The wizard starts by trimming the donkey's hooves

Chapter 259 Attack Power Test (Two chapters in one)

For an average third-level wizard apprentice, even if he has obtained the atomizer potion and has met all other conditions for promotion, he still has to be extremely cautious if he wants to be successfully promoted to a wizard.

After all, becoming a formal wizard is very difficult and failure is possible at any time.

But Ren is different!
He can complete promotion with 100% success rate in a very short time.

As Ryan silently said "Yes!"

Promotion starts immediately.

[Start changing jobs. Continuing transformation.]

[The host's mental strength is greatly improved. Turn on atomization.]

[Ding! Successfully changed to Wizard (Legend)! Constitution +3, Strength +3, Agility +3, Spirit +13! ]

[Obtained the wizard (legendary) talent magic: Metal Transfiguration]

In an instant, Ryan seemed to break through some deep-seated constraints in his brain.

Somehow, Ryan felt that there was a three-dimensional structure in his mind that was exactly the same as the "Metal Transfiguration" witchcraft model, and it seemed to be made up of some kind of spiritual power crystal!
The three-dimensional structure was surrounded by a thin silver mist.

Is this the atomization of mental power?

Is three-dimensional structure a gifted witchcraft?
This thing that only existed in his perception, Ryan didn't know whether it was a real object or something that only existed in his mind.

But there is one thing Ryan is very clear about.

Now, he seems to perceive the world more deeply.
He can feel the excitement and joy of every cell in his body, as well as subtle changes in the surrounding environment. Even if a speck of dust falls from behind him, he can control its trajectory as long as he wants.

on the system panel.

The original Wizard Apprentice (Extraordinary) panel has disappeared, and instead, the Wizard (Legendary) profession panel has appeared.

The entire panel was flashing with an extremely special blue light, which was almost exactly the same as the blue light of the previous Weapon Master (Legendary).

The system prompts that flashed across the screen made Ryan dizzy.

But every item displayed for the new profession was important, so Ryan looked at them carefully one by one.

hiss!
My spirits actually improved by thirteen points!

All other attributes were increased by three points.

[Talented Magic: Metal Transfiguration]

Metal Transfiguration (Talented Witchcraft) Effect: Consume a small amount of mental energy to solidify the witchcraft model to attract the surrounding metal energy particles and quickly change the shape of the metal in the host's hand.

(Note: Metal Transfiguration is a continuous guided magic. The speed of transformation is directly proportional to the level of control and mental strength, and inversely proportional to the total amount of transformed metal, metal type, etc.)
Ryan looked at a few key words carefully - "a small amount of mental power" and "quickly", and his face showed joy!

"Sure enough, the innate witchcraft can greatly reduce the consumption of mental energy and greatly increase the transformation speed!"

"This is like the innate ability of some ferocious beasts. It is extremely fast, easy, and almost instinctive to use!"

"Now I can perform metal transformation like this too!"

As he was promoted to a formal wizard, Ryan, who had solidified metal transfiguration into a gifted magic, naturally wanted to try out the effect of the gifted magic.

He walked to the table and picked up the iron dagger he had used for testing.

It was just a thought.

In an instant, the iron dagger transformed into a small iron hammer
Its speed is so fast, almost instantaneous!
This immediately brought a bright smile to Ryan's face!

"However, the total amount of metal in the dagger is too little, so I have to get a bigger one."

After taking a look, Ryan quickly walked to the side and picked up the "fake pig head hammer" that was made from more than ten iron ingots in the corner.

As Ryan performed metal transformation, the pseudo-pig-head hammer took about 0.2 to 0.3 seconds to transform into a thick tower shield, and then quickly changed into a two-handed greatsword.

Finally, it transforms back into the shape of a pig-head hammer.

There are several variations, although not as instant as a dagger, the time consumed is also very short.

This result made Ryan very pleased!
"It seems that solidifying Metal Transfiguration into a natural witchcraft is not a bad idea at the moment!"

Now the effect of metal transformation has completely met Ryan's previous expectations.

You can suddenly transform at any time during the battle to catch your opponent off guard!

Of course, metal transformation is not without its flaws.

For example, Ryan can quickly transform the iron ingot in his hand into a solid iron ball, or transform the shield in his hand into a javelin.

However, if you want to launch a long-range attack, you still need to exert your own strength and throw it out to attack the enemy. The iron ball cannot automatically attack the enemy.

In other words, Ryan's metal transformation itself does not have long-range attack capabilities.

However, this is hardly a disadvantage for Ryan.

Because Ryan has a legendary profession - Weapon Master!
Metal Transfiguration combined with Ryan's weapon master can transform various weapons to fight the enemy with the most suitable weapons plus extraordinary combat skills.

at the same time.

The administrative building is adjacent to the Newcomer Building.

Admiral Edward's office is located in the southernmost room at the top of the administrative building, a spacious room with an excellent view.

At this time, Admiral Edward was chatting with an old man who was wearing a gorgeous red robe and had a kind yet majestic face.

Suddenly, the old man frowned slightly, as if he sensed something.

Admiral Edward couldn't help but look at this in a strange way, so he asked curiously, "Archbishop Gomes, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, I just seemed to sense a new wave of spiritual power, not far away."

"It feels to me like someone is being promoted to a formal wizard, but this fluctuation only lasts for a short time, so it's a bit strange."

Admiral Edward couldn't help laughing when he heard this. He stood up, looked out the window, and said:

"Your Excellency the Archbishop, perhaps your perception is too sharp. Which wizard apprentice who is promoted to a formal wizard does not return to his family? At the very least, he is in the quiet room of the training building. If it is the training building, it is so far away that you are unlikely to sense it."

"Well, it's most likely the fluctuation of some witchcraft prop." Archbishop Gomez nodded. He also felt that what his old friend Admiral Edward said made sense.

Because looking out the window, there is a street in front of the Sword Bearer Branch.

As for the other side of the street, it was too far away. Although his perception was sharp, it was impossible for him to feel the other side of the street. Other places were within the range of the sword-bearers' division.

If a sword bearer were to be promoted to a formal wizard, Edward, his old friend, would definitely know better than himself.

"By the way, Your Excellency the Archbishop, let's go back to the question just now. What do you think about the forbidden door that is suspected to have appeared underground on the coast of Meist?" Admiral Edward asked with a serious face.

Archbishop Gomes thought for a moment and said:

"When I got the news yesterday, I was also shocked. I asked someone to check the ancient books and materials. Now it is basically certain that there should be a forbidden door there."

"It's just that the time is too long, so I don't know what the goddess sealed in there in ancient times?"

"It is possible that he is a direct follower of a certain evil god, an evil creature, a pet, or a powerful minion." Archbishop Gomes frowned and shook his head.

"But my advice is that it's better not to open it easily."

Archbishop Gomes added.

"Alas! You know, there are some things that are not something you and I can decide." Admiral Edward said helplessly.

"What they mean is to release the things in the forbidden door, and the imperial guardians will take action to deal with it."

"The Imperial Guardian? Since that's what he wants, there's nothing to discuss."

"Old friend, I'll take my leave now." Archbishop Gomes shook his head helplessly and stood up.
-
inside the room.

At this time, Ryan picked up the broken handle of the pig-head hammer made of hardened fine gold ingot, and then took out the "Skull Hammer" that he had treasured for a long time.

He planned to reshape and reweight the handle of the one-handed hammer 'Skull Hammer' in order to turn it into a two-handed hammer.

However, the moment Ryan held the Skull Hammer, the system prompt sounded again:
[Ding! Detected that the host has obtained the rare item 'Skull Hammer', triggering a special job change - Warhammer Wizard (Legend)! ]

[The prerequisites for changing to Warhammer Wizard (Legendary) are: 12. Formal Wizard of any category; 30. Any Hammer-type Extraordinary Item; . Any Warhammer-type Extraordinary Combat Skill above Level ; . Physical Level Break Limit above %. The current conditions are met. Yes/No to change to Warhammer Wizard (Legendary)? ]

Huh?
All satisfied?
Ryan was not surprised by the tip about changing his job to a Warhammer wizard.

To his surprise, all the conditions were met.

This means he can switch to a Warhammer Wizard at any time!
"Is condition four also met?"

Out of curiosity, Ryan immediately opened the Weapon Master (Legend) panel.

He suddenly discovered that, perhaps because of his promotion to a formal wizard, the wave of attribute improvements had enhanced his physical fitness in all aspects.

At this moment, he saw in the lower right corner of the big words "Weapon Master (Legend): Second level physical limit breaking value (32%)".

From this point of view, today is a double happiness. While being promoted to a formal wizard, my physical level has also reached the level of a senior knight.

However, when asked whether to change his job to a Warhammer wizard, Ryan immediately chose "No!"

why?
Naturally, you should choose to upgrade the Wizard (Legend) career panel first, and brush up on some skill points and attribute points, rather than choosing to change jobs again so quickly.

After thinking about it, Ryan put down the skull hammer.

He planned to test the attack power of different weapons transformed by Metal Transfiguration and cooperate with the Weapon Master.

The attack power test room mentioned by the female staff in the training building before is a good place to go and take a look.

Soon, Ryan deformed the hardened adamantium ingot, covered it on the plate armor gloves, and came to the training building again.

When he arrived at the attack power test room on the second floor, he found that there were already seven or eight sword-wielding men in the room.

The entire test room covers an area of ​​about several hundred square meters. The most eye-catching things inside are three metal cylinders with a diameter of about two meters.

The cylinder is laid on a track similar to a railway track, with the circular section facing the crowd.

The color of the cut surface is similar to that of metallic sterling silver.

At this moment, in front of each drum-like cylinder, there was a sword-holder holding various weapons, swinging them with extraordinary combat skills.

Ryan could clearly see that these chops would create scratches of varying depths on the light silver metal, but these chops would not cause the blade of the weapon to curl, because the material of this block of metal seemed to be similar to pure silver and was relatively soft.

However, around the metal block, there is a circle of magic arrays engraved with complex patterns, which has the special effect of repairing metal. In fact, this is also a formation of metal magic "Metal Restoration", which Ryan has seen in those eleven ancient books.

In addition, there is a spring-like device behind the metal block.

Whether it was a hammer or a sword, the metal block could absorb and test the attack power of each blow, and quickly display the value representing the attack power on the wisdom slate next to it. Ryan looked at the scene in front of him and nodded.

He really didn't expect that the Sword Bearer Division already had such complete equipment for testing attack power.

At this moment, he noticed that in front of the third device, there was a sturdy man using a one-handed hammer. He took a step forward, his muscles bulged, and hit the cylindrical metal block heavily with a heavy hammer!

"clang!!!"

There was a harsh sound of metal clashing.

The originally smooth surface of the metal block was instantly hit with a dent the size of a washbasin, like a meteorite crater!

At the same time, the metal block weighing several tons was pushed back about half a meter along the slide rail, and the spring behind it allowed the metal block to quickly return to its original position.

On the black wisdom slate beside it, a huge number was displayed - 35!

The attack made quite a noise, causing most people in the test room to look sideways. After seeing the number 35, they all started to whisper:
"It turned out to be Skorda the Bull."

"It seems that his Bull Hammer Technique has improved again, and he seems to have mastered the intermediate level."

"Generally speaking, the attack power of a knight is between 5 and 15 degrees, and for a great knight it's between 15 and 40 degrees. Skorda is already very powerful!"

The attack power of the Great Knight is between 15 and 40 degrees? Ryan listened to everyone's conversation and looked thoughtful.

Although this was the first time he heard this statement, it did not affect his understanding.

In addition, if Ryan could look back when he was handling business in the mission hall yesterday, he would definitely remember this strong man.

Because the other person was the strong man who had been standing behind him and waiting for half an hour in vain.

At this time, a young man next to the Bull Skorda gave a thumbs up and praised excitedly: "Captain, the power of your hammer is definitely this."

"I'm over it. Among the sword-wielding Munster branch's hammer-wielding experts, I'm not even in the top five." Skorda waved his hand and said with a smile.

Obviously, although Skorda was humble in words, he was actually very happy when he heard his companions' praise.

"By the way, Captain, speaking of hammer skills, I heard from a new recruit from Wales that there is a very strong new recruit in their batch. It is said that during the assessment, he knocked down the obsidian giant with one hammer, and was nicknamed 'Maest Battering Ram.'"

"If you ask me, there aren't any talented guys among these new recruits. It's all about making a fuss!"

"If we change the captain, it would be easy to knock down the obsidian giant with one hammer." The young man said with a bit of disapproval.

"Hmm? Is that true?" The Bull Skorda's face became serious. "Although I can do this, it is definitely not easy. It is really amazing that a newcomer can have such strength."

Since Skorda's secret had already been tested, he and the young man were seen walking towards the door while talking.

Ryan saw that there was a vacant test device, so he walked over quickly.

The two sides passed each other.

At this moment, Skorda, the wild bull who was almost at the door, suddenly realized something and seemed to have thought of something. He immediately turned his head to look at Ryan's back!
This back view.
So familiar!
By the way, isn’t this young man the guy who made me wait for more than half an hour in the mission hall yesterday?
Although Skorda was unhappy, he also knew that the other party was just completing the task normally, so he naturally couldn't blame the other party for this matter.

In addition, judging from the situation that day, the Deputy Minister of Affairs Olena and the Minister of Affairs Mr. Yumaz of the Mission Hall seemed to attach great importance to this young man.

The other party appeared here today, obviously to test his attack power.

This immediately made him very curious.

Seeing his captain stop, the young man couldn't help but look in the direction his captain was looking, only to see a young man he had never seen before.

There are only so many people in the Sword Bearer Division, and if someone has never been seen before, it is naturally very likely that he is a newcomer.

"Captain, what's wrong?" the young man asked curiously.

"Nothing much, I just saw an interesting young man. Let's wait a moment and see the opponent's attack power test." Skorda said.

Ryan has never done an attack power test.

He also wanted to test the attack power he could achieve when holding different weapons.

After thinking about it, Ryan performed metal transformation and instantly transformed the hardened gold on the surface of the plate armor gauntlet into a dagger.

"Huh? Dagger? It's very rare!" the young man couldn't help but say.

Skorda also nodded and said, "It's indeed rare!"

Because it was a small dagger with very little metal in it, the speed of the metal transformation was so fast that everyone, including Skorda, thought that Ryan was carrying a dagger with him.

"clang!"

A crisp sound!
The number 18 instantly appeared on the smart stone slab next to the testing device.

"The strength is very average." The young man frowned and said.

He didn't quite understand why the captain was paying attention to this young man.

And Skorda was also stunned.

This number is obviously not too high, but too low.

He couldn't understand why this level of combat power would attract the attention of the officers in the mission hall.

Ryan nodded slightly.

This data is very normal. He does not have any extraordinary combat skills related to daggers. He purely attacks by swinging the dagger. The 18-degree attack power is not surprising.

After thinking about it, Ryan decided to test the damage of the axe. After all, he had the extraordinary combat skill 'Loken Axe and Shield Combat Skill' when it came to the axe.

But before transforming, Ryan thought of a problem.

It would be better not to reveal the fact that he has metal transfiguration as his innate magical skill, as this would reveal too many secrets.

So, this time, Ryan spent nearly ten seconds to slowly transform the dagger in his hand and the hardened gold covering the plate armor gauntlet into an axe.

This process was naturally captured by others, including Skoda.

Many people immediately exclaimed:
"It's a rare metal-based witchcraft!"

"This seems to be a first-level metal magic - Metal Transfiguration. I seem to have seen it in the special item exchange list."

"It turns out that this young man is a third-level wizard apprentice!" Skorda muttered to himself.

"clang!!!"

Ryan's axe chopped into the metal block at least ten centimeters with lightning speed, and the data on the wisdom slate next to it quickly refreshed to 27.

"Oh, not bad! This strength is very good." The young man was a little surprised and turned to his captain Skorda.

This number also caused more and more people to pay attention to Ryan.

Ryan took a longer time, about seventeen or eighteen seconds, to transform the axe in his hand into a two-handed sword.

The people around were also quite interested in the metal magic performed by Ryan, and they all started talking about it:

"This metal transformation technique is good, but it is too impractical in actual combat!"

"Yeah! You see, it took him almost twenty seconds to transform. In fact, he can't transform at all during a battle."

"Yes, that's right. You can only use one weapon in a battle."

"If you ask me, I'd rather carry a few more weapons!"

"He's a newbie! It's understandable. He doesn't have enough combat experience."

"What do you think of the attack range he can hit with his two-handed sword this time?"

"."

"Buzz!"

Ryan used his two-handed sword to slash into the metal block!
At the same time, the word 32 popped up on the wisdom slate next to it!

This data immediately shocked everyone around and they started talking about it!

"Captain, this... this new guy's attack power is pretty good!" The young man's eyes suddenly widened, and he said to Skorda beside him in amazement.

"It's just not very practical! But is he really a newcomer?"

"Why haven't I heard that there is such a master using a two-handed sword among this batch of newcomers?" the young man asked doubtfully.

at the same time.

Münster, third floor of Axon Auction House.

In a magnificent study.

"Three days have passed, Assani. There is still no news from the people you sent to look for Hamis, right?" A middle-aged man with a mustache and hunting clothes leaned back in a large and comfortable suede seat, frowning slightly.

"Yes, Lord Viscount Fabien. On that day, the people from Hamis's side who stayed in Munster did not receive any news from Hamis's team. At that time, I guessed that something might have happened to him."

"According to the agreement, the summons will be sent once a day."

Fabien nodded and continued, "Then, your people just told you that they saw the sword-wielding Ryan in the city?"

"That's right, sir." Asani said with a serious expression.

After a long while, Viscount Fabien asked, "Asani, how do you think this new swordsman named Ryan was able to kill Hamis and the others?"

"Well, Ryan alone probably can't take down Hamis's team."

"I think the most likely scenario is that when Ryan went to Meister for a mission, Hamis and his men launched an attack, but were killed by other sword bearers who were traveling with Ryan."

"Besides that, I can't think of any other reasonable explanation. After all, if Hamis and his men join forces, their strength is no less than that of the elite team of the Empire's special department."

"Well, this possibility is very high." Viscount Fabien nodded and agreed.

"However, the problem still needs to be solved! Marquis Orenz has already urged me. His eldest son, Melward, urgently needs this pair of ancient troll fangs in the upcoming blood awakening ceremony."

"But, Lord Viscount, there is no team stronger than Hamis in our province right now, don't you think?" Assani suddenly looked embarrassed.

"Don't worry about that. Marquis Orenzi is a shareholder of our auction house, so the Imperial Capital Head Office will naturally dispatch experts here."

"Arrange your men to keep a close eye on this new swordsman, Ryan. The entire Munster province has been in a state of chaos recently. He should leave Munster soon to carry out his mission. If he leaves Munster again, notify me immediately."

"Yes, my lord."

After a pause, Fabien added:
"By the way, if the other party does not leave Munster in a short time, it does not matter. As long as he leaves the Sword Bearer Branch, we can take action even if he is in the city. We can blame this matter on the cult."
