Chapter 12: Patton's Troubles
Newborn rats are very vulnerable, and are safe as potions do not add any strength to the user, and only have an active skill, "Mental Interference".
However, as he was not sure if it would undergo an unknown change after taking the potion, Glerint did not dare to leave the task of feeding it to the servants, and decided to keep it in his room and take care of it himself.
He made a small nest out of a teacup, first with a layer of wool for insulation, then a layer of absorbent paper, and on the top layer some cotton and sawdust at the edges, and the young rats were placed in the middle, and the top was covered with a moderate amount of wool to keep warm.
In addition, he placed a plate of milk and a plate of goat's milk next to him, and connected them to the mouth of the little mouse with two smallest straws.
Glerint didn't know whether the rat could eat cow or goat's milk and grow up healthy, so he could only hope that its vitality would be tenacious enough after taking the potion.
He placed the nest not too far from the fireplace to keep it warm, as it was winter.
After setting up the young mouse, Gleilynt quietly retrieved the delicate dagger.
This dagger is no more than thirty centimeters long, with a blade on one side and serrated teeth on the other, and a blood groove on the blade.
After a few recognizable moments, Glerint confirmed that it belonged to the Sailor Path, and that it was made from the extraordinary trait corresponding to the Sequence 8 "Raging People".
It has two effects, one is to greatly increase the power of the wielder, and the side effect is that carrying the dagger for a long time will cause great thirst and thirst for water. This craving is psychological, there is no physical change, and you can't get rid of it by touching the water source.
The second ability is the active ability "Rage Strike", which charges up for a short time and then stabs with all its might, and the charge time depends on your anger level.
"Very powerful extraordinary items, quite suitable for combat, and when I am promoted to Sequence 8 'Barbarian', there will be a greater power bonus."
Glerint secretly judged and named it "Fury".

Monday morning, in Glelint's villa.
Hibbert's so-called friends will of course only be friends, and cannot be himself.
According to the barrister Benedict in front of him, Barton was a big merchant who traded between the kingdoms of Fenerport, Intis and Rune.
Located on the southernmost side of the North Road, Fenerport is blessed with high temperatures throughout the year and abundant sunshine that produces many crops in the area, so they believe in Mother Earth, a symbol of a good harvest.
The highland coffee produced by Fenerport is of good quality, mellow and elegant, and is sought after by many nobles and wealthy people in Rune, and the price reaches nearly seven sucks per pound.
This time, Barton had brought 80,000 pounds of Highland coffee from Fenerport, a shipment of nearly 30,000 pounds that had attracted the covetousness of the Whiskers.
They attempted to kidnap Barton and extort money.
However, as a big businessman, Barton's bodyguards were quite good, and after a fierce battle, he fought off the four gangsters of the Whiskers with great difficulty.
However, in the middle of the fight, the bodyguard accidentally shot and killed a university lecturer!
Fearing punishment, Brenda, the bodyguard, believes that Barton will not protect him, so he flees and is silent.
The reason for this trial was that there were some objections between the parties to the conflict over the division of culpability.
Patton's side believed that it was his bodyguard Brenda who shot the lecturer, and that he had nothing to do with him, and that he should not bear any legal punishment, and was only willing to pay eight hundred pounds for his concern.
The lecturer's family, relatives and friends were irrational, and they did not rule out the possibility that Patton had deliberately instructed him, and that Patton should therefore be punished by the law, and that Patton should be dealt with as an accomplice to the murderer, and that he should be paid three thousand pounds for damages.
"How can this be successful? Such an outrageous request. ”
Gleilynt asked Benedict in surprise.
Young lecturers at the University of Tingen earn about £150 a year, and even those who have worked for several years and are senior will not be more than £300. Beckland University isn't much different either.
Three thousand pounds, even if the lecturer is older and does not eat or drink, it will have to work normally for ten years.
Well, if a public servant of the Kingdom dies in the line of duty, the bereavement pension is the amount of ten years of normal service.
Glerint suddenly remembered Klein Moretti's pension in the original book.
The other party helplessly flipped through the information of the case, and said indifferently: "The price is all over the place, anyway, Mr. Patton is a rich man worth hundreds of thousands, maybe he won't care?" ”
But obviously, even if there is money, no one wants to be treated as a wronged leader.
So Barton turned to Hibbert in the hope of hiring a good defense lawyer.

After a closer look at Wednesday's case, Glerint sent Attorney Benedict off and came to Earl Hall's house.
Yesterday Joffrey sent a servant to inform Glerint that he could study this afternoon. He couldn't wait to learn the language of Ancient Hermes and use the Ring of Order.
Although yesterday morning's battle was extremely short, only two or three rounds, Glerint fully experienced the power of the "Mental Piercing" of the sixth level of the sequence.
Throughout the battle, the only extraordinary ability he really used was this one.
After that, he secretly recalled that he unexpectedly found that in yesterday's battle, the time to release his skills was just right.
Too soon, it will arouse Quinn's alarm, and it will not achieve the effect of surprise. If it's too late, you'll have a big hole in your leg.
It was the sudden use of this powerful extraordinary ability during the battle that scared Quinn into choosing to flee immediately, because he was quite suspicious that this was the extraordinary ability of the middle sequence.
It's just that I didn't expect that after the vision was blurred by bloodstains, I accidentally fell to my death on the "second floor".
Rather than call it a villa, Glelynt prefers to call the Earl of Hall's house a castle.
It's so huge, it's amazing every time you see it.
Of course, it was the original Gleilynt that struck.
As a time-traveler in modern society, although Glelint does not have the kind of "arrogant prince" bearing, he has also achieved suppression in knowledge.
Instead of seeing Hibbert and Audrey, he went straight to the basement.
"Hibbert is already working in the council, and it's normal not to see it. What about Audrey, is she tutoring? ”
He felt a little regretful and confused when he didn't see this lively and lovely girl, but he didn't make any special inquiries.
Joffrey was quite aware of Glerint's current thoughts, and did not prepare other occult lessons, but only spoke about the ancient Hermetian language and the Hermetian language.
The reason why they are taught together is that Hermes is inherited from the ancient Hermesian language, and although it cannot leverage the forces of nature, it is also the main language used in many contemporary rituals, and the two are in the same vein, and there are similarities in many places, so it is more time-saving to learn together.
Goemis was the focus of Glerint's learning for the rest of the long term.
As for the dragon language, the giant language, and the elven language, because it was used so old, Glerint thought that he would not be able to touch it in a short time.
As for the possible meeting with the little sun above the gray fog next year, Glerint has no worries at all, because by then he will most likely have mastered the Giant's language - and even if he doesn't, there will be a simultaneous interpretation of the "Fool" card.
In the evening, after an afternoon of language study, Glerint was about to say goodbye and leave.
Joffrey suddenly remembered to ask Glerint something.
