Chapter 437: Walzig Ruins
Soon, Ryan successfully completed the other processes and came to the final drying stage.
"Sir Ryan, it's OK. According to the current weather, after two days of drying, the tanning of the raw sheepskin will be completely completed." Old Henry stroked his beard and smiled with great relief.
At the same time, he couldn't help but look at the dozens of apprentices beside him, and couldn't help thinking that if any of these people could have half the ability of Lord Ryan in front of him, his leathermaking heritage would be carried forward.
"Hmm? Does it need to be dried for two days?" Ryan raised his eyebrows and said.
Two days is too long. He planned to complete the job transfer today.
"Yes, but, Lord Ryan, we can learn the following skills first, such as painting, making, etc." Old Henry didn't quite understand why Ryan suddenly frowned, and explained immediately.
"No, I may have other ways." Ryan said.
Hmm?
The temperature and humidity in the imperial capital really need two days!
Old Henry couldn't figure out how Lord Ryan in front of him planned to dry it.
Suddenly, a scorching hot air formed around, and the moisture on the surface of the raw sheepskin in Ryan's hand evaporated at a visible level.
"This is witchcraft!"
"Lord Ryan is a wizard?!" Old Henry was stunned.
Because Ryan was wearing a noble hunting suit today, he didn't realize that the other party was actually a wizard.
"Use witchcraft to dry fur? Isn't this too extravagant?" The young apprentices on the side looked at the scene in shock, and their movements stopped.
But after being shocked, Old Henry shook his head slightly.
In fact, he was not optimistic about using witchcraft to dry, because even for a first-level wizard, it is still very difficult to control the temperature of witchcraft.
For example, a fireball with a temperature of several thousand degrees, to control it to sixty or seventy degrees to bake raw fur, this is too difficult. In the past, wizards and wizard apprentices of the Snyder family have tried it, but they all failed.
The drying process cannot be done at a high temperature. It is like boiling a soft-boiled egg. The higher the temperature, the faster it will cook.
But what old Henry did not know was that Ryan was using the fire magic 'High Temperature Force Field', a fire magic of the force field type, and the temperature was much lower than other fire magic.
Coupled with Ryan's mental control as a level 3 crystallized wizard, he was able to control the temperature very well and quickly dry the raw fur.
This scene made old Henry's eyes sparkle!
This level of temperature control is amazing!
"It's done, Lord Ryan." After a few minutes, old Henry wiped the dried fur and marveled.
As the processing of these ten raw sheepskins was completed, the system prompt also sounded:
[Detected host promotion to leather craftsman prerequisites: 1. Leather craftsman apprentice level 3 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. All the current conditions are met, yes/no promotion to leather craftsman? 】
【Note: After being promoted to a leatherworker, the new leatherworker occupation panel will cover the original leatherworker apprentice panel. 】
Obviously, there was no need to consider whether to change jobs, and Ryan chose "Yes" without hesitation!
【Ding! Successful promotion! 】
【Successful promotion to leatherworker! Strength +1, Agility +1! Obtained leatherworker core skills: Fur Processing lv1】
【Fur Processing lv1 (Passive): Since you often process fur, the success rate of fur processing has increased. 】
Fur processing?
Well, this is really a classic leatherworking ability enhancement.
At the same time, the original leatherworker apprentice panel has disappeared, and the leatherworker panel has appeared instead, the same white panel.
Below the panel is a brand new icon frame, and the surroundings light up slightly.
Ryan immediately focused his attention on the icon.
The pattern on the icon is a person in a large round vat built of stone, shaking the fur vigorously.
There is a line of small words below the icon:
[Core Skill: Fur Processing LV1 (Passive)]
Fur Processing LV1 (Passive) Effect: Increase the success rate of any fur processing by an additional 10%.
"LV1 means an increase of 10% probability? It's better than nothing." Ryan nodded slightly in his heart.
He naturally couldn't invest his precious skill points in fur processing.
"Master Henry, let's continue to learn the following procedures?" Ryan was in a good mood and turned to Old Henry who was carefully watching him use the "high temperature force field" to quickly dry.
"Oh! Oh! Okay, Lord Ryan, I'm watching the witchcraft you just performed. It seems to be different from ordinary fire witchcraft. The temperature is not very high, and the air flow is also more violent."
"It's simply a great witchcraft to speed up drying! The old man can't talk."
At this time, Old Henry suddenly remembered the reminder of Lord Luther before, and he realized that the young man in front of him was not his apprentice, but a strong man like Lord Luther.
It is obviously very impolite and offensive to say that the other party's witchcraft is extremely suitable for leather making.
"It's okay, Master Henry. You are focused on improving the leather making process, which is admirable." Ryan naturally didn't mind the other party's unintentional offense, let alone the other party's focus on something.
"Master Ryan, shall we continue to learn the subsequent skills, or take a break first?"
"Go on, Master Henry."
"Okay, Master Ryan, let's continue. Next, we have to paint the cooked fur. One is to prevent insects and moths, and it can also increase the service life."
"Different paints have different effects." Old Henry introduced while leading the way.
The paint treatment is also a very smelly process.
But this is not difficult for Ryan, because for the most difficult paint ratio in this link, the degree of precision that a legendary strongman can control is far beyond that of ordinary people.
And the next step is to use leather materials of different materials to create specific leather goods.
This is also what a leatherworker should do in the perception of ordinary people.
Of course, generally speaking, a leatherworker will dig deep and strengthen a certain subdivision field that he is good at, such as the subdivision professions such as bootmakers and leather armorers.
This is just like the blacksmith profession system that Ryan had contacted before, in the middle period there will be subdivisions such as swordsmiths, armorsmiths, etc., thus moving towards different subdivisions of expertise.
"Lord Ryan, which part do you think you are more interested in making?" Old Henry pointed to the various leather armor products hanging on the wall in the workshop and asked.
Ryan scanned the various leather armor parts hanging on the wall and soon found a leather armor jacket that he thought might bring him a higher experience value return.
"This leather jacket is fine."
The leather jacket Ryan pointed to had many carved patterns on the surface, but this was naturally no pressure for him. This kind of carved pattern not only had similar skills among tailors before, but also had more and more complicated inscriptions.
According to Ryan's previous experience, "breastplate" and "complex craftsmanship" often bring higher experience points.
"This is a carved leather jacket, which is of medium difficulty to make, mainly because the carvings on both sides are time-consuming and laborious." Old Henry said while looking at Ryan's expression.
In theory, this kind of carved leather jacket is for junior leather armor craftsmen who have been engaged in leather making for several years and have already entered the door to learn to make, but for Ryan, who has just been in contact with leather making for a few hours, Old Henry did not think that he could stump him, so he started teaching directly.
A quarter of an hour later, Ryan began to make it, and when the finished product came out, the system prompt also sounded:
[You have made a carved leather jacket, and your relevant comprehension has improved! 】
【You have learned a new skill - making a carved leather jacket】
【Your skill in making a carved leather jacket has been improved, and your experience points are +12】
【You have successfully made a carved leather jacket, and your leatherworker professional experience points are +10】
"Successful in one go?" Old Henry rubbed his eyes and was even more surprised when he saw the carved lines on it, because even if he did it, the lines would not be smoother than this one.
Fortunately, a strong man like Lord Ryan would not enter the leatherworking industry to grab a job, otherwise, all of them would have nothing to eat!
With such a generous experience value reward, two hours later, Ryan upgraded the leatherworker professional level from lv1 to lv4 (690/1000), and gained 3 attribute points and 3 skill points again.
So far, he now has a total of 9 attribute points remaining, which can be considered to be able to ensure support for a high-intensity battle in the fourth form.
The remaining skill points are 8 points, which is only 3 points away from the 11 skill points required to upgrade the new sorcery 'Sawtooth Ring' to lv12 at one time.
But it was already close to noon.
Ryan thought about it and said goodbye to old Henry, saying that he would come back tomorrow.
In the afternoon, he planned to go to the school to meet with his mentor Mogaro.
Because in recent times, the speed of his mental power crystallization has far exceeded expectations, which means that he has to put the fourth-level Iron Heart Advanced Meditation Method on the agenda.
Bixiu Construction School Station.
In Mogaro's office.
After a brief greeting, mentor Mogaro said with a rare serious expression: "Ryan, you came at the right time. I wanted Audrey to find you for something very important."
"Teacher, please speak." Ryan also sat up slightly and said.
"It's like this. The fourth level of the Iron Heart Meditation Method that I mentioned to you last time has now been solved."
"Oh? That's good." Ryan smiled and frowned.
Of course, he also knew that mentor Mogaro's face was so serious, it should be that some subsequent link encountered difficulties.
But this was a coincidence, he was originally planning to ask about this matter.
Sure enough, Mogaro said, "After this period of preliminary exploration and clarification, the school can basically determine that there is a more than 50% probability that the complete inheritance of this meditation method will be found in the ruins of Walzig."
"It's just that the danger level in the ruins is very high. We judged from the remaining witch arrays and puppet golems that the ruins should be the main station of the ancient Walzig school."
"At present, only the periphery has been explored, but even so, the school leader, Lord Moria, was slightly injured during the exploration."
"Oh, by the way, Ryan, you haven't seen the school leader Lord Moria, right? He has been busy exploring the ruins for nearly half a year." Mogaro patted his forehead and said.
"Originally, there was an exploration team affiliated with the military, but it withdrew two months ago because of other tasks. At present, only our Bixiu Construction School is responsible for this matter, so Lord Moria has been busy there."
"Teacher, I really haven't seen the school leader." Ryan nodded and said.
No wonder the school leader of his own school has been elusive.
"However, Ryan, Lord Moria knows that you have joined the school. I sent a message to him a long time ago. In addition, he is also a metal wizard, so he is very happy that you have joined the school." Mogaro said with a smile.
"By the way, let's talk about the ruins again. The problem now is that in order to enter the core area of the ruins, according to Lord Moria's conclusion, a rare treasure 'Ancient Tree Heart' is needed. With this treasure, he has a 70% chance of breaking the remaining protective magic array."
"Ancient Tree Heart? It seems to be a treasure produced by elves, right?" Ryan thought for a while and asked.
He had seen relevant records in ancient books.
"Yes, in fact, this is not a big problem." Mogaro nodded and said.
"Because the Walzig ruins are near Ferdinand Forest, there is still a chance to trade this treasure with the elves through some secret trading channels."
"Huh? Right next to Ferdinand Forest?" Ryan was stunned.
He didn't expect the location of this ruins to be near Ferdinand Forest.
"Well, but the problem is that there are at least two different cult forces near the ruins. In addition, there is a problem with the elves. The people who were originally in contact with our school suddenly have no news." Mogaro frowned and said.
"Is it because of the cult?" Ryan frowned slightly and said.
"Well, it's very likely. But now we are not very clear about the other party's target, whether it is the ruins or the elves." Mogaro nodded and said.
This is why he found Ryan, because he knew that his disciple was an imperial gold-level sword bearer, who had a good understanding of the major cults and had rich combat experience.
"Teacher, I understand what you mean. You want me to go to the ruins to ensure the safety of the ruins exploration, right?"
"That's right, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. You are the only one with the strongest metal combat power."
"Teacher, there is basically no problem on my side. In addition, I should be able to let the sword bearer headquarters issue it in the form of a task, which may be better."
If there is a chance to find the original fourth level of the Iron Heart Advanced Meditation Method, it will naturally be Ryan's first choice.
"That's great." Mogaro reacted immediately after hearing this, and couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"Then I'll explain the situation to the sect leader later. By the way, Ryan, when can you leave?" Mogaro said with a smile.
"Teacher, within two days, is that okay?" Ryan thought for a moment and said.
He had to explain this matter to the headquarters first. At his level, leaving the imperial capital Tamriel requires reporting.
In addition, he plans to upgrade the leatherworker to 11 skill points. By then, he can directly use the new sorcery 'Sawtooth Ring' to form combat power.
"Good! That's great!"
Half an hour later.
When Ryan returned to the mansion and finished his meal, his full-time contact Olena came to visit.
In the study.
"Lord Ryan, I heard from Lady Tatia about your outstanding performance in the secret realm. It's really amazing." The capable young woman smiled and praised her boss.
"Thank you. Although there were some problems in the middle, it was finally handled." Ryan smiled and said.
"My lord, I came here to report a few news to you."
"First of all, it's a happy event. I received news that since His Majesty the Emperor is still recovering from his injuries, the Senate decided that this year's honor ceremony for earls and above will be postponed. The specific time will be notified separately."
"However, your earldom has been conferred, and the people from the enthronement committee should come to your mansion in the next two days."
Ryan nodded to show that he understood.
"Secondly, when the Dragon Valley secret realm was opened the day before yesterday, many places in the suburbs of the imperial capital Tamriel were attacked by the cult. Although they were eventually defeated and cleared, it was discovered that the other party's ultimate goal was to enter the secret realm."
As Olena told the story, Ryan couldn't help but nodded.
So that's it. In this case, the whole thing is connected.
"The incarnation of the goddess of the underworld was besieged by the imperial guardians and left after being injured. However, the dragon companion of Her Majesty the Red Queen Menia, the red dragon Thassa, was severely injured."
"Oh? Are you sure it was Her Majesty Menia's dragon?"
"The intelligence department of the headquarters has verified that it is correct."
"Yes, I see." Ryan couldn't help but think of the red dragon scales that His Highness Menia gave him before. They were the scales of the red dragon Thassa.
He was thinking whether he should go and visit them.
"As for the third thing, the cult activities are becoming more and more frequent. Last time you told me that we should focus on several provinces in Ferdinand Forest. The current situation is a bit wrong."
"According to the intelligence of the local branch, several cult masters led a team into Ferdinand Forest, and their suspected target is the elves."
"Hmm? Tell me more about it." Ryan raised his eyebrows, straightened up, and said.
This just happened to confirm what his mentor Mogaro had said to him.
"Because Ferdinand Forest is a gathering place for elves, according to the agreement between the Empire and the elves at the beginning of the founding of the country, it is not allowed to enter at will, so the specific purpose of these cult leaders is still unclear."
"But according to the judgment of the Intelligence Hall, the dominant cult among the cults is an ancient cult organization called the Mother Tree Cult. The history of the struggle between the other party and the elves can be traced back thousands of years."
"As for other cult organizations, they are likely to be invited by this Mother Tree Cult.
" "How long has this situation been happening?"
"The Mother Tree Cult's actions in Ferdinand Forest should have started several months ago, but they are relatively secretive. This time, the actions of other cult organizations entered Ferdinand Forest one after another about a few days ago."
Hearing this news, Ryan couldn't help but stand up and paced back and forth in the study. What
he was worried about at the moment was not the problem of the ruins, but Anna.
From this point of view, the injury of Anna's aunt, Ms. Delanna, was probably not an accident, but an attack from the Mother Tree Cult or a continuation of some attack.
Then Anna's current situation is not optimistic!
Let the Ereda sisters go to Ferdinand Forest immediately?
Not appropriate!
The two were originally high-ranking members of the Secret Snake Cult. Once their whereabouts are exposed, they will most likely attract a crazy attack from the Secret Snake Cult.
Apostasy is unacceptable even in the Goddess Church, let alone in a cult. It is very likely that they will be sentenced to death!
Not only can the two sisters not save people, but they may also be in danger themselves.
"Has the headquarters made any decision on the situation in Ferdinand Forest?" Ryan stopped and turned to ask.
"It is still under discussion, because the elf ambassador stationed in the imperial capital has not requested assistance from the empire, so the headquarters' order is to let the provincial branches strengthen intelligence gathering."
"Contact Major General Tatia and tell her that I want to go to Ferdinand Forest."
