The wizard starts by trimming the donkey's hooves

Chapter 281 Waste Utilization (Two chapters in one)

However, at this time, Ryan looked up and looked around, and walked to the huge pits on the ground to check, and found that the legendary land snake had already run away without a trace.

Ryan picked up the replica of the emperor's scepter that had fallen to the ground. After this consumption, there was almost no remaining emperor's power.

Obviously, if you want to use it again, you have to go back to the Sword Bearer Branch to recharge it.

He was a little hesitant, not knowing whether he should take advantage of the other party's injury to catch up with the legendary land snake, or stay to protect Claire and the others.

Of course, although the Earth Snake had been injured by the imitation Emperor's Scepter, its injuries were not serious. In addition, as an ancient legendary species, the Earth Snake was also stronger than him.

Even if Ryan caught up with him, he would not be very confident that he could kill him with one blow by relying on the special effect of the Soul Shattering Hammer, the Soul Shattering Impact.

At this time, Claire, Olena and others also came to Ryan who was standing at the entrance of the cave.

Along the way, they were shocked by the numerous potholes and the mess on the garden ground.

"Ryan, you're getting stronger and stronger!" Claire walked to Ryan's side, turned her head and looked at him, and said.

"You defeated two quasi-legendary warriors one by one. Especially this Cannon from the Secret Snake Cult. I feel he is only one step away from becoming a legendary warrior."

"It's really difficult to deal with." Ryan nodded and said.

Just as Ryan was about to ask Claire about the quasi-legend, Olena walked to the other side of Ryan and said with a smile:
"Yes, Lord Ryan, you killed Laxul. I will report this matter to the Sword Bearer Branch immediately."

"Moreover, the opponent's strength is beyond our expectations. I think that the three-and-a-half-star mission rating is unfair. I will suggest to Lord Yumaz that it be upgraded to four-star gold."

"Tsk tsk, this is Laxul who caused the massacre in many small towns in Meister. This time he died at the hands of the 'Meister Battering Ram'. It can be said that he died a worthy death." Olena smiled.

"By the way, Lord Ryan, you also killed Ganon, the High Priest of the Secret Snake Cult."

"However, as this is a mission for the Sword Bearers branch of Gnom Province, I still need to communicate with the other party regarding the reward." As she spoke, Olena glanced at the three members of the Blade Team who were receiving treatment, and said.

"Thank you, Lady Olena. As for the credit for killing Ganon of the Secret Snake Cult, the Blade Squad deserves credit," Ryan said.

"Well, I understand what Lord Ryan means. I will discuss this with Captain Langgel first." Olena nodded.

At this time, Claire saw that Ryan was staring at the huge tunnel on the ground in a daze. She immediately thought of something and asked:
"Ryan, do you want to chase after that legendary land snake?"

"Well, I'm worried about this legendary farming snake. If it's not eliminated, it may come to retaliate at any time." Ryan frowned and nodded.

Olena first glanced at Ganon's headless body on the ground, then turned to look at Ryan and said:

"Sir Ryan, this legendary land snake should not be the pet of the Secret Snake Cult Ganon. It should be controlled by some evil magic of the other party."

"Now that Ganon is dead and the Earth Snake is free, it should leave on its own. It is highly likely that it will not cause us any trouble again."

"Oh? Is that so?" Ryan looked thoughtful.

If that's the case, then there's really no need to take the risk of entering the tunnel and trying to kill the other party.

It's just a pity.

The effect of 'Soul Shattering Impact' has not been tested
After all, if the enemy is too weak, its power cannot be tested.

If I had known earlier, I should have killed one more Black Flame Monk and used the Soul Shattering Shock directly on Ganon, the High Priest of the Secret Snake Cult.

Thinking of this, Ryan couldn't help but look at the headless body of Ganon of the Secret Snake Cult, feeling a little regretful.

At this time, the head maid, Xia Diya, stood behind her mistress Claire with a calm expression. She had not spoken a word, but her eyes would stare at Ryan in a daze from time to time.

However, her legs, which were clamped together and gently rubbed, seemed to prove that her heart at the moment was not as calm as her face, and still revealed some inner waves.

As an ordinary person, Xiadia hardly saw the entire battle between Ryan, Laxul and Ganon of the Secret Snake Cult clearly.

After all, the movement was so fast that it exceeded the limit of her vision.

All the head maid saw at the time were blurry shadows, flying mud, holes in the ground, flying sparks, whirlwinds and flames. In her perception, it was like a war between gods!
But there is one thing the head maid understands, that is, Ryan's physical strength is really good!
This can be easily proved by the fact that after two battles, Ryan's face still shows no signs of fatigue.

In addition, what Ganon, who controlled the earth snake, said also proved that Ryan had some kind of physical talent.

This made the head maid glance at Ryan again.

I was thinking shyly, 'Besides his physical strength, does Ryan have strengths in other areas?'

While Claire and the others were talking to Ryan, the guards nearby began to help their companions up and clean up the garden.

However, when they saw the bodies of the Black Flame Guardians, most of whom had their heads blown off, as well as the bodies of Laxul and the Secret Snake Cult Ganon.

Many guards whispered:
"Hey, Lord Ryan, why do you like to use your war hammer to blow up the enemy's heads so much?"

"It's a bloody mess with a lot of white spots, it's disgusting to look at."

"Are you scared? That's right!"

"Lord Ryan must be trying to intimidate the enemy through this fighting method!" said a young guard with an understanding expression.

The other guards looked at each other and immediately revealed expressions of sudden enlightenment.

"Right! That should be it."

"But... in this case, I think your original nickname, 'Meister Battering Ram', is not appropriate enough."

"By the way, what do you think of calling him 'Skull Crusher'?"

"That's appropriate. It's fine." A guard nodded in agreement.

"can!"

At this time, Langgel also came over, dragging his injured body.

He first looked at Ganon's body in shock, then looked at Ryan, and said with emotion: "Sir Ryan, your strength is really this!"

As Langgel spoke, he gave a thumbs-up.

Just now, the three members of their Blade Squad teamed up to fight against this Cannon, but in less than a minute, they were completely defeated!
But when Ganon fought with Lord Ryan, it also took about a minute for him to become a headless corpse!
This made Langgel not know what to say for a moment!
They are both gold-level sword-wielding captains, but the gap between them is too big.

This comparison, made under almost the same time and conditions, yields a very clear and obvious conclusion.

Of course, Langgel's compliment did not mean that he was good at flattery, but because although the sword bearer was treated very well in all aspects, there was a prerequisite, that is, he could come back alive after the mission.

Therefore, sword holders have great respect for their powerful companions.

Because sometimes, meeting a strong companion to help you can mean the difference between life and death.

"Captain Langgel, you are too kind. Without the three of you stopping him, it is very likely that Ganon would have discovered in advance that Holden was dead and would have directly ordered the Earth Snakes to destroy the villa."

After hearing what Ryan said, Langgel felt as sweet as if he had drunk honey!

Langgel naturally knew exactly what was going on with the three of them.

Even with all his strength, he was still beaten to death by Ganon, but from what Lord Ryan said, it meant that he tried his best to stop him, which was of great significance.

Listen, this is emotional intelligence!
"Oh, Captain Langgel, I want to ask you a question. What is the biggest difference between a quasi-legend or legend and our great knight?"

"Hmm? Lord Ryan, haven't you known about this?" Langgel looked at Ryan in surprise.

In his opinion, Ryan, who is about to enter the quasi-legendary level in the next step, should have a more comprehensive and profound grasp of the knowledge in this area than he does.

But in fact, Ryan had only been an official Grand Knight for more than two months, so naturally he had not learned about the relevant content.

“Well, for a great knight, to comprehend the glory of will and enter the realm of titled knight is to become a legendary strong man.” Langgel thought for a moment and said concisely.

"If one has only comprehended a little or a small part, then he is a quasi-legendary strongman."

"The Glory of Will?" Ryan frowned and said.

This seemed to be the second time he heard this statement. The last time was probably when Master Gunther vaguely mentioned it.

"Yes, that's right. To put it simply, the pressure you felt in the battle with these two just now is the entry-level influence of will." Langgel pointed at the bodies of Ganon and the other two and said.

"If you can master the elementary use of this radiance of will, you will have entered the quasi-legendary level."

However, as Langgel said this, he always felt a little awkward.

He soon realized what was wrong.

This is because, although to him, these two people are quasi-legends of a higher level, to Ryan, they are defeated opponents.

Now, he wants Ryan to learn from these two people.
That kind of pressure?
Ren nodded.

He is also a wizard and has sharper perception than Langgel.

Therefore, Ryan could feel that this pressure was a display of some kind of mental power.

"Captain Langgel is right, but, Ryan, you are still a wizard."

"For wizards, the classification of quasi-legendary warriors is simpler. That is the liquefaction of mental power, which means becoming a second-level wizard. And the legendary one is the crystallization of mental power." Claire said on the side.

"If we compare mental power to a multi-faceted crystal, then perception is one of the faces, an external manifestation of mental power. And the radiance of will is the other face of the crystal, which is another external manifestation of mental power."

"These are the exact words that I heard from Ms. Sephiris, the Ranger King known as 'Wind Walker', when I was at the Royal Academy."

"She is also a wizard and a knight. I think her words will be helpful to you." Claire said, looking at Ryan with her beautiful eyes.

Two sides of the same coin?

Ryan nodded and said, "Thank you, Miss Claire. Ms. Sephirlis' words are very inspiring to me."

But Ryan also knew that this was a concise summary.

For him, if he wants to master the brilliance of will, he still has to start from the first step.

"Everyone, I'm sorry to bother you here. I want to go back and think about it first."

"Of course, Lord Ryan, please."

Ryan returned to his room, thought about it, and then checked the system prompts:
[You have experienced a battle, Warhammer Wizard (Legend) experience value +2491]

[You have experienced a battle, and the weapon master (legendary) experience value +1387]

(Note: The above skills and experience have enjoyed a 30% increase in the exclusive talent 'Elementary Extraordinary Comprehension'.)
[Congratulations, you defeated a strong enemy and gained 3 gold skill point! 】

[Congratulations, you defeated a powerful enemy and gained 4 gold skill points!] [Congratulations, your Warhammer Wizard (Legend) career level has been upgraded!]

[Congratulations, your Warhammer Wizard (Legend) career level has been upgraded! ]

The Warhammer Wizard (Legend) profession level has risen four levels from lv1 when he just changed his profession to lv5 (591/2000).

Since the original career level of Weapon Master (Legend) had reached lv8 and was about to be upgraded, after gaining a lot of experience this time, he was also upgraded to lv9 (198/10000).

This is an unexpected surprise!

Because this happens to meet the first prerequisite of the epic profession - King of Thousand Blades (Epic), 'Weapon Master lv9 or above'.

In addition, Ryan gained another 5 attribute points and 5 skill points, plus 7 gold skill points.

It can be said to be a great harvest!

Adding his original remaining points, Ryan now has 6 remaining attribute points, 6 remaining skill points, and 8 gold skill points.

This means that Ryan can currently upgrade any of the two advanced skills, "Crushing Hammer" or "Blade Storm·Modified", to the top level.

In addition, regarding willpower, Ryan also vaguely grasped a clue.

Immediately, Ryan crossed his chest with one hand, supported his chin with the other hand, and paced back and forth in the room, thinking.
-
A few hours later.

The twenty or so Black Flame monks who escaped saw a group of familiar figures appearing at the other end of the original tunnel. Leading them was another lord of their church, Lord Freeman.

But next to him there was a strange figure as tall as a little giant.

Under the dim torchlight, the other person had disheveled hair and could not see his face clearly. He was wearing an extremely old bronze breastplate, and his exposed skin was grayish white and full of wrinkles, not as elastic as a normal person's.

What made the Black Flame monks even more fearful was that the other party exuded a fascinating aura, which made them dare not get close at all.

"Lord Freeman, it's bad! Lord Laxul was killed by Ryan."

"Ok?"

"Laxuel is dead?" Freeman's originally very good mood was covered with a layer of haze.

"So, the plan to attack Count Habsburg's mansion also failed?"

"This." The Black Flame monks looked at each other and said.

"It cannot be said that it is a complete failure. Lord Ganon of the Secret Snake Cult is still fighting."

"Huh? So you ran away? A bunch of trash!" Freeman's eyes twitched and he was furious!
"Pfft!"

The ancient hero Munger had advanced several meters at some point, and his arm, which was skinny but with visible muscle fibers and a very thick skeleton, pierced through the chest of a Black Flame monk who had escaped.

The Black Flame monk was also confused. He never expected to be attacked among the crowd of his own church.

At this moment, his whole body was like a chicken, being picked up by the arm that pierced his chest.

Red blood lines began to appear densely on his arms, and the Black Flame monk opened his mouth wide, as if he wanted to scream, but his whole body began to hunch over, shrink and become dehydrated at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Soon, his limbs turned gray and white like a mummy, drooping naturally, and his neck fell to one side.

I saw the big arm, which was obviously much redder, casually swung it and threw the body aside as if throwing away a piece of garbage.

"Since it's trash, it's useless (ancient common language)." A low and hoarse voice came out of the mouth of the ancient hero Mung, as if what he had just killed was not a human, but a chicken.

Such a cold tone made the Black Flame monks who had escaped back turn pale with fear!

"Lord Mung, although these are waste, they are loyal believers of the church after all (ancient common language), so they can still be reused." Freeman on the side explained hurriedly.

At the same time, he cursed himself secretly.

Damn! How could I forget this gentleman was beside me?

I just said something rubbish and this gentleman took it to heart.

Of course, the key point is that many words in ancient common language and modern common language have the same pronunciation, among which is the word "waste".

"My Lord, I will take you to a place where there are enough strong people for you to recover."

"Not such a waste again?"

"Of course not. Those are the elite of the Dragun Empire." Freeman was stunned and immediately laughed dryly.
-
at the same time.

Munster.

Sword Bearer Branch, top floor of the administration building.

In Admiral Edward's office.

A middle-aged man wearing an army uniform with a pair of golden branches and four crescent moons on his shoulder straps was reporting respectfully, "Admiral, I just received urgent military information from Meister."

"The forbidden door was opened by the sea tribe and the Sea God Cult together, but who would have thought that what was sealed inside was actually a three-headed sea dragon with a devilish tail. The lord guardian of the empire was not careful enough and let the other party escape into the deep sea."

"I didn't expect it to be a three-headed sea dragon with a demon tail."

"Huh? Escaped?" Admiral Edward, who was wearing a general's uniform, raised his eyebrows, finding it hard to believe the result.

Because he knew that the top leaders of the empire should know something about what might be sealed inside this forbidden door.

Moreover, ever since the news of the forbidden gate was reported, it is said that the Empire has begun preparations and has sent the Imperial Guardian.

But unexpectedly, the other party still escaped.

"Which empire guardian is coming this time?"

"It's Master Dragon Knight Menia."

"Huh? It's Her Excellency the Red Queen. I didn't expect that even she couldn't take down this three-headed sea dragon!"

As an imperial admiral, Edward naturally knew Menea's origins.

The other party is the aunt of the current Emperor of the Empire. The dragon under her is an adult female red dragon, with a fiery red body. In addition to Menia's royal status, she is honored as the "Red Queen".

Among the guardians of the empire, he is considered one of the top powerful ones.

Unexpectedly, even she failed.

"Yes, it is said that this three-headed sea dragon with a devil's tail possesses a trace of divinity. It must be loved by a certain evil god, so." Colonel Stanley explained.

"Divine creature? No wonder!" Admiral Edward's face showed understanding, but the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes became deeper.

"Yes, my lord."

"It's a turbulent time." Edward couldn't help but sigh.

This shows that the current situation faced by the empire has gradually slipped out of the empire's control, otherwise, even if this three-headed dragon with a demonic tail is a divine creature, it would not be possible to escape.

"Do the Duke of Munster and Archbishop Gomes know about this?"

"The Duke of Munster should know about it, but Archbishop Gomes probably hasn't yet."

"Well, inform Archbishop Gomes and ask them to be on high alert."

"Yes, my lord."

"By the way, what does it say?"

"Well, the request from above is to let us branch out and assign more tasks related to the Sea Clan and the Poseidon Cult to assist the operations of the Imperial Navy and Army."

"Well, follow the instructions."
-
Meister County.

The gardens of Lord Habsburg's mansion.

The Black Flame Cult's insider planted in Count Habsburg's mansion was, at this moment, shoveling dirt into the large pit dug by the legendary farming snake.

After more than an hour, his forehead was already covered with fine beads of sweat.

"Hey, Aria, you've been very diligent today. You haven't rested at all."

"Hmm" The insider who goes by the alias of Elia was obviously unwilling to pay attention to the teasing of his fellow guards beside him.

Because at this moment, his mood was broken.

He didn't expect that the attack that the club had carefully planned would end in this way!

And when he saw Laxul die at Ryan's hands, his whole body went cold.

Fortunately, he did not turn against us immediately when the attack occurred.

Otherwise, I would be lying on the ground now.

He made up his mind to stay calm for a while and not pass on any news or information to the church.

Because after Laxul and another Black Flame Guardian died at the hands of Ryan, the remaining elite members of the church actually did not know his true identity.

After some hard work, the huge hole was finally almost filled.

Elia wiped the sweat from his forehead and felt quite gratified when looking at the results of his labor.

Suddenly, he felt something was wrong, because he felt under his feet that the ground he had just leveled seemed to be shaking slightly.

"Hmm? Could it be that the earth snake is here again?"

"Don't look for me if you want to find someone, go find Ryan!" Arya's face changed, and he turned around and prepared to leave the cave.

But in an instant, an accident happened!
The soft soil splashed everywhere, and a thick gray-white dry arm suddenly stretched out from the soil and grabbed his ankle!

In an instant, Arya felt a piercing chill rushing from his tailbone to the back of his head!
"Shh!"

The next second, Aria disappeared from the spot.

I saw that Aria was dragged directly from the ground into the underground by a huge force.

A small hole with a diameter of less than one meter suddenly appeared in the large landfill pit.

The guards who saw this scene all changed their expressions!
