In the morning, before the sky was completely bright, many apprentices from the Sword Pavilion had already yawned and rushed to the martial arts training ground one after another.
There are still four and a half months before the day of the district selection, and most of the apprentices in the Sword Pavilion almost all plan to sign up, and several old students like Ogden who have participated in the selection many times have doubled their training during this time, and they have to go to bed until late at night and after the wee hours of the morning every day.
This is also because the cultivation method in martial arts is not based on the principle of harming the body and adapting to the intensity of exercise, so it can be practiced for a long time every day.
After a while, Kyle also came out of the house, coughed lightly, and everyone began to practice swordsmanship under his command.
As he said before, Mr. Kyle seems to have been getting busier and busier lately, and the time he spends on his daily instructions has been getting shorter, but his spirit is getting fuller and more vigorous, like a rusty sword shining again.
About an hour later, the morning exercise was over, and everyone walked towards the dining hall one after another. It is said that the canteen of the Sword Pavilion is all purchased and produced by a chef hired by Kyle.
Breakfast is two fist-sized pieces of black bread, and lunch is a piece of pork the size of a baby's palm, plus a bowl of wild vegetables and a piece of bread, and breakfast and lunch are a total of four copper coins.
Most civilians only eat breakfast and lunch, and dinner is directly omitted.
Fang Xingjian also walked towards the canteen, and some students on the side took out the dry food they had prepared from their arms, which was reluctant to eat breakfast in the Sword Pavilion. Fang Xingjian was also reluctant, but it was impossible for him to cook by himself, or go out to eat, the former was too time-consuming, and the latter was more expensive.
Received two pieces of black bread from the cook, Fang Xingjian chewed it casually, this black bread is mixed with the cortex and germ of wheat that were crushed off in the process of grinding, the taste is poor, it tastes extremely rough, and there is a faint sour taste.
Although the food is coarse, it is full and nutritious, and it is easier to digest, and it is considered to be the most common food for the poor.
Fang Xingjian finished the black bread in his hand in two or three bites, but he still had a feeling of unfinished, obviously not full yet. When they polish their bodies, they naturally have high requirements for food.
It can be said that if you can eat chicken, duck, fish, vegetables and fruits every day, the effect of their cultivation can be improved.
But I really don't have any money......
Fang Xingjian looked left and right, most of the apprentices were gobbling up the bread in their hands, and then showed a feeling of unfinished business.
An apprentice starts cultivating at the age of seven or eight, and most of the time spent practicing martial arts every day takes up most of it, so it can be said that not only will not increase the income of a family, but it will be a huge burden.
That's why the apprentices here are very fond of food.
And the descendants of those nobles and knights, not only did they practice every day without worries, but they were also able to get a lot of nutrients from food, and their physical fitness was much higher than that of ordinary civilian apprentices.
"It would be nice if I could have a little more...... Fang Xingjian said secretly in his heart.
At this moment, Vivian didn't know when she walked to Fang Xingjian's side, holding half a piece of black bread in her hand and said, "Senior Brother Fang, this is too much for me to eat, you can eat it." ”
Swallowing his saliva, Fang Xingjian finally shook his head and said, "No need." ”
"It's fine. Vivian laughed, like a warm ray of sunlight shining on Fang Xingjian's chest, she stuffed the black bread into the other party's hand and said, "Eat." ”
Fang Xingjian knew that he needed to become stronger and needed revenge within five years, so he couldn't let go of the slightest possibility of growth, he looked at the black bread in his hand, he hesitated, and the next moment the hunger overcame his pride, and the whole person devoured it violently.
At the same time, he said with some vagueness in his mouth: "This afternoon, I will instruct you in the Mountain Eagle Sword Technique. ”
Vivien's eyes lit up, "Thank you, thank you...... Thank you, brother. ”
Fang Xingjian didn't say anything, but thought in his heart: "Although I spend the night in the bridge cave every day, I am about to spend the rest of the money just for food, it's time to find a way to make money." ”
But here he was still thinking about how to make money, but there was a sudden noise on the martial arts training ground over there.
I saw a blonde boy standing in front of Mr. Kyle, the young man's sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a brilliant blonde hair shining dazzlingly in the sun, a handsome face and a delicate flannel dress all over his body, making him the prince charming in the eyes of all female apprentices, and the silver-plated sword at his waist was even more exciting to make the eyes of the civilian boy red.
However, compared to the dazzling blonde boy, what attracted more attention was the stout man standing next to him who was talking to Kyle, the man had the same black hair, black eyes and yellow skin as Fang Xingjian, obviously the so-called Westerners in this world, not the native race of the empire.
However, Westerners are not uncommon in the empire, and what makes people more concerned than his appearance is his azure dress.
"Is it a knight's dress?" one of the cadets whispered.
The so-called knight dress is made of three strong and ferocious animal materials, such as dragon bird feather and fire lin, as well as the eagle lin, and each knight dress is carefully made by the national arsenal, and only through the regional selection of the empire, you can get one if you become a knight.
And every knight's dress has a fire and arrow protection, light as a feather but invulnerable, it can be called the best talisman treasure, and has become a family heirloom for many families, even if anyone who wears it except a knight will be sentenced to death.
It's just because of the identity that this dress represents - knight. Every year, the top 10 of the best are selected from thousands of people in the district elections of various regions, and they are truly the pride of the sky.
Looking at the knight in front of him, or the knight's dress on the other party's body, the eyes of many apprentices present flashed with a trace of burning color.
Second Senior Brother Lambert clenched his fists and said secretly in his heart: "This time, I must pass the district selection and become a knight." ”
"Riders. Senior brother Ogden gritted his teeth, and his heart was even more determined: "I must become a knight, as long as I become a knight, I am exempted from military service taxes, and I have a field property, my eldest brother will no longer have to fight a bachelor, and my parents will not sell my little sister......"
Becoming a knight, exempt from military service and taxes, and rewarding the state with land, you can concentrate on martial arts from now on, and no longer have to be distracted by the miscellaneous things of life. What's even worse is that knights break the law, which needs to be tried by the Royal Knights' Association, and ordinary officials don't even have the right to judge.
Fang Xingjian looked at the knight in front of him, but what he thought of was not the superiority of his identity: "This guy, has it changed?"
Unlike the warriors of the Demon Capital, who had changed jobs through the Demon Pattern, Fang Xingjian had already inquired about how the humans in this world had changed their jobs during this time.
The same level 9, 19, and 29 reached the bottleneck, and reading, studying, exercising, and killing monsters could no longer gain any experience.
At this time, only by entering the secret realm can you break through the bottleneck and change jobs.
