Chapter Ninety-Five: Vanity and Threat

Rhoda, a gray-and-blue manservant, followed tremblingly, his eyes constantly scanning the reeds around him.

Having grown up here, he wasn't afraid of the smell and mosquitoes, and in fact he missed it very much.

Because in addition to mosquitoes, there are also countless wild ducks, which are hidden in those deep reeds.

When he was a child, every time he was hungry, he would come here with his friends with nets and pockets.

If you're lucky, you'll be able to eat fatty duck meat, and if you're unlucky, you'll get a bag full of duck eggs.

The aristocratic lord generally did not eat duck meat, because the wild duck was very small, and no matter how it was cooked, it would have an earthy smell, but for a farmer like him, it was a rare delicacy.

It's just that at this time, Luo Da is not in the mood to reminisce about these good memories, he is just worried that his friend will not recklessly disturb the little master.

Just two days ago, one of his childhood friends approached him and asked him to find an opportunity to take Phil out of town.

The reason is that he wants to have a chance to get close to Phil, maybe he can get appreciated, and then he will get rid of the fate of poverty.

After defeating many competitors and becoming Phil's personal valet, Rhoda was pleasantly surprised to find that the eyes of those around him had changed.

Relatives who used to have little contact with each other have been moving around the house more often lately, and the smile on my mother's face is more than usual.

Those childhood friends and classmates would always unconsciously behave a little flattering in front of him, and it was not the first time that similar flattery and entrustment were blocked, but they were all blocked by him without a trace.

Even the proud little maids in the manor, who usually had their eyes on top of their heads, would casually look at his figure, showing a shy and flattering smile.

All this made the 20-year-old Luo Da fluttering, full of confidence and longing for his future.

It wasn't until two days ago that the partner found him again, not only with a generous gift, but also pestered him for an hour.

Rhoda was about to refuse, but the partner, perhaps in a fit of rage, threatened him with a theft he had stolen when he was 16 years old.

Although Rhoda knew that the theft was just a farce after a bet, for Rhoda at this time, he would never allow even a little stain on his body.

Therefore, he agreed, and repeatedly warned this partner to grasp the scale and not to disturb the nobleman.

So, today, on a whim, Phil suddenly wanted a little reed, and Rhoda screamed in his heart that he was lucky, so he brought Phil here and informed his friends.

Edward has also had a pretty good time in the last two years, as is evident from the change in his size.

He even secretly wondered if he should take his wife and children over, compared with his hometown where the land is barren, this place is too rich.

It's a pity that there are many things involved here, such as the transfer of two little cubs, and it will be difficult to make up your mind for a while.

Under his careful teaching, the little fat man's strength improved rapidly, and his attributes in all aspects of his body increased several times.

Meditation, in particular, can now be put into a state without his nightly massage, even when exercising, there is an eighty percent chance.

If it weren't for the strange illness that he had to fall asleep every month, he would have been inexplicably affected for a few days before and after, and his state was not stable enough.

Edward could even conclude that he would definitely be able to awaken his talent before the little fat man was promoted to the intermediate academy at the age of 15.

Thinking about that scene, the big fat man couldn't help but be full of red light and pride.

In the past two years, he has devoted a lot of effort to this apprentice, and has established a strong master-apprentice relationship with him, no longer just because of the generous salary.

As for his own unwillingness, he has long since dispersed with the wind and is no longer attached.

Edward grabbed a handful of yellowed reeds and twisted them into a handful, driving away the dense crowd of desperate mosquitoes while recalling a week of debriefing in the city of Gokan.

It was in Earl Brad's study, a Q&A about Phil.

Edward's originally plump figure stood in front of Brad, looking short and thin like a monkey.

At this moment, he lowered his head slightly, his eyes were full of admiration and respect, and there was no trace of hypocritical smile, which seemed very sincere.

If Phil had been present, he might have suspected that it was a fake Edward.

For Edward, the majestic and majestic old man in front of him was not only the noble man in his life, but also the leader he had served for decades, the patriarch of the big family of the Wild Lion Division.

Edward pondered for a moment and said to Brad: "Phil's physical fitness before exercising is no different from that of ordinary children, and he is relatively balanced in all aspects, and he can't see his innate advantages.

Considering that he had no foundation at all in the previous eight years, and that he did not lag behind other children, this is already telling.

But his intelligence, tenacity, and understanding of meditation far surpassed those of his peers.

I could even say that he was the best kid I've ever seen. ”

"Well, that's been said last year, talk about the progress this year. Brad said quietly.

"After a year of training, his strength, speed, stamina, power skills and nervous reflexes have improved greatly compared to last year.

has reached the excellent level of the same age, and the improvement rate is much higher than that of ordinary children.

Especially in the two aspects of riding and power skills, I have started the third stage of training, and I am extremely talented.

Several others are still at the end of the second phase, and it is believed that the requirements of the next phase will be met in another three months.

In addition, I have started to teach the basic subjects of Jianbi and have received them well.

However, due to his age, he is temporarily unable to increase the intensity of training and cannot be evaluated. With that, Edward glanced up at Brad's expression and handed over the training log in his hand, waiting for further instructions.

Brad looked at the recorded data on it, was silent for a while, and said: "The training of the strong wall can be done step by step, and you can't rush it, otherwise you will destroy the roots."

Several other indicators are considered good, not excellent. ”

"When it comes to the numbers, I'm a little guessy. Edward interjected, "It's because he's so balanced, I suspect this kid has reservations in training."

So I tried to increase the pressure and push it a bit.

Surprisingly, under extreme external pressure, his performance did not disrupt this equilibrium, but all his attributes increased in equal proportion. ”

"Proportionally?" Brad's slightly closed eyes snapped open, emitting a sharp light, which, combined with his exaggerated beard, did look like an angry lion.

"Yes, this situation is very accidental at first, usually after exhaustion, so I initially misjudged it to be the self-protection of body tissues or the excessive production of hormones.

But with his rapid improvement in fitness, the timing of this phenomenon is very erratic, sometimes even at the beginning of training.

So, I suspect, it's probably what you might think. But I'm not sure yet. Edward bowed his head again.

"How often, how effective is the amplification?" asked Brad, with a brighter and brighter light in his eyes.

"If you're not in a meditative state, you can do it about once out of 20.

But after entering the meditative state, this chance is increased to one in 5 times, and all aspects of the attribute can be increased by about 30%, and it is very stable.

Because he is now improving at a high rate every day, there is no way to calculate accurately. ”

"Sancheng?" Brad looked very excited. "Are you sure?"

Edward seemed to be taken aback by the sternness in Brad's tone, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead a little disapprehended, weighed it for a moment, and affirmed: "Sure, at least thirty percent." ”

"Good, good, good!" Brad excitedly shouted three times in a row, his big hands like bear paws slammed on the desk, making a dull sound, and the solid wood desk let out a creaking moan, as if overwhelmed.

"Everything still depends on the awakening. Brad thought for a moment, stood up from behind his desk, walked up to Edward, and looked at him condescendingly: "Edward, can I trust you?"

"Yes, sir. I am forever loyal to the Mad Lion family, and I can dedicate my life to you, I swear to Gaia, the Mother Earth Goddess. Edward knelt down on one knee and placed Brad's palm above his head, his mouth vowing the most solemn of all.

"Okay, kid, I believe you, you almost grew up watching me. Brad rubbed Edward's head a few times and leaned over to lift him up.
