Chapter 344: Herb-Baked Eggs

Chapter 344: Herb-Baked Eggs



At this moment, Ren had just transformed his forked sword back into the form of a regular two-handed greatsword.

Ren had just unleashed his top-tier ultimate move, 'Shadow Step', appearing in the blink of an eye before the twin-headed magma hound at the rear of the caravan. His greatsword suddenly forked, and with two flashes of silver light, he directly pierced both heads of the hound.

The entire set of actions was executed in less than 0.3 seconds.

Within this, he had utilized 'Shadow Step', 'Metal Transformation Spell', 'Sharpening Spell', and a technique similar to the lance's 'Armor Piercing Strike'. With these, he achieved the astonishing result before their eyes.

The twin-headed magma hound, whose strength was comparable to a second-level Liquidation Wizard, only felt a flash before its eyes and didn't react in time before being instantly killed by Ren's strike!

Behind the twin-headed magma hound, the other ordinary magma hounds were still frozen in place, not quite understanding the situation.

But this time, she saw it clearly.

Correct version, read at 69shu.la!

Hearing this, Ren's smile gradually faded.

Melita naturally noticed the transformation of Ren's weapon and the faint metallic energy particles when the silver light flashed.

"Ren, why don't you just let Melita sit with you? Why make things so complicated?" Anna exclaimed.

Ren's face turned serious as he heard this.

She had just received an urgent call from the academy, summoning all combat personnel back to Winterfort Academy to organize defenses.

Soon, Ren felt his body straighten up like a chain reaction! This instantly made Anna, who was sitting in Ren's embrace, exclaim.

"Lord Ren, Miss Anna, this is our Winterfort Academy's specialty, 'Golden Thorn Honey Tea'. It's refreshing and invigorating, quite popular among wizards. Would you like to try it?"

"That's because the location is at the easternmost part of Frostwind Tundra, in the Howling Fjord. I went there some time ago and discovered that the place had already been occupied by the Shellback Crabman Tribe."

"Seeking death!"

"No wonder the Hammerfall guards opened the gate specifically for you. I had a hunch about this." Melita said with a smile.

Ren nodded, understanding the importance of his legendary-class status.

With every flap of the Blood Feather Gryphon's wings, Melita's chest would press against Ren's back, and then she would create some distance.

Ren had originally planned to find Lagrelle and then learn about the Primordial Dragon's strength.

And Melita, although she immediately recognized the material of the opponent's armor as Secret Silver, was even more shocked! "Not only is he strong, but he's also rich!"

Anna's eyes lit up. Although she might not like alcoholic beverages, she had a different opinion about tea. She looked at Ren with her bright eyes.

"It's like this. A Primordial Dragon named has appeared in the north. Its strength is at the peak of the legendary realm, almost reaching the epic realm." Melita introduced while observing Ren's expression.

"Today, I don't have many raw materials, so I can only make herb-baked eggs for you two."

In an instant, two identical figures of Ren appeared, one moving to the left and the other to the right. Almost simultaneously, two silver flashes passed through the necks of the twin-headed magma hound.

"Thank you, Lady Melita." Ren smiled in response.

The remaining flames were crushed by a silver giant hand! In an instant, Ren had already arrived in front of the twin-headed magma hound.

After some casual conversation, Melita also learned that Ren and Anna's destination was also the Frostwind Tundra, and Winterfort Academy was at the northernmost part of the tundra, making it very convenient.

Screams immediately rang out! The entire caravan began to panic.

"Uh..."

Indeed, the taste was quite good.

For these ordinary magma hounds that posed no threat, Ren didn't bother chasing them.

Much better than those two.

The correct version, read at 69shu.la!

Seeing that Ren seemed to be enjoying himself, the caravan guard, with keen eyes, offered carefully selected grilled salmon and lamb chops.

After all, the risks Ren was taking were greater than the rewards.

"So, Lady Melita, you want me to help you face a Primordial Dragon whose strength is at the peak of the legendary realm, almost reaching the epic realm, and in return, you'll provide a specific clue about Metal Sorcery, is that right?"

Ren had originally wanted to give them a ride, but he swallowed his words.

After all, Metal Sorcerers were even rarer than her, an Ice Sorceress.

"Amazing!" Melita exclaimed in excitement.

Yannis said, and with a wave of his hand, a guard behind him carried a heavy wooden box forward.

"No, I'll do it!" Ren waved his hand.

Because her attention was focused on the second twin-headed magma hound on the left.

"Oh, just call me Anna," Melita said, covering her mouth with a light laugh. "As for Ren, he is indeed an adult."

Her mentor, who was also the dean of Winterfort Academy, had been injured in the battle with Colossus a few days ago.

The tea with golden thorn grass had a sweet taste, but it also had a refreshing beer-like sensation, and it seemed to have a faint effect of enhancing psychic energy, which explained why it was so well-received among the wizards.

Ren's eyes narrowed at the opponent's indiscriminate area-of-effect attack. He left seven or eight afterimages in his wake as he dashed forward, instantly appearing a few meters in front of the second twin-headed magma hound.

Melita was still a bit nervous and unaccustomed to riding a flying mount for the first time.

"It's not what you think," Ren said, not wanting her to misunderstand.

During the recent battle, Ren had clearly seen that the opponent was fighting with all their might. Although they didn't use it in the end, their character was evident.

"I'm glad you like it, adults."

"Hiss!"

In an instant, the original sinister thoughts in Ren's mind dissipated.

However, Ren didn't slow down at all. He continued to dash forward, leaving a white line behind him, showing no intention of dodging.

Suddenly, Melita remembered something.

If the wizards of Winterfort Academy had someone like Ren, who was exceptionally strong in close combat, to stand at the forefront and defend against the primordial dragon, the wizards could continuously cast spells from the rear without worry.

Flames erupted from the colossal body of the magma hound, comparable to a Highland Yak in size. A ring-shaped shockwave blasted outwards, sending several caravan guards who were too close flying through the air. At the same time, while still in midair, the person's body ignited into a raging inferno!

A few minutes later, Ren held a pancake-like object from his previous life and began to eat it.

A year's worth of hard work, gone in an instant!

"This... this is..." Yannis, the fat man, still seemed hesitant.

Three faces of dark silver appeared on Ren's body, quickly stacking on top of each other, forming a barrier in front of him.

"Okay, Ren!" Melita said, having experienced this feeling before.

If they had someone like Ren, who was exceptionally strong in close combat, to fight alongside them, defeating the primordial dragon named Colossus would probably be much easier. Yannis snapped out of his daze and hurriedly waddled over to Ren, saying, "Yes, Ren!"

Poison? Ren wasn't worried. After all, he had enhanced poison resistance.

But then he thought, although Bloodwing could carry another woman without issue, it might cause Anna to misunderstand.

Ren was surprised that the request was so coincidental. The other party wanted his help in killing the primordial dragon named Colossus.

Ren's appetite was not satisfied by the small amount of grass-baked eggs.

He slightly shook the two-handed great sword in his hand, and the blade instantly became as good as new.

Ren sighed helplessly at Anna's self-disclosure.

"Also, I made this egg milk wine. You two can try it."

For Ren at the moment, unless it was a sum of ten thousand gold coins or more, it might not be of much significance to him.

No, it should be said that although he still couldn't see clearly, he only saw a series of afterimages of Ren, but he understood what was happening due to Ren's incredibly fast speed.

Such a strong Grym Falcon, carrying one person shouldn't be a problem, right?

"Lord Ren, please forgive me, but I'd like to discuss something with you." After pondering for a long time, Yannies walked forward and said.

She had thought Ren was inviting her to ride the Grym Falcon!

Especially the name of the sorcery, 'Cutting Net', it sounded like an offensive metal sorcery, which piqued Ren's interest.

But upon hearing this news, she was naturally overjoyed. She immediately thanked Ren, "Thank you, Lord Ren! That's really great!"

"According to reliable information, the opponent suddenly died during the crystalization process. So, the opponent's signature sorcery, 'Cutting Net', which he improved, should have been preserved."

"Boom! Boom!!"

"Moreover, the opponent also has an official background, which is even more..."

But another two-headed magma hound attacking from the left side of the caravan caught sight of its partner being killed and immediately roared in anger.

Merita poured a cup for both Ren and Anna.

"By the way, Lord Ren, Miss Anna, please allow me to prepare a campfire dinner for you two as a token of my gratitude." Merita offered with a smile.

"Pfft! Ren, why don't you let Merita join you?" Anna laughed after hearing Ren's words.

"Go and take care of the injured first. It's better for us to leave the Hammerfall Tunnel as soon as possible." Ren patted Yannies' shoulder and said.

"Lord Ren, I'm sorry, but the only thing I can offer is this. And I doubt you'd be interested in it." Merita explained, feeling a bit embarrassed.

"Then, let's part ways here."

As the campfire flames rose, Ren and Anna smiled at each other and nodded in agreement.

Ren didn't mind Merita's presence.

Merita skillfully took out some positioning items, a small box, and inside were numerous herbs and more than a dozen eggs the size of chicken eggs.

You can either stick close to him or maintain a distance, whichever is better.

Giant fireballs and fire snakes struck the falcon shields, instantly shattering the first two, but when it came to the third shield, it seemed to lack power, although it still broke the shield, the speed was significantly slower.

"Oh? Lady Merita, is there something you'd like to discuss? Feel free to speak." Ren looked at the white-robed female wizard in front of him and smiled.

Suddenly, Merita thought of something, and as she looked at the blizzard elemental she had just summoned, she felt like crying! "Oh no! I wasted a precious Ice Crystal Core!" She lamented.

However, this time, the opponent was prepared, and facing the extremely fast-approaching Ren, this two-headed magma hound quickly opened its two blood-filled mouths and spewed out two different types of attacks.

But at this moment, it felt the human's strength.

One hour later.

If only she could obtain another offensive sorcery, that would be even better.

For a moment, Ren thought of something.

Fire snakes and fireballs rushed towards Ren with incredible speed, almost instantly reaching him!

"Roar!!!"

It was as if the two-headed magma hound had deliberately stayed away to not disturb their intimate moment, leaving her sitting alone below.

"Hmm?" Merita's beautiful eyes widened as she stared at Ren, momentarily stunned.

"Is Lord Ren from the Empire?"

The rest of the journey became smoother, although there were still continuous magma snakes emerging from the tunnel, they were all dealt with by Ren, becoming resources for Bloodwing.

However, Ren turned to Merita and said, "Lady Merita, we can discuss the matter you need my help with, but not now. Can we talk about it after we leave the Hammerfall Tunnel?"

"I have a question."

After bidding farewell to the Cameron Family Caravan, Merita sat behind Ren, who controlled the Bloodwing, and they soared towards the Beverley Pass of Kaswes Province.

Since Anna didn't mind, he naturally wouldn't either.

He looked at the tall and sturdy figure in front of him.

Upon hearing the first half of Merita's words, Ren had originally planned to refuse. He had come to find Lagrelle, and he had neither the time nor the inclination to help others too much.

Merita, holding a long-necked bottle filled with amber-colored liquid, walked to Ren and Anna's side and smiled, saying:

"Of course, that's great.

"Melita was worried that Ren might outright refuse her offer."

At this moment, Melita calmed herself and realized that the terms of the trade she proposed were a bit excessive.

As they approached the exit, Bloodwing had already eaten enough to feel slightly bloated.

With the Gryphon's body undulating as it took off, Melita had no choice but to hold onto Ren's waist.

How excessive!

"Is she trying to flirt with me?"

Looking at his expression, Melita could tell that he was indeed interested in the rare Metal-type magic she had mentioned.

"Boom!!!"

"Lady Melita, I do work for the Empire, but I'm afraid I can't disclose the specifics."

Meanwhile, the fireball and flame serpent struck Ren.

Of course, most importantly, after experiencing the battle, he didn't believe that Melita had any ill intentions of poisoning him.

"It's fine, it's just a small favor, and my current mount isn't suitable for carrying boxes," Ren politely declined with a smile.

"Whoosh!"

He finally understood why Lady Delanna, Anna's aunt, was so worried about Anna being deceived; she was simply too naive.

For a moment, Melita couldn't understand why at all.

"As a reward, I can provide you with a clue to an improved Metal-type magic, the 'Cutting Net'."

At the other end of the Hammerfall Tunnel, dozens of Cameron Caravan's vehicles were being checked and the team was taking a break.

At least, she wouldn't let her stomach suffer.

"Lady Melita, since this Metal-type magic is so rare and improved, it must be worth a fortune. Why didn't you take it yourself?" Ren stared into Melita's eyes and asked.

"Lord Ren, to show my sincerity, I'm willing to accompany you to Howling Bay."

"Good tea!" Ren took a sip and savored it.

"Moreover, the magic the other party used was the rare Metal-type magic!"

From time to time, he could feel the pressure of someone behind him. "Is this person here to ride with us?"

"Actually, Ren is a good person."

Melita, the former White-robed Witch, hadn't seen how Ren had killed the first Twin-Headed Magma Hound.

"Of course, if you still feel that you can't accept it, I'm also very grateful for your help in the Hammerfall Tunnel." Melita bowed slightly towards Ren.

"Their numbers are many, and their Shellback defense is very strong. With my strength, it's difficult to reach the target location. But with your power, these aren't problems."

"Miss Anna, thank you for speaking up for me," Melita said as she walked over to Anna and took her hand.

The two Magma Hounds that had planned to ambush them saw that their leaders had been taken care of and quickly retreated with their tails between their legs.

"As for the reward, I just saw that you seem to be a Metal-type Wizard. I happen to know the residence of a deceased Metal-type Wizard from the North, nicknamed 'The Cutter', a Second Level Liquidation Wizard."

According to the message, a massive Primordial Dragon named Colossus had suddenly appeared in the North.

"Lord Ren, we are truly grateful for your help, and on behalf of the Cameron Caravan, we offer you these gold coins."

"Of course, Lord Ren," Melita said with a delighted expression, nodding.

"Oh, alright then!"

He finally understood that Melita didn't have the Metal-type magic 'Cutting Net' in her possession, but she only had information about it.

At this moment, Melita's gaze towards Ren was filled with speechlessness.

Ren's grayish-white wizard robe was torn, revealing a silver Secret Silver Embellished Plate Armor underneath.

Hearing Ren's words, Melita's pretty face blushed slightly.

She saw a hint of surprise in Ren's expression and thought to herself, 'Finally, he's moved.'

"By the way, Lady Melita, can you tell me more about the task you want me to help with? I'll be leaving soon."

On the side, the leader of the Cameron Caravan, the chubby Yannis, was clearly a food connoisseur. He had been observing the adults from the side.

After all, no matter how rushed, dinner was a must.

If it came to it, he could transform into a Dragon-like form, becoming immune to low-level poisons.

This time, she didn't know what it was. Perhaps, if it was just Ren and her, Anna wouldn't be so shy.

After all, she had experienced it before.

But this time, there were three of them. In no time, Anna's face turned red, and she leaned into Ren's embrace. However, Ren didn't feel much happiness. Carrying two people at once was more of a torment than a joy.

He couldn't very well be intimate with Anna in front of a stranger. Moreover, the herbal omelet... seemed to be a powerful tonic. Ren suddenly felt a surge of energy.
