Chapter 210: Class Change - Weapon Master (Part 2)

Chapter 210: Class Change - Weapon Master (Part 2)



At this moment, Major Marika arrived at the training ground with a delighted smile, joyfully addressing Rain, "Baron Rain, the Imperial Navy's Southern Sea Fleet, in collaboration with the Goddess of Wind and Sea Church, has achieved decisive victories in the naval battle and the island raid over the past two days."

"Not only did they crush the pirates' joint fleet, but they also destroyed the strongholds of the God of Sea Sect and various pirate gangs in the nearby waters of Myester County."

"Currently, the Southern Sea Fleet and the Goddess Church are in hot pursuit of the fleeing Sea God Sect priests and the upper echelons of various pirate gangs. These individuals are mostly fleeing towards the open sea."

"So, I believe our Special Task Force's mission can be considered officially concluded."

Upon hearing this good news, Rain also smiled and said, "It seems that the information we conveyed to the fleet has indeed played a significant role."

"That's right, Baron Rain. The two prisoners you captured earlier played a crucial role in providing intelligence."

Hearing Rain's words, Major Marika's smile widened, revealing her pearly white teeth.

"Additionally, regarding the wizardry you requested, the 'Aenius Avian Transformation Spell'."

"Lieutenant Silva has sent a reply, and he has already sought approval from the commander of the Southern Sea Fleet. Your request has been approved."

"I think that later on, you can contact Veronica to teach you the relevant wizardry. This should be the quickest method."

After listening to Marika, Rain couldn't help but feel overjoyed. He nodded and said, "That's fantastic!"

This meant that he could now ask Veronica for guidance and learn this wizardry at any time.

This was indeed great news!

Once he mastered this wizardry, he could immediately search for a relatively powerful raptor as his third pet.

With this, he could gain a broader perspective and control situations from a wider range, especially in scenarios like raids.

Additionally, learning new wizardry might very well earn him substantial experience for his Extraordinary Apprentice Wizard profession, potentially pushing it to level 6 and fulfilling all the requirements for the class change to Weapon Master (Legendary).

Thinking of this, Rain couldn't help but feel a bit excited.

"Thank you very much, Major Marika," Rain said, looking at the beautiful Major Marika with a gentlemanly bow.

"Baron Rain, it is I who should be thanking you. If it weren't for you capturing the messenger of the God of Sea Sect and the vice-leader of the Black Sails Pirates, our Special Task Force's mission would not have been so successful," Marika said, smiling as she adjusted a strand of hair that fell beside her face.

After the lovely Major left, Rain was about to go and find Veronica, but as he stepped out, he encountered the Ramon brothers walking towards him.

So, Rain returned to his room once more.

The Ramon brothers reported, "Baron, this is the Extraordinary Combat Technique of the Bloody Archer, Phil Krauz."

The older brother, Kobert Ramon, handed Rain a thin scroll of sheepskin, still slightly damp from the ink, indicating it was written recently.

"Blood Rage Archery?"

Rain took the scroll and glanced at the title, feeling quite surprised.

The Ramon brothers' interrogation methods were indeed effective! They had extracted the archery techniques that made the Bloody Archer, Phil Krauz, famous.

As for the Ramon brothers' concern about Phil Krauz tampering with the archery techniques, Rain wasn't worried at all.

Because the system would automatically help him discern the authenticity or, more specifically, determine if it was a valid combat technique.

It was simple; as long as this Extraordinary Combat Technique could be displayed on his profession panel, it was genuine, and he could learn it.

So, for others, they might need to spend a lot of effort finding an archery master for verification or learn with trepidation, but for Rain, these issues didn't exist.

However, at this level, Phil Krauz should be considered thoroughly interrogated by the Ramon brothers!

"We believe this Bloody Archer, Phil Krauz, has little value left. What do you think about finding a time to execute him by hanging at the town administration office?" suggested Koberd Ramon. "This will not only boost the morale of the Fishing Harbor Town residents, assuring them of the Empire's ability to protect them, but also deter the pirates who have designs on the town."

"Yes, Baron. We will make the arrangements immediately," Koniet Ramon added.

The Ramon brothers harbored deep hatred for Phil Krauz, who had injured them with his arrows. Over the past few days of interrogation, they had thoroughly vented their frustrations.

However, if such an expert were to escape, it would be disastrous for the two brothers, so they strongly suggested to Ryan that the other party be executed.

After the Ramon brothers left, Ryan quickly reviewed the sheepskin scroll of 'Blood Rage Archery'.

Although it was dictated by Phil Krauz, the presence of a dedicated scribe made the writing clear and neat, making it effortless to read.

Ryan skimmed through it, nodding slightly, thinking it was not bad.

The secret techniques 'Rapid Fire' and 'Blood Rage Strike' were described, making it a fairly complete set of extraordinary archery combat techniques.

However, Ryan currently had no intention of learning them.

His current priority was to quickly advance the Extraordinary Apprentice Wizard to level 6, thereby acquiring the final skill points for the Legendary Weapon Master.

Once the threat of the Sea God Sect and the pirates was eliminated, Ryan planned to gradually hand over the daily management of Fishing Harbor Town to the Ramon brothers.

Since most of the administrative work in Fishing Harbor Town was also carried out by the two brothers before his arrival, this process wouldn't be difficult.

Because it was already the last few days of White Snow Month, and he would soon enter the month of Vitality. The final day of the Imperial Swordsmen Organization's evaluation was on the last day of the month of Vitality, but since the location was in the provincial capital of Minster, Ryan needed to reserve at least a week for the journey, so this was how he calculated it.

He could stay in Fishing Harbor Town for about twenty days at most.

With the pirate threat eliminated, he didn't need to continue as the governor of Fishing Harbor Town, so Ryan had already planned to report to Baron Hubert in a couple of days and ask the Count to quickly choose a suitable person to replace him.

Ryan thought for a moment, and there was one more thing he needed to do.

He took a pair of arm blades from the Zalar Resistance Army's Quasi-Ultimate Technique General Parix from inside.

This pair of arm blades was removed from Parix's arm armor because Ryan discovered that the forging materials of this pair of arm blades seemed to have excellent sharpness and hardness.

And he just lacked a pair of sharp claws, so he planned to use this pair of arm blades to add a pair of short-bladed claws to his plate armor gauntlets by melting and casting.

The purpose was, of course, to perform the secret technique 'Hundred Rend Strike' of Kadhar Fist Technique.

Previously, Ryan's fist technique level had always been low, so this matter had always been an issue.

Until today, his Kadhar Fist Technique level entered level 9, triggering the secret technique 'Hundred Rend Strike lv2'. Without the sharp claw gauntlets, it would still be relatively more influential on Ryan's fist technique performance.

Just as Ryan was pondering, the knocking sound rang out again.

"Knock knock knock!"

"Come in!"

Veronica Meyer, in a white dress, walked in with a smile. Today, she rarely wore a black wizard robe, but instead, she wore a one-shoulder fitted white cashmere dress, outlining the already well-developed curves.

The twin ponytails behind her head added a burst of youthful vitality.

This made Ryan's eyes light up, and he was just about to look for her, but unexpectedly, she came to him first.

Additionally, Veronica, despite being only eighteen years old, had a beautiful chest that was in no way inferior to a mature woman, belonging to the kind that a husband could play with and a child could drink, combined with her youthful appearance, she was comparable to a character that walked out of a comic from Ryan's previous life.

Before Ryan could open his mouth, Veronica took the initiative to say, "Ryan, I came this time to ask for your help."

"Oh, please say it, Miss Veronica. If I can help, it will be my honor." Ryan smiled and nodded.

For Veronica, who had inherited the wizardry school's lineage, Ryan wanted to befriend her.

On the one hand, he might still need to trouble her for the 'Enius Avian Transformation Spell'. On the other hand, he still hoped to gain more wizardry knowledge from her.

"Hehe, then thank you, Ryan." Hearing Ryan's quick agreement, Veronica couldn't help but giggle, covering her mouth.

"It's like this, I'm searching for a sea bird called the Iron Beak Sea Eagle, which is a type of raptor sea bird."

"You know, the birds I previously cultivated or contracted with didn't include raptors. Additionally, considering my position in the navy, birds adapted to the marine environment are the first choice, so I chose this raptor as my new cultivation object."

"But recently, I searched and found that there's a small distribution on an island several kilometers southeast of Fishing Harbor Town."

Hearing this, Ryan suddenly realized why he hadn't seen much of Veronica lately; it turned out she was busy with this matter.

Also, the Iron Beak Sea Eagle she mentioned piqued his interest.

Perhaps, he could choose the Iron Beak Sea Eagle as his third pet.

However, this decision wasn't urgent, and he could accompany Veronica to take a look first.

Veronica continued, "But that area, I had the white seagulls check, and it turned out to be one of the main activity areas of the black gill fishmen, so I wanted to ask Ryan to come along, as it might be safer."

"These Black Gills Fishmen often attack in groups, and some individuals are quite capable, reaching the level of a Knight Apprentice."

"On rare occasions, they can even match the strength of a Knight Commander. If I were to face them alone, it might be a challenging task, so..." Veronica's crystal eyes fixed on Rain, explaining.

Although Veronica had only known Rain for a short time, she inexplicably felt a sense of trust in him.

She believed that if Rain accompanied her, her mission to acquire the Iron Beak Sea Eagle chick would be a success.

Rain smiled.

"Of course, Miss Veronica. When shall we depart? As I am the Governor of Fishing Harbor Town, I will need some time to hand over my duties before joining you."

"Of course, Your Excellency Rain! That's wonderful!" Veronica's twin ponytails swayed, and her fair-skinned hands clenched in excitement, clearly delighted that Rain had agreed to accompany her.

"Shall we set off tomorrow morning? If all goes well, we should be able to make a round trip on the same day. As for the boat, I have one ready." Rain nodded.

"That's perfect, Your Excellency Rain. I'm so happy you agreed to come with me." Veronica's white hands tightened with joy.

"Now, can we start the ritual?" Veronica asked, slightly puzzled.

Rain's eagerness seemed a bit surprising.

"Of course, Miss Veronica. Let's proceed." Rain's fair hand waved, and they walked side by side to the small alchemy room that Veronica had just renovated in the town's administrative building.

As they walked, Veronica explained, "My mentor's Avian Transformation Spell is not a pure Wizardry but rather a Wizardry ritual that requires specific materials."

"An essential component is a newly hatched chick or an unhatched egg."

"Can either work?" Rain asked casually.

"Yes, both are acceptable. An unhatched egg is ideal, but if the egg contains an undeveloped embryo, the spell may not work. So, we usually choose a newly hatched chick."

"

Veronica already had a favorable impression of Rain, and now that she had received approval from above, she was even more dedicated to teaching him. She held nothing back in her explanations.

In the alchemy room, Veronica personally demonstrated the ritual for Rain, using a White Seagull chick as the subject.

It was a perfect opportunity to replace the White Seagulls that had died previously.

Veronica first placed the fluffy White Seagull chick on a soft cushion in the center of the room and then positioned a peculiar leaf with purple patterns in front of it.

Next, she began grinding a special ink made from various herbs.

"Your Excellency Rain, this is the Moonlight Ink. When drawing the hexagram magic array, we'll use this ink." Veronica explained as she prepared the ink.

Her meticulous instructions greatly increased Rain's learning efficiency, which would have been much lower if he had to study from books alone.

Veronica's hands-on teaching saved Rain a significant amount of learning time.

After grinding the ink, Veronica began drawing the hexagram magic array on the ground using the pale silver Moonlight Ink.

"Success on the first try! Well done!" Veronica's face lit up with a smile.

It was important to succeed in front of Rain, as failure might have been a little embarrassing.

The final step was next.

Veronica took out a bottle of light green potion and began chanting a spell.

As the crisp sound of the incantation filled the room, the hexagram magic array gradually lit up, and a mystical light unique to Wizardry appeared! The next second, Veronica uncorked the potion bottle, and the light green liquid, like a living thing, coiled around the white chick.

Veronica pointed at the purple leaf, and the entire ritual reached its climax.

The chick, potion, and leaf reacted in a magical way, and in an instant, multiple system prompts appeared:

[You have focused on observing the 'Aenius Avian Transformation Spell,' and your understanding has increased!]



[You have learned a new skill - Aenius Avian Transformation Spell]

【Your Aenius Avian Transformation Spell skill is enhanced, gaining +69 experience points.】

【You focus on Aenius Avian Transformation Spell, gaining 151 experience points as a Wizard Apprentice (Extraordinary).】

【Congratulations! Your Wizard Apprentice (Extraordinary) profession level has increased!】

The profession level of Wizard Apprentice (Extraordinary) has risen from level 5 to level 6 (11/3000), and at the bottom of the panel, it displays 5 remaining attribute points and 1 remaining skill point.

Upon seeing this, a radiant smile appeared on Rain's face.

Veronica couldn't help but feel surprised and curious. Why was Rain's face filled with such a radiant smile after observing the ritual?

Could it be that Rain had already mastered it?

Impossible!

She had only learned it after a month of studying under her mentor.

For Rain, the greatest gain from this was not just the increase in profession level or the new Aenius Avian Transformation Spell, but the newly acquired skill point.

It was crucial for him.

Once back in his room, Rain took out the Giant Beast Essence and eagerly added the skill point to Kadarr Fist Technique.

As the promotion succeeded, a notification sounded!

【Ding! Host detected to have achieved level 10 in three different Extraordinary Combat Techniques of weapon categories, triggering the promotion to Legendary Weapon Master!】

【Promotion to Legendary Weapon Master requires: 1. Level 10 or above in three different Extraordinary Combat Techniques of weapon categories; 2. 100% Tier 1 Limit Break; 3. Level 9 or above in any breathing technique; 4. Strength stat of 2. Current conditions met! Confirm promotion to Legendary Weapon Master?】

Upon seeing the promotion message, Rain clenched his fists in excitement and pumped his arms forward.

---

Several kilometers away from the fishing harbor, on a secluded island's shore, a rhythmic surge of light blue waves washed over the beach with a "whoosh!"

"Cough, cough."

A rugged man with a sinister face struggled to crawl ashore, a trace of blood still on his lips, seemingly having just emerged from an intense battle, injured.

"Pfft! Imperial Navy... I'll remember you, Goddess Church," Volod Niharou muttered.

"If it wasn't for the Water Clone scroll, I'd be dead for sure!"

In yesterday's battle, Volod had narrowly escaped death by using the Water Clone scroll to create a decoy and lure away the experts from the Imperial Navy and the Goddess of Wind and Sea Church.

As the commander of the Black Sails Pirate Fleet, Volod Niharu, possessed the strength of a Senior Knight and a Third Rank Wizard Apprentice.

He was skilled in wielding a single-handed heavy hammer and enjoyed smashing his enemies' heads during combat. Once, he had crushed the helmet of a Senior Knight with a single blow, earning him the fierce nickname 'Skull Crusher'!

"Water Healing!" Volod chanted, and a ball of white light appeared before him.

The next moment, with a 'bang!', the bright ball exploded, releasing a fine mist-like water vapor that enveloped his entire body.

The mist, like a refreshing rain, seemed to have excellent healing properties, quickly healing some of his external wounds.

"Ahhh..."

After the healing, Volod's pale face improved, and his furrowed brows relaxed.

For the past two years, he had been close to advancing to become a Water Controller, a type of Wizard specializing in water flow manipulation, through his dealings with the Sea God Sect.

Unfortunately, just before his promotion, disaster struck. The most crucial defensive level 1 water technique, 'Water Encompass', which he had obtained at a great cost from the Sea God Sect, was lost in battle before he could learn it.

Not only did his dream of promotion shatter, but his Black Sails Pirate Fleet, which he had built over the years, was almost completely annihilated.

This made Volod despise the Imperial Navy and the Goddess Church to the core!

"Where am I?" Volod wondered.

"It seems to be a nearby offshore island," he observed, noticing a gray line in the distant horizon, which he recognized as the continent line.

As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is also the safest.

He was near the coast, and the Sea God Sect's overseer in this area, Deepwater Lord Cassera, was fleeing further out to sea. The Imperial Navy and the Goddess Church would most likely mobilize their forces to pursue her.

Volod could take this opportunity to rest and recuperate on this small island for a few days. Once his strength recovered, he wouldn't have much to fear.

Volod quickly planned out his stay on the island.

Volod's figure gradually disappeared into the palm trees of the small island.
