Chapter 364: Official Letter
Chapter 364: Official Letter
Anna, a Druid, transformed into a specialized Water Elementalist Wizard, casting Crystal Dew multiple times on Ren.
In response to Anna's kindness, Ren reciprocated with his own.
Hours later, the entire battlefield was in disarray, and Anna was like a boiled red shrimp, occasionally trembling all over.
Fortunately, Anna had already advanced to a full-fledged Druid, and with her exceptional physique, she gradually felt herself coming back to life.
"Oh!" Anna discovered that the spot where her fingers touched had turned into a water bed, and almost the entire bed sheet was soaked. This embarrassment made her toes curl up in embarrassment.
Ren, standing by her side, naturally wouldn't let Anna be alone in her embarrassment. He immediately began to comfort her.
After a long while, Anna finally understood that this was what was meant by her 'Treasure Constitution'.
"Ren, do you really... like me like this?"
"Yes, that day, Lord Colin, you were resting, so you might not have noticed." The female staff member who had just poured the tea paused to think and then explained.
(Content in the 69% Book, read it there!)
Knowing oneself and one's opponent is the key to victory.
Therefore, Ren's ability to use this move, even compared to Tier 3 Sorcery, was not far off.
"The one in the Northern Border?"
"Sir Ren's slaying of three Quasi-Legendary strong opponents is undoubtedly a great achievement. However, the Swordbearer Branch in Maen Province sent this news simultaneously to the Imperial Capital Swordbearer Headquarters!" Lord Colin's expression turned solemn as he spoke.
With Ren in the high-level combat strength of the Swordbearer Branch in Minster Province, there was a pillar of support and a formidable presence.
"Cutting Net!"
This made Anna's anxious heart slightly ease.
"Simulation?" Ren's eyes widened in surprise.
Before them, a metal block with a flat cut surface was instantly engraved with a grid of intersecting cuts! At the same time, the multi-ton metal block vibrated back and forth along its tracks.
"Multi-Cut Net?" Ren couldn't contain his excitement and immediately started to experiment.
Middle-aged Colin, with his bald head and potbelly, was leisurely sipping tea in his office.
As Ren continued to cast spells, a dark metal net appeared in front of him, and a dense silver light suddenly shone.
At this moment, he faced a dilemma. If he were to use the Tier 1 innate Sorcery 'Metal Morphing', what kind of Sorcery spell could he create? Ren frowned slightly, crossed his arms, and paced back and forth in the testing room.
"Enter!"
"Maen Province?" Lord Colin was taken aback. Where was this Maen Province near Minster Province?
It couldn't be this fast, could it? "This is to announce that Ren Calan of the Minster Province Swordbearer Branch has been promoted to the Golden Knight rank, and within one month, he is to report to the Imperial Capital Swordbearer Headquarters. Signed by Marshal Alfred."
After multiple attempts, the system suddenly prompted:
"If you were to research it yourself, it would be a massive undertaking. Referring to ancient wizards, it would take decades, if not longer, to innovate and create a new Sorcery spell."
A sharp cutting sound rang out, and the silver net instantly embedded itself into the cut surface of the multi-ton metal cylinder in front of it.
"Yes, Lord Colin, there is such a situation. A few days ago, Deputy Olenna from the Mission Hall sent a message that Lord Ren was on official business in Maen Province, and the signer was Admiral Edward."
"Yes, Lord Colin, it's the Maen Province located in the Frostwind Tundra." The blonde female staff member nodded affirmatively.
"Sharpness Spell!"
Soon, with a hint of reluctance, he began to cast these three Sorcery spells in succession.
They naturally understood the concept of a Quasi-Legendary strong opponent.
[Ding! Host has comprehended the prototype of a Liquid Spell. Consume 28 Golden Skill Points to perfect it through simulation?]
The three silver-glowing metal nets shot towards the metal cylinder in front of them, one after the other. "Shh! Shh! Shh!"
"Lord Colin, ever since we had Lord Ren in our branch, our intelligence work has become much easier." A uniformed, petite female employee was bending over to pour red tea for her superior, Deputy Colin, as she spoke.
"Sorcery Spell: Multi-Cut Net!"
Generally, the power of Tier 2 Sorcery ranged from 60 to 100 degrees, while Tier 3 Sorcery was around 120 to 200 degrees. The power varied greatly depending on different types of Sorcery, various Sorcery tools, and other factors.
Afterwards, when Ren spent a considerable amount of time expressing his admiration through actions, Anna finally untied her emotional knot and gradually began to respond.
The highest-ranked Golden Knight at the headquarters might only be of Legendary strength and could even be inferior to Sir Ren.
"Sir Colin, there's an important official letter from the Maen Province Swordbearer Branch." The blonde-haired female staff member reported with a hint of urgency.
Hmm? Could it be the Maen Province, located in the remote northern frontier of the Empire?
When Ren opened his eyes again, his understanding of these three sorceries had completely changed!
But this time, no one could stop him.
"I understand. The headquarters will immediately notice Sir Ren, and then... Oh no, won't the headquarters' orders come down immediately?" The other female staff member instantly realized the key point and understood why her superior said it was bad news.
"Signed by Sir Hoy, this document has two copies, and the other copy has been sent to the Swordbearer Headquarters." The blonde-haired female staff member read aloud clearly.
This made Ren's situation almost unique.
Killing three legendary powerhouses, why would he still need to be cultivated?
Colin was well aware that not long ago, the Imperial Capital Swordbearer Headquarters had sent a transfer order regarding Sir Ren, but at that time, the headquarters still considered Sir Ren to be a promising Star-level Swordbearer.
"Cutting Net!"
The next morning, Ren arrived at the sorcery power testing room of Winter Fortress Academy. Of course, Melita had thoughtfully arranged a private room for him in advance.
Indeed, as a sorcery kill move, it was almost a trump card that could decide the outcome in a battle against a sorcerer of the same level!
"What's wrong, Sir Colin? Sir Ren has brought great fame to our Minster Swordbearer Branch. Why is it bad?" The blonde-haired female staff member blinked her beautiful eyes in confusion.
"Metal Morphing!"
"And it was personally signed by Marshal Alfred himself. Alas! The Minster Branch finally produced a talent like Sir Ren, and now he's leaving." Colin muttered.
He had already realized how to adjust these three sorceries and release them in succession, integrating them into a kill move! [Ding! Deduction Success! Host has understood the Metal Elemental Liquidation Spell 'Multi-Cut Net'!]
However, just now, Ren had a strange feeling that his Metal Morph spell could also fit into the sorcery kill move 'Fatal Slash' he had just learned.
He knew that he had been serving as the Deputy of the Intelligence Hall in the branch for some time, but he had never received an official letter from the Maen Province. Most of the time, he dealt with coordination or notification letters from nearby provinces.
"Yes, Sir Colin."
As Ren waved his right hand, three tightly arranged metal nets appeared before him, and almost simultaneously, they lit up with dense silver particles.
"Why are they sending us an official letter? Read it!" Colin touched his receding hairline and frowned in confusion.
"Read it again!" Colin calmed his breathing and stared at the blonde-haired female staff member with his small eyes.
He flipped through the official letter twice, feeling delighted.
"Wait! Not good!" Colin's expression suddenly changed, and he exclaimed.
Understanding one's own combat strength is crucial in battle.
"Wow, is that possible?"
Of course, it was just a feeling, or rather, Ren had only grasped a hint, a thread of the sorcery.
It was already beyond the limits of a typical Tier 2 sorcery.
"Forget it, don't read it. Give it to me, I'll read it myself." Colin walked forward, took the official letter, and started reading it.
With such talent and strength, does the Minster Swordbearer Branch still need to cultivate him? Are they trying to ascend to heaven? Just as the three of them felt that something was amiss, another female staff member arrived at the door again, knocked, and said urgently, "Sir Colin, there's an urgent transfer order from the Imperial Capital headquarters."
"You mean..." The blonde-haired female staff member's beautiful eyes widened, immediately understanding the situation.
At this moment, silence spoke volumes.
"That's right! This time, even Admiral Edward is powerless." Colin sighed and said.
A blonde-haired female staff member, wearing small leather boots, quickly approached Colin's office door and knocked.
"Sharpness Spell!"
Ren silently chanted the incantation, and the metal elemental energy particles around him began to vibrate intensely.
"Metal Morph!"
The headquarters did not investigate further.
The intelligence hall was brightly lit, with dozens of staff members bustling about.
Since the previous test did not determine the exact power of the sorcery kill move, Ren decided to conduct a precise test this time.
Colin felt his head buzzing, hardly daring to believe the news he had just heard.
"Yes, intelligence work is still busy, but not as urgent as before."
Just as the female employee was about to praise her superior, a knock on the door sounded.
On the stone tablet beside them, a large number appeared—111!
"No wonder!" Colin nodded with a smile.
Ren fell into deep thought.
He had just used his Level 1 Talent Spell, 'Metal Morphing', to transform the Hardened Essence Gold in his hand into metal wires, and he inexplicably felt a natural connection with the two spells he quickly cast afterward.
In an instant, he was overjoyed and without hesitation, chose 'Yes'! A memory of the combined casting of three spells flooded Ren's mind, and for a moment, it was as if Ren had been practicing these three spells in some mysterious space for a hundred years!
"Sorcery Strike: Lethal Strike!"
"You counter-killed three Legendary Stronghold members of the Sea God Cult?!" Colin was so shocked that he jumped up from his large chair, not realizing that the hot Yorton tea had spilled on his fat belly.
"Damn! When did Sir Ren go to the Minster Province?"
For several days, Ren familiarized himself with the new Liquidation Spell while touring the magnificent glaciers near Winterfort Academy with Anna.
"To the esteemed Minster Swordbearer Branch: Your branch's Diamond-ranked Swordbearer, Sir Ren, eliminated the Sea God Cult stronghold located in Howling Bay in the Minster Province. He killed three enemy Legendary Stronghold members: the Sea God Cult's High Priest, nicknamed 'Shadow Flameheart', Hafus; the Deep Sea Giant Commander, Dunn; and the Slasher Naga High Priestess, Erythra. He also eliminated Quasi-Legendary Stronghold members, including the Thick Shell Lobster Chief, Yacolan, and others, resolving a pressing issue in the Minster Province. Our sincere thanks! - The Swordbearer Branch of the Minster Province."
"Read!" Colin immediately had a bad feeling.
A shimmering silver metal net flashed towards a large metal cylinder in front of him! "Ssss~"
Unexpectedly, the powerful Ren from their branch had reached this level of strength.
The two female staff members beside him exchanged glances, their faces filled with shock.
His Level 1 Talent Spell was 'Metal Morphing', which was neither a defensive nor an offensive Level 1 Metal Elemental Spell. Even ancient wizards rarely possessed such a spell.

At that time, Admiral Edward had politely declined Ren's request, citing his youth and the need for further cultivation.
The originally smooth surface of the giant metal block was instantly marked with crisscrossing straight cut lines! On the stone slab beside it, the numbers that left Ren almost speechless were displayed - 143!
"Damn! This has reached the power of a Level 3 Spell!"
"Yes, Sir Colin, Sir Ren is indeed formidable. It's not a good thing, is it?" The female staff member pouring water also looked perplexed, unsure why their superior was so shocked.
"Of course, I should say, no man would dislike this." Ren nodded affirmatively.
"Cutting Net!"
In other words, Ren had no way to find information about his unique situation.
"The Black Flame Cult was annihilated by Sir Ren, and the Black Serpent Sect was also struck by him, temporarily deterring them from invading the Minster Province. Now, only the Sea God Cult in the coastal areas of Rosby County and Mye County can cause some trouble." Colin nodded in agreement.
"Does anyone know when Sir Ren went to the Minster Province?"
Until this morning, Ren received a message from the Ice Bear Priest, Ursen. - Minster, Swordbearer Branch Underground.
"What! It's true!" Colin was so shocked that he sat down on the chair, looking dazed.
"Thump, thump, thump!"
The movement wasn't very large, not because Ren's spell power was weak, but because his spell's attack characteristics were 'Sharpness' and 'Cutting', and the power was condensed and compressed to a certain degree.
"Sharpness Spell!"
That was the pillar!
Colin was well aware of Ren's role in the Minster Swordbearer Branch.
"It indeed exceeded 100 degrees!" Ren was already aware of the answer, but he was still amazed to see it.
Colin couldn't help but sigh as he held the two official letters in his hand, one from the Minster Province and the other from headquarters. He decided to combine and report them to Admiral Edward. As the leader, he was the one who would have to deal with the headache.
"Please combine the letter from the Minster Province with the urgent order from headquarters and immediately report it to Admiral Edward."
"Yes, Sir Colin." The blonde female staff member bowed slightly and then quickly left with a swaying waist.
