The wizard starts by trimming the donkey's hooves

Ren briefly told everyone about the situation in the Howling Tundra.

Although Admiral Edward received an official letter from the Sword Bearer Headquarters about Renn's promotion and transfer many days ago, it was not very clear what Renn was doing in the Howling Tundra.

The official letter only mentioned it briefly.

And Neoro, Angus and others were completely unaware of the situation.

Therefore, when Ren told him that he first killed the mutated ancestral dragon Corasius on the Howling Tundra, and then swept across the Poseidon Cult's stronghold in Howling Fjord and killed the three giants, he was stunned. Stunned.

Both Colonel Stanley and Olena were in a state of shock with their eyes widened and their mouths slightly open.

And when Ren said that on his way back, he fought with the projection of Hela, the goddess of the underworld worshiped by the Poseidon Cult, and repelled it, the well-informed Admiral Edward was also stunned. Big, head buzzing.

The others looked at each other with expressions of disbelief.

But they knew that Ren had never and had no need to lie.

After all, his contribution to single-handedly annihilating the Poseidon Cult stronghold in Howling Fjord was already great enough that even Renn was promoted to an Adamantium level sword wielder.

What's the point of him bragging again?

Therefore, what Ren said is most likely true.

"Ren, please tell me about the battle with that man in detail." Admiral Edward, who had come back to his senses, couldn't help but look excited. He took Ren to find a room and asked Ren to talk about it.

No wonder his captain always has a calm expression when facing an old duke family like Dram or facing the name of Sword Master.

Evelin's beautiful eyes dangled on Ren's body, and she thought to herself.

And Neoro couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said helplessly to Evelin on the side: "Originally, I wanted to shock the captain when I became an official wizard, but I didn't expect it."

"Giggle, who let us encounter such a monster captain." Evelin couldn't help covering her mouth and chuckled.

And the other side.

Greenwood covered his injured palm, and with his butler Owen, he quickly came to the airship docking station in Munster and boarded the latest airship back to the imperial capital.

Inside the airship cabin.

Greenwood's palm injury was simply treated and bandaged. As for the specific treatment, it could only be carried out after returning to the imperial capital of Tamriel.

"Master Greenwood, I did not investigate the situation clearly this time, and you were seriously injured. I am really sorry." Butler Owen bowed deeply to Greenwood.

"But the other party has become an adamantine-level sword wielder at such a young age, which is really beyond my expectation." Owen frowned.

"I can't blame you entirely for this. I didn't expect that the other party would be promoted to an adamantine-level sword wielder without even going to the headquarters. This kind of situation may not be encountered by someone in ten years." Greenwood looked gloomy. He nodded, reluctantly accepting the apology from the butler Owen.

After all, Irving is a close confidant of his uncle, and, as Irving said, this incident was really beyond his expectation.

"Master Greenwood, can you go to the Sword Bearer Headquarters and ask someone to find out why the other party was promoted to an Adamantine Level Sword Bearer?"

Although Owen is the butler of Duke Drum and has many connections in the imperial capital, he is still unable to investigate certain situations about an Adamantium-level sword wielder.

"Difficult! The information about the Adamantine-level sword holders is all headquarters secrets,"

"Moreover, the other party has never appeared in the headquarters before. It is naturally impossible for the sword holder in the headquarters to know this Renne. Otherwise, I can learn something about the situation." Greenwood shook his head and said.

"It seems that only the Duke personally took action in this matter and contacted the relevant person in charge at the Sword Bearer Headquarters in the Imperial City." Owen nodded, agreeing with Greenwood's analysis.

"However, although I am not this Ren's opponent, I have a basic understanding of the opponent's strength. This Ren's talent is amazing, and he actually pursues the path of knights and wizards at the same time. It is really stupid."

"I can be sure that this situation will occur because the other party has never had any guidance from a famous teacher."

"By the way, Mr. Owen, do you really want to persuade my uncle to give up his shares in the Munster Branch?"

"Hahaha, how is this possible? It's just a stopgap measure to allow us to get out as soon as possible." Owen couldn't help laughing loudly.

"Then if he comes to the imperial capital and comes to ask for help, wouldn't it bring shame to the Durham family?" Greenwood said hesitantly.

He still attaches great importance to family honor.

"Haha, I'm afraid he won't come. As long as he comes to the imperial capital, he will know what the imperial family is. Even if he is an adamantine-level sword holder, he will find it difficult to move forward."

As if he thought of something, Greenwood's eyes lit up slightly and he said, "What do you mean, Mr. Owen?"

"As long as this Renne comes to report to the Sword Bearer Headquarters in the Imperial City, I will know immediately. By then, I believe that the Duke will activate his connections and let this Renne complete some tasks that are difficult enough."

"That's right! Even adamantine-level sword wielders have assigned tasks."

"Moreover, the situation in the empire has been particularly turbulent in the past six months. Many missions are extremely dangerous. Even adamantine-level sword holders have suffered more than double-digit casualties." Greenwood's eyes widened and he smiled. Yes, he nodded in agreement.

In Greenwood's view, this is the foundation of the Durham family as a wealthy empire.

Although the other party has amazing talent, he comes from a "small town problem solver" and will never understand what a wealthy family is.

He doesn't have to have a head-on conflict with Ren at all. Over hundreds of years, the dense network of connections woven by the Durham family can lead the other party to death step by step. Even when he dies, he doesn't know who did it. .

"That's right! By then, our Lord Ren, after his sacrifice, is likely to receive a commendation from His Majesty the Emperor."

"There is a saying that dead heroes are the best heroes." Butler Owen said with a sly smile.

——

In the following time, Ren still went out early and came back late, and went to Julis's tailor shop.

Of course, he tries his best to accompany his family for three meals a day.

During this period, including the Duke of Munster, Bishop Theon, and the disciplinary knight Branduer, they all invited Renn to have dinner and have a small gathering.

Day eight.

Renn has already pushed the tailor to lv9 (22/10000). It stands to reason that, referring to the previous blacksmith, after lv5, he should be able to get clues, or tips, for promotion to the subsequent career panel.

However, Renne has rushed the tailor to level 9, but he has not received relevant prompts yet. This is obviously unreasonable.

This made Ren frown slightly and think about it, because after the tailor reaches level 9, the long experience bar has been improving slowly. According to preliminary estimates, it will take at least half a month to advance to level 10.

This doesn't fit in with Ren's plan.

Before he planned to go to the Imperial Capital, he had saved at least 15 skill points, 12 of which would be used to improve a certain second-level witchcraft that might be obtained at the headquarters and quickly form combat effectiveness.

The remaining 3 points are used to upgrade the second level of Iron Heart's advanced meditation method.

After thinking for a moment, Ren felt that the problem was probably due to the fact that he had too few tailoring clothing styles.

Because up to now, he has been improving the tailor's professional level by making mithril patterned shirts.

"Julis, please teach me how to make some other clothing, such as trousers, gloves, etc." Ren turned around and said to the gentle and beautiful woman beside him.

"Uh sure."

Julis had asked Renn before if he wanted to learn how to make other clothing, but since Renn found that the experience of mithril patterned shirts was high enough, and after he became proficient in it, he was so fast that he would not make any more. Go waste time and learn other clothing making.

However, things are different now.

A few hours later, as Renne mastered several new tailoring skills in succession, the system prompt for subsequent job transfer finally came belatedly:

[You have made linen soft shoes, and your related understanding has improved! 】

[You have learned a new skill - making linen soft shoes]

[Your skill in making linen soft shoes is improved, experience value +5]

[If you successfully make a pair of soft linen shoes, your tailoring career experience will be +2]

[You have made a white woolen robe, and your related understanding has improved! 】

[You have learned a new skill - white woolen robe]

[Your skill in making white woolen robes has been improved, experience value +7]

[You successfully make a white woolen robe, and your tailoring career experience value +3]

【bite! It is detected that the host has mastered the tailoring skills of five different garments, triggering a job change - Tailor Master! 】

[The prerequisites for becoming a tailor master are: 1. Tailoring level 5 or above; 2. Strength 7 or above, constitution 7 points, spirit 9 points or above; 3. Mastering ten tailoring skills for different garments. The current conditions are not met! Failed to be promoted to Tailor Master! 】

Seeing this scene, Renn smiled slightly.

"It seems that my previous thinking was correct."

"Huh? Tailor Master is still an ordinary profession, not extraordinary?" Renn frowned and said.

However, soon, Ren's brows widened, and he couldn't help but smile in his heart, and said: "That's right, the blacksmith's subsequent transfer to armor caster was not extraordinary, but he was misled by the word 'master'. "

After spending another half day, and after Ren mastered five more new skills from Julis, the system prompt sounded again:

[The prerequisites for tailor promotion to tailor master are: 1. Tailoring level 5 or above; 2. Strength 7 or above, constitution 7 points, spirit 9 points or above; 3. Mastering ten tailoring skills for different garments. The current conditions are met, yes/no Become a tailor master? 】

[Note: After switching to Tailor Master, the original Tailor panel will be integrated into the Tailor Master career panel. 】

"yes!"

【bite! Successfully switched to tailoring master job! Agility +1, Spirit +2! The tailor's core skill 'Skilled Hands' is promoted to the tailor master's core skill 'Smart Hands'. 】

"Interesting, the core skills of tailoring will actually be promoted."

Renn couldn't help but focus on the new core skill 'Ingenuity', and saw the description of its skill as follows:

[Core Skills: Ingenuity (Active)]

Ingenuity (active) effect: After the skill is turned on, concentration and hand speed increase.

(Note: The duration of this skill is directly proportional to the host’s physical fitness and mental strength.)

Out of curiosity about the new core skill, Renn saw a slight movement in his mind and activated the core skill of 'mental agility'.

Suddenly, due to Ren's extremely keen perception, the whispers of the female clerks in the next room and the hustle and bustle of the street nearby gradually faded away from his ears.

It was as if all that was left in the world was him, the cloth and needlework in his hands.

At the same time, he could feel that the flexibility of his hands had improved significantly.

Ryan's extremely high agility made his hands extremely fast. At this moment, after activating the core skill of "skillful hands", it reached a level that was completely invisible.

Moreover, this speed was not the kind of chaotic speed, but the orderly speed.

A few seconds later, a mithril-patterned shirt was completed.

Julis, who was shocked on the side, instinctively picked up the mithril-patterned shirt that Ryan had just made in a few seconds. After just one look, her beautiful eyes widened and her mouth opened slightly, and she was stunned!

After a few seconds, she said in a daze: "Lord Viscount Zi, I think your tailoring skills have completely surpassed mine."

On the shirt, the spacing between each pinhole of the mithril line was as if it was sewn by a machine, with extremely high precision. Moreover, the two mithril-patterned lines on the chest were like parallel lines, and the spacing was exactly the same from beginning to end.

Ordinary tailors may not have such tailoring skills even if they practice hard for a lifetime.

Even Yulis, the talented master tailor, can only make one or two pieces of this level when she performs very well.

But she started learning tailoring at the age of eight and is now 42 years old.

"No, Yulis, I'm still a new tailor and need to learn some new styles." Ryan smiled and said.

Just now, he saw the system prompt that after being promoted to master tailor, the experience value that the mithril pattern shirt can bring him has dropped significantly.

He needs a more complicated and precious clothing production to quickly improve the professional level of the master tailor.

But the problem is that after a chat, Ryan found that the more complicated clothing styles that Yulis mastered were all women's dresses, and at the same time, they needed to master various lace and embroidery skills.

This made Ryan frown slightly.

After all, it was already exaggerated for a male noble to learn tailoring, and it was a bit abnormal to stay in a tailor shop every day to make women's dresses.

After thinking about it, Ryan decided to continue making mithril-decorated shirts.

Although it was a little slower, he was skilled enough and had new core skills, so he would not be too slow.

Of course, the main reason was that the time to the imperial capital of Tamriel was getting closer and closer.

In the next two days, he successfully upgraded the professional level of the master tailor to lv4 (3/1000), and gained 3 skill points and 3 attribute points.

So far, plus the rewards he received when he upgraded his professional level while tailoring, the total remaining attribute points are now 12 points, the remaining skill points are 16 points, and as for the gold skill points, it is 54 points.

It can be said that the predetermined goal has been successfully achieved.

At this time, Ryan was thinking about two things in his mind.

The first thing is whether he will take Anna with him when he goes to the imperial capital?

For the wealthy family of the imperial capital, the Durham family had no scruples about taking action in the city of Munster. Once he was not in Munster, Vieri alone would probably not be able to stop the other party.

But if Anna went to the imperial capital together, there would also be a problem.

The residence arranged by the Sword Bearer Headquarters was inside, and outsiders could not stay there either, which meant that Ryan had to find a place to stay in the imperial capital.

Of course, the safest way was to let Anna return to Ferdinand Forest and contact Anna after he had found the trace of Anna's mother.

The second thing was that a few days ago, the Ice Claw Bear Mercenary Group sent a letter saying that the escort of Lagre was on the way to Munster.

But in terms of time, he was afraid that he would not be able to meet them.

"No, Ryan, I want to go with you." Anna looked at Ryan with her beautiful eyes and said.

"This."

"Don't worry, if it doesn't work, there is a mansion of our elven ambassador in Tamriel, and I can wait for your news there."

"Yeah? There is an ambassador's mansion?"

"Yeah!" Anna nodded heavily.

"Okay then." Ryan nodded.

There is no problem in this case. After all, the safety of the ambassador's residence represents the face of the empire. It can be said to be one of the safest places in the entire imperial capital.

The next morning.

After saying goodbye to his family, Ryan and Anna boarded the airship to the imperial capital Tamriel.

On the airship platform, Admiral Edward came to see them off in person, and people familiar to Ryan, such as Olena and Vieri, also saw them off.

A day and a half later.

The airship was getting closer and closer to the imperial capital Tamriel.

At this time, many people, like Ryan and Anna, had walked out of the cabin and stood by the side of the ship looking into the distance.

"Ryan, look!"

Anna suddenly pointed to a vast, lush forest in the distance and exclaimed.

Hmm?

Ryan looked along Anna's slender fingertips and saw a large area of ​​crisscrossing roads and towering buildings in the dense forest in the distance. Although the distance was very far, he could still vaguely distinguish that these buildings were tall and varied in style.

As the airship got closer, others also saw the gradually clear outline of the imperial capital, and suddenly, they all exclaimed.

The passengers in the cabin came out one after another, and in just a few minutes, the ship's side was crowded.

Because the ticket price of the imperial airship was expensive, and those on this floor were either wealthy businessmen or nobles, they had basically seen the world, but even so, when everyone saw this giant city in front of them, they couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Mother, is this Tamriel, the capital of our Dragun Empire? It's so spectacular." A little girl in her early teens, not much older than Ryan's sister, wearing a white lace dress, was amazed.

"Well, this is Tamriel, and it's also the heart of our entire empire." The noble lady next to him also looked at Tamriel in the distance and said.

"Every time I come here, I look down at Tamriel from the air, and I have different feelings about this great city." An old man with a mustache next to him exclaimed.

This is not the first time he has come to the imperial capital, but every time he comes, he will be shocked by the greatness of civilization and the strength of the empire.

"Yes, the imperial capital is really magnificent!" A middle-aged man in aristocratic hunting suit next to him couldn't help but agree with the scene in front of him.

Ryan found that Anna next to him was amazed, but her expression was a little strange.

"Anna, what's wrong with you?"

"Uh, Ryan, do you know what Tamriel means in Elvish?"

"Oh? Could it be that the imperial capital Tamriel was once an elf city?" Ryan suddenly thought of something and said in surprise.

Because the pronunciation of Tamriel is very different from the common language.

Moreover, with his far superior vision, at this time, he has also discovered some buildings with obviously different architectural styles, cylindrical towers, round arches, spires, and Ryan can even see the ancient and complex patterns on the outer walls.

These seem to be the words and architectural styles of the elves.

"Yes, Tamriel means 'eternal beauty' in Elvish. In ancient times, it was the imperial capital of the elves."

"But later, with the war, the elves slowly retreated into the depths of the forest, and this place became the capital of the human empire." Anna seemed a little depressed when she talked about this.

"I see." Ryan nodded.

No wonder the imperial capital Tamriel is actually in the center of a vast forest.

As the airships got closer, the roads below became more and more dense, but each road was filled with various caravans and travelers, coming and going.

Even the sky felt crowded at this moment.

"Wow, so many airships, are they all flying to the imperial capital from different provinces?" The little girl just now pointed at the dozens of airships scattered in the sky in surprise and asked.

These airships were of different sizes, but they were all heading or leaving in the direction of Tamriel.

You know, in Munster, it is basically the limit to see three airships in the sky at one time, and they are generally small airships.

But now, most of the airships that came into everyone's eyes were medium-sized airships, and there were even two large airships.

"Look! What is that? How can there be so many huge pits!" A male noble seemed to have seen something that frightened him, and his voice trembled slightly.

Ryan narrowed his eyes and looked at the ground.

Just below them, near the forest at the edge of the city, in the lush woodland, there were many obvious huge pits.

Just now, they were all looking at the airship in the sky, but ignored the ground.

"There are also over there!" another person shouted.

"There are more in the city!"

Immediately, Ryan looked at the building complex in the center of Tamriel.

I saw that the huge white building complex with a pointed roof and an independent wall was still under repair, and there were traces of repairs of many pits on the ground.

And as the palace went out, it was clear from time to time that the pits and damaged houses that had not been completely repaired were clearly visible.

Although many people on the airship did not know what happened in the imperial capital a month ago, Ryan knew very well that this was the trace of the war.
