The wizard starts by trimming the donkey's hooves

Chapter 334: Dawn and Thunder Bomb (two chapters in one)

But what made Ryan laugh and cry was that perhaps it was because the movable metal dummy's "intelligence" was not high enough, and it seemed that it was at a loss and didn't know what to do.

"Is it really not possible?" Ryan shook his head and sighed.

However, in an instant, a flash of inspiration flashed through Ryan's mind.

"Is it possible that the instructions were too vague and not clear enough?"

"Twist the handle!"

Ryan tried to give a clearer order.

The movable metal dummy seemed to have found its target, walked towards the door, and placed its metal hand on the door.

And with a "click" sound, the handle is selected and the door is opened.

This made Ryan's face light up.

At this moment, Ryan also saw that the person standing outside the door was the beautiful woman Jennifer.

The beautiful woman looked at Ryan who was sitting far away at the desk with her beautiful eyes, and couldn't help feeling a little confused.

Huh?
Who opened the door for me just now?

She looked down and was so frightened that she almost jumped up.

"what!"

Following a scream, the beautiful woman took two steps back, trembling as she pointed at the half-human-height movable metal dummy in front of her and said:

"This is this"

Ryan walked up quickly and said apologetically, "I'm sorry to scare you, Jennifer. This is the new witchcraft I learned."

The beautiful woman patted her towering breasts, rolled her eyes at Ryan, and said, "My dear, it's lucky it's daytime. If it was night, I would probably faint from fear."

Ryan smiled, put away the movable metal dummy, and at the same time, took the beautiful woman into the study.

"Jennifer, what's up?"

"Honey, it's almost lunch time and everyone is waiting for you." The beautiful woman couldn't help but look at the wall clock speechlessly and pursed her cherry lips.

Ryan followed the direction of the beautiful woman's pointed mouth, glanced at the wall clock in the study, and suddenly realized.

For hours on end throughout the morning he was learning new spells.

Before I knew it, time had passed quickly and it was almost half past twelve.

"I guess I've been working so hard that I've forgotten to eat and sleep, right?" Ryan thought to himself.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting. Let's go now."

Not long after lunch.

Ryan and the beautiful woman Jennifer got on the carriage that had been prepared long ago and headed to Münster Cathedral for the banquet.

At the same time, Ryan also brought the blue and white war hammer seized from the ancient powerful 'Mung'.

Originally, Ryan was planning to ask Anna to come along.

But
It seemed that because Anna's body was too sensitive when she was riding the Blood-Feathered Hippogryph that day, Anna was so shy when she saw him that she declined the invitation to go with him.

So, at this moment, there were only him and Jennifer in the carriage.

"By the way, dear, we have already found out the information about the Earth Dragon Knight."

"The other party's name is Hansal, and he is most famous for his earth dragon mount. It is said that he took dragon blood fruit some time ago and is about to evolve. This time he came here to help after being hired by Sam's Group."

"Oh? You found the relevant information so quickly?" Ryan raised his eyebrows, still quite surprised by the efficiency of the beautiful woman.

Olena from the Sword Bearer Branch didn't come to report to him, but she already had the news.

Although the network of relationships at Axon Auction House is extraordinary, Jennifer has only been a shareholder of the Münster branch of Axon Auction House for a short time, so she may not be familiar with many people and things.

"Well, dear, you don't know that ever since the destruction of Sam's group, Fabien and others have become more respectful to me."

"A lot of the intelligence was reported by them on their own initiative, and some of it I haven't even deployed yet." The beautiful woman couldn't help but said with a smile.

She now fully understood what it meant to enjoy the shade under a big tree.

With Ryan as her supporter, she is now almost the 'uncrowned king' at the Munster branch of the Axon Auction House.

Fabien, the branch's apparent operations manager, was trying his best to get closer to her.

She also took this opportunity to signal Fabien to strengthen the business dealings between the auction house and the Hammer and Rose Chamber of Commerce. Within a few days, the Chamber of Commerce benefited greatly.

"Oh, by the way, did you just mention dragon blood fruit?"

"Yes, I heard several masters from the auction house chatting about it. It seems to have a special effect on the growth and evolution of dragon creatures." The beautiful woman nodded and said.

This made Ryan fall into deep thought.

The information just given by the beautiful woman gave him new ideas.

"Since it works on dragon-born creatures, what about me?"

Ryan couldn't help but have this question in his mind.

"Can the system absorb the beneficial ingredients in, for example, dragon blood fruit?"

Of course, dragon blood or a dragon's body, and things that promote the growth of dragonborn are not the same concept.

So, it may not work, but you can try.

"Jennifer, next, help me focus on two types of items in the auction house. One is items related to dragons, such as dragon bones, dragon blood, or the dragon blood fruit you mentioned this time."

"The second thing is to help me keep an eye out for those medicines that can improve mental strength. If the price is right, please help me buy them."

"By the way, please help me purchase the raw materials for this secret potion."

Ryan also thought of the preparation of the secret potion, and immediately took out a list of raw materials from his waist bag and handed it to the beautiful woman.

"OK, dear."

After the beautiful woman took it, she put it away carefully and nodded in agreement. She didn't ask Ryan why he needed these things, nor did she say that these things might be worth a lot of money.

Because Jennifer knew very well that Ryan's powerful strength was the cornerstone of all she had now.

However, at this moment, the beautiful woman's eyes were staring at Ryan with watery eyes, and her plump body was leaning towards Ryan.

Although she has been meeting Ryan frequently recently, Jennifer still adheres to her duties as a housekeeper in the mansion because of Anna.

But now, in the confined space of the carriage, and Ryan and I haven't done that for a long time.

And she is at an age where she needs it.

The beautiful woman blushed slightly, but she lowered her head on her own initiative, and after a few rustling noises, she...
"Jennifer, this is in a carriage," Ryan groaned.

"Honey, haven't you been learning witchcraft recently? You can control metal dummies, so don't you know sound insulation or something?" The beautiful woman said as she glanced at Ryan with her beautiful eyes, as if in a reproachful manner.

Ryan was speechless for a moment.
I wanted to say "Really not", but at this moment, I had no time to think about anything else.

( words omitted here)

After a long time, the beautiful woman wiped her red lips, then slowly stood up and said teasingly: "My dear, I didn't expect that you really don't know how to soundproof."

But suddenly, the beautiful woman's expression froze, because she found that her light blue evening dress was being lifted up by Ryan, her big and snow-white buttocks were vaguely exposed, and her slender waist was also fixed by the big hands.

"My dear, we are in a carriage and you haven't learned any sound insulation skills." The beautiful woman couldn't help but be surprised and happy.

(Ten thousand words are omitted here again)

After a long while, the beautiful woman was able to lean on the seat in the carriage to rest. She tilted her head, lifted the slightly messy hair beside her ear, looked at Ryan tiredly and said:
"My dear, how can I go out to the party now?"

Soon, the carriage arrived in front of the magnificent Münster Cathedral.

At this moment, many noble carriages had gathered in front of the church. Many polite male nobles were holding hands with fashionable and beautiful noble ladies and wives, walking up the stairs and entering the cathedral.

However, as they climbed the stairs, they would occasionally glance at the top of the stairs, where the silver-armored knight stood with his hands hanging down, carrying a double-handed hammer on his back.

"Is there any important person coming today? Why is Lord Brando waiting here in person?" Many nobles whispered.

You should know that the Punishment Knight Brandul has a very high status in the Munster Goddess Church. Even if you look at the upper class of the entire Munster province, his status is second only to the Duke of Munster and several marquises, and even above the earl.

"Hey, who do you think the Punishment Knight Branduer is waiting for?" a noble girl asked curiously.

"I'm not sure. I haven't heard that His Excellency the Duke of Mingster is coming. I guess it should be a certain Marquis, right?" The middle-aged nobleman next to him frowned slightly, showing a thoughtful expression, shook his head and said.

"Well, it should be."

As the carriage with the noble emblem of a crossed sword and hammer on its surface came to a stop, Brando immediately smiled and then quickly walked down the steps.

At the same time, the tall and handsome Ryan walked out of the carriage first, and at the same time, helped Jennifer, a beautiful woman with sore knees but radiant beauty, to get out of the carriage.

When Ryan saw Brando coming to the door to greet him personally, he couldn't help but smile and nod in greeting.

This scene was naturally seen by many nobles.

"So I was waiting for him."

"Who is this young man?" A noble lady couldn't help but look at the handsome Ryan curiously. At the same time, she looked at the beautiful woman Jennifer who was standing next to Ryan with a little jealousy.

"You don't even know him. This is Viscount Ryan, the rising star of the Munster Swordbearers branch. It is said that even the Duke of Munster is full of praise for him!"

A middle-aged nobleman who seemed to know about the previous Munster cult attacks explained.

"so smart?"

The noble ladies and young ladies standing by covered their cherry lips and exclaimed in amazement.

However, the attention of the noble ladies and young ladies soon shifted from how powerful Ryan was to the female companion Ryan brought with him this time - Jennifer.

"Then who do you think is the one next to Viscount Ryan? Judging from her age, she seems to be much older than Viscount Ryan. They don't look like a couple." A noble lady asked doubtfully.

"I think I've met this guy before. He seems to be from a chamber of commerce. Let me think, he seems to be the president of the Hammer and Rose Chamber of Commerce. He should be the white glove of Lord Ryan."

Another noble lady recalled that she had met Jennifer once at a banquet about a month ago.

"I see. It seems we still have a chance to have a deeper exchange with Viscount Ryan." "That's not necessarily true. Maybe Viscount Ryan just likes older beautiful women."

"Tsk, haven't you heard of that saying, men always like eighteen-year-olds?"

After hearing that Jennifer was only wearing white gloves, several noble ladies seemed to be relieved and started to tease each other.

Although Ryan is young, he has already become famous after experiencing several battles in Munster.

Basically, the upper class of Munster knew that a very powerful young man like Ryan had come to the Sword Bearer Branch.

"Sir Ryan, I was supposed to be the one visiting, but I have been busy lately because of my brother's affairs. I am really sorry!" Brando bowed slightly and nodded to Jennifer.

"Mr. Brando, you are welcome."

Ryan knew that these two cult attacks had caused heavy losses to the Munster Goddess Church, and even Brando's brother had died in the battle. Naturally, he would not feel it was rude for Brando not to visit him.

"Mr. Ryan, although I would like to chat with you for a while, your old friend, Bishop Xien, is already waiting for you inside, and he has prepared a surprise for you."

"Look, aren't we?" Brando said with a smile.

"Of course, I haven't seen Bishop Theon for a long time." While motioning Brandol to go with him, Ryan was thinking about the surprise Brandol mentioned. What was it?
So, Ryan and the beautiful woman Jennifer, led by the Punishment Knight Brandul, quickly arrived at the prayer hall.

At this time, there were already quite a few nobles inside the hall.

These people were well-informed and knew what it meant for Bishop Sheen to preside over the work, and many of them took the initiative to ask to come and visit.

After discussion, Bishop Theon and Brando decided that in this case, they might as well expand the scale of the gathering and hold an awarding ceremony.

Just as Ryan was still wondering why so many nobles came to such an informal banquet, an old man wearing a light blue robe inlaid with gold and holding a scepter was walking forward from the back of the hall.

It was Bishop Theon whom he had not seen for a long time.

"Bishop Theon, long time no see." Ryan bowed slightly and said.

"Viscount Ryan, long time no see. Your growth is beyond my imagination!" Bishop Theon immediately returned the greeting and said with a smile.

The current Ryan is no longer the baron in Mayist County. Even Bishop Theon needs to pay attention to etiquette and no longer call Ryan "child".

Half an hour later.

The awarding ceremony reached its climax after several knights were awarded the Gold Conch Medal.

"In the many battles with the Black Flame Cult, Viscount Ryan made outstanding contributions, especially in these two times. He not only repelled the attacks of the evil creatures, but also joined forces with the Duke and others to kill the cult's chief priest!"

"In recognition of Viscount Ryan's outstanding contribution in the fight against the cult, on behalf of the Goddess Church, I would like to award Viscount Ryan the Second Class Goddess Medal!"

As Bishop Theon spoke passionately, he picked up a fist-sized medal that shone with bright silver light from the tray held by his servant.

It was not until this moment when the answer was revealed that Ryan realized that the surprise Brandoir had mentioned was this.

This second-level goddess medal is very powerful. It is the highest level medal that can be awarded by the provincial-level Goddess Church.

It is a level higher than the Gold Conch Medal.

The size of the second-level goddess medal is slightly larger than the previous gold conch medal. It is made of mithril and has a clear and lifelike pattern of a goddess holding a shell.

"Viscount Ryan, may the goddess bless you."

"Thank you, Goddess, and thank you, Bishop Theon!" Ryan bowed in thanks.

Bishop Theon solemnly placed the medal on Ryan's chest.

"Viscount Ryan, please keep this second-level goddess medal safe. You can get help from the Church of the Goddess of Monsoon and Ocean anywhere in the empire as long as there is a temple of the Church of the Goddess of Monsoon and Ocean."

"In addition, in addition to the magic spell 'Detect Evil', this medal also solidifies the magic spell 'Goddess's Protection'. Although it can only be used once, it is extremely powerful."

Bishop Theon looked at Ryan and said with a smile.

After the awarding ceremony.

Bishop Theon, Brando and Ryan chatted alone in a room.

"Bishop Sheen, after you left, what about Meister?" Ryan couldn't help but ask.

"Ryan, you know Rudolf will succeed me as Bishop of Meister," Bishop Sheen said with a smile.

"Hey, did Dean Rudolph get a promotion as well? That's a good thing."

"By the way, Bishop Theon, Lord Brando, I have something this time and I hope you can help me identify it." Ryan said as he opened a wooden box.

"Identification?" Brandoel asked with a puzzled look on his face.

You have to know that both of them are clergymen, not appraisal masters.

In the box that Ryan opened, there was a huge blue and white warhammer, which exuded a strange aura, which immediately attracted the attention and interest of the two.

"I got this from 'Mung', an ancient powerful figure from the Black Flame Cult. From the feeling the warhammer gives me, I don't think it looks like something from a cult." Ryan slowly expressed his guess.

"Indeed, it doesn't seem like the style of the Black Flame Cult."

Branduer, who was also proficient in using a two-handed hammer, could no longer contain his excitement. He was holding the hammer and rubbing it gently with his fingers.

"Ryan, what do you mean?" the protagonist Theon couldn't help but ask.

"I would like to ask you two to check the scriptures of the cult to see if there is any record of this ancient powerful cultist 'Mung', and see if you can find any introduction to the origin of this warhammer."

The one that knows the Black Flame Cult best is naturally the Goddess Church.

Ryan had not considered bringing it to the church before because he was not familiar with the church leaders in Munster at that time.

But it's different now.

Both Bishop Theon and Brandoor had a special relationship with him.

"Of course, Lord Ryan, but it is likely that we will have to contact the Cologne Cathedral in the imperial capital."

"Because the collection of books there is the most comprehensive in the association, but it will take some time." Brando thought for a moment and said.

at the same time.

On the sea about ten kilometers away from the coastline of Meist, dozens of four-masted sailing ships, led by two five-masted sailing ships, were fighting with more than a dozen large sea beasts.

These ships are none other than the First and Third Squadrons of the Dragun Empire's South Sea Fleet.

For a moment, sea beasts roared, waves surged, and cannons roared.

From time to time, various magical lights would rise from each sailing ship and attack the huge sea beasts.

Suddenly, a lookout on a five-masted sailing ship changed color and immediately sent a flag signal to the deck crew below.

Soon, Admiral Campbell, commander of the South China Sea Fleet, received the message. He quickly held a copper monocular telescope and looked up at the sky from the captain's room.

In the sky not far away, they saw a huge ellipsoidal airship as big as a mountain approaching the area where they were fighting with the sea people.

"Admiral, this is..." The staff officer at the side widened his eyes, looking at the giant airship in the distance.

The distance is so far and yet it is so huge, you can imagine how huge the airship is.

As far as he knew, such a huge airship model had never been produced in the empire.

"He should be a special envoy of the Federation." Admiral Campbell put down the monocular and said in a deep voice.

He had received the message before, but he didn't expect that the federal envoy would enter the empire from the waters of Meister.

Because normally, if the other party goes directly to the imperial capital Tamriel, they will not pass through Maest.

"The other party deliberately came here to take a detour."

Admiral Campbell vaguely guessed the other party's intention.

On the bridge of the huge airship in mid-air, more than a dozen officers in federal officer uniforms were surrounding a beautiful middle-aged woman in aristocratic hunting suit, observing the battle below together.

And make comments from time to time.

"Lady Trena, the naval equipment of the Dragun Empire is at least twenty years behind ours."

"They are still relying on pure sailing battleships, while our iron steamships have already begun to be used in actual combat." A colonel shook his head and said.

Although there had been relevant information reported by spies before, seeing it with my own eyes this time was the best proof.

"The ship's artillery is not powerful enough, and most of them are old-fashioned bronze cannons."

"Compared to our steel artillery, its power is far inferior, and its range is one-third shorter." A federal major general put down the telescope in his hand and said with a hint of contempt.

"There are quite a few third-level wizard apprentices on board the ship. Hey, there are also official wizards, which is not bad."

"Well, I'm afraid this is the only bright spot. If the Imperial Navy were to go to war with our Federation, I believe total annihilation would be the only outcome," said another Federation major general.

"Everyone, now that we have encountered them, we naturally have to show some sincerity to the Dragun Empire. What do you think, how can we deal with these sea beasts?" said the beautiful woman named Trena.

"It's simple, just use thunder bombs!" suggested the federal major general.

"Major General Kondra is right. Thunder bombs are powerful enough to deal with these sea beasts. Basically, one bomb can cause serious damage to them."

"Okay, let's do as Lord Kondra says." Trena nodded and said.

"Let the Dawn sail right above the sea monster and prepare to drop the thunder bombs!" The order was quickly passed down layer by layer.

A few minutes later.

Two huge cylindrical bombs half a person's height were quickly dropped from under the giant airship towards the sea monster below.

"boom!"

A dazzling white light flashed, and a thunderous explosion sounded!

A huge crab-like sea beast that was more than 20 meters long was blown into two pieces and died on the spot.

The other one did not hit directly, but exploded near an octopus sea monster that was more than 30 meters long, breaking more than a dozen thick suction tentacles.

At this time, two rows of twelve black spots were rapidly approaching the Federation's giant airship.

From a distance, one could vaguely make out what appeared to be the Empire's Griffin Knights.
