Chapter 84 Fusion
  "Master Priest, it will probably take about a month." The answer came from a slender figure wearing knight armor standing in the center of the underground hall.

Why do you say slender?

That's because the opponent is over two meters tall, but his limbs are very 'slender' even when wrapped in armor.

Others feel that his legs are like the slender thighs of a grasshopper. Although they are slender, they are very elastic.

In addition, the weapon he carried on his back was also very strange. It was a saw-tooth scimitar weapon about two meters long like a sickle.

However, it was obvious that he was not the person with the highest status in the underground hall, because he was facing the person called the priest sitting in the shadows, bowing slightly to report.

"It's too late. I feel that the Lord's will is gradually recovering. The Black Flame Prayer Ceremony needs to be held as soon as possible!"

"Half a month, hold the ceremony within half a month to cooperate with the Lord's further resurrection!"

"This. I obey, Lord Sacrifice. However, if we further intensify the efforts to obtain 'materials', it will inevitably cause some commotion and further attention from the imperial officials."

"Haha, those greedy nobles, it's time for them to play their role." There was a hint of teasing in the priest's low tone.

"Master Priest, when it comes to those nobles, I seem to be a little unable to hold myself back."

The black shadow waved his hand and said: "You can bring twelve more bottles of 'divine blood' to comfort them. It would be best to get these nobles to cooperate with you."

"If they are looking for excuses to shirk the blame, then at least let them turn a blind eye."

"Let the gangs below tighten their grip in the past few days, and at the same time, increase the bounty."

"Finally, be prepared. If it's too late, just hold a blood sacrifice!"

"Blood sacrifice, Lord Sacrifice, there was a lot of commotion in the town of Monem last time. It is said that the 'Sword Bearer' is very concerned about this matter."

The priest waved his withered right hand and said, "I have sensed the Lord's response to my prayer."

"Go and contact Alonso. As a noble who is most eager to participate in the Black Flame Ceremony and obtain the Lord's blessing, something needs to be done."

"As you command, Master Priest!"

"By the way, have you sent anyone to investigate how the Hyena Gang was destroyed?"

"Did the Empire's 'Sword Bearer' do it?" When the word 'Sword Bearer' was mentioned, the officiant's voice became obviously more solemn.

"No, according to our on-site inspection, most of the members of the Hyena Gang who died died of poison. This method does not seem to be the work of a 'sword wielder'."

"In addition, there are dozens of 'materials' in the Hyena Gang's stronghold in the county. If they are 'sword-wielders', the other party will definitely not end it so hastily. They must have a comprehensive plan before taking action, and they will definitely rescue these people. people."

"It should be a vendetta or an accident. Maybe the Hyena Gang offended a wandering knight or a certain noble."

"It's just that the traces of the wound are strange. It doesn't look like a wound caused by a dagger or a dagger, but rather like a wound caused by a large sword or an axe."

The black shadow nodded and said: "It doesn't matter. Weapons naturally vary from person to person. Just not a 'sword wielder'!"

"Speed ​​up, otherwise when the empire reacts, we may never have such a good opportunity again!"

"As you command, Lord Sacrifice, I will go and do it now."

The slender figure gave a slight greeting, then turned and left the underground hall.

At this moment, only the officiant was left in the hall.

At this time, through the faint light of the wall lamp in the distance, we could vaguely see that his body shrouded in black robe was obviously abnormally bloated, which was in sharp contrast with his withered arms.

In the afternoon of that day, Renn began to seriously practice the imperial swordsmanship.

Naturally, we can no longer visit the woodland near our home.

But fortunately, military swordsmanship uses one-handed swords, which means that Renn only needs a small area to practice. Ren thought for a moment, asked Anna for the key, and then went to Anna's house alone with the half-hand sword issued by the night watchman.

After he moved the tables and chairs slightly, it became a good indoor practice venue.

Since Renn has basic swordsmanship level 4 (578/1000), he can get started with military swordsmanship faster than he expected.

Not long after, the system prompt appeared:
  [You have practiced imperial military swordsmanship, and your relevant understanding has improved! 】

[You have learned a new skill—Imperial Military Swordsmanship]

[Your skill Imperial Military Swordsmanship is improved, experience value +1]

[It is detected that the host is practicing basic swordsmanship that is also a one-handed swordsmanship. Is it integrated into the imperial military swordsmanship? This fusion requires 0 skill points. 】

(Note: After fusion, basic sword skills will not be displayed in the panel, but the host can still use related sword skills.)
  (Note: After the fusion, the imperial military swordsmanship will absorb the advantages of the basic swordsmanship and improve it, and the host’s experience value in the basic swordsmanship will be converted into the experience value of the improved imperial military swordsmanship according to a certain proportion.)
  The first three prompts did not change much, but the fourth completely different system prompt content clearly caught Ren's attention.

"They are all one-handed sword skills, so they can be fused?"

"No wonder I didn't get this prompt when I practiced the two-handed sword skill 'Giant Bear Sword Skill' before."

"Also, fusion should have consumed skill points. Is it because the basic swordsmanship and the imperial military swordsmanship are related in some way, or is the basic swordsmanship too basic? That's why it shows that it consumes 0 points?"

A series of questions naturally popped up in Ren's mind.

Obviously, if it costs skill points, there is a high probability that Renn will not choose fusion at present.

Because the current 1 skill point, whether used in Breathing Technique or Giant Bear Sword Technique, can bring substantial improvement to Renn.

Of course, if the consumption this time was 0, Renn thought for a moment and chose yes.

随即，守夜人面板上的基础剑术lv4（578/1000）倏得消失不见，转而显示的是帝国军用剑术lv2（128/300）。

More than half of the basic swordsmanship at level 4 can only be converted into less than half of the level 2 swordsmanship used by the imperial military.

But this already made Renn look happy, because it saved him at least ten days and a half of hard work.

Almost at the same time, some scattered memories of practicing imperial military swordsmanship flashed through Renn's mind and gradually integrated into Renn's muscle memory.

After a while, Ren was keenly aware that the imperial military swordsmanship he used was slightly different from the imperial military swordsmanship on the parchment. The angle of the sword was more tricky and the power seemed to be greater.

This should be the reason why the system prompt said that after integration, the imperial military swordsmanship absorbed the advantages of basic swordsmanship and improved it.

However, it is probably because the basic swordsmanship is too basic, so this improvement is very small.

If it weren't for Ren's extremely keen perception, he really wouldn't have been able to detect it.

At this time, a mint-like voice came from the door: "Brother, Uncle Willen is here to find you."

When Ren heard this, he immediately stopped practicing swordsmanship with the Imperial Army, opened the door and walked out.

The middle-aged man in black leather armor in front of him was none other than Willen, the captain of the night watchman whom Ren was familiar with.

After Mint saw Ren coming out, he smiled sweetly at Willen and jumped back to dig in the small yard with Anna. Together with the 'Cookie' that popped out from time to time, the two of them and one dog , very warm atmosphere.

"Ren, why are you at Anna's house?" Willen glanced at the room behind the door curiously.

"Haha, Captain Willen, is something wrong?"

Willen looked at Renn deeply and said, "Renn, I want to tell you some good news!"
