The wizard starts by trimming the donkey's hooves

Chapter 138 Is there such a good thing? (Two chapters in one)

Knight Lloyd, who originally planned to lead the blacksmith shop with just one sentence, couldn't understand what Ren meant when he heard what Ren said. He immediately smiled and said, "That's right, let's go and take a look together."

"Ren, Perez and I like fine weapons and armor very much, but we don't know much about their production process."

As expected of Knight Lloyd, who is also the butler of the manor, his words make people feel like they are in the spring breeze.

Behind the three of them, the head maid Xia Diya, who was following them all the way, finally slowly came back to her senses.

Seeing Ren chatting and laughing with the two official knights, Xia Diya always felt a little unreal!
How long has it been?

Renn has now entered the realm of transcendence and become an official knight?

This speed is comparable to Miss Claire!
No, it’s faster than Miss!

Xia Diya focused her eyes on Renn again and compared it with Renn in her impression last time.

Noticeably taller and stronger.

Obviously, he did not expect that the young man with a young face in front of him would be tonight's guest, and he had already entered the realm of knighthood.

"Snell, then you can take us for a walk." Lloyd said with a smile.

Wren also saw an old acquaintance - the blacksmith Barr who was making horseshoes.

In addition, the entire blacksmith shop has a height of about six meters and looks quite spacious and empty. The most eye-catching thing is a cylinder over four meters high that resembles a blast furnace.

"Hello, Sir Ren! I am Snell." Snell bowed slightly.

At this time, blacksmith Barr, who was forging horseshoes on the side, looked at Renn with confusion.

I saw Lloyd Knight and Coach Perez coming in.

Armorsmith?
Ren's eyes immediately lit up when he heard this.

As an armor smith, Snell naturally deserves the title of "Your Excellency" from Ren.

The other person's face was very similar to the boy he once taught who was training as a servant, and even his name was the same!
But in terms of body shape, the gap is too big.

Obviously, as the person in charge of the manor, Knight Lloyd still has a very high prestige.

The more she looked at it, the more surprised Xia Diya felt!
Of course, Ren noticed the frequent stares from the head maid behind him.

He knew that the other party must have many questions at this moment, but now was obviously not a good time to talk to Xia Diya.

Originally, he had thought about using up the remaining black tung oil and then talking to the other party about how he had entered the transcendent realm.

The larger the scale, the larger the special ores he needs.

The status of daily blacksmiths among civilians is considered to be very high, and armor casters are the upgraded profession of blacksmiths.

This made Renn feel slightly happy.

As soon as I entered the blacksmith shop, a wave of heat hit my face, and the sound of tinkling iron was heard endlessly!
Ren took a rough look around and found that there were three blacksmiths inside who were making weapons, armor, and daily necessities. The total number of blacksmith apprentices and helpers was about fifteen or sixteen.

Generally speaking, after being rated as a senior blacksmith, one's skills are actually very exquisite. However, if one wants to further improve in the future, one needs to choose a subdivided field and delve into it, such as armor smith, sword smith, etc.

At this time, led by Knight Lloyd, Renn entered the castle's blacksmith shop.

At this time, a strong man with a beard threw the work in his hand to a blacksmith apprentice. Ren noticed that the other man seemed to have just forged a plate gauntlet.

Inadvertently, Renn walked next to the 1.9-meter-tall Lloyd Knight, but there was not much difference. It seemed that Renn's height was already over 1.8 meters.

Soon, Snell led everyone to the area that Ren was most concerned about - the storage room of the blacksmith shop.

Now that I think about it, that young man, Ren, was quite talented at hoof trimming and horse shoeing.

The storage room was about seventy or eighty square meters. As soon as he entered, Ren saw at least a dozen kinds of special ores that he could not name on the multi-layered wooden shelves.

What a pity!
If he continues to participate, the other party should have a high chance of passing the boy servant assessment and becoming an apprentice to the manor's blacksmith.

Moreover, Renn's arm muscles, broad shoulders and thick chest are exposed from time to time. It is no exaggeration to say that he is an adult!

Everyone present couldn't help but raise their heads. Those who could put some work aside temporarily stopped, and those who couldn't stop also slowed down their forging speed.

Renn never expected that it would be such a coincidence that he met Xiadia as soon as he entered the castle.

The strong man named Snell was obviously stunned and looked very surprised.

"Sir Ren, this is the storage room. We store some commonly used raw materials, such as iron ingots, fluxes, special ores, etc."

But some time ago, he heard that the other party no longer participated in the child servant training.

In terms of scale, it is three to five times the size of Boris's blacksmith shop in Goldsmith Town.

"Knight Lloyd, Professor Perez, why are you two here?" said the strong man with a beard.

"Hello, Mr. Snell!"

Thinking of this, Barr shook his head slightly and continued to forge the horseshoe with his heart.

"Ren, this is Snell. He has just passed the armorcaster examination of the Imperial Blacksmith Association."

In addition, there are various cast metal ingots stacked on the ground that look to be of high quality.

"As you command, my lord!"

The statuses are even more different. One is a farmer's son, and the other is the Sheriff of Goldsmith Town.

"Snell, the protagonist tonight is not me, but this Knight of Wren, the security adjutant of Goldsmith Town." Knight Lloyd introduced with a smile.

Seeing Ren walking to the shelves with special ores on his own, he seemed to be attracted by the special ores in front of him, which made Snell feel quite proud and happy.

These special ores were slowly collected through his connections in the industry.

There are several items that are rarely seen even in auction houses.

Seeing Ren pick up a piece and look at it seriously, Snell couldn't help but feel a sense of recognition in his heart!
That is, what you value is also valued by others.

If we talk about the original introduction, Snell was more of a courtesy to the guests, but the introduction at this time was from the heart:

"Sir Ren, this is star iron. It has excellent hardness and toughness. It is an excellent sharp material. It is very good for making various daggers, long swords or two-handed swords."

"This is a igneous rock mine, produced around the hot volcanic crater. The output is extremely rare."

"This is the bloodstone mine"

Snell, who holds the title of Armor Forger assessed by the Blacksmiths Association, is far more knowledgeable in forging than Boris, the small town blacksmith. Following his introduction, system prompts appeared one after another as if they were refreshing the screen:

[Your skill ore identification is improved, experience value +19]

[You have learned to identify the special ore igneous rock ore, and the blacksmith professional experience value +6]

[Your skill ore identification is improved, experience value +21]

[You have learned to identify the special ore bloodstone, and the blacksmith professional experience value +7]

[Congratulations, your skill ore identification has been upgraded to lv2]

coming! coming! It's coming!
Suddenly, the smile on Ren's face became even brighter!

The purpose of coming to the Habsburg Manor to attend the dinner this time is considered to have been completed.

Suddenly, there were some fragmented memories in Ren's mind, as if he had been studying these special ores for several months and was very familiar with the characteristics of the ores in front of him.

Not long after Ren had digested these fragmented memories, the system prompt came again:

[Congratulations, your skill ore identification has been upgraded to lv3]

this.
Just after absorbing and digesting the fragmented memories in my mind, another wave of fragmented memories about ore identification came up.

This made Ren really feel that "listening to your words is worth ten years of reading!" '

Looking at these dazzling arrays of special ores, Renn seemed to have discovered a big gold mine.

Renn thought of the strange black flames of the Black Flame Church and the extremely hot high-temperature damage.

Renn also saw several types of special ores, all of which are high-temperature resistant materials.

After thinking for a moment, Ren felt that if he could prepare a high-temperature-resistant knight plate armor suit by then, he would definitely have an advantage when facing the Black Flame Church's evil attacks!

Unfortunately, the prices of these ores are too expensive.

It seems that we have to make money quickly!

In addition, judging from Ren's superficial knowledge of metals from his previous life, he found that the research on alloys in this world was still at a very low level.

Before, he thought the blacksmith he saw was of too low a level, but Snell was already an armor caster, and he was only at a very superficial stage of experience with alloys and had no systematic research.

An alloy is a substance with metallic properties synthesized by a certain method from two or more metals and metals or non-metals.

For example, bronze is a typical metal and metal alloy. The composition is a certain proportion of copper and tin. The difference in proportion will also lead to great differences in the properties of the alloy.

Renn felt that he had a vague grasp of the clues. Facing various strange and special ores, this was the real gold mine, but this was a huge project, and now was not the right time to start this work.

等斯奈尔将这些特殊矿石都介绍完毕，雷恩看了眼铁匠职业面板，发现铁匠已经提升至lv3（112/500），而矿石辨认lv3（27/500）。

This speed is comparable to a rocket!

For Snell, it makes him very happy to see Renn's expression sometimes hungry for knowledge and sometimes in a daze of deep thought.

Although he still doesn't know how much this strange and young Lord Ren likes forging, Snell fully approves of his attitude towards him.

Therefore, this time, Snell introduced it more diligently.

If Ren knew what Snell was thinking, he would definitely hold Snell's hands, shake them hard twice, and shout "Comrade! Let us fight for the forging cause together for the rest of our lives!"

After introducing the raw ores on the shelves, Snell began to introduce the neatly stacked metal ingots on the side.

"."

"This is a blood-patterned steel ingot. It is a high-quality steel ingot cast by mixing a certain proportion of bloodstone ore into the iron ingot. It has high strength and toughness and is suitable for forging blunt weapons."

Huh! Isn't this the blood-patterned steel that LaGrei mentioned?
Renn picked up a piece. It was quite heavy, and its density seemed to be only slightly less than that of star iron.

Renn carefully looked at the number of blood-patterned steel ingots stacked together. He found that there were a lot of blood-patterned steel ingots here, about twenty pieces. Based on a rough estimate, if he could buy half of it, it would basically be enough for him to forge. Warhammer used.

"Sir, Sir Snell, can you sell me some of these blood-patterned steel ingots?" Renne said carefully during the break of Snell's introduction.

"This." Snell couldn't help but look embarrassed.

Although he wanted to sell Renne a favor, he had already made arrangements for these blood-patterned steel ingots.

Ren keenly noticed that the other party glanced at Knight Lloyd on the side in a very subtle way.

Obviously, these blood-patterned steel ingots should have been arranged by Knight Lloyd, but before Renne could continue to speak. Just listen to Knight Lloyd saying with a smile: "Since Renne needs it, let Ren use it first. Snell, it doesn't matter if my shield and armor are a few days late."

Ren suddenly understood!

It turns out that these blood-patterned steel ingots are used to forge equipment for Knight Lloyd, no wonder!
Ren had the impression that Knight Lloyd was good at fighting with sword and shield. The few times he saw him, he always held a sword and shield. He seemed to be a knight who paid more attention to defense.

"Thank you, Knight Lloyd. I am currently practicing the hammer technique. I plan to build a war hammer, so I need some blood-patterned steel."

Now that the blood-patterned steel has been obtained, Renn also generously told Lloyd his purpose.

"Huh? Renn, have you been practicing hammer skills recently?" Perez was obviously surprised when he heard this answer.

He had originally planned to discuss the giant bear swordsmanship with Ren after the dinner. Naturally, he was a little puzzled when he heard that Ren had neglected to use his excellent sword skills and instead practiced hammer skills.

"Yes, Perez's teaching will give you more skills. When it comes to real fighting, naturally you will still focus on the big sword." Renn explained with a smile. Naturally, he would not tell his real reason.

At this time, armorsmith Snell said from the side: "Sir Ren, do you need me to contact the hammersmith in the county to help you build your warhammer?"

"Thank you, Mr. Snell, but I have already contacted a friend." Renne declined Snell's kindness.

He was also hoping to learn hammer-making with LaGelei so as to improve his blacksmith professional level. Naturally, he would not choose to go to the county to forge a war hammer.

Before coming, Ren prepared three hundred imperial gold coins, which was almost his entire net worth. After spending a full two hundred and eighty gold coins to buy blood-patterned steel ingots, almost all of it was wiped out at once.

"This is the forging area. Senior blacksmith Basil is currently making a bronze war hammer." Snell continued.

what!
bronze?

Doesn’t that mean the melting point is much lower than that of a hammer?
Ren recalled the chemistry knowledge from his previous life. Although he didn't know the specific melting point, he remembered that the melting point of bronze was definitely less than a thousand degrees, while the melting point of iron was around 1,500 degrees.

The difference is huge.

Renn looked at the 'Scorching Touch' in his Wizard Apprentice (Extraordinary) panel again, and had a preliminary plan in mind!
Due to Ren's preference for the blacksmith shop, he stayed a little longer. Therefore, after finishing the visit to the blacksmith shop, Knight Lloyd suggested going directly to the banquet hall, and Renn naturally agreed.

This trip has already yielded a huge harvest!

Habsburg estate.

The restaurant on the first floor of the castle is brightly lit.

A rectangular dining table at least ten meters long was covered with gorgeous tablecloths, and Knight Lloyd sat on the main seat in the center.

Lane and Perez were sitting at the upper right and upper left positions on both sides of Lloyd respectively.

Except for the three of them, there were no other people dining.

There was a revolving door of maids coming and going.

Although there were only three people dining, since the three of them were extraordinary human knights, they had huge appetites.

Soon, half of the table full of delicacies went into the stomachs of the three of them.

At this time, Knight Lloyd wiped the corners of his mouth with a white napkin and said, "Ren, the last time we were at the Goldsmith Church, the one we saw you demonstrating was the giant bear swordsmanship, right?"

When Ren heard this, his eyes moved slightly, and he knew that the real drama was coming.

Knight Lloyd invited him here, so naturally it couldn't be just a dinner party.

Before coming, Renn had thought about this issue.

Generally speaking, he judged that the other party would ask about the origin of his breathing technique or sword skills, and how long he had learned them.

Of course, there may be overtures, wooing, or other things in the future.

Because if he puts himself in the shoes of Knight Lloyd, he suddenly discovers that the child servant who was still training at the manor a few months ago has suddenly entered the extraordinary world, and he will definitely want to know more about it.

Renn had no intention of hiding the question asked by Lloyd. After all, he had already told Hamilton.

There is a saying that 'when you tell a secret to one person, it means you tell the secret to everyone! '

"Actually, my giant bear breathing technique and giant bear swordsmanship were all learned in the castle." Ren also wiped the corners of his mouth with a white napkin and said with a smile.

Lloyd and Perez looked at each other in confusion, as if to say, how is this possible!
Immediately, the two looked at Ren with burning eyes, waiting for the answer.

Renn didn't intend to show off, and said directly: "It's Miss Claire. She taught me the breathing method and swordsmanship."

"Hahaha!"

"That's it!" Upon hearing this answer, both Lloyd and Perez laughed.

"Perez and I have thought about many possibilities before, but after all, the giant bear swordsmanship is widely spread throughout the empire. I didn't expect that you actually grew up under our eyes." Lloyd smiled helplessly and shook his head. ,road.

"Lord Earl Habs also heard about you, and specially entrusted me to have a chat with you. I would like to ask if you are willing to become a follower of Earl Habs."

"But now it seems that it is too late, Lord Count. You are now Miss Claire's."

Renn smiled and said nothing.

At present, only Ren himself knows that as of now, he and Claire have not signed any type of follower contract.

After Ren told the origin of the breathing method and sword skills, he obviously felt that Knight Lloyd, and his attitude became closer.

Just listen to the other party say: "Ren, you said you are learning the hammer technique recently, how about we communicate after the dinner?"

Ok?
Is there such a good thing?

Send it to your door as your own experience 'NPC'?
Ren couldn't help but beam with joy, and hurriedly agreed: "Of course, that's my honor!"

After some conversation, Ren learned that in addition to being good at one-handed swords, Knight Lloyd was also very skilled in one-handed hammers.

After all, in the battle between knights, whoever can break through the other's 'iron skin' first can be said to have won half the battle.

"Wait a minute, Lloyd, we agreed that Ren and I would first exchange the swordsmanship of the giant bear."

"As for the exchange of hammer skills, let's talk about it later." Teacher Perez, who didn't talk much, suddenly interjected.

what!
Is this a double happiness?

Ren's eyes lit up when he heard this!
He really didn't expect that during the day, Lagre was not willing to be his experience NPC, and now at night, two extraordinary level experience NPCs appeared.

Gee, Habsburg Manor seems to be my blessed place!
I heard Ren say quickly: "Knight Lloyd, Teacher Perez, please stop arguing. We have plenty of time to communicate in the evening."

Renn also added something silently in his mind, 'I hope you two won't be too tired at night.'

After dinner.

Indoor training ground inside the castle.

In the center of the field, Renne and Perez both stood holding stainless steel swords.

In the next second, Renn quickly took a step forward. The sword in his hand drew a semi-circular arc like lightning, and slashed hard towards Perez at a downward slashing angle of 45 degrees!
On the opposite side, Perez made almost the same move and slashed at the same time.

"clang!!"

The harsh sound of gold and iron clashing sounded.

The two quickly separated.

With just one blow, Renne felt that Perez was almost the same as him in terms of strength and was an evenly matched opponent.

Of course, this is without any skills enabled.

Immediately afterwards, the two fought again.

"Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding!"

The two of them were playing faster and faster, and soon, there were only two blurry shadows left on the field, fighting each other quickly.

"clang!!"

After a heavy blow, the two of them were knocked away at the same time.

Neither Renne nor Perez turned on 'Break Limit', nor did they use secret skills. They were just fighting in a regular way.

After all, it wouldn't be a friendly competition if you go all out for the first time.

Renn glanced at the system prompt:
[Your skill Giant Bear Swordsmanship has been improved, experience value +56]

[You have experienced a battle, knight (extraordinary) experience value +17]

Not bad!

Steadily improving.

Do you think the experience value is too little?
It’s safe and can be done multiple times!
With a physique of 18 points, Renn and Perez hardly felt any fatigue after the short competition.

In other words, Rennes can fight in turns.

He takes turns fighting two people by himself!

After watching the competition between Rennes and Perez, Knight Lloyd was a little impatient.

"Ren, how are you? Do you need a rest?"

"No need, Knight Lloyd, then I'll use the warhammer instead!" Renn walked aside and picked up an iron-wood sledgehammer.

"of course."

Upon hearing that Ren really wanted to use the war hammer, Lloyd and Perez were also quite curious.

The purpose of the discussion between Lloyd and Renn is actually very important, which is to understand and evaluate Renn's strength in detail.

Since Renn is willing to show off his hammering skills that he has never shown before, it would be perfect.
-
at the same time.

A luxurious mansion in Meist County.

In the dark underground hall.

The slender knight carrying a 'scythe'-shaped weapon was reporting respectfully: "Master Priest, many nobles have sent news in the past two days, asking us to pay attention to the impact and act in a low-key manner. The events in Goldsmith Town have made them very passive. "

"In addition, the cause of the fiasco in Goldsmith Town has been investigated clearly. According to reliable information, it is still the newly promoted knight Renn who caused it!"

"It is said that the opponent's swordsmanship is extremely talented. It is precisely because of the opponent's superb swordsmanship that Achim, Andrews and others were killed one by one. This has also been confirmed by Baron Alonso."

"Huh? Or Ren?"

"Is it relying on swordsmanship? Then find a suitable time and throw an Iron Maiden doll over to see if it can chop! Haha." A deep laughter came from the shadows.

"Yes! Lord Priest!" After hearing the words of the Lord Priest, a smile appeared on the face of the Scythe Knight under his helmet.
