesses about the training strategy of the Empire Sword Bearer Organization.

If so, then he.
As Ryan continued to flip through the documents, he found that there was very little information about the sword holder's re-examination.

However, based on the previous content, Ryan combined it with what Trevor had said to him before and was basically certain that the authenticity of the content was basically fine, except that some parts were vague.

According to Ryan's current strength, it should not be a problem for him to be admitted to the Sword Wielder Organization.

What he wants now is to pass the re-examination, but even though the beautiful woman Jennifer has specially collected information for the re-examination, there is not much information on it.

However, two points are clear.

The first point is that if you pass the re-examination, the resources you obtain will be completely different from those of the people who pass the initial examination. In other words, those who pass the re-examination will get better resources and more targeted training.

The second point is that only those who pass the re-examination will have the power to form their own team in the later stage.

For Ryan, since there is better treatment, that is naturally what he wants to pursue.

In addition, judging from Count Habsburg's attitude towards the two sword bearers that day, Ryan felt that he might have underestimated the status of the sword bearers in the Dragun Empire.

What happened to a dozen dead nobles in the underground hall of Baron Elliot's mansion did not cause any waves in the end because of the intervention of the two sword-bearers.

The so-called convening of the Parliament of Nobles ended up in nothing.

Because the families of the deceased nobles also knew that it would be meaningless to hold a noble meeting without the approval of Count Habsburg and the opposition of Bishop Sheen.

This also made Ryan look forward to the upcoming sword holder assessment even more. After all, no one would complain about their status becoming higher.

Early the next morning, the morning light dewed slightly.

Ryan got up early and began to think about the strategy of adding points.

In fact, he had been thinking about this problem a few days ago, but today he thought about it more thoroughly.

First of all, his most powerful skill at the moment is still the Tokkar Hammer Technique, which allows him to perform the ultimate skill - shock wave. If he wants to further improve his combat effectiveness, upgrading the ultimate skill - shock wave to the next level is the best choice.

To upgrade Shockwave to the intermediate level, you need to spend 2 skill points on Tokkar's Hammer Technique, upgrade it to level 14, and then spend 2 skill points on Bear King's Breathing Technique, also upgrading it to level 14 or above.

Finally, you will need to consume 1 gold skill point.

As the remaining skill points decrease from 6 to 2, the gold skill point changes from 2 to 1.
In an instant, a vast memory of hammer training and a vast memory of bear king breathing training flooded into Ryan's mind one after another.

When Ryan came to his senses, he found a key system prompt that came quietly:

[Congratulations, you have unlocked the intermediate secret of Tokkar Hammer Technique: Shockwave! ]

Intermediate secret!

A smile appeared on Ryan's lips!
Soon, Ryan discovered that the icon of Tokkar's hammer technique 'Shockwave' on the Weapon Master (Legend) panel had also changed slightly.

The arc lines in front of the hammer hitting the ground in the icon have become denser and thicker, which seems to mean that the force of the shock has become stronger!

At the bottom right of the icon, the small text has also changed:

Shockwave (Intermediate Secret) Effect: Use a special force-generating technique that combines the Force with multiple shocks, swing a heavy hammer, and deliver a blow with ultra-high frequency shocks.

(Note: Shockwave is a secret skill and cannot be upgraded through skill points.)
(To upgrade Shockwave to a high-level skill, the following conditions must be met: 16. Tokkar Hammer Technique lv16 or above (Hammer Specialization can offset some of the level requirements); 2. Bear King Breathing Technique lv or above. . Consume gold skill points.)
It’s just one more word - 'super', but it represents a qualitative improvement!

"Does it take 2 gold skill points to upgrade to the advanced secret?"

"It seems that I won't be able to upgrade my hammer technique 'Shockwave' in the short term."

"Then, the next step is to upgrade."

"Pullingleng~"

Just as Ryan was thinking, the sound of birds flapping their wings came from outside the window!
Hmm? It doesn't sound like the sound of Blood Feather flapping its wings.
Ryan couldn't help but turn his head and look out the window.

(End of this chapter)
