The wizard starts by trimming the donkey's hooves

After Ren had trekked for more than an hour, he soon found the abandoned mine that was used as a stronghold by the Zalal resistance in the undulating hilly area.

Since Renn had gone through a battle before, although it took a short time, the full burst and the use of the secret skill "Earth Cracking Hammer" twice, the physical consumption was still quite large.

After more than an hour of 'hurry march', my physical condition has now dropped to around 60-70% of what it was at its peak.

Although Renn already knows that there are no powerful people stationed on the other side, there is an old saying in his previous life, "A proud soldier will be defeated." In addition, there is no guarantee whether there will be any sudden personnel transfers on the resistance side.

Therefore, Ren thought for a while and decided to add a little bit of mental attributes to quickly restore his physical condition.

As the remaining attribute points increased from 2 to 1, and the mental power increased from 24 to 25 points, a surging heat was pumped from the heart and spread rapidly to Ren's limbs and bones.

In an instant, Renn felt that his condition had returned to its peak, and the muscle soreness after using the 'triple state' burst had disappeared.

Since the abandoned mine here is the enemy's stronghold throughout Meist County, Renne was quite cautious and carefully explored the area near the entrance of the mine.

Soon, Ren discovered that the opponent had two sentries, one light and one dark, as well as three hidden traps that could be caught accidentally.

Sure enough, the rebels were not the kind of laxly guarded bandits. Some of their military qualities may not be as good as those of the regular army of the empire, but they were not without combat effectiveness. They were roughly above the militia and below the city guard.

So, Ren quietly eliminated both the light and dark sentries. After bypassing the trap, he slowly began to explore into the mine.

After killing two groups of patrols in succession, Renn passed through a dark and damp mine tunnel and arrived at an empty underground hall.

It is said to be a hall. In fact, the height is only about three meters and the area is about two to three hundred square meters. It was most likely the intersection of several mine tunnels. After further excavation and repairs, it took on its current appearance.

Bonfires were lit all around the hall, and about thirty strong men dressed as mercenaries were gathering together in twos and threes. Some were chatting, some were oiling their swords, and some were wiping the shiny barrels of their matchlocks. .

Others gathered around a knight wearing plate armor, listening carefully to something.

When Ren saw the knight in plate armor, his eyes couldn't help but narrowed, and his gaze obviously stayed for a while longer.

It seems that this person should be the leader of the resistance army who ambushed him. The knight who stayed behind has the strength of a senior knight level.

A few seconds later, Renn shifted his gaze from the personnel to the surroundings of the underground hall.

Ren discovered that the underground hall was actually connected to at least four deep tunnels.

From this point of view, Ren knew that he had chosen the right tactic by sneaking in carefully.

Because if he breaks through forcefully, even if he can successfully charge all the way here, even if the resistance personnel in the underground hall are defeated, they will flee in all directions, and many fish that slipped through the net may escape.

After all, it is difficult to guarantee that these four tunnels are not secret passages to the outside world.

In addition, he was only one person, so it was impossible to stop or kill all the dozens of rebels on the spot.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Ren's mind like a bolt of lightning.

I saw Renn gently raising his left hand. Since the chromium iron plate glove had been damaged in the competition with Salem, Renn's palm was bare at the moment, and he focused on the little finger of his left hand.

There is a ring that looks like an emerald, but is actually a ring containing hallucinogenic gas.

Renn hasn't had a chance to use this thing since he last purchased and filled it with poison gas at the Bat Market, but he didn't expect that he would encounter such an excellent occasion for use today.

Renn still remembered that Endri was also used in the Elim Mine at that time.

And the occasion where he was about to use it for the first time was actually in a mine.

Really

Ren couldn't help laughing, and then shook his head slightly.

Unfortunately, Endri is not a hero.

Otherwise, he would have to say, "Heroes see the same thing!" Renxin said.

After sniffing the antidote in advance, Renn gently pressed the pinhead-sized trigger on the side of the emerald ring. With a click, the colorless and odorless poisonous gas was instantly released and spread.

After estimating the time, Renn pulled out the gigantic sword and held it in his hand, and walked forward calmly.

In the underground hall, the strong men closest to the edge suddenly changed their expressions when they saw Ren's sudden appearance, and they shouted angrily:

"Who are you?"

"How did you get in!"

With the scolding of several people, all the resistance members in the underground hall were alerted.

They all raised their heads and focused their attention on Ren.

Facing Ren's sudden appearance as an uninvited guest, these people immediately assumed a fighting stance, but as soon as they got up, they stumbled to the ground!

Everyone’s expressions suddenly changed!

The senior knight who stayed behind also took four or five steps, swayed slightly, stared at Ren with a serious face and said:

"Did you poison me?"

Renn nodded and said, "That's right!"

"Despicable guy, not strong enough, so he uses such despicable methods!"

"go to hell!"

Following the roar, came a powerful and heavy slash from the opponent holding a knight's sword!

As expected of a senior knight, the poison gas tactics from Endri had little effect on the senior knight.

It just reduces the opponent's speed and accuracy.

but

The opponent obviously misunderstood Renn's strength.

He thought that Ren's use of poison was due to his lack of strength.

His own strength is far inferior to Ren's, and this is somewhat affected by the poisonous gas. With this ebb and flow, the strength gap between the two sides becomes even greater!

"clang!"

Two swords clash!

The next second, the sound of a sharp blade cutting into flesh was heard.

"Pfft!"

In just one face-to-face encounter, the opponent's right hand was cut into the crease by Renne, and he was directly lifted up and cut off.

An arm holding a knight's sword flew in the air!

"Pfft!"

The other sword was a sideways step from Ren, which went around the left back of the senior knight, and quickly slashed hard towards the weak part of the opponent's armor behind the knee, directly cutting off one of the opponent's calves. .

"Ah! Who are you?"

"Ah! Why are you attacking us?"

The person in charge of the resistance force left behind suddenly screamed and kept asking questions.

But Renn paid no attention.

It was you who attacked me first.

Then you will naturally have to bear the pain of being bitten by me! Renxin said.

Seeing this scene, the faces of other elite rebels turned ashen!

The boss who stayed behind, a senior knight, was knocked down in just two moves, and he was wailing in a pool of blood.

Their strength is naturally even worse.

In order to survive, many people had begun to get up reluctantly and planned to run towards the surrounding tunnels.

But after being poisoned, they were all like drunkards. They fell down as soon as they got up. After falling, stimulated by the desire to survive, they continued to struggle to get up and fell down again.

After repeating this several times, most of the people could no longer stand up. They looked dazed or frightened, and started talking nonsense.

Obviously, the hallucinogenic gas has begun to attack this group of people rapidly!

Ren looked at the scene in front of him and nodded secretly. The hallucinogenic gas was very effective in dealing with a large number of ordinary people, saving him the embarrassing situation of tigers chasing ducks.

At this moment, except for a few quasi-knights who could barely struggle a few times, everyone else had become meat on the chopping board.

After keeping a few rebels who were obviously leaders alive, Ren killed all the others with one strike of his sword.

Immediately afterwards, Renne began to search everywhere.

After all, this is an organization's stronghold, and some supplies are still very abundant. Pieces of bacon stacked together, piles of cabbage, potatoes, etc. are all food.

In the small room on the side that serves as a weapons warehouse, there are many weapons, such as knight's swords, shields, two-handed swords and several brand-new matchlock guns.

Seemingly thinking of something, Ren, who was planning to check the next room, stopped, turned back to the small room, and picked up a matchlock gun.

Although Renn didn't know much about firearms like matchlocks, during the battle on the Shipwreck, he saw that the pirates needed to light a match before firing normally, and he knew that this was a relatively primitive firearm. arms.

It seems that according to the development history of the previous life, the matchlock was followed by the flintlock?

Renn shook his head slightly, because this was not his focus.

What he just noticed was the barrel of the matchlock gun.

The moment he left, the corner of his eye was attracted by the shiny gun barrel. This kind of craftsmanship seemed very unusual.

It seems to be some kind of stainless steel!

I heard last time that these matchlock guns are from the Eagle Federation.

Sure enough, after Ren looked at the barrel of the gun carefully, he confirmed his guess.

According to the manufacturing process of this gun barrel, the metallurgical level of the Eagle Federation is very high, which can't help but make Ren have a lot of daydreams.

After thinking for a moment, Renn took down all the matchlock guns.

He planned to study it slowly after returning home.

When Ren came to another independent compartment on the side, as soon as he entered the door, he saw several bottles of Bordeaux wine on the table, as well as ruby-colored wine in wooden cups.

He couldn't help but shook his head and sighed:

"Tsk, tsk, the living conditions of the resistance army are really luxurious."

"Eh? Isn't this the emblem of the Crowley family?" Renn glanced at it accidentally and discovered the familiar pattern on the surface of the wooden box containing aged Bordeaux wine - a kite-shaped shield and a rose-like flower. flowers.

Undoubtedly, this is the hallmark of the Crawley family.

This immediately made Ren frown.

Is it possible that the Crowley family has something to do with the Zalal resistance?

wrong!

Renn couldn't help but picture the plump and beautiful figure of Baroness Crowley in his mind.

There is no way that the powerful woman in the Crowley family could be so stupid.

If they were supplying drinks to the rebels, any fool would know that they would have to eliminate their own family crest.

Could it be that someone else purchased it from the Crowley family's shop and then supplied it to the resistance?

Forget it, just make a blind guess, it would be easier to ask directly.

Fortunately, we didn’t kill all these people!

After questioning the leaders again, Ren suddenly realized.

It turned out that these precious Bordeaux wines were robbed along the way by bandits disguised as rebels.

In this case, the aged Bordeaux wine contained in these dozen or so wooden-framed boxes should all be the goods of the Crowley family.

It seems that this time, the Crowley family suffered a lot of losses!

After taking a brief inventory of the supplies in the stronghold, Renn looked at the large pile of supplies in front of him and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

I am only one person. Obviously, no matter how strong I am, I cannot move so many things back to Goldsmith Town.

In addition, it is best to eliminate the traces, that is, to directly blow up the abandoned mine.

The nearly a thousand imperial gold coins that were found must naturally be taken away, and these matchlock guns must also be taken away. As for the aged Bordeaux wine.

Take them all away too.

Who makes himself the guardian knight of the Crowley family!

Ren discovered that one day he would be troubled by too many trophies.

It seems like that's all.

I saw Renn using the original carts in the stronghold to transport the aged Bordeaux wine and some high-value goods to the vicinity of the mine. After covering it up, he marked it.

Then, he returned again, moved several barrels of gunpowder to the middle of the narrow mine tunnel, connected them in series with fuses, and ignited them.

As Renn's figure quickly flew out of the mine, a few seconds later, a dull explosion came from the entrance of the mine, and then, a violent airflow swept up the surrounding fallen leaves and gravel.

After doing all this, Wren began to return to the position where he had concealed his horse.

As the sun sets, mist rises over the entire Shining Gold Town. Under the glow of the sunset, it seems to be covered with a layer of golden gauze.

When Wren returned home, he immediately spotted his sister Peppermint playing with the greyhound Cookie in the front yard.

Since Anna left, my sister Mint has been depressed for a long time.

Fortunately, as 'Cookie' grows up, it has gradually been able to play with Mint.

Thinking of this, Ren couldn't help but think of the Wisdom Potion. Regarding the materials, he had already prepared them at the Nightingale Market in Rosby City. He would take the time to make them by then, which might further improve Cookie's intelligence.

"Brother, it's my brother who's back!" As the sound of horse hooves became clearer, Mint suddenly raised his head, was stunned, and then shouted with joy.

Dinner time.

The Wren family sat around the wooden dining table.

"Ren, you said you are a baron now?"

The wooden spoon in mother Emma's hand fell into the soup plate with a clang, splashing a lot of vegetable soup juice. Her eyes suddenly widened twice as she looked at her son in surprise.

Although she knew that her son was going to take part in the noble canonization assessment, she only had extravagant hopes that if her son could really pass, he would become a noble knight.

How could Emma have imagined that her son could skip two grades in a row and become a baron directly!

Oh my God!

The goddess is on top!

Old Ren's mouth was also wide open, and he looked at his son with an expression of disbelief.

He never thought that one day he would be the father of a baron!

Only the younger sister Mint seemed to be a little confused, but she also fluttered her long eyelashes and stared at her brother, then turned her head to look at her parents.

Judging from her parents' expressions, Mint was certain.

That is my brother Ren, who seems to have done another great thing!
