Chapter 436: Rocket-like Promotion of New Occupations
Two hours ago.
The mansion of the Durham family.
"My Lord, Lord Lambert is outside the door." A servant ran in urgently to report.
"Oh? Please come in!" Duke Durham said with joy.
When he heard that Lambert had returned safely, the first thing that came to Duke Durham's mind was that Ryan was finished.
Because in his opinion, only one of Lambert and Ryan should be able to return alive from the secret realm.
Now that Lambert has returned safely, is there any need to say what will happen to Ryan?
"Sir Lambert, congratulations on your safe return." Duke Durham saw Lambert with his arms folded across his chest and a greatsword on his back. He immediately smiled and opened his arms, wanting to hug him.
"Hurry, arrange it, and make the dinner more sumptuous."
"No, my Lord, I just want to say that I am no match for Lord Ryan. If he hadn't shown mercy, I would not have been able to come back. So, I'm sorry." Lambert relaxed his shoulders and said.
"What!" This made the smile on Duke Drum's face freeze immediately, and the posture of raising his arms froze in place.
"Sir Lambert, please forgive me for offending you, you really didn't hold back?" Duke Drum, who came to his senses, asked unwillingly.
After all, the Sir Lambert in front of him can be said to be a small group of top legendary powerhouses second only to the Guardian of the Empire.
However, Drum's words made Lambert's face solemn, and he said:
"Duke Drum, you are questioning the character of a sword master disciple!"
Suddenly, a unique sharp sword belief suddenly rose in the air with Lambert as the center, and a pressure that seemed to be real swept across the scene.
At this time, a man in black leather armor holding a dagger flashed behind Duke Drum, and he was seen waving the dagger and standing in front of the Duke.
But Lambert didn't even draw the two-handed sword behind him, just staring with his eyes, and immediately made the Duke's personal guard groan and retreat several steps.
"Sword faith of this degree"
With the eyesight of Duke Drum, he naturally saw some clues, and his face immediately became serious.
The strength of this Lord Lambert is much stronger than he imagined.
Then the strength of Ryan is...
"Sorry, Lord Lambert, I am rude." Duke Drum smiled bitterly and said.
"Duke Drum, Lord Ryan's strength is even higher than mine. Although I know that the Drum family has the protection of Lord 'Baoyun', I still suggest that you don't provoke Lord Ryan again." "
If you continue to provoke, I believe that one day, Lord 'Baoyun' may not be able to protect the Drum family." After saying that, Lambert's figure flashed and disappeared in front of Duke Drum.
Duke Drum, who stayed in place, had a bitter face, but his heart was even more bitter. He didn't expect that the strong man he had placed high hopes on and invited would eventually become a supporter of that guy Ryan. This is simply...
However, after carefully pondering Lambert's words, Duke Drum was even more shocked.
Could it be that Ryan's strength is about to enter the level of the Imperial Guardian?
But this shouldn't be the case, this is too unreasonable!
The next morning.
Ryan was eating breakfast while thinking about learning leather making.
The Chamber of Commerce managed by the beautiful woman Jennifer naturally has leather shops, and not only leather shops, but also tailor shops and blacksmith shops, but the problem is that these shops are all in Munster.
The last time Ryan learned tailoring, the Yulis Tailor Shop was also in Munster.
"You can consider letting Jennifer expand some business in the imperial capital."
With his current strength, it is naturally no problem to support a small or medium-sized chamber of commerce, or even a large chamber of commerce, but in order to develop healthily, the chamber of commerce should find a business model that suits itself.
In this regard, Ryan believes that the beautiful woman Jennifer's talent and skills in business are no problem.
"In that case, let's find Luther."
"One of the important trade items of the Snyder family, where Luther belongs, is fur from the North. There should be large leather workshops and leather shops in the imperial capital."
Ryan quickly thought of who to find.
The inner ring of the imperial capital.
The Snyder family mansion.
"Sir Ryan, do you want to learn leatherworking?" Luther stared at Ryan with wide eyes.
When the re-examination ended last night, he received the latest news that Sir Ryan had returned early for special reasons and failed to enter the top six of the re-examination.
Could it be that he wanted to learn leatherworking to divert his mood because he was too depressed and frustrated?
"Well, Lord Ryan, actually, according to the current trend, the selection of dragon knights does not have to wait for another five years. Perhaps, there will be another chance in two or three years. Look at me, I have been selected twice..."
Ryan was a little confused by Luther's words at first, but he understood it immediately. He smiled and waved his hand, interrupting Luther's comfort, and said:
"Lord Luther, you misunderstood. Although I did not enter the top six in the re-examination, I have been compensated because I was carrying out the imperial mission, and I have the opportunity to make the final two-way selection."
"Huh? Then you..." Luther was stunned!
Why is this?
"Hehe, I learn leatherworking purely because I want to learn leatherworking. What's wrong, Lord Luther, is it inconvenient for you?" Ryan said with a smile.
"Of course there is no problem, but Lord Ryan, you may have to be mentally prepared. The smell in the leatherworking workshop is a bit strong." Luther said hurriedly.
Although he still found it a little hard to believe that a strong man with the strength of the legendary peak would actually want to learn the smelly leatherworking, but Ryan did not seem to be joking, and Luther would naturally do his best to satisfy him.
"Well, I already knew something before I came. Can we set off now?" Ryan nodded and smiled.
"Of course! By the way, I haven't congratulated Lord Ryan for entering the final double selection. The Dragon Knight is just around the corner! I'm so envious." Luther couldn't help but sigh.
"Thank you, Lord Luther, I believe you will become a Dragon Knight in the near future."
Soon, Ryan and Luther took a carriage to a leather workshop located in the sixth ring of the imperial capital.
Since the leather making process, whether it is tanning or painting, will produce a strong pungent smell, so leather workshops are generally built on the outskirts of the city.
Of course, the leather shops that specifically sell leather armor are naturally in the bustling trade area, and this point cannot be confused.
When Ryan got off the carriage, he immediately smelled a distinct odor, which was stronger than he expected.
"It stinks!" Luther, who got off the car later, frowned and said.
The leather workshop that came into Ryan's eyes covered a large area, about several thousand square meters. According to Luther's introduction in the carriage, it was the largest leather workshop of the Snyder family in the imperial capital.
All kinds of furs sent from the north are tanned, colored, processed, and finally decorated or inscribed here.
At this time, a sturdy old man with half of his sleeves lifted and two other leaders in linen robes quickly stepped forward and bowed and said, "Lord Luther, why are you here in person?"
"Sir Ryan, this is the leather master and the head of the workshop, Old Henry. He has been making leather all his life and has rich experience." Luther introduced.
"Old Henry, this is Lord Ryan. He wants to understand and learn the crafts related to leather making. Your next task is to do this well. For Lord Ryan's questions, you must tell him everything you know and don't hold back."
"Ah? Is this Lord Ryan going to learn leather making?" Old Henry looked at Ryan, then at Luther, with an expression of disbelief on his face.
What a joke?
This lord is obviously of extraordinary status and may be as strong as Lord Luther.
Come to learn the smelly leather making?
Isn't this a serious brain disease?
"Are there any problems?" Luther's face turned serious and he turned to Old Henry and said.
"Master Luther, it's not that I don't want to teach, but this leather work is really too dirty. Master Ryan is afraid..." Old Henry was a straightforward person and immediately got into trouble.
"Master Henry, if I can't stand it, I will take the initiative to stop in the middle. Do you think it's okay?" At this time, Ryan stepped forward and smiled and comforted him.
Seeing what Ryan said, Old Henry knew that he couldn't refuse anymore.
"Okay, Master Ryan, how about we start tomorrow?" Old Henry nodded and said with a tangled face.
However, he had already decided in his heart that he would get everyone in the workshop to move later, clean up, and spray some perfume, so that he could welcome Master Ryan to learn tomorrow.
"No, Master Henry, let's start now." Ryan waved his hand and said.
"Now?" Old Henry was shocked. Isn't this guy too impatient?
No, are you really going to learn?
"Well, look at such a large leather workshop, it should be 24 hours a day, and there are leather materials being processed in every link." Ryan pointed to dozens of apprentices who were constantly soaking, rubbing, and scraping furs, and said.
"Old Henry, follow what Mr. Ryan said, you take us now." Luther frowned and said.
"Okay, Lord Luther. Then Lord Ryan, please follow me." Old Henry said helplessly.
Although Ryan did not say that Luther should go back first, Luther was quite curious about his learning leather making, so the group soon came to the first step of the leather making process, "soaking".
In a warehouse where a large number of raw furs were stored, the apprentices were moving the furs out, shaking them out, and putting them into a large round water tank for soaking in clean water.
"Lord Ryan, these are salted raw furs shipped from the tundra. They need to be soaked in clean water for a day to remove the salt that was sprinkled during transportation," said old Henry.
Ryan looked at it and nodded. This process was not technical and easy to understand.
Then, old Henry began to introduce the next item:
"This is a dehairing pool with a mixture of cow urine as the main ingredient."
Although it was also a soaking process, this time the soaking was in tanning liquid, a mixture of cow urine as the main ingredient, in order to remove fat and blood. At the same time, the apprentices had to quickly wash the fur in the tanning liquid several times.
This process began to have some technical content.
Because the tanning liquid used to remove fat and blood from raw fur is highly corrosive, this is a test of hand speed for leatherwork apprentices.
The speed needs to be fast enough, otherwise, the skin of the palm will be corroded.
"This is a softening pool with a mixture of pigeon droppings as the main ingredient." Old Henry pointed to another row of large pools on the side and said.
"It needs to be soaked in the softening pool for two days to further soften and remove hair."
Luther, who was standing by, was almost vomiting from the smoke.
He swore that if it wasn't for accompanying Ryan, he would never get so close to this manure pool!
Although this was all his family's business, to be honest, he had never learned about the production process of the leather workshop in detail.
Because every profession has its own specialty, as a titled knight and the rising star of the Snyder family, his daily focus is to improve his combat effectiveness. Business matters like these are all taken care of by a dedicated person.
"What a freak!"
However, when he saw Ryan watching with great interest, Luther could only resist the churning in his stomach and persevere, but he couldn't avoid complaining in his heart.
"This is considered the front process of leather making. During the soaking and dehairing process, the skinning process must be repeated in the middle."
Old Henry pointed to the more than ten apprentices standing on the slatted board and scraping off fat and residual hair with thick-bladed knives, and introduced.
Ryan looked around and basically understood the process of tanning raw fur and turning it into tanned fur, which is about five steps: soaking in clean water, soaking in cow urine, soaking in pigeon manure, scraping, and drying.
"It seems that it was right to learn blacksmithing first when I was in Shining Gold Town. The leather-making environment here is too harsh. If the body's resistance is not strong, it is easy to get sick." Ryan couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"Master Henry, I plan to try it." Ryan pointed to an apprentice who was washing raw fur in a large round earthen vat and said.
Hearing that such an lord who was obviously a noble in front of them was going to enter the large vat of cow urine mixture and wash raw fur like them, all the leatherworker apprentices were stunned and looked at Ryan stupidly.
"Master Ryan. This."
Ryan smiled, and before old Henry came back to his senses, he took the initiative to pick up the half-length coat made of thick waterproof leather beside him and put it on.
Soon, Ryan stepped into the large vat in the astonished eyes of everyone and began to rub a piece of sheepskin.
Luther, who was standing by, also stared at Ryan with wide eyes.
He never thought that Ryan really wanted to learn leatherworking, and learn it by himself!
As for Ryan, because the metal energy particles had already covered his palms, these corrosive liquids did not cause any harm to him at all.
He shook quickly and immediately cleaned the fat and hair on the raw fur. Then, he placed the goat skin on the inclined board and picked up the file to gently scrape away the last remaining hair and dirt.
Even if it was his first time, Ryan, who had a legendary peak of super physical control and perception, was more meticulous and professional than those leatherwork apprentices who had worked for several years.
"This Lord Ryan is really a natural leatherworker." Old Henry on the side couldn't help but sigh.
"Don't talk nonsense!" Luther, who was standing by, stared at Ryan's actions, but when he heard what Old Henry said, he immediately came to his senses and whispered a rebuke.
"Ah! Right! Right! Alas, Lord Luther, I just feel that when I reached Lord Ryan's current level, I had already learned leatherworking for at least two years."
"Forget about Lord Ryan's control. You won't understand even if I tell you this. Old Henry, remember this. Treat Lord Ryan with more respect than you treat me. Do you understand?"
"Understood, Lord Luther." Old Henry nodded repeatedly.
As if he had completely understood what Old Henry had just explained, Ryan only scraped a piece of raw sheepskin, and the system prompt rang:
[You have tanned sheepskin, and your understanding has improved! ]
[You have learned a new skill - Tanning]
[Your skill in tanning has been improved, and your experience value is +1]
[Congratulations! You have triggered the career panel - leatherworker apprentice]
"Sure enough, it has been triggered, and as expected, it is an apprentice-level career panel!" Ryan thought.
Ryan glanced at the new career panel. Although 'Leatherworker Apprentice' was the least conspicuous blank board among all the extraordinary career panels and had no light, he was quite happy at this moment.
Because this means that the follow-up of the leatherworking career path is likely to be similar to tailoring, and it is possible to change jobs multiple times.
In other words, he will gain a lot of skill points and attribute points in the future.
"Sir Luther, you go back to your own business first." Ryan naturally noticed Luther who was choked by the stench, and smiled immediately.
"Okay! Old Henry, Sir Ryan must take good care of this." Luther thought about it and nodded.
"Don't worry, Lord Luther, it is an honor for me that Lord Ryan is willing to learn leatherworking skills!" Old Henry bowed to see him off.
"Sir Ryan, this workshop is your workshop. You can use any materials you want, and it will be on me." Luther deliberately gave another reminder before turning around and leaving.
And then it was Ryan's real performance time.
Since the leatherworker apprentice career panel has been generated, Ryan naturally has no reason not to improve quickly.
With Ryan's physical strength, he might not feel tired even if he does not rest for a week to carry out the current process.
Therefore, with the help of the core skill "Focus" of the Witch Pattern Tailor (Extraordinary), Ryan was scraping fur while gaining a lot of experience points.
After Luther left, it took Ryan only two hours to upgrade the leatherworker apprentice from lv1 to lv3, gaining two attribute points and two skill points.
The two piles of shaved raw fur next to him were the fruits of Ryan's labor.
Adding his original remaining points, his remaining skill points now increased to 5 points, which was 6 points short of the 11 points required to upgrade the new witchcraft "Sawtooth Ring" at one time.
However, just now, the system prompts the job transfer information has also appeared:
[Preconditions for promotion to leatherworker are: 1. Leatherworker apprentice lv3 full level; 2. Agility 5 points or more, strength 5 points or more, constitution 5 points or more; 3. Produce any ten pieces of qualified cooked fur! . The current conditions are not met! Promotion to leatherworker failed! 】
Since Ryan was just doing the skinning process, it was not considered that he had produced a finished fur.
"Master Henry, I will select a few sheepskins for the subsequent process. If there are any deficiencies, please help me point them out immediately."
"Of course, no problem, Master Ryan." Under Luther's instructions, old Henry naturally responded to the request of Master Ryan in front of him.
