Chapter 178 Madam, I'm going to do some serious ironwork (two chapters in one)
As Ryan focused his eyes on the notes.
After a few seconds, Ryan raised his eyebrows and was quite shocked.
The notes read: Mithril carved plate armor, slightly increases the power of witchcraft.
Hmm?
Here is a common sense.
You know, almost all metal knight plate armor will hinder the mental power from mobilizing the surrounding mysterious energy particles. Depending on the metal material of the plate armor, it will be weakened by about half, ten or even more.
Otherwise, are wizards and wizard apprentices fools? Do
n't they know that wearing thick knight plate armor will have higher defense power, but they have to choose thin wizard robes to fight?
Ryan has already felt this in the previous battle.
For example, the chrome iron set weakened the power of Ryan's witchcraft by about one and a half percent.
However, for Ryan, at this stage, the first thing to do is to solve the problem of "whether there is" witchcraft, rather than pursuing the ultimate power of a certain witchcraft, so he doesn't care much about it.
Of course, as Ryan's wizard path deepens, it is very likely that this 10% reduction in power will exceed the defensive power of the chrome iron plate armor itself.
Therefore, the effect of this mithril carved plate armor just now - 'slightly increase the power of witchcraft', which overturned Ryan's previous inherent cognition.
After calming down the shock in his heart, Ryan carefully checked the production process and process of this mithril carved plate armor.
First of all, its main material is mithril ingot.
Ryan has certainly heard about mithril. It is a rare ore, which is said to have good tolerance for various energy particles. It
is considered to be the material with the least reduction in witchcraft power among metals, which seems to be less than half.
However, an obvious problem is that if it is only because mithril is used as the main production material, it is still not enough to achieve the effect of slightly increasing the power of witchcraft as mentioned in the annotation. Sure enough
, with doubts, Ryan continued to look down and saw that there was a process behind it. The parchment scroll called it an inscription, which roughly means that some mysterious line symbols need to be engraved and outlined on the surface of the forged mithril plate armor.
Ryan still didn't quite understand the principle of this step, but it was obvious that this was the key to the mithril carved plate armor that could slightly increase the power of witchcraft!
Just as Ryan was thinking about this problem, suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed through his mind.
No?
This craft
obviously doesn't seem like a skill that can be mastered by rough forging men, but more like some mysterious skills!
Could it be that the late Baron Crowley was not only an armorer, but also a senior wizard apprentice?
Otherwise, it is impossible to explain why he can combine the forging skills with this complicated inscription skills so well.
Ryan thought about it and said to himself:
"It seems that the late Baron Crowley is not that simple."
"Perhaps, there are unknown stories about the other party's death."
However, Ryan soon shook his head slightly.
Now he has no intention to investigate this matter. Obviously, this matter is likely to involve a lot of his time and energy.
And his current focus is to improve his strength to deal with those known and unknown challenges.
As for the mithril carved plate armor, it had to be put aside for the time being.
Because you have to eat one bite at a time and walk one step at a time.
He is not even an armorer now, let alone mastering the inscription skills. How can he make this most difficult mithril carved plate armor?
At this stage, Ryan plans to make the first volume, which is the simplest plate armor set - the spear cavalry set.
On the one hand, the process of making the spear cavalry set can be used to upgrade the blacksmith's professional level to level 5. On the other hand, the third condition of changing to an armorer also requires independent forging of any ten qualified plate armor parts.
So, after putting away the second volume, Ryan opened the first volume again and read carefully about the production process of the spear cavalry set.
Before arriving in the town of Shining Gold, Ryan had already understood the entire production process of the spear cavalry set.
One good thing about the spear cavalry set is that it only requires ordinary iron ingots to forge, the materials are easy to collect, and the price is relatively cheap. It is suitable for batch production and is most suitable for brushing experience.
What impressed Ryan the most was that the breastplate of the spear cavalry plate armor set was actually a rare "muscle-type breastplate".
It was similar to the breastplate worn by ancient Spartan warriors in the previous life, with the outline of chest muscles and abdominal muscles, but for the sake of lightness, the thickness was much thinner.
At the same time, its craftsmanship was not hammered out, but directly cast into shape by molds. In this case, the quality was naturally not as good as the "muscle-type breastplate" that had been tempered a thousand times, but in the parchment scroll, it seemed that the positioning of this spear cavalry suit was the entry-level mass-produced product.
"Hey! The breastplate of the spear cavalry suit is made of two large iron plates, namely the front chest and back iron plates, which are cast separately and then combined together."
Suddenly, Ryan's eyes lit up.
He just thought of an idea because he remembered a spiritual book he had read before, "Exploration of the Application of Burning Touch in the Field of Forging".
"If this is the production process, it seems that I can combine this production process with the witchcraft 'Scorching Touch' to greatly improve the production efficiency."
"Perhaps, it won't take long for the blacksmith to reach level 5!"
"After my family moves to the county town, I can go to the blacksmith shop and try forging directly. If everything goes well, maybe in two or three days, I can raise the blacksmith's professional level to level 5!"
However, Ryan soon thought of another question.
"If the experience reward given by the spear cavalry breastplate is very high, should I upgrade the blacksmith to level 6 before considering changing to armor forger?"
Ryan hesitated, thought for a moment, and shook his head slightly.
"We'll see when the time comes! We don't know yet how much experience points the system can give for making a lancer breastplate."
"In addition, even if the experience points awarded by the system are very generous when the blacksmith is level 5, it does not mean that it will still be generous when the blacksmith is level 6. In the previous skill upgrade process, there was a situation where the original skill experience was greatly weakened after the professional level was upgraded."
Of course, the most important thing is the vacation given to him by Count Habsburg, which lasts only one month.
Therefore, he must settle his family as soon as possible, and then go to the Gold Coast of Rossby County to find Master Gunther Odinga for further study.
If the job change to armor forger is only delayed for two or three days, it should not be a big problem. After all, it takes this time to settle the family and deal with some chores.
But if it is delayed too long, it will not be worth the loss.
After returning home, Ryan's first words when he entered the door scared his mother Emma.
"Mom, we may have to move again. You can pack up now."
At this moment, Ryan was sitting on a recliner in the backyard, half-closed his eyes, basking in the warm winter sun while watching Mint playing with Cookie in the yard, looking like he was enjoying the joy of family.
But when he accidentally heard Ryan's words, Ryan almost fell off the recliner.
"Ryan, is there something wrong?" Mother Emma asked in panic.
Ryan and his sister Mint also ran over from the backyard.
Ryan realized that because he didn't explain it in detail, he scared his family.
So, he quickly explained, "It's a good thing. I was awarded the title of Baron. The Empire arranged a Baron's mansion for me in the county town."
Hearing that this was the case, Mother Emma patted her chest, breathed a sigh of relief, and said angrily, "Really, why don't you explain things clearly."
After thinking about it, Mother Emma asked reluctantly, "Well, Ryan, can we not move? It's good to live here, we are quite satisfied. And we are familiar with the neighbors. If we go to the county town..."
Old Ryan also nodded and agreed, "Yes, Ryan, we live well here, and we are familiar with the surroundings. If we go to the county town, we won't know anyone around."
In the eyes of old Ryan, the big house he lives in now is the living conditions he once dreamed of.
Now he is really satisfied to live here.
"This." Ryan looked thoughtful.
Of course he could understand his parents' concerns, but if his family continued to live in Shining Gold Town, it would be unsafe
. So, Ryan soon shook his head and said, "I'm afraid not. Since the new mansion is in the noble district of the county town, it will be more secure. If it is in Shining Gold Town, it will be much more dangerous."
"But brother, if you are here, there should be no problem with safety, right?" Sister Mint looked at Ryan with bright eyes.
She has always been confident in her brother's strength.
Ryan touched his sister's soft hair and said, "Of course, but brother will go on a long journey soon to improve his strength. He will be away for about a month."
"So, Mint, you don't want your brother to worry about your safety in the distance."
Hearing the words "improve strength".
Mother Emma and old Ryan looked at each other.
Of course, they knew that this was a big deal related to their son's future. They immediately understood that it was not a question of whether they wanted to move or not, but in order for Ryan to feel at ease when he was away, the whole family must move to the county town.
"Okay, let's pack up right away!" Old Ryan said with finality.
Ryan looked at his father and nodded slightly.
It seems that when faced with such a big event, men are more decisive than women.
"Ryan, I'll go pack it up now." Mother Emma also nodded, turned and walked towards the room, ready to pack up.
"Mother, just bring some necessities. In the new mansion, beds, bedding and even clothes have been prepared by someone."
"By the way, there are also several servants and a team of guards who have already moved in to clean and guard." Ryan instructed.
Ryan's words immediately made his mother Emma, who had just turned around and left, stand still.
And old Ryan and sister Mint, looking at Ryan at this time, their eyes suddenly widened, their mouths slightly opened, with a surprised expression of "what did you just say?"
Before, they only heard Ryan say that he became a baron.
But they had never thought so thoroughly about the impact that Ryan's becoming a baron might have on all aspects of their lives.
All they could think of before was that they could eat better, live better, and maybe ride in a carriage when traveling, but that was all.
This time, when they heard Ryan say the words "servant" and "guard", they realized it.
It turned out that their lives would soon be completely different from before!
"Brother, is there anyone who can play with me?" Mint was the first to break the silence and said happily.
"Of course." Ryan nodded.
The next morning, after loading the valuables onto the Crowley family's carriage, the Ryan family set off for the county town. Ryan
entrusted the captain of the Night Watch, the short Matteo, to help sell the other items, including the new house in the town of Shining Gold, where they had only lived for a month .
Not long after, the Ryan family quickly arrived at the door of the new mansion in a carriage.
When mother Emma got off the carriage, she saw two rows of people standing neatly on both sides of the mansion gate. One row was male and female servants in uniform, and the other row was fully armed guards. She was stunned.
When the servants and guards saw the Ryan family get off the carriage, they immediately shouted respectfully:
"Baron Ryan, good day!"
"Madam, Miss, good day!"
The young Mint tightly grasped the corner of her brother Ryan's clothes, looking quite nervous.
But soon, she poked her little head out from behind Ryan, curiously looking around and at the group of strangers in front of her who called her Miss.
At this moment, old Ryan and Emma's brains were still buzzing.
They had imagined this scene before, but the protagonist was their son-Ryan. They had imagined that their son would become a distinguished knight and enjoy the admiration of the people after he became successful.
But what they didn't expect was that one day, they would be treated with such respect.
Ryan waved to several male servants and said, "Come here and take down the things. Everyone else, do your job."
"Yes, my Lord Baron!"
Immediately, two rows of people started moving. The guards continued to perform their duties, while three male servants came to the back of the carriage to help carry the luggage.
The maids diligently led the way in front.
"Ryan, this place is so big," Mother Emma said as she walked, looking around curiously.
This new mansion is at least ten blocks away from the new house in Shining Gold Town.
She found that although she had never seen the decoration and style here, it revealed a low-key luxury, and she liked it everywhere.
At this time, a radiant and beautiful woman, accompanied by a beautiful noble girl, walked out of the villa. They were Baroness Crawley, Jennifer, and Jenny.
"Father, mother, this is Baroness Crawley, and this Miss Jenny, I think you have met her." Ryan introduced with a smile.
When old Ryan and his mother Emma heard that this person was actually a noble "Baroness", they shuddered and were a little at a loss. For a moment, they didn't know how to address this noble lady Jennifer.
Jennifer, a beautiful woman who was quite observant, naturally would not let such an embarrassing situation happen.
She walked forward with a smile, took Ryan's mother Emma's hand in a familiar way, and said very down-to-earth: "Sister Emma, you can just call me Jennifer. I am now the housekeeper of Baron Ryan's mansion."
"So, if you two have any needs, you can tell me. By the way, I will take you to visit the new mansion now, how about it?"
The kind expression and warm words of the beautiful woman made Emma less nervous.
However, she and old Ryan immediately turned to look at Ryan, their eyes full of questioning, as if asking, "Such a noble and beautiful Baroness is actually their housekeeper? " "Is it okay?" "
Ryan nodded to the two of them and smiled, "Father, mother, let Miss Jenny take you around. I have something to do with Baroness Crowley."
As soon as these words came out, the beautiful woman's face turned slightly red.
She thought Ryan wanted to be with her again.
But the next second, after hearing what Ryan said, she realized that she had misunderstood.
"Madam, I need to use the Crowley family's blacksmith shop as soon as possible. Well, maybe I need some cooperation from the blacksmith shop." Ryan turned to the beautiful woman and said.
"Of course, Baron Ryan, how about I take you there now?" Since there were others present, the beautiful woman said very respectfully and formally.
Ryan certainly noticed the beautiful woman's charming look, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, thinking, Madam, I'm going to go to work as a blacksmith, not to work as a blacksmith .
But of course, he couldn't say it so directly.
Ryan said, "A blacksmith shop is not a place for a noble lady to stay, but you can take me there first and introduce the person in charge of the blacksmith shop. Perhaps I need their help."
"After that, you can come back first. There are many things to do in the new mansion. In addition, my parents may need your company."
One hour later.
In a separate smelting room in the Crowley family blacksmith shop.
After a brief introduction, Jennifer had already returned, and Ryan asked the blacksmith shop to prepare an empty room, clay molds and a large number of iron ingots for him.
Ryan planned to try to make a spear cavalry breastplate.
As for choosing a large and heavy breastplate instead of other smaller knight plate armor parts such as wrist guards, it was because only the breastplate part did not require too much hammering process.
In other words, if Ryan's witchcraft "Scorching Touch" can be successfully matched with the breastplate forging, then he can successfully make a pair of spear cavalry breastplates in a short time, thereby gaining a lot of professional experience points.
There were already seven or eight red-hot iron ingots in the blacksmith's furnace.
Ryan raised his hands, about thirty or forty centimeters away from the blacksmith's furnace, and held them in the air.
Then, he began to chant the spell softly.
Just over two seconds later, a red light suddenly appeared in front of Ryan's palm.
Since Ryan's mental power was as high as 25 points at this time, the power of the witchcraft "Scorching Touch" was further enhanced.
Ryan could clearly feel that the free flame energy particles around were quickly gathering in front of his palm.
In addition, he was sure that he no longer needed the auxiliary heating of the blacksmith's furnace, but could melt ordinary iron ingots with a melting point of about 1500° by relying solely on the witchcraft "Scorching Touch".
As Ryan's mental power continued to output, the flames of the blacksmith's furnace, which was already burning fiercely, suddenly jumped up, and the furnace temperature rose rapidly!
And the seven or eight iron ingots began to gradually become brighter and softer at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then slowly melted like candles.
A few minutes later, Ryan opened a small gate and injected the boiling iron liquid in the blacksmith's furnace into the clay mold.
After cooling, Ryan picked up the blacksmith's hammer and began to hammer, trimming some rough edges. Finally, he spliced the front and back pieces of iron together to form a complete "muscle-shaped breastplate".
At this time, the system prompt appeared:
[You have forged the lancer breastplate, and the relevant understanding has been improved! ]
[You have learned a new skill - breastplate forging]
[Your skill breastplate forging has been improved, experience value +33]
[You focus on forging lancer breastplates, blacksmith professional experience value +32]
Hiss!
This experience value! This efficiency!
The application of witchcraft in forging is so terrifying!
The key is that this can further speed up.
Ryan has thought of a way.
After he estimated the mental power consumed by the witchcraft's burning touch, he soon asked everyone in the blacksmith shop to help make seven or eight identical clay molds.
Ryan cast the magic "Scorching Touch" again and again, smelting and pouring eight pairs of clay molds continuously, and after cooling, hammering and splicing.
At this time, the system prompts almost refreshed the screen:
[Your skill breastplate forging has been improved, experience value +33]
[You focus on spear cavalry breastplate forging, blacksmith professional experience value +32]
[Your skill breastplate forging has been improved, experience value +30]
[You focus on spear cavalry breastplate forging, blacksmith professional experience value +31]
In addition, after returning home at noon and having lunch with Jennifer, Jenny and his family, Ryan plunged into the blacksmith shop!
Finally, when the bright moonlight illuminated the room, a wonderful system prompt appeared:
[Congratulations, your blacksmith professional level has been improved! ]
As the blacksmith professional level was upgraded to lv5, Ryan gained another attribute point and a skill point.
At this point, the remaining attribute points on the system panel reached 2, and the remaining skill points reached 6, the highest level in history.
After a little thought, Ryan forged the lancer breastplate again.
This time, he only gained 5 points of blacksmith professional level experience. Obviously, after the blacksmith was upgraded to level 5, the professional experience points that could be obtained by making the lancer breastplate were greatly reduced.
So, there was nothing to hesitate about, and Ryan decided to start changing jobs immediately!
[The prerequisites for a blacksmith to be promoted to an armorer are: 1. Blacksmith level 5 or above; 2. Strength 12 points or above, physique 12 points or above; 3. Independently forge any ten qualified plate armor parts! 4. The current conditions for the knowledge of armor casting are met! Yes/No to change to an armorer? ]
[Note: After changing to an armorer, the original blacksmith panel will be integrated into the new armorer professional panel, and the original blacksmith core skills will be retained. ]
If the core skills can be retained, there will be no problem.
After reading it again, Ryan chose yes without hesitation!
[Ding! Successfully changed to an armorer! Strength +2, physique +2! Obtained the core skills of the armorer: armor casting expertise level 1. 】
Hey! There is a new core skill!
Ryan's face lit up immediately!
Because every time a core skill appears, it can almost bring him some kind of immediate strength improvement.
I just don't know if it will be the same this time.
Thanks to the rookie, ZKEY, for the 100 starting coins reward!
