Throughout the morning, visits and invitations arrived one after another.
Rein's victory over Baron Norman's influence was now fermenting and spreading throughout Meister County.
Soon, a beautiful woman walked in with another sheepskin scroll, causing Rein to feel a bit of a headache, "Whose invitation is this now?"
"Giggle, my dear, this is not an invitation, it is the deed from the Norman family," the beautiful woman laughed with a flutter.
"I inquired a bit, it turns out their shops in County Town have all been mortgaged, so essentially, the Norman family only has a few estates in the suburbs left, and this farm in Monheim Town should be the largest one, here is the deed," she explained.
As she spoke, the beautiful woman handed the sheepskin scroll to Rein.
According to the tradition of blood duels, the family of the defeated must present a considerable asset to the victor in hopes of forgiveness, and the victor would usually show some noble dignity and generosity, indicating that the matter should be put to rest.
Of course, that was just on the surface... privately...
"Monheim Town?" Rein recalled, remembering it as a small town north of County Town.
Some months ago, it seemed to have suffered a blood sacrifice by the Black Flame Church, resulting in heavy casualties.
Rein shook his head, glanced briefly at the scroll after he took it, then handed it back to the beautiful woman, "Jennifer, I'll leave the handling of this to you. Renting it out or selling it, either is fine."
"Alright, my dear," the beautiful woman said with a smile.
"By the way, dear, there's something else that might interest you," she added.
"Yakesen Auction House has just sent an invitation, inviting you to a small-scale auction exclusive to nobility. I hear there are a lot of nice items, some rare minerals, weapons and, it is said, Extraordinary Battle Techniques and so on."
Rein had initially wanted to decline, but at the mention of 'Combat Skill', he turned to the beautiful woman, "Extraordinary Battle Technique? That should be quite rare, right?"
The beautiful woman smiled slightly, "Indeed rare, Baron, would you like to attend?"
"Good, Jennifer, then please accompany me to it," Rein said.
What Rein had been considering was which third Combat Skill to upgrade to lv10.
He did have a swordsmanship Extraordinary Battle Technique at hand, a lv3 Dragan Empire military sword technique, but Rein felt that, since he already had Dual-Handed Greatsword and Two-Handed Warhammer, there was no need to practice another one-handed sword Combat Skill.
Compared to that, shield techniques or archery Extraordinary Battle Techniques might be a better choice.
Sword and shield techniques would be good too, but he currently didn't have any.
So, since there was an opportunity to acquire an Extraordinary Battle Technique, it was natural to attend this small auction.
At noon, in the new estate's dining hall.
Although his mother Emma and father old Rein had no idea that their son had just participated in a dangerous blood duel, the lavish meal was enough for them to conclude that something good must have happened to Rein.
Rein thought for a moment, and to avoid his parents reading too much into it, he briefly mentioned it, and with the assistance of the beautiful woman, the topic was lightly glossed over.
His sister Bo He didn't think too much about it, focusing instead on the various dishes.
After a sumptuous lunch.
Back in his study, Rein suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to check the system prompts after the duel in the morning:
[Your skill Tokkal Hammer Technique has improved, Experience +1789]
[You've been through a battle, Knight (Transcendent) Experience +466]
After this battle, Knight (Transcendent) level reached lv5 (1261/2000), and Tokkal Hammer Technique was lv10 (3985/20000).
However, Rein's attention didn't linger too much on the Knight (Transcendent) profession panel, instead, he turned to the attribute panel.
Having placed two points into Spirit Attribute previously in order to smelt the ice iron ingots, Rein's Spirit had now reached 27 points.
And now that the bloody duel was over, as soon as Rein returned to the estate, he wanted to try whether he could succeed in visualizing all twenty-four Will symbols of the basic Symbol Meditation, thereby reaching the level of a 'third-level Wizard Apprentice'.
Now, free from distractions, Rein immediately started visualizing the first
the twentieth Will symbol
the twenty-third Will symbol
At this point, Rein felt a slight throbbing in his temples, which clearly indicated that his practice time with the meditation technique was approaching its limit.
However, with only the last Will symbol remaining, and not feeling any pain, he decided to continue...
Visualizing the most complex three-dimensional symbol of this basic meditation technique...
The twenty-fourth Will symbol!
Rein opened his eyes, feeling quite delighted!
Although his head started to throb slightly at this point, he had finally stepped into the third-level Wizard Apprentice tier.
Then the system prompt suddenly appeared:
[Ding! Host has completed all Will symbols (24/24) of the basic Symbol Meditation, triggering Transcendental Profession Challenge—Wizard (Legendary)!]
[Prerequisites for promotion to Wizard (Legendary) are: one, Wizard qualification; two, Spirit 30 points or more; three, basic Symbol Meditation Will symbols (24/24); four, ???.... Current conditions do not meet, promotion to Wizard (Legendary) failed!]
Rein was stunned on the spot!
