The wizard starts by trimming the donkey's hooves

But what frightened Brino even more was.

Logically, her scream just now should have attracted the attention of her family and servants soon.

But so far, she hadn't heard anyone talking or moving.

This made her more and more uneasy.

Brino planned to escape from the window. As long as she opened the window, she could

But the next second, she was stunned.

Because she just looked up at the window.

The boy who was supposed to be on the corridor outside the door was sitting on the window sill at this moment, still holding the female puppet doll in his hand, staring at her blankly.

"Ah!!!"

——

At the same time.

The Sword Bearer Division.

Ryan quickly calculated in his mind while walking on the road.

"If you add points to the new witchcraft 'Metal Barrier' and upgrade it directly to level 2, the casting time should be reduced by about 20% from 3 seconds to 2.4 seconds."

"But 2.4 seconds is still too slow."

"If you add 2 skill points and reach level 3, it will be further reduced from 2.4 seconds to 1.9 seconds."

"And if you add 3 points, it will be level 4, and the casting time will be about 1.5 seconds."

"."

"If you add all 5 skill points, it will be level 6, uh, 1 second casting time."

"It can be optimized."

"That is, if you first upgrade 'Metal Barrier' to level 2 through practice, and then add 5 skill points, it will be level 7, which means it only takes 0.8 seconds to cast!"

Ryan raised his eyebrows!

This casting time is basically quite practical, after all, the casting time has exceeded 1 second.

If this were placed in the hands of an ordinary wizard or wizard apprentice, it would probably take six or seven years of hard training, syllable compression exercises, etc. to achieve this level of proficiency.

Of course, it would be best to continue to reduce the time and make it shorter!

"But for this, at least 5 more skill points are needed!"

Ryan glanced at the combat professions on the system panel. Both the Warhammer Wizard (Legend) and the Weapon Master (Legend) were difficult to upgrade quickly.

"It seems that at that time, the only way to quickly gain skill points is to seek a career change."

"Inscription?" Two words flashed through Ryan's mind.

Since Claire told him about learning inscriptions, he had thought about it and would find an inscriptionist as soon as possible to learn it.

"It is very likely that inscriptions are related to the subsequent job change of the armor forger."

While thinking, Ryan soon came to the training hall.

He remembered very clearly that the very proactive welcoming girl last time said very clearly that there was a witchcraft test room on the third floor, and the attack power test room on the second floor he went to before was mainly for testing extraordinary combat skills.

Soon, Ryan came to the third floor, and the door with the words "Witch Power Test Room" on the doorplate.

The door was open, and inside was a similar indoor training room with an area of ​​400 to 500 square meters, but the number of people was much less than that of the attack power test room on the second floor.

Yes, from the time Ryan joined the sword bearer assessment, the number of pure wizard apprentices accounted for less than one-tenth.

Even if those who also studied the knight path are included, the total number is estimated to be no more than one-fifth.

Relatively speaking, within the Dragun Empire, there are much fewer people with wizard qualifications than those with good knight talents.

As for the sword bearers or some special departments, why are there a large number of wizard apprentices and wizards?

That's because after layers of selection in the empire, these people with such qualifications are gathered together.

This is just like in Ryan's previous life, there were basically no people below the master's degree in the scientific research institute. The same reason.

There were seven or eight sword-bearers wearing various wizard robes testing inside. Seeing the young Ryan standing at the door, they couldn't help but look back.

Ryan just glanced around and walked out again.

He didn't really want to expose his super-level affinity for metal elements.

When he was in the test room before, he looked at the standard classification posted on the wall. Over 90 was considered super.

An affinity that is extremely rare in the largest fire and water systems.

Not to mention in the extremely small metal system.

The witchcraft power test is likely to expose the qualifications of the tester. After all, if the witchcraft power is very different under the same witchcraft and similar mental power, then there is only a difference in qualifications.

Ryan came to the service desk and asked, "Excuse me, is there a single room for the witchcraft power test room here?"

"Yes, sir, but you need to pay extra energy consumption. Is that okay?"

"Yes." Ryan nodded. Although he didn't know what energy consumption was, he believed that he could afford it.

At the same time, Ryan handed over his crystal badge.

The young staff member opened her mouth slightly, surprised, and took it respectfully, saying, "Sir, please follow me."

Soon, Ryan followed the young staff member to a room on the left side of the corridor on the third floor, close to the innermost room, and heard the girl say, "Sir, it's here."

As the girl opened the door, Ryan saw that the room was about 100 square meters and had several unique devices.

From left to right, there are two Gatling-like devices with multiple tubes, and the one in the middle is a device similar to the tennis ball launcher in the previous life.

The one on the far right is an attack power tester similar to the one on the second floor, except that the surface is painted bright silver.

"Sir, this should be your first time here, do you need me to introduce it to you?"

"Okay."

"Sir, these two are defense power test devices, a flame launcher and a torrent jet, which can spray flames and torrents. The power of a single hole is about ten degrees, and the maximum power test limit is eighty degrees."

The girl pointed to the "Gatling" device on the far left.

Ryan looked at it and asked, "Is there no other elemental damage, such as frost?"

"Uh, sorry, sir, there are only these two types in the branch."

Ryan nodded, the two are similar.

"Well, what about this one." Ryan pointed to the device in the middle.

"This is a short spear thrower, you can choose fast, medium, and slow." The girl introduced.

Short spear? That is to test the physical attack power.

"By the way, sir, when you test the witchcraft defense power, please proceed step by step. At the same time, you need to pay attention to safety and don't point the vital parts of your body at the transmitter. This is reminded on the nameplate on the device." The girl added.

Ryan nodded and said, "The last one is to test the witchcraft attack power, right?"

"Yes, sir, if you have been to the attack power test room on the second floor, you should be able to see that the shape of this one is very similar to the device downstairs, but the surface is coated with this kind of magic silver that can greatly reduce energy damage."

"Magic silver?"

"Yes, sir, it is said to be a special metal that can greatly weaken energy attacks. I don't know the details." The girl introduced.

Ryan nodded and remembered the term in his heart.

He planned to go to the library later to check the relevant content.

"Okay, you go and do your thing, thank you."

"You're welcome, sir, then you should pay attention to safety. OK, call me at any time." The girl bowed respectfully and left.

After thinking about it, Ryan began to test the first device.

Ryan first debugged the flame launcher. He planned to conduct a two-hole, or 20-degree flame attack test.

As the countdown red light on the flame launcher turned on:

"3"

"2"

"1"

"Bang!"

Two flame beams spewed out from it and directly hit Ryan's hardened fine gold transformed kite shield.

Ryan took the 20-degree witchcraft attack steadily.

Then, it was three holes.

Four holes

Until five holes

When it was five holes, even if Ryan blocked all three kite shields in front, the kite shields began to melt after only a few seconds, obviously reaching the upper limit of flame defense.

"It's about 40 degrees of flame defense."

Then, Ryan began to experiment with the torrent jet.

Just now it was flame, this is a simulated water witchcraft 'torrent impact'.

This time, Ryan directly opened three holes for testing.

Next, it was four holes.

Five holes

"Hey, it can still withstand it?"

After many attempts, Ryan was surprised.

"It turns out that the defense of this witchcraft 'metal barrier' is related to the resistance of the metal itself."

"The resistance of hardened fine gold to fire is average, but the resistance to water impact is relatively good, so the difference in defense between the two is nearly 10 degrees."

"In this case."

Ryan seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes lit up slightly.

——

Sword Bearer Branch, Mission Hall.

In the team waiting to hand in the task, Evelyn with red hair is still beautiful, but the fatigue on her face can't be concealed.

She just returned from Rosby County to hand in the newcomer task.

The situation in Rosby County is worse than she expected.

Her family, the Norman family, as the old viscount family of Rosby, suffered a lot in this turmoil.

In fact, the situation in the entire Rosby County is almost the same as that in Meister. The attack of the sea giants and the secret instigation of the Black Flame Cult have caused the living environment in Rosby County to plummet.

And this time, she has brought her mother and some young elites of the Norman family to the provincial capital of Munster.

This is also the last preparation made by the Norman family to avoid further deterioration of the situation in order to deal with the worst possible outcome.

However, she is still very worried about her father.

As a feudal noble, Viscount Norman naturally cannot leave Rosby County.

At this time, the team lined up to Evelyn.

"Hello, how can I help you?" The young staff smiled and stood up.

"Hello, please help me hand in the bronze-level task "Rosby City Transportation Line"." Evelyn said while handing over the black iron badge.

"Okay, sir."

Although it is only the lowest-level black iron badge, the young staff will not be negligent at all.

After all, although the Black Iron Badge is of a low level, it is still a transcendent, and it is also a sword-bearing master!

There is a huge gap between him and ordinary people.

"Okay, sir, the bronze-level mission "Rosby City's Transportation Line" has been completed, and 150 merit points have been recorded in your badge."

Evelin nodded, with a look of relief on her face.

Finally, the rookie mission was completed!

These 150 merit points. It's not easy to earn!

Many new sword holders were injured in this rookie mission.

She was lucky because she was a peak knight and a second-level wizard apprentice, so she often cast spells to assist, which was relatively less dangerous.

The Poseidon Cult was much more difficult to deal with than she expected.

If it weren't for this rookie mission, the instructor would have led the team, and I'm afraid the loss would have been even greater.

From this rookie mission, Evelin found that although the sword holders were treated very well, the danger was not low.

Although most of the tasks have been evaluated, there will be changes in many cases. If you want to continue to complete them smoothly, the requirements for strength are almost harsh!

For example, Nereo behind her performed well. In this rookie mission, he killed a deacon of the Poseidon Cult.

According to the instructor, he should be able to get an additional reward of three bronze mission evaluation medals.

This means that the other party can directly advance to the silver-level sword holder, and all aspects of treatment and the types of exchangeable items will be qualitatively improved.

"Sir, please wait a moment, I will help you change the badge?"

"Okay, thank you."

This newcomer mission was successfully completed. In addition to 150 merit points, the most important thing is that the sword holder from the reserve has become a formal sword holder, which can be exchanged for a bronze badge.

It can be regarded as getting rid of the status of a sword holder's "rookie".

However, it is only a status, and there are still 1,000 points of loans from the student aid department.

"Sir, it's done, your gold badge." The female staff respectfully handed Evelyn a huge golden badge with both hands.

"Hmm?"

Evelyn's beautiful eyes widened, her hands waved repeatedly, and she refused with certainty: "No, no! Are you mistaken? I should be a bronze badge!"

What is the concept of gold level?

That is the most elite group of people in the entire sword holder branch.

Most of the sword bearers who have been in the branch for one or two years are also silver-level, while the gold-level accounts for less than one-third.

Seeing that Evelyn's expression of denial did not seem to be false, the female professional looked puzzled, looked at the name displayed on the badge again, and confirmed:

"Excuse me, you are Lady Evelyn Norman from Rosby County, right?"

"Yes." Evelyn nodded.

"That's right!"

"Coco. How could it be a gold badge?" Evelyn's brain was still in a state of downtime, and she didn't turn around at all.

"Well, the records show that you are a formal member of the "Meist Siege Ram" team. When the captain, Sir Ryan, submitted the completion of the team's mission, he allocated you three silver medals and 2,000 merit points."

"So, that's right! You can be promoted to the gold level."

"What!" Evelyn was completely stunned!

What mission did Ryan complete?

And why did he allocate so much to her?

Evelyn felt that her brain was not enough.

In fact, when Ryan handed in the task yesterday, he was asked by a female staff member how to divide the task evaluation medals and merit points. After thinking about it, he casually allocated a few silver evaluation medals that he didn't need much at present to Evelyn.

In Ryan's view, they were all in the same team, so it was a small favor, so he would help.

Because he remembered that Evelyn seemed to have borrowed 1,000 merit points that time, so he just helped.

As for the twin-tailed girl Veronica, Ryan naturally gave more, after all, the relationship was much closer, and he casually allocated a gold evaluation medal and 5,000 merit points to her.

And Nereo and another new sword-bearing man who were queuing behind Evelyn had their eyes wide open and looked dull!

They were not far away from Evelyn, only four or five meters away.

When Evelyn looked shocked, the two of them listened carefully to her curiously.

When I heard with my own eyes that the task evaluation medals that Ryan allocated to Evelyn could be promoted to the gold level, I was extremely shocked!

Then Ryan must be at least a gold-level sword-bearing captain!

Oh my God! This

Soon, this news spread among the new sword-bearing people!

On the second floor of the training building.

In the attack power test room, many great knight-level sword-bearing masters were testing in twos and threes.

"Captain Angus, have you heard? Sir Ryan has been promoted to a gold-level sword-bearing captain?" Vieri, who had just recovered from his injury, was undergoing rehabilitation training and said to Angus beside him.

"What? Gold level?" The black-faced strong man with a resolute face was surprised.

"Vieri, how did you know?"

"I heard it from a fellow villager of the Rock Team. He is also from Bobigny County, named Remiel. He just entered the official wizard level two days ago. I heard about it during the dinner."

"So, Captain, do you think we should ask Mr. Ryan for help in the revenge of Chris and the other three?" Vieri was furious when he thought of his dead comrades!

Since the five of them were once affiliated with the military and had rich combat experience.

So unlike Evelyn and other newcomers, they were seconded by the military again, mainly responsible for the safety of the supply line from Welsh County to Meister.

During an escort, they were attacked by the Black Flame Church in Wales. Although the transport team was successfully evacuated, they almost couldn't come back!

The three Chriss all died in the hands of the opponent's masters. One was called 'Bison' Bidars. The opponent's knight armor was very distinctive. There were two sharp metal collision horns on the left and right shoulder armors.

The other's name is unknown, but he is good at magic formations. Five black flame fireballs reduced their number by one person at the beginning!

"The opponent is very strong. Even if Mr. Ren can defeat the opponent, I'm afraid he will take a lot of risks."

"Moreover, please ask Mr. Ren to take action. Vieri, have you thought about the price?"

"If Lord Renne is willing to take over the mission of these two guys, Captain Angus, I am willing to become a follower of Lord Renne!" Vieri said solemnly.

He and Chris had a close relationship. This time, Chris's death was largely to save him!

Therefore, if there is a chance to take revenge, he is not willing to wait for even a quarter of an hour.

Angus was silent for a while when he heard Vieri's words!

He never thought that Vieri would be willing to pay such a price. You must know that Vieri's knight has outstanding talents. If he wants to become a follower, I am afraid that the Marquis of the Empire will not refuse.

——

Munster, inside the Rennes mansion.

"Huh? Mr. Ren is back?" As soon as Jenny came back, she heard Mint talking about it happily, and she immediately looked surprised.

She turned to her mother Jennifer and said, "Mother, the problem you encountered this time can be solved by Mr. Ren."

"Yes." The beautiful woman, who originally had a sad face, was also quite surprised when she heard that Ren was back.

Due to the turmoil in Meist, the maritime trade routes from the Eagle Federation to Fishing Port Town were almost completely cut off. This forced the beautiful woman Jennifer, as the head of the Chamber of Commerce, to explore new business channels.

The problem she is encountering now is not a commercial problem.

Although Jennifer took the first step through Lane's introduction last time, as her business expands, she has recently contacted several larger chambers of commerce.

The communication with the presidents of these chambers of commerce was not smooth. The other parties made explicit or implicit expressions that they wanted to cooperate?

Can.

It just requires the beautiful woman to communicate with them in depth before they can cooperate properly.

Of course, they had also heard more or less that although this beautiful woman was a little baroness who had moved from Meist, she seemed to have an imperial sword-wielding support behind her.

But unlike other county towns, Munster is a provincial capital and the seat of the Munster branch of the Sword Bearers.

Sword holders are not uncommon, and they all have backers behind them, so they are not so afraid of sword holders.

Of course, they won't use force.

Just use coercion and inducement.

Therefore, through this period of hard work, the beautiful woman has only made some small progress, but if she wants to take a bigger step, it can be said to be difficult.

After all, business competition in Münster is fierce.

There are already fixed people and forces in this lucrative industry.

If you want to join in and get a piece of the pie, it is equivalent to snatching the food from the tiger's mouth. Without certain strength, it is almost impossible to succeed.

At this time, Jenny seemed to have thought of something again, and joked: "Mother, it seems that Agatha and I should have a good time out in the evening. What time do you think it is appropriate for us to come back?"

After saying that, Jenny blinked.

Naturally, the beautiful woman understands her daughter’s jokes immediately!

Immediately, two red clouds appeared on her fair face. Jennifer patted Jenny gently and shyly scolded: "You even make a joke about your mother, it's too much!"

After a while, Jenny hit Agatha and said, "Agatha, let me go shopping with you tonight."

"Eh? Jenny, isn't Mr. Ren coming back today? Why are you free?"

"Your Excellency Renne has just come back, and he must be busy with a lot of things. By the way, didn't you say two days ago that the eldest son of a viscount was pursuing you?"

"Do you want me to check it for you?" Jenny changed the subject at the right time.

Speaking of this, Agatha blushed a little. At the same time, her attention was focused on the matter of 'the eldest son of the Viscount pursuing her' and said:

"It's not formal. The other party invited me to go to an art exhibition in the past two days. Well, it seems to be an exhibition of oil painting master Franco Van Cleef, but I haven't agreed."

"Huh? An exhibition of oil painting master Franco Van Cleef?" Jenny was somewhat interested.

As a descendant of a noble family, Janey has studied painting since she was a child, and she also likes painting. It would be great if she could take a look at the master's painting exhibition while accompanying her best friend.

"Yes, it's just that you have been busy for the past two days, and I don't feel reserved enough if I go alone. Jenny, are you also interested in the art exhibition? How about I let him go to the art exhibition tonight?"

"I heard that the art exhibition lasts for a week, and there is a dinner every day."

"Well, the paintings of the oil painting master Franco Van Cleef are also very famous throughout the empire. It's just right to go and appreciate them." Jenny nodded.

"Great, then I'll send someone to contact you. Jenny, I love you so much." Agatha hugged Jenny excitedly and said.
