The wizard starts by trimming the donkey's hooves

"This should be the crystallization of spiritual power, right?" Ryan thought to himself.

At this time, the system prompt sounded again:

[It is detected that the host is breaking through the third-level wizard and unlocking the improvement limit of the second-level talent witchcraft "Cutting Net". Yes/No to improve the witchcraft? This improvement requires 28 gold skill points. 】

(Note: The improved talent witchcraft will be more suitable for the host to perform, and the power, attack range or other aspects will be improved.)

Because when he was promoted to the second-level wizard before, there was an improvement and optimization of the first-level talent witchcraft "Metal Transfiguration".

Therefore, Ryan was not particularly surprised to see this system prompt.

Without any hesitation, Ryan immediately chose "Yes"!

In an instant, a huge memory of the improvement of the second-level talent witchcraft "Cutting Net" began to flow into Ryan's mind.

For a while, it seemed that Ryan had spent nearly a hundred years in a mysterious space to improve the Cutting Net and fine-tune its witchcraft model to make it more suitable for his own spell-casting habits.

At the same time, the three layers of spiritual power crystals in the spiritual sea also underwent synchronous fine-tuning.

Soon, the system prompt came again:

[Ding! The host's second-level talent witchcraft "Cutting Net" has been improved, and the new witchcraft model has been successfully adjusted. The witchcraft power has increased by 13% and the spiritual power consumption has decreased by 18%. 】

"Not bad!" Ryan's eyes lit up.

"Although it consumes more gold skill points than metal transformation, as a second-level witchcraft, it is quite good to be able to increase its power again."

The improvement of the second-level talent witchcraft is only a small part of this promotion. At this time, the system prompts appeared one after another:

[The host's spiritual power has been greatly improved. Crystallization has been enabled.]

[Ding! Successfully promoted to a third-level wizard! Spirit +25! 】

[Obtained the third-level talent witchcraft: Steel Armor]

When Ryan opened his eyes again, he felt that his perception of the world became clearer and deeper!

He could easily distinguish the subtle differences in the steps of Claire and Beyonce, who were walking quickly dozens of meters behind him.

It's not just the difference in sound, but the difference in pace and strength.

He didn't even need to turn around to sense it clearly.

Even more than a hundred meters away, among the dozens of guards, Ryan could tell the location of Dick, the sword-bearing captain, just by perception.

In addition, there is the mysterious side element energy that is invisible to the naked eye.

Although Ryan still can't see it directly, his perception at this time can already grasp very subtle differences, such as whether the distribution of energy elements around him is uniform.

Just like where he is now, the proportion of metal and shadow energy particles around him is obviously more concentrated.

Of course, this should be caused by his battle with Neyoubrekhan in the form of a half-spider demon just now.

And this subtle difference was not easy to do when he was a second-level liquefied wizard, or it was extremely difficult to distinguish.

But now, he can easily perceive it clearly.

Soon, Ryan focused his attention on the system panel.

Since it was a promotion to the third-level wizard, not a job change, the Warhammer Wizard (Legend) career panel did not change much.

"The spirit has increased by 25 points, which is much more than when it was promoted to the second level before. Not bad."

Ryan glanced at the attribute panel and saw that the spirit attribute had reached: 123 (crystallization 1%).

"Finally entered the level of the third-level crystallized wizard. Now, I can be regarded as entering the threshold of legendary combat power with just witchcraft." Ryan couldn't help but feel relieved and said.

Next, he focused his attention on the effect of the third-level talent witchcraft "Steel Armor".

With a quick scan, Ryan found the new icon at the top layer on the Warhammer Wizard (Legend) career panel.

The pattern in the icon is a silver human figure. Unlike the knight shape of the whole body knight armor, the human figure's surface is completely metal protected without a wrinkle, just like the liquid robot Ryan saw in the movie Terminator in his previous life.

There is a line of small words below the icon:

[Level 3 Talented Witchcraft: Steel Armor]

Steel Armor (Level 3 Talented Witchcraft) Effect: Consume a small amount of mental power, mobilize special metal energy particles on the surface of the earth with a specific witchcraft model, and cover the host's body with a thick layer of steel armor.

"Special metal energy particles?"

"Thick steel armor?" Ryan immediately grasped the difference between the description of Steel Armor and Iron Armor.

However, it is naturally inconvenient to perform it now, because Claire and Beyonce have come behind him.

"Captain, are you okay?" Claire asked with a little worry.

"It's okay." Ryan waved his hand and said.

"Captain, do you want to put it on first?" Beyonce's pretty face blushed slightly, and handed Ryan a black cloak.

"Uh, thank you." Ryan looked down and saw a look of realization.

He immediately took Beyonce's cloak and put it on.

Although his Wuwen Tailor professional level has been improved quickly recently, the underwear he was wearing was a stretchable underwear, but the battle was too intense just now, and it had already turned into pieces.

So, basically only a pair of shorts was left.

When Dick and other guards came to Ryan, they were already confused by the potholes and the mess of the forest, as if hundreds of meteorites had fallen on the ground!

I yelled in my heart, is this damage that humans can cause?

Even for an adult from the imperial capital, this is too exaggerated.

"Lord Ren, although I have heard of your reputation for a long time, I found that the rumors still underestimated your combat power!" Dick bowed deeply to Ren, with a deep look in his eyes. worship.

"Sir Dick, thank you and your companions for their bravery." Renn smiled.

at the same time.

Cyrodiil Plateau, the seat of the Tutkash sect located deep underground.

Just when Ren was destroying the incarnation of the evil god Neyoubrekan, Graham suddenly felt a throbbing in his heart, which seemed to indicate that something bad had happened.

Immediately afterwards, his expression changed drastically.

Because as a fourth-level Dawn Wizard, he has been able to hear the whispers of God from afar intermittently:

".bastard kill him"

Although Spider God's words were intermittent and not very clear, the anger in his words was beyond words.

Graham soon realized that something was wrong with his incarnation of the spider god.

"How is this possible? It actually failed?"

"If Stavin's mission fails, it is still possible, but it was clear before that the incarnation of our Lord succeeded!"

The tall Graham paced back and forth in the underground hall, his four pairs of sharp jointed limbs making the ground squeak, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn't figure out why.

"Could it be said that the incarnation of our Lord was defeated after it came?"

"But even the guardians of the empire may not be able to defeat the incarnation of our Lord, right?"

"The strength of Stavin as a container and the incarnation of our Lord must have reached an epic level."

"To take a step back, even if there happens to be an Empire Guardian nearby and we are defeated, we can always be sure to retreat."

"But judging from my Lord's angry tone just now, the incarnation must have been completely wiped out."

"this"

Graham frowned!

Blade volcano, at the foot of the mountain.

After witnessing that Lord Ren, who was also a sword holder, had such strong combat power that he could kill the incarnation of the evil god who came, Dick and other sword holders from the Mosel Province and Yourong Yan, after some rest, , then headed to the Blade Volcano with great morale.

Soon, everyone arrived at the Sword Blade Crater, and a wave of scorching hot air hit them, mixed with the pungent smell of sulfur compounds.

Looking down from the mountain pass to the bottom of the volcano, we can see dark red magma that is slowly squirming like a cracked earth. However, so many people scanned it repeatedly and found no trace of the lava fire dragon.

"Huh? Last time before we reached the cave entrance, the lava fire dragon sensed our breath and rushed out immediately."

"What happened this time?"

Many guards began to whisper.

"Lord Ren, I think this lava fire dragon must have been frightened by you and hid in the lava lake, afraid to come out." Dick thought for a while and then made a guess that he thought was closest to the truth.

Creatures like the Lava Fire Dragon attach great importance to the concept of territory, but just now they almost walked up in a swagger, but the other party did not move at all.

This is obviously unreasonable.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Dick came to this rare but only reasonable conclusion - "A fire dragon was scared and hid!"

Tsk tsk, he is in his forties and has performed tasks in the Mosel Sword Bearer Branch at least a hundred times, and this is the first time he has seen such an outrageous thing.

After hearing Dick's words, everyone couldn't help but look at each other!

Although everyone felt that Dick's inference was a bit exaggerated, it seemed very reasonable.

Claire on the side was stunned when she heard Dick's words, her beautiful eyes fluttered a few times, and she said to herself that this was the first time she had heard of such an outrageous thing.

However, when she quickly glanced at her captain, she noticed that Ren's brows were slightly frowned, as if he was quite regretful about not being able to complete the Lava Fire Dragon mission.

After thinking about it, Claire said: "Captain, how about I use Eyes of Fire to check?"

"Eye of Flame? That's fine." Ren's eyes brightened slightly and he nodded immediately.

He had heard about the Eye of Flame, a first-level fire witchcraft, which seemed to be able to condense into a fist-sized eye composed of flame elements to check the enemy's situation.

As Claire chanted the spell, a few seconds later, a slightly different translucent fireball appeared in the mid-air in front of her, floating up and down.

With just a click of Claire's white finger, the eye of flame quickly fell towards the lava lake below.

A few minutes later, Claire wiped away the fine beads of sweat on her fair forehead, seemed to have stopped performing the surgery, and said with an apology:

"Captain, I'm sorry, I couldn't find it. The other party should be hidden deep in the magma lake."

Renn nodded and said, "It doesn't matter."

He could understand that even though the crater seemed small, the area below was quite empty.

The area of ​​the magma lake at the bottom of the Blade Volcano is no less than that of a real lake, especially the depth of the lava lake. It should be extremely amazing. In addition, there are likely to be curved underground tunnels at the bottom of the lava lake.

It is naturally extremely difficult to find a deliberately hidden lava fire dragon in such a lava lake.

Ren En had not considered asking Xue Yu to search for it.

But although his blood-feathered hippogryph is a ferocious species, it is not a big problem to pass through magma in a short time, but it is obviously not practical to search in the lava lake for a long time.

Secondly, this is too dangerous. If the blood feather is swallowed by the lava fire dragon, the loss will be great.

After thinking about it, Renn turned around and said, "Let's go, I'm afraid that after the other party recovers from his injury, he will move to another place."

"I just don't know if this counts as completing the mission." Ren said in a low voice.

After hearing this, the two women looked at each other for a while.

yes!

After all, the hidden danger of the lava fire dragon has been eliminated, but his captain did not use the method of killing it.

At this time, Beyoncé waved to Dick and said: "Your Excellency Dick, send someone to observe at the bottom of the mountain for a while. If the lava fire dragon Hermados leaves, you will report it to the headquarters."

"As you command, Miss Beyonce." Dick immediately understood what Beyonce meant and said with a look of surprise on his face.

For Renn, although he did not kill the lava dragon Hermados by the way, he did not feel depressed.

On the contrary, he was in a good mood on the way back.

Because this harvest far exceeded expectations, he successfully entered the third-level crystal wizard. This was something he had never expected before coming here. Originally, Renn thought it would take several months for him to be promoted.

As for the lava fire dragon, whether to kill it or not is really not his particular concern.

Half an hour after Ren and his party left, several fist-sized red firebirds suddenly emerged from the lava lake and flew into the sky. They looked around several times.

Immediately afterwards, a huge creature slowly and cautiously poked its head out of the lava lake in the Blade Volcano.

As if for the sake of caution, the lava fire dragon Hermados quietly flew to the crater and stopped. After watching Ren and his party leave from a distance, he let out a long breath:

"What a terrible human being, the incarnation of the arrival of gods, and he was actually defeated by him."

"It seems that we can no longer stay in this Blade Volcano."

"After the wound heals, I have to find a new habitat." Hermados's vertical pupils flickered.

A few hours later, on the way back to the airship.

Renn was thinking alone in the luxury cabin.

"Now I have completed two of the prerequisites for the Dragon Vein Wizard. Next, there is only the last one left, the dragon blood essence."

Renn had tried the blood essence of the ancestral dragon Corathius in the Howling Tundra before, but the system did not recognize it.

This is why Renn doesn't care much about the lava fire dragon Hermados.

Judging from the records in classics, fire dragons are not considered giant dragons, and the top sub-dragon species are only sub-dragon species.

If you think about it carefully, the prerequisite for job transfer clearly states 'a complete dragon blood essence'.

The key words are in the terms ‘complete’ and ‘dragon’.

"This is a bit troublesome, but in the next half month, the Dragon Knight reserve selection will be held."

"Perhaps, soon, I will be able to come into contact with a real dragon." Renn thought.

After all, if you can't even get in touch with the giant dragon, let alone get a complete copy of the dragon's blood essence.

"It just so happens that in the past few days, I can go to the school to earn some contribution points and exchange them for the third level of Iron Heart."

"The best thing is to exchange for the third-level metal witchcraft 'Steel Fist'. However, with 14,000 contribution points, there is a high probability that it will not be done in a short time."

"After all, opportunities like the Flame Canyon Secret Realm are not always available."

The next afternoon.

When Renn returned to the Sword Bearer's headquarters in the imperial capital of Tamriel, Olena immediately received a summons from the staff at the airship docking point.

"Lord Ren, the mission goes well." Soon, Olena, wearing black straight pants and a white patterned long-sleeved shirt, rushed over with a smile on her face.

However, as soon as she opened her mouth, she swallowed back the rest of her words.

Because when Olena looked around for a moment, she discovered that the heavy golem didn't seem to be back. At the same time, she didn't see any trophies related to the lava fire dragon.

Therefore, Olena, who has a high emotional intelligence, immediately kept silent.

Because this was the first time in her memory that she saw the young Lord Ren in front of her failing his mission.

When Olena glanced at Claire beside her with questioning eyes, Claire shook her head and said proactively:

"Your Excellency Olena, although we did not kill the lava fire dragon Hermados this time, I don't think we can say that this mission failed."

"Because the lava fire dragon Hermados has been hiding from the captain, hiding deep in the lava lake, and does not dare to show his face at all."

"Avoiding Lord Ren?" Olena blinked her beautiful eyes, obviously very confused.

Although she is a civilian employee, she has been working in the sword wielding department for more than ten years.

Olena naturally knew that all ferocious species had a strong sense of territory and would often risk their lives to maintain their territory, let alone fire dragons like Hermados.

"Yeah!" Claire nodded seriously and said.

"Your Excellency Olena, you are here at the right time. Perhaps you should contact Major General Tatiya immediately." When Ren saw Olena, he nodded with a smile and said.

"We encountered something halfway along the way. Although we didn't kill the lava fire dragon this time, we did encounter the incarnation of the evil god."

"What!" Olena's beautiful eyes widened immediately, she covered her mouth with her hand and exclaimed.

"Then the evil god incarnates now"

"The captain has eliminated that evil god." Beyoncé said at the right time.

"Lord Raylan, I will contact Major General Tatia immediately. Please wait." Olena left quickly in a pair of five or six centimeter high heels.

"By the way, Lord Raylan, there is an important matter here. Miss Anna had an emergency yesterday and said she had to return to Ferdinand Forest first. This is the letter Miss Anna left for you."

Olena suddenly remembered something, turned back again, and handed a letter to Ryan.

"Huh?"

"So urgent?"

"After all, I have only been away for two days, can Anna not wait?" Ryan couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Immediately, he opened the envelope and read it.

Olena left quickly again and went to report to Major General Tatia.

At this time, Claire seemed to notice something.

She looked up at Olena who was going away, and her eyes stayed on the curve of her slightly round hip skirt for a moment. She thought to herself that her captain, the part-time liaison young woman, was quite charming.

"By the way, Beyoncé, do you know? This is Captain Ryan's original full-time contact person in Munster." Claire pouted at Olena who was leaving, and whispered to her companion Beyoncé beside her.

Beyoncé glanced at Olena's slender figure going away, then looked at Claire, and immediately understood what her bestie meant, shook her head and said:

"Not really, with the captain's strength and status, he can find anyone."

"It's hard to say, many nobles have special fetishes." Claire immediately put her hands on her waist, raised her chest, and retorted.

"Beyoncé, think about it from another angle, you say, how difficult it is to transfer a civilian woman from the sword-bearing branch of the province below to the imperial capital headquarters! You should know this, right?"

"This." Claire's words made Beyoncé silent for a while.

Indeed, this difficulty is not ordinary high.

I'm afraid that even if the head of the Sword Bearer Division comes forward, it will be difficult to coordinate.

Moreover, if the captain only wants a contact person, there are at least dozens of young female secretaries in the headquarters, waiting for the captain to choose.

Why bother to transfer someone from the branch?

Could it be that the captain really doesn't like young women, but likes young women?

But if he can spend a lot of effort to transfer people from the lower branch, doesn't it mean that the captain is quite loyal!

At this time, Ryan, who was standing aside, naturally had no time to pay attention to the gossip of his two team members. He only saw him carefully looking at the content of the letter:

"Dear Ryan: Aunt Delanna was seriously injured by the believers of the Ancient Mother Tree Sect while performing a mission. I must go back immediately. After Auntie recovers, I will return to the imperial capital."

Seeing this, Ryan couldn't help but feel relieved.

"It turns out that Ms. Delanna was injured. No wonder."

"But. The Mother Tree Sect?"

Ryan immediately thought of the place where he and Priest Rudolf of the Goddess Church killed the flesh and blood tree spirit together. There seemed to be an ancient temple of the Mother Tree Sect.

"It seems that the situation is getting worse and worse. Even the Ferdinand Forest where the elves are located has been attacked by the cult."

"But, later, I can ask Olena to inquire about the information of the Mother Tree Sect. After the selection of the Dragon Knight Reserve, I may consider going to Ferdinand Forest." Ryan couldn't help but think secretly.

Only about seven or eight minutes later, Olena returned again, and there was a female major general beside her, who was Tatia.

"Sir Ryan, welcome back, General Augustus is waiting for you in the conference room." Tatia smiled slightly.

As she said that, she also nodded to Claire and the other two women.

"Okay! Then let's go now." Ryan nodded.

Sure enough, the Sword Bearer Headquarters paid special attention to the news of the gods.

Soon, the three of them were invited to a small meeting room with strict confidentiality and protection measures.

Ryan noticed that the corridors, floors and corners of the meeting room had patterns of witch arrays. Obviously, this should be similar to the secret room he had seen in the Marne Province before.

However, the witch array in the headquarters looked more complicated.

"Sir Ryan, this room has been blessed with multiple witch arrays to prevent eavesdropping and peeping, which can effectively block peeping. The real names of some gods can be mentioned appropriately."

Tatia introduced at the right time.

Ryan nodded to show that he understood.

At this time, General Augustus, whom Ryan had met twice before, was already sitting on one side of the meeting room, looking at him with a smile on his face.
