Chapter 40: knowledge is power

　　 Delersa made no secret of her interest in Rennes, and said, "The teachers at Claydon College are too poor. Few of them have real strength. You should leave early."
　　 "I have no plans to return to Claydon College."
　　 Ryan has been at Claydon Academy for three years and has not learned much except for swordsmanship. The college has two vacations a year, and it is now during the summer vacation, and the school will start again in half a month.
　　Each student stays in the college for up to five years, and has to leave regardless of whether he is extraordinary or not.
　　 Before crossing over, Ren's predecessor wanted to continue studying for the fourth year, but his father Bud did not support it, so he fell out with the family.
　　 Now that he is already a war wizard, he naturally does not want to return to Clayden Academy.
Delerza's face became formal and said: "Becoming a wizard is only the starting point, and the road to promotion is very long. The goddess teaches us,'Magic is truth, and knowledge is power.' As a wizard, you can never stop being a wizard. The pursuit of knowledge."
　　 Ren nodded, he had heard these words.
　　 This is the motto of the goddess of magic. Every believer, especially the wizard, regards this sentence as a standard.
　　 Delerza continued: "As one of the three schools, the battle wizard is not a large number, but it is also a wizard officially recognized by the Supreme Council. As a true wizard, at any time, you cannot give up the pursuit of truth and knowledge."
　　 "I have a few close friends in Longshande. If you want to enter the Silver Star Academy or Wizard Tower, I can help you."
　　 "You don't have to rush to make a decision, I should be at the Basil Hotel these days."
　　Dreelsa went back to the room with Roger after speaking.
　　 Ryan watched them leave, seriously considering Delersa's suggestion.
Her words are very reasonable. Wizards have never been an extraordinary profession behind closed doors. Casting spells is a very complex and subtle ability. The secret elements in the soul only provide a template for spells. If you really want to play the strongest power of magic, you need After constant exploration, master all kinds of magic skills.
　　The most powerful wizards have always regarded themselves as seekers of truth, rather than mere spellcasters.
In addition to spells, wizards often have to master runes, alchemy, enchantments, historical myths, planes, demons and soul elements, and so on. These near-infinite knowledge may not need to be studied and proficient in every item, but it is also costly. In addition to the countless energy of the wizards, they also bring great power.
　　The higher the level of the wizard, the more knowledgeable and favored by the goddess of magic.
　　Longshande’s largest wizarding organization is the Silver Star Academy and Wizard Tower established by the Duke of Silver Star. Unless you 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 he becomes a wandering wizard.
　　 The wandering wizards have no support from the forces behind them, lack of resources, especially the inability to enter the libraries of the major wizarding colleges, and 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 promoted to legends, but no wandering wizard can be promoted to the holy soul wizard and enter the Supreme Council.
　　 Of course, Ryan does not want to be a wandering wizard. There is a better way not to go. That is 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, and everyone aims at wizards. Even if they can't become wizards, they must become other spellcasters. The welfare of the students is very good.
　　 Of course, this is not bad, but compared to other academies, it is incomparable with Wizard Tower.
　　 Only formal wizards are eligible to enter the Wizard Tower. The management of the Wizard Tower is very strict, and the model is different from that of the academy. It is mainly taught by master and apprentice.
　　 Every wizard who enters the tower must choose a higher-level teacher to follow the teacher to study or fight.
　　 All the expenses of the members of the Wizard Tower, including the knowledge and potions required, are borne by the Silver Star Duke. Accordingly, all the wizards in the tower must obey the Silver Star Duke’s orders.
　　 This holy soul wizard is the sole master of the tower.
　　Ryan has limited knowledge of the inside of the Wizard Tower. Anyway, the top wizards of Longshande are almost all members of the Tower.
　　His background is very clear. It is not difficult to enter Silver Star Academy and Wizard Tower.
　　 Now there is another legendary wizard as the introducer, no matter where he goes, it is a matter of one sentence.
　　 Rehn prefers the Advanced Silver Star Academy. He has a preliminary grasp of some knowledge. After he learns more information, he decides whether to enter the Wizard Tower.
　　 However, he now has a suspicion that the Shadow Blade Killer seems to have a conspiracy against Silver Star Academy.
　　 In the near future, there may be major events in the Silver Star Academy.
Ren didn’t want to wander into this mess. Although he was only a first-level wizard, he was a small and insignificant character between the Silver Star Academy and Shadow Blade, but there was a mark of strife on his body. In trouble.
　　 "Let's wait a moment, and then enter 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 yard and went up to the second floor of the Basil Hotel to enter the room.
　　 The cost of this room has been paid, and no one has come in during the period. The shotgun and the long sword confiscated from Asperger are hidden under the bed without any trace of being moved.
　　 Ren took out the shotgun and checked it again, there was no problem.
　　 I made 30 bullets before. Some of them were used that day. There are still 17 bullets, but after a few days it seems a bit damp, I don’t know if I can use it.
　　 Ren shook his head and decided to abandon this batch of bullets, and even this shotgun had to be rebuilt.
The 　　 shotgun was only made in an emergency. When he was an ordinary person, it was very useful. Now he is an extraordinary person, so he can't use this gun temporarily.
　　 Because there was too much movement when the shot was fired, there was no chance to use it in Longshande City.
　　Especially in the Silver Star area, the genie eye on the top of the wizard tower is constantly monitoring the entire area. As soon as the gunshot sounds, its gaze may be swept over in the next second, and then locked, there is no chance to run.
　　 Of course, the shotgun is still very useful, it can make up for the current shortcomings of long-range attacks without spells.
　　 But it must be modified first, especially the bullet gunpowder must be replaced with smokeless gunpowder. It is best to learn from Zoltan the experience of making soul guns, combine the advantages of the two, increase the power, and make the most suitable guns.
　　 Rain put away the gun and sword, went downstairs and ordered a dinner in the hotel lobby.
　　 Zoltan came over to chat with him, complaining that Roger was messing with the woman behind him again, not playing cards with himself.
　　 Rehn was helpless, so he could only change the subject and talk to him about gun manufacturing.
　　 Sure enough, Zoltan immediately forgot to play cards as soon as he mentioned the firearms, and happily showed off his several soul guns in his collection.
　　 After eating this meal for more than three hours and drinking half a barrel of beer, Rennes also benefited a lot.
　　 After dark, Ren took a shotgun and a long sword and returned to his apartment.
　　 Disassembled the gun into its parts and dealt with the damp bullets. Now the only weapons he can use are an octagonal hammer and Asperger's sword.
　　 took the sword and swung it a few times, Renn shook his head unsatisfactorily.
　　 This half sword is very valuable, the materials and workmanship are very good, but it is not an enchanted weapon, and the weight is too light, only a little over ten pounds.
　　Ellen's "pound" is almost equal to the "jin" on the earth.
　　 A ten-pound sword is actually quite heavy. Ordinary people have no energy after a few swipes. It is difficult to use in actual combat, and only extraordinary people can use it.
　　Roger is a legendary demon hunter, and he is not good at strength. That wolffang steel sword is only thirty pounds.
　　 But for Rennes, whether it is ten pounds or thirty pounds, it is too light.
　　 He can easily lift two thousand pounds now, and the weight of the weapon at his hands is about 100 pounds. If it is less than one hundred pounds, it will not give you the advantage of strength. If it is more than one hundred pounds, it will affect your dexterity and speed, and consume too much energy in battle.
　　 There are very few 100-pound swords, usually two-handed swords or giant swords.
　　 Ryan is good at swordsmanship, but he has no particular preference for swords. Perhaps it is the influence of his nickname in his previous life. He has a soft spot for hammers.
　　 Warhammer, a heavyweight weapon, can even more exert its power!
　　 He picked up the octagonal hammer next to him, and squeezed it in his hand a few times. The 30-pound hammer felt like a straw, too light.
　　 "I still have to buy a suitable hammer."
　　 Wren remembered that when he bought an octagonal hammer, he saw several war hammers in that mechanical craftsman's shop. There should be something he could use.
　　 He immediately went out, crossed the street, and soon came to the artisan shop~EbookFREE.me~The owner of the artisan shop was still tired and sat there to rest. Seeing Renn, he still had no plans to get up and entertain him.
　　 Renn ignored him and walked to the area where hammer weapons were placed.
　　 A dozen of various types of warhammers are listed, mainly divided into three categories, one is the long-handled heavy hammer, the whole hammer is almost as high as a human, and it 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 and weighs about forty pounds.
　　 These two kinds of hammers are relatively few, and the most are the ones with moderate length.
　　 Warhammer was originally a favorite weapon of dwarves. The hammer has a large head and a handle of about one meter long. It is suitable for the height of a dwarf and can be used by humans. It can be held with both hands or waved with one hand.
　　 There are five or six warhammers in the artisan shop, almost all of which follow the design style of the dwarf warhammer.
　　 The hammer head is mainly square, the handle is engraved with anti-skid stripes, and many small details are decorated with dwarves. If you don't distinguish carefully, you think it is a weapon from a dwarf.
　　 These warhammers are not enchanted, they are just ordinary weapons.
　　 The price of enchanting weapons is more than one hundred gold shields, Renn can't afford it now, and the artisan shop will not just put it here for anyone to try.
　　 So Ren didn't have much choice. He picked up a warhammer and felt it, and found it a little lighter.
　　 tried several warhammers, and they were all around seventy pounds.
　　 This weight may be just right for dwarves and other melee classes, but Rennes has an enhanced "strength" element, and seventy pounds is still too light.
　　 Wren wanted to buy a hammer at will and use it, and was about to ask for the price, but saw a war hammer hung on the wall behind the boss, which looked heavier.
　　He walked over and asked, "Boss, can you show me the warhammer behind you?"
