At the training site, a dense crowd was surrounding the execution table, and Nick was naked, and his hands were hung from the execution table with thick hemp ropes.

Taylor approached Nick with a wooden stick in his hand and motioned for Nick to bite, but Nick shook his head and refused.

Seeing this, Taylor didn't persuade much, only to see him slowly walk behind Nick with a thick braid in his hand, and then wave his hands vigorously.

"Smack. Nick's swarthy back instantly appeared with a blood streak, and blood continued to gush out.

"Shhh The crowd gasped.

Sean frowned, and his heart twitched, he knew that another person would be executed, and with Taylor's upright character, he would definitely not release water because of Nick's strength and merits.

Nick, who was hanging on the execution table, was also trembling all over, dense sweat appeared on his back, and the blood stains were exacerbated by the sweat. But he didn't scream, and his clenched fists burst out.

The sound of "pop, snap, snap" kept coming, and Sean felt a chill on his back in this sultry weather.

As the whipping continued, Nick's clenched fists had been released, and the whole person was paralyzed, but because his hands were hanging, the whole person hung in the air, and only the corners of his mouth made a faint soft grunt.

Finally, the flogging was over, and Sean hurriedly stepped forward to help Nick up, only to see Nick's face turned pale and dense sweat dripping from his face. Nick wanted to say something, but due to physical strength, he didn't say it.

"Hurry up and let go of the rope, Taylor, and you arrange for someone to get a jar of distilled spirit. Sean looked at the hideous whip marks on Nick's back, and he could imagine Nick's pain now, and he felt that the punishment on Sean Island in the future must be carried out with his approval.

Nick seemed to ease up a little, and said softly: "Lord Lord, don't worry, it's just a little physical pain, and it's not in the way." ”

Taylor looked at Sean's worried look: "Lord Lord, Nick is right, it's just some temporary pain in the flesh, the wound looks terrifying, but with the strong physical fitness of the Golden Swordsman, the wound will heal soon." ”

"That's good, Nick, you have to recover well during this time, and there are more important things to do on the island in the future. Taylor, you will inform Duru later, and ask Duru to arrange for servants to disinfect Nick's wounds regularly with distilled spirits before they heal. ”

"Yes, my lord. ”

Sean returned to the castle after finishing his training grounds, and his head kept replaying the scene of the whip swinging.

"It's too ruthless. ”

Island: Sean Island

Grade: Black Iron Advanced

Consular people: 1,918 people

Wealth: 585 gold, 47 silver, 67 bronze (castle)

Merit Points: 10 (Evolve, Strengthen)

Treasures: Yanyuan fruit trees, Nazang gourds

In addition to the island's upgrade from Black Iron Intermediate to Advanced, the gold coins skyrocketed by more than five hundred, and the population also increased by 31 people. Thinking of the ragged women I saw on the deck earlier, I couldn't help but sigh.

"There are unfortunate people in every world. ”

......

At the island's blacksmith shop, Sean interrupted Morey, who was working a hammer: "How are the knight's armor and knight's spear made?"

Hearing this, Morey hurriedly stopped what he was doing to greet Sean.

"Lord Lord, the knight's spear has been fully built, and the knight's armor has not been completed for the time being due to the large number of parts and the many precision parts involved, but 11 pieces have been completed, and there are still 9 pieces left before your request. "Morey's face was burned red because of the fire.

"This should be accelerated, you can recruit a few more apprentices and share your work. In addition, you can find a time to consult with Taylor, or go to the savannah to observe the unicorn yourself, and build a set of unicorn armor according to the specifications of the unicorn. ”

"This ......," Morey continued after a moment's hesitation, "I don't know what your lordship asks for. ”

"Protect the unicorn from as many angles as possible without affecting the unicorn charge. "Sean doesn't know much about horse armor.

"I see, it's just that this armor may consume a lot of iron ore, I don't know if the iron ore in the castle can support it?" Morey thought back to the size of the unicorn in his heart, and already had a rough plan in his mind.

In his heart, in fact, the most complicated thing is the knight's armor, because there are more joints in the human body, and there are more factors to consider. Compared with unicorns, if it just does not affect the charge, the armor is not very difficult to manufacture, but the consumption of iron ore is also very terrifying.

"Don't worry about the consumption of iron ore, I'll figure this out. ”

"Yes, my lord. ”

"Taylor, you arrange these knight guns and knight armor to train as soon as possible"

"Follow your plan and get the Knights of Thorns accustomed to the new weapons and armor as soon as possible. “

"Taylor, there are so few black iron swordsmen on Sean Island at present, I am worried that if Yan Yuanguo results a few more times, after the black iron swordsmen on Sean Island are all promoted to silver swordsmen, there will be a fault in the black iron swordsmen. ”

"Is it possible to use the salt yuan fruit to speed up the advancement of the swordsman team?If the effectiveness of a salt yuan fruit is too strong, then divide it into several or dozens of servings?" Because of the existence of the salt yuan fruit, Sean was not too worried about the number of silver swordsmen, but more worried about the lack of black iron swordsmen.

After hearing this, Taylor hurriedly shook his head: "Lord Lord, this idea is unrealistic, the reason why the swordsman team can't advance to the Black Iron Swordsman is mainly because they can't digest the Dou Qi seeds infused in the body, if you take the Salt Yuan Fruit at this time, not only can you not break through, but due to the increase in Dou Qi, it will be more difficult to digest, and it may even cause the Dou Qi to run violent and endanger your life." ”

After listening to Taylor's words, Sean sighed in disappointment, he really worked hard for the improvement of Sean Island's military strength.

"Lord Lord, I have an idea, maybe it will work, but since there was no salt yuan fruit before, this method did not work much. ”

"Tell me about it. ”

"Expand the size of the swordsman squad, no longer limited to school-age teenagers, and raise the age standard to under 25 years old. After a period of training, batch infusion of Dou Qi seeds, two months later, if you successfully digest the Dou Qi seeds to become a Black Iron Swordsman, you will officially become a member of the Island Thorn Knights, and if you can't digest it, you will be expelled from the swordsman team. ”

"It was not implemented according to this standard before, because the older the lord, the less potential there is, and perhaps the highest achievement in a lifetime is the Black Iron Swordsman. But now due to the existence of the salt yuan fruit, it may be possible to raise this upper limit to a silver swordsman, or even a golden swordsman. It's just that the burden and consumption of the islands will intensify. Taylor simply reported the plan in his head to Sean, and the decision was up to Sean.

"Okay, very good, just do it like this. Taylor, you follow this plan and immediately screen suitable candidates on the island, as for the burden and consumption of the island, don't worry. ”

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away. ”
