The wizard starts by trimming the donkey's hooves

Ryan first thought about what Buchanan had just said, and found that if he had not been carrying the system, the other party's suggestion could be said to be quite tempting, and it would be almost impossible to refuse to join the Dragon Scale Brotherhood.

"It can be imagined that the Dragon Scale Brotherhood mentioned by the other party should have recruited quite a number of people with dragon blood to join."

"Although the probability of other people in the empire having dragon blood is extremely low except for the royal heirs, even if it is only one in a hundred thousand or even one in a million, it can be calculated according to the vast territory and large population of the empire."

"I'm afraid. This number is also hundreds or thousands."

"The purpose of the second prince leading the establishment of this hermitage is really to provide a platform for communication and improvement for the owners of dragon blood?"

"Also, what do the blood polluters and breakers mentioned by the other party just now mean? It seems that they are very eager to join the Dragon Scale Brotherhood."

"It seems that I have to look up the relevant information." Ryan looked thoughtful, and in an instant, he thought of several questions.

However, the information he knew was too little and he couldn't judge it yet.

After thinking for a while, Ryan turned his attention to the red potion in the wooden box on the coffee table.

After a little perception, Ryan picked up the bottle of the so-called Dragon Vein Evolution Potion and looked at it carefully.

The potion emitting a hazy red witchcraft aura was particularly beautiful in the sun, but somehow, Ryan always felt like it was a blooming poppy.

Under an extreme beauty, there was a hint of evil.

His body seemed to have a desire for the potion in front of him, but the feeling was not strong. What was more special was that when Ryan just had the idea of ​​taking it to try, he felt a hint of danger.

"Interesting, it seems to have a certain promotion to my mutant dragon bloodline, but the gain should not be great."

"And it seems to have some potential unknown harm." Ryan stared at the red potion in front of him and thought to himself.

"If there is a chance, I can find out how this mixture is made. If the potential harm can be eliminated and only the positive effects are left, it would be good."

After thinking about it, although the system may be able to eliminate the potential danger, Ryan did not decide to drink it, but put it back into the wooden box and put it away properly.

Since the test of 'Steel Armor' was just interrupted by Buchanan's arrival, Ryan now came to the training room again, intending to test a new combination of witchcraft.

However, Ryan accidentally glanced at the bottom of the attribute panel and found that there were still 64 gold skill points left, which surprised him.

You know, although he had 95 gold skill points before, he consumed them twice in a row.

Each time, the improved second-level talent witchcraft 'Cutting Net' consumed 28 points, and the deduced combination witchcraft 'Steel Armor' consumed 42 points, a total of 70 points.

But soon he looked enlightened.

Because Ryan had not checked the previous battle records with Staven and the incarnation of the evil god.

Ryan quickly flipped through the list:

[Congratulations, you defeated a powerful enemy and gained 39 gold skill points! ]

[Congratulations, your Will (Hidden) attribute has been upgraded! ]

[Congratulations, your Warhammer Wizard (Legend) class level has been upgraded! ]

[Congratulations, your Thousand Blade King (Epic) class level has been upgraded! ]

"Hey, both classes have been upgraded, not bad."

Although the Thousand Blade King (Epic) class level was as high as lv13 before, and it required a huge amount of experience points to upgrade, it was finally upgraded due to the accumulation of Ryan's last kill of the Abyss Fire Rock Giant, plus this fierce battle with the incarnation of the evil god Neyobrekhan.

Thousand Blade King (Epic) has entered lv14.

In addition, it was thanks to Ryan's repeated use of sorcery in battle, including the use of activation to control the Hellfire Golem to fight.

The Warhammer Wizard (Legend) class level has also entered lv12 from lv11.

The two combined allowed Ryan to gain 2 attribute points and 2 skill points.

In addition, Ryan had been training as a potion master for some time, and his professional level had reached level 6. His attribute points reached 25 points. After deducting the 5 points consumed in the battle, plus these 2 points, the remaining attribute points are currently 22 points.

As for the skill points, it was 12 points before, plus the 2 points this time, a total of 14 points.

As for the gold skill points, although they were consumed twice in a row for deduction, the gold skill points gained in the battle were as high as 39 points, so there are still 64 points left.

"It seems that after getting familiar with the combination witchcraft 'Steel Armor', I can learn the third-level metal witchcraft 'Thorn Iron Ball'."

"The current skill points are enough to improve it and quickly form combat effectiveness."

After a little thought, Ryan decided on the next witchcraft training plan.

"Level 1 Talent Magic 'Metal Transfiguration'!"

"Level 2 Magic 'Iron Armor'!"

"Level 3 Talent Magic 'Steel Armor'!"

"Combined Magic: Steel Armor!"

As Ryan cast three spells in a row at great speed, his whole body was covered with a layer of thick armor that shone with a rich dark silver magic aura.

"Huh, it's actually the shape of armor?" Ryan looked at the mirror in the training room and was a little surprised at his own shape in the mirror.

You should know that before, whether it was the second-level witchcraft "Iron Armor" or the third-level witchcraft "Steel Armor", or even the water-based protective witchcraft "Water Film", etc., they were all protective witchcraft similar to membrane form or close-fitting shields.

But at this moment, the combined witchcraft "Iron Armor" on his body is a protective witchcraft that looks very much like knight armor.

It was the first time that Ryan saw this kind of protective witchcraft.

In addition, although the effect of this combined witchcraft looks like knight armor, the defensive effects of the two are very different!

First of all, the witchcraft defense effect. At this moment, Ryan's whole person exudes a strong metallic witchcraft aura because of the "Iron Armor". Obviously, whether it is a melee attack or a witchcraft attack, it has a strong defense.

Of course, the specific defense degree must be measured before it can be known.

The second is flexibility. Ordinary metal armor, no matter what material it is, will have a sense of heaviness and inconvenience.

Because of the articulation problem of the armor at the joints, even if soft top-layer cowhide is used, the defense is reduced and it is still not particularly flexible.

But Ryan's current 'Steel Armor' was shining with dark silver light, and the metal at the joints was flowing like mercury, greatly improving his flexibility.

Ryan's mind moved slightly, and the hardened fine gold ingot in his hand quickly transformed into a two-handed sword.

Ryan, covered with 'Steel Armor', ran, chopped, and stabbed quickly in the field, and finally, he performed the secret.

After a test, Ryan found that, not to mention the difference in defense, his flexibility was at least one level higher than that of him wearing the magic silver armor before.

At this time, a thought suddenly flashed through Ryan's mind.

He first looked up at the height of the training room, and then performed the transformation.

However, this time, Ryan only opened the first form, that is, the dragon warrior transformation, and his body suddenly soared to more than five meters.

Then, he performed the combination witchcraft 'Steel Armor'.

Soon, his strong body in the form of a dragon warrior was covered with a whole set of thick knight armor that flashed with witchcraft.

"Not bad! It doesn't affect flexibility at all." Ryan looked down and couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"Now, if the enemy wants to hurt me, they must first break through this layer of "iron armor" formed by combined witchcraft, and then break through my dragon scale defense." Ryan clenched the dragon claws that seemed to be wearing crucible gloves, thinking secretly.

"Flexible and thick, my melee ability is stronger!"

"Huh, this seems a bit wrong. I strengthened my strength on the witchcraft side, but how come it finally turned into a strengthening of the melee side in terms of combat power!"

Ryan instantly thought of a problem.

After a little thought, Ryan couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Don't worry about which side, the improvement of strength is the most important."

After testing several times, Ryan returned to the study.

Just as he took out the parchment scroll of the third-level metal magic ‘Iron Ball of Thorns’ and was about to learn it, he suddenly remembered another thing.

Ryan concentrated and slightly operated the second-level Iron Heart Meditation Method.

"Sure enough, after entering the crystallization, the effect of the second level of the Iron Heart Advanced Meditation Method began to decline significantly, and the role in promoting the process of continuing the crystallization of mental power was even more negligible."

This result was also expected. Soon, Ryan once again focused his attention on the parchment scroll recording the ‘Iron Ball of Thorns’.

At the same time.

After walking out of Ryan's mansion, Buchanan immediately boarded a luxurious carriage waiting at the door.

Soon, the carriage returned to the mansion of the second prince Everton.

In the study, Everton, who was looking through some intelligence, glanced outside the door and saw that it was Buchanan who came back. He asked casually:

"Buchanan, how is the Mother Tree Sect's action in Ferdinand Forest?"

Buchanan immediately realized that the Second Prince must have seen the intelligence in Ferdinand Forest. After a little thought, he replied:

"Your Highness, the other party launched a surprise attack based on the defense intelligence of the elf outpost camps we provided, and the harvest was fruitful. Now the other party has sent a letter and will send more than ten female elf captives to the Dragon Scale Nest."

"Very good, with this batch of elf captives, the problem of raw materials should be solved in a short time." The second prince showed a satisfied smile on his feminine face and said.

"By the way, notify Lin Duen and King and ask them to speed up the research and development of the compound."

"Yes, Your Highness, I will contact these two pharmacist masters immediately."

However, before Buchanan left, the second prince Everton asked again: "By the way, the owner of the dragon blood you met today is called Ryan, right?"

"Well, the other party is very young and strong, but his character is quite cautious. He first politely rejected the invitation of the Dragon Scale Brotherhood that I mentioned to him."

"Until I said that you are the examiner of the Dragon Knight Reserve this time, the other party's attitude of rejection softened." Buchanan reported in detail.

"Well, it's okay. One more or one less owner of the dragon blood is not the focus for the Dragon Scale Brotherhood."

"Our focus now is still on the experiment."

Obviously, Everton didn't care at all when he heard that Ryan was not very active in joining.

After all, there are many people with dragon blood in the entire empire.

"By the way, Your Highness, this is a replica of the other party's dragon aura."

At this time, Buchanan seemed to have thought of something, took out something similar to a pocket watch from his arms, and handed it to the second prince Everton respectfully.

The pocket watch-like witchcraft creation in front of me has only one function: it is to record the dragon breath of people nearby.

With this, the second prince Everton can quickly understand the approximate origin, concentration, etc. of the opponent's bloodline.

When the second prince Everton took it, he had a casual expression at first. After holding it in his hand and feeling it for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up and he whispered.

"Huh? This kind of dragon breath."

"Your Highness?" Buchanan looked at his prince in confusion.

Is it possible that there is something weird about Ren's dragon bloodline?

"The other party's dragon blood aura is very strong. Although it is not as good as that of Lenara and I, it is no less than that of ordinary royal children."

"And what's even more rare is the feeling this aura gives me. It's not the blood of the ordinary black dragon, red dragon or other five-color dragons, but a bit like the aura of a metal dragon that has long since disappeared from this world."

"Metal dragon?" Buchanan became even more confused.

"Well, there is a faint smell of metal particles in it."

"Forget it, you won't understand even if I talk too much." The second prince Everton shook his head and said.

"Adjust this Ren's attention level to level one. In addition, you should investigate the other party's interpersonal relationships and see where to find a breakthrough."

"This Renn must be recruited into the Dragon Scale Brotherhood."

"His bloodline will probably be of great use!"

"As you command, Your Highness!" Buchanan immediately bowed and said respectfully.

Just when Buchanan left the second prince Everton's study and walked into the front garden, he saw a guard walking over quickly and whispered:

"My lord, Duke Drum is here. He is waiting in the carriage not far from the gate of the mansion. Look."

Buchanan thought for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "No need to bother, I'll go out and see him right now."

He naturally knew the purpose of Duke Drum's visit.

However, this time the other party is afraid that things will backfire.

A few minutes later, inside the carriage.

"Sir Buchanan, regarding this Renn, your Highness," Duke Drum said, with a hint of hope in his eyes.

"I'm sorry, Lord Duke, I'm afraid this matter has disappointed you. His Royal Highness the Second Prince is very interested in this Ren, and even sent me to invite him to join the Dragonscale Brotherhood, so..."

"What?" Duke Drum's face darkened and he said.

Ever since he received the first-hand news from the stronghold and learned that Stavin's attack failed, Duke Drum had been a little uneasy.

It's not that he was worried that Ren would discover clues about the attack and murder. The few of them only played a role in fueling the whole thing. The one who was really responsible for the execution was the Aesodre school.

But he realized that Ren's growth rate was too fast.

A veteran wizard like Stavin, who has been famous for decades and has the top necromancy weapon "Iron Spine Necromancer Breastplate" in his hand, is no match for Renn.

From this point of view, with the opponent's talent, there is a high probability that he will become the guardian of the empire in the near future.

And if the other party is still thinking about the previous conflict with the Durham family, then sooner or later, this Renne will become a serious problem for the family.

By then, even with Pantoskir's ancestors present, they may not be able to suppress the opponent.

"Did the other party agree?" After thinking about it, Duke Drum asked again.

"Not yet, but if Ren is wise enough, he should agree."

"Okay, I understand, thank you Mr. Buchanan."

Upon hearing this, Duke Drum's face returned to calmness. After thinking for a moment, he said goodbye to Buchanan.

After returning to the Durham family mansion, Duke Durham meditated for a while alone in the study.

"Somebody come!"

"Your Majesty the Duke." A new young butler immediately walked into the study and bowed.

Obviously, this new butler is the candidate to replace the original butler Owen.

"Has the news about Renne spread?" Duke Drum asked.

"It has spread. According to Mr. Owen's report a few days ago, the information about Ren's killing of many high-level officials of different cult organizations has been disclosed to the relevant cult organizations."

"Very good." Duke Drum nodded and said.

Although the Durham family supports the second prince, it does not mean that they need to obey orders. As a wealthy family in the empire, it is normal for the Guardian family to have their own demands without violating the overall framework.

Even if Ren joined the Dragon Scale Brotherhood, if he was killed by the cult organization, it would be because of his own lack of strength and had nothing to do with the Durham family.

at the same time.

The third ring road of the Imperial Capital, Ren's Mansion.

After about two hours of study, Renn, who thought he had initially mastered the new witchcraft, first came to the training room. Just when he was about to raise his hand to cast the 'Thorn Iron Ball', he suddenly lowered it.

"The power of level three witchcraft is still a bit too great. Perhaps it would be better for me to go to the witchcraft testing room at the headquarters."

After all, Ren didn't want New Witchcraft to demolish his new mansion if he failed.

Soon, Renn arrived at the Sword Bearer's headquarters in a carriage.

Under the guidance of the female staff member, Renne quickly arrived at the third-level witchcraft testing room.

"Sir Ren, if you need anything, you can ring the bell and call me at any time."

"Okay, thank you." Ryan nodded and said.

"It's my honor to serve you!" The young female employee smiled and bowed.

After the other party left, Ryan walked to the giant cylindrical metal block placed on the slide and began to recite the spell.

Soon, a solid iron ball with a diameter of two meters, rotating at high speed, appeared out of thin air.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss!"

The surface of the iron ball was covered with dense spikes of varying lengths, rubbing against the ground with sparks flying.

As Ryan waved his right hand, there was a sound of "whoosh", accompanied by huge kinetic energy, the giant iron ball drew a straight line and hit the smooth cut surface of the metal ingot at a high speed!

"Boom!!!"

A deafening sound echoed in the room!

The giant cylindrical metal block on the slide was almost hit on the head by this blow.

Even the floor of the room was slightly shaken.

Ryan looked closely and saw that the spiked iron ball formed by the third-level witchcraft "Thorn Iron Ball" was directly embedded in the giant metal ingot.

"Clang clang!"

At the same time, the metal block weighing dozens of tons was vibrating back and forth on the slide rail.

And on the black wisdom stone slab next to it, a large value was displayed-191!

"It's so powerful!" Ryan's eyes lit up and said.

"Although the attack method of this thorn iron ball is a bit monotonous, its power is really amazing."

You should know that the power of the general third-level witchcraft is basically between 120 and 200 degrees.

Now, relying on the super metal element affinity and the special effect of the Iron Heart Advanced Meditation Method, the lethality of Ryan's third-level witchcraft has almost reached the upper edge of the power of the third-level witchcraft.

According to the effect description in the parchment scroll, the diameter of a normal thorn iron ball should be about 1.5 meters.

But the iron ball that Ryan had just cast, regardless of the length of the spikes, had a diameter of two meters.

At this time, the system prompt also appeared:

[You have learned the thorn iron ball, and your understanding has improved! ]

[You have learned a new skill - thorn iron ball]

[Your skill thorn iron ball has been improved, experience value +5]

At the same time, a new icon appeared below the Warhammer Wizard (Legend) panel.

The pattern on the icon is a huge metal ball with jagged spikes.

In addition, the small text below the icon is as follows:

Thorn iron ball lv1 (1/100)

Thorn iron ball lv1 effect: consume a certain amount of mental power, use a specific witchcraft model to attract the surrounding metal energy particles, form a giant thorn iron ball, and collide and crush all targets in a straight line.

(Note: The casting time is 3 seconds.)

"For all targets in a straight line?"

Ryan immediately grasped a feature of this new witchcraft.

Although the proficiency of the third-level witchcraft is several times more difficult than that of the second-level witchcraft, Ryan was well prepared.

Without much hesitation, Ryan invested 11 skill points and 8 gold skill points in the third-level witchcraft "Thorn Iron Ball" in an instant.

As the third-level witchcraft "Thorn Iron Ball" was upgraded from lv1 to lv20, a magnificent memory of the witchcraft "Thorn Iron Ball" suddenly flooded into Ryan's mind.

For a moment, Ryan seemed to have come to a mysterious space, and kept practicing the third-level witchcraft "Thorn Iron Ball" for one or two hundred years, compressing the syllables to the extreme, and casting the spell was like instinct.

The next morning.

In the inner ring of the imperial capital Tamriel, a carriage slowly stopped at the door of the Snyder family mansion where "Chimaera Knight" Luther was.

As Ryan got off the carriage, two tall knights with extraordinary demeanor who had been waiting at the door of the mansion walked up quickly.

"Sir Ryan, long time no see! Your recent record is really jaw-dropping!" Luther greeted Ryan enthusiastically when he saw him.

"Yes, Sir Ryan, the news that you killed the strongest legendary 'Sculptor' Harold has almost spread throughout the imperial capital noble circle recently." Harlowen also smiled and echoed.

"Sir Luther, Sir Harlowen, long time no see, both of you have improved again, congratulations." Ryan smiled.

He just felt it a little bit and found that Harlowen and Luther's strength seemed to have improved slightly.

Obviously, these two people have not been idle recently, and they should also be actively preparing for the selection of dragon knight reserves.

After a brief greeting, the three came to the reception room and sat down.

At this time, Ryan asked directly: "Sir Luther, I would like to ask, what is the specific method of the selection of dragon knight reserves next week?"
