The wizard starts by trimming the donkey's hooves

"Fel Imprisonment!"

Suddenly, a thick black mist came from Galina's fingertips and attacked Ryan!

This was Galina's ultimate evil magic to save her life.

Ryan kicked his feet and rushed forward on his horse. At the same time, the hardened fine gold covering the surface of the knight's gauntlet instantly turned into a shield to block.

However, the next second, the shield in Ryan's hand felt like it was hitting real mist.

This black mist was really in the form of black mist and did not explode, but as soon as the black mist came into contact with the shield, Ryan felt as if he was frozen in amber.

Even with his innate strength and superposition to break the limit, he could not move much faster than a snail.

Galina looked back to check the situation and finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Ryan being hit!

After thinking about it, she felt that it was still unsafe. After all, the "Fel Energy Imprisonment" could only last for about ten seconds. In order to ensure her escape, she planned to cast a group slow spell on Ryan and the horse and dog at the same time!

But before she could chant the spell, Galina's smoky eyes suddenly widened!

Because she saw a flash of light blue light on Ryan, and the effect of the "Fel Energy Imprisonment" she had just cast was instantly eliminated.

And without any obstacles, Ryan's movement speed suddenly increased!

This change of fast and slow made Galina, who was close at hand, have no time to dodge. She just instinctively raised her arm to resist.

With a bang!

The black membrane on Galina's body was hit into a depression almost the size of a basin. Only a few centimeters away, the hammer head of the skull war hammer could hit Galina's forehead!

But

In an instant!

Ryan abandoned the hammer and changed to a fist!

This time, the black membrane, which had consumed most of its energy by the advanced secret technique ‘Crushing Hammer’, could no longer withstand Ryan’s sharp knuckles punch!

“Pop!”

After breaking the black membrane, Ryan’s sharp knuckles continued to rush forward and hit Galina’s arm that she had managed to raise!

“Blocked?”

Looking at the sharp blade that had pierced her arm and was only one centimeter away from her forehead, Galina’s pupils shrank sharply.

But the next second, the sharp blade suddenly became longer!

“Puff!”

The four sharp blades formed by hardened fine gold suddenly became more than ten centimeters longer and pierced Galina’s smooth forehead!

And Galina’s eyes suddenly widened, and the whole person twitched violently and then stopped moving.

Ryan then retracted the sharp knuckles!

“Puff!”

The sound of a heavy object falling to the ground was heard!

Galina fell softly to the ground.

Just now, Ryan relied on the golden conch medal awarded by the Monsoon and Ocean Goddess Church, and used the magic spell "Exorcism" solidified in it to instantly release the imprisonment.

At such a close distance, Ryan finally made a final decision and ended the opponent!

Ryan took out the medal with the golden conch pattern from his arms, and the light blue light on it dimmed a lot.

"I remember Bishop Xien said at the time that this medal solidified a magic spell "Exorcism", but after using it, it needs to be recharged before it can be used again."

"It seems that after I arrive in Meister, I have to ask Bishop Xien to help recharge it once."

"If you fight against the cult, the medal of the Goddess Church is still very useful." Ryan thought to himself.

After thinking about it, Ryan looked down at the corpse on the ground.

"From the name of the other party's subordinates, it seems that the other party is a chief priest?"

"I am currently in Wales County, which means that the female chief priest in front of me is most likely the leader of the Black Flame Cult in Wales County?"

"If so, perhaps there is a wanted mission for the other party in the Munster Sword Bearer Branch."

Ryan looked thoughtful and soon thought of something.

He was seen holding Galina's neck, like holding a dead snake, jumping on the trotting wildebeest 'Little Black' and returning to the direction of the temporary camp.

Because of the trotting wildebeest 'Little Black', when Ryan came back with Galina's body, there were still many diehards of the Black Flame Cult who were still resisting.

"Huh?"

"This seems to be some secret skill of Arcadia swordsmanship?"

What made Ryan's eyes light up was that Claire was waving a two-handed sword, and from time to time she rotated 360 degrees at high speed. After a circular blade of light flashed, a large number of gray-robed cultists were killed.

Claire was rushing towards him, and it seemed that she was going to support him.

When Ryan saw Claire, Claire soon discovered that Ryan had returned.

Seeing that Ryan was safe, Claire was relieved.

In fact, Claire's mentality began to change subtly since Ryan came back to help and killed the 'bison' Bidars with one punch to save her.

Before that, whether Ryan killed the 'Ice Messenger' Grant or rushed into the formation and defeated the enemy's 'evil magic formation', it was a display of personal strength.

But the meaning of returning to help is very different. In addition to showing strength, the act of returning to help expresses a kind of care and trustworthiness, and at the same time, it will touch the heart of the protected person more.

This also made Claire, a genius knight girl, have such a deep impression of a person of the opposite sex for the first time.

However, at this time, Claire herself was not very clear.

When Ryan appeared in front of everyone, everyone on the battlefield gradually stopped.

Especially the knights, when they saw Ryan carrying the fleeing female cult leader in one hand and walking towards them, they all looked at Ryan with admiration.

This is the leader of the Black Flame Cult in Wales County!

She was solved by the young Lord Ryan.

The mentality of the cultists when they saw this scene was greatly different.

Seeing Galina, who was like a dead snake in Ryan's hand, the last glimmer of hope in the hearts of the diehard cultists disappeared in an instant.

This made the cultists who were still struggling to resist, scatter like birds and beasts in a minute!

"Quick, chase!" Viscount Selier commanded the knights to quickly chase these remnants.

Claire put away her sword, stepped forward, and asked with concern: "Ryan, how are you? Are you okay?"

"Miss Claire, I'm fine."

"This guy seems to be the chief priest of the Black Flame Cult in Wales County. Perhaps you can understand why he came to attack us from him." Ryan threw Galina's body at Claire's feet and said.

"Well, let me see!"

Soon, Claire found several things from Galina's body, including a crystal ball, the Black Flame chief priest token, several different types of Black Flame prayers, and a note.

Claire opened the note and handed it to Ryan after a while, saying: "Ryan, it's the same as we expected."

Ryan took it and nodded.

"Miss Claire, that makes sense. Why did the Black Flame High Priest of Wales County come to kill you? It turned out that he was asked by this man nicknamed 'Blood Burner', Laxul."

"You may not know that one of the Sword Bearer's missions I took on this time is to kill this Laxul."

"In addition, the other party is the planner and creator of the Shimmering Gold Town Massacre."

"Huh?"

"The Shimmering Gold Town Massacre was planned and created by this 'Blood Burner'?" Claire said with a little surprise.

In terms of intelligence, although Claire also has special channels from the family, the Sword Bearer is more comprehensive in comparison.

Ryan nodded and said, "Yes, the intelligence from the Sword Bearer branch should not be wrong."

"However, Ryan, being able to ask the High Priest of Wales County to take action seems to indicate that this guy nicknamed 'Blood Burner' may be stronger than this Galina. If you really want to kill him, you must be careful."

Claire reminded.

Ryan nodded.

As the two talked, they came to the vicinity of the temporary camp. However, when Ryan saw the huge remains of the giant axe golem guard, he suddenly thought of something.

He took out the golden emblem representing the gold-level sword bearer from his chest and rubbed the name on the back of the emblem with his thumb three times.

This is a special one-way communication method. Only the gold-level emblem has this function, which is used to call for non-combat assistance.

Simply put, after being triggered, a special signal will be sent out. Observers with corresponding receiving devices nearby can check the location of the signal, the name of the sword bearer and other information.

Of course, the most important thing is that once the signal is received, the local observer will immediately send someone to provide non-combat assistance.

Because Ryan thinks that this giant axe golem guard, including Galina, is likely to be registered in the Munster Sword Bearer Branch.

And the Black Flame Cult-related tasks he took this time are all in Mayster County, not Welsh County.

So, Ryan plans to have someone send these remains back to Munster.

About an hour later, a small team of elite rangers, escorting a middle-aged man in wizard robes, quickly came to the vicinity of the temporary camp.

This made the cavalrymen who had just been attacked immediately aim their bows and be alert.

"Don't be nervous. Excuse me, is Lord Ryan here?" The middle-aged wizard waved his hand and said.

Just an hour ago, the observer McKen Clinton of Welsh County received a communication signal, which showed a signal sent by a gold-level sword bearer named Ryan between the towns of Colma and Eze.

This means that a sword bearer called for non-combat assistance.

Observer McKen naturally did not dare to delay. After thinking about it, he came here in person.

As he approached the temporary camp, he was quite surprised to see the traces of destruction along the way, the gullies on the ground, and hundreds of corpses that were obviously cultists.

After receiving the communication, he knew that there was probably a battle here.

But he never expected that the scene would be so big!

From the perspective of obtaining intelligence, he may not know before the battle, but after the battle, he, as an observer in Wales County, still had no idea, which was a bit of a dereliction of duty.

Quickly understanding various important situations in the area and reporting them is one of the most important responsibilities of an observer.

But when McKen followed the traces of the battle and saw the huge wreckage of the giant axe golem guard, his eyes suddenly widened and he was shocked!

Isn't this the golem guard that the higher-ups wanted them to focus on!

Before, the higher-ups sent a message, meaning that he should focus on whether the Black Flame Cult in Wales County had made golem guards. For this reason, he sent people to search for a while, but nothing was found.

Unexpectedly, the other party was actually made under his nose, and one was killed!

He looked at the knights around him, including the noble girl, who were all top knights.

McKen shook his head slightly.

He knew that although these people were strong, they were not even great knights, so they would definitely not be able to defeat this big guy.

The answer was obvious. It must be the gold-level sword holder who dealt with this big guy.

He observed the golem guard again. There was no trace of energy left around the huge basin-sized hole in the middle of the body.

That means that this gold-level sword holder, Mr. Ryan, is most likely a great knight, but apart from witchcraft, he rarely sees such a powerful mystery.

I'm afraid that in terms of strength, Mr. Ryan should also be among the top in the strength ranking of the sword holder branch.

"I am Ryan, may I ask who you are?"

"Hello, Lord Ryan, I am Observer McKen from Wales County."

"This is Galina, the head priest of the Black Flame Cult in Wales County!"

"Lord Ryan, I really didn't expect that she would die in your hands."

Observer McKen's eyes widened, because he found that the female corpse in a black robe lying on the ground beside him was actually Galina, and he couldn't help but be completely shocked!

You know, Galina's illusion technique is very good, and her ability to save her life is extremely strong.

Even if you can defeat her, it is extremely difficult to kill her!

McKen thought about the wording and said:

"It's not that there weren't gold-level sword bearers who came to kill Galina before, but she escaped with the help of the illusion. Later, the situation in the empire was turbulent, and the matter was delayed. I didn't expect that she would die in your hands this time."

Ryan nodded and said, "Indeed, the opponent's illusion is still very tricky."

Observer McKen looked at Ryan's calm expression, and his expression was strange. He muttered in his heart, 'You don't look like a tricky expression at all, and there is no injury on your body. '

"By the way, Mr. McKen, I want to ask, do these two have related tasks in the Sword Bearer Branch?" Ryan pointed to Galina's body and the remains of the giant axe golem and asked.

"Hmm?" McKen looked puzzled and continued, "Didn't Mr. Ryan come here specifically to kill them to complete the task?"

"That's not true." Ryan was startled and shook his head.

"My goal or mission is to go to Meister, but these guys suddenly attacked us, so I took advantage of the situation to get rid of them."

This made the observer McKen look even weirder. The words he wanted to blurt out got stuck in his throat. After thinking about it, he swallowed them back and reorganized his words:

"Hey, Mr. Ryan, you are really amazing. You can complete two gold-level tasks by the way."

"Huh?"

"Two gold-level tasks?"

"Yes! Don't you know?"

"Killing Galina is a one-star gold task, investigating the golem guard is a two-star gold task, and you killed one, so it's probably three stars." McKen explained.

Ryan nodded. This was a pleasant surprise. He thought there would be related tasks, but he didn't expect the reward to be so high.

One star means a medal for the task of that level, and a one-star gold task represents the reward of a gold medal.

"By the way, Sir McKen, I need to trouble you with one thing. I need to send someone to deliver the bodies of Galina and the Golem Guard to the Munster Sword Bearer Branch."

"But I have other tasks to do here, so..."

"Of course, Sir Ryan, leave it to me!" Observer McKen said with a smile.

Soon after, Observer McKen arranged for someone to cover the Golem wreckage and Galina's body with tarpaulins and had someone escort them away.

The huge cart used by the Black Flame Cult played an important role in transporting the Golem wreckage.

Before leaving, McKen also took away the bodies of 'Bison' Bidars and another black-robed monk, because both of them had the Black Flame Guardian token.

According to McKen, these two people should also have related tasks. Although they are not gold-level, there is no need to waste them.

At this time, Ryan suddenly remembered that he had not checked the system prompts.

After calling up the system, he saw:

[You have experienced a battle, Weapon Master (Legend) experience +873]

[You have experienced a battle, Wizard (Legend) experience +321]

[You have experienced a battle.]

(Note: The above skill experience has enjoyed a 30% increase from the exclusive talent ‘Primary Extraordinary Enlightenment’.)

[Congratulations, you defeated a strong enemy and gained 3 gold skill points! ]

[Congratulations, you defeated a strong enemy and gained 2 gold skill points! ]

[Congratulations, your Wizard (Legend) career level has been upgraded! ]

[Congratulations, your Wizard (Legend) career level has been upgraded! ]

After this battle, Ryan found that the Wizard (Legend) experience value increased by 1471 in total.

Since the original Wizard (Legend) career level had reached lv3 and was about to be upgraded, it was upgraded twice again this time, reaching lv5 (383/2000).

This also allowed him to gain 2 attribute points and 2 skill points again. Now he has 8 attribute points and 2 skill points left.

At the same time, the experience of the Weapon Master (Legend) profession level has also increased significantly, reaching lv8 (5121/7000).

This battle can actually be divided into four parts.

But in terms of the strength of the opponents, the first two battles, namely the Black Flame Monk in the sorcery array and the ‘Bison’ Bidars, were still a little weak, so Ryan did not receive the reward of gold skill points.

The giant axe golem guard and Galina behind were still very strong, and naturally belonged to the category of strong enemies. After the battle, they provided him with 3 and 2 gold skill points respectively.

In other words, Ryan obtained a total of 5 gold skill points in this battle, plus the original 2 points, at this moment, his gold skill points reached 7 points.

——

Munster.

In the intelligence hall underground of the Sword Bearer Branch.

This is a hall with a height of tens of meters. There are nearly forty or fifty staff members coming and going on the floor of the hall, a busy scene.

In the center of the hall, there are dozens of ring-shaped and spirally rising towering bookshelves, but the bookshelves are densely packed with information and intelligence files instead of books.

Several staff members are riding on the lifting device with a hanging basket, going up and down.

There are two deep tunnels at the top of the hall, similar to ventilation holes, except that people go in and out, but birds, bats and other flying animals.

These birds and animals carry intelligence of different levels, which falls into the hands of staff members and is quickly decoded, filed, reported or transferred.

The entire hall is in operation around the clock, so even at night, it is brightly lit and busy.

"Sir Colin, here is an urgent intelligence from the Earthshaker, a special department of the Imperial Army." A female staff member came over quickly and reported in a hurry.

"Read." Colin, a bald middle-aged man with a little belly, is one of the four deputy ministers of the intelligence hall and the person in charge of the intelligence hall tonight.

Since the intelligence hall operates 24 hours a day, four deputy ministers of affairs are specially set up to operate in four shifts and three shifts.

"Extreme intelligence from Earthshaker: Laxul's strength exceeds expectations, and the Blade Leopard Squadron was completely wiped out! In addition, the Secret Snake Cult seems to have sent an envoy to Meister, and the specific purpose is unknown."

"Hmm?"

"I remember that the branch has issued a mission to kill Laxul. Has anyone taken it?" Deputy Minister of Affairs Colin seemed to have thought of something and asked.

"Please wait a moment, I'll check."

"Yes, the 'Meyster Battering Ram' Squadron took the mission." The female staff member quickly reported.

"Hmm? Is it a newly promoted gold-level team? However, this name seems a bit familiar!" Supervisor Colin looked puzzled.

"Yes, Lord Colin, it is indeed a newly formed team. The captain is Ryan Kalan, and the two team members are Captain Evelyn. Resume: Joined the Sword Bearer. Completed the Bronze Level. Completed the Diamond Star Level."

The female staff member reported with a look of surprise on her face.

"Hmm? Diamond Star Level?" Colin asked suspiciously.

This obviously did not conform to the normal promotion speed and procedures for new Sword Holders. Moreover, Colin could hear that the other party had completed the Diamond Star mission when he was at the Silver level. Obviously, someone had given him special approval.

"Ryan? Meister's battering ram? I remember! It was that very talented new Sword Holder!" Colin suddenly thought of something.

But immediately, his face changed and he said:

"Quick, report this information to the mission hall, and annotate as follows: It is recommended to notify Mr. Ryan immediately that the enemy's strength exceeds expectations and the situation has changed. The task of killing Laxul is suspended!"

"Okay, Lord Colin."

As soon as the female staff member left, another female staff member quickly reported, saying: "Director Colin, here is an urgent intelligence from Wales County."

"Read."

"Welsh County Observer McKen Urgent: Mr. Ryan, the captain of the gold-level sword bearer, killed the chief priest of the Black Flame Cult in Wales County - Galina, two Black Flame Guardians, and"

"Completed the investigation mission of the Golem Guard, and also killed a Golem Guard!"

"What?" Colin was shocked!

No, the strength of this sword bearer newcomer Ryan is so strong?

Could it be that the other party completed the diamond star mission before by relying on his own strength?

If that's the case, this mission may not be impossible to continue.

Immediately, Colin thought of a problem, that is, the annotation of the intelligence he just reported was not appropriate.

Forget it, let the mission hall worry about this kind of headache!

Colin pulled his few hairs and said with distress: "Report the urgent intelligence of the Earthshaker just now and this intelligence to the mission hall affairs officer, Mr. Yumaz."

"Well, Mr. Colin, how should our intelligence hall's annotation be written?" The female staff member next to him asked with her big eyes blinking.

According to regulations, the intelligence reported or forwarded by the intelligence hall needs to be annotated.

"It is recommended that Mr. Ryan make the decision!"
