Chapter 246: Shocking Change (Two chapters in one)

If it weren't for the extremely slight fluctuation in the opponent's breath after the ancient troll's fangs disappeared, Ryan would not have been able to sense the opponent.

Obviously, the other party is very good at hiding his whereabouts.

"What a keen perception, Lord Ryan. I'm so sorry to bother you."

"I am Hamis from the Axon Chamber of Commerce. I wonder if I would have the honor to meet Mr. Ryan." A feminine male voice came from outside the door.

Ryan looked at the fangs that had been reduced to powder and couldn't help but laugh. He thought, what's the point of meeting? Now I can't give you my fangs even if I want to.

However, it doesn't hurt to listen and see what the other party means.

"Come in!" Ryan said.

The door was gently opened, and a thin but strong man in leather armor walked in. His eyes were narrow and gave people the feeling of a venomous snake's gaze.

The guy named Hamis bowed slightly and said, "Mr. Ryan, I would like to send my greetings to you on behalf of Viscount Fabien, the head of the Minster Axon Auction House."

"Mr. Hamis, please tell me why you are here." Ryan looked the other man up and down.

The dagger on the opponent's waist seemed to indicate that he was an assassin.

"Mr. Ryan, this is the case. I came here this time in the hope that you can sell us the pair of tusks obtained from the natives. The tusk auction house values ​​this pair very much."

Ryan waved his hand and said, "Sir Hamis, I'm sorry, I don't have any fangs here."

I didn't lie.

Although it had existed a few seconds ago, it has now turned into slag, so naturally it has no fangs anymore.

Hamish stared at Ryan's eyes without any emotion and was stunned!
Huh? Is the other party telling the truth?
But this is impossible!

As soon as I got nearby, I sensed that subtle fluctuation. I have been chasing that pair of fangs for so long, so my sense should not be wrong.

After a moment's thought, Hamis's face became serious and he said solemnly: "Mr. Ryan, although you are a distinguished Imperial Sword Bearer, you may not know that the Axon Auction House is far more powerful than you expected."

"Viscount Fabien is just a representative who has been pushed to the front. You will offend more than just one viscount because of this matter. It is not wise to do so."

"Oh? Lord Hamis, are you threatening me?" Ryan smiled.

"You know, I hate it most when someone threatens me. Besides, even if I have the fang you mentioned, according to the Imperial spoils distribution regulations, it belongs to me, doesn't it?"

"Or does the Axon Auction House want to challenge the established rules of this empire? Perhaps I should spread the word about this matter among the Sword Bearers branch."

"This." Hamis didn't know what to say for a moment.

Mudd!

If it weren't for the caravan leader Asani and his group of idiots who thought they had arrived in Munster and let down their guard, allowing this native to escape, there wouldn't have been so much trouble!

Before coming, he had seen the injuries on the native's body and knew that the young Lord Ryan in front of him was not a simple person. What was more troublesome was that the other party's identity was sensitive.

He didn't want to confront the other party if it wasn't necessary.

"Sir Ryan, let me be frank. This pair of fangs is very important to the Axon Auction House. A marquis specifically requested it. If you still insist on your opinion, please don't regret it."

"I really don't have any fangs here. If you don't believe me, you can take a look." Ryan spread out his hands.

Then, Ryan took the initiative to empty out everything in his waist bag.

"I can swear to the goddess on this!" Ryan said solemnly.

He already knew that the Axon Auction House was said to have a strong background, so it would be best if he could fool them.

Besides, he was telling the truth.

The fangs have turned into bone meal. If what you want is bone meal, we can still negotiate.

Want fangs? That's out of the question, Ryan thought.

Hamis looked at Ryan's clear and serious eyes, and the way he swore without hesitation, and he was suddenly confused.

Such clear eyes, it doesn't look like he is lying.
Hamis looked carefully at the miscellaneous items that Ryan poured out of his waist bag, and found that the pair of fangs were not among them.

The fangs are very long and white, and very easy to find.

He looked around Ryan's room again. It was simply decorated and there didn't seem to be any place to hide anything.

There was some powdery stuff on the ground.
But this must be because the servants didn't clean it properly.
"Okay. It seems that I may have made a mistake. I'm very sorry! Lord Ryan, I hope you don't mind my offense." Hamish bowed.

"Of course not." Ryan waved his hand and said.

Khamis bowed again and quickly turned and left.

After watching Hamish leave, Ryan began to think to himself.

It seems that this pair of ancient troll fangs must be very rare, otherwise some people in the Yaxon Auction House would not be so obsessed with it.

Perhaps, after I return to the Sword Bearer Branch, I will have to look for relevant information.

After thinking about it, Ryan focused his attention on the job transfer information.

This time, the job change to the legendary profession also obtained the improvement of all attributes, and the spirit was increased especially much, reaching 3 points.

Ryan flipped the system panel to the properties page:

Name: Ryan Callan

职业：武器大师（传奇）lv6（1912/3000）/野兽祭司（传奇）lv1（1/100）/巫师学徒（超凡）lv6（792/3000）/绝命毒师（超凡）lv6（69/3000）/铸甲师lv6（211/3000）

Constitution: 32
Power: 31
Agility: 32
Spirit: 39
Attribute points remaining: 12
Skill points remaining: 0
After this job change, all attributes have exceeded the 30-point mark. However, Ryan is more concerned about the three core skills of Beast Sacrifice (Legendary) that he has just acquired.

I don’t know if the effect of the skill is what he thought before.

Ryan turned the page to the Beast Priest (Legendary) page with great anticipation, only to see that the original Tamer (Superb) panel had disappeared, and instead, the Beast Priest (Legendary) profession panel appeared.

The entire panel was still flashing with the same special blue light as Weapon Master (Legend).

This is obviously different from the green light on the previous Tamer (Super) profession panel.

Ryan quickly found the new icon with three flashing borders at the top of the icons.

The pattern on the first icon turned out to be a miniature photo of his three current pets, an eagle, a dog, and a horse, with a line of small words in the lower right corner:
[Beast Sturdiness lv1 (Passive): As a beast priest inherited from the ancient trolls, you naturally have the ability to absorb the vitality of the contracted pet, thereby improving your physical fitness and resistance. ]

(Note: Level 1 can only obtain one pet effect.)
(Note: This skill has a distance limit. It is only effective when the pet is near you. The effective distance is proportional to the spiritual attribute.)
Huh?
这 是
After a little thought, Ryan's face showed joy!

When he focused his attention on the core skill 'Beast Sturdiness', the 'portraits' of the three pets quickly emerged in his mind.

"Are you asking me to choose?"

"Then, let's first select the Greyhound War Dog 'Cookie' and implement the effect!"

With Ryan's confirmation.

Immediately, he felt that there was some kind of mysterious invisible link between himself and the Greyhound Cookie, and then a strange energy was transmitted to him.

Ryan felt a little different.

A new prompt message came quietly:

The host gains the buff [Swiftness of the Dog], increasing agility by 3 points.

"The Swiftness of Dogs?"

"Agility increased by 3 points?"

Ryan's eyes lit up, and he immediately checked his own attribute column again. Sure enough, his agility had become 32 (+3) points.

"The Swiftness of the Dog? It should be the enhancement effect from the cookies. An agility increase of nearly 10%, not bad!" Ryan raised his eyebrows and said happily.

I just don't know the others
So, Ryan tried the effect of choosing the dark horse again.

Immediately, he felt some kind of mysterious connection between himself and the black horse, and then, an energy completely different from the feeling from the greyhound war dog was transmitted to him.

And his mysterious connection with the greyhound war dog 'Cookie' was severed!

At the same time, two new prompts appear:
The host gains the buff [Horse's Endurance], and his Constitution increases by 1 point.

The effect of [Dog's Swiftness] disappears.

"Is it really as described in the skill? Level 1 can only maintain a buff effect?"

"It's a pity that I don't have any new skill points right now. Otherwise, I could try to reach level 2 of 'Beast Sturdiness'. Can I maintain both buff effects?"

"If it's possible, that would be awesome!"

"Ok?"

As if he saw something clearly, Ryan's eyes suddenly widened!

“Why only add a little?”

"The 'Swiftness of the Dog' just now increased my agility by three points, but why did it only increase my constitution by one point when it came to the Dark Horse?"

"Could it be that this buff is linked to the pet's own strength? Because the black horse has not yet reached the level of a ferocious beast, it can only provide a little physical effect?"

After thinking for a while, Ryan felt that his guess was probably true.

After thinking about it, Ryan tried the effect of the blood feather again.

A new system prompt appears:

The host gains the buff [Power of Hippogryph], increasing Strength by 2 points.

The effect of [Horse's Endurance] disappears.

"Ah!"

"Hippogryph gives strength?"

"Great!"

After comparing the three buff effects with different focuses, Ryan nodded secretly. This should be the case.

This power should be borrowed from your pets.

Therefore, the strength of the pet is crucial. Although Blood Feather is only a young bird, it can provide stronger gain effects than the larger Dark Horse. This is the reason.

"It seems that next time when I contract a pet, I should try to find a ferocious beast with some special abilities."

“Maybe there will be unexpected benefits.”

Ren thought.

The second icon is a human hand pressing on the head of a crawling beast, with a line of small words in the lower right corner as follows:
[Beast Vitality lv1 (Active): As a beast priest inherited from the ancient trolls, you can quickly absorb the vitality and energy of beasts or contracted pets to heal your own injuries and restore your energy.]

(Note: This skill can only be used on one beast or contracted pet at a time, and the maximum limit cannot exceed 30% of the opponent's upper limit of vitality.)
(Note: If you absorb a beast, you will be negatively affected by the beast's soul, but a contracted pet will not.)
"Is this the recovery ability displayed by that native?"

Ryan's eyes lit up.

But after seeing the description of 'the negative effects of the beast soul', he looked thoughtful.

It seemed that the other person's eyes were bloodshot and he was quite emotional.
Is this the negative effect?
Looks like I need to find a wild beast to try.
Then, Ryan moved his gaze to the last icon. This icon was a picture of a galloping beast, which was magnificent!
[Control Beasts lv1 (Active): As a beast priest inherited from the ancient trolls, you can control all beasts within a -meter diameter range, making them bloodthirsty and frenzied, and launching attacks on the enemy.]

(Note: The stronger the beast, the more resistant it is to your control. The effect of controlling the beast group is positively correlated with the spirit.)
Looking at these three core skills, Ryan couldn't help but smile!
at dusk.

Jenny arranged a sumptuous dinner.

"Jenny, maybe you and Agatha can consider buying a villa in the administrative district." Ryan said while cutting the hot cliff goat ribs with a silver knife and fork.

"Mr. Ryan, if you want to buy a villa in the administrative district, it is not enough to have money, you also need to buy a quota." Jenny and Agatha looked at each other in surprise, but Jenny did not question it, but answered directly. They did not understand why Mr. Ryan made such a suggestion.

Could it be that you think this house is too simple?
Probably not.

They knew that Lord Ryan was always devoted to cultivation and did not pay much attention to external conditions.

"I will take care of this. Don't forget, I have joined the Sword Bearers now." Ryan smiled slightly.

Jenny was keenly aware of something wrong, and asked with her brows slightly furrowed.

"Mr. Ryan, is it because of what happened during the day?"

"Well, it's not certain yet, but it's better to be prepared." Ryan nodded and did not deny it.

"Okay, Lord Ryan, I will go to look at houses with Agatha tomorrow." Jenny nodded without asking any more questions.

During dessert.

"Sir Ryan, are you going back tonight?" Agatha looked at Ryan with her big watery eyes. After drinking some aged Bordeaux, her young face looked as beautiful as a flower.

Although Agatha has some freckles on her nose, this does not affect the girl's liveliness and enthusiasm.

"Agatha, you've drunk too much!" Jenny couldn't help but cover her forehead with her little hands again.

It's over, it's over.

Her best friend has been completely obsessed with Lord Ryan's masculine charm.

"Yes, Miss Agatha, I have to go back to the Sword Bearer branch in the evening to look up some information." Ryan said apologetically.

"That's such a pity. I wanted to ask Lord Ryan some questions this evening." Agatha said with a blush on her pretty face.

Jenny has nothing to say to her best friend.
Are you asking a question?

You deliver the goods to your door!

at the same time.

In a study room on the third floor of the Axon Auction House.

Hamis was sitting opposite Viscount Fabien.

"So, Hamis, even you can't be sure now whether the ancient troll fang is in the hands of this swordsman?" Fabien said with dissatisfaction on his face.

"Yes, Sir Fabien, I'm very sorry." Hamis nodded and said.

"It seems that I have to trouble Lord Horton to perform the prophecy again. I have to find time to visit him in the next few days." Fabien frowned and murmured.

night.

Sword Bearer Division, Library.

"Hello, sir, how can I help you?" A pretty young employee saw Ryan approaching, stood up and bowed.

"Help me look up some information about trolls, um, or ancient trolls." Ryan said as he handed the other party his bronze badge.

"Okay, sir! Please wait a moment." The girl took it respectfully with both hands and began to search quickly.

"Is it a book about trolls or the ancient trolls?"

"Ok!"

"I have found it, sir. There are two ancient books related to trolls, namely "The Evolution of Trolls" and "Ancient Races: Trolls"."

"Both of them are available for borrowing."

"Okay, sir, the total price for borrowing is 20 merit points."

"Since these two books are copied from ancient materials in the Imperial Library, according to regulations, you can only read them in the Sword Bearer branch, and you need to return them within one month." The girl said apologetically.

"Okay, thank you!" Ryan nodded.

After returning to the room, Ryan began to read it carefully.

"In some remote areas of the empire, or even outside the borders, there are still some forest troll clans left."

". But it is not clear whether there are other types of trolls."

Ryan first looked at "The Evolution of Trolls", which contained some general descriptions, but he was actually most concerned about the fangs.

So, he put "The Evolution of Trolls" aside for the time being and quickly turned to "The Ancient Races: Trolls".

". The average height of the Ancient Trolls is over 2.5 meters, far exceeding the 2.2 meters tall of the remaining Forest Trolls. The height of females is slightly shorter, around 2 meters."

"In addition, even within the same clan, there are some trolls scattered around, and there are powerful trolls whose size far exceeds that of ordinary clan members."

Ryan took a look at the illustration and found that the male troll's fangs were protruding like a wild boar. The taller the troll, the longer the fangs. In addition, he had a long nose similar to Pinocchio. His appearance was completely beyond human aesthetics.

But the same cannot be said for female trolls.

The fangs on their lower jaws are like slightly longer fangs of humans, slightly exposed from their lips, similar to what we usually call canine teeth. They look a bit playful, and their facial features are also shaped like human females. The overall feeling is quite in line with the aesthetic of human males.

".Troll tusks are said to have special powers. The more powerful the troll warrior, the more obvious this power is on the tusks."

"During the reign of the Ancient Troll Empire, many tribes of primitive humans worshiped and sacrificed the fangs of powerful dead troll warriors and borrowed the magical power contained in them."

Ryan watched with great interest.

Although the ancient books are still vague, they roughly outline some vague internal logic, that is, why the ancient troll fangs prompted him to change his job to Beast Priest (Legend).

"Just as I guessed, at least there is no influence of the evil god."

"This should be some strange ability from the ancient race."

For several days.

Ryan spent his time in general education courses and the whitewater room step by step, almost living a life between these two points.

Unfortunately, there is little chance to use the other two core skills of Beast Sacrifice (Legendary).

However, this morning, the evaluation of how Rennes handled the emergency came out.

Three bronze medals, plus a disposal evaluation of 800 merit points.

Barnes’ prediction was spot on!

However, this can only be finally claimed when the assignment is settled.

The record of three bronze medals is enough to upgrade Ryan's badge level from bronze to silver.

This also means that Ryan will be able to accept silver-level missions soon.

It’s not far from winning the gold medal.

late at night.

Goldshire Church, Mayest County.

A man in a black robe with several burning black flame symbols on his collar and cuffs walked into the church. At this moment, there were already seven or eight Black Flame monks dressed in the same way waiting inside the church.

"Mr. Special Envoy, the bone staff has been placed."

"Very good, then let's start with this town!"

"Humph! The Dragun Empire thought that just because they destroyed one of our branches, they could intimidate the Black Flame Church. How foolish!"

"Starting today, let this dying empire be shaken to its core!"

"Mr. Special Envoy, if we do this, will it cause the wrath of the Dragun Empire and lead to a full-scale encirclement? I am not afraid, but I am worried about delaying the revival of God." A Black Flame monk seemed to be hesitant and said.

The middle-aged man called the special envoy smiled strangely: "Of course, but..."

"The Dragun Empire won't have the energy to do this."

"Because, this time it's not just our family!"

A few minutes later.

A group of Black Flame monks formed a circle, and the chanting sound in the church began!
"Great God of the Hunt, please bear witness to the insignificant sacrifice that your humble servant is about to offer to welcome your return!"

Goldsmith Town Administration Hall.

Hamilton in the lounge woke up suddenly, he suddenly felt a palpitation!
After he stood up, he vaguely heard the chanting coming from the church!

"It's so late, how could there still be people praying?" Hamilton frowned and looked thoughtful. The next second, his expression changed drastically.

"not good!"

Hamilton immediately understood what was going on, picked up the sword and shield beside him, and rushed out of the room.

But when he rushed out of the administrative hall with a team of elite Night Watchmen, he saw a faint blood-red mist strangely lingering in the sky above the entire Shining Gold Town.

Before they could rush to the church, the night watchmen beside Hamilton screamed!

“I have a nosebleed!”

"Look, the blood is floating."

The night watchmen watched in horror as their own blood gushed out of their nostrils and eyes.
It can’t be covered no matter what!
Blood flowed from midair to the church like a stream flowing into the sea.
Hamilton's pupils shrank!
He planned to retreat immediately, but when he turned around suddenly, he found a man in black robes in front and behind him.
"Huh, I didn't expect there's still a fish that slipped through the net."

"And he's a senior knight. Judging from his attire, he should be the sheriff of this town. It's just right. With you in the mix, the whole town will be almost complete."

A few minutes later, followed by a familiar roar!

The entire town of Shining Gold returned to peace.

Deathly silence!

And under the same moonlight.

Meester County, a fishing port town.

"Wow!"

On the coast, waves beat rhythmically against the rocks.

Suddenly, several tall, strange-looking humanoid creatures emerged from the sea and slid quickly onto the shore from the water.

Their heads resembled miniature dragons, with not only ring-shaped and striped fins, but also many thick whiskers similar to those of catfish on their chins. Their lower bodies were like giant snakes, while their upper bodies were like humans, covered with scales.

These monsters were at least two and a half meters tall, holding tridents and exuding a powerful aura.

It is certain that this is definitely not a fishman!
Although they moved in a zigzag pattern, their speed was extremely fast.

When they rushed into the fishing port town, screams soon filled the night sky!
Early the next morning.

When Ryan walked out of the room and was about to go to the lobby of the Sword Bearer Branch's new building to attend general education courses, several griffins on the training ground quickly took off one after another, chirping and flying towards the southeast!

"Huh? What's going on? All the griffins are out." Ryan looked puzzled.

Before he could figure it out, suddenly another group of griffins quickly streaked across the sky.

"Is this the Griffin Squadron from Munster?"

Ryan could vaguely see that on the back of the leading griffin was Viscount Felke, who was wearing light gold knight armor.

At this time, the red-haired beauty Evelyn came anxiously from one end of the corridor and said to Ryan anxiously: "Sir Ryan, something big happened in Mayist County!"
