The wizard starts by trimming the donkey's hooves

"However, this is a good thing, but it's a pity that I can't learn it all at once."

"To perform the second-level witchcraft, you need to achieve spiritual liquefaction, which is also a prerequisite for learning the second-level witchcraft." Ryan thought to himself.

At this time, the girl Georgia next to him curiously wandered around. This was her first time to come to the so-called storage room of the Sea God Church.

She casually flipped through a pile of miscellaneous items on the side, dusted it off, and then saw the big words on the cover clearly, and whispered softly: "Otakar's diary?"

"Huh?"

Ryan, who was about to open the parchment scroll and check the second-level metal witchcraft "Cutting Net", was suddenly stunned.

Otakar?

Isn't this the real name of this "cutter"?

Ryan immediately turned to Georgia and said, "Georgia, please show me the diary in your hand."

"Of course, sir." Georgia stuck out her tongue, ran over a little embarrassedly, and respectfully handed the diary in her hand, which had not been opened, to Ryan.

"Don't touch anything here without Lord Ryan's order." Brother Fandral whispered in Georgia's ear.

"Well, I just flipped through it casually, Lord Ryan won't mind." The girl Georgia looked at her brother who had become a loyal fan of Lord Ryan, and was very speechless.

As Ryan turned the pages, his brows became more and more relaxed, and in the end, a smile that could not be concealed appeared on his face.

After turning more than ten pages, Ryan let out a long sigh.

He closed the diary and stood up.

Perhaps, the biggest gain this time was not the second-level metal witchcraft "Cutting Net", but this diary.

It turns out that the ‘cutter’ Otakar was not born in the wizard school. At first, he was just a wandering wizard apprentice, but he was the kind of person with extremely good luck.

With the favor of the goddess of luck, when he was a third-level wizard apprentice, he explored an ancient ruins and actually got a fragmentary inheritance of the ancient wizard school.

Yes, it was not a certain witchcraft or a certain potion formula, but a heritage containing multiple witchcrafts and step-by-step training experience.

If this kind of situation is said, there are still a few among a hundred wizard apprentices.

But the inheritance happens to be extremely suitable for one's own situation, which is rare. This kind of luck is probably one in a thousand.

After practicing in person, Otakar knew that his incomplete inheritance contained a witchcraft killer move.

To put it simply, a witchcraft killer move is an attack form that is performed by two or more witchcrafts in a specific way, so that the power of witchcraft increases exponentially.

The incomplete inheritance of Otakar included a witchcraft killer move consisting of the second-level metal witchcraft 'Cutting Net' and the zero-level witchcraft 'Sharp Art'.

A combination of the simplest metal witchcraft killer moves, which only includes two witchcrafts, one of which is a zero-level witchcraft.

Of course, although it is the simplest witchcraft killer move, there are also requirements. It is necessary to solidify the second-level metal witchcraft 'Cutting Net' as a gifted witchcraft, and at the same time, the casting time of the zero-level witchcraft 'Sharp Art' is compressed to within 0.1 seconds.

This is why Ryan couldn't help but smile when he saw this.

It is simply a witchcraft killer move tailor-made for him. If anyone sees it, I'm afraid they will laugh out loud.

You know, after Otakar became a second-level wizard and solidified the 'Cutting Net' as a gifted witchcraft, he spent a lot of time practicing the 'Sharp Art'.

Ryan could naturally skip the latter process. As long as he solidified the ‘Cutting Net’ into a second-level talent magic, he could perform combination magic.

In the end, he mastered this recorded combination magic, but others did not know it.

Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, the ‘Cutting Net’ performed by Otakar was extremely powerful, and they thought he was gifted, which also earned him the nickname ‘Cutter’.

In fact, this is because metal wizards are rare, and even fewer know that ‘Sharpness’ and ‘Cutting Net’ can form a combination magic.

Therefore, even if some wizards are confused, they attribute it to Otakar’s outstanding talent, who is able to modify and enhance the magic power of the second-level metal magic ‘Cutting Net’.

If it weren’t for the fact that Ryan was in the old nest of the Poseidon Cult in the Howling Fjord at this time, it would not be suitable for further in-depth research.

Ryan would probably immerse himself in it without sleep and food.

"Georgia, thank you very much. This diary is very useful to me. Please help me continue to search for some information related to Otakar here." Ryan picked up the Otakar diary in his hand, raised it to indicate, and smiled.

"Of course, Lord Ryan, these are your spoils of war, and I found them by accident." Georgia was quite excited when she heard Ryan's praise, and she slightly tilted her head to glance at her brother.

Look! You even criticized me, and Lord Ryan praised me!

Fandral looked at his sister and was also laughing and crying.

At this time, Ryan smiled and said to Fandral: "Captain Fandral, try to pick the things here that are of high value and relatively light to move away. We will evacuate in half an hour."

"Yes, Lord Ryan." Fandral was much more respectful than his sister and bowed slightly.

Half an hour later

Although Georgia searched very carefully, she still couldn't find anything more valuable in the pile of debris. Ryan looked at some of the potion formulas he found and gave up.

They were all apprentice-level potion formulas.

Of course, it is very likely that more valuable formulas have been sent away by Havers long ago.

As a record of some metal wizards, Otakar's diary is probably not that important in the eyes of Havers and others, so it was casually discarded here.

After a while, more than ten war horses, all fully loaded with spoils, mission certificates from the Slippery Blade Naga and the Thick-shelled Lobster Man, etc., returned to the town.

Among them, the heaviest ones were the three simple carts pulled by the team at the end, on which were placed two mixtures of blood, flesh and soil shoveled from the ground, and the huge head of the deep-sea giant leader Dune.

The two mixtures of blood, flesh and soil were the meat-patty-shaped bodies of Havers and Ursula. Since they were mixed with compressed soil, they were naturally heavy.

According to Fandral, although they were heavy, they were still worth carrying away and collecting a high bounty from the empire.

As for the head of the giant Dune, although it was just a head, it was more than one meter long and as heavy as a large vat.

Fortunately, the three carts were covered with cloth, otherwise, it would probably scare many passers-by along the way.

However, even though they were covered with cloth, the strong smell of blood, plus the smell of giant claw seafood in the sacks on both sides of the other horses, mixed together, still drifted all the way, attracting many people to look at the team curiously.

This situation continued until everyone arrived at the town of Ilgala, and began to reach a climax.

"Hey! Fandral, did you guys from the Ice Claw Bear Mercenary Group go fishing? It stinks!" A burly scarred man, carrying a square iron shield, stepped forward and said with disdain.

"Spencer, no matter how stinky it is, it's not as stinky as your mouth!" Fandral immediately retorted.

However, after the two approached, they hugged each other tightly, patted each other on the back, and then laughed.

This is the rough way of greeting for mercenaries who live on the edge of a knife.

"Fandal, it seems that you have a good harvest this time."

"By the way, have you heard? A big news! The Proto-Dragon Corasius was killed by an adult. Everyone was talking about it just now." Spencer immediately started to share a big news with Fandral.

"Are you talking about the Proto-Dragon Corasius? The mutant Proto-Dragon that even the Dean of Winterhold Academy, Master Batalov, couldn't handle?" Fandral said with surprise.

He originally wanted to share his legendary experience with the other party, but he didn't expect that the other party told him a shocking news first.

"Yes, it is said that a man named Ryan directly killed the Proto-Dragon Corasius, and also gained the loyalty of multiple clans of ice bear monsters."

"Now this Lord Ryan who suddenly appeared has been called the 'King of Bear Monsters' and the 'Proto-Dragon Killer' by people. This matter has spread among the Winterhold College and some nearby forces."

"Huh? What's his name? Lord Ryan?!"

Hearing this news, all the members of the Ice Claw Bear Mercenary Group, including Fandral, stood still as if struck by lightning!

"How about it! Shocked!" Spencer saw the dull expressions of Fandral and others, and couldn't help but be very satisfied.

Damn, he was also very shocked when he heard the news.

That was the Proto-Dragon Corasius, and Lord Batalov, who was quite prestigious in the area of ​​​​the Frost Tundra and the Icefield, couldn't deal with him.

However, the next second, Spencer was a little strange, because everyone, including Fandral, seemed to be unable to help but look at a young man in a white wizard robe in the team.

Spencer looked up and down at Ryan, and he naturally couldn't tell Ryan's depth, so he soon stopped paying attention.

However, he was very curious about what his old friend Fandral had in the rear panel this time, and why it smelled so bloody.

Spencer walked to the side of the cart, and before Fandral could stop him, he opened the cloth with a "crash".

Spencer and the few people next to him looked closely, and the next second, they were frightened and turned pale, retreated several steps, and fell to the ground.

"Fuck!"

"Fuck! What is this!"

A huge head appeared in front of everyone on the cart, especially the huge eyes that were like lanterns, glaring, and seemed to be staring at Spencer.

This strong sense of oppression instantly swept the hearts of everyone around.

No wonder Spencer, who was quite powerful just now, was almost scared out of his wits!

The mercenaries around him also looked like they had seen a ghost and retreated in fear.

"Is this the head of a giant?!"

"It smells like the sea, it should be the head of a deep-sea giant."

"But the head of a deep-sea giant is not this big, right?"

"Yes! The head of the deep-sea giant that the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group brought back last time was not even half the size of this one. Could it be a leader among the deep-sea giants?"

"When did the Ice Claw Bear Mercenary Group have this kind of strength?"

For a while, everyone around whispered.

The mercenaries and wizard apprentices farther away also gathered around curiously, and even the guards patrolling the town of Ilgala squeezed over out of curiosity.

A middle-aged man with a mustache, who was riding a horse and wearing a noble hunting suit, also saw this scene from a high position and was deeply moved.

He turned his head and asked the guard beside him, "Go and find out what the mercenary group is called?"

"The legendary deep-sea giant, could it be the deep-sea giant leader Duen who was just announced and ranked second on the bounty list!" The middle-aged man with a mustache murmured.

However, without Ryan's permission, Fandral would naturally not reveal Ryan's identity.

The statement to the outside world was that they were lucky and met a strong man who killed the deep-sea giant leader, and they picked up a loophole.

But Fandral's statement made the people around him drool with envy.

When Ryan returned to the forest again and reunited with Anna, the delighted Anna was like a light butterfly, and she threw herself into Ryan's arms at once.

Seeing this scene, the other members of the Ice Claw Bear Mercenary Group were fine. At most, they thought that this girl should be the sweetheart of Lord Ryan, but the girl Georgia felt a little strange at the moment.

After all, a boyfriend like Lord Ryan is the prince charming in every girl's dream!

Of course, this sour feeling came and went quickly.

The girl had just met Ryan for a short time, and these jealous feelings soon disappeared without a trace.

After Anna hugged Ryan tightly, she noticed that there were other people behind Ryan, which made her face blush slightly, and she left Ryan's arms shyly.

Of course, she was also very curious why Ryan brought back ten strangers after being away for most of the day.

"Anna, this is Fandral, the leader of the Ice Claw Bear Mercenary Group."

"This is his sister Georgia."

Ryan introduced them one by one.

Obviously, compared to Fandral, Anna was more interested in Georgia, who was of the same age, and her beautiful eyes looked up and down at each other with interest.

"Sister Anna, hello, it's an honor to meet you!" Georgia knelt slightly and gave Anna a lady's salute.

"Uh, hello, Georgia, nice to meet you."

Anna didn't quite understand why the other party was so respectful to her, as if she was treating a big shot, but she immediately smiled and greeted her.

After a few greetings, Ryan and Anna rode the blood-feathered horned eagle and returned to Winterhold College first.

The Ice Claw Bear Mercenary Group rode on horseback afterwards.

And Fandral and his party looked at the flying blood-feathered horned eagle and couldn't help but sigh! ——

After returning to Winterhold College.

Ryan and Batalov and other senior executives of Winterhold College briefly exchanged some information about this trip to Howling Fjord.

Soon, Melita took some information about witchcraft killer moves, that is, combined witchcraft, and placed it on Ryan's desk.

And Ryan immediately read it carefully.

Half a day later, after careful consideration, Ryan decided to use "Cutting Net" as his second-level talent witchcraft.

It’s not that he hadn’t considered the problem of stronger metal combination witchcraft.

But after reading the information, Ryan found that there were very few such witchcraft killer moves handed down, and even fewer metal ones.

Ryan couldn’t drag it out and not be promoted, even if it was to find a stronger witchcraft killer move. , that would be a waste of time.

In addition, according to the ancient books, many witchcraft killer moves were accidentally discovered by ancient wizards in battle, which made Ryan have a vague guess in his heart.

However, this guess also needs to be verified after he enters the second-level liquefied wizard.

Since the ‘cutting net’ is a second-level witchcraft, if you want to learn it, you naturally have to upgrade yourself to the level of a second-level liquefied wizard.

Ryan opened the wooden box and saw him take out seven soul energy crystals and hold them in his hands, and quickly run the Iron Heart Advanced Meditation Method, and the system prompts also sounded:

[Ding! Soul energy crystals that can improve the degree of mental atomization are detected, yes/no to accelerate absorption? (Note: System absorption can remove impurities and can be absorbed all at once.)]

"Yes!"

Instantly, Ryan felt that the silver mist in the spiritual sea began to increase rapidly. Soon, about 90% of the area in the spiritual sea was filled with silver mist.

Ryan glanced at the system panel:

Spirit: 73 (atomization 92%)

"Huh? I added 5 points of spirit in the previous battle, and the atomization degree also increased to 72%. Now it has reached 92%. With this calculation, one soul crystal has not even increased by 3% now."

After thinking about it, Ryan used up the remaining three soul crystals in the wooden box.

So, soon, Ryan pushed the atomization degree of mental power to 98% in one fell swoop, exceeding the minimum requirement of 90% atomization for promotion to the second-level liquefied wizard, eight points.
