The wizard starts by trimming the donkey's hooves

"Uh, let me tell you, LaGrei has left Goldshire and returned to the Howling Tundra." Ren said again.

Suddenly, the atmosphere at the dinner table stiffened, and mother Emma said quietly:

"Ren, could it be that you have done something sorry for me?"

These words immediately made Ren's heart thump.

"Otherwise, why would she leave without even saying hello to us? Usually when Lagret sees me, she always greets me with a smile and calls Aunt Emma."

Emma, ​​the mother, thought for a moment, looked at Renn suspiciously, and added.

This made Renn don't know how to explain it for a while, but he definitely couldn't admit this kind of thing.

"How is this possible? Maybe Lagret was too sad when she didn't want to say goodbye."

Before Ren finished speaking, Anna on the side looked at Ren with a pair of big bright eyes.

Suddenly, an inexplicable feeling of guilt arose in Renn's heart.

"Then why did Lagret talk to you alone? Isn't it sad to say goodbye to you?" Anna whispered.

This once again focused the whole family's attention on Ren!

For a moment, Renn felt at a loss for words.

After finishing breakfast quickly, Renn went upstairs to the utility room on the second floor.

According to the previous agreement with Jenny, it is estimated that a carriage from the Crowley family will come to pick him up later.

Before that, Ren could just try to see how many will runes he could visualize at once.

Because after yesterday's battle in Yege Forest, Renn once again received a 3-point improvement in mental attributes, bringing his mental strength to 23 points. Therefore, compared with the previous 20-point mental strength, it was considered a great improvement.

Renn remembered very clearly that the last time he had just transferred to the beast tamer profession, that is, when his spiritual attribute reached 20 points, he was able to visualize and complete sixteen will runes at one time, and entered the popular sense as a 'second-level wizard apprentice'. '.

Therefore, Ren is also very clear that even with 23 points of spirit, it is impossible to directly visualize all twenty-four will runes of the successful basic meditation method, thereby reaching the level of 'third-level wizard apprentice'.

However, when a person sees that the gap between himself and his goal is getting smaller and smaller, or that he is getting closer and closer to his goal, the motivation to work hard will become very strong!

One minute later.

Ren opened his eyes happily.

This time, he directly visualized twenty will runes and was getting closer to the final goal of twenty-four will runes.

Don't forget, Renne still has three free attribute points.

However, Renn thought for a while and did not choose to continue adding points to his mental attributes now.

After all, the special effect of 'recover after adding points', if used properly in battle, is no less than a killer move.

This was fully verified again in the battle with the flesh and blood tree spirit!

Therefore, it would be a better choice to wait until the next battle to add more points.

The carriage hadn't arrived yet, so Ren planned to test the changes in the power of witchcraft after his spiritual power was improved.

Since the wooden table was blackened last time, Ren specially brought back a fire-resistant clay mold from the blacksmith shop a few days ago. The mold was black and gray and shaped like a large beaker.

Renn placed a small piece of the hardened fine gold fragment left over from last time into the clay mold, and then he began to use the witchcraft 'Scorching Touch'.

When a low spell chant sounded, the hardened fine gold fragments located in front of Ren's palm began to heat up rapidly. After a few seconds, the hardened fine gold fragments began to gradually turn red and smoke.

With Ren's continuous guidance and continuous output of mental power, in about ten seconds, the hardened fine gold fragments completely turned into liquid!

Seeing this scene, Renn couldn't help but smile.

The witchcraft 'Scorching Touch' he used before, after about ten seconds of maintenance and guidance, the ultimate temperature that could be reached was about 1,400 to 5,000 degrees.

Now, this extreme temperature should have reached about two thousand degrees.

Because the melting point of hardened fine gold fragments is around two thousand degrees.

I remember that the last time Renn was smelting hardened adamantine fragments in the blacksmith shop, he had to use the blacksmith furnace combined with the witchcraft 'Scorching Touch' to successfully smelt them.

But now, just relying on the witchcraft ‘Scorching Touch’ is enough.

The increase in the power of this kind of witchcraft is obvious. As the spiritual power increases, the tide rises and lifts all boats!

However, Ren was also keenly aware of one thing, that is, with the growth of mental power, the year-on-year increase in power is not linear.

To put it simply, at the beginning, assuming that every time the mental power increases a little, the limit temperature of the witchcraft's searing touch' will increase by one hundred degrees. But slowly, as the mental power increases a little, the temperature of the witchcraft's searing touch' will increase. The temperature increased to eighty degrees or even seventy degrees.

This trend of decreasing growth is slow, but it does exist.

Ren frowned slightly and thought for a while, thinking that this might be due to some reason of the witchcraft model itself.

From this perspective, it means that in the future, he will need to further search for more advanced witchcraft to learn.

To be precise, it is the best choice to choose a witchcraft that suits his current level of strength to learn.

But soon, Renn touched his nose and smiled to himself.

Now he is a "poor peasant" in terms of the number of witchcraft, so he is not qualified to be picky. Even though he is the fire element with the highest affinity, he has only mastered two witchcraft in total.

The witchcraft 'Seering Touch' is an entry-level contact witchcraft. Although it is powerful, it has many limitations in actual combat.

For example, in the battle between the flesh-and-blood tree spirit, he relied on the witchcraft scroll "The Extremely Cold Wind" to find the opportunity to release it.

In addition, the sorcery ‘Seering Touch’ requires continuous guidance to maximize damage.

In comparison, it is much easier to release and take effect of the witchcraft'high temperature force field'.

Because once released successfully, the sorcery 'high temperature force field' can generate a high temperature force field within a certain range around Renn and last for about one minute.

Just when Ren wanted to test the power changes of the sorcery 'high temperature force field', he heard the sound of 'tapping' horse hooves.

Renn looked down from the window of the utility room on the second floor and saw that the Crawley family carriage with the rose and kite-shaped coat of arms was slowly arriving at the door of his house.

After packing his things for a while, Ren went downstairs.

As soon as they reached the carriage, a servant quickly opened the carriage compartment. Two beautiful girls wearing cashmere dresses and large light-colored mink shawls quickly stepped out of the carriage. It was Jenny and her best friend. Agatha.

The first time I saw Ren, the beautiful eyes of the two noble ladies lit up immediately.

"Sir Ren, I haven't seen you for a few days, you are becoming more and more manly!" Jenny couldn't help but praise.

"Thank you!" Hearing the girl's praise, Ren was naturally in a good mood.

Manly?

All right

However, in Renn's view, this should be an increase in his charm caused by the improvement of his mental power.

"By the way, Sir Ren, this is my best friend Agatha, do you remember it?" Jenny blinked and introduced.

"Of course, beautiful Miss Agatha Wiggins, of course I remember, hello!" Renn greeted with a smile.

"Hello, Sir Ren." Agatha's pretty face with some freckles blushed slightly, and she gave a ladylike courtesy to Ren.

Although the Miss Agatha in front of her has some small freckles on her nose, this does not affect her beauty. Instead, she has a youthful aura.

"Sir Ren, shall we set off now? My father is not here today, so you can stay in the library for a while." Agatha said proactively.

"Okay, thank you, Miss Agatha." Although Ren felt it was a bit strange to hear Agatha say this, as if a young man and woman were having an affair behind their parents' back, but after all, they had good intentions.

Moreover, Ren is also looking forward to seeing if he can gain something from the Wiggins family library, so naturally he won't care about these details.

The three of them immediately got into the carriage and headed to the Wiggins family where Agatha lived.

After entering the carriage, Agatha took off her mink shawl, revealing her white shoulders and the girl's fully grown curves, looking youthful and charming.

"Sir Ren, Jenny has been mentioning and talking about you these past few days."

"Agatha, don't talk nonsense in front of Lord Ren."

Jenny's pretty face blushed, and she immediately covered Agatha's red lips.

Agatha, on the other hand, quickly 'counterattacked' and tickled Jenny's crotch. Soon, the two beautiful girls were laughing and playing around.

Ren looked at this scene, smiled softly, shook his head slightly, and did not speak.

A few minutes ago, just as Ren was going downstairs, a squirrel quickly jumped down from the branch and slipped into Ren's bedroom through the half-open window.

After some searching, the squirrel's big eyes revealed a very human expression of doubt.

Because it didn't find the dark mother tree seed it was looking for, and it didn't even feel its breath.

The squirrel is naturally transformed into a black-haired elf.

It showed a thoughtful expression and recalled the process of following him along the way, including watching Ren go to the Sheriff's office.

As for last night, it came to visit almost every few minutes.

Therefore, it is very sure that if the seeds of the Dark Mother Tree were not hidden by the young knight, then they must be carried with them!

After understanding this, the squirrel quickly planned to leave.

But the next second, it froze, and saw the bedroom door quietly opened. A human girl wearing a light gray layered tunic was looking at it curiously with her bright eyes wide open.

And its gaze was fixed on the human girl's chest, the wooden amulet it was so familiar with!

Anna just heard the rustling movement from Ren's room, which was quite strange, so she opened the door to check, and unexpectedly saw such a cute squirrel.

Judging from the clever way it rummaged through boxes and cabinets, it must be looking for food.

"Such a cute little guy, are you hungry? There's nothing good to eat here in Rennes. Come on, come to my place." Anna squatted down and said softly, and spread her hands towards the squirrel, as if thinking. The gesture of hugging each other.

The squirrel was stunned for a moment, but soon, it turned around and ran towards the window, disappearing from Anna's sight.

This makes Anna a little disappointed!

The squirrel just gave her a particularly kind feeling, but unfortunately it ran away.

The squirrel transformed by the black-haired elf was jumping quickly along the street trees on the roadside, chasing Ren's carriage.

The black-haired elf didn't expect it at all just now. Her original plan was to find the dark elf mother tree seeds first, and then look for the talisman, but she didn't expect the two things to be so close to each other.

Moreover, she sensed a special blood connection from the human girl.

In an instant, she figured out something.

However, the top priority now is to catch up with the young knight named "Ren?"

Since the other party carried the seeds with them, they were probably going to trade them.

She will come back as soon as this matter is taken care of.

——

As the carriage gradually left Goldsmith Town and was walking on the suburban road, suddenly, Renn keenly heard the driver in charge of driving the carriage outside the carriage, muttering in slight surprise:

"This weather is really weird. It was clearly sunny in the morning, but why did it start to fog not long after it passed?"

The word "fog" immediately aroused Ren's alert. After all, whether it was the thick fog when the Iron Maiden doll appeared last time or the "black mist" witchcraft performed by Adams, it was all related to "fog".

So, Ren turned his head and looked outside through the car window.

Sure enough, there seemed to be a lot of fog rising from the avenue along the road. It was dense in some places and relatively thin in other places. In this case, it looked very much like a cloud of fog.

The carriage soon drove into a thicker fog, and the visibility suddenly dropped from tens of meters to a few meters.

The coachman made a sound, and the carriage slowed down obviously.

But Ren suddenly felt a trance in his mind, as if his head suddenly became dizzy when encountering a big wave on a boat. The next second, he felt that the surroundings were quiet.

The clear chatter between the two women that was originally in my ears was suddenly no longer audible.

When Ren was confused, he immediately shifted his gaze from the window to the car. In an instant, Ren's pupils shrank and he was shocked!

Because, he discovered that he was the only one left in the carriage at this moment, while Jenny and Agatha had disappeared without a trace.

This weird scene made all the hair on Ren's body stand on his head.

With his peak knight strength, it would be impossible for even a great knight to abduct two women directly under his nose.

Instantly, Renn remembered Adams who controlled the black mist.

Obviously, the only ones who can do this are wizards or other mysterious professions.

Ren reached his hand behind his back, grasped the hilt of the big sword, and was on guard. Although he was wondering why his level 3 'danger perception' did not give warning this time.

Soon, Ren could feel the carriage gradually coming to a stop.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door outside the carriage.

"Dong dong dong!"

Ren was immediately startled and tightened his grip on the sword hilt.

The expected attack did not happen. Instead, this time the 'enemy' knocked on the door politely. But soon, Renne realized that it might not necessarily be the 'enemy'.

After thinking about it, Ren opened the carriage door.

I saw a tall, slender woman wearing a gray robe and a hood standing a few meters away from the carriage. Judging from the hair exposed from the other person's hood, it turned out to be a rare black color.

The next second, seemingly because he saw Ren stepping out of the carriage, the other person took off his hood, revealing a beautiful female face.

The pair of pointed ears unique to female elves instantly caught Ren's attention.

Female elf?

Ren's eyes suddenly widened, and his figure froze for two seconds after getting off the carriage.

The black-haired elf looked at Ren with a pair of smart eyes with long eyelashes, and then said: "Young man, please don't worry about your two friends."

"Now we are in a foggy dreamland. They are in a deep sleep at the moment. There is no danger."

"I came here this time in the hope that you can give me the seeds of the Dark Mother Tree. It is too dangerous to keep them in human hands."

"Of course, I will give you some compensation."

Ren was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted and said: "Dark Mother Tree Seed? Are you talking about the light golden tree?"

The beautiful eyes of the black-haired elf flashed with joy, as if to say, 'Sure enough, I am here with you.'

"That's right! That's it."

"Well" This is a bit difficult for Ren.

He can't say that this thing has been absorbed by his panel system, right?

It also turned into an excellent effect of +1 for all attributes.

"I did see the small pale golden tree, but it disappeared shortly after it was in my hands!" Ren thought for a while and decided to 'tell the truth'.

After all, it is a fact that he was absorbed into the system, and what he said, disappeared in his hands, is also a fact.

The black-haired elf's thin eyebrows furrowed, his expression clearly showing a trace of displeasure, and he said, "How is this possible?"

"Really!" Ren said, spreading his hands.

"If you don't believe it, Ms. Elf, you can come over and search."

The black-haired elf looked at Ren again and said, "Young man, I saw you release the witchcraft scroll that day. It was a very smart move. Obviously, you are no stranger to witchcraft."

"I have a natural witchcraft scroll 'Bloom of Life' here to exchange for the Dark Mother Tree seeds in your hand."

"Ms. Elf, although I really want to get the witchcraft scroll in your hand, the seeds of the Dark Mother Tree are really not in my hands." Ren said, looking at the black-haired elf seriously.

"Um?"

Perhaps it was because Ren's expression was too sincere when he spoke. Of course, it might also be because the black-haired elf could use some mysterious means to detect whether a person was lying.

The black-haired elf looked confused at first, then slowly stepped forward, came to Ren's side, walked around Ren, and at the same time, his small nose slightly closed.

The black-haired elf nodded in confusion and said: "I really can't feel the breath of the dark mother tree seeds anymore. Could it be said that it has really disappeared?"

"Um, is it possible that its energy has been exhausted, or that it was injured by the power of witchcraft?" While smelling the good smell of the black-haired elf, like the fragrance of grass and trees, Ren tried. Exposed this matter.

"The former is not possible, and the latter, although not very likely, seems to be the only reasonable explanation." The black-haired elf thought for a moment and nodded.

It can be regarded as accepting the explanation given by Ren.

"Young man, now that the seeds of the Dark Mother Tree have been destroyed, it's the best. This is the witchcraft scroll 'Bloom of Life' I promised you. Thank you for your honest answer."

With that said, the black-haired elf handed Ren a witchcraft scroll.

"Thank you, Ms. Elf." Ren bowed slightly and took the witchcraft scroll. As soon as he took it, he was slightly surprised.

Because the material of this witchcraft scroll is rather strange, it is different from the witchcraft scrolls he has come into contact with before.

Judging from the touch, the scroll seems to be made of the leaves of some kind of big tree, and exudes a faint natural atmosphere, unlike ordinary witchcraft scrolls, which mainly use animal skins.

Just when Ren raised his head and planned to ask about the specific effect of this witchcraft scroll 'Life Bloom', he was shocked to find that the black-haired elf had disappeared.

Ren thought for a moment, then put the witchcraft scroll away and put it in his pocket.

After that, he returned to the carriage and began to think about what had just happened.

Suddenly, that slight feeling of dizziness appeared again. Soon, Ren found that the fog outside the window quickly dissipated, and Jenny and Agatha also appeared in the carriage.

The two of them were leaning sideways against each other, soundly asleep.

At this time, the carriage began to move forward slowly again. The driver seemed to have woken up, but he did not realize that he had fallen into a deep sleep just now.

Immediately afterwards, the long eyelashes of the two women trembled slightly, and the eyeballs under the eyelids moved rapidly. Soon, the two of them woke up almost at the same time.

"Hey, Sir Ren, were we two asleep just now?"

"Yes." Ren nodded, and at the same time, he slightly touched the witchcraft scroll in his arms with his right hand.

Fortunately, the witchcraft scroll was still there, which meant that what he had just experienced was not a dream. Renxin said.

"This is so strange. I obviously slept very well last night." Jenny was a little confused.

"I actually fell asleep in front of Lord Ren. It's so rude of me." Agatha also looked confused.

Renn smiled slightly and said: "Maybe the driver's skills are too good and the carriage is too stable, so you all fell asleep."

Although he said this, in fact, Ren was quite surprised at the magic of the dream-like witchcraft performed by the black-haired elf. He seemed to be able to freely control the dreams of different people within the scope of the witchcraft.

After a while, more pedestrians and carriages came and went on the avenue, and the familiar tall black and gray city walls also appeared in Ren's sight.

The county town has arrived.

This is Wren's second visit to the county.

Just like last time, the carriage entered the city and continued driving for about half an hour before arriving at the door of a luxurious mansion with a garden and stopped.

As the carriage slowly stopped, Agatha smiled slightly and said, "Here we are, Sir Ren, this is my home."
