Chapter 55: The Father-In-Law Came to the Door.
[Detected the birth of the 52nd child of the host. The magical aptitude of the offspring is medium, and the fighting spirit aptitude is high. Evaluation: Silver level. Reward: 30 years of cultivation in fighting spirit, 10 years of cultivation in magic.]
[Detected the birth of the 53rd child of the host. The magical aptitude of the offspring is high, and the fighting spirit aptitude is high. Evaluation: Silver level. Reward: 30 years of cultivation in fighting spirit, 5-star flying combat technique - Wind and Thunder Twin Wings.]
He have to say, the quality of these two births is quite high.
Both are evaluated as Silver level.
What surprised Rennes even more was that this time the system actually rewarded a flying combat technique.
You see, before becoming a Sky Knight, there are only two ways to freely fly in the sky.
One is to have a flying mount that can carry people, and the other is to rely on flying combat techniques.
However, both of these methods are not easy to obtain.
Flying mounts that can carry people are almost all high-level magical beasts, and it is extremely difficult to capture and subdue them.
And as for flying combat techniques, let alone hearing of the existence of one, they are already very rare and even harder to obtain than flying mounts.
Therefore, the vast majority of knights are unable to acquire flying abilities before advancing to become Sky Knights.
And the importance of this ability to fly, needless to say.
Even fools understand that occupying air advantage means absolute initiative.
In this situation, the value of a 5-star flying combat technique can be imagined.
"Receive Wind and Thunder Twin Wings."
Rennes couldn't wait and silently recited in his heart.
With this flying combat technique, his weakness of not being able to fly disappears.
Now, even if he encounters a Sky Knight, he won't be at a disadvantage.
After all, if a legendary profession and a flying combat technique cannot fight across ranks, he might as well find a piece of shit and kill himself with it.
In the next second, the memory information about Wind and Thunder Twin Wings merged into his brain.
He made a preliminary attempt to cultivate it.
With his strong cultivation, Rennes imitated and practiced, and soon succeeded in getting started.
Smoothly, he condensed a pair of extremely agile fighting spirit wings behind him.
These wings were purplish-blue with a hint of green at its edges and were composed of the elements of wind and thunder.
They looked extremely cool.
With a gentle flap, Rennes felt his body become much lighter.
There was a sensation of floating and soaring.
"Let's test the flying effect."
Confirming that the wind and thunder Twin wings he condensed matched the information in the system, Rennes couldn't wait to try flying.
These wings were essentially formed by his fighting spirit and were very easy to control.
He walked into the garden, Rennes controlled the fighting spirit wings behind him to flap rapidly.
Whoosh!
In an instant, a strong wind swept through.
Rennes' body instantly turned into a blur and soared into the sky.
50 meters!
100 meters!
150 meters!
...
In less than a minute, Rennes easily flew over a kilometer high.
And this was because Rennes was still unfamiliar with flying and hadn't fully activated the wind and thunder Twin wings.
In order to test the maximum speed of the wind and thunder Twin wings.
With a thought, Rennes activated the wind and thunder Twin wings to their maximum state.
Wooosh!
In an instant, Rennes' figure turned into a purple-blue lightning and disappeared from the spot.
After more than five minutes.
Rennes' figure appeared in the sky ten kilometers away.
"The current maximum speed of my wind and thunder wings is about fifty meters per second."
Estimating his flight speed just now, Rennes was very satisfied.
This speed was already very fast.
It was almost comparable to the high-speed trains of his previous life.
When his cultivation level advanced, this speed could continue to increase.
After satisfying his desire to fly, Rennes flew back to the Habsburg Manor.
Conveniently, he also claimed the other rewards.
In addition to this flying martial technique, the two silver-rated heirs provided him with a total of sixty years of fighting spirit cultivation and ten years of magic cultivation.
After he claimed all of the cultivation, Rennes's fighting spirit has increased by about 20%, and his magical power has also increased by 30%.
One step closer to breaking through cultivation.
Especially in terms of magical cultivation, it is not far from breaking through to the 8th rank.
The rapid progress in strength has greatly excited Rennes.
"At this rate, in a few more years, I might be able to directly break through to the legendary rank and become the first legendary master in the Kingdom of Lance."
Rennes thought happily in his heart.
...
Half a month later.
On this day.
In the afternoon.
Rennes sat in the garden with his wives, enjoying a lovely afternoon tea.
Suddenly, the butler, Ivan, hurriedly approached.
"Lord Rennes, Lord Igor, the head of the Yak Viscount family, has come to visit and wishes to see you."
"Father is here?"
Before Rennes could speak, Jessica couldn't help but speak up.
Her face was full of surprise.
Speaking of which, she hadn't seen her father in many years, she really missed him a bit.
"Come with me to see him." Seeing Jessica's reaction, Rennes smiled and said.
"No need." After thinking for a moment, Jessica chose to refuse.
After all, she didn't know if her father's visit this time was for an important matter to discuss with her husband.
It would inappropriate for her to be present.
As for meeting her father, they could meet after the two of them finished their discussion.
Understanding Jessica's thoughts, Rennes didn't say anything.
Instead, he followed the butler and walked towards the mansion.
Entering the reception room.
Rennes saw an elderly man dressed in purple noble attire sitting in a chair.
It was his father-in-law, Igor.
However, due to his status and power far surpassing Igor, and also because Jessica was not his legal wife just a mistress.
According to the rules of the nobility, he didn't have to call him father, but could address him by his name and title.
"Viscount Igor, what brings you here today?"
Rennes actually admired his father-in-law.
Over ten years ago.
In order to further his own title, he actively participated in a massive border war.
And he actually managed to survive the bloodshed, he earned great merits in the border war and became a viscount noble.
Although his rise in title couldn't compare to Rennes, who directly became a Count jumping two ranks.
But still compared to others, it was considered fast.
Such achievements and courage were truly remarkable.
"Well, it's like this! When our Yak family was developing a new territory, we discovered a medium-sized black rock mine, but there is a medium-sized tribe of rock goblins living around it."
"With our Yak family's strength, it's difficult to take them down."
"Therefore, I want to ask Count Rennes to purchase some Wind chaser crossbows..."
Igor explained his purpose.
Goblins were the lowest-level monsters, very weak in strength.
Even a 1st-tier warrior could easily kill more than ten of them.
But rock goblins were different, as a mutated subspecies.
Rock goblins were born with three innate magic talents: Stone Skin, Giant Strength, and Stone Spear. They could reach the 3rd tier when they reached adulthood.
Among them, the exceptional ones could even reach the level of a mid-tier transcendent.
And a medium-sized tribe of rock goblins would have at least a hundred adult goblins.
As an emerging viscount family, the Yak family had a shallow foundations.
If they were to confront them head-on.
Even if they could take down this tribe of rock goblins, the losses would be devastating.
That's why, he came specifically to the Habsburg family.
Hoping to purchase a batch of Wind chaser crossbows to enhance the family's strength and reduce the losses caused by exterminating the tribe of rock goblins.
