Chapter 192 Undercurrent (Two Chapters in One)

The county town of Meister.

In the hall of the Temple of the Goddess of Monsoon and Ocean.

Renn glanced at the experience points of each extraordinary profession on the attribute panel, and then looked thoughtful.

Wizard Apprentice (Extraordinary) lv4 (358/1000)/Knight (Extraordinary) lv5 (795/2000)/Beast Tamer (Extraordinary) lv5 (64/2000).

After some quick weighing, Renn first excluded the Knight (Extraordinary) career panel, because he is facing a lot of battles now, and the current methods of fighting enemies are mainly based on knight combat skills. Therefore, the Knight panel can obtain The experience value is quite rich.

Secondly, as for the animal trainer, he has some new potions that he wants to try out recently, and he will probably gain a lot of experience.

Looking at it this way, the most difficult thing to improve is the first item.

So, in the end, Renn focused his attention on the Wizard Apprentice (Extraordinary) career panel.

As Ren recited 'Wizard's Apprentice' silently, 1976 experience points were instantly spent on the Wizard's Apprentice (Extraordinary) career panel.

Instantly, a system prompt appeared:

[Congratulations, your wizard apprentice (extraordinary) career level has been improved! 】

It is only seen that the professional level of the Sorcerer Apprentice (Extraordinary) on the panel has changed from lv4 to lv5 (1325/2000), and at the bottom of the panel, there is a prompt of remaining attribute points: 3, and remaining skill points: 2.

Seeing this scene, Renn couldn't help but reveal a bright smile on his face.

A blessing from the goddess?

it's actually very good!

In response, Ren sincerely performed a knighthood salute to Bishop Xion and said: "Thank you goddess, thank you Lord Bishop!"

After a friendly conversation, Renn took the initiative to mention that there was something going on at home.

So, after bidding farewell to Bishop Sheehan and Dean Rudolph, Renn slowly walked out of the hall.

Watching Ren leave, Bishop Xion turned his head and asked, "Rudolph, you still have vicious eyes. I didn't expect that the boy you reported to me once before has grown to this extent."

"It's a pity that such an outstanding young man failed to join our church."

When Ren returned to his new mansion on his tall black horse, the first person to welcome him was the greyhound 'Cookie'.

Before leaving, Ren left the care of Cookie to his sister Mint. After a month of 'catalysis' by adding several drops of mutated growth potion to three meals a day, Cookie's physique has exceeded Much more common than greyhounds.

In addition, Ren keenly discovered that the body of the greyhound began to change from a slender dog, and the muscles on the body were obviously bulging. It was getting further and further away from the slender body of the greyhound breed itself. It seemed that some kind of development had begun. Mutant growth.

good!

Renn nodded slightly. Although becoming stronger may lead to a decrease in speed, this mutation is still acceptable to him.

If the dog king 'Cole' mutates into a talent similar to 'high-speed reproduction', then he will have a headache.

Seeing Cookie, who was playing with him, suddenly running out, Mint was stunned for a moment, immediately raised his head, and then shouted with joy: "Brother, it's brother who's back!"

Ren dismounted, picked up his sister Mint, smiled and rubbed her head.

Soon, the news of Ren's return spread throughout the new mansion.

After a while, the beautiful woman Jennifer also walked out of the villa in the mansion quickly.

However, when she saw Renn chatting with his family, the beautiful woman could only temporarily endure the urge to rush into Renn's arms, and looked at Renn with a smile.

Soon, Renn noticed the beautiful woman with a hint of worry on her eyebrows.

I saw Ren saying to his mother Emma and old Ren: "Father, mother, Baroness Crowley and I have something to discuss."

"Well, go ahead." Mother Emma nodded readily without doubting that he was there.

Because during the time when Wren was away, Baroness Crowley got along quite happily with her. From the perspective of her mother Emma, ​​it seemed that ladies and young ladies from aristocratic families were not as difficult to get along with as she imagined.

Especially the beautiful Baroness. Although she is not a few years younger than her, when they walk together, they look like two generations.

When his old man saw this beautiful woman, he didn't even dare to raise his head and blushed at the sight.

This couldn't help but make Emma envious of the beautiful woman's natural beauty.

Looking at the leaving figures of the tall Ren and the elegant and beautiful woman, Emma felt for no reason that 'these two are a perfect match'.

But soon, Emma shook her head and got this ridiculous idea out of her mind.

It would be more like Miss Jane to be Ren's wife.

Although this beautiful baroness is good-looking, she is a widow, and she is too old after all.

Ren and the beautiful woman soon arrived at the study room on the second floor.

As soon as the beautiful woman locked the door, she could no longer maintain her smile in front of outsiders. She handed Ren an invitation-style thing with a sad look on her face, and said worriedly: "My dear, this is Baron Norman." The bloody duel book."

In private meetings between the two of them, the beautiful woman now calls Ren her dear.

Renn smiled and said nothing. Instead, he took the duel book and opened it casually:

"Baron Wren: Since your insult to the Norman family can only be washed away with blood, please be sure to agree to defend the honor of the knights with me in the county duel field on the second Sunday of the Snow Moon until our side One of them fell, and after the duel, all the grudges were wiped out!"

When Ren saw such a shameless duel book, he couldn't help but laugh out loud on the spot.

What an insult to the Norman family!

It was your Norman family who repeatedly assassinated me that led to this current situation!

However, Renn thought about it and realized that this was a strategy of the other party.

First of all, let's talk and win everyone's sympathy. The main idea is that you, the new baron, have insulted the Norman family. Otherwise, I can challenge you to a duel!

As for the evidence?

Of course there is no such thing, that’s what nobles are like.

However, seeing the worried expression on the beautiful woman beside him, Ren smiled softly, stepped forward and hugged the beautiful woman's gentle body, comforting her:

"Jennifer, don't worry, maybe the situation is not as bad as you think."

After thinking about it, in order to reassure the beautiful woman, Ren took out the silver conch medal just given by Bishop Xion from his arms and handed it to the beautiful woman.

The beautiful woman first glanced at Ren with a pair of beautiful eyes, but when she took the medal and looked at it, she quickly realized and exclaimed: "Is this the silver conch medal of the Monsoon and Ocean Goddess Church?"

"That's right!"

"This is difficult to award. The average person who devotes his life to the Goddess Church may not be able to obtain the Iron Shell Medal. My dear, what is your medal?" The beautiful woman turned around and asked curiously.

Renn did not answer directly, but asked with a smile: "Do you know the Wilderness Brotherhood?"

The beautiful woman nodded firmly and said: "Of course I know, they are notorious throughout Meister County. Some time ago, the shops under the Crowley family were also attacked by gangsters under their command. It was troublesome, but I still spent a lot of effort to sort it out.”

"Well, do you know who their president is?" Renn continued to ask.

"It seems that Giovanni, who is nicknamed the 'Beast Knight', is extremely powerful. It is said that except for the great knights, he is a little afraid of them. He does not pay attention to other knights, even the peak knights."

Although the beautiful woman didn't know why Ren suddenly mentioned the Wilderness Brotherhood and Giovanni, she still answered quickly.

"Very good, then do you think it is Giovanni who is stronger, or Baron Norman who is stronger now?" Renn asked another question.

"Is this about the same? It is said that both of them have combat power that is very close to that of a great knight. Maybe Giovanni is stronger." The beautiful woman thought for a moment and said.

"Well, don't you want to know why the Goddess Church awarded me this silver conch medal?"

"Because I killed Giovanni!" Renne looked at the beautiful woman with a smile and revealed the answer.

The beautiful woman's bright eyes suddenly widened, and her small cherry mouth opened so wide that it could almost fit an egg.

"This..." The beautiful woman said this for a long time, but she didn't say anything.

Obviously, saying ‘That’s impossible! ’ is inappropriate, saying ‘How is this possible? ’ It was also a question for Renne, and the beautiful woman would naturally not say it out loud.

However, the beautiful woman never expected that her little man would be so strong.

No! The most terrifying thing is this speed of improvement!

You know, Renne just became an official knight a few months ago!

Oh my God! This is incredible!

Immediately, the beautiful woman suddenly understood why Ren had to go in such a big circle.

Because most of the worries in her heart disappeared in an instant, the beautiful woman's original sad face quickly disappeared. Her fair and rosy skin gradually began to shine, and a pair of charming silky eyes looked at Ren, Affection mixed with adoration.

Being stared at by the beautiful woman like this, Renn suddenly felt a sense of male pride welling up in his heart.

Although it was almost dinner time, the two people who were eager to make firewood took action quickly.

I saw Ren picked up the beautiful woman with a gentle hand and placed her in front of the window of the study room, letting the beautiful woman look far ahead, while he lifted up the hem of her skirt, revealing her round and round body. .

The excitement was heightened by the fear of servants calling them to dinner and other possible interruptions at any time.

The beautiful woman suppressed her gasps and was quickly defeated.

And Ren, who entered the sage state, began to think about business.

Because if you only have women in your heart and everything revolves around women, then I'm sorry, this will only affect the speed of men drawing swords.

Ren has understood this a long time ago, so these things are just some kind of adjustment for his boring practice, or in other words, it makes him feel happy physically and mentally, so that he can devote himself to practice and fighting in a better state.

Going through several prerequisites for promotion to the [Weapon Master (Legendary)] career panel again, Ren discovered that, except for the first item, three extraordinary combat skills at level 10, the one stuck on him was probably the essence of the giant beast. .

The most important thing for extraordinary combat skill level 10 is to obtain enough skill points by improving the career level on the panel, but for the essence of giant beasts, it seems that he only knows one channel.

That is through the County Military Supplies Department.

However, he just thought of a problem. His duel opponent, Baron Norman, is retired from the Imperial Navy. If he goes to the military supply department openly, the news may soon reach his ears, and he or the beast will be given a message. Essence sets obstacles.

After thinking about it, Ren lowered his head and asked:

"By the way, Jennifer, do you know about the Behemoth Essence Potion?"

"Is it the essence of the giant beast that a knight needs to become a great knight?" The beautiful woman lying in Ren's arms said in a lazy tone after the rain.

"That's right. Is there any way to get this as quickly as possible? By the way, if you need raw materials, I still have two pieces of the heart of the beast here." Renn added.

Hearing this, Jennifer, who was lying on her stomach, raised her head, blinked her beautiful eyes, and looked surprised, as if she couldn't believe what the man in front of her said.

Although she is not a knight, as the leader of the Crowley family, she naturally knows such common sense things.

What Ren meant between the lines was very clear - he needed the essence of the giant beast.

This means that the little man in front of him, no, the 'big' man, is about to reach the level of a great knight.

But now is the Snow Moon, and Jennifer knows from Emma that Renne has just turned sixteen.

Are you going to become a great knight?

Oh my God!

The sixteen-year-old knight, I wonder if there are such exaggerated things in the provincial capital Münster!

Jennifer didn't ask Ren whether he was sure about attacking the big knight this time, but assumed that her little man must be very sure about it.

Wait, also, just now Ren said that he has two ready-made hearts of giant beasts?

Jennifer feels like her brain is running out of space!

After calming down the excitement in her heart, Jennifer thought carefully about the important matter for the little man, and said softly:

"Three ways, I'm not sure which one is more suitable."

"In addition, this also involves safety issues, so in the end, you still need to make the decision."

Jennifer said while tapping Ren's chest with her white fingers.

"There are only two potion masters in the entire Meister County, and one of them is not good at Behemoth Essence potions. Therefore, there is actually only one pharmacist in the county who can make 'Behemoth Essence', and that is Master Holland. "

"But the problem is that the success rate of this Master Holland's medicine is quite different from that of the masters of the Royal Apothecary Society, both in terms of efficacy and success rate."

"It would be fine if it were primary and intermediate potions, but the beast essence is a high-level potion. I'm afraid the success rate is worrying, but this should be the fastest way. Normally, if Master Holland agrees, within three days The production of the Behemoth Essence is completed.”

"Of course, what awaits you in three days may be failure."

"Secondly, it is through the Axion Auction House. This is a huge auction house that spans the entire empire. It is said that the backer behind it is a big shot in the entire empire."

"Perhaps other auction houses do not have channels to obtain the essence of behemoths, but there is a high probability that Axon Auction House can, but the price is extremely high. At the same time, the time is relatively difficult to determine. It may be very soon, or it may be necessary. a month.”

"In the end, it was purchased through the empire's official channels."

"Dear, as an imperial public servant and now with the status of a baron, you can directly order the essence of the giant beast. Of course, if you can provide the heart of the giant beast, the price can be greatly reduced, but this is also the slowest. One month is At least the time.”

Hearing that Jennifer knew so much about various secrets, Renn felt like he had found a treasure by accident.

Unexpectedly, apart from being beautiful, the beautiful woman is really not a vase. Although she is not familiar with martial arts, she is very familiar with the secrets of the nobility, business secrets, etc.

The other party's item-by-item analysis just now was of great help to him.

"By the way, Jennifer, there's one more thing. When you send someone to contact Sheriff Hamilton of Goldsmith Town, tell him that I invited him to discuss the matter."

"Yes." The beautiful woman lay on Ren's chest again and said obediently.

Ren was in a good mood and felt that it was necessary to reward the beautiful women again, so the two of them ended their in-depth communication only half an hour later when a servant came to report that dinner was ready.

The radiant and beautiful woman combed her messed up hair, returned to her dignified appearance as a lady, and walked out of the study with Renn one after another.

It must be said that the beautiful woman worked very efficiently. Not long after dinner, Renne saw Hamilton in the study who had just arrived.

The first time he saw Renn, Hamilton grabbed Renn and said solemnly: "Do you know that Baron Norman asked you for a bloody duel?"

Ren nodded, and at the same time, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

So he told Hamilton again part of what he said to Jennifer.

Although in his heart, Hamilton had overestimated Rennes' combat power as much as possible, what Rennes said just now still shocked him to the core!

Hamilton looked up and down, and then asked the most familiar stranger in front of him: "Ren, was it really you who killed this Giovanni on your own?"

Although Renne had made it very clear just now, and the Silver Conch Medal of the Goddess Church could no longer be true, Hamilton still found it hard to believe that his former subordinate, his adjutant Renne, had now reached This is such a high level.

This is the height that he needs to look up to!

Seeing Ren nodded, Hamilton sighed.

But soon, Hamilton adjusted his mentality and said: "However, Ren, you still can't take it lightly. Baron Norman has rich combat experience and his combat power is not inferior to Giovanni."

"I understand!" Renn nodded and said.

"By the way, Ren, why did you call me here this time?" Hamilton asked.

"Sir, I want to ask this time, is there anything special that needs to be paid attention to in the process of becoming a knight?" Ren asked.

"Huh? Have you reached this level?" Hamilton's eyes suddenly lit up and he looked at Renne with a burning gaze.

"It should be soon." Renn nodded.

Hamilton looked thoughtful, but did not immediately answer Ren's question. After a while, he said:

"The biggest difference between a great knight and a knight is"

——

In a study room in Baron Norman's mansion.

Alonso's butler Michel is visiting Baron Norman.

"Lord Baron, I bring you greetings from Baron Alonso. First of all, congratulations on your return to the peak of strength."

"Thank you Baron Alonso for your concern for me," Norman said reservedly, still a little unhappy in his heart.

If before, he still needed to show some respect to the butler of the count's eldest son, Alonso, but now that his strength has recovered and he is likely to become a great knight, it is different.

Regarding his successful recovery after taking the secret medicine, he felt that it would not be an exaggeration even if Alonso came to congratulate him in person. But this time, as usual, the other party only sent a butler.

Although Michelle is not strong enough, he has been immersed in the aristocratic circle for so many years. Through the other party's attitude and expression, he can still guess a little bit about Baron Norman's true thoughts. After some inner criticism, he said with a smile:

"Lord Baron, I have news here that I believe you will be interested in. It is about your duel opponent Renn this time."

"Oh?" Baron Norman raised his eyebrows. He glanced at Michelle casually, not paying much attention.

Because in Baron Norman's view, with his current strength, he no longer needs to care about the news from Renne.

However, since Michelle said this, it didn't hurt for him to listen.

"Ren killed the president of the Wilderness Brotherhood, 'Beast Knight' Giovanni, one-on-one outside the county town today!" Michelle looked solemn and told a shocking news.

"What!" Baron Norman's originally calm face suddenly turned into one of shock. He stared at Michelle with burning eyes and couldn't help blurting out.

really! Michelle's lips curled up into a smile.

I told you to pretend!

Shocked!

I thought my recovery of strength was awesome!

You are just a long sword in the hands of Baron Alonso, and what we are doing is to make your long sword sharper.

"It's absolutely true, this is one of our people, I saw it with my own eyes!" Michelle said solemnly, suppressing the smile at the corner of her mouth.

Baron Norman was worthy of having experienced big storms. Apart from his initial gaffe, he soon calmed down.

He didn't speak for a while, but was frowning and thinking about something.

Not only were the beast knights Giovanni and Baron Norman familiar, but they had also fought against each other a long time ago because of the family caravan.

At that time, he was not injured and was in peak condition, but he was still slightly behind the opponent in the battle. However, the opponent was also very afraid of his strength and took the initiative to retreat.

Therefore, even if his strength has returned to its peak, he still dare not say that he can defeat Giovanni.

But Renne has already done it.

This made Norman's mood sink from the peak to the bottom all of a sudden.

Originally, he thought that the bloody duel a week later would be within reach!

Ren, no matter how talented you are, I won't give you a chance to grow and kill you in advance.

But now it seems that I misjudged, Ren's growth rate is too amazing!

This level of talent, even in the provincial capital Münster, is quite explosive.

After a while, the butler Michelle said with a smile: "Mr. Alonso means that if you need any help from us, you can ask us. Our goals are the same, and we hope that you can do it next week." Victory in a bloody duel."

Norman nodded.

If it looks like that.

My original plan has to be moved forward.

His original idea was that after killing Ren in the bloody duel, he would take advantage of the victory and take the 'Essence of the Behemoth' in an effort to break through to the Great Knight.

You know, for his age, this is probably his biggest chance to break through the Great Knight.

If he fails this time, there will be no secret medicine that can restore him to his peak strength.

But facing Ren, who has been able to kill Giovanni, it seems that breaking through the Great Knight is the only way to win!

Although he had ordered a bottle of Behemoth Essence through his own special channel two days ago, it would take at least half a month before it could be delivered to Mayist.

There was no time.

After thinking for a while, Baron Norman said: "I need a bottle of giant beast essence, the sooner the better! At the latest, give it to me the day before the bloody duel, are you sure?"

"What!" Michelle looked shocked. He instantly understood what Baron Norman meant. The other party was trying to reach the realm of the Great Knight in advance.

Once successful, you can crush Ren in a bloody duel and win.

He is truly worthy of being an elite member of the Imperial Navy. Tsk tsk, I still underestimate him. He is courageous and dares to risk his life for victory!

"Okay, I will tell Baron Alonso immediately. Although this is difficult, I believe Lord Alonso will find a way."

"Without further ado, Lord Baron Norman, I will take my leave first." Michelle knew that the matter was of great importance and immediately chose to leave first.

When Michel came to Baron Alonso's study and reported the meeting, Alonso looked thoughtful and said:

"There should be a copy of the Heart of the Beast in the family's treasury. I will apply for it with my father later. Then, Michelle, you can give it to Master Holland."

"Also, help me contact the Axon Auction House and ask them if they have the essence of the giant beast. If so, no matter how much it costs, we must get it."

"Respect, Lord Baron!"

——

Late at night, Meist County, the seaside of the fishing port town.

The bright moonlight is scattered on the sea, and the moonlight is sparkling.

A small boat rushed onto the beach with a 'swish' sound.

Seven or eight well-armed strong men quickly jumped off the boat, and the surrounding area became alert. Then, a strong man who looked like a squad leader reported in a low voice: "Comodore Parix, it's safe! You can get off the boat." "

As soon as the team leader finished speaking, a pair of shiny plate armor boots stepped out of the cabin of the boat, stepped on the beach, and trampled a fiddler crab into pulp.

Looking up from the shiny plate armor boots, I saw a burly man wearing half-armor walking out of the cabin.

After looking around, he asked: "Have you contacted Meist's liaison officer Magis?"

"Where's the person who came to pick me up?"

"That idiot Andre, it's so embarrassing to be blamed for everything! Now it's better, he still needs me to wipe his ass."

It seems that Brigadier General Parix is ​​quite dissatisfied with the Resistance Army assigning him to be in charge of the overall operations in Meist County!
