The wizard starts by trimming the donkey's hooves

yes!

The next second, the originally rich blood-colored energy in the rhombus crystal, like a dam releasing floods, instantly swarmed into Ren's body.

But it seemed that it had been absorbed by the system in a way of 'removing the dross and extracting the essence'. Renn himself did not feel any discomfort, but there were a lot of black and gray things falling from his left hand holding the blood-colored crystal. on the ground.

This absorption and transformation process was completed almost instantly.

【Ding! A total of 1024 points of extraordinary experience points have been converted. Please choose Knight (extraordinary)/Wizard Apprentice (extraordinary) to upgrade. 】

Seeing this, Ren thought for a moment and decided to choose the latter to add points.

The reason is also very simple. He is currently a knight (extraordinary) lv3 (84/500). If he chooses a knight, he can only upgrade one level. However, if he chooses a wizard apprentice (extraordinary) lv1 (0/100), he can upgrade it by three levels. .

In addition, Ren also found that the experience points gained in the battle were automatically added to the Knight (Extraordinary) career panel. I wonder if it was because the Wizard Apprentice (Extraordinary) career panel did not have attack skills?

Or some other reason?

But currently, he is really not worried at all about the speed at which the Knight (Extraordinary) professional level is improving.

On the contrary, it seems that the professional experience of wizard apprentice (extraordinary) can only be improved by practicing basic meditation methods.

After weighing the two items, it is not difficult to make a choice.

Ren thought silently in his mind, ‘Wizard’s Apprentice! ’

In an instant, three consecutive system prompts appeared in front of Ren's eyes:

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

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

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

Although Renn had predicted in advance that his Wizard Apprentice (Extraordinary) career panel might be upgraded to three levels in a row.

But when he really saw this scene, at this moment, he couldn't restrain his inner joy.

I saw Ren clenched his fists tightly and waved them hard twice in mid-air!

This saves at least half a year, or even a year or two.

After calming down the excitement for a while, Renn looked at the wizard apprentice (extraordinary) level on the panel from lv1 to lv4 (124/1000), and couldn't help but reveal a bright smile.

Read on.

I saw a prompt at the bottom of the panel: 3 remaining attribute points, and 4 remaining skill points.

Among them, among the remaining skill points, there is one point that has not been added since the last upgrade.

Looking at the attribute points and skill points in front of him, Ren suddenly felt like he had suddenly stepped into the middle class from the poor.

In the past, every time I added points, I had to think twice, but now it’s different, I have much more money!

but

After thinking about it, Renn did not choose to add points immediately. Instead, he planned to send the things away and then come back and slowly consider how to add points.

After all, if you finally have some 'savings', you can't use them randomly. You still have to plan carefully.

Renn looked at the prismatic crystal that originally had a rich blood color, but now showed a pure transparent color, and couldn't help but have a smirk on his face.

I wonder if Viscount Hamady is willing to convert the spoils into merit points for him when he sees the crystal in front of him.

"Forget it! Let's give him the bone staff as well!"

"After all, I have taken such a big advantage. Giving the opponent a crystal and bone staff can also be regarded as a show of sincerity." Renn thought about it.

"Click!"

Renn installed the transparent prismatic crystal on the bone staff, and then he quickly went downstairs and walked towards the church.

Soon, when Ren returned, he saw that the church's Dean Rudolf and Viscount Hamady were arguing about something.

This made Ren couldn't help but slow down and listen.

"Your Excellency Viscount, as a rule, energy storage crystals are handed over to our church for disposal."

"Priest Rudolf, you also said that it is customary. According to the regulations of the empire, first of all, it belongs to the empire."

"."

Ho! This crystal seems to be a real treasure!

It actually attracted two big shots to compete for it. Unfortunately, this 'energy storage crystal' is now a 'blank crystal'.

Although Ren didn't know why the other party valued this crystal so much, it was obviously for the bloody energy in it.

Renn slightly increased the sound of his footsteps, and Hammadi and Rudolf immediately stopped arguing and turned their heads to look over.

When Renn handed the bone staff to Hammadi, Renn could clearly feel Alonso's eyes twinkling, and although his facial expression tried his best to hide it, there was also a look of uncontrollable joy.

Rudolph glanced at the transparent crystal on the top of the bone staff and then at Ren, with a look of confusion on his face.

Obviously, Rudolph has discovered that this is a 'blank slate crystal'.

"Haha, Renn, yes, that's it!" Viscount Hammadi said with a laugh.

"You're welcome, Lord Viscount."

However, when Hammadi took it, his expression changed the next second and became extremely ugly!

"empty?"

"What's empty?" Ren asked knowingly.

Hammadi stared at Ren and said, "Ren, was this how you looked when you got this 'Sacrificial Rod'?"

"Of course! Lord Viscount." Ren said the lies without blushing and out of breath.

"By the way, it turns out that this bone staff is called the 'Sacrificial Staff'? Lord Viscount, you really know the Black Flame Church."

"The evil cult is extremely harmful to the empire, so I went out of my way to learn more about them." Hamadi coughed slightly and said, knowing he had made a mistake.

It seems that the blood sacrifice ceremony was not successful.

When he was about to succeed, he was interrupted.

What a pity.

In an instant, Hammadi guessed the most likely scenario.

"Lord Viscount, you promised before that you would help me convert the spoils of war into merit points."

"Of course, no problem!" Viscount Hamadi waved his hand.

However, Renn could tell from the slightly twitching corners of the other party's mouth that Hammadi was feeling extremely disappointed in his heart at the moment!

The ugly-looking Viscount Hamady quickly left Goldsmith Town after giving some instructions to Hamilton. Baron Alonso of the county town did not stay too long and returned to the county town first.

The Monsoon and Ocean Goddess Church team headed by Dean Rudolph, after a careful inspection, also began to leave Goldish Town and return to the county to report.

Baroness Crowley and Jenny, after saying hello to Ren, returned to the county with the church's team.

As for the follow-up matters of the cultists' attack on Goldshire, because Hamilton, the Sheriff of Goldshire, has returned, he will naturally have full authority to handle it.

So, Ren and LaGrei walked towards home.

Although Lagret was a little disappointed, after all, the long-awaited trip to Yesong Forest ended abruptly due to the incident involving the cultists.

However, fortunately, it was not that she would not go, but that she would postpone it for a few days, so her slightly disappointed mood was quickly adjusted.

After Ren returned home, he began to think about his own performance in this battle.

To put it simply, it is a ‘review’!

After all, our ancestors said, ‘Learning without thinking will lead to indifference; thinking without learning will lead to peril! ’

This was originally a term used in learning, but the principles are the same.

Only by reflecting carefully after a battle can you make progress.

"We have gone through a total of four battles this time, and the shortcomings exposed are obvious. The fighting methods are too single."

"The big sword is indeed useful in many cases, but when facing enemies with equally strong defenses, it is difficult to cause effective damage, such as when facing the apostle-level enemy."

"Perhaps, the next step can be to slowly practice the hammer lifting technique. The super armor-piercing and shock of the heavy hammer can cause strong damage to enemies with armor." Ren's eyes flickered as he thought.

Use your precious skill points to improve your hammer skills?

of course not!

As long as you use the heavy hammer more in battle, you will naturally improve quickly.

"In addition, it is stacked armor. Although it has the extraordinary characteristic 'Iron Skin lv2', having a strong knight's plate armor can still reduce a lot of damage. Therefore, it is urgent to get a set of thick plate armor!"

"As for attribute points and skill points"

"Perhaps, we should read "Exploration on the Application of Searing Touch in the Forging Field" first."

Soon, Renn took out the three ancient Akkadian books and placed them on his own table.

Since he was not proficient in Akkadian, Renne could only look up and study at the same time.

It took him a long time to read through this ancient book.

After reading it, Ren crossed his arms, rubbed his chin, and paced back and forth in the room, his brows sometimes frowning and sometimes relaxing.

This is an informal book written hundreds of years ago by a third-level wizard apprentice named Lias Johnstone. Before he entered the path of wizard apprenticeship, he used to be a blacksmith, so , he naturally wrote some of his personal whims.

According to the records in the book, 'Scorching Touch' is an introductory witchcraft of the fire system, which requires inducing the release of free fire energy particles in the air.

In addition, fortunately, the book also records the spells and witchcraft models of 'Seering Touch'.

Therefore, for Ren, who happens to be able to sense fire energy particles, this is obviously a good thing.

Moreover, the learning difficulty of 'Seering Touch' is not high. At his current level, he can already start trying to learn it.

However, 'Seering Touch', as described in the book, is a contact witchcraft that requires contact or a very close distance to cause damage.

According to the records in the book, this is also the case for most beginners of witchcraft.

This made Ren hesitate for a moment, even though he currently had four skill points in his hand.

But after all, this was quite different from what he expected. It was not a powerful long-range attack like the black flame fireball he imagined.

In addition, if you want to achieve the effect described in the book, which is directly applied to the forging level, you must have a high degree of control over this witchcraft.

After thinking about it, Renn did not rush to practice the fire witchcraft 'Seering Touch', but started the basic meditation method that needs to be done every day.

Because the book makes it very clear that visualizing ten will runes at one time is the minimum requirement for practicing the 'Scorching Touch'. If you can't even do this, there is no need to even try.

Not long after, Ren was sweating faintly on his forehead, but the next second, he let out a long breath and visualized ten will runes at once, success!

At this time, a system prompt came quietly:

【Congratulations! Your mental attributes are improved! 】

Renn looked happy and looked at the panel, only to see that the mental attribute had increased from 15 points to 16 points.

In this case, if you try to learn the fire witchcraft ‘Scorching Touch’ later, you will be more certain of success!
