Chapter 56: The Twin Stars
After Ryan officially accepted the two sisters Natasha and Nataya as students, these two twin girls had the power to follow Ryan all day long like Barbara, and could ask Ryan for advice at any time, but this envied the apprentices who were with them.
In three days, the representatives of Franner and Mochizuki City completed the entire cooperation plan, which was actually a plan to reintegrate Mochizuki City into the imperial capital system. At Ryan's suggestion, this cooperation plan ensured the independence of Mochizuki Castle and prevented it from becoming a vassal of the imperial capital, but it increased the exchanges between the two sides in trade, magic, and other aspects, so that Mochizuki Castle and the imperial capital formed a close community of interests, making it difficult for Mochizuki Castle to become independent from the imperial capital.
Such a result is naturally what Mochizuki City hopes for the most, and for the imperial capital, a Mochizuki City that is not as powerful as itself and whose status is between allies and subordinates is also in the interests of the imperial capital, just like Cassano and Paradise of Freedom. After all, it is impossible for the power of the imperial capital to completely suppress the entire continent now, and even if Mochizuki City is forcibly turned into an administrative district of the imperial capital this time, it is impossible to have enough force to maintain its existence, but it will instead bury hidden dangers in the future.
According to the content of this agreement, Mochizuki City is obliged to send troops and magicians to help the imperial capital fight, and they also have the right to share the spoils of the final victory, so that the foundation of the new alliance is established.
Of course, these are not enough, at least Ryan is not satisfied. The number of all high-level mages in the Imperial Capital, Mochizuki City, and Cassano combined did not exceed 80, and counting the mages specially trained to serve the royal family, there were less than a hundred. That's a lot to do, but it's a shabby number when it was compared to 200 years ago when the empire was first founded.
The role of high-level mages in warfare has been proven to be vivid in Ryan, so it has become a top priority to vigorously improve the strength of mages and increase the number of high-level mages. In Lane's opinion, those high-level mages who have become famous have already had their own style, and it is impossible to change them in the short term, and the best way at present is to start training from low-level mages or even magic apprentices, so he will easily accept those excellent magic apprentices sent by Clifford, not only that, if the imperial capital is willing, Ryan also hopes to accept apprentices, including the imperial capital, in order to improve the overall magic level of mankind in the shortest possible time.
Ryan's diary records in detail the entire process from the beginning of his study of magic to the official entry into the legendary realm, in the diary, Ryan did not let go of any detail, whether it is mentality, perception or gains and losses, it is recorded without any embellishment. This diary records Ryan's growth experience, and the importance of cultivating high-level mages and even legendary mages is self-evident, if it spreads, I am afraid that it will immediately cause a bloody storm, fortunately, so far, only a few people such as Ryan know.
Ryan knew the importance of this diary, so his plan was also secret, and he would first carry out secret cultivation in a small area, and the target of his cultivation was naturally Vivian, Adela and other women who were close to him, as well as real students like Barbara.
The addition of Natasha and Nataya, also made the legendary mage cultivation program have two more participants, after a few days of getting along, Ryan basically mastered the information of the twin sisters, and slowly improved the entire cultivation plan in his heart, he will let the twin sisters communicate spiritually, so that they become each other's "mirror shadow clones" In this way, even if the two sisters Natasha and Nataya are far from reaching the realm of legendary mages, they can barely use the legendary mage created by Ryan, and when the two sisters use this technique to join forces to fight in a combination of spells, I believe that the power is more than as simple as doubling the power.
Ryan is not a twin, and of course has no experience in this kind of psychic communication, but he can use magic to solve this problem, which is inspired by the psychic pact between Blair and Lily, and it is customary for Ryan to make a magical item for the two sisters, like the dagger he once gave Barbara and was named "Snake Kiss".
The accumulation of thousands of years in Mochizuki City is not trivial, and with the elf queen Freya by his side, Ryan may not be able to get rare materials that only exist in legends such as dragon bones, angel tears, and demon hearts, but he still spent most of the day picking out what he wants, which is not to say that Ryan's requirements are too high, but he must find a set of exactly the same materials, otherwise the final product will be flawed.
Killing a demon, although this is an extremely difficult thing, there is naturally a high chance of obtaining its heart completely, but it is extremely difficult to want two demon hearts that are exactly the same in terms of shape, size, weight and even the energy contained inside, even if there are 1,000 demon hearts in front of you, you may not be able to find a match that meets the requirements, which is the real reason why Ryan is working hard.
In the end, Ryan still had all the materials, and in addition to a large amount of Mithril, there were only two round star diamonds. Clifford tried his best to recommend better materials to Ryan: a forest emerald the size of a baby's fist, an ancient dragon's tooth... These materials are not only rare, but they are also full of powerful mana, I believe that with Lane's level of production, it can definitely make a hand-me-down boutique, even if it is made into a semi-artifact, it is not impossible, but it was rejected by Lane with a smile.
Seeing Ryan's resolute rejection of the materials he recommended, Clifford could only feel sorry for the two sisters, Natasha and Nataya, it was rare for a legendary mage to be willing to tailor magic items for the two of them, but unfortunately the materials were really average, and I was afraid that it would affect the final finished product.
Before making this magic item, Ryan took the time to go to the military camp outside the city, and after the situation was decided, Cassano's army was also ready to evacuate, and Ryan saw them off this time. Although they suffered a lot of losses in the Battle of Mochizuki City, they conquered a thousand-year-old city with a population of one million with just over 10,000 people, and it is also the most famous magical capital in human history.
Although Adela wanted to stay with Ryan, it was a pity that the entire army had to have a commander, and only she could do it at the moment, so Adela could only leave with the army in displeasure. Of course, the dwarven king and his entourage naturally had to follow Ryan's side, so Ryan had a new group of residents next to the residence of the Magic Guild in Mochizuki City.
When he learned that Ryan was going to make a magic item for his students, the dwarf king Reynolds couldn't help but itch his hands to join the ranks of production, as for Freya, he was naturally among them, after all, Ryan's production skills were quite good, but unfortunately he was not at all good at art, and with Freya, the queen of the elven race, he naturally no longer worried about the poor taste of the final product.
When Ryan said his idea, even Freya and Reynolds were taken aback by his whimsical idea, but then they were immersed in the greatest idea of all time, both of them were experts in this area, and naturally found a lot of problems for Ryan's design, and with the joint efforts of the three of them, the whole design plan finally tended to be perfect, and the production of this famous magic item in the continent officially began.
In the whole production, there are two things that are most demanding, one is the strong and subtle control, and the other is the slenderness of the Mithril filament. The former was naturally left to Ryan to deal with, while the latter happened to be the dwarf's strong point. At Reynolds' command, his guards stripped their armor and became skilled blacksmiths once again, and they quickly transformed an anvil from the magic laboratory in Mochizuki City to suit their requirements, and then began forging day and night.
When the dwarf's results were brought to Ryan, Ryan was also surprised, he really couldn't imagine how such a slender Mithril thread was beaten by the dwarf with a sledgehammer, but of course this was not his focus, now that the materials were ready, Ryan's whole mind was on the production of the final product.
Under the guidance of Freya, the art director, Ryan began the process of weaving, using his great mental power to pull the mythril filaments made by the dwarven Reynolds, twisting the two mythril filaments into a strand and slowly twisting and weaving them into the rudiments of a headband.
Lucky enough to observe the whole process, in addition to Natasha, Sister Nataya, Barbara and others, there is only the Grand Magus Clifford, Barbara and they are still young, and they don't understand how difficult it is for Ryan to do now, but Clifford knows it clearly, he fully understands why Ryan spent a full 6 hours but still hasn't completed the whole work, because Ryan is using Mithril filaments to weave repeatedly, and has obviously used the magic array stacking technique that Master Victor is famous for. Of course, the fledgling Master Victor can superimpose a magic array of the space-time gate on a blank scroll, so Ryan, who is now a legendary mage, will naturally have no worse things in his hands than that.
