Chapter 45: Suddenly January
Because it is very difficult to obtain a knighthood now, if Glerlint wants to promote the earldom by virtue of his military merits, the possibility is very small!
Glerint's explanation for this was the same as Corwin's: he was eager to obtain a higher order of potion recipes and main ingredients by virtue of his military exploits.
This is quite incomprehensible to the two, because in their opinion, extraordinary abilities are the key to gaining status and wealth.
And no one will in turn gain extraordinary abilities by virtue of their honorable status.
But out of politeness, they reluctantly agreed.
What left Glerint speechless was that the two of them didn't have any special feelings about his proud "Sequence Eight" strength and the magical item "Fury" on the surface, but just sighed that he was really rich.
"If you know that I have prepared more than 20,000 pounds to sell my house and land, and I am going to use it to buy magical items, I'm afraid you will directly scold me for losing my mind?"
Gleilynt complained in his heart.
It's not that who's right or who's wrong, it's just that each other's pursuits are different. He longed for great personal power, and others sought wealth and power.
————————————————————————
The sudden closed training somewhat broke Glerint's plans.
Before, he considered that there were still ten days before he started training, and he was ready to try to play the role of "barbarian".
As a result, I didn't expect to have to train all of a sudden, and it was closed, only for a month.
This means that he will not be able to play at all this month, and it is impossible to be "savage" to his two companions or trainers......
Looking at Jim, who was carefree peeling pine nuts and eating, he was a little envious for a while, envious of the other party's carefreeness.
The sky is about to be stepped on, even if he doesn't plan to be the tallest one, he doesn't want to passively become the shortest one.
"Jim, do you still want to learn mystical languages now?"
He couldn't help but pinch the skin of Jim's neck and asked in confirmation.
Jim, who heard his inquiry, pricked up his ears and asked quickly:
"Of course, are you finally willing to teach me?"
Gleilynt shook his head, and before Jim could become depressed, he spoke:
"I don't have time, you read books and learn by yourself."
"I leave you the 'Erudito fanaticism'."
Previously, Glerint had also considered wearing "Erudito Mania" to the training to save time.
But he thought about it and gave up on it, because Jim needed the magical object more than he did.
Jim's next sequence is "The Decryption Scholar", and the play and digestion of this potion requires a lot of basic occult knowledge, and Jim is currently completely blank in this section and needs to be replenished urgently.
This month just gave him the foundation to learn various mysterious languages on his own, and with the help of magical items, it shouldn't be too difficult.
As for occult knowledge, it will only have time for Glerint to teach later.
And he himself is just learning some ordinary knowledge and skills. The knowledge he learned as a nobleman included the Dutan language used in the Southern Continent, which greatly reduced his study pressure.
"Okay!"
After talking to Jim about his whereabouts and plans, Glerint arranged the management of the mansion again, which was regarded as an advance rehearsal of the operation of this side after he actually arrived in the Southern Continent.
He didn't leave much cash behind, only £1,000, enough for everyone in the mansion until the end of the year.
At the same time, he stipulated that the butler, the manservant, and the cook should coordinate when taking it to prevent theft and abuse, but at the same time, it was not allowed to deduct the salary of a servant. and let them report each other's whistleblowing, and if anyone has a reasonable whistleblowing, he will be rewarded with a one-time reward of £200.
As for those who are exposed, they will be prosecuted and brought to the civil court.
In Beckland, if a servant or housekeeper is fired or prosecuted by his employer for personal reasons, he is not required to do so. Therefore, he basically did not have to worry about the servants absconding with the money.
It's not completely insured, including on the side of his property agent, Anthony.
But he was alone, and the few distant relatives who were probably not as reliable as the servants were, had no choice.
The remaining 22,000 pounds were deposited into three accounts, including the subsequent monthly profits were also remitted to one of these three accounts.
As for Jim's food for the next month, in order to avoid exposing Jim's existence, he did not instruct the servant to prepare, but asked Jim to quietly go to the kitchen to get it himself, which was difficult for a rat from the "thief" route.
Since it was unlikely that he would encounter a life-and-death struggle this month, in order to avoid the negative impact, Glerint put away the "witch's makeup mirror" and "rage" and did not carry them with him.
He simply brought with him two magical items, the "Ring of Discipline" and the "Change", which had almost no negative effects.
After arranging all these chores, Gleilynt did not bring many miscellaneous items, just two sets of clothes and a few daily necessities, and then went directly to the training place.
Of course, it is not possible to train directly on the fourth floor of the "Royal Theatre", where there is a lot of work, a certain amount of secrecy is required, and there is also a lack of space.
The training took place in a villa in the West End, and the two coaches in charge of the training also ate and lived with them.
One of these two teachers taught them language and culture, and the other taught martial arts and task techniques.
MI9 is the intelligence service, and the military is responsible for the real battle or war, and they are more about collecting information.
For such a mission, how to effectively disguise, communicate, and steal secrets is more important than how to fight.
————————————————————————
Since they were already able to speak frankly, Gleilynt and his two companions were not learning at the same pace.
Originally, Casey assigned the three members of the group a learning task of learning language and customs in the morning, and in the afternoon learning martial arts, shooting skills and task skills.
But when Grelynt was learning to speak both of his peers, he often found another teacher to train him alone.
And thanks to the training he received from Coliff a few years ago, he has a good foundation in fighting and shooting, so he trains very quickly. The combination of the two aspects makes him far more than just a step ahead of his peers.
In the first two weeks, he met the requirements of the entire training program. For the remaining two weeks, Glerint was in intensive training.
On the one hand, this was originally about his own safety, and he didn't dare to take it lightly. On the other hand, it was also because Casey did not allow him to leave early.
In the blink of an eye, the three of them finished their four-week study, and the time came to February 18.
In the past month, Gleilint has hardly found any opportunity to play, and the potion can be said to be completely undigested, which makes him a little anxious.
Because of the extra properties, he had to digest more slowly.
The normal low-order potion digestion takes a month to half a year, and when he digested the "lawyer" before, he summed up the rules of acting almost from the beginning. But even then, it took him almost a month and a half to fully complete the digestion.
By analogy, the digestion time of his Sequence Eight potion would not be less than two or three months.
That is, even if everything goes completely well, he will not be promoted to "bribe-taker" until May and June. This is based on the premise that the recipe and materials are quite smooth.
In the Southern Continent, in MI9, the formula is easy to say, but the materials are extremely difficult.
Of course, it wasn't too late to be promoted to Sequence Seven in May or June, after all, Crane hadn't been born yet.
But he has to think about the follow-up digestion!
After all, his goal is not to be caught up by Klein before Sequence 3, and only then can he do some favors and change some deeply regrettable things.
And the speed of Klein's promotion ......
In the middle and low rows, even if Glerint was three or four sequences ahead, he didn't have any confidence to accomplish the above goal.
It's not that Klein is particularly genius, but that the other party has suffered too much. Whether with good intentions or malicious intentions, many bigwigs are pushing him and forcing him forward.
