Chapter 40

De Laersa made no secret of her interest in Rennes, and said: "The teachers at Clayton College are too poor, and few of them have real strength. You should leave early."

"I have no intention of going back to Clayton College."

Ryan spent three years at Clayton Academy, and didn't learn much except fencing. The college has two holidays every year, and now it is the summer vacation, and there is still half a month to start school again.

Each student stays in the academy for a maximum of five years, and they have to leave regardless of whether they become superhumans or not.

Before crossing over, Ren's predecessor really wanted to continue studying for the fourth year, but his father Bud didn't support it, so he fell out with his family.

Now, he was already a battle wizard, so he naturally didn't want to go back to Clayton Academy.

Teresa's face turned serious, and she said: "Becoming a wizard is just the starting point, and the road to promotion is very long. The goddess taught us, 'Magic is truth, and knowledge is power'. As a wizard, you can never stop thinking about truth and truth." the pursuit of knowledge."

Ren nodded, he had heard this sentence before.

This is the motto of the goddess of magic, and every believer, especially wizards, regards this sentence as a standard.

De Laersa continued: "As one of the three great sects, the battle wizards are not many, but they are also wizards officially recognized by the Supreme Council. As a true wizard, at any time, you must not give up the pursuit of truth and knowledge."

"I have a few good friends in Longshande. If you want to enter the Silver Star Academy or the Wizard Tower, I can help you."

"You don't need to rush to make a decision, I should be at the Basil Hotel recently."

After Teresa finished speaking, she went back to the room with Roger.

Ren watched them leave and seriously considered Delersa's suggestion.

What she said makes sense. A wizard has never been an extraordinary profession that works behind closed doors. Casting spells is a very complicated and delicate ability. The secret magic element in the soul only provides a spell template. After continuous exploration, he has mastered various spell-casting techniques proficiently.

The most powerful wizards have always regarded themselves as seekers of truth, rather than mere casters of spells.

In addition to spells, wizards often have to master runes, alchemy, enchanting, historical myths, planes, maps of magic soul elements, etc. These nearly infinite knowledge may not require research and proficiency in every item, but it also takes a lot of time. It draws countless energies from the wizards, and at the same time brings great power.

The higher the level of wizards, the more knowledgeable they are, and they are favored by the goddess of magic.

The largest wizard organization in Longshande is the Silver Star Academy and Wizard Tower established by the Duke of Silver Star. Unless they leave Longshande, every wizard living here must deal with both.

Either join the Silver Star Academy, or enter the Wizard Tower.

Of course, Ren can also not enter, so that he becomes a wandering wizard.

There is no powerful support behind the wandering wizards, lack of resources, especially the inability to enter the libraries of major wizarding colleges, lack of various knowledge and skills, no matter how talented they are, it is difficult to go far.

In the history of the empire, there are occasional wandering wizards who are talented in the sky and are promoted to legends, but none of them can be promoted to Holy Soul Wizards and enter the Supreme Council.

Of course Ren didn't want to become a wandering wizard. If there was a better way, he would be a fool.

He just didn't decide whether to enter the Silver Star Academy or the Wizard Tower.

The environment of Silver Star Academy is relatively relaxed, similar to the other two academies, except that there are fewer students. All of them aim at wizards. Even if they cannot become wizards, they must become other spellcasters. The benefits for students are very good.

Of course, this is not bad, but compared to other colleges, it cannot be compared with Wizard Tower.

Only official wizards are eligible to enter the wizard tower. The management of the wizard tower is very strict, and the mode is different from that of the academy, mainly based on master-apprentice teaching.

Every wizard who enters the tower must choose a higher-level teacher to learn or fight with the teacher.

All the expenses of the members of the Wizard Tower, including the required knowledge and potions, are borne by the Duke of Silver Star. Correspondingly, all wizards in the tower must obey the Duke of Silver Star.

This holy soul wizard is the only master of the tower.

Renn has limited knowledge of the situation inside the wizard tower. Anyway, the top wizards in Longshande are almost all members of the tower.

His life experience is very clear, and it is not difficult to enter the Silver Star Academy and the Wizard Tower.

Now there is another legendary wizard as the introducer, no matter where he goes, it is a matter of one sentence.

Ren is more inclined to advance to the Silver Star Academy, master some knowledge initially, and wait until he learns more information before deciding whether to enter the wizard tower.

However, he now has a doubt, that is, the Shadow Blade Killer seems to have a conspiracy against the Silver Star Academy.

In the near future, there may be major events happening at the Silver Star Academy.

Ren didn't want to get into this troubled water. Although he was only a first-level wizard, and he was an insignificant character between Silver Star Academy and Shadow Blade, he had marks of conflict on his body. If he was noticed in the academy, it would be too much. trouble.

"It's better to wait for a while, and then enter the Silver Star Academy after the conspiracy breaks out."

Ren thought to himself, but before that, he still had a very important thing to deal with.

He left the courtyard and went up to the second floor of the Roller Hotel to enter his room.

The room was being paid for and no one had been in it, and the shotgun and the longsword confiscated from Asperger were hidden under the bed, untouched.

Lane took out the shotgun and checked it. There was no problem.

I made 30 bullets before, and I used up some of them that day, leaving 17 bullets left. However, it seems to be a little damp after a few days, so I don’t know if it can still be used.

Ren shook his head and decided to give up the batch of bullets, and even remodel the shotgun.

The shotgun was only made in an emergency. When he was an ordinary person, it was very useful. Now that he is a superhuman, he can't use this gun for the time being.

Because there was too much movement when shooting, there was little chance to use it in Longshande City.

Especially in the Silver Star District, the Spirit Demon Eye on the top of the wizard tower is always monitoring the entire area. Once the gunshot rang out, its eyes might sweep over in the next second, and then it would be locked, and there would be no chance to run away.

Of course, the shotgun is still very useful, and it can make up for the current shortcomings of not being able to attack from a distance without spells.

But it must be modified first, especially the gunpowder of the bullets must be replaced with smokeless gunpowder. It is best to learn from Zoltan's experience in making soul guns, combine the advantages of the two, increase the power, and make the most suitable firearms for you.

Ren put away the gun and long sword, went downstairs and ordered a dinner in the hotel lobby.

Zoltan leaned over to chat with him, complaining that Roger was messing around with that woman again, instead of playing cards with himself.

Ren felt helpless, so he could only change the subject and talk to him about gun manufacturing.

Sure enough, as soon as Zoltan mentioned guns, he immediately forgot to play cards, and showed off to Lei the few soul guns he had collected with great joy.

After eating this meal for more than three hours and drinking half a bucket of beer, Ren also benefited a lot.

After dark, Wren returned to his apartment with a shotgun and sword.

After dismantling the gun into parts and disposing of the damp bullets, the only weapons he can use now are an octagonal hammer and Asperger's hand and half sword.

After picking up the sword and swiping it a few times, Ren shook his head dissatisfied.

This handle and half sword is very valuable, and the materials and workmanship are very good, but it is not an enchanted weapon, and it is too light, only a little over ten pounds.

The "pound" of Allenus is almost equal to the "jin" on the earth.

A ten-pound sword is already quite heavy. Ordinary people lose the strength to swing it a few times. It is difficult to use in actual combat. Only extraordinary people can use it.

As a legendary demon hunter, Roger is not good at strength, and the wolf's tooth steel sword only weighs thirty pounds.

But for Lane, whether it was ten pounds or thirty pounds, it was too light.

He can lift two thousand pounds with ease now, and the weight of the weapon in his hand is about one hundred pounds. If it is lower than 100 pounds, it will not be able to take advantage of its strength, and if it is higher than 100 pounds, it will affect its dexterity and speed, and it will consume too much energy in battle.

Hundred-pound swords are very rare, usually two-handed or greatswords.

Ren knows swordsmanship, but he doesn't have a particular preference for swords. Maybe it's because of his nickname in his previous life that he has a soft spot for hammers.

A heavyweight weapon like a warhammer can exert its own power even more!

He picked up the octagonal hammer next to him and weighed it a few times in his hand. The thirty-pound hammer felt like a straw when he held it, it was too light.

"You still need to buy a suitable hammer."

Ren remembered that when he bought the octagonal hammer before, he saw a few warhammers in the mechanic shop, and he should have something he can use.

He went out immediately, crossed the street, and soon came to the craftsman's shop.

The owner of the craftsman's shop was still sitting there resting exhausted. Seeing Ren, he still didn't plan to get up to entertain.

Ren ignored him and walked to the area where hammer weapons were placed.

More than a dozen warhammers of various types are listed, mainly divided into three categories. One is a heavy hammer with a long handle. The whole hammer is almost as tall as a person and needs to be held with both hands. It looks like two to three hundred pounds. One is a one-handed hammer with a short handle, which is relatively light, weighing about forty pounds.

There are relatively few of these two kinds of hammers, and the most are war hammers of moderate length.

The warhammer was originally a weapon favored by dwarves. The hammer head was relatively large and the handle was about one meter long. It was just right for dwarves and humans could also use it. It could be held with both hands or swung with one hand.

There are five or six warhammers in the craftsman's shop, almost all of which follow the design style of the dwarven warhammer.

The hammer head is mainly square, the hammer handle is engraved with non-slip stripes, and many small details are decorated with dwarves. If you don't identify it carefully, you may think it is a weapon from the hands of dwarves.

None of these warhammers are enchanted, just normal weapons.

The price of enchanted weapons is more than 100 gold shields, Ren can't afford it now, and the artisan shop will not just put it here for people to try.

So Ren didn't have much choice. He picked up a warhammer and felt it, and found that it was a bit light.

I even tried a few warhammers, and they were all around seventy pounds.

This weight may be just right for dwarves and other melee classes, but Ren has strengthened "strength" elements, and seventy pounds is still too light.

Ren wanted to just buy a hammer and use it, but was about to ask the price, but saw a war hammer hanging on the wall behind the boss, which looked rather heavy.

He walked over and asked, "Boss, can you show me the hammer behind you?"
