Chapter 310 Advanced Meditation Method (Two Chapters in One)

"Ryan, do you know what happened in the imperial capital?" Mogaro said anxiously the first time he saw Ryan.

"Well, Admiral Edward just held a meeting with us. His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire was seriously injured. The situation is not good now."

"More than not good, the exchanges between the Empire and the school have been suspended, and all active personnel have returned to work. I'm afraid that your study at the school will have to be put on hold for the time being."

Ryan nodded after hearing Mogaro's words.

When Admiral Edward held an emergency meeting just now, he already had this psychological expectation. His emotions were not too volatile. Of course, there was a little disappointment.

"Besides, I will return to Tamriel to repair the super giant war golem 'Magic Steel Giant'. I'm afraid I can't take care of you in a short time." Mogaro looked at Ryan with regret.

For such a talented disciple, he originally wanted to teach him well.

"Don't worry, Master Mogaro, let's talk about it after the situation settles down." Ryan said comfortingly.

"No, I'm anxious if you're not! You're my disciple, I'm determined!" Mogaro's tone immediately became high-pitched.

He was seen saying something excitedly while taking out a parchment scroll emitting a strong witchcraft aura from his arms and handed it to Ryan.

"Here! This is the contract to join the Bixiu Construction School. Take a look and sign it if there is no problem. I have already told the dean about you."

"After signing, you will be a formal member of the school, then you will be my disciple, and no one can take you away."

"Huh? Contract?" Ryan took it with a little surprise. He didn't expect that Mogaro was more anxious than him.

It seems that the wizard qualifications he has shown so far really make Mogaro very concerned.

However,

He had a good impression of Mogaro after his initial contact.

Mogaro has a straightforward personality, or it can be said that 'his emotions are expressed on his face'.

Ryan can feel that Mogaro may have a high level of attainment in puppetry, but his own strength is very average, only at the peak level of a first-level wizard.

This point can be seen by comparing it horizontally with Minor, the Duke's advisor who is a second-level liquefied wizard that Ryan knows. The aura is weaker than that of Minor.

Although the opponent's strength is not very strong, Ryan is more of a guide on the road of wizards.

As for strength, it is naturally better to be stronger, but if the strength is average, it doesn't matter much.

After all, with the system in hand, even if he is stronger than Ryan now, Ryan will most likely surpass him quickly in the near future.

Of course, Ryan still has to look carefully at things like signing contracts.

After he took it, he opened the parchment contract that exuded witchcraft fluctuations and read it one by one.

After a few minutes, Ryan did not find any problems. The terms of the contract were mostly "not to do things that harm the interests of the school", "not to spread the secret knowledge in the school", and so on.

After reading it carefully again, Ryan no longer hesitated and immediately picked up the feather pen and signed his name.

At this time, the parchment contract suddenly emitted a burst of white light, and then quickly weathered and dissipated. At the same time, a complex witchcraft symbol appeared in the air, flashed a few times, and then disappeared.

"Well, very good!" Mogaro, who had been waiting anxiously on the side, took the parchment and carefully looked at the signature "Ryan Kalan" on it, and couldn't help but be overjoyed.

In fact, Mogaro was more concerned about Ryan joining the school than Ryan himself.

After that day, he immediately contacted the school.

And this morning, after receiving the news from the imperial capital, he was very anxious. After taking the contract and several other things, he hurried over.

"In this case, I have a few things here, and I can give them to you first." Mogaro said, while taking out a transparent prismatic crystal from his arms.

The crystal has eight faces, which are two regular tetrahedrons superimposed on each other, about two fingers wide and one finger long.

"This is a memory crystal, which contains the first level of the school's most important advanced meditation method, 'Heart of Steel'."

"Although it is only the first level of the advanced meditation method, it is also a secret of the major wizard schools. Generally speaking, newcomers who have just joined the school need to undergo an observation period of more than one year, plus background checks and assessments."

"But you are different. With your qualifications and identity, these things seem a bit redundant to me."

"In addition to allowing formal wizards to further improve and condense their mental power, the Heart of Steel Advanced Meditation Method also has the additional ability to enhance the control of metals, which is the most suitable for you."

"But it is quite difficult to get started, so you can just read it slowly."

At this point, Mogaro took out another slightly thicker book from his arms and handed it to Ryan.

"The principle of puppetry is relatively easy to learn, and it is easy to learn but difficult to master. You should focus on learning the principle of making metal puppets. This is very compatible with your affinity for metal, and you can better exert the combat effectiveness of metal puppets."

"As for the others, such as clay puppets, rock puppets, and flesh puppets, you don't need to master them, just a little understanding is enough."

"In addition, this is the method of making an entry-level combat puppet - the iron combat puppet." Mogaro took out another ancient sheepskin scroll and handed it to Ryan.

"Of course, you don't need to make this, the main purpose is to enable you to better understand and master the principle of puppetry."

"Put these three things away."

"I estimate that the current turbulent situation will calm down after His Majesty the Emperor recovers in two or three months. During this period, you should be able to learn enough of these things."

"In the past few months, I hope you can study it carefully. If you come to the school again, you will get started faster." Mogaro warned.

Seeing these three things, Ren was stunned at first, and then naturally felt extremely happy.

He didn't expect that the benefits of signing the contract would come to his door so quickly.

Especially the ‘Heart of Steel Advanced Meditation Method’!

Renn had already checked this thing in the exchange hall.

No!

Maybe there might be one at the Sword Bearer headquarters, but there really isn't one at the branch.

Moreover, even if there is one at the headquarters, there may be very high exchange conditions, or it may require a mission evaluation medal with a diamond star rating or above, etc.

He also asked Olena about this, and as far as the other party knew, it seemed that only by going to the Sword Bearer Headquarters could he have a chance to be taught.

Unexpectedly, he could obtain it so easily now, even though it was only the first level.

It seems that his super-level affinity with metal elements may be rarer than he expected.

"By the way, mentor, how do you use this memory crystal?" Renn couldn't help but ask after looking at the transparent crystal in his hand that exuded a faint white light.

Ren also changed his title and called Mogaro his mentor, which immediately made Mogaro stroke his red beard and smile.

After hearing Ren's question, Mogaro couldn't help but patted his head and said:

"Hey, I almost forgot such an important thing."

"If you focus on the memory crystal, you can see nine light spots arranged in a square, three in a row, for a total of three rows. Draw a 'Z' on the square and activate these light spots. The contents of the memory crystal can be read."

"By the way, the memory crystal needs to be kept carefully. After you have memorized all the contents, just squeeze it hard and the memory crystal will shatter to prevent it from being accidentally leaked." Mogaro warned with a solemn expression.

"Okay, mentor." Renn nodded.

This is convenient, but I'm afraid it's not easy to make. In addition, there should be some restrictions.

Otherwise, so many ancient books would not be preserved in the form of books.

"Okay, Ren, I have to go. The airship to the Empire will leave in two hours. I still have some things to pack." Mogaro stood up and said.

"Okay, mentor, I'll see you off." Renn smiled.

Renn, who returned to the room again, looked at the three things in his hands and couldn't help but look happy.

"I thought the school trip would probably be a no-brainer."

"I didn't expect that there would be another village with a bright future!"

After placing the three things in a row on the desk, Renn was first attracted to the memory crystal.

"Heart of Steel Advanced Meditation"

He picked up the shimmering memory crystal, and immediately focused his mental power on it. According to what Mogaro said before, he quickly opened the memory crystal smoothly.

Suddenly, an extremely complex three-dimensional pattern appeared in Renn's mind.

Is this the first level of the advanced meditation method Iron Heart?

Ren looked carefully.

In fact, this is a three-dimensional figure, but its complexity is far greater than any will rune in his previous basic meditation method.

If the twenty-four will runes that were originally practiced were different building block units in the Lego toys in the previous life, then the three-dimensional pattern in front of me is a collection of building block units.

It's like a toy car or a toy house assembled from many building block units.

The difficulty is naturally different.

But the power cannot be compared.

The latter can not only enhance and condense mental power, but also achieve certain special effects, or in other words, give the practicing wizard some special ability.

Ren, who was slightly excited, immediately tried it.

After a while, even with Ren's current mental strength, he couldn't get started for a while.

"It seems that Instructor Mogaro is right. This Iron Heart advanced meditation method is really difficult to learn."

Although Rennes has a system, it still needs to be started first. Only when it is displayed on the system panel can it be improved later by adding points.

but

Ren calmed down for a moment and put the memory crystal aside.

He crossed his arms and paced back and forth in the room for a while before focusing on his system properties panel.

"Under the current situation, it is most important to first transfer to the epic profession 'King of Thousand Blades'."

"Then, consider spending your energy and time on the practice of the Iron Heart advanced meditation method."

"The goal must be clear!"

After thinking about it, Renn decided to change jobs first.

In addition, he still has a few talent points that he hasn't added yet.

In fact, if he wanted to use this talent point instead of saving it, he had no other choice.

Because whether it is 'Intermediate Giant Strength (Active)', 'Advanced Extraordinary Comprehension (Passive)' or 'Advanced Steel Body (Passive)', it cannot be improved with just a few talent points.

After thinking for a moment, Renn decided to use this talent point instead of keeping it.

Under the current situation, every time the strength increases, the ability to deal with crises becomes stronger.

As Ryan focused his attention on the talent ‘Primary Weapon Mastery (Passive)’, a system prompt soon appeared:

[Congratulations, your talent ‘Primary Weapon Mastery (Passive)’ has been upgraded to ‘Intermediate Weapon Mastery (Passive)’! ]

Ryan immediately checked the intermediate talent ‘Intermediate Weapon Mastery (Passive)’.

The text description is as follows:

[Weapon Master (Legendary) Exclusive Talent: Intermediate Weapon Mastery (Passive)]

Effect of Intermediate Weapon Mastery (Passive): Weapon Masters have a natural familiarity with various weapons, and any weapon they use has the ‘Expertise lv2’ effect.

(Note: ‘Hammer Expertise lv3’ remains unchanged because it exceeds this effect.)

After thinking about it, Ryan casually transformed the hardened adamantium into a javelin.

And when he held the javelin in his hand, he clearly felt the difference from before.

There was a sense of familiarity, and a feeling of being more in control.

From the text description, this is because his full weapon expertise has been upgraded from lv1 to lv2.

In addition, after the specialization is upgraded to lv2, there is another biggest benefit.

That is, with the blessing of the specialization lv2 of all weapon categories, the difficulty of his subsequent extraordinary combat skills to comprehend the secret will be further reduced.

"It is very likely that lv11 is enough."

"Counting that I still have 3 skill points, that is to say, after the extraordinary combat skills are upgraded to lv10, and then add a few points, I can basically comprehend the secret."

"If so, well, it may only take three to four days for me to master a new secret."

"That is to say, at the fastest, nine days, at the slowest, half a month, I can change my job to the epic class 'King of Thousand Blades'!" Ryan quickly calculated the approximate time required for his job change.

This made Ryan feel relieved, and his face couldn't help but show a little excitement.

"But, which weapon category should I choose for the next extraordinary combat skill?"

Ryan accidentally glanced at the trophy cabinet next to him.

He found that there were more than three daggers in it, but he had never practiced any dagger-related supernatural combat skills.

"Hey, could it be that I have a natural aversion to the profession of assassin?"

Ryan thought about it and couldn't help laughing.

"Then the next item is to choose daggers."

Ryan, who had made up his mind, quickly went out and walked towards the exchange hall.

In fact, at Ryan's current level, he already has relatively complete melee and long-range attack methods. It is not so important for him to learn any supernatural combat skills at this time.

Ryan plans to learn a dagger-related supernatural combat skill first.

Then, he will consider learning a long-handled weapon, such as a lance, which can be used in conjunction with riding the fast-trotting wildebeest "Xiao Hei".

As for the ninth secret.

Ryan hasn't thought about it yet.

Half an hour later, Ryan returned to his room again with a parchment scroll.

After sitting down at the desk, he opened the parchment and saw a few big words on it - 'Brack's Assassination Dance'. He couldn't help but smile and nodded.

This is the dagger-type supernatural combat skill that Ryan just exchanged.

As for why he chose this one?

The reason is very simple.

Because the price of exchanging this one is the highest, higher than other dagger-type supernatural combat skills!

I don't know if it's because Ryan has experience in using short weapons such as sharp knuckles. This time, he only spent a few minutes to get started with this 'Brack's Assassination Dance'.

So Ryan came to the training room next to him, instantly transformed into two daggers, and began to practice.

And the system prompts also sounded like a revolving lantern:

[You have trained in Brack's Assassination Dance, and the relevant understanding has improved! ]

[Your skill Brack's Assassination Dance has been improved, experience value +3]

Every six or seven seconds, the system will prompt an experience value plus three, which is in sharp contrast to the original experience value plus one.

After only ten minutes, Burak's assassination dance entered level 2.

This amazing speed made Ryan very happy!

"Is this the effect of the advanced talent 'Advanced Transcendental Enlightenment'? Awesome!"

Although Ryan knew that this would be the case when he calculated it before, he was still very happy at this moment.

About half an hour later, Burak's assassination dance entered level 3!

Less than an hour later, it entered level 4!

"This speed is unparalleled!"

"It's like a rocket-like improvement"

Ryan himself felt that it was a bit too exaggerated.

"Dong Dong Dong!"

At this time, there was a knock on the door. Ryan opened the door and saw that Neoro, Vieri and other team members had come.

"Captain!"

"Captain Ryan!"

"Come in."

Since Ryan moved to the Diamond Star Swordholder Suite, since it is equipped with a separate training room, it has also become a gathering place for Ryan's team.

Basically, everyone would gather here for whatever they wanted.

"Hey, Captain, are you practicing with a dagger?" Vieri was sharp-eyed and noticed immediately that the weapon Ryan was holding this time was different.

What made him even more curious was that this was the first time he saw Ryan using a dagger.

"Yes, Captain, I remember you were practicing javelin two days ago? Why is it dagger today?" Angus, who was standing by, was also puzzled.

After all, his shield was in trouble a few days ago, and was almost broken by Ryan's javelin.

"Well, it was a whim, so I found a dagger-like extraordinary combat skill and practiced it casually."

Hearing Vieri and Angus's questions, Ryan looked down at the dagger in his hand and made up a random excuse.

After all, you can't say that your talent has suddenly improved and you can understand the mystery in a few days!

But Ryan's words still made several people look at each other in bewilderment.

A whim?

Practice casually?

Among those present, perhaps only Neoro, as a scroll master, may not know how much sweat, time and effort it takes for an ordinary knight to learn an extraordinary combat skill.

Whether it was Angus, Vieri or Evelyn who was also studying the knight's path, they all understood the difficulty very well.

Several people silently said in their hearts, 'What a talent! '

"By the way, you guys came just in time, you can accompany me to try this new dagger fighting skill." Ryan said with a smile.

"Captain, did you just learn it today? If you lose, don't be embarrassed." Vieri was the first to volunteer and joked.

"You will know after trying it." Ryan couldn't help laughing.

A few minutes later, a competition ended.

Vieri looked at Ryan with a ghost expression and said, "Captain, are you really not lying to me? Did you just start learning daggers today?"

"Well, maybe as a short weapon, the dagger has many similarities with the sharp knuckles I master, so I learn faster." Ryan thought for a long time before finding such a vague explanation.

Evelyn's beautiful eyes flickered twice, and she couldn't help but complain in her heart, 'Are you fast? That's flying, okay! '

And Angus listened and nodded silently, stroking his chin, thinking, with an expression that he felt it made sense.

Because of the team members' rotation training, Ryan's new combat skill 'Borak's assassination dance' soared at a speed that ordinary people could hardly imagine!

...

Two days later in the morning.

The sun was rising.

A slim girl came to the shore of Zhishui Lake alone, looking dusty.

Several groups of men and women camping by the lake looked at the girl curiously, and seemed surprised that the girl was on the road alone.

You know, the situation in the empire has been turbulent recently, and some refugees, bandit groups and even vicious cultists have emerged in an endless stream. Most people rely on large caravans or mercenary groups to travel smoothly.

The girl washed her face with clean water, stood up, and looked up at the towering mountains in the distance and the huge city of Münster built on the mountains.

After staring blankly for a few seconds, the girl exclaimed in a low voice: "So this is Munster. It's so magnificent!"

The girl was Anna, who rushed all the way to Munster from the county city of Meister.

She asked the servants who stayed at the Meister Rain's mansion for specific information about Rain, and learned that after he was awarded the title of baron, he joined the Imperial Sword Bearer Organization. At the same time, not long ago, his family also moved to Munster.

So, Anna rushed all the way to Munster again.

The journey was not completely safe and smooth, but Anna's transformation into a giant horned deer was very useful.

After transforming into a giant horned deer, not only did she have good combat power, but her speed for traveling was also no less than that of the fast-trotting wildebeest 'Xiao Hei'.

When encountering some bandit groups on the road, Anna did not stop at all, and took a detour with a detour.

If she really met someone who was blind and pursued her relentlessly, Anna would use a 'giant horn collision' to immediately break the opponent's tendons and bones.

At the same time.

Munster Sword Bearer Branch.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

There was a knock on the door outside Ryan's room.

"Hey, Lord Olena, it's so early."

"Good morning, Lord Ryan. Admiral Edward asked you to come over. The Duke of Munster just arrived at the branch. It seems that he wants to commend you for your outstanding contribution to the cult incident last time."

Olena said with a smile.
