Chapter 74 Turning Passivity into Initiative
  If he could compete with Renne before, but this time after watching the demonstration between Professor Humbert and Renne, the thought of competing with Renne in the thick eyebrows was completely gone.

Is this a swordsman genius? !
  How despairing!
  Nongmei's heart is filled with deep disappointment at this moment!
  In the following sparring session, Renn was uninterested.

Obviously, sparring with child servants, no child servant can bring him an increase in basic swordsmanship experience.

If he wanted to gain experience points in basic swordsmanship relatively quickly, unless Professor Humbert came to be his sparring partner in person, but thinking of the instructor's evasive eyes before, Ren knew that he could not force others to do anything.

For the first time, Renn also felt that the child servant training that could greatly improve his strength has now gradually failed to keep up with his progress and has gradually become "useless".

So, finding a gap in practice, Renn walked towards his instructor Humbert and asked softly: "Teacher, can I go practice archery?"

Since the swordsmanship and archery lessons were taught by Humbert, Humbert almost did not hesitate and nodded immediately: "Okay! Renn, you can go to the shooting range over there to practice."

After all, he also knew that except for him, the other boy servants could no longer cope with anyone who could compete with Ren in swordsmanship.

But he can't go off to practice in person, what if
  Do you want this face anymore?
  To put it bluntly, it no longer makes sense for Ren to take this kind of basic swordsmanship training.

Archery, on the other hand, is still Ren's 'shortcoming'.

Humbert fully supports this.

Ren was immediately overjoyed and said, "Thank you Humbert for teaching me."

He also had the idea of ​​giving it a try, but he didn't expect Professor Humbert to agree so readily.

So, under the surprised gazes of all the child servants, Ren ended his basic swordsmanship training ahead of schedule and went alone to the shooting range not far away for archery training.

Renn was deeply impressed by the archery skills of the elite Night Watchmen.

The dense and accurate rain of arrows killed the evil-finned murloc with high efficiency.

Since he was reluctant to spend his precious skill points on basic archery, Ren now had to spend some time and energy to practice archery seriously on his own.

After choosing a war bow with a draw weight of almost 100 pounds, Renn began to practice on the wooden target.

After Renn's various attributes have been improved, it is obvious that it is also beneficial to archery training.

A war bow of this weight may make an ordinary guard fire the bow twenty or thirty times in a row, and his arm will be very sore and numb, making it difficult to pull it. However, with the improvement of his physique and strength, Renn seems to be eating and drinking. After more than a hundred times, you will take a short rest.

The further improvement of the spirit will bring about a certain increase in the sensitivity of perception. When Ren practices archery, it is obvious that he hits the bullseye more times than before.

In particular, the system prompts that came one after another were the source of Ren's motivation.

[You have undergone basic archery training, and your relevant understanding has improved! 】

[Your skill basic archery is improved, experience value +1]

Fortunately, although the shooting range is also in the outer fort, it is in the northwest corner of the outer fort. It is two to three hundred meters away from the central area where the servants are, so it cannot be seen clearly.

Otherwise, Humbert and all the servants would be shocked.

After half a day, my basic archery skills improved significantly, reaching level 2 (18/300).

Sure enough, physical fitness is the basis for practicing all combat skills.

Once your physical fitness improves, you will learn everything much faster.

When his physical fitness improved a little or two before, he couldn't feel it, but this time after his physical fitness improved in all aspects, Renn felt extremely obvious.

At noon that day, Lane, George and other child servants came to the servants' dining room of the manor.

However, when Ren faced the boy's lunch in front of him again, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. A large plate of mashed potatoes, two thin slices of marinated pork, and a large bowl of vegetable soup were completely insufficient for his body's nutritional needs.

Previously, the intensity of training could not keep up. Now I can’t even keep up with nutrition.

"The current child servant training is really of little use to me!"

As for archery, I believe there should be corresponding training venues at the Night Watch.

As for the blacksmith, if it is just about making daily iron tools, blacksmith Boris should be able to learn it. It just costs more tuition, but the advantage is freedom.

"Ren, why don't you eat?" George on the side couldn't help but asked when he saw Ren, who was in a daze.

"Nothing." Ren shook his head and started to take a few bites, then stopped.

In the afternoon, Renn still conducted archery training alone. When the child servant training was over, Renn first said hello to Professor Humbert and George. The general message was that there was something at home and he had not participated in the child servant training recently.

Then I found a maid and asked her to help contact the head maid Xia Diya.

Not long after, Ren saw Xia Diya again.

She saw that the other party was still wearing the same black maid uniform that had not changed for thousands of years and had a serious expression. However, when she saw Ren, who had obviously become taller and stronger, her face softened a little. She smiled slightly, nodded and said:
  "Ren, you have grown taller and stronger. It seems that you have practiced the breathing method that Miss left for you very seriously. It is very good."

"By the way, are you here because you ran out of black tung oil?"

Ren shook his head and said: "Thank you, head maid, for your affirmation. I came here to tell you that I do not plan to participate in the future maid training."

"I think I can practice the Giant Bear Breathing Technique and the Giant Bear Sword Technique at home, which may give me more freedom."

The head maid Xia Diya thought for a moment and understood Ren's concerns, nodded and said:
  "Indeed, since Miss Claire left, it might be more convenient for you to practice at home."

After Ren informed the head maid Xia Diya, he quickly came to the kennel. He planned to pick up a greyhound puppy and take it home.

Without much thought, Renn handed over three silver coins to claim the greyhound puppy he had teased before.

Of course, there are differences between greyhounds and greyhounds, such as bloodline, body shape, etc.

But the strength of ordinary dogs doesn't mean much to Renn.

His main purpose of adopting the dog was to try out some of the recipes and potions recorded in the 'Animal Taming Diary', and to see if it was possible to trigger a new career panel.

In this case, there is no need to go through so much trouble to carefully select, the greyhound puppy that you are familiar with is fine.

So, under the setting sun, Ren left the manor with the puppy in his arms and walked towards Goldshire.

On the other hand, because the 'Poison Blade' did not return or submit a mission report within the specified time limit for completing the mission, the Wilderness Brotherhood soon realized that the mission was likely to have failed.

Since this was a task assigned by a big shot in the county, the Wilderness Brotherhood urgently arranged for additional personnel to re-gather intelligence on the target person, Lane.

Soon, they found out some surprising news.

This originally ordinary farm boy actually obtained a junior bounty hunter license, and judging from the time and date, it was before the 'Poison Blade' took over the mission.

People who can obtain a bounty hunter license are most likely to have more than just the militia level, and may very well have reached the level of a first-level knight squire, or even higher, there is also the possibility of reaching a second-level knight squire.

If this is the case, it is not surprising that the 'Poison Blade' accidentally capsized in the gutter.

So, the problem was found.

It wasn't that their Wilderness Brotherhood was too incompetent, but that the intelligence was inaccurate, causing them to lose a carefully trained killer!
  All of a sudden, the Wilderness Brotherhood turned from passive to active.
