After a few days of recuperation, Lambert's health gradually improved. In the past few days of recuperation in bed, he has thought a lot, not only was he injured in the chest by a sneak attack when he met the demon fox, but he was seriously injured to the point of coma during the battle with the demon spider, although he successfully killed the demon spider and successfully promoted to the seventeenth level, but this time the battle was really too risky, just a little bit, he would be killed by the enemy, but luck was still on his side.
Thinking back to the time when he used to study with Teacher Odin, the speed of upgrading was already very fast compared to ordinary people, but he had upgraded from level one to level seventeen in half a month, and no one would believe it if this speed was said at all, if it wasn't for Nicole seeing it with her own eyes, she would never believe that an ordinary demon hunter could be promoted to level seventeen in half a month.
The reason why he was so easily injured was largely because he wasn't wearing the armor of a demon hunter. On the continent of Alc, decades of fighting between humans and demons gave birth to the profession of demon hunters, and at the same time, blacksmiths who forged armor for demon hunters also came into being. The armor of the demon hunter is different from the ordinary armor, the armor of the demon hunter pays more attention to the defense of demon attacks, for example, through the special materials taken from the demon, plus other materials, you can create various types of attacks that resist the demon's venom, magic, illusion, etc., the low-level demon hunter armor can generally only resist one type of attack, the more advanced the demon hunter armor, the more types and numbers of demon attacks it can defend, but in fact, the manpower and financial resources required are also very high. The best Demon Hunter armor will only be worn on the best Demon Hunter.
The reason why the Demon Hunter Armor is so powerful is that it is not only able to defend against demonic attacks, but also has a certain defensive ability against other Demon Hunter's spell attacks, mage's magic attacks, and so on.
However, due to the sealing of demons thirty years ago, the human race began a civil war, which not only led to the gradual decline of the demon hunter profession, but also the blacksmith who made the armor for the demon hunter. Now that the demon has reappeared on the Alk Continent, there is hardly any fresh blood replenishment except for the original old blacksmith, so the price of the so-called demon hunter armor in the folk is rising exponentially, and for an ordinary person, it is impossible to buy a set of medium-level demon hunter armor with all his savings. But for the Oss Empire and the Dolores Empire, there is no such trouble, because the emperors of the two empires who participated in the war with the demons thirty years ago, even when the demons were sealed, still spent money to raise the top blacksmiths who made armor for demon hunters, saying that this is a habit, saying that it is a good situation, or saying that it is prepared, at least the great general of the Oss Empire, Fira, has several sets of the top demon hunter armor on the continent.
After Lambert recovered from his injury, the first thing he wanted to do was to go to the blacksmith shop to get a set of demon hunter armor, when he used to study with Mr. Oden, the armor he gave himself was already broken and could not be worn anymore, but for the current price of the demon hunter armor, Lambert had also heard about it, with the economic strength of his own tavern, he would definitely not be able to afford a set of medium-level armor. However, when he asked his father Albert for money, his father's behavior surprised him a little.
Father and son sat at the door of the Rose Tavern, under the bright moonlight.
"This is some of the savings I've saved over the years, and I originally wanted to open a bigger tavern for you in the future, but it seems that I don't need it now. The demon is back on the continent of Alk again, this time I don't know if the humans can defeat the demon again, you are our son, and the student of that old fellow of Odin, when you come back with a wound every time you fight, your mother and I feel extremely heartbroken, if you can, who would want your son to go to war against the demon? Albert smoked a cigarette and sat down next to Lambert, smiling as he handed Lambert a small package with his other hand
"Father, Teacher Odin gave me a lot of responsibility before he died, and I can't let him down, so even if I die in battle, I don't hesitate to do it, but I can't help but cherish my life, in order to fulfill Teacher Odin's entrustment, I must make myself stronger." In the moonlight, Lambert's expression was very determined, and at this moment, Albert really felt that his child had grown up, even though he was only seventeen years old.
Lambert took the parcel from his father, and when he took the bag of money, he felt the weight of the parcel.
"Here are fifteen hundred gold coins, it is your mother's life savings and my life, and we also have a little money for the purchase, originally I wanted to give you a thousand gold coins, but when the little girl named Nicole brought you back that day, your mother saw that you were so badly injured, and said that she would give you all the money, and every extra gold coin may be able to make you suffer less damage on the battlefield, and maybe at the critical moment, you can save your name." Albert smiled and touched Lambert's head, choking slightly on the cigarette and coughing twice.
"Father... Thank you..."Lambert's eyes were already moist, but he didn't say much, because both he and Albert understood that many of a man's emotions don't need to be expressed in words.
