The wizard starts by trimming the donkey's hooves

After the housewarming dinner, Renn accompanied his family and walked around the front and backyard.

"Brother, what I like most is this big yard. Now, sister Anna and I can grow many vegetables and flowers." My sister Mint said happily.

Ren looked at his smiling sister and couldn't help but be touched by the joy in his heart. He said, "Well, then I'll leave this yard to you. I hope you can take care of it beautifully."

The parents on the side looked very relieved.

Renn, who had a clear view of all this, nodded slightly.

Perhaps, this scene before me is a definition of happiness.

Since Renn still had a few things to deal with, he didn't stay with him for too long, but quickly continued back to the utility room.

I saw Renn taking out the hundred pounds of violent bear meat that he had redeemed at the county military supply office.

At the dinner, he was not full, but drank a lot of wine.

Renn has also been greedy for violent bear meat for some time.

Before, Renn had always missed the delicious taste of violent bear meat for the first time in Claire's study.

Nowadays, Rennes' demand for food is increasing, and the requirements for quality are also getting higher and higher.

Ordinary food is of no use to improving his strength.

But the ferocious beast meat is different. It is rich in various nutrients, and it can still help to improve the breathing method of Ren's giant bear.

That's why Ren exchanged violent bear meat before, and planned to do the same in the future, gradually adding high-quality food to his three meals a day.

At this moment, Renn directly cut a large piece of violent bear meat, which weighed about three or four pounds, and placed it on the iron plate that had been prepared long ago.

Since the bear meat has already gone through bloodletting and cleaning, there is no need for additional cleaning.

For the violent bear meat, Renn did not use ordinary cooking methods.

Um!

After all, high-end ingredients often only require the simplest cooking methods.

This time, Renn chose to 'roast' the violent bear meat at high temperature before eating it directly.

Renn placed the palms of his hands about half a meter above the bear's flesh, silently recited a spell, and cast the witchcraft 'Scorching Touch'.

A few seconds later, an alluring aroma of meat filled the utility room.

As for why witchcraft is used in cooking?

This is because Lane took into account the principle of ovens in previous generations. The rapid and enclosed high temperature can lock the moisture and deliciousness of food inside the ingredients.

That's why Renn thought of using the high temperature of the witchcraft's searing touch' to roast the violent bear meat in just a few seconds, achieving an effect similar to the oven in his previous life, retaining moisture and deliciousness.

Looking at the fragrant medium-rare bear meat, Renn sprinkled some salt on it and started chewing it.

hiss!

Still so delicious!

After three strokes, five divisions and two divisions, Renn had eaten more than half of the three to four pounds of violent bear meat.

Soon, Renn felt a warm current spread from his stomach to his whole body.

Maybe it's because he has entered the transcendent realm and his physical functions have greatly improved.

Although this time, Renn ate much more bear meat than before, he didn't feel as strong as before. He only felt warm and comfortable all over his body.

At this time, the sound of claws scratching the door suddenly came from the door.

Ren knew that it must be the greyhound ‘Cookie’!

After all, except for it, everyone else in the house knocks on the door and doesn't know how to scratch it. Besides, who else has such a sensitive sense of smell.

As soon as Ren opened the door, Cookie, the greyhound, squeezed in.

I saw it quickly circling Ren, wagging its tail desperately, its eyes fixed on the little bit of roasted bear meat left in Ren's hand, with a longing expression on its face.

Renn couldn't help but shook his head and said helplessly:

"I'm really impressed with you. Don't tell me that you haven't eaten enough either!"

Having said that, Ren still tore off a small strip from the remaining roasted bear meat in his hand, then poured a few drops of 'mutated growth potion' on it, and then handed it over.

I saw 'Cookie' sniffing with his sensitive dog nose first, and then showing an extremely anthropomorphic expression of surprise.

With a slurp, he swallowed the violent bear meat.

The next second, 'Cookie''s dog eyes suddenly widened twice, and he looked at Ren in a daze, as if to say: "Master, there is such a delicious thing!"

"A dog can't live like this! This life is worth it!"

Seeing 'Cookie' licking his mouth, looking like he still had something to say, Ren said angrily:

"Okay, don't count on it anymore, this is enough for you to absorb."

With that said, Ren put the last bit of violent bear meat in his hand directly into his mouth.

It's not that he is stingy.

But 'Cookie' is currently just an ordinary greyhound, not a ferocious beast. If he eats too much of this high-quality food, he will not be able to digest it.

Sure enough, as if feeling the power of the violent bear meat, 'Cookie' soon curled up in a corner of the utility room and began to take a nap with squinted eyes.

But Ren noticed the system refresh prompt:

[You feed greyhounds with ferocious bear meat mixed with a secret drug called mutated growth potion, and your related understanding is slightly improved! 】

[Your skill of animal taming is improved, experience value +15]

[Your animal trainer (extraordinary) professional experience +11]

Huh!

Only then did Ren notice that on his green animal trainer panel, the original 'dog training' skill had automatically changed to 'animal training', and the 'dog food production' had also simultaneously changed to 'animal food production'.

It seems that the so-called coverage of the system does not mean complete elimination or full acceptance.

In addition, feeding with secret medicine or high-quality food will increase experience points faster.

This matter was also verified during the feeding just now.

After answering several questions on the Beast Tamer (Extraordinary) panel, Renn began to practice the Giant Bear Breathing Technique, trying to make the most of the special nutrients rich in the Bear's meat.

After finishing the breathing method training, Renn practiced basic meditation.

Because when he changed his job as a beast tamer, Renn once again received a 1-point improvement in his mental attributes, so he wanted to try how many will runes he could visualize at once.

One minute later.

Ren opened his eyes happily.

This time, he directly visualized and completed sixteen will runes at once, which can be regarded as entering the 'second-level wizard apprentice' in the popular sense.

In addition, Ren also confirmed one thing, that is, the 'lv' level displayed on the wizard apprentice (extraordinary) career panel has nothing to do with the 'first or second level wizard apprentice' in the popular sense.

It's not that he has reached wizard apprentice level 2, which is equivalent to a 'second-level wizard apprentice' in the popular sense of the world. What's more, his wizard apprentice level at this time is level 4, and there is no such thing as a fourth-level wizard apprentice in this world.

The highest wizard apprenticeship is level three.

Therefore, it can be understood that these are two completely unrelated systems.

Ren thought for a while. After he entered the second-level wizard apprenticeship, the biggest difference should be the difference in combat power.

Previously, he had just completed the visualization of the eight runes of will. When he entered the first-level wizard apprenticeship, his combat effectiveness was far inferior to that of a formal knight.

The only characteristic at that time was that compared to ordinary people, his mental power was much stronger and his perception was much sharper.

And if you want to exert a relatively strong combat effectiveness, you need to use foreign objects, such as Endri, the 'Acid Missile Scroll' used by the opponent in the Elim Mine.

However, as he entered the second-level wizard apprenticeship, his combat effectiveness has been significantly improved.

Although Ren does not have a scroll or any other magical item in his hand now, he can achieve a strong combat effectiveness simply by relying on the witchcraft 'Scorching Touch'.

As his low spell chanting sounded, the iron basin in front of Ren's palm quickly began to heat up. After a few seconds, the iron basin began to turn red, smoke, and soften.

This is a sign of impending meltdown!

You know, the melting point of iron is close to 1,500 degrees!

This also means that the power of the same witchcraft after he enters the second-level wizard apprenticeship is significantly stronger than before.

Previously, the witchcraft 'Scorching Touch' performed by Ren, after being used for a few seconds, the temperature it could reach was about one thousand degrees, but now, it can reach one thousand fourteen to five hundred degrees.

In addition, before, Ren only used the witchcraft 'Scorching Touch' two or three times, but now, he can basically use it about five or six times.

The improvement in combat effectiveness is obvious!

If, in a certain battle, he was given the opportunity to calmly use the witchcraft 'Scorching Touch', even the peak knight would be seriously injured or even killed directly!

After all, no living thing can withstand the continuous heat of 1,500 degrees, which can melt steel.

However, the enemy is not a wooden person and will not stand still for several seconds.

This is also the shortcoming of Renn's current witchcraft.

First of all, it is very powerful, but it is a contact type of witchcraft.

Secondly, continuous guidance is required to unleash maximum damage.

——

at the same time.

In a luxurious mansion in Meist County.

Dark underground hall.

The slender knight carrying a 'scythe'-shaped weapon was reporting in a low voice: "Master Priest, this mission to kill the newly promoted knight Ren has failed again!"

"In addition, according to Lamar, the Iron Maiden doll was also destroyed by Ren." When he said this, the slender knight was a little unable to explain.

After all, he himself didn’t quite believe Lamar and the reasons he reported, so how could the officiant believe it?

really

"Huh? How is this possible?" Hearing that the mission to kill Renn still failed, the chief priest could still accept it.

But after hearing the last sentence, when the Iron Maiden doll was destroyed by Ren, a surprised sound came from the shadows.

Surprise and confusion can be clearly heard in the voice!

"Well, Ren is not only good at swordsmanship, he is also good at hammer art. No, he should be proficient in hammer art!" The slender knight thought for a while and explained bravely.

After all, Lamar was present at the time, and he could only speak based on the other party's explanation!

Although he had been thinking about how to make his explanation more convincing before he came to report, he still couldn't seem to find any reasonable explanation.

"Proficient in the hammer technique? A new knight can use a hammer to break the shell of the Iron Maiden doll?" The words were full of disbelief.

At this time, a tall and plump figure stood up from the shadows!

Judging from his height, he is actually no shorter than the tall and lanky knight who is 2.2 meters tall.

But the opponent's fat figure is comparable to seven or eight lanky knights.

If Ren were present, he would immediately associate the other person with a sumo wrestler from a certain country in his previous life. They were so similar, except that the other person was wearing a hood and a robe.

"This, officiant, I am also reporting based on Lamar's report." The tall knight saw the officiant stand up, took a step back, and said slightly nervously.

After listening to the reasons stated by the other party, the officiant's tone suddenly became much higher, and he said with obvious anger:

"Giovanni! You have been the president of the Brotherhood of the Wilderness for too long. Are you stupid?"

"Do you think that reason just now is valid? You should know that even a peak knight is unlikely to destroy the Iron Maiden doll with a hammer."

"You have let me down too much!"

"This." Facing the chief priest's question, Giovanni, the president of the Wilderness Brotherhood, was speechless and didn't know how to explain it for a while.

However, he quickly came to his senses and said, "Master officiant, I asked Lamar to come this time. He is right outside the door. Do you think you want to listen to his report directly?"

Obviously, Giovanni didn't want to take the blame.

The fat officiant nodded slightly.

After Black Flame Monk Lamar came in to report, the officiant also fell silent.

After a while, the deep voice of the officiant sounded again: "Giovanni, let this matter be handled by you, the beast knight."

"The majesty of the Black Flame Church cannot be challenged! Go!"

"As you command, Master Priest!" Giovanni and Lamar both said, stroking their chests and bowing.

——

It's late at night.

The moon and stars are sparse, and everything is silent.

Thin mist floated over the entire Shining Gold Town.

Renn also returned to his new bedroom to rest early, and at this moment, he was already fast asleep.

At this time, a hooded old man in black robes walked slowly from the outskirts of Goldsmith Town to the center of the town, avoiding the patrolling night watchman team every time he turned.

When he was about forty or fifty meters away from Rennes' new home, he stopped and glanced left and right, and then walked into a dark alley with no lights.

Not long after he entered, three Goldshire night watchmen patrolled past the alley.

After the night watchman team left, the old man began to draw something on the ground with the crutch in his hand.

Soon, a pattern about one meter in diameter, similar to a reverse pentagram, appeared on the ground. From a distance, it looked like a child's graffiti on the ground.

Then, the old man took out the piece of clothing that Mint had helped him from his arms and placed it in the center of the reverse five-pointed star pattern.

Immediately afterwards, the old man began to recite a spell in a low voice, and pointed the wooden crutch in his hand at the reverse pentagram pattern on the ground.

".(Akkadian) Curse: Mental exhaustion!"

As soon as the old man finished speaking, Ren, who was in a bedroom forty or fifty meters away, suddenly frowned from his originally calm face while sleeping.

In his sleep, Ren only felt that he seemed very tired. He could hardly open his eyes and couldn't wake up.

At this time, the old man seemed to have felt that the curse had taken effect, and the face under the hood smiled slightly. However, it was not over yet, and he took out another phalanx from his arms.

The finger bones are elongated and appear to come from the corpse of an adult human female.

I saw the old man holding his phalanges and singing softly again.

A few seconds later, a transparent humanoid spirit appeared in front of the old man. Judging from the slim figure, it seemed that he was a beautiful human woman.

"Go, Sandora, get rid of the owner of that dress!" the old man signaled.

I saw a female resentful spirit named Sandora walking obediently to the side of the reverse pentagram, feeling the breath of the clothes, and then nodded at the old man.

Then, like a mist, it drifted towards Ren's location.

Soon, the female resentful spirit Sandora passed through the wall and sneaked into Ren's bedroom. She also saw Ren lying on the bed with a frown on his face.

With an expressionless face, Shandora slowly stepped forward, stretched out her claws that turned from empty to real with a cold light, and was about to launch a fatal blow to Ren, when suddenly, she was stunned!

Her eyes were focused on an inconspicuous brass ring worn on Ren's left index finger.

She could feel a similar breath condensed on it, and could also understand the meaning contained in the breath: "He is my friend, please don't hurt him."

If Ren was awake at this time, he would definitely notice that the ring the other party was looking at was the rare item 'Agatha's Ring'.

(Agatha's Ring: This is an ordinary brass ring, but it has the sincere gratitude and blessings of a girl's soul attached to it. After wearing it, some undead creatures will have a good impression of the wearer.)

At this time, the graceful female resentful spirit Sandora showed hesitation and did not launch an attack.

It seemed that this ring touched something deep in her heart.

What Sandra didn't notice was that at this moment, the person she wanted to kill on the bed was looking at her with squinted eyes.

In fact, just when Sandora was about to kill, Ren's level 3 'danger perception' alerted him to the police.

But soon, the alarm in Ren's heart disappeared mysteriously.

But Ren had already woken up. He looked at the scene in front of him and thought about it. He was also very surprised that this female resentful spirit should have come to attack him, but for some reason, he hesitated in place.

After waiting for a while, the female resentful spirit actually turned around, walked through the wall and left the room.

This made Renn feel a little confused for a while.

After waiting for a few seconds, Ren didn't see the other party return, so he quickly stood up and walked to the window. Through the window, he saw an almost transparent female ghost floating towards the dark alley not far away.

Ren thought for a moment and did not choose to catch up immediately.

Because he felt that the enemy he encountered this time was not ordinary, and could actually control the resentful soul to attack him.

Although, in the end, for some unknown reason, the female resentful spirit did not attack him.

Obviously, with such a mysterious enemy watching eagerly from the side, no one can sleep peacefully!

It's best to check it out first.

"Eye of the Beast!"

Renn immediately remembered this newly mastered core skill of the beast tamer and started to use it immediately.

With the use of the core skill 'Eye of the Beast', Ren's soul seemed to be possessed by the greyhound 'Cookie' who was sleeping in the utility room.

I saw 'Cookie' suddenly stood up, rushed downstairs and out the door, and ran towards the dark alley.

Soon, 'Cookie' came to the entrance of the alley, and in a very humane manner, he stuck out his dog's head and took a look inside.

Because dogs have dark vision, Ryan could clearly see a slightly stooped, hooded man in black robes in the alley through Cookie's field of vision.

And the female resentful spirit that just floated into his room seemed to be telling something to the man in black robe.

However, 'Cookie''s eyes only stared at the man in black robe for a few seconds, and the other person turned around immediately.

This made Ren's heart tremble for a moment, and he immediately controlled Cookie and ran away with a whimper.

The old man glanced at it and realized it was a stray dog, so he didn't care.

Through the observation just now, Ren found that the other party's perception was very keen, and it was very likely that the other party's mental power was still higher than his!

"Is the other party a third-level wizard apprentice? Or a stronger profession?" Renn guessed.

Facing this obviously very difficult enemy, Renn's brain started spinning rapidly.

"With such a cunning enemy, if you don't kill him, you will have trouble sleeping and eating!"

"This battle should be inevitable."

"At this moment, the other party should not realize that they have found him."

"If we launch a sneak attack now."

I saw Ren immediately deactivated the 'Eye of the Beast', quickly put on the chromium iron sheath, picked up the war hammer and sword and rushed out.

When he was about to reach the alley, Ren slowed down.

To be on the safe side, it is naturally best to improve your strength.

The next second, Ren was in the Knight Extraordinary Panel, adding a few more skill points to the limit breaking value, which instantly changed from 51% to 61%.

This also allowed Renn to move directly from the level of a senior knight to the level of a peak knight.

Together with this, the two extraordinary characteristics, ‘Giant Strength’ and ‘Iron Skin’, have all entered the lv3 level!

[Extraordinary characteristics: Juli lv3 (active)]

Juli lv3 effect: Strength doubled.

(Note: The extent to which the extraordinary characteristic of giant strength increases the host's power is directly related to the limit breaking value. The higher the limit breaking level, the higher the strength improvement.)

[Extraordinary Characteristics: Iron Skin lv3 (Passive)]

Iron Skin lv3 effect: The body will automatically absorb free metal elements and form a metal film on the surface of the skin.

(Note: The defensive power of the metal film is positively related to mental power and breaking limit value. The higher the mental power and breaking limit value, the stronger the ability to absorb metal elements and the higher the defense power)

‘Power multiplication’, ‘metal film’!

This gave Rennes a boost of confidence!

As soon as Renn appeared at the entrance of the alley, the old man in black robe turned around and saw a pair of deep eyes under the other's hood. He looked at Renn with slight surprise and said:

"Huh? How did you find me?"

At this time, Adams was very surprised that Renne could actually find the alley where he was.

However, there was no hint of panic or worry in his tone.

It seems that he has absolute confidence in his own strength!

Renn smiled and did not answer Adams' question.

Instead, he took out a flare from his arms, and instantly, with a 'swish' sound, the flare shot into the air and exploded quickly.

That’s right!

This was the Night's Watch's signal for help.

As the deputy security officer of Goldshire, Wren naturally carries a flare with him.

Facing such an enemy with strange tactics, Renn felt that it might not be a good idea to fight alone. In addition, this place is very close to the Executive Hall. Hamilton should be able to arrive in less than a minute!

"Haha, stupid guy!" Facing Ren's approach of sending out signal flares to call for reinforcements without saying a word, Adams couldn't help but be furious! It feels like being played!

"Originally, Lady Luck allowed you to escape by chance, but I didn't expect you to seek death on your own initiative!" As he spoke, he took out a scroll from his arms and quickly tore it open.

Renn's pupils immediately shrank!

"Break the limit!"

Renne, who was holding a pig-headed hammer, was about to avoid the opponent's scroll attack horizontally!

Suddenly, Renn felt a trance in his head, and in an instant, the scene around him changed drastically.

The walls in the alley quickly softened like noodles, and the old man in black robe who was standing opposite Ren was also stretched and squashed.

This feeling is very bad, like a person who is prone to seasickness paddling a canoe alone in a rough sea!

Ren endured the discomfort and shook his head violently.

At this time, Ren saw his surroundings clearly again.

However, his younger sister Mint suddenly appeared in front of him. Mint waved to him and said with a smile: "Brother, will you come and play with me?"

Mint's sweet childish voice made Ren feel a little fond in his heart.

It seems that it would be the biggest mistake in the world not to agree to play with him for a while.

But the next second, Ren immediately realized that at this moment, shouldn't he be fighting a mysterious old man in black robes in the alley? how

Suddenly, an alarm bell rang in Ren's heart!

Almost at the same time, Renn felt a sharp pain in his chest, and then, his whole body was blown away!

When Ren stood up again, the scene returned to the dark alley, and opposite him, the mysterious old man in black robe still stood.

At this moment, his whole body was in burning pain. When he looked down, he saw that the chromium iron plate armor on his chest had been corroded and had a big hole. Fortunately, the silver-gray metal film on the body blocked subsequent damage.

But it seems that the energy of the metal film is also close to being exhausted, and its luster is quickly becoming dim.

Grass!

so smart!

Ren cursed secretly in his mind.

If he hadn't just reached the peak of knighthood, and at the same time, the extraordinary characteristic 'Iron Skin' had also been upgraded to lv3, it is estimated that the opponent's weird attack just now would have severely damaged him, or even taken him away in one wave!

"Huh? He's not dead?"

Seeing that a big hole was blown out of Ren's thick knight's breastplate, Adams, who originally thought that Ren was bound to die, suddenly saw his eyes widen twice in size and his mouth opened slightly!

At this moment, he was more surprised than Ren!

You know, with the illusion scroll and his combo of witchcraft'secondary shadow arrow', he is the peak knight, and he can be taken away in one wave without a word!

Can this kid in front of me actually survive?

No! Not only did he survive, but he was able to stand up!

What the hell!

Could it be that the opponent's knight's plate armor has strong negative energy defense?

But it doesn’t look like it!

The opponent's knight's breastplate had obviously been corroded with a big hole by his own secondary shadow arrows.

Adams, who looked puzzled, frowned in thought.

Suddenly, there was a burst of dense footsteps at the entrance of the alley, and Hamilton heard the movement and rushed over with more than ten night watchmen.

"You are Adams!!!" When he saw the old man for the first time, Hamilton's pupils shrank suddenly and his expression changed drastically.
