In the history of the Empire, there is no shortage of precedents for Holy Soul wizards to die outside the Wizard's Tower. ，

Every time it happens, it is a big event that shocks the whole country.

Wren didn't know much about why Duke Silverstar was the target of Shadow Blade.

Shadowblade believes in Lohi, the evil god who is the sworn enemy of the goddess of magic, Vejestria, who is shouted at like a street rat in the Empire, and his followers have no place in the Empire.

If you can kill the Duke of Silver Star through a conspiracy and set off chaos, you will definitely be able to please Loshi greatly.

This seems to be a plausible reason.

Wren secretly guessed, not sure.

The Holy Soul Wizard is the most powerful spellcaster in the world, and even if he leaves the Wizard Tower, it is not so easy to kill.

He was skeptical that the Shadow Blade Slayer had such strength.

Wren looked at the Director Ferrion, the legendary swordsman who was still thinking about it, wondering if he knew anything about the Shadow Blade, or if he had other information.

A gate to the abyss is enough to arouse the vigilance of the ruling class of Longshande.

Wren thought about it, but decided to remain silent.

He had no way to explain his own affairs and why he knew about the existence of the Shadow Blade Slayer, which had too much to do with his own secrets.

"I'll go and see the Duke at once. Felion said, patting Wren on the shoulder: "This time you have made a great contribution to saving Longshand, Your Excellency the Duke will not be stingy with awards, go back and recuperate, and wait for my good news." ”

"Thank you, Director. Wren responded.

"Davenlach, I'm going to trouble you a little more here, dispose of all the demon's corpses, and don't let the evil energy pollute the river. Felion continued to command.

Davenlah said, "Yes, Director, I know what to do. ”

With that, Felion got into the car and left immediately.

It was okay for Wren to stay, he had just gone through a battle, and Davenrah was too embarrassed to involve him in disposing of the demon's corpse, so he let him go first.

Back at Vigo Manor, Viola hadn't returned just over half of the afternoon.

After Wren washed up, he changed into fresh and clean clothes and lay down on the bed to rest.

In fact, he is not tired at all, his condition is better than ever, and he has reached an unprecedented peak in both physical strength and spirit.

Lying down for a while, it was really boring, and Wren entered the martial arts training ground.

He needs to familiarize himself with his current strength.

This time, I absorbed I don't know how many demon souls, and the power was filled several times, and most of them were used to strengthen the elements, although I was still a second-level wizard, but my strength had improved by leaps and bounds, which was equivalent to more than even rising to SN.

Increases Iron Body by one level.

Strength enhancement level 1.

The Dragon Power Technique has also been upgraded from the first ring to the second ring.

After consuming so much power, there is still more than 0 power, and it is not far from the next soul ascension.

After training in the martial arts training ground for more than an hour, Wren had a general idea of his strength.

The most significant improvement is in strength.

Before today, he could lift a weight of about 4,600 pounds to strengthen his "strength" into a rare element, and after reaching the fourth level, it suddenly skyrocketed to more than 7,500 pounds, increasing his strength by nearly 3,000 pounds!

If you bless the two-ring dragon power technique, it will directly break through 10,000 pounds!

Ten thousand pounds.

Wren himself was taken aback, and changed to the weight unit of his previous life, which was roughly equivalent to the strength of ten thousand catties, and was able to lift something weighing five tons!

The strength has become stronger, and the defense has become stronger.

The Body of Steel is a supernatural element, and strengthening it consumes a full 200 blocks of power, enough to upgrade the wizard level twice, which shows how difficult it is to improve.

However, the second-level Iron Body is definitely worth the investment.

Wren experimented with himself, and even with his strength, holding a sharp blade sword, it would be difficult for him to inflict damage on himself after the Iron Body was activated. ，

He slashed wildly at his arm, clanging a few times, sparks splashing, and in a few strokes the blade was filled with gaps.

After slashing a dozen swords, the long sword used for the test broke in two.

Wren himself was dumbfounded, and really saw what it means to be invulnerable!

But the body of steel is not completely invincible, and after he blessed himself with the dragon power technique, he could still feel the pain when he smashed a war hammer on his leg.

If you bombard with all your might, you are likely to be injured.

Wren didn't try again, anyway, the spear and shield are their own, and there is no need to distinguish between high and low.

He looked at the 0 battery level in the interface of his mobile phone, so much soul power, it should be enough to raise the rainbow ray to the second ring, or to raise the charge to SN, but after thinking about it for a long time, he still gave up this idea.

These two elements are enough at the moment.

His current true strength is no less than that of any middle-level transcendent, and even daring to compete with high-level transcendents has long exceeded the scope of normal professional levels.

You should stop the enhancement element for a while and raise the wizard level first.

Each level up, you can fuse a new demon soul, get new elements, and improve your strength faster and stronger!

He was able to leapfrog the challenge, mainly because he had the supernatural element of the Iron Body, and the role of a top-level element was much higher than that of several ordinary elements and rare elements.

Which of the two is lighter and which is heavier, Wren has a deep understanding and knows how to choose.

"It's only been more than half a month since I fused the crystal monitor lizard, and I'm about to find the third demon soul again, and it's not a big trouble to upgrade too quickly. ”

Wren smiled helplessly.

He has high requirements for demon souls, and it is not easy to find the right one, and it may take a lot of work.

In the evening, Viola returns to the manor.

She had already heard about the Abyssal Gate, and knew that Wren was involved, but she didn't know the specific situation, thinking that Wren was just helping.

Wren didn't want Viola to worry too much, so he didn't tell her the truth, and roughly told her about the process.

After hearing this, Viola also looked worried, realizing that this might be a conspiracy against the Duke of Silverstar, but she didn't have much information to draw useful conclusions.

The next day, the newspapers in Lonzand published the incident.

However, the newspapers were all understated, and in a very ordinary tone, it was reported that the demon extermination team had found traces of demons in the dock warehouse.

Now it's all gone, so people don't have to worry.

Although some rumors came from the dock workers who saw the demon that day, since the demon had not yet caused a terrible disaster, these rumors did not make much of a splash, and the matter quickly subsided.

Beneath the calm surface, however, there is an undercurrent in the city.

Duke Silver Star ordered a thorough investigation, the sheriff and the demon slayer team searched the whole city, and the secret fire guard was also dispatched, and street by street was investigated, and a large number of fugitive criminals were found, as well as evil god believers.

However, these are followers of other evil gods, and they have nothing to do with Loshi.

Sheriff Chief Felion personally supervised and teamed up with the Mechanics Guild to investigate all of Travic's actions in the past few months, including all of Travic's friends, colleagues, and relatives who had been in contact with him, but failed to find many useful clues.

This is a lurking Fallen, similar to other transcendent Fallen.

Travic has been preparing to open the door to the Abyss since he returned to work in the Mechanic Guild, which means that he received the Abyss Crystal shortly after his fall.

Other than that, there are no more clues.

Where that abyssal crystal came from, I don't know at all.

It can only be determined from this that Travic's fall was deliberately induced, and everything was premeditated.

But who is behind the scenes, and which force it comes from, the Security Bureau is not sure, and there are many people who speculate about the Shadow Blade Killer, but there is a lack of actual evidence.

A week later, Wren was called to go to the sheriff's office.

Outside Director Felion's office, Wren meets with Captain Pollock and Frida.

The two of them looked very good, and their injuries had basically healed.

"Wren!" Pollock greeted him happily.

His skin was cured, and he couldn't see that he had been burned, only his hair and eyebrows hadn't grown together, and his bald head looked a little weird like a boiled egg, and he smiled: "Why haven't you seen anyone these days, I haven't thanked you for saving my life." If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have survived. ”

"And me. Frida next to her added.

Wren disagreed, shook his head and said: "We are teammates, this is what should be done, I can't watch you die in battle." ”

He has been concentrating on the phonograph lately, and has reached a critical point, so he is immersed in Zoltan's mechanical workshop, and rarely comes out except for eating and sleeping.

"Anyway, you saved me. Pollock's expression was solemn, and the gratitude in his heart needed no words.

In fact, Pollock feels like a dream to this day.

At that time, in the face of so many demonic sieges, he was ready to die, but Wren suddenly stepped forward and showed terrifying strength.

In the past few days, every time he recalled the battle process of Wren to destroy the demons, he was amazed.

Pure strength, speed of the charge, sturdy defense!

With a single warhammer, Wren rampaged through hundreds of demons, severing his limbs and flying flesh like a ruthless killing machine.

Violent, bloody, shocking!

Those battle images were deeply imprinted in his mind, and he will never forget them.

When investigating Asperger's death, Pollock had been in contact with Wren.

At that time, Wren was still an ordinary person, and he felt that this young man was not simple, and he must have something outstanding to escape under the hands of a second-level shadow warrior, so he moved the idea of cherishing his talents, and did not investigate deeply, so as not to bring trouble to Wren.

Unexpectedly, in just over two months, Wren had such a powerful power.

And also saved his own life.

Pollock felt that the changes in his life were amazing, and he also knew that Wren would definitely become a legend in the future, and it was just the beginning.

Before Wren arrived, Pollock had actually communicated with Frida in private.

They knew that Wren had deliberately reduced his role in the battle to destroy demons, and although he couldn't hide it from the chief and the captain, some discerning transcendents could also see the truth from the situation in the warehouse, but it also showed Wren's thoughts, and he didn't want to be noticed by too many people.

The two reached a consensus and decided to keep a low profile for Rennes.

Wren chatted with the two teammates for a moment, knowing that they had a tacit understanding with him, so he smiled.

At this moment, the female secretary of the director came out of the office and invited them in.

As soon as I entered the office, I saw Felion sitting behind a large desk with several stacks of documents on the table, looking very busy.

"Wren, you're here. Felion got up and walked around from behind the table, with a smile on his face, and ordered the secretary to bring tea.

"Director. The three shouted in unison.

Felion sat down on the spacious sofa and smiled, "You're welcome, sit down." ”

Wren was at ease, no different from his usual demeanor, but Pollock and Frida were a little reserved. It had been a few years since they had been in the Demon Eradication Team, and it was the first time they had been in such close contact with the Director, and they were inevitably nervous knowing that the person in front of them was a legendary powerhouse.

Felion's attitude was easy-going, and he cared a few words about the injuries of the two, and quickly made them relax.

Wren sighed in his heart, this legendary magic swordsman has a very powerful social skills, both strength and ability, no wonder he can become the henchman of the Duke of Silver Star and be in charge of the Security Bureau for decades.

After a moment of small talk, Felion finally got to the point.

"It is a great achievement that you have destroyed the Abyssal Gate, you are the heroes of the city, and all the people of Longshand owe you a favor. Ferrion said with a sincere face: "Your Excellency the Duke has already drawn up a reward for you, and there are three parts in total. ”

Both Pollock and Frida listened attentively, and Wren was also interested.

"First of all, His Excellency the Duke will confer on you the title of Baron at the end of the year's Feast. Felion smiled and said, "Congratulations on becoming a member of the nobility." ”

"The goddess is above, Baron!"

Pollock was stunned for a few seconds, and then almost jumped up in surprise, and even Frida, who had always been calm, was overjoyed and smiled happily.

Wren was also a little surprised by the generosity of the Duke of Silverstar.

He understood Pollock and Frida's mood at this time, most of the commoners of the empire, the biggest dream in life was to get a knighthood and become a nobleman.

Even if the nobility is not as powerful as it was in the early days of the empire, and the Duke of Silver Star confers only honorary titles and no actual fiefs, the title of nobility still has a huge appeal to commoners, as well as most transcendents.

Receiving a knighthood means that you have escaped from the status of a commoner and entered the upper class of the empire, with many privileges.

Viola told Wren about canonizing the nobility.

The knighthood ceremony is usually held at the end of the year at the birthday of the goddess to celebrate the enthronement of the goddess.

The Duke of Silver Star canonized all levels of titles every year is generally not more than ten, sometimes only two or three.

A few of the new nobles who were crowned were descendants of the duke's family, and many more were actually wealthy people who contributed a lot of wealth to the duke.

In other words, to buy a knighthood title from the duke with money.

This is almost an open secret in the upper echelons of Lungshand, and even some well-informed civilians have heard of it.

The Imperial Knight Medal and the Imperial Knight Medal, the recipients of these two levels of orders belong to the quasi-aristocracy, and the price is clearly marked, five thousand gold and ten thousand gold respectively.

Baronial title, a fixed price of 20,000 gold, a viscount of 50,000 gold, no bargaining.

Titles above the earl have fiefs and can be hereditary, so the Duke of Silver Star has not been sold.

Wren suspected that the Duke of Silver Star did not want to sell the earl, but that the money was not in place, and the bid was too low.

Now the Duke of Silver Star canonized three baronial titles at once, although it is just an honorary title, a matter of one sentence, there is almost no cost, but it is rare and expensive, if the title is flooded, it will affect the value of the title in the future, and now it is very generous to canonize the three people.

In the entire security bureau, there are only a few people with noble titles.

According to Pollock's position, it was almost impossible to be canonized, and now that he was going to become a nobleman, and he was also a baron, happiness came so suddenly that he was so excited that he couldn't speak for a long time.

Frida is also in a mood that fluctuates and is difficult to calm down.

Wren's reaction was relatively flat, he only wanted to increase his strength, and he didn't yearn for the title of nobility, and he didn't take it very seriously.

Of course, he will not refuse hypocritically, becoming a nobleman himself is good for the whole family.

At the very least, you can give yourself a surname in the future.

Felion was a little surprised by Wren's performance, and waited until the two Pollocks calmed down before continuing: "In addition to the barony, His Excellency will reward each of you with a thousand gold, as well as a chance to enter the alchemy room of the wizard's tower to choose an enchanted piece of equipment at random. ”

"In addition, the Sheriff's Bureau will give you some rewards, increase your salary and benefits, and let Davenrah tell you personally when you return from the Wizard's Tower. ”

"Now you come with me and enter the Wizard's Tower. ”

Regardless of the wonderful reactions on the faces of several people, Felion got up and went out, until Wren turned around and reminded him twice, and Pollock and Frida woke up like a dream and hurriedly followed. 11
