The wizard starts by trimming the donkey's hooves

Chapter 5 Skill Improvement

As noon approached, suddenly, a different prompt appeared in the system:

[You assisted in nailing horseshoes, and your related understanding has improved! 】

[You have learned a new skill - horseshoeing]

[Your skill of nailing horseshoes is improved, experience value +1]

Huh! Renn immediately turned the transparent frame to the second page, which was the career panel page of the blacksmith apprentice.

In the dense skill map, except for a hoof trimming icon that was lit up, at this moment, an icon was lit up again in the position opposite to it.

Nail horseshoe lv1 (1/100).

This icon is very simple. It is an inverted U-shaped horseshoe pattern. Seven small holes can be clearly seen on the horseshoe.

The other icons on the career panel are still obscure.

"Could it be said that after a period of serious study, career-related skills can be triggered to light up, and then you can improve your skill level through continuous practice?"

"At present, it seems that this should be the case!"

The new discovery made Ren devote himself wholeheartedly to the study of nailing horseshoes. Even the reappearance of the aristocratic girl in the middle of the outer castle field did not make him raise his head to take a second look.

While having lunch, his best friend George looked at Renn strangely and said:

"Ren, I found that you have changed!"

These words immediately shocked Renn. Could it be that as his former friend, the other party had noticed something was wrong with him?
  Just listen to George continue:

"Ren, why do you work like you've been injected with chicken blood?"

"When it comes to trimming donkey hooves and nailing horseshoes, you won't stop until you can't do it anymore."

Renn was immediately relieved, it turned out to be this one!

I thought to myself: "That's because you don't have a golden finger! Otherwise, George, you might be more diligent than me."

"Haha, maybe I suddenly enlightened! Now I know the importance of learning a craft." Ren said with a smile.

"Really?" George glanced at Renn suspiciously.

He always felt that his best friend had changed somewhere, but he couldn't tell what had changed!
  However, Lane said that knowing the importance of learning a trade, George still agreed.

Although George's family background is not that good, his parents are both landed freemen and have a stable source of income, so his conditions are much better than Ren's.

Unlike Ren's family, his father is a farmer who works for the manor, and his mother does not have a stable source of income. In addition, there is a younger sister in the family.
  Therefore, Ren is more eager to learn a craft than he is, and he understands it very well.

After finishing lunch, the boy servants took a short rest and then continued to follow Baer to learn how to nail horseshoes.

Horseshoeing can attract the attention of many boys at first, but after getting a little familiar with it, the pseudo-second-generation people become a little impatient. After all, their goal is to be a guard, and it doesn't matter whether they learn horseshoeing or not.

Soon, the pseudo-second generation people started chatting in various ways.

At this time, Renn understood the external situation, so he immediately pricked up his ears and listened.

"Hey, have you heard? It's been really uneasy recently. I heard that a group of ferocious pirates have landed." Nongmei opened his mouth and broke the big news.

"Pirates? Although our Goldsmith Town is not far from the seaside, it is still a long way away, right? What does the landing of pirates have to do with us?" Freckles asked in return.

"I don't know. I heard from Billy, the caravan guard who just came to Goldsmith Town to deliver goods, that a group of pirates named Black Sail came ashore. They seem to be afraid to attack the county and mainly attack nearby towns. I heard that the fishing port town closest to the sea suffered heavy losses, and even the town’s sheriff died in the battle." Nongmei continued.

"No! A quasi-knight is usually the only person who can serve as a small town sheriff? Are pirates so powerful?!" the baker's child asked in shock.

"Yes, the Black Sails pirates are very powerful! Moreover, I also heard that the Sheriff of our town, Mr. Kuzma, will be transferred to Fishing Port Town as the Sheriff. In addition, it is said that the new Sheriff in our town will It’s an adult who was transferred from the county town.”

"It seems to be called Mr. Hamilton? I can't remember clearly, it must be this name."

Freckles agreed, and revealed another big news by the way. Ren on the side listened in agreement, and he was indeed a well-informed person.

"Hey! You also heard the news. It seems to be true!" Thick eyebrows nodded to Freckles.

"By the way, Fishing Port Town seems to be not far from our Gold Flash Town. It seems to be only two days away. Do you think pirates will attack our town?" Freckles continued to ask worriedly.

"Don't worry, pirates usually retreat after plundering the seaside, and they won't go deep, otherwise they wouldn't be called pirates." Thick Eyebrow said with relief.

It’s a lot of information to hear at once! pirate? Sheriff killed in battle? New Sheriff?

Ren was stunned when he heard this. He didn't notice that he almost couldn't hold down the horse's hoof in his hand. Master Baer asked with great concern:
  "Ren, if you're too tired, just take a rest first."

In the past two days, Renn's enthusiasm for learning was very high, and his talent was also very good. Barr saw it and his perception of Renn became much better.

Diligence can always inadvertently change the way people around you view a person!
  "It's okay, I can hold on for a while longer."

Renn shook his head and rejected Barr's kindness.

"Every chance you get to improve your skills, you must seize it, otherwise you will be wasting your golden finger."

However, Renne was still a little touched by the pirate incident.

The world doesn't seem so stable.

You must seize the time to become stronger!

As a result, George found that his best friend Lane seemed to be more enthusiastic about work than yesterday.

At the end of the day, I hardly took much rest. I kept helping to press the horseshoes, and then stared at the process of Master Baer nailing the horseshoes.

This kind of enthusiasm for learning is simply incomprehensible!
  After working on horseshoeing for two consecutive days, at this moment, Ren was looking at the skill - hoof trimming lv1 (99/100) in trance.

"It seems that today I can improve my hoof trimming skills to the next level."

"I just don't know what will happen after upgrading to level 2?"

Renn didn't have to wait long, after he watched Baal trimming a horseshoe until it was extremely smooth.

The long-awaited system prompt finally appears!

[You assisted in nailing horseshoes, and your related understanding has improved! 】

[Your skill hoof trimming has been improved, experience value +1]

[Congratulations, your hoof trimming skill has been upgraded to lv2]

Looking at the hoof trimmer lv2 (1/300).

Suddenly, Ren felt as if he had a different understanding of the job of hoof trimming.

It seemed that there were some fragmented memories in my mind, as if I had been trimming my hooves for several months.

When Ren looked at Bald's horse hoof movements again, he felt that he could see something more clearly.

For example, whenever Barr trims the horse's hoof to its most curved arc, why does his wrist shake so much?

Another example is why Barr gave such a shock when he used a shovel to remove the excess part of the horse's hoof.

Everything was so natural, so easy, he knew it.

Ren had a feeling that although his strength still hadn't increased, he seemed to be able to start trimming hoofs.

He can't even do the full set of horseshoeing.

But he could try hoof trimming.

Although I took the initiative to bring it up with Master Baer now, it seemed a bit out of line. After all, even the fastest-learning boy servants could not repair their hooves independently.

But if you want to gain more experience, the trick is probably to do it yourself!

Ren glanced at the experience bar (1/22) at the bottom right of the words Blacksmith Apprentice Level 100 in the career panel, and secretly thought it was a pity!
  At present, it seems that it is easy to upgrade skills, but it is much more difficult to upgrade professional levels.

He made a preliminary estimate. According to the current progress, it would take at least five days for the blacksmith apprentice's professional level to be improved.

After hesitating for a while, Ren said: "Master Barr, can you let me try to trim the hoof? I think I can do it."

Barr looked at Renne, and after carefully examining Renne's expression, he confirmed that Renne was not joking. He thought of Renne's hard work in the past few days, nodded and said:
  "Okay, then you give it a try."

At this time, all the servants looked at Renn in surprise, and the thought in their minds was, "You've only been studying for a few days, and you know how to do it?!"

Even the pseudo-second generation who were resting aside stopped chatting at this moment and looked at Renn, although their goal was not to become the manor's blacksmith apprentice.

This kind of pretentious behavior is obviously intolerable!
  "What the hell is this brat Ren doing! Wanting to be in the limelight? Mad, you have to give him a good beating tonight!" Thick Eyebrow spat out the grass stems from his mouth and cursed angrily.

"Attract Baal's attention. I hate this kind of flatterer the most! Damn! Educate him well tonight!" Freckles agreed.
