Chapter 435 New Witchcraft from the Federation
When Hammadi saw Ryan finally picked up a witchcraft scroll and started reading it, the smile on his face became even brighter.

Are you kidding? This was something his superior, Lord Royce, had to apply for from the Federation with great difficulty.

If this was rejected, he would have a hard time explaining himself when he returned.

However, there is no one else who can win over the Federation to this extent except Lord Ryan in front of him!

This Lord Ryan is young and powerful. He is not only a rare and urgently needed high-level metal wizard in the Federation, but also a future dragon knight.

"Huh? Metal Transfiguration?"

Ryan didn't expect that the first parchment scroll recording witchcraft would actually record metal transfiguration.

"Could it be that Lord Ryan has already mastered the first bit of witchcraft?" Hammadi was also quite surprised and said.

"That's great. This means you will spend much less energy to master this witchcraft killer move. By the way, Mr. Ryan, you might as well continue to look at the second parchment scroll."

Because he had heard from his boss Royce that in the entire federation, there were only about a dozen types of metal-based witchcraft at all levels, and there were only a handful of them that could form the Dawn Killer Move.

Hammadi even doubted whether there could be more than two metal-based Dawn killer moves.

In fact, Ryan was even more interested.

He opened the second parchment scroll containing the witchcraft, and the content inside was the second-level metal witchcraft "Cutting Net" that he accidentally obtained from the Windy Tundra!
"Hmm? Lord Ryan, it can't be..." As an expert in observing micro-expressions, Hammadi was also stunned for a moment.

Because he could see that Ryan seemed to have learned the witchcraft recorded in the second parchment.

Ryan did not answer Hammadi's question, but picked up the third parchment scroll that recorded witchcraft with great excitement.

Originally, Ryan had always thought that due to the interruption of inheritance, he might not be able to find the follow-up witchcraft of "Cutting Web", or the witchcraft that could be combined.

Of course, not all witchcraft can be combined into a killer witchcraft move, but Ryan has always had a feeling that there should be more advanced witchcraft behind the second-level witchcraft "Cutting Net".

Unexpectedly, this day came so soon.

There were only a few large characters on the parchment: Level 3 metal-based witchcraft “Serrated Ring”.

After a quick scan, Ryan understood.

According to the description in the parchment, the witchcraft effect of this "serrated ring" is to form a special metal wire with serrations into a ring and rotate it at high speed to attack.

The extremely high rotation speed will cause the tiny saw teeth on the metal wire to produce extremely high cutting destructive power.

Of course, the most important thing is not that 'Serrated Ring' is a third-level metal-based witchcraft, but because the 'Serrated Ring' witchcraft is a key link in the fourth-level Dawn Killing Move!
This is an open conspiracy on the other side. Let me tell you clearly that we can give you the first three witchcrafts of Dawn's killer move for free, but not the last one, the fourth-level witchcraft, unless you join the Federation!

But even so, to be honest, Ryan couldn't find any reason to refuse this gift, especially after he became a Dragon Vein Wizard and acquired the core skill of 'Dragon Soul Smash'.

After a brief thought, Ryan said, "Mr. Hamadi, I like this gift very much. However, please state your intention directly."

"Or, in other words, what do I need to pay to accept this gift?"

As Ryan said this, he looked directly at Hammadi, his aura slightly exuding from him, which immediately made Hammadi's heart tremble.

He wanted to say something polite, but he changed his mind immediately. Hamadi's face became serious and he said, "Sir Ryan, I hope you can take some time to visit the Federation within the next six months."

“Go and see for yourself the free, open and vibrant country of the Eagle Federation.”

The condition proposed by Hammadi was well considered.

He and his boss Royce agreed that if they wanted to persuade Lord Ryan to join the Federation, it would be better to take the young Lord Ryan to the Eagle Federation.

Hammadi remembers clearly the shock he felt when he first arrived in Westin, a large city on the west coast of the Federation.

He believed that persuading Ryan at that time would be more effective.

Secondly, if Ryan agreed to go to the Eagle Federation, it would be equivalent to them bringing Ryan to the Eagle Federation. If they still couldn't keep him, it would not be a problem of their intelligence department.

At the same time, their intelligence department also has an explanation for this investment or effort.

Ryan thought seriously about Hammadi's request.

To be honest, this requirement is not too difficult, but too simple.

Originally, Ryan thought that Hammadi would ask him to express his stance, or at the very least, ask him to provide some convenience in the confrontation between the Empire and the Federation as a token of his allegiance.

But I didn't expect that the other party would eventually make such a request.

Although it was sensitive for him to travel to the Federation privately as a member of the Empire's special department, it would be relatively simple for him to travel to the Federation in an official capacity or on a specific mission.

There are some individual missions within the Sword Bearer Headquarters that require traveling to the Eagle Federation territory.

In other words, this matter is not difficult for Ryan.

"Okay! Mr. Hammadi, that's no problem. I will go to the Federation within six months. Also, please convey my thanks to Councillor Trena! I really like her gift."

Ryan straightened up slightly and said.

"You're welcome! Sir Ryan, I won't bother you anymore. You just came back from the Dragon Knight re-examination, so have a good rest." When Hammadi saw that Ryan accepted this condition, he was as excited as Ryan who had gained new witchcraft.

At the same time, he also nodded at the end, which showed the efficient intelligence network established by the Federation within the empire.

"Thank you. I'll see Mr. Hammadi off." Ryan naturally had to show courtesy to Hammadi, who brought new witchcraft.

After Hammadi left, Ryan couldn't wait to open the parchment again and try to figure out the third-level metal attack sorcery 'Sawtooth Ring'.

Although he currently has only 3 skill points, it does not affect him from learning and mastering the 'Serrated Ring' first.

Half an hour later, Ryan seemed to understand something, and the system prompt came:

[You have studied the Sawtooth Ring, and your understanding of it has improved! ]

[You have learned a new skill - Sawtooth Ring]

[Your skill Sawtooth Ring is upgraded, experience value +3]

Ryan quickly found a brand new large icon on the Dragon Vein Wizard (Legend) profession panel.

The pattern in the icon is a circular metal wire, but if you look closely, you will find that this metal wire is quite special, as it is covered with fine serrations.

In addition, there is a line of small text below the icon showing the following:
Sawtooth Ring lv1 (1/100)

Sawtooth Ring lv1 Effect: Consume a certain amount of mental power, use a specific witchcraft model to induce the surrounding metal energy particles to strengthen the sawtooth wire, and quickly form a high-speed rotating ring to attack the enemy. Required materials: any metal sawtooth wire.

(Note: The power of the Serration Ring is proportional to the quality of the Serration Wire.)
(Note: The operation takes 3 seconds.)
After Ryan tried to perform it several times, he found that just like the third-level metal spell 'Iron Ball of Thorns', the proficiency level of 'Serrated Ring' was several times more difficult to improve than the second-level spell, and the improvement was quite slow.

If he didn't use the method of adding points to improve his skills, it would probably take several years or even longer to reach the proficiency required to release witchcraft killing moves, even with his talent.

So, this brings us back to the question he was thinking about before - the choice of a new career.

Only by choosing a new profession can you quickly acquire a large number of skill points and quickly transform the third-level metal sorcery "Serrated Ring" into combat effectiveness.

Thinking of this, Ryan sat back in his chair again and started thinking seriously.

In fact, Ryan already had a preliminary plan for a new profession, which was leatherworker. This profession was very similar to tailoring and had a relatively extensive career advancement system.

Although the core skills of related professions are likely to be not very powerful, just like those of a tailor, this is not important to Ryan at the moment.

Currently, he has enough strong core skills, such as 'Dragon Soul Smash', 'Weakness Control', etc. The only thing he lacks is skill points.

After thinking about it, Ryan decided that tomorrow morning, he would ask someone to find a skilled leatherworker or preferably a leatherwork master to learn the leatherworking craft.

The stars lit up the night sky. In this season, a rare mist rose in the sky of the imperial capital of Tamriel, making the originally bright starry sky gradually become hazy.

With the end of the Dragon Knight re-examination, the martial law level at the Astrologer's Platform began to drop, and important information began to be transmitted from here to various parts of the empire.

In the second prince’s residence, in the study room of the main building.

Buchanan was respectfully reporting to the Second Prince Everton behind the desk.

"You just said that Quinna was discovered by Ryan as soon as she appeared and was subdued immediately?" Second Prince Everton had anticipated Ryan's refusal, so he had already made arrangements for a backup plan - Quinna, who has the blood of a shadow dragon.

But after hearing what Buchanan described, he couldn't help but feel a little confused, and at the same time, he also felt that something was wrong.

Because he was quite familiar with Quinna, who possessed the rare bloodline of the Shadow Dragon.

Not to mention the opponent's innate ability to launch attacks from the shadows, even without activating the innate ability, Quinna has reached the peak legendary level with her own combat power. The reason why she was not sent to the secret realm this time was because she had other tasks.

Logically speaking, it is impossible for Ryan to subdue him so easily.

Unless Ryan's strength is far beyond previous expectations.

"Yes, Your Highness. It only took three seconds, no, two seconds, for Quinna to be pinned to the ground. Although she was still alive, she had completely lost the ability to resist."

"I understand." The second prince nodded and said.

"Your Highness, what should we do now? Quinna is now imprisoned in the Sword Bearer headquarters, and it is difficult to rescue her." Buchanan said, wiping the beads of sweat from his forehead.

It’s not that he is incompetent, but because of the last internal purge of the Sword Bearer, there is almost no one available in the Sword Bearer headquarters.

The few hidden players that could be called upon were either not high enough in level or not strong enough, so they were of no use this time.

"I will contact someone to deal with this matter later." The second prince waved his hand and said.

At this time, a servant outside the door hurriedly reported, "Your Highness, Lord Buchanan, urgent information."

Ok?
Buchanan took it immediately, waved his hand and sent the servant away.

He respectfully handed the envelope to the second prince Everton.

Everton took a quick look and his expression changed immediately!
This suddenly made Buchanan's heart tighten, and he immediately realized that the content of the letter must have been beyond the expectations of His Royal Highness the Second Prince. Otherwise, as far as he knew, His Royal Highness would not have this expression.

You know, Quinna’s mission failure just now only made the second prince’s smile fade away.

"Buchanan, it seems that we have underestimated Ryan's talent!" Everton handed the letter to Buchanan and said.

Ok?
Buchanan's heart skipped a beat.

He took the information and quickly scanned it, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "What! After Ryan's transformation, his strength seems to have reached the epic level?"

"Your Highness, is this information accurate?"

"This news must have come from one of the commanders of this secret realm. It should be correct." Everton nodded and said.

He stood up, smiled again, and said, "However, this makes me more and more interested. This dragon bloodline of Ren should be extraordinary. We must get it."

The second prince, Everton, tapped his fingers rhythmically on the armrest. After a while, he said, "Is Bostaff carrying out a mission in the Forbidden Islands now?"

"Yes, Your Highness!" Buchanan's heart trembled when he heard the name Bostaff.

The other party was the only survivor of the experimental subject under the Second Prince who had successfully fused the bloodlines of three dragons. However, due to the sequelae of the fusion of different bloodlines, Bostav had an extremely violent personality, so he was arranged to perform missions outside the empire for a long time.

All of these tasks are extremely difficult and thorny.

Although he had only seen Bostaf in human form, it was said that after he transformed, he was powerful enough to kill epic beasts.

"Tell him to come back. As for you, send someone to focus on Ryan's movements."

"Understood, Your Highness. I will contact Lord Bostaff right away."

Somewhere in the heart of the empire.

The headquarters of the Secret Snake Cult.

A middle-aged man in a black robe, who had just received urgent intelligence, was carefully reporting something to a majestic old man holding a red snake-head scepter.

Although he had chosen his words as carefully as possible, the news itself was too shocking. The next second, the majestic old man's face changed immediately!
"What! You said that the Eredar sisters betrayed their religion? And became followers of a man named Ryan?" The majestic old man was the Pope of the Secret Snake Cult, Karad. He was shocked when he heard the news.

Such a thing hasn't happened in the church for many years!
The Eredar sisters were the top three of the Twelve Serpent Messengers, yet they actually apostatized? !
At this time, a third-level sorcerer who was in charge of the prayer ceremony ran into the vaulted hall with a horrified look on his face, spitting blood, and exclaimed:
"Your Holiness! Your Holiness!"

"Puff~ The prayer ceremony failed, the great Devouring Serpent brought down divine punishment, and now more than a dozen elite members of the church who were praying are all dead!"

This third-level sorcerer has been presiding over the ceremony for nearly twenty-five years. He has sacrificed three virgins with special physiques in succession, but he has failed to quell the wrath of that great being.

This was the first time he encountered this situation!
"Snap!" As the Snake Cult Pope Karad slapped the armrest of the giant snake throne heavily, the metal armrest with the exquisite snake head sculpture was immediately broken.

"This time, I'm afraid our Secret Snake Cult will become the laughing stock of other churches!"

Thinking of the failure of the prayer ceremony and the series of consequences that followed, the usually expressionless Pope of the Snake Cult, Karad, was now shaking with anger!
"I will make these two traitors suffer a fate worse than death!"

After hearing these words, all the guards and servants in the hall changed color and became silent!
They know that His Holiness is really angry!
He stood up and paced back and forth in the empty vaulted hall. It took him five minutes to calm down.

In addition, during these few minutes, combined with the information reported by the spies, Karad basically figured out how the Eredar sisters broke away from their oaths in the church and how they escaped from the control of the Devouring Serpent.

In addition, as the messengers of the Twelve Secret Serpents and a pair of sisters whom the Great Devouring Serpent loved very much, it is no wonder that the prayer ceremony failed after such a change.

"What's the situation with this Ryan who made the two of them voluntarily pledge allegiance to him?" At this time, there was no longer much anger in Pope Karad's tone, which made the sorcerer who was reporting feel a little relieved.

After carefully organizing his words in his mind, the sorcerer said, "Well, this Ryan is an Imperial Gold-level swordsman, and one of the key targets of our church."

Hearing this, Karad frowned slightly, as if he had thought of something, and said:
"I remember now. The church reported this before. Was he the swordsman who killed 'Ice Snake' Edmundo and 'Mad Snake' Icosela?"

"Yes, Your Holiness." Immediately, the sorcerer reported the intelligence he had about Ryan in detail again.

"Send someone to keep an eye on this Ryan. Since he is a sword-bearer, he will definitely go out for action. Once he leaves Tamriel, let the Quileute kill him immediately!" Pope Karard said in a deep voice.

At this time, the sorcerer beside him carefully reminded:

"Uh, Your Holiness, you forgot that the Quileute Vice-Pope has just set off for Ferdinand Forest. The Mother Tree Cult's operations there have already begun, and the conditions are ripe. According to the agreement, we must also send elite forces there."

"Has the Quileute already set out? Then let Minos go!"

"As you command, Your Holiness." The sorcerer carefully raised his head and glanced at Pope Karad, then bowed, fearing that he would anger the other party.

Somehow, Pope Karard's memory became worse and worse, his temper became more and more irritable, and even his breath began to become a little strange.
