The wizard starts by trimming the donkey's hooves

On the second day after checking into the Navy House Hotel, Lane did not go to the training ground, but walked around in and around the Navy House Hotel.

Soon, Renne had a preliminary understanding of the environment here.

It turns out that there are many pirate organizations, smuggling gangs, etc. of various sizes hidden on the islands dotted around Rosby City.

Ren also heard many naval officers chatting from the tavern on the first floor of the Navy House Hotel that many of the empire's wanted criminals who fled here from the inland areas were also hiding on these islands.

In addition, there are some aboriginal tribes on the slightly remote large islands. These tribal warriors are painted in camouflage and have strong fighting power. Some of the leaders are as powerful as formal knights.

As for why the empire failed to eliminate all these ‘ghosts and monsters’ from the islands?

It seems that the newly born Eagle Federation has restricted most of the strength of the Imperial Navy. Of course, there should be other reasons. This is not something that Renn, who has only been here for a day, can know.

Such a complicated situation made Renn think for a while.

Obviously, his canonization assessment task may be to attack a pirate camp, kill a wanted criminal, or even capture a spy of the Eagle Federation alive, etc.

If you can know the content of the task in advance, you can obviously prepare in a more targeted manner.

However, Renn thought about it. With his peak knight strength, he was obviously ranked in the upper reaches of the people who participated in the canonization assessment. If he had difficulties, let alone others.

The night he checked into the Navy House Hotel, Lane discovered that most of the passengers in the adjacent room were young people, except for a few people wearing navy uniforms.

These young people have steady steps and long breaths. They should obviously be knights participating in this canonization assessment just like Haas and him. Renn made a rough estimate and found dozens of them.

In addition, with the strength of the Peak Knight of Ren and the 23 points of mental acuity, although it is not possible to accurately judge the strength of each person, it can generally be seen as to some level.

Most of these young people, including Haas, have the strength of official knights. Of course, maybe Renne will miss the point and regard some senior knights as official knights.

But to say that he was a bit opaque, there were only three or four people who appeared. They all had gold or silver threads on their cuffs and collars, and they were most likely heirs of nobles.

There is no way. Under the same talent conditions, the heirs of nobles have received better education and training since childhood. In addition, due to factors such as blood inheritance and the family's knight's breathing method, they will naturally be stronger.

Moreover, during the day, a steady stream of young people came to the Navy House Hotel with bulging luggage in hand.

It arrived even later than him.

That afternoon, Renn came to the training ground behind the hotel for the first time and found that there were many young people inside, practicing various weapons, mostly swords, shields, hammers and shields, and bows and arrows, and some were using two-handed swords.

But there are far fewer people who practice two-handed war hammers.

Many of them were gathering together in twos and threes. At this time, Haas couldn't help but rejoiced when he saw Renn coming. He stepped forward and said: "Renn, you are finally here. Well, those are the ones who are attacking the Baron's comments." A descendant of a noble family."

"They should be the strongest among our group of people who participated in the assessment."

Ren followed Haas's eyes and saw about three or four groups of people. In the middle of each group of people, there was a person surrounded by stars and the moon, demonstrating martial arts or saying something.

Ren observed it and found that it was similar to what he had noticed before. These people should have at least the strength of senior knights, while most of the people around them had the strength of formal knights.

"That red-haired beauty is Evelyn Norman, the daughter of Viscount Norman of Rosby County. Isn't she beautiful?"

"It's indeed beautiful!" Ren nodded, the other person's temperament was a bit like Claire's. In addition, among a group of men, there are only a few female knights, so they are naturally the most eye-catching ones.

"What are they doing? Socializing?" Ren asked casually.

"Build a good relationship so that if we encounter a team task, everyone will be familiar with each other." Haas explained.

Ren nodded silently and said nothing.

After staying for a while, Renn returned to his hotel room. It was impossible for him to display his true strength on the training ground, otherwise, it would be too eye-catching.

Early the next morning, a group of young knights were summoned. Only then did Ren know that there were so many people participating in the canonization assessment in Rosby City, almost seventy or eighty people.

But if you think about it carefully, in a place as big as the province of Münster, the number of these people does not seem to be too much. Each county has as few as seven or eight, and as many as more than ten.

At this time, a burly Navy Rear Admiral strode over, followed by the graceful Navy Lieutenant Commander Marika Morales and a guard.

"Fellow knights, the hope of the future of the empire, welcome you to Rosby City, the headquarters of the Sixth Squadron of the Empire's South Sea Fleet. This morning, two things need to be done, one is to draw lots, and the other is to tell the rules."

The major general's speech was in a concise military style and he quickly got to the point.

"Everyone, come up and draw lots. The odd numbers are individual tasks, and the even numbers are team tasks."

I saw the female major Malika motioning to a small cardboard box held by the guard and letting everyone take it out one by one.

Soon, it was Ren's turn.

"32, eh, is it a team mission?" Renn didn't expect that he would actually get a team mission.

He clearly remembered what Hamilton reminded him that day. For team tasks, in addition to being careful about dealing with enemies, you should also be wary of certain teammates.

What a hassle!

It would be much easier if it were a solo mission.

"Huh? Are you on a team mission? Renn, you are so lucky." Haas looked at Renn with envy.

"It's not like me. It's a solo mission. Damn it!"

Ren glanced at Haas and was speechless.

If I can be replaced, Haas, I would love to be replaced with you! Renxin said.

At this time, many young people who had also received team tasks began to whisper, as if they were communicating with each other, and many of them looked happy.

At this time, the burly rear admiral continued:

"All examiners must strictly abide by one rule, that is, they can only use their own power, and they are absolutely not allowed to use external forces, such as witchcraft scrolls, extraordinary potions, etc."

"Of course, ordinary weapons and equipment, hemostatic drugs, and bandages are not included in this list!"

"Sir, would it be illegal for me to use some witchcraft, such as the wind witchcraft 'Light Body Technique'?" A young man who looked like he was a descendant of a commoner suddenly raised his hand and asked.

When Ren heard this, he couldn't help but look up at the young man. Unexpectedly, the other person asked the question for him.

"Okay! I said, your own power is allowed."

"If there are no problems, we will set off at seven o'clock tonight. Please prepare for battle. As for the specific tasks, due to the need for confidentiality, they will not be released to you until after departure."

"If anyone wants to quit, you can register to quit now with Major Malika." When the rear admiral said this, a pair of bright eyes began to look around.

Ren seemed to feel the substantial gaze. He raised his head and met the major general's eyes for a moment, then quickly lowered his head.

This faint sense of coercion, the strength of the great knight?

Renn couldn't help but secretly guessed.

"If not, disband!" the rear admiral said.

Everyone immediately dispersed, discussing something in twos and threes, and Renn also followed the flow of people back to the Navy House Hotel.

"Strange, how could that young man just now make me react vigilantly? Could it be that his strength can already threaten me?"

"It shouldn't be the case. I haven't heard of any descendants of upper-class nobles coming from Minster Province this time."

The rear admiral thought for a moment, shook his head, and walked away talking to himself.

At seven o'clock sharp.

About thirty assessors who participated in the team task were gathered together. Under the leadership of the rear admiral and several officers, they boarded a sailless rowing boat more than twenty meters long.

As soon as he got on the ship, Ren found that there were already several middle-aged men in noble hunting attire in the cabin. They seemed to be staff members of the canonization assessment committee.

After everyone took their seats in the cabin, an officer distributed a stack of papers.

At this time, as the ship moved forward, the major general said sonorously:

"The details of this assessment mission have been distributed to everyone. Suggestions for killing people who want to obtain different levels of evaluation are also attached below."

As the major general explained, Renn quickly glanced at the contents on the paper.

"Killing suggestions for qualified evaluation: Kill more than twelve Blood Sail Pirates, the more the better. Note: The bloody scarf on the opponent's head is the best evidence, because you cannot ensure that the assessor can see every one you kill. A Bloodsail Pirate."

"Killing suggestions for a good rating: Kill five Blood Sail pirate leaders. The pirate leader's strength is about the quasi-knight level. Or, kill one Blood Sail Pirate boatswain or above, and the strength is generally a formal knight or slightly stronger. Note: If the strength allows, I suggest the latter, and you will have a chance to get a higher evaluation.”

"Excellent evaluation killing suggestions: Kill the first mate of each Blood Sail Pirate ship and above. The strength is about that of a senior or even a peak knight. Note: It is dangerous. It is not recommended for those with insufficient strength to take risks easily."

"Kill the Blood Sail Pirates?"

"Why didn't you tell us in advance?"

"At least we can prepare some targeted things." Many people whispered.

At this time, a middle-aged man with a mustache wearing a noble hunting attire took over the rear admiral's words and said:

"Your canonization assessment mission this time is not as simple as wiping out the Blood Sail Pirates. It is actually to cooperate with the execution of a secret mission of the Imperial Navy."

"According to reliable information, the Eagle Federation's secret messenger has arrived at Merit Island where the Bloodsail Pirates are located."

"That's why the canonization assessment committee will make the decision, and I will tell you the specific mission content after departure."

Ren nodded. No wonder he didn't tell him the specific mission until now.

For such a secret mission, the later the news is spread, the safer it will be.

After the middle-aged man with a mustache finished speaking, the rear admiral smiled and nodded to him, and continued:

"Of course, the leader of the Bloodsail Pirates, Willie McCoy, known as Bloodhand Willie, has the strength of a great knight. You don't need to consider it. The imperial navy officer will naturally be responsible for solving the problem."

"The deputy regimental commander and captain of the Ruhr, Kraut Duggan, the fortune teller and captain of the Wreck, Marla Nasr, and the captain of the Hook, Bilkiel Jamal, are all at their peak. The strength of the knight is the same, I suggest you avoid it.”

Hearing this, Ren's eyes moved slightly, and he looked at the four wanted poster-like portraits on the paper, thoughtfully.

The first thing that catches the eye is the portrait of Willie McCoy, the leader of the Bloodsail Pirates.

He has light brown hair hanging wildly on his back, and a lot of the hair on both sides of his ears is tied into braids. His thick chin beard is also tied into braids, and he has a wide mouth and big eyes.

Although he is only wearing a captain's hat, he gives people an extraordinary majestic feeling!
