Chapter 144: Invincible Power (Two Chapters in One)

The next morning, when Ren woke up, the first thing he did was think about whether he had responded appropriately to the Iron Maiden puppet attack last night.

Ancestors from previous lives have a famous saying: ‘I examine myself three times every day’.

Although the content of reflection is different, the principle is the same.

"First of all, what makes me stronger than last time is that this time I have the hammer technique as a means to fight against the enemy."

"So, after grasping the key to the enemy's resonance frequency, you can quickly use the super strong concussive force of the heavy hammer to cause strong damage to enemies with strong defenses like the Iron Maiden Doll!"

Ren's eyes flickered and he kept thinking.

"However, the shortcoming is still obvious, that is, the means of fighting the enemy are still limited to physical attacks."

"No, to be precise, it's a short-range physical attack."

"Because whether it's a big sword or a heavy hammer, it doesn't break away from this limitation."

"Of course, this is limited by the knight (extraordinary) profession itself. At most, it is to practice throwing or improve bow and arrow skills to gain long-range physical attack capabilities."

"But in this extraordinary world, this is still not enough!"

"The next step is to find as many ways to deal with the enemy as possible. For example, we will conduct in-depth research on the only witchcraft currently mastered, 'Seering Touch', and collect as many witchcraft as possible."

"One more question is about the origin of the Iron Maiden doll that appeared last night."

"According to what Hamilton said, it seems that he intended to classify it as a mysterious event."

"But the fact that the other party almost directly targeted his home to launch the attack does not seem like an accidental mysterious incident. In terms of remoteness, Anna's house is further outside the town than her own home. It makes no sense. The enemy jumped over Anna Home, directly attack your own home.”

"In addition, the human skin hanging on the inner wall of the Iron Maiden doll always seems to have some connection with the Black Flame Church. For example, the human skin armor on the apostle"

Ren was very doubtful about this.

"However, if the Black Flame Cult targets me, then the safety of my family will be very problematic."

As soon as he thought about this problem, Renn immediately went out and came to the town administration hall, where he found the captain of the night watchman, the little Mateo, who was still busy because of the attack.

"Adjutant!" Seeing Ren coming over, Mateo greeted with a smile.

Although he was tired for most of the night, Mateo was in excellent spirits. Perhaps because the night watchman was used to reversing day and night for a long time, he was not tired after a busy night.

Renn also smiled and nodded at this acquaintance, and said, "Matteo, do you know where there are vacant houses near the town administration hall?"

Just now, Ren was thinking about whether it would be better to move.

First, because the original house had been severely damaged due to the attack by the Iron Maiden Doll, and the second most important reason was safety issues, so Renn planned to buy a house near the Goldsmith Town Administration Hall.

In this case, at least the safety will be much better.

After all, the area near the Administration Hall is already the safest area in Goldshire.

"Huh? Adjutant, are you moving?" Mateo asked curiously.

"Yeah! Last night's attack caused serious damage to the house. In addition, I think the location of my home is a bit remote and may not be safe. I plan to buy a ready-made house in the center of the town."

After listening, Matteo nodded and said:

"What a coincidence, sir! After the last attack by cultists, several houses in the center of the town have been uninhabited. Some of them are because their family members died in the attack on the church. Empty out.”

"There are also some who have become the only survivors of their families. Considering safety issues, their houses are being put up for sale and plan to move to the county to live." Matteo explained.

Sure enough, Matteo must be more familiar with these trivial matters than Hamilton, which is why Rennes did not find Hamilton, but the captain of the night watchman, Matteo.

The county town is obviously not suitable for the Wren family to go to now. After all, Wren's current position is the deputy security officer of Goldshire.

"Well, Matteo, then help me find a ready-made house that can be moved in directly. The area should be larger. The total price should not exceed three hundred gold coins per empire." Renn thought for a while and said.

"Three hundred gold? Don't worry, sir. At this price, you can buy almost the best house in Gold Town." Mateo patted his chest hard and assured.

"Then I will go check out all the vacant houses later. Sir, I will report to you later."

"Matteo, if you find a suitable house, you can go to Boris's blacksmith shop to find me."

"Okay, sir!"

After finishing this matter, Ren returned home.

After arriving home, Ren discussed the move with his parents.

"Ren, it would be a good thing to move to the center of the town, but it should cost a lot of money to buy a house in the center of the town, right?" Mother Emma frowned.

"Mother, you and your father don't have to worry about money. I have already made arrangements."

"But Ren, your income from the Night Watch is not that high, right? You have so much money." Her mother, Emma, ​​seemed to have thought of something and looked at Ren with a slightly serious face.

"Mother, where did you want to go? These are my trophies and mission rewards. You should still remember the scene when I killed the cultists." Ren said looking at his mother Emma with a little helplessness.

Mother Emma was stunned for a moment, seeming to recall the scene at that time, and couldn't help but nodded.

"Ren, your mother and I will listen to your arrangements on this matter!" After hearing this for a long time, his father, Old Ren, choked out this sentence, but it was considered the final word.

"Brother, when will we move?" My sister Bo Mint asked curiously.

For children, moving to a new home is a happy thing as long as the family is together.

"I've asked Mateo to look for it. If everything goes well, we can move out in the afternoon. Father, mother, you pack your things in the morning. I'll go to the blacksmith shop later."

"When I come back, we will move." Ren said, patting his sister Mint's head lovingly.

"Hmm, then I'll pick the winter rapeseed with sister Anna later. It's a pity, they haven't grown up yet." Mint thought of the winter rapeseed that Anna and she had planted in the yard before. Obviously, she was quite unhappy. Abandon.

After discussing it with his family, Renn came to the second floor and mentioned the move to Anna and Lagret, and the two women readily agreed.

For Anna, being with Renne is naturally a good thing, and she has no reason to object.

And LaGrey

She didn't have a house in Goldshire, so naturally she could only follow Ren or Anna.

After communicating about the moving matter, Ren called La Gray to go to Boris's blacksmith shop, and what he carried in his hand was a large bag of metal shell fragments from the Iron Maiden doll.

That's the very rare material that Lagre said - hardened fine gold.

However, as soon as the two of them took two steps, LaGelei stopped Ren and said with a frown: "Ren, I may have overlooked a problem, and this problem may not be easy to solve."

"This hardened fine gold is difficult to smelt, and the temperature required is very high. If it were the blacksmith shop in the small town last time, I don't think I would be able to smelt it."

"Huh?" Renn raised his eyebrows upon hearing this.

This is really a problem.

But the next second, a flash of light flashed in Ren's mind.

"Maybe I have a solution."

"I'll try it later. If it doesn't work, there's another place with a blast furnace. We can go there then." Ren said with a smile.

Lagree glanced at Renn and didn't question anything. Instead, she nodded trustingly.

It seems that what strong people say has higher credibility.

Soon, the two came to the blacksmith shop.

As soon as he walked into the blacksmith shop, Ren found that there were several less blacksmith apprentices who had not been here for a while.

When he saw Renne coming in, Boris showed a happy smile, but when he saw Lagret behind Renne, his expression changed and he said:

"Ren, long time no see! Are you here to borrow my blacksmith shop again today?"

"Uncle Boris, you guessed it right. I'm going to disturb you again today." Ren said with a smile.

Boris showed a wry smile, turned around and yelled at the blacksmith apprentices: "You brats, you should thank Ren, you can rest today again, let's all disperse!"

After driving away the blacksmith students, Boris walked to Renn and asked quietly: "Renn, I heard that a new deputy security officer came to the town, and he said he looks a lot like you. How about this?" have you heard of it?"

Hearing what Boris said, Lagret couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Uncle Boris, that's none other than me!" Ren said slightly embarrassed.

"Huh? Is that you?" Boris looked at Renn suspiciously, patted Renn's shoulder, and said:

"Don't joke with uncle, but it's a good thing you have such ambition!"

Ren was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but shook his head helplessly.

At this time, Boris seemed to have thought of something, closed the door of the blacksmith shop, and hung a sign saying 'out of business'.

Immediately afterwards, he came back and looked at Renn, and said eagerly: "By the way, I can help with whatever you want to build today."

After saying that, he frequently glanced at Lagret next to Ren.

"Uncle Boris, I'm afraid I can't let you watch today's forging." Renn glanced at Lagre and said.

"Huh? Well, okay!" Boris saw Lagret who was silent and thought it was because of the other party, so he said with a slight regret.

However, when Ren handed Boris a small bag of gold coins, he suddenly smiled again.

After Boris left, only Lagret and Renn were left in the entire blacksmith shop.

"Ren, you just said there is a way to smelt this?" LaGrei pointed at the large bag of hardened adamantine fragments and asked curiously.

Ren nodded.

"Well, then you will be responsible for the smelting, and I will make a clay mold for the two-handed war hammer first."

"Well, let me try first."

"By the way, Ren, what style of war hammer do you want?" As if remembering something, Lagrei, who had just taken a step, turned around again and asked.

"What types of hammers are there generally?"

Ren suddenly thought that he did not need to make it according to the style of the previous bronze war hammer this time. His previous bronze war hammer had flat sides on both sides of the hammer head and mainly relied on huge impact to attack the enemy with concussive damage.

"Generally speaking, knights tend to use morning star hammers or spiked war hammers." Lagre said after thinking for a while.

"Morning Star Hammer?" Renn couldn't think of this style of hammer in his mind.

However, he still knew about the spiked warhammer. One side of the hammer head was flat, and the other side was spiked. The spiked head was specifically used to break armor.

"Well, the hammer head is round, and the surface is equipped with multiple metal spikes, which is a bit like a mace." Lagre simply gestured.

This made Ryan understand quickly!

Ryan concentrated on thinking.

He had the hammer technique "Earth-breaking Hammer", and it was obviously not very suitable to use the Morning Star Hammer to perform it.

In comparison, the pointed hammer with a flat head on one side was the most suitable.

The pointed head can perform the rotation force of the secret technique "Rising Dragon Hammer" to enhance armor-breaking!

And the flat head can perform the secret technique "Earth-breaking Hammer" to further deepen the shock damage!

"Lagre, let's use the spiked warhammer." Ryan decided.

"Well!"

Just as Lagre turned to leave again, she was stopped by Ryan.

"Wait!" Ryan suddenly thought of something.

He picked up the charcoal pencil beside him and quickly drew a few strokes on the parchment roll.

Then, Ryan handed the parchment roll to Lagre and said, "Can this kind of war hammer be made? It can be regarded as a variation of the spiked war hammer."

"The flat side of the hammer head remains unchanged, and the pointed side is similar to the Morning Star Hammer, with multiple spikes installed." Ryan explained.

"No problem, no problem, that is." Lagre glanced at Ryan with a strange look.

"Don't you think that the hammer head of this shape looks like a wild boar's head?"

"There are so many spikes at the pointed end, which looks like the bristles on the top of a wild boar's head."

Lagre seriously doubted Ryan's aesthetics.

Hehe!

It seems that his sketching skills are still good.

Yes, this is the classic pig-headed hammer! Ryan thought.

"Well, Pig Head Hammer, very descriptive! A perfect combination of Morning Star Hammer and Spiked Hammer, isn't it?"

"However, I have a better name here, Invincible Power! What do you think?" Ryan said with a smile.

"Invincible Power, you...Okay, as long as you are happy! Then I will go to the mold." Lagre rolled her beautiful eyes at Ryan and said helplessly.

At least, she could not understand Ryan's aesthetics and this name.

When Lagre went to make the clay mold of the war hammer, Ryan put the hardened adamantine fragments into the burning blacksmith furnace.

But obviously, it is impossible to smelt the hardened adamantine fragments with the blacksmith furnace that is very difficult to smelt ordinary iron ore.

Even if Ryan pulled the blower up, it was useless.

Naturally, this was not the method Ryan thought of.

He only focused his attention on the Wizard Apprentice (Extraordinary) panel and added a little skill point to the witchcraft 'Scorching Touch'.

Although the two remaining skill points were originally reserved for improving the limit-breaking value to deal with strong enemies.

But Ryan considered that once the warhammer was successfully forged, his blacksmith professional level would most likely be upgraded.

In this way, the remaining skill points after the upgrade can be restored to two points again, without any impact.

Of course, the main purpose of adding points is to verify Ryan's previous guess, that is, the power of the witchcraft "Scorching Touch", in addition to being linked to mental power, is it related to the skill level?

With the investment of this skill point, Ryan's mind instantly had a lot of fragmented memories of practicing the witchcraft "Scorching Touch".

It was as if Ryan had been practicing the witchcraft "Scorching Touch" day and night for several months.

Soon, Ryan discovered that he seemed to be able to omit the pronunciation of several syllables for the original spell.

In other words, the speed of chanting the spell has become faster!

Ryan, who came back to his senses, once again focused his attention on the icon of the witchcraft "Scorching Touch", and saw that the line of small words below the icon had quietly changed.

Burning Touch lv2 (5/300)

Effect of Burning Touch lv2: Consume a certain amount of mental power, use a specific witchcraft model to attract the surrounding fire energy particles, and cause high temperature damage within a certain range in front of the host's palm.

(Note: The casting time is 2.4 seconds, and the power is proportional to the duration and the host's mental power. The closer the contact distance, the greater the power. The current effective killing distance: 0~0.5 meters.)

Huh?

Ryan keenly noticed the change in the system's description.

The casting time was shortened from the original 3 seconds to 2.4 seconds, a time reduction of nearly 20%. This should be the effect of the compression of the spell syllables.

However, the description of the power that Ryan was most concerned about did not seem to have changed.

This made Ryan a little depressed.

It seems that the power of witchcraft still depends on mental power, and the proficiency affects the speed of casting witchcraft.

After thinking about it carefully, Ryan thought it was quite reasonable.

Because the witchcraft model is fixed, how can the power of witchcraft increase with the improvement of proficiency when the mental power consumed remains unchanged?

If it is possible, then there will be a first-level wizard apprentice who has just started to improve his mental power, and through long-term practice, he can perform a very powerful witchcraft, which is obviously impossible.

Of course, there may be other ways to improve the power of witchcraft.

But for now, it seems that the only way Ryan can do is to improve his mental power to improve the power of witchcraft.

Sure enough, for wizards or wizard apprentices, mental power is the foundation!

However, adding points can increase the speed of performing witchcraft, which is very practical.

What does a witchcraft that is nearly half a second faster mean in actual combat?

This is self-evident!

After thinking about it, Ryan decided to first verify whether the witchcraft "Scorching Touch" can cooperate with the blacksmith furnace to smelt and harden the refined gold.

Ryan raised his hands and held them in the air about thirty centimeters away from the blacksmith furnace, and then he chanted a spell softly.

And the time he cast the witchcraft this time was obviously much faster than before. After just over two seconds, a red light suddenly appeared on Ryan's palm.

Ryan could clearly feel that the free flame energy particles around were quickly gathering in front of his palm.

Suddenly, the flames of the furnace, which was already burning fiercely, suddenly jumped up!

Obviously, the furnace temperature was rapidly increasing due to the blessing of Ryan's witchcraft "Scorching Touch"!

It works!

Ryan was delighted!

Since the ‘Scorching Touch’ is a guided witchcraft, by maintaining a stable guide, the free flame energy particles around can be continuously gathered.

Soon, the temperature in the blacksmith furnace reached more than 2,000 degrees.

The hardened adamantium fragments gradually became brighter and softer from the initial red, and then, like a candle, they began to melt.

So, when Lagre came in with two clay molds, she saw a shocking scene in front of her.

However, at this time, Ryan had also finished the witchcraft ‘Scorching Touch’, so Lagre did not see the scene of Ryan performing witchcraft.

Of course, this was also done deliberately by Ryan.

For the time being, it is better to keep the fact that he knows witchcraft secret.

“Ryan, you”

After Lagre came to her senses, she immediately placed the prepared clay mold under the outlet of the blacksmith furnace.

When the smelted liquid adamantium slowly flowed into the clay mold, Lagre covered it and waited for it to slowly solidify and cool.

Ryan also took the time to glance at the system prompt:

[You have carried out the work of smelting hardened adamantium, and the relevant understanding has been improved! ]

[You have understood the new skill - smelting hardened adamantium]

[Your skill of smelting hardened adamantium has been improved, and the experience value is +76]

[You focus on smelting hardened adamantium, and the blacksmith professional experience value is +48]

Sure enough, the experience reward is generous!

Not long after, Lagre dismantled the clay blank, and a rough hardened adamantium war hammer came out.

However, the spikes on the pointed side of the hammer head need to be reinstalled.

At this moment, the pointed side is full of holes, and the flat side only needs a little polishing to be completed.

And these 20 to 30 centimeters long metal spikes, Lagre also cooled in another clay mold.

I saw Lagre began to put metal gaskets on the metal spikes and insert them into the holes of the hammer head, and then put them back into the blacksmith furnace for integrated smelting.

Next, there are some follow-up fine work.

For example, polishing, adding patterns to the hammer handle, increasing the friction when holding the handle, etc.

Generally speaking, if the user of the warhammer is below the extraordinary, then the combination of wooden handle and metal hammer head is often used, which is light enough and convenient for ordinary people to use.

As for the warhammer used by the knight (extraordinary), it is naturally an integrated metal handle and metal hammer head. Although it increases the weight, it mainly improves the durability and strength of the weapon.

[You have forged a two-handed warhammer, and the relevant comprehension has improved! ]

[You have comprehended a new skill - two-handed warhammer forging]

[Your skill two-handed warhammer forging has been improved, experience value +1]

[You focus on two-handed warhammer forging, blacksmith professional experience value +2]

[Congratulations, your blacksmith professional level has been improved! ]

Looking at the blacksmith professional level that has not been improved for a long time, it has been upgraded to blacksmith lv4 (0/1000), and Ryan couldn't help but smile.

The remaining attribute points and remaining skill points have also been restored to the state of two points.

At this time, a familiar voice came from outside the blacksmith shop.

"Are you there, adjutant?"

It was Matteo outside the door.

Thanks to all the readers for their strong support, which helped Donkey Hoof successfully win the boutique.
