Chapter 407: Winning over

Ryan noticed the difference in this drive after a little perception.

The last time he drove the original Hellfire Golem, he consumed almost half of his mental power, but this time, after he entered the third-level crystallization wizard, he only consumed about a quarter of his mental power, and it was much easier to control.

This also reflects from the side that the mental power in the crystallization stage is much more condensed than the liquefied level.

Ryan thought about it and found that the previous plan was still a little restrained. He should be able to barely control three improved Hellfire Golems at the same time.

But thinking carefully, two is about the same.

If it's two, he can control it more delicately, but if it's three, it's more difficult.

After all, in terms of the fineness of the control, it is much more difficult to control three at the same time than two.

At this time, as the six-meter-tall, increasingly large and heavy Hellfire Improved stood up, a roar similar to that of a V12 engine sounded in Mogaro's spacious laboratory.

"Use witchcraft to attack, aim at the iron target in front." This time, Ryan did not test physical attacks, but directly tested the power of witchcraft attacks.

This was because this part was the biggest improvement of the improved model, and it was also the point he paid the most attention to.

With Ryan's order, the two thick breastplates on the left and right chests of the golem suddenly slid down, revealing two dark gun holes, plus the two gun barrels on the shoulders, that was four.

In an instant, the four gun barrels flashed with strong witchcraft aura at the same time.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

"Overclock!" Ryan continued, directly in one step, turning on the witchcraft attack maximization mode.

At this time, the buzzing sound in the improved golem's body immediately became louder, and the sound began to become a little high-pitched!

In one second, the four black gun barrels fired eight fireballs and shadow arrows, and the solid iron target in front did not last for three seconds, and even the pile foundation was blown away.

If Ryan hadn't called a halt quickly, I'm afraid that the laboratory of mentor Mogaro would have been blown out with a big hole!

Seeing this power, Ryan was naturally not dissatisfied, and immediately smiled.

"Hahaha, with this power, I'm afraid it can fight against ordinary legends." Mogaro stroked his big red beard and said excitedly.

The last Hellfire Golem, Mogaro thought it was a "once in a lifetime" series.

Unexpectedly, this time with the help of his favorite disciple, the combat power of the improved Hellfire was once again improved.

"Teacher, thank you." Ryan bowed slightly and thanked him.

"Do you want another one? Then remember to come and help in the next two days, otherwise it may be too late for us." Mogaro, who was in a good mood, waved his hand and said.

"Of course no problem." Ryan nodded and agreed.

He harvested thirteen Hellfire crystals and one Abyssal Fire Crystal last time.

The self-destructing Hellfire Golem consumed three of them, and Ryan still had eleven left, which was more than enough to make two improved Hellfires.

Ryan wanted to ask about the fourth level of the original Iron Heart Meditation Method, but seeing how hard Mogaro was working, he thought about it and decided not to rush.

It would be in time to ask after the selection of the Dragon Knight Reserve was over.

Because of the news of the cult, Ryan was busy until the evening, and then he had some free time. After all,

Claire was the daughter of the Earl, so it was impossible for her to stay in Ryan's mansion.

After dinner, Lagre came over and said, "Walk together?"

"Okay!" Ryan nodded.

It can be seen that Lagre seemed to be a little worried.

"Ryan, do you know why I didn't come to see you after I went back last year?" The two came to the open space in the backyard of the mansion. Lagre looked up and looked at the bright starry sky and said.

"Is it because of the tribe?" Ryan said.

Because he remembered that Lagre told him the reason last time.

Lagre shook her head, staring at Ryan with her beautiful eyes, and said, "It's not just because of the tribe. Do you know what I was thinking when I went to participate in the trial?"

Instead of answering Ryan's question directly, Lagre talked about the barbarian trial.

This made Ryan a little confused.

However, Ryan knew that this trial was said to have a mortality rate of half, which was extremely dangerous, but it was a tradition of the barbarian tribe and the only way for barbarians to enter the extraordinary.

But the problem was that after hearing Lagre's words, Ryan realized an aspect that he had always ignored.

Although Lagre was the first to have an intimate relationship with him, if you think about it carefully, maybe Lagre had a good impression of him at that time, but it was definitely not to the extent of committing her body to him.

More of it should be out of gratitude to him.

Thank you for saving her, thank you for avenging her brother and handling the aftermath, etc.

It's like the saying in the previous life, 'I have nothing to repay you, so I can only commit my body to you. '

However, after Ryan went to the Frost Tundra and met the Norton tribe, he knew very well that the husband-wife relationship of the Barbarian tribe was more loyal than that of the Dragun Empire.

According to tradition, there is only one partner.

Why didn't Lagre come to him? He was the man who had Lagre's virginity.

From another perspective, even if Lagre had all kinds of difficulties at that time, it shouldn't be difficult to write a letter, right?

Why take such a great risk to participate in the trial?

Ryan found that he couldn't figure it out for a while, let alone answer the other party's question.

However, before Ryan could think of what to say, he heard Lagre continue: "At that time, I thought that if I died in the trial, you wouldn't be alone, Anna would accompany you."

Lagre's words stunned Ryan.

This was an answer that was completely unexpected to him.

'Even if she died, Anna would still be with him', what does this mean?

It means that Lagre always thought that she was the third party. Although she had a good impression of him, in the simple values ​​of the barbarians, she must have felt that she should not intervene between him and Anna.

The intimate relationship that took place was mostly for the sake of repaying a favor, and after leaving, Lagre almost never thought about coming back.

This made Ryan realize for the first time that it seemed that he had never deeply understood the inner world of the barbarian girl in front of him.

Yes, since the day he crossed over, he relied on the system and his strength was improving almost every day. Now, it has reached a level that was unimaginable before.

Strength, power, and wealth are increasing, but for the people around him, even the people around him, their emotions are ignored.

They are all living people with their own joys, sorrows, thoughts, and beliefs.

"Today, Miss Claire should have a special relationship with you."

"Besides, Anna should not know her."

Lagre said two more sentences in a row, but Ryan naturally understood what she meant.

"What about you?" Ryan did not answer Lagre's question, but asked back.

"Me?" Lagre was obviously a little surprised by what Ryan said.

"I don't know. I thought you only had Anna, me." Lagre shook her head and said.

At the same time.

In the study of a noble mansion in the second ring of the imperial capital Tamriel.

Two middle-aged nobles were discussing something.

If Ryan was at the scene, he would definitely recognize at a glance that the middle-aged noble sitting in front of the large desk was Viscount Hamadi who was far away in Meister.

At the same time, there would naturally be questions, why did the other party come to the imperial capital?

"Hamadi, this time you were transferred from Meister to the fourth ring trade zone in the imperial capital as a sheriff. Do you know the reason?" The noble with a slicked back hair behind the desk smiled and said.

"Uh, I don't know." Hamadi was a little restrained in front of the Marquis Royce in front of him.

It was not because the other party's noble title in the Dragun Empire was two levels higher than his, but because the other party was a senior person in charge of the Federation on the imperial side.

The Marquis Royce in front of him is responsible for the intelligence network work of multiple provinces in the empire, and Munster Province is one of them.

In other words, the other party is the boss of his boss.

He suddenly received a secret order the day before yesterday and was transferred to the imperial capital today. He just reported to the Imperial Capital Public Security Bureau and came here in the evening. He has no time to understand and familiarize himself with some situations.

"Ryan, are you familiar with it?" The other party said a name.

"Ryan? If it is the sword bearer Ryan from Meister, then it is familiar." The figure of a young man flashed through Hamady's mind.

In an instant, Hamady's mind seemed to have cleared the fog and figured out why he was transferred to the imperial capital.

About two months ago, he received news that Ryan seemed to be transferred to the headquarters of the sword bearer in the imperial capital.

Could it be that the other party did something special?

"This is some of the things the other party has done recently in the imperial capital. Take a look first and we will talk later." Marquis Royce pointed to a stack of intelligence on the desk and said.

Hamady nodded and quickly flipped through it.

But after just reading one page, Hamadi's heart was in turmoil!

This record!

If he remembered correctly, Ryan had only been in the imperial capital for two months!

Marquis Royce was not in a hurry at all. Instead, he stood up and poured a cup of tea for himself and Hamadi.

Half an hour later.

Hamadi looked a little dazed.

If he hadn't turned to the front page again and confirmed that it was clearly written on it, Ryan Kalan, from Meister Shining Gold Town,

he really wouldn't have overlapped the Ryan written on this intelligence with the Ryan he knew.

Because the battle records written on it were really too exaggerated.

It shouldn't be something that a 20-year-old young man could do. Even if it was replaced by a top legendary strongman in the empire, this record was too impressive.

"Lord Royce, do you need me to do something?" Hamadi calmed down the shock in his heart and said.

"The other party's potential assessment has now jumped from 17th to 3rd in the talent attraction sequence of the Federation." Royce smiled slightly and said.

"What?!" Hamadi's eyes glared and whispered.

Although he didn't know the specific list of talents to be attracted, especially the top 100, which was top secret, but as the person who handled the specific work, he naturally knew the evaluation criteria for talents.

Let's take an example of horizontal comparison.

In Rosby County next to Meister, Earl Elliot, the governor of a county, was not even ranked in the top 100.

In other words, he was not even on the top 100 list.

You know, this is the governor of an important coastal county.

And Ryan was ranked third!

The value is self-evident.

"Not only the opponent's potential, but also his current strength has reached the point where it needs to be taken seriously. In addition, he has another identity, a formal member of the metal department of the Bishu Construction School."

Before Hamadi asked, Royce took the initiative to start talking.

"Bishu Construction School, the wizard school that specializes in puppets and golems?" Hamadi immediately figured out something.

No wonder Ryan is so important.

Unlike the Dragun Empire, the Federation does not have creatures like dragons.

The Federation focuses on giant war golems, large airships, ironclad ships, improved artillery and steam engines, etc., to deal with the upcoming or ongoing crises.

"That's right." Royce nodded.

"In addition, he also participated in the Dragon Knight Reserve Assessment this time. If nothing unexpected happens, he will most likely become one of the youngest Dragon Knights in the Dragun Empire in a few years."

"Well, remove the word one." Marquis Royce paused and added.

This made Hamadi completely uneasy.

This is simply a top talent tailored for the Eagle Federation.

You should know that the Federation has been coveting the entire Dragon Knight training system of the Empire for a long time.

But several key links have never been figured out.

"So, your task is to do your best and try your best to win over this young Lord Ryan." Royce explained the reason for transferring Hamadi here.

After thinking for a while, Hamadi's face became serious and said, "Lord Marquis, to be honest, as long as the Sword Bearer Headquarters is not confused, I am afraid that no one will push away talents like Lord Ryan."

Royce naturally understood what Hamadi had not said.

For such top talents, the top leaders of the Empire are not idiots, and they will naturally take good care of them.

Moreover, Ryan will also consider the risk of switching sides. If this task of winning over is to succeed, it will naturally be extremely difficult.

"Under normal circumstances, it is indeed very difficult. But the problem is that there are some people and forces in the empire who do not want this Lord Ryan to continue to grow."

"This also creates an opportunity for us in disguise."

"Is that so?" Hamadi's eyes lit up.

In this case, this matter is feasible to a certain extent.

How great is it to win over the third person on the talent winning list to the Federation?

Hamadi thought about it for a while and knew that he only had to complete such a task in his life. Once completed, the next step is to return to the Federation and lie down completely.

Safety, life, women and money, as long as he doesn't spend them recklessly, he won't have to worry about it in his life.

"Hamadi, there is still some time for this matter, and you don't have to rush. Think about it first, which angle is better to start from."

"This is the latest information, take a look first, and tell me your thoughts in two days." Royce said.

"Yes, Lord Royce."

Soon, Hamadi returned and came to the study in his mansion alone.

He first took out a piece of white paper and placed it on the desk. Then, he picked up a feather pen and wrote the word "Ryan".

After thinking for a while, he wrote "woman" and "wizard".

Hamadi first focused his attention on women. His first impression of Ryan was that he was popular with women. There were several women around him who seemed to have a close relationship with him.

For example, Jennifer, the Baroness Crowley who was still in the Munster Province, had a very close relationship with Ryan. However, in terms of time, he knew Jennifer much earlier than Ryan.

In addition, there was Claire, the genius female knight of the Count Habsburg family.

In addition, there were the two people he had seen in the town of Shining Gold a long time ago. One of them seemed to be named Anna, and the other one's name was forgotten, but the other person looked like a barbarian girl, so it was not difficult to investigate.

And the administrative staff member who had just been transferred to the headquarters of the Sword Bearer in the Imperial Capital, Olena, seemed to be Ryan's contact person in the Munster branch.

That was five women.

Obviously, women should be a hobby of Ryan.

No, it might not necessarily be a preference, but it at least shows that Ryan does not reject outstanding and beautiful women.

In addition, judging from the age of the women, it seems that they range from those in their twenties to those around forty, and they don't mind, which further proves this point.

Thinking of this, Hamadi's eyes lit up immediately.

In other words, if he could find a woman that Ryan was interested in, then it would be much easier to win her over.

After figuring this out, Hamadi focused his attention on the last two words, "wizard".

After thinking for a moment, he frowned and wrote "witchcraft" and "mental power" after wizard.

This should also be a place to think about.

Although metal witchcraft is relatively rare, he has the support of the Federation, so it is not a big problem for him to get one or two metal witchcraft models.

In addition, there are potions or special items that can enhance mental power.

At present, all he can think of is to make a fuss about these points.

However, he hasn't seen Ryan for a while, so he still needs to meet and talk first, so that he can figure out what to do next.

The next morning.

A person who surprised Ryan suddenly came to visit.

In the reception room.

"Mr. Ryan, long time no see."

"Viscount Hamadi, long time no see." Ryan smiled, his tone quite polite.

He didn't expect that Viscount Hamadi, who was far away in Munster, would come to the imperial capital of Tamriel.

In addition, the other party's identity was also quite special. He was either a federal spy or an imperial noble who was inclined to the federation. Ryan naturally paid more attention to him.

Hamadi naturally showed appreciation for Ryan. After looking him up and down, he couldn't help but sighed: "Recently, I heard about the achievements of Lord Ryan after he came to the imperial capital. I was really dumbfounded."

"Thank you, Lord Hamadi, you are too kind." Ryan smiled slightly and said.

"By the way, when did Envoy Trena return to the federation? I haven't had time to thank her for the last incident." When seeing Hamadi, Ryan couldn't help but think of the powerful and plump beautiful woman.

And the three soul crystals that Trena asked Hamadi to give him at that time.

Just when Hamadi wanted to say something, suddenly, he, who was always good at observing words and expressions, found that when Ryan mentioned Envoy Trena, his face showed an expression that was not gratitude, but appreciation.

This instantly reminded Hammadi of something.

Beautiful woman, Jennifer, Trena

. Could it be that the young man in front of him has taken a fancy to Special Envoy Trena?

This...

"Ahem. Special Envoy Trena stayed in the imperial capital for about a week. After finalizing some things with the empire, she led the delegation back to the Federation."

Although Ryan was a little surprised that Hammadi was suddenly stunned, he didn't think much about it.

In addition, Ryan didn't ask the other party's purpose of coming, because since the other party took the initiative to come to the door, he would

definitely talk about business. Sure enough, after a brief greeting, Hammadi's face became serious and he said:

"Sir Ryan, I came here specially this time because I have an important news to inform you."

Thank you for the reward of being happy and having good luck!
