Chapter 326: The King of Thousand Blades (Two chapters in one)

Sam paced back and forth in the living room for two circles, thought for a while, and said, "It seems that we have to move to another place."

"Garcia, continue to arrange for people to keep an eye on the mansion over there in Ryan."

"Okay, Captain. By the way, there is another situation. Ryan has moved." Garcia suddenly thought of something and said.

"Huh? Moving?" Sam couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and looked up at Garcia.

"Yes, I have personally checked it out. The original mansion is now deserted. Currently, he has moved to a new mansion in the noble district. It is luxuriously decorated and is of earl-level standard."

Garcia didn't make this clear just now because Ryan and the elf girl were not there, so he didn't know whether the operation would go on, so there was naturally no need to report.

"The noble district? That's a bit troublesome. The defense level is higher than that of the administrative district." The bald strong man touched it and said.

"It's not a big problem, Garcia. Go and investigate the patrol frequency and defense strength of the guards in the aristocratic district, and calculate the time left for us to act." Sam said after a moment of thought.

"Yes, my lord."

"Esteban, you will be responsible for arranging the evacuation route after the mission is completed. Remember to arrange the misleading personnel and mounts in advance."

"Okay, boss." A tall and thin member nodded and agreed.
-
Meister.

Count Habsburg's mansion, inside the training room on the first floor.

"Evelyn, are you interested in practicing swordsmanship with me?" Claire said with a smile.

Evelin was immediately stunned when she heard these words!
Does this mean that I have prevented trouble for Miss Anna?
Captain, you have to compensate me later!
Evelin glanced at her captain, Ryan, who was also slightly surprised. She thought about it, nodded helplessly, and said:

"Ms. Claire, I heard from the captain that you are a great knight, but I am the top knight. I hope you can show mercy."

"Cough" Ryan also noticed something was wrong and coughed.

Just when he was about to say something, Claire suddenly smiled and said:
"It's just a joke. Evelin, you're so beautiful. If I accidentally hurt you, your captain would be heartbroken."

Claire teased while glancing at Ryan with her beautiful eyes.

"If I want to practice with you, I will naturally go to your captain who has thick skin and strong muscles to practice with."

When Ryan heard Claire say this, he couldn't help but feel relieved.

He immediately understood what Claire meant.

Look, I know about your red-haired beauty lover, but I will give you face and won't embarrass her, but my status is higher than hers.

"Of course, Claire, I'll be your sparring partner."

But Anna, who was standing by, was watching this scene with her beautiful eyes shining brightly, and no one knew what she was thinking.

In fact, it was inevitable to feel jealous when seeing such a beautiful female member in Ryan's team.

However, this kind of thing is very common among the nobles. Claire, who has been influenced by it since childhood, can put herself in the right position, but it is also necessary for her to show her wings.

That's why she behaved as described above.

Claire was seen standing in the center of the field, holding a two-handed sword at an angle. The next second, green air currents lingered on her slender legs.

"Huh? Is it a bloodline ability?" Remiel, who was watching the battle on the side, couldn't help but said in surprise.

"Yes, it's a talent that increases speed." Neoro nodded and agreed.

This extremely fast knight is also a troublesome opponent for wizards and wizard apprentices.

"Shh!"

Claire rushed towards Ryan like a female leopard, slashing down from top to bottom with her sword at an incredibly fast speed.

And Ryan calmly swung his staff to block.

However, as soon as they came into contact, Ryan felt that Claire's strength and speed were slightly higher than yesterday.

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

As both of them attacked at extremely fast speeds, sparks flew and the sound of the greatsword blade and the hardened platinum staff colliding and clashing seemed to be continuous.

Faintly, with every collision, you could see a circle of white air waves surging around.

Often, the next circle of air waves explodes before the previous one has completely ended. At the same time, you can often see multiple white circular air waves appearing above the site.

These air rings also formed the movement paths of the two people.

The movement trajectories of the two originally blurry figures moving at high speed became relatively clear.

And Ryan could clearly feel the improvement in Claire's strength.

But he's not quite sure why?
Is it because after Claire's bloodline was stimulated, she entered a period of rapid growth in strength?

Or was it because the other party felt a little unhappy after seeing Evelin sparring with him?

It can't be that because of what they did yesterday, Claire's bloodline potential was developed, right?
Ryan shook his head slightly to shake the thought out of his mind.

But no matter what, he had to give in to the future countess with whom he had just established an intimate relationship.

Therefore, Ryan was almost only defending and not attacking. Fortunately, the extraordinary combat skill he practiced this time, 'Rockdilo's Guardian Cane', was an extraordinary combat skill mainly based on defense.

A few minutes later.

"clang!!!"

After the two of them collided heavily, they bounced away.

Claire's towering breasts kept rising and falling. Obviously, the outburst just now had consumed a lot of energy for her, a great knight whose bloodline had been awakened.

However, this scene still left everyone in Ryan's team stunned.

"Hiss~Are all the captain's friends so perverted?"

"This Miss Claire looks younger than me, but her fighting ability has surpassed mine." Vieri couldn't help but exclaimed.

Although he had become much more resistant to this kind of genius after following Ryan, Claire was a woman after all, so the impact was still very strong.

"Well! I'm afraid that even for me, I can only barely remain undefeated. It's unlikely to win." Angus' face became serious, he nodded and said.

Evelyn was even more shocked. She didn't expect that the earl's daughter, who had a better figure than her, was so powerful.

She originally thought that although the other party was a great knight, as a top knight, she could still compete with him by using some witchcraft. But now it seems that she is far behind.

And Ryan glanced at the system prompt:

[Your skill Rockdilo's Guardian Staff is upgraded, experience value +981]

[Congratulations, your skill Rockdilo's Guardian Staff has been upgraded to level 6]

[You have experienced a battle, and the weapon master (legendary) experience value +43]

When Ryan saw that Rockdilo's guardian staff had been upgraded to level 6 (277/3000), his eyes immediately lit up!
The effect of Claire's sparring with me is actually better than Angus's. That's great!

"Ryan, come again!" Claire said seriously after slowly exhaling.

Ok?
Suddenly there was silence in the field!
Everyone's expressions were stunned. They looked at Claire with wide eyes, then looked at Ryan, and kept silent in tacit understanding.

"Your body." Ryan thought for a moment and hesitated.

"There's nothing wrong with my body." Upon hearing this question, a hint of embarrassment appeared on Claire's face, but it quickly disappeared.

Obviously, Claire mistakenly thought that Ryan was asking about her physical recovery after the exercise last night, but in fact, Ryan just wanted to express his concern. After all, Claire had just exhausted a lot of energy.

"Okay then, tell me anytime you feel tired." Ryan nodded.

With Claire's 'help', before Ryan's dinner party, Rockdilo's Guardian Wand was upgraded to level 8.

During the dinner, Claire resumed her demeanor as the hostess of Count Habsburg's mansion, speaking gracefully and making everyone feel the hospitality.

After dinner.

Just as Ryan was wondering whether to continue going to the training room, suddenly, the blood feather in the sky sent a message telling him that Anna walked out of the Habsburg Mansion alone.

This made him stunned. Without even having time to say anything to others, he quickly followed.

Soon, Ryan followed Anna from a distance and came to a forest used for greening in the noble district of Meister.

At this time, a loud eagle cry was heard from the sky!

A huge eagle was seen in the sky. It circled twice above Anna's head and then swooped down rapidly.

This immediately made Ryan's heart tighten!
But soon, he found that there was no trace of tension on Anna's face at the moment, which immediately reminded Ryan of something.

So he continued to watch the scene from a distance without moving.

Sure enough, as the eagle flapped its huge wings and landed, the next second, the eagle transformed into a tall and elegant elf lady and appeared next to Anna.

"Aunt Delana, why did you come here in person?" At this moment, Anna was like a child who had done something wrong. She clutched the hem of her skirt tightly with her fair little hands, lowered her head, and spoke softly.

"If I didn't come, I was worried that you would run to the imperial capital!" said the elf lady named Dranna in a reproachful tone.

Although there was a hint of blame, anyone could hear the fondness she showed for Anna in her words.

It’s like a mother finding her child who has done something wrong. Although she can’t help but scold him, she feels more concern and love in her heart.

"Did you secretly read the secret letter in my drawer?"

"Hmm!" Anna lowered her head even lower, almost burying it in her chest.

"You, you, I didn't tell you because I was afraid that you would be worried about your mother and run to find her. You have no idea about the background and strength of this Axon Auction House."

"I know." Hearing this, Anna raised her head and said to Delanna with her beautiful eyes.

"Huh? Do you know the background of the Axon Auction House?" Now it was Delanna's turn to be curious, and a hint of surprise appeared on her beautiful face.

But soon, she shook her head and said, "You don't know! Do you think that what you have seen in this county town is all there is to the Yaxon Auction House?"

"Axon Auction House is a huge organization that spans the entire Dragun Empire. They have branches or offices in any larger city."

De Lanna stretched out her equally slender and white hand, smoothed the hair hanging down from Anna's forehead, and spoke slowly.

In her eyes, Anna was just a child. "Aunt, I know that their headquarters is in the imperial capital of Tamriel. The auction house is also very complicated, with many shareholders. Even each branch has local powerful nobles as shareholders."

Anna said with bright eyes, looking at her aunt with a little stubbornness.

"Huh?" Delanna's beautiful eyes widened. This time she was really surprised!

It was as if she discovered for the first time that the child in her eyes had suddenly grown up.

"You really know?"

"No, although what you said is not a special secret, it is not information you can easily learn. Anna, who have you been in contact with recently?"

"Don't tell me it was through your good friend Ryan. Based on my understanding of the administrative system of the Dragun Empire, it is absolutely impossible for a small town sheriff's deputy to know this kind of information."

Delanna emphasized the word "good friend" and looked at Anna with a serious face.

"That's not true, Aunt Delanna. Ryan is no longer the town's deputy sheriff. He is now a viscount!"

Anna blushed slightly when she heard the word Ryan, but she quickly realized what was going on and waved her hand to correct her aunt's "mistake".

"Huh? Viscount?" De Lanna was stunned for a moment, but then he was completely unconvinced.

The elves' long lifespan and relatively well-preserved classics have allowed most elves to have a better understanding of the structure of the human empire.

"How is this possible? He wasn't even a baron half a year ago, how could he become a viscount? Anna, you have to be careful. Human males are very good at sweet talk."

Hearing this, Ryan couldn't help himself.

Moreover, he also knew the other party's purpose of coming this time. Although he was concerned about Anna, he couldn't "slander" him, right?
"cough"

"Who's over there?" De Lanna asked alertly, with a sharp look in her beautiful eyes.

"Ah, Ryan! You."

"I saw you running out in the middle of the night and was worried about your safety, so..." Ryan slowly walked out of the forest with a smile on his face.

"Are you Ryan?" The vigilance in Delanna's eyes relaxed a little, but the doubt in his eyes intensified a lot!
The Ryan in her impression was obviously a skinny boy who was shorter than her, but now, the tall and strong boy in front of her was wearing mithril armor and had an extraordinary aura.

Her eyes were bright and sparkling, like the brightest stars in the night sky.

"Yes, Ms. De Lanna, we met once last time, by the carriage, do you remember?" Ryan took two steps forward, bowed slightly to De Lanna, and said.

Ryan naturally respected this aunt who cared about Anna.

After hearing Ryan tell the details of the meeting, Delanna couldn't help but nodded and began to believe that the person in front of him who seemed to have changed his body was Ryan.

"Oh you've changed so much!"

"I now believe what Anna said. Your strength is more than enough to be an imperial viscount." Delanna said as she looked at Ryan repeatedly with her beautiful eyes.

Ryan naturally knew that the other party was not interested in him, but was evaluating his own strength.

"Ryan, are you really willing to help Anna find her mother?" After thinking for a while, Delanna looked at Ryan with her beautiful eyes and asked seriously.

"of course."

"Nothing in return?"

"Need not."

“As you humans say, not asking for anything in return often means you want more, or even everything.” Drana shook his head and sighed.

"This..." Ryan was a little dumbfounded for a moment. He didn't expect Anna's Aunt Delanna to suddenly say such a "philosophical" sentence.

"Aunt Delanna, Ryan is a good man." Anna said weakly.

"Okay, Ryan, how do you plan to help Anna? Do you want to go to the imperial capital to look for her? Excuse me, even if you are very powerful, it may be difficult to realize your plan in the imperial capital."

"Uh, Ms. De Lanner, actually, I am a shareholder of the Münster Axon Auction House branch, so I will first use the auction house's internal channels to find the specific whereabouts of Anna's mother."

Ryan thought about it and told the truth.

"Ok?"

"Are you a shareholder of the Münster branch of the Axon Auction House?" This really surprised Delanna.

For a moment, Delanna didn't know what to say!
Indeed, if that was the case, then Ryan would be the best person to find his sister.

After a while, Delanna, who had digested the news, spoke:
"Ryan, I will go to Munster with you to see if what you said is true. If it is true, I can agree to let Anna stay and go to find Darien with your help."

"By the way, Darien Hawkmoon is my sister and also the name of Anna's mother."

"Of course. In fact, I plan to return to Munster tomorrow. However, Ms. De Lanner, you may need to disguise yourself a little."

"After all, the beauty of an elf will attract a lot of covetousness."

"That's great. Don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble." De Lanna nodded.

As soon as he finished speaking, Delanna quickly performed witchcraft.

Under the moonlight, a cluster of star-like lights flashed across her face, and her originally beautiful face began to deform slightly. The outline became rounder, and the skin color also became darker.

And that pair of pointed ears has become no different from that of humans, but that noble temperament is still outstanding.

Overall, De Lanna at this moment looked like a dignified lady with excellent temperament.

When Ryan and his three companions returned to Earl Habsburg's mansion, they walked into the hall and were chatting. Neolo, Angus, Evelyn and others immediately turned around and looked at them.

Not only did they see that their captain had gone out at some point, but this time, a strange, dignified lady came back with him. They couldn't help but look at each other in surprise.

"Well this is my Aunt Dranna. She will be returning to Munster with us."

"Hello, Ms. De Lanna!" Neoro and others stood up hurriedly, with a hint of shock on their faces, and bowed slightly to De Lanna.

Miss Anna's aunt?
Is this the stage of discussing marriage? Has someone from her family come over?
But, how can the captain deal with Miss Claire who has such a strong aura?

"Hello." Delanna nodded, but she could vaguely feel that several people seemed to know her identity as an elf, and there was always something wrong with the way they looked at her.

This made Delanna wonder if he hadn't used the 'disguise technique' for too long, so his skills had declined? Someone had seen through the clues.

That night, Anna and Delanna shared a room.

As the members of Ryan's team were staying at the mansion, Claire would naturally not do something like sneaking into Ryan's room in the middle of the night.

So, Ryan was the only one in the room at this time.

"Women are really troublesome, especially when there are too many of them."

However, Ryan soon regained his focus and practiced the Fire Dragon Breathing Technique as usual.

Maybe it was because his breathing method had reached level 18, after completing the set of movements, Ryan felt his body slightly warm.

At this time, two system prompts came quietly:

【Congratulations! Your physical attributes are improved! 】

【Congratulations! Your agility attribute is improved! 】

"Hmm? In this case, if I add a little more points, I can meet the job transfer requirements of 50 points each for Strength, Agility, and Vitality of the Thousand Blades King."

For a moment, Ryan, who had originally planned to rest early, suddenly became energetic.

Because the only thing he lacks to advance to the epic class 'King of Thousand Blades' is the extraordinary combat skill 'Rockdilo's Guardian Staff'.

"Let's solve it tonight!" When Ryan thought of the epic profession, he couldn't suppress his expectations.

After thinking about it, Ryan stood up and walked out of the room.

Of course, in order to improve efficiency, he thought about it for a moment and then called Angus and Vieri out of their dreams.

"Captain, it can't be that late!" Angus and Vieri looked at each other with bitterness on their faces.

Our captain is too perverted!

It's almost midnight, and they are being called up to practice with me at this time.
"I just happened to have some insights." Ryan smiled and said.

Two hours later.

The system prompts:

[Your skill Rockdilo's Guardian Staff is upgraded, experience value +634]

[Congratulations, your skill Rockdilo's Guardian Staff has been upgraded to level 9]

"Okay, you can rest now. Thank you for your hard work!"

Ryan suppressed his excitement and thanked his two teammates who were almost exhausted.

As for himself, he quickly added some skill points to his extraordinary combat skill 'Rockdilo's Guardian Cane'.

As the memory of practicing Rockdilo's Guardian Cane flooded into Ryan's mind, the system prompt sounded again:

[Congratulations, you have comprehended the primary secret of Rockdilo's Guardian Staff: Guardian Staff! ]

"The Staff of Guardian?! Great! I finally figured out this last secret!" Ryan looked at the prompt, feeling very excited.

At this moment, he naturally had no intention of looking at the new icon on the Weapon Master (Legend) panel, nor the description of the new secret 'Staff of Guardian'.

Instead, he started adding points immediately!

After Ryan increased both his physique and agility to 50, the epic career change prompt he had been waiting for finally appeared!
[Ding! The host has been detected to have triggered the special advanced job transfer of Weapon Master (Legend) - King of Thousand Blades (Epic)! ]

【晋升千刃之王（史诗）前置条件为：一、武器大师lv9以上；二、掌握九种不同奥义；三、肉体二阶破限值90%以上；四、任意呼吸法lv18以上；五、力量50点以上，敏捷50点以上，体质50点以上.当前条件符合，是/否转职千刃之王（史诗）？】

[Note: After changing to the King of Thousand Blades (Epic), the Weapon Master (Legendary) class panel will be overwritten. ]

Without any hesitation, Ryan silently said "Yes!"

【Start job transfer.】
