The wizard starts by trimming the donkey's hooves

However, Jenny and Agatha thought about it and decided to look for Ren.

After all, in this Hammer and Rose Chamber of Commerce, the word "hammer" stands for 'Hammer Baron' Lane, although nominally, the Crowley family is the largest shareholder.

But the two of them knew best that Renn was actually the largest shareholder, so whether the business development went smoothly or not, they should inform Renn.

So, the two women took advantage of the sunset to take a carriage and arrived at the entrance of the majestic Imperial Sword Bearer Munster Branch.

As soon as they arrived at the door, the two of them were startled by the busy scene. They saw more than a dozen luxury carriages lining up at the door in an orderly manner.

Whenever a carriage queues up near the gate, a man dressed like a butler will get out of the carriage, hand the invitation to the guard at the gate, say a few words, and then get on the carriage again and leave quickly.

Naturally, the next carriage picks up and the process repeats.

The two women looked at each other, and both saw surprise and confusion in each other's eyes.

Looking at it like this, it doesn’t look like the assessment has just ended?

After all, no one was picked up by the carriage.

A butler just came down, handed one or several invitations to the guards and left.

Moreover, Jenny took a look at the noble heraldry emblems on the row of carriages in front of her. They were all different, and they were obviously carriages belonging to different noble families.

This couldn't help but make her even more curious!

As the carriages drove away one by one, the carriages that Jenny and Agatha were in also moved forward slowly with the flow of carriages. Soon, the two women heard clearly what the steward who came down from the carriage in front said:

"Please give this invitation to Baron Wren from Meister, and this one to Miss Evelyn from Rosbyshire."

"Okay." The guard raised his eyebrows and nodded.

But he couldn't help but linger on the words 'Baron Wren' on the invitation for a while.

The guards were also surprised!

In previous years, when the sword wielder assessment was over, the adults who passed the assessment would naturally be favored by many nobles in the provincial capital.

But this situation rarely occurs.

Most of the invitations were focused on a certain adult.

This Lord Renn from Meist should have received at least thirty invitations in one afternoon, right?

He was a little confused, what on earth did this Lord Ren do?

He actually provoked so many nobles from the provincial capitals to compete to invite him.

The two women who vaguely heard the words 'Meister' and 'Ren' looked at each other in surprise and said almost in unison:

"Jane (Agatha), did you hear that?"

They both nodded at the same time!

As the steward of the next carriage stepped forward, the two heard more clearly.

This time the other party only left an invitation to the guard, and specified that Baron Wren was invited, not anyone else. In addition, the butler actually came from the Count Plank family.

The Earl family in the provincial capital should not be inferior to the Earl Habus of Meist, right? The two women couldn't help but sigh!

For a moment, Jenny and Agatha became even more confused and curious.

Why did Lord Renne have so many nobles vying to invite him as soon as he arrived in the provincial capital?

Even if he passed the sword wielder test, this doesn't make sense!

After all, he was not the only one who passed the assessment. On the way, they also heard that the probability of passing the assessment was about 30% to 40%.

Just when the two women were confused.

Ren and Veronica walked up the stairs along Leavenworth Street, the main road in the city.

The two gradually walked closer to the top of the mountain.

Two towering vaulted buildings appeared in front of them. According to the citizens on the side, one was the office of the consul and the other was the cathedral of the Church of the Goddess of Monsoon and Ocean.

Obviously, as the highest administrator of the entire province of Münster, it is natural that the Duke of Münster's office occupies the best location in the city.

Further up is the Griffon Platform. There are posts five steps and one post ten steps along the road, and they are heavily guarded.

Renne and Veronica were originally here to enjoy the scenery of Münster, so naturally they would not reveal their identities and go to these places.

The two of them stopped at the citizens' observation deck nearby, where they could overlook the entire plain and the view was excellent.

After finding a secluded corner, Veronica did not choose to sit on the bench, but playfully stepped forward and used a water flow spell to clean the suspended edge of the platform.

Ren smiled slightly, and instantly understood what Veronica meant. He also chanted a spell in a low voice, used the witchcraft's searing touch, and stretched out his hand to lightly scratch the newly washed ground.

In an instant, the washed floor is dry.

So, the two sat on the ground with their feet dangling outside the observation deck. Veronica leaned lightly on Ren. Neither of them spoke, but quietly watched the sunset slowly set over the endless plain. The meandering river stretches into the distance

Janey and Agatha, who were looking forward to seeing each other, finally waited for Ren and Veronica who came over after dark.

Jenny couldn't help but cursed, Lord Ren, we are all so impatient to wait, but you are still here to pick up girls.

Seeing the two women waiting under the street lamp, Ren couldn't help but look surprised and said, "Jenny, Agatha, is there something urgent?"

"There is something I want to discuss with Mr. Ren."

Seeing Ren's arrival, the guard at the door bowed slightly to Ren and said, "Lord Ren, many nobles have just sent you invitations. Please check them."

"OK, thanks."

However, Ren was still shocked when he saw the thick stack of invitations.

this.

Since the Sword Bearer Branch prohibited outsiders from entering, Ren thought for a moment and said, "Jenny, Agatha, let's go to the carriage to discuss it."

"Ren, I'll go back first." Veronica glanced at the two women and said with a smile.

"Okay, go to bed early."

"Um."

On the carriage.

"It's probably because I passed the sword wielder test faster." Renn didn't know how to explain to two girls who were not good at fighting that he knocked down the obsidian giant with one hammer.

After all, they had never seen the Obsidian Giant before, and they didn't understand its strength and couldn't compare it.

"By the way, Jenny, Agatha, maybe trade matters are not that difficult." Ren pointed to the carriage, where there were already half-meter-high invitations stacked up, and continued:

"These are the nobles who invited me to the banquet. You two should take a look and see if there is anyone you want to cooperate with. I should be able to introduce you to them."

Although the two women were still confused about Ren's explanation, after hearing the second half of the sentence, Ren was able to help introduce them, so they immediately picked up the invitations and started looking through them one by one.

"Agatha, isn't this the Viscount Ocott we are looking for? He is the one behind the Golden Chrysanthemum Chamber of Commerce." Jenny exclaimed.

"Yes, Jenny." Agatha looked sideways at the invitation in Jenny's hand, nodded firmly, and replied.

"Eh? Jenny, do you think this Count Owens is a supporter of the huge Nicolin Chamber of Commerce?"

After returning to the room, Renn remembered that he had not checked the system prompts for defeating the Obsidian Giant during the day:

[Your skill Tokkal Hammer has been improved, and the experience value is +981]

(Note: The above skills and experience have already enjoyed the 30% increase of the exclusive talent ‘Elementary Extraordinary Comprehension’.)

[You have experienced a battle, and the weapon master (legendary) experience value +338]

Looking at the above system prompts, Renn couldn't help but nodded.

Although it was just one blow, the experience value reward given by the system was not low.

After thinking about it, Renn realized that this was probably because it was the first time he used all his strength to perform the intermediate secret.

Even now, when he thinks of that feeling of swinging the hammer out, finishing it in one go, he feels his blood circulation speeding up and his whole body is a little excited.

Of course, if he hadn't possessed intermediate talent and mastered the intermediate mysteries, he would never have been able to unleash such a powerful blow!

Unfortunately, gold skill points are needed to upgrade intermediate mysteries, and increasingly rare talent points are needed to upgrade talents.

Withdrawing his thoughts, Renn recalled the situation during the first test during the day.

Among those who passed the assessment, peak knights accounted for the majority, with nearly twenty people.

As for others, there are cases where senior knights are also studying as second-level wizard apprentices, and there are also examinees who are purely third-level wizard apprentices, but the number is relatively small.

In addition, among the people who passed the examination, there were actually eight people with great knight strength. This made Renn couldn't help but sigh. Looking at the entire province, the number of geniuses had obviously increased.

Two people made a deep impression on him.

One is a strong man holding a sword and shield, named Angus, a high knight. He seems to be in his twenties. It is said that he has been serving in the imperial army before.

When the opponent faced the obsidian giant's stone attack, he was able to resist it with a shield, giving people a rock-solid feeling and strong strength.

Another young man, named Nereo, has a handsome demeanor. He seems to be the son of a Marquis of Munster. He has the strength of a third-level wizard apprentice. He only tore apart a witchcraft scroll 'Spider Web' and delayed the obsidian giant. The action will be passed easily.

According to others, this young man is a rare scroll master, so using a scroll is naturally not against the rules.

"In three days, after the formalities for the official sword holder are completed, I wonder if I can directly inquire about the exchange for metal witchcraft and what conditions are required?"

"The second thing is to wait for the dark horse to complete its mutation and be promoted to a ferocious beast, so that I can transfer to the master of beast taming. Calculating the time, it should be soon."

"Weapon Master (Legendary) is the core profession of my combat power. I can't let up on the improvement of various extraordinary combat skills. If Locken's ax and shield combat skills can be improved, I will have more ways to deal with the enemy."

Ren was lying on the bed with a thoughtful expression on his face.

Soon after, he fell into a deep sleep.

Early the next morning, Renne came to the training room where this building was located.

The Sword Bearer Branch naturally has an outdoor training ground, but it is only open to official personnel, so even if you want to go, you have to wait until the formalities are completed in two days.

As he approached, he didn't expect that several strong and dark-skinned young people were already training.

Ren was very impressed with these people. They all came from the army and were considered a small group. The core of the group was Angus, the strong man holding a sword and shield, who was a powerful knight.

Seeing Ren come in, several people immediately raised their heads and focused their attention on Ren.

There is no way not to focus!

After all, facing this young man who knocked down the Obsidian Giant with one hammer and being the first person in the first trial, it would be a lie to say that he didn't pay attention to him.

Renn didn't mind the other party's attention. He walked aside and planned to choose a training weapon, but for a moment, a flash of light flashed in his mind.

yes!

Aren't these young and energetic young people his best candidates for experience?

Immediately, Renn looked at each other!

However, what made Ren a little disappointed was that after he glanced over, several people lowered their heads and started whispering.

this.

He thought that the other party would look at him and then come up to challenge him.

In this case, I can choose an ‘experience NPC’.

such a pity!

Although he is a master of the imperial army, he does not seem to be reckless.

Just when Renn was still hesitating which combat skill to practice, a young man with a strong body came over and said:

"Your Excellency Renn, I am Vieri from Bobigny County. I admire Your Excellency Renn's amazing performance in the assessment. I don't know if I can have this honor. I would like to ask for your advice."

After hearing what the other party said, the smile on Renn's face gradually brightened!

Renn thought that based on the power of that hammer, the opponent would avoid him, but he didn't expect that someone would actually take the initiative to compete with him.

It seems that he still underestimated the passion and ambition of young people.

However, the only pity is that it is not Angus, the strongest sword and shield man among these people.

Renn immediately replied politely: "Of course, this is also my honor!"

Vieri didn't expect Renn to be so easy to talk to, and the nervous person immediately relaxed.

Several other people standing in the distance also gathered around with smiles at this time.

"Vieri, you have to work harder!"

"Your Excellency Renn, you have to be merciful, otherwise Vieri may not be able to block the blow." Several people said with a smile.

"Don't worry, I don't need a hammer today." Ren said with a smile while picking up the ax and shield on the weapon rack.

This made the young man named Vieri look puzzled and said:

"Sir Ren, aren't you good at using a two-handed war hammer? Why?"

"Idiot! Mr. Ren is afraid that you will get hurt." A young man on the side patted Vieri on the shoulder and said.

"Sir Vieri, I am actually quite familiar with axes and shields."

"Okay." Vieri obviously didn't believe it too much, but still nodded.

Renn can guess what the other person is thinking.

The opponent must think that he doesn't pay enough attention to him, so he actually fights him with a secondary weapon.

But there is no other way. He can't level up if he uses a pig-headed hammer to sparring with him. Tokkar's Hammer Technique is already at level 14.

Soon, the two stood in the center of the field, Renne holding an ax and shield, and Vieri holding a two-handed sword.

"Sir Ren, please give me some advice!"

The next second, I saw Vieri taking a quick step forward. The sword in his hand drew a semi-circular arc like lightning, and slashed hard towards Renn at a downward slashing angle of 45 degrees!

Faced with Vieri's blow, Renne secretly praised in his heart, his level is not bad!

Renn's reaction was not slow at all, and he immediately blocked with his shield.

"clang!!"

The harsh sound of gold and iron clashing sounded.

Renn steadily withstood the opponent's big sword slash this time.

With just one blow, Renn felt that the opponent was slightly inferior to him in terms of strength and agility, but he was very skilled in fighting with the big sword in his hand, and he had obviously reached a mastery level.

If Renn used the level 4 ax and shield combat skills to deal with it, Vieri would be an evenly matched opponent.

“Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-dang!”

The two fought faster and faster, and soon, the sound of weapons clashing could be heard.

"clang!!"

Neither Rennes nor Vieri turned on the 'Break Limit', nor did they use secret skills. They were just fighting in a regular way. After all, this was a friendly competition.

A few minutes later, Vieri was exhausted, and Rennes seized the opportunity and hit the ball with a shield, sending him flying several meters away.

"Sir Ren, thank you for your mercy."

Seeing that Vieri finally lost due to lack of physical strength, several young people on the side exchanged glances, and all of them thought that Rennes was deliberately letting off steam.

After all, the power of Ren's hammer at that time was too deeply impressed in their minds.

Renn glanced at the system prompt:

[Your skill Locken Ax and Shield combat skills have been improved, and your experience value is +431]

(Note: The above skills and experience have already enjoyed the 30% increase of the exclusive talent ‘Junior Extraordinary Comprehension’.)

[You have experienced a battle, and the weapon master (legendary) experience value +38]

Seeing that Locken's ax and shield combat skills had been upgraded to lv4 (453/1000), Ren's eyes immediately lit up!

This progress is almost half of level 4.

sure! This speed.

With the 30% increase in the exclusive talent ‘Elementary Extraordinary Comprehension’, the experience value of a master of Vieri’s level as a test subject is quite good.

And after seeing Vieri and Rennes fighting vigorously, the people next to them were all gearing up and eager to try.

Because in their opinion, this young Lord Ren is unexpectedly easy to get along with!

No arrogance!

There was no quick move to defeat Vieri, and he pointed the weapon at Vieri with a look of disdain!

Instead, he kept feeding Vieri tricks, allowing Vieri to fight heartily, and he was defeated only after he was exhausted.

I would like to ask, where can I find a top sparring partner with such an 'amiable' attitude?

Immediately, before Vieri was officially dismissed, the sturdy young men spoke one after another:

"Your Excellency Renn, I just hope to have the opportunity to ask for advice."

"Chris, wait a minute, let me ask Mr. Ren for advice first."

"You two wait, let me."

"."

Seeing how many people came forward enthusiastically, hoping to discuss with him, Renn immediately felt happy.

It’s really unintentional!

Don't worry!

Line up one by one.

I'll take turns with you all!

"Don't be anxious, everyone, come one by one, I think everyone will have a chance." Renn said with a smile.

After hearing what Ren said, everyone felt relieved and immediately selected one to come up to Ren for advice.

Ten minutes have passed. Let’s switch to the second one.

Half an hour later, the third

Well, this physical strength is very good and relatively durable, although it is still not as good as Ren's.

Forty-five minutes later, the fourth

After continuously fighting against four strong young men, even Ren's 29-point physical fitness felt a little tired.

but

At this time, the 'Locken Ax and Shield Combat Skill' was also successfully upgraded to lv5.

Suddenly, a stream of training memory fragments about ax and shield combat skills poured into Ren's mind.

These scattered fragments of memories of training in ax and shield combat skills flashed through Ren's mind and were quickly integrated into his muscle memory, as if he had devoted himself to practicing Locken's ax and shield combat skills for more than a year.

At this time, after seeing Renn competing with everyone, Angus on the side was so excited that he could no longer care about the master's reserve. He walked over and said angrily:

"Your Excellency Renn, do you need to take a rest?"

"Sir Ren, I actually admire you a lot."

Renn couldn't help but feel happy!

You are the one waiting for me!

As the remaining attribute points dropped from 13 to 12, Renn added one point to the physical attribute, restoring the physical constitution to 30 points again.

At the same time, the warm current from the heart pump instantly washed away Ren's fatigue!

Half an hour later, both Ren and Angus were sweating profusely, but their eyes were bright. Obviously, they had gained a lot from the competition just now.

At this time, the red-haired beauties Irina and Veronica also came to the training room together. At first glance, they saw the 'affectionate look' between Ren and Angus.

For a moment, the two women looked at each other with stunned expressions!

Renn had a very fulfilling life during these three days.

Basically, he spent the day in the training room, competing with everyone and quickly improving the level of Locken's ax and shield combat skills, and at night, he took Jenny and Agatha to attend the dinners of three different nobles.

Relying on Ren's matchmaking, all the goods sales tasks brought by the new chamber of commerce have been completed.

At the same time, the new chamber of commerce also signed long-term supply or cooperation agreements with shops or chambers of commerce controlled by these nobles.

In addition, Jenny also purchased a house and a shop in the name of the new chamber of commerce as a temporary residence for them and Matteo.

Although the store is not that prosperous in terms of location, it has already exceeded the set mission goal before she came.

In the eyes of the nobles from the provincial capital Munster, Janey and Agatha, two aristocratic ladies from the countryside, are the "white gloves" of Renn, a promising swordsman, so they are naturally respectful to them. .

This allowed the two women to quickly get involved with many noble heirs, and business matters gradually got on track.

Three days later.

Sword Bearers Munster Branch, Newcomers Hall.

A group of young people who passed this assessment gathered again, and standing in front of them was still the familiar middle-aged knight.

I just heard him smile and say: "First of all, congratulations to all of you for passing the selection of the Empire's sword wielders and becoming a glorious Imperial Black Iron-level sword wielder."

"In addition, Renn from Meist performed well in the preliminary test and was the only examiner to defeat the Obsidian Giant. Therefore, upon the decision of the Munster Branch of the Empire's Sword Bearers"

When he said this, the middle-aged knight paused for a moment, looked around, and then continued:

"Ren Kallan is exempted from the re-examination. He will be recommended as the swordsman captain and enjoy the treatment of a bronze-level swordsman."

The middle-aged knight looked at Ren in the crowd and was amazed in his heart. This has not happened in almost five or six years, right?

Admiral Edward's personal instructions.

This is the treatment of genius!

I passed the preliminary examination and re-examination with just one stroke, and my salary was also confirmed!

At first, everyone who had just passed the examination was silent at first, as if they were digesting what the middle-aged knight said, but then, like water being boiled, the whole scene suddenly boiled!

What?

Exempt from re-examination?

Become the captain directly?

Many people are so envious that their eyes are almost red!

Renn was slightly startled when he heard this. He didn't expect that he would actually be a recommended student.

After everyone whispered for a while, the middle-aged knight slowly shouted: "Quiet!"

"The sword holder's emblem that will be issued to you in a moment is yours alone. Please keep it carefully." The middle-aged knight pointed to the tray covered with black cloth held by the attendant on the side and continued.

"The emblem is not only your certificate as a sword holder, but also a pass to enter various departments of the sword holder. If you want to redeem special items later, you will also need the emblem for inquiry and exchange."
