The wizard starts by trimming the donkey's hooves

Veronica, on the other hand, looked at Renn up and down with a pair of shining beautiful eyes, as if she was getting to know Renn again.

"Baron Ren, your combat power seems to be stronger than that of a great knight. No, it is stronger than that of an average third-level wizard."

"Major Marika mentioned you before, and I thought there would be some exaggeration in it, but now it seems that it is not an exaggeration, and the evaluation is even more conservative!"

Ren smiled slightly and said: "Miss Veronica, in terms of real combat power, I should not be able to compare with you. Even the third-level wizard apprentice plus the witchcraft scroll cannot be resisted by the great knight."

"It's just that for these two people, I may not have any weaknesses that they can target, so it's relatively easier to deal with them." Renn pointed to the two people lying on the ground and said.

"Your Excellency Renn, being too modest is pride." Major Malika heard the conversation between the two and walked over with a smile and said to Renn.

Although she had witnessed Renn's combat prowess as early as Renn's canonization assessment, two months later, Renn's strength had improved significantly again.

Those levels that are extremely difficult for ordinary knights to break through seem to be completely inapplicable to Ren.

Originally, Malika had always believed that Veronica, the third-level wizard apprentice, should be responsible for the combat power among her group, but now it seems that it is none other than Ren.

"Yes! Sir Ren, by the way, I also want to thank you for avenging my Dabai!" Veronica stroked the huge white owl that was almost the same height as her and gave a ladylike salute to Ren. road.

"Oh, Baymax is injured?" Renn took a closer look at Baymax's injured wings. It should have been injured by the signature skill of 'Bloody Shooter' Phil Kratz, 'Blood Fury Blow'.

Because there is still a faint scent of blood lingering on it.

"Cuckoo!" Dabai chirped twice at Ren in a very humane manner. Then, he also imitated Veronica's ladylike etiquette, spread his wings slightly, and saluted Ren, obviously thanking Ren. .

"Yes, this is my contract creature Baymax, a modified white owl. Baron Wren, Baymax just said that it is very grateful to you for helping it avenge it." Veronica said with a smile.

"Well, you're welcome, Baymax. This is what I should do." Ren looked at Baymax carefully. Judging from his breath, this giant white owl, Baymax, was probably not as powerful as the senior knights.

If it were another opponent, instead of someone like Phil Kratz who was extremely good at archery, the combination of Veronica and Baymax should be able to easily defeat the opponent.

The big white human shield is in the front, and Veronica Witchcraft is in the back.

"By the way, Sir Ren, I wonder if we should find a safe place now and interrogate these two people." Major Marika on the side stretched out her white finger and pointed at the two dejected people on the ground. humane.

"Of course, how about we go to Fishing Port Town now. The interrogation of these two people will not be completed in a short time. There should be a holding room in the town administration hall, which will make the interrogation more convenient." Renn nodded.

For these two people, if the interrogation methods are in place, they should be able to dig out a lot of 'secrets' about the Poseidon Cult and the Black Sail Pirates.

"However, Major Marika, these two are both hard-line elements. If the subsequent interrogation uses ordinary methods, it may not have much effect." Renn glanced at Knight Frodo aside and reminded Marika. .

"Cultists are indeed extraordinary! Miss Veronica, I may need your witchcraft help then." Marika's face was solemn, and she knew that Renne's worry was not unnecessary.

Knight Frodo's interrogation methods may be powerful for ordinary pirates, but for these two, I'm afraid they are still not enough.

She still had to think of a solution.

"Of course, Major Marika can come to me at any time. I have a few bottles of truth serum here, which should have a certain effect." Veronica nodded and said.

After the group of people cleaned up the battlefield, the cavalry were responsible for escorting two important figures, Phil Kratz and Mialko, towards the fishing port town.

About a quarter of an hour later, the densely packed houses in the fishing port town were clearly visible.

But strangely, there were still very few pedestrians on the roadside.

Ren squinted his eyes and looked carefully into the distance, and found that many houses on the edge of the town had collapsed, as if after fierce battles.

After thinking about it, maybe the pirates had the strength to capture Fishing Port Town a long time ago, but in order to avoid the attention of the empire's upper echelons, or for other reasons, they still focused on plundering Fishing Port Town.

Soon, Renne and the others came to a temporary roadblock set up on the street. The security guards in charge looked at Renne and his group with vigilant faces.

"Stop, who are you?"

Due to the sensitive identity of the naval task force, the cavalry did not directly reveal their identity, but instead revealed the identity of Lane.

"This is the new consul and peace officer of Fishing Port Town, Lord Wren, and we are all his bodyguards."

"Huh? Lord Baron Lane?" All the security officers looked at each other in confusion.

They didn't know the news.

But soon, someone reacted and said: "Lord Baron, knights, we have not been notified of the situation you mentioned. Due to the recent rampant pirates, please wait a moment and we will report it immediately."

A security guard quickly ran towards the administrative hall in the center of the town.

After waiting for a few minutes, several cavalrymen in the front row of Rennes' team said to the security guards: "Move these roadblocks first! The pirates should not launch another attack in a short time."

"Huh? Is there anything new?" After a few minutes, the security guards were able to confirm that the people in front of them were most likely not pirates, because although the dozen or so cavalrymen were all injured, their faces were relatively young and handsome, and their teeth were white, and they did not look like pirates. It's a pirate.

The two cavalrymen looked at each other and smiled. One of them turned to the security guards and said, "You have to thank Baron Wren for this. He cleared away all the pirates entrenched on the road in and out of your town."

"By the way, I also caught two big fish!"

"What! Is Baron Wren so powerful?"

"Some of the pirates entrenched on several roads in our town are members of the Black Sail Pirates, a large pirate group. They are very powerful."

"."

The security guards were extremely surprised when they heard the news, and soon began to whisper.

"Of course!" The cavalrymen patted the luggage on the side of the horse and showed the seizure.

As soon as the security guards took a look, they knew that these were indeed weapons and some iconic items from the pirates, such as the skull hood of the Black Sails pirates and so on.

After this back and forth, the security guards began to follow the cavalry's advice and moved the roadblocks away.

At this time, two bearded men with bandages on their bodies and holding hammers and shields came over.

Both of them are family knights of Earl Habsburg, both have the strength of senior knights, and both are good at using hammer shields.

Judging from the obvious traces of bandages on both of their bodies, it is obvious that as the main defense force of Fishing Port Town, they are under a lot of pressure.

Seeing Lehman Brothers coming over, Ren, who was in the carriage compartment, said to the two women: "Major Malika, Miss Veronica, you two sit down for a while, and I will go and connect with you."

"Of course, Baron Wren." The two women nodded immediately.

Due to their special status, Renn is naturally the most suitable for the job of connecting with the territory.

When the Lehman brothers saw that Lane was so young, they couldn't help being stunned. His younger brother, Cornette Lehman, said eagerly: "Are you Baron Lane? You are too young."

"Why would your lordship send you such a young knight here?"

"Although your team of cavalry seems to be elite, do you know that most of the twenty elites I led here have been killed or injured, and it is difficult to hold on to the current situation."

Since Lehman Brothers had been sent to Fishing Port Town before the bloody duel between Lane and Baron Norman, the news was relatively limited.

They didn't know that Ren had a record of bloody duels with great knights, and they didn't know that he had just captured alive the 'Bloody Shooter' Phil Kratz and the special envoy of the Poseidon Cult, Mialko.

But at this time, after his brother Colbert Lehman looked at Renn carefully, he pulled his brother's hand and said: "I believe him!".

The younger brother couldn't help but look at his older brother with some doubts. The older brother, Colbert Lehman, pointed at the big bow hanging on the side of the black horse and asked, "Doesn't this bow look familiar?"

The younger brother looked at it carefully and couldn't help but immediately turned pale and said in shock: "Isn't this the bow of Phil Kratz, the 'Bloody Archer'?"

"Why did it appear on him?"

"Could it be that"

Cornette Lehman is naturally very familiar with this bow. It was because of this bow that he and his brother suffered injuries that have not healed yet!

At this time, a knight from the task force couldn't bear it anymore and couldn't help but said: "That guy from the 'Bloody Shooter' is behind now!"

As soon as these words came out, Lehman Brothers immediately looked at each other in shock.

Seizing weapons and capturing the enemy leader alive are, of course, two different concepts!

They were like "bloody shooters" facing a formidable enemy. They didn't expect that the new consul had not yet arrived at Fishing Port Town, but he was picked up on the way.

This kind of strength

What happened next became a matter of course.

Renne and his party were quickly taken to the town administration hall.

The Lehman brothers quickly corrected their attitudes and quickly reported to Renn some of the things that happened in Fishing Port Town during their half-month garrison.

This allowed Renn to quickly obtain first-hand information on the current situation of Fishing Port Town.

Originally, Lehman Brothers could return to the county after handing over to Lane, but they changed their minds when they saw the cavalry escorting Phil Kratz into the interrogation room.

Especially when the brothers heard Marika saying that they wanted to contact the South China Sea Fleet to send interrogation experts, the brothers patted their chests and said, "We are professionals in this matter!"

"Even in prisons, prisoners who can't figure it out sometimes invite the two of us over."

When Ren heard this, it was a good thing. He no longer had to wait for the Navy to send interrogators.

So, he asked Malika to send Knight Frodo to join the brothers and begin to torture each other.

In the following time, Renn practiced meditation and witchcraft every day in the administrative hall according to the established rhythm.

Judging from the current progress, he only needs another seven or eight days to upgrade the wizard apprentice to level 6.

However, Renn did not spend all his time and energy on training.

Every day, Veronica's white seagulls would spread out to conduct reconnaissance work. Once they found a pirate landing boat or more than ten pirates, Renn would personally go out to clear it out.

Of course, if there are very few pirates, leave it to the naval task force.

Therefore, with birds helping to detect the enemy's situation, in just a few days, the pirates near Fishing Port Town were almost extinct.

The lives of the residents of Yugang Town slowly began to return to their original normal track.

This is easy to see from the increasing number of smiling faces on the residents’ faces.

In addition, as the consul and peace officer of Fishing Port Town, Renn would lead a team of cavalry to ride around Fishing Port Town every day.

Although this move was more of a formal and symbolic meaning, it restored the town residents' confidence in the empire's ability to eradicate pirates.

Even though Fishing Port Town is still unable to carry out normal fishing operations and resume normal fishery production, the public security has been completely renewed. At the same time, the original arrogance and domineering arrogance of the pirates has been effectively curbed.

However, for Renn, the most important thing is that he has steadily improved his Kadar boxing skills through practice and killing pirates.

Three days later, after clearing out a small group of pirates who had landed, Renn finally received a system prompt for the improvement of Kadar's boxing skills:

[Your skill Kadar Boxing has been improved, experience value +59]

[You have experienced a battle, and the knight (extraordinary) professional experience value +16]

[Congratulations, your skill Kadar Boxing has been upgraded to lv6]

In an instant, Renn once again had a lot of fragmented training memories about Kadar boxing in his mind.

After absorbing and digesting it, Renn felt as if he had been practicing Kadar boxing for half a year!

But Ren just came back to his senses and found that the system prompt just now was not over.

There is a system prompt that follows:

[Congratulations, you have unlocked the exclusive secret skill of Kadar Boxing: high-speed combos! 】

Sure enough, generally speaking, after the level of control of extraordinary combat skills reaches mastery, secret skills begin to be unlocked.

Ren was delighted when he saw a brand new icon above the 'Kadar Boxing' on the Knight (Extraordinary) panel.

The pattern inside the icon is of a strong man, waving his fists forward quickly, with dozens of fist shadows in front of him, which looks vivid and fierce.

At the bottom right of the icon, there is a line of small words:

High-speed combo lv1 (secret skill) effect: Explode in a very short period of time, and perform as many punches, left punches, right swing punches, uppercuts and other boxing attacks as possible.

(Note: High-speed combos are secret skills and cannot be directly improved through skill points.)

(High-speed combo level 2 must meet the following conditions: 1. Kadar boxing level 8 or above; 2. Strength above 16 points, constitution above 16 points, and agility above 18 points.)

Ren tried it. Basically, wearing the knight's plate gauntlets, he could hit about twelve punches per second. If he took off the plate gauntlets and shoulder pads, he could hit fourteen punches per second. !

This made Renn feel very happy. He now had an extra weapon for close combat!

Originally, his weapons, whether they were large swords or two-handed war hammers, were more than one and a half meters long. It was very inconvenient to fight in a narrow environment. It can be said that this was one of his obvious shortcomings.

Because whether it is the Tokkar Hammer Technique or the Giant Bear Sword Technique, his level of control has reached the master level. Without these two handy weapons, his combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.

This was clearly demonstrated in the battle with Mialko, the messenger of the Poseidon Cult, in the cave.

Looking at the triggering conditions of the secret skill 'High Speed ​​Combo Level 2', Renn thought for a moment and decided to add points directly now.

Improving Kadar Boxing from lv6 to lv7 cannot be achieved in a short time, and in about three or four days, his wizard apprentice (extraordinary) professional level will reach lv6.

At that time, the Kadar Boxing Skill can be upgraded to lv10, which will meet all the requirements for the job transfer [Weapon Master (Legendary)].

Therefore, now he plans to add these three remaining skill points to upgrade Kadar Boxing to lv9.

This way you can get used to it first.

In addition, the lv9 Kadar boxing skill will definitely trigger another boxing secret skill 'Hundred Cracks', for which Renn is quite looking forward to it.

As the remaining skill points on the attribute panel changed from 3 to 0, Kadar Boxing also jumped from lv6 to lv9.

A flood of memories of Kadar boxing training came flooding in.

Multiple system prompts also appeared:

【Ding! It is detected that the host's Kadar Boxing skill has reached level 7, and the exclusive secret skill of Kadar Boxing is unlocked: Hundred Cracking Strike lv1. 】

Hundred Crack Attack lv1 (Secret Skill) Effect: Imitate the tiger's claw attack, turning the fist into claws, bursting out in a very short time, using moves such as upward lifting, downward slashing, and left and right swings to deliver as many claw attacks as possible.

(Note: Hundred Crack Strike is a secret skill and cannot be directly improved through skill points.)

(Note: Only effective when equipped with Sharp Blade Tiger.)

(The following conditions must be met for Hundred Cracking Strike lv2: 1. Kadar Boxing lv9 or above; 2. Strength above 18 points, constitution above 16 points, and agility above 18 points.)

【Ding! It is detected that the host's Kadar Boxing skill has reached lv8, and the exclusive secret skill of Kadar Boxing is unlocked: high-speed combo lv2. 】

【Ding! It is detected that the host's Kadar Boxing skill has reached level 9, and the exclusive secret skill of Kadar Boxing is unlocked: Hundred Cracking Strike lv2. 】

On the fourth day, Lehman Brothers came to report.

Previously, with the help of the 'truth serum' provided by Veronica, they spent a lot of effort to finally get the other party to disclose some confidential information, and after two days of repeated verification, they finally confirmed it.

Veronica immediately passed the seabird message to the Imperial Navy's South Sea Fleet about the Poseidon Sect's stronghold near the waters of Mestre County, as well as the positions of several major pirate groups.

Next, it’s time to wait.

After all, naval battles are not part of the mission of this naval task force and Renne. This should be left to the South China Sea Fleet and Rear Admiral Silva.

Soon, Ren and the others waited for a reply from the fleet.

Rear Admiral Silva asked Ren and the task force to do defensive work near the coast, because if the pirates were severely damaged by the imperial fleet in a naval battle, they would probably jump over the wall and flee directly to the coastal area.

Although this is a group of stragglers, it is also a formidable enemy for coastal towns with weak defenses. Once it is breached, the losses will be extremely heavy.

On the fifth day, Lehman Brothers came to report again.

"Lord Baron, this is what we found from the cracks in Phil Kratz's plate armor. It is said to be a treasure map about the pirate king 'Shipburner' Vicente Sanborn. Unfortunately, it does not Not complete, only a quarter.”

"Huh?" Ren was delighted and immediately took the parchment and read it carefully.

Judging from the texture and pattern, this is the missing last quarter of the treasure map.

A quarter is fine, but who wouldn’t be jealous if it was a complete treasure map?

After the two brothers left, Renn immediately took out the remaining three maps and quickly spliced ​​them together.

When a complete treasure map was presented to Renn, he discovered that what was shown in the center of the map was actually a circular island chain composed of multiple islands.

However, the crossed position is not on the circular island chain, but on a small island next to it.

Obviously, the small island on the side is the destination and the location of the treasure.

Ren thought for a while, but he did not ask Major Malika or Veronica for advice on the location drawn on the treasure map.

After getting to know Fishing Port Town during this period, Ren knew that there was an old man living in the town, Captain Kashan, who had once been the captain of an ocean-going merchant ship. He planned to ask him for advice.

After simply hand-drawing a pattern based on the treasure map, Ren found Captain Kashan, an old man with gray hair holding a pipe in his mouth.

"Lord Baron, this necklace-shaped ring-shaped island chain, judging from the number and shape of the islands, is very similar to the Saphira Islands located in the outer sea."

"And this island is just east of the Saphira Islands. If I guess correctly, this should be the Island of Fear."

"Island of Fear?"

After Ren heard the name, he couldn't help but frown slightly.

Because as you can tell from the name, this doesn't seem to be a simple island.

"That's right! As for why this island is called the Island of Fear, it's because there is a group of three marine iguanas living on the Island of Fear." Captain Kashan nodded and said solemnly.

"Three marine iguanas? Are they some kind of ferocious beast?" Renn couldn't help asking.

Renn had never been in contact with this violent beast, but from Captain Kashan's slightly frightened expression, he knew that this creature should be very powerful.

"Yes, the three-headed sea iguana is an extremely powerful ferocious beast. As long as it is an adult, it has the strength of a senior knight. The leader of the three-headed sea iguana is said to have the strength of a peak knight."

"Once there were pirates who encountered a hurricane. After the ship was destroyed and everyone was killed, they drifted to the Island of Fear. As a result, of more than a hundred pirates, only one person managed to escape holding a sampan. The others were all devoured by three marine iguanas. ”

"Some pirates who did not believe in evil went to look at the island from a distance after that, and found that there was indeed a large group of three-headed marine iguanas on this island. Later, this incident spread, and this island was very It was soon designated as a forbidden area by pirates and ocean-going merchant ships.”

Captain Kashan spoke slowly.

Is the strength of an adult individual comparable to that of a senior knight?

And a big group?

It is indeed an island of fear!

When Renn thought that if he landed on this island, he would be attacked by more than ten or even dozens of three marine iguanas whose strength was comparable to that of a senior knight, and his scalp went numb!

But another question came to Renn's mind. Why did the Pirate King "Shipburner" Vicente Sanborn place the treasure on this island?

Could it be that there is some kind of contractual relationship between the original wizard and high knight Vicente Sanborn and the leader of the three-headed marine iguana clan?

Or is it that Vicente Sanborn, the pirate king, has a witchcraft such as invisibility that allows him to easily hide his treasures here?

After thinking for a moment, Renn shook his head slightly.

This question is probably only known to the Pirate King himself.

Another problem is that although Ren has unlocked the secret of the treasure map, with his current strength, the risk of landing on this island is too high.

Renn quickly thought about various possible options in his mind.

First of all, if we rely on the power of the navy, it doesn't mean that we can't go together!

But the problem is that once the Imperial Navy's South Sea Fleet intervenes, the nature of the whole thing changes.

Although the admirals such as Major General Silva and Major Marika of the Sixth Squadron had a good sense of him, the exploration of the Pirate King's treasure required the use of warships, which was obviously a business matter.

Putting aside the issue of battle losses once a battle occurs, the issue of distribution of profits will be a problem.

Wren doesn't necessarily get what he wants.

Moreover, in the middle, some problems other than combat may arise.

After all, there was no guarantee that there wouldn't be some people with ulterior motives in the navy who would be jealous after seeing him obtain the Pirate King's treasure. Therefore, Renne quickly rejected the idea of ​​inviting the South China Sea Fleet to participate together.

After some serious thinking, Renn felt that it might be more appropriate to wait until he was able to explore the island alone.

Because in terms of time, in less than a month, he will go to Munster to participate in the assessment of the Imperial Sword Bearer Organization.

The order of importance of this matter is naturally above that of the Pirate King's treasure.

Because of what Marika said, Ren believed that once he joined the Imperial Sword Bearers Organization, he would be able to accumulate enough points by completing various tasks to exchange for some witchcraft or other important knowledge.

This will bring about a huge increase in his strength. At the same time, this method will be more durable, reliable, and more targeted.

And the Pirate King's treasure, in a sense, is more like the icing on the cake.

Moreover, he can now transform into a weapons master immediately, and his wizard apprentice career has reached the level of a third-level wizard apprentice.

Renn believed that once he became an official wizard, with the blessing of two legendary professions, he should have the ability to initially explore the island.

This time won't be long.

After thinking about these issues, Renn's enthusiasm for the Pirate King's treasure was no longer as urgent as before.

On the sixth day, news of the maritime fleet came
