023. The Master's Choice
The civilians of the Federon continent generally did not have the habit of bathing, and Cobb washed for two hours and changed the water three times at Allen's mandatory request.
Only in this way can Alan finally get his hands on the rune qualifications on Cobb.
Cobb's rune talent is good, at least better than Locke, not only are there as many as twenty-two, but the quality of the runes is above blue, and the location is also convenient to load on the limbs.
In retrospect, Alan vaguely guessed that the number of rune bits on his body was probably related to his physique.
However, there is no way to verify the specific problem, the rune information recorded in the rune book is very comprehensive, and the only thing missing is the determination of qualifications.
After the inspection, Alan told Cobb about his physical condition and the effect of the runes, and the latter immediately became impatient, so Alan took advantage of Cobb's clean body and endured exhaustion to load two runes on his big arm.
"Alright. ”
Alan put down the short knife in his hand and wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, but Cobb's face was relaxed.
I have to mention that swordsmen like Cobb and Locke have a very high tolerance for pain, and they didn't say a word during the rune loading process, even if it was the most painful peeling, they just gritted their teeth.
"Thank you, Boss!"
Cobb felt where his arm was loaded with runes, and the scars on it were gone.
He clenched his fists and moved his lower limbs, clearly feeling the strength in his body growing rapidly.
"Boss, you're amazing!"
After saying this, Cobb turned around and ran out of the house, and Alan hurriedly chased after him.
"Your clothes!"
"Let's put it first, boss, I'll try it at the training ground!"
Alan shook his head, he went to the training ground when it was dark, and he really couldn't wait for a moment.
He hung Cobb's clothes outside, dragged his tired body back to the house to meditate.
The next morning, because of the good rest of the night, Alan had already gotten up before the morning bell rang.
The circle in the refrigerator mentioned yesterday has not yet been designed, and I plan to complete it while I have the time.
Perhaps because Alan was heard in the house, it didn't take long for her to bring water and towels for Alan to wash.
"What's wrong with you?"
When Alan wiped her face and handed the towel to Linda, she suddenly noticed that her eyes were red, probably because she had just cried.
"No, it's fine. ”
As soon as the word came out of her mouth, Linda's eyes turned red again, her nose was wrinkled, and she looked like she was about to cry.
"How can you be okay like this,"
Alan put aside the things in her hand and touched Linda's head, "Don't cry yet, if you have something to tell the young master, the young master will support you." ”
Although Linda is just a maid, because she has served Eren since she was a child, everyone in the castle knows Linda's status in their hearts, and no one dares to make her cry at all.
"Is it Dinah?"
It stands to reason that the arrogant girl in Dinah's bones disdains to bully the weak, and she will not deliberately make things difficult for Linda, but out of concern Alan still asked tentatively.
Linda held back tears and shook her head, "No one bullied me, it's just ...... I respect the young master's choice!"
After saying that, she turned around and ran out of the room, forgetting to even take the basin and towel, leaving Alan with a dazed face.
"I ...... Options?"
It didn't take long for Linda to return, and when she returned to normal, she apologized to Alan and packed up her things and left, during which she refused to say no matter how much Alan asked, which made him very confused.
After breakfast in the room, Alan continued to design the circle in the refrigerator, which was not completed until noon.
Just as he was packing up his drawings and going to Dinah to prepare other materials, Locke came to his room panting, his face a little aggrieved.
"Young Master, did you load Cobb with runes?"
"Well, two white power runes will increase the strength by about fifty percent. ”
Alan said casually while checking the magic circle on the papyrus, but Locke gritted his teeth a little when he heard it.
"Young Master, do you still have runes?"
Locke remembered that Eren had told him that he had seventeen rune slots on his body, and he wanted to fill them all at once.
"Not for the time being, we have to wait if we do it again, we are going to prepare to hunt in the next few days. ”
Alan looked up at Locke, looking at him with a somewhat embarrassed look, and realized in his heart, "Is this a fight with Cobb?"
Locke let out a long sigh and nodded helplessly.
Locke has been instructing Cobb in swordsmanship these days, and the two will inevitably fight directly for a few rounds at times, and it is often Locke who easily subdues Cobb.
This morning, Cobb asked Locke for advice as usual, and Locke naturally agreed, and as soon as he made a move, he was overturned by Cobb.
Originally, Locke thought it was an omission caused by his lack of concentration, but in the next few rounds, Locke lost more and won less.
"No, your strength at the peak of the fifth level is not his opponent?"
Alan asked with some incredulity, no matter how much rune is raised, it won't be so exaggerated, right?
"We don't use vindictiveness when we fight. ”
As soon as Locke said this, Alan immediately knew that without the bonus of vindictive spirit at the moment of explosion, it might not be easy to win against the fierce Cobb.
"Don't worry, after this period of time passes, I'll make two more for you, and I guarantee that I can teach that kid a lesson!"
"Thank you, young master!"
Allen's promise made Locke overjoyed, but the next second he suddenly remembered something, and his face was a little ugly.
"By the way, young master, there is something I want to tell you, don't be angry......"
"Huh?"
"You let Cobb take a bath yesterday, and then he ran out of your room at night with his shirt on, and then today he has increased his strength again, so everyone says you ......"
"What are you talking about me?" Looking at Locke's stumbling appearance, Allen suddenly had some ominous premonitions in his heart.
"Say you...... He has a special fetish for aristocrats, and he is a traitor......"
"What?!"
Alan shook the thing in his hand and roared violently!
The so-called traitor refers to a person who is as good as Long Yang, how can Allen, who is a straight man of steel, stand it?
"Young master, don't be angry, I've already helped you clarify on the training ground, and I have been whipped by the rumors!"
Although there are things in every castle, many things can't be said nonsense, so Locke dealt with it with thunder as soon as possible.
"But the people in the kitchen seem to be spreading similar rumors, I think you should do something to show it, young master, anyway, you are an adult now......"
Locke cautiously made a suggestion, and from time to time he looked at Allen's face, thinking in his heart, and he didn't know if the Baron's method was good or not.
Allen's heart was full of anger and helplessness, and he didn't pay attention to Locke's expression at all.
He now finally understood why Linda was abnormal in the morning, and what she called "the young master's choice".
Perhaps, I should really do something to prove what a man is.
At that moment, Cobb appeared at the door with a smile on his face.
"Brother Locke, why are you here young master?" Cobb's voice was very loud, and there was obviously a tinge in his tone.
"Call Uncle!"
As soon as Alan heard Cobb's name for Locke, and then remembered the rumors, he felt inexplicable resentment in his heart, and glared at him angrily, which made Cobb a little overwhelmed for a while.
Then, he turned his head to look at Locke, and said in a tone of pretending to be reproachful: "And you, Uncle Locke, you teach swordsmanship well, what's the matter if you don't have to be vindictive?
"No, young master, I'm afraid ......"
"What are you afraid of? I'm not afraid of what you're afraid of? You just teach well, don't control it, I'll pay for the medical expenses if the teaching is bad!"
Since Alan has ordered this, Locke naturally has to obey, "Okay, young master, I will teach you well!"
Cobb, who had just walked in, didn't know what was going on, and the expression on his face changed from excitement to dazedness.
He is naïve, but not stupid, and if Locke fights him with his fighting spirit, he will definitely not be able to get up.
"Young Master, I'm ......"
"Let's go, Cobb, go ahead to the training ground, I'll teach you swordsmanship!"
Locke took a deep breath and jerked Cobb's arm and dragged him out.
"Young master, save me, young master......"
......
