Chapter 340: News from the Frostwind Tundra (Double Chapter

Chapter 340: News from the Frostwind Tundra (Double Chapter

"Viscount, you truly are a rare sewing genius. If you were to become a tailor..." Ursula couldn't help but exclaim in awe at Ren's rocket-like learning speed.

But soon, Ursula realized her mistake, as the person before her was a noble, the Viscount, and not an apprentice in her tailor shop. Praising him as a sewing genius was quite inappropriate.

Ursula quickly corrected herself, "No, no, Viscount, I mean, no matter what skill it is, you pick it up very quickly."

Ren waved his hand dismissively.

"Ursula, I have a question now. How do you solve the issue of the pants not being stretchy enough?"

"A waistband made of bullhide could work, but the fabric... There doesn't seem to be a very stretchy fabric."

"Because if the body expands, it would tear the fabric."

"No, that's right," Ren shook his head naturally.

The correct content is in the book, read 69% of the book!

"Wow~ A one-time increase of 5%? No wonder it's so precious!"

"Thank you, has this news spread already?" Ren couldn't help but sigh.

"On the Frostwind Tundra, the Black Flame Cult is rampant. As a cult that worships flames and hunting, it has spread rapidly in the Frostwind Tundra, and many indigenous tribes have become followers of the Black Flame Cult.

After a few seconds, the letter slowly turned into ashes.

"Even more impressive was the phrase—'The production of Essence Crystals is several times that of before.' It not only reveals the strength of the Federation but also serves as a great temptation."

【Ding! Host's innovation in tailoring detected, triggering a class change to Seamstress!】

Soon, a set of bullhide was delivered.

Not only nobles but even wealthy merchants often hear such rumors and gossip.

Only after the body eliminates the impurities from the Essence Crystals can they be used again, and continuous use is not possible.

Initially, he thought the other party was a member of the resistance, but it turned out to be from the Federation.

Just as Ren was about to level up his tailoring skill to its maximum level, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

In the end, the mental attribute on the status panel showed: 62 (Vaporization 20%).

Jennifer, the beautiful woman beside them, was also startled by what she heard. Her beautiful eyes shimmered with curiosity as she looked back and forth between Ursula and Ren.

Moreover, this wave of energy seemed to subtly evoke a connection with psychic energy. Hamadi looked around, seemingly confirming that only he and Ren were in the living room, and then he smiled and said:

The tail is, of course, behind the buttocks.

At this moment, the knocking sound echoed again.

Although she had experienced such things before, she couldn't resist such teasing! Ursula, the face of this Seamstress Master, was now bright red.

"Oh, I see." Ursula nodded, although she still couldn't bring herself to believe it.

Generally, when Level 1 Wizards reach a vaporization degree of 90% or higher, they can choose to break through to Level 2 Liquidation Wizards.

Ren glanced at the system panel: Mental: 62 (Vaporization 11%)



This indicated that the degree of vaporization wasn't linear and would become more challenging in the later stages.

"Hmm, the barbarians on the Frostwind Tundra are mainly from two tribes. One is the Norton Tribe, the Nortons, and the other is the Rechy Tribe, the Rechys."

"Haha, this has a special use."

Ursula, standing beside him, was almost dumbfounded.

"Viscount, you... you're making a hole in your underwear. This..."

When the body expands, the underwear can compensate for the lack of elasticity by flattening out the pleats.

After all, as a Seamstress Master, she wasn't from the lower class, and she had never heard of a High Knight tearing their underwear during battle.

"If you're willing, I can assure you that you'll receive treatment and development prospects far beyond what you have in the Dragonguard Empire. And for your family, we can also arrange for a secret transfer to the Federation."

"Here are three Essence Crystals as a gift, Lady Treana."

"Lord Hamadi, it's been a while," Ren smiled, using the formal address he had in Myester, still being quite polite.

Seeing the expressions of the two mature women, Ren snapped back to his senses, realizing that his choice of words might have been ambiguous, but he couldn't reveal his dragon transformation.

"And the barbarians have been engaging in fierce battles with the Black Flame Cult."

As Ren finished speaking, the room fell into complete silence!

He planned to quickly change his class to Seamstress, as he was just one step away.

"This is from Envoy Treana, asking me to deliver it to Lord Ren."

The correct version is in Book 69, read it at Book Bar! 6=9+Book_Bar First Release.

Adding to his previously remaining points, the total remaining attribute points are now 7, remaining skill points are 6, and the remaining golden skill points are still 2.

Generally, potions or items that increase psychic energy are already very precious.

"Essence Crystals, what a great thing."

Upon seeing the words 'Essence Crystals' in the letter, Ren knew what these three hexagonal crystal prisms were.

Wait, it should be the other party's professional attributes that made her dear one more interested! The beautiful woman's eyes lit up.

"Do you want to add pleats?" Ren quickly understood Ursula's intention.

"Although I'm not sure which tribe you specifically asked me to focus on, Lord Ren, the intelligence reports indicate that both tribes are having a difficult time."

[Promotion requirements for Seamstress: 1. Apprentice Seamstress level 3 maxed; 2. Agility 5 points or above, Constitution 5 points or above; 3. Craft any qualified seamstress product ten times! Current conditions are not met! Promotion to Seamstress failed!]



No wonder when he was in Myester, he always felt that something was off about her.

This feeling was indescribably good.

"Okay, Lady Treana."

Ren's eyes lit up, and he immediately turned to the woman and said, "Jennifer, please prepare some bullhide right away, I want to try it."

Ren nodded and compared the information from Olana with Jennifer's, and it basically confirmed his suspicions.

"Please ask him to wait in the reception room, I'll be there soon." After some thought, Ren still decided to meet the visitor and listen to their intentions.

This was also why Ren did not refuse the gift; at this stage, the Essence Crystal would indeed be very helpful for his strength enhancement.

"Oh, Lord Ren, sorry, I wasn't finished. The current issue is that the north side of Frostwind Tundra is also unstable." Olana apologized.

Of course, the headquarters located in the imperial capital naturally had them, but they were also extremely precious.

She vaguely felt that the young and handsome Viscount Ren in front of her was not here to flirt, but was genuinely learning to make underwear.

"Envoy Treana?" Ren raised an eyebrow.

Beast hide?

Ren walked to the wooden box, picked up an Essence Crystal, and examined it.

Why couldn't it reach 100%?

"At least double, I suppose?" Ren thought for a moment and said.

"I see."

After the two left, it only took Ren half a day to raise his Apprentice Seamstress level from 1 to 3 (127/500), gaining two attribute points and two skill points.

"If it weren't for my extremely fast vaporization speed, I might have been tempted too."

Obviously, when the vaporization reached 90%, the amplification of spell power was already very impressive, increasing by about 50%.

Olana, a capable young woman, entered. With a smile, she said, "Lord Ren, I heard you slayed a dragon yesterday? Congratulations, you've become a Dragon Slayer."

"Regarding the barbarian tribe in Frostwind Tundra that you asked me to pay attention to, coincidentally, I have an acquaintance in the intelligence department at the imperial capital's headquarters. Three days ago, he told me about a plea for help that he learned of in the capital."

Inflation?! Will it tear?! Viscount, are you sure we should be discussing this?

"No wonder the Federation is developing so rapidly, their infiltration into the empire is quite powerful. Moreover, they spare no effort in attracting talents."

The content is as follows:

"No need, by the way, let's end today's seamstress training here. You've worked hard, Ursula."

Using this item is also very simple; just hold it in your hand and activate the meditation technique.

"Of course, this is dragon slaying! Not to mention that not only were the Swordbearers there, but also the griffin knights and the Brightshine guards. They're all helping to spread the word about you."

"Indeed, innovation is the primary productive force."

Ren then took out a letter from the wooden box. The red wax seal on the letter was intact, and Ren could also sense a faint magical fluctuation within the envelope.

Although 'Pleated Underwear' sounded a bit strange, it was still better than transforming and exposing yourself! Moreover, it also considered comfort.

Seeing the excellent results, Ren decided to use the other two Essence Crystals from the wooden box as well.

"Double? Hmm, if we're talking about elasticity, silk has the most elasticity among various fabrics."

She thought she had figured out the key.

Although he wasn't sure what this thing was.

Jennifer left the study to prepare the bullhide, but Ren didn't rest. He started working on the previous process, making a sample.

Hamadi, who was beside him, saw Ren suddenly stop and immediately understood what was going on. At the same time, he also admired Ren's caution and sharpness.

"Lord Ren, why don't you take a look at Envoy Treana's handwritten letter first?"

Ren was overjoyed! So, next, Ren continuously made ten pairs of pleated bullhide shorts, and the entire process became smooth and flowing, unlike the previous stumbling attempts.

Psychic Energy increased from 60 to 62, one point from before, and one point from the Advanced Meditation Technique's recent enhancement.

"Perhaps you're more concerned about the next piece of news."

"Oh?" Ren looked at Olana.

However, Ren didn't understand the visitor's intentions, so it was impossible for the visitor to accept this gift. He waved his hand and said, "This is too precious, I can't accept it."

I've never heard of anyone being able to tear underwear like that. Ren's bold words made Ursula, a woman with experience in that area, feel overwhelmed, and her fair face turned red.

In front of the long one, is that still a tail? Suddenly, Ursula froze, her eyes filled with bewilderment.

"Viscount Hamadi? Huh? Why is he visiting suddenly?" Ren looked puzzled.

Generally speaking, the Essence Crystals are good, but the wizards need to use them for a period of time. Once the impurities in their bodies reach a certain concentration, they must stop using them for a while.

"However, after some time, the Black Flame Cult has gathered many powerful individuals, causing the Barbarian Tribe to retreat continuously. That's why the Barbarian Tribe sought assistance from the Empire recently, but currently, the Empire hasn't dispatched a Guardian Lord to help."

It was too much for Jennifer to bear.

"If you have any questions, you can contact Hamadi."

At this moment, Ursula was truly struggling, especially since Jennifer had just gone out to prepare Bullhide.

Ren tested a few spells and felt the increase in power before refocusing his attention on the newly learned Seamstress skill.

After carefully checking the Essence Crystal once more to ensure there were no issues, Ren immediately decided to use one Essence Crystal to observe its effects.

"No, Lord Ren, with your current reputation, I should address you as 'Lord' from now on."

"Alright, Viscount Hamadi, I'll send you off."

"Have the promotion conditions been triggered as well?"

"Of course, if you don't have such intentions for now, we also hope you'll consider us when you do."

Piled beside them were seven pairs of Elastic Silk Drawers, the fruits of Ren's labor.

Instantly, Ren felt the silvery mist in his mind expand at a visible rate, quickly doubling in size compared to before.

"Viscount, approximately how much larger did it become? It's related to the choice of material." Ursula took a deep breath before daring to ask this question.

"Ursula, good idea."

Ren thought for a moment and nodded, "Alright."

[You have learned a new skill - Crafting Elastic Silk Drawers]



"Currently, the Barbarian Tribe's situation is dire!"

"Jennifer, send Ursula off. I'll practice making shorts for a few days and learn other skills later." Ren said to Jennifer.

Based on the increase in vaporization level, each point raises the spell power by 0.5 points. Ren's current spell power is approximately 10% higher than when he first changed jobs.

Don't underestimate this 10% increase; often, it's through these small steps that strength accumulates and eventually undergoes a qualitative change.

According to the system prompt, Ren should be able to absorb continuously.

The system prompt sounded again: [Your understanding of Elastic Silk Drawers crafting has increased!]



Ren nodded. Given the current situation, the Empire would likely do this.

But judging from the box and its contents, it seemed extremely valuable.

Ursula was astonished, thinking, "Viscount, you just praised yourself, but to avoid that 'ripping underwear' situation, you had to make a hole, right? Isn't that a bit exaggerated?"

The other party was around the same age, but their skin wasn't as good, and their features were more dignified, unlike Ren's style. Could it be that his beloved had taken a liking to them?

"Is the Empire not going to intervene?"

"Lord Ren, for confidentiality, the letter will be destroyed after reading."

Without hesitation, Ren immediately chose "Yes!"

"Viscount, do you need to learn to make clothes for other body parts?" Ursula couldn't help but ask.

The preciousness of the Essence Crystal had increased even more, as its function was to promote the speed of psychic energy vaporization and liquidation.

After a few minutes, as Ren activated the Advanced Steel Heart Meditation Technique, the Essence Crystal in his hand seemed to resonate, and a strand of energy was released, quickly merging into him.

Ren checked his attribute panel: Mental: 62 (Vaporization: 6)



Moreover, if he could eliminate the impurities, wouldn't it mean he could use it continuously?!"

"Viscount, there's a Viscount Hamadi from Myester County at the door, requesting an audience." The servant announced.

He had just tried it; such a thumb-sized Essence Crystal would take him about half an hour of meditation each day to absorb completely, and it would take him about half a month to finish.

"Well, some beast hides have good elasticity, but for underwear, comfort is still a consideration."

This was evident from the increase in the Essence Crystal; logically, each Essence Crystal should raise vaporization by 5%, so Ren's vaporization level should be 21%, but it's only 20%.

After all, such a preference is quite common among the upper class.

"Respected Lord Ren, your strength and talent are among the few I've seen in young people. The Falcon Federation would be honored to have you settle here."

"Lord Ren, I've delivered the Envoy's gift. I look forward to your contact, and I believe it's time for me to take my leave." Hamadi smiled and stood up.

The difficulty of psychic energy vaporization isn't linear; in other words, it gets harder as it progresses.

Ren thought for a moment, "Well, it's like this. My muscles expand when I use my strength, so I need more elastic underwear."

This made his stay in Myester County even shorter.

Hmm? Inside the wooden box were three six-sided prisms emitting energy fluctuations, and beneath them was a letter.

"By the way, Lady Olana, do you think the migration of the Barbarian tribes will make things safer?" Ren couldn't help but ask.

"Now, both Barbarian tribes are moving towards the more remote northern regions of the tundra."

For instance, a certain wealthy merchant enjoys seeking pleasure with maids, or some nobles have a particular interest in female teachers. There was also that Viscount she heard about, who was only 1.6 meters tall and preferred women over 1.8 meters tall.

The underwear's waistband is made of elastic materials like cow tendons, and even silk fabric can't meet the elasticity requirements, so pleats are added.

After Hamadi left, Ren paced back and forth in the room, pondering the purpose of his visit.

Since Ren had already started preparations beforehand, he quickly finished making the first pair of elastic silk drawers.

The vaporization level also increased by 1%.

Ren raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself.

"By the way, Lord Ren, I have news about those people from Sam's group." Olana handed a stack of papers to Ren.

"I believe your reputation will soon spread throughout the neighboring provinces." Olana covered her mouth and laughed softly.

Ursula observed the hole Ren dug again, thinking to herself, "I know it has a special purpose, but isn't this hole too big? Hmm, why is the direction at the back?" "Viscount, isn't the position of this hole reversed?" Ursula pointed out.

This is also too boastful.

For a moment, Jennifer thought of many things.

"Oh? Lady Olana, please elaborate." Ren raised an eyebrow.

"Hmm? Remove impurities?"

The psychic energy became purer, and with the same amount of psychic energy, he could mobilize more energy particles from the surroundings.

In the reception room.

"Can it be absorbed all at once?"

"Come in."

Ren nodded and opened the letter.

"I'm sorry to bother you, but I'm here on someone's behalf." Hamadi laughed and placed a dark brown wooden box on the table. With a 'click,' he opened the box and turned it towards Ren.

The system can absorb instantly, which is a good thing.

In other words, if Ren wants to exchange, he'll have to mobilize the Swordmaster Headquarters.

"It's unlikely to happen in a short time. The Empire will focus on domestic affairs, and it's possible they won't have time for the Frostwind Tundra."

Ursula saw Ren's furrowed brows and had an idea.

"Is there no solution? Are there no other materials?"

Hmm? Is my beloved's words too flirtatious?

"Hmm? Experience +5?"

At this moment, the system prompt sounded: 【Ding! Detected Essence Crystal that can enhance vaporization ability. Accelerate absorption? (Note: The system can remove impurities and absorb all at once.)】

"However, relying solely on silk's elasticity may still not meet your requirements." Ursula said in surprise.

"Huh? Oh, okay, Viscount." Hearing Ren and Ursula's conversation, Jennifer finally snapped out of her thoughts. She maintained proper titles for Ren in front of others.

Ren thought for a moment but decided against it.

Ren had previously inquired with Olana, but unfortunately, there were no Essence Crystal allocations in the division.

"Hmm? The Black Flame Cult again? Those lingering spirits." Ren narrowed his eyes and said.

Ren felt the vast psychic energy in his spiritual sea slowly increasing, with silver misty threads becoming more prominent.

"The mental value is no longer declining, indicating that the previous impurities have been mostly removed."

In an instant, he understood many things. Originally, Hamadi had always been a member of the Federation, possibly an insider or a recruited noble.

"Lord Ren, it's been a while." Hamadi said with a smile.

Ren couldn't help but shake his head, thinking to himself, "Good intentions gone wrong."

Ren had always felt that something was off about his former superior's superior, so he never had much interaction with him.

Ren looked at the three crystals in the wooden box, his face filled with surprise.

"In recent years, the Federation's development has been astonishing, far exceeding the imagination of many in the Dragonguard Empire. For instance, the production of essence crystals has increased several times over. We look forward to your early joining the Federation."

Moreover, leather breeches easily remind him of male dancers, a bit too flashy."By the way, if you don't mind the style, I have a suggestion. You can make pleated underwear to avoid tearing, similar to a pleated skirt."

【Your skill in making elastic silk drawers has improved. Experience +5】

"Hmm?" Ren raised an eyebrow and said.

"It's said that not long ago, a Primordial Dragon named Colossus awakened from the glaciers of the Far North. It's currently expanding its territory and gathering its followers. Several large Northern Bear Tribes have already pledged their allegiance."

"If these two Barbarian tribes continue their migration, they will surely be noticed by Colossus."

Olana's words instantly made Ren's expression change from calm to anxious.
