The wizard starts by trimming the donkey's hooves

Chapter 137 Actually, I am very interested in forging! (Two chapters in one)

Although she knew that Renn had entered the transcendental realm, Lagree did not see the scene where Renn killed four black flame monks.

Therefore, Lagret glanced at Renn suspiciously and said, "Renn, didn't you say you just learned the hammer technique?"

"I'm really just learning this!" Renn touched his nose.

This should be the effect of hammer specialization.

It was just this reason that Renne obviously couldn't express.

[Your skill Tokkal Hammer has been improved, and your experience value is +17]

[You have experienced a battle, and the knight (extraordinary) professional experience value +0]

[Your skill Tokkal Hammer has been improved, and your experience value is +15]

[You have experienced a battle, and the knight (extraordinary) professional experience value +1]

"Hmm! It's just that a war hammer made of ordinary materials is not very suitable for you." Lagre said as he glanced at the iron and wood sledgehammer in Ren's hand.

But for the professional level of Rennes' Knight (Extraordinary), the increase in experience is almost negligible.

After a few minutes of sparring, Tokkar's hammering skills have been greatly improved.

There is no such thing!
With a physique of 18 points, Renn's current competition with LaGrei feels like a marathon runner jogging ten kilometers in his previous life.

"What do you know!"

In addition, although she is a barbarian, and her strength and physique are better than ordinary quasi-knights, Lagre always feels that Ren is a monster, more like a barbarian than her.

Even if you use your best shield!
said LaGrey heartily.

The night watchmen on the side frequently glanced at Lagret and Renn.

"That blood-patterned steel is also refined from some kind of rare ore?" Ren asked.

Of course, you can occasionally see +1 experience points, which is better than nothing.

This made Lagret's cheeks, which were already flushed from the strenuous exercise, become even redder now.

"Oh!"

Last time, he bought the opponent's only star iron and integrated it into the shimmering giant sword.

Isn't this bullying?
Not to mention that Renne has entered the transcendent realm, he also obviously has a certain foundation in hammering skills. He simply can't take a few hammer blows from Renne.

"do not fight!"

Renn nodded immediately and said, "Yes! I need a good war hammer."

Before Renn entered the transcendent realm, the high-quality stainless steel sword could no longer withstand his fighting intensity, not to mention that Renn was now a senior knight.

It’s so nerve-wracking!
As for fatigue?

"."

Suddenly, a flash of light flashed through Ren's mind, and he suddenly remembered something!
He remembered that blacksmith Boris once said something to him:

Lagre's plump chest rose and fell violently, her beautiful eyes rolled at Ren, who had no beads of sweat on his forehead, and she said angrily.

"This is called fun!" Mateo glanced at the night watchman subordinate and said.

Although Goldsmith Town has just been attacked by cultists, and the workload of the night watchmen has doubled, but after seeing the powerful strength of the cultists, many night watchmen will still find time to come to the training ground to improve themselves no matter how busy they are.

This can't help but give Ren a headache. Obviously, such high-end goods are not available in the small town blacksmith Boris.

"Um, okay!" Renne could see that LaGrei had indeed tried her best.

"By the way, Lagre, can you forge a warhammer?" Ren said, waving the ironwood sledgehammer in his hand.

"Yes, it is also refined from special ores and is very rare." Lagrei nodded and said.

This point, as his strength improves, the importance of a good weapon becomes more and more prominent.

"As far as I know, if you want to make a war hammer and at the same time meet the strength requirements of a formal knight, it is best to use blood-patterned steel. This kind of steel has good strength and toughness and is very suitable for forging war hammers."

"I see. No wonder the adjutant is so strong, yet he still drags the opponent to compete."

"Interesting?" The night watchman thought for a while and seemed to understand something. He nodded repeatedly with an expression of sudden realization.

In addition, when the 'superposition state' burst is turned on, Ren's requirements for weapons are even higher!
Can the requirements be the same for a weapon wielded at 20 strength points and a weapon wielded at 40 strength points?
The answer is obviously no!

Since there are better material options, it is natural to choose better ones.

One of the night watchmen turned to the little Mateo and whispered: "Captain, do you think the adjutant doesn't know how to show mercy to such a beautiful barbarian girl?"

"Secondly, it's the star iron you saw last time. Adjusting the proportions and using it to make war hammers is also very good."

Lagree was hit on the shield again by Ren's iron-wood sledgehammer and fell back several meters.

Go and see the quartermaster next door?
After thinking about it, Ren immediately shook his head. No matter how abundant the items that could be exchanged were at the quartermaster's place, it was impossible to exchange them for such rare raw materials.

It's just that he only used about 60% of his strength just now. If it is lower, after a competition, the experience value of Tokkar Hammer Technique will be too little. If the strength is greater, Lagrei will not be able to bear it.

The competition continues.

Although the other party's conversation was very soft, due to the strength of Ren and LaGrei, they could still hear these conversations clearly.

At most it’s a warm-up!

"Ren, if you want to learn how to identify other special ores, you have to go to the large blacksmith shop in the county. Of course, the blacksmith shop in the manor castle must also have a lot of special ores in stock."

Yup!

Why didn't I think of it?

In fact, you can go to the blacksmith shop in the Habsburg Manor and have a look.

Renne quickly came to his senses!
Reminds me of the blacksmith shop on the first floor of the castle.

At this time, at that time, I was still an unknown child servant.

But now the situation is different.

Yesterday, Knight Lloyd and Professor Perez of the manor chatted with him for a long time, and both of them invited him to visit the Habsburg Manor if he was free.

It just so happened that I could mention the blood-patterned steel to them by the way.

As long as it is confirmed, it should not be a big problem!
In addition, I also gained more than two hundred imperial gold coins from the Black Flame Monk's loot. In addition to the previous ones, it is estimated that it is enough to directly purchase the blood-patterned steel.

After thinking about this, Renn couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, obviously in a good mood.

Lagret looked at Renn with confusion.

She was confused as to why Ren, who was obviously frowning, suddenly started laughing.

At this time, a man dressed as a servant walked in at the door of the training ground. The man looked around first, and soon he saw Renn talking to the barbarian girl Lagre in the center of the field.

He stepped forward and said respectfully: "Lord Ren, I am a servant of the Habsburg Manor. Knight Lloyd would like to invite you to dinner. I wonder if you have time?"

"Well, of course, you can take this beautiful lady next to you with you." The man was very good at observing people's emotions. When he saw the beautiful girl Lagret next to Ren, he immediately thought of something and quickly added later. .

This made Lagret, who had always been cheerful, a little shy, but unlike Anna, she was still looking at Ren with a burning gaze at this time.

She wanted to see how Ren would answer.

"La Gray, if you have nothing to do tonight, why don't you come with me?" What Ren was thinking about was that it would be more convenient to take La Gray with him when picking ores.

After all, the blood-patterned steel used to forge the war hammer may not be available in the blacksmith shop in the manor.

However, the manor's blacksmith shop most likely contains other special ores similar to blood-patterned steel, which may also be suitable for making war hammers.

But Ren really doesn't know much about special ores. If he brings along Lagre, a senior blacksmith, he can naturally save a lot of trouble.

"Thank you, no need. I'd better accompany Anna." LaGrei was very happy when she saw that Ren wanted to take her with him, but she immediately refused.

She is not very interested in dealing with the imperial nobles.

In fact, she was also very surprised as to why she had a crush on Ren.

Is it because the other person saved him?

No.

Perhaps, in the blood of barbarians, there is a gene for worshiping the strong.

After all, in a place like the Howling Tundra, only those who are strong enough can reproduce and survive.

"I'm leaving first!" Lagre waved his hand and left the training ground.

Ren looked at Lagret's retreating back and wondered why he refused. He shook his head slightly and said to the manservant: "Tell Knight Lloyd that I will be the only one tonight."

"Okay, Lord Ren, I look forward to your visit in the evening." The manservant bowed slightly and left quickly.

In addition to the war hammer, Renne also needs a sturdy set of knight's plate armor.

It's a pity that Lagret doesn't know how to forge armor.

After thinking about it, Renn came to the Night Watch Quartermaster.

This was his first time coming to the Quartermaster.

It was former captain Willen who helped him arrange relevant matters before.

As soon as he saw Ren coming in, the chubby quartermaster immediately stood up from his chair and shouted respectfully: "Adjutant!"

"Hey! Do you know me?" Renn couldn't help but asked curiously.

"Of course, Sir Ren, your grace when you killed the cultists yesterday, I think everyone present at the time will always remember it." Thomson complimented while recalling the scene that day.

Yesterday, he was one of the trembling crowds packed into the church for worship.

Originally he thought it was definitely over now.

But unexpectedly, Renn's sudden appearance was like a god coming down to earth, killing three cult supernatural beings in a row and saving nearly half of the people in the church.

After going through this incident, it is simply impossible for Thomson to forget about Renn!

"By the way, Lord Adjutant, are you here this time?"

"Do you have any ready-made knight's plate armor here?"

"Yes, it's over here." Thomson nodded immediately, turned around quickly with a very flexible body, and led Ren to the storage room aside, and took out two sets of heavy knight plate armor suits.

Ren was delighted at first, but after opening it and taking a closer look, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

There are two existing sets of knight's plate armor in the munitions room, but the quality is average, not even as good as the set Hamilton gave him last time.

This should be prepared for people at the quasi-knight level.

This level of knight's plate armor, apart from bringing more than a hundred pounds of weight to Renne, basically doesn't bring much defense.

"Is there a warhammer here?" Ren asked again.

"Yes, Lord Adjutant, do you want a two-handed war hammer or a one-handed war hammer?"

"Two-handed hammer." Soon, Thomson brought a two-handed sledgehammer and handed it to Ren.

When Ren saw the results, he was very surprised. Except for the hammer head, which was made of iron, the two-handed sledgehammer was made of wood.

This made Renn couldn't help but complain, this is not much different from the iron and wood sledgehammer in the training room.

"Is the handle made of wood?"

"Yes, sir, the handle of the hammer is made of oak. It has very good toughness and is strong and durable."

Ren nodded.

Obviously, there shouldn't be any good weapons suitable for him in the military storage room.

After all, most of the equipment here is prepared for ordinary night watchmen and security guards.

Seeing the disappointed look on Ren's face, Thomson keenly noticed something and asked cautiously: "Adjutant, do you want better quality weapons or armor?"

"Don't you know that at your level, the equipment that needs to be exchanged needs to go to the military supplies office in the county."

"Huh? Do you want to go to the county town?"

"Isn't there a pamphlet?"

Wren gestured to Thomson, the size of the pamphlet Hamilton had shown him before.

He still remembered the large words written on the cover of the booklet: 'Empire Security and Guard Force Merit Points Redemption Booklet (Non-Commissioned Officer)'.

Thomson suddenly realized!
"It's like this. As the adjutant of the public security, even the merit point redemption book is different from the previous one. It is at the lieutenant level and is classified. It can only be viewed at the quartermaster of the county."

That's it, Ren nodded.

Also, the higher the level, the more things can be exchanged, and many things may involve some secrets.

When Ren returned home, he wanted to study Akkadian, but he didn't expect that as soon as he sat down, the messenger came, saying that Lord Hamilton invited him to come over.

Soon, Lane came to Hamilton's office.

When he saw Renn coming in, Hamilton said with a smile: "Renn, your merits for killing three Black Flame monks and one Black Flame apostle last time have been evaluated. Adding the previous merit points, the total is 1489 points."

When Hamilton saw this number for the first time, he was a little stunned.

Originally, he expected that Renne would definitely have enough merit points this time, but he didn't expect that it would exceed so many.

It seems that the Black Flame Apostle contributed more than 500 merit points alone.

"So many?" Renn couldn't help blurting out.

"You didn't expect it, did you? Actually, I didn't expect it either."

Seeing Ren's eyes widened with a surprised expression, Hamilton suddenly felt a lot more balanced.

Renne had given him too many shocks recently!

Now, it was his turn to shock Renne.

"Here, these are the relevant documents for participating in the canonization assessment. You need to fill them out yourself." Hamilton handed another thin document to Renne and said.

"Yeah." After Ren took it, he looked at it carefully.

The document consists of two pieces of paper, and the written content is very simple.

In fact, it is just a disclaimer, which means that the assessment is risky and you should be cautious when participating.

You can give up at any time before the assessment task is issued.

However, if you give up after the assessment task is issued, you will need to wait for five years before you can refer to it again. If you give up twice in a row, you will be banned from taking the exam for life.

After reading it quickly, Ren immediately picked up the quill and filled in his name.

"By the way, Renn, I heard that you were practicing heavy hammering at the training ground this morning?" Hamilton asked casually after taking the document handed over by Renn.

"Yes, my lord."

Renn was still a little surprised. The news spread so quickly?

What happened in the morning reached Hamilton's ears in the afternoon.

Hamilton frowned slightly and said: "Although the damage caused by the heavy hammer is amazing, if the practice time is short, it may be difficult to make any substantial progress."

"It is recommended that you focus on the giant bear swordsmanship and wait until the canonization assessment is over before practicing."

Renn nodded and did not object. He knew that Hamilton had good intentions.

But he has a problem, it’s different!

"By the way, I have two things to remind you about the canonization assessment." Hamilton thought for a while and then said.

"The first one is that if you encounter a multiplayer mission or a team mission, you must pay attention to some of your teammates."

"The teammates I'm talking about don't just mean the heirs of nobles, but also common people."

As if he had thought of something, Hamilton's face became solemn when he mentioned the last sentence.

"Of course, it is best if you can win a single mission. Although the difficulty of the mission may be a little higher, relatively speaking, the situation is easier to grasp."

"Furthermore, according to your current strength and age, as long as you can complete the task normally, your rating will not be low. The Lord's assessment should be very confident."

"As for whether we can capture the Baron, I don't think we need to force it. Everything should be based on our own safety."

"Thank you for your concern, sir. I will pay attention." Seeing Hamilton being so solemn, Renn nodded seriously and said.

"Then you should prepare well recently. According to the usual practice, someone from above will contact you within one month after the declaration."

"A month?" Renn looked thoughtful.

In one month, it is enough to improve my strength to another level!

evening.

Facing the sunset, Renn wore a plate armor and carried a shimmering giant sword wrapped in sheepskin, and arrived at the Habsburg Manor, which he had not been to for nearly a month.

Under the sunset, the Habsburg Manor looks like a solid gold building covered with golden gauze, which is magnificent.

For the first time, Ren discovered that the scenery of the original manor was really beautiful.

Maybe it was because of my mentality that I never really appreciated it.

It's like a five or six-year-old boy who is held in the arms of a beautiful woman with a curvy front and back but doesn't realize it. Instead, he is attracted to a lollipop and can't take his eyes away.

Ren came to the gate of the manor as he was familiar with the roads.

At this time, a maid had been waiting at the door. Seeing Renn, she stepped forward and said respectfully: "Is this Mr. Renn?"

Renn nodded and said, "Yes."

"Please come with me."

"Okay." Ren followed the maid into the castle.

After the maid took Ren to a luxuriously decorated living room, she said, "Sir Ren, please sit down in the living room for a while. I will report to you immediately."

Just as Ren was leisurely looking at the exquisite decorations in the living room, a familiar figure appeared at the door.

"Eh? Are you Renn?" I saw the head maid Xia Diya, who was holding a silver teapot, looking at Renn in surprise, as if she was a little unsure.

After all, after one month, Renn's figure has changed quite a lot.

However, when Ren looked up, Xia Diya confirmed that the young man sitting in the castle's living room was Ren.

"Why are you here?" Xia Diya was still wearing a black maid uniform representing a high-level servant.

Ren stood up and smiled at the head maid Xia Diya. When he was about to say something, he heard footsteps coming from the door.

This made Xia Diya slightly nervous.

She knew that Knight Lloyd was entertaining a distinguished guest that evening.

Therefore, she specially brought tea and prepared to receive it personally.

But now Renn doesn't know why he appears here.

"By the way, Ren, are you here to get black tung oil?"

"But I remember didn't I show you the way last time?"

"Ren, come with me quickly. This is the living room. Distinguished guests are coming soon."

At this time, Knight Lloyd walked in, accompanied by Perez's swordsmanship instructor.

The two extraordinary people entered, and the head maid Xia Diya couldn't help but change her expression!
Lloyd and Perez's eyes swept past Xadia and focused on Ren.

This made Xia Diya secretly shout 'Oops'!
Although Knight Lloyd is a good person, as the person in charge of the manor, he is rather old-fashioned and pays attention to rules.

As for Mr. Perez, she could feel the pride deep in his bones.

This kind of pride is not derogatory, but more of a knight's pride, pride in his own skills!

Just as Xia Diya's head was spinning rapidly, trying to find a suitable reason for Renne, she heard Lloyd laughing heartily and said: "Ren! You are finally here!"

Perez, the always proud swordsmanship instructor, also smiled at Ren.

Because in his heart, Ren's outstanding giant bear swordsmanship has already been recognized by him.

what?
Xia Diya couldn't help but her beautiful eyes suddenly widened twice in size, her mouth slightly opened, and she stared at this scene in a daze.

This this.
What's happening here!
Could it be that the distinguished guest tonight is Renn?
"Knight Lloyd, Mr. Perez, you guys..." Xia Dia looked at Ren, and then at the two extraordinary knights.

"Hey, Xia Diya, do you and Ren know each other?" Lloyd looked at Xia Diya's shocked expression and asked proactively.

Before Xia Diya could answer, Ren said with a smile: "Haha, Knight Lloyd, you may not know that I once participated in the maid training at the manor. During the training, the head maid Xia Diya took good care of me."

"Oh?" Knight Lloyd looked at Xia Diya with a smile.

"That's right." Xia Diya still didn't react.

"Ren, do you want me to take you to visit the castle first?" Knight Lloyd was still very attentive and did not ask or mention too much about Ren's training of child servants here.

After all, many people don't like to be mentioned about the past, especially when it's not so good.

"Of course, it's my honor." Ren said with a smile.

"This is the back garden. Unfortunately, it is already the frost month, and many flowers have passed their flowering period." Knight Lloyd introduced.

Ren nodded.

At this time, when he came to the back garden of the castle, he couldn't help but think of the scene where he and Claire competed here.

"This is the blacksmith shop." Knight Lloyd pointed to the end of the corridor on the first floor of the castle and said.

"Oh? Blacksmith shop?" Ren asked knowingly.

"Can you go in and have a look? Actually, you two adults may not know that I am very interested in forging!"
