Chapter 372 From the Perspective of Strength

As the steward of the Duke of Durham, Owen has seen too many such situations.

Including a considerable number of white gloves who are now serving the Duke, they joined the Durham family in this way.

Compared with women, the ladder of promotion and the endless resources are the most important.

With strength and status, what women can't get?

As long as they are smart, they will figure this out.

Half an hour later.

In the inner ring of the imperial capital, near the main entrance of a towering building, there is a luxurious carriage with the crest of the Scorpion Tailed Lion family parked.

After a while, a young man wearing bright silver knight plate armor got on the carriage.

"Master Greenwood, I'm sorry to bother you this time." Steward Owen bowed slightly and said.

Greenwood is the nephew of the Duke of Durham, but he is talented in the knight's road, so he has been trained by the Durham family since he was a child.

After spending a lot of financial resources, various rare potions, and hiring many famous teachers to guide him, he finally realized a glimmer of will at the age of thirty-something and stepped half a foot into the title of knight.

At the end of last year, he was promoted to a Mithril-level swordsman.

Looking at the entire Dragun Empire, Greenwood is also one of the top few among his peers.

"Butler Owen, you are too polite. If the family needs me, I will naturally do my duty."

"However, I have recently comprehended a top-level swordsmanship secret. So, it is best for us to go and come back quickly." The handsome Greenwood smiled and said politely.

He has been familiar with his uncle's butler Owen since he was a child. At the same time, he also knew that the other party was his uncle's confidant. Many things of the Drum family were handled by this butler Owen.

Otherwise, if someone else disturbed him from comprehending swordsmanship, he would never have a good face.

"Of course, I have asked someone to contact the fastest imperial airship to go to Munster. In addition, this time, Master Greenwood, you are going there mainly to deter others. You can return to the imperial capital in two or three days at most."

"Well, that's good." Greenwood nodded with satisfaction.

Due to the turbulent situation in the empire this year, the Sword Bearer Headquarters has more tasks than in previous years. Of course, the degree of danger is far greater than before, but with the full help of the Drum family, he has accumulated enough task evaluation medals and merit points to be promoted to the adamantium level Sword Bearer.

This also confirms the saying that "opportunities and risks coexist"!

The only thing that hinders him is strength. As long as he can fully comprehend the glory of will, he can enter the legendary level and be promoted to the adamantium level.

After joining the Sword Bearer for so long, being promoted to the adamantium level can be said to be the goal of every Sword Bearer.

And he, Greenwood, is only one step away from this.

"Master Greenwood, this is the information of the target person this time."

Butler Owen handed Greenwood a thick stack of information, which was Ryan's growth resume from Mayster County to Munster, his outstanding achievements, etc., which was quite detailed.

Even Ryan himself would probably be amazed when he saw this report.

Almost all of the things except Ryan's whereabouts in the Wind Tundra have been investigated.

The reason why the investigators sent by housekeeper Owen did not go to the Frost Tundra for investigation was not because they were lazy.

But from the normal logic of the investigation, although the target person left for a few days and went to the Frost Tundra.

But since all the growth trajectories of the target are in the province of Munster, the focus of the investigation is naturally Munster. It is impossible to go to the northern border thousands of miles away to investigate what he did in the past two days.

This does not conform to the logic of the investigation and will also take a long time.

"Oh? It turns out to be a diamond-level sword holder. No wonder my uncle wants me to go there in person." Greenwood glanced at the first page and nodded.

Then, he quickly flipped through it. After a few minutes, Greenwood closed the information and said:

"He is less than 20 years old. With this talent and strength, it is already very good for a civilian to have this strength. I will talk to him later. If he is willing to follow me, I can make an operation to transfer him to the headquarters of the sword holder."

"Haha, of course, it's rare that Master Greenwood has someone he likes. I think the Duke will agree." Housekeeper Owen said with a smile.

"Well, Lord Owen, let's go now."

"Of course, we'll go to the airship platform now."

——

At the same time.

In the Munster Trade Zone, in the Ulysse Tailor Shop.

With Ulysse's guidance, it took Ryan just over an hour to upgrade his tailoring career level from lv1 to lv2 (17/300), gaining a few attribute points and a few skill points.

The forty or fifty linen coats piled up next to him were the fruits of Ryan's labor.

However, Ryan also found a problem. It seemed that because the linen coat was less difficult, even though he had mastered it very well, the experience reward for making a linen coat was not high.

In other words, if he wanted to quickly upgrade his tailoring career level, he needed to choose more difficult parts to make.

After a little thought, Ryan said, "Ulysse, teach me how to make a shirt now."

"Oh, yes, Lord Viscount, of course." Ulysse said respectfully.

In her opinion, Ryan was a natural tailor and learned the linen coat right away. It was enough to practice on a few pieces, and there was no need to practice on the linen coat all the time.

Moreover, the material and style of linen coats are only suitable for civilians. Nobles will not choose to wear them at all. It is meaningless for the Viscount to learn it well.

"My Lord, I suggest you start learning silk materials directly. Perhaps you can make a shirt for yourself." Yulis smiled and suggested.

"That's OK." Ryan nodded.

Although silk is much more expensive than linen, the loss of material is not within Ryan's consideration. In addition, more advanced materials, once successfully made, may bring more experience points.

Next, under Yulis's full teaching, ten minutes later, Ryan found that the system prompt sounded:

[You made a silk shirt, and the relevant understanding improved! ]

[You have learned a new skill - making silk shirts]

[Your skill in making silk shirts has been improved, and the experience points are +7]

[You focus on making silk shirts for ten minutes, and the tailoring professional experience points are +4]

"Sure enough." Ryan's eyes lit up.

Compared to linen outerwear, silk shirts, which have more complicated processes and more precious materials, have several times more experience points than the other.

Then, Ryan tried several linen shirts for horizontal comparison.

He found that the experience points increased from linen to more precious silk, but the increase was not large, only about 20% to 30%. In other words, the experience points given by the system are more focused on the changes in production difficulty.

Shirts need to make collars, cuffs and install buttons, etc. This seems to be the key to the significant increase in shirt experience points compared to linen outerwear.

"If that's the case"

After making more than ten pieces in a row, Ryan thought he had mastered the skills of ordinary silk shirts. He turned to Yulis and said:

"Yulis, can we add some difficulty or some patterns to ordinary shirts?"

"Of course, generally speaking, if it is a male noble shirt, we will add silver and gold threads to the collar and cuffs. Going a step further, we will embroider specific family emblems on the chest with gold and silver threads, etc."

"Of course, although the texture of gold and silver is soft, it is quite difficult to sew, and the difficulty is much higher than ordinary fine threads. You can try it, Viscount, but it is normal to fail the first time."

Although Yulis didn't know why Lord Ryan in front of him suddenly wanted to challenge the high difficulty.

But for her master's wild ideas, Yulis knew that she only needed to cooperate with him instead of questioning him. Mrs. Jennifer had repeatedly reminded her of this.

Therefore, Julis naturally told her everything she knew.

At the same time, she also foreshadowed the sewing of metal wire.

In order to prevent the young viscount from failing and taking his anger out on her.

"Silver wire? Gold wire? Isn't that metal wire?" Ryan's eyes lit up when he heard Julis' words.

He was familiar with this!

He was really familiar with it and very skilled.

One of the pre-processes of the witchcraft killer move 'Multiple Cut Nets' requires the instant deformation of multiple thin metal wires.

Ryan just glanced at the neatly arranged gold and silver wires on the table, memorized the length and diameter, and in a blink of an eye, he turned part of the mithril in his hand into mithril wire of the same specification.

This scene immediately stunned Julis and other female tailors.

"This, this." Julis' eyes widened, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

At this time, she realized that her master was not only a noble knight, but also a wizard.

Ryan began to sew several mithril threads on the collar and cuffs of the shirt with ease. Soon, a simple and noble mithril-patterned shirt was completed by Ryan.

After thinking for a while, Ryan embroidered the family emblem of a two-handed warhammer and a greatsword on the left chest of the shirt.

And the system prompt also sounded:

[You have made a mithril-patterned shirt, and the relevant understanding has been improved! ]

[You have learned a new skill - making a mithril-patterned shirt]

[Your skill in making a mithril-patterned shirt has been improved, and the experience value is +24]

[You have successfully made a mithril-patterned shirt, and the tailoring professional experience value is +19]

Compared to the previous time, the speed of this tailoring professional level improvement is like the upgrade from riding a pedal electric donkey to the level of a Ferrari 458, which is more than four or five times faster!

Seeing this speed, Ryan couldn't help but smile.

A few hours later

Ryan raised the tailoring profession level from lv2 to lv4 (778/1000).

So far, with the level he just upgraded, the total remaining attribute points are now 4 points, and the remaining skill points are 8 points.

As for the gold skill points, the 14 points obtained from killing the "Heartbreaker" Merrick last time, the total is currently 54 points.

Just as Ryan was about to rush the tailoring to lv5 in one go, a familiar voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"Sir Ryan, no, Lord Ryan, long time no see."

I saw Olena, a capable young woman wearing a hip-wrapped lace skirt and a light red women's lace shirt, appeared at the door.

"Sir Olena, it's indeed been a while since I last saw you." Ryan smiled and made an invitation gesture, motioning Olena to talk in the room next to him.

In the morning, he asked Jennifer to send someone to the Sword Bearer branch to inform Olena that he had arrived in Munster.

"Julis, I have some business to discuss. We will continue later."

"Of course, please do so, Lord Viscount." After saying that, Julis made a lady's bow, and at the same time, she took away a group of curious seamstresses and shop assistants.

In Julis's workshop.

Ren and Olena sat down.

Although Olena was curious about why Renn came to the tailor shop as soon as he returned to Munster, she did not ask why, but talked about more important things.

"Lord Ren, you should have received the notification, right?"

"Congratulations on your promotion to the highest rank of sword-bearers in the empire - the adamantine-level sword-bearer. Moreover, you have received this honor before reporting to the sword-bearer headquarters. This is the case even after so many years since the sword-bearer was established. It’s also very rare in history.”

Olena smiled and congratulated.

"Thanks!"

"By the way, Master Ren, it seems that your family still doesn't know about the news that you are going to the headquarters?" Olena couldn't help but look at Ren with some confusion and asked.

She just arrived at Ren's mansion first, and then she found out that Ren was at the Julis Tailor Shop.

However, she keenly discovered from the conversations between Renn's family members that neither Renn's sister Mint nor Renn's mother Emma seemed to have any idea about Renn's upcoming transfer to the Imperial Capital Headquarters.

"Yes, I just came back from the Cold Wind Tundra this time, and I plan to spend more time with my family. I plan to talk to them again in ten days." Renn nodded and explained.

On this point, he specifically told Anna on the way back.

"You are so considerate." Olena understood Renn's intention instantly, and immediately looked at Renn with even more reverence.

Perhaps there are a few people in the empire who are as young and powerful as Ren, but at the same time, there is probably no one who can be so caring about his family.

"Alas! It's a pity that Munster is too young. It is really an honor for me to work with you during this period." Olena seemed to think that Renne would leave soon, and said slightly sadly.

"Your Excellency Olena is serious and careful in her work, which is also my luck." Ren said with a slight smile.

"By the way, I would like to visit Admiral Edward when he is free."

"What a coincidence. The Admiral went to Rossby County a few days ago and has not returned yet. However, I heard that he should be back soon. He should be back today or tomorrow."

"Oh? Is there any emergency in Rosby County?" Renn asked with a raised brow.

Because according to the previous assignment of tasks, Rossby County and his hometown of Meister County are both areas under his jurisdiction.

"Yes, the Poseidon Cult has been very active recently, and you happen to be away, so..."

"By the way, everyone else in your team is also going this time."

"No wonder, Jennifer told me that they all went on missions." Renn couldn't help but nodded and said.

"Your Excellency Olena, please contact Admiral Edward and let me know that I have returned to Munster. If you need any tasks, you can contact me."

"Before I left the Munster branch, I was a member of the Munster Sword Bearers."

"Okay, Lord Ren. Admiral Edward will be very moved when he hears you say this."

——

A day and a half later.

I saw Vieri, Neoro and Angus arriving at the door of Rennes Mansion.

"Neolo, your promotion to an official wizard this time will definitely shock the captain." Vieri said to Neolo with a smile.

"Yes! When the captain comes back from the tundra, he will be surprised to find that you have been promoted to an official wizard." The red-haired beauty Evelin also said with a smile.

It was their captain who shocked them before, but this time, it was finally their turn.

"Lord Vieri, gentlemen, the Viscount returned yesterday." A guard immediately reported to everyone when he saw them.

"What? The captain is back?"

"Yes, Lord Vieri, but Lord Viscount went out with Baroness Crowley early this morning. It seems to be going to some tailor shop. I don't know the details." The guard said respectfully.

Renn had already gone to Julis's tailor shop early in the morning to practice his tailoring skills, so he was not here.

"Well, Vieri, don't worry, it's almost dinner time, and the captain should be back soon." Neolo said after looking at the sky.

"Too."

At this time, suddenly the sound of horse hooves sounded at the gate of the mansion.

I saw a luxurious carriage parked at the door of the mansion.

"Excuse me, who is this gentleman looking for?" the guard stepped forward.

Seeing this, Owen, the butler of Duke Durham, planned to take out the coat of arms representing the Durham family, but was stopped by Greenwood who stood aside.

"The other party may not recognize the Durham family's heraldic emblem."

I saw that Greenwood did not get off the carriage, but handed his mithril sword-wielding emblem out of the small window of the carriage and said: "Ask your master, Ren, to come here."

This behavior of not getting off the carriage when arriving at the door of the owner's house is naturally quite rude.

The guards were about to reprimand the other party on the spot when they saw him being so arrogant and rude, but when the guard captain saw the sword-wielding emblem handed over by the other party, which was very similar to Lord Vieri, he was suddenly stunned.

Because from the material point of view, although it is very similar to Lord Vieri's emblem (silver), it is obviously larger in diameter.

This made the captain of the guard a little unsure of the other party's origin, so he turned around and walked quickly into the mansion.

Since Ryan was often away, they would report directly to the beautiful woman Jennifer, the nominal housekeeper, or Vieri when they met a strange noble.

At this time, the beautiful woman Jennifer was away, so the captain of the guard naturally went straight to Vieri.

At this moment, Vieri was practicing fighting skills with Angus in the training room.

"Lord Vieri, there is someone outside. It seems that he is also a swordsman, but the other party is quite arrogant. He did not get off the carriage, but handed us this emblem. The other party also said that Lord Ryan should go to the carriage to meet him."

"Huh?" Hearing this news, the two figures who were in the competition suddenly stopped.

Including Neoro and the red-haired beauty Evelyn who were watching the battle, they also looked at the guards with surprise.

Sword bearer?

Let his captain go?

Even if Admiral Edward came in person, he wouldn't be so impressive, right?

"Sword bearer emblem? Let me see it." Neoro seemed to have thought of something, his face became serious, and he walked towards the guard.

"Huh? This is made of mithril." Neoro instantly discovered that the sword bearer emblem handed over by the other party was not silver, but mithril. As a wizard, he naturally couldn't distinguish the two.

"But if it's mithril, wouldn't it be only..." Neoro's eyes widened instantly.

"It's a mithril-level sword bearer from the Imperial Capital Sword Bearer Headquarters, second only to the adamantium level!" Neoro said in a deep voice.

Generally speaking, the strength of a mithril-level sword bearer is between the quasi-legend and the beginning of the legend. Of course, if it is the captain of the sword bearer, it must be stronger.

"What?! But judging from the other party's attitude, it seems that he is here to cause trouble for the captain." Evelyn couldn't help but say.

"Let's go and take a look first."

A few minutes later.

Vieri and his men hurried to the door of the mansion.

"Sir, Captain Ryan is not in the mansion. If you have anything to say, you may as well sit in the living room." Vieri stepped forward and said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

At this time, Anna also saw the movement at the door of the mansion and could not help but walk out of the villa.

"You are Ryan's team members. If you are in the branch, your strength is not bad." Greenwood looked at Vieri and others with contempt and said.

In his eyes, these young people at the level of "small town test-takers" in front of him are not worthy of his attention at all.

"Huh?" However, when the butler Owen saw Anna, his eyes lit up and he whispered something to Greenwood.

"Well! So that's it, this is simple."

The next second, the carriage opened, and Greenwood flashed and came to Anna's side, which immediately scared Anna.

"Stop, what do you want to do!" Vieri shouted angrily.

As a follower of Ryan, he knew Anna's position in Ryan's heart very well.

"Noisy!"

"Pah! Pah!"

With just two moves, Vieri flew backwards at a very fast speed, fell heavily to the ground, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

Greenwood slowly took out a white handkerchief, wiped his hands, and said: "Hasn't your captain taught you to show due respect to the strong?"

"You" Angus glared at Greenwood.

"Don't be impulsive, contact the captain quickly!" Neoro also looked ugly. After he was promoted to a formal wizard, his perception was greatly improved.

Neoro could clearly sense that the light on the opponent's fist just now was not only the original force, but also a ray of will. In other words, the strong man in front of him was at least a quasi-legendary level.

At this time, Anna quickly walked to Vieri's side and cast a healing spell on Vieri.

With the flashing green light, Vieri's injury quickly improved.

But Greenwood saw this scene clearly, and he couldn't help showing a strange look, saying: "Miss, I think you need to go back to the imperial capital with me first."

"This is impossible!" Vieri struggled to stand up and stood in front of Anna, saying.

The same is true for Neoro, Angus and Evelyn.

"Oh? Interesting, but from the perspective of strength, you are not qualified to reject my proposal." Greenwood smiled slightly and said.

But the next second, his face suddenly changed drastically, and a figure suddenly appeared in front of him and punched him like lightning.

"Hey!"

Greenwood's eyes widened, roared, and crossed his arms to resist with all his strength.

"Bang!!!"

He retreated more than ten steps and bumped into the luxury carriage he had just taken, and then he managed to resist, but his hands were still shaking at this moment.

"Crash!"

The luxury carriage also fell apart because of this collision, and the butler Owen ran out of the ruins of the carriage with an embarrassed look on his face.

"Captain!" Vieri said excitedly.

"Captain!" Neoro and the others were relieved.

Ryan first took a quick look at Vieri's injury, then looked up at Greenwood, narrowed his eyes, and said:

"You injured my people, and you still say that shamelessly. From the perspective of strength, who gave you the courage?"
