The wizard starts by trimming the donkey's hooves

"Huh? Could it be that Mr. Ren, you are a wild person?" Naya's beautiful eyes widened and she covered her mouth with her white hands as she said.

She quickly realized that Renn was most likely a wild wizard apprentice without systematic inheritance.

Ren smiled bitterly and said: "Miss Naya, being too smart is not necessarily a good thing for a lady."

"Ah, I'm sorry, Mr. Ren, please forgive my gaffe. But this really surprised me. I thought you must have a systematic inheritance. Otherwise, how could you have achieved your current mental strength at such a young age? strength."

System inheritance?

There is a system.

The inheritance is gone. Renn cursed a little.

"But don't worry, although we are a family of warlocks, we still understand the process of ordinary wizard apprentices being promoted to wizards."

"Oh? Miss Naya, can you tell me?" Renn raised his brows, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said in a calm tone as much as possible.

"Of course, Sir Ren, you have helped me so much. We are already friends, aren't we?" Naya smiled, revealing a row of snow-white teeth.

"However, if you don't mind, I will start with the wizard qualifications, and then I will talk about the promotion to an official wizard. Do you think this is okay?"

"Of course." Renn couldn't help but smile with joy.

He is very lacking in some knowledge about wizards. Since Naya is willing to talk more, he naturally wants it.

Perhaps, Naya did this on purpose.

It seemed that because he knew that he did not have any wizard heritage, he deliberately planned to explain it in detail. Renn vaguely guessed the other party's intention.

"Wizard qualifications include all aspects, but the type and degree of elemental affinity, mental strength, etc. are all important factors." Naya said eloquently.

After a few minutes, Ren nodded frequently.

As expected of someone who comes from a warlock family, some of the problems that were troublesome to Ren in the past can now be easily answered.

For example, the issue of wizard qualifications.

Naya made it clearer.

At first, Renn thought that the combination of elemental affinity and mental strength, plus at most a basic meditation method learning speed, would be the so-called wizard qualifications.

But now it seems that it is not.

These explicit things are like factors such as the arm span and weight of boxers in previous lives.

Long wingspan can at least be said to be good for boxing talent, but it is only one factor. Boxing talent also includes punching speed, punching impact, reaction speed, etc.

The same goes for wizard qualifications.

Moreover, the level of a wizard's qualifications is like the level of a boxer's talent. It cannot explain who will be more powerful in combat in the future. It can only be said that there is a high probability that a strong person will emerge.

But many times, some hidden things are difficult to judge, such as personal understanding, perception and innovation ability of witchcraft, etc.

Naya smiled lightly, revealing her dimples. She lifted her black hair hanging around her ears and continued:

"As for a wizard apprentice to be promoted to a wizard, he must first clarify his elemental affinity direction. This is related to the choice of solidifying witchcraft model during promotion."

Solidifying the witchcraft model?

Renn was a little confused, this was a new term.

Just when he was about to ask more about this issue, Naya asked:

"Sir Ren, I see that your spiritual power is at least that of a second-level wizard apprentice. You should have already made clear your elemental affinity direction, right?"

"this."

Naya's question made Ren smile sheepishly.

After thinking about it, Ren decided to tell the truth. After all, the other party already knew his situation, so why hide it? So, he said: "Well, I only know that one of my items has a higher affinity to the fire element, and the other item is Not sure anymore.”

Naya was stunned for a moment, smiled sweetly, and said: "Sir Ren, please come with me and let me test it for you. I think I can clarify your affinity direction first."

"Thank you!" Renn naturally wanted to have someone willing to help test his elemental affinity.

Perhaps Naya can also explain what the mysterious light silver energy particles that she sensed with her mental power are.

Thinking of this, Renn started to look forward to it.

Immediately, he followed Naya and walked out of the library.

Soon, the two figures side by side gradually disappeared in the corridor.

For Naya, originally, she did not have the authority of this family, whether it was to let a stranger enter the family library, or to use the family's witchcraft props to detect the direction of elemental affinity on strangers.

But since Naya came of age some time ago and was determined to have a super high blood concentration, her status in the family has risen rapidly.

Now, Naya's status can be said to be second only to the patriarch of the Usman family, her father.

All of the above-mentioned rights were naturally open to her.

"In front is my father's study, and there is a test crystal in it." Naya introduced.

"Is the test crystal a round crystal ball?" Renn couldn't help but ask.

He also has this thing, it's the trophy he got from Adams last time.

"Huh? Mr. Ren, do you also know about testing crystals? Spherical? No, no, the ones in the family are prismatic crystals, which are more accurate than the crystal balls you mentioned."

Soon, the two of them came to a study room that was elegantly decorated. The tables and chairs inside were all made of dark red high-grade wood. They looked old and exuded a faint smell of logs.

Ren immediately saw the prism crystal Naya mentioned on the large mahogany desk.

This is a long prism about one meter high, with an equilateral triangle section. Under the illumination of candlelight, it reflects colorful lights.

"Sir Ren, since you have used the crystal ball before, the method of using it is actually the same. Just hold it, concentrate, and then mobilize the mysterious side energy particles as much as possible."

Naya explained how to use it.

"Okay, Miss Naya." Renn nodded.

After checking it for a while, Ren began to hold the crystal prism with both hands, closed his eyes, and concentrated.

With the injection of Ren's spiritual power, the prism crystal soon emitted soft white light, and at the same time, the originally transparent crystal began to surge with light of different colors.

After a few seconds, the light gradually stabilized.

At this time, Ren opened his eyes and saw a red mist on the top layer of the prism crystal, and a light silver mist in the middle. The two occupied almost the same length on the scale of the prism crystal.

Although there is a slight difference, it is only a subtle difference.

What's left is a mix of colors, almost all colors.

"Hey, Sir Ren, in addition to the common affinity to the fire element, you actually have an extremely rare affinity to the metal element." Naya looked at Ren in surprise.

Um?

Affinity for metal elements?

Renn was shocked!

It turns out that those light silver mysterious side energy particles are metallic elements?

When the answer was revealed, Ren found that he seemed to have overlooked something.

That was his extraordinary characteristic 'Iron Skin lv3'. When he first used it, what he perceived mentally was this pale silver light.

"Your fire element affinity is 71, and your metal element affinity is 72. Both of them are above average, which is very good!"

But Naya seemed to think of something quickly, and frowned and said to Renn: "Your Excellency Renn, what a pity!"

"What a pity?" Renn didn't understand what Naya meant.

Judging from Naya's expression just now, my metal affinity should be relatively rare and rare.

Shouldn't it be that rare things are considered 'expensive'?

"Yes! You have an affinity for metal elements, and judging from the affinity level, it is above average."

"But you are not from a large wizarding family, nor have you joined a wizarding school. Therefore, there is almost no way for you to obtain this rare metal-based witchcraft."

Naya explained with regret.

After hearing Naya's explanation, Ren's heart suddenly thumped.

Is there no way to obtain metal witchcraft?

Renn immediately understood what Naya meant.

This is like learning the art of "dragon slaying", but turning around to find that there are no dragons in the world.

I have a rare affinity with metal elements, but I can't get metal witchcraft.

"If your affinity with metal elements were placed thousands of years ago, I don't know how many wizarding schools would be rushing to get you. However, with the rise of the empire and the demise of many schools, the already scarce metal-based witchcraft can There are even fewer that have been passed down.”

"So, it's such a pity." Naya sighed and explained in detail.

"Well, my suggestion to you is to consider the first-level witchcraft of the fire system as a solidified witchcraft model when you are promoted to a formal wizard. At least it will be relatively easy to find." Naya thought for a while and suggested.

Ren nodded, he understood what Naya meant.

Since very few metal-based witchcraft have been handed down, then choose the relatively well-preserved fire-based witchcraft, which at least has more channels to obtain it.

but

‘Solidified Witchcraft Model’

‘Genius witchcraft’

What means?

Renn asked his doubts at the right time.

"Miss Naya, this gift of witchcraft."

"Sorry, I forgot to tell you." Naya smiled apologetically.

"When a third-level wizard apprentice is promoted to a formal wizard, he generally needs to select a first-level witchcraft as a solidified model object, so as to form a talent witchcraft after being promoted to a formal wizard."

"It's like the innate ability of some ferocious beasts."

"Innate witchcraft is almost equivalent to the wizard's innate ability. Its characteristic is that the mental energy consumption of innate witchcraft can be greatly reduced, and at the same time, the casting speed is extremely fast."

After a pause, as if waiting for Ren to digest what she just said, Naya continued:

"After so many years of time testing, wizards have found that this choice of solidified witchcraft model is the best for defensive first-level witchcraft. Now, this is also recognized."

"As for choosing to attack witchcraft? Of course it's not impossible. In ancient times, there were many wizards who chose to attack witchcraft."

"But later I discovered that when faced with sneak attacks or assassinations by assassins, or when faced with some invisible monsters or evil spirits, it is possible to be sent back to the goddess's embrace with a single blow."

Ren nodded, he somewhat understood.

"By the way, Miss Naya, where can I find the first-level fire-based witchcraft?" After thinking about it, Renn asked a key question.

"Well, these are all in the hands of medium and large wizarding schools and empires. Relatively speaking, there are more wizarding schools in the four major departments. With your wizarding qualifications, you still have a high chance of passing the assessment and joining."

"Four major departments?" Ren asked doubtfully.

"Yes, it is the wizarding school based on the four major elements: fire, water, earth and air. It also corresponds to the four most common situations of elemental affinity."

Ren nodded.

It seems that because the physiques of these four major lines are the most common among humans, they have been passed down from ancient times and have the largest number of related schools.

Rare categories such as metals are difficult to survive in wars or other disasters, and most of them have been lost in the long river of history.

"So there isn't even a metal wizard school now?" Renn still asked unwillingly.

"Unfortunately, Mr. Ren, at least based on my experience, I don't seem to have heard of a school that focuses on metal witchcraft. Of course, it may be because of my lack of experience." Naya shook her head and said.

"But it is true that with your rare metal affinity, you might not be willing to join the fire-based wizard school if I were you. By the way, maybe you can look for it in some powerful departments of the empire. ”

"With your talent as a knight, I think it is not difficult to join some special departments."

"Does the Empire have one too?"

"Of course, now there are some special departments in the empire, and the number of witchcraft models they have collected is beyond your imagination, far exceeding that of ordinary wizard schools."

"They even collect some extremely rare witchcraft models. Therefore, I believe that if Mr. Ren can join these departments, he will definitely be able to find metal witchcraft models." Naya quickly replied.

This was really beyond Ren's expectation.

But that's good.

I no longer have to look for any wizard school.

Because since the special department of the empire has a richer collection of witchcraft models than the school, once he passes the 'Sword Holder' assessment more than a month later, he will have a channel to obtain them.

Renn thought quickly in his mind.

"By the way, Sir Ren, regarding the choice of witchcraft model when you are promoted to an official wizard, although we are a family of warlocks and there is no problem of choice, I have also heard a visiting wizard talk about it a little bit. "

"It seems that there is a certain correlation between innate witchcraft and the development of later wizards. I am not very clear about this. Therefore, Lord Ren may need to find someone to learn more about it."

After a pause, Naya added another sentence.

Um? Does it also have something to do with the future development direction?

Ren looked thoughtful.

It seems that we really need to find other more senior people to answer this question.

"Okay, thank you very much, Miss Naya, for answering the question." Renn turned to Naya and smiled, saying.

"By the way, does it mean that as long as you solve the problem of the defensive first-level witchcraft model, you can be promoted to an official wizard?" Renn continued to ask.

"If it's not that simple, this is the second key that I haven't mentioned yet. When you are promoted to a formal wizard, you need to use an important potion - atomization mixture."

"Atomizing mixture?" Ren encountered another gap in knowledge.

"That's right, the method of making this atomized mixture is monopolized by the empire and major wizarding schools, and it is generally almost impossible to circulate on the market." Naya explained.

"If you can obtain the atomizing mixture, coupled with the defense-oriented first-level witchcraft model just mentioned, you have a chance to become a formal wizard."

"Take the wizard that my father befriended as an example. The opponent is a defensive-oriented first-level fire-based witchcraft 'Fire Body Protection', which is used as a solidified model object during promotion, plus a high-level fire element affinity physique. Successfully became an official wizard."

At this time, Ren was startled for a moment. He keenly noticed that the system prompt suddenly appeared:

【Ding! It is detected that the host is listening to the wizard's secrets, triggering a job change - Fire Walker (Legendary)! 】

[The prerequisites for promotion to Flame Walker (Legendary) are: 1. Wizard qualification (fire element affinity above 75); 2. Spirituality points above 30; 3. Basic Meditation Will Rune (24/24); 4. Mastery The first-level fire witchcraft 'Flame Protection'; 5. Atomized mixture. The current conditions are not met, and the promotion to Flame Walker (Legendary) failed! 】

afternoon.

After returning home, Ren came to the study alone and closed the door to think.

He gained a lot today, so after listening to Naya's introduction about wizards, Renn did not choose to stay.

"Obviously, if you want to meet the job transfer conditions for promotion to a formal wizard, whether it is a defensive first-level witchcraft model or an extremely important atomizing mixture, there is a high probability that you will not be able to join a special department of the empire such as the 'Sword Bearer'. is unobtainable.”

"In the short term, my focus is still on changing my job to [Weapon Master (Legendary)]."

"Both are at the 'Legendary' level, and the Weapon Master will definitely bring you some surprises."

"It seems that we need to improve our 'Kadar Boxing Technique' as soon as possible."

"However, if you want to upgrade Kadar Boxing from lv4 to lv10 as quickly as possible, it is currently impractical to add all the points."

"Practice your boxing skills to lv5 or lv6, and then add more points, which is already the limit."

"There are only a few remaining skill points now. The auction house bought a box of ice iron ingots, and there is a high probability that the professional level of the first-level armor caster will be upgraded. In that case, the total will be two remaining skill points."

"The Knight (Extraordinary) should also have the opportunity to upgrade to another level in the near future, that is, there are three remaining skill points."

"But where can the remaining one or two skill points come from?"

Ren murmured in his heart.

I saw him focusing on the attribute panel and checking the status of each professional level.

Name: Ryan Callan

Occupation: Wizard Apprentice (Extraordinary) lv5 (1546/2000)/Knight (Extraordinary) lv5 (1789/2000)/Beast Tamer (Extraordinary) lv5 (102/2000)/Armor Caster lv6 (211/3000)

Constitution: 22

Strength: 22

Agility: 20

Spirit: 27

Remaining attribute points: 6

Skill points remaining: 1

"Perhaps, in the next battle, we should use more witchcraft. In this case, the professional level of the wizard apprentice (extraordinary) may be improved by one level."

"As for the beast tamer (extraordinary), the gap between upgrades is a bit big, but I do have all the materials for the wisdom potion on hand, which I collected at the Nightingale Market in Rosby City."

"If you make them all and feed some pets, will the system reward you with a wave of experience?"

"However, I will go to Fishing Port Town to take up a post in a few days. Regarding the forging, I still need to complete it as soon as possible. As for the potion production, it would be best if it can be done in time."

——

at the same time.

A luxurious mansion in Meist County.

In the underground hall.

Black Flame Monk Maral was reporting respectfully: "Master Priest, the latest news is that Baron Norman was killed by Ren on the spot in a bloody duel!"

The fat officiant slowly turned his head, stretched out his skinny arm slowly, flicked his fingernails, and said, "Isn't this something that has been expected for a long time?"

"What a stupid guy. He doesn't have a clear understanding of his own strength. He only fueled Ren's arrogance."

But when he finished speaking, he realized that Maral was silent.

So, he raised his head and glanced at Malal suspiciously, only to see the other person standing aside with a troubled expression on his face, as if he wanted to say something but didn't know how to say it.

The officiant immediately said angrily: "If you have anything to say, just say it. You want to say that Baron Norman is not weak, right?"

"Why, the duel was very fierce? Renn suffered a tragic victory?"

Maral shook his head and said: "Well, Lord Priest, this Baron Norman successfully entered the level of a great knight before participating in the bloody duel."

"What, Norman has become a great knight?" the fat officiant said, his narrowed eyes suddenly widened, his expression changed, and he immediately turned to look at Maral.

"Yes, officiant." Maral bowed and said respectfully.

"Does it mean that Ren has also become a great knight?" the officiant asked, staring closely at Maral's face.

"This...should not be"

"Then how did this Ren defeat a great knight? What did the people at the scene say?" The officiant looked thoughtful and continued to ask quickly.

"According to those who were watching the battle, they couldn't understand why Renne could defeat Baron Norman, who had just become a knight. They just felt that Renne's hammer technique was extremely powerful and Baron Norman could not resist it. "

"Afterwards, I quietly visited the scene and found that the ground was full of potholes, just like the cannons cleaning the ground when pirates attacked the shore. There was a particularly conspicuous depression of more than ten square meters in the shape of a fan. It is said that Renn smashed it with a hammer. of."

"Now, this Renne has also received a nickname and is called 'Baron Hammer' by the people of the county."

The underground hall fell into a long silence!

"Snapped!"

The skinny arm slapped the armrest of the chair heavily, and the officiant said with an extremely ugly expression: "After all, he allowed the other party to grow up."

"The great knight's combat power is always a hidden danger"

"By the way, has this Renn not gone to Fishing Port Town to take up his post?"

It seemed that the officiant had suffered many psychological blows to Renne, so he quickly adjusted his mentality and asked.

"Not yet, but... it should be in the next two days."

"Well, sort out this Ren's information and send it to the Poseidon Sect immediately. If the Poseidon Sect doesn't make targeted preparations, Renn may really be caught off guard."

"Yes, Master Priest!" Maral, who was dressed in black robe, bowed and planned to leave to prepare related matters.

At this time, the officiant called him again.

"Malal, how are you preparing the prayer materials this time?"

Maral was stunned for a moment, then turned around again and said: "We are ready. Don't worry, this time it will definitely not affect the normal holding of the Black Flame Prayer Ceremony."

"That's good, it's less than a month before the prayer ceremony." The officiant let out a long sigh.

"Huh? Master officiant, is the time point clear?" Maral raised his head and asked.

"I have sensed the Lord's response to my prayers, and the next time point is on the second Sunday of the month of vitality."

"At that time, it will definitely give the province of Munster a big surprise, hahaha!" The fat officiant seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly burst into laughter.

——

Wolf Hill.

Brigadier General Pacris of the Zalal Rebel Army was standing on a hill, drinking coffee imported from the Eagle Federation with a comfortable expression. He glanced at his subordinates who hurried over and said with a little displeasure:

"Hesheli, I asked you to organize those newly recruited bandits to carry out looting nearby, why did you run back?"

"Sir Brigadier General, we found a big fish ahead, but even if we organize several bandits and even if we gather together, it is estimated that it will be difficult to eat. So, you see," a sturdy man who looked like a captain reported respectfully.

"Oh? Is it the convoy of a noble in Meister County?"

I saw the burly Parricks putting a plate armor boot on a small stool, and a skinny kid next to him was wiping it quickly with a rag.

Soon, a plate armor boot was wiped shiny.

"Yes, judging from the emblem on the carriage, it seems to be the emblem of the Norman family. As a baron family, it is hard to imagine that they can organize a convoy of dozens of carriages."

"This time, the other party seems to have gone out in full force, leaving the county city, and the accompanying guard force is also very strong, with four official knights alone."

Listening to the report of his subordinates, Brigadier General Parix, who was wearing half-armor, calmly changed one leg and put the other plate armor boot on the small stool.

Without a signal, the kid quickly squatted down and continued to wipe it.

Thinking for a while, Parix looked puzzled and said to himself: "Norman family, I seem to have heard of it once? Let me think about it."

"My lord, it is the family of the Norman Baron who had a bloody duel with the new Baron Ryan." The strong man added carefully.

"Oh, yes, I remember, it's that family. Interesting, let's go, I'll go and see it myself." Parix suddenly realized, put down the coffee, and stretched out two fingers, signaling the strong man to follow.
