Chapter Seventy-Four: Departure Again. Chance encounters
Looking at the young man in front of him, who was two years younger than him, sweating profusely, Tiger immediately put down the stone lock and walked over - little Tom, the boy who was originally in the Sass Harbor Lighthouse, after the last Sass Harbor pirate invasion, found the devil alone and did not cry, and began training with them; However, because of the lack of foundation, it has been taught by His Excellency Darlan himself until now.
After all, whether it is a teenager or those instructors; The former did not have enough teaching experience, and the latter was completely inseparable from Maury's 'fund-raising strategy' - although Linenex was ready to teach the boy himself, but because of the practice before teaching them that special skill, Linenex had to give up in the end, and finally was taught by Lord Darlan himself.
Lucky guy!
Escaping the teachings of the eldest sister and being taught by the kind Lord Darlan, all the teenagers had an early evaluation of this new member - all the teenagers believed that if it was taught by their eldest sister, this new member would definitely not last more than a month; Not speculation, but certainty; These teenagers have been completely frightened by the arcing young witches, and the addition of the respect from childhood makes all the teenagers feel like mice and cats when they see the young witches.
Although he didn't go through this with these teenagers, little Tom was not a fool, and every time he saw his peers look at that girl, he instinctively felt scared - little Tom, who was not very bold himself, tried to bypass each other every time during these days, and even stayed away from the underground training ground, and followed closely behind Darlan; Even if he had to come down to report this time, he chose to stay away from the young witch witch.
"Master Darlan is waiting for you!"
Little Tom, who was standing in the corner, peeked and didn't notice the young witch here, and immediately beckoned to Tiger, signaling the other party to speed up.
"Actually, the eldest sister's head is not as terrible as you imagined!"
Looking at Little Tom's cautious appearance, Tiger couldn't help but laugh.
"I just don't want to be shocked!"
When Tom replied, he looked like he was apprehensive - the fear of the young witches was not just the guidance of the teenagers' expressions. and what he saw with his own eyes; Little Tom will never forget the boy who wailed for his mistakes under the blue arc; And he also doesn't want to be the other party, whether it's the abuser or the torturer.
"As long as you don't make mistakes, you'll be fine!" Patting the new member's shoulder hard, Tiger showed a kind smile to the other party: "The eldest sister is usually very good!" ”
"So. I don't want to be punished by my eldest sister; Because. That only proves my incompetence! ”
As he spoke, little Tom quickened his pace of progress - his training had just begun, and he didn't want to waste his most important training moments on running errands; After all. He was already too far apart from the teenagers around him; If he didn't catch up, he wouldn't be able to catch up with them for the rest of his life.
It's not a fault that your strength is weak, but if you have the opportunity to enhance your strength, but you don't know how to grasp it, it's an unforgivable sin!
Although he did not understand this when the Lord Ava said it. But after coming here, he already vaguely understood that he didn't want to experience the helplessness of the lighthouse again, and he definitely had to seize this opportunity.
"Alright, alright, you hard worker!"
Spreading his palms and shrugging his shoulders, Tiger quickened his pace and followed behind the other - those who work hard will always be respected accordingly, and even more so when the devil does not cry; So even though Tom Jr. is the last person to join, in the eyes of all. Still one of the partners; At the very least, under the infection of Little Tom, everyone's enthusiasm for exercising has increased again; After all, if they were outnumbered by the last joiner, they would face nothing more than an electric shock from a young witch. Rather, self-esteem has been severely frustrated.
And this is definitely something that no one including Tiger wants to see - after the departure of Yeti, Datun, and Ava, Darlan has to take care of not only the training of the teenagers, but also the business of the bar and other miscellaneous things; The former wasn't a problem for the witcher, who had grown up in Shak, especially with a bar bartender on board. It's even more comfortable for Darlan, even if it's been a problem with the bar's operation lately. After the bartenders and others were all seconded by the black marketeers, it was just a matter of reading through some training records for Darlan.
The young witch has taken over the tasks of the bartender and the others, and as an apostle trained by Shak, the young witch is undoubtedly competent, and in some ways more suitable than the bartender and the others - after all, the training methods of the military and the witchers are basically the same, but they are completely different after the advancement; And what they need are witchers, not soldiers.
Therefore, with the help of the young witch witch, Darlan has a more thorough and clear grasp of the level of training of the teenagers - he casually put aside the recent training book reported by the young witch huntress, and Darlan has already begun to think about the next training arrangement for the teenagers; He didn't feel embarrassed about this Darlan, what he saw and heard in Shak, and his personal experience afterwards, was enough to make Darlan have a considerable plan.
However, his brows furrowed when he saw a document next to him, and a bitter smile that could not be concealed appeared at the corner of his mouth - this document, to be precise, is the ledger; There is a ledger of the overall expenses of the bar, including the teenagers and the remnants; The series of numbers on it was like a hypnotic symbol to Darlan, and every time he saw him, he was drowsy.
How did Datong and Maury overcome such drowsiness?
The big man couldn't help but shake his head when he thought of the two friends facing the ledger - although he couldn't operate the process of producing these numbers thoroughly and clearly, but through these numbers, the big man still knew that the operation of the bar was not good; The first two months were able to maintain a balanced range, but as the teenagers deepened their training, the gap in this Kimpton was getting bigger and bigger.
So big that he had to rely on bartenders and others to act as 'mercenaries' to maintain his extra expenses, and in this way, the black marketeer who was in charge of the final approval statistics still held his head and moaned every night, and the big man had to cut down on his food expenses and remove 'expensive' meat from his menu - in addition to that. There is no better way for a big man without any economic acumen; However, some risky ideas also do not appear in the minds of honest big men; For example: black eats black or robs. Robbing the Federal Bank or something.
And to the dark merchant who made such a suggestion was appropriately stopped - to the black marketeer who stared at the Commonwealth Bank with red eyes and pulled the bartender to plot something, the big man could only smile wryly. snatched the other party's plan. Prevent the other party's next behavior; He didn't want his friends to come back and see a number of wanted warrants from the highest government.
As for the success rate of black marketeers, etc.?
The confident bartender and the remnants of the same mentality, as well as the black marketeer who has become completely poor and crazy, meet together. This success rate is already a sure thing in the eyes of the big guys; Unless the Commonwealth Bank was on duty that day with a special squad of fierce ranks, it would be just an undefended vault - as long as you have hands and feet, you can move it slowly.
Although the black marketeer promised that he would never be detected, the big man still couldn't make such a decision - although deep down, he had similar thoughts. This is especially true when looking at ledgers; Still, reason still prevails; Let the big man understand what kind of trouble this will bring to his friends, and he will live up to his friends' trust in him.
Just, what should I do?
The big man looked at the negative numbers in the ledger in front of him, and couldn't help scratching his head - just now the black marketeer had already sent back a batch of Kimpton with the bartender, which solved their urgent need; But this batch of Kimptons, plus their original ones, can only last for about two weeks; And with Landingburgh, Saasport, and even a slightly more remote place like Fate, all of them being brought around by black merchants. There will be no acceptable orders for a long time to come; In other words, in two weeks, they will face the fate of the poor.
As for the income from the bar?
Being able to break even is already thankful for the big man, especially when he encounters a guy like Cyril who likes to take credit, which makes the big man want to swing his fist at the moment.
Do you really want to borrow money from the Northed family?
I thought of the suggestion made by the black marketeer before. The big man hesitated - if he borrowed money, the big man promised that the other party would lend it to him painfully, but it was not so easy to pay it back; Coupled with the words of his former friend Datong, the big man instinctively had a sense of vigilance against that family.
Singing when singing. But Nosd is Nosod, if confused. We will only suffer!
This is a sentence from the mouth of his friend Datong, and his other two friends, Ye Qi and Ava, also agree; Therefore, the big man is still hesitant about the only feasible proposal made by the black marketeer in front of him.
"Master Darlan!"
There was a knock at the door, and the big man let the other man in, and looked at the two teenagers in front of him, his frowning brow finally relaxed, and a characteristic honest smile appeared on his face again—because it was the teenagers in front of him who made him understand where his Kimpton had gone, and how much of a role it had played; It can be said that every time these teenagers improve, the big man will feel the value of those Kimptons.
"Little Tom keep up your training!"
"Yes!"
After hearing the big man's command, little Tom, who was already impatient, immediately put on the weight of his wrists and ankles, and began to practice the most basic push-ups in place - although the push-ups are simple, they are undoubtedly the most suitable for little Tom who has received basic training, not only to exercise his strength, but also to enable him to find how to adapt to his breathing under this rhythm; Lay a good foundation for the breathing rhythm in the next hand-held battle.
Seeing that little Tom had quickly entered the training state as if no one was around, the big man nodded with satisfaction - for this boy who was 'brought' by Ava, the big man would naturally pay more attention; after all, with his understanding of his friend, it was absolutely impossible for the taciturn other party to find a mediocre person to come to the bar at will; in fact, the other party did not make him pay this attention to waste; not only has a good talent, but also can endure hardships, especially the latter, which makes the big man even more satisfied.
Although he has the talent of an apostle, the big man is not outstanding in the study of some skills. is even completely inferior to ordinary people, and the reason why he can have his current strength is completely through hard training; Therefore, for any teenager who is able to endure hardships and has perseverance. He liked it very much; Just like the other teenager in front of him: Tiger.
Although in the years of following the wheelchair of the other stepfather. Everyone didn't know what Tiger had learned, but judging from his previous performance, Tiger was definitely the top three among all teenagers. Naturally, it is Linex, who is revered by everyone as the head of the eldest sister; That kind of training can no longer be called training, but self-abuse; Even the big man will have a numb scalp after seeing it; After all, the apostle, who relied on the electric shock of his own talent to quickly wake up from his sleep, was also the first time he had seen the big man.
"Lord Darlan!"
Facing the big man's honest smile. Tiger greeted everyone who was older than him in the bar, not only him, but all the teenagers with deep respect, just like their parents and elders whom he had never met; Because, all people treat them as juniors, especially after starting the training of the witcher, the unique inheritance method of the witcher makes this feeling even more verbal.
Master and apprentice are father and son.
The legacy of the witchers. All witchers have already had a second relative - and for both the witchers who have lost their families, and the future witchers who have lost their families, it is a bond that is not blood, but like blood; Even if the name is different, the essence is exactly the same.
"Cattle have a lot of strength, but they can't defend themselves against the tiger's minions. Can't even keep up with the speed of rabbits! But when they bow their heads and show their horns, even lions are cautious! The big man, who was not very good at words, relayed that after Shak heard the instructor's description of him at the time, he tried to use the simplest language. Explaining to the young man in front of him, "My situation back then was similar to what you are now!" I have the same lot of power, and my opponents are just as fast as me......"
Words of a big man. Tiger's eyes immediately lit up - although the strongest among the elders was undoubtedly the master of the eldest sister, the rest of the elders, they still did not underestimate them; Because they have seen the methods of these elders firsthand, they know very well that before they are truly independent, even if they all go together, they may not be the opponent of any of them; Even if you reach the level of independence, the odds of winning will not exceed 50%.
Therefore, in the face of such an elder's guidance, Tiger immediately pricked up his ears, for fear of missing a word.
"I couldn't catch up with them, I was always exhausted in the fight, and the end result was defeat! Until one day, a witcher who was our instructor came to me and asked me, 'Why are you chasing after each other?' Is your strength speed? Will you be able to catch up with each other? Why don't you maximize your strength and strength? ’”
"Maximize the strength advantage?"
Involuntarily, Tiger asked rhetorically.
"That's right! In order to win, the other party will inevitably attack, so why do you want to chase him? Why can't you wait for the opponent to attack and then fight back? After nodding, the big man still said with a smile: "Of course, this is just in an ordinary competition; If in actual combat, in order to deal with various emergencies, it is necessary to learn a variety of corresponding skills! ”
"So, Lord Darlan, can you teach me this technique?" Tiger asked impatiently.
"Of course, that's why I'm looking for you!"
"Can we start now?"
"What a shame!"
Facing the eager Tiger, the big man immediately stood up and threw the ledger aside - it was always easier for him to teach or train than to look at the ledger.
……
When the sun rose again, little Doug in the treehouse was still in good spirits—the young man's abundant energy, as soon as he came across what he thought fit, would erupt violently; Just like some of last night's learning about dagger skills, Little Doug accepted it so quickly that Ye Qi was a little surprised; This talent is definitely no less than that of some descendants of witchers; So much so that Ye Qi had to add some other courses that were not in the plan to the original course: hand-to-hand combat.
Immediately, Ye Qi discovered that compared to the use of weapons, Doug's ability to accept hand-to-hand combat is even higher - is this the specific performance of the guy who took down Wall?
Looking at the little Doug who was still gesturing, Ye Qi interrupted the other party with a smile.
"Well, our class is seriously overtime! It's time to end! ”
"Mr. Finger, are you leaving again?"
Stopping the gesture in his hand, Little Doug pointed to Ye Qi's repacked bags.
"Of course, I'm all at home!"
Ye Qi carried his bags straight onto his body and shrugged his shoulders in the manner of 'Finger' - he didn't plan to go to Xiaolou for breakfast; After all, there are businesswomen there; Even with an explanation to the other party, Ye Qi didn't want to meet the other party, and the embarrassment made him decide to say hello to a few people who got along well, and then left quietly.
