Chapter 309 Great Changes in the Imperial Capital (Two Chapters in One)

This made Anna feel heartbroken!
Because the first thought in her mind was, 'Golden Town seems to have been attacked, so Ryan, as the deputy sheriff, is likely to be injured, or even'

One of the important reasons why she came here this time was that she wanted to come back and see Ryan and Mint.

Anna's slim figure was seen running quickly towards the Town of Shining Gold. But after taking a few steps, she suddenly remembered something and stopped immediately.

As the clear and short spell sounded, a ball of light flashed across her face, and her originally slightly pointed ears became no different from those of humans.

There are now more freckles on her fair and clean face, and her skin tone has become much darker.

This made Anna look no different from an ordinary human girl.

After the spell was completed, Anna continued to run towards the Town of Shining Gold.

In addition, this time she did not choose to transform into a giant elk. After all, in a human gathering place, transforming into an animal would be too conspicuous.

Soon, Anna arrived at the edge of the town of Shimmering Gold.

Sure enough, she was not wrong.

Inside the Town of Shining Gold, although it had been a while since the attack by the Black Flame Cult, the streets had been almost cleaned up.

However, due to the massive population decline, many houses are still in a state of collapse and appear to be abandoned.

The whole town looked depressed.

Anna's face changed, and she ran quickly to the location of Ryan's new home in Shining Gold Town according to her memory.

A few minutes later, she stared at the ruins in front of her, standing there blankly with a dull look on her face. At the same time, she muttered to herself, "How is this possible?"

"Will not."

"Ryan is so strong, nothing should happen to him."

But the scene before her seemed to tell her that this world was dangerous and unpredictable, so it would not be surprising even if something unexpected happened.

In fact, when the Black Flame Cult attacked, the town’s administrative hall was one of the targets of attack, and many of the surrounding houses were destroyed.

The former Ryan's new house, located next to the town's administrative hall, is naturally no exception.

After a brief panic, Anna calmed down and decided to ask others.

But when she looked around, she found that there were few pedestrians on the street, and most of them were strangers, walking in a hurry.

Fortunately, she soon saw a team of three security guards on patrol. She immediately ran up and asked anxiously:
"Hello, may I ask who is Ryan, the former deputy sheriff of Shimmergold Town?" Anna did not say the second half of the sentence, but pointed to the ruins and said.

The leading security guard looked at Anna in surprise.

I was very confused.

If this girl was a relative or friend of Lord Ryan, how could she not know that the other party had moved out of Shining Gold Town a long time ago?

However, the other person's eyes were clear and his temperament was as friendly as a girl next door. I thought it was unlikely that he was a spy of the cult, so he replied:

"Lord Ren? He doesn't live here anymore."

"Ah? Not living here anymore? That's good." Anna breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, nothing happened, it seemed like they just moved.

"Then do you know where he moved to? I'm his friend." Anna thought for a moment and asked again.

Another young security guard seemed to regard Ryan as an idol, and said with admiration:

"Lord Ryan is in a very bad shape now. I heard that he has moved to the provincial capital of Munster. But the Baron seems to have a mansion in the county town. You can go there and ask."

"Baron?" Anna's beautiful eyes widened immediately, her mouth slightly opened, and she exclaimed in amazement.

Did she hear it right?

baron?

Is Ryan already an imperial noble?

Anna's heart was suddenly filled with turmoil.

Although she had watched Ryan's strength grow by leaps and bounds, she had never expected that he would become a baron after only three months of not seeing him.

Ryan's promotion speed is too fast!
"Really? Aren't you Lord Ryan's friend? Don't you know that he was promoted to Baron a long time ago? How long has it been since you came back?" The young security guard looked at Anna in surprise.

"Well, I haven't been back for a long time." Anna explained a little embarrassedly.

However, even though she said that, she was actually a little confused. Is three months a long time?

"Thank you very much." Anna bowed like a lady to the three security guards.

"By the way, was there an attack in Goldshire?"

Now that she knew where Ryan was going, Anna was no longer anxious and started asking about the situation in Glittering Gold Town.

"Yes, you haven't been back for a long time, so you don't know where Shinjin Town is." Faced with the girl's question, several security guards were happy to answer.

After a lively conversation, Anna finally digested the series of events that had happened in Shining Gold Town during the time she was away.

Hearing those familiar names, some of whom had sacrificed their lives, and some of whom were missing, Anna's heart tightened.

"Fortunately, Ryan, Mint and the others are all fine."

"No wonder Aunt Delanna strongly opposed me coming out, saying that the situation outside is very turbulent, and I have just entered the official druid level, so my fighting ability is not that strong."

In fact, this time, after Anna successfully became a formal druid, she hurried from the Druid's Ring in Ferdinand Forest to Goldshire, thinking that she felt she could help Ryan.

In the past, she was very envious when she saw Lagre and Ryan going to Nightsong Forest together to eradicate evil.

And now, she has enough strength to be with Ryan.

In addition, she came here for another important matter.

That was when she was tidying up the study when Aunt Delanna was away on a trip, and she happened to see a secret letter.

The content of the letter was actually related to Anna's missing mother.

But unfortunately, the above description is not very detailed, and it only indicates that her mother's disappearance is likely to be related to the Axon Auction House, which has influence throughout the empire.

This made Anna excited and nervous. After thinking for a long time, she decided to quietly leave the Druid Ring.

She didn't know why Aunt Delanna didn't tell her the news.

Perhaps, he was worried that after she knew about this, she would be unable to restrain herself and come to investigate.

Of course, before leaving, Anna also left a letter for her Aunt Delanna.

The letter briefly stated that she was returning to Shining Gold Town and planned to stay for a while, so the other party didn't need to worry.

"Then let's go to Mayest County City now and find out where Ryan moved to?"

"I should be able to see Ryan and Mint soon." Anna looked into the distance with a smile on her face.

This time when she came back, she was much more confident than before.

After receiving druid-related training in the Druid Ring, her entire person, including her figure, was no longer the bean sprout-like girl she used to be.

Now she has a well-proportioned body, with curves in all the right places, and is full of youthful vitality.

With the added bonus of Druid's unique charm, if Anna reveals her true face, most of the opposite sex will stare at her intently.

What's more important is that Anna can be promoted to a formal druid in about three months. According to Aunt Dranna, her druid qualifications are rare even among pure-blooded elves.

"Perhaps, the current Ryan is no longer my opponent." Anna couldn't help but clenched her fists and laughed.

When Anna thought of Ryan's surprised expression at that time, a faint blush suddenly appeared on her fair face.

After leaving the area of ​​​​Shine Gold Town, the slim girl quickly lay on the ground. Less than two seconds later, a tall and strong giant deer appeared in her place and ran quickly.

Soon, the giant deer disappeared at the end of the road.
-
Munster.

Inside the Sword Bearer Division.

At this time, Ryan was checking the system prompts:
[Congratulations, you defeated a strong enemy and gained 13 gold skill point! 】

[Congratulations, your Will (Hidden) attribute has been improved! ]

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

I saw that the Warhammer Wizard (Legendary) profession level was upgraded by one level this time, reaching lv9 (380/10000).

The Beast Priest (Legend), who was previously at level 5, also upgraded his profession level in this battle to level 6 (1022/3000).

Calculated this way, it was equivalent to leveling up two levels, which allowed Ryan to gain 2 skill points and attribute points each.

Adding his original remaining points, the total remaining attribute points are now 8 points, the remaining skill points are 2 points, and the gold skill points have reached 16 points.

Renn glanced at the attribute panel:
Constitution: 47
Strength: 51 (2 points of strength are added during combat)
Agility: 47
Spirit: 55
Will (hidden attribute): 7
"Huh? Willpower has increased by 3 points?" Ryan showed surprise!
“No wonder, why do I feel that the influence of the Evil Flame Mark on me seems to be getting weaker and weaker, and my attack power has also increased slightly.”

While feeling happy, Ryan once again focused his attention on his talent points.

This time, after seeing the power of projection of a high-level rank, Ryan felt that he should change his job as soon as possible, and the most likely job to be changed was the epic class 'King of Thousand Blades'.

I think the strength improvement brought by the epic profession should be even higher than that of the Warhammer Wizard (Legendary) profession.

And twice in a row, if Ryan had not relied on the Warhammer Wizard's core skill "Soul Crushing Hammer", I'm afraid he would have found it difficult to overcome these two difficulties.

This made Ryan's desire to change jobs more urgent than ever before.

As for the prerequisite for changing jobs, 'mastering nine different mysteries', Ryan's current progress is (6/9), with three items left to go.

Judging from previous experience, with 3 skill points, he only needs one week to practice an extraordinary combat skill to the point of understanding its essence, such as 'Shadow Spear Throwing'.

But the problem now is that he doesn't have enough skill points. 3 points are only enough to upgrade one more extraordinary combat skill.

On average, one extraordinary combat skill can only be allocated 1 skill point.

If you cannot use skill points to upgrade after level 9, it will take at least several months.

As for switching to a subsequent profession to gain a wave of skill points?

Ryan naturally considered this method.

For example, the sequel to Breaking Bad (Super) may be found at the Munster branch of the Royal Pharmacists Association, where some clues to job transfers can be found, but how long will it take to trigger it?

This is very difficult to control.

It’s not that Ryan has no patience.

But the series of attacks and the current turbulent situation of the empire may not give him much time!

However, after upgrading the 'Primary Supernatural Enlightenment (Passive)' to an intermediate talent, how much speed can be increased?
It is still unknown at the moment. But judging from the 30% improvement in the 'primary' level, Ryan estimated that the 'intermediate level of extraordinary comprehension' would most likely be able to improve by more than 60%.

"Boom boom boom!"

A sudden knock on the door interrupted Ryan's thoughts.

Ryan opened the door and saw Olena standing outside.

But unlike her usual smart and capable appearance, she now looked anxious and depressed.

This surprised Ryan. Could it be because of the attack just now?
"Mr. Olena."

"Sir Ryan, Admiral Edward wants you to attend an emergency meeting immediately." Olena said with a forced smile.

"Okay, let's go now." Ryan nodded, his face serious.

Obviously, the Sword Bearer Branch must have received some important, or not-so-good news.

As they walked, Ryan couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Olena, what is the main content of the meeting?"

"Admiral Edward just received a message from the Red Crystal." Olena said after considering it for a moment.

"Red crystal message?" Ryan looked surprised. He didn't know what this level of message meant.

"Yes, this is the highest level of communication method in the branch."

"It is also a means of receiving real-time communications from the imperial capital of Tamriel, but it requires the consumption of a special crystal. Under normal circumstances, it will not be easily activated."

"As for the content, I'm sorry, Lord Ryan, the red crystal is set in Admiral Edward's office, so I don't know the details, but it won't be good news." Olena explained.

Ren nodded.

It seems that this red crystal communication should be similar to the central red telephone in the office of the provincial governor in the previous life.

This made his heart tremble, and he had a bad feeling.

"In addition to Diamond-level sword-wielding captains like you, the participants also include the heads of various departments within the branch," Olena told Ryan as they walked.

Soon, the two arrived at the large conference room on the top floor of the administrative building.

At this time, the long oval conference table was basically full.

In the center was Admiral Edward, and on both sides were the heads of various departments, including Yumaz, head of the mission hall, and Colonel Stanley, Admiral Edward's secretary.

Everyone had a serious look on their faces and the atmosphere in the conference hall was heavy.

Seeing Ryan come in, Admiral Edward nodded slightly to him.

Under Olena's guidance, Ryan sat next to a burly man.

"Everyone, almost everyone is here. Let's hold an emergency meeting now." Admiral Edward said after looking around.

"I just received news from the imperial capital of Tamriel. It's very bad news." Admiral Edward paused at this point.

"Our great emperor was attacked by several incarnations of foreign gods at the critical moment of his ascension to demigod. Although the imperial guardians tried their best to stop him, the emperor was still seriously injured.

"Now, the Dragun Empire has fully entered the first level of combat readiness!"

As Admiral Edward finished speaking, the conference room fell into silence for several seconds!

But then, it suddenly started to boil.

"what!"

"Promoted to demigod?"

"His Majesty the Emperor is seriously injured?"

"This"

Obviously, the amount of information contained in the few words that Admiral Edward just said was too much.

Although everyone present is a middle or senior level member of the Sword Bearers Munster branch, they are the ones who can better understand what the serious injury of the Emperor of the Empire means to the entire Dragun Empire!
The news just now was like a bolt from the blue!
And Ryan was also suddenly shocked!
But he soon calmed down and quickly thought of something.

'No wonder His Highness Menia suddenly abandoned the good situation of severely injuring the three-headed sea dragon and immediately returned to the imperial capital.'

"So His Majesty the Emperor is going to be promoted to Demigod."

"The one who launched the attack was the incarnation of an Outer God?"

Although Ryan didn't quite understand how much stronger the avatar was than the projection, it was obviously much stronger.

But with a little thought, one can understand that to be able to injure an even more powerful imperial emperor under the defense of a group of powerful imperial guardians like His Highness Menia, the power of this incarnation of god must be at least epic, or even stronger!

'It seems that the speed of improving my strength needs to be accelerated, even faster!'

"You must switch to the epic class 'King of Thousand Blades' as soon as possible!"

'When I get back, I'll add some talent 'Extraordinary Enlightenment'! '

"If the situation deteriorates further, the empire, which is in a precarious situation, may not be able to serve as a towering tree that provides shelter."

"By then, the only person you can rely on is yourself!"

"Silence!" Admiral Edward shouted loudly, with a commanding presence.

Immediately, the noisy conference room gradually calmed down.

"Everyone, fortunately for you, the Emperor of the Empire was seriously injured only after he entered the realm of demigod."

"Also, according to news from Tamriel, the incarnations of several gods also fell in the palace. Even if the opponent is a high-level being, losing an incarnation is not such a light thing."

“So, the situation is not as bad as everyone thinks.”

"only"

"It will take time for His Majesty the Emperor to recover from his injuries. Although these evil gods are gradually recovering, they will also need time to recover."

Hearing this, many people breathed a sigh of relief.

But Ryan still frowned.

Because he heard very clearly that Admiral Edward's speech just now was actually just a suppression followed by praise.

It is true that His Majesty the Emperor is seriously injured.

It is true that the imperial capital may not have the time to provide support to the major provinces in a short period of time.

"This news from Tamriel has been passed on to all provincial departments, including the Administrative Office and the Goddess Church. They have all received the relevant information."

“It’s different from the administrative office that is responsible for relocating small town residents to the county town.”

"The Empire has given us Sword Bearers two main tasks. First, the Sword Bearer branches in each province must conduct a comprehensive investigation of existing and undiscovered forbidden gates, and make sure to prevent hostile forces from opening the forbidden gates."

"Secondly, we must completely eliminate all evil cult organizations within our jurisdiction!"

Having said that, Admiral Edward turned his head slightly and looked in Ryan's direction.

Because the seats on Ryan's side represent the captains of the Diamond-level Sword Bearers, who are also the most powerful group of people in the Sword Bearers Munster branch.

And Ryan immediately thought of a problem, that is, whether his plan to go to the Bishu Construction School was a failure.

Or, at least not at this stage?

"It's not appropriate to ask today, let's see tomorrow." Ryan glanced at Admiral Edward, who looked exhausted and had not yet recovered from his injuries, and thought to himself.

The meeting was held in a hurry and ended quickly!

After a few minutes, the meeting ended.

Ryan returned to his residence again. Without any hesitation, he immediately invested some talent points in 'Primary Extraordinary Comprehension (Passive)'.

He planned to see the effect first.

If the improvement is too low, it proves that this quick fix is ​​not feasible.

We'll think of other solutions then.

At least, he still has 3 talent points left, which can be used to add other talents. This is considered a second plan.

Ryan focused his attention on the talent 'Primary Supernatural Enlightenment (Passive)' and silently added points in his mind.

In an instant, a cool air suddenly emerged in Ryan's mind. This feeling was like the state of just waking up from a deep sleep. He felt particularly clear-headed and alert.

At this time, a system prompt also appeared:
[Congratulations, your talent 'Primary Transcendental Enlightenment (Passive)' has been upgraded to 'Intermediate Transcendental Enlightenment (Passive)'! 】

Ryan immediately looked at the intermediate talent 'Intermediate Supernatural Enlightenment (Passive)' with great anticipation.

The text description is as follows:

[Weapon Master (Legendary) Exclusive Talent: Intermediate Supernatural Enlightenment (Passive)]

Intermediate Extraordinary Comprehension (Passive) Effect: The weapon master is proficient in all kinds of combat skills, and the speed of learning any extraordinary combat skills is increased by an additional 80%.

"80%?!" Ryan raised his eyebrows, looking surprised.

"This is much higher than expected! I thought it was only around 60%."

"If the experience points for practicing extraordinary combat skills were +10 before, now it is +18!"

"Sure! This means that the time spent training combat skills can be shortened by almost half!"

"The key is that I still have talent points now, which can be upgraded to advanced talents!"

After Ryan thought quickly, his eyes lit up.

Immediately, Ryan silently added points to the talent 'Intermediate Supernatural Enlightenment (Passive)'.

The same effect appears again, and the system prompt appears again:

[Congratulations, your talent 'Intermediate Extraordinary Enlightenment (Passive)' has been upgraded to 'Advanced Extraordinary Enlightenment (Passive)'! ]

Advanced Supernatural Comprehension (Passive) Effect: The weapon master is proficient in all kinds of combat skills, and the speed of learning any supernatural combat skills is increased by an additional 200%.

"200%!"

"If the original experience points for practicing extraordinary combat skills were +10, then now it is +30?"

"According to the calculation that 1 experience points are needed to advance from lv2 to lv100, I only need one-third of the original time to complete the promotion!" Ryan quickly figured out the extent of the improvement.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Lord Ryan, there is a Master Mogaro from the imperial capital outside the door. He wants to meet with you." At this time, the guard's announcement sounded outside the door.
