The wizard starts by trimming the donkey's hooves

"Tied as 'Storm Cloud'?" Renn thought thoughtfully.

You know, the title is not just a random thing, whether it is a title, a title or a nickname.

For example, Renn's previous nickname "Maist Battering Ram" at least shows that Renn is good at using war hammers and possessing great strength. These two characteristics are.

In addition, epic level powerful people are all given titles.

Although it is only one word different from the title, the meaning is very different.

"Dragon Knight Pantoskir's mount is a green dragon named Hazas. Although he is only a teenage dragon, the acid breath of this green dragon is particularly powerful. Even the splashing acid mist will Very corrosive."

"In addition, it also has the innate ability to release the 'Sleeping Poison Cloud', which is very difficult to deal with. The reason for the title of Storm Cloud is also because of the opponent's innate ability."

"As for other situations, I'm not sure." Harlowen said solemnly.

"That's it." Renn nodded.

He knew that what Harlowen told him was actually an imperial secret.

After all, once the detailed combat strength information of the Empire's guardians is leaked, it will easily be targeted by the enemy in a specific way.

Only the Duke's eldest son like Harlowen has special channels to know these situations.

Early the next morning.

The mission hall of the Sword Bearer Headquarters was filled with people.

"Huh? Beyoncé, look, here is the recruitment information for an adamantine-level sword wielder! Great!"

A female wizard in blue robe glanced at the information on the wisdom stone in the center of the hall, and immediately turned to a hot-figured woman in leather armor next to her and said in surprise.

"Don't be too happy too early. Claire, you have magic iron level strength. Even if you sign up, I'm afraid others won't think highly of you." The leather-armored woman named Beyoncé immediately poured a pot of water on the blue-robed wizard. Cold water, said.

"Hmph! That's not necessarily the case."

"Huh? It was accepted yesterday. How come a day has passed and no one has signed up?" Claire, the blue-robed witch, approached and realized that something seemed wrong.

At this time, there was a young man wearing knight armor on the side. He seemed to know the two women and whispered: "Haven't you heard?"

"It is said that this Renne made a big mistake during a mission, and then, through some connections, he was promoted to the fine gold level."

"Huh? How could the headquarters allow such an operation?" Claire, the blue-robed witch, had wide eyes, obviously not believing it.

Both she and Beyoncé were promoted through local chapters.

Although they know that there are secret operations in many places in the empire, they have always felt that such a situation should rarely happen in the special combat department of sword holders.

"Really, everyone else is saying that. Otherwise, why do you think there is no one left when an Adamantine-level sword wielder recruits team members?"

In order to keep the strength and safety of its team members confidential, the Sword Bearers organization keeps everyone's specific mission records confidential, so Claire and the others cannot see Ren's resume or mission records.

This is like Lane's previous life. Even if the anti-narcotics police officers were commended, they would wear masks to accept the awards, or take photos without their faces to avoid retaliation.

The same goes for sword wielders, especially those who have killed high-ranking members of the cult.

The question "this" suddenly struck Claire's heart.

Although she was very anxious to join the team of adamantine-level sword wielders, the problem was that if it was true as the rumors said, this Renne was a connection figure whose own strength was not up to par.

That will be a disaster in subsequent mission executions!

You know, my former captain was so strong...

"However, if you are a powerful adamantine-level sword wielder, once you recruit team members, you will basically have no chance if you are a demon-iron level swordsman."

"Besides, there are still two of us here."

"Beyoncé, let's try it!" Claire said to Beyoncé beside her with a firm look in her beautiful eyes.

Time flies and it’s the third day.

When Ren came to a reservation room in the mission hall to meet with the swordsman who was interested in joining his team, he was stunned as soon as he entered the door.

Because the number of people was so small, the quota of five people was not even filled.

"Huh? Just four people?"

Ren glanced around and frowned slightly.

Logically speaking, based on the flow of people he saw in the mission hall of the headquarters, it was impossible for not even five people to sign up in three days.

In particular, he also heard that the sword-wielding captains at all levels in the headquarters have suffered relatively heavy losses recently.

In other words, there are now fewer captains and more players.

The situation here is too abnormal.

However, the three women and one man in front of me are all handsome men and beautiful women.

Renn had an inexplicable sense of déjà vu, as if he was recruiting a group in a bar in his previous life.

"Hey, Beyoncé, Captain Renne looks quite handsome." Claire whispered to Beyonce beside her.

"What's the use of being handsome? If you're not strong, it's not as good as being ugly and strong." Beyoncé said speechlessly.

As for Mia and Chandler, they originally wanted to send Beyonce away, but after second thoughts, they decided to let the two girls stay.

Because if it were just the two of them participating in the recruitment, this flaw would seem too obvious.

In addition, since they were both in the Sword Bearer Headquarters, they naturally knew these two women. Although they were not unfamiliar, they were also promoted from the branch. They had a weak background and average strength, so it would be easier to deal with them.

"Hello everyone! My name is Ryan, the new adamantium-level sword bearer." Ryan nodded slightly and said, "Tell me about your situation first."

"Claire, magic iron level, first-level wizard peak, good at fire." Claire was the first to say.

"Beyonce, Mithril level, ranger, good at bows and daggers."

"Mia, Mithril level, early second-level wizard, good at charm and negative energy." After saying that, Mia blinked her beautiful eyes at Ryan and smiled sweetly.

"Chandler, Magic Iron Level, Peak Level 1 Wizard, good at Earth System."

"Hmm? Both of you are Magic Iron Level? I remember that the requirement for my recruitment conditions seems to be Mithril Level, right?"

"Uh, Captain Ryan, my strength is actually very good, not worse than the average Mithril Level Sword Holder. If you don't believe me, you can try my fighting ability."

"If it really doesn't work, can I withdraw again?" Claire stood up and said with a little excitement.

Ryan glanced at Claire, then looked at the other people, and said, "Forget it! You are all hired."

"Hmm?" This made Beyonce and Claire look at each other.

So casual?

No assessment required?

This made the two feel that the rumors about Ryan were likely to be true.

"Captain Ryan, then shouldn't you show your strength too?" At this time, Mia said with a smile.

Although she knew some of Ryan's situation, she had never seen Ryan take action, so she naturally wanted to take a look to facilitate evaluation.

Beyonce on the side also nodded and said, "Yes, Captain Ryan, the training ground is next to us. We are looking forward to your showing your strength."

"Haha, there is no need to go to the training ground. I am in a hurry. As for showing strength? Then let's do it here."

The next second, Ryan's figure in front of him was motionless, but suddenly, four more figures of Ryan appeared in the room, standing next to the four people, with different postures.

Even Beyonce, the fastest ranger, was shocked at this moment, and the dagger in her hand was just half pulled out.

But soon, the four figures disappeared.

Only Ryan's original figure was left in the venue.

What Ryan just performed was the top-level ultimate shadow step, of course, Ryan did not perform it with all his strength.

"Instant clone technique?" Chandler exclaimed.

This kind of wizard who can clone has a strong ability to save his life, and it is extremely difficult to kill him.

"It's not a clone technique, it's some kind of step-like secret." Mia said in a deep voice.

But this also means that it's difficult to deal with, and the opponent's movement speed must be limited.

Mia's eyes flickered, and she was already thinking about how to deal with it.

At this point, the four no longer had any objections.

In fact, only Beyonce and Claire had objections before.

As for Mia and the other two, no matter how strong Ryan is, they will join.

"By the way, do you know why there are so few people who sign up to join my team?" Ryan asked at the right time.

At the same time, his keen perception stayed on the four people for a while.

"This. There are rumors outside that Captain Ryan's strength is not strong, but you are lucky." The blue-robed female wizard Claire hesitated and said euphemistically.

"Haha, that's it."

Ryan had just noticed that the two people named Mia and Chandler had a very slight disorder in their breath just now.

Disorder is different from fluctuation.

But

It needs to be tested again.

A few minutes later, the four signed the agreement to join the team.

At this time, Ryan said: "Get ready, we have to complete a mission in two hours."

"Ah? So soon? Captain, shouldn't we practice it?" Claire was surprised and confused.

This is different from the usual routine of a new team.

Shouldn't we practice cooperation for a while before setting off for the mission?

"Captain Ryan, what is the specific mission? We can also make corresponding combat preparations." Beyonce asked.

"Kill the venom dragon."

"What!" The two women were shocked.

Although Mia and Chandler also pretended to be shocked, Ryan's keen perception still detected a hint of delay and deliberateness.

This made Ryan feel something.

"See you at the headquarters airship platform in two hours." Ryan left the room first.

Beyonce and Claire looked at each other for a long time. They naturally knew that this was almost one of the most difficult tasks in the headquarters.

Although Ryan's strength just now was good, it was only good, reaching the level of an ordinary adamantine sword holder, but it was far from enough to solve the venom dragon.

At this time, Claire asked Mia, "You... don't you want to persuade the captain?"

"Hehe, you have to believe in the captain's strength." Mia laughed and left with Chandler.

At the same time.

Greenwood and Owen, the butler of the Durham family, met in a carriage at the entrance of the Sword Bearer headquarters.

"Sir Owen, does your uncle mean to hire the Black Knife Organization to do it?" Greenwood frowned and said.

In his opinion, his current plan is almost flawless. Let any consultant of his family go out and basically ensure that it is foolproof.

"Yes, the Duke has contacted the Black Knife Organization, and the other party will send a King of Killers."

"Is that so? Well, I get it." Greenwood's frown loosened.

It seems that his uncle did not underestimate Ryan.

The King of Killers, only those who have successfully assassinated legendary strongmen are eligible to be awarded this title.

Even as the top killer organization Black Knife, there are very few killers who have won the title of 'King of Killers'.

It is naturally the best to use such a top killer to deal with Ryan, who is more proficient in witchcraft.

"In addition, the Duke said that Admiral Donald took a lot of risks to help operate this matter this time."

"Because I heard that Marshal Alfred originally wanted to meet this Ryan, but because of urgent military information, he left the imperial capital some time ago."

"So." Butler Owen said.

"So, this time must be successful!" Greenwood waved his hand and said before Butler Owen.

He understood the unfinished meaning in Owen's words.

"Master Greenwood, wise, otherwise, there might be few opportunities to take action later." Butler Owen smiled and bowed.

A day and a half later.

Nome City, airship berth.

Many people in noble costumes are waiting for the airship from the imperial capital, obviously to pick people up.

But three of them are quite eye-catching, dressed in combat uniforms.

If Ryan was at the scene, he would immediately recognize that the other party was Langer, Frye and Alex, who had fought with him.

"Captain, how come the name of the adamantine-level sword bearer who came from the imperial capital headquarters this time is exactly the same as that of Lord Ryan in the Munster Province?" Frye, a tall and thin young man in leather armor, asked curiously.

"It's a coincidence." Alex, who was wearing a robe and holding a book with an iron-style cover in his hand, thought about it and said.

Although Lord Ryan's strength is indeed very strong, it is not possible that he will be promoted to the adamantine level so quickly.

After all, strength is strength. It is not easy to upgrade the level of a sword holder. It requires completing difficult or arduous tasks. It is too illogical to upgrade to the adamantium level so quickly.

"But why do I always have a hunch that this Lord Ryan is the one from Munster." Frye frowned.

"Hehe, I hope so, but it is impossible. This is a adamantium-level sword holder from the imperial capital, at least with legendary strength." Langer smiled and shook his head.

"But Lord Ryan seems to be about the same!" Frye said with his neck stiff.

Last time he went to Munster, he was completely convinced by Ryan. After returning, he often talked about Ryan, and there was no lack of admiration in his words.

"This"

For a while, Langer and Alex couldn't say anything to refute.

Because the Ryan in Lin Province was really like a demon.

"However, we don't need to guess anymore. The airship from the imperial capital has arrived." Alex smiled and pointed to the sky and said.

A quarter of an hour later.

"Hiss~ Is it really you, Lord Ryan?" The three of them exclaimed at Ryan with dumbfounded expressions.

"Captain Langgel, Alex, Fry, long time no see." Ryan, who had just stepped off the airship, greeted them with a smile.

Ryan had a good impression of these three people.

In the battle of Mayest, the cult was powerful, and the three of them fought against the cult without any shrinking, which was still very appreciated by Ryan.

At this time, Mia and Chandler, who were behind Ryan, looked at each other and whispered:

"I can't tell that this Ryan seems to be quite famous."

"Well, I didn't expect that there were sword holders in the Gnom Province who recognized him so much."

"This team is very strong in the branch, but it's a pity that it's going to be cleared out." Mia glanced at Langgel and the other two and said.

"Well, this captain Langgel is quite strong, close to the magic iron level." Chandler also nodded slightly and echoed.

The two of them naturally knew that Ryan was from the nearby Munster Province. Unexpectedly, his fame was known even to people in the Gnomes Province. This was very unusual.

After a brief greeting, Langer asked:

"Lord Ryan, according to the instructions of the headquarters, the branch sent us to accompany you. So should we set off directly now, or stay in Gnomes for one night today?"

Langer had already adjusted the address of Mr. Ryan to Lord Ryan.

"Yes, Lord Ryan, how about staying in Gnomes for the night?" Frye said with a smile.

"Go directly, and we'll have a good gathering after you come back." Ryan smiled and said.

Come back?

Can you come back?

Chandler couldn't help but curl his lips slightly when he saw this scene.

"That's fine! Lord Ryan, the griffin is ready, let's go now." Langer led the way.

Soon, a group of people rode alone, controlling the griffin, and quickly moved towards their destination - the Black Mud Swamp.

The venomous dragons like swamps by nature, and the black mud swamp hundreds of miles away from the Gnom City has become the best location for their nests. It is convenient for them to attack the densely populated human villages and towns around them, prey on humans and livestock, and return to their nests quickly.

"Lord Ryan, we plan to kill a few of the previously prepared ferocious species in the mud town outside the black mud swamp to lure them out of the black mud swamp."

Since receiving this task, Langgel has thought of several plans and made a lot of preparations.

"Okay." Ryan thought for a moment and agreed.

Going directly to the swamp full of miasma is naturally not as convenient as waiting for something to happen.

Half an hour later, a small airship with a family crest also arrived at the airship docking point in Gnom City.

The leader was Greenwood, and beside him was a warrior who looked extremely burly and strong.

The other party was nearly three meters tall and had a rough face. If Harlowen was present, he would definitely recognize that this was a Breton from the Cyrodiil Plateau, who was said to have the blood of giants.

"Did Ryan leave as soon as he arrived?"

"Yes."

"Has Feng Peng arranged it?"

"It's arranged, Master Greenwood."

"Sir Greg, let's go too."

In the town of Mud.

"Captain Langgel, you don't need to participate in this battle, just be responsible for the periphery."

"This... Let Alex help, he is a wizard, he should be able to help." Langgel thought for a while and said.

He and Frye are both good at close combat, but fighting with a legendary creature like the Venom Dragon that is full of poison and can fly is like a centenarian eating arsenic and thinking that life is too long.

"Alright."

"You guys, just use witchcraft and archery attacks from a distance, I will attract the other party's attention." Ryan said to the four new team members.

"Okay, captain." Mia couldn't help laughing.

There is such a good thing.

Isn't it convenient for the two of them to attack?

"Captain, are you sure you can hold the other party back?" Claire said with a trace of worry.

After reading the information of the Venom Dragon, she was still afraid of the other party's strength and difficulty.

"Don't worry, don't forget, I am a fine gold sword holder." Ryan smiled.

Half an hour later.

Ryan squinted his eyes and looked at the sky, only to see a black dragon more than ten feet long, flying quickly from the direction of the black mud swamp to the location of the mud town.

It seemed that there were also some black fluorescent debris scattered around it. According to the intelligence, this debris was highly poisonous.

When it saw the corpse of the violent species on the ground, the venom dragon began to flap its wings and prepared to circle down.

But in an instant, a huge silver metal net blasted directly at the venom dragon from a house!

Ryan's double-enhanced second-level witchcraft "Cutting Net" immediately scraped the venom dragon all over its body.

Then, another "Cutting Net"!

"Ang!!!"

However, although it looked seriously injured, in fact, for the venom dragon, this was only a superficial injury, but it made it extremely angry.

The venom dragon climbed up rapidly, and then rotated towards Ryan and dived directly. At the same time, its mouth opened wide, and the cystic cavity visible to the naked eye contracted, and it was about to spray out a large amount of black venom with a fishy smell.

It was the breath-breathing ability that dragon creatures were best at.

"Rotor dive kill!"

"Venom spit!"

"Good opportunity!"

Mia and Chandler looked at each other. They didn't expect to have a chance to attack at the beginning, but they didn't hesitate, but nodded quickly.

"Imprisonment!" Mia squinted her eyes, licked her beautiful red lips, and cast a first-level negative energy witchcraft imprisonment spell on her captain Ryan.

Imprisonment, a first-level witchcraft, is not easy to practice. It requires the mastery of the pre-zero-level witchcraft slow spell and weakness spell, and the mastery of the "Principle of Negative Energy" to be able to perform it smoothly.

Moreover, seeing Mia perform it so quickly, it is obvious that she is extremely talented.

"Rock and Earth Grip!"

Chandler also cast a fixed earth-based witchcraft on Ryan.

It seems that his ability is not enough to cast this witchcraft, so he uses a scroll shining with earth-yellow witchcraft aura.

He quickly tore it apart, and a strong yellow light rushed into the mud under Ryan's feet.

Boom!

Two wheel-sized mud hands suddenly emerged from the ground and tightly grasped Ryan's legs.

For a moment, the two team members who were supposed to help Ryan and help Ryan deal with the venom dragon's trick suddenly became the ones who stabbed him in the back.

"You!" Langgel saw this change and couldn't help but split his eyes and said in horror.

Alex wanted to help Ryan, but it took time to cast the spell, and at this moment, the venom dragon had already swooped down, and it was too late for him to do anything.

The same was true for Claire. Although she mastered the dispersal spell, facing this long-planned attack, even if she wanted to help Ryan, she was powerless.

"It's over!" She looked at this scene with a pair of beautiful eyes, and her heart was horrified.

Beyoncé quickly performed an aiming shot, as if to attract some of the Venom Dragon's attention, but the Venom Dragon had already hated Ryan so much that it chose to take her attack and continued to attack Ryan.

"Hey, Greenwood asked us to say hello to Mr. Ryan." Chandler saw this scene and immediately felt that the overall situation was settled. He bowed to Ryan in a gentlemanly manner and said.

In his opinion, even if Captain Ryan had a killer move and survived by chance, he would be seriously injured.

Mia didn't expect that this time would go so smoothly. Ryan actually trusted her and Chandler so much, and one person was at the front, which made it too convenient for them to "stab" in the back.

It was so convenient that he even felt a little bit of pity.

"Finally I've waited for you to make a move." A calm voice came out through the roar of the Venom Dragon.

"Huh?"

"What?"

Mia and Chandler were stunned. Did Ryan know that there was something wrong with them?

But before they could think about it, Ryan said again: "The one in the bush on the left, what are you waiting for?"

Huh? Someone else?

Including Mia, Chandler, Claire and Beyonce, they all looked at the location Ryan mentioned in surprise.

You know, there are only three wizards here. How can the other party avoid the wizard's perception and lurk aside?

"Buzz~"

A vibration sound like a bee came from the air, and then the sound became louder and louder.

"Swish!"

A black shadow holding a twisted scimitar rushed straight to Ryan from the bushes in the distance, and the speed was so fast that it drew a black line, which was faster than the speed of sound.

White air waves formed around his body and vibrated and spread like ripples.
