Chapter 20: Secretly Prepared
Half an hour later
Back in his room, Aaron, who had washed his body with cold water in the bathroom, changed into a new set of clothes, and lay down on a large bed in a sassy state, checking the information in his mind about the chip optimization breathing method-
"The Circle Cross Breathing Method is being optimized, and the estimated remaining time is 7 hours and 15 minutes. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
Aaron shook his head and frowned secretly: "I remember that when I optimized the first part of the circular cross breathing method, it took about 3 hours, right? This optimization took 7 hours, it seems that the next part is much more complicated than the first, and the more complex things are, the greater the burden on the chip, so that it takes more time to analyze." ”
"And after I stepped into the quasi-knighthood, I clearly felt that my body had improved in many aspects, including my nervous responses. The chip, which relies on my physical ability to play its upper limit, has also evolved once, and its computing capabilities have also improved a lot, but this time it still takes 7 hours......."
As a result, Aaron is looking forward to the second part of the optimized reverse cross breathing method, which leads to lying in bed and can't sleep after tossing and turning over again, completely falling into insomnia.
Lying on the bed, Aaron twisted his neck, feeling the clarity of his mind after just taking a cold shower-
"It's really a crime, the hot water for bathing is only available in the third-floor area where the viscount lives, like we can only use cold water to bathe here on the second floor, but the second-floor room has at least a single wooden bathroom, compared to the ordinary room on the first floor, there is not even a bathroom, and ordinary soldiers have to go to the dirty public bathroom if they want to take a bath, it is still better. ”
"Hey, that guy from Bruce is probably scolding his mother in the smelly public bathroom, right?"
"Since you still can't sleep, just get up. ”
Although Aaron can let the chip assist him and directly enter a state of deep sleep, he doesn't want to do it now, but simply gets up and gets out of bed and looks at the time in the lower right corner of the horizon-
0:57
It was close to 1 o'clock in the evening, and it was the dead of night, but Aaron knew that there were still some establishments open within the castle - such as some typical late-night establishments.
..............
So Aaron put on the heavy coat that only a soldier could wear, and hurried to a bar in the commercial district of the castle - and the only one in the castle.
Old malt bar
Pushing open the wooden door, a noisy and hot atmosphere in the bar came to his face, which made Aaron subconsciously squint his eyes, after all, in his previous life, he was either working overtime or making up for sleep in the middle of the night, and he rarely went to a place like a bar, and he felt a little uncomfortable with this atmosphere.
The commercial area is an area in the northern part of the castle, and the viscount's castle is quite large, in addition to the more than 100 soldiers stationed all year round (more than 100 people are sent to the village in turn), it also accommodates more than 1,000 people, such as servants, helpers, farmers, and men, which can indeed be called a rather mini 'city'.
This bar is a place for the bored civilians in the city to relax and unwind. Of course, many of the soldiers were frequent visitors, after all, the soldiers' monthly salary was more than the salary of the civilians, and the soldiers did not need to pay for their meals (the castle only had a canteen for the soldiers, and the village was responsible for the soldiers' meals when the village was stationed).
As a result, the soldiers were the bulk of the consumption of the bar, which was ostensibly run by a relative of one of the Viscount's ladies, but was in fact an important property for the Viscount to collect money, as were some of the other shops in the castle, which were in fact one of the Viscount's own properties.
Aaron quietly squeezed through the crowd and made his way to the bar, and the owner (ostensibly) Jerry, who was greeting customers, immediately recognized Aaron - after all, this guy had been making a fuss (and getting beaten) in his shop last week.
"Huh~, Aaron is back? so early, shouldn't you be back tomorrow morning?"
Jerry took out his pocket watch and looked at it, then corrected: "Oh no, it's already twelve o'clock, I should say that I only came back this morning, and then you came back so early, aren't you afraid of punishment from the city guards?"
Aaron shook his head, it seems that the news of his and Bruce's return has not yet spread, and the news that other garrisons in the territory have been attacked has not reached the ears of these people, otherwise Jerry would not have reacted to this.
Aaron didn't explain anything to Jerry, but took out a silver coin from his bosom and threw it directly to Jerry: "I want to ask you about a few things." ”
When Jerry saw the silver coin, he hurriedly put it into his arms with joy, took out a large shot glass from behind him, filled Aaron with a glass of butter ale, leaned closer, and said in a low voice: "If you have any questions, you just ask, and I will tell you exactly one word - even if you want to ask Miss Angel what color of underwear she usually wears, I can find a way for you to investigate!"
"Come on, I think you'd better take care of that blowing mouth, and be careful of the trouble that comes out of your mouth. ”
Aaron naturally didn't believe Jerry's nonsense, and in his memory, this guy was just a guy with a mouth full of trains, but driven by money, it was still very reliable to ask him about some normal news.
It's no wonder Jerry is so enthusiastic, one gold coin is equivalent to ten silver coins, one silver coin is equivalent to a hundred copper coins, and an ordinary civilian family of three consumes about five silver coins a month.
An ordinary soldier's monthly salary is half a gold coin, the team leader is a gold coin, but the captain has a full five gold coins, and the treatment is outrageous. Therefore, Bruce concealed his strength in the first place, and his goal was to secretly accumulate strength and replace the captain of a quasi-knight in one fell swoop.
Aaron looked at no one on the left and right, and teased Jerry: "If this word gets out and offends Angeli, I'm afraid even your eldest sister (a certain lady of the viscount) will not be able to save your life." ”
Speaking of this, Aaron's words suddenly paused, obviously thinking of the previous encounter with Angel in the castle, and her bad attitude and arrogant words towards him at that time, and he couldn't help but feel a little worse.
Jerry's face froze and he smiled, apparently remembering the temper of that Angelia Leo and her high status in the castle.
In order to divert the bad topic, Aaron shook his head and said, "Jerry, I want to buy a horse - a horse that can run fast and has the stamina to support a long distance. ”
"You want to buy a horse?"
Jerry couldn't react, why did Aaron buy horses? Besides, when the city guards went out to work, didn't the castle provide temporary horses?
"Yes, I'm going to buy a horse. ”
Aaron affirmed repeatedly, because—
Aaron is about to start preparing for the escape from the castle being breached!
