The wizard starts by trimming the donkey's hooves

Chapter 395 Potion Master
In the next few days, Ryan basically immersed himself in Wuwen Tailoring.

Audrey and Alicia were curious about why Ryan suddenly became obsessed with witchcraft tailoring, but they did not dare to disturb him and could only bury their doubts in their hearts.

As the experience points for making the 'Apprentice Robe' began to decrease, Ryan wanted to go to Jacqueline again to ask if there were any more advanced witch pattern tailoring drawings, but then he thought about it and felt that it was not a good idea.

After all, his improvement speed was too terrifying.

And it won’t be long before he will ask the other party for the drawings.

Instead of doing this, he might as well go directly to the material exchange office.

Sure enough, Ryan spent 100 contribution points at the material exchange office and exchanged for a new witch pattern tailoring blueprint - "Clean Robe".

Compared to the former 'Apprentice Robe', this 'Clean Robe' is more difficult to make, but the quality is also higher, and it can be said to have barely entered the level of intermediate witchcraft props.

The classification of witchcraft props is related to the number, practicality and power of zero-level witchcraft, as well as the difficulty of production, rarity of materials and other considerations, 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 acquiring the new core skill "Focus", he found that it was particularly effective when used to learn new witch pattern tailoring drawings.

After turning on 'focus', he felt his thoughts were particularly clear, and when he started sewing, he felt as if he was assisted by God.

There were some things that originally required guidance from others, but Ryan was able to figure them out on his own after a little thought.

After several attempts, the system prompt sounded:

[You have made the intermediate witchcraft item 'Clean Robe', and your understanding of it has improved! ]

[You have learned a new skill - Clean Robe]

[Your skill in making clean robes is improved, experience value +10]

[You successfully made an intermediate witchcraft item 'Clean Robe', Witchcraft Tailor professional experience value +103]

Inside Ren's new mansion.

"Anna, try it." Ryan handed a white wizard robe to Anna.

Anna's pretty face was obviously filled with joy. She looked at Ryan with her big beautiful eyes and said, "Ryan, is this for me?"

"Well, this is the first intermediate witchcraft item I completed, the 'Clean Robe'." 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 all times."

When Anna put it on, she found that not only the two level-0 spells solidified on the robe were very useful, but also the entire robe of cleanliness fit her very well.

"Hey, Ryan, how did you know my size?"

"This... has been measured after all." Ryan spread out his palm and said.

Ryan's words immediately made Anna blush. She punched Ryan's chest lightly, and then the two of them played and joked intimately for a while.

"Boom boom boom!"

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the study.

Ryan knew who the person outside the door was as soon as he sensed it.

"Please come in!"

This time, Olena came with Tatia, who was dressed in a tall major general's uniform.

The two first looked at Anna with a rosy face, then looked at each other's white robes which were still wrinkled, and couldn't help but blushing.

This Lord Ryan is too much.

In broad daylight.

In the study.
"Ryan, you go ahead and do your work."

The experienced looks of the two young women immediately made Anna even more shy. After nodding quickly at them, she left the study room quickly after saying a few words.

"Hey, both of you, please take a seat." Ryan coughed to cover up his embarrassment.

"Mr. Ryan, I came here to tell you something."

"The Durham family said that the last adverse action against you was entirely Greenwood's personal behavior. Now, including the butler Owen, he has been fired."

"They offered to compensate you for your loss last time. Headquarters wanted me to ask for your opinion on this matter."

"The headquarters' opinion is my opinion." Ryan thought for a moment and said something politically correct.

Through his understanding during this period, he naturally knew that the relationships involved were intricate and complicated. There were conservatives and reformists, the demands of various imperial families, and there were also some other deep-seated reasons.

Even the Durham family has an imperial guardian behind them.

Of course, this doesn’t mean that the matter has been let go, it’s just that the time has not come yet.

From another perspective, even if Ryan wanted to fight head-on at this time, he had to have the strength to overpower the guardian named "Baoyun", otherwise he would be laughing at himself.

As for the fact that the Imperial Guardian cannot take action, there are prerequisites for that.

Since you have attacked someone else's family, it will naturally be considered a provocation to the Guardian of the Empire. It is reasonable for the other party to take action against you.

In addition, in Ryan's opinion, he may not just have to face the Durham family.

The other party has a complicated network of relationships as an imperial family with hundreds of years of history, so Ryan has to take into account the friendly forces behind and horizontally.

Now, he is considered a member of the Imperial Reformists and the Sword Bearer Headquarters, which means that his decisions will be expanded and he will naturally need 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 to gain as much benefit for you as possible." Tatia said with a smile.

She naturally understood what Ryan meant.

Obviously, the powerful Lord Ryan in front of him has a clear understanding of the situation.

Although this time the conservatives were forced to make concessions in many areas, it did not cause them any serious damage.

"By the way, Master Tatia, I want to ask, how did the Durham family explain why they attacked me?"

"And the butler Owen, since he was fired by the Durham family, can we find him?"

At this time, the female major general Tatia looked at Ryan with a somewhat special look and said:
"Well, according to what they said, 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 silently.

Sure enough, the Durham family would not tell the truth. They concealed the fact that Anna was an elf.

So, could it be that they haven't given up yet? Or is there another reason, such as not wanting to involve the people behind them?
"As for the butler Owen, we investigated 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."

Ren 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 Isodol School where Harold is?" Ryan thought for a moment and asked.

"The Noble Court has already dealt with it. The young judge on that day was deceived by some people and has been demoted. As for the Isolde School."

"The headquarters has sent a letter to inquire about the matter. The other party said that Harold was also deceived and was a victim."

"He is also a victim?" Ryan raised his eyebrows and said.

"Well, as the Isolde School is a large school, the influence that the headquarters can exert on it 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, if you do this, the other party may become more resentful towards Lord Ryan, causing him to use some covert means to deal with you."

"Of course, our current approach cannot guarantee that the other party will not use covert means, but the possibility is lower."

"For you, if you go out recently, you still need to be more vigilant. If you are in the imperial capital, basically you don't have to worry."

Ryan nodded in understanding.

Large schools have a relatively complete wizard heritage, strong overall strength, and there are epic-level powerhouses at the level of Imperial Guardians within the school.

As long as the other party is still serving the empire, if he were the emperor, he would never deal with them just because of some trivial matters.

But from another perspective, this is not a bad thing. When he is strong enough one day, he can also act on his own and go to the other party's school to exchange ideas.

"Then Lord Ryan, if there is nothing else, I will go back and negotiate the compensation with the Durham family."

"Okay, Lord Tatia." Ryan nodded and smiled.

"You're welcome, Lord Ryan." After saying that, Major General Tatia nodded to Olena and left first.
-
at the same time.

Cyrodiil Plateau.

The seat of the Isolder School, Nilheim.

As a large wizarding school, the influence of the Isolder School in Nilheim permeates all aspects. It can be said that the establishment of the city of Nilheim is basically to serve the Isolder School.

In the center of Nilheim, inside a magnificent hall.

Several wizards in khaki wizard robes were reporting something solemnly to an old man who was surrounded by several earth elemental shields.

Next to them, on the ground, was a corpse. If Ryan was there, he would recognize at first glance that this was the "sculptor" Harold who was killed by him.

"Master, Lord Harold died tragically. As the strongest person in our Isoldere School who is most likely to reach the epic level, are we just going to pretend that this incident never happened?" One of the wizards, who seemed to have a very good relationship with Harold, was making a generous statement.

"Yes, Master, this is also a serious blow to the reputation of our school. We can't just let this matter go!" another wizard echoed.

"That's enough! Harold brought this upon himself. As the guardian of the Empire, I cannot possibly attack an Imperial sword bearer."

"Also, who in your opinion in the school has an absolute chance of winning?"

"If so, I can agree to your request and send someone to duel with this young man named Ryan in the name of the Isolde School." The old man said in a deep voice.

"This"

Several 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 the other party, not only would they lose, but the reputation of the Isolde School would also be undermined once again.

"Master, can we just let this matter go?" a wizard asked unwillingly.

"I'll take care of this matter." The old man waved his hand, indicating that they could leave.

After the few people left, the old man thought for a long time, sighed heavily, and said to a male wizard beside him:
"Malcolm, please contact the Tutkarst School for me. I may need their help this time."

Hearing the name Tutkash, Malcolm's heart trembled, and he quickly said, "Okay, Master of the Sect."

You must know that not all wizarding schools within the empire obey the empire's orders. Some secret wizarding schools, groups and organizations have always existed.

The Tutkash school, which mainly focuses on necromancy, is one of them.

The other side is also on the Cyrodiil Plateau, but its main activity area is located on the west side of the plateau, that is, near the westernmost territory of the empire.

However, in the past thousand years, they seemed to have been led by the evil gods. Apart from the normal research on necromancy, wizards from many schools were said to have turned to the worship of evil gods.
-
Imperial capital of Tamriel.

In the next few days, the Duke's or Marquis's families would send people to deliver invitations to banquets or dances to the Rennes Mansion from time to time.

Many of them were conservative aristocrats, and of course, more were reformist aristocratic families.

The purpose is obvious: to make friends with this upstart who has gained fame.

However, Ryan thought about it and declined.

If the beautiful lady Jennifer was here, she could attend as a representative, but for Ryan himself, participating in these banquets would take up a lot of time and energy, which would not be worth it at this critical moment.

Because his current status comes from his own strength.

This is his foundation, not anything else.

Perhaps, only after he reaches the third-level crystallized wizard level and changes his job to "Dragon Vein Wizard", Ryan will consider attending some banquets to socialize appropriately.

At this time, Ryan had already upgraded the Witch Pattern Tailor (Extraordinary) from lv1 to lv7, gaining 6 attribute points and 6 skill points.

This means that Ryan now has 20 remaining attribute points and 7 remaining skill points. As for the gold skill points, it remains unchanged at 95 points.

"7 skill points, 12 points left to 5."

"If you consider learning two third-level sorcery techniques at the same time and quickly transforming them into combat effectiveness, then you will need 24 skill points."

"At present, even if I can make a new high-level witchcraft item, 'Breeze Robe', it is still difficult to upgrade the witchcraft tailoring to level 10 or above. The gap from 24 skill points is too big."

"It seems that I have to let Olena arrange it through official channels and find time to go to the Royal Pharmacists Association." Ryan thought.

In the evening, when Ryan returned to the mansion, he found Anna chatting with a familiar figure who had not been seen for a long time.

"Miss Alyosha?"

"Mr. Ryan, I am finally seeing you again."

"Sir Ryan, if I hadn't heard that a genius had 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 Ryan appear, Alyosha's beautiful eyes lit up, and she asked three times with a hint of anger.

"By the way, Lord Ryan, where did you find this lovely girl? Miss Anna is so lovely." Alyosha held Anna's hand and said.

Anna didn't seem embarrassed at all, and the two seemed to be getting along well.

"I'm sorry, Miss Alyosha. I've been very busy recently. It's my oversight." Ryan said with a smile.

After meeting Alyosha, Ryan suddenly realized that there seemed to be no need for Olena to contact anything through official channels, because Alyosha himself was an official researcher of the Royal College of Pharmacists.

After some greetings, Ryan learned that the Stewart family, to which Alyosha belonged, was also a duke family in the imperial capital.

"Hey, is Lord Ryan also so interested in potion making?"

"With your status as a fine gold sword bearer, I can take you directly to the headquarters of the Royal Pharmacists Association to take a look." Alyosha agreed to Ryan's request.

"How about tomorrow? I'll take you to the association headquarters in the afternoon, and in the evening, you can bring Miss Anna to my place for dinner together, how about that?"

"I think my father would be very happy to see you," Alyosha invited.

"Thank you, Miss Alyosha."

"Okay, that's troublesome. I haven't seen Special Envoy Javier for a long time, so I should pay him a visit." Ryan thought for a moment, then smiled and nodded in agreement.

The next afternoon.

Ryan followed Alyosha to the headquarters of the Royal Pharmacists Association, located on the second ring road of the imperial capital.

After checking the sword bearer's credentials, Ryan passed through the heavy oak door and saw more than a dozen three-meter-tall stone sculptures of human figures.

"Sir Ryan, these are all famous pharmacists in the history of the association."

"That's the herb cultivation room, and that's the laboratory." Alyosha pointed to the two most eye-catching quaint multi-story buildings on the left and right and said.

"Mr. Ryan, where would you like to go first?"

"Why don't we go to the laboratory first?" Ryan said after a moment of thought.

Compared with herb cultivation, potion making, in Ryan's opinion, may be more relevant to his subsequent job change clues.

"Okay, Master Ryan, let's go check on my mentor, Master Cabrera."

"it is good."

Soon, the two arrived at the door of a laboratory on the second floor. The door of the laboratory was ajar. Through the crack in the door, Ryan could clearly see that there was a huge laboratory inside, similar to the classroom in his previous life.

Seven or eight pharmacists in long robes were working on several long tables, making something.

At the innermost part of the laboratory, in a single room separated by transparent glass, an old man with a white goatee was holding a dropper and a beaker, concentrating on making some kind of medicine.

"Sir Ryan, the instructor seems to be making an advanced potion. Let's go and take a look." Alyosha said with a little excitement.

Advanced potion?

This immediately reminded Ryan of something.

When he entered the extraordinary realm, he took the advanced potion.

Could it be that the Master Cabrera in front of us is making that?
Ryan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, quite interested, and quickly followed Alyosha to a few meters outside the glass wall, standing still and observing carefully.

"Sir Ryan, this is the Shadow Leopard Potion, mentor." Alyosha introduced in a low voice.

A few minutes later, the system prompt suddenly appeared:
[Ding! The host is detected to be in contact with potion making, triggering the subsequent job transfer of Breaking Bad Master (Extraordinary) - Potion Master (Legendary)! ]

[The prerequisites for changing to Potion Master (Legendary) are: 5. Level 30 or above in a supernatural potion-related profession; . Spirit points or above; . Mastering the production of three or more advanced potions. The current conditions are not met! Failed to change to Potion Master (Legendary)! ]

Seeing the system prompt in front of him, Ryan couldn't help but laugh.

"I finally got the follow-up job transfer prompt information. It wasn't easy." Ryan sighed in his heart.

Back then, when he was in Mayest County, he changed his job to Breaking Bad Master (Extraordinary), but it was not until now, after he came to the imperial capital of Tamriel, that he received the subsequent job change information.

"However, the formulas for more than three advanced potions may be difficult to come up with."

"But as long as I have the job change notification, it's fine. There's no rush in the next one or two days."

That night, Ryan brought Anna to the Stewart family residence and had dinner with Javier and Alyosha. Both the host and the guests had a great time.

The next morning.

"Lord Ryan, these are the major events that have occurred in various territories of the empire this week." Olena handed a piece of intelligence to Ryan.

After Ryan took it, he quickly read it.

"In Westminster Province, the limb-grafting cult committed a tragedy in Wallis County, killing and injuring nearly a thousand people. Currently, the Westminster Swordbearers branch is still handling the case."

"In the Savoy Province, the Steel Bristle Wild Boar Tribe was bewitched and launched attacks on several surrounding towns."

"In the Mosel Province, the Ancient Mother Tree Cult has revived and attacked the Dark Cave in the Empire's Secret Realm, triggering a large number of ancient violent species in the Dark Cave to attack the surrounding towns. Currently..."

"."

Not sure if it was instructions from the gods behind the scenes, but Ryan discovered that the cult's activities were becoming more frequent.

At a cursory glance, except for a few involving alien races, most of them are related to cults. In a short period of time, the major cults have caused many tragedies in various provinces of the empire!

"Don't we have any accomplices 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, there is, but it is very difficult to do so." Olena thought for a moment and said.

"Because the initiation ceremony of the cult is very meticulous, there are almost no loopholes to be exploited. Apart from other things, there are more than one level of sorcery to confuse the mind, which is similar to the effect of truth serum."

"In addition, there are other constraints. After a spy has participated in prayer ceremonies many times, even the most determined person will gradually lose himself in it."

"If a projection of a god descends during a large-scale ceremony, it will be even more unsolvable."

"That's it." Renn nodded.

No wonder the Empire was slow to realize most of the cult's activities, or was a bit passive. This was where the problem lay.

The 'Infernal Affairs' method, at least in the cult, will not work.

"By the way, Lord Ryan, this is what you mentioned to me last time. You wanted to take on some specific missions related to dragons or dragonborn."

"I have also collected and sorted these past few days. These are some dragon creatures that appeared in various provinces of the empire and that the local branches were unable to deal with. You can take a look at them."

Olena handed 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.
