The wizard starts by trimming the donkey's hooves

Chapter 322: Legendary Farming Snake (Two chapters in one)

Without much hesitation, Ryan chose "No!" with a hint of regret.

At this time, the system prompt sounded again:
[Since the host has chosen 'No', the remaining evil flame mark after being tempered will be transformed into spiritual attributes! ]

[Congratulations! Your spiritual attributes have been moderately improved! ]

"what?"

"A moderate increase?"

Suddenly, Ryan felt a cool breeze in his mind, and his whole brain became unusually clear.

This surprised Ryan, and he glanced at the attribute panel:
Constitution: 47
Strength: 56 (2 points of strength are added during combat)
Agility: 47
Spirit: 59
Will (hidden attribute): 10
"My mental strength has increased by 4 points. So the medium level is 3 points or more?" Ryan muttered to himself.

He continued to scroll upwards and checked the previous battle records:
[Congratulations, you defeated a strong enemy and gained 9 gold skill point! 】

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

[Congratulations, your Will (Hidden) attribute has reached 10 points, and the remaining evil flame mark has been completely eliminated! ]

Since the Weapon Master (Legendary) profession level was just upgraded last time, it was not upgraded this time.

Adding his original remaining points, the total remaining attribute points are now 4 points, the remaining skill points are 2 points, and the gold skill points are 20 points.

"Great! I finally eliminated the evil flame mark, which solved a hidden danger. Moreover, I also absorbed its remaining energy and improved my spiritual attributes. This is a pleasant surprise!"

Ryan nodded, feeling quite happy!

At this moment, Ryan suddenly thought of a question and he looked up and around.

"There are only three people here, which seems to be a big difference from the seven or eight people Batista mentioned."

"Could it be that the others escaped?"

"No, there were only two people when the other party attacked us from the front and back just now, which means there should have been only three people here at that time." Ryan shook his head and thought to himself.

"Then there is only one answer! The other side has another team of people, and it is very likely that their purpose is to find the legendary farming snake." Ryan's eyes lit up.

After thinking for a while, Ryan walked quickly towards the mansion villa. He felt that he should tell Claire.

Just as he walked into the villa, Claire had just changed her pants and walked down.

It seemed that because of the exposure of her buttocks just now, Claire was still a little embarrassed when she saw Ryan. She lifted her hair and showed a trace of shyness.

"Claire, there is one thing. There may be more than three people in the Secret Snake Cult, so remember to tell the guards not to let their guards down." Ryan said seriously.

"Huh? Is there more?"

"Okay, I'll let them know." After hearing what Ryan said, Claire's shy expression disappeared and she returned to her heroic look.

"By the way, Ryan, why did you come to Meister this time? Do you have a mission?" Claire asked curiously.

"Well, there happened to be a mission in the fishing town this time. So, I came here." Ryan told Claire about the situation.

"Thank you, Ryan. If you hadn't arrived in time this time, I'm afraid the Habsburg family would have suffered heavy casualties."

"Don't forget, I am your guardian knight." Ryan waved his hand and said.

"By the way, where is Lord Habsburg? Is he feeling better?" Ryan suddenly thought of something and asked.

"Father has been sent to the imperial capital for treatment. One of his good friends is a master of the Royal Pharmacist Association and is quite proficient in drug treatment. He wrote a letter a few days ago saying that he is much better now."

"That's good news."

"By the way, have you heard what happened in the imperial capital?"

After the two exchanged a few pleasantries, Claire went to deal with the aftermath of the night's battle.

Ryan also returned to the bedroom that had been arranged long ago to rest.

Ryan, who was resting alone in the room, began to think about the battle he had just had with the legendary warrior Ikosela of the Secret Snake Cult.

"Obviously, the blow that sealed the victory was still the killer move from the top legendary class 'Warhammer Wizard' - 'Soul Shattering Impact'."

"If I didn't have this move, it would have been very difficult for me to win just now. Perhaps, I could rely on adding points to recover, and continuously use top-level secrets to fight a war of attrition, but whether I could kill the opponent is still unclear."

"After all, the opponent is a level 3 crystal wizard, so he can still run away if he can't defeat him."

Ryan held his chin with one hand and crossed his chest with the other, pacing back and forth in the room.

"In the battle with Blood Curse Naga High Priestess Selinis, I also relied on 'Soul Shattering Impact' to severely injure her right from the start."

"It seems that I have to find a way to transfer to the epic class 'King of Thousand Blades' as soon as possible!"

"I believe that as an epic profession, it is very likely that I will have a stronger killer weapon!"

In two consecutive battles, both were against legendary masters. If Ryan did not have the top legendary profession of Warhammer Wizard, he might not have been able to win.

This made Ryan feel a sense of urgency!

Because if in a future battle, the number of enemies is not ten, and not enough soul energy can be accumulated, it means that this killer move will be lost.

"After all, what if the enemy is alone?"

As Ryan thought about it, he no longer had the heart to rest.

Ryan planned to go to the training room on the first floor right now to practice the last extraordinary combat skill, 'Roquedilo's Guardian Cane', racing against time to complete the last condition for job transfer as soon as possible.

However, when he saw the remaining 20 gold skill points on the system panel, Ryan stopped as soon as he opened the door.

"With so many gold skill points, I should upgrade them first."

"Shadow Step is very useful. With the speed increased, it is first-rate whether it is attacking, dodging or even running."

"First, upgrade Shadow Step to the top level!"

Since the Fire Dragon Breathing Technique has already reached level 18, it exceeds the level 16 required to upgrade the Shadow Step to the top level.

So, after Ryan spent 2 gold skill points to improve Burak's assassination dance and another 4 gold skill points to break through, the system prompt sounded:
[Congratulations, you have mastered the ultimate secret of Burak's assassination dance: Shadow Step! ]

At the same time, the icon of 'Shadow Step' on the Weapon Master (Legend) panel also underwent a slight change.

In the icon, the thin man who attacked with a dagger has now become nine people, which means that in addition to the real person, the number of phantoms has increased from six to eight.

This is also confirmed by the following text:
Shadow Step (top-level secret) Effect: Use a special step that combines the Force with leg strength, leaving eight additional phantoms within a radius of fifteen meters around oneself to confuse the enemy.

(Note: This secret has been upgraded to the top level and cannot be upgraded again.)
"Has it been upgraded to the top level?" Ryan looked at the last note and pondered in silence.

“It seems that there is a difference between extraordinary combat skills. Hammer skills can continue to improve after reaching the top level, but Burak’s assassination dance steps cannot.”

"However, at least after reaching the top level, the effect is further enhanced."

"The range of the phantom has been increased from ten meters at the advanced level to fifteen meters now! The number of phantoms has also increased by two."

"I have used up 20 of the 6 gold skill points, and now I have 14 points left. I will use 8 points to upgrade the primary annihilation force field, which leaves 6 points, which can be used to upgrade another extraordinary combat skill to the top level."

"Should I choose to upgrade the lance? Or the greatsword? Or the javelin, etc." Ryan's eyes flickered.

Since the attribute conditions required by the primary annihilation force field are too high, we can only hold off for now, otherwise it will definitely be the first choice.

"The lance is still the best!"

“It can be paired with various mounts, and can also complement Shadow Step to further increase attack power.”

"In addition, it is also the most effective for breaking through the defense of wizards' shield-type magic!"

After Ryan consumed a total of 6 gold skill points, the system prompt sounded:
[Congratulations, you have mastered the ultimate secret of the Spear of Longilo: Armor-piercing strike! ]

At the same time, a powerful training memory about "Armor-Breaking Strike" flooded into Ryan's mind!
After digesting and absorbing all the memories, Ryan looked at the new icon of "Armor Breaking Strike" on the Weapon Master (Legend) panel.

The pattern within the icon changed from a knight riding a warhorse to a knight riding a dragon, and the lance was also longer, exceeding four meters.

The knight was riding the dragon and diving at high speed, and the lance in his hand was moving at an extremely high speed, stirring up a strong wind and attacking downwards.

"Huh? Interesting. Does this mean that lances and dragon riders are a good match?"

When Ryan saw the pattern, he couldn't help but smile.

When Ryan came to the training room, he didn't expect that there was already someone there.

With a sturdy and well-proportioned figure, holding a large sword that gleamed with cold light, slashing out silver arcs, who else could it be but Claire!

Claire still felt very frustrated in today's battle.

As Maest's always been a talented female knight, she was completely unable to help Ryan in the battle today.

She knew that she had to awaken her bloodline as soon as possible!
Some time before, she had vaguely felt something strange happening in her blood, and this feeling became even stronger, especially after this battle.

Claire felt that her bloodline would most likely awaken in the next one or two days.

So, after she arranged some security matters, she came to the training room.

Suddenly, as Claire swung the sword in her hand down, a dazzling arc of light flashed!

Claire remained motionless in this posture.

Ryan was about to step forward, but he immediately noticed something was wrong with Claire, which stopped him in his tracks because he could sense that Claire seemed to have some unique aura that was getting stronger.

"Epiphany?"

"No, it doesn't seem like it happened all of a sudden. It seems like..."

"Bloodline awakening?" Ryan looked at this scene in surprise and thought to himself.

As Claire's aura grew stronger, suddenly, she raised her head and shouted!
"what!!!"

What followed was a green whirlwind that suddenly appeared on her body. When she took another step with her long legs, her speed increased rapidly, leaving several afterimages on the spot, and she slashed towards the iron wooden dummy in a circular motion!

"Crack!" The extremely sturdy iron and wooden dummy was actually cut in half.

"hu~hu~"

Claire's towering chest kept rising and falling, and her fair face was flushed. Steam was rising from her head, and the sweat beads on her face reflected a faint crystal light, revealing a heroic temperament.

"Pa, pa!" Ryan clapped his hands and walked over with a smile.

At this time, Claire realized that Ryan had come to the training room without her knowing when.

"Congratulations, Claire. It looks like you have just awakened your bloodline!"

"Thank you!" Claire still felt a little uncomfortable when she saw Ryan, but the joy of her awakened bloodline dispelled this discomfort.

"Ryan, there is still a big gap in strength compared to yours." Claire looked at Ryan with her beautiful eyes and said seriously.

"Would you like to practice?" Ryan said, smiling and raising the cane in his hand.

"Of course, but, Ryan, are you going to fight me with your cane?" Claire looked at the weapon in Ryan's hand and couldn't help but laugh.

"Haha, let's try it!" Ryan smiled.

In the middle of the training room, Ryan and Claire quickly started fighting.

"Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding!"

The greatsword and Ryan's cane kept clashing!

At first, Claire still thought that Ryan really underestimated her.

But as time passed, Claire gradually calmed down and used almost all of her strength to perform Arcadia swordsmanship!

On the other hand, the smile on Ryan's face became brighter and brighter, because in just one minute of fighting, the system prompts appeared like a screen full of flashes:
[You have trained with Rockdilo's Guardian Staff, and your understanding of the subject has improved! ]

[Your skill Rockdilo's Guardian Staff is upgraded, experience value +3]

[Your skill Rockdilo's Guardian Staff is upgraded, experience value +3]

Thanks to Claire's sparring and the talent 'Advanced Supernatural Comprehension', the system would prompt an experience value increase of three almost every three or four seconds.
After just one minute, the experience bar of Rockdilo's Guardian Cane lv1 was halfway through!

This amazing speed made Ryan very happy!

"Ryan, be careful, I'm going to use my bloodline talent!" Claire warned after using the force to bounce away.

"Okay, I was just thinking about seeing your bloodline ability." Ryan nodded, feeling a little curious.

Is it the green airflow just now?

It seems to be the acceleration ability of the wind system?
"One of my bloodline abilities is acceleration!"

As soon as Claire finished speaking, two streams of green air swirled around her slender and elastic thighs.

Then, Claire's speed increased by at least 30%, and she actually created a long air wave on the spot and attacked Ryan!

"So fast!" Ryan was slightly surprised, but his hands did not move in a hurry.

He used his ultimate skill, 'Shadow Step', which instantly left many afterimages behind, and started to fight with Claire at a faster speed.

"Ding Ding Ding!"

The dense collision sounds actually became one!
Claire was surprised to find that even though she used her bloodline talent, she couldn't gain any advantage over Ryan who was holding a short staff!
"This is too perverted!"

While Claire was slightly distracted, Ryan flashed five phantoms in different postures, and at the same time, he attacked Claire with his cane!
Ryan's cane lightly touched Claire's shoulder, then he immediately moved away and stopped.

"Oh! I thought the gap between us could be narrowed, but I didn't expect that..." Claire couldn't help but sighed.

"Well, Claire, with your strength after activating your bloodline talent, I guess ordinary senior knights are no match for you. I just took advantage of your step secret." Ryan couldn't help but comfort her.

"really?"

"Of course!"

It seemed that Ryan's encouragement was quite effective. Claire competed with Ryan many times in succession!

Ryan's new extraordinary combat skill, 'Rockdilo's Guardian Wand', continued to improve, and in less than forty minutes, he reached level 4.

Since Claire had just awakened, being too tired would be bad for her body, so after a while, the two walked out of the training room.

At this time, Ryan's 'Roquedilo's Guardian Cane' has reached level 5.
-
at the same time.

Somewhere underground in Meister.

A gigantic snake-like creature was digging rapidly, and behind it was a group of men in black robes, led by a handsome middle-aged man.

"Contact Icosela and tell her that it will take us about four hours to arrive just below Earl Habsburg's residence in the county town."

"Well, about two o'clock in the morning." The handsome man thought for a moment and said.

"Yes, sir! Lord Edmundo." A man in black robe took the order respectfully and slowly retreated, as if he was going to make a contact.

"Sir, it's two o'clock in the morning, which is when people are most sleepy. This is the best time to launch an attack." A man in black robes complimented.

"Yes, sir. In addition, the power of the legendary ground snake is beyond imagination. No wonder the Pope attaches so much importance to it and asks you to come in person!" Another subordinate in a black robe looked at the rapidly digging ground snake with an admiring expression on his face and couldn't help but sigh.

"Well, with this legendary farming snake, our activities in several provinces of the empire can be connected, which is of great significance." Edmundo also smiled, nodded and said.

He completed the task of commanding the earth snakes very smoothly this time, which naturally made him in a good mood.

The next step is to go to the county town of Mayest and completely destroy the Count Habsburg family, and that will be the end of it.

As for what Icosela said in the message, about going to Munster to find a swordsman named Ryan, Edmundo had no interest in it.

One reason is that the defense forces deployed by the Dragun Empire in provincial capitals and county capitals are completely on a different level.

Moreover, the city of Münster is even more special. It is built on a mountain, and the mountain is made of various solid rocks. Even with the digging ability of the legendary earth snake, it is extremely difficult to dig a tunnel.

If he attacked by force, and the legendary land snake died in the battle, he would be in tears.

The second was to destroy the family of Count Habsburg, the Archon of Meister, which, in his opinion, was sufficient revenge for the killing of Cannon and Haldane.

Going to Münster irrationally with the "brother-supporting demon" Ecosela?

He didn't approve of this plan from the bottom of his heart.

He planned to be a little more proactive in the upcoming raid, so as to give an explanation to Ecosela.
-
At two o'clock in the morning, the moonlight is cold.

The second floor of Earl Habsburg's mansion.

Suddenly, Ryan, who was resting on the bed, opened his eyes abruptly. He just felt a palpitation, and at the same time, his "danger perception" was also giving him a warning.

"This direction." Ryan looked at the bedroom floor.

When his feet touched the ground and he was about to stand up, he felt the whole villa was shaking slightly. This amplitude of vibration might be negligible to ordinary people, but for Ryan, he immediately understood something.

Immediately, Ryan took off his arm armor and quickly jumped out of the window!

After a few seconds.

"boom!"

Under the ground of the garden, a huge, ferocious, petal-shaped mouthpart with a diameter of more than three meters suddenly rushed out, and gravel, soil and dust of various sizes were raised dozens of meters high!
Immediately afterwards, an extremely huge snake-like creature emerged from the ground.

After the other party emerged, he did not choose to dive underground again, but instead stood up part of his body.

But even if it was just a part of the body, it was higher than the villa, and the huge shadow cast under the moonlight almost covered half of the villa.

The only one that could have such power was naturally the legendary land snake.

Seeing such a huge creature, the guards naturally did not dare to move forward, but since it was not the first time they had seen the legendary land snake, the guards, after a brief commotion, stood dozens of meters away, cautiously on guard.

Loud screams were heard from the mansion and its surroundings.

Obviously, the movement of the legendary ground snake not only alarmed everyone in Count Habsburg's mansion, but even people from the surrounding mansions came out to check out the abnormality.

Above the earth snake's head, a row of black-robed monks appeared, led by Edmundo.

He just looked around, was very satisfied with the shocking effect caused by the appearance of the earth snake, and nodded.

But soon, he seemed to have thought of something, and asked in confusion, "Huh? Where's Ecosella?"

"Did you send the signal just now?" Edmundo turned his head and asked his men.

"Yes, and we also sent a message to Timshi half an hour before we arrived." A subordinate replied respectfully.

Edmundo nodded. He knew Timshi, and he was Ecosela's subordinate.

"That shouldn't be the case. The legendary ground snake made such a big noise that even without a signal, Icosela should have sensed it long ago." Edmundo frowned slightly, which gave him a bad feeling.

"Are you looking for her?"

"Oh!"

I saw a black-robed corpse with half of its head missing, thrown in front of the ground snake. It rolled around and then stopped moving.

"Ok?"

Although half of the head was missing, the slender body, the familiar black robe and the faint Ouroboros mark on half of the face made Edmundo's face change drastically!
"Ecosela?"

"Who are you? You actually killed Ecosela!" The shock in Edmundo's words was beyond words!
He thought about the worst case scenario, but the situation before him still exceeded his expectations.

How is this possible?
Icosela's strength is comparable to his. If the other party can kill Icosela, doesn't it mean that the other party also has the ability to kill him?
The group of people in black robes behind Edmundo suddenly became noisy.

Obviously, the scene before them shocked them even more!
"It's Master Ecosela!"

"Yeah! He was actually killed!"

You know, the one who died was not a pawn, he was a legendary strong man!
Whether in the empire or in the major churches, he is a top-notch strongman!
The black-robed crowd stared at the scene with wide eyes, their palms clenched tightly, and their hearts were filled with indescribable horror!
