The wizard starts by trimming the donkey's hooves

Chapter 533 Association and Fear

"Dornok's Poison Effect: Greatly reduces the body's self-healing ability, continuously causes poisoning damage, and comes with weakness curse and fatigue curse."

Finally, there is a system-given self-healing time of "71:59:55".

"Even with my physique and poison resistance, it will take three days to completely eliminate it. The accompanying curse effect is the most troublesome, reducing my strength by about 20%."

Ryan felt it and found that the mental fluctuations he displayed at this moment had dropped to the middle stage of dawn.

However, since it could heal itself, Ryan was not particularly worried and immediately checked the attribute panel again.

Spirit: 282 (Qualitative 92%)

"After killing 'Unlistenable' Kesir, the absorption increased by 12%. The second time I killed 'Unlistenable' Dornok, it increased by 11%."

"I have completely reached the pinnacle of the Dawn Wizard."

As soon as he saw the current qualitative level, the depression in Ryan's heart caused by being poisoned by Donok immediately disappeared.

Because if Ryan was given another choice, even if he knew that he would be poisoned if he killed Donok, he would kill him without hesitation.

Three days of weakness in exchange for permanent strength improvement, everyone knows how to make the choice.

At this moment, Ryan suddenly looked up at the sky in the distance.

A huge airship slowly appeared on the skyline. With Ryan's eyesight, he could naturally see that the logo on the airship's airbag was a five-colored dragon pattern.

At the same time, the lookout on the airship could naturally see the huge pit in the square of the Isodri School in the center of the city of Nilheim, as well as the smoke and dust that had not yet completely dissipated.

Soon, the situation was reported to everyone in the conference room.

"What! Most of the Isolde School's headquarters are suspected to be destroyed?"

"This Lord Ryan is too young, and what he did is too extreme!" Pentoskirk, the Imperial Guardian nicknamed 'Storm Cloud', slammed the table heavily and shouted angrily.

"Doesn't he know that the Isolder School is located in the center of Nilheim? His reckless attack is a complete disregard for the lives of ordinary civilians in the empire."

"Elder Ivan, I suggest that the Senate temporarily put on hold the review of Ryan's Guardian candidate status. Even though his strength has reached the basic requirements of an Imperial Guardian, his personal qualities do not meet the requirements of an Imperial Guardian."

At this time, Imperial Army Marshal Meyer Ryan also echoed:

"Yes! There is another question. If the Isolde School asks us to deal with Mr. Ryan, what do you think we should do?"

"I need to remind you that if we don't deal with it and the Isolder School becomes discouraged, who will help the Empire to guard the Cyrodiil Plateau and suppress the cults and secret schools?"

Although he seemed to be asking a question to everyone, in fact, he was pointing out the serious consequences of not handling the issue, and the meaning was self-evident.

"This." Marshal Alfred opened his mouth, not knowing how to refute for a moment.

Elder Ivan's expression also looked a little unhappy.

After all, if that was really the case, despite his turnaround, Ryan would not face any substantial punishment, but his current status as a candidate for the Guardian of the Empire would be in vain.

"The Imperial Senate?"

"Could it be that you came here for me?" Ryan frowned slightly.

He had a vague feeling that the person who came was not well-intentioned.

At this time, the wizards of the Isolde School gradually walked out of the protective magic circle. The two old wizards in the lead observed for a while and found that Ryan did not seem to have any intention of continuing to take action, so they dared to walk towards Ryan together.

The old man with a mustache and the old man with gray hair bowed to Ryan and said, "Your Majesty Ryan, it is a shame that such a thing happened in the Isolde School this time."

"But most of the young wizards in the school don't know what the sect leader Stuttgart and the deputy sect leader Malcolm did. I hope His Majesty Ryan can forgive these young people."

The two of them took the initiative to respectfully address Ryan as "Your Majesty". It was not entirely a compliment, but came from their true sincerity. After all, Ryan was a late-stage Dawn Wizard. Even if Ryan was not yet a Guardian of the Empire, he was already better than a Guardian.

Ryan nodded and said, "I saw your performance just now. It can be seen that most of the wizards in the school are unaware of what Stuttgart has done."

"Including the two of you who didn't take action just now. It seems that even you have been kept in the dark."

Ryan said as he looked around.

He discovered that in addition to the two old men in front of him who were crystallization-level wizards, there were six or seven crystallization-level wizards, more than thirty liquidation-level wizards, and more than one hundred mist-level wizards around them.

No matter where it is placed, it is a huge force, which shows the strength and foundation of a large wizard school.

"To be honest, ever since Stuttgart was promoted to Dawn Wizard, we have rarely been able to interfere in the affairs of the school. Otherwise, we would have discovered some clues earlier." said the white-haired old wizard.

"What's the point of saying all this? I'm afraid the Isolde School will be removed from the list of major wizard schools this time." The old wizard with a mustache looked around and sighed.

"This is inevitable. Dynasties change, and wizard schools naturally rise and fall. However, Your Majesty, I'm afraid that our Isoldre School is no longer capable of stationing on the Cyrodiil Plateau."

"Please tell the higher-ups in the empire. Of course, we will also take the initiative to apply to the empire."

Ryan did not answer the old wizard's words directly. Instead, he thought for a while and asked:

"By the way, I heard that you were collecting ores before? Logically speaking, since you specialize in earth-based witchcraft, you shouldn't need so many rare ores."

"Your Majesty, it is like this. Several years ago, a swarm of alien spiders began to spread across the Cyrodiil Plateau. It is not easy to deal with this swarm of spiders. Even our school has suffered considerable casualties."

"We have a lot of drawings of constructed objects hidden in our library, so we want to try to use puppets to deal with the alien spider swarm. After trying, we found that the effects of rock puppets and clay puppets are not as good as metal puppets."

"That's it." Renn nodded.

At the same time, a more mature plan gradually came into his mind.

He just took a look around and found that the wizards of the Isoldere School had a relatively high sense of identity with their own school. Even after this incident, it would be unlikely to directly integrate them into the Bixiu Construction School.

Moreover, this kind of thing cannot be forced. Not to mention whether it can be done, even if it is done, if the other party is not sincere in joining, it will cause various conflicts and disputes with the wizards of the Harabishu Construction School.

This was exactly the opposite of what he had thought before.

Now it seems that we can first establish a construction association similar to an alliance, and slowly and subtly carry out the process of winning over and dividing them. When the time is ripe, everything will naturally fall into place.

"I think there is no need for the Isolde School to relocate. I have always planned to establish a mechanical and construct creation association to share construction knowledge and jointly defend. At present, there is already a Bixiu Construction School." Ryan said.

"If you agree to join, under the agreement of mutual defense, I think the threat from the Tutkarsh School or any other threat should not be a problem. I will come to the Cyrodiil Plateau from time to time."

When the two old wizards heard the first half of the sentence, as "living fossils", they immediately understood Ryan's purpose. This is not an association, but a joint defense organization. Some small and medium-sized wizard schools often like to do this.

In addition, there are no Dawn Wizards in the current Isolde School. If they join, the dominant power will definitely fall into Ryan's hands.

But Ryan's last words made the two old wizards' eyes light up.

Although they could relocate their base, the school would have many enemies after this incident. After all, as a large wizard school, there were many interests and conflicts. With the school's strength greatly reduced, it was unlikely that others would not step on it. However, His Majesty Ryan's proposal was equivalent to giving them a safe haven.

In addition, the Isoldre School has been stationed in the Cyrodiil Plateau for a thousand years, which is considered their homeland. Naturally, most wizards of the school do not want to leave.

"Great!"

"Joint defense? Shared construct knowledge?"

Before the two old wizards could agree, the wizards from the Isolde School nearby had already started discussing it with surprise.

The two old wizards looked at each other, then bowed to Ryan and said respectfully, "This is naturally a great thing. On behalf of the Isolde School, we are willing to join the Construction Association led by Lord Ryan."

"Yeah, very good." Ryan nodded and smiled.

In fact, he also had another purpose, which was to offset the numerical advantage of the evil god Neyobrekan's alien spider swarms by constructing creatures.

For this, the number of wizards from the Bixiu Construction School is far from enough. But if the wizards from the Isoldere School are added, and each person is equipped with several constructed creatures to conduct a sweeping search, these alien spiders that are good at building nests underground should be wiped out quickly.

In addition, through this method, we should be able to gradually find out the specific location of the secret school - Tutkash, and completely eliminate the other party.

I hope the other party can give him some more surprises by then.

At this time, the giant airship in the sky had approached and began to slowly descend.

Several high-ranking officials of the empire walked down the gangway one after another. Leading the way was Elder Ivan, whom Ryan had met once, followed by Pantoskirk, Marshal Alfred, and another marshal whom Ryan did not recognize.

Seeing this scene, the wizards of the Isoldere School were frightened. They thought that this person was here to cause trouble for them.

However, they then discovered that things seemed different from what they had expected.

Before Elder Ivan could speak, Pantoskok looked around at the site that seemed to have been bombarded by a meteorite, as well as the hill of Goron giant corpses, and said excitedly:

"Sir Ryan, you've gone too far. Putting right and wrong aside, have you ever considered that a battle with Stuttgart would lead to the destruction of the city of Nilheim?"

"By the way, what about Stuttgart?" Pantoskok suddenly thought of a question, looked around and asked.

"This should be the Stuttgart you mentioned." Ryan pointed to the charred body on the ground not far away.

"What! Ryan, you actually killed him!" Pantoskik was surprised and happy.

What was surprising was that Ryan's strength was so strong.

You know, even if he might be slightly stronger than Stuttgart, this is the opponent's base camp. It would be extremely difficult for him to defeat Stuttgart at the Isolde School.

The good news is that Ryan acted so recklessly that the other party's status as a candidate for the Imperial Guardian will definitely be revoked this time.

There is no hope of resolving this issue even if Elder Ivan or even His Highness Menia stepped in.

Before Ryan could answer, Meyer Ryan, who was wearing the uniform of the Imperial Army Marshal, said loudly:
"Mr. Ryan, what you are doing is really disregarding the laws of the empire!"

"Do you know that Stuttgart has been stationed on the Cyrodiil Plateau for a long time for the safety of the empire's borders? He has made great contributions. You actually killed him like this. It's really..."

However, Marshal Meyer discovered that as he opened his mouth, the wizards of the Isolde School around him seemed to look at him with strange eyes.

He had seen this kind of look before; it was the look a normal person gives a psychopath.

Therefore, Marshal Meyer also realized that something was wrong, and his voice gradually became softer. Finally, he stopped completely and looked around in confusion.

"Hey, Your Excellency the Marshal." The white-haired old wizard walked up and said.

Then, he looked at Ryan's expression again, and after making sure that Ryan didn't mind him helping to answer, he continued:

"Our leader Stuttgart colluded with the Tutkarsh School and endangered the security of the empire, but His Majesty Ryan stopped their plot. In addition, Stuttgart was not killed by His Majesty Ryan, but died at the hands of Graham's dagger."

Whether it was Elder Ivan, Marshal Alfred, Pantoskok or Meyer, they were all stunned after hearing these words!
"What! How is this possible!" Marshal Meyer said in shock.

"According to you, Ryan is not only innocent, but also meritorious?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Pantoskirk's face turned pale and he shook his head repeatedly.

Faced with the questioning of an imperial guardian, the two old wizards of the Isoldere School looked at each other, unable to figure out what was going on for a moment, so they both looked at Ryan.

Ryan waved his hand, signaling the two to ignore it.

But this made Pantoskok believe in his judgment even more. Ryan killed Stuttgart by force of strength, and then made the remaining wizards of the Isoldere School submit to him.

After all, he had done this kind of thing before, so naturally, Pantoskok thought about the problem from this perspective.

"I believe Lord Ryan is not a bloodthirsty person. Moreover, if we investigate whether it is as Lord Ryan and the two wizards of the Isolde School said, we will soon find out." Marshal Alfred said in a deep voice.

"This arrangement is very appropriate." At this time, Elder Ivan also nodded and agreed.

Ryan naturally did not object to this, but simply said to Pantoskirk and Meyer: "I hope you two will not just say it's impossible. In addition, I advise you two that even if it is slander, there must be evidence, not just words."

"You" Pantoskok looked grim.

Soon, the elite soldiers quickly checked the entire site. Not long after, a team of soldiers came over with spider corpses of different sizes and said, "Reporting to the lords, these are the corpses of alien spiders found in the holes on the ground."

"This is not a native species of the Cyrodiil Plateau. It is consistent with the previous intelligence report. This is a spider secretly raised by the Tutkarsh School."

"In other words, people from the Tutkash School invaded here?" Marshal Alfred said.

"I also felt the breath of the evil god." As he stepped into the core area of ​​the battle, Elder Ivan said with a serious expression.

As more and more evidence showed that Stuttgart had colluded with the Tutkash School, there was basically no dispute. In other words, Ryan was not only innocent this time, but had done something meritorious. This made Pantoskirk and Marshal Meyer's faces as black as the bottom of a pot!
At this moment, the two of them stood aside in silence.

"It seems that Lord Ryan has successfully prevented the Tutkarsh School's conspiracy against the Imperial Cyrodiil Plateau and protected the safety of Nilheim."

"At the same time, we also killed Stuttgart who was controlled by the evil god, and another incarnation of the evil god." Marshal Alfred said with a smile.

"Elder Ivan, I think Lord Ryan's strength and achievements are enough to serve as the guardian of the empire. I suggest that the Senate exempt Lord Ryan from the probation period." Marshal Alfred looked at Elder Ivan and said.

"and many more!"

"Even if it is true that Lord Ryan thwarted the Tutkash School's conspiracy, I think there are objections to the killing of two incarnations of the evil god." Pantoskok said in a deep voice.

He hadn't seen Ryan for a long time, and his understanding of Ryan's combat power was still based on the impression that he had just entered the Dawn Wizard.

Of course, the most important thing is that the aura revealed by Ryan at this moment is too confusing.

Ryan, who was poisoned by Donok, showed a mental fluctuation of only mid-dawn. Although it was surprising enough, it was far from enough to scare Pentoskirk.

On the contrary, Pantoskok became more and more wary of the speed at which Ryan's strength was improving!
