Chapter 395: Potion Master
In the next few days, Ryan basically immersed himself in witchcraft tailoring.
Audrey and Alicia were curious about why Ryan suddenly became "addicted" to witchcraft tailoring, but they did not dare to disturb him casually and could only bury this doubt in their hearts.
As the experience value of making the "Apprentice Robe" began to decrease, Ryan wanted to go to Jacqueline again to ask if there were more advanced witchcraft tailoring drawings, but then he thought about it and felt that it was not appropriate.
After all, his improvement speed was too shocking.
And it would not be long before he would ask the other party for the drawings.
Instead of doing this, he might as well go directly to the material exchange office to have a look.
Sure enough, Ryan spent 100 contribution points at the material exchange office and exchanged for a new witchcraft tailoring drawing - "Clean Robe".
Compared with the previous "Apprentice Robe", this "Clean Robe" is more difficult to make, but the quality is also higher, which can be regarded as barely entering the level of intermediate witchcraft props.
When it comes to the classification of witchcraft props, it is not only linked to the number, practicality and power of zero-level witchcraft, but also has considerations such as production difficulty and material rarity, which is relatively complicated.
In general, this evaluation is similar to the five-dimensional diagram that Ryan had seen in his previous life.
In addition, Ryan also discovered that after having the new core skill "focus", he found that it was particularly effective when using it to learn new witch pattern tailoring drawings.
After turning on "focus", the whole person felt that his thoughts were particularly clear, and when he started sewing, he was also as if he had divine help.
Some places that originally required others to point out, Ryan could figure it out by himself after a little thought.
After several attempts, the system prompt also sounded:
[You have made the intermediate witchcraft prop "Clean Robe", and the relevant comprehension has improved! 】
[You have learned a new skill - Clean Robe]
[Your skill in making Clean Robe has been improved, experience +10]
[You have successfully made an intermediate witchcraft item 'Clean Robe', witch pattern tailor professional experience +103]
In Ryan's new mansion.
"Anna, try it." Ryan handed a white wizard robe to Anna.
Anna's pretty face was obviously happy, and her big beautiful eyes looked at Ryan and said, "Ryan, is this for me?"
"Well, this is the first intermediate witchcraft item 'Clean Robe' I have completed." Ryan introduced with a smile.
"As long as you inject a little bit of mental power, it will trigger two zero-level witchcrafts 'Dust Removal' and 'Decontamination', which can keep the robe clean and tidy at any time."
When Anna put it on, she found that not only the two zero-level witchcrafts solidified on the robe were very useful, but also the whole clean robe was very fitting.
"Hey, Ryan, how do you know my size?"
"After all, I've measured it." Ryan spread his palm and said.
Ryan's words immediately made Anna blush. She gently hit Ryan's chest, and then the two of them played and joked intimately for a while.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
At this time, there was a knock on the door outside the study.
Ryan knew who was outside the door as soon as he felt it.
"Come in!"
This time, Tatia, who was wearing a tall major general uniform, came with Olena.
The two first looked at Anna with a flushed face, and then looked at the wrinkles on the other's white robe, and couldn't help but blushing.
This. Lord Ryan is too much.
In broad daylight.
In the study.
"Ryan, you go first."
The two young women's eyes made Anna more shy. After nodding quickly to the two, she left the study quickly.
"Ahem, please sit down." Ryan coughed to cover up his embarrassment.
"Sir Ryan, I came here to tell you something."
"The Durham family said that the last unfavorable behavior against you was entirely Greenwood's personal behavior. Now, including the butler Owen, they have been fired."
"They proposed to compensate you for your losses last time. Regarding this matter, the headquarters wants me to ask your opinion."
"The opinion of the headquarters is my opinion." Ryan thought about it and said something politically correct.
Through his understanding during this period of time, he naturally knew that the relationship involved was complicated, including conservatives and reformists, the demands of various imperial wealthy families, etc., and there were also some other deep-seated reasons.
Even the Durham family has an imperial guardian behind it.
Of course, it doesn't mean that the matter is over, it's just that the time has not come yet.
From another perspective, even if Ryan wants to fight head-on at this time, he must have the strength to overpower the guardian named "Baoyun", otherwise, it will be ridiculous and overestimating his own abilities.
As for the fact that the imperial guardian cannot take action, there are also prerequisites.
You have already hit someone else's family, so it will naturally be considered a provocation to the imperial guardian. It is reasonable for the other party to take action against you.
In addition, in Ryan's view, he may not only have to face the Drum family.
As a wealthy family of the empire for hundreds of years, the other party has a complex network of relationships, so Ryan has to consider the friendly forces behind and horizontally.
And now, he is considered a member of the Empire Reformists and the Sword Bearer Headquarters, which means that his decision will be expanded, and he naturally needs to respect the opinions of General Augustus and Marshal Alfred.
"Mr. Ryan, thank you for your understanding and support of the headquarters. We will strive for as much benefit as possible for you." Tatia smiled and said.
She naturally understood what Ryan meant.
Obviously, the powerful Mr. Ryan in front of him has a clear understanding of the situation.
Although this time the conservatives have to make concessions in many aspects, it will not hurt them.
"By the way, Mr. Tatia, I want to ask, how did the Durham family explain why they attacked me?"
"And the butler Owen, since he was expelled from the Durham family, can we find him?"
At this time, Tatia, the female major general, looked at Ryan with a somewhat special look and said:
"Well, according to them, Greenwood thought your female companion was particularly beautiful, so he had a conflict with you."
Ryan was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then he smiled dumbly.
Sure enough, the Durham family would not tell the truth. They concealed the fact that Anna was an elf.
From this point of view, do they still have not given up? Or are there other reasons, such as not wanting to involve the people behind?
"As for the butler Owen, we investigated it these two days and found that he seemed to have evaporated. After leaving the Durham family mansion, he disappeared. We suspect that he is no longer in this world."
Ryan nodded.
Sure enough, for such an imperial family, some obvious loopholes are difficult to find.
"By the way, what about the Noble Court and the Isolder School where Harold is?" Ryan thought for a moment and asked.
"The Noble Court has been dealt with. The young judge on that day was deceived by some people and has been demoted. As for the Isolder School."
"The headquarters has sent a letter to inquire. The other party means that Harold was also deceived and is also a victim."
"He is also a victim?" Ryan raised his eyebrows and said.
"Well, as a large school, the influence that the headquarters can exert on the Isoder School is relatively limited. Even if we mobilize high-level connections to suppress it, as long as the other party does not betray the empire, logically speaking, the other party will not suffer much loss."
"Moreover, once this is done, the other party may become more resentful of Lord Ryan, causing the other party to use some secret means to deal with you."
"Of course, our current approach cannot guarantee that the other party will not use secret means, but the possibility is lower."
"For you, if you go out recently, you still have to be more vigilant. And if you are in the imperial capital, you basically don't have to worry."
Ryan nodded, expressing his understanding.
The large school has a relatively complete wizard heritage, strong overall strength, and there are epic-level strongmen at the level of imperial guardians in the school.
If the other party is still efficient for the empire, if he is the emperor of the empire, he will not deal with them because of some trivial matters of the other party.
But from another perspective, this is not a bad thing. When he is strong enough one day, he can also act individually and go to the other party's school station to communicate.
"Then Sir Ryan, if there is nothing else, I will go back and negotiate the compensation with the Drum family."
"Okay, Sir Tatia." Ryan nodded and smiled.
"You're welcome, Sir Ryan." After that, Major General Tatia nodded to Olena and left first.
——
At the same time.
Cyrodiil Plateau.
The headquarters of the Isodri School, Nilheim.
As a large wizard school, the influence of the Isodri School in Nilheim runs through all aspects. It can be said that the establishment of the city of Nilheim is basically to serve the Isodri School.
In the center of Nilheim, in a magnificent hall.
Several wizards in khaki wizard robes are solemnly reporting something to an old man with several earth element shields around him.
On the ground beside them, there was a corpse that had been collected. If Ryan was present, he would have recognized it at first glance. This was the ‘sculptor’ Harold who was killed by him.
“Master, Lord Harold died tragically. As the most likely strong man in our Isoderei School to enter the epic level, should we just pretend that this incident did not happen?” One of the wizards, who seemed to have a very good relationship with Harold, was generously stating,
“Yes, Master, this is also a serious blow to the reputation of our school. This matter cannot be let go!” Another wizard echoed.
“Enough! Harold brought this upon himself. As the guardian of the empire, I cannot attack an imperial swordsman.”
“In addition, who in the school do you think will be absolutely sure to win?”
“If there is, I can agree to your request and send someone to duel with this young man named Ryan in the name of the Isoderei School.” The old man said in a deep voice.
"This"
The few people looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Obviously, their strength was still inferior to Harold. Even Harold, who was known as the strongest legend, was not a match for Ryan.
If they were to duel with each other, not only would they lose, but the reputation of the Isoldere School would be frustrated again.
"Sect leader, can this matter just be settled like this?" A wizard asked unwillingly.
"I will handle this matter." The old man waved his hand, indicating that they could leave.
After a few people left, the old man thought for a long time, sighed heavily, and said to a male wizard next to him:
"Malcolm, help me contact the Tutkash School. I may need their help this time."
Hearing the words Tutkash, Malcolm felt a chill in his heart and said quickly: "Okay, Master of the faction."
You must know that not all wizarding schools within the empire's territory obey the orders of the empire. Some secret wizarding schools, groups and organizations have always existed.
The Tutkarsh school, which is mainly based on the necromantic system, is one of them.
The opponent is also on the Cyrodiil Plateau, but the main area of activity is located in the west of the plateau, that is, wandering near the westernmost territory of the empire.
However, in the past thousand years, the other party seems to have been induced by the evil god. In addition to normal research on the necromantic system, many wizards from the school have heard that they have become inclined to worship the evil god.
——
The imperial capital of Tamriel.
In the next few days, from time to time, the Duke or Marquis family would send invitations to banquets or dances at Rennes Mansion.
Many of them are conservative aristocrats, and of course, more are innovative aristocratic families.
The purpose is also obvious, he wants to make friends with this newly famous man.
However, Ren thought about it and declined.
If the beautiful woman Jennifer is here, she can participate as a representative, but for Renn himself, participating in these banquet activities is quite time-consuming and energy-consuming. At this critical moment, the gain outweighs the loss.
Because his status this time comes from his own strength.
This is his foundation, not anything else.
Perhaps, after he reaches the level of third-level crystallized wizard and transfers to the 'Dragon Vein Wizard', Renn will consider attending some banquets to socialize appropriately.
At this time, Renn had already promoted Witch Pattern Tailor (Extraordinary) from lv1 to lv7, gaining 6 attribute points and 6 skill points.
This brings Ren's remaining attribute points to 20 and his remaining skill points to 7. As for the gold skill points, they remain at 95.
"Seven skill points, 5 points short of 12."
"If you consider learning two level three witchcraft at the same time and quickly turning them into combat effectiveness, you will need 24 skill points."
"Currently, even if I can make the new high-level witchcraft prop 'Breeze Robe', it is still difficult to push the witchcraft tailor to level 10 or above. The gap is too big at 24 skill points."
"It seems like Olena has to make arrangements through official channels and find a time to go to the Royal Apothecary Society." Renn thought.
In the evening, when Ren returned to the mansion, he found Anna chatting with a familiar figure that she had not seen for a long time.
"Miss Alyosha?"
"Your Excellency Renn, I finally see you again."
"Sir Ren, if I hadn't heard that a genius emerged from the Sword Bearer Headquarters and defeated Harold the Sculptor, I wouldn't have known you were in the Imperial Capital!"
"Also, why didn't you contact me when you came to the imperial capital?" Seeing Ren's appearance, Alyosha's beautiful eyes lit up, and he asked three times in a row, slightly annoyed.
"By the way, Sir Ren, where did you find this lovely girl? Miss Anna is so lovable." Alyosha took Anna's hand and said.
Anna didn't seem to be embarrassed, and the two seemed to be able to chat easily.
"I'm sorry, Miss Alyosha, I've been busy recently, it was my oversight." Renn said with a smile.
Seeing Alyosha, Ren suddenly realized that there seemed to be no need for Olena to contact him through official channels, because Alyosha himself was an official researcher of the Royal College of Pharmacists.
After some pleasantries, Ren learned that the Stewart family that Alyosha belonged to was also a family of dukes in the imperial capital.
"Hey, is Mr. Renn so interested in potion making?"
"As a gold-level sword holder, I can take you directly to the headquarters of the Royal Apothecary Association." Alyosha agreed to Ren's request.
"How about tomorrow? I will take you to the association headquarters in the afternoon. In the evening, how about you bring Miss Anna and come to my place for dinner?"
"I think my father would be very happy to see you." Alyosha invited.
"Thank you, Miss Alyosha."
"Okay, that's troublesome. Maybe I haven't seen Special Envoy Javier for a long time, so I should pay him a visit." After thinking for a moment, Renn nodded and agreed with a smile.
The next afternoon.
Renn followed Alyosha to the headquarters of the Royal Pharmacists Association located on the second ring road of the Imperial Capital.
After checking the sword holder's credentials, Ren passed through the thick oak door and saw more than a dozen humanoid stone sculptures over three meters high.
"Your Excellency Renn, these are all famous pharmacist masters in the history of the association."
"That's the herbal cultivation room over there, and that's the laboratory over there." Alyosha pointed to the two most eye-catching multi-story buildings on the left and right, and said.
"Sir Ren, where do you want to go first?"
"How about we go to the laboratory first and take a look?" Ren thought for a moment and said.
Compared to herbal cultivation, potion making may be more relevant to Ryan's subsequent job change clues.
"Okay, Mr. Ryan, let's go to my mentor, Master Cabrera, and take a look."
"Okay."
Soon, the two came to the door of a laboratory on the second floor. The door of the laboratory was ajar. Through the crack of the door, Ryan could clearly see that the interior was a huge laboratory similar to the lecture hall in his previous life.
Seven or eight pharmacists in robes were making something on several long tables.
In a single room separated by transparent glass at the innermost part of the laboratory, an old man with a white goatee was holding a dropper and a beaker, concentrating on making some kind of potion.
"Sir Ryan, the mentor seems to be making advanced potions. Let's go and take a look." Alyosha said with a little excitement.
Advanced potions?
This reminded Ryan of something.
When he entered the extraordinary, he took advanced potions.
Could it be that Master Cabrera in front of him was making that?
Ryan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, quite interested, and quickly followed Alyosha to stand a few meters outside the glass wall and observe carefully.
"Sir Ryan, this is the Shadow Leopard Potion, mentor." Alyosha whispered to the side.
A few minutes later, the system prompt suddenly appeared:
[Ding! Detected that the host was in contact with potion making, triggering the subsequent job transfer of Breaking Bad (Super) - Potion Master (Legend)! ]
[The prerequisites for the job transfer to Potion Master (Legend) are: 1. Super level potion-related profession lv5 or above; 2. Spirit 30 points or more; 3. Master the production of three or more advanced potions. The current conditions do not meet! Job transfer Potion Master (Legend) failed! ]
Seeing the system prompt in front of him, Ryan couldn't help laughing.
"Finally waited for the subsequent job transfer prompt information, it's not easy." Ryan sighed in his heart.
Thinking back to when he was in Mayest County, he changed his job to Breaking Bad (Extraordinary), but it was not until now, when he came to the imperial capital Tamriel, that he got the subsequent job change information.
"However, the formulas of these three or more advanced potions are probably difficult to get."
"But it's okay to have the job change tips, so there's no rush in the next one or two days."
That night, Ryan brought Anna to the Stewart family mansion and had dinner with Javier and Alyosha. Both the host and the guests enjoyed themselves.
The next morning.
"Lord Ryan, this is the biggest event that happened in the empire's territories this week." Olena handed Ryan a piece of intelligence.
After Ryan took it, he quickly read it.
"In Westminster Province, the Limb Removal Cult created a tragedy in Wallis County, killing and injuring nearly a thousand people. Currently, the Westminster Sword Bearers Branch is still handling it."
"In Savoy Province, the Steel Bristle Wild Boar Tribe was bewitched and launched attacks on several surrounding towns."
"In Moselle Province, the Ancient Mother Tree Cult revived and attacked the Dark Cave in the Secret Realm of the Empire, triggering a large number of ancient violent species in the Dark Cave to attack the surrounding towns. Currently."
"."
I don't know if it was instructed by the gods behind him, but Ryan found that the activities of the cults were becoming more and more frequent.
At a glance, except for a few involving alien races, most of them were related to cults. In a short period of time, the major cults created multiple tragedies in various provinces of the empire!
"Don't we have any internal response in the cult? If we deal with it after the incident breaks out, there will be a lot of casualties." Ryan frowned and said.
"Yes, but it is very difficult to do this." Olena thought for a while and said.
"Because the cult's initiation ceremony is very meticulous, there are almost no loopholes to exploit. Apart from other things, there are more than one level of mind-confusion magic that needs to be passed, which is similar to the effect of truth serum."
"In addition, there are other constraints. After the spies have participated in the prayer ceremony many times, even the most determined people will gradually lose themselves in it."
"If a projection of a god descends during a large-scale ceremony, it will be even more unsolvable."
"I see." Ryan nodded.
No wonder the empire is relatively slow to realize most of the cult's activities, or it is a bit passive. The problem lies here.
The method of "Infernal Affairs" does not work, at least on the cult side.
"By the way, Lord Ryan, this is what you mentioned to me last time. You want to take on some specific tasks related to dragons or dragonborn."
"I have also collected and screened these days. These are some dragon creatures that appeared in various provinces of the empire and cannot be solved by local branches. You can take a look."
I saw Olena handing a thick stack of information to Ryan with both hands.
"The one at the top is, as you said, the strongest dragon creature. However, I think you can consider the second and third dragon creatures." Olena said tactfully.
