The wizard starts by trimming the donkey's hooves

Chapter 339: New Career Choices (Two chapters in one)

At this moment, Ryan's body suddenly swelled up, squeezing the magic silver plate armor he was wearing, causing it to creak.

Only then did Ryan remember that he was in such a hurry to test it that he hadn't even taken off his plate armor suit.

Just as he was about to take it off quickly, he raised his hand and was stunned.

Because Ryan discovered that at this moment, the skin on his right hand had completely turned dark gray, and pieces of dragon scales the size of fingernails emerged on the surface. At the same time, the originally flat nails had become sharp and slender like those of a beast.

Just this stupid effort.

“Crack! Snap!”

The pieces of demonized thirium plate armor all over Ryan's body began to crack and fall off him, and some fragments were still hanging on Ryan's ever-expanding body.

Suddenly, Ryan felt an itch in his tailbone, as if something had come out, no, to be precise, something had come out.

He turned his head and saw that at the position of the last section of the coccyx, there was a tail more than one meter long and covered with dragon scales.

Surprised, Ryan swung it a few times subconsciously and found that it was actually quite flexible.

But the problem is, he had no tail before, and suddenly he had a tail, so he was a little uncomfortable.

At this moment, Ryan suddenly felt his head hit something. He bent down slightly and looked up, and found that he had hit the stone ceiling of the training room.

"This"

"The ceiling height of this training room is a full four and a half meters!"

Ryan was quite shocked.

But at the same time, he immediately squatted slightly and bent over again to avoid breaking through the first floor directly.

Fortunately, by then Ryan discovered that his transformation had ended, and after a rough estimate, he estimated that his height should be less than five meters, but it was almost close.

Obviously, this degree of change is amazing enough!
A height of nearly five meters, what does that mean?
You have to know that the average ogre is only three meters tall, no more than three and a half meters, but at this moment Ryan's height has reached an astonishing five meters!

"It's quite fierce! This transformation."

This made Ryan focus his attention on the description of the first form:
[Mutated Dragon Man First Form (Dragon Man Warrior Form): After activation, the body size becomes significantly larger, the body surface becomes dragon scales, possesses super strong defense and resistance, is immune to low-level toxins and disease effects, and is immune to witchcraft damage below 20 degrees.]

"Dragon Warrior Form?"

Ryan noticed the content in brackets after the words "first form".

"Because he is a warrior and needs to fight hand-to-hand, is that why his body size changes like this?"

"Ignore this for now, let's test the effect first."

But at this moment Ryan also discovered that he was now bent over, with his head just touching the ceiling, and he couldn't test his movement speed at all.

"With my body shape, it seems that I still need to go outdoors."

However, Ryan picked up the knight's long sword, which looked like a toothpick in comparison, and hit his body surface hard several times.

He planned to first see the defensive power of the dragon scales on his body and see what the difference was between it and his previous steel body.

"Buzz!"

"Bang bang!"

Ryan used three methods, namely stabbing, cutting and chopping, to test the fine dragon scales on the surface of the body.

It's just that the whole test scenario is quite funny.

Watching from the side, it was a sharp claw carefully holding a toothpick-sized sword, and the other thick arm covered with dragon scales was slashing and stabbing in various ways.

"It's really different."

After finishing the test, Ryan's eyes flickered and he immediately discovered the difference.

The previous effect of the steel body was that if a sharp object was used to chop it, sparks would be produced by friction, as if it was chopping on steel.

But this time the scales are very different.

It was more like chopping on thick leather armor, which was equally strong but had a little more toughness, so it made this dull sound.

In addition, dragon scales are very effective in preventing punctures.

Without activating any innate abilities or skills, Ryan bent the knight's sword, but when it poked the dragon scales, there was only a white dot.

"When a great knight of the highest rank stabs him, it's just a white dot?"

"Then even if the opponent uses a high-level secret technique, I guess I will only be slightly injured at most? No wonder it is described as super strong defense."

After a little thought, Ryan couldn't help but feel quite happy.

Just as he was about to put away the knight's longsword, he inserted it into the sword rack a little too violently, and the entire sword rack bent.

"Huh? Your own power?"

Ryan's control over his own strength has already reached a very high level, so it is impossible for him to be so unaware of the importance of the situation.

He immediately realized that as his body grew in size, his strength had increased significantly.

After thinking about it, Ryan picked up a kite-shaped shield placed aside, and then squeezed it with his huge palm.

"Crench!"

In an instant, the steel shield was crushed into a ball.

Just now, Ryan achieved this without feeling anything.

"Hiss~ This level of power!"

After repeated tests, Ryan found that his strength was at least four times greater than before.

Of course, in this case, his talent for great strength can be understood as being covered up and unusable.

Just as Ryan was about to test the last sentence, 'Immune to witchcraft damage below 20 degrees', he suddenly felt a weakness coming from his body.

Then, his entire body shrank rapidly.

At the same time, this feeling of physical weakness became more and more obvious.

Ryan felt it carefully and found that all his muscles and fascia were tired and weak. Obviously, under normal circumstances, he had to recover before he could activate the dragon form again.

“Is this the duration?”

Ryan glanced at the clock on the wall of the training room and saw that exactly two minutes had passed.

"Two minutes, real dragon man?!"

He shook his head slightly, naturally feeling that this time was a bit short.

But after thinking about it, Ryan felt it was okay.

After all, if you still can't resolve the battle quickly after transforming into a dragon man, then running away first seems to be the best option.

This also made Ryan focus on the note - 'Duration is positively correlated with blood concentration and physique'.

"It seems that we need to continue to find ways to increase the blood concentration. In addition, can we give priority to improving physical fitness in the subsequent points addition?"

Immediately, Ryan shook his head slightly and said to himself:
"Not necessarily. Mental attributes are equally important. Mentality affects the power of witchcraft. A dragon vein wizard has the word wizard in its name. It's impossible for him to fight in close combat all the time, right?"

"Oh, by the way, after I add some recovery, can't I activate the dragon form again?"

Ryan's eyes lit up, and he suddenly thought of something.

After thinking about it, Ryan decided to confirm it first. After all, it would be funny if he found out that the added points could not be activated in a real battle.

It just so happened that at the moment, his muscles and fascia all over his body were sore and he felt quite uncomfortable.

As Ryan added a little bit of spiritual energy, a warm current surged through his body, and he instantly returned to his peak state.

At this moment, Ryan could feel that he could activate the dragon form again at any time.

This made him laugh.

"It seems that there is no need to deliberately increase physical fitness."

"Also, other people's back-up plans or special moves can basically only be used once in a battle, but you can use it N times. N is linked to the number of remaining attribute points."

Just when Ryan was testing the effect of the dragon form.

Anna, who happened to be walking in the corridor on the first floor, vaguely felt a fascinating aura coming from the training room.

"Eh, this aura? It's different from Ren's safety?"

As a druid, she is particularly sensitive to the special aura of people or animals, but this kind of aura with strong deterrence is the first time Anna has encountered it.

Curious, Anna knocked on the door and called out, "Ryan?"

When Ryan heard it was Anna, he quickly stepped forward and opened the door.

But when Anna saw Ryan, her beautiful eyes blinked and then widened, and then her whole face turned red.

"Lei Ryan, you are so bad!"

After saying that, Anna covered her face and ran away.

"Huh? I'm back in human form now, what's going on?"

Ryan was a little confused, he looked down, and the next second, he couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

"What the hell, she's gone?!"

It turned out that the tearing of the enchanted thirium plate armor was not a big deal, after all, there was a linen underwear inside. But as the body expanded and shrank, the linen underwear was also violently torn.

Although there are still a lot of cloth strips hanging, something can be clearly seen through the wide gaps.

No wonder Anna ran away so quickly!

This made Ryan feel uncomfortable and he was too embarrassed to chase after Anna.

"It seems that I still need to solve the problem of elastic underwear. At least I need a pair of elastic underwear."

"Otherwise, it would be embarrassing to be exposed every time after transformation."

"Unfortunately, there is no material like acrylic."

"As for the waistband, you can use elastic materials like tendons."

"But how do we deal with the elastic fabric?" Ryan frowned slightly.

Originally, Ryan was planning to take a rest, but after thinking about it, he had already ruined a set of underwear, so he might as well take this opportunity to go outside the city and test the dragon form again.

The test just now is not complete.

After a while, a huge bird of prey soared into the sky from Ryan's mansion. It was Blood Feather that was carrying Ryan, flying out of the city.

Soon, he arrived at the wasteland where he had fought with Asimov before.

At this moment, there are still traces of lava from the battle on the wasteland.

However, Ryan's focus at the moment was naturally not this. After finding a slightly hidden place, he transformed into a dragon man again.

With the experience from last time, Ryan quickly adapted to the sudden extra tail this time, and then began to test the speed and flexibility of the dragon warrior form.

A few minutes later
Ryan, who had regained his human form, had a calm expression, showing no emotion. Just now, he discovered a small problem with his dragon warrior form, which was that his speed and agility had not improved much, only about 30% compared to his human form.

In other words, the dragon warrior form greatly improves defense and strength, but the improvement in flexibility is not that significant.

However, overall, the improvement in combat power is already very obvious, about twice that of the human form.

Early the next morning, Neoro, Angus and others arrived at the Ryan residence.

"Captain, you actually went on a mission secretly yesterday. That's not very fair." Neoro said half-jokingly.

"Yes, we've all heard about it. This is about slaying a dragon! Such a glorious event, why don't they invite us to join? Are they afraid that we will fall behind?" The red-haired beauty Evelyn also chimed in with a smile.

"So that's what it is." Ryan couldn't help but laugh.

He immediately gave a brief introduction to the whole situation.

"The situation was urgent at the time, and I set out immediately after receiving the order. In addition, the 'Black Sword' team had already been trapped, so I thought it would be better not to notify you."

"Black Sword Team? Is it the Diamond-level sword-wielding team 'Black Sword'?" Neoro said in shock.

Because Neolo knew the deputy captain of the Black Sword Team, the wizard Ante, and they had exchanged experiences in witchcraft several times.

The opponent's strength was even stronger than his, but he didn't expect that such a powerful team would be wiped out by the Corrupted Dragon Agnes.

"That's right." Ryan nodded and said.

"Besides, it's a good thing you didn't go. The corrupt force field of the Corrupted Dragon Agnes will quickly infect everyone who gets close to it. If you're not strong enough, it's almost impossible to solve it." Ryan thought of the situation at the time, his face solemn, and explained.

All the team members were stunned when they heard this, and their faces became serious.

It’s a good thing that the captain didn’t take them with him!

At this time, a servant knocked on the door and said, "Lord Ryan, there are two sword-bearing masters outside who want to see you."

"They said they were the surviving members of the Black Sword Squad."

"Oh? Please let them in." Ryan raised his eyebrows and said.

I just mentioned the Black Sword Team, but I didn’t expect that there are still surviving members on the other side.

Soon, a man in a gray robe and another in knight's plate armor walked in.

"Dear Captain Ryan, I'm Medeiros, and this is Luka. We're both members of the Black Sword Squad. We both want to express our heartfelt gratitude for killing the Corrupted Dragon Agnes and avenging the Black Sword Squad."

After saying that, Medeiros and Luka bowed deeply to Ryan.

"You're welcome. I'm also a sword bearer, and this is what I should do."

The two of them immediately recounted the situation at that time, and everyone, including Neoro, felt their emotions fluctuate after hearing it.

After a lively chat
Medeiros said:

"Captain Ryan, we are here for another reason. With our strength alone, we cannot re-form the Black Sword Squad. At the same time, we admire your strength very much. Therefore, we two want to join your team."

"Of course, I can serve as a reserve member in the early stage, and then become a regular member after passing the assessment requirements of your team. I wonder if there is such an opportunity?"

"This." Ryan couldn't help but hesitate.

However, Neoro was behind the two of them and gave Ryan a secret signal, as if he wanted to keep the two of them.

"Okay, then the two of you can join in as reserve players first." Ryan thought about it and nodded.

"Thank you very much! Captain Ryan." The two men bowed to Ryan again and said.

After the two of them left.

Ryan couldn't help but ask: "Neoro, do you know these two people?"

“I’ve heard of these two people, but I’m not familiar with them.”

"Oh, then why did you let me keep these two?"

"Captain, how long do you think you will stay in the Munster branch?"

"I understand what you mean. Okay, I'll leave this matter to you." Ryan nodded.

Indeed, neither he nor Admiral Edward could directly refuse the headquarters' dispatch.

In other words, sooner or later, he would leave Munster and go to the imperial capital.

What Neoro meant was that once he left, the strength of the entire team would drop drastically.

It is highly likely that the title of diamond-level team will be lost, but it should not be a problem to recruit some new members with good strength and character to maintain the title of gold-level team.

After Neoro and his companions stayed in Ryan's study on the second floor for a while, they went to the training room downstairs to practice on their own.

And Ryan began to think about something quietly by himself.

One thing I have been thinking about for a long time is the choice of a new career.

Ever since he successfully switched to the epic class 'King of Thousand Blades', he had an additional class panel, which was upgraded from the original (5/5) to (5/6).

He decided to choose tailoring.

The reason is that referring to the promotion path of a blacksmith, first he is an apprentice blacksmith, then a blacksmith, then an armorer, and then a master armorer.

In other words, although the initial career of "Blacksmith Apprentice" is not very impressive, it has great potential for subsequent growth.

After four job changes, not to mention other things, the skill points and attribute points alone brought great benefits to Ryan.

On the other hand, those who were extraordinary professions at the beginning, such as the Beast Tamer (Extraordinary) and the subsequent Beast Priest (Legendary), although their core skills were good, from the perspective of skill points and attribute points, the benefits they brought to Ryan were actually not high.

For him at the moment, he has quite a few core skills or killer weapons at hand.

On the contrary, I don’t know many witchcrafts, and if I want to master a witchcraft to a level close to instantaneous, skill points are essential.

After considering all the above, Ryan decided to learn tailoring.

After a while, Ryan asked the servant to call the beautiful woman Jennifer.

"Jennifer, is there a tailor shop underneath the Chamber of Commerce?"

"Hmm?" The beautiful woman looked at Ryan in confusion. She couldn't understand why Ryan asked this.

But for her, although she didn't understand, it didn't stop her from answering quickly:
"Of course, dear! The Hammer and Rose Guild now owns three tailor shops."

“Which tailor has the best skills?”

"Well, in terms of tailoring skills, the highest level should be in Yulis Tailor Shop. The tailoring skills of the chief tailor Yulis have reached the master level."

"Master tailor? Great, Jennifer, take me there." Ryan was still very happy.

He didn't expect that Jennifer Chamber of Commerce had a master tailor under its command. This was more smooth than he expected.

"Ah? Honey, are you going to make some clothes?"

"But the three tailor shops I have mainly sell women's clothing, with very few men's clothing. You know, women all love beauty, and it's easier to make money from them." The beautiful woman was stunned for a moment, and then she immediately reacted.

In her heart, she naturally assumed that Ryan was planning to order custom clothes.

But in the beautiful woman's mind, as a viscount, Ryan's clothes should naturally be made by outstanding men's tailor masters to suit his status.

"It's okay. As long as you know how to make men's clothing, I'm going to learn tailoring." Ryan was also stunned when he heard this, and immediately realized that Jennifer had misunderstood, so he explained.

"Huh?!" Jennifer's beautiful eyes widened, her cherry lips slightly opened, and she looked dumbfounded.

OMG!

Is there anything more outrageous than this?
A viscount actually wants to learn tailoring?

"My dear, you are a viscount! Isn't it inappropriate for you to learn tailoring?" Jennifer thought for a moment and advised tactfully.

"Well, it's not a good idea. Please ask this tailor master Yulis to come directly to the mansion. Oh, by the way, ask her to bring a full set of tools and fabrics for a novice tailor."

"Just learn it in the study."

"Okay, dear." Jennifer retreated. She could see that Ryan was determined to learn.

Although she couldn't figure out why Ryan wanted to learn tailoring, she kept one thing in mind: it didn't matter if she didn't understand, she just had to do it first.

After a while, Jennifer came in with the master tailor, Julis, a gentle-looking woman in her early forties. She had a lot of things in her hands, such as balls of thread and rolls of linen cloth and other materials.

"Good day, Lord Viscount Ryan." Julis said respectfully with a lady's salute.

At first, when she heard Jennifer, the president of the main chamber of commerce, ask her to teach the Viscount how to sew, she almost wondered if she was hallucinating.

After repeating it twice, she still didn't recover and was in a daze!
But since this was the master's request, she did not have much right to refuse. In addition, she had also heard of Viscount Ryan behind the master's family. He had recently become very famous in Munster, and she also wanted to see him.

"Good day, Julis."

"I need to master the basic skills of tailoring as soon as possible. Julis, which part should I start with?" Ryan said straight to the point.

"Well, Lord Viscount, my suggestion is to start with clothes with simple lines. For example, cloaks, gloves, socks or underwear are more suitable. Shirts with collars and buttons are more troublesome to install."

Julis considered her words and spoke respectfully.

"Underwear? How about underwear?" Ryan asked with his eyes lighting up.

Although it seemed inappropriate to say this in front of the two ladies, Ryan thought that if there was a battle later and he had to transform into a dragon man,
Torn underwear, a crowd of people watching
The scene is so beautiful that I can’t even imagine it.

Rather than embarrassing yourself in front of two specific people, it is better to embarrass yourself in front of a group of people.

"Huh?" Julis' eyes widened.

She just quickly glanced at Jennifer, who was much more beautiful than her, and thought that this handsome and tall viscount in front of her had all kinds of women in his heart and should not be teasing her.

However, it was the first time for Julis to discuss how to make underwear in front of a young, handsome and powerful man, so she couldn't help blushing.

"Of course you can. Underpants are more appropriate."

"Then let's get started."

The beautiful woman Jennifer was standing aside, looking at Ryan and then at Julis with her beautiful eyes, not knowing what she was thinking.

With Julis's guidance and Ryan's strong learning ability, the system prompt soon sounded:
[You have made linen shorts, and your understanding of the relevant items has improved! ]

[You have learned a new skill - making linen shorts]

[Your skill in making linen shorts is improved, experience value +1]

[Congratulations! You have triggered the career panel - Tailor Apprentice]

"It was triggered, and just as expected, it was the tailor's apprentice." Ryan thought to himself.

Ryan glanced at the new career panel. Although the "Tailor Apprentice" was a blank slate without any light, he was quite pleased.

Because this means that in the follow-up of the tailoring path, there is a high probability that you can change jobs multiple times, similar to the blacksmith path.

In other words, he will gain a large number of skill points and attribute points later.

Ryan was naturally happy about this.

The two women, the beautiful woman Jennifer and Julis, looked at each other in surprise.

The two of them couldn't understand why Viscount Ryan, who had just successfully made a pair of underwear, had such a happy expression.
