Chapter 98: +9 Hope

Barracks of the city defense army. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although the encirclement and suppression operation of the monster cave was a great success, there were also many injured mercenaries, so as soon as Dixie and the others returned, Vera, who was half a medical staff, was forcibly recruited.

"Come on, do a good job!"

"Pathetic Villa-san. ”

"Hehe, I'll support you mentally. ”

The other three gloated.

Alside glanced at it and said with a straight face: "Don't be idle, go to your respective mentors to train, and don't stop until you eat." ”

"Yes......"

Leah and Blu suddenly shrugged their heads and left.

Dixie was left alone, and he silently held his sword, waiting to speak. In the mercenary group, it was Alceid who was responsible for instructing him in swordsmanship.

Although the regimental commander's figure is more like "MT" no matter how you look at it, he is actually an out-and-out swordsman.

――――Martial Arts Training Ground――――

"How's the word chop?" Alced asked.

“...... It's okay. ”

Dixie hesitated slightly, compared to two months ago, there was definitely some improvement, but he didn't know if he could meet the regimental commander's expectations.

"I'll take a look at it once. Alced also took out his weapon and prepared for the audit.

"Good!"

Dixie took two steps back, took a deep breath, and slammed the long sword horizontally, the green tendons on his arms burst out, and the strength of his body gathered into a force, and through the blade, he drew a snowy horizontal arc in the air.

Bell--!

There was a crisp crash, and Alced still held his sword in one hand, and took the move without moving.

Dixie withdrew her weapon, a little apprehension on her face. He could feel that he wasn't playing very well.

"The legs are too stiff and not strong enough. Alced frowned slightly, not very satisfied.

"Come again. ”

"Yes!"

......

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Fei Jin returned to the barracks and received the bounty by the way. When he passed by the martial arts training ground, he saw many people training.

"Ah, it's the senior......"

Liya doesn't know if it's sharp-eyed or something else, but she can always be the first to discover Fei Jin's location.

But Master Bourne was standing by the side, and she didn't dare to be too presumptuous, at most she peeked a few times with her peripheral vision.

"Senpai should be here, right? It's the same as last time......

Leah hopes expectantly that Fei Jin will practice with her, but when she peeks again, the latter walks towards Dixie.

"How did you get to my brother?"

The little girl pursed her mouth as if she was making a fuss, and instantly fell to a pitiful level.

At the same time, the hand shook slightly, and the arrow also deviated from the previous trajectory.

"Practice a hundred times. Byrne was expressionless.

"Woo......"

Here, Fei Jin stood not far away, carefully watching Dixie and a young soldier exchange swordsmanship.

As the saying goes, "an inch is long and an inch is strong", and there is a qualitative difference between a long sword and a short sword. For those with no foundation, a short sword can be used as a dagger and can be barely used, but a long sword is difficult to handle.

Since the main weapon has chosen the long sword, as a Lv.0 little swordsman, you have to hurry up and learn.

Fei Jin's behavior naturally attracted Dixie's attention, and he didn't think much about it at first, but after being stared at for more than ten minutes, he felt that something was wrong.

After finishing the discussion as soon as possible, Dixie walked over and wondered, "Senior, is there something wrong with my moves?"

"No, no—"

Fei Jin shook his head and denied: "I can't provide any advice in this regard." ”

"Uh, I saw that the senior had been staying next to me, and I thought it was ......" Dixie scratched her cheek embarrassedly.

"Keep sparring, leave me alone. ”

There are many people here, Fei Jin decided to practice hard after going back, and now just looking with his eyes is enough.

As for the "Lone Wanderer's Sword" and "Sword Qi Slash", in order not to attract attention, he had to suppress the eagerness in his heart to try, and wait until he went back.

......

In the evening of the next day, Fei Jin went to the center of the town.

At this time, if nothing else, the quenching stones should have been extracted.

The two blacksmith shops are really powerful.

After expressing his sincere gratitude, Fei Jin carried a bag of stones and returned to the barracks in a happy mood.

Before that, he counted, and there were 165 in total.

【Quenching Stone】

Quality: Excellent.

Attributes: Used to strengthen weapons, increase physical damage by 5 points each time, and strengthen the maximum number of times 5 times.

Restrictions on use: Blacksmith furnace required.

......

This amount was about the same as Fei Jin's estimate, so he was not surprised. What really surprised him was that among this batch of quenching stones, 15 of them were of excellent quality!

It was much more than he expected, which he had not even thought about.

【Quenching Stone】

Quality: Excellent.

Attributes: Used for weapon enhancement of +5 or more, increase physical damage by 10 points each time, and strengthen the maximum number of times 4 times.

Restrictions on use: Blacksmith furnace required.

......

Fei Jin was playing with one in his hand, which was of excellent quality, and its appearance was not much different from that of excellent quality, but the color was slightly darker.

"+5 is good enough, I can't imagine that I can +9 now......"

Fei Jin took the "Lone Wanderer's Sword" as a sample and began a simple calculation.

At +0, the sword's primary stat is 30 damage.

+5 for 55 damage.

+9, then the final damage will be up to 95!

"Sizzle......"

Fei Jin himself couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, and when the time came, with the addition of the Breaking Step Stone, the level would be increased from 0 to 1 Order, and the damage would break 100 properly!

“...... Well, you must take good care of your weapons, and the Big Wound Bow can be said to be an exception, and it will be troublesome if it is discovered by the Scarlet Alliance again. ”

In addition to being happy, Fei Jin also took into account the negative impact.

Not only the Scarlet Alliance, but also the Foundry Guild that also wears the same pair of pants, and if the +9 weapon is exposed, it is likely to invite death.

At that time, this powerful weapon will no longer be a talisman, but a talisman.

"At the end of the day, you have to get stronger as soon as possible. ”

Or ......" Fei Jin's face sank like water.

"Getting stronger" -- how long does it take to become stronger, and how strong do you have to be?

Fei Jin didn't know the answer, but he knew that when he said the words "become stronger as soon as possible", in addition to feeling that time was pressing, he also felt a little relaxed.

Fei Jin hated this feeling - through some questions without specific answers, he calmly "escaped".

It's right to recuperate, but you can't wait for the other party to make the first move every time, and then find a way on your own side, this approach will only make things more irreparable.

Moreover, the solution to the problem is far more than the option of "force".

"Scarlet Alliance......

Fei Jin's lips pursed into a thin line, and he decided to turn passive into active and completely get rid of his worries.

There are so few recommended tickets...... Crab ......
