The wizard starts by trimming the donkey's hooves

A fluffy light yellow bird head suddenly popped out of the purple eggshell, with a small piece of broken purple eggshell in its mouth. At first glance, it looked no different from an ordinary chicken.

When the bird saw Ren's appearance, its smart eyes couldn't help but look at Ren with curiosity. It seemed that it felt that Ren had no ill intentions towards it, so it chirped twice crisply and happily.

Ren smiled, walked over immediately, carefully picked up the fluffy bird, placed it in his palm, and stroked it a few times.

After thinking for a moment, Ren went out and said to the guard on the side: "Please come here, Miss Veronica."

"As you command, Lord Baron!"

After a while, Veronica, dressed in a light blue robe, jogged to Ren's lounge. Just when she was about to ask Ren what was going on, a pair of beautiful eyes immediately noticed the newly hatched egg in Ren's hand. little bird.

Veronica couldn't help but be stunned, her mouth opened slightly, and then she stretched out her white fingers and asked in surprise: "Your Excellency Ren, is this the little thing that came out of the purple giant egg? "

"Yes, Miss Veronica, I invited you here just to ask you, can you tell what kind of bird it is now? Also, what should I feed it?"

I saw Veronica walking forward quickly, then pinched the beak of the chick, checked the talons, nodded, and said: "Your Excellency Renn, although I can't accurately identify the species of this bird. , but it should undoubtedly belong to some kind of raptor.”

"If you want to feed it, it should be worms, animal meat or fish meat. And seeing that it is so powerful when it is born, it is very likely that it is a naturally violent species. It would be best if it can be directly fed with ferocious animal meat."

After listening, Ren nodded and said, "Thank you, Miss Veronica."

This is quite simple.

I have the ferocious beast meat readily available here. I still have a lot of ferocious bear meat left for my cultivation, so I can give it a try.

He walked to the cabinet aside, took out a piece of raw bear meat from it, tore off a small strip of meat, and handed it to the chick's mouth. The chick opened its mouth anxiously and took a big bite, like He swallowed the small piece of meat like a pelican.

At the same time, he chirped twice cheerfully, seeming to say, ‘Is there more? If there is more, just have some more. ’

After watching it for a while, Veronica reminded: "Sir Ren, it seems that it likes the bear meat you feed it. However, many chicks have a history of being starved to death. You still have to pay attention to the amount of food."

At this time, there was a sound of birds flapping their wings outside the window, and a larger white seagull stopped by the window and looked at Veronica.

Veronica's face was filled with joy, and the twin ponytails on the back of her head swung happily, and said: "Your Excellency Renn, my mentor, Master Aeneus, has replied to my letter. It seems that we will know the answer soon."

The girl quickly walked to the window, opened it, and quickly communicated with the white seagull.

A few seconds later, Veronica said to Ren with a little surprise and resentment: "Sir Ren, you are really lucky. After identification, my instructor said that this is probably the egg of a wandering blood-feathered hippogryph."

"I've been searching for so long, why haven't I had such luck?"

"Blood-feathered hippogryph? Miss Veronica, can you briefly introduce it?" Ren asked with a raised eyebrow.

He had no idea what kind of bird it was.

"Of course, the Blood-feathered Hippogryph is ferocious in nature. It is a naturally violent species. It is different from other ferocious species of eagles. It does not fly very fast, but when it reaches adulthood, it is close to the size of a horse, with a wingspan of four to five meters and a muscular body. Strong, with a steel-hard beak and sharp claws, it is extremely good at hand-to-hand combat.”

"In addition, it is an adult blood-feathered hippogryph, with a pair of antlers on its head, which is a very distinctive symbol."

A melee raptor?

Although it was not what he had expected, some kind of raptor that could display its innate abilities, but who dared to say that its super hand-to-hand combat ability was not a talent?

Ren nodded, but frowned slightly and said, "Then Miss Veronica, why do the eggs of the blood-feathered hippogryph appear in the nest of the iron-beaked sea eagle?"

"Giggle, that's what I want to say." Veronica couldn't help but giggle, and her pretty face suddenly became as bright as a smile.

"The pressure of the blood-feathered hippogryph will force lower-level raptors to leave its nest. Then, the blood-feathered hippogryph will lay eggs in the opponent's nest. Generally speaking, only one or two eggs will be laid."

"At the same time, it will also release a special smell that will make the raptor think that the egg is its own, even if the two eggs are very different in size."

Ren nodded, he kind of understood.

"So, the blood-feathered hippogryph is still a kind of raptor that carries eggs as a parasite?"

Veronica shook her head and said: "It's really not the case. According to the instructor, blood-feathered hippogryphs rarely do this."

"Generally, when the living environment is stable, it will not choose to do this. It should be entrusted with eggs to parasitize when it encounters some special circumstances, such as fighting, competition, etc."

"So, as you can see, the eggs didn't hatch early and they didn't push the Iron-billed Sea Eagle chicks out of the nest."

Ren kind of understood.

From this point of view, he was really lucky this time, picking up an egg born from a ferocious species.

"By the way, the instructor also suggested that because the growth cycle of the blood-feathered hippogryph is longer than that of ordinary birds, and its temperament will quickly become extremely ferocious as it grows, so Sir Ren, please adopt the bird as soon as possible. A similar transformation technique that allows the other party to become familiar with you and at the same time promote their growth.”

"Thank you Miss Veronica, and at the same time, thank Master Anius for me." Ren bowed slightly and nodded.

Sure enough, by letting professionals do such professional things, he could get an almost optimal solution so quickly.

"By the way, Sir Ren, although you observed my bird transformation technique last time, you probably haven't mastered it yet, right? I'll try to demonstrate it to you once a day these days." Veronica was very enthusiastic said.

this

Looking at Veronica's sincere beautiful eyes, Ren didn't know what to say for a moment.

Saying that he has mastered the 'Aeneus Bird Transformation Technique'?

This kind of learning ability is too scary. After all, I only observed it once!

So, Ren thought for a moment, nodded, and said with a smile: "Then I'll trouble Miss Veronica. I'm really not very good at bird modification."

"Giggle, Sir Ren, your talent as a knight is already extremely outstanding. It would be normal if the goddess did not change your wizard qualifications to the same extent."

Veronica couldn't help but smile.

The two soon arrived at the simple alchemy room where Veronica was last time.

"Your Excellency Renn, you can use ready-made rapid growth potions, phantom grass, etc."

"But the moonlight ink used when drawing the six-pointed star witchcraft array later needs to be made by the caster himself. When you are making it, you need to inject extremely fine spiritual power into it to modulate it."

"In addition, moonlight ink is time-sensitive. It has the best effect within twelve hours. It can be barely used between twelve and twenty-four hours. But once it exceeds twenty-four hours, the special energy particles contained in it will Most of it will escape, making it almost impossible to draw a witch formation.”

"So, the first step is to prepare moonlight ink."

"The second difficulty is to draw the witchcraft formation by hand."

While Veronica once again demonstrated the Ainius bird transformation technique, she pointed out several difficulties in the bird transformation technique step by step.

Although Ren had already learned it, he seemed to be infected by the girl's sincerity and listened quite seriously.

As the demonstration of the girl with twin tails was completed, Renne, who was watching from the sidelines, once again received several system prompts:

[You have focused on observing Aeneus's bird transformation technique, and your related understanding has improved! 】

[Your skill Aeneus Bird Transformation has been improved, and the experience value is +54]

[You focus on the bird transformation technique of Aeneus, the wizard apprentice (extraordinary) experience value +132]

[Congratulations, your skill Aeneus Bird Transformation has been upgraded to lv2]

After gaining 54 experience points again, Renn's Aeneus Bird Transformation Technique suddenly stepped from lv1 (69/100) to lv2 (23/300).

Scattered memory fragments of Aeneus's bird transformation technique began to pour into Ren's mind, and these memories were quickly absorbed and mastered by Ren.

"Your Excellency Renn, just observing and imitating is not enough, why don't you give it a try?" the girl with twin ponytails wiped the fine sweat on her forehead and said.

After thinking about it, Ren felt that after observing twice, and with Veronica's careful teachings, he could complete some of the steps now, so it shouldn't seem so exaggerated.

So, Ren nodded and said: "Of course, Miss Veronica, I'll try it right now."

"Of course, Sir Ren, you can try it first." Veronica smiled and got out of the way. She planned to see how much Ren had mastered.

Perhaps, after failing seven or eight times, we should be able to prepare the moonlight ink? Veronica thought so.

five minutes later

Seeing the moonlight ink that was a success in Ren's hand and exuding light fluorescence, Veronica was stunned for a moment and said: "Your Excellency Ren, this is great. You have overcome the first difficulty."

Ten minutes later.

Veronica looked at the new witch formation on the ground that was almost exactly the same as the one she drew. For a moment, her beautiful eyes widened and her little mouth opened slightly.

She felt that maybe she should take back what she said before.

The goddess seems to have really given Lord Ren a wizard talent that is as outstanding as his knight talent!

After placing the blood-feathered hippogryph chick on the cushion in the center of the witch formation, Ren held the potion and began to recite the spell.

As the system prompts, it also means that the witchcraft is successfully performed.

[You have performed the Aeneus Bird Transformation Technique, and the related understanding has been improved! 】

[Your skill Aeneus Bird Transformation has been improved, and the experience value is +142]

[You focus on the bird transformation technique of Aeneus, the wizard apprentice (extraordinary) experience value +278]

And Ren clearly felt that there was some strange connection between him and the blood-feathered hippogryph chick.

This was not due to the effect of the bird transformation technique. It seemed to be because he had used the bird transformation technique, which made the system recognize that he and the baby bird had established a pet relationship.

Sure enough, the system prompt is as follows:

【Ding! The host has contracted a violent beast for the first time, and the current number of contracted pets (3/3)]

【Ding! Detecting the host triggers the core event of changing the profession of Beast Tamer Master (Legendary) - the contract turns into a ferocious beast! 】

[The prerequisites for promotion to Beast Tamer Master (Legendary) are: 1. Beast Tamer (Extraordinary) level 5 or above; 2. Mental power of 24 points or above; 3. Owning any three or more ferocious beasts as pets; 4. At least The current conditions for cultivating an ordinary animal into a ferocious beast do not meet the requirements, and the promotion to Master Beast Tamer (Legendary) failed! 】

Huh?

Seeing the system prompt that suddenly popped up, Ren read it carefully several times and felt quite happy!

Because when the prerequisites for a profession are listed, although it is sometimes difficult, at least you know what is missing and where to start to meet the conditions one by one.

After being transformed by witchcraft, the blood-feathered hippogryph chick was obviously a bit bigger. At this time, it ran over very affectionately, rubbed against Ren, then opened its mouth wide and chirped a few times, as if it was shouting. 'I'm hungry! ’

Veronica saw this scene and said with envy: "Sir Ren, can you lend me the blood-feathered hippogryph for two days? Don't worry, I will take good care of it."

"Of course." Renn nodded and said with a smile.

It just so happened that he still had to think about and sort out a few other things, but it was not beautiful to be disturbed by the fledglings.

After returning to his room, Renn began to think about the advice given by Captain Baron.

To promote the quasi-mystery to the mysteries, a key point for him is to improve the 'Bear King Breathing Technique'.

It happened that he still had some skill points left. After thinking about it, Ren decided to try the effect first.

As Ren added 1 skill point to the Bear King's Breathing Technique, the Bear King's Breathing Technique was quickly upgraded from lv9 to lv10.

In an instant, a torrent of training memories about the Bear King Breathing Method poured into Ren's mind.

These breathing method training memory fragments flashed through Ren's mind like a long movie, and then, like instinct, they were integrated into the body's memory.

When Ren opened his eyes again, it was as if he had gone through years of hard training in the Bear King Breathing Technique.

At this moment, he clearly felt that the blood circulation in his body was accelerating. It was as if there was an oven in his body, providing a large amount of heat and some strange transformation to his body.

At the same time, Renn could feel that the muscles and fascia in his body were becoming stronger.

At this moment, the wisp of force that was originally as thick as a little finger quickly became as thick as an index finger and circulated rapidly throughout the body.

Although there is constant consumption during the circulation process, it seems that every time it passes through a body part, there are millions of cells, providing this force stream with even a tiny drop of force water.

Therefore, after accumulating little and adding up, the force stream can still remain as thick as the index finger and continue to grow.

At this moment, Ren felt the strengthening of the Force and the powerful power contained in his body. He could feel that he was only one step away from truly mastering the secret.

It was as if there was only a layer of window paper left in front of him, and he could achieve his goal with just a push.

But it is a pity that the remaining skill points on his attribute panel are already 0.

However, Renn took another look at the professional level of Weapon Master (Legendary). Due to the previous combat experience reward, it had reached lv4 (649/1000), which was already halfway through.

Even if he continues to practice step by step, if nothing unexpected happens, he should be able to achieve this goal before going to Münster to take the 'Sword Holder' assessment.

Next is the battle review.

What struck Ren the most this time was not the difficulty of the alliance's curse masters, nor the changeable nature of the opponent's curse, but the touching and understanding of the team's battle.

Maybe some defensive witchcraft didn't touch him much, but others were different.

For example, the witchcraft 'walking on water' that Veronica gave him before the battle allowed him to fight on the water as if he were on the ground, which was of extraordinary significance.

Secondly, the witchcraft 'Swift Wind' cast by Nathaniel on him increased his speed by about 20% again. You must know that if his speed increases by another 20%, the increase in combat effectiveness may be as high as 40%. .

The above two kinds of witchcraft with different effects, in Renn's opinion, greatly improved his combat effectiveness.

It is precisely because of the various witchcraft supports provided by the other members of the Ichthyosaurus Team to Captain Baron in the battle that Baron was able to survive in the face of the Curse Master who was extremely restrained by him.

Another point is that Renn has a hunch that since the special department of the Imperial Navy, the Tide Walkers, conducts tasks according to this small team model, the larger Empire's Sword Bearers organization should also have a similar structure.

But this is a follow-up matter. For him, he still has to continue to improve his strength.

This time I happened to encounter a Curse Master who was good at cursing. If it had been a wizard from other departments, he probably wouldn't have been able to deal with it so easily.

In addition, the stronger he is, the more confident he will be when faced with possible two-way choices from teammates in the future.

After thinking about it, Ren walked behind the desk, opened the drawer, took out the parchment of 'Blood Fury Archery', and started to read it carefully.

He planned to improve his bow skills first, which would give him an additional long-range attack ability.

After carefully watching the 'Blood Fury Bow Technique' several times, Ren Ruo realized something, left the room, and came to the training room of the Fishing Port Town Administration Hall.

"Lord Baron!"

"Good day, Lord Baron!" The guards, security guards and night watchmen greeted Renn one after another.

Renn nodded and said: "You guys practice your own."

"As you command, Lord Baron."

Ryan came to the archery field nearby, picked up a strong bow with the highest poundage, and started practicing on his own.

With the foundation of basic archery, Ryan got the hang of Blood Rage Archery very quickly. Not long after, the system prompt appeared:

[You practiced Blood Rage Archery, and the relevant comprehension improved! ]

[You comprehended a new skill - Blood Rage Archery]

[Your skill Blood Rage Archery has been improved, experience value +2]

[It is detected that the host has practiced basic archery, which is also an archery. Do you want to merge it into Blood Rage Archery? This fusion will consume 0 skill points. ]

(Note: After fusion, basic archery will not be displayed on the panel, but the host can still use related moves.)

(Note: After fusion, Blood Rage Archery will absorb the advantages of basic archery and improve it, and the host's experience value in basic archery will be converted into the experience value of improved Blood Rage Archery according to a certain ratio.)

Looking at the above system prompts, Ryan nodded slightly in his heart.

He had expected this, because the previous basic swordsmanship and the military swordsmanship of the Dragun Empire were both one-handed swordsmanship, so it was the same.

Without much hesitation, Ryan immediately chose "yes".

Then, the basic archery lv3 on the Weapon Master (Legend) panel suddenly disappeared, and the Blood Rage Archery lv1 (78/100) appeared instead.

More than half of the basic archery lv3 did not even reach the Blood Rage Archery lv2 after the transformation, which surprised Ryan.

It seems that the level of this Blood Rage Archery should be far above the basic archery.

But soon, Ryan showed joy on his face, because for him, the stronger the extraordinary combat skills are, the better. As for the difficulty of practicing?

Haha, he has a cheat.

After a careful experience for a while, Ryan found that the Blood Rage Archery after the integration of the basic archery had basically no changes, which also proved from another side that the Blood Rage Archery is far higher than the basic archery in terms of level.

In other words, after this fusion, the improvement and improvement of the Blood Rage Archery is very small.

Then, Ryan continued to practice the Blood Rage Bow.

With the bonus of the experience value of the talent ‘Primary Extraordinary Comprehension’, Ryan successfully upgraded the Blood Rage Bow to level 2 one hour later.

Almost at the same time, some scattered memories of practicing the Blood Rage Bow poured into Ryan’s mind and gradually merged into Ryan’s muscle memory.

——

Offshore of Mayest County.

In the sea water more than ten meters deep.

If Ryan was at the scene, he would be very surprised, because in front of him was an ellipsoidal metal object of 20 to 30 meters long, similar to the Nautilus in the 19th century novel Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea.

Although the outer shells are all iron shells connected by rivets, the technical level does not seem to be very advanced, but in the Dragun Empire, it is also an unimaginable advanced product.

In the submersible.

The federal brigadier general is talking to the young man Jonistan.

"Jonistan, is there any definite news about Volod's map of the ruins of the ancient goblin empire? Have you contacted the Zalal rebels? Have you received any feedback?"

"Well, Brigadier General, I contacted the rebels half a day ago, but strangely, after so long, there is no news from them." Jonistan said with a frown.

"These rebels usually ask for assistance more frequently than anyone else, but now when we really need them, we can't contact them." The federal brigadier general said with anger on his face.

"Mr. Nehru of the 'Leviathan Squad' asked us for information about the fishing port town. Now the strength of the Imperial Navy in the nearby waters has begun to increase, and we have little window left."

"If there is no more news, send a message to Mr. Nehru and ask him to give up the plan to attack the fishing port town."

"However, the young knight of the Dragun Empire with the rare talent 'Iron Will' he mentioned should still be investigated."

"This kind of person with special talents will pose a potential threat to our federation, so we should try to nip it in the bud as much as possible." The middle-aged man's face condensed, thought for a while, and said.

"Yes, Brigadier General." Jonistan bowed slightly and said.

At this time, an officer in a light blue uniform came to Jonistan, whispered a few words, and handed him something.

"Hey, Brigadier General, as soon as you mentioned the Zalal rebels, their news came." Jonistan took the information and said to the middle-aged man with a smile.

"What did they say?"

"Well, let me see." Jonistan quickly opened the information and read it at a glance. In less than a minute, he said with a little surprise:

"General, it turns out that the base of the Zalal rebels in Meister County has been destroyed by the Dragun Empire. No wonder there has been no news for so long."

"Well? So, the Zalal rebels can't be counted on?" The general was obviously a little surprised. After all, the rebels were doing well in other counties in the Dragun Empire's Munster Province, and there was no news of the base being taken down.

Could it be that the defense of Meister County is so strong?

"That's not the case, sir. This intelligence is from a spy of the Zalal rebels in Meister County."

"Intelligence says that their person in charge in Meist County was killed by a new baron of the Dragon Empire named Renn. In addition, we want information about the coastal defense force of Meist County. Here, the most critical information is also about this Ren. ”

"Oh, what should I say?" The brigadier general was obviously interested.

"The governor and peace officer of Fishing Port Town are both served by this imperial baron named Renn."

"Hey, if you say that, the young man that Nehru is looking for is very likely to be this Ren?"

"Brigadier General, if the information about Zalal's resistance is correct, I think it should be so."

"The intelligence says that Baron Wren is nicknamed 'Baron Hammer'. This matches what Lord Nehru described about his age, his good use of weapons, such as a two-handed war hammer, etc." Qiao Nistan thought for a while, nodded.

The brigadier general pondered for a moment and then said: "Then you should immediately pass this information to His Excellency Nehru. At the same time, advise him to make as little noise as possible if he really wants to attack Fishing Port Town and kill Baron Wren."

"Yes, Brigadier General!" The young man Jonistan slowly backed away and turned away.

"Now that the activities of cults in various places have obviously intensified, maybe soon we will have a common enemy with the Dragon Empire. At least, we can still cooperate with the Empire in some aspects," the Brigadier murmured in a low voice.
