The wizard starts by trimming the donkey's hooves

At this time, Neoro, who was standing on the city wall, heard the rhythmic footsteps behind him. He turned around and saw a city guard of several hundred people approaching quickly from behind.

Obviously, they also heard the noise outside the city, and they probably thought that some monster was attacking the city wall.

But a griffin knight in the sky quickly circled down from the sky after seeing Renn clearly in the heavy rain.

This griffin knight is Fisher.

Fisher, who only saw the gryphon, stepped forward quickly and apologized to Ren:

"Your Excellency Renn, do you still remember me? When you were in Meist, you fought against the cult's ancient hero Monger, and I was with Lord Viscount Felker at the time."

"I'm really sorry for mistaking you for..."

Ren thought about it for a while, his face suddenly revealed!

He had the impression that this Fisher was the young griffin knight who reported the news.

"Hello, Fisher, I remember you. The view was not good just now, and you are responsible, so don't take it to heart."

"Your Excellency Renn, thank you." Fisher bowed and said slightly excitedly.

Seeing this scene, Neolo and Angus looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

This griffon knight is a bit interesting.

Why do you look at your captain, it's like you're seeing an idol.

"By the way, Sir Ren, do you want to take my gryphon back to the city first?"

Renn, who had his family in mind, thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "Okay! Thank you. But wait a moment, I'll say hello to my companions."

"Well, of course."

When Neoro and Angus saw Renn, Renn naturally also discovered the two people on the city wall.

Soon, the three met under the city wall.

"Why are you here? Thank you for your hard work." Ren stepped forward and thanked with a smile.

"Captain, you are exaggerating! Your business is our business." Angus has always been in the army's style, and his speech is relatively straightforward.

"Tsk, tsk, this is the second-level liquefaction wizard. It is said to be a rare lava type?" Angus walked around Asimov in Ren's hand and marveled.

Although he did not see the battle between his captain Renn and his opponent, looking at the potholes, the messy ground, and the huge human-shaped rock kneeling on the ground, he knew how fierce the battle between the two had just been.

"Well, it was a very troublesome guy, but I finally killed him." Renn glanced at Asimov in his hand and said.

At this time, there was an eagle cry in the sky, and then, a blue and white raptor hovered down from the sky. However, on its talons, there was a sparkling red crystal, which was quite attractive. Attention.

When Ren took off the red crystal shaped like a heart from Xue Yu's claws, Neolo's eyes widened and he couldn't help exclaiming:

"Captain, this...is this the core of lava?"

"The core of lava? I don't know what this is, but it can enhance the strength of the opponent's summons, so it should be more precious." Renn looked at the hot red crystal in his hand and shook his head.

"That's it, this is the treasure that is occasionally produced in the bodies of legendary level flame or lava elemental creatures - the core of lava." Neoro said excitedly.

"Captain, can you let me take a look?"

"Of course." Ren handed it to Neoro casually.

I saw Neolo observing carefully and said: "Captain, this is the core of lava. You just said that the other party used this to strengthen it."

Suddenly thinking of something, Neoro looked at the solidified stone statue kneeling on the ground with a horrified expression.

Um?

Angus on the side saw Neolo's shocked expression and was a little confused.

"Doesn't that mean that the opponent's lava monster has reached almost legendary power!" Neoro murmured to himself.

legend?

Angus's eyes widened and he was also shocked.

Has your captain's strength reached this level?

"By the way, how's it going at the mansion?" Ren asked.

"Captain, Vieri and Evelin are all guarding the mansion, there should be no problem with safety." Neoro said.

"Well, I'll take the gryphon and go first. Please tell the city guards about the situation here." Renn nodded.

When Ren returned to the mansion again, the mansion was already full of people.

The outermost circle is a circle of elite night watchmen who are on guard, and a little further inside are the guards of the sword-bearing branch who came after hearing the news.

The innermost ones were the Sheriff of the Munster Administrative Region, a captain of the sword-wielding guards, and a patriarch from the Goddess Church, whom Renn did not recognize.

Obviously, the recent assassination of Archbishop Gomes has made the top officials of the Münster Province and the church take the attack that just happened very seriously.

When Ren's family saw Ren's return, they also walked out under the protection of Vieri and Evelin, but the panic in their eyes could not be concealed.

Especially Ren's mother Emma and father Ren Sr., this was the first time they saw their sons fighting up close.

The inhuman speed and strength, the powerful destructive power, and the magical witchcraft all shocked the two of them.

The familiar courtyard was now in a mess. The ground was in the rain, with rising steam and scorching heat.

This made it difficult for the second elder to hide his worry for his son.

As for the beautiful woman Jennifer, it was actually the first time she saw Renn fighting an evenly matched opponent after becoming a great knight.

Although when Ren served as the guardian knight of the Crowley family, he also taught two knights of his own family a lesson, but in comparison, it was like a child's play playing house.

Looking at the scene in front of her, the beautiful woman became more and more convinced that she had chosen Ren as her support.

I even felt extremely lucky.

Because judging from Ren's current strength, it has far exceeded her imagination.

Jennifer can't imagine how far Ren can go in the future!

In addition, at Ren's current level of strength, it would be impossible for her to interact with Ren again.

In the current turbulent situation in the empire, strength is the best guarantee!

It is really a blessing for her to have such a powerful person who is still making rapid progress to rely on.

The same thought also lingered in the minds of Jenny and Agatha.

On the other hand, her sister Mint has always been extremely confident in her brother, but the scene in the yard at this moment also surprised her!

At this moment, she was looking around with blinking eyes.

After Lei comforted his family, he asked Evelin and Vieri to let the family rest first.

And he simply told everyone about the situation.

Olena, who was on duty at the Sword Bearer Branch that night, also hurriedly arrived after learning about the situation here.

She is quite familiar with the whole thing.

Because Ren approached Olena from the beginning and wanted her help in contacting the intelligence department, so her first words after seeing Ren was fine were:

"Your Excellency Renn, let the branch handle the follow-up matters."

"I think no matter who is behind the attack, this is already a provocation to our Munster Sword Bearers Division. I will report this matter to Admiral Edward immediately."

Although Olena did not name who carried out the attack.

But, everyone who understands understands!

Renn smiled at the capable young woman and said, "Your Excellency Olena, I will trouble you about the next thing."

"Sir Ren, these two people should be imprisoned in the special cells of the Sword Bearer Branch. I'm worried that the security department's cells may still have insufficient defensive capabilities."

Olena pointed at the 'Iron Man' and 'Scorpion Woman' and said.

"Yes, if he can be treated, he can be treated as a witness." Renn nodded.

"This guy can't be saved, but it can still be regarded as evidence." Renn pointed at Asimov who was killed by him and said.

"Uh, okay, Sir Ren." Olena looked at Asimov's body, nodded, and said.

For the first time, she knew that witnesses and evidence were distinguished in this way.

The Sheriff on the side muttered twice, then looked at Olena and Renne, but didn't say anything after all.

"By the way, where did this guy's right arm go?"

When Vieri heard Ren's question, he was stunned for a moment, then immediately turned around and walked towards the room.

"Captain, is this what you're talking about?"

I saw Vieri take out a set of metal prostheses that were broken into several pieces from the room, and the parts inside were almost scattered.

"Well, let someone send it to me later."

"Okay, Captain."

Just now, Ren suddenly thought of this guy nicknamed "Iron Man", whose metal prosthetic limbs were extremely delicate in structure, which made him feel a little bit enlightened.

He planned to go back and study it carefully.

When Ren returned to the Sword Bearer Branch again, it was already midnight. After taking a shower, he fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Renn woke up early, poured a cup of coffee, came to the study, and began to slowly think about the battle last night.

Last night, he killed three official members of the Bloodcrest Mercenary Group one after another. The intensity of the battle was not small.

If it were any other first-level wizard, or a peak knight.

After Asimov, the leader of the opposing Bloodscalp mercenary group, summoned the lava monster and used the lava core to strengthen the lava monster into a lava giant, the outcome was doomed and it was almost impossible to come back.

Only someone with a hang-up like him can persevere and turn defeat into victory.

Thinking of this, Ren picked up the red spar that was about the size of a baby's head and shaped like a heart in the wooden box on his desk, and looked at it carefully. Under the light of the morning sun, there was a flowing liquid like magma flowing inside.

Of course, Renne could feel the surging energy surging inside.

"However, it seems that a lot of energy has been consumed, almost half."

"Perhaps later, I can go to the exchange hall and find someone to identify it. I will first understand the exact purpose of this thing and whether the energy inside can be replenished." Renn thought to himself.

After thinking for a while, Ren put the red crystal back into the wooden box again.

In terms of strength, among the three opponents, Asimov, the leader, was naturally the strongest, and at the same time, he also left the deepest impression on Renn.

The opponent's innate ability 'Frenzy', which comes from the Bloodscalp Troll bloodline, is a perfect match for the wizard.

After all, for wizards of all levels, as long as they are not gifted with witchcraft, it will take a certain amount of time to perform magic.

The less skilled you are, the longer it takes to perform.

But once you have the talent of 'Frenzy', you can increase the speed of chanting spells by nearly 30%!

With the addition of this special ability, certain witchcraft that were originally not suitable for release in battle will also undergo qualitative changes.

For example, some summoning witchcraft that originally took seven or eight seconds to perform can be compressed to four or five seconds. If you are skilled enough, you can even complete it in a shorter time.

Greatly enhances one's own combat effectiveness!

At this point, Asimov gave Lane some inspiration.

The opponent's talent, 'Frenzy', comes from a certain bloodline transplant experiment. Although it is said to be very risky, he can learn about it in advance, which does not mean he must do it.

What's more, he can actually add points through the system to achieve the purpose of over-speeding the release of certain witchcraft. For example, this is how the current 'metal barrier' operates.

Of course, Asimov's biggest inspiration to Renn is that if the talent and profession are very consistent, the combat effectiveness will be amazing!

And his talents 'Advanced Steel Body' and 'Basic Weapon Proficiency' seem to be extremely suitable for close combat.

In addition, the second most impressive thing is Tetsuo's metal prosthetic limb.

Renn walked to the desk and looked at the several broken metal prostheses placed on the table. Of course, these were already the back of the forearm.

The palm at the front had long been crushed into powder by the powerful destructive power of the Annihilation Hammer.

Ren picked up a stump and looked at it carefully.

The remaining gear structures and metal parts inside all showed extremely high precision. Compared with the mechanical devices he saw in his previous life, the precision seemed to be no less.

However, Ren could vaguely see traces of manual polishing.

"Hand-made, can it achieve this kind of precision?"

"Is it possible that the Eagle Federation has a bunch of level eight fitters?"

"This is kind of awesome."

Seeing this, Ren's mind moved slightly.

"Then can I rely on my innate witchcraft 'Metal Transformation' to quickly transform such precise parts?"

As Renn thought, a small piece of hardened fine gold in his hand began to rapidly transform into a gear, but after comparing the two, Renn discovered it.

Although the gears that I quickly deformed looked similar, the precision was much different.

Tested several times.

Ren estimated that the upper limit of the accuracy of his innate witchcraft is about millimeter level. If it is more precise, he may have to wait until he reaches the level of liquefied wizard.

But this is also an idea. It is far from the realm of rubbing war golems with hands, but it cannot be denied that metal wizards and puppet making represented by metal prosthetics have a natural fit.

In addition, there seems to be a separate energy source in the metal prosthesis, a white crystal that is much smaller than the red crystal just now, and it seems to have a driving effect similar to a battery.

Regarding this point, Ren planned to inquire about it later.

"Eagle Federation, there is something."

"As for that scorpion woman?"

Ren thought for a moment and immediately shook his head. It seemed that other than being enchanting, it didn't leave any impression on him.

At this time, Ren suddenly remembered that he had not checked the system prompt:

[Congratulations, you defeated a strong enemy and obtained 8 gold skill points! 】

[Congratulations, your will (hidden) attribute has been improved! 】

[Congratulations, your Warhammer Wizard (Legendary) career level has been improved! 】

I saw the Warhammer Wizard (Legendary) career level. This time, it was upgraded to level 8 (790/7000). Once again, I gained 1 skill point and 1 attribute point each.

Including his original remaining points, Renn's remaining attribute points are now 8 points, his remaining skill points are 1 point, and his gold skill points have reached 17 points.

Renn glanced at the attribute panel:

Constitution: 46

Strength: 48

Agility: 46

Spirit: 55

Will (hidden attribute): 4

"The will has increased by 1 point again?"

Ren nodded.

This time, he could clearly feel that after the willpower was improved, it should have a suppressive and weakening effect on the evil flame mark.

However, there is one more thing that Renn is not sure about.

He vaguely felt that it was because his will was always in conflict with the mark of the evil flame that his will attributes improved so quickly.

"If that's the case, maybe I don't have to passively wait for the Empire Guardian to help relieve it."

"Through fighting, I may be able to turn passivity into initiative, and turn unfavorable factors into favorable conditions."

In addition, Ren also thought of one thing, that is, after he put on the mithril carved plate armor, the power of witchcraft also increased slightly. According to records, it was about 10%.

Therefore, he wanted to know how much damage his innate witchcraft 'Metal Transformation' could cause to the enemy if he used it directly to attack?

When he had just been promoted to an official wizard, Ren had tested it. At that time, direct use could only cause fatal damage to ordinary people. Once faced with extraordinary beings, it would be beyond his power.

I don’t know how much change there will be when the two items are superimposed, including the greatly improved mental power and the equipment of mithril carved plate armor.

Renn came to the training room nearby.

After putting a set of steel armor on the ironwood dummy, Ren put one hand in the center of the chest armor and tried to transform it with a thought.

Sure enough, as expected.

Since ironwood has both toughness and hardness, after the steel knight's plate armor is slightly deformed, the subsequent deformation process is blocked.

Obviously, with Ryan's current strength, it is still difficult to directly damage the ironwood dummy wearing metal armor through metal deformation.

Of course, the ironwood is not unscathed.

After taking off the plate armor, the surface scratches and slight deformations of the ironwood dummy can be seen with the naked eye.

After repeated tests, Ryan suddenly pondered.

At present, the power of his metal deformation can almost cause fatal damage to senior knights and below.

When his palm is placed on the opponent's metal armor, with the use of his innate witchcraft, he can twist the opponent into a twist or an iron ball in a short time.

But when facing the peak knight, he begins to be powerless.

As for the great knight with force defense, it seems that there is still a lot of gap at present. Perhaps when he enters the liquefied wizard and his mental power increases, he can do it.

——

At the same time.

Münster branch of Axon Auction House.

Drake, who hadn't slept for almost the whole night, had red eyes and his hair was no longer neatly combed as before. It was now a mess like a chicken coop.

Not long after the battle last night, the people who went to investigate reported the situation continuously.

Not long after Ryan killed Asimov, Drake received a report from the on-site personnel.

At that time, he was shocked!

Because this was worse than the worst result Drake had expected before!

Moreover, he thought about it all night and still couldn't figure it out.

From the news that came one after another, it was confirmed that only Ryan was fighting with the Bloodtop Mercenary Group.

But the Bloodtop Mercenary Group was a group of three people headed by Asimov, a second-level liquefied wizard.

How could they lose this?

Or lose everything!

Drake always believed that even if Ryan's strength was hidden, it only meant that the difficulty of this task had increased, but it should be completed.

It might just make a little more noise during the battle.

Or the mission will be delayed and he will miss the last airship back to the imperial capital that was scheduled before.

But he didn't expect that the result he waited for would be such a result!

Terrible!

"Dong Dong Dong!"

"Who?" Drake replied unhappily.

"Lord Drake, Ms. Olena from the Sword Bearer Division is here to visit." Fabien's voice sounded outside the door, slightly hoarse.

Hearing Fabien's words, Drake's heart suddenly 'clicked'.

He immediately figured it out.

This is the Sword Bearer Munster Branch, which decided to intervene.

It seems that the news from the Sword Bearer Branch before was correct. This Ryan should be a diamond-star sword bearer, and in the eyes of the head of the Sword Bearer Branch, he should have a relatively important position.

Otherwise, the Sword Bearer Branch is unlikely to choose to have a direct dialogue with them.

Normally, when encountering such a thing, even if it intervenes, it will first find an agent to communicate.

In the living room, Olena and Drake sat facing each other.

"Is this Lord Drake from the Imperial Capital? Hello, I'm Olena."

"Hello, Ms. Olena."

"Lord Drake, I think you should know why I'm here this time."

"Please allow me to offend you, I'll get straight to the point. What is the attitude of the Orenz family towards this matter? Does your family want to settle it privately or publicly?"

Olenz spoke sharply after taking the initiative.

"This..." Drake looked hesitant.

He was still waiting for a reply from his brother, Marquis Orenz, in the Imperial Capital. Since the unexpected result came out last night, he sent the letter as soon as possible.

"If it's a private settlement, maybe we can talk about it."

"If it's a public settlement, then we will report the situation to the Imperial Senate in the name of the Sword Bearer Munster Branch. Of course, if that's the case, I can return now."

Hearing the report to the Imperial Senate, Drake's face turned pale.

Now there are both witnesses and evidence.

Although they can still deny some things, after all, it was the Bloodtop Mercenary Group that made the move, not them.

But the problem is that the relationship between the Orenz family and the Bloodtop Mercenary Group is obvious to anyone with a discerning eye.

Some things, when the power background of both sides is very different, have no substantive meaning.

But when the backgrounds of both sides are similar, these things become very meaningful.
