Chapter 8: Leapfrogging

"What, Uncle Marcus is hurt!"

Charles looked at Eve in shock, no matter what, he didn't expect that Uncle Marcus's strength of a hundred enemies would be injured because of the twilight forest medicine.

A hundred enemies, the other party can slaughter hundreds of robbers single-handedly, and he will be injured at the edge of the twilight forest, this is completely unimaginable in his opinion!

After receiving Eve's briefing, he hurried out of the study and headed for the manor chamber.

After Charles entered, he glanced at the stout man sitting to the left of the baron, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

The other party had a new hideous scar on his face, and the black armor on his body had been scratched a deep mark, but he did not suffer any fatal injuries, and nodded in greeting after seeing him come in.

"It looks like there will be war again." The baron sat in his seat with a gloomy face, glanced at him and frowned, "Charles, you are the heir of the family, no matter what the situation, you have to stay calm, what do you look like in a panic?" ”

"Yes, Father!" Charles hurriedly bowed his head in agreement.

"Sit down and listen honestly." The baron apparently intended to involve him in family affairs,

Simon, the silver-haired, but straight-headed old butler, said abruptly, "The barbarian has actually crossed the twilight forest, and it seems that the plan is very big. ”

"What are you afraid of, we didn't fight with them ten years ago, a bunch of waste. If it weren't for the sneak attack, it wouldn't have hurt me! Marcus licked his lips, and his stiff face no longer had the gentle smile he had before, like an enraged bear.

The baron still had a calm face, his right hand unconsciously tapped on the table, making a crisp sound, and calmly gave an order: "Simon, send someone to inform the Westspring Fortress and Stormhaven, we must prepare in advance!" ”

"Yes, sir." Simon didn't take his seat, he stood straight behind the baron, leaned down and whispered, "Master, do you want to invite Patriarch Black and Patriarch Birrell to come to the meeting, our three families are allies after all." ”

The Black family is none other than Field's family, responsible for garrisoning the Westspring Fortress and holding thousands of troops.

The Birrell family is located in the back of Shining Gold Town, and the three major families are in the same spirit, and they have already formed a strong affection, and even the heirs of the family have played together since childhood.

"Don't worry about it for the time being, the Nanban that Marcus met should be the scout of the other party, just to spy on intelligence." The baron waved his hand, his face not the slightest nervous, and his voice became more and more gloomy.

"The Twilight Forest isn't that easy to get through, and there's nothing the Stormtroon can do. If those barbarians want to cross, they must pay the price of more than half of their deaths. After waiting for it, only the remnants of the defeated army remained, and there was nothing to fear. ”

"It's really an eventful time, Miss Liya has gone to the back of Faun County to encircle and suppress the Liukou, and there is another change in the Nanban, and the upper princes of the empire are ......"

"Don't talk about that!" Before Marcus could finish speaking, the baron suddenly interrupted in a cold voice, and the power on his body became stronger and stronger, "I don't care what happens elsewhere, no one can fight against me in Shining Gold Town!" ”

"Marcus, you pick out a group of people from the miners to train, and strive to form a certain combat effectiveness as soon as possible."

"Simon, you send someone to Stormhaven to buy a batch of weapons and equipment, don't be afraid of the cost, the last thing I need to guard the gold mine is gold coins!"

The two of them nodded in agreement, and then the baron looked at Charles who was sitting there honestly, and a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

"Charles, if you continue to study hard, you must pass the assessment of the Imperial Royal Academy for me!"

"Yes, Father." Charles was shocked and hurriedly agreed.

The baron showed a hint of approval: "You want to practice martial arts with a good idea, let Marcus make a detailed training plan for you, don't be lazy and tempered." ”

"I will." Charles nodded.

With the modulator in hand, he is completely worthy of these exercises, and if he can't hold on, he can also consume evolution points to directly improve his attributes.

"Eat more meat when practicing martial arts, recently the patrol has hunted a lot of timberwolves and forest bears, bear paws and bear bile can be eaten casually. What do you want to eat, ask your little maid to inform Anna and see how thin you have become now. The baron continued.

Charles nodded, then stood up and saluted, bowing his head slightly.

Marcus also walked out of the conference hall, stretched out his big fan-like palm and patted him lightly on the shoulder: "Little young master, don't worry too much, it's just a few barbarian miscellaneous soldiers." ”

"I'm the one who bothered you." Charles felt a little embarrassed.

"Haha, what is this, if I don't go to collect medicine, I won't be able to find those mongrels." Marcus let out a hearty laugh, which immediately touched the wound on his face, making his smile stop abruptly, gritting his teeth and saying in annoyance, "That bastard bastard actually hid in the water and sneaked attack, otherwise Lao Tzu would not have been injured!" ”

Without waiting for Charles to say anything, he instantly recovered and said, "I've picked enough herbs, I'll go to Lao Niu in a wait and ask him to prepare a medicinal bath for you, and it is estimated that you will be able to use it tomorrow." ”

After saying that, he left in a hurry, and Charles stayed where he was for a while, and he thought a lot of things from the previous conversation between the three of them.

To the southwest of the fortress is the endless wilderness of Vagour, where many nomadic peoples live, many of whom are uncivilized barbarians and even cannibal tribes.

These nomads lived in no fixed place, living by water, and had harassed the borders of the empire many times in history.

Ten years ago, the Storm Legion, led by General Blake, drove 800 miles to the opposing camp, slaughtering tens of thousands of barbarians.

Unexpectedly, less than ten years later, there were barbarians peeping at the border, and it was indeed a group of barbarians who did not know whether to live or die.

The Shire's greatest fear was that in the event of a large-scale barbarian invasion, the forces of the Ishiquan Fortress would not be able to stop it. When the time comes, if Stormstorm Harbor is not in a hurry to help, then Shining Gold Town will definitely be looted and slaughtered!

If it comes to that time, he, the little young master, will be miserable, and before he can enjoy the life of the young master for a few days, he will have to wander around......

By the next night, Marcus had brought the potion.

One pale jar of liquid was taken orally, and another large jar was poured into the steaming tub, and the other party picked him up with one hand and put him into the tub.

"Hot! Scald! Chardon screamed, and the skin on his body instantly turned red, like a boiled prawn.

Not only that, but he also felt a stream of heat rising from his stomach and bursting towards his limbs, and he could clearly feel the changes in his body.

"Little master, soak for a while, the longer you soak, the more fully you absorb." Marcus said with a wicked look at him, the wound on his face had already scarred and peeled off, and pink flesh had grown.

Charles forcibly endured the heat inside and out, and summoned the interface with a single thought.

"Spirit 1.8, Strength 0.6, Constitution 0.6, Agility 0.7."

At this time, on the interface, in addition to the spiritual attributes, the other three attributes began to flicker slightly, and there was also a line of small text below:

"Absorb external energy, strengthen the middle ...... of the main body"

The medicated bath lasted for more than an hour, and Marcus had hot water constantly added until his skin was completely white, only to stop and let him come out of it.

"Spirit 1.8, Strength 0.7, Constitution 0.7, Agility 0.8."

The three major attributes were all increased by 0.1, which made him secretly praise that he had not used evolution points recklessly before.

Eve came up to serve him and dressed, her little face flushed, and she didn't dare to look at him closely.

"Little master, you can enjoy the taste of a man." Marcus winked his eyebrows, then laughed and left.

Charles smiled awkwardly, the girl next to him was already blushing and dripping blood, and he shook his head to let him go.

In his opinion, the other party was the same as the little girl in junior high school in his previous life, too young for him to start......

In the next five days, he took five more medicinal baths, and he was already so resistant to the medicine that he could no longer increase his stats.

"Spirit 1.8, Strength 0.9, Constitution 0.9, Agility 1.1."

He glanced at the attribute panel, focused his gaze on the skill bar below, and with a movement of his mind, the totem drawing skill appeared, and said to himself: "Since the conditions are met, let's directly increase the level." ”

The evolution point brush began to decline, and the level words behind the skill also began to change, jumping from entry level, to mastery level, and directly to master level!

"Totem Drawing: Mastery."

"Hmm, I actually consumed 6 evolution points at once!" Charles frowned, he had only 0.5 evolution points from the beginner to the beginner, and now it had multiplied several times at once.

However, this is worth it, and the modulator has made him go from a layman who is completely ill with cartography to a cartographer in just a few days, and he can completely engage in totem repair work. Let him only sigh:

The modulator is worthy of a plug-in!

As the level of totem drawing increased, a warm current swam through his body, finally concentrating on his hands.

He felt that his hands were becoming more and more dexterous, and he could make all kinds of incredible movements casually, as if every finger had life!

After getting used to it, Charles opened the notebook, and all the basic inheritance factors recorded in it were easily drawn by him.

A strange smile appeared on his face: "Next, it's time to meet my cheap teacher!" ”
