Chapter 240: Vision
Crown's eyebrows slightly raised. Melissa's advancement was beyond his expectations.
The power of the Golden Light Mantra increased day by day, and his spiritual perception also became much stronger.
Now he can feel the strength of the life magnetic field of living things and use it to roughly judge the strength of others. This ability was only discovered by him in recent days.
A golden halo circulated in his eyes, and the world changed color in his eyes. He called this derived ability "clairvoyance".
Those inanimate objects are reduced to a monotonous gray, while living things appear in a riot of colors.
William's body was shining with a white aura, soft and bright, and his lungs were a light orange-red.
The bodies of ordinary people appear pale white under clairvoyance, and if the person is not healthy enough, a little bit of gray may appear.
Del's body surface is mainly covered with light green light, and the abdomen and chest area show an orange-red color that is much deeper than that of ordinary people, and a little bit of orange-red light extends outside the body.
There were large patches of dark green aura on Melissa's body, and the aura around her internal organs was orange-yellow.
Judging from Crown's limited experience, green means good health and vitality, representing that this person's life field has reached the level of a transcendent, while orange-red most likely represents the ability to cast spells with the fire element.
The color of his body is lush and verdant, like the green reflected by the forest river after rain. His chest and abdomen are large areas of orange and faintly shining with silver light.
Outside the body, there is a mixture of bright silver and bronze light, with a heavy metallic texture and the illusion of time flowing quietly.
"Yes, I made such a promise."
Crown raised his voice slightly, and his originally gentle voice became majestic and solemn: "What are you prepared to pay?"
But Bai Nupiao can't do that. Investing is not about doing good deeds. The purpose of investing is to get a good return. He believes that the other party knows what he means.
Melissa knelt on one knee, lowered her head and bowed forward.
Her left hand was placed horizontally on her knees, and her right hand was spread out on the ground with five fingers:
“I am willing to be the sharp sword in your hand and the pioneer in expanding the territory.
I will face strong enemies bravely and I will be loyal to my friends."
This is an oath of a knight swearing allegiance to his lord. Under the impact of the Industrial Revolution in recent years, the glory of the nobles is no longer as glorious as before, but Melissa, who comes from a traditional aristocratic family, is determined to restore her family's former glory.
With her head lowered, her eyes were filled with the flames of ambition.
During this period, she did not deliberately inquire about anything, but from the housekeeper's few words combined with the bishop's current status, she understood that as long as she could cling to the thigh of the person in front of her, she would be half successful.
As a bishop in charge of a diocese at this point in time, she understands the heavy weight and honor of this identity, which means the church's high regard for her and her own great strength.
There was a hint of amusement in Crown's eyes. The other party's oath of allegiance using ancient rituals was very meaningful.
According to normal etiquette, if he accepted the other party's allegiance, he would touch the other party's neck and shoulders with the back of his sword.
But this time is different from the past. When he was training Del, he really had no one else available. Now he is qualified to make a careful selection.
“Get up, I will offer you better treatment now, and I will accept your allegiance only after you prove your ability.
You are responsible for recruiting fifty ordinary soldiers and training them. If more than thirty of them can advance to become extraordinary people after one year, you will be considered qualified.
Make a good training plan, and I will provide sufficient supplies of necessary materials."
His current foundation is in the church, but he has no personal armed forces, and there are some things that cannot be entirely dependent on the church.
I will soon own property, and I can't mobilize troops from the church every day to protect my private property, right? !
With his current financial resources, it is more than enough to cover the expenses of dozens of low-level transcendents.
He has never been exposed to the dark side of human struggle in this world, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
After he expanded his business, he would always have to deal with all kinds of people, including various cultists, all of which required strong military protection. No matter how strong he was, he would not be able to cope with all of them.
Melissa was not discouraged when she heard his words. Instead, she was overjoyed and readily agreed: "You will be able to see the results of my efforts. I will definitely not let you down."
Strictly speaking, they had not established much trust, so the refusal was reasonable, and there was still room for maneuver in the bishop's words.
Training soldiers was not difficult for her as she had received strict education as a knight. With the current spiritual level of the world, combined with excellent training methods and sufficient nutritional intake, it was not difficult to train ordinary people with excellent physical fitness into knights.
Of course, there are difficulties, and they are quite big, but the greater the difficulties, the more her abilities can be demonstrated.
She decided to carefully select candidates and conduct rigorous training in order to complete the task ahead of schedule.
The stronger your ability, the more you will be valued.
Clown nodded slightly and raised his hands: "Stand up and talk. What breathing method are you practicing?"
By asking his subordinates about their breathing method, he can offer them the treatment they need most.
"I practice the breathing method passed down in my family, which is similar to the more popular Silver Fox Breathing Method."
Knights with agile breathing techniques are not suitable for large-scale group combat battlefields. Being surrounded by people will limit their ability to play to their strengths. They are suitable for small-scale contact combat.
Klauen leaned back, frowned slightly and asked, "Then how do you get the auxiliary potion for practicing breathing techniques?"
Even for him, without auxiliary potions, his proficiency level did not increase quickly.
"I can prepare the potion myself. Thank you for your concern."
"That's good."
At this time, William said:
"If Melissa trains soldiers for you, then the position of housekeeper will be vacant. Someone will be needed to take over her job and arrange the affairs of the maids."
"You make the arrangements," said Crown.
The housekeeper is in charge of the housework. There is not much housework in the mansion now, and he also believes that William can promote the right person.
After discussing the matter, the others got up and left, and Crown began to study alchemy, with his main research direction being explosives.
After all, he received chemistry education in his previous life. Compared with the natives here, his thoughts will have more inspiration from another world.
That night, he carefully read the basic part of the book provided by Fekart and found that he had already got a basic understanding of alchemy and had increased his proficiency significantly.
[Alchemy: 398/3000; Level 1]
After acquiring the skill, he did not rush to do experiments to improve his proficiency. Improving this skill was a necessary but not urgent task.
He returned to his bedroom, called his two pets, and chanted the Golden Light Mantra.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
An hour later, he ended his visualization and began to refine the moonlight.
He has not delayed a single day in the refining work over the past few months. Now the amount of Sunfire Liquid and Moon Dew is running low. After refining them a few more times, he can stop this time-consuming work.
The essence of the sun and the moon can also be transformed back into its original materials, and this transformation can be completed in just a few seconds.
The Golden Light Talisman and the Cleansing Heart Talisman can also use the essence of the sun and the moon as materials. Similarly, the Cleansing Heart Spell, the Golden Light Body Protection, and the Sun Flame Spell can also use high-grade materials, but he does not have the capital to do so.
. . . .
The next morning, when Crown arrived at the church in armor, he found someone waiting at the door.
Tula Baiyang greeted warmly: "Good day, sir."
Clown smiled and replied, "Good day. Your Excellency, please go to the training ground and wait for a moment. I will see if there are any urgent tasks today. The training ground is on the left side behind the church."
The other party was so eager to give him experience that he simply couldn't refuse.
"OK."
Tula agreed and the two separated.
As long as Crown was in Sanctuary, he would meet with the other two bishops every morning to confirm whether there were any tasks for the day.
Although he has free time most of the time, he still has to maintain this attitude.
When we arrived at Fanny's office, Nick was there too.
Nick asked in confusion: "What are you doing, wearing armor?"
This good friend possesses a metal spirit that can cover his body with a thin layer of armor with amazing defensive power. Now, even in combat, he no longer wears armor.
The weight of the advanced armor is about twenty pounds. For a third-level extraordinary person, this weight is not a burden at all, but the opponent gave up this layer of defense in order to achieve a faster speed.
"I have an appointment with Tula to learn swordplay from him."
“Although Tula is a priest, he has a great talent for swordsmanship, and my father is very optimistic about his abilities.
He is a proud and arrogant person. If he doesn't recognize a person's ability, he won't bother to pay attention to him.
He must have witnessed your strength during the battle in the mining area, so he took the initiative to show his good will."
Fanny said, handing over a document: "This is the list of equipment that needs to be produced recently. Those specially marked parts need to be rushed.
The mine will be back in production soon, and you'll be busy once the first batch of materials arrives."
Crown took the document, glanced at it, and smiled, "No problem."
It would take a few days for the mine to start mining, so he still had some free time.
Most of the production tasks are ordinary refined metal equipment, which can be completed by the blacksmiths recruited by Del.
With his strength, he wouldn't waste a few days on the remaining forging tasks of extraordinary equipment.
He was glad in his heart that it was the right choice not to become the head of the parish. It was more suitable for his development to work in a less busy position.
"Anything else?"
If he had nothing to do, he would go to the training ground. Every extra minute he spent there would earn him 60 extra seconds of experience, and actual combat could quickly improve his proficiency in swordsmanship.
He had already made up his mind to upgrade the level of the cross sword first this time.
Nick said: "The Archbishop has a new order. The town of Lorente is now under continuous attack. Although the use of a large number of guns and bombs can resist the attacks of fishmen and deep divers, the third-level extraordinary people on the front line began to hear whispers at night.
That was the whisper of the evil god. Perhaps before long, second-level transcendents, first-level transcendents, and even ordinary people would be able to hear the whisper.
The garrison of Lorente Town must strictly implement the rotation tasks. In our parish, I will take the rotation next month, and the month after next, Fanny, you will be on the third rotation. "
