"Dou Qi flows. Once it starts, don't think about stopping. Think of Dou Qi as a surging river. Your body and your limbs are dry and narrow rivers. Use your Dou Qi to ruthlessly open it up and widen it!"
On the training ground, the spirited Kunas loudly urged everyone to train.
"And the three of you, Carlo, who has been with me for six years, and haven't cultivated vindictiveness yet, do you want to be squire knights for the rest of your life!
You are only seventeen or eighteen years old now, you still have a chance to fight, do your best to train, and don't let yourself regret it later! "
Carlo, Bot, and Myron were scolded by Kunas in the face, blushing and struggling desperately. This is the only way to inspire vindictiveness.
Although Odin's body is thin and weak, he has inherited part of the Dou Qi bloodline because of his father's light, which makes it easier to produce Dou Qi. This is also the characteristic of high-level Dou Qi—blood inheritance.
Bloodline inheritance can make the offspring more friendly to fighting qi energy. Some lucky people don't even need to exercise deliberately. When they get old, they can directly generate fighting qi from the genetic bloodline. Such people are the favoured children of heaven.
Odin belongs to the unlucky kind. He also has a bloodline of fighting qi, but it is too thin. After training, he can barely stimulate his fighting qi before he reaches adulthood, becoming the lowest apprentice knight.
If he hadn't aroused his grudge before he was sixteen years old, he might have become a laughing stock in the upper circles of the entire Danube Principality.
His father would also doubt whether Odin was his own biological son. After all, the son of the Golden Knight was a waste, and everyone liked this kind of scandal and gossip.
Dou Qi and magic power are unique cultivation systems in this world. The basic Dou Qi training method can stimulate a Dou Qi seed in the human body. This seed can independently absorb the Dou Qi energy that is free from the body, grow and sublime.
The absorption of Dou Qi energy is limited by physical strength. The ancestors then developed a series of follow-up training methods. The purpose is to use Dou Qi to increase physical strength. The increase in physical strength will accommodate more Dou Qi, thus forming a virtuous circle.
Bloodhoof Earl's family are all aggressive fire attribute fighting qi. It is rumoured that the ancestor was a fire attribute earth knight, and he passed down a strong fire attribute fighting qi blood. His father and older brothers and sisters, including little Ogg, are all fire attributes. grudge.
But when it came to Odin, a rare ice-type fighting qi was born. He guessed that it was a mutation of his mother's water-type fighting qi.
Odin closed his eyes tightly, using his mind to control the ice-blue vindictive energy to slowly shuttle through his body, stimulating every muscle in his body as much as possible.
Consciously slow down the flow of vindictive energy. In addition to the superficial muscles, the deep muscles, skeletal muscles, muscle fascia, tendons, and ligaments are not spared.
For a former top medical student, this is just a basic operation. He has taken countless human anatomy classes, and every muscle, blood vessel, and bone of the human body is thoroughly familiar, but after graduation, he was suspended due to a medical accident. Qualified, had to do a sales job, and also got the chance of sudden death.
With the expansion of the range of physical stimulation, the consumption of fighting qi is faster than before.
Kunas, who was paying attention throughout the process, frowned slightly, thinking that Odin was lazy again, thinking that he might have practised too hard yesterday, so he acquiesced.
The next step was fighting skills training. The two kept breaking and feeding moves. Under careful training, Odin's fighting skills improved rapidly.
...
"Mr Kunas, let Teacher Luvid come to the castle in the afternoon. I have to ask him about the progress of the past two days."
"OK."
Kunas nodded and took the three squires back to the town. They had free accommodation in the government office, which was considered a benefit. He taught knighthood at the castle, and Luvid was busy in the town without touching the ground.
...
"No, no! This wall is to be painted white,
Give me a wash and re-brush! "
"Each column has to be painted with three coats of tung oil. I don't want the roof to collapse when I'm working."
"Throw away that cabinet, it's worm-eaten, and have Reagan make a new one."
Reagan Sawtooth is the only carpenter in town, and he's been building things for the Council for the past two days.
Wood is the only free resource here. It doesn't matter if you pick up an axe and chop it in the wild, but you need two brushes to make sturdy and durable furniture.
"Hey! Luvid."
"Oh, Kunas, I really envy you. After the knight class is over, I am free, and I have a lot of things to do."
Kunas spread his hands, "I'd rather be busy."
"Hehe, the knights are usually busy with nothing good, do you have something to do with me?"
"Lord Baron asked you to go to the castle in the afternoon, after the lunch break."
"Okay, Kunas, it seems that Lord Baron still cares about his town. I have to speed up the progress. My two idiot apprentices haven't come back yet, they are really stupid!"
Kunas took the words and left. In addition to taking the knight class with Odin every day, he also needed to exercise himself. As a 35-year-old silver knight, he was in his prime, and there was still the possibility of becoming a golden knight. did not give up.
Coming to an uninhabited field, Kunas slowly raised the cross sword, and the wind system in his body was surging, providing him with strong motivation.
The great sword was swung quickly, making a sharp whistle, and the flexible steps under his feet kept changing positions, slaying the imaginary enemies in front of him one by one.
The sword light danced faster and faster, almost flickering into a circle of light.
"Cross Slashing!"
With a loud shout, the blue foggy blade came out of the sword and disappeared into the woods without a sound.
After the second breath, a tall tree with a thick waist slowly fell down, the fracture was smooth and neat, and some short shrubs were not spared, their heads were shaved, and their leaves fell to the ground.
"The time to gain momentum is a little shorter. When you can cut out this move in an instant, you will reach the level of quasi-golden."
Kunas shook his head and continued to practice.
...
Since Odin's diligent exercise, the entire castle seems to be full of vitality, and the servants seem to be full of energy. Only a strong lord can better protect the castle. Servants and lords share weal and woe.
"Butler Modi, isn't there a shortage of supplies? Why does the Polish aunt still make such a sumptuous lunch?"
"I don't know, sir, some ingredients are purchased directly in the town, such as this roast chicken, which was picked by farmers in Poland who went to the town today, and wild ducks and hares, which were caught by hunters, very cheap, and the price only rocks. One-third of the city!
There is also this steamed fish, which Shuichetun catches a lot every day. This is a subsidiary output that belongs to your territory. The serfs are not eligible to enjoy it, so they are all sent.
And sir, you have to practice vindictiveness every morning, without enough food to supplement your body, you won't be able to eat it. "
Odin was nibbling on a chicken leg, the old butler explained.
"Is that so...sounds like Boulder...isn't that barren...then let Aunt Poland add a little animal to every meal."
"Good sir!"
After fighting qi stimulates the body, it needs a lot of nutritional supplements to achieve the effect of strengthening. This is also the reason why it is difficult for ordinary civilian families to cultivate knights. The knight academy alone has to pay a lot of money and eat and drink well every day. Every year Expensive.
The old butler waited in the dining room until Odin finished his lunch and let the servants pack up before leaving, leaving the master a quiet lunch break.
The castle has a total of three floors. The second floor is the dining room, study, and living room. The third floor is the bedroom, bathroom, and terrace. The first floor is the kitchen, warehouse, and servants' room.
Generally, the servants are active on the first floor and the front and rear courtyards. For example, after Odin finished his lunch, the servants would go back to the kitchen on the first floor to have lunch together. If there was no lord summoned, they would not be on the second floor. This is the rule.
After the lunch break, Luvid arrived in a hurry.
In the living room, Odin was already waiting on the sofa.
"Good afternoon, Lord, I hope Luvid is not late." Luvid bowed respectfully, but his mouth was very playful.
"Please sit down, my administrative officer, I think Kunas has already told you the reason for calling you here, let's talk about it."
Odin waved Luvid to sit down and motioned for the butler to pour him a cup of buckwheat tea.
"Everything is in progress according to your instructions. The government affairs hall is being renovated. It is expected to be completely completed in three days, and it will officially perform the functions of managing the town.
I also recruited two apprentices, and I am currently asking them to conduct the census. Because they are novice apprentices, I did not set a time limit for them to ensure accuracy, so the census has not been completed yet, please punish the lord! "
After speaking, Luvid solemnly bowed his head and knelt down on one knee.
"It doesn't have to be so, Administrative Officer Luvid, you are my teacher and my right-hand man. I believe in your ability, get up."
Odin saw his thoughts at a glance and spoke lightly.
"This time I didn't ask you to come here to punish you. Besides, you did the right thing. The census let the apprentices do it. The more detailed the better."
Luvid felt that his performance was a little too hard, so he retracted his posture awkwardly, went back to the sofa and did a good job, and continued to speak.
"Workers are paid twice as much as you ask until the arrears are made up.
In addition, experienced serfs in Shuichetun have been ordered to survey the water level along the upstream and downstream of the river, but the field is inconvenient, and it is difficult to survey the entire river, and it is impossible to estimate the approximate time. "
After speaking, Luvid also lost face, and only one of the four tasks that Odin gave him was completed.
"Well...it's okay, you've done a good job, UU reading www.uukanshu.com do it step by step, don't blindly rush time, there are still a lot of things you need to complete in the future, you can even fix a group of special towns Worker."
"Is there fixed manpower? Indeed, even a novice will accumulate experience and improve work efficiency through continuous work. How many people will be fixed?"
Luvid nodded.
"It's up to you to decide how many people you want to fix. In principle, try to recruit as many people as possible without affecting the planting of farmland this year. Don't let any idle people in the town move. Let me tell you, in this town, there are many things that can't be done. live!
After the renovation of the government affairs hall, there will be at least two waterwheels to be built. It is spring now, and a new round of farming will start soon. Sufficient water irrigation can open up more farmland, and there will be more harvests.
This is important! "
"But... it's not easy to find a suitable location to build a waterwheel. If a large number of people are dispatched, it will affect the normal operation of the waterwheel."
Luvid was amazed at the boldness of the lord but still raised his objection.
Odin smiled slightly, "Let the exploration people come back, don't waste time, if there will be casualties in the wild, the gains will outweigh the losses. I have a new way to find a suitable location..."
Looking at the confident baron lord sitting on the main seat, Luvid felt that he couldn't see through for the first time.
Hire idle civilians at double the salary to renovate the government office and establish the prestige of the lord; build a waterwheel, use the growing water source of Little Rock to reclaim more wasteland and increase food production.
These two practices have already made the commoners of Boulder Town talk about the new lord with relish.
Luvid has been dealing with the residents of these small towns all day, knowing that the lord in the castle has become a topic of conversation among the residents.
