Chapter 518: Romeo in the Past
In the box was the first badge Ryan had obtained from the Sword Bearer branch in Munster Province - the bronze badge. This was specially sent by Olena to Munster as quickly as possible after she contacted them.
There were naturally many such personal items in Ryan's mansion, but Olena did not want to make Ryan's family too worried before the situation was clear, so she did not reveal this news to Ryan's family. The personal items were also sent from the Sword Bearer branch in Munster.
When the great astrologer Dallion took the wooden box and took out the bronze badge inside, he was slightly stunned. Obviously, a bronze badge of a sword bearer seemed too far away from Ryan's current identity. However, he did not say anything and immediately began to cast a spell.
A few minutes later
, "Sir Ryan is still alive, but the starlight is dim, which should be due to the serious injury after the battle." After Dallion finished casting the spell, his face was slightly relieved and he said.
According to the intelligence, he naturally thought that Ryan was seriously injured, not for other reasons.
"The question is, why did His Majesty Reginald say that he couldn't find Lord Ryan?" General Augustus frowned and asked.
"Even if Lord Ryan has a magical device like the Shielding Magic Array, it doesn't make sense. The Federation has already launched a carpet search and almost counted how many ants there are on the island called Reef Island."
"This." Augustus's question, the great astrologer Dallion couldn't answer it at once.
In fact, there was one thing he didn't say, that is, when he used the great astrology to divination Ryan just now, he found that the difficulty of searching for the other party was extremely great, even higher than the search for His Highness Menia just now.
This means that from a certain perspective, Ryan's strength is higher than His Highness Menia, but how is this possible?
His Highness Menia is the strength of the late Dawn Wizard, and he also has royal blood and is a veteran dragon knight of the empire.
Dallion couldn't figure it out for a while.
The key is that the strength of the divination object is related to the accuracy of the divination.
All divination techniques, whether it is great astrology or other techniques such as crystal ball divination, water grass divination, etc., if the divination object is stronger than the caster, the accuracy of the divination will be greatly affected.
Therefore, the divination accuracy that Dallion can achieve can only be to this extent.
At this time, Elder Ivan of the Senate thought for a while and said:
"According to Reginald, they arrived near the island almost at the same time as the Poseidon Cult after the explosion, but at that time, there was no trace of the incarnation of the goddess of the underworld, Menia and Ryan." "
Then is it possible that the incarnation of the goddess of the underworld defeated the two people, controlled them, and returned to the temple in the sea?"
Elder Ivan's words made the hall fall into silence, and everyone present fell into thinking.
Yes!
It's not impossible!
After all, if it was on the island, even if Ryan had a shielding magic formation, he would have found it long ago if he searched inch by inch.
After thinking for a while, Marshal Alfred asked, "Your Highness Dallion, can you determine the approximate range of Lord Ryan now?"
"Yes, he should still be near the sea area of the Federation." Dallion nodded and said.
"In this case, I agree with Elder Ivan's opinion. It is very likely that the incarnation of the goddess of the underworld seriously injured His Highness Menia and Ryan, and took both of them to the underwater temple." Marshal Alfred said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, everyone thought about it and showed a look of sudden realization.
"Well, in this case, it corresponds to the anomaly shown by the Great Astrology." The great astrologer Dallion also nodded and said.
The three people with the highest strength and status at the scene agreed, and naturally the others nodded one after another. Even if there were still some small doubts in their hearts, they could only keep them.
After all, this is at least good news!
It means that Ryan is still alive, and as for His Highness Menia, it seems that he should not have completely died!
With the guidance of the astrologer's platform, the top leaders of the empire were in a dilemma after research.
Although the approximate scope is determined, the headquarters of the Poseidon Cult is on the seabed. Unlike the land, which is easier to search, the situation in the ocean is complicated and it is still very difficult to find it.
Secondly, even if the location of the Temple of the Goddess of the Underworld is found, a fierce battle will inevitably break out. If the number of strong people going there is not enough, it is estimated that they will encounter danger.
But the problem is that after the Ferdinand Forest incident, the activities of major cults in the current empire are becoming more and more frequent. Almost every imperial guardian has his own province or region to be stationed. Only the imperial capital Tamriel has multiple guardians on standby.
However, after the last battle in the imperial capital, this number of imperial guardians is necessary.
"In this case, let the Senate send someone to go." Elder Ivan looked around and made a decision.
The news of the high-level meeting soon spread among the small circle of the imperial high-level.
Many top nobles were always a little skeptical when they heard the news, especially in the report from Reginald, the words used were mostly "suspected" and "possible", but now it is different.
The news was confirmed by His Majesty Darien, the empire's leading astrologer!
In the luxurious study on the second floor of the Duke of Drum's mansion.
"Hahaha, this Ryan is arrogant and lawless! Now he has been defeated and imprisoned by the incarnation of the goddess of the underworld. Even if he is alive, he can never return to the empire!"
"It's a pity for Your Highness Menia." After receiving the news, Duke Drum slapped his mahogany desk hard, his face flushed with joy, and he was very excited.
It's not that he is not cunning, but it's related to his son Greenwood who was killed by Ryan!
He thought that his son's revenge would never be avenged, after all, Ryan's strength improvement speed was too terrifying, but he didn't expect that such a "happy event" would happen during a normal visit.
"My Lord Duke, in this case, Master Greenwood's great revenge can be regarded as avenged!" The new butler on the side smiled and complimented.
"No, it's far from enough!" Duke Drum, who quickly calmed down his excitement, thought for a moment, shook his head, and said.
"Go and investigate which people and forces have joined Ryan's army before. I want to eliminate them one by one, and then completely eliminate his family!"
"Uh, Duke, the other party's family seems to have settled in the imperial capital and has the special protection of the imperial sword bearers. In addition, if we take action now, isn't it too conspicuous?"
"So, start with the other party's forces first. As for his family, don't be in a hurry. Take your time and wait until people gradually forget about him." Duke Drum said with a grim smile on his face.
"By the way, remember to inform Marquis Orenz. His family had a conflict with Ryan before, and also lost shares in the Münster branch of the Axon Auction House."
"Praise your Lordship, you always make the wisest decisions." The butler complimented.
Under the reef island.
On the shore of the underwater volcanic magma lake.
In fact, Menia had woken up not long after Ryan picked her up.
However, she felt the warm breath of Ryan in front of her, and there was something sticking under her plump buttocks, which made Menia completely unsure of how to deal with this situation.
In fact, after Menia's consciousness was separated by Ryan again and returned to her body, she didn't know how to face a person who knew almost most of her secrets.
She was a woman, but the one who knew her secrets was a man.
A young man with extraordinary strength and also with the blood of a multi-headed dragon.
Because Ryan had a system, he actually did not have the blood of a multi-headed dragon, but only had the ability of "multiple heads", but Menia obviously couldn't know this. Naturally, judging from the appearance, she thought that Ryan had the blood of a multi-headed dragon.
For a moment, Ryan seemed to be the one she had fallen in love with in her girlhood.
After all, tragedies like Romeo and Juliet are the most memorable for people.
Menia was like this, and she couldn't get over this hurdle in her heart, but at this moment, she seemed to see the Romeo in her heart.
So, facing Ryan's rudeness, even that kiss, Menia didn't know how to react correctly.
Reject?
It seems that I can't say it instinctively.
As for agreeing?
She is much older than Ryan.
Menia's thoughts drifted for a long time, and finally gathered back and entered a deep state of meditation again.
On the other side, Ryan naturally didn't know what Menia was thinking.
Taking advantage of Menia's deep meditation, he first studied the goblin engineering knowledge that he had forced himself to remember in his mind, and then came to the exposed ore on the lava rock wall.
"Bang!"
Ryan's fist broke the surface of the ore with a little force. The thick dark gray solidified rock layer was the crystallization of high-temperature magma on the surface of the ore. It was extremely hard, but it was naturally not enough in front of Ryan.
"Hey, is this black iron ore? Or a rich ore!"
Although different minerals have different standards for defining rich ore, the black iron ore in front of him has a content of more than 60%, which can be considered a rich ore in any ore.
After a brief thought, Ryan pressed his palm, which was emitting a rich dark silver light, onto the black iron ore that was more than one meter long and protruding on the lava rock wall.
As the light of Ryan's palm flashed, the black iron in the black iron ore slowly seeped out like mercury, and quickly gathered into a sphere in the palm of Ryan's hand.
But this is not over yet.
Because the metal contained in the black iron ore is definitely not just black iron, but also includes a small amount of other metals, such as copper and tin. Therefore, at this moment, in addition to the black iron ball, four metal balls of different sizes and colors have formed in the palm of Ryan's hand.
They are copper balls, tin balls, silver balls and gold balls.
This is one of the abilities of Ryan after he entered the fourth-level Dawn Wizard. The super affinity of metal element particles and the surging mental power of the Dawn Wizard level allow him to do this easily.
Although he could do this before when he was at the crystallized wizard level, it was quite laborious and could only be done one at a time. Now it was much easier, as simple as eating and drinking.
"Bang!"
Soon, a ball made of hundreds of kilograms of pure black iron was placed in front of Ryan, followed by four other small metal balls falling on the ground.
Ryan first looked at the five metal balls, then looked at the hundreds of protruding raw ore not far away, with a thoughtful look on his face.
"This is a good thing, maybe I can gather the raw materials and start making mechanical creations for goblin engineering."
Ryan's eyes flickered, and he immediately thought of something.
"However, these few metals in front of me are far from enough."
A moment later, Ryan's figure flashed and he came to another dark gray raw ore protruding from the rock wall. After a light smash, he operated it in the same way as before when dealing with black iron ore.
"Hey, this is magic iron ore!"
Ryan's eyes lit up after a quick inspection. He thought that most of the ore here was one kind, but he didn't expect that there were other ores distributed.
"Great! It seems that the plan is feasible!"
Soon, Ryan had gathered seven or eight rare and more than ten common metal materials. He didn't expect that the types of ores in the submarine volcano were so rich, which was enough for him to try to make while learning Goblin Engineering.
Ryan used magic iron as the main material according to the ratio, mixed a small amount of copper and tin to form an alloy, and then began to use the fire magic 'Scorching Touch' he had mastered before to smelt it.
After cooling, he quickly performed metal deformation and transformed the magic iron alloy into a rifle-like shape according to the newly learned Goblin Engineering introductory drawings. Other gun assembly accessories were also transformed by Ryan one by one.
At this time, the system prompt also sounded:
[You have made the primary Goblin Engineering creation 'Magic Iron Rifle', and the relevant comprehension has been improved! 】
【You have mastered a new skill - Magic Iron Rifle】
【Your skill in making Magic Iron Rifle has been improved, experience value +10】
【You have successfully made a primary Goblin Engineering artifact 'Magic Iron Rifle'. Since the host has not yet changed his job to Goblin Engineer, the progress of Goblin Engineering comprehension has increased by 1%】
"Great!" Ryan looked at the system prompt and couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"Sure enough, learning this thing is not enough just by reading. You have to apply what you have learned and combine theory with practice!"
"This efficiency has been greatly improved!"
You should know that Ryan had spent several hours on his own learning before, and only improved his progress by one percentage point. But just now, he spent less than ten minutes to make a Magic Iron Rifle, and immediately improved it by one percentage point.
Now the progress of 'Mastering Goblin Engineering Related Knowledge' has reached 65%.
The next day, when Ryan was making a new Goblin Engineering artifact 'Adamantine Stabilizer', he suddenly heard a delicate snort from Menia.
Ryan immediately stopped what he was doing and turned around to see Menia frowning slightly, holding her smooth and white forehead and slowly standing up.
"Your Highness Menia, how do you feel?" Ryan stepped forward and asked with concern.
In fact, without asking, Ryan had already sensed that although Menia's mental stability was much better than three days ago, it still fluctuated violently. In addition, the strength of the other party's mental strength also showed a certain degree of decline.
"Not yet, my strength has been declining, Ryan. How many days have passed? I may need more time." Menia glanced at Ryan quickly, then lowered her head, her beautiful eyes flickering, and she was a little afraid to look at Ryan.
"Your Highness Menia, three days have passed."
"If you want to continue deep meditation to recover, why not eat something first? There is a fire beast here, which may be of some benefit to your physical recovery." Ryan suggested.
Although the fourth-level Dawn Wizard's demand for food is relatively controllable, it is not the demigod level of the fifth-level Full Moon Wizard after all, and still needs food to maintain some essential elements of life.
"Okay, thank you, Ryan." Menia nodded and said.
"Hey, is this a Diemetradon?"
When Menia saw Ryan holding a lava Diemetradon and starting to deal with it, he couldn't help but be a little surprised and said.
"It's really called a Dimetralon. I saw the semicircular fins on its back, so I just called it a lava Dimetralon." Ryan said with a smile.
"Yes, this is a fire-type Dimetralon. It should be the offspring of a red dragon or a fire dragon and a sea ichthyosaur. Seeing so many of them, there should have been a fire dragon living in this lava lake for a long time." Menia said.
Soon, Ryan prepared some grilled Dimetralon ribs.
Menia took a bite and found that it was juicy and tasted quite tender and delicious, but after a few seconds, she looked surprised.
"Your Highness Menia, how does it taste?"
"Ryan, these Dimetralons may not be the offspring of ordinary fire dragons and ichthyosaurs."
"Hmm?"
"I can feel the blood essence contained in them. It should come from an ancient red dragon, at least an old dragon, or even a very old dragon."
Menia's words obviously surprised Ryan!
He had not left Menia too far in the past few days, and this lava lake was too vast to be seen at a glance. Now that he thought about it carefully, it was very likely that the lava lake was not located at the bottom of a volcano, but a lava lake shared by a group of submarine volcanoes.
"You mean, there might be a red dragon of the old dragon level sleeping under this lava lake?" Ryan narrowed his eyes and said seriously.
