Next morning
The bright sun shines on the castle.
The knight Kunas had been waiting at the gate early, but in this spring when everything was reviving, his heart was as cold as autumn.
The castle is his longing place. As a silver knight of the Knights of the Bloodhoof Earl, Kunas is proud. He imagines that one day he can become the owner of a castle with his own efforts.
Even if it's small.
But when he was full of great ambitions, fate made a joke. He was ordered by Count Odis to follow his third son, Odin Bloodhoof. Since then, his bright future was cut off, but he could not resist and could only accept it silently. The arrangement of fate.
It didn't take long for his three squire knights to arrive in a hurry. The squire knights are responsible for feeding the horses, maintaining the armour, and carrying the baggage for the formal knights. They are equivalent to the servants of the knights. A formal knight will have two or Four squire knights.
The squire knights are not for nothing, the knight master must ensure their food and drink and also carry out daily training, otherwise, when they enter the battlefield, they will be frightened and go to war.
In essence, Kunas, including his three squire knights, all belong to Odin's squire knights and serve Odin.
"Good morning, Mr Kunas!"
"Carlo, Bot, Myron, you are here, wait here, Lord Baron hasn't come out yet."
After a while, the refreshed Odin walked out of the castle, wearing a simple and elegant white training suit that showed off his slender figure. His handsome face and short red-gold hair naturally showed nobility. temperament.
"Good morning! Mr Kunas Hammer, and Carlo Wheat, Bot Weed, and Myron Stone."
The surnames of commoners are very simple. They can use whatever they think of, usually related to work or environment. For example, Carlo Wheat, as soon as you hear it, you know that your ancestors are farming, and it is already very promising to be a squire knight. Nas' ancestor is probably a blacksmith, which is a good surname.
The Bloodhoof surname of the Odin family is a noble surname personally conferred by His Majesty the Monarch of the Danube Principality. It is unique and extremely noble.
A group of five people came to the training ground behind the castle, saying that the training ground was actually just two wooden stakes planted in an open space, but it was enough for them to use.
"Lord Baron, we will officially start knight training."
"it is good!"
Odin nodded heavily and began to run the fighting qi according to the Kunas knight's request. First, the fighting qi in the body was gathered into a ball in the chest and flowed through the arms and limbs in turn while maintaining it.
Dou Qi cultivation lies in two points. One is to actively stimulate the body with Dou Qi. Under the stimulation of Dou Qi, the human body will increase its strength and the body will be able to withstand more Dou Qi.
The second is that the muscles of the human body will absorb Dou Qi when they are stimulated, increasing the upper limit of Dou Qi, which is a secondary strengthening and can also release Dou Qi when needed.
Absorbing Dou Qi, putting down Dou Qi, and learning to use Dou Qi is the process of a knight becoming stronger.
"Concentrate and let more fighting qi concentrate on the chest, first from the shoulders to the left arm, from the left chest through the right chest and into the right arm... Finally, withdraw from the left leg to the chest to complete the entire fighting qi cycle."
This basic fighting qi training method is the entry method for all knights, and it is also the basis for advanced and higher levels. Even dragon knights have to practice this at the beginning.
Dou Qi turned his body, and the muscles of his limbs began to congeal, swell, and strengthen under the stimulation of Dou Qi. After two laps, Odin was full of heat, and sweat dripped from his forehead.
"Hold on! The more laps you run, the more you will strengthen your body. The stronger your body is, the more fighting spirit you can squeeze out when you fight! Don't give up easily!"
Although Kunas did not like Baron Odin, he was serious about teaching, and constantly encouraged Odin to persevere.
This is also the only thing you can do in the Dou Qi class, you can only stick to your own will.
Odin endured the intense soreness in his limbs and desperately maintained his vindictiveness. Until the fifth lap, the mass of vindictiveness had been thinned to almost nothing, but he still persisted.
It didn't stop until the sixth lap, the fighting qi was completely consumed by the body, and there was nothing left.
"A big improvement, three full laps more than last time." Kunas gave a rare smile, "Don't sit down in a hurry, it will be better to walk around the open space."
Odin jogged despite the pain in his limbs, trying to adjust his breathing to speed up his pace, and the pace kept increasing until he ran at a steady and uniform speed.
"This..."
Kunas was a little surprised.
Today, Lord Baron's performance exceeded his expectations. He has been teaching knighthood since Odin was six years old. He is well aware of Odin's training intensity.
And actively increase the training intensity, turning walking into running, which has never happened before.
Kunas suppressed the surprise in his heart and quickly went up side by side.
"Very good, keep the speed, feel the limit of your body, and push it hard!"
Odin accepted Kunas's separate instruction here, and the other three squire knights were working hard on the side. They had not yet developed their fighting spirit, so they could only do some simple strength training to stimulate their fighting spirit.
After an hour, the training came to an end. Maid Liz brought a few cups of hot milk and some slices of bread to replenish everyone's strength, as well as a piece of roasted medium-rare lamb chops, which was prepared for the baron alone.
Sufficient meat and milk supplements can restore physical strength and strengthen the body faster. Although the medium-rare lamb chops are a little unaccustomed to eating, he still swallows hard.
"Master, the rest time is over, and the next step is to have a knight skills course."
"Oh, what is it, the Great Cross!"
"It's a one-handed sword, and the cross sword can't be practised until the silver stage."
"Is that so, let's get started."
Carlo Maisui handed over two one-handed swords. The swords were straight. One edge of the sword was sharpened, and the other was not. There was only a slight curvature at the tip of the sword. It can block and has comprehensive functions. It is one of the mainstream weapons of knights.
In addition, the cross sword is two-handed. It is long and heavy. The blade is edged on both sides. The ridge is thick. The closer it is to the tip of the sword, the wider the sword is. sword.
The centre of gravity of the great sword rests on the tip of the sword, and the slashing and slashing are particularly powerful and aggressive, and cannot be used by non-silver knights or above, and Kunas is a good hand with the cross sword.
Professor Kunas's sword skills are only the basic sword skills taught by the Knights Academy. There are three actions: slashing, stabbing and blocking. At this time, the role of Kunas teacher is reflected, and he cooperates with Odin to feed.
Odin attack, Kunas defence, Kunas attack, Odin defence.
Of course, Kunas only used a slightly higher level than Odin, and the two of them continued to switch offence and defence until Odin was exhausted.
...
After the lunch break, Odin proposed to inspect the territory, but Kunas did not agree.
"Lord Baron, do you really want to patrol the town of Boulder? In the wild areas around the territory, there are likely to be monsters."
"Don't be nervous Kunas, I don't want to go very far, just take a look around the town and Little Stony Brook. After all, I've been here for a while and haven't met my lords yet. This is not what a qualified lord would do. ."
Kunas couldn't refute it. It was the right of the lord to inspect the territory and the people.
The fat squires brought in horses. The two tall steeds belonged to Kunas and Odin, and the other three ponies belonged to the squire knights. They were all brought from Bloodhoof Castle, and they were completely incomparable to his older brothers and sisters.
His elder brother Oranke was even given a dragon-scaled horse with rare terrain dragon blood, which was worth thousands of gold; Ovia also had an extraordinary sweat-blooded horse, which was the most common horse breed.
Leaving the hill of the castle, the group walked towards the town under the leadership of Kunas.
There are only 360 residents in Boulder Town. Although this is the data from five years ago, in such a barren place, the population will not fluctuate too much.
Entering the town, wooden houses began to appear in sight, scattered, and there were fenced yards in front of and behind the wooden houses, and some vegetables were planted.
The closer you go, the denser the houses and the grass on the ground is trampled out of the colour of the soil, forming a simple road.
"Fortunately, the weather has been good these few days. If it rains, this road will be difficult to walk."
Kunas controlled the sound of the four hooves of the horse, showing his skilled horsemanship.
Although the ground is dry, the faeces on the roadside are more obvious. In the original owner's memory, there is no concept of toilets here. On the side of the road, it is normal for faeces to appear on the road.
Odin sighed in his heart, even the simplest way to increase soil fertility has not been developed, which shows how low the level of productivity is.
Entering the town, Kunas, who led the way, naturally fell behind Baron Odin. The commoners on the road also stopped and bowed their heads in salute. The serfs, who were inferior to commoners, knelt down and bowed. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
When the lord goes on patrol, the lords bow their heads, this is the rule, but most of the people living in the town are civilians, and the serfs mainly work in the three villages.
Odin's trip was not to find a sense of existence but to verify the bird's-eye view he saw in the dream in the study last night. It's just that the impact of the dream last night was too great. He remembered the picture that could be enlarged continuously.
The direction of the town's streets and the scattered houses basically match the map. At present, the largest building in the town is a church, which is only three houses in size. It is the only stone house in Jushi Town.
Looking at the mottled walls of the church, Odin didn't go in to disturb it, and it didn't take long for him to travel. It wasn't even when he was in contact with the priest.
Go straight through the town, into the wild, and head up Stony Creek.
After leaving the town, Kunas rode his horse to the front of the team again, and the three squire knights lined up at the end, vaguely surrounding Odin in the middle of the team.
Close to the small rocky stream, Odin once again sighed at the beautiful scenery of nature, the crystal clear stream, the fish and shrimps visible to the naked eye swimming under the water, and the large and small pebbles covering the river bottom, it is not difficult to imagine how many are hidden under these stones fish and shrimp.
Odin couldn't help dismounting and wanted to get in touch with the stream at close range. Before he reached the river, a water arrow was shot from the bottom of the water. Before he could react, he was smashed by the sword of Kunas beside him.
Kunas explained the force coming from the blade.
"It's an ordinary saliva fish. It can shoot a stream of water from its gills through its mouth. The water arrow does not contain magic power and does not enter the stream. It is between a first-order monster and a beast. If it can find a cave full of magic power, Maybe it will advance to a first-order swordfish."
