Chapter 136 I Am Actually Very Interested in Forging! (Two Chapters in One)

Although she knew that Ryan had entered the supernatural realm, Lagre didn't see the scene where Ryan killed four Black Flame monks.

So, Lagre looked at Ryan suspiciously and said, "Ryan, didn't you say you just learned the hammer technique?"

"This... I really just learned it!" Ryan touched his nose.

This should be the effect of the hammer specialization.

But Ryan obviously couldn't say this reason.

[Your skill Tokkar Hammer Technique has been improved, experience value +17]

[You have experienced a battle, Knight (supernatural) professional experience value +0]

[Your skill Tokkar Hammer Technique has been improved, experience value +15]

[You have experienced a battle, Knight (supernatural) professional experience value +1]

After a few minutes of sparring, the improvement of Tokkar Hammer Technique is still quite large.

But for Ryan's Knight (supernatural) professional level, the increase in experience is almost negligible.

Of course, occasionally you can see the word +1 experience value, which is better than nothing.

The competition continued.

"Bang!"

Lagre was hit on the shield by Ryan's ironwood hammer again and retreated several meters.

"No more fighting!"

Lagre's full chest rose and fell violently, and her beautiful eyes rolled at Ryan, who didn't even have a bead of sweat on his forehead, and said unhappily.

Isn't this bullying?

Not to mention that Ryan has entered the extraordinary stage, he obviously has a certain foundation in hammer skills. She can't take Ryan's hammer blows at all.

Even if she uses her best shield!

Lagre thought.

In addition, although she is a barbarian, her strength and physique are better than ordinary quasi-knights, but Lagre always feels that Ryan is a monster, more like a barbarian than her.

"Well!" Ryan could see that Lagre did try her best.

It's just that he just used about 60% of his strength. If it's lower, after a competition, Tokkar's hammer skills experience value is too little. If the strength is a little greater, Lagre can't bear it.

It's really a headache!

As for tiredness?

There is no such thing!

With a physique of 18 points, Ryan feels like a marathon runner jogging ten kilometers in his previous life when competing with Lagre.

It is just a warm-up at most!

The night watchmen on the side frequently glanced at Lagre and Ryan.

Although the town of Shining Gold had just been attacked by cultists and the workload of the night watchmen had doubled, after seeing the powerful strength of the cultists, many night watchmen would take time to come to the training ground to improve themselves no matter how busy they were.

A night watchman turned to the short man Matteo and whispered: "Captain, you said that the adjutant didn't know how to show mercy to such a beautiful barbarian girl?"

"What do you know!"

"This is called interest!" Matteo glanced at the night watchman and said.

"Interest?" The night watchman thought about it and seemed to understand something. He nodded repeatedly with an expression of sudden enlightenment.

"So that's why. No wonder the adjutant is so strong that he still wants to challenge the other party."

"."

Although the other party's voice was very low, Ryan and Lagre were able to hear the conversation clearly.

This made Lagre's cheeks, which were already red due to intense exercise, even redder at this moment.

"By the way, Lagre, can you forge a war hammer?" Ryan waved the ironwood hammer in his hand.

"Well! But the war hammer made of ordinary materials is probably not very suitable for you." Lagre glanced at the ironwood hammer in Ryan's hand and said.

Ryan nodded immediately and said, "That's right! I need a good war hammer."

This point, as his strength increases, the importance of a good weapon becomes more and more prominent.

Before Ryan entered the extraordinary, the quality of the fine steel sword was already a little unable to withstand his combat intensity, not to mention that Ryan is now a senior knight.

In addition, when the 'superposition state' is activated, Ryan's requirements for weapons are even higher!

Can the requirements for a weapon wielded at 20 points of strength be the same as those for a weapon wielded at 40 points of strength?

The answer is obviously no!

"As far as I know, if you want to make a warhammer, and at the same time, you have to meet the strength requirements of a formal knight like you, it is best to use blood-marked steel. This kind of steel has good strength and toughness, and is very suitable for forging warhammers."

"Secondly, the star iron you saw last time, adjust the ratio, and use it to make warhammers, which is also very good."

"Is that blood-marked steel also refined from some rare ore?" Ryan asked.

Since there are better material choices, it is natural to choose a better one.

"Yes, it is also refined from special ore, very rare." Lagre nodded and said.

This can't help but give Ryan a headache. Obviously, this kind of high-end stuff is not available at the town blacksmith Boris.

Last time, he bought the other party's only star iron and integrated it into the glimmering giant sword.

Go to the quartermaster next door to have a look?

After thinking about it, Ryan immediately shook his head. Even if the items that can be exchanged at the quartermaster are rich, it is impossible to exchange such rare raw materials.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed through Ryan's mind, and he suddenly remembered something!

He remembered that the blacksmith Boris once said to him:

"Ryan, if you want to learn how to identify other special ores, you have to go to the large blacksmith shop in the county town. Of course, the blacksmith shop in the manor castle must also have a lot of special ores in stock."

Yes!

Why didn't I think of it.

In fact, I can go to the blacksmith shop in Habsburg Manor to have a look.

Ryan quickly came back to his senses!

He remembered the blacksmith shop on the first floor of the castle.

It was a different time, and I was still an unknown boy servant at that time.

But now the situation is different.

Yesterday, Knight Lloyd and Instructor Perez of the manor talked to me for a long time, and both invited me to visit Habsburg Manor if I was free.

It happened that I could mention the blood-marked steel to them by the way.

As long as it is confirmed, there should be no problem!

In addition, I also gained more than 200 imperial gold coins from the spoils of the Black Flame Monk. With the previous ones, it is estimated that it is enough to directly buy blood-marked steel.

After figuring this out, Ryan couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, and he was obviously in a good mood.

Lagre looked at Ryan in confusion.

She was very confused, why Ryan, who was obviously frowning, suddenly smiled.

At this time, a man dressed as a servant walked into the training ground. He looked around first, and soon he saw Ryan, who was talking to the barbarian girl Lagre in the center of the field.

He walked up and said respectfully: "Lord Ryan, I am a servant of the Habsburg Manor. Knight Lloyd wants to invite you to dinner. Do you have time?"

"Of course, you can bring this beautiful lady next to you." The man was very observant. When he saw the beautiful girl Lagre next to Ryan, he immediately thought of something and quickly added a sentence.

This made Lagre, who was always cheerful, a little shy, but she was different from Anna. At this time, she still looked at Ryan with burning eyes.

She wanted to see how Ryan would answer.

"Lagre, if you have nothing to do at night, then go with me?" What Ryan thought in his mind was that it would be more convenient to pick ore with Lagre.

After all, the blood-marked steel used to forge the warhammer may not be available in the blacksmith shop in the manor.

However, the blacksmith shop in the manor is likely to have other special ores similar to blood-marked steel, which may also be suitable for forging warhammers.

But Ryan didn't know much about special ores. If he took Lagre, a senior blacksmith, with him, he would naturally save a lot of trouble.

"Thank you, no, I'd better accompany Anna." Lagre was very happy to see that Ryan wanted to take her with him, but she immediately refused.

She was not very interested in dealing with the imperial nobles.

In fact, she was also very curious about why she had a good impression of Ryan.

Is it because he saved her?

No.

Perhaps, in the blood of the barbarians, there is a gene for worshipping the strong.

After all, in a place like the Wind Tundra, only those who are strong enough can reproduce and survive.

"I'm leaving first!" Lagre waved her hand and left the training ground directly.

Ryan looked at Lagre's back as she walked away, and he couldn't understand why she refused. He shook his head slightly, and said to the manservant, "Tell Knight Lloyd that I'll be alone tonight."

"Okay, Lord Ryan, I look forward to your visit tonight." The manservant bowed slightly and left soon.

In addition to the warhammer, Ryan also needs a set of sturdy knight's plate armor.

Unfortunately, Lagre doesn't know how to make armor.

After thinking about it, Ryan came to the quartermaster of the Night Watch.

This was his first time to come to the quartermaster.

Before, it was the former captain Willen who helped him arrange the relevant matters.

As soon as Ryan came in, the chubby quartermaster immediately stood up from his chair and shouted respectfully, "Lord Adjutant!"

"Hey! Do you know me?" Ryan couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Of course, Lord Ryan, your demeanor when you killed the cultists yesterday, I think everyone present at that time will always remember it." Thomson complimented while recalling the scene of that day.

Yesterday, he was also one of the trembling people in the church.

He thought he was doomed.

But he didn't expect Ryan to appear suddenly, like a god descending from heaven, and killed three cult supernaturals in succession, and rescued nearly half of the people in the church.

After this incident, it was impossible for Thomson to forget Ryan!

"By the way, adjutant, why are you here this time?"

"Do you have ready-made knight plate armor here?"

"Yes, it's here." Thomson nodded immediately, and his fat body turned around quickly and took Ryan to the storage room on the side, and took out two sets of heavy knight plate armor.

Ryan was happy at first, but after opening it and taking a closer look, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

There are two existing sets of knight plate armor in the commissary room, but the quality is very average, even worse than the one Hamilton gave him last time.

This should be prepared for people at the quasi-knight level.

This level of knight plate armor, in addition to bringing Ryan more than 100 pounds of weight, basically does not bring much defense.

"Is there a war hammer here?" Ryan asked again.

"Yes, adjutant, do you want a two-handed war hammer or a one-handed war hammer?"

"Two-handed war hammer."

Soon, Thomson brought a two-handed sledgehammer and handed it to Ryan.

Ryan was very surprised when he saw it. This two-handed sledgehammer, except for the hammer head which was made of iron, the rest of it was made of wood.

This made Renn couldn't help but complain, this is not much different from the iron and wood sledgehammer in the training room.

"Is the handle made of wood?"

"Yes, sir, the hammer handle is made of oak. It has very good toughness and is strong and durable."

Ren nodded.

Obviously, there shouldn't be any good weapons suitable for him in the military storage room.

After all, most of the equipment here is prepared for ordinary night watchmen and security guards.

Seeing the disappointed look on Ren's face, Thomson keenly noticed something and asked cautiously: "Adjutant, do you want better quality weapons or armor?"

"Don't you know that at your level, the equipment that needs to be exchanged needs to go to the military supplies office in the county."

"Huh? Do you want to go to the county town?"

"Isn't there a pamphlet?"

Wren gestured to Thomson, the size of the pamphlet Hamilton had shown him before.

He still remembered the large words written on the cover of the booklet: ‘Empire Security and Guard Force Merit Point Exchange Book (Non-Commissioned Officer)’.

Thomson suddenly realized!

"It's like this. As the adjutant of the public security, even the merit point redemption book is different from the previous one. It is at the lieutenant level and is classified. It can only be viewed at the quartermaster of the county."

That's it, Ren nodded.

Also, the higher the level, the more things can be exchanged, and many things may involve some secrets.

When Ren returned home, he wanted to study Akkadian, but he didn't expect that as soon as he sat down, the messenger came, saying that Lord Hamilton invited him to come over.

Soon, Lane came to Hamilton's office.

When he saw Renn coming in, Hamilton said with a smile: "Renn, your merits for killing three Black Flame monks and one Black Flame apostle last time have been evaluated. Adding the previous merit points, the total is 1489 points."

When Hamilton saw this number for the first time, he was a little stunned.

He originally expected that Renne would definitely have enough merit points this time, but he didn't expect that it would exceed so many.

It seems that the Black Flame Apostle contributed more than 500 merit points alone.

"So many?" Renn couldn't help blurting out.

"You didn't expect it, did you? Actually, I didn't expect it either."

Seeing Ren's eyes widened with a surprised expression, Hamilton suddenly felt a lot more balanced.

Renne had given him too many shocks recently!

Now, it was his turn to shock Renne.

"Here, these are the relevant documents for participating in the canonization assessment. You need to fill them out yourself." Hamilton handed another thin document to Renne and said.

"Yeah." After Ren took it, he looked at it carefully.

The document consists of two pieces of paper, and the written content is very simple.

In fact, it is just a disclaimer, which means that the assessment is risky and you should be cautious when participating.

You can give up at any time before the assessment task is issued.

However, if you give up after the assessment task is issued, you will need to wait for five years before you can refer to it again. If you give up twice in a row, you will be banned from taking the exam for life.

After reading it quickly, Ren immediately picked up the quill and filled in his name.

"By the way, Renn, I heard that you were practicing heavy hammering at the training ground this morning?" Hamilton asked casually after taking the document handed over by Renn.

"Yes, my lord."

Renn was still a little surprised. The news spread so quickly?

What happened in the morning reached Hamilton's ears in the afternoon.

Hamilton frowned slightly and said: "Although the damage caused by the heavy hammer is amazing, if the practice time is short, it may be difficult to make any substantial progress."

"It is recommended that you focus on the giant bear swordsmanship and wait until the canonization assessment is over before practicing."

Renn nodded and did not object. He knew that Hamilton had good intentions.

But he has a problem, it’s different!

"By the way, I have two things to remind you about the canonization assessment." Hamilton thought for a while and then said.

"The first one is that if you encounter a multiplayer mission or a team mission, you must pay attention to some of your teammates."

"When I talk about teammates, I don't just mean the heirs of nobles, but also commoners."

As if he had thought of something, Hamilton's face became solemn when he mentioned the last sentence.

"Of course, it is best if you can win a single mission. Although the difficulty of the mission may be a bit higher, relatively speaking, the situation is easier to grasp."

"Furthermore, according to your current strength and age, as long as you can complete the task normally, your rating should not be low. The Lord's assessment should be very confident."

"As for whether we can capture the Baron, I don't think we need to force it. Everything should be based on our own safety."

"Thank you for your concern, sir. I will pay attention." Seeing Hamilton being so solemn, Renn nodded seriously and said.

"Then you should make good preparations recently. According to the usual practice, someone from above will contact you within one month after the declaration."

"A month?" Renn looked thoughtful.

In one month, it is enough to improve my strength to another level!

evening.

Facing the sunset, Renn wore a plate armor and carried a shimmering giant sword wrapped in sheepskin, and arrived at the Habsburg Manor, which he had not been to for nearly a month.

Under the sunset, the Habsburg Manor looks like a solid gold building covered with golden gauze, which is magnificent.

For the first time, Ren discovered that the scenery of the original manor was really beautiful.

Maybe it was because of my mentality before, so I never appreciated it properly.

It's like a little boy of five or six years old who was held in the arms of a beautiful woman with a curvy figure, but he didn't notice it at all. Instead, he was attracted by a lollipop and couldn't take his eyes off it.

Ryan came to the door of the manor familiarly.

At this time, a maid had been waiting at the door for a long time. Seeing Ryan, she stepped forward and said respectfully: "Excuse me, Lord Ryan?"

Ryan nodded and said: "Yes."

"Please follow me."

"Okay." Ryan followed the maid into the castle.

After the maid took Ryan to a luxuriously decorated reception room, she said: "Lord Ryan, please sit in the reception room for a while, I will report to you immediately."

Just as Ryan was leisurely looking at the exquisite decorations in the reception room, a familiar figure appeared at the door.

"Huh? You are Ryan?" The head maid Xia Diya, holding a silver teapot, was looking at Ryan with a surprised face, and seemed a little unsure.

After all, Ryan's figure has changed a lot in a month.

However, when Ryan looked up, Shadiya confirmed that the young man sitting in the castle's reception room was Ryan.

"Why are you here?" Shadiya was still wearing a black maid outfit that represented a senior servant.

Ryan stood up and smiled at the head maid Shadiya. When he was about to say something, he heard footsteps at the door.

This made Shadiya a little nervous.

She knew that Knight Lloyd would entertain a distinguished guest in the evening.

So, she brought tea and prepared to receive him in person.

But now Ryan didn't know why he appeared here.

"By the way, Ryan, are you here to get the black tung oil?"

"But I remember I took you to recognize the way last time?"

"Ryan, follow me quickly, this is the reception room, and a distinguished guest will come soon."

At this time, Knight Lloyd walked in, and Perez, the swordsmanship instructor, was beside him.

The entry of the two extraordinary people made the head maid Shadiya's face change!

Lloyd and Perez's eyes passed over Shadiya and fixed their gazes on Ryan.

This made Shadiya secretly exclaim "bad" in her heart!

Although Knight Lloyd was a good man, as the person in charge of the manor, he was rather old-fashioned and particular about rules.

As for Sir Perez, she could feel the pride hidden deep in his bones.

This kind of pride was not derogatory, but more of a knight's pride, and pride in his own skills!

Just as Shadiya's head was turning rapidly, trying to find a suitable reason for Ryan, she heard Lloyd's hearty laughter and said, "Ryan! You are finally here!"

And Perez, the always proud swordsmanship instructor, also smiled at Ryan.

Because in his heart, Ryan's outstanding giant bear swordsmanship had already won his recognition.

Ah?

Shadiya's beautiful eyes suddenly widened by two circles, her mouth slightly opened, and she stared at this scene in a daze.

This. This.

What is going on!

Could it be that the distinguished guest tonight is Ryan?

"Knight Lloyd, Mr. Perez, you..." Shadiya looked at Ryan, and then at the two extraordinary knights.

"Hey, Shadiya, do you know Ryan?" Lloyd looked at Shadiya's shocked expression and asked proactively.

Before Shadiya answered, Ryan said with a smile: "Haha, Knight Lloyd, you may not know that I once participated in the child servant training in the manor. During the training, the head maid Shadiya took good care of me."

"Oh?" Knight Lloyd looked at Shadiya with a smile.

"Yes, that's it." Shadiya still didn't react.

"Ryan, do you want me to take you to visit the castle first?" Knight Lloyd was still very careful, and did not ask or mention too much about Ryan's child servant training here.

After all, many people don't like to be mentioned in the past, especially when it is not too glorious.

"Of course, it's my honor." Ryan said with a smile.

"This is the back garden, but it's a pity that it's the frost month now, and the flowering period of many flowers has passed." Knight Lloyd introduced.

Ryan nodded.

At this time, when he came to the back garden of the castle again, he couldn't help but think of the scene where he and Claire competed here.

"This is the blacksmith shop." Knight Lloyd pointed to the end of the corridor on the first floor of the castle and said.

"Oh? Blacksmith shop?" Ryan asked knowingly.

"Can I go in and take a look? Actually, the two adults may not know that I am very interested in forging!"

Thank you book friend 20191020065143941 for the 100 reward!

It's the end of the month, please give me the monthly ticket in your hands, thank you! ^_^
