For Ivan, if there are any friends in this world, Donnie is probably the only one.
He looked in the direction the voice came from, and it was indeed the Donnie he knew.
But Donny looked a little embarrassed.
After looking at that place for a few seconds, Ivan turned around quickly and hid behind a large wooden barrel next to him, and continued to stare at that place through the gap between the barrel and the wall.
"Haha, you use your clothes to rub the boots, that's useful, I'll give you a tip."
"Okay, Lauren, you can use it. If you complain, I lose."
The other party was a young nobleman who was two or three years younger than Donny. Faced with the gold coins that he gave like alms, Donny took them without hesitation with a smile on his face.
At this time, another young nobleman said, "My red-horned deerskin boots are also dirty. Donnie, come here and wipe them clean." He was holding a gold coin in his hand and waving it proudly a few times.
Donnie ran over happily.
This scene gave the accompanying guards and passers-by a complicated feeling.
"It's good to make money, not bad."
It seems that Donny is really short of money recently, Ivan muttered in confusion.
He didn't intend to go over and disturb them, so he walked straight to the alley not far behind him and prepared to pass through it.
Donny is a very face-conscious person. If he knew that he had seen this scene, we probably wouldn't even be friends anymore.
Ivan took a detour and returned to the main street a few minutes later, returning home smoothly.
After a while, Ivan went to another market and bought a small amount of medicinal materials from a shop, including red rock powder, loess rock foam and scorpion tail glue oil, all of which were used to make the azure potion.
This is Biman's strategy, to buy the herbs separately.
In fact, Ivan is not afraid of others reverse-deducing the prescription based on the types of medicinal materials. Only those who have made medicine know the difficulty involved. Slight differences in the amount of medicinal materials, processing methods, and sequence can lead to huge differences in the results.
He researched the recipe for the azure potion on his own, but now the success rate is only 20%.
[Pharmacy: lv2 (190/200)]
[Knight's Breathing: lv1 (39/100)]
[Linguistics: lv1 (12/100)]
In recent times, the experience points of various subjects have increased to varying degrees.
In alchemy, almost every time a blue potion is refined, one experience point can be added. It will increase steadily, and upgrading to level 3 is just around the corner. By then, with the review of the light of wisdom, the success rate of his blue potion will definitely increase.
As his strength improved, the blood and energy in his body increased, his breathing method also improved a lot, and his experience points increased by more than 20 points.
He suspected that the level of the Flowing Breathing Technique was too low, otherwise it would definitely have increased by this much.
In terms of linguistics, he did not study any language in depth, and his experience points increased step by step as he had little time and experience.
...
Two days later.
Ivan came to Kasha Fencing Hall.
He arrived rather late, as the martial arts arena was crowded with people at that time.
Donnie noticed him approaching, his eyes lit up, and he thought of coming over to say hello and talk about other things.
Someone also spotted Ivan and blocked his way ahead.
"Brother Ivan, I apologize for my contempt for you last time."
Ever since losing to Ivan in public last time, Hengzhi had lost all his face. He tried to get it back, but Ivan never showed up, making his life very painful.
Today, we finally caught someone.
Ivan knew what he was thinking, and said calmly: "It doesn't matter, I won anyway."
Hearing his words, Hengzhi almost choked, "Can you speak?"
Hengzhi took a deep breath and continued, "In order to show my respect to you, Junior Brother, I think it is necessary to compete with you again. This time I will not look down on you. We will fight fair and square."
Not far away, Donnie kept shaking his head behind Hengzhi, signaling Ivan not to agree.
Ivan responded: "No need, we are not familiar with each other, I don't need your respect."
Seeing that he was so disrespectful, Hengzhi suddenly felt a little annoyed: "Junior Brother Yiwen, it seems that you have not learned how to respect your senior brothers. As a senior brother, I have to teach you what it means to respect strength and what it means to respect the order of the inferiors."
"We must have a duel?"
"I have to let you know that the weak should learn to be humble."
Hengzhi is aggressive, and Ivan has his own temper. There are some things that cannot be avoided or tolerated.
Ivan glanced at Donnie and continued, "In the past, you took a lot of silver coins from Donnie, about three or four gold coins in total."
"How do you want to stay?"
"I win, you give the money back to Donnie."
Hengzhi was even more annoyed when his shame was exposed in front of him. He gritted his teeth and agreed: "I will admit defeat if you win." He changed his previous thoughts and would definitely not care about his senior brother's demeanor anymore and teach him a profound lesson.
As for paying back the money, that only works if the other party wins. If they lose, it's impossible.
People like to watch the fun, it's human nature.
In the martial arts arena, other brothers stood in groups of three or four outside, forming a circle. As for Ivan, no one really thought he could win, but Hengzhi was always unpopular, so he was happy to have someone challenge him.
At the entrance of the inner hall, Instructor Quincy and Senior Sister Mei Li appeared after hearing the noise.
"Ms. Meili, what do you think?"
"This Hengzhi only knows how to make trouble. He likes to bully other junior brothers by relying on his strength."
The two of them knew that although Hengzhi was not a good person, he was still quite strong. To defeat him, one would need the strength of a quasi-knight, which this student obviously did not have.
Under the gaze of everyone, the two contestants stood facing each other with swords in hand, secretly accumulating strength.
"drink."
The two men drew their swords at the same time, and the swords cut towards their opponents like a torrent.
The two sharp swords collided, their sharpness was equal.
After another pair of moves, the two were still evenly matched. The onlookers noticed a clue and it seemed that the strength of this unknown junior brother was not inferior to that of his senior brother, which was different from their expectations.
"good."
"Fuck him."
After a few rounds, the atmosphere on the field became more and more intense. Some people couldn't help but shout for encouragement, while others saw that Hengzhi was at a disadvantage and cheered for Ivan from behind.
On the court, Ivan's moves became more and more sophisticated, and he gradually suppressed his opponent's attack.
In a flash, Ivan's Quillen sword swept away the opponent's iron sword, and the next second it quickly swept towards the opponent, stopping in front of Hengzhi, only half a foot away from his neck.
At this moment, the entire training ground fell into a strange silence.
After a pause, Hengzhi murmured, "I lost."
Only then did Ivan withdraw his hand and sheath the sword of Quillen.
Various discussions were heard all around, and the place became noisy again. Hengzhi looked at Ivan deeply. This time he did not underestimate the enemy and did not use any insidious tricks. He lost only because he was not as strong as the other person. Just like he said, if you are weak, you must remain humble.
"Brother."
He bowed to Ivan and turned to walk towards Donnie.
While Donny was feeling uneasy, he stuffed his wallet into Donny's hands.
At this time, not many people paid attention to him. More eyes fell on Ivan, with different expressions, some were confused, some were unbelievable, some were envious, and some were admiring.
[Knight's Breathing Skills Experience Points +6]
[Knight's Breathing Skills: Level 1 (45/100)]
A puzzled look flashed across Ivan's eyes. How did the Breathing Skills Experience Points increase?
"Brother Ivan, come with me. I have something to discuss with you."
A heroic and pretty figure came up to his side and motioned for him to talk to her side. It was Mei Li, the senior sister of Kasha Fencing Hall.
The two of them walked towards the inner hall one after the other, leaving behind a suggestive back view.
Some people even thought that these two people were a perfect match, one handsome and the other intelligent.
