Chapter Twenty-Eight: Mutation
"We, the Knights' Battalion, will always support Baron Colborne......"
The one who spoke was a middle-aged man in an off-white shirt and black trousers, who was very burly, one-third longer than Gehr in both horizontal and vertical directions.
He is Gabriai, the chief instructor of the knights' battalion, and his integrity, bravery, and responsibility are synonymous with him, and he has a great reputation in Winterdusk. He and the two assistant instructors, Bot and Georgia, plus the dead Gredo and Anta, the five of them were the only five knights in the time of Baron Andrew, constituting the highest force class of the Colbenson Domain, of course, there were only three left, and they were all standing in front of Gehr now.
"Very well, the Colbenson family still needs your contribution in the future, you can take the students to start the afternoon workout, and I will go for a walk elsewhere. Gehr nodded, and walked to the side of the arena, so as not to disturb Gabriel and the training of the Preparatory Knights and Knight Apprentices.
As soon as he and Gabriai were separated, Gehr's eyes turned cold.
The Knights' Battalion is equivalent to the private soldiers led by Colbenson, consisting of three official knights, more than a dozen reserve knights, and more than thirty knight apprentices, which is a force to be reckoned with in Winterdusk Castle.
As soon as he left the core tower, Gehr came over to meet the instructors of the knights' camp to ascertain their attitude in this incident.
As Gehr expected, Gabriai did not support him with a clear banner, but said that they supported Baron Colborne, obviously making up their minds not to wade into the troubled waters this time, and whoever inherited the position of Baron Colbornson would support whomever they wanted.
But that's enough. Originally, Gehr didn't regard the knight's camp as his own strength, and now that he can use it for others, it is good news for him.
But Gabriai has been circled in red in Gehr's heart, and he belongs to the kind of person who can only be driven by ordinary subordinates and cannot become a close confidant, and he needs to be constantly vigilant and limit his influence.
No one likes wall grass, and Gehr is no exception.
The playground is a rectangular flat ground covered with a layer of fine sand.
In addition to the training of the knights' battalion, many half-grown children were also led by the deputy instructor Georgia to do basic exercises.
The boys were all wearing gray and white training uniforms of uniform style, the boys were concentrated on one side wielding wooden swords to practice basic swordsmanship such as slashing and horizontal slashing, and from time to time they let out sparse humming sounds, while the girls were holding small short bows on one side, shooting arrows at targets dozens of meters away.
Among the children, Gehr also saw his own younger siblings, whom he had just seen at dinner in the hall.
The children also spotted Gehr, and several of them were distracted, causing them to move out of shape, which attracted severe reprimands from the instructors.
"Let's go, Sophia. β
After watching for a while, Gehr left with Sophia.
In the afternoon, Gell and Sophia walked around Winterfall Castle to get a general understanding of all aspects of Winterfall. In conversations with some of the residents and shopkeepers, Gehr learned that the loss of young adults in Winterdusk was quite good, and that it was at a safe level, after all, the living conditions here were among the best in the territory. But the situation of young adults in other parts of the territory is serious, and in a few villages there is not even a single young man, and all of them have gone to work in the big cities.
Sitting in front of the writing desk, Gehr took a pen and recorded some valuable things, and in front of the writing desk were piled up some files, all of which were transferred from the library on the sixth floor about the territory, land resources, and other materials.
Gehr hoped to find clues about Earl Carter's target from these materials, but found a few things that were somewhat probable, and Gehr circled them first, preparing to go to the scene one by one in the next few days to investigate.
The candlestick above the desk flickered with a faint yellow light, shining on Gehr's face, reflecting a thin layer of fluorescence.
The search for information was over, Gehr stood up and stretched his somewhat stiff body, pushed open the wooden window in front of the desk, and let in the fresh and cold air, so that the somewhat turbid indoor air environment was clear.
Turning her head to look at Sophia, she was lying on the bed and holding Alex in her arms, and she had fallen asleep.
Seeing that Alex was also lying on the bed, Gehr frowned slightly, although Alex bathed every day and was very clean, Gehr still didn't like such a thing lying on his bed, so he walked over and picked up the little ghost fire monkey and put it on the high-backed chair with thick clothes next to the bed.
Suddenly pulled out of Meimei's dream, Alex subconsciously wanted to grin and protest to the person who disturbed his dream, but when he saw that it was Gehr, he immediately became silent and let Gehr drag it out of the warm quilt and throw it into the cold and hard clothes.
This is also the reason why the ghost fire monkey's fur is delicate and does not lose its hair, otherwise Gehr would not even let this monkey in this room.
Having solved this "trouble", Gehr sat back down at his desk, picked up another dossier and flipped through it.
This time it's not the territory information, but the complete knight training materials.
In this world, hot weapons have begun to rise, squeezing the living space of traditional cold weapons, but knights who represent skilled combat skills, strong physical fitness, and smooth and powerful swordsmanship still occupy the top layer of force.
Especially in Colbenson, far from the country's political center and next to its enemies in the north, status has never been an indicator of strength. Only the strength of the force!
The strength of the army! The strength of the strong!
This is the fundamental confidence.
As the Colbenson family, which has been handed down for hundreds of years, it has always kept a unique and complete knightly training method, which is also a secret that only the baron can access.
Don't look at the Iron Brotherhood being able to pull out five knights at once to accompany Gellai's Winter Twilight Castle, it looks the same as the number of knights that the Colbenson family had before Gredo and Anta died, but the Brotherhood of Steel is a huge national organization, with the royal family and big nobles as backers, but these five knights have already emptied all the top forces in their northern region, and the Colbenson family is just a small family on the border, so you can imagine how effective the Colbenson family's knight training methods are.
Although Geer now has good swordsmanship and bow skills, and gradually feels the power of this martial art from energy weapons, he has not experienced complete knight training after all, and many places are not satisfactory.
"Build a data model and adjust the ...... of matching attributes"
As Gehr studied the data, rows of pale blue data were rapidly refreshed in the field of vision like a waterfall, and a humanoid model that was scaled down to the same scale as Gehr began to form from scratch, and each data was matched into it, gradually forming a complete training system.
"The dynamic simulation model is complete, the recording is complete, please name the data. The chime sounded.
"Knight Training Basics. β
Gehr looked at the human body in front of him composed of countless lines demonstrating one action after another, always felt a little flawed, thought about it, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and put forward a new request.
"Integrate and optimize the Knight Training Basics, Crow Bow Technique, and Death Thorn Sword Technique. β
"Is it certain that the integration and optimization of martial arts of different systems will consume some energy?"
"Sure. β
"Integration Optimization Begins ......"
The data representing the three martial arts began to be extracted and a new model was reconstructed. At first, it went well, but suddenly countless points of light appeared from an unknown place, disrupting the data into a mess, Gehr's head ached, and the vision in front of him seemed to be distorted into a bizarre world, countless chaotic data rampaged from all directions, and consciousness continued to wander in confusion and sobriety, and was finally shattered into countless pieces......
"Warning!Warning!Unknown energy interference, prolonged continuation of this state may cause severe mental damage to the host!In view of the host's loss of active consciousness and inability to confirm orders, the first criterion is to maintain the host's life, and begin to forcibly stop...... Forced stop failure, enable standby scheme, improve energy output, and speed up integration optimization......"
......
"Brother Geer, what's wrong with you? Wake up, brother!"
Gehr felt very light, floating in the endless darkness, not knowing the way or thinking about where he was going. Suddenly, there was a faint and distant call ahead, and Gehr felt familiar, and he instinctively walked forward.
The closer he got to the sound, the more conscious Gell became.
Suddenly he opened his eyes and sat up sharply, and Gehr saw the light of the candlestick that he was familiar with again...... and Sophia.
"You're okay, are you?" Sophia was wiping the sweat from her forehead with a towel as Alex climbed on Sophia's shoulders and peeked curiously at Gehr.
"I didn't ...... It's fine. What happened to me?" Gehr rubbed his aching temples and looked up out the windowβin the distance were vast expanses of black woods, the wind blowing the leaves rattling and the cries of insects.
It's still late at night, and I shouldn't have lost consciousness for long.
Gehr had a rough idea.
"Alex was screaming, and when I got up, I saw my brother lying on the table shaking and shaking, his face was also red, and he was sweating...... "Sophia explained to Gehr what she had just seen, and according to Sophia, Gehr's situation lasted about three minutes.
"Well, I was tired from reading the information just now, so I lay on my stomach for a while, and I happened to have a nightmare. β
Gehr stood up with his desk, feeling that his body was fine, but he was wet all over, and his stomach was visibly hungry. "Sophia, you ask the servant to prepare hot water for the bathroom, I need to take a shower, and then ask the kitchen to prepare something to eat for me. β
"That's good, brother. β
When Sophia came out of the room, Gehr turned on the body monitoring interface and checked his condition.
"Strength 1.43, Agility 1.71, Constitution 1.57, Spirit 2.16?
Gehr looked at his data in astonishment, and it suddenly improved a lot, and his spirit broke through the number 2 mark at once, but correspondingly, all the energy was zeroed, and all the efforts to absorb energy these days were in vain, but fortunately, the logical analysis module was not closed.
"Toggle the skill screen. β
The interface in front of him changed, and he changed back to the interface of the skill icon, and Gehr saw the icon with the question mark at first glance, and the original location of the Black Crow Bow Technique and Death Thorn Sword Technique icons was empty.
