Section 121 Colorful Flags Fluttering, Red Flags Not Falling (3)
"Miss Tiffany, don't worry, I'll do my best, but I'll have to see how the old knight is doing. Galahad said in a deep voice.
Tiffany rubbed her eyes again, and led the two of them upstairs to the old knight's bedroom.
When he reached the spiral bend of the stairs, he suddenly heard a hurried voice next to him.
"Stephanie, my darling, who did you take to visit your grandfather, you can't be so casual, ah, it's Mr. Solomon. ”
By the end of the sentence, Mrs. Smith's voice had turned to surprise.
Smith himself followed, and his enthusiasm made Solomon feel unbearable, snatching Solomon directly from his niece, and then giving him a warm bear hug.
"Mr. Solomon, you need to help me. Smith said seriously.
Then he unceremoniously expressed his wish to Solomon, hoping that Solomon would help him say a few kind words to the merchants and turn him from the head of the guard to one of them.
Simply put, it was for him to do business with those merchants, rather than just being hired.
Looking at Smith's warm eyes, and next to his lover, Solomon was of course inconvenient to refuse, and nodded and promised to help him say something, so that he could have the opportunity to follow those merchants.
Seeing that his wish had come true, Smith was so excited that his nose turned a little red.
Since Solomon introduced him to the merchants of the commodity exchange, he has united some of his best friends, and hired some wandering warriors to form a small mercenary group to serve the merchants.
And on several occasions, he also accepted the employment of merchants, and served as the escort of merchants in the heteroplane several times with powerful partners in the team. I learned about some of the ways in which businessmen made money.
His eyes were red with envy. But after this experience. He also knew that this was not something he could just get into.
It is a circle that requires not only strength, but also wisdom and connections.
Don't say that he can't coerce the merchants, he is just a lowly nobleman, although his status in society is slightly higher than that of the merchants, and the merchants should maintain respect when they see him, but in fact the merchants are much richer than him. If you have a relationship with some wealthy families or powerful ministers of the royal party, it is not difficult to deal with him, even ordinary businessmen can also use money to hire force to protect themselves, without fear of his threat.
Even if he could really threaten the merchants to forcibly join them, the merchants would have many ways to isolate him, and even play with him, so that he would not be able to earn anything and have nothing to say.
Unless, as he is doing now, he can find someone with enough face and deterrence to speak for him, who can not only get the businessmen to agree to join that circle. And he has to be so big that others really buy his account and are willing to take him to make money.
It was unlikely that this would have been the noble man Smith had ever met. If you look at the kingdom, you have to do it at least at the level of the big noble families, like the Spencers, or the ministers of the royal party, Regina.
But the good news is that Solomon happens to be one of the people he knows.
Although Solomon was not from a big aristocratic background and took the route of a royal party and an important minister, his own foundation seems to be a little shallow, and the time for his rise is too short.
However, Solomon's relationship with the merchants of the commodity exchange seems to be strange, and this flavor makes the enthusiastic Mr. Smith faintly feel different in his experience, because the merchants he follows mention Solomon with unusual respect.
It includes reverence and fear of power, but it seems to be more than that.
And after Solomon's identity was recently revealed, Mr. Smith made up his mind to ask Solomon for help.
Solomon is now the Undersecretary of Commerce, and this position is the assistant to the Minister of Trade in the newest cabinet, and he is in direct contact with and can influence the interests of the merchants, and he can definitely help with this.
It wasn't until his niece cried out in annoyance, and the white-armored knight next to him, who looked very powerful, coughed a few times in embarrassment, that Smith realized what he should be doing now, as if his father was seriously ill.
He was a little embarrassed to put on a sad look, and Mrs. Smith came to her senses, and gave up her intention to speak for her husband on the sidelines.
Tiffany was so angry that she could not care about her daughter's reserve, so she took Solomon's hand again and walked quickly into the room where the old knight was sleeping.
After entering the room, Tiffany suppressed the unhappiness just now, and slowed down her steps again.
The old knight lay in the middle of the room on a large bed with a thick quilt.
Now that winter has passed, and summer is about to begin, but there is still a fireplace burning in the room, which shows that the old knight's body is getting weaker and weaker, and he has reached a dangerous situation.
"Grandfather, Mr. Solomon has come to see you. Tiffany said softly.
The quilt squirmed on the big bed, and Tiffany hurriedly stepped forward to help her beloved elder turn around.
Then Solomon saw the knight Adam, the old knight who had only seemed to be able to imagine his old days, and now he could hardly believe his eyes.
He was so weak that his whole body was dry, his cheeks were deeply sunken, and his eyes were dull.
He couldn't even sit up, he was still wrapped in the covers.
"Solomon, I remember you. The old man smiled hard, and he looked at Solomon and then at Tiffany.
Solomon didn't dare to slack off, nor did he dare to say too many kind words to waste the old knight's remaining spirit, and said bluntly: "Old Mr. Adam, I heard that you were sick before, but I didn't expect to be so strict, otherwise I should have come to see you earlier." I happen to be with the Galahad Knight of the God of War Church today, and maybe he can help you. ”
With that, he stepped back a little and let Paladin Galahad step forward.
The old knight turned his eyes on the bed and saw Galahad, and said tremblingly, "You are a paladin, right?"
"Yes, old sir, will you let me try to help you?" said Galahad.
"Huh. back then. Among my fellow fighters is one of your paladins from the Church of the God of War. I still remember how brave and righteous he was, literally the embodiment of the god of war. The old knight seemed to be caught in some kind of memory, and slowly closed his eyes.
However, it was not without benefits, when he opened his eyes again, not only had his feelings subsided, but he was also willing to accept Galahad's treatment.
Galahad stood in front of the old knight's bed, his hands outstretched above his head.
A golden light shone through his palm, a bit like a flashlight's pillar of light emitting from his palm. Enveloped the old knight's body.
This is the effect of advanced healing, and it is concentrated on the old knight alone.
Belief in different gods may not be the same magic that can be obtained, the magic that the God of War Church is good at is not healing, and the magic of the Church of Light is better in this regard.
But according to the current relationship between Asturias and the Church of Light, it is unlikely that Solomon will invite the archbishop of the Church of Light to come, even if it is the Church of the God of War, because Galahad is now temporarily sent by the church to Solomon's side to assist, and his status as a paladin is a little different from that of ordinary paladins, and ordinary paladins can master intermediate healing techniques at most. He has mastered advanced healing techniques.
Solomon watched intently as Galahad performed the magic of the Church of War, his hand clenched tightly by Tiffany. Smith's expression was a little complicated, and Mrs. Smith quietly lowered her head.
The light lingered on the old knight for a few moments before Galahad relented.
"Sir, do you feel better?" said Galahad, uncertainly.
Well, a sigh came from the bed, "Thank you, young paladin, but even advanced healing techniques can't save my life, because my life is like a broken and unhealed skin, and water is leaking out of it. The effect of healing can no longer provoke the self-healing of life, and your ability alone cannot stop the call of death. ”
There was a sound of crying in the room, and Tifanie involuntarily leaned towards Solomon, snuggled into his arms, tears welling up in her eyes.
The old knight's words pointed out that the healing had no effect on him, because his life had been inexorably weakened and ruined.
The effect of any healing technique is twofold, one is to temporarily fill the wounded with the energy transmitted by the practitioner, and at the same time stimulate the vitality of the injured person, so that the injury can be quickly restored.
Therefore, even if they are bathed in the same healing light, with different physiques and different ranks, their recovery is not the same.
Therefore, whether or not you are still attached to life and whether you have a firm belief will affect the healing effect in a certain way.
The more firm the faith, the more you will believe in the magic arts, and the easier it is to stimulate the mysterious vitality in life; and the healing effect produced by magic is more than a step worse in stimulating the injured person's own active desire to survive, not that the injured person has no idea of survival, but that under the effect of magic, the injured person may not wholeheartedly believe that the healing technique can save his life; therefore, even if the magic analyzes the healing magic and completely reproduces it, its effect cannot be fully achieved; and the caster's firm belief is not comparable to magic, and the magic can only be constant for a certain period of effect and range (such as between 1o-2o), to produce this effect, it is necessary to pay more (referring to more mana or other source power), and accurately form an effective way to cast more energy (turn these mana into effective ways to increase the healing effect, such as a change in the spell model or spells, or some mediums), not to say that just increasing the output of the source force can achieve a simultaneous transformation of quantity and quality, maybe if the output of the transformation source power is different, it will in turn cause damage.
For example, if both the caster and the recipient have pious beliefs, it is not inconceivable that the effect of high-level healing will be produced, and it will only be regarded as a godly gift from the gods.
But these miracles did not appear on the old knight, as he said, his vitality has decayed to the point of almost no saving, he can only sit and watch the vitality continue to flow out, even the effect of advanced healing can only forcibly build a long causeway in his body, but his body is cracking all the time, and Galahad cannot always maintain the effect of advanced healing.
Galahad glanced at Solomon in embarrassment, not that he was not doing his best, but that he was powerless.
The body of the warrior rank is easy to decay in old age, especially the warrior who has mastered the fighting spirit, the fighting spirit is generated by the source of life, although the power is powerful, it can help the warriors resist damage, but it is also tapping their own potential, hollowing out the body in disguise, so the body is easy to decay in old age.
Therefore, once you pass the peak of your body, you must find a way to maintain yourself, use the best things, eat the best things to fill this shortfall, and some even need some specific items, if you can get something to increase your longevity and enhance the essence of life, it will be even better. These are not easy for one person to do, and daily needs also require a lot of money, so even high-level warriors have to be attached to a certain force for their future and old age. (To be continued!)
