In the open-air cafeteria, the girl Lynn assists the anxious cook Aunt Rosie to clean up the dishes, she learns things quickly, and many time-saving tips are often inferred, accidentally touching fish bones, frowning, holding back the pain and continuing to be busy.

When Aldridge and Captain West put down their knives and forks and got up to leave, the Night Watchman in the open-air cafeteria was already on standby at the training ground, and Lynn immediately walked over to clean the table. Her silent hard work and diligence won Tris's admiration, and she looked thoughtfully at Aldrich's back, with some melancholy and lamentation for his own misfortune, just as he turned back with an approving smile and a gentle bow.

At that moment, the fatigue and heavy pressure disappeared, Lynn's weak body seemed to be infused with the source of youthful vitality, the whole person suddenly took on a new look, and the crampedness and uneasiness that could not be concealed between her eyebrows disappeared, replaced by flying confidence, she raised her head proudly like a rooster with a big red crest.

Aunt Rosie, the cook who stayed aside, was brushing the dishes, her face was cloudy, she stared at the girl with jealousy, her emotions were a little complicated, for fear that her place would be taken away by her.

The amount of money that is hidden in the pocket every month is a lot of money, even if each Night Watchman saves one silver dele, it is fifty-six pieces a day. In a month, the amount of money is so large that Aunt Rosie, who has only learned basic arithmetic, can't count them, which is even more amazing.

In fact, she deducts the cost of daily food very covertly and scatters it in every dish, so no one can see it. And she cleverly joined the 'sisterhood' of the city guard cooks, and was able to buy the originally expensive spices at a low price through group buying, and the money saved went into her pocket.

With such a big interest, you can also take the opportunity to build relationships with many peers, and faintly build a solid network, which will be the capital to make a fortune in the future. Whoever enters her territory will be severely beaten by Aunt Rosie, a middle-aged woman with a gentle and kind appearance, even Aldrich Tris, who is famous and awe-inspiring to all the Night Watchmen.

With the support of her relative, Rufu West, and the monthly Silver Dele, Rosie is convinced that her position is as secure as a rock. It is especially important that she has no obvious bad deeds and handles.

Due to the good combination of dishes, the Night Watchman has a neutral or even friendly attitude towards the cook, and many people will occasionally make good-natured jokes about the occasional "accidental" shake off a few more oily ribs when Aunt Rosie is spooning.

When everyone leaves the canteen, the cook tears off her gentle and kind disguise, revealing her true face of ruthlessness. Aunt Rosie is like the legendary old witch who tortures children for fun, and she sits comfortably on the rotten wooden seat, instructing Lynn to do this and that, and to put her share of the work on the thin girl.

Poor Lynn would be greeted with a hideous-faced insult from the chef as long as she moved a little slowly, and her voice was suppressed at first, but gradually she scolded unscrupulously, because there was a uniform sound of footsteps coming from the direction of the training ground, and the Night Watchmen would not sneak over and smash her.

In a weight-bearing jog around the outer edge of the training ground, Aldrich Tris, heavily armoured, led the way in front of the group, breathing at a constant pace at the beginning, while the other Night Watchmen kept discarding the weight-bearing armor parts after the first lap, and the bottom line was to at least keep the dagger and shoulder shield to reduce the pressure to keep up with him.

Relying on his strong physical strength, the bull Kent did not take off any weight, although he was panting like a cow and sweating on his forehead and back like rain, he still gritted his teeth and persevered.

In the second lap, someone fell behind, and the uniform melody appeared to be out of tune to keep up with the beat, and Captain West, who was following the team, took the shield, took the dagger, patted him on the shoulder, and signaled to continue to follow.

No one wanted to throw in what the Terris Knight called 'adaptability', so he took off his soggy burlap shirt and reached out to wipe a handful of hot sweat on his face, panting to keep up with the group, adjusting his pace to keep up.

However, more and more people fell behind, and at the end of the second lap, only a small half of the people could still keep up with the melody, and most of them couldn't even maintain the formation, and their footsteps became extremely chaotic.

The brute threw away his obstructive helmet and continued to wear this 'steamer', his face would surely be smothered. Bol the Raven, who had run alongside Kent in the first lap, had long since disappeared and might have landed at the end of the line, and the bull did not want to pay attention to such people, he looked at the back in front of him, and the close Knight Aldrich Triss was always calm and relaxed as if he were participating in an outing.

'The gap between me and the Cavaliers is really big. Thinking of this, he glanced sideways at several full-time knights behind him out of the corner of his eye, their faces were a little ugly, although they were in the first echelon, they also tried their best.

'It's all knights, why is there such a big gap?'

By the fifth lap of the project, Aldrich had caught up with the night watchman at the end of the line, a young man who said he was running but was actually walking, similar to Tim Ball, who came from a 'famous family', but his physical strength was close to the limit and he could not be whipped by Vester to start again, so he had to 'give up' and leave this man to fend for himself.

"Stop!" When the Knight of Tris crossed his position, he immediately raised his right hand and clenched his fist to signal the end of the 'adaptation' training program, and the people who came up one after another couldn't help but stare at this hind leg, most of them were mixed emotions of gratitude and resentment.

Flushed with shame, the young man lifted his heavy lead-filled feet, shook off his stride and ran forward, he was going to chase after Captain West, who was not far ahead, covered with shields and short swords, to at least get past him to regain his lost 'dignity'.

Aldrich glanced at him, gave him a slightly approving look of relief, and then took off his helmet to reveal his equally wet hair, apparently five laps with weight was not easy for him.

Turning to look at the first echelon that followed him closely, there were only twenty people, excluding three full-time knights and six reserve knights, only eleven, all of whom were Kent's companions.

"You are all manufacturables!" said the Knight of Tris, "just like the iron embryo prepared by the master master before forging the divine weapon, as long as the body is calcined through the body in the 'furnace', and then the steel hammer is forged thousands of times on the anvil, the best shaped blank can be forged in pain." As for the sharpening of those edges, it is a long time ago, and it is a bit early to say now. ”

The second echelon followed one after another, breathing rapidly and breathlessly, and the burning throat caused a violent cough, so that many people kept retching.

Aldridge didn't say anything, and he didn't start putting his team together until the last man had returned and had a long enough rest to get back to normal.

Adaptive training revealed many problems, and the division between strength and weakness emerged, with the first echelon standing in the front row, drawing out the regular and reserve knights, and the second echelon being arranged in three rows.

"I personally led the first row, and the other three rows were accompanied by a full-time knight and two reserve knights for daily training. ”

"Oops, we're giving up. "It's not that bad, this kind of training program is a test of physical strength, and people with thin bodies will always suffer. "It's not fair, why are Kent they being selected and we being turned away. "That is, the first row of brute bulls will follow Tris on the path of knighthood. "Oh my God, I really want to follow the Knight of Triss and see if I can become a real knight, and I'm sure I can. ”......

The whispers grew louder and louder, gradually turning into quarrels and noises, except for the first row of brute cattle Kent, who stared at Aldrich Triss with a calm face, and remained silent, thus forming a division between turbid water and clear streams.

Rufer Vest is really fed up with the stupidity and short-sightedness of these people, and keeps losing points again and again, and they have nothing to gain except for the obvious contrast that shows the excellence of the first row.

"Ahh

"Captain West, tell me about the pre-designed rules. Knight Triss stretched out his hand to ask, and then relinquished his throne, but wherever he retreated, whether he sat or stood sideways, he caught everyone's attention.

Rufu West was very satisfied that he had reached the most prominent position, and he clapped lightly with his hands: "I am the second son of a knight family, and I originally had no chance to inherit the family business, but by relying on my personal efforts, I finally broke through the bottleneck and was promoted to a full-time knight, and I was fortunate to enter the city guard, and was later seconded by the town hall to the night watchman." ”

Let's talk about his past first, and sure enough, it attracted everyone's attention, even the Knight of Tris, which made him feel very proud.

"Everyone who embarks on a knight's path has a different way to get to their destination, and I chose to take shortcuts in a clever way. Honestly, I can't compare to the traditional knights, and Aldrich Triss is far superior to me. ”

Rufer West is good at mobilizing emotions, and at this moment, his true feelings are revealed, even the few old men who have been secretly resisting him parachuting into the captaincy, and the long-time knights can't help but prick up their ears.

"Capable of catching veteran thieves in the complex terrain and dark alleys, especially the shadowman Musk, who is proficient in concealment, the Knight of Tris must have mastered the art of blind combat. Speaking of which, Captain West explained, "That is, fighting with the opponent with his eyes closed, and beating him down." This technique is quite advanced and may not be able to be mastered by ordinary knights. Personally, I know some of the secrets, which is to extend my mind to form an invisible ring with the body at the core. It's a pity that this is a wonderful skill that can't be expressed in words, and those who understand it naturally understand, and those who don't understand it can't understand it no matter how much they say. ”

Aldrich Triss nodded slightly, as if in agreement with Captain West's statement, and he raised his hand to indicate that he had something to say.

Rufer West knew that his immature insights had succeeded in drawing on the essence of the Knight of Trissy's practice, and he smiled slightly, remembering the capture of a commercial spy from the South while serving in the City Guard. Because of his status as a nobleman, he was exempt from torture, but when he was in a group of training rooms full of teaching errors, an occupational attack caused him to take away the whip and start teaching the proper techniques of stealing business information.

"As far as I know, there are at least three shortcuts to cultivating blind combat skills. I chose to return to the wild, observing large predators in the Whispering Forest for many years, and gradually learning their hunting skills. The direction of the smell, the disturbance of the airflow, the touch of the skin, I am like a large spider weaving cobwebs, anyone who enters my hunting territory can detect and fight back as soon as the other party launches an attack. ”

Aldridge has reservations about his real cards, but the truth he has revealed has already attracted the attention of most people, even a few full-time knights have a thoughtful look, and it is clear that the fleeting inspiration has been rewarded.

His eyes looked at Aldrich Tris, a young man who had only been a Night Watchman for a short time, and he was indeed ahead of everyone.

Then obey him for now, before digging up all the treasures, and make the Tris Knight proud for a few days. ’
