As Xavier looked at him, the topic he had just talked about was completely ended by him, and by the way, he also reminded old Mr. Barry, hoping that he would not talk about today's events.

"Absolutely. The old man naturally nodded yes, he is not the kind of person who likes to ruin the reputation of others.

So as long as Miss Hannah didn't complain everywhere, Xavier's reputation would probably be preserved, but he was not familiar with other people's behaviors, and he could only continue to regret it in his heart.

Seeing Xavier's expression, Old Mr. Barry was embarrassed to continue to laugh at the swordsman, and at the same time, he was dragged by Xavier's topic and discussed with him the reward that Miss Hannah had just given him.

Xavier wanted to give half of it to Old Mr. Barry, because at the beginning of his crossing, he would have died on the spot if he had not been taken in by the old man and his wife.

The problem, however, was that Barry felt that the reward was too generous, and he said to Xavier in an exaggerated tone, "Divine witness, Xavier, do you know how much thirty kronor is worth? In Gournia, it only takes fifteen euros a day to feed a family of four, and one crown is worth a hundred dollars!"

"That is, thirty crowns can feed a family of four for two hundred days?" Xavier asked rhetorically.

"The young man's arithmetic skills are really good.....," Barry replied after calculating in his mind for a moment, "so it's a lot of money for a commoner, and I can't take it all." You can keep it for yourself, and you can use it when you marry Miss Hannah in the future. ”

"I don't like Miss Hannah. Xavier corrected his words for a moment, and then continued to advise, "How about I, if not, I will buy your steel sword for fifteen crowns, and at the same time as my future food and lodging here?"

After listening to Xavier's proposal, the old man Barry calculated in his mind for a while, and after concluding that he had not taken advantage of him in vain, he reluctantly accepted his fifteen crowns.

Having said that, Xavier suddenly discovered that his swordsmanship was worth so much money, he was just killing twelve water ghosts, and he could feed a family of four for more than half a year!

Of course, he didn't know, it was because the army gave too much money, and for a demon hunter, the same task might only be worth ten or even five crowns.

It was this amount of money that made Xavier feel great affection for the local garrison, and Miss Hannah's invitation was even more difficult to refuse.

It's just a detachment leader in a small village...... With the swordsmanship that I have initially fused now, I should be able to do it!" Xavier thought to himself.

In addition, according to Miss Hannah, Captain Liszt, who led the garrison here, turned out to be a knight! This means that he must have made military achievements on the battlefield, and he should have a lot of experience in battlefield battles.

If he can get proper guidance, Xavier feels that his swordsmanship should be further improved, and at the same time, he will be able to learn the training methods of the army, without having to figure it out slowly.

It can really be said that it kills two birds with one stone!

Immediately, he expressed his intention to join the army to Barry, and gave the reason he had just come up with.

"You didn't want to get close to Miss Hannah, did you?" asked Barry, suspiciously.

"How could it be......" Xavier was speechless for the old man's brain, "I'm just here to improve my own swordsmanship." ”

"To be honest, your swordsmanship is already very powerful in my eyes, and you don't need to improve much. Barry shook his head, "But if you really want to join the army, I have to warn you first. ”

Speaking of this, his gaze gradually became distant, with a little vicissitudes and sadness, as if he had thought of some bad memories.

"Since more than ten years ago, our country, the Minoan Empire, has been engaged in a series of wars with barbarians from the north, and I have heard that there was a ceasefire between the two sides for a while, but there are still skirmishes. ”

"What I fear now is that the fighting may have broken out again. Remember those water ghosts? Generally speaking, this kind of thing rarely happens, and the last time I saw so many water ghosts was probably a few years ago. ”

"And at that time, when the war was rekindled, the war from the upper reaches washed the corpses into the rivers and turned them into water spirits that we didn't want to see. ”

"So I want to tell you that once you join the army, you may be affected by the flames of war, please think about it!"

After listening to this, Xavier had to admit that he did not expect that there was a potential crisis behind a small invitation.

But...... Didn't those water ghosts come because I took the mission?Or was Mr. Barry's guess correct? Whether I took the mission or not, the water ghosts would come to Reston Village because of the war?

Thinking of the system's habit of liking people, Xavier felt that the latter was most likely the truth, or that the system gave him a task because the water ghost came, not because the system gave him the task The water ghost came over.

Seeing that Xavier was deep in thought, Old Man Barry did not continue, but let him make his own choice.

~~~~~~

"Huo!"

With the turbulent flow of air, silver light flickered continuously between heaven and earth, like a dancing silver snake, to kill all the enemies who were coming.

This is clearly Xavier practicing his sword, trying to incorporate the memories of the original owner into his soul. In order to ensure that even if you don't enter the combat state, you can skillfully use the corresponding sword moves.

It's a pity that some complex moves such as 'sword dance' are still very unskilled, and the sense of disobedience is like listening to foreigners reading Mandarin, which seems to be not wrong, but in fact you know that you will definitely not use it like this.

However, hard work is still useful, at least after a few days of hard practice, he can feel that his swordsmanship has improved accordingly, but it is not a feeling, because the system has already told him.

[Current Host Sword Skill Level: Trainee Swordsman (16/100)]

Obviously, hard training can also improve your experience points, and you don't need to take any risks, although the efficiency is a bit low, a day of hard training is equal to a water ghost, if you want to level up, you will have to practice for at least a few months.

So, he couldn't wait any longer! He decided to join the army and try to increase his experience points as soon as possible.

No, when it comes to the cruelty of war, Xavier, who has been educated for 19 years, would not be unaware of it, but he chose to join it in the end.

Because he feels that he can improve his strength as soon as possible through the system, and when the time comes, he will be able to rise to a high position with his own strength, even if the war really spreads, he is no longer the lobster soldier who is in the forefront.

What's more, even if he chooses not to join the army, won't he be affected when the war comes? It is better to take a risk and let his strength improve as soon as possible!

This is the mentality of seeking wealth and danger, and Xavier has long been aware of this.
