Chapter 50 Expensive Fees
"How much? 4 gold coins?" Gervis, who had just stood up, almost fell back on the stool. Gervis knew that the cost of weapon enhancement was very high, but he did not expect it to be this high. He originally thought that one gold coin would be the maximum, but the discounted amount was only one gold coin, which left Gervis speechless.
"I shouldn't have pretended if I had known. Four gold coins are enough for me to equip more than sixty soldiers." Gervis felt distressed. He originally wanted to pretend to be a lord in front of Brian, who was also a titled knight, but he didn't expect to put himself in a trap.
"Yes, Lord, the materials needed to prepare the paint are all very precious things, such as Mithril..."
"Alright, alright, send it to the castle tomorrow after it's been strengthened. You won't lose a single gold coin when the time comes. You have to guarantee the effect. I might even use up the remaining paint for you in the future."
Seeing that Brian was originally in high spirits, but immediately became nervous when he heard that he thought it was too expensive, Gervis found it funny. This noble alchemist was probably afraid of being poor, and was now trying to cash in the remaining paint. If he didn't strengthen himself, he would still have to live a poor life.
Although he thought it was a bit expensive, Gervis still refrained from saying the three words "no enhancement". He really needed a good weapon now, which could multiply his combat effectiveness. Whether it was a system mission or intercepting Viscount Lanny's convoy, he needed a good weapon.
"Yes, yes, thank you, Lord. Take care, Lord."
Gervis did not respond, fearing that he would change his mind and not strengthen it. After all, he was very poor now.
"Benny's five gold coins were gone before they were even warm. I hope you can support my wine business."
On the way back to the castle, Gervis looked at his castle from afar and made a wish weakly.
…
"grown ups……"
As soon as he returned to the castle, Gervis saw two rows of boys and girls standing in the vestibule, and Thomas was giving a lecture.
"My lord, you are back."
Thomas, who had sharp ears, heard the greeting coming from the castle gate and immediately stopped lecturing. He walked quickly to Gervis with a flattering look on his face and took the reins from Gervis' hand.
"Well, how's the selection of servants going, Thomas."
After Thomas steadied the horse, Gervis turned over and stepped off the horse, then looked at the two rows of boys and girls.
The boys and girls were also secretly looking at Gervis, but when they saw that Gervis's eyes were sweeping towards them, they were all startled and turned their heads quickly, not daring to move.
"My Lord, I was just about to report to you. Today's selection of servants went smoothly, but I took the initiative to add one more maid. Please punish me, my Lord."
After saying this, Thomas bent down, as if he was really waiting for Gervis's punishment.
"Okay, you are the butler, you can decide whether to add one more vacancy or take one less vacancy. Just manage the castle for me." Gervis knew Thomas's ability, so he didn't ask the reason and simply ignored Thomas' show.
"By the way, send someone to inform the town and village tomorrow that I want to collect wild boars. I want them to be grown up! Remember to tell them not to damage the wild boar skins. I want to use them to make leather armor."
"Yes, sir. I will send someone to inform all the villages tomorrow. Thank you for your magnanimity." Thomas immediately smiled. Gervis' trust in him was Thomas' greatest reliance. He couldn't help but be happy.
"I'm going to practice my fighting spirit, you go and do your own thing."
"Yes, sir."
After sending Thomas away, Gervis came to the courtyard where the training space was located. The guards at the gate of the courtyard saw Gervis coming towards him from afar, and immediately opened the gate of the courtyard to await Gervis' arrival.
"grown ups."
"Well, let me use your sword."
When he reached the door and saw the long sword in the guard's hand, Gervis remembered that his long sword was left with Brian, so he stopped and took the long sword from the guard.
After getting the sword, Gervis went straight into the training space.
Kill~Kill~Kill~
In the training space, Gervis was sweating profusely, constantly adding his fighting spirit to the sword, and slashing continuously according to the martial arts he had learned in Gandalf's castle.
"About an hour, right?" After finally chopping off the last sword, Gervis collapsed to the ground.
"I heard from Nashen before that the Bronze Knight can only sustain continuous fighting for half an hour. Could it be that this is the effect of the golden fruit I ate?" Although he was very tired, Gervis' heart was burning with excitement because he could use his fighting spirit for twice as long as others.
Having twice as much fighting spirit as people at the same level can give Gervis a great advantage. For example, if he encounters an evenly matched opponent, Gervis can even wear the opponent down.
There was no one to teach Gervis at the moment. If Nashen were here, he would definitely be shocked. Even those geniuses with extraordinary talents only had a higher affinity with spiritual energy. It has never been heard that the fighting spirit stored in the sea of qi can be twice that of the same level.
The Qi Sea is like a water tank, and the Dou Qi is like the water. When the tank is full, the water will naturally overflow and merge back into the world.
A bronze beginner knight can only store enough fighting qi to fight for half an hour. This is a rule. Unless he breaks through the realm, his physical strength increases again, and his qi sea is widened, he will be able to store more fighting qi.
There is only one possible explanation for Gervis's situation, and that is because of the golden fruit. When the golden fruit transformed his body, it also widened the qi sea that had not yet opened.
After a short rest, Gervis sat cross-legged on the ground with excitement and began to recover his fighting spirit. Although his body could absorb the spiritual energy from the heaven and earth unconsciously during the battle, the speed was very slow. Only by sitting quietly and letting out his senses could he recover quickly. After sitting for more than ten minutes, Gervis stood up again, and his fighting spirit had been fully restored.
"Critical attack three sword cuts!"
After his fighting spirit was restored, Gervis began to train his ultimate move again. Although the three sword slashes were powerful, the technique of invoking the fighting spirit was not easy to master, so Gervis felt that he needed to practice more.
It currently takes him two breaths to perform the critical triple sword slash. This is because the meridians in his body have been widened by the golden fruit, making the circulation of his fighting spirit smoother. His speed in these two breaths is no slower than Na Shen's.
But Gervis felt that he could make these two breaths even shorter.
Gervis spent the entire afternoon in the training space. When his fighting spirit was exhausted, Gervis immediately sat cross-legged to recover. Ten minutes later, he began training again. He trained over and over again in this way. Gervis forgot how many times he had performed the critical strike three swords.
Until the end, I felt that the spiritual energy in the space became thinner and the recovery speed slowed down several times, so I had to stop training.
