Chapter 533 Association and Fear
"Effect of Dornok's Poison: Greatly reduces the body's self-healing ability, continuously causes poisoning damage, and comes with weakness curse and fatigue curse."
Finally, there is a self-healing time given by the system "71:59:55".
"Even with my physique and poison resistance, it will take three days to completely eliminate it. The attached curse effect is the most troublesome, which reduces my own strength by about 20%."
Ryan felt it and found that the mental fluctuations he showed at this moment had dropped to the middle stage of the dawn.
However, since it can heal itself, Ryan is not particularly worried and immediately checks the attribute panel.
Spirit: 282 (Quality 92%)
"After killing 'Unlistenable' K'Sir, the absorption increased by 12%, and the second kill of 'Unseeable' Dornok increased by 11%."
"I have completely entered the peak of the dawn wizard."
As soon as Ryan saw the current degree of quality, the little depression in his heart because of the Dornok poison disappeared immediately.
Because if Ryan is given another choice, even if he knows that he will be poisoned if he kills Dornok, he will kill him without hesitation.
Three days of weakness in exchange for permanent strength improvement, everyone knows how to choose.
At this time, Ryan suddenly looked up at the sky far away.
On the skyline, a huge airship slowly appeared. With Ryan's eyesight, he could naturally see that the logo on its airbag was a five-color dragon pattern.
At the same time, the lookout on the airship could naturally see the huge pit in the square of the Isolder School in the center of Nilheim City, as well as the smoke and dust that had not yet completely dissipated.
Soon, the situation was immediately reported to the ears of everyone in the conference room.
"What! It is suspected that most of the Isolder School's residence has been destroyed?"
"This Lord Ryan is too young and has done too much!" Pantoskirk, the imperial guardian with the title "Storm Cloud", slammed the table heavily and scolded.
"Doesn't he know that the Isodri School is located in the center of Nilheim? His reckless attack is simply a disregard for the lives of ordinary civilians in the Empire."
"Elder Ivan, I suggest that the Senate temporarily suspend the review of Ryan's Guardian candidate status. Even if his strength has reached the basic requirements of the Imperial Guardian, his personal qualities do not meet the requirements of an Imperial Guardian."
At this time, the Imperial Army Marshal Meyer Ryan on the side also echoed:
"Yes! There is another question. If the Isodri School asks to deal with Mr. Ryan, what do you think we should do?"
"I need to remind you that if we don't deal with it and let the Isodri School feel disappointed, then who will help the Empire to guard the Cyrodiil Plateau and suppress cults and secret schools?"
Although he seemed to be asking everyone a question, in fact, he pointed out the serious consequences of not dealing with it, and the meaning was self-evident.
"This." Marshal Alfred opened his mouth and didn't know how to refute it for a while.
Elder Ivan's face was also a little ugly.
After all, if that was the case, although he had made a move, Ryan would not be punished substantially, but his current status as a candidate for the Imperial Guardian would probably be ruined.
"Imperial Senate?"
"Could it be that they came for me?" Ryan frowned slightly.
He had a vague feeling that they were not friendly.
At this time, the wizards of the Isolde School gradually came out of the protective magic formation. The two leading wizards, after observing for a while, found that Ryan did not seem to have any intention of continuing to attack, so they dared to walk towards Ryan together.
The old man with a mustache and the old man with gray hair bowed to Ryan and said, "Your Majesty Ryan, it is a shame for the Isolde School to have such a thing happen this time."
"But most of the young wizards in the school don't know what the leader Stuttgart and the deputy leader Malcolm did. I hope Your Majesty Ryan can forgive these young people."
The two took the initiative to respectfully call Ryan "Your Majesty". It was not entirely a compliment, but from the bottom of their hearts. After all, Ryan was a late-stage Dawn Wizard. Even if Ryan was not yet a Guardian of the Empire, he was already better than a Guardian.
Ryan nodded and said, "I saw your performance just now. It can be seen that most of the wizards in the school don't know what Stuttgart did."
"Including the two of you who didn't take action just now. It seems that even you have been kept in the dark."
Ryan said while looking around.
He found that in addition to the two old men in front of him who were crystallization peak wizards, there were six or seven crystallization level wizards, more than thirty liquid level wizards, and more than a hundred mist level wizards around. No matter
where they were placed, this was a huge force, which showed the strength and foundation of a large wizard school.
"To be honest, since Stuttgart was promoted to the Dawn Wizard, we have rarely been able to intervene in the affairs of the school. Otherwise, we would have discovered some clues earlier." The gray-haired old wizard said.
"What's the point of saying this? I'm afraid that the Isoder School will be expelled from the large wizard schools this time." The old wizard with a mustache looked around and sighed.
"This is inevitable. Dynasties change, and wizard schools naturally rise and fall. However, Your Majesty Ryan, I am afraid that our Isodre School does not have the ability to garrison the Cyrodiil Plateau."
"Please tell the top leaders of the empire. Of course, we will also take the initiative to apply to the empire."
Ryan did not directly answer the old wizard's words. Instead, after thinking for a while, he asked:
"By the way, I heard that you were collecting ores before? Logically speaking, you specialize in earth-based witchcraft, so you shouldn't need so many rare ores."
"Your Majesty Ryan, it's like this. A few years ago, swarms of alien spiders began to flood the Cyrodiil Plateau, and it is not easy to deal with this kind of spider swarm. Even our school has suffered a lot of casualties."
"And our library contains a lot of drawings of constructed creations, so we want to try to use puppets to deal with the alien spider swarms. After trying, we found that the effects of rock puppets and clay puppets are not as good as metal puppets."
"I see." Ryan nodded.
At the same time, he gradually came up with a more mature plan in his mind.
Just now, he looked around and found that the wizards of the Isoder School still had a relatively high sense of identity with their own school. Even after this incident, it would be unlikely to directly integrate the other party into the Bixiu Construction School.
Moreover, this kind of thing cannot be forced. Let's not talk about whether it can be done. Even if it is done, if the other party is not sincere in joining, it will cause various conflicts and disputes with the wizards of the original Bixiu Construction School.
This is contrary to his previous idea.
Now it seems that we can first establish a construction association similar to the nature of an alliance, slowly and imperceptibly attract and divide, and when the time is right, everything will naturally come to fruition.
"I think there is no need for the Isoder School to move. I have always planned to establish a mechanical and construction creation association to share construction knowledge and defend together. At present, there is already a Bixiu Construction School." Ryan said.
"If you agree to join, under the agreement of joint defense, I think whether it is the threat of the Tutkash School or any other threat, it should not be a problem. I will come to the Cyrodiil Plateau from time to time."
When the two old wizards heard the first half of the sentence, as "living fossils", they immediately understood Ryan's purpose. This is not an association, but a joint defense organization. Some small and medium-sized wizard schools often like to do this.
In addition, the current Isolder School no longer has the Dawn Wizard. If it joins, the dominant power will inevitably fall into Ryan's hands.
But Ryan's last sentence made the two old wizards' eyes light up.
Although they can move their base, the school will have many enemies looking for it after this incident. After all, as a large wizard school, there are many interests and conflicts in various aspects. This time the school's strength has been greatly reduced, and it is unlikely that others will not step on you.
The proposal of His Majesty Ryan is equivalent to giving them a safe haven.
In addition, the Isodri School has been stationed in the Cyrodiil Plateau for a thousand years. It is their homeland. Most of the wizards of the school naturally do not want to leave.
"Great!"
"Joint defense? Shared construction knowledge?"
Before the two old wizards agreed, the wizards of the Isodri School on the side had already discussed it with surprise.
The two old wizards looked at each other, and immediately bowed to Ryan and said respectfully: "This is naturally a good thing. On behalf of the Isodri School, we are willing to join the Construction Association led by His Excellency Ryan."
"Well, very good." Ryan nodded with a smile on his face.
In fact, he also has another purpose, which is to offset the number advantage of the alien spider swarm of the evil god Neyobrekan through constructing creations.
For this, the number of wizards from the Bixiu Construction School alone is far from enough, but if the wizards from the Isodri School are added, and each person uses several construction creations to conduct a sweeping investigation, it should be possible to quickly eliminate these alien spiders that are good at building nests underground.
In addition, through this method, it should be possible to gradually find out the specific location of the secret school-Tutkarsh, and completely eliminate the other party.
I hope the other party can give him some more surprises by then.
At this time, the giant airship in the sky has approached nearby and began to land slowly.
I saw several high-ranking officials of the empire walking down the gangway one after another, led by Elder Ivan, whom Ryan had met once, followed by Pantos Kirk, Marshal Alfred and another marshal whom Ryan did not know.
Seeing this scene, the wizards of the Isodri School were shocked. They thought that this was to cause trouble for them.
However, they found that it seemed different from what they expected.
Before Elder Ivan could speak, Pantoskok took a look at the surrounding area that seemed to have been bombarded by meteorites, as well as the corpses of the Goron giants that were as big as a hill, and said excitedly:
"Sir Ryan, you are too much. Let's not talk about right or wrong. Have you ever considered that the battle with Stuttgart will lead to the destruction of the city of Nilheim?"
"By the way, what about Stuttgart?" Pantoskok suddenly thought of a question, looked around, and asked.
"This should be the Stuttgart you mentioned." Ryan pointed to the charred body on the ground not far away.
"What! Ryan, you... You actually killed him!" Pantoskok was surprised and happy.
What surprised him was that Ryan's strength was so strong.
You know, even if he was slightly stronger than Stuttgart, this was the opponent's base camp. If he wanted to defeat Stuttgart in the Isolde School, I'm afraid it would be extremely difficult for him.
What made him happy was that Ryan acted so recklessly, and the opponent's status as a candidate for the Imperial Guardian would be 100% deprived this time.
Even if Elder Ivan or His Royal Highness Menia stepped in to mediate, there was no hope.
Before Ryan could answer, Meyer Ryan, who was wearing the uniform of the Imperial Army Marshal, shouted:
"Sir Ryan, what you did is really disregarding the laws of the Empire!"
"Do you know that Stuttgart has been stationed on the Cyrodiil Plateau for a long time for the safety of the Empire's borders? He has made great contributions. You actually killed him like this. It's really..."
However, Marshal Meyer found that as he spoke, the wizards of the Isodre School around him seemed to look at him with a strange look.
He had seen this look before. It was the look that a normal person would look at a psychopath.
Therefore, Marshal Meyer also noticed something was wrong, and his voice gradually became smaller. Finally, he stopped completely and looked around in confusion.
"Hey, Marshal." The gray-haired old wizard walked up and said.
Then, he looked at Ryan's expression again, and continued after making sure that Ryan didn't mind him helping to answer:
"Our leader Stuttgart colluded with the Tutkarsh School and endangered the safety of the empire. His Majesty Ryan stopped the other party's plot. In addition, Stuttgart was not killed by His Majesty Ryan, but died under Graham's dagger."
Whether it was Elder Ivan, Marshal Alfred, Pantoskok and Meyer, they were all stunned after hearing this!
"What! How is this possible!" Marshal Meyer said in shock.
"According to you, Ryan is not only innocent, but also meritorious?"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Pantoskok's face was livid, and he shook his head repeatedly.
Faced with the questioning of an imperial guardian, the two old wizards of the Isoderre School looked at each other, and for a moment they couldn't figure out what was going on, so they all looked at Ryan.
Ryan waved his hand, indicating that the two didn't need to pay attention.
But this made Pantoskok believe in his judgment that Ryan killed Stuttgart by force, and then made the remaining wizards of the Isoderei School bow down to him.
After all, he had done this kind of thing before, so naturally, Pantoskok thought about the problem from this angle.
"I believe that Lord Ryan is not a bloodthirsty person. Moreover, whether it is as Lord Ryan and the two wizards of the Isoderei School said, we will soon find out after investigating." Marshal Alfred said in a deep voice.
"This arrangement is very appropriate." At this time, Elder Ivan also nodded and agreed.
In this regard, Ryan naturally would not object, but said to Pantoskok and Meyer lightly: "I hope you two will not just say it is impossible. In addition, I advise you two that even if it is slander, there must be evidence, not just words."
"You" Pantoskok looked ugly.
Soon, the elite soldiers quickly checked the entire venue. Not long after, a team of soldiers came over with spider corpses of various sizes and said, "My lords, these are the corpses of alien spiders found in the holes in the ground."
"This is not a native species of the Cyrodiil Plateau. It is consistent with what was reported in the previous intelligence. These are spiders secretly raised by the Tutkash School."
"In other words, people from the Tutkash School have invaded here?" Marshal Alfred said.
"I also felt the breath of the evil god." As he stepped into the core area of the battle, Elder Ivan's face became serious and he said.
As evidence after evidence showed that Stuttgart colluded with the Tutkarsh School, there was basically no objection. In other words, Ryan was not only innocent this time, but also meritorious. This made Pantoskok and Marshal Meyer's faces as black as the bottom of a pot!
At this moment, the two of them were silent.
"It seems that Sir Ryan successfully prevented the Tutkarsh School's conspiracy against the Empire's Cyrodiil Plateau this time and protected the safety of Nilheim." "
At the same time, he also killed Stuttgart who was controlled by the evil god, and another incarnation of the evil god." Marshal Alfred said with a smile.
"Elder Ivan, I think Sir Ryan's strength and merits are enough to serve as the guardian of the empire. I suggest that the Senate exempt Sir Ryan from the probation period." Marshal Alfred looked at Elder Ivan and said.
"Wait!"
"Even if it is true that Lord Ryan defeated the Tutkarsh School's conspiracy, I think there are objections to the killing of two incarnations of the evil god." Pantoskok said in a deep voice.
He had not seen Ryan for a long time, and his perception of Ryan's combat power was still based on the impression that he had just entered the Dawn Wizard.
Of course, the most important thing was that the aura Ryan revealed at this moment was too confusing.
Ryan, who was poisoned by Dornok, showed a mental fluctuation of only the middle stage of the Dawn. Although it was surprising enough, it was far from enough to scare Pantoskok.
On the contrary, Pantoskok became more and more wary of the speed at which Ryan's strength was improving!
