Chapter 204: Above the Secret Skill - Mystery (two chapters in one)

"It's too late. Even if we contact them now, it will take about five days at the earliest before someone comes. Then it's too late." Magis shook his head and said.

However, the words of the confidant gave Maggie an inspiration.

But what he wanted was not to rescue, but to assassinate!

After thinking for a moment, Magis's eyes flickered, and then he took out a black round medicine about the size of a fingernail from his arms and handed it over, and said to his cronies: "Grind this thing and find a way to put it." Go into his healing medicine."

"Parix's injury is so serious, he must be given some treatment before he can be tortured to extract a confession." Magis said firmly.

Over the past two years, he has seen many such things in prison, so he has some experience.

As for the confidant, his eyes suddenly widened twice, looking at the pill in front of him with a look of horror!

Of course he knew what it was. It was an extremely deadly poison that spies like them would use to commit suicide when they were in desperate situations.

Although he didn't know how effective this drug would be on the great knight, he believed that the seriously injured Parix would never be able to withstand the power of this drug and would most likely die immediately!

The key is, he didn't expect that when he just opened his mouth to suggest rescue, when he turned around, the boss asked him to assassinate him!

this.

The confidant's lips murmured twice, but he still chose to ask out the confusion in his heart: "Sir, do you really want to tell the Brigadier General that he is a great knight in the organization?"

Magis immediately shook his head like a rattle and said, "No! It doesn't matter whether he is a great knight now! But he is a bomb that may explode at any time."

"Once our brigadier general cannot bear the torture and extort a confession, then you, me, and other people in Meister County will all be hunted down by the empire."

The confidant was stunned for a long time, then his eyes lit up, he looked at Magis with an expression of great admiration, and gestured with a thumbs up, saying:

"My lord, this is your decision-making power!"

Magis continued:

"In addition, I will report it to the organization immediately! It is true that Parix is ​​a great knight, but he is only at the first level of strength, which is equivalent to a formal knight in the knight level. And this time, I will apply to the organization and be dispatched directly The senior knights are here to eradicate the cancer of Ren!"

"I have an intuition that if we don't get rid of this guy, he will become a serious problem for the organization sooner or later!"

The confidant also nodded and agreed: "Sir, you are right! This Ren has caused such a big loss to the organization, I believe that the organization will definitely regard him as a thorn in its side."

"As long as the organization still has ideas about Meister County, it will definitely support your decision and send people over!"

——

The sky is bright.

Wren's new mansion.

Since the battle ended very late yesterday, Renn returned to the room and took a rest soon.

When he woke up early this morning, Renne began to conduct a preliminary review of last night's battle.

Only by constantly reflecting and summarizing can we continue to make progress!

Ren thought about it. During the battle between himself and the resistance brigadier general Parix, what impressed him most was naturally the last ax thrown by the opponent.

At that time, the force on the ax blade was condensed like substance, and it was extremely lethal!

This move seems to be an extremely subtle combination of Force power and combat skills.

It is different from the attack of the great swordsman. This is more of a combination of force and combat skills, mobilizing a large amount of force to participate. It seems that only the level of the great knight has enough force to use against the opponent. Such an attack.

The great swordsman focuses more on faith and combat skills, followed by the force.

It's a pity that Renn didn't learn anything about this from Master Gunther.

Moreover, he did not have an introduction to the move performed by Parix. Otherwise, with his master-level combat skills, he should be able to initially figure out the secrets contained in it.

In addition, the effectiveness of high-level knight armor is beginning to be gradually reflected.

If he had only been wearing a chrome suit at the time, it would have been obvious that his injuries would have been much more severe.

Now that he is blocked by the high-level knight's plate armor, his body needs to bear much less damage.

Diejia never goes out of style!

It's just that for him, he has to deal with the balance between armor weight and movement speed.

Finally, Ren felt that fighting across a large level always had higher risks, so he still had to move to the next level as soon as possible.

Because judging from this battle, with his current strength, it should be said that he has exceeded the upper limit of a peak knight. If he had to do the math, perhaps it would be more appropriate to call him a quasi-great knight.

In addition, he is also a third-level wizard apprentice. Although he is 'self-taught', his combat ability is a big question mark. But even so, with the combination of the two, he was only slightly injured before defeating the opponent.

If he were another peak knight, he would almost definitely lose!

Of course, regarding the battle last night, he had a very clear idea of ​​why Ren chose to confront them head-on.

Even if the resistance brigadier general were stronger, Renn thought he could still handle it.

He placed the witchcraft scroll 'Summoning Hurricane' in his arms. Once he was really defeated, he would cast this witchcraft scroll decisively. At the same time, he also had a healing scroll 'Life Bloom'.

These two scrolls can be regarded as Renne's two trump cards.

So this is one of the reasons why Renn has the confidence to choose to fight head-on with enemies at the level of the Great Knight.

The biggest confidence comes from his system, of course.

However, these two witchcraft scrolls are disposable items. After using them, he currently has no way to replenish them. In other words, using one will mean losing one.

After the review was over, Renn shifted his thoughts to the last two skill points.

He had already made preliminary plans on how to obtain the next two skill points.

For one thing, Renn plans to gradually increase the experience value of his Wizard Apprentice (Extraordinary) career by practicing basic meditation and practicing witchcraft every day.

Ren calculated that the remaining 500 experience points would take about ten days. This was inseparable from the greatly enhanced battery life after his mental power continued to improve.

Before, he had performed sorcery several times in a row, and his mental energy was on the verge of exhaustion.

As for the last skill point, Ren plans to try making a wisdom potion first to see how the professional experience of the animal tamer works. After all, he has already prepared the materials.

Just do what comes to mind.

Ren walked out of the room and quickly came to the pharmacy room nearby. This pharmacy was actually similar to Ren's utility room in Goldshire.

Some time ago, he asked a beautiful woman to help him purchase some common glassware such as beakers, etc., which were used to make some not very cumbersome potions, which was enough for the time being.

Before production, Ren was still very serious and read the "Beast Taming Diary" about the production process of wisdom potion:

".The first step is to weigh and record a piece of starfish grass and grind it into powder."

After a while, Renn began to carry out the first step of preparing the starfish solution according to the wisdom potion making process.

In this step, you need to grind the starfish into powder, add distilled water, dilute and filter to get the starfish solution. The whole process is not difficult. After Renne weighed a starfish, he smashed it with a wooden pestle. .

A few minutes later, Renn looked at the light green liquid in the transparent test tube and nodded.

Because of the improvement in mental power, the first step can be extremely simple for Ren.

Step two.

third step.

Renn looked at the bubbling green reagent in the glass test tube in his hand and nodded with satisfaction.

A success! good!

At this time, the system refreshed a row of prompts:

[You have made the wisdom potion, and the related understanding has been improved! 】

[You have learned a new skill—making wisdom potion]

[Your skill, Wisdom Potion Production, is improved, experience value +30]

[You focus on making wisdom potions, and your animal tamer (extraordinary) professional experience +22]

Huh?

22 points, this experience value is not bad, it is a bit higher than the previous mutant growth potion.

After several attempts, Renn was basically sure.

He can gain approximately 20 experience points for each wisdom potion he successfully makes. If he completes all ten, it means he can gain nearly 200 experience points as an animal tamer.

In addition, for the profession of animal trainer, subsequent breeding is also a part of the experience source.

Ren made a rough estimate, and he could roughly gain about 500 points of professional experience as a beast tamer (extraordinary) through this wisdom potion.

There is still a significant gap between the two thousand experience points required to upgrade.

This made Ren frown slightly.

"The main drug 'Starfish Grass' is not sold in the bat market."

Just as Ren was thinking about a solution, there was a knock on the door.

"Dong dong dong!"

"Lord Baron, there is a night watch captain coming to visit you at the door of the mansion. He said his name is Matteo." A male servant came over to report.

Hey, Matteo?

Renn immediately raised his eyebrows. He had always had a good impression of Matteo, who was careful and quick in doing things. Thinking about it, it was true that he hadn't seen him for a while.

"Invite him in quickly!"

Soon, a short but lean man walked into the room.

"Matteo, why are you here in the county? Come, just have breakfast with me." Renn looked up at Matteo and said with a smile.

"Lord Baron, there is no need to bother with breakfast. As entrusted by Lord Hamilton, I will rush to the prison later. As a representative of the night watchmen, we will jointly interrogate the resistance brigadier general with the prison."

Mateo waved his hands sheepishly.

Renn nodded. Mateo was good at interrogating. He knew this. He didn't expect Hamilton to transfer him from Goldsmith so quickly.

"Lord Ren, this is what Lord Hamilton asked me to give to you. It was found on the resistance brigadier general. It should be a trophy that originally belonged to you."

"Oh?" Renn raised his eyebrows and took a light yellow parchment handed to him by the little Matteo.

"After we took off the knight's plate armor of the resistance brigadier general, we found this thing inside the inner lining of his knight's plate armor." Matteo said proudly.

This was what he discovered with his sharp eyes.

"Lord Ren, you have damaged the opponent's armor too seriously. We have spent a lot of effort, but we can't remove the opponent's armor that has been mixed with flesh and blood."

"In the end, we found two blacksmiths and used giant iron shears to help us remove the knight's armor from the other party." Matteo gestured with his hand to see what they looked like when they struggled to remove the armor last night.

This couldn't help but make Ren also laugh.

"I didn't think carefully. I should have split the opponent's armor directly before handing him over to you."

"In this case, you guys can save some trouble."

However, Renn then thought about it. If he had used a big sword to split the opponent's knight's plate armor, there was a high probability that he would not be able to obtain this extraordinary combat skill.

After all, if the place was hidden in a hidden lining, he would most likely not search for the loot in such detail.

"Originally, a prison torture officer was interested in you, but I stopped him on the spot! The other party was quite angry, so I immediately asked him, do you know who captured this great knight of the resistance army? It was Iron Baron Hammer!"

"As soon as he heard that it was your lord, the torturer immediately didn't dare to say anything." When Matteo said this, his expression was in high spirits and he was proud of himself.

Renn is from their night watch team.

Moreover, even though Renne was promoted to baron, his attitude towards the night watchmen was still the same as before, which moved them very much.

Renn smiled slightly, patted the other party's shoulder and said, "I'm interested! Matteo!"

After Matteo left, Ren returned to the study and opened the parchment with curiosity, only to see the words "Lockan's Compendium of One-Handed Ax Combat Techniques" in big letters.

After taking a few cursory glances, Ren discovered that this was a pretty good extraordinary combat skill that combined an ax and a shield. It described the use of a one-handed ax in a large part, and also talked about many shield defense techniques.

And the most important thing is that there is also the secret of Locken Ax Technique - Flash Cut.

After reading its description, Ren suddenly realized that this was the secret.

Regarding the concept of mystery, Ren heard Master Gunther mention it, but he had never seen the power of the true mystery.

The secret is the powerful blow that can be unleashed by the force of the great knight level combined with the master-level combat skill specialization.

Ren thought about it, and it seemed that the resistance brigadier general named Parix at that time did not fully grasp this secret. The reason was that the Locken Ax Skill practiced by the other party was at most a half-step master.

If I had to use one word to describe it, it would be the power of the opponent's axe. It can only be regarded as a quasi-mystery at best, but it is not a real mystery.

But the power of the quasi-mystery, currently, has exceeded the upper limit of the power of the secret hammer technique 'Earth-shattering hammer' he used.

Although it seems that the gap is not big, you must know that the control level of his Tokkal hammer skill is at the master level, plus the lv3 level hammer specialization. It can be said that Ren's secret skill of earth-shattering hammer is completely beyond the upper limit of the knight level secret skill. of.

It is conceivable that if the opponent's ax skills really reach the master level, he may not necessarily lose, but he will definitely be injured more seriously.

Although this extraordinary combat skill is very good, for the current Renn, he does not choose to practice it.

Those two skill points are his top priority right now.

"Dong dong dong!"

"Please come in."

"My dear, this is the essence of the giant beast sent by Master Holland." The beautiful woman said with a worried look on her face as she handed Ren a brown wooden box.

"Huh? Jennifer, it looks like you're not in a good mood." Ren keenly noticed the beautiful woman's frown and asked immediately after taking the wooden box.

The beautiful woman glanced down at the wooden box in Ren's hand, raised her head again, looked at Ren with her beautiful eyes, and said:

"According to Master Holander, this giant beast essence was successfully produced, but its efficacy may be considered the lowest among the giant beast essences."

"So, my dear, why don't you wait a little longer? We have plenty of funds now. I plan to ask Axon Auction House to help us purchase a bottle of high-quality beast essence in the imperial capital in the future." The beautiful woman Said slowly.

When Ren heard this, he took the beautiful woman's white hands, patted them, and said comfortingly:

"Don't worry, Jennifer, the Great Knight is not a problem for me."

"The acquisition of high-quality behemoth essence doesn't mean much to me."

"If you want to know the specific reason... well, you can understand that I am very close to the Great Knight. With any bottle of Behemoth Essence, I can successfully break through."

Although he had made a lot of money from his previous bets before the bloody duel.

But in terms of betting, most of the principal was contributed by the beautiful woman, and now it seems that a large part of the income has been spent on him, such as the previous acquisition of ice iron ingots, mithril ingots, etc.

Now, the beautiful woman has to help her purchase high-quality beast essence, which has completely consumed all her previous betting profits, and she will probably have to pay back a lot.

"Huh? My dear, you didn't lie to me?" The beautiful woman looked surprised. After all, this was the first time she had heard of Ren's statement.

"Of course!" Renn nodded.

After the beautiful woman left, Ren thought for a while, put away the wooden box containing the second behemoth essence, and continued to devote himself to making the wisdom potion.

Two hours later, Renn exhausted all the materials and made a total of ten wisdom potions. Nine of them were successful. One of them failed accidentally, but the success rate was still as high as 90%.

After the production was completed, Renn naturally wanted to experiment with the effect. Since the greyhound "Cookie" was seriously injured, it was not suitable.

After thinking about it, Ren brought a wisdom potion to the stable in the backyard of the mansion.

"Good day, Lord Baron." A middle-aged male servant couldn't help but salute respectfully when he saw Renn coming to the stable.

He knew this manservant as the groom who was in charge of the stables, raising and caring for the horses at his residence.

"How about 'Black Pearl'?" Ren asked casually.

'Black Pearl' is the black war horse. Since Renn has been adding mutant growth medicine to its feed about two months ago, the opponent's figure has become increasingly stronger and taller.

As for why it was named ‘Black Pearl’, you will know by referring to the origin of the greyhound ‘Cookie’.

This is the name chosen by my sister Mint. I have to say that this naming is still an improvement compared to the greyhound one.

"Sir, Black Pearl seems to have grown stronger recently, and his appetite is now astonishing. He will eat a bag of fine feed or grass in one meal, which is almost three times the appetite of an ordinary war horse."

"Well, thank you for your hard work. If you want the horse to run, you have to feed it!" Ren said with a smile.

"Everything else is normal, except that he doesn't seem to like being locked up in the stable, preferring to walk outside, so he is a bit grumpy sometimes." Groom Hui reported.

Ren nodded. Indeed, it had been a while since he had ridden it.

The space in the backyard can only allow the horses to exercise a little, but it is far from being able to have fun.

Ren looked up and saw that the black horse at this moment was completely different in appearance from the other ordinary horses on the side.

He is a standard tall horse with glossy black fur. When he walks around casually, he can easily see the strong muscles under his skin.

It is no exaggeration to say that among the seven or eight war horses, the completion can be said to stand out from the crowd.

Renn compared it carefully. If the height of an ordinary war horse in the stable is about 1.4 to 1.5 meters, then the height of the black horse at the shoulders has reached 1.8 meters.

Note that this is shoulder height. If you include the neck and horse head, the total height of 'Black Pearl' is more than two meters and two meters.

Obviously, such a drastic change can no longer be described as getting stronger.

The reason is naturally that after taking the mutated growth potion for two consecutive months, Dark Horse has developed some kind of mutation, and his body has been completely mutated and transformed.

Because if it is a simple increase or decrease in muscle, the horse's skeleton will not change, but at this moment, the black horse's bone thickness and appearance have changed.

Seeing Ren coming over, the black horse snorted twice, snorted twice, and rubbed his forehead against Ren's outstretched palm.

Obviously, ‘Black Pearl’ is very happy about Renne’s arrival.

Ren touched the head of 'Black Pearl', took out the wisdom potion in his hand, and poured it into the concentrate in the manger.

As the light green bubbling liquid flowed out, 'Black Pearl' first sniffed it, then squeaked, and started chewing it, seeming to like the taste quite a bit.

After one minute, the system prompts to refresh:

[You feed the war horse with concentrated feed mixed with secret medicine and wisdom potion, and the relevant understanding is slightly improved! 】

[Your skill of animal taming has been improved, experience value +45]

[Your animal trainer (extraordinary) professional experience +22]

Ren nodded with satisfaction and looked at the beast tamer (extraordinary) profession which had reached level 5 (348/2000).

However, the methods of using wisdom potions and mutant growth potions are different.

The wisdom potion only needs to be used once, and it will slowly take effect on the pet. It does not need to be taken continuously for two months like the mutant growth potion.

This means that Ren can only get feeding experience from one pet once, but he has made every effort and currently only has two pets.

On the one hand, this is because he did not put too much energy into the beast trainer (extraordinary) before. Secondly, it is still unknown whether there is an upper limit on the number of pets a trainer can have.

Reminiscent of the previous limit on the number of career panels, the system waits until Ren has reached the number of career panels (3/3) before a prompt appears: The total number of panels has reached the current upper limit.

Later, after he entered Knight (Extraordinary), the number of professional panels was expanded by one, reaching (4/4).

Therefore, Ren speculated that the number of pets a trainer could have was also limited. Without a particularly suitable pet, he had no intention of adopting pets at will.

At this time, a male servant walked over quickly and bowed to Ren:

"Lord Baron, a group of cavalry came outside the door, and among them was a beautiful female officer. She said her name was Malika."

Huh?

Why is she here?

Ren immediately thought of the beautiful female major with a graceful figure wearing a navy uniform.

It should be what Earl Habs said last time, the task force of the Sixth Squadron, didn't expect it to be so fast?

Renn raised his eyebrows and said, "Okay, I'll come right away."

When Ren came to the front yard, he found that a group of cavalry had been introduced into the front yard. In front of the cavalry, the beautiful woman Jennifer was smiling and receiving Major Marika Morales in a navy uniform.

What is more eye-catching is that there is a girl with twin tails wearing a light blue robe next to Marika, who does not seem to be much older than Jenny in terms of age.

"Lord Baron, I was just about to ask Major Marika and her party to wait for you in the living room." The beautiful woman said with a smile.

"Baron Renn, long time no see." Seeing Renn appear, Marika's eyes brightened and she greeted with a smile.

She didn't expect that after not seeing him for a while, the young man now looked more sturdy and tall, and at the same time, he also revealed a faint aristocratic temperament.

This transformation seemed a little too fast.

"Major Marika, long time no see." Ryan smiled and nodded.

"Sir Ryan, this is Veronica Meyer, a disciple of Master Enius, the advisor of the Imperial South Sea Fleet. As a third-level wizard apprentice of the Ubrek School, Veronica specializes in bird transformation and is also the liaison officer of this task force."

Ryan was stunned when he heard this.

Hmm?

Ubrek School? It should be a wizard school.

Ryan raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that this girl with twin ponytails would be a third-level wizard apprentice. This was really beyond his expectations.

But then Ryan suddenly understood.

Because he recalled that Adams' diary recorded the fact that a formal wizard served as an advisor to the Duke of the Empire.

Sure enough, the top leaders of the empire did not regard wizards as a scourge, but as a kind of help.

"Hello, Miss Veronica." Ryan bowed slightly.

"Baron Ryan, I have heard of your name for a long time." Veronica's voice was surprisingly a rare baby voice.

At this moment, there was a sound of flapping wings in the sky, and at the same time, a black shadow swooped down from the sky.

Ryan's pupils shrank, and he immediately grasped the hilt of the greatsword behind him with his right hand.

"Sir Ryan, wait."

"Hmm?"

"This is a specially modified white seagull, it is here to deliver a message to us." Veronica shouted immediately.

I saw a white seagull that was two circles larger than an ordinary seagull, flapping its wings and flying to Veronica's outstretched arm.

At this time, Ryan discovered that Veronica's right forearm, covered by her blue robe, was wearing a tubular brown leather sheath, which should be used as a foothold for the bird's claws when landing.

Ryan raised his eyebrows.

Specially modified white seagull?

Is it the effect of witchcraft or some secret medicine?

But no matter from which angle, it seems to be suitable for me to keep as a pet.

Unfortunately, the white seagull is still a little weak. If it were a bird of prey, it would be a very good choice.

However, if I get another bird of prey like an eagle,

wouldn't it be "holding the blue on the left and the yellow on the right"?

Veronica quickly recited a spell in her mouth, and she stared at the white seagull without moving her eyes. After a few seconds, she said:

"Major Marika, Baron Ryan, Major General Silva said that the fleet has left the port and is expected to arrive in the waters near Mayest County in three days."
