Chapter 117 Cupid’s Power and Party Surprise
The War Hammer Breathing Technique, which has been upgraded to the fifth level, not only brings new supporting combat skills to Ricardo, but also gives a new combat skill special effect:
oscillating airflow.
The effect of this special effect is much more violent than the literal meaning.
Because among the supporting combat skills, Ricardo recognized that some combat skills were similar to the cloak hammering technique in previous movies and TV shows.
Combat skills with the cloak and hammer effect, combined with the special effects of oscillating airflow, you can imagine how much chaos it can cause on the battlefield.
All three breathing methods have been promoted to the fifth level, and the mental power is only a little short of 40 points.
Ricardo first asked the castle and clones to temporarily take care of the villains, and the clones were transferred to Fanhua Manor on standby. After the mental power has completely broken through to the threshold of the sixth-level top wizard apprentice in recent days, if there is a bonus, he will then maliciously extract and improve it. Sixth level breathing method.
As the carriage moved forward, Teresa rode beside it.
When Ricardo opened the car window, he felt that Theresa's aura seemed a little different from yesterday.
"Theresa, you seem...somewhat different?"
Ricardo thought of the secret medicine of the Demon Hunter's Breathing Technique that Lorient had brought over yesterday. Ricardo later handed the secret medicine to Theresa and asked her to practice it as soon as possible. stand up.
"Yes. Sir... I have... advanced to the first level of Demon Hunter Knight..."
Theresa seemed a little embarrassed, saying happily and a little embarrassed.
Compared with the knight talent reflected in this speed of promotion, her wizard qualifications are just...
"Promoted in one night?"
Ricardo was greatly surprised.
Although he relied on his golden fingers to ignore the difficulty of the Breathing Technique, the large amount of information he obtained during the upgrade also made him aware of the difficulty of advancing to become a Demon Hunter Knight.
His subordinates Ollie and O'Neill may have worked for the Demon Hunter Knight for many, many years before they could redeem this breathing method. But if they really want to practice it later, Ricardo doesn't think they can practice it in a few dozen days. level.
"Is there...the reason why you dreamed about Celia?" Ricardo didn't think Teresa's talent could be so high. The only thing he could think of that was related to rapid promotion was...the purple flower card.
"It seems so...I dreamed of Celia again at night, Celia with the little angel wings...Celia in the dream... seemed to say that she would give me my destiny, and then the little bow and arrow with love in her hand It just emitted white light..."
"Then when I practiced in the morning, I found that I was easily promoted..."
Theresa thought about it carefully and found that it was indeed Celia's problem in the dream as Ricardo said.
"Is it Celia's power?"
she asked.
Ricardo recalled Theresa's description of two dreams.
Celia looked like the idiot in the purple flower card in the dream, but like... Cupid?
Could it be that Celia had two cards? The power of the Cupid card is related to love. Does her love for her relatives also have such an effect?
Ricardo speculated in his mind.
"It should be. Keep this matter a secret. Celia's situation is too special. It cannot be spread outside."
Ricardo warned Teresa, then thought for a while and said.
"Actually, if you want to take the path of a wizard, you can use this power to improve your magic inscription. What are you going to engrave on your first magic inscription?" "...Mage's hand, or a transcription scroll...
"
Theresa replied.
"It's all good. The wizard apprentice is not like the path of a knight. You need to start with the first-level knight squire and the second-level apprentice knight. The first-level scroll apprentice of the wizard apprentice and the second-level sleight of hand magic apprentice are just comfort positions for people without talent. As long as you successfully engrave the first inscription and have enough knowledge, you will be the third-level junior wizard apprentice."
Ricardo thought for a while and felt that if he relied on the complete purple flower card, it could really help people quickly inscribe the inscription. ...The owner of the Purple Flower Card, the growth rate is just...invincible.
He only had half of the knight card. Although it was swallowed by the golden finger to form a flower language, it was enough to foresee the power of the complete purple flower card.
...
In a forest at the foot of the Panxue Mountains.
The knight commander under Viscount Frostwind was riding a horse, looking at the man in black standing on a big branch.
"Over the course of the day and night, the situation was different from what we expected." "
Although Wind Wolf Town blocked the news, we confirmed from multiple dimensions that it was indeed the Ice Lake Territory that relied on the strength of its own territory to form a team of knights. The regiment destroyed the Wind Wolf Territory, and... the Frostwind Iron Guard team…" "
…and according to the descriptions of our captured townspeople, there is an Ice Lake Territory with at least several senior knights and above, and there is also someone who is suspected of possessing enchanted armor. The knight team... Generally speaking, the Ice Lake Leader is very powerful, very powerful!"
the knight commander said solemnly.
"So, what do you want to say to me, the scout instructor of the Pansen County Thieves Guild? I'm just a scout. The Thieves Guild can't do anything. Haven't you seen that all the guilds in Shagang County have been banned..."
Hei The man in clothes made a sound of middle-aged vicissitudes.
"Yesterday, I asked your guild-affiliated brotherhood, the Night Crow Society, to arrange an assassination as soon as possible. But from what I have seen so far, the people sent by the Night Crow Society... may not be enough, although they even asked several people to be equipped with Panxue Mountain Tombs. The killer who unearthed the cursed item was dispatched, but..."
The knight commander obviously felt that something was wrong.
"Don't be too anxious. For these killers, as long as they are not real wizards, top wizard apprentices, or legendary knights of level seven or above. If the arrangement is right, in the worst case, it can still be easily accomplished with the great knight. Things. Aren't there many great knights who have been killed in their sleep... let alone a mid-level wizard apprentice..." "In addition
, among the elite killers dispatched by Night Crow this time, there is also the most outstanding illegitimate son of Lord Viscount, 'Morrowind' ."
The words of the man in black still did not make the knight commander feel at ease. The knight commander thought for a while and continued:
"After all, although you are injured, you are a real great knight. You should also join in this assassination. You are a member of the Thieves Guild. My men will follow me first. I will lead them to complete the investigation behind Wind Wolf Town for the time being." "
I am a scout of the Thieves Guild, not a killer of the Night Crow Guild!" "
You think I don't know the difference between a scout and a killer? Pansen County Nightcrows and Thieves Guild should also wear a pair of pants!"
"Okay, you have to pay more."
"...Okay."
"In addition, I will wait for an opportunity to act. Their party will last for at least a week, as early as today. Later..."
"As soon as possible! Cut the mess quickly!"
"Then...add more money!"
...
At the same time.
In the shadow of a forest outside Snow Deer Village, a conversation and transaction were also taking place.
"Idam, take me in, my friend who is also an illegitimate son. I beg you. Our fathers, Viscount Frostwind and Baron Snowwind, are as close as brothers, and we should be the same..."
"Morrowind! Don't think I don't know what you do. Isn't it because you are known as the most outstanding bastard...! You still use a code name, how could I invite someone with a code name! And you kept mocking me back then. Chase Teresa!"
"Idam, my matter this time is related to the members of the Ice Lake family that Teresa was assigned to. Believe me, this is good for you. Teresa is still very clean... As long as I Success, you still have a chance...Don't force me to interfere with you with mysterious items..."
After the two argued for a while, they finally calmed down.
…
dusk.
Panxue Forest Manor.
The Jinlu family who held the banquet extravagantly purchased a batch of gas lamps from the county and placed them in the hall of the main building next to the banquet lawn and in the corridor outside the hall, preparing to use them later.
On the lawn of the venue, the long table has been covered with white tablecloths and tableware, and the manor servants have put barbecue, roast goose, cheese, fruit, cakes and wine on it.
This family gathering may last for a week or even half a month. With such a streamlined arrangement, the expense is not small.
This also shows the grandeur or financial strength of the two branches of the Jinlu family in Pansen County.
On the stage on the lawn side, the musicians are starting to play melodious music.
The nobles of the two families and the invited guests dressed up and got off the carriages at the gate of the manor, or walked out of the manor's accommodation building and walked to the lawn or the banquet hall of the main building.
Ricardo also stepped out of the carriage and blended into the banquet group.
He has not seen such a scene for more than ten years.
Today is Thursday according to the modern calendar. He returned from the Wizarding Continent two weeks ago at dusk on Thursday, and now a full fourteen days have passed.
These two weeks and fourteen days have changed many things, making it much easier for Ricardo, who might have been bitter to attend the party.
He began to enjoy the atmosphere of family gatherings.
"Victor, you have grown so big. You must have just been born when I left..."
"Hello Aunt Mavian!"
"Oh... kids, I have some candies for you... don't worry... I have them all..." "
... "
Ricardo first walked among the relatives and friends of the Binghu family. These people lived in territorial knight manors, rural jazz villas, county manors, or worked as territorial officers and attendants for nobles such as the Jinlu family, or in county towns. Served in county offices, harbor patrol cavalry regiment and other agencies.
Many of the elders of the Binghu family looked at Ricardo with goodwill, or even a little awe and flattery.
Although the news of the annihilation of the Wind Wolf Territory was still under seal these days, Ricardo's annihilation of the bandit group was the direct cause of this gathering.
Moreover, the main road from Ice Lake Town to Panxue Forest Manor has been repaired, and the traffic is several times faster than before. This intuitive change, coupled with the identity of the wizard apprentice and the supporting military exploits, make people feel respected.
As for the Jinlu family, only a few family members who work or deal with the Ice Lake Territory have heard some rumors. Most of them only respect Ricardo out of awe of the wizard apprentice, and many people want to ask who Ricardo is.
"Lord Andrew is here! He went into the room and sat down to rest. He has just recovered from an illness and cannot stand for a long time."
Someone suddenly said.
Many people's eyes are on the hall. Lady Golden Deer cannot come today because she has something to do, and she has not invited other big families. The two "big" country lords present are Lord Binghu and Lord Golden Deer.
After being restless for a while, many people returned to their previous state.
Ricardo went around in a circle, greeted and had a conversation with many relatives and friends he was familiar with in his memory.
He came to the corner of the corridor and saw Lord Golden Deer not far away standing with Theresa in knight's uniform.
The father and daughter seemed to have some conflicts, and both of them were a little unhappy. Teresa even wanted to bow her head and leave in the end.
Ricardo walked over.
"Your Excellency!"
he greeted.
"Hello! Ricardo... Your Excellency the Sorcerer's Apprentice!"
Lord Golden Deer hesitated for a moment as to what title to use. He arranged for Teresa and Celia to come to Ricardo a month ago because of Andrew's serious illness and Ricardo's intermediate Sorcerer's Apprenticeship.
But in the past ten days, he learned that Ricardo was injured and had just witnessed Andrew recovering from a serious illness...
He had not yet had time to learn more about Ricardo's bandit suppression at the banquet and the destruction of the Wind Wolf Territory. During the blockade, except for the fact that Ricardo's suppression of bandits proved that he was quite capable of leadership and some surprises...
other aspects, for Lord Golden Deer, it was a disastrous investment failure... Celia even died on the road.
"I just saw that His Excellency Lord Andrew... has recovered from his illness?"
Lord Golden Deer seemed to still have some illusions about Ricardo inheriting the title of Lord Binghu. He asked Ricardo in a daze.
Although there are more than ten daughters in this generation of the Jinlu family, Teresa can be said to be the leader...
"Father!"
Teresa could feel her father's disappointment when she read the letter last time, and now she was even more disappointed. Understand what Lord Golden Deer is implying.
Knowing everything, she clearly understood that it was very inappropriate for her father to say this in front of Ricardo...it could even be said that his attitude was inappropriate.
Of course Ricardo could read the other person.
It is true that he will not inherit the lordship, and he has no engagement with Teresa...
but he can train Theresa as a wizard apprentice, and can control a much larger land than the lordship...and all this depends on his future possibilities In the face of the achieved status, it is just a scrap...
"Yes, my brother Andrew took the healing potion from the Wizarding Continent and recovered well."
He said calmly.
Lord Jinlu felt disappointed when he heard this. He said "oh" and the feeling of despair on his face became even stronger.
"Lord Ricardo!"
At this moment, a timid female voice sounded.
Ricardo turned his head and saw Ollie, who was wearing a demon hunter knight's uniform, just got off the carriage and was walking this way.
As Ricardo's subordinate in the Demon Hunter Knight, Ollie is considered one of his own.
Ricardo had many official and private matters mixed together, and since he already had the status of a lord, some of the demon-hunting knights were destined to serve his family a lot in the future.
For this reason, Ricardo also invited Ollie to this party to let her get familiar with her family members first.
"This is...?"
Lord Golden Deer asked Theresa.
"Sir Ricardo is now an imperial lieutenant colonel and the vice-captain of the demon hunting knights. This Ms. Ollie is in charge of some of the demon hunting knights for Mr. Ricardo..." Teresa explained to her father in a low voice. She used
very strict words, but It is also hinted that Ricardo can control some of the demon hunting knights.
Demon hunter knight? !
There are also a small number of demon hunting knights in Pansen County, and Lord Golden Deer naturally understands what they are.
He also understood what it meant to be able to control some of the Demon Hunter Knights. Imperial public power required the power of lords to help manage the country. In turn, lords could also use their participation in imperial public power to devour the power of public power and turn it into their own use.
Ricardo already has a status in the official extraordinary organization and has extraordinary cavalry strength...
He is already considered a prominent figure in Sarport County... Theresa... This is okay...
After Lord Golden Deer heard this, he was originally at a low ebb. My mood suddenly improved a lot.
"Lord Golden Deer!"
Ollie saluted respectfully to Ricardo and Lord Golden Deer.
