The Ice Peak Fortress is full of people, everyone has managed to survive another year, and they have also achieved an excellent rating in the inspection, no matter which is worth celebrating. It's not enough to sing and dance, it's certain to eat seas. Everyone shared with each other the stories that happened to them after the separation, and laughed in the tug-of-war of bragging and uncovering the cowhide.

At this time, Feige forgot for a moment that he was from another world, and he only felt that he was no different from other people, like a friend who had known each other for many years, or even a relative who he trusted absolutely himself. The material richness of this world cannot be compared to that of the earth, but it makes no difference when it comes to satisfying people's emotional needs. He did not drink, but he was a little drunk, and even when he went to the vigil before leaving the feast, his steps were swaying.

The only pity is that when the mountain wind blows away the clouds in the sky and reveals the night sky made of unfamiliar stars, the loneliness will reappear. This feeling, like the devil hidden under his human soul, has a tenacious vitality and powerful influence.

The joy faded quickly, and the mood quickly rolled down from the top of the mountain to the valley. Fortunately, the black cat felt the change in his owner's mood, and although he couldn't figure out why, he knew how to make him better. Rub your ankles on the top of your head, then gently let your master pick him up, and don't scratch him when he is entrenched over his head, and everything is settled.

After calming down, Feige can think about his family's problems. In my memory, I had a castle in my family, but I basically didn't go there, but lived in a manor outside the city of Tawu Port, the capital of the principality. It was a winery with more than 60 servants and more than 20 samurai protection, not to mention comfort and safety, and a small temple of the goddess of truth and thunder, unique in the entire metropolitan area, for the use of her own family.

Fitch Hall is the second son in the family, with an older brother and a younger brother and a younger sister below. Fitch plus his older brother Andrew and younger sister Felipa were born to the same mother, while his younger brother Langdon actually came from his uncle's family. Wilder Hall, who was accidentally wounded in a knightly duel, died leaving only one unborn son, and his wife also had a difficult birth after giving birth to a child. So the Kanter Hall, the Templar and the royal earl, adopted the child to him and raised him himself.

Because they are blood relatives and have grown up together since childhood, the four children will not distinguish this small difference at all, everyone is a family. In Feige's more distant memories, the men mostly played together, until the eldest brother began training as a Templar and he began to degenerate, that they were separated.

According to his father's arrangement, the eldest brother trained to become a Templar, and he himself also learned knightly skills for a while. But except for horseback riding, everything else I learned during that time was basically forgotten, and only alchemy could still be remembered clearly. After that, the memories were intermittent and messy, and there were too many alchemical poisons and demonic influences in them, and nothing useful could be found.

"Drunkenness, dreaming and dying is equal to living in vain. Feige shook his head, giving up trying to find answers from the past. Based on what happened after the crossing, it was clear that Count Hall was a man with a plan, a means, and an arrangement, and did a lot of things that were beneficial to Feige. At least Feige thinks about it from his own perspective, if he is replaced, he will definitely not be able to do it so meticulously. But it would have been better if he had told him the purpose.

Feige could only guess that it had something to do with the Model Collar, but with his class, he didn't have access to any more information about the Model Collar. But since it is a "model leader" and a territory, it is inseparable from the things of lords, officials, soldiers and lords. "Maybe I can become a lord too?" Feige certainly wished, and he pondered questions like "how am I going to manage my territory?" For hours, he was immersed in such questions.

After a while of "from village chief to king" addiction, Feige dragged himself back to reality. In reality, he is a young man who is not qualified in combat and has just "discovered" magic, and he is not even his own body, and it is useless to think so much. At this time, only being down-to-earth is the only way out, thinking about becoming a big lord, it is better to think more about how to fish out the gold in the moat.

Surely he can't go down now, Old Man Kiplin may still have something to do with him, otherwise why arrange a vigil for him today? Feige waited, waited, waited and waited, looked at the lights of the castle from time to time, counted who was still awake and who was still asleep, and from time to time crossed the city wall and glanced down, trying to find the figure of the "treasure chest" in the dark river. As a result, no one came to him for the whole night, perhaps Lord Snowy Owl had forgotten about him.

Even the next day, the old man didn't mention this stubble, how it should be. Why? Feige was confused and wanted to ask but didn't know how to speak. He deliberately shook in front of the old man a few times, hoping to "trigger the dialogue", but only triggered the task of "full training".

While the personnel are in order, training is put in the first place, and it is the most important thing to let the new members master the martial arts and meditation methods as soon as possible, so that everyone can grow. Needless to say, Feige was very proactive in his training. In fact, the atonement and confession pastor is also a direction of development, but Feige feels that it is too "civilian", far less than more force, and it is the real ability to protect himself. And he also cares a lot about how to increase his mana.

"Mana" is a general term, not to say that you have a blue "oil gauge" on your body, and you can know "how much and how much is left". Mana and physical strength are concepts that appear in pairs, physical strength refers to the control and mastery of the body, and mana is the control and mastery of the thinking ability.

Whether you can find problems (keenness), whether you can solve problems (thinking), and whether you can stay vigilant (focused) are all mana-related training items in the meditation technique of the Eagle School. The caster, on the other hand, also needs to carry out targeted exercises according to the different requirements of spells, magic circles and rituals, so that the mind can work faster, which is also part of mana.

Whether it's physical strength or mana, it requires a lot of repetitive training, and there is no second way to go. Some of them were very innovative, while others were very "clumsy". Although Feige brought a lot of physical training and mental training methods from the experience of his previous life, he had "seen" and not "practiced", and he didn't know if he could adapt to the requirements of this world, so he closed his mouth and obediently did it.

In terms of physical training, he performed about the same as Ramsden, but he was not as good as Tron and Wu Mama. However, when it comes to mana training, he is far ahead. On the one hand, he has a "foundation in alchemy", and on the other hand, the accumulation of knowledge from his previous life and the training of exam-oriented education have played a very good auxiliary role in mana training.

Just over a week later, when the water level in the moat began to drop slightly, and Feiqi's mana level increased considerably, an unexpected, familiar guest suddenly arrived. Feige's maid, Eddie, disguised as a boy again, arrived at the gates of the Ice Peak Fortress with two wagons and a team of mercenaries.

The mercenaries were only here to escort them, and they took the pay from Eddie and left, leaving the van and Eddie behind. Inside a wagon are four oak barrels, and judging by the inscriptions on the metal seals, they must be good wines of great value. Another wagon was loaded with eight chests of various sizes, some containing metal parts, some with books, and a full box of alchemical tools and raw materials.

"One of the chests is your armor. I've never used it since I made it, but I sent it this time. ”

"Things don't matter, I just want to know why you came? And why did the escorted mercenaries leave, aren't you leaving?"

"Young Master, I was also exiled. Eddie stuck out his tongue: "When I was found out that I was a girl, the Earl was very angry and kicked me out of the house." If the Ice Peak Fortress doesn't want me, then I really don't have a place to go. ”

"Huh?" Feige was stunned for a moment, then realized that something was wrong. "Can exile carry things by himself, did the Count find out that you were a woman, or did he already know?"

"I don't know how it was found. The Earl was very angry when he found out, and my father was also punished, and he was no longer the chief steward. Fortunately, thanks to the Countess's intercession, I was not beaten and the matter did not spread. Everything was prepared by Madame, and my last task was to bring them all. After that, I was homeless!"

"Looks like you're not worried at all......"

"Icepeak Fortress isn't as good as Earl's Manor, but it's pretty good, and I don't have to pretend to be a man here—it seems like everyone has a way of seeing it. And women are also housed here, as long as they can pass training. Wow, that's the monster huntress Silkna! I've heard Kiplin-sama mention it. ”

Feige didn't believe these claims, and the only thing he was sure of was that his father, the esteemed Earl, must have had some plans and arrangements. So he held out his hand to Eddie, "Take it out, where is the letter? At least there's a reply?"

Eddie lifted the placket and pulled out two letters from the inner lining. One for Old Man Kiplin, and the other for Feige. "Both letters were written by Madame. ”

"My father doesn't have anything to say?"

Eddie shook his head. "I sent your letter back, and Madame wept profusely, and the Earl was always very serious, and only let me go home, and said nothing else. After two weeks, I was kicked out and kept on my way. ”

"Are you sure you haven't hidden any letters, like last time, and I have to wait until I meet certain conditions before I can take them out?"

Eddie shook his head again, especially hard.

Looking at this expression, it looks like "there are no three hundred taels of silver here". Moreover, there are many loopholes in her statement, and the so-called "exile" must not be believed. Is Feige's exile because he chemically castrated the duke's son, and Eddie's exile because he disguised himself as a man?

Counting Eddie, this is the third wave of Earl Hall to send people to Icepeak Fortress - the first wave is naturally Feige, and the second wave is Sisina and Mohm. Feige was curious about what made the Templars and the Royal Earl so interested, and it certainly wouldn't be as simple as Ice Peak Fortress and Model Leader. In terms of speaking, what is the difference between your own castle and territory and the fortress in front of you?

With a doubt, Feige opened the letter and tried to find the answer inside. However, there is only one mother's care and longing in it, and the entrustment to let Feige take care of himself, all affectionate and without scheming. Feige stared at Eddie in response, with a wink. It seems that there is no "trigger condition", she will never say it.

Perhaps because of this, Earl Hall would be relieved that she would carry out the mission.

"If you really don't have anywhere to go, stay here. But you'd better reconsider joining Monster Hunter. ”

"I can also wash clothes, cook, arrange flowers and plants, feed horses, and keep accounts and write letters. ”

"Except for writing letters, everything else is Ramsden's, you ......" Feige thought of the gold that was still sinking in the moat, and it needed a stern-mouthed man to deal with it. So he waved his hand and said, "It's okay, even if you don't do anything, I can keep you fed and clothed, don't worry." ”

For the first time, Eddie looked horrified.

Why is that? Fei Qi was confused, and it seemed that his mana training would continue to be strengthened.
