If you're willing to pledge allegiance to the Norman family, this will be the best decision of your life.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other party did not directly answer Rein's question, but instead said something unexpected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Rein was taken aback, \"Hm? Is this... a recruitment?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the superior attitude of the other party was plainly more like charity...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rein instinctively felt awkward and uncomfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nevertheless, Rein still planned to politely inquire about the other party's background.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, with such a pompous recruitment, the background must be prominent, possibly from some hereditary Earl or even Marquis family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in Meister County, there seemed to be only one hereditary Earl family—the Habus family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Rein naturally asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you for your appreciation... sir, but please forgive my ignorance, is the Norman family a great noble family from another county?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You... Rein, what you just said is an offense to the noble Baron Norman. The wrath of the Norman family is not something you can withstand,\" the middle-aged man visibly displayed anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Baron?\" Rein instantly realized; the person was from a lesser-known Baron family named Norman, not the Earl or Marquis he had conjectured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His question had clearly angered the other party, seen as a challenge and scorn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But surely, he would never accept the other party's offer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Give up being the Guardian Knight for the fair, beautiful Lady Creya with long legs to become a servant in some Baron's house whose lands he did not even know?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That would be a brain kicked by a donkey... tssk!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rein shook his head, straightened his expression, bowed slightly, and apologized:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm sorry, thank you for your appreciation, but I cannot accept!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then it is truly a pity! You refused an opportunity to save your own life. A genius is going to fall here, truly regrettable,\" the middle-aged man shook his head slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, the situation turned volatile!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Clang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other party immediately drew a longsword, pushed off with the tip of his foot, and attacked Rein!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So fast!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rein's pupils constricted!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The speed of the opponent was no less than that of the assassin who had attacked him last time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Clang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rein barely managed to block the strike of the longsword with his Fine Steel Greatsword, but he was still knocked back two steps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Failed recruitment turns to assassination, how domineering?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Moreover, the strength and agility of the opponent, fearsomely near that of a formal knight!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rein was surprised, but the opponent was even more so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rulse had never expected the son of a farmer to have reached such a level!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To actually withstand his full-powered strike and only retreat a few steps, he was even more proficient than what Rulse had estimated when he watched Rein practice swordsmanship!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It should be noted, his strength was that of an almost-knight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This indicates that the opponent's strength had completely reached the level of a Tier-3 Knight Attendant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder the last attempt failed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even compared to himself, the gap isn't too big. Could it be because of the breathing technique the other was practicing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's just that the opponent's speed was a bit slow, clearly two levels below his own.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good, although there are variables, everything is still within control.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the opponent was slower, the experienced Rulse instantly thought of the best tactic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was to make use of the fastest Thrusting Sword Technique, catching the opponent off guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rein had already activated \"Strength Burst\" at 30% of its full capacity, pushing his strength beyond 14 points, only to find himself still falling slightly behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This allowed Rein to estimate that his opponent's strength was around 15 points, but definitely not exceeding 16 points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, compared to him, the opponent's speed was just too fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren't for his level 2 danger perception, he might have already been injured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good, now there's no hesitation about how to distribute his points!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rein immediately used one attribute point on agility, successfully boosting it to the major milestone of 10 points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Clang!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, a split second later, Rulse's swifter thrusting strike was still solidly blocked by the young man opposite him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This brought a flicker of surprise to Rulse's face; the speed of the youth opposite him had actually increased!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From initially dominating in speed to now being only slightly better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thankfully, I was prepared, having applied lethal poison. Just one hit and it should be over.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rulse's sword moves became even swifter, striking at Rein like a fierce storm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cling clang clang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bang!\" Rein's chest was brushed by Rulse's sword, cutting through the surface of his cotton jacket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh! Plate armor??\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rulse, thinking he had secured the victory, was surprised to find that the youth opposite him was wearing a rarely seen plate armor!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which caused his strike just now to be in vain!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the fight progressed to this point, Rulse might not have realized himself that he had gradually deviated from his original plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His initial plan was, once Rein refused, to take him down within a few seconds, then deal with the body quickly before leaving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, although he was slightly ahead, the whole fight had become fiercely contested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In this case, to take down the opponent in a short time and leave without trouble is extremely difficult.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We're not far from the main road. If I take too long, it might draw the attention of others, which would be troublesome.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It looks like I have to use my secret technique!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, Rein was also intently watching Rulse, his mind swiftly searching for a strategy to break through the enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The opponent's swordsmanship is very practical, extremely deadly, and he has abundant experience. His overall ability is clearly above mine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The most troublesome thing is the opponent's attack speed, even faster than that assassin!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even after adding one point to agility, it's still not enough!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rein had also considered suddenly unleashing his full strength and performing a roaring strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But seeing the opponent's ease in attacking, if I don't time it right, even if I unleash full power with Strength Burst, I might not be able to hit him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And once it fails and the opponent gets wary, it would be harder to find such an opportunity again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Roaring Strike is my only chance to turn the tables; it must only be used when there's absolute certainty!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eh! The knight's longsword's pale green glow? It's poisoned?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking advantage of this moment, Rein keenly noticed that the knight's longsword was emitting a faint pale green glow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This alarmed and angered Rein!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Had I not been wearing plate armor just now, would I have already been poisoned!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a situation where any mistake could be deadly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Keeping any attribute points now would be suicidal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rein decisively used his last attribute point on agility again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this, his agility reached 11 points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His overall condition also returned to its peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Rulse made a move!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All he saw was Rulse swinging his sword again toward Rein, his right hand's longsword moving at high speed, transforming into three blades, with a sharp slicing sound, simultaneously stabbing towards Rein's forehead, neck, and chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was Rulse's trump card, one of the Dragonguard's secret sword techniques, Swift Sword Triple Strike!!\u003C\u002Fp>",1239,"2026-06-05T17:04:00.912Z",1,"novelbin.me","47a810ed93c904d99076f753229683b34a68bae9d9c5a049cb53172e1f557a5b","wizard-starting-from-shoeing-donkeys-chapter-193","wizard-starting-from-shoeing-donkeys-chapter-192",1660,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwizard-starting-from-shoeing-donkeys-cover.jpg"]
