"I think I can agree to the request from Golden City, but the remuneration needs to be considered again!"

"The power of the Blood Hand Gang is constantly expanding, and it may be a problem for Kaiyuan City in the future. It is nothing bad to clean up the wild dogs in the wilderness before winter comes." Parist looked cunning and sneered, "However, since the Golden City took the initiative to make the request this time, I believe that those timid businessmen will definitely be willing to pay enough price!"

Enzo thought in his heart and pondered for a moment.

"How many cavalry should be sent to eliminate the Blood Hand Gang?" Enzo raised his head and looked at Paris and asked.

"For those wandering wild dogs, only 500 cavalry and a cavalry leader is enough!" Parist was confident and said with a relaxed tone, "Although the power of the Blood Hand Gang has expanded thousands of people, the untrained mob will be broken in just one round of charge."

Enzo had no choice but to nod.

As Paris said, although there were many bandits gathered in the wilderness in a short period of time, due to lack of equipment and no high-level knights, they were vulnerable under the iron hooves of the cavalry.

"Since that's the case, then agree to the request of Golden City."

"Gather 300 cavalry from Kaiyuan City, and then draw 100 cavalry from Wildfire Town and Lighthouse Town, and the Wildfire Town knight "Clarence" serves as the commander, preparing to attack the Blood Hand Gang!" Enzo decided and ordered.

Wildfire Town and Lighthouse Town are both small towns within the sphere of influence of Kaiyuan City, each with one knight and about 600 soldiers guarding it.

The Blood Hand Gang needed 500 cavalry. If all of them were recruited from Kaiyuan City, it would inevitably weaken the defense power in the city. According to his own ideas, Enzo decided to draw 100 people from each of the two towns to gather the army in the most cautious way.

"As you wish, young master." Paris bowed slightly, then turned and left.

Since he decided to attack the Blood Hand Gang, Paris, under Enzo's instruction, discussed the remuneration issue with Golden City again.

After a war of words, the merchants in the Golden City expressed their willingness to pay enough food for Kaiyuan to survive the winter, and on the original basis, they added 5,000 gold coins as rewards. Enzo happily agreed and then ordered Paris to assemble the army.

The 300 soldiers in Kaiyuan City were soon ready to go, and the soldiers recruited from Wildfire Town and Lighthouse Town also arrived one after another in the following days.

As an old knight, Wildfire Town Knight "Clarence" has trustworthy combat effectiveness and is also loyal to Kaiyuan City. Under the appointment of Enzo, he served as the commander of the siege mission. The next day he led his army to the wilderness and launched a siege against the Blood Hand Gang!

In a blink of an eye, twenty days passed.

Late at night, inside the castle.

The fire in the fireplace slowly jumped, dispelling the coldness of the night.

The room was quiet, Enzo sat cross-legged on the bed, his eyes closed, as if he was sleeping, and the light spots visible to the naked eye were leaping like elfs, and gradually penetrated into his body as he slowly rotated.

Enzo rolled his eyelids and then opened his eyes.

"Chip, how long have I been meditating this time?" Enzo asked in his heart as soon as he opened his eyes.

“The duration of this meditation: 4 hours and 21 minutes.”

"Very good, this meditation lasted for another 12 minutes." Enzo's lips raised, feeling satisfied. "The longer the meditation state can last, the stronger my mental power, and the various physical qualities will be improved accordingly!"

The army that attacked the Blood Hand Gang has set out for 20 days.

During this period, the surrounding area of ​​Kaiyuan City was calm and nothing major happened. Enzo simply handed over the daily management to Paris, while he hid in the room and studied the wizard inheritance in the iron box as much as possible.

After half a month, Enzo gained a preliminary understanding of the wizard civilization and thoroughly mastered the meditation method of "Ancient Memory".

During the continuous practice, Enzo could clearly feel that his mental power was becoming stronger and stronger, and his body began to gradually produce "magic power". Only when this "magic power" accumulates to a certain extent can Enzo learn the simplest zero-ring witchcraft.

According to the records in "Introduction to the Basics of Wizard Apprentice", before becoming a formal wizard, those with magic were called wizard apprentice.

The levels of wizard apprentices are divided into first-level apprentices, second-level apprentices, and third-level apprentices.

The improvement of level means strong mental power. Only when the magic power in the body is enough to release zero-ring witchcraft can one enter the category of first-level apprenticeship. People without the talent of wizards cannot become first-level apprentices in their entire lives.

Enzo didn't know what his talent was, but every time he meditated, he could feel the breeding of magic power in his body.

"The release of witchcraft is placed in the rune arrangement. The more magic power in the body is, the more runes it can build." Enzo's eyes flashed, and he thought in his heart, "My current magic power is enough to build 5 runes at the same time, but if I want to learn zero-ring witchcraft, I need at least 7 runes!"

"With my current mental power, I can enter the meditation state for more than 4 hours a day. Every hour of meditation, the magic power grown in my body is about one-tenth of the runes required."

"At this speed, in about 5 days, I will have the magic value of building 7 runes."

"At that time, you can officially learn zero-ring witchcraft!"

Enzo's expression was complicated and he let out a breath. His eyes couldn't help but look at the mahogany square table not far away. There were three purple crystals quietly placed on it, which were dull but had a fantastic texture.

Through "Introduction to the Basics of Wizard Apprentice", Enzo already knows the origin and use of purple crystals.

That is a fantasy item called the 'witchcraft model'.

When a wizard apprentice wants to learn witchcraft, the easiest way is to use the 'witchcraft model'. As long as magic is injected into it, the witchcraft model will arrange the internally sealed witchcraft runes in the most intuitive state until the user fully grasps it.

The witchcraft sealed by these three witchcraft models are: Shadow Stealing, Shadow Spear, and Death Awakening.

Although these three witchcrafts are all shadow zero-ring witchcraft, the difficulty of cultivation is very different. The simplest shadow stealth requires mastering the changes of 7 runes to be released, while the Shadow Spear requires 12 runes.

As for the most difficult death awakening, you need to master 23 runes, and to release them, you also need other special conditions!
