The wizard starts by trimming the donkey's hooves

Chapter 376: Increased Witchcraft Power
"This is your junior fellow student, Ryan." Mogaro introduced concisely.

In his previous conversation with Ryan, the two had already agreed to keep Ryan's identity as the sword bearer secret for the time being.

Therefore, Mogaro did not reveal Ryan's identity as a sword bearer. After all, the identity of a fine gold-level sword bearer was too rare and sensitive.

"Ah, you are Ryan?" The girl exclaimed, covering her mouth.

Her beautiful eyes, which were already very big, were now almost wide open.

"Audrey, stop yelling. Take Ryan to familiarize yourself with the production process of the Wrath Hammer Battle Puppet. If Ryan has any questions, please help answer them."

"By the way, Audrey, please help Ryan share some of the trivial matters in the school. I will increase your contribution points in a few days." Mogaro instructed.

"Ah? Oh! Okay." Audrey nodded quickly.

But she muttered in her heart, "Isn't he my junior? Why do I feel like a babysitter?"

At the same time, her bright eyes glanced at Ryan from time to time, full of curiosity.

Is this the genius wizard Ryan in the province of Munster that the mentor has talked about countless times?

Apart from being a little taller and stronger, there seems to be nothing special about him.
Huh? wrong!

"You your strength..." After Audrey sensed Ryan's breath, she suddenly couldn't speak clearly.

"That's right, Ryan's strength has reached the level of a second-level liquefied wizard." Mogaro nodded, confirming Audrey's guess.

"Teacher. He. My junior?" Audrey turned to look at her mentor in shock, and pointed at Ryan and her with her slender white fingers.

Now she has a new junior fellow student who is at the level of a second-level liquefied wizard?

No, isn’t this higher than the teacher’s level?

OMG!

Audrey found her head buzzing.

Seeing Audrey's shocked expression, Mogaro patted his forehead and frowned. He turned to Ryan and said, "Ryan, if your strength as a second-level liquefied wizard gets out, it will have a huge impact on the school."

"It still needs to be covered up. Witchcraft? Or witchcraft props?" Mogaro turned around and looked around, muttering in a low voice.

Soon, Mogaro's face lit up with joy. He took out a gray-white wizard robe from the closet beside him, handed it to Ryan, and said:

"This is a high-level witchcraft item, the 'Robe of Concealment'. When you put it on, your strength will be significantly reduced, to that of an early first-level wizard. This will make you less noticeable."

"Okay, thank you, mentor." Ryan gladly took it and bowed slightly to express his gratitude.

"By the way, Audrey, remember to keep this a secret. If it gets out, I'll be the first one to find you." Mogaro said to Audrey, a student he valued.

"Don't worry, mentor." Audrey nodded quickly and said.

"Well, Ryan, after you put on the robe of concealment, follow Audrey to familiarize yourself with the environment."

"Okay, Teacher Mogaro." Ryan bowed slightly and said.

Soon, after Ryan put on the robe of concealment, he discovered that the advanced witchcraft prop also had a simple stretch function. After he put it on, he did not feel cramped at all.

This made him quite happy.

Ryan carefully looked at the intricate inscriptions on the inside of the robe and knew that the secret must be there. However, with his elementary knowledge of inscriptions, he still couldn't understand what was on them.

"It seems that I have to find an opportunity to learn inscriptions properly in the future." Ryan thought to himself.

As he thought about this, Ryan followed Audrey, the lively girl, out of Mogaro's room and into the corridor.

"Here are everyone's offices. All formal wizards have independent offices and laboratories. Apprentices use shared offices." Audrey pointed to the offices in the corridor and introduced them meticulously.

His attitude was as if he was treating a big shot, not his own junior.

There was no way out. Ryan's strength as a second-level liquefied wizard shocked her to the point of being unable to move.

What Paul Nickerson!

What a late-stage first-level wizard!
In front of my Lord Ryan, no, my junior, you are all trash!
Audrey finally understood why her mentor kept talking about Ryan.
If she had a student like this, how could she stop nagging?
I have to watch over it every day!

"Well, Audrey, besides studying puppet making, what else do you usually do in the school?" Ryan asked with a little curiosity.

"In addition to the assigned work and tasks, we also have to study and practice witchcraft, and teach some newcomers in the metal department, etc. Of course, Instructor Mogaro has just explained these chores. Sir Ryan, leave them to me."

Audrey looked at Ryan carefully with her smart eyes and said.

Just now, she still didn't dare to call Ryan "junior", and she used the versatile word "Sir" very cautiously, and also deliberately observed Ryan's expression.

I was relieved to see that there was no displeasure on Ryan's face.

"By the way, although we are a more research-oriented wizard school than the Construction School, fighting is inevitable after all. Especially in the past year, there have been many more combat missions than usual, and the casualties are even greater than the previous ten years combined."

Audrey seemed to have thought of something, her face became serious, and she added.

Ryan nodded and continued to ask, "What about promotion within the school?"

"Well, the first step is to be promoted to a formal wizard. At this time, the students can choose to continue to stay." Audrey naturally knew everything about Ryan's questions.

After listening to Audrey's enthusiastic introduction, Ryan soon had a general impression of promotion within the school.

If the Bishu Construction School is compared to a university, Audrey is roughly a lecturer, and wizards in the late first level are basically associate professors. As for people like her mentor Mogaro, they are senior professors.

As for his level 2 liquefaction wizard status, he could be considered one of the 'Four Young Talents', i.e. young Changjiang people, and was more than qualified to be a leader in the discipline.

In addition, Audrey told Ryan a 'little secret'.

If a second-level liquefied wizard like him emerges under the mentor's tutelage, the subsequent allocation of school resources will be much more tilted, which can be regarded as an encouragement for discovering and cultivating outstanding talents.

No wonder Teacher Mogaro smiled happily when he saw him coming to the school.

“This is our metal production hall.”

At this time, the two walked along the corridor and came to the front of a hall.

"Since puppets are generally larger in size as they become stronger in combat, we will produce medium-sized and larger combat puppets in this production hall."

Audrey pointed to a hall not far ahead that was at least several thousand square meters and supported by many circular pillars.

With Ryan's eyesight, he could naturally see clearly inside.

In the spacious production room, a large number of iron blocks and finished and semi-finished products of various puppet parts were placed, and many people in wizard robes were busy working.

"Why does our own metal puppet system look like the large assembly factory in our previous life?" Ryan couldn't help but think to himself.

This is quite different from the impression he had of the wizarding school.

At this time, a female voice came from the metal production hall.

"Hey, if anyone can do this job for me, I will marry him!" After Alicia finished engraving the inscription on a puppet component, she stretched her plump body and said angrily.

"Uh" Joseph looked at Alicia's beautiful and exquisite curves, and couldn't help swallowing his saliva. He stammered twice and was about to say something.

Many male third-level wizard apprentices who knew inscriptions were also looking at their own metal-type "roses" with shining eyes and swallowed their saliva.

"Joseph, you can't do it, bean sprout." Alicia seemed to notice that Joseph on the side seemed to want to say something, and immediately rolled her eyes at him and said.

"Ahem" Alicia's words immediately made Joseph's face turn red and he almost choked on his saliva.

At this time, Audrey brought Ryan to the entrance of the production hall, immediately attracting the attention of everyone inside.

"This is the newcomer, Mr. Ryan. Welcome everyone!"

"Huh? Are you Ryan?" Joseph looked Ryan up and down.

Under the effect of the cloak of concealment, the aura Ryan displayed to everyone was just at the early stage of a first-level wizard. Compared with his young face, it was still quite amazing, but not to the point of being world-shattering.

'He's a first-level wizard, about the same strength as me, but his size makes me look inferior to him! ' Joseph thought.

"Wow, he's so tall and handsome. We finally have someone worth showing off in the Metal Department. Come, come to me. If there's anything going on in the school, I'll protect you."

When Alicia saw the tall Ryan, her beautiful eyes lit up, she smiled happily and waved at Ryan.

Audrey saw Alicia's expression and couldn't help but cover her forehead and said to herself, "Alicia, you're an idiot."

Ryan didn't care at all, he smiled and said, "Thank you, I hope to have a good time with everyone."

"Sir Ryan, this is the part of the Wrath Hammer combat puppet we are currently making." Audrey introduced while pointing to the large number of parts placed in the hall.

"Can you demonstrate it?" Ryan was a little confused, because after a careful look, he found that most of the parts were not difficult to make.

For him, it takes only one second to form, and the next step is to engrave the inscription.

"Okay, Sir Ren."

Audrey walked forward and placed her hands on an iron ingot, which began to slowly deform. After about thirty seconds, a hollow cylindrical component was completed.

Audrey wiped the sweat from her forehead and was quite satisfied with the result. It was formed in one go and did not need further processing.

"Sir Ryan, if you have mastered the art of metal transformation, you can try to transform directly, like I did."

"Of course, you're not familiar with it, so you can go slower at the beginning," Audrey said with a hint of pride.

"Sir? Anyone who comes later than us is a junior. Am I right, Junior Ryan?" Alicia walked over with a smile.

"That's right." Ryan said with a smile.

"Brother Ryan, it's almost lunch time now, how about I treat you to a nice meal?"

"Thank you. Let me treat you next time. I want to learn how to make parts for the Wrath Hammer battle puppet." Ryan declined with a smile.

"Hehe, are you so serious, junior? If you learn it, help me share the burden. Of course, these contribution points will be counted on you." Alicia threw a coquettish glance at Ryan and said.

"Of course." Ryan nodded and did not refuse. This did not conflict with his purpose of earning school contribution points.

"By the way, do all these need to be made?" "Yes, this part is mine, and that part is Alicia's. They are the left and right legs of the Wrath Hammer battle puppet respectively." Audrey nodded and said.

"Well, I'll take these two standard components and study them first. By the way, Audrey, go to lunch first, and bring me a copy later."

"Uh, Lord Ryan, this..."

"listen to me."

"Okay, Mr. Ryan." Audrey nodded hurriedly when she thought of Ryan's strength.

A few minutes later.

In Ryan's room.

After looking at the standard components again, he placed his hand on an iron ingot.

The next second, a cylindrical component that was exactly the same as the puppet component Audrey had demonstrated before, the thigh of the Angry Hammer Combat Puppet, was transformed.

But it was so fast that it was done in almost an instant.

A few tenths of a second, a minute and a half
In comparison, Ryan's transformation speed is that of a Ferrari 458, while Audrey's metal transformation is no different from the slow crawling of a turtle.

This is also the reason why Ryan sent Audrey away.

"One component costs 10 contribution points. 500 points means you can make 50 of them. It only takes a minute."

"Even if it is considered an inscription, the primary defensive inscription is just what I can master. I can finish one every two minutes, so I can finish it in one hundred and one minutes." Ryan's eyes lit up after a brief calculation.

The actual production process was faster than Ryan expected.

It took Ryan about an hour to complete the components worth 500 contribution points.

As he became more and more skilled at making primary defensive inscriptions, the time it took was reduced from the expected two minutes to one minute.

After finishing, Ryan was not in a hurry to go out, but rested in the room.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Please come in!"

Audrey and Alicia came in, carrying a meal and a cup of coffee for Ryan respectively.

Suddenly, the two seemed to be struck by lightning!
I saw that the room in front of me was full of components.

"Bang!"

"Oh my god! Ryan, you..."

Both Audrey and the mature and beautiful Alicia stared at the scene with wide eyes, as if they had seen a ghost.

What did they see?
It took Ryan just over an hour to complete nearly half a month's worth of work that they had planned?
"Haha, Metal Transfiguration is the witchcraft I am best at, so the speed is faster. In addition, I also happen to know the basic defensive inscriptions." Ryan said with a smile.

Alicia, who always loves beauty, no longer cares about the coffee splashed on her body. Instead, she excitedly ran to the large component and looked at it carefully.

"Oh my God! Ryan, you actually finished it all." After checking, Alicia found that each component was almost exactly the same as the standard component, and immediately exclaimed.

When Audrey thought about Ryan's strength as a second-level liquefied wizard, she found it easier to accept the scene before her, but she was also shocked.

"Is there such a big gap between a second-level wizard and a first-level wizard?"

"This shouldn't happen!" Audrey murmured in her heart.

That afternoon, Ryan obtained the long-awaited second level of the Iron Heart Advanced Meditation Method.

Ryan looked at the clock on the wall. It was already five o'clock in the afternoon.

After thinking about it, he said goodbye to Mogaro.

Anna was still in the Bavarian family mansion. Since he had already obtained the second level of the Iron Heart Advanced Meditation Method according to the established plan, he planned to go back early and strike while the iron was hot, and study it carefully in the evening.

"Teacher, I'll go back first. I plan to study meditation first, so I may not come to the school in the next two days."

"Ryan, manage your own time." Mogaro looked at Ryan with a gratified expression and said.

He couldn't be more satisfied with the student in front of him.

The Bavarian family's carriage was still waiting at the door of Craig Wine Company.

After Ryan got on, the carriage drove away quickly and returned to the Bavarian mansion.

After having dinner with Anna, Ryan went to the study and took out the memory crystal that recorded the second level of the Iron Heart Advanced Meditation Method.

Soon, a special memory content appeared in his mind, and Ryan began to comprehend it carefully.

"The second level of the Iron Heart Advanced Meditation Method, which is more difficult to practice."

"But after successfully practicing, in addition to being able to further condense mental power and promote the liquefaction of mental power, it will also increase the power of metal-based witchcraft by about 40%."

Seeing this, Ryan's eyes lit up.

"40%? That's incredible. When I was on the first level, it was only 20%, which was already a good effect. Now it's 40%."

You know, for a first-level wizard, even if his mental power is atomized by more than 90%, the increased power of his witchcraft is only about %.

The special effect of the Iron Heart Advanced Meditation Method has reached 40%, which is quite high!

Of course, this only applies to metal witchcraft.

But for Ryan, the effect was extremely amazing.

Don't forget, Ryan's affinity with metal is superb!

"Let's take the first-level metal magic 'Metal Barrier' as an example. When I first became a first-level wizard, my defense was about 40 degrees."

"But at the moment, if we roughly calculate it, multiply it by the 1.5 times increase in mental power, and then multiply it by the 1.4 times increase in the special effect of 'Heart of Steel', it will be as high as 84 degrees."

"You should know that the power of a general second-level magic is roughly between 60 and 100 degrees. If I can successfully master the second level of 'Heart of Steel', I can almost use a first-level magic as a second-level magic."

Although the power of a level 50 liquefied wizard casting a level 60 spell is naturally greatly enhanced compared to a level wizard, it is generally only around to degrees, which just reaches the lower limit of the power of level spells.

But Ryan is different.

Once he has mastered the second level of 'Heart of Steel', the power of the first level metal magic he casts will directly reach the mainstream level of the second level magic.

This is the super affinity for metal elements, coupled with an advanced meditation method that is almost tailor-made for me, which produces an explosive effect where the sum of one is greater than the other!

It is comparable to some top-level advanced meditation methods that can grant special witchcraft after successful practice.

"As Master Mogaro said, this advanced meditation method is especially suitable for people with a high affinity for metal elements. It really suits me."

Ryan was overjoyed!

After calming down, Ryan immediately focused his mind and began to practice seriously according to the requirements of the second level.

Unlike the three-dimensional pattern of thirty-six will runes on the first layer, the three-dimensional pattern on the second layer is more complex and naturally more difficult.

If you don't have enough mental strength, you will feel dizzy just looking at this three-dimensional pattern.

Ryan counted carefully and found that the three-dimensional pattern on the second layer was composed of exactly sixty will runes.

Nearly two-thirds more than the first floor!

You can imagine how difficult it is to sketch it out in your mind all at once.

"Hiss~ This is so difficult!"

“I’m afraid it’s extremely difficult for an average second-level liquefaction wizard to get started.” Ryan nodded secretly.

"However, my mental strength is much higher than others, so it should be faster."

Ryan glanced at the attribute panel. The spiritual attribute of 90 was the source of his confidence.

"Of course, if you want to go faster, you have to rely on the attribute points you saved up before."

Immediately, Ryan began to visualize the three-dimensional structure of the second layer in his mind.

After one hour.

After trying more than twenty times, Ryan's spiritual attribute of 90 points is not a lie.

He is currently able to successfully visualize a pattern consisting of 55 will runes, with only 5 remaining to be completed.

However, after trying so many times, Ryan finally felt a slight swelling in his temples.

Obviously, this is because practicing the second level of advanced meditation consumes too much mental energy, and the current progress has reached his limit.

Fortunately, Ryan had practiced tailoring skills in Munster before and saved up a full 12 attribute points, just for use at critical moments such as breakthroughs or battles.

With almost no hesitation, Ryan added 1 point to his spirit.

In an instant, his spirit level increased from 90 points to 91 points. At the same time, Ryan felt his brain become clear, as if a clear spring suddenly appeared in his spiritual sea, washing away the intense mental fatigue.

Immediately, Ryan, who had recovered to his peak state, began to outline the complex three-dimensional pattern of the second level of the Iron Heart Advanced Meditation Method in his mind again.

Another hour passed.

The first rune of will.

The thirtieth
The fifty-eighth will rune!
"Great! Just a little bit, only two left!"

Although Ryan felt dizzy again, he was now only one step away from success, so there was no reason to give up halfway!
So Ryan added another point.
Half an hour later, Ryan looked delighted and waved his fist vigorously!
In his sea of ​​consciousness, he saw that the originally thin circular base at the bottom of the crystal had almost doubled in thickness at this moment.

And the system prompt also came:
[You have practiced the second level of the Iron Heart Advanced Meditation Method, and your understanding of the relevant knowledge has improved! ]

[Your skill Iron Heart Advanced Meditation is upgraded, experience value +3]
