Wizard starting from shoeing donkeys

Lord Reine nodded and took out the knight's suit which had a silvery hue on the surface of the water membrane steel. The silver of this steel differed slightly from the common silver, as the surface appeared to have a layer of water-like film on it, making it exceptionally eye-catching.

Additionally, Lord Reine noticed that in the center of the silver leg armor, there was a specially added cup, which was included following his request from last time.

With the help of the ponytailed civilian girl, Lord Reine tried on the outfit and found it to be quite fitting.

Although he had been a few centimeters shorter than he was now, because he had accounted for extra space at that time, the suit fit him perfectly at present.

In front of Lord Reine, wearing the shining silver knight suit, the ponytailed civilian girl's cheeks turned slightly red, and she frequently glanced at him, but then quickly lowered her head.

"Not bad, I am very satisfied,"

"That's great, Lord Reine, if there are no further changes needed, then please sign for it here," the girl handed Lord Reine a thin wooden board, which had a receipt attached.

Lord Reine took the quill and quickly wrote down his name.

...

Not long after Lord Reine returned to the blacksmith shop from the military supply department, knocking sounds were heard again!

"Thud thud thud!"

This caused Lord Reine to frown slightly.

"Come in!"

"My dear, a messenger from Count Habs has just delivered a letter for you." The beautiful woman walked in, smiling with the letter in her hand.

Upon seeing the beautiful woman, Lord Reine's frown relaxed, but upon hearing what she said, a thought crossed his mind.

Could it be a summon to Fishing Port Town?

"Oh?"

Taking the envelope from the beautiful woman, Lord Reine began to read its contents.

The letter read:

"Baron Reine: The situation in Fishing Port Town has further deteriorated. A cult known as the Sea God Sect has recruited multiple pirate groups, not only cutting off sea routes but also periodically launching raids on Fishing Port Town."

"...I am currently in Rosby City, coordinating with the Sixth Division of the Empire's Southern Sea Fleet, and soon, they will launch an attack on the Sea God Sect and the pirates from the sea, but we need you to coordinate on land..."

"...In the next couple of days, a special task force from the Sixth Division will come looking for you..."

After reading through the long letter, Lord Reine had a basic understanding of the situation in Fishing Port Town.

Firstly, the fishermen were essentially unable to go to sea for fishing, and the entire Fishing Port Town was in a state of panic. Additionally, occasional pirate landings had already resulted in the deaths of two town sheriffs.

This left the whole town on the verge of collapse.

Now, there was a critical need for a powerful individual to stabilize the situation.

Moreover, previous imperial fleet engagements had not been effective, revealing that the Sea God Sect and pirates would play 'hide and seek' whenever they saw the imperial fleet approaching. As soon as the Southern Sea Fleet withdrew, the adversaries would resurface, consolidate, and continue to develop followers and conduct raids along the coast.

In his letter, Count Habs gave Lord Reine two tasks.

First, to maintain law and order in Fishing Port Town to prevent any further deterioration.

Second, to identify which island along the coast the Sea God Sect and pirates mainly used as a hideout, to make it easier for the elite forces of the Empire's Southern Sea Fleet to launch a decisive strike.

Seeing Lord Reine's furrowed brow, the beautiful woman asked with concern, "My dear, is Count Habs asking you to go to Fishing Port Town? I heard these days that the situation there is quite dire."

Lord Reine nodded and said, "The situation indeed is severe, but not for now. I'll leave after the navy arrives, probably in the next day or two."

It seemed he had to accelerate his forging progress.

To at least reach lv7 armorer before he left!

So painful!

Where am I?

Dennis opened his eyes and took a look around, finding himself in an empty room that was strangely familiar; wasn't this the manor his family lived in before he left County Town?

Why was he back here again?

Was it possible that those people had sent him back?

Dennis shook his head, and suddenly, he felt something was off.

It was night, there was no moonlight, and the stars were dim, yet he could see things very... clearly, as if it were daylight!

When Dennis stood up and saw his reflection in the wall mirror, he was stunned for a full few seconds. Then, he let out a strange cry!

"Hiss~ Hiss~"

What he saw in front of him was not a human, but a giant lizard standing on two legs!
Your journey continues on empire

Sharp claws, pale green scales, pointed spines—nothing about it resembled a human anymore.

What kind of bloody mutation potion was this?

It was clearly a lizard potion!

...

A short distance away, in the nearby bushes, two skilled rebels lay in hiding. They were observing the mutated Dennis through a copper tube telescope.

"Hey, do you think Dennis has gone mad?"

"Probably not. Besides, he will certainly notice the change in his strength soon enough. Just watch, he will launch an attack shortly."

A few minutes later.

Looking at his own reflection, Dennis came to the realization that he had been tricked by that burly man!

But the next second, as he felt the volcanic surge of power ready to erupt inside him, his regret diminished substantially.

Extending his claw-like hands, Dennis made a light swing, producing a faint whistling sound as he cleaved through the air.

At the same time, he keenly felt that he could control a certain... function of his skin.

Upon trying it out,

What!

In the mirror, his own image had nearly 'disappeared'—was he changing color?

It seemed like he had blended into his surroundings.

This made Dennis's mood improve quite a bit.

Reine, wait for it! Heh, even if I can't kill you, I can still silently take out all your family!

And all the nobles who looked down on me! They must all die!

"Swoosh!"

An almost invisible figure darted out, racing towards the exterior of the manor!
