Chapter 58: Counting

The meeting of Murraytown went very smoothly on the premise that Delia simply gave up the actual command of the knights, and most of the representatives of all parties involved were very happy.

After talking in the morning, a very grand banquet was held at noon as usual, and Howard, the knight commander, knew that there was basically nothing important to discuss in the afternoon, so he also let go and invited Delia, Ed and others to drink with all the knights.

It's just that this old guy still remembers Ed's bravery, and has been looking for an opportunity to stay away from the boy, as if he knows that Ed is going to ask him for a little more ice, fire, stone wine.

Under the strong suggestion of the engraving, Ed was going to try it with a shy face, not to mention the taste of this thing, just the effect of stimulating and increasing his spiritual energy was enough to make people flock to it.

Ordinary bronze-level psionic knights may not be able to resist its powerful alcohol strength and stimulating psionic energy, and they will fall asleep after drinking a little, but Ed is different, there is an engraved seal to help him mobilize psionic energy cultivation in any state, and this wine really gives him a multiplier cultivation effect with half the effort.

However, Howard is not stupid, it would be good if this baby could be taken out once, where to give Ed a second chance to speak.

Delia didn't know the key very well, the mystery of the Ice and Fire Stone Wine didn't even know the ordinary psionic knights, and she, a magician, naturally didn't know either, at the banquet, due to the previous high-profile delegated power to the young commander, the young commander had accumulated a high popularity among the young knights, and everyone came over to toast.

Delia couldn't refuse all ruthlessly, so she had to drink a little bit to thank her, and the little money added up, and the fifty or so knights in Murray Town took turns to fight, which also made her take care of herself.

After the morning meeting, Andrei, as the representative of the army of ordinary soldiers on Delia's side, also attended the banquet, but in the eyes of all the knights, he was just an ordinary person, and even if the non-psionic person was close to Commander Deria, he would receive limited respect, and no knight would put down his body to accompany him.

Andre also fell easily, in addition to the original more than forty knights in Murray Town, there are also a large number of ordinary soldiers, the previous Ingier elite army suffered heavy casualties during the sneak attack, and it has not been replenished, but the total number is still around five thousand.

The sober Andre took the opportunity of the banquet to obtain the actual control of the five thousand people from the hands of the half-drunk knights with the help of Ed.

The process is also very simple, after last night's bet, there is no knight present who does not respect Ed, at this time they all give him a face, plus the generosity of Delia in the morning, there is no reason for them to keep these ordinary soldiers.

It is impossible for the psionic knights themselves to really participate in the organization of ordinary soldiers, generally speaking, after they command the troops, they will arrange a deputy who is responsible for actually controlling the command and dispatch of the army, and there is a group of people under this deputy to control the big and small matters in the army, and the knights give orders, and they ordinary people just do it.

Since the general knights will temporarily recruit soldiers from their own territory when they go out on expeditions, and they are usually in charge of the stewards in their own castles, including most of the candidates who serve as deputies in the back are also selected from the stewards, so the actual person in charge of the army is generally called a deacon.

Andre is the deacon of Ed or Delia in the eyes of others, and now the handover of soldiers is naturally connected by him and these knights' own deacons, such a group of ordinary people feel uncomfortable at the banquet of the psionic knights, and the master leaves the hall immediately after the handover, and goes outside to finish some official business, and leave to have fun.

Ed watched Andre leave with dozens of deacons, knowing that his companion must be busy behind him, and while he and Delia were dealing with the drinking party, he had to deal with a lot of complicated things alone, and scattered the five thousand soldiers into his own army.

Maybe he and Di Liya are too much, and they should take the time to care about this unknown companion, and his infinite scenery in front of the stage is really indispensable for his silent support behind the scenes. ”

Ed thought about it for a while, and found that his understanding of the army was at the end of Andre's level, and then he didn't know who was in charge of what specific things, and what helpers did Andre have to help him run the army?

This is exactly the same as a native aboriginal psyker, who doesn't know anything about his own army, and leaves it to the deacon to be in charge, and he only needs to take the lead in the charge, and he blindly and arrogantly believes in personal force, is he also assimilated? Don't you know the importance of ordinary soldiers, with the power of Di Liya's star spirit, you should pay more attention to it in the future, why do you ignore it.

Ed reflected that at this point, Andre was indeed ahead of him.

No matter what the boy thought, he could only stay in the banquet now, accompany Di Liya to prevent her from drinking too much.

The girl was indeed a little drunk, her pretty face was flushed with two red clouds, and there was a layer of sweat on her smooth forehead.

The sorcerer's physique doesn't seem to be as strong as the psionic knight's energy grows greater, and his resistance to alcohol is not the same, Ed saw that the situation was not good, and he didn't care about his own thoughts, so he hurriedly squeezed into the crowd and came to Deria's side.

"Look, our little hero has come to protect the flowers! I said that everyone can't let him go so cheaply, let's toast a few more glasses, and if we want to block the wine for Commander Di Liya, we have to double it!"

Ed knew by the sound that it was Howard's disrespectful old guy who was leading the way, but it was difficult to spot him in the crowd.

"This guy must have seen me leave a sentence and ran away, afraid that I would ask him for a drink again, hey? ”

After listening to Howard's words, the knights around him who had originally toasted to Di Lia shifted their targets, and they still knew that they had pity for the respectable girl commander, but Ed came, and naturally enjoyed inhuman hospitality.

"Ed, I respect you, I really didn't expect you to drink so much, even the famous Ice and Fire Stone Wine can't get you drunk, I knew I would have made a bet with that guy, my unicorn warhorse!" Tennison was the first to attack Eddard among the knights who persuaded him to drink.

"Ed, come, let's do this, go back and go into battle together to kill those Ingill fur seals, when the time comes, you can rest assured to protect Lord Deria, we will definitely take the lead in driving the enemy back to the sea!"

The half-drunk young knights around him swarmed up and entangled Eddard to death, and one by one the overflowing wine glasses were lifted and lowered in front of the young man, as if they were not willing to let him go.

The treacherous and cunning silver knight Howard had already slipped out of the battlefield at this time after shouting, and his tall figure was outside through the lively crowd, watching Ed protect in front of the slightly drunk Delia and be confused by the knights' wheel battle, and let out a hearty laugh.

"Haha, tell you kid to worry about my baby, don't let you break your belly!" Humming a small tune, the strong man who had the city in his heart turned around and left, and the deputy knight who followed him next to him wiped his sweat, deeply feeling that his master was powerful, and offending him would not end well!

A wine banquet was not temporarily suspended until sunset, and if it weren't for Di Liya's insistence, I am afraid it would have continued.

Later, the girl who gradually came to her senses helped Ed out of the hall and handed it to the knight's soldiers who were waiting outside, and finally helped him wipe the sweat from his forehead with concern.

This time he didn't let the engraving help, and the boy still couldn't hold on to the end, if it weren't for Delia's support, it is estimated that he would have crawled under the table, and left with the laughter of the last knights in the hall who could still stagger to their feet.

Not to mention how these knights would brag to their companions that they had defeated Ed, Delia ordered her soldiers to send Ed away, and walked to Andre herself, before that, she had to go to Howard in private again, this guy didn't participate in the wine war, where would he be waiting for Delia to come to the door, they still have a lot of things to discuss in private, these powerful people will never put everything in the sun, there are always some things to agree on secretly.

Ed couldn't take care of that, and when he returned to his residence, he didn't fall asleep casually, and he didn't use the psionic group to stimulate his psionic energy to dispel the alcohol, which was too wasteful.

Instead, with the help of the engraving, he sank his spirit into the illusory world built by energy to polish his will, and this time he mixed with those knights and found some opportunities to exchange cultivation experiences with each other, which was really beneficial.

Now this cultivation method of using spiritual energy to build an illusion is said to be very beneficial to enhance one's spirit until he is promoted to the gold level, although it will not directly increase spiritual energy, but sharpening the knife is not mistaken, and ordinary knights often use the drunkenness after drinking to let go of their will, and condense their minds and polish their minds in this most relaxed moment.

Ed himself actually knew this method for a long time, and it was in the cultivation method that Charlotte gave him at the beginning, but he just thought that it was a simple way to build a foundation, and he didn't use it anymore to cultivate spiritual energy, and even the engraving was just blindly pursuing the amount of spiritual energy and ignoring the importance of the foundation.

At this time, he went back and re-grasped the foundation, Ed had the help of the engraving, he could simulate a more realistic illusion, and naturally he made rapid progress, on the other hand, he picked up the cultivation method he had at the beginning, and found that there were still many places worth further studying, and spiritual energy was not as simple as it seemed, just practice step by step.

Taking this opportunity, Eddard checked the progress of all aspects of the Mind Seal.

The battle for control of the engraving itself is about 20 percent, which means that it can slightly affect its internal operation, although I don't know what the process is like, but Edtong guΓ² feels that he knows that if he wants, he can slightly change some of the decisions made by the engraving.

Perhaps this slight Cheng dΓΉ may seem inconspicuous now, but as time goes on, he believes that he can learn more about the engraving, and maybe one day in the future, when the engraving is against him under the will of its creator, this influence can bring him a ray of life.

In addition, the research on the power of the star spirit is stuck at more than eighty percent, and the progress is slow and disheartening, maybe another shock of external energy will help solve it, but Ed doesn't want to suffer another sin and gamble with his life.

The progress of the ancient holy knight's psionic exploration is also not optimistic, perhaps Ed's own psionic level is too low, his understanding of psionic energy is still on the surface, and the progress shown by the engraving is only sixty percent, which is also not up.

In terms of special abilities, he has panoramic insight and a slight fear power, all of which are auxiliary in nature, and the absorption ability should be able to give him an offensive skill, and more than thirty psionic groups are not too much.

"Maybe you should try asking Howard to preside over the initiation ceremony for yourself, the level of the Silver Knight should be about the same, but I don't know if it will work, and how to speak is also a problem. ”

Ed thought, not knowing the time outside, and now it was getting night.

Suddenly, the engraved signal sent the boy out of the spirit world, and someone came to look for him.

This time, Ed did not meet his own camp in the army camp, but Howard arranged a luxurious hotel room.

There was a quick knock on the door, very rude, "Knock knock." ”

Ed really can't remember why the other party is in such a hurry, could it be that an enemy is coming?

He jumped to the door and opened the door for the other party, outside was a Delia's personal soldier, Ed vaguely remembered his appearance, when he challenged them with a pair of fifty, this kid was stunned by Deria's side, and couldn't stop himself.

Now, under Andrei's command, the pro-soldiers are dressed in uniform with purple ribbons, on which the symbol of the emblem of Delia is depicted.

The young man ran profusely and sweaty, but still tried to suppress his disordered breathing, and said to Ed in a respectful tone as much as possible: "My lord, the Holy Maiden of Delia has urgent business for you to hurry to, and at the same time be ready to leave overnight." ”

"Is there any news from Auvare?" Ed didn't doubt the words of this ordinary soldier, and immediately turned around and walked to the side of the bed to pick up a cloth bag, as well as the two weapons he carried, Germo and the Rose Spear, Ed's hand, he had long forgotten the curse on it, and besides, there was nothing good that Murray Town could provide him, including Howard's equipment, many people had weapons in their hands that were not as good as these two rare ones.

"No, I have not heard of heralds coming from the front, the town is calm, the knights are asleep, and the Holy Maiden has given instructions suddenly. "On the way to come, the soldiers tried to remember, and they didn't find anything special.

"The Holy Maiden has sent the others to inform them separately that my brothers have gone to Lord Howard and Master Andrew. In the face of Ed, he knew everything and said everything, and he did not hide the slightest.

"Okay, you're doing a good job, did Delia give you any other tasks? If not, just follow me, let's go and see, maybe something big has happened!" Ed picked up his weapon and walked out of the hotel, there were his own soldiers gathering the others outside, and it seemed that it was still worse than Delia's men.

Ed didn't wait for them to assemble neatly, and rushed to Deria's house with the young man who gave orders, he had a hunch that the quiet and peaceful days were over, and the flowers of blood and fire would bloom from his side again, and this time on a much grander scale!
