Chapter 519 Emergency Modification

Chapter 519 Emergency Modification

"Not sure, it seems that this island has existed for a long time."

"Besides, if it is an old dragon, it's fine. If it is a red dragon at the level of an extremely old dragon, I can't help you at all now, but I will be a burden." Menia shook her head and said.

"So, Ryan, if you want to explore, wait for me for a few more days until I can temporarily control the injury."

"Of course, no problem, Your Highness Menia." Ryan had no objection to Menia's request.

Moreover, Menia was right. If the opponent was a red dragon at the level of an extremely old dragon, then its strength would be close to the epic peak, and it is estimated that the gap with the Red Dragon King Straz would not be big.

Although Ryan was not afraid, once they fought, he would certainly not be able to take care of His Highness Menia who was standing beside him.

Because of the concern about the powerful red dragon that might exist in the lava lake, Menia soon entered deep meditation again to recover, and Ryan naturally continued to study his goblin engineering.

Considering that Menia's injury was not unstable, Ryan could only temporarily give up the plan to use witchcraft to communicate. After all, if there were wizards or sorcerers of the Poseidon Cult above the island, they would probably detect the communication signal and expose their own position.

However, in such a quiet environment, it is also a very pleasant thing to seriously study a subject of interest.

Soon, with the successful production of the 31st "Magic Iron Rifle", the knowledge of goblin engineering also reached 100% as a matter of course, and the system prompt also appeared in Ryan's mind:

[Ding! The host has mastered the basic knowledge of goblin engineering, triggering the subsequent job transfer - Goblin Engineer (Legend)! ]

[The prerequisites for promotion to Goblin Engineer (Legend) are: 1. Casting or mechanical extraordinary profession level 5 or above (Great Armor Caster meets the requirements); 2. Strength 18 points or more, physique 18 points, spirit 20 points or more; 3. Master the knowledge related to goblin engineering; 4. Independently produce any three qualified goblin engineering creations. The current conditions are met! Yes/No Job Transfer Goblin Engineer (Legend)? 】

【Note: After changing to Goblin Engineer (Legend), the original Great Armorsmith (Super) occupation panel will be integrated into the Goblin Engineer (Legend) occupation panel. 】

Without any hesitation, Ryan immediately chose "Yes"!

【Start changing jobs.】

【Ding! Successfully changed to Goblin Engineer (Legend)! Strength +3, Agility +3, Spirit +5! 】

【Get the core skill of Goblin Engineer (Legend): Emergency Modification (Active)】

On the system panel.

The original Great Armorsmith (Super) occupation panel has disappeared, and the Goblin Engineer (Legend) occupation panel has appeared instead.

The entire panel is flashing with an extremely strong blue light. In Ryan's memory, it seems to be more dazzling than the blue of the Weapon Master (Legend) that appeared before, and is almost the same as the blue light of the Warhammer Wizard (Legend).

This seems to mean that even among the legendary professions, the Goblin Engineer (Legend) is a top profession.

Of course, Ryan's current vision is also high, and he will not be ecstatic, but joy is inevitable.

"Eh, emergency modification?"

Ryan couldn't help but focus his eyes on the new core skill, because the name alone was very interesting. The skill description was as follows:

[Emergency modification (active) effect: Goblin engineers can perform emergency modification on mechanical devices according to the situation and resources on site. For example, in the absence of certain specific parts, temporary substitutes can be made from other materials, or mechanical parts originally used for other purposes can be modified to meet the current needs of mechanical devices. ]

(Note: Emergency modification of spare parts will consume mental power in equal amounts. The higher the complexity of the spare parts and the scarcity of the materials, the greater the mental power consumed. At the same time, the duration of the spare parts that should be modified will also be limited.)

"Interesting."

When Ryan carefully read the effect description of the core skill in front of him, a smile appeared on his face.

If it was a small or medium-sized mechanical device, it would be fine. For a large mechanical device, it is impossible that all the materials on it are metal. Even the prototype, which is almost 99% full metal golem, has a small amount of insulating ceramic parts and rubber seals inside.

Therefore, even though Ryan could find a large number of metals of various types by the lava lake, and mastered fire magic, and could melt and transform alloys at will, he still could not make large mechanical devices, and there were still a small number of key parts that could not be solved.

But now, things have taken a turn for the better!

"It just so happens that I can try to make a large mechanical device, and by the way, I can use it as a way to impact the level of the goblin engineer and save some attribute points and skill points." Ryan thought to himself.

Because since the end of the last battle, Ryan's remaining attribute points are only a pitiful little. If he really encounters a stronger enemy, he will still be very passive.

So, without much hesitation, Ryan quickly started to make it.

Soon, as metal parts of various shapes quickly deformed and appeared in Ryan's hands, a prototype of a mechanical chocobo that had appeared many times in the ruins of the floating city gradually appeared in front of him.

Ten minutes later.

As Ryan silently recited "emergency modification" in his heart, he was seen without any insulating materials, relying on the special effect of consuming mental power to call the mysterious side energy particles to affect and change the properties of metals in a short time, and quickly assembled a small energy furnace device that was more than half a meter long and nearly cylindrical.

Finally, when he stuffed a hellfire crystal into it, a power core suitable for mechanical chocobos was ready.

This is also the most troublesome part.

Logically speaking, the production of a small energy furnace requires a lot of insulating parts to isolate the energy dissipation inside the furnace, but Ryan perfectly avoided this bottleneck problem by relying on the core skill "emergency modification".

The next step is simple.

Not long after, a buzzing mechanical chocobo appeared in front of Ryan.

"It works, great!"

Ryan smiled, admiring the mechanical chocobo he had seen several times in front of him, and the relevant goblin engineering production insights appeared in his mind.

At the same time, the system prompt also appeared:

[You made a mechanical chocobo, and your understanding of it has been improved! ]

[You have learned a new skill - Mechanical Chocobo Making]

[Your skill Mechanical Chocobo Making has been improved, and your experience value has been increased by 20]

[You focus on Mechanical Chocobo Making, and your Goblin Engineer (Legendary) professional experience has

been increased by 30] Since Ryan has the three advantages of super metal affinity, late stage of Dawn Wizard, and the fourth level of Iron Heart Advanced Meditation, he can almost be regarded as a small Goblin Engineering Workshop.

Some spare parts that originally required mechanical equipment such as mold casting machines and milling machines to make, Ryan has done them all by himself, and the precision is even higher.

This is why Ryan only took less than two hours to make the mechanical chocobo that originally required the cooperation of several Goblin engineers and took ten days and a half months to complete!

"+30? Doesn't it mean that making four mechanical chocobos can upgrade to level 2?" Ryan raised his eyebrows and said.

Ryan, who was excited, soon invested in the production of mechanical chocobos again.

Three more days passed, and Ryan did not wait for Menia to wake up, but waited for the Goblin Engineer to enter level 5.

At the same time, a series of new system prompts also appeared. The most important thing is that the job transfer conditions for the Goblin Engineering Expert (Epic) that appeared in the floating city before but were not detailed and clear were clarified this time.

[Ding! It is detected that the host's Goblin Engineer (Legend) has reached level 5, triggering the promotion and transfer to Goblin Engineering Expert (Epic)! ]

[The prerequisites for promotion to Goblin Engineering Expert (Epic) are: 1. Goblin Engineer (Legend) level 5 or above; 2. Strength 20 points or more, Constitution 20 points or more, Agility 20 points or more, Spirit 40 points or more; 3. Master the advanced knowledge of Goblin Engineering; 4. Independently produce any five qualified advanced Goblin Engineering creations. The current conditions are not met! Job transfer to Goblin Engineering Expert (Epic) failed! 】

"Sure enough, all the job transfer conditions have appeared."

"High-difficulty knowledge of goblin engineering? Not a big problem, basically the content of the second memory crystal last time."

"Advanced goblin engineering creations? Making super-large mechanical devices like prototypes and mechanical octopuses?"

Ryan looked carefully and found that as long as he kept up with the relevant knowledge, he could change his job almost at any time in the future, which made him feel better!

Because this not only means the emergence of a powerful combat profession, but also with the improvement of the profession level, it will contribute a lot of attribute points and skill points.

Somehow, his mind suddenly emerged, the goblin mummy wearing a white coat on the second floor of the floating city ruins, constantly awakening one prototype after another.

"The other party should be the so-called goblin engineering expert, right?" Ryan couldn't help but think. In

the imperial capital Tamriel,

in the Bishu Construction School's residence,

the school leader Moria and Ryan's mentor Mogaro were leading a number of key personnel in the school's construction hall to try to repair the super giant golem "Destroyer" that was destroyed in the previous battle in Ferdinand Forest.

Although the core of the large furnace equipped with Abyssal Fire was fired and exploded at that time, the Destroyer Golem was almost melted because it was too close to the explosion!

However, when the giant iron lump wreckage was transported back for inspection, everyone was surprised. Although the external intact rate was only 20%, the internal intact rate reached 80%.

Most of the damage was the outer metal and a small part of the wiring.

There is no need to make a new Destroyer, but it can be considered to be repaired directly.

Now, nearly a month has passed, and the entire repair progress has been completed by more than 70%. The rest are all related to some device differences, such as the differences between ancient large furnace devices and contemporary furnaces.

Because once the adjustment is made, the line will also need to be adjusted synchronously. Although the difficulty is not high, it is quite time-consuming and laborious.

"Knock, knock!"

At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the hall!

"Come in!" Moria said without raising his head.

The person who came was the deputy leader Bradley. He was gloomy and reported: "School leader, the Imperial School Joint Meeting has received news that our school's promotion application has been shelved."

"What! Why is it shelved?"

Hearing this news, Mogaro, who was bending over to check the line, couldn't help but look up in surprise and looked at Bradley.

Several other school backbones were also shocked.

"What's the reason? Even if the Destroyer Golem has not been completely repaired, Lord Ryan is a real fourth-level Dawn Wizard, and he should meet the promotion conditions!"

Compared with others, the school leader Moria was more patient and asked after thinking for a moment.

"This." Bradley looked at the people around him and whispered, "Master, please come to the side with me and Lord Mogaro."

"Hmm? OK!" Moria looked at Bradley in confusion and nodded.

So the two of them quickly followed Bradley to the side.

Bradley's face became serious and he said, "I heard that Lord Ryan had an accident."

"Hmm? Accident? But didn't Ryan accompany His Highness Menia to visit the Federation? Could this also happen?" Mogaro looked at Bradley suspiciously.

"His Highness Menia also had an accident! I have checked with a few old friends! It is said that the imperial delegation was ambushed by the incarnation of the goddess of the underworld and a large number of Poseidon believers on the way back." Bradley shook his head and sighed.

"What!" Hearing this news, even the calm master Moria's eyes widened.

"Then both of them..." Mogaro said in shock.

"I don't know, but according to the rumors from the Astrologer's Platform, the great astrologer Dallion's divination showed that both of them should be alive, but they seem to be imprisoned by the goddess of the underworld."

"What does the Empire say?" Moria calmed down his excitement and asked again.

"It's not clear yet." Bradley shook his head and said.

"No wonder the Imperial Wizard School Federation put our application on hold! A bunch of guys who follow the wind!"

In an instant, Moria figured out the reason. After all, the fewer large wizard schools there are, the better. No large school likes to see a medium-sized wizard school promoted.

It was impossible to stop it before, after all, Ryan's combat power was too strong.

In addition, the Empire also did not want too many large wizard schools to appear, and coupled with the deliberate interference of certain forces, so what was originally a sure thing turned out to be such a change.

"Alas! In the deep sea, there is the headquarters of the Poseidon Cult. Our school is too weak! It is impossible to rescue Ryan!" Ryan's mentor Mogaro said with a painful expression.

Ryan is his most proud disciple, but now he knows that he is in trouble, but as a mentor, he cannot rescue him. It is really a torture!

"The most troublesome thing now is that the Isodra School believes that our Destroyer Golem technology is stolen from their information, and we are required to submit detailed information to the Imperial Wizard School Federation within half a month!" Bradley said bitterly.

"What! Too shameless! This bunch of shameless people!"

"They actually took advantage of the fire to rob!" Moria was almost so angry that he jumped up!

At the same time.

In the inner ring of the imperial capital.

The Snyder family mansion.

"Lord Luther, we have always had a good relationship with the Snyder family, and we have cooperated in many fields. This time, I was entrusted by a friend to bring you a message. Your friend, Lord Ryan, may have met with an accident, so I hope you don't pay too much attention to some things."

A middle-aged man dressed as a gentleman bowed slightly and said.

"Lord Ryan is not only my friend, but also has made outstanding contributions to the empire. Isn't it a bit too much for you to do this!" Luther said with an ugly face.

This is the fourth wave of representatives of the imperial capital nobles who came to the door and implicitly asked the Snyder family not to meddle in other people's affairs.

Although the other party came in with the excuse of discussing trade, in the end, the focus of the conversation was on his friend Ryan. The meaning contained in it is self-evident!

If it was just one or two families, Luther would naturally not be afraid!

But the problem now is that this is already the fourth family, and representatives of the Guardian family have begun to appear.

Although the Snyder family is the most powerful in the Marne Province, this is the imperial capital, and in comparison, it is still the weaker party.

In addition, the most important problem was that he didn't know how to convince his father. After all, he had also inquired and knew that Ryan might not be able to come back.

On one side is his good friend Ryan, and on the other side is the interests and even safety of his own family. This is an extremely difficult choice for Luther!

The same thing happened in the Bavarian family mansion.

"Sir Harlowen, you don't need to feel guilty for a friend who will never come back. You just did what is most beneficial to you and your family, didn't you?"

"You should know that our two families can carry out in-depth cooperation in many trade areas."

"By the way, your father, the Duke of Munster, seems to be a little too persistent. I might as well say something directly. Next, we will take action in Munster. I hope you can persuade your father. After all, the province of Munster is the fief of your family."

Harlowen, nicknamed "The Spear of Bavaria", is in the reception room at this moment, watching a middle-aged man in aristocratic clothes leave with a serious face, and the words the other party just said are still in his ears.

The other party is from the Drum family. To sum up, he asked him and the Bavarian family to mind their own business.

"It seems that we need to find someone to discuss countermeasures."

"The other party is going to take action in Munster? But aren't Lord Ryan's family members in the imperial capital?"

"But no matter what, we must notify my father immediately and be prepared." Harlowen looked thoughtful.
