Chapter 30 Archery Training
  After the meal, Anna shyly said to Ren, "Ren, can you come to the room?"

After staying at Ren's house for a day, Anna still felt a little uncomfortable. It wasn't that Ren's family was not good to her, but that they were too welcoming.

The two came to the room on the second floor.

"Ren, I... I want to go back to my home." Anna lowered her head, closed her fingers together, and held the hem of her skirt tightly.

I don't know why, although Ren is her savior, Anna always feels a little flustered every time she faces Ren, and her heart will beat violently.

"I'm afraid that won't work!" Renn shook his head and refused.

"Ah?! Why is this?" Anna looked at Ren with confusion and surprise. Her mind was in a mess. This was different from the answer she expected. Could it be...
  Just as the girl's thoughts were flying, Ren said solemnly:
  "According to Sheriff Hamilton, the Blackbeard I killed last time is the brother of the boss of the hyena gang in the county. I'm worried that the other party may send someone to investigate the disappearance of his brother!"

"So, during this period of time, it would be better for you to stay here and not go back."

"Ah!" Anna suddenly turned pale.

"Don't worry, I will join the Night Watch after a while." In order to appease Anna's panic, Renn told Anna part of the chat he had in Hamilton's office.

After some explanations, Anna felt a little relieved, her expression became much calmer, she nodded and said:

"Okay then! I will help with whatever I can."

Renn waved his hand and said: "If you are free, you can spend more time with Mint. There is usually no one at home, so she will be very happy to have you by your side."

"Of course that's no problem. Mint is very cute and well-behaved." Speaking of Mint, Anna's eyes narrowed like crescent moons.

"That's enough. Don't worry, the days will get better and better!"

Anna glanced at Ren's determined expression, nodded, and said "yes" heavily.

Although the other person was only a few months older than her, he somehow gave her a sense of reliability. She believed what Ren said!

In the afternoon, on the way to the blacksmith shop, Renn checked out the blacksmith's other core skill, 'Hammer Specialization'. The icon was a flat-headed hammer placed diagonally.

[Hammer Specialization lv1 (passive): When the host uses any hammer weapon, the damage is slightly increased. 】

Ren frowned. He had always learned swordsmanship. Could it be that he had to find a hammer combat skill to learn?

It seems that this project cannot immediately improve his combat effectiveness.

However, this promotion to blacksmith, whether it is the increase in strength or the emergence of active skills, has made Ren very satisfied, especially the 'Blacksmith Power'.

Renn turned the panel to the first page.

Name: Ryan Callan

职业：铁匠lv1（1/100）/民兵lv3（328/500）

Constitution: 6
  Power: 9
  Agility: 8
  Spirit: 8
  Attribute points remaining: 0
  Skill points remaining: 1
  The small text descriptions below the two core skills are also marked with the word lv. Obviously, they can be upgraded with a high probability.

However, Ren noticed that the subscript did not have an experience bar shown in parentheses, which most likely meant that the core skills could not be upgraded through practice, but could only be improved through skill points.

This immediately made Ren frown slightly.

Because this means that the skill points that were not enough are now even more tense.

Renn looked at the remaining skill point on the panel and hesitated again and again, but still didn't click it.

"The Giant Bear Breathing Technique is currently in its second form, and the progress is not slow, but when it comes to the third form, it will take much longer."

"I originally wanted to wait until I reached level 3 of the Giant Bear Breathing Technique, and then directly add points to upgrade it to level 4. Because the improvement of the breathing technique can bring about an overall improvement in physical fitness, and it is very cost-effective."

"But now that there are core skills that can't be improved through practice, it's a little nerve-wracking."

While thinking about this problem, Ren walked towards the blacksmith shop.

"Furthermore, judging from this trend, the gap in skill points is likely to become larger and larger in the future."

"As for the solution."

"Either we can find a way to trigger more professions, but the uncertainty about this is currently very high. The previous one-week training of greyhounds was thought to be able to trigger new profession panels such as dog trainers or animal trainers. But it didn't show up in the end." "Then the only thing I can control now is to continue to upgrade the professional level of the blacksmith or militia."

After thinking for a moment, Ren's goal gradually became clear. When he came to the blacksmith shop again, he rekindled his enthusiasm and began to learn to forge horseshoes with blacksmith Boris.

After continuing to study throughout the afternoon, Ren gradually became more comfortable in making horseshoes, while blacksmith Boris was doing less and less.

This can't help but make Boris look at Renn with admiration. He didn't expect this kid to have such a good blacksmith talent!

Unfortunately, after an afternoon of 'struggle', the blacksmith's professional level only increased by 5 points, and is currently blacksmith lv1 (5/100).

It seems that after being promoted to blacksmith, some of the original forging output can provide less and less experience points.

As the sky grew dark, Renn left the blacksmith shop and walked towards the Habsburg Manor.

After returning to the boy servants' dormitory, Ren and George chatted briefly before falling asleep.

Early the next morning, as part of the new week's training, the child servants needed to undergo archery training, and the manor's senior guard Humbert was still responsible for teaching archery.

As one of the Habsburg manor guard assessments, swordsmanship and archery are both compulsory subjects to learn.

A group of child servants came to the northwest corner of the Habsburg Fortress. They saw ten archery targets neatly erected here, and in the awning next to it, there were training targets of different sizes and sizes. Use a bow.

Ren took a closer look and found that there were short bows, war bows and long bows over one and a half meters long.

"Today, we have archery training. Everyone, go to the rain shed to get a bow suitable for your strength and a quiver." Professor Humbert said in a deep voice with his hands behind his back.

As soon as the teacher finished speaking, the servants swarmed to the awning and began to select.

Most of the child servants chose short bows because of their limited strength.

However, many of the pseudo-second generations were taller and stronger, so they chose normal-sized war bows.

Renn also chose a war bow, but the weight was deliberately chosen to be slightly weaker, which was about a mid-weight war bow.

Otherwise, based on his current actual strength, Renn could actually choose the highest-pound war bow here.

He glanced at Ren with thick eyebrows and saw that he actually chose a war bow that weighed more than him. He couldn't help but snorted and thought to himself: "That shouldn't be the case. Ren, this kid, should be weaker than me!" "

However, he did not sneer at Renne. Instead, his face darkened, he turned around and left.

It seemed that he remembered that very unpleasant fighting experience.

Thinking of that fight, Nongmei felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach again, and cursed in his heart: "You're on horseback! What the hell is Drunkard Jack doing? A week has passed, and now he can't even be found." "

"But, I think Drunkard Jack must have been fooling around somewhere!"

"Because a similar thing happened before. After making money, this bastard stayed with a widow for half a month. He was kicked out only after the last penny was emptied from him."

The thick eyebrow shook his head angrily, feeling extremely regretful that he actually paid the full amount in advance when he chose Drunkard Jack that day!
  This bastard is so unreliable!

Renn is naturally very eager for archery, but currently it is impossible for him to invest his precious skill points in archery.

So at the end of the day, although Ren was very serious, his archery skills showed little improvement. There was just an icon for basic archery level 1 (8/100) on the original militia panel.

After all, Rome was not built in a day. It takes a lot of practice to shoot accurately with a bow and arrow.

This made Humbert, who was originally looking forward to Renne, have a trace of disappointment in his eyes.

However, this made Nongmei, who was very anxious at first, very happy.

Because archery is one of the required components of the guard assessment, Renn's poor archery skills will greatly drag down the overall score during the guard assessment.

In comparison, with his second-ranked swordsmanship plus his first-ranked archery, the total score will inevitably exceed Renn.

This is sure!
