Chapter 519 Emergency Modification

"Not sure, it seems like this island has been around for a long time."

"Besides, if it's an old dragon, it's fine. But if it's a very old red dragon, I can't help you at all now. Instead, I'll be a burden." Menia shook her head and said.

"So, Ryan, if you want to explore, wait for me for a few more days until I have temporarily controlled the injury."

"Of course no problem, Your Highness Menia." Ryan had no objection to Menia's request.

Moreover, what Menia said was right. If the opponent was a red dragon at the level of an extremely old dragon, then its strength would be close to the epic peak, and it would probably not be much different from the Red Dragon King Strahzad.

Although Ryan is not afraid, once the fight starts, he will definitely not be able to take care of His Highness Menia who is standing beside him.

Worried about the powerful red dragon that might exist in the lava lake, Menia soon entered deep meditation again to recover, and Ryan naturally continued to study his goblin engineering.

Considering that Menia's injuries were not unstable, Ryan could only temporarily give up the plan of using witchcraft to communicate. After all, if there were wizards or sorcerers of the Poseidon Church above the island, they might detect the communication signal and expose their own position.

However, it is also a very pleasant thing to study a subject of interest seriously in such a quiet environment.

Soon, with the successful completion of the 100st 'Magic Iron Rifle', the Goblin Engineering Knowledge reached % as a matter of course, and the system prompt also appeared on the screen in Ryan's mind:

[Ding! The host has mastered the basic knowledge of goblin engineering, triggering the subsequent job change - Goblin Engineer (Legendary)! ]

[Prerequisites for promotion to Goblin Engineer (Legendary): 5. Casting or mechanical extraordinary profession level 18 or above (Great Armorsmith meets the requirement); 18. Strength 20 points or above, Constitution points or above, Spirit points or above; . Master the knowledge related to Goblin Engineering; . Independently produce any three qualified Goblin Engineering creations. The current conditions are met! Yes/No to transfer to Goblin Engineer (Legendary)? ]

[Note: After changing to Goblin Engineer (Legendary), the original Great Armorsmith (Superb) occupation panel will be integrated into the Goblin Engineer (Legendary) occupation panel. ]

Without any hesitation, Ryan immediately chose "yes"!
【Start job transfer.】

[Ding! Successfully changed to Goblin Engineer (Legendary)! Strength +3, Agility +3, Spirit +5! ]

[Obtain the Goblin Engineer (Legendary) core skill: Emergency Modification (Active)]

Only seen on the system panel.

The original Great Armorer (Extraordinary) profession panel has disappeared, and instead, the Goblin Engineer (Legendary) profession panel has appeared.

The entire panel was flashing with an extremely strong blue light. In Ryan's memory, it seemed to be even brighter than the blue of the Weapon Master (Legendary) that had appeared before, and almost the same level of blue light as the Warhammer Wizard (Legendary).

This seems to mean that even among legendary professions, Goblin Engineer (Legendary) is a top profession.

Of course, Ryan’s current vision is high, and he is not ecstatic, but joy is inevitable.

"Hey, emergency modification?"

Ryan couldn't help but focus on the new core skill, because the name alone was very interesting. The skill description was as follows:
[Emergency Modification (Active) Effect: Goblin Engineers can perform emergency modifications on mechanical devices based on on-site conditions and resources. For example, in the absence of certain specific parts, they can use other materials to make temporary substitutes, or modify mechanical parts originally used for other purposes to meet the current mechanical device needs. ]

(Note: Emergency modification of spare parts will consume mental power in equal amounts. The higher the complexity of the spare parts and the scarcity of the materials, the greater the mental power consumed. At the same time, the duration of the spare parts that should be modified will also be limited.)
"interesting."

When Ryan carefully read the effect description of the core skill in front of him, a smile appeared on his face.

It would be fine if it was a small or medium-sized mechanical device, but it is impossible for all the materials on a large mechanical device to be metal. Even the prototype, which is almost 99% full metal, has a small amount of insulating ceramic parts and rubber seals inside.

Therefore, even though Ryan could find a large amount of various metals on the shore of the lava lake, and also mastered fire magic, and could melt and deform alloys at will, he still could not produce large-scale mechanical devices, and there were still a small number of key spare parts that could not be solved.

But now, things have taken a turn for the better!
"That's great. Maybe I can try to make some large mechanical devices, and at the same time improve the level of the goblin engineer and accumulate some attribute points and skill points." Ryan thought to himself.

Since the last battle, Ryan has only a few attribute points left. If he really encounters a stronger enemy, he will still be very passive.

So, without much hesitation, Ryan quickly started making it.

Soon, as metal parts of various shapes quickly deformed and appeared in Ryan's hands, a prototype of a mechanical chocobo that had appeared many times in the ruins of the floating city gradually appeared in front of him.

Another ten minutes passed.

As Ryan silently recited "emergency modification" in his mind, he saw that without any insulating materials, he used his mental power to call upon the mysterious side energy particles to affect and change the special effects of metal properties in a short period of time, and quickly assembled a small energy furnace device that was more than half a meter long and nearly cylindrical.

Finally, when he inserted a Hellfire Crystal, a power core suitable for the mechanical chocobo was completed.

This is also the most troublesome part.

Logically speaking, the production of a small energy furnace requires a lot of insulating parts to isolate the energy dissipation inside the furnace, but Ryan relied on the core skill "Emergency Modification" to perfectly avoid this bottleneck problem.

The next step is easy.

Soon, a buzzing mechanical chocobo appeared in front of Ryan.

"It really works, that's great!"

Ryan smiled and admired the mechanical chocobo that he had seen several times before. The relevant insights into goblin engineering production emerged in his mind.

At the same time, the system prompt appears:

[You have made a mechanical chocobo, and your understanding of it has improved! ]

[You have learned a new skill - Mechanical Chocobo Production]

[Your skill of Mechanical Chocobo Production is improved, experience value +20]

[You focus on the production of mechanical chocobos, your Goblin Engineer (Legendary) career experience +30]

Since Ryan has three major advantages, namely, super affinity for metal, late stage Dawn Wizard, and the fourth level of Iron Heart Advanced Meditation, he is almost as good as a small goblin engineering workshop.

Some spare parts that originally required molding machines, milling machines and other mechanical equipment to produce were all made by Ryan alone, and with higher precision.

This resulted in Ryan completing the mechanical chocobo in less than two hours, which originally required the cooperation of several goblin engineers and took ten days to half a month to complete!

"+30? Doesn't it mean that we can upgrade it to level 2 by making four mechanical chocobos?" Ryan raised his eyebrows and said.

Ryan, with a burning desire in his heart, soon devoted himself to the production of the mechanical chocobo again.

Another three days passed, and Ryan did not wait for Menia to wake up, but waited for the goblin engineer to enter level 5.

At the same time, a series of new system prompts also appeared. The most important thing was that the job transfer conditions for the Goblin Engineering Expert (Epic), which had appeared in the floating city before but were not clearly stated in detail, were clarified this time.

[Ding! The host's Goblin Engineer (Legend) has been detected to have reached level 5, triggering the promotion and job change - Goblin Engineering Expert (Epic)! ]

[Prerequisites for promotion to Goblin Engineering Expert (Epic): 5. Goblin Engineer (Legend) lv20 or above; 20. Strength 20 points or above, Constitution 40 points or above, Agility points or above, Spirit points or above; . Master advanced knowledge of Goblin Engineering; . Independently produce any five qualified advanced Goblin Engineering artifacts. Current conditions are not met! Job transfer to Goblin Engineering Expert (Epic) failed! ]

"As expected, all the job transfer conditions have appeared."

"High-difficulty knowledge of goblin engineering? Not a big problem. It's basically the contents of the second memory crystal from last time."

"Advanced goblin engineering? Making super-large mechanical devices like the prototype and the mechanical octopus?"

Ryan took a closer look and discovered that as long as he kept up with the relevant knowledge, he could change his job almost at any time. This made him feel much better!

Because this not only means the emergence of a powerful combat profession, but also contributes considerable attribute points and skill points as the profession level increases.

Somehow, his mind suddenly emerged, the goblin corpse wearing a white coat on the second floor below the floating city ruins, constantly waking up one prototype after another. "The other party should be the so-called goblin engineering expert, right?" Ryan couldn't help but think.

Imperial capital of Tamriel.

Inside the headquarters of the Bixiu Construction School.

The sect leader Moriah, along with Ryan's mentor Mogaro, are leading a number of key personnel in the school's construction hall, trying to repair the super-giant golem 'The Destroyer' that was destroyed in the previous battle in Ferdinand Forest.

Although what was shot out and exploded was the core of a large furnace equipped with Abyssal Fire, the Destroyer Golem was almost melted because it was too close to the explosion!
However, when the remains of the giant iron lump were transported back for inspection, everyone was greatly surprised. Although the external integrity rate was only 20%, the internal integrity rate reached 80%.

Most of the damage was to the outer metal and a small amount of wiring.

There is no need to remake a Destroyer, but instead you can consider repairing it directly.

Now, nearly a month has passed, and more than 70% of the entire restoration project has been completed. The rest involves some issues related to the differences in the devices, such as the differences between ancient large furnace devices and contemporary furnaces.

Because once the adjustment is made, the line will also need to be adjusted synchronously. Although it is not difficult, it is quite time-consuming and laborious.

"Boom boom boom!"

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the hall!
"Come in!" Moria said without raising his head.

The person who came was the deputy sect leader Bradley. He had a gloomy face and reported: "School leader, the Imperial School Joint Conference has received news that our school's promotion application has been shelved."

"What! Why is it put on hold?"

Upon hearing the news, Mogaro, who was bending over to check the lines, couldn't help but look up at Bradley in surprise.

Several other core members of the school also showed expressions of shock.

"What's the reason? Even if the Destroyer Golem has not been fully repaired, Lord Ryan is a genuine fourth-level Dawn Wizard, so he should meet the requirements for promotion!"

Compared to others, the school leader Moria was more patient. He thought for a moment and asked.

"Well." Bradley looked at the people around him and whispered, "Master, please come to the side with Lord Mogaro and talk to me."

"Hmm? Okay!" Moria looked at Bradley in confusion and nodded.

So, the two of them quickly followed Bradley to the side.

Bradley's face turned serious and he said, "I heard something happened to Lord Ryan."

"Huh? Something happened? But wasn't Ryan accompanying His Highness Menia on a visit to the Federation? Could something go wrong here?" Mogaro glanced at Bradley suspiciously.

"His Highness Menia has also encountered an accident! I have asked a few old friends to verify it! They said that the imperial delegation was ambushed by the incarnation of the Goddess of the Underworld and a large number of Poseidon believers on their way back." Bradley shook his head and sighed.

"What!" Upon hearing the news, even the calm sect leader Moria's eyes widened.

"Then both of them." Mogaro said in shock.

"I don't know. However, according to the rumors from the Astrologer's Platform, the great astrologer His Majesty Dallion made a divination and it showed that both of them should be alive, but they seem to be imprisoned by the goddess of the underworld."

"What does the Empire say?" Moria calmed down his excited mood and asked again.

"It's not clear yet." Bradley shook his head and said.

"No wonder the Imperial Federation of Wizarding Schools has shelved our application! What a bunch of opportunists!"

In an instant, Moria understood the reason. After all, the fewer large wizard schools there are, the better. No large school would like to see a medium-sized wizard school promoted.

It was impossible to stop him before, after all, the fighting power displayed by Ryan was too strong.

In addition, the Empire also did not want the emergence of too many large wizarding schools, and coupled with the deliberate interference of certain forces, what was originally a foregone conclusion turned out to be such a change.

"Alas! In the deep sea, and at the headquarters of the Poseidon Cult, our school is too weak! It is impossible to rescue Ryan!" Ryan's mentor Mogaro said with a look of pain on his face.

Ryan is his most proud disciple, but now he knows that he is in trouble and as a mentor he cannot rescue him. It is really a torture!
"The most troublesome thing now is that the Isolde School believes that our Destroyer Golem technology was stolen from them, and they want us to submit detailed information to the Imperial Federation of Wizarding Schools within half a month!" Bradley said bitterly.

"What! How shameless! These shameless people!"

"They are taking advantage of the situation!" Moria was so angry that he almost jumped up!

at the same time.

The inner ring of the imperial capital.

The Snyder family residence.

"Lord Luther, we have always had a good relationship with the Snyder family, and we have cooperated in many areas. This time, I was entrusted by a friend to bring you a message. Your friend, Lord Ryan, may have met with an accident, so I hope you don't pay too much attention to some things."

A middle-aged man dressed as a gentleman bowed slightly and said.

"Mr. Ryan is not only my good friend, but also has made outstanding contributions to the empire. Isn't it a bit too much for you to do this?" Luther said with a grim expression.

This was already the fourth wave of representatives of the imperial capital's nobles who had come to the door and implicitly asked the Snyder family to stop interfering.

Although the other party came in with the excuse of discussing trade, in the end, the conversation focused on his good friend Ryan. The meaning behind this was self-evident!

If it was just one or two families, Luther would naturally not be afraid!

But the problem now is that this is the fourth one, and representatives of the Guardian family have started to show up.

Even though the Snyder family is the most powerful in the Marne Province, this is the imperial capital, and in comparison, they are still the weaker party.

In addition, the most important problem was that he didn't know how to convince his father. After all, he had also inquired and knew that Ryan might not be able to come back.

On one side is his good friend Ryan, and on the other side are the interests and even safety of his own family. This is an extremely difficult choice for Luther!

The same thing happened in the Bavarian family mansion.

"Sir Harlowen, you don't need to feel guilty about a friend who will never come back. You just did what is best for yourself and your family, didn't you?"

"You should know that our two countries can carry out in-depth cooperation in many areas of trade."

"By the way, your father, the Duke of Munster, seems to be a little too persistent. I might as well speak frankly about some things. Next, we will take some actions in Munster. I hope you can persuade your father. After all, the province of Munster is the fief of your family."

Hallowen, nicknamed 'The Spear of Bavaria', was in the reception room at the moment, watching a middle-aged man in aristocratic attire leave with a serious face, while the words the other party had just said were still ringing in his ears.

The other party was from the Drum family, and to sum it up, he was told to mind his own business with the Bavarian family.

"It seems that I need to find someone to discuss countermeasures."

"The other party is going to take action in Munster? But aren't Lord Ryan's family members in the imperial capital?"

"But no matter what, we have to notify father immediately and be prepared," Harlowen said thoughtfully.
