The wizard starts by trimming the donkey's hooves

Judging from the content of the system warning, Ren knew that the key to this should be mental power. The key word is the difference between 'solidification' and 'activation'.

After thinking about it, Ren quickly understood that it was probably because the sword master's path was to pursue some ultimate attack power of the sword, so he needed to solidify his mental power.

"By the way, Master Gunther said before about the 'Glory of Will'. Is the solidification of mental power a necessary step or condition for generating the 'Glory of Will'?" Renn couldn't help but murmured.

After thinking about it, he shook his head again. He didn't know much about the sword master's path. The above was just a guess.

But one thing was clear to him, because he was now at the peak of the second-level wizard apprentice and was about to enter the third-level wizard apprentice level, so Ren had a vague feeling about the wizard's path.

That is one of the necessary conditions for the wizard's path, which should be the activation of mental power to meet the needs of mobilizing various mysterious side energy particles.

Therefore, the wizard profession and the swordsman profession are not compatible with each other. They seem to be two completely different paths.

Obviously, the path of sword master is likely to be equally promising, as can be seen from Master Gunther!

However, Master Gunther should not only be a swordsman, but the existence of the next level after the swordsman, the great swordsman? Ren thought.

No matter what you call it, swordsman must be a career path with super high attack power. As for the final profession, Renn will take a blind guess and see if it might be a 'sword master' or something like that.

“You can’t have your cake and eat it too!”

"such a pity!"

For a time traveler like Ren, the mysterious wizard's path has special meaning to him.

Then we have to give up the sword master path for the time being!

Maybe there might be a chance in the future?

"I wonder if high-level witchcraft has puppets, clones, etc. In this case, it's not completely impossible."

Standing in front of the corpse of the offshore plesiosaur, Ren's thoughts were racing at this moment.

At this time, Master Gunther was not far away, located in the sea water at the outermost edge of the cave, but his whole body was in an extremely rare state of shock.

A few minutes ago, before he entered the cave, he felt a sudden vibration in the cave.

At that time, he was shocked and wondered why Ren suddenly became so reckless. He didn't take a serious look when he came in and just started fighting the offshore plesiosaur.

This caused him to speed up in the passage!

But when he surfaced to prepare for rescue, he was stunned!

Because what caught his eyes was that the offshore plesiosaur, which was huge and had combat power comparable to that of a great knight, was already lying in a pool of blood!

So fast?

Thirty seconds?

this.

It took him a while before he came back to his senses!

Renne has finished killing the offshore plesiosaur!

Although he had overestimated Renn as much as possible before, in the end, Master Gunther discovered that he still underestimated Renn!

"cough!"

Master Gunther coughed, which immediately attracted the attention of Ren, who was concentrating on the beach.

Ren quickly turned his head and was stunned at first, but then he immediately showed surprise when he realized it was Master Gunther.

"Master, why are you here?"

Immediately, Renn figured out something.

The 'Trial of Faith' is the fifth training task arranged by Master Gunther. Since it is training, the apprentice will not really be allowed to risk death.

But what is special is that the purpose of the training of 'Trial of Faith' is to allow apprentices to feel that they are on the verge of despair, thereby inspiring faith, fully mobilizing the Force, and surviving in death!

In this case, obviously, Master Gunther cannot tell his apprentice in advance, saying, 'I am actually following you and will protect you.'

Therefore, Master Gunther should have followed him shortly after he dived into the underwater cave to avoid being killed by the offshore plesiosaur.

After thinking about this, Renn couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.

As for what happens if the master sees the swollen muscles in his 'triple state', it doesn't matter.

Ren has already thought of the reason. This can be classified as his knight's extraordinary characteristic "giant strength". His own extraordinary characteristic is more powerful.

"Originally I wanted to protect you, but now it seems that my worries are unnecessary."

Master Gunther's words confirmed Ren's suspicion.

"By the way, how did you kill this offshore plesiosaur?" Master Gunther walked up to him, looked at the plesiosaur lying in a pool of blood and circled around to check the cause of death.

When he discovered that the plesiosaur was killed by a sword that split its head, a light suddenly flashed in his eyes!

This is

"Master, when I was killing the plesiosaur just now, the moment I faced a life-and-death crisis was very sudden. I mobilized all the force in my body and injected it into the big sword in my hand."

"What I originally thought was that I could use my sword to get out of trouble! But in the end, I didn't expect that I could actually split the opponent's strongest beak and head in half with one sword." Renn also had something in his mind at this time. Question, I heard Master Gunther ask it on his own initiative, so I just asked it.

He also wanted to know what happened with the sword just now.

Because just now, after killing the plesiosaur, he tried a few more times. Although he was able to mobilize the force with ease, compared with the sword at that time, it seemed that the power was very different.

"Ren, you once again exceeded my expectations. What do you think? Are you interested in staying and pursuing the path of the Sword Master?" Master Gunther did not directly answer Ren's question, but smiled and invited.

Juggernaut?

Ren's eyes suddenly widened and he looked at the other party.

He is indeed a sword master!

It turns out that Master Gunther lived in semi-seclusion on the Gold Coast in order to pursue the path of the Sword Master.

but

Master, its path is incompatible with wizards! Ren burst into tears. Although he liked the path of the sword master with high attack power, at present, he could only refuse.

"Master, thank you for your appreciation. However, I want to travel a bit for the time being. Maybe one day, when I can calm down, I will come to the Gold Coast again to seek your advice." Rennes bowed. Bow and said seriously.

"Okay! Young people should really go for a walk and take a look! Studying swordsmanship also requires concentration." After hearing what Ren said, Master Gunther thought for a while and nodded, seeming to agree.

I heard that Gunther did not persuade Renn to stay, but instead explained that Renn's sword just happened:

"That sword strike you just made actually combined your own belief in the sword with the force of the force. In layman's terms, this is sword light, an ability that only sword masters can master."

"Essentially speaking, your belief in the sword is actually contained in the force. At that moment, the ordinary force becomes the force of the sword, thus possessing more powerful destructive power than the ordinary force."

"That's it. Thank you, Master, for clarifying my doubts!" ​​Ren bowed slightly and said.

The force of the sword?

Sure enough, it was pretty much what he had guessed. The path of sword master, great sword master, and sword master was indeed closely related to the sword. In the end, it should be the pursuit of the ultimate destructive power of the sword!

"By the way, Master Gunther, shall we go back now?"

"Wait a minute, this adult offshore plesiosaur is a good thing. As a large and ferocious sea beast, it can be said to be full of treasures." Master Gunther said with a smile.

"Especially the opponent's heart, which can be used to make the 'Behemoth Essence', a magic potion necessary for a knight to be promoted to a great knight!"

Hey, attack the great knight?

Renn's eyes suddenly lit up. Originally, after he returned this time, he was going to look for some knowledge about the knight's subsequent advancement. He had thought about asking Hamilton before, but then he felt that his progress was too shocking, so he decided to postpone it first. Put it off again.

Unexpectedly, I could hear relevant information from Master Gunther.

Sensing Ren's surprised look, Gunther thought Ren was surprised by the word 'giant beast', so he explained with a smile: "Haha, why, do you think the plesiosaur is not enough to be called a giant beast?"

"Actually, behemoth is just our general term for ferocious beasts that are over ten meters in length."

"Its heart contains a special substance. After being refined by a pharmacist and made into 'behemoth essence', it can match the huge consumption required for a knight to advance to a grand knight."

Behemoth essence?

It sounds like it is almost the same concept as the advanced potions that ordinary people take when they become knights (extraordinary).

I just don’t know if there are various subdivisions and details like advanced potions. Renxin said.

Just when Ren was about to continue asking Master Gunther, suddenly, the system prompt refreshed the screen again:

【Ding! It is detected that the host is listening to extraordinary secrets, triggering an advanced job transfer - Grand Knight (extraordinary)! 】

[The prerequisites for promotion to Great Knight (Extraordinary) are: 1. The physical body breaking limit reaches 100%; 2. Any breathing method is above lv9; 3. Strength is above 20 points, agility is above 20 points, and constitution is above 20 points; 4. Any breathing method is above lv9. A melee extraordinary combat skill of level 9 or above; 5. High-level magic potion 'Essence of the Behemoth'. The current conditions are not met! Promotion to Grand Knight (Extraordinary) failed! 】

Huh!

Seeing the system prompt that suddenly popped up, Ren read it silently several times, feeling excited in his heart!

He didn't expect that he just missed out on the 'Swordsman's job transfer', but after listening to Master Gunther's secrets about the essence of giant beasts and the force, he actually got the job transfer to become a Grand Knight (Extraordinary). information!

It really has a feeling of "a village is surrounded by bright flowers and dark flowers"!

"Judging from several conditions, the Great Knight (Extraordinary) and the Knight (Extraordinary) can be said to be of the same origin, and many of the prerequisites are also relatively similar."

"Although the Grand Knight seems to have slightly weaker combat effectiveness than professions with extreme attack power such as Sword Master and Grand Sword Master, it does not conflict with the path of the Wizard. Part-time jobs are the most important thing to consider."

In addition, he is about to meet several conditions for promotion to the Grand Knight, or has already achieved them.

For example, under the condition 1, 'The physical body breaking limit reaches 100%', Renn glanced at the Knight (Extraordinary) panel and saw that the breaking limit has reached 95%. This is because after continuously improving the Bear King's Breathing Technique, it increased by five points. Because of attribute points.

At this moment, there are still three remaining attribute points lying on the panel. There is no need to waste skill points. I am 100% away from breaking the limit. It is just a matter of when to add more points.

In addition, I have already achieved the second condition of ‘arbitrary breathing method lv9’. As expected, the breathing method is really not in vain!

As for condition three.

While Ren was daydreaming, Master Gunther said, "Let's go! Ren, the heart of the plesiosaur needs to be processed while it's fresh."

"Okay, Master!" Ren responded immediately.

When Ren dragged the huge carcass of the plesiosaur out of the sea, Basque was stunned.

"Ren, you... succeeded so quickly?"

"Or is this?" Basque turned to look at Master Gunther.

Master Gunther knew what Basque meant. Basque was asking if it was the offshore plesiosaur he helped Ren kill.

Master Gunther shook his head and said, "It was Ren who killed him alone! Bask, don't be stunned. The blood of the plesiosaur will attract many other ferocious sea beasts, so hurry up and go back!"

"Okay! Master!"

Although Basque agreed immediately, he still couldn't hide his surprise. He tied the plesiosaur's body to the back of the boat and started paddling quickly.

But while paddling, Basque's eyes alternated between the huge plesiosaur corpse rising and falling in the water from time to time, and the calm-looking Ren on the boat, and he was inexplicably horrified!

When the three of them arrived at the shore of the island, Ren found that seven or eight young people, led by Inch-head Frode, were waiting on the shore.

Obviously, they also got the news, so they are waiting for the results here.

Just when the young man named Arturo was about to ask, suddenly, from the corner of his eye, he saw the huge corpse rising and falling in the sea behind the boat, and he couldn't help but blurt out: "Is this... is this a success? "

Before Renne could answer, Basque, who had just jumped ashore, raised his chin slightly proudly and said, "That's right! Renne succeeded!"

"Here, there is the body of the plesiosaur. Let's help each other and lift it up first!"

Suddenly, the eyes of all the young people present were focused on Ren, with different expressions ranging from shock to disbelief.

After waiting for the huge carcass of the offshore plesiosaur to be brought ashore, everyone who saw the cause of the death of the plesiosaur looked even more surprised, looking alternately between Ren and the plesiosaur.

It seemed that he was in shock. Why was there no scars on Ren's body at all and he was able to kill the large ferocious sea beast without any injuries?

What kind of strength is this?

This is too scary!

Half an hour later, Renn put away the wooden box containing the huge heart of the offshore plesiosaur and placed it on the brown horse.

This was handled by Master Gunther and given to him.

As for other parts of the offshore plesiosaur, such as scales, skin, meat, etc., Ren kept them as a token of his gratitude.

"Master, I'm going to leave now. Thank you for your teaching during this period." Renn bowed respectfully to Gunther.

Although Renne and Gunther first met because of Claire's letter of introduction, now, it's hard to say whether Renn holds more weight in Gunther's heart than Claire.

Master Gunther smiled happily and said, "Go back. You still have a long way to go. Perhaps, I will be able to hear about your deeds soon."

Seven or eight other young people, including Frode and Doug, also said goodbye to Ren.

Renn also smiled and nodded to them!

Although he has not had much communication with other people in the past twenty days, so the relationship cannot be said to be good or bad. However, with Master Gunther's connection, perhaps, when he meets others in the outside world, When the time comes, he should help them.

Basque on the side enthusiastically helped Renn put all his luggage on the brown horse and said: "Renn, I will take you to the road."

Ren nodded, then turned around again and said to Master Gunther and everyone else: "Master, everyone, I hope we can meet again next time!"

Everyone watched with emotion on their faces as they watched Ren gradually disappear into the path!

"Master Gunther, Ren should be the one who has passed all the training tasks the fastest since you went into seclusion, right?" Frod, the short-haired boy, suddenly asked curiously.

Master Gunther smiled and did not answer Frode's question directly. Instead, he encouraged: "There are far more geniuses in this world than you think, so work hard!"

Renne, who was walking on the path, did not mount his horse immediately, but led the black horse forward. Next to him was Basque, who was helping Renn lead the brown horse carrying luggage.

"By the way, Ren, it's best for you to take the big road and avoid the trails on your way back."

"Recently, Rosby County is not safe here. There have been several cases where nobles' carriages or lone knights were besieged and killed by bandits." At this time, Basque seemed to have remembered something, and said with a serious look on his face.

"The bandits?" Ren asked.

"Yes, according to my father's news, it seems that behind these bandit groups, there are shadows of the Zalal Resistance Army. So, Ren, you have to be careful along the way. Don't take it lightly because you think that the other party is just an ordinary bandit. "

"Thank you! Basque, I will be careful." Faced with the young man's kind reminder, Renne naturally expressed his gratitude.

On the other hand, Ren's heart moved slightly when he heard it.

Zalal rebels?

He immediately thought of the time when he rescued Haas. The group of people seemed to be a bandit group nearby.

At the same time, he also thought of the battle at the rebel stronghold in Meist County.

Not only does the other party have some kind of secret connection with the surrounding bandit groups, but the resistance itself also often disguises itself as a bandit group and commits robberies.

It seems that this so-called resistance army has become more and more active recently.

Moreover, from a geographical perspective, it seems that the other party is more active in Rossby County than in Meister County!

Although the resistance forces he encountered before were not very strong, the strongest among them was only the peak knight.

However, such a large resistance organization must have masters at the level of knights, so it should not be taken lightly.

At this time, Basque suddenly looked enlightened, patted his head, and laughed loudly: "I almost forgot, Ren! You are the one who single-handedly killed the offshore plesiosaur. If the resistance army encounters you."

"They should be the ones worried! Hahaha!"

After listening to what Basque said, Renn couldn't help but smile.

"Basque, just send it here. Remember to contact me when you have time, or you can come to Meister County to find me." Renne turned to Basque and said.

Due to the time spent together and the fact that Basque was a good person and helped Renne a lot, the two of them got along quite harmoniously.

"Okay, Renn! Well, Renn, can you give me a message for Miss Claire?" Basque rubbed his palms, seeming a little embarrassed.

"Huh? What's the message?" Renn glanced at Basque with a slight doubt.

"Well, when you see Miss Claire, help me ask her if she still remembers Basque on the Gold Coast? I hope she can come to the Gold Coast to see Master Gunther when she is free." Basque He said slightly coyly.

"Okay! If I can meet her." Ren was speechless.

Basque's coy look is like that of a shy little girl. When placed on a tall and thick man, it is really speechless!

Let Claire come to see Master Gunther?

I'm afraid you didn't want to see Claire yourself, but you were also afraid that Claire would refuse, so that's why you said this.

Also, ‘Basques on the Gold Coast? ’ What the hell is this expression?

Why does it sound so much like the phrase "Xia Yuhe by the Daming Lake" in the previous life?

Renn stopped thinking about it, shook his head slightly, turned around and mounted his horse, waved his hand and said: "Let's go! Basque!"

"Goodbye, Ren!"

Basque stared at Ren's leaving figure, dazed.

At this time, the warm winter sun shone on Ren's leaving horse and horse, casting long shadows. This gave Basque a feeling, as if the direction Ren was moving in was shining with golden light, leading to the gods. country’s road.

Since he did not receive a message from the Blue Helmet Pigeon, Renn felt that his family and the Crowley family in Meist County should not have encountered any difficult problems.

In this case, Ren planned to visit Haas on the way back.

In the past twenty days on the Gold Coast, Renne can be said to have been quite fruitful, so he is in a very good mood at this time.

Haas is located in the fishing port of Larchmond, just north of the Gold Coast.

The north was also the direction in which Ren was heading. It could be said that it was a completely smooth road. Ren estimated that if he did not take a detour and took the forest path, he should be able to arrive at Larchmond Fishing Port in the evening.

"Boiled giant-spurred salmon?"

Renn thought of what Haas said last time about the special delicacies of his hometown, which couldn't help but bring a smile to his face.

At noon, Renn found a random place to rest in the forest on the roadside.

While he took some roasted dried fish from his bag and chewed it, he was thinking about the force.

Along the way, through repeated attempts, Ren discovered that although he could now mobilize the force easily and could burst out all the force at once, the power of the sword that killed the offshore plesiosaur was not achieved with the force of the sword. Not coming out.

Master Gunther has already explained this issue.

Because there is no life and death crisis, and the belief is not strong enough, the force cannot be transformed into the force of the sword with more destructive power!

The level of the force of this sword seems to be very high, and it is completely different from the usual sharpening caused by attaching the force to the sword.

The former has great power, but it seems to involve the solidification of mental power, while the latter is much less powerful and seems to be just a shallow application of the Force.

However, Renne is thinking about another question now:

"I attached the Force to the sword, and the effect was to increase the sharpness of the sword. So if I attached the Force to the hammer, it couldn't be to increase the sharpness of the hammer, right?"

"You know, the hammer has a flat end!"

"Then what exactly was going through my mind when I attached the Force to the sword?"

While thinking, Ren took off the sword from his back.

I saw Ren mobilizing the force while waving the sword.

After practicing the giant bear swordsmanship for a while, suddenly, a flash of light flashed through Ren's mind, and he seemed to understand a little bit!

At this time, the system prompts:

【Congratulations! You have experienced an epiphany and unlocked the additional special effects of melee combat skills: Sharp lv1 (passive)]

[Sharp lv1 (passive) effect: You have a preliminary understanding of the nature of the Force, and can freely mobilize the Force to enhance the power of the sword in your hand, slightly increasing its sharpness. 】

(Note: This effect is only effective when the host has the Force and the Force is not exhausted, and is only effective when the host holds a sharp weapon.)

(Note: This effect is an additional special effect for melee combat skills. Once the conditions are met, the next level will be automatically unlocked.)

Renn couldn't help but be overjoyed!

Immediately, Ren focused his attention on the icon representing the giant bear swordsmanship, and saw that the special effects attached to the giant bear swordsmanship this time had indeed been added:

Dire Bear Swordsmanship lv7 (3023/5000), with special effects 'Accurate lv2' and 'Sharp lv2'.

[Precision lv2 (passive) effect:.]

[Sharp lv2 (passive) effect: You have a better understanding of the nature of the Force, and can freely mobilize the Force to enhance the power of the long sword in your hand, slightly increasing its sharpness. 】

(Note: To unlock Sharpness lv3 in Giant Bear Swordsmanship, the following conditions must be met: 1. Giant Bear Swordsmanship lv9 or above; 2. Bear King Breathing Technique lv9 or above.)

Comes with two special effects!

Ren read the above text description carefully. The expressions of "sharpness" and "precision" are similar. Compared with lv1, the main change at level 2 is that "slightly" has been changed to "slightly".

But the conditions for unlocking are different!

After thinking for a moment, Ren planned to try the Tokkal Hammer Technique. Since the force applied to a sword would have a sharp special effect, what about applying it to a hammer?

Although Renn already has some vague guesses, he still has to give it a try to find out!

At this time, Ren's ears twitched slightly!

Immediately afterwards, the lv3 level of danger perception began to give him an early warning, but this sense of crisis was not strong, so Renn did not turn around to check, but continued to calmly wipe the shimmering giant sword in his hand.

In the dense forest dozens of meters away.

A dozen strong men dressed as mercenaries were lurking. They had different weapons in their hands, but they all had calm auras and strong faces.

One of them, a strong man dressed as a mercenary, was holding a single-cylinder copper tube mirror to check out Ren!

However, it seemed that he was taking into account that a formal knight who had entered the extraordinary realm had a keen sense, so after a few glances, the strong man quickly shifted his gaze and stopped staring at Ren.

"Another formal knight who is alone, but judging from his swordsmanship, he seems to be a master!"

"Tsk! No matter how powerful he is, look at his appearance, he is obviously not even eighteen years old! Don't tell me, this guy can still be a peak knight?" A big man sneered.

"Yes, Scar is right. No matter how strong he is, we can shoot him with a volley of crossbow arrows first, and we can shoot him into a sieve!"

"Yeah, carrying a big sword and a giant hammer on his back looks pretty intimidating! But he's not even wearing knight's plate armor. He's probably still a young knight with no experience in the field at all."
