Chapter Twenty-Four: Joel Chok

Arthur, who stopped, thought of Eivor.

The stall owner who was very impressed with yesterday's lunch 'appetizer'.

That sweet, that sour.

Arthur now feels a toothache when he thinks about it.

Most importantly, the enthusiasm of the other party.

To be honest, Arthur under normal conditions can't stand people who are too enthusiastic.

When facing the enemy, Arthur can kill the other party without hesitation, or he can be hypocritical, but under normal circumstances, as soon as the other party greets an enthusiastic stall owner like Eivor, Arthur feels that he should buy something.

It's not expensive, but it's really not delicious.

But if you don't buy it, you're a little upset.

In short, very contradictory.

Arthur often consoles himself with the excuse that 'people are contradictory'.

However, when encountering this kind of 'contradictory (embarrassing)' thing, this brilliant 'psychic medium', who is respected as a master, first stood in front of the gate of his house, confirmed that there was no food truck at the corner of the street, and then trotted all the way across Kirk Street to Simak Avenue.

Standing at the intersection of Kirk Street and West Merk Avenue, Arthur glanced back, and when he hadn't found Eivor's food truck, he let out a long breath and began to walk towards the 'Joel Chock Sword Club' in his previous memories with a relaxed attitude.

The predecessor was very fond of swordsmanship, and although he did not have outstanding talents, he was very fond of the swordsmanship club of Nanlos.

Not only the dozen or so well-known swordsmanship clubs in the Shire district, but even the few dilapidated swordsmanship clubs in the old city that could go out of business at any time, all know the predecessors.

Arthur, however, did not choose those ones.

He directly chose the most famous 'Joel Chok Sword Club'.

Although there is a so-called 'pearl in the sea', the 'Joel Chok Kendo Club', which was able to win the third place in the last 'Sword Fighting Competition', also has a lot of gold.

Best of all, there's no need to look hard.

Arthur stood in front of the door, looking at the entire 'Joel Chock Sword Club'.

Located in the first half of West Merk Boulevard, the club occupies a three-storey building, with exposed brick walls covered with rocks of various sizes, which make people feel sturdy and reliable at first glance, and a wooden signboard that avoids the cross-facing windows and hangs between the first and second floors, with the name 'Jolchok' written in a large monolithic letter, and at the end of the sign is written in small floral script with the suffix 'Swordsmanship, Horse Spear, Tournament (Melee) Club'.

Immediately spears, tournaments, Arthur knows.

In the memory of the predecessor, I yearn for these two projects very much.

In particular, the 30-man race in the original championship made the predecessor unforgettable, and from time to time he would say, 'He can also have Marshall's honor'!

Even when he was told that Marshall was one of the greatest knights of his time, his predecessor did not have the slightest timidity, and still thought that he could become, or even surpass, the other.

This optimism made Arthur quite admired.

It's a pity that with the end of the Holy Empire and the advent of gunpowder, these two items have long lost their original brilliance, and the items that used to have 'not won three times in a row in a spear on a horse' and 'not knocking out the opponent's teeth in the tournament' can be called 'knights', but now they are only included in the 'sword club', and they are not even eligible to be mentioned.

Arthur didn't care about that.

Because, he knows, if it weren't for the tradition of the 'Sword Fighting Competition' in Nanjun, and the 'Sword Fighting Competition' has rich rewards, I'm afraid even the 'Sword Club' would be gone.

Without him, the firebolt is too easy to use.

It's not just convenient, it's powerful.

To sum up in a word, it is-

Times have changed!

With a sigh in his heart, Arthur pushed open the door of the 'Joel Chok Sword Club'.

The door is a heavy wooden door, to Arthur's surprise, there are traces of sword chopping on it, look closely, Arthur found that this heavy door is also two-tiered, in the original wooden door, inlaid with the shield that was once used, and with the rock pasted on the brick wall, Arthur's first thought is 'castle'.

Subsequently, it came to mind that the owner of the 'Jolchok Sword Club' had quite a business acumen.

At least, know how to package your own industry.

In fact, the same is true.

As Arthur pushed the door open, he was greeted by a lady dressed in a modified autumn hunting suit.

The traditional autumn hunting suit is composed of a set of trousers, boots, hunter lining similar to a vest and a windbreaker, but the lady in front of her is only wearing an indoor suit, omitting the windbreaker, not to mention, the vest is gone, only hunting trousers, round-toed leather boots and a shirt that is one size smaller, the tight shirt makes the lady's figure show off, and the hunting trousers are raised to the waistline, wearing such a body, not only the legs are longer, but also the waist is thinner.

On top of that, the lady couldn't see the top of her feet when she looked down.

Coupled with her beautiful appearance and sweet voice, you will be able to gain the favor of your guests immediately.

"Sir, are you visiting Jorcok for the first time? Do you need to ask you for an introduction? ”

"Thank you very much."

As Arthur smiled and nodded, the hostess immediately introduced enthusiastically.

There was nothing unusual in his expression, which made Arthur confirm that only he could smell the smell.

"We have four floors here, the three floors above ground are for swordsmanship, dining room, and lounge, and the basement level is where you can practice shooting, horse spears, tournaments, etc. However, spears and tournaments are available for an additional fee in addition to the membership fee. ”

After a general introduction, the hostess informed Arthur of her name, and at the same time, began to introduce the main points.

"We are divided into regular members and VIP members here."

Arthur didn't interject, and motioned with his eyes for the other to continue.

"Ordinary members, who need 20 suo per month, can use all the facilities on the ground."

"VIP members, 45 soos per month, in addition to the above-ground and underground facilities can be used, there is also a coach to guide personally."

With that, Amy quietly looked at Arthur.

After discovering that there was no shock, hesitation, or apprehension on that young, handsome face, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The fees at the 'Joel Chok Sword Club' are not cheap.

In particular, after finishing third in the last 'Sword Fighting Competition', the fees of the 'Jorcok Kendo Club' have skyrocketed.

20 or 45 suo per month has long exceeded the upper limit of the average family.

Only the wealthy middle class, merchants, and aristocrats could afford to spend it.

But how many such people are there?

Even if these people are concentrated in the Shire district, there are still too few such people, because the richest merchants and nobles have their own swordsmanship teachers, and they will not come to the club at all, only those who are left are the middle class, but these middle-class who seem to be the most unstable.

Amy has seen a lot of bankruptcies in middle-class families in the past year or so.

A trip to the sea, a storm, can put these seemingly good-looking middle-class families on the streets.

Looking at Arthur, Amy didn't want Arthur to suffer any of this.

In addition to the fact that Arthur is young, handsome and good-looking, Amy thinks that Arthur should not have suffered these tragic things, because she hopes to get a commission.

In addition to the basic salary, the owner of the 'Jorcok Sword Club' also has a very generous commission, and it is precisely because of this commission that the club's receptionists work harder and harder.

Amy is one of them.

To make her argument more convincing, the young hostess immediately added.

"Our instructors are all swordsmen with dozens or hundreds of actual battles!"

"If you put it in the Seven Years' War, they would all be the elite of the army!"

Hearing this, Arthur smiled.

Not a mockery, but a kind smile.

After all, he is playing the elite.

Isn't the reason why the famous 'Joel Chok Sword Club' was chosen for the powerful swordsman and the advanced swordsmanship mastered by the opponent?

As for Amy's careful thoughts?

It's just human nature.

Didn't he come with a purpose?

This in itself is a mutually beneficial deal.

Of course, there are some things that need to be said earlier.

Thinking of this, he asked—

"Is it so powerful? Can I try it? ”
