The wizard starts by trimming the donkey's hooves

As Ren focused his attention on the notes.

After a few seconds, Renn raised his eyebrows, quite shocked.

I saw the annotation read: Mithril carved plate armor, slightly increases the power of witchcraft.

Um?

There is a common sense here.

You must know that almost all metal knight plate armor will hinder the mobilization of mental power to the surrounding mysterious side energy particles. Depending on the metal material of the plate armor, it will be weakened by about half, 10% or even higher.

Otherwise, are wizards and wizard apprentices fools?

Don't you know that wearing thick knight plate armor will have higher defense instead of choosing thin wizard robes to fight?

Renn had already felt this in previous battles.

For example, the chromium iron sleeve weakened the power of Ren's witchcraft by about half.

However, for Renn, at this stage, the first thing to do is to solve the problem of 'whether' witchcraft exists or not, rather than to pursue the ultimate in the power of a certain witchcraft, so he doesn't care much about it.

Of course, as the path of Wizard Wren further deepens, in the future, it is very likely that this weakening of power will exceed the defensive power of the chromium iron plate armor itself.

Therefore, I just saw the effect of this mithril carved plate armor - 'slightly increasing the power of witchcraft', which subverted Ren's previous inherent knowledge.

After calming down the shock in his heart, Renn carefully examined the production technology and process of this mithril carved plate armor.

First, its main material is mithril ingots.

Of course, Ren had heard about mithril. It was a rare ore that was said to be very tolerant of energy particles of all types.

Among metals, it is the material that weakens the power of witchcraft the least, it seems to be less than half.

However, an obvious problem is that if it is just because Mithril is used as the main production material, it is still not enough to achieve the effect of slightly increasing the power of witchcraft as mentioned in the notes.

Sure enough, with doubts, Ren continued to look down and saw a process at the back. The parchment called it an inscription. The main idea was that it was necessary to carve and outline some mysterious pattern on the surface of the forged mithril plate armor. Line symbols.

At this step, Renn still doesn't understand the principle, but it is obvious that this is the key to the mithril carved plate armor, which can slightly increase the power of witchcraft!

Just as Ren was thinking about this issue, suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed across his mind.

wrong?

this kind of craft

It's obviously not a skill that the forging rough guys can master, but more like some kind of mysterious skill!

Could it be that the late Baron Crowley was not only an armor-smith, but also a senior wizard apprentice?

Otherwise, there is no way to explain why he can combine blacksmithing skills with such complicated inscription skills so well.

Ren thought for a while and said to himself:

"It seems that the late Baron Crowley is not that simple."

"Perhaps, there is an unknown story in the other person's death."

However, Ren quickly shook his head slightly.

At the moment, he has no intention to investigate this matter. Obviously, this matter is likely to involve a lot of his time and energy.

His current focus is on improving his strength to deal with known and unknown challenges.

As for the mithril carved plate armor, it has to be put away temporarily.

Because the meal has to be eaten one bite at a time, and the road has to be walked step by step.

Now he is not even an armor smith, let alone mastering the inscription technique. How can he make this mithril carved plate armor, which is the most difficult to master?

At this stage, Renn plans to make the first volume first, which is the simplest plate armor suit - the spear cavalry suit.

On the one hand, you can use the process of making spear cavalry suits to upgrade the blacksmith professional level to lv5. On the other hand, the third condition for changing to armor caster is that you also need to independently forge ten qualified plate armor parts.

So, after putting away the second volume, Ren opened the first volume again and looked carefully at the production process of the spear cavalry suit.

Before arriving in Goldshire, Renn already knew the entire production process of the Spear Cavalry suit.

The spear cavalry suit has one good thing. It only requires ordinary iron ingots to forge. The materials are easy to collect and the price is relatively cheap. It is suitable for batch production of multiple pieces and is most suitable for gaining experience.

What impressed Renn most was that the breastplate of the spear cavalry plate armor suit was actually a rare 'muscle breastplate'.

It is similar to the kind of chest armor worn by ancient Spartan warriors in previous generations, the kind with the outline of chest and abdominal muscles, but in order to be light, the thickness is much thinner.

At the same time, the craftsmanship is not hammered, but directly poured into the mold. In this case, the quality is naturally not as good as the hard-forged 'muscle breastplate', but in the parchment scrolls, it seems that the positioning of this spear cavalry suit is quantity. An entry-level product produced.

"Hey! The breastplate of the spear cavalry suit is made of two large iron plates, the front and back iron plates, which are cast separately and then combined together."

Suddenly, Ren's eyes lit up.

He just thought of an idea because he remembered a spiritual book he had read before, "Exploration of the Application of Searing Touch in the Forging Field."

"If it is this kind of production process, it seems that I can combine this production process with the witchcraft 'Scorching Touch', thereby greatly improving the production efficiency."

"Perhaps it won't take long for the blacksmith to reach level 5!"

"After my family moves to the county, I can go to the blacksmith shop and try forging directly. If everything goes well, maybe I can raise the blacksmith career level to lv5 in two or three days!"

However, Renn soon thought of another question.

"If the experience reward given by the spear cavalry breastplate is very high, should I push the blacksmith to lv6 before considering switching to armorcaster?"

Ren hesitated, and after thinking for a moment, he shook his head slightly.

"We'll see then! We still don't know how much experience points the system can reward by making a spear cavalry breastplate."

"In addition, even if the experience value rewarded by the system is very rich when the blacksmith is at level 5, it does not mean that it is still very rich at level 6. In the previous skill upgrading process, there was such a situation where the original skills and experience were greatly increased after the professional level was upgraded. A weakening situation.”

Of course, the most important thing was the vacation given to him by Earl Habsburg, which only lasted for one month.

Therefore, he wanted to settle down with his family as soon as possible, and then go to the Gold Coast of Rossby County to find Master Gunther Odinga for further training.

If the transfer to Armor Master is only delayed for two or three days, it shouldn't be a big problem. After all, settling down with the family and handling some chores also require this time.

But if you delay for too long, the gain will outweigh the loss.

After returning home, the first words Ren said when he entered the door startled his mother Emma.

"Mom, we may have to move again, you can pack your things now."

At this moment, Old Ryan was sitting on the deck chair in the backyard, half-squinting his eyes, leisurely basking in the warm winter sun while watching Mint playing with Cookie in the yard, looking like he was enjoying the leisurely family happiness.

But when he overheard Ren's words, Old Ren almost fell off the recliner.

"Ren, what happened?" Mother Emma asked in panic.

Old Ren and his sister Mint also ran over quickly from the backyard.

Only then did Ren realize that because he didn't explain it in detail enough, he had frightened his family.

So, he quickly explained: "It's a good thing. I was granted the title of baron, and the empire arranged a baron mansion for me in the county."

Hearing that this was the case, her mother, Emma, ​​patted her chest, breathed a sigh of relief, and said angrily: "Really, I can't explain things more clearly."

After thinking about it, her mother Emma asked reluctantly: "Well, Ren, can we not move? We live here very well and we are quite satisfied. And we are all familiar with the neighbors. What if Went to the county seat."

Old Renn also nodded and agreed: "Yes, Renn, we live here very well, and we are familiar with the neighborhood. If we go to the county town, we won't know anyone around us."

In the eyes of old Ren, the big house he lives in now is the living conditions he once dreamed of.

He is really satisfied to be able to live here now.

"This." Renn looked thoughtful.

Of course he could understand his parents' concerns, but if the family continued to live in Goldshire, it would be a big problem in terms of safety.

So, Ren quickly shook his head and said: "I'm afraid not. Since the new mansion is in the noble area of ​​the county, safety will be better. If it is in Gold Shine Town, it will be much more dangerous."

"But brother, if you are here, there should be no problem with safety, right?" My sister looked at Ren with bright eyes.

She has always had confidence in her brother's strength.

Ren touched his sister's silky hair and said, "Of course, but my brother will soon go on a long trip to improve his strength. He will probably be away for about a month."

"So, Mint, you don't want your brother to worry about your safety from afar."

I heard the words ‘increase strength’.

Mother Emma and Sr. Ryan looked at each other.

Of course, the two of them knew that this was a major matter related to their son's future. They immediately understood that it was not a question of whether they wanted to move or not, but that the whole family had to move to the county town so that Ren could feel at ease when he was away from home.

"Okay, let's pack our things right away!" Old Ren said firmly.

Ren looked at his father and nodded slightly.

It seems that when it comes to such big things, men are more decisive than women.

"Ren, I'll go pack it now." Mother Emma also nodded, turned and walked to the room, ready to pack things.

"Mom, just bring some necessities. In the new mansion, beds, bedding and even clothes have been prepared by someone."

"By the way, there are several servants and a team of guards who have also moved in to clean and protect the place." Ren warned.

Ren's words immediately caused his mother, Emma, ​​who had just turned around to leave, to freeze in place.

As for Old Ren and his younger sister, Mint, their eyes suddenly widened when they looked at Ren, their mouths slightly opened, with a surprised expression of 'What did you just say?'.

Before, they had only heard from Ren that he had become a baron.

But he had never thought so thoroughly about the impact that Renne might have on all aspects of their lives after becoming a baron.

What they could think of before was that they could eat better, live better, and maybe ride a carriage when traveling, but that was all.

This time, they only reacted when they heard Ren say "servant", "guard" and other words.

It turns out that my life will soon be completely different from before!

"Brother, is there someone I can play with?" Mint was the first to break the silence and said slightly happily.

"Of course." Ren nodded.

Early the next morning, after loading valuables into the Crowley family's carriage, the Wren family set out for the county town.

As for other items, including the new house in Goldsmith Town that had only been lived in for a month, Renn entrusted the captain of the night watchman, the little Mateo, to help handle the sale.

Not long after, the Lane family arrived at the door of the new mansion in a carriage.

When her mother, Emma, ​​got off the carriage, she saw two rows of people standing neatly on both sides of the mansion's gate. One row was male and female servants in uniform, and the other row was fully armed guards. She was suddenly stunned.

When the servants and guards saw the Wren family getting off the carriage, they immediately shouted respectfully:

"Good day, Lord Baron Wren!"

"Madam, miss, good day!"

The young Mint clutched the corner of his brother Ren's clothes tightly, looking quite nervous.

But soon, she poked her little head out from behind Ren, curiously looking around and at the group of strangers calling her Miss.

At this moment, Old Ren and Emma's heads were still buzzing.

They had imagined this scene before, but the protagonist was their son, Renn. They had imagined that after their son became successful, he would become a noble knight and enjoy the respect of the people.

But what they didn't expect was that one day, they would be treated with such respect.

Renn waved to the male servants and said, "Come here and take down the things. Everyone else will perform their duties."

"As you command! Lord Baron!"

Immediately, the two rows of people started to move. The guards continued to abide by their duties, while three male servants came behind the carriage to help carry the luggage.

The maids diligently led the way.

"Ren, it's so big here," mother Emma looked around curiously as she walked.

This new mansion is at least ten blocks away from the new house in Shining Gold Town.

She found that although she had never seen the decoration and style here, it revealed a kind of low-key luxury, and she liked it everywhere.

At this time, a radiant beauty and a beautiful aristocratic girl walked out of the villa. It was Jennifer and Jane, Baroness Crowley.

"Father, mother, this is Baroness Crowley, and this Miss Jenny, I think you have already met." Ren introduced with a smile.

Old Ren and his mother Emma trembled when they heard that this was the noble Baroness. They were a little at a loss. For a while, they didn't know how to call this noble lady Jennifer.

And Jennifer, a beautiful woman who is very observant, will naturally not let this embarrassing situation happen.

She walked forward with a smile, took the hand of Renne's mother Emma in a familiar manner, and said in a very down-to-earth manner: "Sister Emma, ​​just call me Jennifer. I am now also the housekeeper of Baron Renne's mansion." job."

"So, if you two need anything, you can talk to me. By the way, how about I take you two to visit the new mansion now?"

The beautiful woman's kind expression and warm words made Emma feel less nervous all of a sudden.

However, she and Old Renn immediately turned to look at Renn, their eyes full of questioning, as if they were asking, 'Is such a noble and beautiful Baroness actually my housekeeper? ''May I? ’.

Renn nodded to the two of them and said with a smile: "Father, mother, let Miss Jenny take you around. I have something to do with Baroness Crowley."

As soon as these words came out, the beautiful woman's face turned slightly red.

She thought Ren wanted to be with her again.

But the next second, after hearing what Ren said, she realized that she had misunderstood.

"Madam, I need to use the Crowley family's blacksmith shop as soon as possible. Well, maybe I need some cooperation from the blacksmith shop." Renn turned to the beautiful woman and said.

"Of course, Baron Wren, how about I take you there now?" Since there were others present, the beautiful woman said very respectfully and formally.

Of course, Ren noticed the beautiful woman's charming look, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. He said to himself, Madam, I want to go to forge a serious iron, not that iron.

However, naturally you can't say it so directly.

Just listen to Ren say: "The blacksmith shop is not a place where a noble lady should stay. However, madam can take me there first and introduce the person in charge of the blacksmith shop. Perhaps, I need their help. busy."

"After that, you can come back first. There are a lot of things going on here in the new mansion. In addition, my parents may need Mrs. Xinxin to accompany them."

After one hour.

Crowley family blacksmith shop, a separate smelting room.

After a brief introduction, Jennifer had returned first, while Ren asked the blacksmith shop to prepare an empty room, clay molds and a large number of iron ingots for him.

Wren was going to try and start making a spear cavalry cuirass.

As for choosing a large and heavy breastplate instead of other smaller knight plate armor parts such as wrist guards, etc., that is because the breastplate is the only part that does not require too much beating process.

In other words, if Ren's witchcraft 'Scorching Touch' can be successfully combined with the forging of breastplates, then he can successfully make a pair of spear cavalry breastplates in a short period of time and gain a valuable career. Experience.

I saw seven or eight red-hot iron ingots placed in the blacksmith's furnace.

And Ren raised his hands, about thirty or forty centimeters away from the blacksmith's furnace, holding them in the air.

Immediately, he began to chant a spell softly.

Just over two seconds later, a crimson light suddenly appeared in front of Ren's palm.

Since Renn's mental power has reached 25 points at this time, the power of the witchcraft 'Scorching Touch' has also been further enhanced.

Ren can clearly feel that the free flame energy particles around him are quickly gathering in front of his palm.

In addition, he was sure that now he no longer needed the auxiliary heating of the blacksmith furnace, but relied solely on the witchcraft's searing touch' to melt ordinary iron ingots with a melting point of around 1500°.

As Ren's mental power continued to be output, the flames in the already burning blacksmith furnace suddenly jumped up, and the temperature of the furnace increased rapidly!

The seven or eight iron ingots began to gradually brighten and soften at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then slowly melted like candles.

A few minutes later, Ren opened a small gate and poured the hot molten iron from the blacksmith's furnace into the clay mold.

After it cooled down, Ren picked up the blacksmith's hammer and started hammering it, trimming some rough edges. Finally, he spliced ​​the two front and rear iron pieces together to form a complete 'muscle breastplate'.

At this time, the system prompt appears:

[You have carried out the forging work of the spear cavalry breastplate, and the related understanding has been improved! 】

[You have learned a new skill - breastplate forging]

[Your skill breastplate forging has been improved, experience value +33]

[You focus on the forging of spear cavalry breastplates, and the blacksmith professional experience value +32]

hiss!

This experience value! Such efficiency!

The application of witchcraft in forging is so terrifying!

Crucially, this can further speed up the process.

Renn has already thought of a way.

After he estimated the mental energy consumed by the witchcraft's searing touch, he quickly asked everyone in the blacksmith shop to help make seven or eight identical clay molds.

I saw that Ren used the witchcraft's searing touch' again and again, continuously smelting and pouring eight pairs of clay molds, and after cooling, he hammered and spliced ​​them.

At this time, the system almost refreshed the screen with a prompt:

[Your skill breastplate forging has been improved, experience value +33]

[You focus on the forging of spear cavalry breastplates, and the blacksmith professional experience value +32]

[Your skill breastplate forging is improved, experience value +30]

[You focus on the forging of spear cavalry breastplates, and the blacksmith professional experience value +31]

Except, after returning home at noon and having lunch with Jennifer, Jenny and their family, Renn dived into the blacksmith shop!

Finally, when the bright moonlight illuminated the room, a wonderful system prompt appeared:

[Congratulations, your blacksmith career level has improved! 】

As the blacksmith career level was upgraded to lv5, Renn once again gained one attribute point and one skill point.

At this point, the remaining attribute points on the system panel have reached 2, and the remaining skill points have reached 6, the highest level in history.

After thinking for a moment, Renn made another forging of the spear cavalry breastplate.

This time, he only gained 5 points of experience in the blacksmith professional level. Obviously, after the blacksmith was promoted to level 5, the professional experience gained from making the spear cavalry breastplate was greatly reduced.

So, there was no need to hesitate, Ren decided to start changing jobs immediately!

[The prerequisites for a blacksmith to be promoted to an armor caster are: 1. Blacksmith level 5 or above; 2. Strength above 12 points and constitution above 12 points; 3. Independently forge ten qualified plate armor components! 4. The current conditions for knowledge related to armor casting are met! Yes/No to transfer to Armor Master? 】

[Note: After switching to Armor Master, the original Blacksmith panel will be integrated into the new Armor Master career panel, and the core skills of the original Blacksmith will be retained. 】

If the core skills can be retained, there will be no problem.

After watching it again, Renn chose yes without hesitation!

【Ding! Successfully transferred to Armor Master! Strength +2, Constitution +2! Obtain the core skill of the Armor Caster: Armor Casting Specialization lv1. 】

Huh! There are actually new core skills!

Renn immediately looked happy!

Because every appearance of core skills can almost bring him some kind of immediate improvement in strength.

I just don’t know if it will still be like this this time.
