Chapter 559 Promotion in Progress

On the way to the prison, the group eliminated no less than a hundred goblin combat mechanical vehicles.

Soon, Ryan and his group arrived at the prison gate.

The scene before him made Ryan slightly stunned.

I saw a wide crack several dozen meters long in the middle of the prison corridor, revealing irregular metal cracks several meters thick. Even for a floating city, the crack was too large to close on its own.

Of course, if this floating city was in its prime, this scene would definitely be quickly repaired by the goblin technicians.

Due to the existence of this huge crack, the prison here was almost completely destroyed by the goblin machines. The broken or bent metal fences were the best proof of this.

"Your Majesty, it seems that your judgment is correct. The King of Mechanical Tyrannosaurus should have come up from here."

"Then shall we go down?" said the Sword Master Tirion.

"Well, but I didn't explore the negative third floor last time. You must be highly vigilant, including the impact of the whisper, which is expected to become even stronger." Ryan reminded.

After reaching the peak of Dawn, Ryan could feel something deeper this time.

That is, the entire floating city seems to have a faint sense of oppression, as if it is in a huge cage, but this oppression does not seem to be directed at living beings, but at evil spirits.

"Wait, Your Majesty Ryan, how about letting me investigate first?" At this time, Oger, the Dawn Wizard, one of the 'Twin Flame Spirits', said.

"Oh?"

"I have a spell called 'Eye of Flame' that can detect situations far away."

"That's good." Ryan nodded with a smile.

As Oger began to chant and cast spells, an eyeball the size of a human head emitting wisps of flames appeared in front of everyone. The middle of the flaming eyeball was empty, and there was a cluster of more agile and delicate flames in it, like a pupil.

Ryan noticed that the Eye of Flame seemed to have some of the same charm as Oger's eyes.

From this perspective, the opponent's witchcraft is quite similar to his "Eyes of the Beast".

At this time, the Eye of Flame quickly moved towards the crack along the ground, and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.

"There is a military camp right below. There are no particularly powerful mechanical objects there." After a while, Oger, with his eyes closed, spoke.

"It's safe within a hundred meters."

Is that a military camp right below?
Ryan suddenly understood something.

Before, it was probably because he had fought in the prison on the second floor below the military camp and eliminated some evil spirits, which led to General Anrique, no, to be more precise, it was because some of the evil spirits sensed something.

This made the Mechanical Tyrannosaurus King break through the ground of the second underground floor and rush up.

"Hey, weird, my flaming eyes disappeared."

Suddenly, Og opened his eyes and said in surprise.

"Disappeared? But can't your Eye of Flame detect an area of ​​several kilometers in radius? How come it disappeared in less than two hundred meters?" Otto also found it a little unbelievable.

As a brother, Otto naturally knew the scope and effect of Oger's "Eye of Flame".

"Well, it seems to have been affected by something and disappeared." Oger pondered for a while, as if recalling the feeling just now, and said.

"Wait, let me try again."

Two minutes later.

"I'm sure there must be some kind of influence down there." Oger said with a serious face.

"Are we still going down?"

Hearing this question, everyone's eyes unconsciously turned to Ryan.

"Hold on!"

The next moment, Ryan's figure disappeared out of thin air, and reappeared in less than a second.

It turned out that he had just performed a "Shadow Shuttle", and although it was successful, the mental energy consumption was several times that of before.

"The mental energy consumption has increased a lot, and there really is some kind of limit." Ryan thought to himself.

This scene shocked everyone immediately, but then they felt inexplicably relieved, as if this feeling of having someone to rely on was very good.

"It's not a big problem. There are some restrictions here, so the effects of some witchcraft may be affected." Ryan explained.

"So that's how it is." Everyone nodded.

After everyone went down, they immediately felt the changes.

"The whispers have a much greater impact."

Ryan immediately felt the difference between the negative third floor and the negative second floor.

Although he could still resist normally, Hiram, a high-level wizard who had just entered the Dawn level, was frowning at this moment. He quickly picked up the concentration potion and drank it quickly.

The effect of the concentration potion is much stronger than that of the concentration amulet. It can protect one from the influence of this abnormal whisper for a certain period of time.

"Although the whispers at the minus three level cannot distort the will of a Dawn Wizard, they have already begun to affect the Dawn Wizard's spells to a certain extent."

"Besides, the fog here is even thicker."

"There should be some clues in the military camp. Let's look for it." Ryan looked around and said.

Surrounding it are rooms extending from the metal walls, which look like square cave dwellings, quite regular.

"it is good!"

A few minutes later, Hiram came out of a room, holding up a yellowed diary with a slightly happy look on his face and said:
"Everyone, I found a diary. It should be the diary of General Enrique just now."

"Huh? It can actually be preserved?" Sword Master Tirion raised his eyebrows, obviously surprised.

"Yes, these barracks have a magic array with constant temperature and humidity, so they have been preserved by chance. But even so, some of the words are probably blurred." Ryan said on the side.

He had seen some drawings on the workbench on the second floor below ground before, but they basically broke into pieces if touched.

"Your Majesty Hiram, what's written in the diary?" At this time, Otto walked over with interest and asked.

"Wait a moment, I'll translate for you."

As the others gathered around, Hiram, who was most proficient in the ancient goblin language, immediately whispered:
".I always feel that there is something wrong with the remains of the god that the great sage Tamriel brought to His Majesty the Emperor. However, after more than a dozen scholars observed it, they confirmed that it was undoubtedly the remains of a primitive god from the Earth Spirit period."

"The Earth Spirit Period?" Ryan asked puzzledly.

"Well, this is an era even older than the ancient Goblin Empire tens of thousands of years ago. Since almost nothing has been preserved, it is completely untraceable," Hiram explained.

Ren nodded.

From the timeline point of view, the ancient goblin period is nearly 20,000 years earlier than the murals previously discovered in the Cyrodiil Plateau, not to mention the earth elemental period.

And Hiram continued:
".Sure enough, His Majesty Thorson has not attended the court meeting for several days. It is said that he is immersed in studying the remains of the gods with the great sage Tamriel. Even Princess Amora cannot persuade him to leave."

"More than half a month has passed, and things are getting increasingly wrong. Princess Amora, your Majesty's most beloved, has been ordered to be imprisoned!"

"I sneaked into the palace and finally met His Majesty. He seemed to have lost his mind. The Great Sage Tamriel was the same."

".There is definitely something wrong with the so-called remains of the gods. No, I have to rescue Princess Amora. Only she can control the artifact and save His Majesty!" "This..." Hearing this, everyone looked at each other in surprise.

Judging from the results, General Enrique seemed to have failed to rescue the princess.

Of course, it is also possible that the princess was rescued, but she was still no match for the evil demon.

At this moment, Ryan suddenly thought of something and asked, "Your Majesty Hiram, what is the strength of the Goblin Great Sage?"

"Your Majesty Ryan, according to the information I found in other ruins, the Great Goblin Sage should be a demigod-level powerhouse at the level of a Full Moon Wizard. As for whether he is in the middle or late stage, I don't know." Hiram replied quickly.

As the Federation's leading metal wizard, he is quite familiar with some information and situations about the ancient goblins.

In addition, before this exploration, Hiram had already collected relevant information.

After hearing this answer, everyone at the scene started whispering!
Ryan also had a serious expression.

"If even a demigod-level warrior of the Full Moon Wizard level can be infected, then the terrifying degree of the evil demon below is beyond my expectations."

'The next negative fourth floor may be extremely dangerous.'

'It's time to be promoted on the negative third floor.'

At this time, the other people stepped forward hand in hand and said:
"Your Majesty Ren, Your Majesty Tirion, can we go back first?"

“The current situation has exceeded my worst-case scenario expectations.”

"If it's true as written in the diary, even if all of us are put together, we will never be a match for the evil demons below."

As the person in charge of the Federation, Swordmaster Tirion did not rush to make a decision at this moment, but asked Ryan's opinion again:

"Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

"I want to stay on the negative third floor and explore it further. As for you all, you can go back first." Ryan thought for a moment and said.

"Well, Your Majesty Ryan, let's stay and accompany you." To Ryan's surprise, Otto, one of the 'Twin Flame Spirits', took the initiative to speak.

As Otto spoke, the others nodded one after another, surprisingly showing an expression of agreement.

this.
Ryan was a little confused for a moment.

It seems that he gave everyone too much confidence.

Even he himself did not have the confidence that he could withstand the stronger evil spirits below, but others believed that he could do it.

"Everyone, if I were alone, it would be easier for me to leave even if I were defeated. But if..." Ryan stopped talking here.

"Listen to His Majesty Ryan." Sword Saint Tirion naturally understood what Ryan meant and spoke.

"Okay, Your Majesty Ryan, please be careful." Everyone warned.

"Thank you."

Watching everyone return to the upper level, Ryan's eyes moved slightly.

Next, if he is promoted normally, it is likely to immediately attract the incarnations of evil gods to come. On the other hand, it is also likely to alarm the evil demons below.

In other words, there is a high possibility of a melee at that time.

In this situation, not only would Tirion and his men not be able to provide much help here, but they might even be in danger of all perishing.

Instead of doing this, it would be better to let them defend above so that they can retreat quickly if he is defeated.

"Metes, Doric, you also go back to the upper floor." After thinking for a while, Ryan said in a deep voice.

"Yes, Master."

Ryan placed the two dragons at the crack of the prison, which was a perfect position for attack or defense.

After everything was arranged, Ryan focused his mind on the advanced meditation method of 'Heart of Steel'.

As of now, his progress in outlining the fifth level has advanced to 510 will runes, and he is only two away from 512.

These two were naturally made intentionally by Ryan.

With a calm and focused mind, Ryan began the final outline.

The first one.
Number five hundred and eleven.
The five hundred and twelfth piece!
At this moment, a strange feeling appeared in his heart, and in his spiritual sea, the complex four-layer crystals that seemed to be wrapped in spherical amber began to change.

The annular base at the bottom of the four-layer crystal began to widen and thicken again at this moment, to a much greater extent than before.

The spiritual power that had been materialized into spherical amber suddenly cracked into lines, just like a star about to explode, with cracks all over the surface.

The system prompts also appear like a screen refresh:
[You have practiced the fifth level of the Iron Heart Advanced Meditation Method, and your understanding of the relevant knowledge has improved! ]

[Your skill Iron Heart Advanced Meditation is upgraded, experience value +20]

[Ding! The host's qualitative progress is 100%, and the promotion begins. The transformation continues.]

[Ding! The host lacks the fifth-level full moon sorcery. You can choose to deduce the Dawn's killer move "Iron Forest" or "Blade Tooth Spinning Disc" as the fifth-level full moon sorcery. Yes/No? ]

[Note: To perform the metal-type Chenxi killer move 'Steel Forest', 784 gold skill points are required.]

[Note: To perform the Metal-type Dawn Killer Move 'Blade-toothed Spinning Disc', 912 gold skill points are required.]

Spend 312 gold skill points to perfect it?
"It is exactly as recorded."

"Level 5 innate witchcraft, according to ancient books, in addition to the conventional use of existing Level 5 witchcraft, many Full Moon wizards deduce the Dawn Killing Moves they have mastered."

This is also the reason why Ryan is not worried about not having the fifth-level metal witchcraft.

In fact, it's not that Ryan hadn't looked for the fifth-level metal witchcraft, but neither the Dragun Empire nor the Eagle Federation had any relevant records.

In other words, he actually had no choice but to deduce on his own.

As for choice.

In fact, the system has already given a hidden answer.

The gold skills required for 'Bladetooth Disc' are much more than those for 'Iron Forest'. In other words, in terms of power, the fifth-level witchcraft derived from 'Bladetooth Disc' must be superior.

So, without any hesitation, Ryan immediately chose the "Blade-toothed Disc".

As Ryan chose "yes", a surge of memories of witchcraft training poured into Ryan's mind.
"First-level metal magic 'Metal Transfiguration'."

"Second-level metal magic 'Cutting Net'."

"Level 3 metal magic 'Sawtooth Ring'."

"Level 4 metal magic 'Blade Disc'."

The original Dawn's killer move, 'Blade-toothed Disc', was transformed into the four most basic witchcrafts.

At this moment, all kinds of thoughts were tumbling, combining, and surging in Ryan's mind. After an unknown amount of time, a system prompt sounded:
[Ding! Deduction successful! The host comprehended the fifth-level metal magic "High Frequency Cutting"! ]
