Wizard starting from shoeing donkeys

As soon as Rein heard this, he had an epiphany.

This was just like what the cuckoos did in his previous life.

The cuckoo, or the Cuckoo bird, liked to lay its eggs in the nests of other birds, letting them raise its offspring.

"But... the problem is, the Ironbeak Sea Eagles are already very fierce birds, what kind of bird could be even fiercer?"

"Besides, according to what you said earlier, when you took the egg, there were still Ironbeak Sea Eagle chicks in the nest. This situation is different from the typical brood parasitism."

"Generally, the eggs of brood parasites hatch faster than the original ones in the nest, and often, the parasitic birds will push the original eggs out of the nest one by one, leaving only their chick."

"But now, the Ironbeak Sea Eagle's chicks hatched first, so I'm a bit mystified." Vinica's beautiful eyes also looked a bit perplexed.

Rein nodded; he understood the analysis of the girl with twin ponytails.

Although he could wait for the giant egg to hatch on its own, the issue was that different bird species required different incubation temperatures and conditions.

Moreover, the food to feed different birds varied greatly.

If he could figure out the origin of this egg in advance, that would be best.

Suddenly, it seemed as if Vinica thought of something. Her eyes lit up, and she said:

"However... if you don't mind, Lord Rein, I can record the situation of this egg now and send a message to my mentor, Master Annius, for consultation."

"I think my mentor should be able to help you solve this puzzle."

"Of course, Miss Vinica, that would be great," Rein said with a slight smile.

"You are too polite. Just wait a moment, I'll use the Image Stone to record it now." The girl with the twin ponytails quickly took out a stone resembling a goose egg that emitted a faint blue light from her waist pouch.

She began chanting a spell, and soon, the blue-light goose egg stone flickered. A faint light covered the giant egg, completing the recording.

After putting the Image Stone into a small pouch, Vinica summoned a white seagull and tied the pouch around its neck.

Then the white seagull soared into the sky!

...

As Rein and his group of four appeared far off near the maritime area of Fishing Port Town's pier, it didn't take long for Major Mary and the Reiman brothers to get the news and meet them at the dock.

When they saw that both Rein and Vinica were safe and sound aboard the dinghy, they couldn't help but rejoice.

Especially Major Mary, who, while helping the first to disembark, Vinica, reproached, "It's really good that you are unharmed!"

"Just now, the Navy's Fish-Dragon Squad came by and said it was likely you had encountered Black Sail Pirate Captain Wolord. Now it seems their intelligence work isn't all that great, getting me wrongly concerned...."

But soon, Major Mary was stunned!

Her beautiful eyes widened, and her cherry lips gradually formed an 'O' as she was left speechless.

She noticed that the previously shiny silver knight's armor Rein wore showed obvious signs of breakage and deformation.

The surface of the knight's armor even had traces of bloodstains, which was a stark contrast to the gleaming appearance from this morning!

Obviously, Rein must have been through a big battle!

The Navy's Fish-Dragon Squad's assessment wasn't wrong!

But... if they really did encounter Wolord, how could Rein and Vinica have possibly returned safely?

For a moment, Major Mary was puzzled, struggling to understand the situation...

However, she soon got her answer.

She saw that the two special forces members who had gone with Rein were now huffing and puffing as they carried a heavy body from the back of the dinghy.

Major Mary's beautiful eyes bounced back and forth between the body and Rein, and finally, she managed to calm her excitement, attempting to speak in a steady tone, "Lord Rein, this is..."

"Major Mary, It's just as you think, this is the Black Sail Pirate Captain, 'Skull Crusher' Wolord."

Vinica, watching Major Mary's rare flustered demeanor, couldn't help but cover her mouth and giggle teasingly.

No sooner had she spoken.

A hush fell over the crowd!

Even the Reiman brothers were wide-eyed astounded, marveling at the body of Wolord!

Because just after the Fish-Dragon Squad left, they had learned in detail about the Black Sail Pirate Captain from Major Mary.

The 'Skull Crusher' Wolord, who had ruled the seas for more than ten years, was actually both a Senior Great Knight and a Senior Third-Level Wizard Apprentice.

At the time, when the brothers heard that the enemy was a Senior Great Knight, they became somewhat uneasy, looking at each other knowing the gravity of the situation.

After all, impressive as the Baron was, he was only a Peak Knight.

Against an enemy just stepping into Great Knight status, they still had confidence in Rein; after all, even if they couldn't win, with the help of Miss Vinica, a Wizard Apprentice, escaping shouldn't be a problem.

But the problem now was that the enemy was both a seasoned Great Knight and a third-level Wizard Apprentice.

That was a big issue!

If they couldn't win, they probably wouldn't even be able to escape!

But now, such a formidable fellow had also fallen at the feet of the Baron, leaving them both somewhat dumbfounded.
