The wizard starts by trimming the donkey's hooves

Wales County, in a manor.

"Master Priest, we just received an urgent message from the Bloodstained One." A black flame monk said respectfully to a slim female in black robe.

"Oh? Is it a letter from Lord Laxul? Bring it over and show it to me."

"As you command, my lord." Brother Black Flame handed over a slightly curled letter.

I saw a slender hand that was too white and bloodless stretched out, took the presented letter, lifted the hood, and looked at it.

At this time, the face in the hood was revealed, and it turned out to be a young woman with a charming face. Especially the dark brown eyes of the other party, and the makeup that looked like black eyeshadow around them, seemed to exude a special charm. Attractive and addictive.

This charming young woman is Galina Birkin, the chief priest of the Black Flame Cult in Wales.

As her thin lips opened slightly, she whispered softly:

"Claire, the daughter of Earl Habs, and his party are passing through Wales to Meist, and they are escorted by a certain amount of strength."

".Capture each other alive"

"There is an insider in the team. The opposing team is expected to camp in the woodland between the towns of Colma and Eze tonight."

After reading it, Galina looked thoughtful, and at the same time handed the opened letter to her subordinate, as if to let her subordinate take a look.

A few minutes later, Galina was heard saying:

"Since it is Lord Laxul's request, we naturally have to cooperate."

"Contact this agent to see where they are and determine where they will camp tonight.

"By the way, what is the strength of this count's daughter? Is there any special master around her? This needs to be investigated clearly."

"Now that we have it done, we must do it beautifully!"

"As you command, Master Priest."

The black-robed subordinate slowly retreated.

At this time, a smile appeared on Galina's lips, and she whispered:

"The 'Phantom Technique' is combined with the 'Explosive Black Flame' newly bestowed by the great God of Hunting. I have just mastered this new weapon not long ago, so I can try it out in actual combat."

"I hope the enemy this time is a little bit interesting."

Galina was originally a third-level wizard apprentice specializing in illusion. However, due to her limited talent, she tried her best to obtain the atomizing mixture, but she was unable to successfully break through to an official wizard. Instead, her strength was greatly reduced.

This gradually distorted her mentality, and coupled with Laxul's bewitchment, Galina became a believer in Rune, the God of Hunting, a few years ago.

Galina, who joined the Black Flame cult, performed extremely well in several missions, which earned her the favor of the God of Hunting during the Black Flame prayers and sacrifices. Not only did Galina successfully break through to the wizard, but she also became a A sorcerer.

In addition to part of the power of a magician coming from his own witchcraft, more of it comes from the blessings of the gods he serves. This kind of effect is like witchcraft, but more evil and weird spells are orthodoxly classified as Witchcraft.

And all those who use the power of evil magic given by evil gods can be collectively called magicians.

"Wait a minute, this training for Protestants within the province of Munster is being held here. We can just call them all to watch it."

"It can be used as training for actual combat, and it can also help them strengthen their belief that the empire is declining and be more proactive in embracing our Lord." Galina stopped her subordinates who were about to leave and said.

"As you command, Lord Priest." Black Flame Monk bowed again, then turned and retreated.

——

Welsh County.

A temporary camp on the side of the road.

Ren took a closer look and found that almost none of the conditions for his promotion to the 'King of Thousand Blades' could be met at present.

The only thing that has satisfied me so far is the Bear King Breathing Technique.

This also seems to show from the side that his level of breathing method is actually high enough, but the time he entered the extraordinary path is too short, so the effect of breathing method has not been fully reflected.

This is also normal.

Breathing is a continuous and slow change that improves the body. Normally, if an ordinary person wants to become a formal knight, he will need several years of breathing practice to enhance his physical fitness.

But Renn immediately thought of another point.

Since he can also add attribute points to his body, the effect is even less noticeable. It is likely that when there is an immediate improvement, it will be covered by the effect of the added points.

For example, because of the effect of the breathing method, Renne will soon face an improvement in strength or physique, but if he adds points to the strength or physique at this time, then naturally, the improvement effect brought by the breathing method will be eliminated. Add points to cover.

To put it another way, if a person already has the physical fitness of a great knight, then practicing the breathing method at the entry level will basically have no effect, or it will be minimal.

Another question is, are the nine mysteries needed?

Fortunately, it's not nine different categories of weapons.

As for the nine mysteries, this is difficult for others, but it's not bad for me, because I have already mastered five of them.

When Claire saw Ren standing there, she thought Ren was shocked by the legend of this ancient troll race, the ‘King of Thousand Blades’, so she joked:

"Ren, tell me, don't you have the blood of the ancient troll in you? Otherwise, why are you proficient in so many weapons and extraordinary combat skills?"

Looking at Claire's pretty face that was obviously joking, Renn couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but he was in a good mood. He shrugged and responded with a smile:

"This... probably doesn't exist."

In fact, at this time, Ren Xin said that there should be no troll essence and blood in the pair of ancient troll fangs absorbed by the transferred beast priest after so many years!

At this moment, he is naturally still a complete human being!

Since the 'Arcadia Swordsmanship' had already reached level 1 (12/100), Ren was about to ask Claire to continue.

At this time, the head maid Xia Diya came over, looked at Claire and Renn who were chatting and laughing, smiled and bowed and said: "Miss, Mr. Renn, lunch is ready."

Claire and Ren had lunch on the carriage.

Although it was in the wilderness, the head maid still prepared butter, white bread, grilled steak, etc. very thoughtfully.

"Ren, after lunch, we will continue our journey. Just ahead of us, about ten kilometers away from the Welsh county town, there is a manor under the name of Viscount Thrier. According to the agreement, we will meet there."

"Okay, Miss Claire."

"Viscount Thrier used to be his father's old subordinate and has always been on good terms with the Habs family. This time he sent a cavalry team led by two peak knights, with nearly ten senior knights and three teams of elite cavalry. A strong support.”

Although Ren had some doubts, he still nodded and did not ask.

Don’t you have the power of a great knight?

For Meister County, although the Peak Knight is considered a good player, it is far from being a master.

In other words, even if it has a certain effect, it will only slightly improve the situation, but it will not have much effect, let alone play a decisive role.

This made Renne understand a little bit about the dilemma the Habs family is currently facing.

Come to think of it, if it weren't for this, Claire wouldn't have come to him.

Through the carriage window, Ren saw the greyhound war dog 'Cookie' and the trotting wildebeest 'Xiao Hei', who were also well taken care of by the head maid Xia Diya, and were feasting on the side.

As for the blood-feathered hippogryph ‘Blood-feather’, it can forage on its own, so there is no need for Ren to worry about it.

After lunch, the group continued their journey, and about two hours later, the group arrived near the Selier Manor.

When he was still a few kilometers away from the manor, Ren actually saw a large group of cavalry and knights gathering at the gate of the manor from a distance.

Huh?

This amount is more than Claire said.

Moreover, the strength is also much stronger.

Especially the noble standing at the front of the team was actually guarded by two great knights.

This surprised Renn.

But the one who was even more surprised was Claire, who only heard her murmuring to herself: "Huh? Why is Earl Rodlin here too? Isn't that why there is this annoying guy?"

"Ren, Xia Diya, wait for me in your car." As if she was worried about something, Claire did not let Ren get out of the car with her.

As the distance between the team narrowed, Claire quickly got off the carriage out of politeness, bowed slightly to Lord Rodlin, and said, "Count Rodlin, why are you here?"

"Hello, Viscount Selier!" Claire greeted the thick-browed middle-aged man beside her again, and Selier quickly returned the greeting.

"Niece Claire, long time no see, she's getting more and more beautiful!" Earl Rodlin laughed.

"Thank you for the compliment."

"Claire" When Claire got off the carriage, a young man who looked quite similar to Count Rodlin next to him immediately came forward eagerly.

It seemed that the other party wanted to hold Claire's hand and kiss her hand!

However, for unmarried women, kissing hands is not a very polite behavior.

Claire's expression immediately changed and she immediately dodged the other person's outstretched hand. This made the young man look embarrassed and had to put down his hand and said, "Long time no see, Claire."

"Hello Rachel." Claire looked cold.

At this time, Earl Rodlin tried to smooth things over for his youngest son and said: "Ahem"

"Claire, Rachel actually cares about you very much. He has been telling me that he wants to send people to support you, but you also know that the situation in Wales County is also relatively turbulent."

At this point, the young man named Rachel puffed out his chest and looked at Claire with an affectionate look.

"I think, Claire, you know that Rachel has always liked you very much. If you can agree to Rachel's proposal and our two families marry, then no matter how dangerous the situation in Mayist is, we can The Rodlin family will never look back. ”

When he spoke the last four words, Earl Rodlin's voice suddenly became high-pitched, filled with an awe-inspiring aura of righteousness.

At this time, Ren heard the head maid Xia Diya whispering angrily:

"It's so shameless! It's so abominable! The Rodlin family doesn't even think about who helped them put down the rebellion of the family knights ten years ago!"

"Now, he is taking advantage of the situation and wants the young lady to marry this Rachel who is addicted to seducing women!"

After hearing Xia Diya's words, even if Ren didn't understand the situation anymore, he immediately understood Count Rodlin's plan.

This guy actually took advantage of the situation and wanted Claire to agree to his son's proposal before sending the reinforcements behind him.

Now, the big knight beside him and the group of knights and cavalry behind him are like bait, tempting Claire to agree.

However, as the daughter of Earl Habsburg, Claire is naturally familiar with some of the nobles' tricks, and she can see through the other party's thoughts immediately.

Claire's face changed slightly and she refused: "Count Rodlin, I'm really sorry, I really don't have any feelings for Rachel. Since the situation in Wales County is also relatively turbulent, let's stop with the reinforcements."

"Goodbye first."

"Wait!" Rodlin didn't expect Claire to refuse so decisively, without even considering it.

He first looked at his disappointing son with hatred, then turned his head to look at Claire's tight and exquisite figure, with a little greed on his face:

"Niece Claire, the current situation in Meister is too turbulent. As your elder, from the perspective of protecting you, I think it's better for you to stay in Wales County and wait for the situation to stabilize before returning."

As he spoke, Rodlin waved his hand without waiting for Claire to answer.

Suddenly, the two knights behind him walked towards Claire from the left and right sides quickly, and it seemed that they wanted to put Claire under house arrest.

This made Claire suddenly change color, and her pretty face froze, saying: "Count Rodlin, you are too much! Do you still want to detain me?"

"No, no, my dear niece Claire, I just want to protect your safety. Even if Count Habsburg knew, I believe he would not blame me." Rodlin shook his head proudly.

Rachel, who was standing aside, saw this scene and couldn't help blushing with excitement, saying: "Father, this should have been done a long time ago."

Viscount Cerill on the side had an ugly face and said: "Count Rodlin, you are doing this, isn't it a bit too much. After all, Count Habsburg..."

"Cerrill, you have to understand that you are just a viscount. Do you still have to teach me, the earl, to do things?" Count Rodlin looked at Cerill with displeasure and said.

At this time, Ryan in the carriage naturally couldn't stand it!

Damn it, this time he saw the ugly faces of some nobles. He never thought that he could do such a dirty thing, which was even more disgusting than kicking someone when he was down!

What a scumbag!

When the two-meter-tall black-haired young man in silver high-level knight armor walked down from Claire's carriage, the two knights who had originally looked relaxed suddenly became frosty and tense, as if facing a great enemy!

The two stopped right there.

Ryan looked relaxed, walked up, took the other's warm little hand, and pulled Claire behind him, saying, "Miss Claire, let me handle this."

Claire, whose hand was held by Ryan, instinctively pulled her hand away, but it didn't move at all, which made her face slightly red.

However, she looked at Ryan's tall figure and didn't say anything. Instead, she felt relieved!

When she saw a handsome young man getting off Claire's carriage, Rachel's eyes suddenly changed, and she yelled, "Who are you? How come you are on Claire's carriage!"

"Claire, I didn't expect you to be such a slut!"

This immediately made Ryan's face change!

"Swoosh!" Ryan disappeared on the spot!

"Be careful!" The two knights were about to stop him, but it was too late.

The next second!

"Pah!"

Rachel was slapped by Ryan, and immediately fell to the ground, like a radish planted in the ground, with a little blood and more than a dozen teeth scattered on the ground.

In fact, if you look closely, you can find that Rachel's entire mouth has been slapped crooked, and her face, which was barely handsome, is now disfigured.

Ryan's lightning-fast action made everyone around him change their faces!

Obviously, this black-haired young man is also a great knight, and from the perspective of strength, he seems to be stronger than the two great knights of the Earl of Rodlin's family.

The two great knights looked at each other.

The next second!

The two attacked Ryan from the left and right!

However, neither of them drew their weapons, and it seemed that there was still some room for maneuver.

"Be careful!" Claire shouted.

Ryan's face remained unchanged, and he turned around and kicked the ground, and a deep pit was suddenly stepped out of the ground.

With the force of this kick, Ryan was as fast as lightning, and he took the lead to the left and punched with his right fist!

"Bang!"

Ryan's punch hit the abdomen of the great knight, but he seemed to consider something and instantly retracted his strength.

But the force was still too strong, and the opponent's knight's breastplate was immediately broken into pieces, and the whole person was folded in half, his eyes bulged, and his hands and feet were stretched straight forward, like a folded paper!

"Bang!"

Then, Ryan turned around again, punched to the right with his left fist, and another figure immediately suffered the same fate as the previous great knight, more than twice as fast as the one that just rushed over, and flew backwards!

The two great knights both hit the horses beside them, and the crowd was in a panic.

The two war horses that were directly hit instantly broke their bones and died on the spot!

Seeing Ryan's power!

Even a fool would know that Ryan was not simple

It only took two punches to defeat two official great knights.

"Who are you! Do you know the consequences of attacking the imperial nobles!" Count Rodlin seemed to be worried about being hit by Ryan, and stood there without daring to move, but the injuries of his son and his men forced him to question with a sullen face.

"This is my guardian knight, Lord Ryan." Claire walked up slowly and said.

"Even if he is a guardian knight, can he attack nobles?" Rodlin pointed at his son who had half of his teeth pulled out, and said angrily with a victim's look.

"Want to make trouble for me? You are welcome at any time!" Ryan took out the golden emblem of the Imperial Sword Bearer and shook it in front of Rodlin.

"Sword Bearer!"

"And gold level!" Rodlin's face suddenly changed!

"You are so young, how can you be a gold level sword bearer!"

"You are welcome to complain to the Sword Bearer Munster Branch." Ryan waved his hand casually, and took Claire away without looking back.

"Those two great knights." Claire asked in a low voice.

"It's okay, don't worry, they won't die. The other party didn't draw their weapons, so I will naturally show mercy." Ryan explained to Claire.

Just now, Ryan used the newly learned intermediate secret of Kadar boxing, "Heavy Punch Combo", but it stopped abruptly. One punch per person, and he still had some strength left.

Seeing that he was completely helpless against the other party, Earl Rodlin said bitterly: "Let's go!"

The people behind him hurriedly left with two seriously injured knights and Rachel, whose head was buzzing from being hit.

At this time, Viscount Selyer, who was still at the scene, shouted to Claire: "Miss Claire, please wait. We will also go to Meister with you. You know what happened just now. After all, I am in Wales County, so..."

Claire smiled slightly, turned around and said: "Viscount Selyer, I can understand, and you are welcome to join."

She knew that Viscount Selyer was also forced by the situation, after all, they were in Wales County. If he offended Earl Rodlin, his life would be difficult. Among the nobles, it was rare for the other party to remain neutral and not embarrass her just now.

So, the whole team became much larger.

In terms of strength, there is no gap.

In addition to Ryan, the "senior knight", there are two more peak knights, a group of senior knights and dozens of cavalry.

At the same time.

In a manor somewhere in Wales County.

"How is it, where is the opponent's team, how is the news investigation?" Seeing the subordinates coming in, Galina flicked her slender fingernails and asked casually.

"Master Priest, the opponent is just as we expected, and is now heading towards the town of Colma. But."

"But what?"

"This daughter of Count Habsburg is likely to be protected by a senior knight." Immediately, the Black Flame Monk told the insider about what happened at the gate of the Seril Manor in detail.

"Two formal knights were knocked down with two punches. I'm afraid the opponent's strength is not an ordinary senior knight." After listening to the subordinates' report, Galina's face condensed and thought.

However, her face did not show any worry, but an expression of eagerness to try.

"It is very likely that he is a master who has truly mastered the secret. Otherwise, based on his physical fitness, it is impossible for a senior knight to kill two formal knights almost instantly."

"Haha, interesting, that should be a very good test subject!" Galina smiled charmingly and stood up.

After all, if the opponent is too weak, she will not even have the desire to use her killer move.

However, Galina suddenly found that her subordinates who had finished reporting did not leave, so she asked in confusion: "Why, do you have anything else to report?"

"The insider said that the other party showed a golden emblem before leaving. Judging from Earl Rodlin's attitude at the time, he was very afraid. Moreover, what about the golden sword holder?"

"But this news is not 100% accurate, because the insider stood a little far away and did not hear it very clearly at the time."

"What?" This made Galina's face change!

"Golden sword holder."

Galina naturally knew what a golden sword holder meant.

The imperial sword holder has always been the object of fear for these non-orthodox churches.

Because the sword bearers are not only strong, but also often act in teams, cooperate well, and are very difficult to deal with.

If the opponent is gold-level

It seems that the task given by Laxul this time is not easy at all!

"Is the opponent a person?" Galina asked.

"Yes, sir, this is clear, the opponent is a person!"

This made Galina feel relieved.

One person and a team, that is naturally not a difficult enemy.

Even if it is a gold-level sword bearer, if it is only one person, then she is very confident that she can win. After all, the opponent is a gold-level sword bearer who is on the road of knight.

There are still many ways to deal with it.

But to be on the safe side

"How is the assembly of that thing?" Galina turned to ask the subordinate.

"Master Priest, are you talking about the big guy that the church put here for experiment? It is almost assembled now, and it is almost ready for the prayer ceremony and activation." The black-robed subordinate reported.

"Tell the craftsmen to speed up the process, I need it tonight!"

"Although dozens of craftsmen are working overtime, I'm afraid it may not be in time tonight, Master Priest."

"Haha, if we kill a craftsman, won't it be in time?" Galina smiled evilly.

The black-robed subordinate was immediately shocked by this and bowed his head respectfully, "Master Priest, I'll do it right away."

Looking at the subordinate who left in a panic, Galina nodded with satisfaction!

With that thing, there shouldn't be any accidents tonight.
