Chapter 127 I'm Afraid It Was Just Switched! (Two Chapters in One)

At this time, Ren noticed that the giant bear swordsmanship had reached a level of lv5 (1988/2000).

It's just one step away from stepping into the door of lv6.

So, when Jenny got out of the carriage with a worried look on her face and ran over with her long skirt in both hands, what she saw was Ren, who was sweating profusely and with a face twisted in pain. Suddenly he stood up with a look of joy on his face. Be in high spirits.

Jenny was immediately dumbfounded!

"Sir Ren, are you okay?" Jenny couldn't recover for a long time and stammered.

"Hey! Miss Jenny, why did you come here?" Renn couldn't help but asked in surprise.

Could it be that the Crowley family is also related to this matter?

After the sneak attack just now, Renne was extremely vigilant.

"I am sending it to Lord Ren."

"Wait!" Renn made a hissing gesture.

Because at this time, he once again heard the exclamations coming from Goldsmith Town.

This time the sound was very noisy and far away, but with Ren's perception, he could still vaguely distinguish that it was the screams and exclamations of a group of people.

It seems that Andrews is not the only one coming to the Black Flame Church this time.

And looking at the opponent's purpose, it seems that it is not to simply kill him, but to have a larger goal.

The purpose of this operation of the Black Flame Church is probably by no means simple.

Renn glanced at Andrews' body next to him. The other party's body was used as evidence and he could not be allowed to be exposed in the wilderness. In addition, the loot had not yet been picked up.

After thinking about it, Ren turned to Jenny and said, "Miss Jenny, help me collect my loot."

"Huh? Trophy?" Janey was a little surprised for a moment and didn't react at all. It wasn't until Lane pointed at the corpse of the strange knight over there that Janey understood what Lane meant.

"I'm going to the town now to investigate the situation."

As he spoke, Ren planned to rush back to the town. However, as soon as he took two steps, Ren turned around and reminded:

"By the way, Miss Jenny, you'd better leave Goldshire as soon as possible."

At this time, Jenny was looking at the bloody corpse over there, her mind filled with confusion.

How to deal with this?

After hearing Ren's reminder, he reacted and said quickly:

"Okay, Sir Ren!"

At this time, two cavalrymen were rushing towards them from Goldsmith Town.

Renn's eyes suddenly narrowed, and he held the shimmering giant sword tightly with both hands and assumed a fighting posture.

"Wait a minute, Sir Ren, these two people seem to be my cavalry guards." Seeing Ren draw his sword, Jenny was immediately frightened.

"Oh?" Although Jenny said this, Ren was still vigilant this time.

After all, if you lose once and don't remember it, you will be doomed sooner or later.

After the two cavalry arrived, they quickly saluted Janey and said hurriedly: "Miss Janey, the church in Goldsmith Town has been attacked. Now the town's defense force is very weak. We recommend that you leave Goldsmith Town immediately."

"Church?" Ren's pupils narrowed slightly and he quickly thought of something.

Today is Sunday, and there are at least one or two hundred people in the church. Lord Ren,

Andrews Black Flame Church?

Could it be that the Black Flame Church is going to conduct a blood sacrifice in Goldshire?

Because when Ren was training as a child servant, he had heard about the cultist sacrifice incident in the small town of Monem.

After becoming the captain of the night watchman, Renn also specifically checked the relevant files. The real situation was even more tragic than the rumors. More than a hundred people died in the town of Monem at one time.

The official final result of the empire was to blame the seven or eight bandits, but Ren knew that it was an expedient measure by the county and city to calm the people's unrest as soon as possible and reduce the intensity of the situation.

Looking back now, this is most likely the work of the Black Flame Church!

"Well, I won't leave. This is Mr. Ren, the deputy security officer of Goldsmith Town. You two are here just in time to help you pack up the loot." After Jenny quickly judged the situation, she rejected the two Cavalry advice.

Jenny thought clearly.

Although it is dangerous for her to stay in Goldshire, it is also an excellent time to deepen her relationship with Ren.

"Trophy?" The two cavalrymen looked around and immediately saw the bloody thing, and were startled.

"This is a gangster with the strength of a senior knight. He has been killed by Lord Renn. We will follow Lord Renn and help pack away the loot." Jenny said.

Senior knight?

Is that bloody mass of flesh and blood a senior knight?

This made the two knights take a closer look and found that it was indeed a plate armor knight. They couldn't help but look at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.

Looking at it this way, it seems that there is really no need to retreat now.

"As you command, Miss Jenny." The two cavalrymen immediately jumped off their horses with confidence and began to pack up.

Ren glanced at Jenny, he really didn't expect that this noble lady would have such courage and have such confidence in him.

This made Renn nod his head to Jenny and said: "I'll leave first, you can just follow me slowly. If the situation is not right, leave immediately without hesitation."

"Okay, Sir Renn." Seeing Renn's eyes of approval, Jenny felt happy and nodded quickly.

Then, Ryan rushed towards the town of Shining Gold while taking a glance at the Knight (Super) panel.

After a little thought, he decided to add the skill points after the upgrade to the limit-breaking value.

The reason is simple. He is about to face a fierce battle, so he naturally needs to add points to the place where he can quickly form combat power.

The limit-breaking value is related to the two supernatural characteristics, "huge strength" and "iron skin". After adding points, these two supernatural characteristics should be able to enter level 2.

With the addition of points, the limit-breaking value increased from 25% to 35% in an instant.

Suddenly, it seemed as if he heard the sound of glass breaking, and it was like the sound of inserting a key and turning it. Ryan only felt that some kind of "shackles" deep in his body were opened in an instant with a "click".

This feeling is so strange!

It was as if Ryan had been dancing in shackles before, and this time, the shackles were directly untied.

Every cell in his body was cheering!

"No wonder 30% of the limit is a hurdle. It seems that after the breakthrough, a certain shackle in the body is opened."

"Now, I am considered to be a senior knight!" Ryan murmured.

Before Ryan could carefully sense this change, his two extraordinary characteristics also broke through to level 2.

[Extraordinary Characteristics: Giant Strength lv2 (Active)]

Effect of Giant Strength lv2: Greatly improved strength.

(Note: The degree of improvement of the host's strength by the extraordinary characteristic Giant Strength is positively correlated with the limit value. The higher the limit is broken, the higher the degree of strength improvement.)

(Note: To enter the next level, the limit value must be met above 60%.)

[Extraordinary Characteristics: Iron Skin lv2 (Passive)]

Effect of Iron Skin lv2: The body will automatically absorb free metal elements and greatly enhance the skin's defense.

(Note: The improvement of defense power by the extraordinary characteristic Iron Skin is positively correlated with the mental power and the breaking limit value. The higher the mental power and breaking limit value, the stronger the absorption ability and the higher the degree of improvement)

(Note: To enter the next level, the breaking limit value must be above 60% and the mental power must be above 18 points.)

(Note: Extraordinary characteristics cannot be directly added with skill points.)

As expected, both extraordinary characteristics have entered level 2, and the requirements for the next level are also given.

To reach the next level, the extraordinary characteristic "Giant Strength" needs to break the limit value of more than 60%, while the requirements of the extraordinary characteristic "Iron Skin" are more stringent, and the mental power needs to reach more than 18 points.

Suddenly, Ryan withdrew his eyes from the Knight (Extraordinary) panel and stared at the spire of the town church that was getting closer and closer, and his confidence doubled!

Ten minutes ago.

The church of the town of Shining Gold.

The Monsoon and Ocean Goddess Church also has classic flower windows and spire shapes, and the overall style is tall and thin.

In addition, at the top of the church, there is a small gilded statue of the goddess of monsoon and ocean.

Today is Sunday, so at this time, the church is full of small town residents who believe in the goddess of monsoon and ocean.

The daily hard work and occasional disasters have led to many more believers in this world than in Ryan's previous life, and at the same time, there are many more devout believers.

At this time, more than a hundred men and women in the town, young and old, led by the white-haired priest Thomason, are praying devoutly to the statue of the goddess holding a conch.

But at this moment, only a Black Flame monk is in the empty hall of the church, replacing Father Thomason, chanting some kind of spell loudly, surrounded by seven or eight fully armed, mercenary-dressed strong men, staring at the surroundings.

However, in addition to this, there seems to be a Black Flame monk wearing a black hood, with his head lowered, his hands in his sleeves, standing in a corner of the hall, without saying a word.

The people below were all black and silent, and they were the more than 100 residents of Shining Gold who were originally attending the service.

In front of them, the bodies of several rebels were lying on the spot, and the red blood dyed the solemn and sacred church red.

As the Black Flame Monk chanted the spell, the black bone staff in front of him, the crystal on the top began to emit a strange black hair-like object, which began to spread throughout the venue.

The residents of Shining Gold who came into contact with it soon fell to the ground and trembled all over!

This scene made everyone more frightened and trembling. It was not that they did not want to resist, but that they would die immediately if they resisted, and it was better to die later than early.

One of the trembling people in the crowd was Thick Eyebrows.

He never thought that today, Sunday, he had just finished the child servant training, and was urged by his mother to attend this week's church service to seek the blessing of the goddess, so that he could successfully pass the Habsburg Manor assessment and become a guard.

As a result, less than half an hour into the entire worship ceremony, a group of ferocious mercenary-looking guys rushed in, and the priest Thomason who presided over the worship immediately fell in a pool of blood.

Then, the door of the church hall was locked, and all the residents of the town could not escape.

At first, Nongmei thought he had encountered a robbery organized by some bandits, and thinking of his wealthy family, he was not too worried.

It was not until the black-robed man began to chant strange spells that Nongmei thought of the cultists' sacrifice incident, and his face turned pale in an instant!

Cults always want lives, not money!

The good thing about the "pseudo-second generation" is that at least they are well-informed and know what the other party does, or in other words, in the current situation, Nongmei can die clearly.

Unlike ordinary town residents, who may not know why they died until the moment before they died.

It's not that Thick Eyebrows didn't think about resisting. He always thought that with his swordsmanship, he could deal with ordinary bandits without any problems.

But when he saw the security guard uncle who taught him swordsmanship being knocked down in a pool of blood by a sword, Thick Eyebrows' confidence was shattered like glass.

He didn't dare to have the slightest thought of resisting. After all, if he resisted, he would die immediately, but if he stayed in the crowd like a quail, he could at least die later!

At this time, a figure suddenly appeared in Thick Eyebrows' mind.

A figure that was shorter and thinner than him.

In the swordsmanship competition during the child servant training, the opponent turned the impossible into possible and defeated him.

If he was there, would he dare to draw his sword against them?

Thick Eyebrows thought about it, then shook his head. It was probably that he didn't dare.

After all, the gap in strength was too big.

Although he had heard that the guy had become the town's night watchman, so what? He was still an ordinary person. In front of this group of bandits, only a formal knight would be enough.

Seeing the strange black air spreading, Thick Eyebrows' heart tightened immediately, and he could only hear him muttering in a voice that only he could hear:

"Mother! You betrayed your son, you know!"

"Goddess! May someone save me!"

"I sincerely apologize for all the mistakes I made before, and pray that the goddess can send someone to save me!"

"I'm still young, I really don't want to die!"

At this moment, Thick Eyebrows' eyes have never been so pious!

If Ryan was at the scene, he would find that in addition to Thick Eyebrows, there were many familiar servants here, even his good friend George.

This is because the Habsburg Manor will hold a servant assessment next week.

So, many servants came to the church with their families to worship devoutly, praying that the goddess would bless the assessment smoothly.

At this moment, they all looked at the scene in front of them with horror.

At the edge of the church hall, there was a familiar figure of Ryan, that is his mother Emma, ​​who was seen lowering her head, trembling, and looking terrified.

But at this moment, she miraculously did not pray to the goddess for blessing at the first time. Instead, her son Ryan, whose figure was getting taller and taller, first appeared in her mind.

"Such a big thing has happened. Ryan, as the captain of the night watch, should come here?"

"No, no! Ryan can't come!"

"The other side has many people and is too powerful. Ryan will definitely not be able to win even if he comes!"

"Goddess bless! Don't let Ryan come, let him be safe!" Mother Emma muttered silently in her heart.

At this time, a black flame monk in a black robe was blocking the gate of the outer square of the church. Four or five bodies in security uniforms were lying on the ground, and opposite him were the only twenty or so night watchmen and a small number of security guards in the town of Shining Gold.

The night watchmen drew their bows and arrows, aiming at the Black Flame Monk. The security guards also drew their swords and surrounded him, but they all looked nervous, and a few of them were pale and trembling.

This made the Black Flame Monk, who was playing with the black fireball in his hand, look like a man standing alone against ten thousand men.

The first few security guards who arrived had already been killed by the other party.

Among the remaining guards in the town of Shining Gold, the short man Matteo had the highest position.

As the captain of the night watch, he clenched his fists at this moment, his face was flushed, but he did not dare to order the arrows to be released.

Matteo never lacked the courage to fight, but facing the Black Flame Monk who even Sheriff Hamilton had suffered last time, he knew that as long as he shouted "release the arrows", all of his people might die here.

The black flames dancing in the opponent's hands made Matteo extremely afraid. For the Night Watchmen with ordinary combat power, it was almost impossible to solve it.

You said that Ryan had killed a Black Flame Monk before, so it was not that scary, right?

Yes, but that was a Black Flame Monk in a seriously injured state.

And the one in front of him was a Black Flame Monk in his prime.

It was completely different!

So, although the opponent had been surrounded, Matteo was almost certain that they could not do anything to the opponent even if they fought to the death.

Maybe before the team was wiped out, they could inflict one or two wounds on the opponent.

That's it!

Although Matteo had sent people to chase Lord Hamilton's team as soon as possible, it had been an hour since they set out. It was too late to go back and forth.

In addition, Matteo also sent people to the nearest Habsburg manor to ask for help from Knight Lloyd, but it was estimated that it would take some time for the reinforcements from the manor to arrive.

Therefore, even though Matteo did not have much confidence that Ryan could defeat him, the only person they could count on at this moment was Ryan, the new deputy sheriff who was still in the town of Shining Gold.

"You don't even have the courage to shoot arrows at me. As the security force of the empire, you are really bad." The Black Flame Monk said jokingly while playing with the Black Flame Fireball in his hand.

"Did you, a bunch of rubbish, besiege and kill Mort? It doesn't look like it!"

"Okay! If you stand still, maybe I can spare your lives."

"By the way, I remember, you are not waiting for that...what's his name? Ray. Ryan! Is that his name?"

"Hehe, you are not waiting for him, are you?"

"It's a pity that you can't wait."

This made Matteo and other night watchmen change color. For a moment, they felt that they were suddenly seen through by the other party!

From the other party's tone, it seemed that Ryan.

Suddenly, screams came one after another in the church.

This made many family members of the night watchmen in the church excited, and they turned to Matteo and said:

"Captain, fight!"

"Yes! Fight!!"

The desperate declaration of the group of ants on the opposite side made Otis want to laugh.

"Hahaha, fight? A group of ants, what can you fight with me!"

At this time, a young but sonorous voice suddenly sounded: "Has no one ever taught you to respect the brave who are ready to die?"

Suddenly, Otis couldn't laugh!

Because a person he didn't expect appeared in his sight, and also in the sight of a group of night watchmen.

"Ryan!"

"Mr. Deputy Sheriff!"

The moment Matteo saw Ryan appear, he suddenly had an urge to cry! The burden on his shoulders was relieved all of a sudden.

"Report to the deputy sheriff, the Black Flame monk has controlled the townspeople in the church!"

"Matteo, you've worked hard! Leave this to me!" Ryan looked at the Black Flame monk on the other side and said.

"You... you are the new knight Ryan?"

"How is that possible? You shouldn't be."

"What about Andrews? You can never be his opponent!" The Black Flame monk named Otis asked three questions at once.

However, Ryan naturally ignored the other party, but silently drew out the glimmering giant sword behind him.

Otis frowned and couldn't figure out this question.

"Could it be that Andrews fought with you, but let you escape?"

After thinking about it, Otis felt that this was the only explanation that made the most sense.

Moreover, judging from the way Ryan's armor was broken, it seemed that he was beaten badly by Andrews.

If this is inferred, Ryan should be a speed-type knight with extraordinary characteristics such as agility.

No wonder!

Otis instantly ruled out all possible situations and came to a conclusion that he thought was very reliable!

For a speed-type knight like Ryan, the best option is to fight hard in close combat.

If you use a long-range attack on the black flame fireball, if the opponent is too fast, it will only be useless.

Otis has rich combat experience and quickly thought of the best countermeasure to deal with Ryan.

Coincidentally, Otis's melee strength is also quite strong, and he is good at using a pair of daggers. In addition, although his strength is only that of a formal knight, his extraordinary characteristics are more agile.

After thinking about all this, Otis said confidently: "It's rare for you to slip away from Andrews, but you didn't seize this luck and dared to come here."

"This is really your sorrow!"

Ryan was stunned by the other party's words for a moment!

"Swoosh!"

Otis kicked his toes and rushed straight towards Ryan.

The opponent's control made Ryan stunned again!

Because what Ryan has been thinking about is how to avoid the black flame fireball in the opponent's hand, and then seek an opportunity to get close to the opponent and kill the opponent quickly.

But what does he see now?

This black flame monk did not throw even a black flame fireball at him, but rushed towards him quickly, wanting to fight him in close combat?

Is there any conspiracy here?

Never mind!

Close combat is his only advantage!

Since the opponent is so confident, he may also be a power player. For the sake of safety, he should directly use the big move!

It just so happens that Ryan has now broken through the limit value to 35%, which is considered to have entered the level of senior knights. The extraordinary characteristic "huge force" has reached the level of 60% increase.

Ryan plans to open another 25% of the "power burst" to make up for the 120% power increase, and first test the opponent's bottom.

Moreover, Ryan is sure that with this level of triple superposition, his duration and sequelae will be much weaker, and even if the time is short, there will be no sequelae at all.

This is the benefit of a high physique.

No wonder the great man once said that a good body is the capital of revolution!

As for why he didn't burst out with all his strength?

That's because he had to maintain a certain combat effectiveness for the subsequent church rescue.

Seeing the Black Flame monk rushing towards Ryan, Matteo stared at him intently and quickly said to the other night watchmen: "Wait a minute, you will come from..."

But he stopped talking before he finished!

Instead, he muttered to himself: "Ryan's strength has reached this level."

I saw that the Black Flame monk suddenly had a pair of daggers flashing with cold light in his hands, and in the blink of an eye, he attacked not far in front of Ryan.

When he attacked at high speed, the airflow brought up had already scraped the broken plate armor on Ryan's body!

At the moment when the opponent was in a good mood.

Everyone present only heard the sound of several bowstrings being plucked, and the source was Ryan in the center of the venue!

"Bang, bang, bang"

Ryan's body suddenly swelled, and his muscles bulged, especially his chest and neck, which were like a Zarahi cobra about to attack its prey, expanding almost twice as much!

"Hah!!!"

A roar sounded!

A shock wave of air that seemed to be real spread out from Ryan's mouth to all directions. The first to bear the brunt was Otis who was attacking head-on!

Otis's face was immediately horrified. He never thought that Ryan actually had such a large-scale sound wave attack trick.

This kind of attack cannot be dodged at all, and can only be resisted!

And Otis's reaction was also very fast. He shrank his neck and crossed his hands to protect in front of him instantly!

"Bang!"

The strong wind hit, and Otis only felt a sharp pain in his ears and his head was buzzing!

But he instinctively felt something was wrong. Just when he wanted to put down his arm to check the situation, he suddenly felt the sky darken, and then his left eye looked at his right eye!

No, to be precise, his left eye saw the right half of his body, and his right eye saw the left half of his body.

Before Otis came to his senses, what was going on!

His world was black!

Return to nothingness!

Everyone on the sidelines covered their ears with their hands, staring at Ryan who was still chopping down with a stunned expression.

And the Black Flame Monk who was split in half!

The night watchmen were dumbfounded, and all kinds of "weird ideas" popped up in their heads.

"Is this the Black Flame Monk they were so afraid of just now?"

"Is it the Black Flame Monk who seriously injured Sheriff Hamilton?"

"Is this... maybe he was just replaced!"

"Why does it feel like Ryan chopped a fake Black Flame Monk!"

It's not that Ryan was posing.

Rather, at this moment, his Giant Bear Swordsmanship has been upgraded to level 6.

So, in an instant, as the Giant Bear Swordsmanship successfully entered level 6 (124/3000), a series of memory fragments of Giant Bear Swordsmanship training began to be injected into Ryan's mind.

At the same time, the various skills contained in these memory fragments were quickly integrated into Ryan's muscle memory.

However, this time seems a little different.

But before Ryan had time to take it all in, he suddenly saw that the church door right in front of him was opened from the inside!
