The wizard starts by trimming the donkey's hooves

Sword Bearer Division.

On the second floor of the training building, in the combat power test room.

Ryan looked at the deep sword marks on the metal block in front of him, and glanced at the value 32 displayed on the side, with a thoughtful look on his face.

32 degrees?

Yes, the secret derived from his giant bear swordsmanship is actually a rare sound wave secret.

If you don’t use the intermediate secret ‘Roaring War Cry’, but directly use the lv13 giant bear swordsmanship, the current 32-degree attack power is actually not small.

However

It’s not that there is no way to add it.

Ryan just recited the spell of another metal witchcraft ‘Sharpness’.

Soon, a layer of mercury-like halo suddenly lit up on the surface of the two-handed sword transformed by hardened fine gold.

Then, Ryan’s muscles swelled, and he swung the sword again, slashing the test metal block with great force!

"Sizzle!!!"

This time the power was obviously stronger than the last time. The tip of the two-handed sword was completely immersed in the originally flat metal surface.

On the wisdom slate next to it, two big words were instantly refreshed: 35!

This time, Ryan smiled.

It seems that for sharp weapons, adding sharpness can increase the attack power.

Although the increase is not large, only about 10%, but when it comes to the attack power of the great knight, every degree of increase means sweat and time invested in extraordinary combat skills.

The onlookers were in an uproar!

Obviously, everyone was surprised by the power of Ryan's sword just now.

"This is comparable to the hammer of the Bull Skorda just now, right?"

"Have you seen this young man? I have been in the Sword Bearer Munster branch for three years and have never seen him. Could he be from another provincial branch?"

"It is unlikely. Now there are attacks in many places in the empire. How can other provinces dispatch such masters?"

"Yes, even if there is no attack, they must be preparing now. It would be good to send a few people here for formality."

"Could it be someone sent by the Imperial Capital Headquarters?"

Everyone was amazed at the power of Ryan's attack, and speculated about Ryan's origins.

"Fuck! So fierce!" The young man couldn't help but burst out a swear word, amazed.

"Captain, this attack power has caught up with you!"

"But just now, the other party used the metal sharpness technique to bless it, right?"

Skoldar nodded, his face serious.

He thought he had understood why the affairs officer of the mission hall attached so much importance to Ryan.

Indeed, he looks so young, but his strength is so strong. The most important thing is that he has the rare qualification of a metal wizard, and with his extraordinary combat skills, he has a wide range of attack methods.

If this young man performs tasks, he is a real all-rounder who can perform multiple tasks, which is much more suitable than ordinary sword holders.

The only pity is that he should not have mastered the secrets of the two-handed sword.

Otherwise, he would not use the sharpness technique to improve his combat effectiveness.

You know, in the close combat of the great knight level, the situation changes rapidly, how could he give the other party the opportunity to calmly perform witchcraft.

"I think he should go upstairs for testing."

"Using witchcraft means to bless, this is no longer the pure knight path we pursue." The young man said with a little sourness.

The other party looks much younger than him, but his attack power is far better than him.

However, Ryan did not care about what everyone said, but continued to use metal transformation. It took him twenty seconds to turn the two-handed sword in his hand into a two-handed war hammer.

Just when everyone thought that Ryan had finished the test, they saw that the weapon in Ryan's hand had turned into a two-handed warhammer.

At this time, the young man next to Skorda suddenly remembered something!

Pointing at Ryan, he said in shock: "Captain, could he be the one?"

But he hadn't finished speaking yet!

"Bang!!!"

A loud noise almost shook the entire test room!

On the cross section of the two-meter-diameter metal block, a large hole with a diameter of about one meter appeared at this moment, and the depth was seventy or eighty centimeters. In addition, the metal block weighing several tons was hit on the slide rail and almost moved horizontally to the limit of the spring!

On the wisdom slate next to it, a damage value of up to 47 degrees was displayed!

Suddenly, the whole audience was silent!

The only sound was the spring device installed behind the metal block, which made a slight hissing rebound sound.

And the metal block weighing several tons was now doing reciprocating motion on the slide rail with an increasingly smaller amplitude, and gradually returned to calm.

Everyone present, including Skorda, looked like they had seen a ghost, their eyes widened and their mouths opened!

"He is the Mayest battering ram!" After a few seconds, the young man completed the words that had just been interrupted.

But at this moment, the young man didn't need to say it, many people present had already made the connection.

There was a newcomer who knocked down the obsidian giant with one hammer during the assessment. This matter was widely spread in the Munster Sword Bearer Branch, and almost most of the sword bearers knew about it.

It's just that Ryan used either a dagger, an axe, or a two-handed sword before, so everyone present didn't associate the boy in front of them with the 'Mayest battering ram'.

But now, it's even more powerful than the battering ram!

"Fuck! There is such a monster among the newcomers?"

"Fuck 47 degrees?"

"The test device is broken!"

"Yeah, this is beyond the upper limit of the Great Knight's attack power."

"Why do I feel that his hammer is more powerful than the captain of the Rock Team, Batista?"

"Indeed! It seems to be even stronger! I remember very clearly that the last time Batista hit with all his strength, it seemed to be only 45 degrees." The sword holder who spoke recalled it, his face was serious, and said.

"."

The young man originally thought that the rumor was a bit exaggerated, but he didn't expect it to be weak.

This, the two obsidian giants can't stand this hammer!

The Bull Skorda was a little dazed at this time. It turned out that all his guesses just now were wrong!

What did you mean by not comprehending the secret!

This is the high-level secret!

If it's not a high-level secret? He would never believe that the attack power can reach this level!

No wonder the Deputy Minister of Affairs Olena and the Minister of Affairs Yumaz of the Mission Hall attach so much importance to this young man.

There is no way not to pay attention!

It's because of strength!

Seeing that Ryan had finished the test, many sword holders came forward to greet him, all of them were friendly.

For Ryan, who was a potential stock at first glance, no, he was already a blue chip stock!

As long as they were normal people, they would want to make friends with him, and sword holders were no exception.

The enthusiasm of the old sword holders surprised Ryan for a moment.

But thinking about it, it was also normal.

After a round of greetings, Ryan learned a lot of common sense.

These common senses were supposed to be introduced to this group of newcomers by the instructors in the general education course this month, but because of this sudden attack across the entire province, the original plan of the Sword Holder Branch was disrupted.

"Sir Ryan, degree is a unit of measurement. Simply put, the attack power caused by a trained and strong human soldier with all his strength is one degree."

"Generally speaking, the attack power of a formal knight is about 5 to 15 degrees, and that of a great knight is generally between 15 and 30." The young man standing next to the bull Skorda, who had been quite disdainful of Ryan before, was now smiling and introducing enthusiastically.

Ryan nodded. At this moment, he suddenly thought of a question, so he asked: "What about wizards? Is there also a measurement of attack power?"

"Of course, but the attack power of formal wizards varies greatly. If a general formal wizard casts a first-level attack magic, the power can reach more than 30 degrees."

However, the young man thought about it and added:

"But in many cases, the wizard's attack methods are more strange and diverse, such as curses, guided magic, etc. If the instantaneous attack power is calculated, the power is actually not very strong, but it is extremely difficult to deal with."

After listening, Ryan nodded again, it was indeed the case.

He was deeply touched by this.

"Sir Ryan, you are from Meister, right? Recently, our team just came back from Meister County on a mission. This time, the locals suffered heavy losses." A sword holder seemed to associate Ryan with Meister from his nickname, and said in a friendly way.

"That's right. I went to Shining Gold Town, it was too miserable, there were almost no living people in the whole town!"

"What!" Ryan froze and lost his voice.

Almost no living people?

He had always thought that the extent of the attack on Shining Gold Town was the same as the last attack by the Black Flame Cult, and more than a hundred people were killed and injured.

Now, listening to the tone of this sword holder, it is much more serious!

Originally, he planned to go back to Shining Gold Town in two days to take a look, and visit the injured Earl Habsburg in the county town.

In an instant, those familiar and vivid faces in the town of Shining Gold flashed through Ryan's mind like slides, including his best friend George, Sheriff Hamilton, old captain of the Night Watch, Willen, and Aunt Sima.

"Sir Ryan, is there anyone you know in Shining Gold?" The sword bearer beside him saw Ryan's shocked expression and couldn't help but ask with concern.

Although they knew that Ryan was from Mayest County, they didn't know that Ryan happened to be from Shining Gold.

Ryan came back to his senses at this time, nodded with an ugly face, looked around, and said to everyone:

"Sorry, everyone, let's talk next time."

"Okay, Sir Ryan."

"It seems that Sir Ryan should have relatives in Shining Gold." Many people looked at Ryan's figure walking away quickly and said.

After a while, Ryan returned to his room, took the skull warhammer, and walked quickly towards the gate of the sword bearer branch. He planned to go to the villa purchased by Jenny nearby.

He just thought of his family.

Although there were elite cavalry guards sent by Javier, Ryan felt that it was not so safe when he thought of the tragic situation in Shining Gold Town he had just heard. He planned to pick up his family in person.

Coincidentally, Ryan had just walked out of the gate of the Sword Bearer Branch when a familiar figure hurried over. It was the short Matteo.

This made Ryan's heart suddenly "beat".

Could it be that...

"Lord Ryan, your parents, sister and Baroness Crowley have just arrived in Munster." Matteo naturally saw Ryan just walking out of the gate, and his face lit up, and he walked up quickly.

Hearing this news, Ryan was relieved immediately.

"Well, we'll go there right away. By the way, Matteo, has Miss Jenny found a new residence?" Ryan asked as he walked.

This matter was explained to Jenny before he left Munster last time.

"No, Miss Jenny and Miss Agatha have been to many places these two days, but they haven't found a suitable place to live. I heard that recently, many wealthy businessmen and nobles have come to Munster from other counties, and they are all flocking to Munster to buy houses."

"In the past few days, even the housing prices in the civilian area of ​​Munster have been raised by at least 30%, and they are still rising. The villas in the noble area and the administrative area are almost all snapped up, and the prices have risen by at least 50%."

Matteo briefly told Ryan about the recent fluctuations in Munster's housing prices.

Ryan nodded.

It seems that the local situation has become unstable with this attack.

Those who have the ability have come to Munster to buy real estate.

When Ryan and Matteo arrived at the villa, they saw servants moving things in and out before they entered the door.

Seeing Ryan's arrival, mother Emma and father old Ryan were excited beyond words.

"Brother!" The younger sister Mint had obviously grown taller. After seeing Ryan, she rushed into her brother's arms from teasing 'Cookie'.

The beautiful woman Jennifer was still radiant, but at this time, it was not suitable for her to go forward and tell Ryan her heart. She could only gaze at Ryan with her big watery eyes.

"By the way, Ryan, do you know that something happened in Shining Gold Town? It is said that even the sheriff was killed by the cult!" Mother Emma had a lingering fear on her face.

"Fortunately, you asked us to move to the county town at that time, otherwise..."

Hearing this news, the little man Matteo on the side froze all over and couldn't help but said in a lost voice: "Aunt Emma, ​​you just said Lord Hamilton..."

"Yes, this matter can be confirmed. Lord Hamilton unfortunately died." The beautiful woman Jennifer stepped forward and said affirmatively.

Matteo naturally knew that the Baroness Crowley in front of him controlled the Hammer and Rose Chamber of Commerce. With the care of Lord Ryan, she was not very popular in Meister, but she had a wide network of contacts and was well-informed.

Matteo, who got the accurate letter, was a little absent-minded for a while, but then he felt a little fortunate.

Fortunately, his family had moved to the county town with him before.

At this time, the beautiful woman Jennifer hesitated and turned to Ryan and said, "Baron Ryan, here is a letter... A letter that has been passed to me. It seems to be a friend of yours."

"Huh?" Ryan looked puzzled and took the letter handed to him by the beautiful woman.

To be precise, this is not a letter, but just a piece of paper, and it is a dirty and slightly damaged piece of paper.

The handwriting on it is very sloppy, as if it was written in a panic.

There were still a few drops of dark red blood on the pale yellow paper.

It read:

"Ryan, I'm George. At this moment, I'm terrified. My eyes, nose and ears are bleeding, and so is my father. I know we're all going to die."

"You're the most powerful person I know, and my best friend ever."

"Help."

The content of the letter ended after the last two words - 'Help'.

It's George!

Ryan was suddenly in a heavy mood!

Because of his original body, George could be called his first friend since he came to this world!

George, we're not the best friends we once were, but the best friends we've always been, Ryan said silently in his heart.

Black Flame Church!

You bunch of bastards, just wait and see!

Ryan was more angry than sad at this moment, and it seemed as if there was a fire burning in his chest!

However, as a member of the Empire Sword Bearer, he couldn't act at will.

After calming down, Ryan planned to go back to the Sword Bearer Branch and visit the mission hall to see if there were any missions related to the Black Flame Cult in Mayster County.

If there were, he would take them!

Before leaving, Ryan said a few words to the beautiful woman Jennifer.

"Father, mother, I'm going to the Sword Bearer Branch and will be back before dinner." Ryan said hello to his mother Emma and his father Old Ryan.

At the same time.

In the sky, the imperial capital flew to a large airship in Munster.

A girl wearing a noble hunting suit and carrying a two-handed sword was looking down at the distant scenery from a high altitude.

The girl's hunting suit, which fits her skin tightly, outlines her beautiful figure, especially her tight buttocks and round and elastic thighs, which are extremely eye-catching.

From the front, the girl has a beautiful oval face, but it is not the kind of soft beauty. The slightly thick eyebrows and the shape of carrying a big sword give people the overall feeling that she looks quite heroic!

In just over ten minutes, four or five nobles who were also on the airship came to chat with her, one of whom was an old earl in his fifties.

This made the girl frown slightly, and she was annoyed!

Soon, she returned to her cabin.

In the cabin, a middle-aged woman dressed as a maid was already there. Seeing the girl come in, she stood up respectfully and said, "Miss Claire, the earl asked you not to return to Meister."

"But you..."

Claire waved her hand and said, "Shadiya, the Imperial Royal Academy is about to have spring break, and besides, my father is seriously injured, I can't not come back."

"Besides, I also heard in the imperial capital that the current situation in the province of Munster is somewhat turbulent, and Meister, as the family's fiefdom for hundreds of years, is even worse this time.

"By the way, didn't my father say before that he would summon his old subordinates? How are they now?"

"This. Except for Viscount Brissot who sent two top knights, the other adults only sent one or two newly promoted official knights or a team of cavalry as a symbol." In response to Claire's inquiry, Shadiya said with a grim face.

A month ago, Shadiya was transferred from the Habsburg Manor to the Earl's Mansion in Meister County.

When the attack occurred a few days ago, Earl Habsburg was seriously injured, and she was arranged to take the military airship immediately to the imperial capital to contact Claire and ask her not to return to Meister for the time being.

Regarding the current situation in Meister County, most of Earl Habsburg's old subordinates or friendly noble families believe that there is no value in saving it.

With the cult attack and the invasion of the sea tribe, the current situation in Meister is no longer something that a count family can turn the tide.

It is unwise to continue to invest manpower, material resources and financial resources.

The best choice is to arrange the withdrawal of some of the Habsburg family's industries and personnel first.

It's not that Count Habsburg didn't consider hiring mercenaries, but because the mercenary groups in Munster are mixed, it's hard to guarantee that there are no cultists lurking among them.

And those famous mercenary groups with a good reputation have already had employers in the turbulent situation.

Xia Diya thought for a while, and asked casually: "Miss, is it possible for those people who pursue you in the imperial capital."

"They all want to marry, I don't want to tie myself up so soon, but if there is really no choice, let's talk about it later." Claire waved her hand and said.

Faced with the dilemma faced by the Habsburg family at this time, Claire, the talented female knight of Meister, also frowned and was at a loss.

Although she has only studied in the Imperial Royal Academy for about half a year, her strength has improved rapidly. From a senior knight when she first went there half a year ago, she has now entered the peak knight.

This speed of improvement can squeeze into the upper class even in the Dragun Imperial Royal Academy where geniuses gather.

In addition, Claire's appearance and figure are first-rate. Although her origin as a local hereditary earl is a minus point in the Royal Academy, Claire generally has many suitors, including the sons of dukes and marquises.

But Claire is not very interested in any of them.

Her longing for the path of knighthood is far better than marrying a son of a noble family.

"By the way, Miss, why don't you find Mr. Ryan." Shadiya added the word "Sir" appropriately.

"Ryan?" Claire couldn't help but think of the thin figure she had taught sword skills in the Habsburg manor.

She hadn't seen this Ryan, who should be considered her follower, for more than half a year.

The last time she heard the news, the other party became a formal knight, which surprised her!

Later, she heard that Ryan passed the imperial canonization assessment and became a baron!

The latest news was from a letter from her father, Count Habsburg, saying that Ryan had become a peak knight and successfully joined the Imperial Sword Bearers. This was too surprising for her!

In half a year, an ordinary farm boy became a peak knight like her?

Goddess!

But Claire knew very well that she and Ryan had never conducted any form of loyalty ceremony.

At that time, she never thought that the boy she was only optimistic about would have such amazing talent!

This made her completely unsure at the moment that she could ask Ryan for help, although she was the enlightenment teacher of Ryan's knighthood.

Moreover, a peak knight was better than nothing for the current difficulties faced by the family, and it was just a drop in the bucket.

"I heard from the last news that he joined the Sword Bearers?" Claire hesitated for a moment and asked.

"Yes, Miss."

"Then go and see him after you get to Munster. It would be good if you can get the help of another peak knight." Claire sighed softly and said.
