At night, at the Marichatton family's house, the family gathered together for a rare meal.
'Respiratory experience +6? ? ? '
Ivan remembered one thing. After he defeated Hengzhi in the morning, a strange prompt appeared on the light film.
Looking at the message on the light film, he had a vague understanding.
It should be considered as reputation in the subject, or academic reputation. He defeated Hengzhi who was ranked ahead of him, and other students thought that he had great attainments in breathing methods, which earned him some reputation in the subject of breathing.
'You sold medicine before?'
"I didn't sell them under my own name, so I can't become famous. That's why."
Various thoughts flowed through his mind. He also thought of the large amount of experience points he gained when inventing the 'Azure Potion'. He had a further understanding of the ability of the light film. The key to everything was still 'discipline'. If he wanted to gain experience points, he had to be related to the discipline.
Then, teaching students to disseminate subject knowledge should also be able to gain prestige.
"With academic disciplines at the center, I'm worthy of the name of the academic master panel, rigorous and professional."
Ivan sighed to himself, based on this point, academic fraud and fabricated reputation are definitely useless, what is needed is real things, based on sufficient strength in the subject, so that others can be convinced and recognize.
At this moment, he thought of many plans and intentions, and he would definitely find an opportunity to try them out in the future.
"Ivan."
"Ivan."
The second brother Biman called out twice to bring Ivan back to his senses.
"What are you thinking about?"
"Think through a problem."
Biman didn't ask any more questions, and repeated what he had asked before: "Do you want to participate in this mission? It's a good opportunity to gain some experience and gain practical combat experience."
He knew Ivan's strength and also knew that his brother lacked experience. Some things were difficult to learn just by verbal instruction, so he invited his brother to carry out mercenary missions together.
Ivan subconsciously looked at his father Red, only to find that there was no one opposite him. The others had finished eating, leaving only the two brothers in the room.
"If you agree, I'll talk to Dad."
"OK."
Hearing him say that, Ivan felt that it was indeed possible to go.
Now, he has reached the level of a quasi-knight. He has used three bottles of Azure Potion, and the fourth bottle may not be effective. It is undoubtedly not a simple matter to improve his strength. He does not need to think about making money. He has mastered Tidal Language to a certain extent, and the only language left in linguistics is Ferendo.
Ferendo has a niche use, so there is no need to rush to learn it.
After being in the other world for so long, he finally had some free time and was just in time to see the world outside Flying Fish Harbor.
The next day, the thick fog had not dissipated.
Ivan arrived at the Bat's Eye Clinic early.
After a while, Jiushiti arrived swaying in the air.
"Hey, here you come."
"Hehe."
It was rare for Ivan to take the initiative to say hello.
Both of them achieved their goals and became true disciples of old Orr. The competition between them dissipated and their relationship eased.
After a few seconds of pause, Jiushiti said, "Don't be too proud. Be careful that I will surpass you."
This was not the first time she emphasized that this girl had a strong desire to win.
Ivan was speechless and nodded: "I'll wait."
After a while, a thin figure walked out from the end of the street. The man's steps were always a little unbalanced. He emerged from the mist, and the fire birthmark on his face looked a little fierce.
"Mr. Orr."
Old Orr didn't care much about the greetings and salutes from the two men.
The clinic opened for business. Ivan said he wanted to take a leave, but old Orr didn't care and just waved to him.
Afterwards, Ivan left the clinic and went to Panya Street, rushing to the headquarters of the Giant Shield Mercenaries.
"Set off."
He arrived just in time to set off, and Reed announced the departure.
There were ten people in this group, four of them were from the Marichatton family, the father and his son, and a deputy leader, Gro. The others were ordinary mercenaries.
Each man and each horse had a shield hanging from their horses. It wasn't because of the name of the mercenary group, but because the enemies they were going to deal with this time were a bit special and they couldn't do without a shield.
Through Biman's introduction, he learned that the deputy leader Gro was actually a quasi-knight with superb archery skills. He had made great contributions to the mercenary group many times and was respected by many mercenaries.
The Giant Shield Mercenaries also have a deputy leader named Dane, who is a junior knight and has another mission.
Ivan's appearance attracted a lot of attention. As a member of the Giant Shield Mercenary Group, many people had heard of his reputation. The third boy from the leader's family had always been naughty and had no strength, but he would go with them to complete the mission. I wondered if he was here to have fun.
Paul frequently looked at his younger brother. If Biman hadn't told him, he wouldn't have known that his younger brother had done so many things in secret. His strength was almost catching up with his own, and his achievements in alchemy made him ashamed.
"What is the mission reward?"
"Marriage."
There is a rule in Flying Fish Port that, except for the carriages of the nobles, no other vehicles, including horses, are allowed to gallop without special circumstances. At this time, the group was riding on horses and moving slowly.
Ivan rolled his eyes at Beeman's answer.
He didn't believe it. Although Liede cared about his family's past glory, he would not ignore the opinions of other members of the mercenary group and would not act on his own, otherwise he would have accepted the mission long ago.
Biman added: "A shield. You will see it soon."
In fact, he didn't know much. The reward was indeed a heavy shield from Baron Church's collection, but he didn't know what it was specifically like. He never paid much attention to the tedious matters of the mercenary group.
After leaving the gate of Feiyugang City, the group sped up their horses and headed towards the Black Pine Forest Territory.
They stopped twice on the way, and by mid-afternoon they were only two or three miles away from the Black Pine Forest Territory. Liede ordered them to rest for a while and recharge their batteries before heading to their destination.
On the wild grass, Ivan sat next to Biman to rest.
Beeman chuckled and said, "Disappointed, huh?"
"Somewhat."
Ivan nodded.
After leaving Flying Fish Harbor, there were only a few other groups of pedestrians along the way, but no inhabited villages, nor any road bullies or bandits, which was different from what he had expected.
Biman said: "Because we are on a wide trade route and we don't have any goods, we are crowded and look hard to deal with. No one will bother us. We have to be extra careful when traveling alone in the future."
He also explained that most of the civilian villages outside the city were built around noble castles, towns, and cities, and belonged to the nobles. The refugees who were not the nobles could not create value for the lords, and they were afraid of being discovered, so they would not build villages near busy trade routes.
The group continued to move forward and soon arrived at the Black Pine Castle in the Black Pine Forest Territory.
"Haha, welcome the Knights of Red and the Giant Shield Mercenaries to my castle."
Baron Church was a middle-aged man with a plump figure. He greeted the group of people coming from afar at the castle gate. Unlike what Beeman had said before, he seemed particularly enthusiastic, without any arrogance, and his hearty laughter infected everyone.
Miss Church was there too. When she saw Ivan's eyes light up, she said, "Nice to meet you again, Mr. Ivan, and Mr. Paul and Mr. Beeman."
"Yes, dear Miss Lisa."
Biman responded with a remark and raised his eyebrows towards his brother implicitly, his brows unable to hide his inexplicable smile.
Ivan followed suit and greeted her. Then he noticed that there was something wrong with the way Miss Church looked at him. Her attitude was more friendly than towards her two brothers. He couldn't help but observe Paul's expression. The eldest brother's expression didn't change much.
He was totally confused, as he had only met Miss Church twice and they had barely spoken to each other.
Did something happen that I didn't know about? What happened to one or two of them?
