Chapter 166: Elements of combat skills
As Ren walked back, he checked the elements in the phone interface.
Both the Dragon Power Technique and the Thorns Electric Armor have been upgraded to the third ring.
The spells of the middle-level wizards can only reach the third ring, and can't go up. These two spells don't consume much soul power, only 30%, and more than 60% of the soul power is invested in the "swift" element.
Rehn found that "Swiftness" is the same as "Power". This basic element is more difficult to strengthen.
Sixty percent of the soul power provided by a legendary wizard has only enhanced "Swiftness" from level 4 to more than half of level 6, which is still a rare element.
In addition, "Fast Running" has been upgraded to Level 4, and the advanced is a rare element.
This is one's only common element, and now, all elements are at least rare.
The swiftness of level six brought Ren's speed to a higher level, with light footsteps and dexterous movements. Every step of the movement can reach extremely far, just like the wind under his feet, helping to move forward.
Even if he didn't have to run with all his strength, Renn knew very well that his current speed was faster than the high-level Shadow Warrior.
"Finally made up for the speed weakness."
Ren was extremely happy. As the speed increased, the feeling of incoordination before was greatly relieved, and he could maximize his body's strength.
"Now only one or two combat skill elements, my close combat tends to be perfect."
Combat technique elements are generally physical, and are applied to close combat techniques, such as "Critical Strike", "Anger Strike", "Cleave", "Shadow Assault", "Power Burst", and "Whirlwind" "and many more.
Most of the elements of combat skills are common elements, not uncommon.
Many elementary demon souls have these elements, and melee transcendents often fuse them, more or less, will master one or two.
But I don't know one of them.
So far, none of his fusion demon souls is common, which is too high-end, but lacks this common element.
"If you can't find the lightning affinity element for a while, then first fuse the demon soul with combat skills."
"Mado is so dangerous, it is safer to become a Level 5 wizard earlier."
Back in the atrium of the castle, the prisoners were all taken in here, squatting in rows on the ground.
When Rehn appeared, people's eyes all focused on him, looking at the new Earl of Glamorgan, filled with anxiety and fear, waiting for the sentence that would determine his own destiny.
According to the laws of the Empire, they were all enemies who invaded the earl's territory, and Rennes could kill everyone without any responsibility.
If you don’t want to execute the captives, you can sell them as slaves.
The Oriance Empire prohibits the slave trade, at least on the face of it, it is not possible to raise or sell slaves, but it is no problem to sell them abroad.
These people can be regarded as high-quality slaves, among them there are extraordinary ones, who can certainly sell them at a good price.
"Master Earl..." Pansil greeted him and asked, "What should these people do?"
Renn's eyes swept across the captive.
Most of them are ordinary people, more than forty people are civilian officials in charge of the management of the territory, and the rest are servants of the castle, male servants, maids, kitchen gardeners, coachmen, etc., serving the generals and officials.
A total of less than ten guards from the transcendents survived.
Rehn thought for a while, killing ordinary people and making killings was meaningless. Sending them abroad as a slave was not only troublesome, but also violated his own principles.
When I came over, I asked Fabian that these people had no direct relationship with the Modu nobles. They were all hired by the former manager. Clearwater High Castle is equivalent to a company. They are employees of the company and have no loyalty objects.
The manager also has no right to let others be loyal to him.
After occupying the castle, he needs to hire a group of people, a magnificent earl, and he can't be a polished commander. The silver knights also need someone to serve in their daily lives.
He quickly made a decision.
Rehn stood on the steps, condescendingly, and said loudly, "I, Count Glamorgan, forgive you for your crimes."
As soon as the voice fell, people showed joy on their faces, and some even cried with joy.
"Great!"
"My benevolent Count!"
"The goddess will definitely bless your lord..."
In Ren's eyes, he was extremely happy to see that most of the captives' souls had turned green. He continued: "You can choose to leave or stay and continue to work. Those who stay will receive a 20% salary increase. And there is a bonus."
"I will give you three minutes to think about it."
After speaking, Ren looked at Fabian, and the Wind Elf wisely took out a pocket watch to time the Lord Lord.
People looked at each other with hesitation on their faces. Salaries rose by 20% and bonuses. This was no small temptation.
However, most people chose to leave.
After they got up and saluted Rennes, they ran out of the castle without looking back. Obviously, these people didn't think Rennes could be the Earl of Glamorgan for long, and it was not safe to stay in the castle and continue to work.
Someone took the lead, and soon someone followed suit.
In less than three minutes, the people walked almost the same way. There were only more than 30 people left, and most of them were servants. There were only three or four officials before, and the few surviving transcendent guards all left.
Rehn used the eyes of the soul to observe the people who stayed, and investigate possible spies.
Unexpectedly, there were none at all.
"well!"
Renn nodded in satisfaction, "You won't regret your choice today, Fabian..." He looked at the Wind Spirit and ordered: "You are more familiar with the castle than I am, so let me be a housekeeper for a few days. How about ?"
Fabian beamed with joy and bowed and said, "I am willing to serve the Lord Earl."
He immediately entered the role of steward, rearranged work for those who remained, counted the assets in the castle, cleaned up the damage caused by the battle, and the castle functioned in an orderly manner.
Ren went out with the silver knight himself, the first thing was to pick up all the bullet casings.
Bullets are related to the secrets of machine guns. Some important information can also be obtained through the shells, so they cannot fall into the hands of outsiders.
In this battle, more than 700 rounds of bullets were shot out, and the large branch fell at the gate at the foot of the mountain, and the rest were on the hillside, relatively concentrated.
In less than ten minutes, all the cartridge cases returned to Renn's hands.
He knew how many bullets he had destroyed, and quickly counted them. There was not a single bullet, so he was relieved.
The recovered cartridge cases can be reused, which can save a little money.
Then is to clean up the body.
Fabian sent a list of guards and compared them with the corpses. He found out more than 30 dead people from Modu and carried them to the open space opposite the stone arch bridge, waiting for their families to come and claim them.
The remaining corpses were gathered and burned in a fire.
Under the light of the fire, Renn felt a little heavy, but he had no regrets.
This world has extraordinary powers. All laws and principles are used to restrain the weak. The strong treat the weak as nothing. The law of the strong eating the weak is displayed in the most direct way, bloody, and people have long been accustomed to the separation of life and death.
A soft-hearted person rarely ends up till the end.
Every extraordinary person, from the day he gains strength, should have the consciousness that he will be killed sooner or later.
At least, Renn himself was mentally prepared.
In the next few hours, people continued to claim the corpses outside the castle, crying continuously, the scene was very miserable, but no one dared to curse the Lord Earl in front of the silver knight.
Ren stood at the window on the second floor of the castle, looking at the relatives of the dead from a distance, his expression unchanged.
He retracted his gaze and asked as if talking to himself: "Why hasn't Speaker Modera sent someone to pick up Maitier's body?"
Oxilia's voice rang in the air: "It's already on the way, you will see it soon."
Renn looked solemn, "Who is here?"
"Student of Maitier, two high-level wizards."
Aoshilia's answer made Renren a sigh of relief.
Maitir is one of the eighteen legendary wizards in the floating city. Although he is very junior and has no tower of his own, he is a student of Speaker Modera. Killing him himself is like stabbing a hornet's nest. The troubles are endless.
In the law, Maitier was killed as an intruder, without any responsibility.
However, the law has almost no binding force on a legendary high-level wizard Rennes is a little worried, whether the Speaker Modera will directly transmit it and throw an eight-ring fireball. Kill yourself and avenge the students.
Although this possibility is very low, he has the support of the Duke of Silver Star on the surface, and the support of Master Anxi in secret, but who can guarantee that Speaker Modera will not be impulsive?
Fortunately, Speaker Modera remained rational.
His original plan was to drive away Maitier, and he didn't have the determination to kill Maitier. If it weren't for Oxilia's secret help, it would be difficult for him to get it.
Obviously, on the day when she arrived in Modu, Aoshilia said that she would not help herself attack the castle. Just now she suddenly shot her secretly, and she didn't know why she changed her mind.
Does Oxilia and Mai Tir have an enemy?
Or did she get the advice of Master Anxi to kill Maitier and deliberately anger Speaker Modera?
The speaker's position has always been biased towards the Modu aristocrats. If the Modu aristocrats have any conspiracy, she should not be able to separate.
Renne secretly guessed, but didn't ask.
Before long, two high-ranking wizards appeared outside the castle, and Pansil, on behalf of Ren, handed the body of Maitier to them.
The two of them, a man and a woman, looked sad when they saw the teacher's body.
Immediately, they cast hatred glances at the castle.
"Tell the Earl of Glamorgan to be careful of his own dog's life, and store the teacher's things in his hands, and we will take it back personally."
That seventh-level male wizard, throwing a harsh word, took Maitil's body and left.
Ren, who was sitting in the castle study, heard it through the sound of everything.
He smiled indifferently, took out two enchanted rings from his pocket, put them together with the staff on the table, and began to appraise them seriously.
