Chapter 9: New Skills Get!
Charlotte returns to Gruyard and goes straight to the priest Charlie Sr.
"Oh, Reverend Charlie, I've gotten rid of that beast that plagued the crops, and these pig's ears have been specially brought to you for drink......"
"Mother Earth protects you! It's wonderful......" Charlotte didn't know if old Charlie was talking too well, referring to the princess who had rid the scourge of the crops, or the pig's ears that had been given to him for wine. In short, Charlotte got the hard leather armor he deserved.
"Tough crusty armor (white), cuirasse, leather armor. Defense 10 points, durability 47/50. ”
This crusty armor has 2 more defense and 20 more durability than other ones on the market. That's why it has a "tough" prefix.
The quality of the things produced by the temple is far from the similar products in the supermarket, just like my Great Celestial Empire, and the munitions must be better.
Charlotte finished the mission, rested for two days, and went to the training ground for intensive training according to the previous agreement with the guard instructor John.
The training ground is actually an abandoned threshing floor, a whole compacted flat land, which was previously used to dry crops and peel wheat.
September is barely considered a busy farming season, so I was arranged to train. But in fact, if you want to be full in this world, you have to be busy all year round.
Industrious people don't necessarily have a good life, but lazy people do go hungry. It's the same in any world.
The town's guards need a month-long training camp in September to maintain their combat effectiveness. And there are quite a few young people who will participate. One is that the town wants to cultivate more reserves with a foundation, so as to replenish fresh blood for the guards. The second is that this world is not very safe, and there is no harm in learning more self-protection skills.
John was a former city guard in Helsin, where he served for 24 years. Although he did not become a captain because he failed to advance to the bronze rank, his comrades-in-arms at the same time changed one after another, and only he returned to his hometown, which shows that he does have some skills.
John is now 48 years old, which is a lot of age for ordinary people in this world, so he returned to his hometown of Gruyar with his severance pay.
He was an idle man, and at the invitation of the mayor of the town, he became a guard instructor, imparting some combat experience and qualities, and arranging some training.
John was a man of ability, and his training was very effective. After his training, the strength of the guards has improved considerably. The death rate of the guards in recent years has been very low, and no wild goblin tribe dares to harass Gruyar anymore. It can be said that John has contributed a lot.
His training was very formal, according to him, this was the training he received back then, plus the experience he had accumulated over the years as a soldier.
He took special care of Charlotte, and he once said to Charlotte: "You are very good in physical fitness, you are simply a natural warrior. Work hard, I think you'll be able to hit the bronze in three years! It's just that you're not trained to play to your full potential. I will lay a solid foundation for you so that you will go further. ”
Xia Luo knows his own affairs, before he crossed over, he was an ordinary dick, no different from thousands of dick youths.
Although he has a strong ability to accept and adapt, and he has a golden finger when he crosses over, he mixes well and does not go to the street to beg. But that's about it.
He is not a descendant of the ancient Chinese boxing method, not a soldier king, a killer, a devil or something. The fight is all about physical fitness, slashing and chopping, and wild boars are rolling all over the ground......
The first thing John gave Charlotte was one-handed swordsmanship, which was only the most basic one-handed sword usage, but it was exactly what Charlotte lacked. At least he knew what kind of attack to use in what situation, and he also knew the correct posture and power to exert force.
From this, he gained a white skill [Basic Swordsmanship], and then: long sword, short sword, dagger, axe, spear, bow, flail, mace...... There are even fishing nets and one-handed scythes!
According to John, "You don't know when the battle is going to happen, you don't know what you're doing when the fight is going to happen, you have some guys on hand." These are the common weapons you'll encounter in later adventures, don't underestimate them, I've used them in battle for each. ”
“…… A lot of times you can't choose your own weapon, and then you'll be glad you've trained so hard. There were several times when I picked up the nearest guy to fight, and I was able to save my life......"
"Then you can't learn scythes and forks, do you? Could it be that I will be attacked by wild goblins while I am working in the fields? ”
"You know the! Once, our team was patrolling a village and was suddenly attacked by wild goblins. They were very cunning in their nets, and there were so many hooks on them that I lost my shield and sword. I grabbed the fork on the haystack and continued the fight. Don't say it, it's very useful to stick a fork into the wild goblins, they are short and have short hands, and they can't reach me at all. I killed 4 ...... in that battle."
"And I've heard that there is an advanced class for warriors called weapon masters, and you need to be proficient in more than a dozen weapons to get a job! If I hadn't chosen to be an adventurer when I was defending the people of Helsin, I might have been an advanced weapon master! ”
"Huh? Didn't it mean that because the welfare of the guards was very good at that time, they chose one to be a guard? ”
"No, no, no! Last time, Instructor John said that he had left one as a guard to fight against the evil underground forces! ”
"It's a good thing you don't have an advanced weapon master, otherwise you wouldn't have changed your name to Jax! When the time comes, use a street lamp as a weapon, turn on the electric fan, and jump on whoever you catch......"
Old John had a very bluffing face, but those who knew him well knew that he was no different from the old peasants in the fields, and he liked to brag with a dry cigarette.
And because I've seen the world, it's dark to blow. Where have those young people seen this formation? They were all amazed, and rallied firmly in front of old John, listening to him tell about his glorious deeds of those years.
Although John Sr. was sometimes fond of boasting about his "glorious deeds", he did play with all the weapons that were commonly found on the market, and he hoped that Charlotte would inherit that.
So he arranged more than 3 times the amount of training for Charlotte than the others. At the end of the last month of training, Charlotte's white skill [Basic Swordsmanship] changed to a green skill [Military Weapon Mastery].
"Military weapons master (green), passive skills, you can skillfully use common weapons and play their role. Notes: Congratulations, you've reached the point where you can pick up the folding stool under your butt and get in and out of the brawl crowd! ”
And Charlotte has an even bigger gain, he discovers a big secret while learning from people! It turns out that you don't have to kill the target to gain experience! Experience can also be gained by simply defeating!
Isn't it possible for you to brush up on experience indefinitely? When the time comes, you will go out to the rivers and lakes and kill the Quartet! Stand out from the crowd! Isn't it beautiful!
At the time, Charlotte thought she had discovered a loophole in the Vientiane card system. However, according to the big dictionary, the answer is:
"You don't look good, but you think it's pretty beautiful! Don't lose track of your time! I consciously found a bug, so I said, "The toad wants to eat swan meat...... Like you, a sharp-beaked monkey gills, you should also pee and take care of yourself! No, no, no, I just want to eat swan fart!"
……
Later, Charlotte discovers that defeating the target can only gain half the experience of the kill, and the second defeat can only gain half the experience of the first defeat, and so on......
Even so, Charlotte did not give up on her plan to brush up on experience. Half is half, no matter how small the mosquito legs are, it is also meat! What else do you need for a bicycle? Think of it as a skill brush for proficiency. Thereupon......
"Pete, shall we have a competition?"
"Tal, come on, come on, practice with me!"
"Carter, come and compare with me......"
……
"Congratulations, you've earned the D-Rank achievement: Challenge the Mad (Green). Complete 300 challenges in a month. Rewards: 100 XP, 10 Destiny Points, 10 Gruyar Fame. ”
And what made Charlotte feel most worthwhile about her trip was John's story. He has been a soldier in Helsin City for 24 years, from patrol to city gate guards, from city guards to security teams, he can be said to have served all the soldiers who can be soldiers in the black iron rank.
Helsing, the number one city in Norfolk, has a permanent population of 80,000 or 90,000. The nobility and luxury, the nobles and luxuries of the Kingdom of the Stars to the east, the mountain people and curiosities of Albion to the west, the rangers and rebels of the Ampton region to the south, and the profiteers and slaves of the Free Lands to the north...... What hasn't Old John seen?
Although John Sr. was only the most ordinary low-level soldier in Helsin, his insight should not be underestimated. Charlotte learned from his story how extravagant the proud aristocracy was; I know how the seemingly omnipotent Dharma Master is feared; Knowing that the Land of Freedom, a place that claims to be free, is a slave legal area; I know how ancient and noble the Star Royal Family is......
And how dangerous the world is! There are hungry beasts in the wild, countless goblins and kobolds, scavengers and ghouls born from the accumulation of corpses, and hordes of bandits and routs.
“…… You have to be extra careful of deserters and routs in the wilderness, who have fled the army for various reasons. Entrenched in the wilderness, scourge passers-by and caravanserais. Their methods are sometimes even more brutal than those of the alien race. And most of them are militarily trained and can do basic coordination. They are much more dangerous than wild goblins! ”
“…… If you come across an inn in the wild, be sure to keep your eyes open and watch every detail carefully. I've heard more than once that a wild inn was found murdering for money......"
It was only at this time that Charlotte began to miss my Great Heavenly Empire, although he didn't say that he didn't leave the road behind and didn't close his door at night, but he could ensure that his life was not threatened. This world is good, and you will die at every turn. Wild goblins and kobolds are to die, robbers and routers are to die, wild beasts and monsters are to be killed, and you are to die when you go out and stay in a hotel......
Fortunately, I have a golden finger, otherwise I would be a fart! Don't stand on the roof of the house on a rainy day and try if the thunder can be split back.
……
Charlotte has ended her one-month training career, and plans to enter the Silver Pine Forest again, so that she can test her strength with her old enemy Wild Goblin. However, while Gruyar was replenishing supplies for survival in the wilderness, he heard a message.
Someone has seen Bailu again! And not all at once. Several hunters claimed to have seen the white deer, and it was not in a very good state, as if it was injured......
Bailu is in trouble! Charlotte's heart sank. If it hadn't been for Bailu's rescue, he would have become a piece or several pieces of poop for the wild goblins. Now that Bailu is in trouble, can he stand by and watch?
Charlotte remembered what she had heard while chatting with John:
“…… I heard that in some places, the magic is extraordinarily condensed, and spirits and spirits are produced. ”
"Huh? So elves weren't born of elves? ”
"Not the elves with long ears! It is the spirit of nature. It's like a fairy in the lake, a tree guard in the tree, a forest spirit, a pike spirit and something like that......"
"Oh, what does the fairy in the lake look like? Isn't it good-looking? ”
"Don't ask me, I haven't seen it either. But you, you should have seen it. ”
"Me? When have I seen it? How did I not know? ”
"Yes, you have. It's the white deer in the silver pine forest! My grandfather had just established Gruyar at that time, and at that time someone had seen the white deer with a white light. Everyone says it is the spirit born of the Silver Pine Forest. It is the protector of the silver pine forest......"
Once when Charlotte was about to die, it was Bailu who appeared and saved his life. That's when Charlotte landed in the world.
Now that this spirit of the Silver Pine Forest is in trouble, it's time to repay the favor! If you have revenge, you will revenge, and you will repay your kindness!
