The wizard starts by trimming the donkey's hooves

"This" Trena blushed slightly.

But when she thought about what Vice Speaker Bertrand had talked to her not long ago, she just nodded and said:

"Of course, Mr. Ryan, there is a lounge next door, let's talk inside."

Rebecca looked at her mother in shock.

In her memory, her mother, Trena, had always been rude to the men who pursued her since her father's death.

But when faced with Ryan's invitation to talk alone, he agreed immediately.

What about feminine modesty?

Could it be that my mother really has a crush on Ryan?

Rebecca felt that some of her previous ideas about her mother had completely collapsed!

"No, no, it should be because Ryan, together with several other strong men, killed Ghazrian in the battle, so mother expressed her gratitude to Ryan on behalf of the Federation."

"That must be it."

"What mother just did was an official act!"

After some thought, Rebecca finally found a reason to comfort herself.

However, she felt uncomfortable as she watched her mother and Ryan disappear at the door of the lounge.

In the lounge.

Trena and Ryan sat next to each other.

It had been many years since Treina had encountered a single man and a single woman together.

She glanced at Ryan, her cheeks slightly red, and she smoothed her hair a little embarrassedly to ease the tension in her heart.

Originally, Ryan wanted to ask Treina directly about the subsequent fourth-level witchcraft matters of the Sawtooth Ring.

However, when he saw the mature beauty Trena lifting her hair and her charming blushing cheeks, his heart was moved for some reason and he couldn't help but look up and down at the beautiful woman in front of him.

Her fair oval face looked dignified and elegant, and with a blush on it, it added a bit of charm.

She has a plump upper body, a slender waist and peach-shaped buttocks. In terms of figure, she is not inferior to that of a young girl.

Plus the other party's identity as a federal congressman

Ryan suddenly felt a warm current rising in his lower abdomen, and his mouth became a little dry.

However, Ryan, who had become a Dawn Wizard, quickly realized this.

"Huh? My reaction is a bit exaggerated. Could it be that I am affected by the dragon bloodline?"

"But now is not the time for romance. My main focus should be to find out about the subsequent witchcraft." Ryan thought to himself.

When faced with major events, Ryan still knows what is primary and what is secondary.

"Ahem, Councillor Trena, I really like the several metal-related witchcrafts that you entrusted His Excellency Hamady to give me last time."

"But I found that there should be a fourth-level metal magic to follow."

"Senator Trena, would you be willing to..."

After hearing what Ryan said, Treina was no longer nervous.

It turns out that Mr. Ryan wanted to ask me about this matter.

Before coming, Trena had read the information.

We have been prepared for this.

In fact, the federal intelligence department’s opinion is that the subsequent fourth-level metal witchcraft can be given to Ryan, but Ryan must agree to join the federation.

Even if Ryan cannot join immediately, he must at least agree to join the Federation's intelligence system.

Of course, Treina knew the purpose of doing this was to use blackmail. Once Ryan broke his promise, the secret of having joined the federal intelligence system would be exposed.

However, Treina immediately raised her objection to this.

The reason is simple. If she is the one in charge of this matter, then we must do it according to her wishes.

Besides, she didn't think Ryan was someone who would accept blackmail.

"Of course, the subsequent fourth-level metal witchcraft is with me."

"If Lord Ryan needs it, I will give it to you after we arrive at Antuhor."

Um?

Hearing what Treina said, Ryan was slightly stunned!

You agree now?

Hearing that Trena agreed so easily was obviously beyond Ryan's expectations.

A rare fourth-level metal-based witchcraft, needless to say how valuable it is.

Even if the other party has a good impression of him, it would not be justified to give him such a valuable item directly.

For Ryan, he knows some important things clearly.

There is no such thing as pie falling from the sky.

After thinking for a while, Ryan's face became serious and he said, "Well, Councillor Trena, please forgive me for being frank. What do I need to do?"

Seeing Ryan's expression, Trena hesitated and said a little embarrassedly:

"Well, Lord Ryan, I just saw Rebecca chatting with you. You two are of similar age, and both of you are metal wizards. You should have a lot in common, right?"

Um?

Ryan was puzzled when he heard this.

Why did you mention Rebecca all of a sudden?

"Well, Rebecca has very high standards. She almost never chats with young men alone."

"What do you think of Rebecca?" Seeing Ryan's puzzled expression, Treina had no choice but to speak directly.

this.

Ryan was speechless.

Is Councillor Trena in front of him planning to introduce her daughter Rebecca to him?

But to be honest, although Rebecca is very beautiful, Ryan has no feelings for her in any way.

Thinking of this, Ryan looked up at the noble and mature female councillor next to him.

If it were the person in front of me

It’s not that it’s not something that can’t be considered.

When Treina saw that Ryan didn't say anything for a long time and instead looked at her, she couldn't help but blush. She felt embarrassed and happy, but also a little angry.

Sure enough, the intelligence was correct. Lord Ryan was young, but he liked mature women like me. It was a unique preference.

It seems that my previous plan to match Rebecca up has basically failed.

"Well, Senator Trena, Miss Rebecca is very beautiful, but all she and I talked about was the topic of golem making. I think she should have a better partner." Ryan declined.

Marrying a girl you don’t like very much just for the sake of level 4 witchcraft?

Ryan rejected the idea immediately.

"Look, is there anything else I need to do?" Ryan asked.

"Sir Ryan, can you become the guardian knight of the Principality of Heidelberg?" Trena thought for a moment and said.

Naturally, she had a reason for proposing this condition.

As long as Ryan becomes the guardian knight of the principality, he can gradually evolve into the guardian of the federation.

Guardian Knight?

Ryan naturally knew what the Guardian Knight needed to do.

As the name suggests, the Family Guardian Knight protects a family. The only family Ryan has ever promised to protect was the Crowley family, where Jennifer belongs.

But in fact, Jennifer is the head of the Crowley family now, and Jennifer is his person, so it's natural that there is no problem.

As for the personal guardian knight, the only one Ryan has agreed to is Claire.

"I'm sorry, my identity is quite sensitive, and it is indeed difficult for me to agree to your request, Ms. Trena."

"Well, do you think this is okay? I can promise to be your personal guardian knight." Ryan thought for a moment and said.

After all, the other party's conditions were not harsh, and were even relatively relaxed. However, it was unreasonable for him to serve as the guardian knight of a principality under the Federation in his capacity as the deputy minister of the empire.

Of course, after rejecting the beautiful woman in front of him twice in a row, Ryan also proposed a condition that he could accept.

If it is just for individual guardian knights, then it is much easier to explain.

Moreover, Ryan took a shortcut because as a federal congressman, Treina would not likely encounter any security issues.

In other words, he is a guardian knight more in name only.

When Trena heard this, her face turned even redder.

After all, isn't becoming her guardian knight the equivalent of directly pursuing her?

"Well, okay." Trena thought about it and agreed.

After all, this is a step closer between the two.

Although it is still quite a long way from the minimum requirements of the intelligence agencies.

After Ryan and Trena came out of the lounge.

Rebecca, who had been waiting for a long time, walked up quickly, snorted heavily at Ryan, and pulled her mother away.

Red Queen Menia, who was sitting in the main seat in the hall, looked at Ryan and Trena who had just walked out of the room with her beautiful eyes, and then quickly moved away.

The accompanying Deputy Speaker Bertrand naturally also saw this scene, and the smile on his face became even brighter.

"Your Highness Menia, are you interested in dancing?"

"Thank you. I haven't danced for a long time."

After the banquet.

The imperial delegation prepared to return to their base to rest.

However, at this moment, Ryan, who was about to get on the carriage, was suddenly stopped by Menia.

"Ryan, get in my carriage."

"Okay, Your Highness Menia." Although Ryan was a little confused and didn't know why Menia was looking for him, he immediately nodded and agreed.

Ryan followed Menia, who was wearing a red wizard robe, and got into the same carriage.

However, when Menia stepped into the carriage, the hem of the red wizard robe stretched out quite a bit because of his legs, not only bringing out a gust of fragrant wind, but also revealing a pair of white, round and long legs.

Because of the bending action, the slim-fitting wizard robe outlined Menia's round buttocks in front of Ryan.

This made Ryan pause slightly.

I was deeply impressed by Menia's good figure, which was not inferior to that of the beautiful woman Terena.

However, Ryan took a glance and immediately looked away.

You have to know that Red Queen Menia is a veteran Dawn Wizard with extremely sharp perception. If his gaze stays on her for too long, she will definitely be noticed, and then it will be embarrassing.

After the two of them sat down, Menia looked at Ryan with her beautiful eyes and said bluntly:

"Ryan, you have to be careful of the Federation's sugar-coated bullets."

Menia's words made Ryan blush slightly, but under the dim oil light in the carriage, it was not very clear.

"Well, okay, Your Highness Menia."

"By the way, refuse some personal invitations if you can, and try not to attend them."

"There are also many people in the Federation who do not welcome us. In addition, I have received a message from the Empire's spies in the Federation, and some opposition forces may take action in the near future."

"Oh? Opposition forces?" Ryan thought.

In fact, he knew that there were also opposition within the empire.

For example, many powerful nobles still hold a resolute negative attitude towards cooperating with the Federation. The reasons behind this are complicated, involving both interests and family feuds.

If we trace back the feud, we will get to the story of the founding of the Federation.

The same seems to be true on the federal side.

"Well, especially a force called the Zalar Resistance, which has been very active recently." Menia nodded and said.

"Zarral rebels?" Ryan raised his eyebrows.

He is quite familiar with this.

Before, when he was in Meister, he had killed a brigadier general-level figure on the other side.

Moreover, he had someone interrogate the other party at that time, and it seemed that the Zalal rebels had the military and financial support of the Federation behind them.

It now appears that it is not the federal officials who are behind it, but a part of the opposition forces within the federation that are providing support to the Zalal rebels.

at the same time.

On the street outside the banquet hall, a long row of luxurious carriages with various family crests stretched for several miles along the roadside.

In one of the luxurious carriages, two men sat facing each other.

"Mr. Richmond, I didn't expect that the Empire and the Federation would achieve a great victory in their first cooperation." A middle-aged man in a tuxedo said with a solemn expression.

"It can be expected that those members who advocate a union with the Empire will certainly use this great victory to push the Federal Parliament to further deepen cooperation with the Empire."

"This is not in our interest! So, Lord Richmond, as one of the leaders of the Zalal resistance, you should hurry up and do something."

"Well, we have to do something, otherwise, the Zalal resistance will have no place to stay." A bearded burly man named Richmond said in a deep voice.

"However, please tell Councillors Nelson and Stein that it is too early to draw conclusions now. I hope that you will continue to support us as always."

"In addition, we have made some arrangements, and I think there will be good news soon." Richmond said with a mysterious smile.

"Oh? That's great. I look forward to hearing good news from Lord Richmond." The man in the tuxedo smiled.

Soon, the man in the tuxedo got off the carriage and disappeared into the night.

The next morning.

The mixed airship formation of the Empire and the Federation set off again. The Imperial delegation, accompanied by Vice Speaker Bertrand, Senator Terena, and a group of reception staff, headed to the Federal capital, Antuhor.

In Antuhor, the head of the Imperial delegation, 'Red Queen' Menia, will hold talks with the Speaker of the Federation.

Of course, none of this has anything to do with Ryan.

At this moment, he was in the luxurious cabin of the airship, concentrating on improving the career level of Leatherworking Master.

Two hours later, a pleasant system prompt sounded:

[You have made a Thornwood Coat, and your understanding of the relevant items has improved! ]

[Your skill in making thornwood coat is improved, experience value +12]

[You successfully made a thornwood coat, leatherworking master professional experience value +10]

[Congratulations, your leatherworking master level has been upgraded! ]

"It wasn't easy, but I finally upgraded the leatherworking master to level 10."

Ryan put down the thornwood coat he had just made, looked at the system prompt, and smiled.

Now, he can finally switch to Elf Leatherworking.

As if he had thought of something, Ryan looked at the skill points at the bottom of the attribute panel again.

After killing the 'Ice Sea Kraken' Ghazrian, due to the high level of the Dragon Vein Wizard, the level was only increased by one level, reaching lv16. However, the reward of gold skill points was extremely generous, and 247 points were gained.

Now, the leatherworking master has been upgraded to another level, gaining 1 attribute point and 1 skill point.

So, excluding the 5 attribute points used in the battle, Ryan now has a total of 8 attribute points, plus 24 skill points, and his gold skill is as high as 674 points.

"Yes, I have enough skill points. Once I reach Antuhor and obtain the fourth-level metal sorcery, I will be able to quickly become a combat force."

"I have enough gold skill points, so I should be able to directly master the new Dawn Killer Move."

"By then, I will have mastered two types of Dawn's killing moves."

Thinking of this, Ryan's eyes lit up.

You know, the combat power between different level 4 Dawn Wizards varies greatly.

The powerful Dawn Killer Move is one of the keys that affects combat effectiveness.

In addition, Ryan has his own special features. He has the core skill of the Dragon Vein Wizard, "Dragon Soul Smash". The greater the power of his witchcraft, the higher the true damage.

"Eight attribute points can handle a big battle, but it's still a little short."

"It's better to change jobs as soon as possible and save more attribute points."

Just when Ryan was about to change his job, suddenly, the alarm sounded on the airship!

"Huh? There is an enemy attack?" Ryan frowned and said.

Because it stands to reason that facing such a large mixed airship formation of the Empire and the Federation, it is unlikely that the enemy would take the initiative to harass.

Ryan walked out of the cabin quickly with doubts.
