Chapter 216 Communication (Two Chapters in One)

The first time Renn saw Captain Baron, he knew that he must be a great knight.

The opponent's muscles were taut, his steps were very rhythmic, and his breathing was steady and powerful. It gave him the feeling that he was facing a volcano that was about to erupt, full of danger and the power that was about to erupt.

Basically, Renn was convinced that Captain Baron was even more powerful than Volod.

The opponent is at least a senior knight, no, probably a peak knight.

However, Ren was still a little surprised at this moment.

Because he originally thought that the captain of the Ichthyosaurus Squadron, which belonged to the Navy's special department, was probably an official wizard, but he did not expect that the other party was still a great knight.

Could it be said that there are really so few official wizards?

At least so far, he has never met one.

Or maybe there are other reasons.

"Captain Baron, this is Baron Wren, the consul of Fishing Port Town." Major Marika introduced: "Baron Wren, this is Captain Baron of the Navy's Fish and Dragon Squadron."

"Captain Baron, hello." Ren said, bowing slightly.

At this time, Captain Baron sounded like the sound of rocks rubbing against each other: "Hello, Baron Wren."

Captain Baron's tiger eyes gleamed. After looking Ren up and down, he nodded and said:

"Baron Ren, it seems that the previous intelligence collection was wrong. Your strength is not a peak knight, but a great knight."

As soon as Captain Barron finished speaking, the eyes around Ren were obviously much more intense.

In particular, the other five members of the Ichthyosaurus team cast their eyes on Ren and kept sizing him up.

"It turns out to be the Great Knight!"

"No wonder Warlord died in the opponent's hands."

"I used to think that Baron Renne was just a peak knight."

"Now it seems that the opponent has master-level swordsmanship, coupled with the strength of a great knight, and has a third-level wizard apprentice to assist him, he can kill the injured Volod. The whole thing is more reasonable."

The team members exchanged a few words in low voices on the side, and they all showed expressions of sudden realization.

Lehman Brothers, on the other hand, was very surprised by what Captain Baron said.

Because the two of them were convinced that just a few days ago, when Lord Renne came to discuss with them, although the two of them joined forces, they did not resist for long, but at that time, in terms of their feelings, Lord Renne should not have reached the level of a great knight. Degree.

Could it be said that Sir Ren made a sudden breakthrough in the past two days? Lehman Brothers looked confused.

The same question lingered in Major Malika's mind, but she quickly realized it.

Because she remembered something. When he was about to set off from Meist County, Renn left the mansion with a wooden box containing the "Essence of the Behemoth".

She had this question at that time, why did Ren bring that with him when he went to Fishing Port Town to take up his post? Could it be that he was going to become a great knight? It's unlikely when you think about it.

But now it seems that he still underestimated Ren.

In the past few days, unexpectedly, Renn had quietly broken through to become a great knight, and indeed he was worthy of being the first place in this canonization assessment.

Faced with Captain Baron's positive judgment, Renn did not deny it, but smiled and said: "I happened to have some insights in the past two days."

Captain Baron couldn't help but laugh when he heard what Ren said.

If you want to become a great knight, there is no chance of you having any insights. It all comes naturally after hard training!

"Baron Wren, I think you are a rare talent in the empire to be able to achieve this level of strength at your age. It's a pity. I just heard from Colonel Malika that you declined the invitation from the empire's South China Sea Fleet."

"However, if I were you, I would also try to join the Empire's 'Sword Bearers' organization. After all, the 'Sword Bearers' are stronger and have a wider coverage than our 'Tide Walkers'."

"Tidewalker?"

Renn looked thoughtful. This was the first time he heard this name.

"Yes, 'Tide Walkers', a special department of the Imperial Navy." At this time, Major Marika introduced with a smile.

"That's it." Renn nodded.

This organization should focus on the security of the empire's waters.

Captain Barron continued: "Baron Wren, I would like to thank you for your help this time, allowing us to complete the mission ahead of schedule."

For them, no matter who kills Warlord, this mission is equivalent to completion.

Renn nodded and asked proactively: "Captain Baron, do you need to take Warrod's body back?"

Renn still recognized the favor that the Fish and Dragon Team immediately rushed to support, so he was not stingy in doing favors to the other party.

Captain Baron laughed, waved his hand, and said: "Since Warlord is dead, his mere corpse does not mean much to us."

"However, Sir Ren can use this to receive a bounty from the Imperial Navy."

"By the way, if you find some items on the other party that may affect the safety of the empire's waters, please ask Baron Lane to contact us as soon as possible. Of course, you can also contact Major Mallika."

"Okay, Captain Baron, as a baron canonized by the empire, this is also my responsibility." Renn nodded, and he would naturally cooperate with this.

Warrod's trophies, including his waist bag and some medicines on his body, were just delivered to the room by Lehman Brothers, but he had not had time to check them.

"Then Baron Lane, let's go back and resume our lives now."

"Captain Barron, have a safe journey."

Captain Baron nodded, stood up and prepared to leave, his majestic body like a moving rock.

The remaining five members of the Ichthyosaurus team were also ready to turn around and leave.

At this time, there was a team member behind Captain Barron. He suddenly turned around and looked at Renne, his expression full of eagerness to try. He just heard him say:

"Your Excellency Baron, I am really curious about how you defeated Warlord. So, please forgive my presumption. I don't know if it is convenient for you now. I would like to have a brief communication with you."

"Baron Renne has just experienced a fierce battle. The request you are making now is not very appropriate."

As soon as the other party finished speaking, Major Mallika's face became solemn, and she immediately helped Ren reject the other party's proposal.

"That's such a pity!" Trevor shrugged and said.

"We are going back soon. If we miss this time, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to have another chance to exchange experiences with Baron Wren."

Ren noticed that when the young man named Trevor proposed to compete with him, Captain Baron's face showed no unpleasantness, but a faint look of expectation.

It seemed that Captain Baron also wanted to see his strength.

As for Renn, he naturally hopes that the more "experience NPCs" come to his door, the better.

Secondly, a very important point is that he also wants to know what the strength of this fish and dragon team under the so-called "Tide Walker", a special department of the Imperial Navy, is?

If he thought that it would be difficult to win against Captain Balon.

So it is naturally a good thing to start with this team member who took the initiative to challenge, to get a glimpse of the leopard, and to understand the strength of the special department of the Imperial Navy.

Renn smiled, turned to Major Marika and said, "Major Marika, it is a rare opportunity to meet the Ichthyosaurus team here."

"I also want to communicate with the elites of the Ichthyosaurus team."

"This" Marika was a little speechless for a moment. She looked at Renn with a pair of beautiful eyes, seeming to ask, 'Sir Renn, are you really sure? ’

Ren nodded towards Marika.

And this young man named Trevor was overjoyed when he heard that Ren agreed and said: "That's great, Sir Ren, there should be an indoor training room nearby, right?"

"Of course, please follow me."

The group immediately arrived at the indoor training room located behind the town administration hall.

Since it involves personnel from the Empire's special departments, for confidentiality reasons, except for the Ichthyosaurus Squadron, Lehman Brothers, Veronica and Marika, all other personnel on site can only leave the training room temporarily.

As Renne and Trevor stood in the center of the training room.

Everyone immediately turned their attention to the two of them with different expressions.

For example, when Veronica saw Ren coming on the stage, her ponytails bounced, her cheeks were slightly flushed, and she looked quite excited.

Next to her, Major Malika frowned slightly.

Although she knew that Ren had killed Warlord, after all, the war had just ended not long ago, and she was worried that Ren's physical strength and energy had not necessarily returned to the best condition.

Moreover, as a naval civilian, she still has a certain understanding of the Navy's special department of 'Tide Walkers'.

The selection standards are extremely high, and those who enter are all the best among the best, and the young man who is playing against Rennes this time is obviously seven or eight years older than Rennes.

With these seven or eight years of training and combat experience, even if Renne ranks first in the canonization assessment of the Münster Province, he may not have much advantage.

Therefore, Marika was still a little nervous and worried at this time.

After Trevor opened a long distance, he raised the silver bow in his hand and said: "Your Excellency Renn, because I am an archer, please forgive me. Before the competition, I need to pull away first." A certain distance.”

Renn nodded and said, "Of course."

This time, he mainly wanted to understand the combat effectiveness of the members of the Fish Dragon Team. If they exploded with all their strength, he was confident that he could defeat the opponent soon, but this did not meet his expectations.

Only by giving the opponent time and allowing him to take action can he have a more comprehensive understanding of the Ichthyosaurus team's combat effectiveness.

Seeing Ren's kind attitude, Trevor also smiled and reminded: "Sir Ren, my arrows may be more powerful, please be careful."

As soon as he finished speaking, Trevor began to chant a spell and perform witchcraft.

At this time, Veronica on the side whispered to Major Malika: "This is the witchcraft 'Swift Wind', which can increase the speed of movement."

Ren's ears twitched slightly, and he immediately understood. At the same time, he smiled faintly at Veronica's actions.

It seemed that Trevor was very familiar with this swift wind, so he recited the spell very quickly. It only took more than a second to cast it.

I saw Trevor wrapping himself in a stream of light cyan air, and his movement speed suddenly increased. Even compared to the movement speed of the great knight Ren, it was still comparable.

The distance that was originally narrowed by Renn gradually became constant.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Sharp arrows were shot at Renn one after another. Renn did not draw out his sword, but just pointed at the tiger with the sharp blade, and knocked away the arrows shot by Trevor.

But under the interference of sharp arrows, the distance between the two people slightly widened again.

At this time, Trevor stood abnormally and silently recited the spell again. The next second, a sharp arrow mixed with a faint white light shot straight at Ren.

Originally, Ren planned to pull out the big sword from behind and directly cut off the opponent's arrows.

But with a slight thought in his mind, he gave up the idea and turned to dodge slightly. He saw the sharp arrow grazing Ren's side and hitting a steel shield hanging on the wall of the training room.

There was a sound of "pop!"

The steel shield was suddenly penetrated with a big hole.

Seeing this power, Renn raised his eyebrows.

He knew that this was the superposition of some kind of witchcraft combined with the archery skills mastered by the opponent.

In terms of power, the power of this level of arrows is comparable to that of a peak knight using his secret skills.

As the battle continued, Ren soon heard the name of the opponent's witchcraft, "Sharp Technique", from the soft conversation between Veronica and Marika.

I saw Trevor's arrows mixed with the witchcraft "sharpness", shooting towards Ren.

Although the arrows shot by the opponent were mixed with sharpness from time to time, they were continuously knocked away by Ren. Even the arrows with sharpness were struck by Ren's sword. Cut directly.

Three minutes passed.

There is still no winner or loser.

This made the other members of the Ichthyosaurus team look at the scene in front of them, their eyes flashing, and their thoughts were different.

However, Captain Baron had a strange look on his face.

Of course he could see that Renne did not use his full strength, because Renne always maintained an almost constant distance from Trevor, as if he was deliberately letting Trevor let go.

At this time, he suddenly said: "Trevor, stop!".

When Trevor heard the captain's words, he immediately stopped, but already sweating profusely, he looked at the captain Baron with a puzzled expression.

After all, the outcome is still undecided.

"Trevor, can't you see? Baron Wren has already reserved his hand."

At this time, several other people moved their eyes back and forth between the two of them. Sure enough, there was not a drop of sweat on Ren's forehead at this moment, but in comparison, Trevor was already sweating profusely.

In addition, after Renne narrowed the distance at the beginning, he basically stayed near the original spot. The footprints on the ground proved this very well.

This made Trevor look at Renn gratefully and said: "Thank you, Mr. Renn, for your advice!"

Because in his opinion, Renne should have deliberately left some face for him, but in fact, Renne had his own plans.

The battle with Trevor made Ren have a vague understanding in his heart.

The opponent is an archer, and the witchcraft performed by the opponent, whether it is the 'Swift Wind' that increases the movement speed or the 'Sharp Technique' that increases the power of arrows, is very suitable for the position of the archer.

To put it simply, the witchcraft used by the other party is closely integrated with each other around him and the extraordinary combat skills he displays.

But looking back at myself, in addition to the sorcery 'high temperature stance', relatively speaking, it can also be connected well with extraordinary combat skills.

Some other witchcraft, such as 'Scorching Touch', are difficult to combine with extraordinary combat skills.

From this perspective, compared to fire witchcraft, perhaps metal witchcraft will be easier to combine with his extraordinary combat skills, thereby improving his combat effectiveness, which is more suitable for his current weapon master (extraordinary) career.

For example, once he learns the sharpness technique, he can use it on a shimmering giant sword or a sharp-edged tiger to improve his combat effectiveness.

Ren glanced at the system prompt:

[Your skill Giant Bear Swordsmanship has been improved, experience value +233]

[Your skill Kadar Boxing has been improved, experience value +348]

[You have experienced a battle, and the weapon master (legendary) experience value +63]

(Note: The above skills and experience have already enjoyed the 30% increase of the exclusive talent ‘Junior Extraordinary Comprehension’.)

[Congratulations, your Weapon Master (Legendary) career level has been improved! 】

Since the Weapon Master (Legendary) was about to be upgraded, after this competition, he was directly upgraded to level 3 (45/500).

This also allowed Renn to gain one attribute point and one skill point again, so that the remaining attribute points reached 6, and the remaining skill points became 2.

At this time, another young man from the Ichthyosaurus team came up with a short staff. The other young man smiled and said to Renn: "Baron Renn, my name is Nathaniel. I saw the wonderful competition between you and Trevor. I also really want to communicate with you.”

"Of course!" Renn nodded immediately and agreed.

After all, once the Ichthyosaurus team returns, there will be no such good opportunities for 'communication'.

"But, Mr. Ren, do you need to rest first?" Although Nataniel felt that Ren should still have some strength left, after all, he had just fought fiercely for several minutes. He did not believe that Ren didn't consume much physical strength. .

Secondly, even if you win, your victory will be greatly compromised.

"No need. My physical strength has always been relatively good, we can start directly." Ren said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Major Mallika's pretty face blushed slightly and she sighed in her heart.

Although she has been busy with civilian work in the Navy and has not yet been married, she has long been familiar with some things and puns.

The girl with twin ponytails is focusing on whether Ren can still win so easily this time. After all, this Nathaniel is a relatively pure third-level wizard apprentice, and his fighting style is more like a wizard.

She was a little worried at this time that Renne didn't have much experience in dealing with this kind of opponent.

He seemed to feel a little embarrassed that his team was constantly fighting against Ren. He just listened to Nataniel introduce himself: "Your Excellency Ren, I am a third-level wizard apprentice. My witchcraft attacks are relatively powerful. I hope Ren... Please don’t force me.”

After thinking about it, Nathaniel turned around enthusiastically and began to perform witchcraft on a dummy wearing iron armor in the distance.

Two seconds later, a ball of light green liquid with a fishy smell was seen heading straight towards the dummy.

"Boo!"

I saw the light green liquid corroding the armor. In just one or two seconds, a big hole was corroded into the heavy armor. It is conceivable that even Ren's water-film steel armor will be damaged if it is corroded. If hit head-on, it will also be severely damaged.

In response to Nathaniel's overture, Renn smiled and nodded, saying: "Thank you for reminding me, I will pay attention to it."

Soon, the battle between the two began.

After Nataniel quickly cast a water film spell on himself, he immediately raised his hand and pointed it at Renn. He saw that the palm of his hand was pointed at Renn, and he silently recited another spell.

At this time, Renn had arrived more than ten meters in front of Nathaniel, but he felt something was wrong.

Suddenly, Ren felt a cold negative energy around him invade his body instantly. This feeling was more like some kind of curse.

Renn suddenly felt weak in his limbs.

Soon, he heard Veronica whisper to Marika from the side: "This is the weakness technique."

Nathaniel, on the other hand, looked happy and flew back quickly, taking something out of his arms.

Although Rennes wanted to get in touch with different types of opponents, he didn't want to lose.

Therefore, Ren planned to add points to try to verify whether he could offset this negative energy.

Just when Ren was about to add some points, suddenly, a member of the Ichthyosaurus team quickly walked up to Captain Barron's ear with a serious face and whispered something.

Captain Baron's expression immediately changed.

It seems that something more important has happened.

Captain Baron suddenly spoke: "Baron Wren, Nathaniel, this is the end of this competition. Now we have an urgent mission and need to set off immediately!"

Upon hearing this, Renn immediately stopped his plan to add points, and Nathaniel on the side also stopped the witchcraft he was performing.

In this case, there is no need for him to use some attribute points here in advance.

Captain Barron nodded to Renne and several others, and quickly led the team away.

Veronica on the side ran forward and said: "Sir Ren, are you okay? This is a curse of weakness. With your physique, it will gradually dissipate in a few minutes."

"I'm fine." Ren nodded and said.

He had already felt the cold negative energy in his body, which was slowly dissipating, and its impact on his body was getting smaller and smaller.

Although the second battle just ended basically abruptly, Renne also discovered his own problem.

That is, his methods of dealing with the enemy are still not diverse enough, especially for opponents who can cast curses, slow spells or weakening witchcraft. Now that he cannot attack the opponent from a distance, he is still very disadvantaged.

After thinking for a moment, Ren decided that he would improve his extraordinary combat skill of 'Blood Fury Archery' in the next few days.

Now he has the talent 'Elementary Extraordinary Comprehension', which can increase his learning speed by 30%.

He believed that he would master combat skills faster than before.
