Chapter 387 Shock

"Quick! Speed ​​up!"

In the sky, two teams of 24 griffin knights rushed towards the southeast corner of Tavlin Town.

There were more operators on the ground. When they approached the town quickly, they quickly divided into two teams, like a big clamp, surrounding the nearby battle area.

From the perspective of execution, the team in front of them was undoubtedly elite.

The first to find that the situation was a bit unexpected were the griffin knights in the air with good vision.

They saw from a distance that the designated location in front was in a mess, with various large and small pits and various huge stones scattered. More than a dozen houses on the edge of the town were left with only ruins.

On the ground, the originally dense shrubs and grass and other surface vegetation were destroyed at this moment.

Looking down from the air, it seemed as if a piece of sand suddenly appeared on a large piece of green land, or as if there was a patch of baldness in the originally dense hair.

A short battle changed the surface environment, from green bushes and grass to a desert-like surface.

It is conceivable how fierce the battle was in that short minute!

"The other party seems to have run away!" A griffin knight glanced and whispered, because he did not see any figure wearing a court enforcement officer uniform.

"No, there seems to be someone there!" Another person pointed to a deep pit on the ground.

The burly man in charge of commanding the griffin knights squinted his eyes and looked over. He nodded and said, "Go, team one will land with me, and team two will check around and be responsible for vigilance."

"Yes, Lord Edwards!"

Immediately, the burly man controlled the griffin under his crotch and began to land with a team of griffin knights.

At this moment, Ryan had naturally changed back to human form. He was holding a bulging waist bag in his hand and checking it, and his eyes were full of joy.

Before coming, he never thought that he would encounter such a good thing again.

There was a pure green, thumb-sized crystal in the waist bag, with a black line in it.

Judging from the aura, Ryan had a familiar feeling, as if he had encountered it somewhere.

After a little thought, Ryan's face suddenly became clear.

He remembered that this aura was very similar to the aura of the pale golden sapling he obtained after killing the flesh and blood tree spirit.

"Could it be that this is the crystal of divine power from a certain god worshipped by the ancient mother tree sect?"

"But how could Harold have this?"

Immediately, Ryan thought of the other party's rumor, and guessed whether Harold had obtained it by picking up a bargain in the imperial capital war.

In fact, Ryan's guess was very close to the truth.

Harold wanted to keep this divine power crystal and absorb it after he entered the fourth-level dawn wizard.

Because normally, if one's own strength has not reached the epic level, it is impossible to resist the trace of mark left by the god in the divine power crystal during the absorption process.

If you force the absorption, you will only be affected by the breath of the gods. If you try your best to resist, you may become an idiot. If you are weak-willed, you will most likely be transformed into a follower. There is only a very low possibility that you will be safe.

And because Ryan has the system to help get rid of the trace of the god's imprint, he will appear in the second-level liquefaction stage and can absorb the divine power crystal.

Absorbing the divine power crystal at this stage is naturally very effective.

Considering that the support mentioned by the female major general Tatia may arrive soon, Ryan reached out and held the green crystal. He decided to absorb this divine power crystal before people came.

At this time, the system prompt also sounded:

[Ding! Detected divine power crystals that can improve the degree of spiritual power liquefaction, yes/no to accelerate absorption? (Note: System absorption can eliminate impurities and can be absorbed all at once.)]

Ryan immediately chose "Yes!"

Because system absorption has the effect of purifying and discarding impurities, Ryan is not worried about any side effects at all.

Instantly, the green crystal disappeared in Ryan's hand, and a wisp of green smoke mixed with black silk also emerged from his palm.

At the same time, Ryan seemed to hear some extremely distant screaming sound, which was very penetrating.

But with the experience of absorbing the crystal of the power of Hela, the goddess of the underworld, Ryan was not too surprised.

Just like last time, in a very short time, Ryan felt that the light silver mist in the spiritual sea began to decrease rapidly, while the silver liquid increased rapidly.

When the transformation was over, the light silver mist in the spiritual sea became less and less, while the silver liquid surpassed and occupied the majority.

Ryan glanced at the system panel:

Spirit: 88 (liquefied 72%)

"It was 43% before, and now it is 72%? An increase of 29%!" Ryan knew that it would increase a lot, but he was still surprised by the super effect of the crystal of divine power.

During this period, because of the second level of the advanced meditation method of the Heart of Steel, it increased by 1%, from 42% to 43%.

Unexpectedly, today, he actually entered the late stage of the second-level liquefied wizard.

This level of improvement is unparalleled!

Even for a genius wizard with extraordinary talent, it takes years to slowly endure the second-level liquefied stage, and ordinary second-level wizards take ten years.

But Ryan is improving almost weekly.

After more than a month, the liquefaction process has passed two-thirds!

If we calculate that the power of witchcraft increases by one point for every point of liquefaction, the power of witchcraft he currently casts is nearly 30% higher than before.

When Tatia arrived at the scene, she saw Ryan standing in the distance, and her heart was relieved immediately, but immediately, a doubt came to her mind.

Since Lord Ryan is fine, what about the "sculptor" Harold and others?

Did they retreat in advance for some reason?

It should be.

The other party should have received news of their actions, so Harold and others did not linger in the battle. When they saw that they could not take Lord Ryan in a short time, they quickly retreated.

This should be the most likely situation.

"Lord Ryan, it's great to see that you are okay!" Tatia stepped forward quickly and said with a happy face.

She looked at Ryan quickly, as if to check if he was injured, while looking around to assess the intensity of the battle.

There is no doubt that judging from the degree of damage to the surrounding environment, the battle in just one minute was extremely fierce.

This can also be confirmed by the strong witchcraft fluctuations that Tatia felt dozens of miles away.

"Hello, Major General Tatia." Ryan nodded.

"Tsk tsk, Sir Ryan, your fighting power is really beyond our expectations. You are not obviously injured when Harold is at full strength." Tatia couldn't help but praise.

But as soon as the voice fell, Claire and Beyonce behind Ryan turned their heads and looked at Tatia with a rather strange look.

The eyes of the two made Tatia obviously stunned!

What does this mean?

Is it because I came too late, so do the two have complaints?

Or did I say something wrong?

"By the way, Lord Ryan, which direction did Harold and the others run to?" Tatia asked quickly with a serious face.

If the other party didn't run far, they could chase them a little longer. Even if Lord Duan was not convenient to take action directly, they should be able to capture the other party except Harold.

Before Ryan answered, Claire couldn't help it.

She stretched out her white finger, pointed at the headless corpse on the ground, and said, "Here, this is it!"

"Hmm?" Tatia's pretty face was confused, perfectly explaining what a question mark face is.

"Miss Claire, what did you just say?" Tatia couldn't help asking again.

"This corpse on the ground is Harold the Sculptor." Claire pointed to the ground again and repeated.

"What!" Tatia couldn't help but lost her voice.

Suddenly, she instinctively wanted to question!

How is this possible?

But she seemed to have thought of something, and immediately turned to look at Ryan on the side. Seeing Ryan nodded, Tatia immediately swallowed all her doubts.

Because she knew that Ryan could not joke with her about this matter.

Since he was not joking, the answer was very clear.

She stepped forward, not caring about the blood, and directly checked it with her own hands.

The elite fighters on the side also looked over.

Several leaders also immediately stepped forward, squatted beside Major General Tatia, and helped to check.

"By the way, Harold's head is still inside?" Seeing that several people seemed to be identifying the identity of the body, Beyonce thought for a while and said.

"Inside?" Major General Tatia suddenly found that she hated these two members of Mr. Ryan.

What can people say? It's hard to understand at once.

Can't you talk properly?

What does it mean that the head is still inside?

But soon, Tatia understood what it meant to have a head inside the body.

One of the fighters seemed to understand Beyoncé's implication, and pulled out a head from the abdominal cavity of the corpse.

This.

Damn, the brain was hit into the chest cavity!

Tatia was a little dumbfounded!

How did Lord Ryan beat Harold, the legendary "sculptor", into this state?

Not only Tatia, but also Edwards, the captain of the Griffin Knights who landed, and the elite fighters next to him were shocked and couldn't figure it out at all!

"What about the executors of the noble court?" Tatia had a bad premonition for a moment and asked again.

It seemed that the development of the whole thing was completely beyond her expectations.

"Well, there should be one or two in basically every pit, right?" Claire thought about it and said uncertainly.

After all, in the dusty situation, she didn't see everything clearly at the time. She just saw a few unlucky guys in uniforms who were slapped into the ground by their captain's claws.

At this moment, Ryan suddenly felt something, and he quickly turned around and looked behind him.

An old man with white hair and beard, wearing an ordinary gray wizard robe, was walking towards him with a smile.

Seeing the old man coming, the female major general Tatia quickly stood up, came to Ryan's side, and solemnly introduced: "Sir Ryan, I forgot to introduce you, this is the empire guardian 'Amber Seal' Duan."

"Duan has an important matter to go to Savoy Province, and happened to pass by here and met us." Looking around, Tatia added.

Tatia's slightly redundant words almost made Ryan laugh.

"Hello, Lord Duan." Ryan bowed slightly.     He quickly looked at the other party. The other party's aura was as majestic and deep as the ocean. Judging from the title 'Amber Seal', the other party should be a rare fourth-level dawn wizard.

It turned out that the backup arranged by our side was this person.

Indeed, facing Harold, the 'sculptor' who is known as the strongest legend, if you want to absolutely suppress the other party, then only an epic-level strongman can do it.

In fact, if Ryan's strength had not reached the epic level after his transformation, he would not have been able to kill this sculptor.

"You are Ryan, young man, your strength is unexpected." Duan looked at Ryan with a slightly surprised look, and then looked at Harold's body lying on the ground, and smiled.

"Ryan, if I'm not mistaken, you should be a rare metal wizard, right?" Duan asked again.

"Yes, Lord Duan." Ryan nodded.

"Are you interested in coming to the Tatus School?" Duan said with interest.

"Sir Ryan, Lord Duan, the 'Amber Seal', is the leader of the large wizard school Tatus School." The female major general Tatia beside him introduced softly.

From Tatia's attitude, Ryan could easily judge that Lord Duan in front of him should be among the epic strongmen, and he might be very strong.

In addition, the other party's recruitment or olive branch should be very rare.

However, Ryan has his own considerations.

He has a system, no matter which school he joins, in the end, he believes that the school will be proud of him, even if the other party is a large school, he has this confidence.

What's more, after the transformation, he has become an epic-level fighter.

In addition, his mentor Mogaro at the Bixiu Construction School has always treated him well, although Mogaro's strength is far different from Duan in front of him.

But when Ryan looks for a mentor, strength ranks second and kindness ranks first.

"Sir Duan, thank you for your favor, but I am already a student of the Bixiu Construction School." But the other party is kind after all, so Ryan bowed and thanked him.

"That's a pity. Bixiu Construction School? It's quite suitable for you. The metal system there is unique and good at making large combat puppets." Duan nodded with a trace of regret.

"Yes, Sir Duan, your erudition is admirable."

Suddenly, a complex pattern on the right chest of Duan's wizard robe flickered faintly, and then Duan seemed to be listening to something. He turned his head and said to Ryan:

"Young man, I have to go."

"But I think we will meet again soon."

"Sir Duan, it's my honor to meet you." Ryan bowed and said goodbye.

Duan nodded with a smile. At this time, he seemed to think of something and said to Tatia beside him: "By the way, Tatia, you may have some troubles next. Harold's death is not a small matter."

"Oh!" Tatia's face changed and she exclaimed.

"Not good, I have to report the situation here immediately." After saying that, Tatia hurried to the side.

Before leaving, he said to Ryan:

"Although we have prepared multiple plans before, we didn't expect the current situation to happen. Harold and the others were actually wiped out by you, Mr. Ryan."

Ryan nodded, with a hint of realization on his face.

From what he has learned so far, he can roughly guess the original plan of his side.

It should be that after he has resisted the opponent's attack with great difficulty, his team headed by Lord Duan will quickly arrive at the scene and control these people as bargaining chips to negotiate with the conservatives.

Although Ryan does not know the specific content of the negotiation, the plan should be roughly like this.

However, now he killed all the opponents, which was completely beyond the organization's expectations.

After a while, the female major general Tatia, who was happy and tired, hurried over again and said, "Sir Ryan, this time... Alas, we need to unify our caliber."

Harold is known as the strongest legend. Not only is his reputation well-known in the imperial capital Tamriel, but he is also highly valued by the upper class. After all, he is an epic reserve and is very likely to become the guardian of the empire.

Such an important person died. If he is not handled carefully, the follow-up situation will be quite troublesome.

And Sir Ryan, who killed the opponent, is the object that his side has to protect.

So, Tatia is in pain and happiness at this time, and she is relieved and troubled!

"Okay." Ryan nodded.

"By the way, there are also the two behind you." Tatia pointed to Claire and Beyonce behind Ryan and said.

A few minutes later.

"Sir Ryan, why don't you accept Lord Duan's invitation?" After finishing her work, Tatia couldn't help asking.

"I am already a member of the Bixiu Construction School."

"But don't you know? After paying a certain price, the contract can be terminated. An important difference between a medium-sized school and a large school is the integrity of the inheritance."

"With your strength, I think you will definitely impact a higher level in the future. If it is because of the inheritance..."

Tatia didn't continue, but Ryan naturally understood what she meant.

Inheritance integrity?

Ryan looked thoughtful.

It seems that after returning to Tamriel, he has to ask his mentor Mogaro about the relevant situation.

At the same time.

On the side of the road from the town of Tavlin to the imperial capital Tamriel, several capable personnel are lurking, but at this time, they all look anxious.

"Why haven't you heard any news yet? Could there be any accidents?"

Since the strong witchcraft fluctuations ended a few minutes ago, the sandstorm has gradually calmed down.

In theory, the personnel on our side should evacuate quickly and pass through this place.

But so far, no one has been seen.

"It shouldn't be, after all, the strongest legendary Lord Harold is dispatched this time." Another companion also looked puzzled, but after thinking for a while, he rejected the speculation of accidents.

After all, in his opinion, the possibility of Harold having an accident is almost zero.

Several people are conservative nobles, observation and communication personnel arranged nearby, and there are several such observation teams in other places nearby.

"Look! That's the Griffin Knight!" One of them exclaimed after watching for a while with a copper telescope.

You know, they didn't arrange any Griffin Knights, not to mention there were two teams of Griffin Knights in front of them.

Soon, they contacted other teams, and after some investigation, they immediately figured out the situation. After being shocked, several people quickly reported the situation.

Because the town of Tavlin is not far from the imperial capital Tamriel.

So, just a few hours later, many bigwigs who were paying attention to this matter got the news.

Sword Bearer Headquarters.

In the bright and clean office of Marshal Alfred.

After General Augustus read the message from Tatia twice, he was overjoyed at first, but then frowned.

He stood up and sighed, "Marshal, this Ryan is really amazing!"

"How did he kill Harold, the 'sculptor'?"

Augustus couldn't figure out how Ryan killed Harold. You know, this strongest legend took a blow from the divine saint and survived.

"This is not the focus of our attention now. As long as the opponent is not possessed by the evil god, the stronger Ryan is, the better it is for us and the empire." An old man with silver hair and beard said in a deep voice.

"In addition, this matter will be very troublesome to deal with."

"Augustus, don't forget that Harold has been famous for many years. Behind him, in addition to the conservative nobles, he is also a member of the large wizard school Isoder School, and one of the most likely to become the guardian of the empire."

"I'm afraid the royal family will personally inquire about this matter. Let's think about how to deal with this matter first."

In the inner ring of the imperial capital, in the reception room of the Duke of Drum's mansion.

A circle of conservative noble representatives of the empire were sitting around comfortably, drinking tea and chatting.

At this time, the butler Owen was seen running in the corridor with a pale face. Seeing this scene, the two servants who were guarding the door immediately opened the door of the reception room.

With Owen's report, the whole reception room was boiling!

"Oh my God! 'Engraver' Harold died just like that?!" A marquis exclaimed.

"This is the strongest legend! He died just like that!"

"Then how strong is this Ryan?"

"It shouldn't be."

"Do you think it is possible that this Ryan was possessed by a certain god?"

"Otherwise, how could he be so strong at such a young age?"

"Yes, I suggest contacting the Inquisition of the Goddess Church immediately and let them examine this Ryan." Duke Drum nodded in agreement after being shocked.

"I agree!"

"I agree too!"

"In addition, we must immediately inform the Isolde School of this situation."

"By the way, what do you think we should do next?"
