The wizard starts by trimming the donkey's hooves

Chapter 143 The sudden spur wheel (two chapters in one)

Ren thought for a while, then merged into the crowd, and slowly started to check it himself.

Although there were many stalls in the Bat Market, Renn did not dare to buy easily.

Perhaps, the items on the stalls are more affordable and high-quality, but it requires a pair of well-informed eyes that can discern authenticity.

At present, Rennes still does not have it.

Fortunately, there are also many formal shops along the street. From the various signboards hanging on the top of the shops, it is not difficult for Ren to distinguish the main business of each store.

Relatively speaking, these formal stores with fixed locations should have better credit.

Renn observed several stores in succession, and finally found a pharmacy with a relatively large traffic volume, with herbs, beakers and test tubes painted on the sign at the door, and walked in.

The tellers inside were three teenage boys with bright eyes, two of whom were receiving customers.

Seeing Ren come in, the idle boy stepped forward and greeted warmly: "Sir, welcome to Patricia Pharmacy. What do you need?"

"Then this is the only one, 0.2 fluid ounces, priced at 5 gold and 6 silver." The boy took out another thumb-sized bottle from the cabinet behind him.

Just now, Renn purchased all the raw materials for the mutant growth potion at once, such as golden sunflowers, wings of nocturnal vampire bats, claws of scavenger wolves, etc.

I just don’t know if this is innate or the result of practicing basic meditation methods.

While the boy was preparing the materials that Ren needed, Ren also looked around the room.

Looking at the bottle the boy took out this time, Ren nodded.

"Sir, this bottle is a hallucinogenic potion, and this bag is a corresponding amount of medicine. Once injected, the hallucinogenic potion can be quickly volatilized to form a hallucinogenic poisonous gas." The boy introduced.

Renn couldn't detect it before, but now with the improvement of his mental power, Renn can basically judge from the other person's mental state and appearance that the mental power of the little boy is beyond that of ordinary adult men.

"Are there any golden sunflowers?"

After all, the advantages of superb mental power are obvious when it comes to preparing potions. Whether it is the control of the quality of materials or the delicacy of various operating techniques, it is very beneficial.

Renn did not ask, but waited for the boy to take the initiative to introduce. After all, the secret would be revealed as soon as he opened his mouth. In a strange place, it is not too cautious to be cautious.

It turned out to be the case.

Ren was still thinking that if this hallucinogenic potion was like gas, it would evaporate as soon as it was opened. In that case, it would be quite troublesome for him to put it in an emerald ring.

In addition, the production of some potions is obviously not available to ordinary people, such as advanced potions.

Ren had just calculated the cost. After conversion, even if it was successfully produced at one time, the cost per unit fluid ounce of mutant growth potion would be close to 12 imperial gold coins.

Of course, even if the finished potion is made, it will not be used on Ren himself, but on 'Cookie'.

This was similar in size to the bottle he found on Endri. It should be about the same size as the emerald ring.

When Ren came out of the pharmacy, he was already carrying the big bag.

This can't help but remind Ren of the so-called master pharmacist in the Royal Apothecary Society. His identity is probably not that simple, and he is most likely not an ordinary person.

The little boy was obviously stunned. He didn't understand why the customer wanted to buy 5 small bottles. Obviously, it was more cost-effective to buy a large bottle.

But obviously, the other person cannot be treated as an ordinary little boy.

"Okay, sir."

After all, it's the same size but cheaper.

"Price?" Ren En said concisely.

"Um, sir, yes." The little boy looked at Ren with a slightly surprised look.

Part-time job as a pharmacist?
It’s too expensive upfront!

In addition, without adding skill points, Renn doesn't know what his success rate is.

"Yes, sir"

"I want a smaller portion." Renn glanced at the square bottle in the other person's hand. It was obviously much larger than the bottle found on Endri at that time.

Ren glanced down. When he thought that such expensive materials would all be used to feed the dogs, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

Renn was surprised to find that he seemed to have seen many potions in the merit redemption book.

"Is there any hallucinogenic gas?" Although the other party was just a little boy, Renn did not underestimate the other party and directly mentioned the poison gas that Endri used in the last battle.

The boy took out a bottle of dark liquid from behind the counter, and a small package of paper-wrapped items, which seemed to contain a powdery substance.

Unexpectedly, there is such a thing as medicine.

"There are some." The little boy was obviously a little nervous. He guessed that the gentleman in front of him was probably a pharmacist specializing in negative energy. You know, many pharmacists in this direction have bad tempers. .

"One fluid ounce of hallucinogenic potion costs 1 imperial gold coins."

But the little boy glanced at Renn and obviously didn't dare to ask in detail.

This cost 120 imperial gold coins, which suddenly cost nearly one-third of the 500 imperial gold coins that Ren had just acquired.

If you think about it carefully, the empire's strength is unfathomable, and what he only saw was the tip of the iceberg!
"Okay, sir, we have all the materials you need." The boy respectfully placed a black linen bag on the counter and said to Ren.

"What about the wings of a nocturnal vampire bat?"

Considering the probability of failure and the need to continue taking the medicine for three months, Lane purchased 10 portions of the raw materials at one time.

"Five bottles, please."

After purchasing the materials needed for the plan, Ren was in a good mood.

Since he came to the Bat Market, he also planned to wander around to understand the situation and see if there were any books related to witchcraft that he could buy.

Soon, he saw many vendors setting up stalls selling various unknown herbs and raw materials.

From time to time, customers would stop, look at the materials carefully, and chat in low voices with the stall owner.

Ren tried once. He pretended to stop to check the materials and wanted to eavesdrop, but when the other party saw Ren also stopped, he immediately became silent.

However, Renn is not depressed either.

He had expected this. If this bat market was originally a place for wizard apprentices to gather and exchange supplies, then it is obvious that most of the customers here are wizard apprentices.

Even a first-level wizard apprentice's mental power is far beyond that of ordinary people. How could he be easily eavesdropped by Ren?

After walking around, Ren discovered that the Bat Market was actually not very big, only a hundred meters in front and back, about the size of a street.

In addition, the things sold here are also strange. There are eyeballs of certain creatures, lizard-like stems and various strange plants. Most of them are unknown to Ren.

Therefore, it is natural for Ren to not be able to find anything good here.

At the same time, regarding the witchcraft that he wanted to collect more, Ren searched around and couldn't find a shop that sold witchcraft alone. However, he did see ancient books similar to those that Jenny brought in a few grocery stores.

At first, Ren was quite excited, but after just flipping through two pages, he discovered that these ancient books were either pure travel notes, or incomplete diaries of a certain wizard apprentice. There were too many missing pages, making it completely impossible to read. .

This can't help but make Ren a little disappointed.

In addition, the other party's quotation also left Ren very speechless. These ancient books written in Akkadian cost three to five hundred gold coins, and the incomplete diary of the wizard's apprentice cost nine hundred imperial gold coins.

After looking at the time, Ren decided to return to the Crowley family mansion first.

When Ren came out of the Bat Market and entered the carriage, the coachman couldn't help but asked curiously:
"Sir, shall we return now?"

"Yes."

"By the way, sir, why did you stay in the bakery for so long? The bakers in the master's kitchen are much better than those in the bakeries on the market." The coachman hesitated for a moment and then said.

Ren was stunned when he heard this.

What he saw was obviously a fortune telling shop, not a bakery. Could it be that
For a moment, Renn seemed to have thought of something.

Sure enough, the bat symbol contains some secrets, and it seems that it can only be seen after certain requirements are met.

After thinking about it for a while, Ren felt that this criterion was probably a mental attribute.

There is a high probability that only when a person's spiritual attributes reach a certain level can he see the bat symbol and the door of the divination shop and enter the market.

If you are an ordinary person, you may not be able to see the bat symbol at all, and naturally you will not be able to find a way to enter the bat market.

Ren nodded slightly, thinking to himself that this automatic screening mechanism is quite good.

Just as Ren was riding a carriage on his way back to the Crowley family mansion.

The county town of Meister.

Inside the residence of Baron Norman's family.

With the help of the divine blood, Dennis, who has reached the level of a quasi-knight, is currently trying on the dress with the help of his servants.

He looked at his handsome self in the bronze mirror and was very satisfied.

Later, he will attend the Crowley family dinner.

The theme of the dinner was to celebrate the addition of a Guardian Knight to the Crawley family.

Although Dennis didn't know where the Crowley family had invited an official knight to be their family's guardian knight, he didn't really care about it.

Because he knew that the biggest problem of the Crowley family was that they could not find a suitable person to marry. After all, no official knight would choose to marry into the family.

Dennis has also begun to prepare advanced potions, which could take as soon as one month or as slowly as three months. Dennis also plans to achieve transcendence.

As long as he becomes a formal knight, he is almost certain to win the marriage with the Crowley family.

That Miss Janey, in Dennis' heart, was far inferior to Baroness Crawley, that beautiful widow.

Thinking of that plump woman, Dennis couldn't help but have a few more charming thoughts in his heart.

Although the other party is not as important as Claire in his heart, it is still more than enough as a short-term spiritual sustenance.

As for Tina, her status is a little too low, and to be honest, Dennis is a little bored.

At this time, the door to his room was suddenly pushed open. Just when Dennis was about to scold him, "Which servant is so uneducated?" Baron Norman walked in wearing a hunting suit.

"Dennis, your dinner schedule can be cancelled."

"What?" Dennis was stunned when he heard this, and he was a little confused for a moment.

"The Crowley family's newly appointed guardian knight is Renn."

"Ren? But I don't know a knight named Renn." Dennis frowned and thought, but he still didn't react. In Dennis' mind, he still didn't equate Ren with an official knight.

"That's the farmer's son from Goldshire, Ren." Baron Norman said in a deep voice.

"What, Ren, a pariah, has already reached transcendence and become an official knight?"

Hearing the news from his father, Dennis was beyond surprised. His eyes suddenly widened twice. His mouth was so wide that he could almost stuff an entire apple into it.

After being stunned for a while, Dennis came back to his senses and asked: "Father, shouldn't he be dead?"

At this point, Dennis remembered that there were servants around and immediately stopped talking.

Baron Norman waved his hand, and immediately, the two maids who were helping Dennis put on the dress immediately left the room.

At this moment, there were only Baron Norman and his son in the room.

"The news just came from Black Sail yesterday. Because they did not find a suitable opportunity to attack Goldsmith Town, Phil Kratz failed to kill Renn." Baron Norman explained.

"The damn Black Sail Pirates are so dishonest! If they had killed Ren as agreed, this wouldn't have happened." Dennis said angrily.

"You can't blame the Black Sail pirate group. I have understood the situation. Black Sail and the other pirate groups have some kind of agreement with the Black Flame Church, and that's why they decided to attack several small towns at the same time."

"However, I heard that the Sheriff of Goldsmith Town, Hamilton, severely damaged the Black Flame Church who made a sneak attack a few days ago. This should be the reason why the Black Sail Pirates did not continue to attack Goldsmith Town."

"However, Dennis, as you said, the other party's progress is too fast, a bit abnormal." Baron Norman thought for a while and continued.

"It seems that we have to deal with each other as soon as possible!"

"After all, it will be a lot more troublesome to kill Ren after he passes the canonization exam and becomes an official noble of the empire."

"Once a formal noble dies abnormally, it will be difficult for the investigative force sent by the empire to handle it."

"Father, are you finally going to take action yourself?" Dennis' eyes lit up and he looked at Norman expectantly.

You know, his father has been an invincible presence in his heart since he was a child.

He firmly believed that as long as his father was willing to take action personally, that Renn would never survive tomorrow.

"No." Baron Norman shook his head and said.

"I have to find an old friend for help."

The county town of Meister.

Inside the bat market.

A tall customer wearing a black robe came to a shop with signs of stars, moon and sun hanging on the door.

"Old friend, long time no see!" Baron Norman took off his hood, smiled, and greeted warmly.

"Hey! Norman, you are a rare visitor. Why did you want to come to my place today?"

In the shadows at the other end of the room, an old man with gray hair wearing a black robe raised his eyebrows and looked at the sudden appearance of Baron Norman in surprise.

The boy serving on the side was very discerning and immediately hung a temporary closure sign at the door and closed the door.

"Old friend, I came to you this time to ask you to take action." Norman sat opposite the gray-haired old man and said seriously.

"Norman, you know, I haven't made a move for a long time."

"Of course, Adams, as one of the rare wizard apprentices who specializes in spells, I know the price for you." Norman said in a deep voice.

"This is the goal. I hope you can solve each other as soon as possible."

Norman handed a thin file to the old man.

After returning to the Crowley family mansion, Renn wore a silver-gray chrome knight's plate armor and ended the appointment ceremony amidst the crowd's onlookers and applause.

Immediately afterwards, there was a dinner party for drinking and bonding.

However, at this time, all Ren could think about was going home early. After all, he had a lot of things waiting to be done, such as forging a blood-patterned steel war hammer and improving the blacksmith's professional level.

Also, get familiar with the production process of mutated growth potion.

Although Renn has purchased all the raw materials and understands the production process written in Akkadian, he still needs to study it carefully before actual production.

So, Ren hurriedly attended to the dinner, and under the resentful eyes of Baroness Crowley and Janey, left first and returned to his home in Goldshire.

But before leaving, Jenny told Renn some good news, that is, her best friend Agatha also seemed to have ancient books written in spiritual script (Akkadian).

But Agatha had no way to take the precious ancient books out of the family library.

It seems that the only feasible way is for Ren to follow Jenny and read through the library on the spot. Agatha promises that this can still be done.

Ren immediately said that there was no problem, and tentatively decided to go to the Wiggins family where Agatha lived with Jenny in three days.

On the carriage back to Goldshire, Renn thought quietly.

His current thoughts are also very clear.

At present, he is on the right track on the road to becoming a knight, and he can continue to improve step by step.

But if he only has the means of a knight, when he faces all kinds of strange enemies in this world, his method of dealing with them is still too simple.

Not to mention anything else, as for Endri, as long as the other party's mental power was higher and he could perform one or two more low-level witchcrafts, then Renne and Hamilton were in the Elim Mine at the time, and they would have been unable to survive. Walk.

In addition, for example, the Black Flame Apostle, whose body is like rubber and can suddenly elongate, if Renn does not grasp the opponent's weakness and simply relies on slashing with the big sword, he will not be able to defeat the opponent at all.

It can be said that if it weren't for Renn, any other senior knight would probably be furious on the spot!

On the other hand, it is obvious that the Black Flame Cult does not have just one master at the apostle level, or in other words, there should be people or means stronger than the apostle level on the other side.

Therefore, Renn believes that by quickly upgrading other professional panel levels, such as blacksmith and dog trainer, a certain amount of skill points and attribute points can be accumulated, thereby improving the combat effectiveness of the wizard apprentice.

After all, Renn was amazed by the power of the basic contact witchcraft - 'Scorching Touch'.

As for witchcraft, Renn believed that he could eventually find some by constantly collecting.

Therefore, it is not contradictory to prepare skill points in advance.

After returning home, Ren found that it was already ten o'clock.

After thinking about it, Ren decided to contact LaGrei to build the warhammer tomorrow. After sorting out the newly purchased materials today, he started practicing the unshakable giant bear breathing method and basic meditation method every day.

As soon as the training was over, Ren quickly fell asleep.

Suddenly, Ren, who had just fallen asleep, suddenly woke up.

Just now, his level 3 danger perception reminded him that danger seemed to be approaching.

This made Ren immediately stand up to check. When he looked through the window, he saw the mist slowly rising over the entire Goldsmith Town.

At first glance, it seemed normal for mist to appear on the night of the Frost Moon, but Ren was keenly aware that the mist turned out to be a faint black color, and quickly became thicker at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This immediately made Ren's heart tremble.

Immediately, he began to put on the chrome knight's plate armor, and carried the shimmering giant sword and bronze war hammer behind his back.

Just when Ren was fully armed, he saw that the fog around the window was so thick that he couldn't see beyond ten meters.

There's something wrong with this fog!

At the same time, the sense of danger in Renn's heart became stronger and stronger.

After thinking about it, Ren quickly walked to his sister Mint's room, picked up Mint who was still sleeping and carried her downstairs.

I saw him quickly knocking on the door of his parents' room.

"dong dong dong"

"Who is it?" Mother Emma's lazy voice sounded, while father Ryan Sr. was sleeping deeply and snoring at the moment.

"It's me, mother, Wren."

"Huh?" Emma opened the door and was startled when she saw Ren, who was fully armed. She, who was originally sleepy, suddenly woke up.

"Ren, what are you doing?" Emma's mother's eyes suddenly widened, and she looked at Ren with her sister in her arms in surprise.

"Mother, wake up father. Also, take care of Mint."

"There's something wrong with the fog around you. Hide in your room and don't come out." After handing the mint to his mother Emma, ​​Renn pointed to the thick, almost black fog outside the window and said.

Emma looked at it and felt something was wrong.

Because the mist at this moment seemed like tentacles that were constantly changing, seeping into the cracks in the door and windows.

Moreover, these strange mist actually appear to be a faint black color.

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

I saw a pair of huge iron spur wheels with a diameter of one meter, rotating at high speed, directly piercing the wall on the side of the kitchen and cutting quickly.

How could the structure of the Rennes' house withstand such an intense attack? Suddenly, two big holes were exposed, with mud flying and smoke flying everywhere!
"Ah!!" Mother Emma suddenly screamed in horror.

"Quick, hide!" Renn pushed his mother Emma and quickly locked the door.

Immediately afterwards, Ren took off the shimmering giant sword he was carrying and rushed out of the door.

Although there was thick fog outside, fighting in a cramped house was not conducive to Renn's ability to use his two-handed weapons.

In addition, Ren also wants to see what is attacking!

Due to the enemy's high-speed rotating sting wheel, the thick fog was stirred up, and an area was immediately cleared, allowing Renn to basically see the enemy's appearance clearly.

Ren's pupils suddenly shrank.

What kind of monster is this horse riding on?

What seemed to be in front of him was a giant metal girl doll that was made entirely of metal and was nearly three meters tall.

The strange thing is that the opponent's head is like a girl with closed eyes tied with twin ponytails, her lower body is in the shape of a long cylindrical skirt with a small top and a large bottom, and there are two high-speed rotating rollers burning black flames on the soles of her feet. .

The hinged ends of the two arms, which replace the palms, are the high-speed rotating metal spurs that just attacked the wall of Ren's house.

"Hot wheels on your feet and twin tails on your head?"

Ren was shocked!
