Chapter 29 Core Skills

[It is detected that the conditions for the host to be promoted to blacksmith are: 3. Blacksmith Apprentice Level 6 is at full level; 6. Strength is above points, and Constitution is above points; . Forging ten qualified blacksmith products. All the current conditions are met. Do you want to be promoted to blacksmith? 】

[Note: After being promoted to blacksmith, the new blacksmith career panel will cover the original blacksmith apprentice panel. 】

Obviously, this kind of question does not need to be considered at all, and Renn chose yes without hesitation!

【Ding! Promotion successful! 】

[Promoted to blacksmith successfully! Strength +2! Obtain the core skills of the blacksmith: Blacksmith Power lv1, One-Handed Hammer Specialization lv1. 】

[Blacksmith's Power lv1 (Active): Because the blacksmith works all year round, his strength is different from ordinary people. 】

[Hammer Specialization lv1 (Passive): Since the blacksmith has been working on iron all year round, he is very familiar with hammers of all sizes, and can use them like an arm with his fingers. 】

hiss! Core skills actually appeared?
  Renn was suddenly surprised and happy!

This promotion can really be said to be a qualitative leap!

After telling the blacksmith Boris to go home for lunch and come back in the afternoon, Ren quickly left the blacksmith shop. After walking around the corner of the street, he immediately found a deserted corner and looked at the panel carefully.

I saw that the original blacksmith apprentice panel had disappeared, and the blacksmith panel was displayed instead.

At the same time, the borders of the two brand new icons at the bottom of the panel were slightly lit up. It seemed that from a size perspective, the icons for this core skill were nearly twice as large as the normal skill icons.

Ren first focused his attention on an icon that looked like Popeye showing off his biceps. There was a line of small words below the icon.

[Core Skill: Blacksmith's Power lv1 (Active)]

Blacksmith's Strength lv1 (Active) Effect: After the skill is turned on, your strength will be slightly increased.

(Note: The effect of this skill is increased by a certain proportion based on the host's own strength, and the duration is directly proportional to the host's physical and mental strength.)
  Ren quickly fell into deep thought on the above content!
  The two additional points of strength after being promoted to blacksmith allowed Renn's strength attribute to surpass his previous highest mental attribute and become the highest.

You know, the power of 9 o'clock has greatly surpassed that of ordinary adult men. Even compared with the elite night watchmen under Hamilton's command, it is estimated to be slightly more.

Feeling the sense of power flowing through his body made Ren feel happy.

Before promotion, even if the professional level of blacksmith apprentice or militia was promoted, the first level would only give one free attribute point, but now just by being promoted, Renn directly increased his strength by two points.

The improvement is huge!

At the same time, Ren was quite enthusiastic about this active skill that could further enhance his power - Blacksmith's Power, and wanted to try it right away, but there was nothing suitable around him, and the second movement was too big, which would cause trouble. Unnecessary attention.

Ren thought for a moment and then walked home without even bothering to buy anything. He remembered that there were some scattered large rocks on the roadside home, which he could try his hand at.

Soon, on the way home, Ren looked around and soon found a piece of gravel that was nearly half a person's height not far from the roadside.

So, after Ren looked around again to confirm that no one was there, he eagerly stepped forward.

"rise!"

With 9 points of strength, the heavy gravel that was originally impossible for Ren to move was picked up by him this time. Although it was very difficult to hold it up with a red face, at least it was now held steadily by Ren, half a meter away from the ground.

However, if you want to go one step further and lift two to three hundred pounds of gravel above your head, 9 points of strength is still not enough.

So, Ren focused his thoughts on the power of the blacksmith.

With the release of the skill, suddenly, a warm current suddenly pumped out from his heart, causing the blood in Ren's body to accelerate, causing veins to bulge, and the muscles in his arms and shoulders to bulge.

Renn suddenly lifted the heavy gravel over his head and threw it four to five meters away.

After Ren threw it out, he suddenly felt a sense of relief in his heart!

This is a powerful force that brings confidence and pleasure to a man!
  At this time, Ren glanced at the attribute panel again and saw power: 9 (+1.8). Obviously, the +1.8 in the brackets was the effect of the blacksmith's power, but the duration was not displayed.

Ren stood there quietly, feeling the changes in his body.

After about half a minute, Renn felt the heat in his body gradually dissipate. It seemed that the active skill of Blacksmith's Power could only last for about half a minute. But this has already made Renn overjoyed. There is no doubt that the blacksmith's power is a skill that can be used as a trump card.

Looking at the sun in the west, Ren said to himself, "Oops! I almost missed my lunch time!"

So, regardless of looking at another core skill - hammer specialization, Ren quickly ran home.

As soon as I entered the house, my mother greeted me.

"Why are you going to the blacksmith shop so late again?" Seeing Ren come back sweating profusely, my mother couldn't help but asked in distress.

Ren nodded, took the towel given by his mother, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Just as Ren was still organizing his words and planning to tell his parents about his promise to Hamilton to join the Night Watch, his usually taciturn father suddenly said: "Ren, come here."

Ren was a little surprised, but still followed his father into the room.

I saw my father take out an object wrapped in gray linen from the old bedside table. After slowly opening it, what caught Ren's eyes were two slightly worn imperial gold coins and more than ten silver coins.

After hesitating for a moment, Old Renn picked up the only two imperial gold coins and handed them to Renn.

"Ren, whenever you have free time these days, you go to that guy Boris's blacksmith shop. But it's useless. Unless you can afford the apprenticeship fee, you can't impress that guy with sincerity. Ruthless guy."

"Father, I." Ren was about to say something, but was interrupted by Old Ren waving his hand.

"Listen to me first. I have discussed it with your mother. These two gold coins should be enough for you to learn one or two forging skills from Boris. It may give you some advantages in the manor blacksmith apprenticeship assessment. .”

"The remaining money is still left at home to buy some white bread, meat and eggs for you and Mint, but I can't give it to you anymore. You are all growing, and you need to keep up with your nutrition."

Looking at his father's face that was tanned by the sun, Ren was silent for a moment!

Firmly pushing away the gold coin handed over by his father, Renn raised his head and said:

"Father, you and mother don't need to worry about my future problems anymore."

"I gave the town's newly appointed Sheriff, Mr. Hamilton, important clues about the missing children. Mr. Hamilton promised me that after I complete my child servant training, I can join the Night Watch."

After saying that, in the astonished eyes of old Ren, Ren also took out two brand-new imperial gold coins from his arms and handed them over.

"Father, these two gold coins are Lord Hamilton's reward to me. If I leave the money with you, my family can have better meals three times a day."

Obviously, it was not that Ren was unwilling to give all the gold coins to his family, but that giving too many gold coins could not be explained by just providing clues.

"Oh!"

"Ren, is this true?!"

The mother who stopped to listen at the door could no longer contain her surprise, opened the door and walked in quickly.

"Of course, you see, if you and your father really don't believe me, you can go to the town administration hall and ask Mr. Hamilton directly." Renn shrugged, with a smile on his face.

"Goddess of Luck bless you!" My mother couldn't help but cry with joy. She kept praying and hurriedly wiping her tears.

During lunch, Old Ren had the rare luxury of opening several bottles of rye beer, and he seemed determined to drag Ren to drink two glasses of beer together, which made Anna and Mint look at each other for a while.

Anna seemed aware of it, but was too embarrassed to ask Ren.

"Ren, from now on, you are already a man! Hiccup~ About you and Anna. Hiccup~ You decide for yourself, father supports you! Hiccup~"

"Father, this"

Looking at his father who drank too much, Ren felt embarrassed. He quickly looked at each other and Anna, and the two quickly looked away.

The next second, Anna lowered her head immediately like a panicked bunny, a flush appearing on her fair face.
