The wizard starts by trimming the donkey's hooves

Exter knew it very well.

After he entered the crystallized wizard level, it was extremely difficult to improve.

At this time, if he wanted to continue to improve his strength, he had to find a way to please the great hunting god and pray for the blessing of the gods.

And if he sacrificed ordinary people, unless the number was in units of 100,000, otherwise, the corresponding blessing would not be enough for him to enter a higher level.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

"What a coincidence, Freeman, Burrigus is back as well." Exter said with a smile.

Burrigus?

Hearing this name, Freeman's face froze.

The other party, like him, was Exter's deputy. When Exter was hiding behind the scenes, the two of them fought fiercely.

When Exter opened the door, Freeman saw the familiar figure of the other party.

However, this time, the other party held something like a picture frame in his hand.

Because the thing was covered by a black cloth, Freeman could only guess roughly.

"Your Excellency the Archbishop, Freeman is here too." Obviously, Burrigs didn't expect Freeman to be here today. He just grinned at Freeman and said hello.

"It seems that the mission went smoothly." After closing the door, Exter focused his attention on the black cloth frame in Burrigs' hand.

This made Freeman quite curious, and he immediately focused his attention on the item.

"Lucky success!"

Burrigs didn't keep it a secret, and immediately took off the black cloth.

Sure enough, as Freeman guessed, it was a painting.

When Burrigs turned the painting to them, Freeman's pupils suddenly shrank and his face was shocked!

Immediately, he thought of something and blurted out:

"Your Excellency the Archbishop, is this the painting called 'Gaze' in the history of the church?"

"Yes, Freeman, it seems that you have spent time studying the ancient books of the church recently." Exter smiled slightly.

The scene in this painting is very simple.

A boy of seven or eight years old is holding a girl puppet, standing in front of a glass panel door. On the inside of the square glass on the door, there are various handprints like children's graffiti.

These handprints are very small, they should all be children, but the direction of the palms is inconsistent.

But if you look closely at the glass door, it seems that there are many short transparent figures inside.

The most terrifying thing about this painting is that the eyes of the girl puppet are completely black, and the boy's eyes are also the same. The two of them are slightly turned sideways and staring in a certain direction.

Although they are obviously turned sideways, people who look at this painting have a creepy feeling of being stared at.

——

At the same time.

Meister County City, Count Habsburg's Mansion.

"I didn't expect that after the fusion of breathing methods, the effect of further improving physical fitness is so good." Ryan's eyes lit up.

However, Ryan thought of another thing immediately.

Now the fusion effect of the Fire Iguana Breathing Method is so good, then what about the Blood Breathing Method?

First of all, can he practice it?

If he can, will the effect after fusion be better?

Thinking of this, Ryan was a little excited and lost all sleepiness.

After thinking about it, Ryan walked out of the bedroom and walked towards Claire's room.

"Dongdongdong!"

"Who?" A female voice with a hint of vigilance came out.

"It's me, Ryan."

Ryan could clearly feel Claire's breathing relax, and with the sound of footsteps coming from inside, the door opened soon.

Claire was wearing a white silk nightgown, low-cut and hollow, showing a large area of ​​white and delicate, and a belt of the same style was tied around her waist.

Because the belt slightly tightened the narrow and elastic waist, Claire's towering chest and the plump buttocks below the waist were extremely prominent.

Claire had never expected that Ryan would come to see her so late. She had already changed into her pajamas and rested.

When she opened the door, she saw Ryan's eyes clearly lingering on a certain place for a while.

Claire realized that her pajamas were not only hollowed out in many places, but also made of thin silk that was almost translucent. Immediately, the girl's fair face turned red.

"Ryan, you..." Claire's heart was pounding.

Ryan came to see her at this time. Could it be that he wanted to...

"Hey Claire, it's like this. I want to ask if the blood breathing method can only be practiced by people with a specific bloodline?"

Hearing Ryan's question, Claire's beautiful eyes looked at Ryan with a strange look, as if to say, 'You woke me up in the middle of the night just to ask this? '

"Of course."

"In fact, it's not just ordinary people who can't practice it. If the blood concentration of the offspring is not enough, it's also impossible to practice the blood breathing method completely."

After hearing Claire's answer, Ryan nodded. He was not surprised by this conclusion.

However, Ryan is different from others in one aspect. He has a system.

So. Whether it works or not, you have to try it to know.

Just now Ryan thought about this problem. If he can practice the blood breathing method, then the problem comes.

Where can he get a copy of the blood breathing method?

The answer is obvious. The most likely one is the Habsburg family.

"Claire, I wonder if you can let me take a look at the Habs family's bloodline breathing method? Of course, if it's top secret or embarrassing, then forget it."

Ren thought about his words and spoke in as tactful a tone as possible.

"sure."

To Ren's surprise, Claire readily agreed.

She turned around immediately, took out a parchment from the cabinet in the bedroom and handed it to Ren.

"Thanks!"

Surprised, Ren opened it immediately and started reading.

Soon, he discovered the difference between the bloodline breathing method and the ordinary breathing method. The bloodline breathing method added some specific induction descriptions to the action and posture annotations on the side.

For example, the first action requires sensing the special rhythm of a certain part of the body before it can be completed.

This made Ren look thoughtful. Soon, he ignored Claire's presence and immediately made the first move in Claire's room.

Claire looked at Ren with interest, feeling both happy and a little disappointed.

It is naturally a good thing that his guardian knight is so motivated.

But the reason why he came to her so late at night was really to practice.

This made her a little disappointed!

Renn repeated the first move several times.

He was sure that there was nothing wrong with his movements and posture, but he didn't feel the rhythm of his shoulder blades at all.

According to the requirements of the Blood Vein Breathing Method, it is considered complete only when you feel this rhythm.

"Claire, do you know about the blood breathing methods of other families? Are there also requirements for this kind of special induction?"

"Yes, this is a special effect that can only be achieved by people with bloodline who practice the corresponding bloodline breathing method." Claire nodded.

Ren nodded.

From this point of view, he should really be unable to practice the bloodline breathing method.

This couldn't help but make him feel slightly regretful.

For him, as long as he can get started, he can add points through the system to directly improve and integrate the blood breathing method.

But it's a pity that the blood breathing method seems to be insulated from him.

"It seems that the only way to go back to the branch is to exchange for an excellent level of breathing technique." Renn thought to himself.

Early the next morning, the sky had just turned white, and there were dewdrops on the green leaves of the garden.

Renn had already mounted Xiaohei on the fast-trotting wildebeest, and beside him were Claire and others who were seeing them off.

Langer and the other three have already taken one step ahead of Renn and returned to Nome Province.

"Ren, if you have anything else to do in Meiste, you can contact me directly. I should be in Meiste in the next two months."

Claire looked at Ren with her beautiful eyes and said.

In the situation that Meister is facing this time, if it were not for Renn, I am afraid that the hundreds of years of heritage of the Habs family would be destroyed.

Especially in the end, the Black Flame Cult’s trump card was to resurrect an epic warrior from ancient times.

If Ren hadn't resisted the opponent, even if His Highness the Dragon Knight Menia could rush to the rescue quickly, he would have to wait for the opponent to arrive and collect the bodies for the Habsburg family.

"Well, there is one thing. Originally, I wanted to take some time to go there by myself."

"Claire, Lord Hamilton, the sacrificed Sheriff of Goldshire, his family members should be in the county. I hope you can help take care of them."

"Of course, no problem, Xia Diya, help me find out where Hamilton's widow lives, and I will go there myself."

Claire turned her head and said to the head maid beside her.

"Okay, Miss Claire." The head maid bowed slightly and responded.

After saying goodbye, Renn's figure gradually disappeared at the end of the road.

Regarding Ren's departure, the head maid also felt a sense of loss and said: "Miss, why don't you let Mr. Ren stay?"

"It can be seen that you still have a good impression of Mr. Renn, and Mr. Renn also likes you very much."

Claire shook her head, her face turned slightly red, but she did not deny it and said:

"It's not appropriate now. Meister's side, as well as my father's and family's matters, I have to deal with them first."

"Besides, I'm about to wake up!"

"What, you...are you about to wake up?" The head maid lightly covered her mouth and her eyes widened.

As Claire's personal maid since childhood, Xia Diya naturally knows more than others.

As a bloodline aristocracy, the Habs family does not necessarily have the ability to awaken in each generation due to the insufficient blood purity of its descendants.

For example, in the previous generation, Claire's father's generation, no one could awaken their bloodline talent.

——

On a military airship.

Renn frowned slightly when he saw the wounded coming and going.

These wounded soldiers are often of good strength, either formal knights or senior knights. Judging from the epaulettes, they are at least captains or majors, but they are basically missing arms and legs.

There were also several seriously injured people, whose lower bodies were cut off by some huge force. At this time, they survived by chance and were about to be transported to the rear for treatment.

"It stands to reason that with the Empire's guardians like His Highness Dragon Knight Menia taking action, the frontline of the battlefield should be unstoppable."

"Why does it look like there are still so many casualties?"

Renn was about to stop a colonel who was responsible for transporting the wounded and ask about it. Suddenly, he saw a familiar figure appearing on the airship.

Immediately, he changed his mind and stepped forward: "You are from the Velociraptor Team."

"Hey, it's Mr. Renn! I didn't expect to meet you here. My name is Odins." A member of the Velociraptor team named Odins couldn't help but look surprised when he saw Renn and greeted him warmly.

Odins was one of the people that Ren rescued from the Blood Curse Naga Cave, and he belonged to the Earthshaker's "Velociraptor" team.

"Odins, can we chat for a few words?" It would be great to meet someone familiar, Ren said with a smile.

"sure."

The two immediately arrived at Renne's independent cabin.

"Is the battle on the front line of Fishing Port Town still fierce? Hasn't Her Royal Highness the Red Queen Menia already taken action?" Ren asked while making Yorton black tea.

"Eh? Mr. Ren, how do you know that this is confidential information." Odins said with a surprised look on his face.

But he seemed to think of something immediately, Odins then said:

"Yes, there was too much movement that day. Most of the people on the front line saw it. It is normal for some of them to spread."

"That day?"

"That's right, Lord Renne, didn't you see the beam of light that day?" Odins looked puzzled. It seemed that the information channel opposite to Lord Renne was different from what he had guessed.

"Is His Highness Menia fighting with the enemy?"

"This." Odins looked embarrassed.

Renn immediately understood that this should be confidential information, and according to regulations, Odins could not disclose it.

However, Ren thought for a while, then took out a red dragon scale slightly larger than an adult's hand from his arms, showed it, and said: "These are the red dragon scales that His Highness Menia gave me, so..."

"What!" Odins's eyes widened and he said in shock.

He was still hesitating whether to violate the rules and tell some confidential information to Lord Ren, who had rescued him.

But as soon as he saw the red dragon scales, Odins knew that his worries and hesitations were unnecessary.

Immediately, like pouring beans through a bamboo tube, he told Ren everything about the situation:

"The forbidden door was opened by the Sea Clan and the Poseidon Sect jointly. The three-headed sea dragon with devil's tail is said to be a divine creature. Her Highness the 'Red Queen' Menia failed to successfully kill the opponent, allowing the opponent to escape into the deep sea."

"Sir Ren, do you know about the Forbidden Door? It is said that the ancient human kingdom and the Righteous Church sealed some evils that are difficult to eradicate within it."

Ren nodded, while frowning.

"It turns out that behind the forbidden door is the devil-tailed three-headed sea dragon."

"Yes, Sir Ren, you didn't see the power of the other party, it's too terrifying!"

"The huge body of thirty to forty meters high stirred up huge waves. Facing the three-headed devil-tailed sea dragon, I, a great knight, felt like my whole body was trembling, let alone other ordinary soldiers."

"I happened to be at the scene at that time, and the 'Red Queen' used a sacred weapon to severely injure the opponent, and this turned the tide."

"Odins, are there many forbidden gates within the empire's territory?"

"I'm not sure about this, but this kind of information should be top secret in the empire."

Ren nodded, that was indeed the case.

It is estimated that Admiral Edward, the head of the Munster Sword Bearer Division, may not know this kind of information, let alone Odins.

He was too anxious.

After Odins left, Ren crossed his arms and paced back and forth in the cabin.

“Why does the world feel like it’s getting more and more dangerous?”

"Or is it that it has always been so dangerous just because my level was too low before, so I had no way to understand it?"

"The Forbidden Door? Could it be that the ancient hero Meng was also opened and rescued by the Black Flame Church from this kind of door?"

"Also, they are divine creatures! Those with the word "divine" are probably not easy to mess with. They should be much stronger than the ancient hero Monger."

After thinking for a long time, Ren sighed.

Since switching to Warhammer Wizard, Renn is still secretly happy about the progress he has just made.

In addition, with the big tree of the Empire at his back, Renn felt that he had the power to protect himself in this extraordinary world.

But now it seems.

His strength is still not strong enough!

The strength of Her Highness the ‘Red Queen’ Menia is unfathomable, and Renne experienced it personally that day.

But even the opponent couldn't take down the three-headed demon-tailed sea dragon that had been banned for a long time and its strength was greatly reduced. You can deduce the enemy's strength.

"No wonder the frontline can only gain a certain advantage, but cannot completely eliminate or expel the opponent."

At this time, a system prompt came quietly:

【Congratulations! Your physical attributes are improved! 】

"Um?"

"The effect of the fused breathing method is so obvious?" Renn raised his eyebrows and asked.

Open the properties panel and take a look:

Constitution: 45

Strength: 46

Agility: 45

Spirit: 55

Will (hidden attribute): 2

"Also, the original Bear King Breathing Technique can barely be considered a sophisticated level. After all, it is an improvement from the ordinary Giant Bear Breathing Technique fused with the Internal Breathing Technique. There are only seven movements."

"And the current Fire Bear Breathing Technique has twenty-four movements."

"Even on my current senior knight-level body, it has a considerable beneficial effect."

Renn could feel the continuous slight heat in small muscle groups such as his calves and waist.

It's like something is slowly nourishing those small muscle groups and fascia.

I remember getting up this morning and this feeling was most obvious after he had practiced all twenty-four movements.

"Slightly hot in the waist?"

"My waist is good and my kidneys are good? So my physical condition has improved?"

In addition, Ren seemed to have a feeling that his sensitivity to the surrounding flame energy particles was slightly stronger.

But this change is very weak.

If he wasn't in the spirit of a formal wizard, he really wouldn't be able to feel this change.

But he is not sure yet whether it is a natural increase in the concentration of energy particles around him. Claire has told him about this.

If measured numerically, it is approximately the change in decimal places.

This made Renn think deeply.

"In the knight stage, the Giant Bear Breathing Technique was combined with the Iron Mane Bear King's advanced magic potion. Finally, the body underwent some kind of evolution, or mutation, and thus gained extraordinary characteristics."

"Then, as he advanced to become a great knight, his extraordinary characteristics were strengthened again and turned into talents."

"seem."

As he thought about it, Ren seemed to vaguely grasp a clue.

"The main purpose of breathing is to change a person's physical fitness."

"At the same time, there is a small chance that people will undergo some kind of mutation, which will cause people to develop extraordinary characteristics."

"For ordinary people, the process ends at this point."

"But because I have a system, I further expanded this mutation and turned it into a talent!"

"Then, that is, if you..."

Thinking of this, Ren's eyes sparkled.

Not long after, the military airship arrived in Münster after several hours of flight.

Since he was bringing the trotting wildebeest and greyhound war dog with him, Renn naturally went back home first.

Mother Emma, ​​father Lane Sr. and sister Peppermint were all there, but Jennifer and Jenny were not.

After asking for a while, Ren found out that both of them had gone to expand new trade.

The reason is that the situation in Meist is turbulent. The overseas routes that originally docked from the fishing port town have been completely cut off due to the increasingly fierce battle between the Empire and the Sea Tribe.

Therefore, the newly established chamber of commerce had just made its first pot of gold, and it almost died.

The Chamber of Commerce supports many people, so it is definitely not possible to just sit back and have nothing.

Ren nodded, his heart sinking slightly.

He didn't stay long. After saying hello to his family, he quickly came to the Sword Bearer Branch.

After thinking about it, Ren thought it was better to go to the mission hall first.

One is to hand over the task, and the other is to meet Olena and ask when Admiral Edward will be free.

However, when Ren arrived at the mission hall, he found that there seemed to be many more people here than usual.

Some of them seemed to have unfamiliar faces, which made him slightly curious.

So lively?

It's a bit rare.

It's just that if you queue up, you will probably waste less than half an hour.

After thinking for a moment, Renn walked to the service desk nearby and said to a girl in uniform: "Is the Undersecretary of Affairs Olena here?"

"Yes, but, sir, Vice Minister Olena has been busy these two days and may not have time to receive you."

"You tell Sir Olena that Ren is back."

"This." The female staff member looked embarrassed.

Doesn’t this sword-wielding master understand the words?

She said it politely, Lady Olena is very busy.

"Why aren't you going?" Renn glanced at the other party in surprise.

Ren's glance made the female staff member feel a pressure, and she immediately said:

"Okay, sir, I will go and report now, but Deputy Secretary Olena may not have time. You can rest on the sofa for a while first."

"Um."

After a while, Renn saw Olena, a capable young woman, who walked out of the office quickly and waved to Renn very enthusiastically.

The female staff member who went to report the incident looked at this scene in surprise.

Her boss specifically told her early in the morning not to let others disturb her. What now?

Also, why is my boss looking so deliberately trying to please?

This was her first time seeing it!

In Olena's office.

"Sir Ren, I didn't expect you to come back one day later than me." Olena said with a smile.

"Yes, Your Excellency Olena, I want to hand over a few tasks this time." Ren said, and took out the gold-level sword wielder emblem from his arms.

"Of course, you go and settle all three tasks of Lord Ren." Olena turned her head and said to the young staff member beside her.

"Oh, okay, Lady Olena." The female staff member respectfully took Ren's emblem and left quickly.

When she put the emblem into the card slot, the tasks refreshed on the wisdom stone board instantly made her eyes widen and her mouth slightly opened.

"Completed five gold-level tasks."

"No, one of them is a diamond-level mission!"

The pretty female staff member was dumbfounded as she checked line by line:

"Killing Galina is a one-star gold mission!"

"Investigating the Golem Guards is a two-star gold task. No, it has been raised to three stars!"

"Killing 'Bloodburner' Ra'xul also increases the rating to three and a half stars!"

"Protect the governor of Meist County City, one star of gold!"

"Investigating the truth behind the Meist attack, Diamond Star, and a Three Diamond Star!!"

"Oh my God!"

She finally understood why her boss, Olena, had an expression that was almost respectful and flattering when she saw the young man again.

This Lord Ryan is really amazing!
