The wizard starts by trimming the donkey's hooves

This is the first time that Ryan has read a breathing method of excellent quality.

The previous giant bear breathing method was only of ordinary level. Even with the internal breathing method learned from Master Gunther, the two were improved after the combination.

But according to the level or quality, it is only of excellent quality.

It is still a whole level away from excellent quality.

On the other hand, Ryan also gradually experienced that his current bear king breathing method seemed to have limitations on the development of all aspects of his body.

Before he entered the level of the Great Knight, this was not obvious.

That was because the bear king breathing method was added to a very high level by him, so it felt that the breathing method had a very obvious improvement on various attributes of the body.

But when Ryan entered the Great Knight, especially the senior Great Knight, the weakness of the breathing method in this aspect gradually emerged.

Otherwise, Ryan would not have taken the initiative to ask the instructor of the Sword Bearer Division about the breathing method.

Although Claire's words last night were full of apologies, meaning that she didn't expect Ryan to have such outstanding talent, and apologized for not teaching him a better breathing method at the beginning.

But Ryan didn't care, because when he was still a child servant, Claire was able to teach him an ordinary-level giant bear breathing method, which was already a favor from a mentor.

How could he blame the other party for not giving him a high-quality breathing method?

Moreover, Claire's vision was not wrong.

The problem was with him, he had a cheat, not outstanding talent.

Although he was indeed outstanding now, that was a talent he had only after cheating.

In addition, Ryan's current physical development mainly relied on adding points and taking more potions, so the progress of physical development was still very fast and was not much affected by the breathing method.

But if he could gain some insights and experience from this excellent quality breathing method, it would naturally be a great thing, and Ryan couldn't help but do it.

"Huh?"

"There are actually twenty-one movements?"

Putting the parchment scroll of the 'Fire Iguana Breathing Method' on the desk and spreading it out, Ryan was surprised to find that there were a full twenty-one different postures of practice movements on the parchment scroll.

"This is exactly three times the seven movements of the Giant Bear Breathing Method!" Ryan couldn't help but sigh.

Just from the number of movements, Ryan felt that the gap between the two was much larger than he had imagined.

This made Ryan's face solemn and he looked at it seriously.

Although Claire suggested that he use it as a reference at the time, Ryan thought about it and decided to give it a try.

After all, some of the previous movements seemed to be basic movements, and there would be no problem if they were practiced.

In addition, he is now a senior knight. If he feels that his body is abnormal during practice, he can stop at any time.

The first movement of the Fire Iguana Breathing Method is quite difficult, similar to the 'Reverse Head-to-Knee Style' of Ryan's previous life yoga, which requires high flexibility.

Of course, this is compared with the Giant Bear Breathing Method and beginners.

For Ryan's current physical fitness at the level of a great knight, this action is naturally not difficult.

A few seconds later, Ryan posed the reverse head-to-knee pose, and exhaled and exhaled slowly according to the rhythm requirements.

Suddenly, the system prompt sounded:

[You have practiced the Fire Iguana Breathing Method, and the relevant understanding has been improved! ]

[You have comprehended a new skill - Fire Iguana Breathing Method]

[Your skill Fire Iguana Breathing Method has been improved, experience value +1]

[It is detected that the host has practiced the Bear King Breathing Method, which is also a breathing method, and it is judged to be fused]

[The fusion is judged to have failed! The Fire Iguana Breathing Method does not meet the minimum fusion conditions. ]

"This is."

Seeing this series of prompts, Ryan read it carefully several times, and his heart gradually became happy.

According to the last sentence of the system prompt, it is obvious that the excellent quality Fire Iguana Breathing Method and the excellent quality Bear King Breathing Method can be fused.

However, the fusion needs to meet certain conditions.

Ryan immediately thought of the integration process of the internal breathing method when he was practicing with Master Gunther before, which was also similar.

It is not that once you learn the inner breathing method, you can integrate and improve the level of the giant bear breathing method.

Instead, the fusion is successful after the conditions are met.

"Remember that time, it seemed that the inner breathing method reached the level 3?"

"Or is it based on the feeling at that time? The subtle interaction between the inner breathing method and the giant bear breathing method." Ryan thought.

After thinking about it, Ryan decided to practice the entire set of 21 movements of the "Fire Iguana Breathing Method" first.

Maybe this is also a prerequisite for fusion.

So, Ryan immediately started practicing the second movement.

Similarly, he quickly mastered it in less than half a minute.

Next, it was the third movement.

Half an hour later, Ryan had practiced the seventeenth movement.

About from the eighth movement, Ryan felt a little discomfort in his body.

Now, after the seventeenth movement, this feeling is more obvious.

It seems that some hidden small muscle groups and small fascia in the body have been stretched many times, which did not have this feeling in the previous bear king breathing method.

In addition, some muscle groups strengthened by the Bear King Breathing Method seem to be vaguely incompatible with the current Fire Iguana Breathing Method movements.

Of course, it doesn’t mean that Ryan can’t do the whole set of movements.

With Ryan’s physical fitness as a senior knight, he can naturally do the whole set of movements.

It’s just awkward, and Ryan can vaguely feel that this set of movements has no effect on his body, but has caused slight damage.

Ryan’s mind is somewhat clear.

This should be what the sword-wielding instructor said before, because the body has long adapted to the initial breathing method and has changed and adapted to it, and has basically gradually taken shape.

If the breathing method is suddenly changed, the strength will stagnate for several years.

Once the body does not adapt to the new breathing method, after a few years, the strength will regress and the body will be seriously damaged.

However, Ryan’s purpose was not to change the breathing method.

After another half an hour, Ryan touched the sweat on his head. He finally did all 21 movements.

He glanced at the ‘Fire Iguana Breathing Method lv2 (2/300)’ displayed on the system panel.

I didn’t expect to reach the lv2 level so quickly.

Back then, it took him four or five days to reach level 2 of the Giant Bear Breathing Technique.

Now, it only took him one hour to reach level 2, and this is an excellent quality breathing technique.

But this is normal, after all, it is a "dimensionality reduction strike" for a senior knight to practice this breathing technique.

At this time, the system prompt sounded again:

[Ding! The host's Fire Iguana Breathing Technique has been detected to have reached the lowest level of integration into the Bear King Breathing Technique. The current conditions are met and it can be integrated into a new breathing technique. This fusion requires 4 gold skill points. Yes/No to choose fusion? ]

(Note: After fusion, the Bear King Breathing Technique will not be displayed on the panel, but the host can still use related secrets and derived mysteries.)

(Note: After fusion, the new breathing technique will combine the advantages of the Fire Iguana Breathing Technique and the Bear King Breathing Technique and improve them, and the host's experience value in the Bear King Breathing Technique will be converted into the improved new breathing technique experience value according to a certain ratio.)

This immediately made Ryan overjoyed.

He didn't expect that this fusion prompt would appear so quickly.

"Knock, knock, knock!" At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Huh? Why is there someone here so early in the morning?" Ryan frowned slightly.

He was just about to integrate the breathing method at this time, and he was naturally unhappy to be interrupted.

Ryan opened the door and saw that it was the capable young woman Olena outside the door.

"Good morning, Lord Ryan, I just heard from the guard that you have been to the training room, and I just know that you are up. You are really diligent." Olena greeted with a smile.

Don't hit a smiling person, Ryan nodded, forced a smile, and said: "Lord Olena, good morning, is there anything?"

"Well, it's like this, Lord Ryan, I received a letter from Admiral Edward last night."

"The admiral hopes that after you finish your business here, you can return to the Sword Bearer Branch as soon as possible. He is very interested in the process of your killing the epic strongman."

"This. OK, I know." Ryan frowned slightly.

This matter is actually quite troublesome.

Ryan had thought of several explanations for how to conceal the core skill of the Warhammer wizard, the Soul Crushing Hammer.

However, in the eyes of an old fox like Admiral Edward, it was not so easy to get away with it.

Ryan initially thought that this ability was attributed to the skull hammer.

And as the skull hammer shattered, somehow, he had this strange ability.

As for whether to believe it or not?

That was none of his business.

The good thing about the extraordinary world was that some strange phenomena would occasionally occur, and his was not particularly exaggerated.

In addition, he was also a wizard, and he had a natural advantage in explaining some mysterious things.

"Oh, there is one more thing. The admiral wants to send the body of the cult epic hero, 'Ancient Hero Munger', to Munster as soon as possible."

"The admiral will be responsible for contacting Archbishop Gomes of the Goddess Church to find out the other party's origin as soon as possible."

"After all, epic heroes, even in ancient times, were well-known big figures, and their origins can basically be found in ancient books."

"This will be of great help in removing the mark on you later." Olena explained.

Ryan nodded, his brows relaxed, and said, "Of course, I'll trouble you, Ms. Olena, to convey my gratitude to Admiral Edward for this matter."

This is a good thing. He didn't expect that Admiral Edward would attach so much importance to the fact that he was marked.

"No trouble, Mr. Ryan, it's my honor. If the people in the branch knew that I would bring back the body of an epic hero this time, I don't know how many people would envy me."

Olena lifted the hair by her ear and chuckled.

She continued, "Then I will contact the Griffin Knights for escort and take the military airship back to Munster."

"Well, I will stay for two more days. If the situation stabilizes, I will return to Munster as soon as possible." Ryan nodded.

Although from the mission point of view, the three gold-level missions of 'killing the 'Blood Burner' Laxul', 'investigating the truth behind the attack on Meister', and 'protecting the governor of Meister County' have been successfully completed.

But from a personal point of view, he is now Claire's guardian knight and cannot just leave like this.

It will take at least two days of observation to confirm that there is no problem before returning to Munster.

"Okay, Lord Ryan, sorry to bother you."

"Have a nice trip!"

--

Munster, third floor of the Axon Auction House.

In a magnificent study.

Viscount Fabien and Asani welcomed a distinguished guest from the imperial capital, Marquis Orenz's younger brother, Drake Orenz.

The other party's arrival was naturally beyond the expectations of the two.

Originally, Fabien thought that the head office should send someone to apologize to Ryan, but he didn't expect such a person to come. Obviously, he was not here to apologize.

The ancient troll tusk is of extraordinary significance to Marquis Orenz. It seems that it should be difficult to buy it from other places in a short period of time, so Drake Orenz came here.

"Sir Fabien, please send this invitation to an old friend of mine in the Sword Bearer branch in Munster." The middle-aged man in aristocratic hunting suit handed a gorgeous invitation to Viscount Fabien with a smile.

"Of course, Lord Drake, I will go there in person." After Fabien took it, he immediately walked out of the room and got on the carriage.

Curious, he looked at the letterhead in the invitation, which read 'Dear Stanley.'

Stanley?

He has heard of this person, and it seems to be a senior executive of the Sword Bearer branch.

Half an hour later.

"Huh? Drake came to Munster?" Colonel Stanley, who received the invitation, frowned slightly.

He and Drake had a good relationship, but not to the extent that the other party came to Munster to see him. The two were classmates at the Imperial Royal Academy.

"If he didn't just happen to pass by, he should have something to ask me? But what can I do to help him?"

The Sword Bearer Organization is almost all official business, and the tasks are all from official channels.

Soon, the two met.

After a brief greeting, Drake smiled and said, "Stanley, I have a small favor here, and I need your help, my old classmate."

"Drake, with your current status, if you can't solve it, how can I help?" Stanley also smiled and said.

"Hehe, this matter is just within your rights, so."

"Oh? Within my authority? Is it the Munster Sword Bearer Branch?" Stanley's smile faded.

He didn't expect that this old classmate Drake in front of him really had something to ask him for help.

"Yes."

"In these few days, it may be today or tomorrow. A sword bearer of the Munster branch may die in an accident, but this matter still needs you to suppress it a little to avoid the spread of the impact."

Drake said cryptically.

"Hmm?" Stanley's face was solemn, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Is there no possibility of communication?"

"Basically there is no possibility. In addition, this is not what I mean, but what my brother, Marquis Orenz, means. Old classmate, please help me."

Marquis Orenz?

Stanley groaned in silence. He naturally didn't want to do such a thing.

But sometimes there was no way.

Just like the imperial nobles, they were a privileged class compared to the common people.

But in fact, the nobles were also divided into different levels. The nobles who stood at the top and had a long tradition were the privileged among the privileged. The hereditary dukes and marquises were the people at the top.

"Then you must make the compensation you should do well." Stanley sighed and nodded reluctantly.

"Of course, I will not embarrass your old classmate on this point." Drake saw Stanley agreed and nodded with a smile.

Suddenly, Stanley thought of something.

He just heard him ask: "By the way, old classmate, what is the name of the sword holder?"

"Don't worry, he is not the senior one with a big influence. He is a newcomer, but I heard that his strength is not bad." Drake said casually.

Stanley's face changed!

Newcomer?

When he heard this word now, he would immediately think of a person.

Not bad strength?

The corners of Stanley's eyes began to twitch slightly.

Could it be!

His face became serious, his eyes fixed on Draco, and he asked anxiously: "Draco, don't tell me it's Ryan?"

"Huh? How do you know?" Draco was stunned!

He immediately thought that Stanley must have recruited this new swordsman, such as asking him to be a follower or something.

"Fuck!"

Stanley's face suddenly changed, and he stood up suddenly and cursed.

Since he became Admiral Edward's secretary, he hasn't cursed like this for a long time.

"Draco! Do you know what you are doing!"

--

At the same time.

In the county city of Mayest, the mansion of Earl Habsburg.

In Claire's study.

"Claire, I have something to ask you about the Blood Breathing Method."

"Is there any difference between the Blood Breathing Method and other breathing methods?" Ryan wanted to ask more about the fusion of breathing methods, as he didn't know anything about the Blood Breathing Method.

After all, he now had enough gold skill points and could fuse at any time.

"Of course, about..." Just as Claire started to speak, Ryan suddenly interrupted her.

"Claire, I suddenly remembered that Count Habsburg seemed to have sent someone to look for you just now. Why don't you go and see him first, and we can talk when you are free."

"Hmm?" Claire looked at Ryan in confusion, but the next second she seemed to understand something, nodded, and left the room.

"Who is eavesdropping there?" Ryan's eyes sternly looked at a dark corner of the room.

Since he entered the room, he sensed a faint breath there. At first, he thought it was some kind of secret guard of the Habsburg family.

But when he thought about it carefully, he found that it should not be.

Because in such a fierce battle in the past two days, no such "shadow guard" appeared.

In other words, even if there is, the number should be very limited, and it should be closely guarding the seriously injured Count Habsburg.

"Hehe, very keen perception, as expected, Grant's death in your hands is not accidental."

A voice sounded in the room.

However, this sound seemed to be surround sound, as if the sound came from several corners of the wall, making it impossible to determine the other party's position.

Grant?

Ryan immediately realized the other party's origin.

He thought the other party was a member of the Black Flame Cult.

But now it seems that he is not, but someone sent by the Axon Head Office. Of course, he may also be a friend of Grant, the 'Ice Messenger'.

"Are you from the head office of the Axon Auction House in the Imperial Capital?" Ryan said in a deep voice.

"Whether you are or not, it has nothing to do with the dead. I'll give you a chance. If you take the initiative to hand over the ancient troll fangs, I will let you die more comfortably."

"Looking for death!"

I don't know if it was because of the influence of the mark, Ryan faced this person who threatened him, and a sense of anger suddenly arose in his heart.

A dangerous aura began to spread from Ryan.

"Hehe, looking for death? Then let you suffer a little first." Elixiu narrowed his eyes and said.

He had read the intelligence and knew that Ryan killed Grant in three moves, but he thought to himself that if it was a sneak attack, he could do the same.

His rare dagger had the miraculous effect of breaking the shields of various elements.

After reading some of Ryan's experiences, Elihu was sure that his judgment was correct. The weapon in the opponent's hand should be the same as his, which was quite special.

It was precisely relying on this unexpectedness that the opponent was able to kill Grant in three moves.

"Swish!"

A dagger-like throwing weapon shot at Ryan from the corner.

Because the distance was too close and the speed was as fast as lightning, Ryan had almost no room to dodge.

But Elihu's originally smiling face froze!

Because he saw that Ryan did not dodge or avoid, but suddenly spun at high speed like a gyroscope. In an instant, a whirlwind suddenly rose in the room, mixed with sharp whistling sounds.

Obviously, Elihu did not expect that Ryan would not dodge his throwing weapon, but immediately choose to launch a counterattack.

Suddenly, the dense four-cornered darts forced him to reveal his figure.

"Ding Ding Dang Dang!"

A thin man wearing a hood and dark leather armor was seen swinging his two daggers rapidly in the shadows, knocking away more than ten four-cornered darts that attacked him, with extremely sharp movements.

"I got you, little mouse!"

As soon as the voice fell!

Elihu felt the alarm bells ringing, a gust of wind hit his face, and a black shadow slashed down from top to bottom.

In a flash, Elihu crossed his two daggers and stretched them across his head, trying to resist Ryan's slash.

"Dang!!!"

The ear-piercing sound of metal clashing came, but the next second, he screamed!

He saw a sword slashed in the middle of his head. If he hadn't instinctively retracted his neck at the critical moment, his head would have been broken in half!

The key is that Elihu was a little confused!

What did he see just now!

The greatsword in Ryan's hand was actually bent!

Moreover, it was not an ordinary bend, but a bend of nearly ninety degrees.

Being seriously injured in one move, Elixiu knew that if he didn't fight hard today, he would probably stay here.

In an instant, his face turned fierce, and he did not retreat but advanced towards Ryan, stabbing dozens of times with both hands, and the dense dagger shadows stabbed at the vital points of Ryan's body.

"Ding! Ding! Ding!"

After just one stab, Elixiu felt something was wrong. His dagger of the level of a strange object could not penetrate after piercing the opponent's armor. The resistance was very great.

"That's it?" Ryan grinned.

"Shua shua shua!"

In a flash, Elixiu's body had dozens of blood holes, all of which were caused by the sharp knuckles in Ryan's hand that instantly transformed.

Suddenly, Elixiu's eyes widened, and the whole person shook like a sieve.

"Puff!"

I saw that four more blood holes appeared on his forehead in an instant, and he died on the spot.

Ryan only used two moves, ‘Blade Storm’ and ‘Heavy Punch Combo’.

One move less than ‘Ice Messenger’ Grant.

At this time, the guards heard the movement in the room and rushed in.

When they saw the debris in the room, the dense four-cornered darts on the wall, and the skinny leather-armored man with a crooked neck in Ryan’s hand, they were stunned.

“Lord Ryan, you…” The guards stared at the scene in front of them in amazement.

“I’m fine, you clean up here.”

“Yes, Lord Ryan.”

At this time, Claire also rushed over and saw the scene in front of her. She said: "Ryan, are you okay? Is it the Black Flame Cult?"

"It's not a cult." Ryan shook his head.

"It's just a little trouble of my own, Claire. Maybe I have to go back to Munster first."
