For Ivan, the meeting with Jusiti was just a small episode.
From his observation, Jiushiti's last declaration was probably just a statement made in anger and did not count.
However, he was still wary of this competitor because in the Principality of Xiangmai, children matured earlier, and boys and girls could get married when they were 14 years old. Those younger could only sign a marriage certificate and become fiancé and fiancée.
Jiushi is about the same age as him and well-nourished, so it's not too early to talk about marriage now.
"What are you looking at?"
It was another afternoon in the clinic. Noticing his gaze, Jiushi glared at him and lowered her voice to an exceptionally low level.
Ivan glanced at Old Orr and did not answer.
Old Orr could hear the sound clearly through the airtight room and thick walls, which showed that he was not as weak as he looked. Come to think of it, a pharmacist occasionally needs to go to dangerous places in the mountains to collect herbs, so how could he not have strength?
I don't know if Old Or is a quasi-knight or has the strength of a knight.
Ivan also thought that the clinic might have prescriptions that could help with cultivation. This thought made him even more enthusiastic about staying in the clinic.
After practicing the breathing method for these days, he has understood the difficulties in the practice.
Firstly, the efficiency of basic breathing methods is relatively low. Even if he spends more time and energy on it every day, the gains will still be less than those who practice elementary breathing methods.
Secondly, human digestion capacity is limited, and meat needs to be digested before it can be converted into nutrients, which also affects efficiency.
Naturally, he didn't want to endure this situation: with the same amount of time and more effort, his progress was smaller than others.
"The swordplay hall has a universal secret medicine, but one portion costs 5 gold coins. It's more like eating gold coins than taking a secret medicine. I don't have any money. "
'According to Old Mickey, my father will be back soon. I hope he can give us some support.'
Ivan was a little nervous about his father who was about to return home, as he had never actually met him. But he was more looking forward to it, as he was, after all, a mid- to high-level knight, and was more than capable of guiding him.
…
On this day, the Giant Shield Mercenaries completed their mission and returned to Flying Fish Harbor.
When Ivan returned home from the clinic, he saw his father and two brothers.
"Haha, I'm back, Ivan."
This was the second brother, Biman. He went forward to hug him and patted him hard on the back several times, trying to express his brotherly love.
The eldest brother Paul also hugged him, and after letting go, he looked at him with satisfaction: "I heard from Padge that you are learning from old Al. I am glad to see your changes and efforts, my brother."
Compared with Beeman, the eldest brother Paul always speaks and behaves in a serious manner.
The two are twin brothers and their faces are 80% to 90% similar, but Beeman likes to keep his hair half long while Paul likes to grow a beard, so they look quite different.
The three brothers stood together, with strong bodies, brown hair and black eyes, and handsome looks. They were all handsome young men in and around Feiyu Harbor.
Compared with his two older brothers, Ivan is a head shorter and thinner.
"I'm glad you're back safely."
After he said that, he looked at his father, but Liede called the five brothers and sisters to go to the large yard behind the house.
As a family that has run a mercenary group for two generations, the Marichatons' residence is naturally not bad. It ranks among the top ten in the eastern part of the city. It is a green-walled villa with front and back yards. There are many flowers and green plants planted in the front yard, while the large yard in the back is relatively empty. There are walls around the front and back yards, but only half of the front yard is walled, while the back yard is more hidden.
In the backyard, Led personally came out and asked Ivan to fight with him.
Biman shouted from the side: "Ivan, don't worry, attack however you want, you can't hurt a mid-level knight." He threw his sword into the field casually.
Ivan took it subconsciously, and seeing that Red didn't say anything, he drew his sword and attacked forward.
Liede took a half step back lightly, and the sword fell into the air.
"bite."
Half of Lied's palm turned black, and he pushed the sword aside with a flick of his fingers.
Ivan knew in his heart that the black energy wrapped around his palm was fighting spirit, which was transformed from blood after being promoted to a knight and could cover the surface of the body.
He was not discouraged. He immediately turned the sword, made a sword flower, and controlled the sword tip to chop towards Liede's thigh.
"Ding-ding-ding."
The sword rang out, and the tip of the sword was blocked by fingers again, unable to move forward half an inch. Ivan changed the sword style again, trying various ways to chop, cut or slice him, making the crisp sounds continue.
On the side, Paul and Beeman looked at each other and saw the satisfaction in each other's eyes.
Biman muttered, "Not bad, not bad. Although Ivan's swordsmanship lacks experience in fighting, it is not rigid at all. It is only slightly worse than mine at the beginning."
Paul rolled his eyes at him and didn't bother to answer.
At this time, Red called out: "Ivan, punch me with all your strength."
Ivan did not doubt him and immediately threw his sword to the ground, took a big step forward and swung forward with all his strength, but Liede caught it steadily with his palm.
Liede signaled to stop.
"Okay, your strength is now about 180 pounds."
Beaman interjected, "It's equivalent to 1.2 scales of strength."
Ivan was completely confused as to what kind of math problem this was.
Beeman laughed and said, "Haha, this is an algorithm passed down by a mysterious wizard, most people don't know it."
Ivan asked curiously, "Tell me about it."
Ignoring Beeman's glare, Paul gave the answer first: "Your sword gym has a force-measuring iron stone, right? That 150 kilograms is equivalent to the strength of an untrained adult. Wizards call it 1-degree strength. Do you understand?"
In other words, 0.1 scale is equal to 15 kilograms, and 180 kilograms of strength is 1.2 scale.
Ivan suddenly realized something, and he couldn't help but ask again: "Is there a mysterious wizard nearby?"
The two brothers shook their heads in agreement.
Biman said with a smile: "Who wouldn't want to become a mysterious wizard? We thought about it before, but the wizard has left our area and disappeared over the sea. I don't know where he went--"
He didn't go into details so as not to dampen his brother's enthusiasm. There are some things that only nobles can access.
In people's perception, the deep ocean is the most dangerous place. The farther away from the coast, the more dangerous it is. Even a small port like Flying Fish Port is often attacked by beasts in the ocean. Sometimes one can only avoid them and wait for the beasts to leave.
"Okay, time to go eat."
Today's dinner is particularly sumptuous and the atmosphere among the family is harmonious.
With his father and brother around, Sean, the active guy, became particularly well-behaved. After all, he had tried the mixed three-hit combo before and had nowhere to escape.
Red was quite satisfied with Iven's performance. He was a silent father and didn't say any words of praise from beginning to end.
night.
Hearing a knock on the door, Ivan opened it and saw his second brother Biman.
Beeman looked at the book in his hand and said slightly exaggeratedly: "You are really reading a book. It's hard to imagine."
Ivan was used to this kind of reaction: "Just take a look." He motioned for his brother to come into the house.
Biman entered the room, looked around, hugged his shoulders and asked in a low voice: "I heard that you were injured. You were bullied, right? Tell me, let me see who dares to bully my brother."
Hearing this, Ivan felt warm in his heart.
He didn't tell the truth: "I was just stung by poisonous insects while exploring, but I've already recovered at Old Orr's."
Before, the reason why he was friends with Roseside and Benson was because their families all lived in the east of the city, not far away, and their families had business ties, so it was inconvenient for Beaman to show up.
Seeing him say this, Biman didn't ask any more questions: "This is the pocket money your brother gave you." He handed over two gold coins and stuffed them into his pocket without saying anything before leaving.
"This - can't be a compensation for the breathing method."
Ivan was stunned. As far as he could remember, his second brother Biman had never given him such a large amount of pocket money.
"1.2 scale force, it would be better if there was a data panel."
If he couldn't figure it out, he just thought about it. He focused his attention on his field of vision, and the academic master's panel appeared again.
[Pharmacy: lv1(1/100)]
[Knight's Breathing: lv0(5/10)]
[Linguistics: lv0(1/10)]
In the past two days, the Knight's Breathing Technique has increased 1 experience point, and there are no other changes.
Perhaps in response to his thoughts, the light film in his field of vision began to flicker, and the soft, changing light obscured the data on it. Just like when it was first opened, it again distracted some of his thinking ability.
