Chapter 7: Forest Cultivation
Passers-by in a hurry walk in front of a simple and solid house, while the aristocratic and wealthy quarters on the west side of the Rhine St. Grace are the opposite, with luxurious private villas, exquisite Gothic architecture and a harmonious mix of pastel colours, which make commoners stand and watch from a distance.
Some young people with dreams of making a fortune, they stood in the distance, watching the carriages move as quietly as possible in them, and in them sat a certain high-ranking official of the Rhine, a noblewoman of a certain family.
Unlike the places where civilians live, there is little greenery to look at, and there are all kinds of self-employed signs for subsistence, such as some steaming delicatessen vendors who are shouting loudly. In the aristocratic and wealthy quarters, you can see many ornamental trees, green lawns, and a small river that is a tributary of the Diana River.
Located in the northwest of the Franco-Austrian Alliance, the economic support here is mainly based on the mining of coal resources and the trading of derivatives of monsters (such as the processing of raw materials for some southerners' favorite delicate fur clothes, the processing and production of monster meat, etc.).
As a result, many Franco-Austrian merchants from the south came to the northern border, bringing large amounts of cash to buy large quantities of resources, and they formed groups of local townsmen to charter a short stretch of steam trains to bring these specialties of the Franco-Austrian alliance to the central and southern regions.
These southerners were rich and wealthy, and they were very good at using the chain of interests in their hands to collude with the powerful nobles in the city.
In the northern part of the Rhine, it was home to hunters, mercenaries and rangers, as well as a commercial market frequented by merchants.
The low-ranking warriors were usually veterans who had not made great contributions on the battlefield, and their natural qualifications prevented them from making greater achievements in the cultivation of the Yuan Point, so many of them came here to live the life of hunters who licked blood from the knife and dreamed of death.
As is well known, it is a zone of high conflict that is often the focus of the city's military, and a place where commerce is exceptionally thriving and vibrant.
Lin Luowen held a note in his hand asking for leave from the head of the teaching office, and similar to him, the students who ignited the yuan point such as Cyrus and Fina had already taken a leave of absence yesterday, ready to spend more money in the rest of the time to make further breakthroughs.
In one part of the campus, a tall tower-like body appeared in front of Lin Luowen's eyes.
"Dear Instructor Tienoso, greetings to your student Lin Luowen." Lin Luowen gently stroked his left chest with his right hand, bowed slightly, and showed a smile.
Instructor Tienoso nodded, a small smile squeezing out of his hideous face, and he could tell that he was thinking about something annoying.
Tienoso is a fourth-level battle master, but he is a civilian with a very ordinary family background, and in his actual combat assessment in the college entrance examination that year, he was just a guy who ignited a yuan point at the bottom of the ranking.
Subsequently, he chose to join the army, and in his eventful and brutal battlefield years, he loved the feeling of throwing his head and spilling blood on the battlefield. However, as they get older, perhaps like many older singles, they have worries about getting married or marrying.
However, buying a house in the Rhine is not something that a simple generation can afford, especially for families who are not wealthy.
As Tenoso was seriously wounded, he retired from the battlefield, leaving behind many roots and wounds, not only physical pain, but also soul sorrow. The howls of those battlefield souls, the tragic death of the soldiers who had a fateful friendship with you and blocked the sword for you, their desperate and resolute expressions appeared in the dead of night.
Can you imagine the scene of a steely man suddenly waking up in the middle of the night, holding his head and crying silently? And as an iron-blooded battlefield warrior, he does not have the flexible mind of a businessman who is good at grasping profits, so it is difficult for him to have a huge amount of money to create a good living condition for the future.
"Loewen, be brave enough to take on your life, don't be afraid, don't be afraid." The boy looked at the dazzling figure of the Iron Solo instructor who had already passed by and turned his head in the sunlight. He nodded earnestly, and stretched out his right hand to make a fist.
Peter, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, was sorting out the bills at the counter, and from time to time he used the fine brush in his hand to quickly dip the ink in his hand and write down a pen of money on the ledger.
Lin Luowen sat on a wooden stool in the knowledge bookstore, quietly looking at the familiar place.
He remembered that three years ago, when he was in the second grade of junior high school, his father took him to the knowledge store to meet Peter, and Peter offered him a job.
The monthly salary was only fifteen copper coins, but knowledge was priceless, and Peter taught himself a lot like a life coach, and also gave himself the opportunity to learn knowledge.
After a while, Peter's chubby face lifted. "Uncle Peter, I need eight small high-energy nutrient elixirs, ten medium-sized high-energy nutrient elixirs, and one large high-energy nutrient potion. I also need a yellow-level mid-tier longsword. ”
In the actual combat assessment of the college entrance examination, you can choose a yellow-level mid-level weapon and armor.
He walked out of the small door of the basement with leisurely steps, holding a medicine bag in his hand and handing it to Lin Luowen.
The boy opened the sac, and there were nineteen high-energy nutrient potions of the same size, but the colors were different, the large ones were dark blue, the medium ones were blue, and the small ones were light blue. It corresponds to the cultivation of warriors from the first to the third level.
Peter opened the long black strip in his other hand, revealing the scabbard of the long sword wrapped in black cloth, and a long sword with a length of more than one meter and four meters was unsheathed, and the sharp blade could be seen flashing with cold light. On the hilt of the sword there are two small letters, Shen Qing.
Lin Luowen handed the two gold coins to Peter and said goodbye.
Lin Luowen walked out of the knowledge bookstore, carrying a long sword covered by black cloth on his back. Peter looked slightly at the back of the boy in the distance, lowered his head and sighed softly, and the brush continued to write something.
At this time, there were still several hours before noon, and Lin Luowen, wearing a hat, was walking on the noisy and noisy streets, and a horse-drawn carriage passed by from time to time, most of which were small businessmen from other places who had just come here and wanted to see the local customs and customs, but were unwilling to get off the car and walk.
There is a small urban forest on the eastern outskirts of the Rhinetown, and the more you walk to the east, the more remote and quiet it becomes, and it is a place that many elderly people living in the eastern suburbs of the Rhine like to visit.
Lin Luowen planned to go there, he needed to cultivate the Yellow Level Skill Concealment Technique there, not only that, but also to better adapt to different environments.
Walking along the Diana River, passing by the Rhine Church of Grace, one can see some monks dressed in black with a cross pendant on their chests. In some of the few words, there is a slight description of the meaning of the cross, which is said to be the embodiment of some kind of natural law of heaven and earth.
Lin Luowen trotted to a high-end restaurant called the Demon Beast Restaurant and spent five silver coins to buy a pound of green beef. The green cow is a first-class demon beast, and because it is relatively easy to domesticate and raise, it is the meat choice of many wealthy people. A piece of cooked beef was cut into slices and wrapped in oiled paper, making Lin Luowen's pocket look a little warm.
Half an hour later, Lin Luowen, who was slightly breathing, saw a lush forest. On the outskirts of the forest there were some old men and women walking, and as we entered the interior of the forest, the population became more and more sparse.
After a quarter of an hour, it was far from the outside and seemed very quiet. Some of the sunlight that is not dazzling shines through the rain and dew in the early morning, shining in Lin Luowen's eyes, and there are some hazy colors. The remains of leaves on the ground had turned black humus, and in the distance there was a small river and shoal.
The boy placed the green beef in his pocket and the dark blue sword wrapped in black cloth on a large stone, and sat down on a flat stone not far away.
Consciousness touched the whirlpool in his mind and reappeared in front of the little tree, the appearance of the small tree did not change, and there was a little light above the thousands of branches and leaves. The fruit was ripe, and as the liquid flowed into the throat, a stream of heat filled the body.
Less than an hour later, Lin Luowen opened his eyes, and there was some joy on his face, not only because the second yuan point had been polished halfway, but also because the time consumed by this huge energy consumption was a little less than the last time. It seems that some of the effects of the Yuan Fruit and the Ning Yuan Fruit have played a certain role.
In the study career of high school, every student has the opportunity to choose the corresponding weapon for training, Lin Luowen chose the sword, many people are like this, but the long sword used for training is only mortal-level, that is, a weapon that has not entered the grade, such as the steel dagger given by his father.
Therefore, Lin Luowen felt the slightly heavy Shen Qing Sword and began to train the most basic sword moves.
With the speed and strength of the sword that was much faster than before, Lin Luowen gradually adjusted his posture and method to adapt to his own strength.
Two hours later, Lin Luowen was already sweating and very tired, his face was red, his fingers were trembling slightly, he poured all the water in the water bladder in one go, and filled the clear river with water. Lying on the grass in a large shape, his face had a slight feeling of excitement after a strenuous exercise, yes, he was much stronger than before.
