Wizard starting from shoeing donkeys

"This.... I haven't met that young man before, so I'm also unable to make a judgment," Lawrence thought for a moment, and wisely replied.

But in his heart, he was thinking, how could there possibly be someone more impressive than this young man in front of him?

He had never even heard of such an impressive young man, let alone met one.

At that time, Rein glanced at the system prompt:

[Your skill Tokkal Hammer Technique has improved, Experience +1034]

[Your skill Giant Bear Sword Technique has improved, Experience +232]

[Your skill High-Temperature Field has improved, Experience +12]

[You have been through a battle, Knight (Transcendent) Experience +298, Wizard Apprentice (Transcendent) Experience +13]

In the recent battle, Rein used the Hammer Technique most frequently and swordsmanship next, hence the distribution of the experience, with Hammer Technique taking the lion's share.

Additionally, the level of Knight (Transcendent) reached lv5 (795/2000), and Tokkal Hammer Technique was raised to lv7 (2724/5000), with the experience now more than halfway there.

And the remaining attribute points, since he added 1 point to agility during the battle, were now only 2 points left, with the remaining Skill Points unchanged at 1 point.

It was then that the sharp-eyed Rein suddenly noticed that among the muddy remains of the corpse, a damaged pouch had fallen.

This made Rein's heart stir slightly; what could it be that someone of such high caliber would carry with them?

He stepped forward to open the pouch and saw inside a token made of an unknown metal. The design was three black flames burning fiercely, which looked very similar to the Angel Envoy token he had previously obtained from killing the Black Flame Apostle.

It must have been a form of identity recognition within the Black Flame Church.

Rein shook his head slightly, finding it of little use to himself, although the Goddess Church seemed to attach great importance to it.

Huh?

What's this....

Inside the pouch, there was also a special Beastskin Scroll. Rein carefully unrolled it and saw that it was filled with prayers written in Lingwen.

After some thought, Rein concluded that this must be a prayer used for some kind of Cult ritual, which still wasn't very useful to him.

This was somewhat disappointing to Rein, for he had been quite hopeful about his spoils of war, but didn't expect there to be only these two items.

However, all of a sudden, Rein's eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something, and he muttered to himself,

"Perhaps, the Goddess Church would like this gift...."

Rein glanced from afar at the merchant caravan that was too afraid to approach because of the corner, paying them no mind. He dragged the man who could transform into a werewolf along with the man's signature weapon and threw them onto the wagon.

As for the previously hesitating caravan, upon seeing Rein return to his normal size and tidy up the battlefield, it seemed that they deemed Rein not a bad person, so they slowly approached from behind.

However, Rein had no interest in interacting with strangers at this juncture, so he mounted his black horse, drove the cart and the chestnut horse, and headed quickly to the County Town.

Upon entering the County Town, Rein did not go straight home but first visited the Wind and Ocean Goddess Temple that he had never been to before.

The tall and majestic temple could be seen from afar, supported by more than a dozen tall columns that greatly resembled the Ionic style of his previous world.

A distinct feature of this column style was that the top of each column had two symmetrical scrolls in a volutes pattern, with a small decorative band in between, making the whole design quite conspicuous and beautiful.

It also matched well with the gentle temperament of the goddess.

Along the cascading steps in front of the temple was a circular fountain with, in its center, a statue of a beautiful woman holding a conch shell, standing about three meters tall.

The water gushed tirelessly from the conch in the goddess's hand, forming a miniature waterfall that fell straight down.

A row of Holy Guards clad in silver armor stood guard all around.

Upon seeing the formidable-looking Rein riding on a tall black warhorse, they exchanged glances, then immediately approached and asked, "Sir Knight, may I ask what brings you to the Goddess Church?"

The Holy Guards had already noticed Rein's presence as soon as he appeared at the corner of the road.

First, it was Rein's tall and outstanding black warhorse, and secondly, Rein's own aura of having just slain the 'Beast Knight', which made the hearts of these Holy Guards, none of whom were as strong as official knights, tremble a bit.

If it weren't for their strong faith in the goddess, they might have already felt cowardly.

"Is Rudolph the Presbyter here?" Rein asked, with a slight smile and very politely.

"You know Presbyter Rudolph? The presbyter just returned yesterday, may I ask your name? I will announce you," said the Holy Guard who heard Rein seemed to know Presbyter Rudolph, visibly relaxing.

"You can tell Presbyter Rudolph that Rein is visiting."

"Very well, Lord Rein."

The Holy Guard quickly ascended the steps and ran toward the temple interior.

In a moment, an old man in a water-blue robe with golden trimmings, holding a thick book, came out from the temple.

Upon seeing the old man appear, Rein smiled and dismounted from his warhorse.

Rudolph also saw Rein riding the tall black warhorse and smiled, greeting him, "Now, I suppose I can call you Baron Rein."

The surrounding Holy Guards were stunned, wearing expressions of astonishment.
