Chapter 340 News from the Frosty Tundra (Two chapters in one)

"My Lord, you are really a rare tailoring genius. If you want to be one, you must be a tailor." Julis was amazed at Ryan's rocket-like learning speed.

But soon, Julis realized that the person in front of her was a noble, the Viscount, not an apprentice in her tailor shop. It was quite inappropriate to praise him as a tailoring genius.

So, Julis quickly changed her words:

"No, no, my Lord, I mean that no matter what skill you learn, you learn it very quickly."

Ryan waved his hand and didn't care.

"Julis, I have a problem now, that is, the pants are not elastic enough, how to solve it."

"The waistband can be solved with cow tendons, but the fabric doesn't seem to have that kind of elastic fabric."

"Because if the body swells, it will tear."

As soon as Ryan finished speaking, the whole study was silent!

Swell? !

Will tear?

My Lord, is it really okay for you to talk to me about this?

Besides, this is too much self-praise.

I have never heard of anyone who can tear underwear.

Ryan's words were so fierce that Yulis, a woman with experience in that area, felt a little overwhelmed at the moment, and her fair face immediately flushed.

Jennifer, a beautiful woman beside him, was also stunned at the moment, and her beautiful eyes were even more ripples, looking back and forth at Yulis and Ryan.

Hmm?

My dear's words are too provocative, right?

The other party is about the same age as me, but her skin is not as good as mine, and her face is more dignified, which is different from my style. Could it be that my dear really likes the other party?

Wait, it should be the other party's professional attributes that make my dear more interested!

The beautiful woman's eyes lit up immediately.

She thought she thought of the key.

After all, this kind of fetish is actually quite common in the upper class.

Not to mention the nobles, even among the wealthy businessmen, you can often hear these gossips.

For example, a certain wealthy businessman likes to have fun with maids, or some nobles are particularly interested in female teachers, and last time she heard that a certain viscount who was only 1.6 meters tall liked to find women over 1.8 meters tall, and so on.

Jennifer thought of a lot of things at once.

Seeing the expressions of the two mature women, Ryan immediately came to his senses. His words just now seemed a bit ambiguous, but he couldn't reveal his dragon man transformation.

After thinking for a while, Ryan said, "Well, this is it. When I fight, my muscles will swell, so I need underwear with better elasticity."

"I see." Julis nodded, although she still didn't believe it in her heart.

After all, as a master tailor, she was not at the bottom of society, and she had never heard of a great knight tearing his underwear during a battle.

"Uh, Viscount, how much does it swell to? This is related to the choice of material." Julis took a deep breath before she had the nerve to ask this question.

"At least twice?" Ryan thought for a while and said.

"Twice? Hmm. If it's from the perspective of elasticity, silk has the best elasticity among all kinds of fabrics."

"However, relying solely on the elasticity of silk may still not meet your requirements." After being shocked, Julis thought for a while and said.

"Is there no solution? No other materials?"

"Well, some animal skins have good elasticity, but for underwear, comfort should still be considered."

Animal skin?

Ryan thought about it and decided to forget it. It

was too uncomfortable.

And leather shorts easily reminded him of male dancers, which was too trendy.

"By the way, if you don't mind comparing the style to other styles, I have another suggestion, which is to make the underwear into pleats to avoid tearing, just like a pleated skirt."

Julis saw Ryan frowning and came up with another idea.

"Add pleats?" Ryan quickly understood what Julis meant.

The waistband of the underwear is made of elastic material such as tendon, and the fabric of the underwear cannot meet this elasticity requirement even if it is silk, so the only way is to add pleats.

Once the body expands, the underwear can make up for the lack of elasticity by flattening the pleats.

Although the 'pleated underwear' seems a bit weird, it is better than exposing yourself after the transformation!

Moreover, it also takes comfort into consideration.

"Julis, good idea."

Ryan's eyes lit up, and he immediately turned to the beautiful woman and said, "Jennifer, have someone prepare some beef tendons immediately, I'll try it."

"Ah? Oh, okay, Your Excellency the Viscount." Jennifer came back to her senses when she heard Ryan talking to her. In addition, she still abided by the title of Ryan in front of outsiders.

Jennifer left the study to prepare beef tendons, but Ryan did not rest, and began to carry out the previous process, proofing.

"My Lord Viscount, you... you dug a hole in your underwear, this is..."

Julis looked surprised, thinking, My Lord Viscount, you just praised your big thing, but in order to avoid tearing the underwear, isn't it a bit exaggerated to dig a hole specifically?

"Haha, this has a special purpose."

This time Julis really couldn't resist it, especially at this time, Jennifer went out to arrange for people to prepare beef tendons.

Although she was an experienced person, she couldn't stand such teasing!

Yulis, the master tailor, had a red face at this moment.

However, Yulis observed the location of the hole that Ryan dug again, thinking, I know it has a special purpose, and this hole is too big, right?

Hey, why is this direction at the back?

"That. Viscount, did you draw the location of this hole the wrong way?" Yulis couldn't help but remind him.

"No, it's like this." Ryan shook his head naturally.

The tail is naturally behind the buttocks.

If it grows in front, is it still a tail? !

Suddenly, Yulis froze! Her eyes were blank.

Soon, a bunch of beef tendons were sent in.

Since Ryan had already started the preparation work, he soon completed the production of the first pair of beef tendon shorts.

And the system prompt also sounded:

[You have made beef tendon wrinkled silk shorts, and the relevant comprehension has been improved! ]

[You have comprehended a new skill - making beef tendon wrinkled silk shorts]

[Your skill in making beef tendon wrinkled silk shorts has been improved, and the experience value is +5]

[Ding! It is detected that the host has innovated a tailoring product, triggering the job change - tailor! 】

【The prerequisites for promotion to tailor are: 1. Tailor apprentice lv3 full level; 2. Agility 5 points or more, Constitution 5 points or more; 3. Produce 10 pieces of any qualified tailor products! The current conditions are not met! Promotion to tailor failed! 】

"Huh? Experience value +5?"

"The subsequent promotion conditions are also triggered?"

"Innovation is indeed the primary productive force."

Ryan couldn't help but be overjoyed!

So, next, Ryan made ten pairs of cow tendon pleated shorts in succession, and the whole process changed from the original stumbling to smooth.

Julis was almost dumbfounded.

She felt vaguely that the young and handsome Viscount Ryan in front of her was not here to tease her, but was really learning to make underwear.

"My Lord Viscount, do you need to learn how to make clothes for other parts?" Julis couldn't help asking.

"No, by the way, let's stop here for today's tailoring training. Thank you for your hard work, Julis."

"Jennifer, send Julis off. I will practice making shorts for the next few days and learn other things later." Ryan said to Jennifer.

"Okay, Viscount."

After the two left, it took Ryan only half a day to upgrade the tailor apprentice from lv1 to lv3 (127/500), gaining two attribute points and two skill points.

The seventy or eighty cow tendon pleated silk shorts piled up next to him were the fruits of Ryan's labor.

Adding his original remaining points, the total remaining attribute points are now 7 points, the remaining skill points are 6 points, and the gold skill points are still 23 points.

Just when Ryan was about to rush the tailor apprentice to the maximum level of lv3 in one go, there was a knock on the door.

"Knock knock knock!"

"Viscount, there is a visitor from Meist County, Viscount Hamadi, at the door of the mansion." The servant at the door said.

"Viscount Hamadi? Eh? Why did he suddenly come to visit?" Ryan looked puzzled.

Although the other party was the boss of his former boss, he always felt that there seemed to be something wrong with the other party, so he never had any in-depth exchanges.

"Please ask him to come to the reception room, I will come right away." After thinking about it, Ryan decided to meet him and listen to the other party's purpose.

In the reception room.

"Sir Ryan, long time no see." Hamadi said with a smile.

"Sir Hamadi, long time no see." Ryan smiled and used the title he used in Meister, which was quite polite.

"No, Sir Ryan, with your current fame, I should call you Sir."

"I am sorry to bother you this time, but I was asked by someone." Hamadi laughed and put a dark brown wooden box on the coffee table. After opening it with a "click", he turned the wooden box to Ryan.

Hmm?

There were complex array patterns engraved in the wooden box. There were three hexagonal crystals emitting energy fluctuations neatly placed in the box. In addition, under the crystals, there was a letter.

Ryan looked at the three crystals in the wooden box with surprise.

Although he didn't know what it was.

But from the box and the items inside, it seemed very precious.

Moreover, this fluctuation could vaguely evoke some kind of connection with spiritual power, as if this was...

Hamadi looked around, as if to confirm that there were only him and Ryan in the reception room, and then said with a smile:

"This is from the Special Envoy Terena, who asked me to send it to Mr. Ryan."

"Special Envoy Terena?" Ryan raised his eyebrows.

In an instant, he understood a lot of things. It turned out that Viscount Hamadi had always been a member of the Federation. He might be an insider or a noble who was won over.

No wonder, when he was in Meister, he always felt that the other party was a little bit wrong.

Originally, he once thought that the other party was a member of the resistance army, but it turned out that he was a member of the Federation.

However, Ryan did not understand the other party's intention, so he naturally could not accept the gift. He just waved his hand and said, "This... is too valuable. I can't accept it."

"Sir Ryan, you might as well take a look at the handwritten letter from Special Envoy Terena first."

After thinking about it, Ryan nodded and said, "Okay."

Then, Ryan took out the letter from the wooden box.

The red wax on the letter was intact. In addition, Ryan could feel a faint witchcraft fluctuation in the envelope.

"Sir Ryan, for the sake of confidentiality, the letter will burn after reading."

Hamadi, who was standing by, saw Ryan suddenly stop and immediately understood what was going on. At the same time, he also appreciated Ryan's caution and sharpness.

"I see."

Ryan nodded and opened the letter.

The content is as follows:

"Dear Sir Ryan: Your strength and talent are among the few young people I have ever seen. The Eagle Federation welcomes you to settle here."

"If you are interested, I can guarantee that you will receive treatment and development prospects far beyond your current status in the Dragun Empire. At the same time, we will arrange for someone to secretly transfer your family to the Federation."

"Of course, if you don't have this intention for the time being, we also hope to maintain a good friendship and contact with you."

"In recent years, the Federation has developed rapidly and has far exceeded the imagination of many people in the Dragun Empire. For example, the Federation has achieved a production of soul energy crystals that is several times higher than before. I look forward to your joining the Federation as soon as possible."

"If you have any questions, you can contact and ask Hamadi."

"Here, I would like to present three soul energy crystals as a gift, Trena Hayden."

After a few seconds, the letter slowly burned with a light blue flame and quickly turned into ashes.

"Sir Ryan, I have delivered the gift from the special envoy. I look forward to your contact. I think I should say goodbye." Hamadi stood up with a smile on his face and said.

"Okay, Viscount Hamadi, I'll take you there."

After Hamadi left, Ryan paced back and forth in the room, thinking about the other party's purpose this time.

"No wonder the Federation has developed so rapidly, and its infiltration into the Empire is very strong. Moreover, in order to attract talents, it has spared no effort."

After seeing the four words "Soul Energy Crystal" in the letter, Ryan knew what these three hexagonal crystals were.

Generally speaking, those potions or items that can increase mental power are already very precious.

The preciousness of Soul Energy Crystal is even higher, because its function is to promote the speed of atomization and liquefaction of mental power.

Ryan had asked Olena before, but unfortunately there was no quota for Soul Energy Crystal in the branch.

Of course, the headquarters in the imperial capital naturally has some, but they are also extremely precious.

In other words, if Ryan wants to exchange, he has to transfer to the Sword Bearer Headquarters.

"What's even more amazing is that sentence - 'The output of soul energy crystals is several times higher than before', which not only reveals the strength of the Federation, but also is a great temptation."

"If it weren't for my extremely fast atomization speed, I'm afraid it would be hard not to be tempted."

Ryan walked to the wooden box and picked up a soul energy crystal to look at it.

"Soul energy crystal, good stuff."

This is why Ryan did not refuse the other party's gift. At this stage, soul energy crystals are indeed very useful for improving his strength.

Ryan glanced at the attribute panel:

Spirit: 62 (atomization 6%)

Mental power increased from 60 to 62, one of which is the previous addition, and another point is the improvement effect from the advanced meditation method in the past few days.

The degree of atomization has also increased by 1 percentage point.

After repeatedly checking the soul energy crystal again and confirming that there is no problem, Ryan immediately decided to use a soul energy crystal to see the effect.

This thing is also very simple to use, just hold it in your hand and run the meditation method.

A few minutes later,

as Ryan started to use the Iron Heart Advanced Meditation Method, the soul energy crystal in his hand seemed to be resonated in some way, and a wisp of transparent breath emanated from it and quickly merged into Ryan's body.

Ryan felt that in the sea of ​​​​spirituality, the huge spiritual power was being slowly purified, and the silver mist became more and more.

At this time, the system prompt sounded:

[Ding! Soul energy crystals that can improve the degree of spiritual power atomization have been detected. Is it accelerated to absorb? (Note: The system can remove impurities when absorbing, and can absorb all at once.)]

"Huh? Remove impurities?"

"Can it be absorbed all at once?"

Ryan raised his eyebrows and thought to himself.

He just tried it. If he meditated for about half an hour every day for such a thumb-sized soul energy crystal, he would basically need more than half a month to absorb it.

The system can absorb it instantly, which is naturally a good thing.

"Besides, if the impurities can be removed, doesn't it mean that I can use it continuously?!"

Normally, although soul energy crystals are good, wizards use them for a period of time. When the impurities absorbed by the body reach a certain concentration, they need to stop for a period of time.

Only after the body eliminates the impurities in the soul energy crystals can it be used again, and it is impossible to use it continuously.

Judging from the system prompt, Ryan should be able to absorb it continuously.

Without hesitation, Ryan immediately chose "Yes!"

In an instant, Ryan felt that the silver mist in his mind was rapidly increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon it reached nearly twice the size of before.

This feeling is indescribably good.

The mental power is more refined. Compared with before, the same amount of mental power can mobilize more energy particles around.

Ryan glanced at the system panel:

Spirit: 62 (atomization 11%)

"Hiss~ 5% increase in one time? No wonder it is so precious!"

"The mental value is no longer decreasing. It seems that the previous impurities should be almost removed."

Seeing such a good effect, Ryan thought about it and used up the other two soul energy crystals in the wooden box.

Finally, the spirit value on the attribute panel is displayed as: 62 (atomization 20%).

According to the calculation that for every point of atomization, the power of witchcraft increases by 0.5 points, the power of witchcraft currently cast by Ryan is about 10% higher than when he just changed his job to a wizard.

Don't underestimate this 10%. Many times, the improvement of strength is achieved through such a small step-by-step accumulation.

Obviously, when the atomization degree reaches 90%, the increase in the power of witchcraft is very considerable, increasing by about 50%.

As for why it can't reach 100%? Generally speaking

, when the atomization degree of first-level wizards reaches more than 90%, they can choose to break through to the second-level liquefied wizard.

Because the difficulty of mental power atomization is not linear, that is, the later it is, the more difficult it is.

This can be seen from the increase in the soul energy crystal just now, because it stands to reason that if each soul energy crystal increases by 5%, Ryan's current atomization degree should be 21%, but now it is only 20%.

This shows that the degree of atomization is not linear, and it will become more and more difficult in the later stages.

After testing several witchcrafts and feeling the increase in power, Ryan once again focused on the newly learned tailoring.

He planned to change his job to "tailor" as soon as possible. After all, he was just one step away from the final step.

At this time, the knock on the door sounded again.

"Please come in."

It was the capable young woman Olena who came in. She smiled and congratulated: "Sir Ryan, I heard that you killed a dragon yesterday? Congratulations, you have become a dragon slayer."

"Thank you, has this matter spread?" Ryan couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Of course, this is slaying a dragon. Besides, it was not just us sword bearers, but also the griffin knights and the defenders of Brightxin. They all helped you promote it." "

I think your reputation will soon spread to several nearby provinces." Olena covered her mouth and chuckled.

Ryan couldn't help but shook his head, thinking to himself, good intentions lead to bad results.

This made the time he could stay in Munster even shorter.

"By the way, Lord Ryan, there is news about the people in Sam's group that you asked me to investigate last time." Olena handed a stack of papers to Ryan.

Ryan nodded, and compared Olena's information with that of the beautiful woman Jennifer, and basically confirmed that it was correct.

"Perhaps, you are more concerned about the following news."

"Oh?" Ryan couldn't help but look at Olena.

"Before, you asked me to focus on the news of the barbarian tribe in the Frost Tundra. Coincidentally, an acquaintance of mine in the intelligence department of the Imperial Capital Headquarters told me a message for help that he received in the Imperial Capital three days ago."

"At present, the situation of the barbarian tribe is worrying!"

"Oh? Lord Olena, please tell me in detail." Ryan raised his eyebrows.

"Well, the barbarians in the Howling Tundra are mainly divided into two tribes, one is the Norton Tribe, or the Norton people, and the other is the Reach Tribe, or the Reach people."

"Although I don't know which tribe you asked me to focus on last time, Lord Ryan, but from the intelligence, both tribes are not having a good time."

"The Black Flame Cult is rampant in the Howling Tundra now. As a cult that worships fire and hunting, it has spread very quickly in the Howling Tundra. Many indigenous tribes have become believers of the Black Flame Cult."

"And the barbarian tribes are not weak, so fierce battles broke out with the Black Flame Cult one after another."

"But after a period of time, the Black Flame Cult mobilized many strong men, which made the barbarian tribes unable to resist and retreated step by step. Therefore, the barbarian tribes sought help from the empire some time ago, but at present, the empire has not sent a guardian to go there."

"Now, the two barbarian tribes are migrating to the more remote areas in the north of the tundra."

"Huh? The Black Flame Cult again, this bunch of lingering things." Ryan narrowed his eyes and said.

"Isn't the Empire going to take action?"

"It's unlikely in the short term. The Empire will definitely focus on the domestic situation. As for the Cold Tundra, it may not have time to take care of

it." Ryan nodded. Indeed, under the current situation, the Empire is likely to do so.

"By the way, Lord Olena, the barbarian tribes should be much safer after the migration, right?" Ryan couldn't help asking.

"Uh, Lord Ryan, I'm sorry, I didn't finish just now. The problem now is that the north of the Cold Tundra is not stable either." Olena said apologetically.

"Huh?" Ryan raised his eyebrows and said.

"It is said that not long ago, an ancestor dragon named Corasius was revived from the glacier in the Far North. It is currently expanding its territory and gathering its followers. It is said that several large northern bear monster tribes have taken the initiative to surrender."

"If these two barbarian tribes continue to migrate, they will definitely be noticed by the other side."

Olena's words immediately made Ryan's face uncertain.
