Chapter 242: Training Begins (Two Chapters in One)
The Formal Training Ground is behind a garden with trees of different heights. When Ryan saw it for the first time, he was amazed.
The Sword Bearer Branch is indeed rich!
In the provincial capital of Munster, where every inch of land is worth a lot of money, the Sword Bearer Branch's formal training ground covers a large area.
At this moment, on the right side of Ryan's vision is a three-story indoor training building with a white concave arc shape. The building is also built with white strips of stone, and the columns and top of the surface have some simple scroll carvings.
It looks grand and beautiful.
And right in front of Ryan is the green grass that hits him. This is an outdoor training ground that covers an area of several normal horse farms, and there are several stables on the side of the field.
At this moment, there are many sword bearers on the horse farm, controlling the horses to circle, jump, sprint, etc.
Ryan looked closely and found that most of the horses were as tall and strong as his black horse, with a striking tuft of hair on their calves.
This should be the high-level horse breed 'Locoma' that Veronica mentioned before.
Looking further away, Ryan saw a griffin platform that looked like a plate.
Yes, this is a huge round platform, about two meters above the ground, supported by a hard and thick white stone pillar underneath, but the number of griffins is a bit small.
Including the two griffins flying in the sky and the only two left on the platform, there are only four griffins in total. I don't know if there were so many originally, or if many griffins were sent out for missions.
At this moment, the two griffins on the platform, each with three or four staff members responsible for feeding, surrounded and cleaned and combed the griffins' feathers.
This platform should be an independent griffin platform of the Sword Bearer Division, and it should not be subordinate to the griffin platform on the top of Munster.
"Control the griffin?"
Ryan was quite excited and immediately had an idea.
After showing the bronze badge to the guards who were guarding the side, Ryan was able to enter the training ground.
After a little inquiry, Ryan found out that only silver-level swordsmen were qualified to train griffins, and the training fee was very expensive, reaching 50 merit points per hour. If one
is not talented,
then it would be a very expensive expense!
In addition, training is training, and renting a griffin for a mission is another expense.
Of course, assigned missions are excluded.
Assigned missions are equivalent to "business trips". If you specify to ride a griffin, it is considered a "public bus" trip, which is naturally not affected by authority, and at the same time, the fee is free.
"Fortunately, I also have a Blood Feather Hippogryph. Let's wait a few more months."
"By the way, I should go and see a few pets these two days. I can consider feeding Blood Feather more mutation growth potion. I don't know if the naturally violent species will mutate after taking it, but it should still have the effect of accelerating growth after taking it."
"Also, why hasn't the black horse entered the violent beast yet?"
"I remember that 'Cookie' is about two months." After
Ryan's thoughts diverged
for a few minutes, Ryan followed the guard's instructions and came to the tall curved building with a white stone wall.
Even standing outside the building, Ryan could feel waves of mysterious energy particles coming from its interior. This kind of fluctuation is complex and diverse.
The more obvious ones are the fluctuations of several energy particles such as water and earth.
It seems that here, as Instructor Kullman said, witchcraft is applied to the physical strengthening of knights and great knights.
This is an unimaginable luxury in Mayster County, but in the Sword Bearer Branch of the provincial capital Munster, it seems to have become a common training content.
The difference is huge, which can be seen from this.
Ryan stepped into the lobby on the first floor, and saw a circular service desk not far in front of him. There were three young female staff members busy at the service desk.
Outside the service desk, there was a girl who seemed to be in charge of guiding. When she saw Ryan coming in and looking around, her eyes lit up immediately, and she took the initiative to step forward and bowed politely:
"Hello, sir, this is the training building, may I help you?"
Huh?
Not bad!
There are actually shopping guides similar to those in the shopping malls in the previous life.
Ryan thought about it and asked directly: "Well, this is my first time here, can you give me a brief introduction to the training building?"
"Of course, sir, on the corridor to your left is the Quicksand Hall and the Swamp Room, and on the corridor to your right is the Rapids Room. If this is your first time here, I suggest you start with the Rapids Room."
"The Rapids Room is divided into the Ordinary Rapids Room and the Advanced Rapids Room." The welcoming girl talked freely.
"The ordinary rapids chamber is mainly used to simulate the vortex environment for you adults. Under the influence of water resistance, you can exercise the accuracy and stability of extraordinary combat skills. Of course, it will also have a certain effect on improving physical fitness."
"And the advanced rapids chamber is mainly prepared to improve the physical fitness of you adults."
"The method used is to use high-speed water jets to impact various parts of the human body. It has a strong water impact effect, which can enhance blood vessel elasticity, muscle fascia tension, and nerve reaction, etc." "
In the advanced rapids chamber, the longer you stay, the better the effect. Of course, this depends on the physical condition of each adult."
Ryan found it quite interesting and glanced at the girl. Judging from her breath, the girl was just an ordinary person. How could she know anything about fascia tension.
Therefore, what the welcoming girl said was obviously memorized by rote.
It's like a two-year-old child reciting ancient poems in his previous life. He can recite them fluently, but he doesn't understand them at all when asked
. "At the same time, in the advanced rapids room, there are many options, such as alternating hot and cold, cold water baths and cool water baths to make the exercise more effective. Of course, as for the cost, you need to add another five merit points per hour."
"In addition, you can also choose to add igneous rock ore particles to further enhance the water jet effect. However, you need to pay an additional 15 merit points per hour."
"Of course, although the above options will enhance the effect, they will also greatly increase the stimulation of the rapids to the body. It is recommended that you do it according to your ability."
Alternating hot and cold?
Adding igneous rock ore particles?
Why does it sound like a high-intensity version of SPA?
Ryan looked thoughtful.
In addition, the ordinary rapids room is mainly for training the accuracy and stability of extraordinary combat skills, which is inconsistent with the purpose of his trip.
However, I can try it later and practice Locken's axe and shield combat skills to see the effect.
Now, according to the advice of Instructor Kuhlmann, it is natural to go to the advanced rapids room first.
So Ryan turned his head and asked, "Well, please ask, is there any room in the advanced rapids room now?"
"My lord, you are so lucky. The ordinary rapids room is full, and there is still one room in the advanced rapids room. Do you want to use it now?"
"Yes, right now."
"Then please show your badge at the front desk." The reception girl took Ryan to the service desk.
"Oh, right, help me choose the hot and cold alternation, and add the igneous rock particles." Ryan thought for a moment and said.
"Sir, can you do it?"
"No, no, sir, I mean, you can do it step by step." The reception girl covered her mouth, blinked her big eyes and looked at Ryan, with an apologetic look on her face.
Obviously, she said the wrong thing, and was afraid that Ryan would pursue it.
Ryan waved his hand and said, "It's okay, add them all."
"As for the time."
"I suggest that you don't need to preset the time in advance. Once you feel that there is anything wrong with your body, you can press the red handle in the room to stop. Do you think it's okay?" The girl said hurriedly.
"Yes, by the way, if it's not a full hour, how to charge?" Ryan suddenly thought of a question.
"Regarding the charge, sir, if it exceeds a full hour, less than half an hour will be charged as half an hour, and more than half an hour will be charged as a full hour."
"Well, it's reasonable." Ryan smiled and nodded.
Seeing Ryan's smile and agreement, the receptionist finally breathed a sigh of relief, and her service attitude became better. She took the initiative to ask:
"Sir, then I will take you there now?" The receptionist pointed to the corridor on the right and said.
In fact, the receptionist's duty is to greet at the door, not to accompany.
But perhaps to make up for the mistake of saying the wrong thing just now, or because of Ryan's handsome appearance, the girl was quite enthusiastic and proactive.
"Okay, thank you."
"It's my honor, sir, then please follow me. On the right side of the first floor are the ordinary rapids room and the advanced rapids room. Every day, many adults come here to train." The girl introduced as she walked.
Soon, Ryan followed the girl through a long corridor and came to a spacious hall. There were many long chairs covered with soft suede and shaped like sofas in the hall.
On many long chairs, there were many strong men sitting in groups of three or two, and each of them was as big as Ryan.
Come to think of it, this rapids room is designed for knights and great knights.
However, Ryan also found that almost all of them were holding weapons. So, these people should be waiting for the ordinary rapids room to practice extraordinary combat skills.
It seems that his choice is still correct. If he chose the ordinary rapids room, he would have to queue up now.
"Sir, these are advanced rapids rooms. You have just completed the relevant procedures at the service desk. You only need to use your sword bearer emblem to swipe this black wisdom stone slab to enter."
"Before you cancel, this advanced rapids room can only be used by you." The girl introduced.
"Well, okay, thank you." Ryan followed the girl's instructions and swiped the bronze emblem.
I saw a few lines of words displayed on the black wisdom stone slab:
"Start time: 13:33."
"Charging standard: 15 merit points/hour."
"Additional one"
and saw the girl taking Ryan into an advanced rapids room.
Many strong men in the hall looked over with envy. "Little white faces are popular.
If it were me, I have never met a little girl who took the initiative to accompany me here." Baltan said enviously.
"Baltan, with your size, the girl could be crushed to death by you." A companion teased Baltan, a 2.3-meter-tall muscular man.
"Don't mention it. He can go to the Advanced Torrent Room. Obviously he has a lot of merit points. He might be the captain."
"How could he be the captain if he is so young and unfamiliar? He must come from a powerful family. Before joining the Sword Bearers, he got a lot of merit points in the functional departments of the Empire." A young man with a beard who looked to be in his twenties analyzed.
"That's right. Kim's words make sense." After listening to it, the others couldn't help but nod.
But Kim thought about it and seemed to be a little curious about how long the young man was going to stay in the Advanced Torrent Room. So, he got up and walked quickly to the door of the room that Ryan had just entered.
He casually glanced at the black wisdom slate, and the next second, he couldn't help but take a breath.
"Hiss~"
It turned out that there were a few lines of small white words under the charging standard:
"Extra one: alternating hot and cold, fee +5"
"Extra 2: Igneous Ore Particles, cost +15"
"Total cost: 35 merit points/hour."
Thinking of how stingy she was with the five merit points per hour in the ordinary rapids room, Kim couldn't help but swear:
"Fuck! So fucking rich!"
Seeing Kim's expression change, the people around him also came up curiously. After taking a look, they were surprised:
"Is this how you spend your merit points?"
"So rich!"
It's not that they can't afford the cost, but they have more expenses in other places, such as buying more advanced extraordinary combat skills, some combat potions and auxiliary training potions, etc., so they naturally have to save their merit points.
Although the rapids room has the best effect after adding all the merit points, it costs too much, and the cost-effectiveness is far worse than practicing extraordinary combat skills in the ordinary rapids room while slowly improving physical fitness.
In addition, it is too stimulating and the endurance time is too short, so the effect is not very good.
"Hey, that's not right, Baltan, have you seen this person before?"
"No, I saw him for the first time today." Baltan looked thoughtful, and after a while, he shook his head.
Kim looked at the others, and they all shook their heads.
"Hahaha, that's interesting, this young man must be here for the first time." Kim said jokingly.
"If nothing is added, the average knight can stay in there for two hours, but if it's hot and cold, I'm afraid he will come out in an hour."
"The key is that he also added a volcanic ore particle! This is interesting."
"How long do you think he will come out?"
"Ten minutes? Or a quarter of an hour, hahaha." Kim laughed.
"A quarter of an hour,"
"I'll add another five minutes, twenty minutes."
"I think it can be half an hour, after all, young people like to save face!"
Everyone laughed.
At this time, a thick-browed strong man came over and asked with a smile: "What happened? Why are you guys so happy?"
"Hey, it's Captain Waynes."
Everyone greeted him.
"Boss, this is what happened." Kim gestured and smiled as he told the story again, saying, "Captain, you are here to use the advanced rapids room this time, right?"
"Then let's queue for this one? It should be out soon, maybe a few minutes."
"No wonder the front desk just said it was full. OK, I'll listen to you and queue for this one." When Waynes heard this, he smiled immediately, and without thinking much, he walked forward and swiped the badge on the black wisdom stone slab at the door of Ryan's room. Soon
, a line of words appeared at the bottom of the wisdom stone slab:
"New queue: 1 person."
When Ryan closed the door, he found that the rapids room was not small, about 50 square meters, and in the center was a huge bath with a diameter of about four meters.
There was a striking red handle next to the bath, and as long as it was turned, all rapids in the rapids room could be stopped.
In addition, the bath was surrounded by a special kind of white stone bricks that fit together perfectly. The most striking thing was the holes of different sizes and densely packed on the bricks.
The holes were thick and thin. The thick ones were as big as a fist, while the thin ones were smaller than the diameter of a little finger.
There was a circular metal nozzle at the front of each hole.
When Ryan walked forward, he saw many holes at the bottom of the pool through the slightly rippling clear red water.
I think these holes should be used to spray rapids.
In addition, the depth of the pool reached three meters. Of course, the water level was not that high. When Ryan took off his underwear and entered the pool, he found that the water level was only up to his knees.
At this time, the light around him suddenly dimmed.
It seemed to be to better allow the trainees to concentrate on their bodies.
"Sizzle!"
The dense sound of water flow sounded!
The holes in the pool began to spray high-speed water, hitting Ryan's naked and strong body.
"That's it?"
"No feeling."
Ryan only felt that the water temperature was quite cold, including the bottom of the pool he stepped on, which also sprayed water at this moment, hitting Ryan's feet, giving him a tingling foot massage feeling.
The next second, Ryan suddenly realized!
His talent 'Intermediate Steel Body' is a passive ability. Under the defense of the intermediate steel body, this high-speed water flow that would have caused skin tingling made Ryan feel like he was taking a shower
. Immediately, Ryan concentrated his mind and dispersed the defensive effect of his own talent.
Suddenly, there was a tingling sensation on the skin!
But soon, this tingling and shock began to take effect.
Ryan felt that his body was changing. The muscle fascia began to tremble slightly, as if it was stimulated by something and began to become active.
After a while, the temperature of the water flow suddenly changed, from nearly zero degrees, quickly rising to thirty degrees.
Forty degrees.
Soon it reached seventy or eighty degrees, such a hot temperature!
Ice and fire!
Sour and refreshing!
But the effect is also very significant.
At this moment, Ryan's muscle fascia in his body became more active. He could feel that some small muscles and fascia that were not exercised by the Bear King Breathing Method were also driven together this time and trembled slightly.
After a while, the lights dimmed again.
Suddenly, the sound of the water jet became sharper, as if mixed with some small particles.
At this time, Ryan closed his eyes slightly. He could see that the water jetting out of the holes in the pool wall had turned light red. This should be the so-called igneous rock particles.
These tiny particles hurt when they hit the surface of Ryan's skin!
But the effect was also very good.
After hitting some fascia joints, some of the muscle adhesions during the previous outbreak were now shaken and loosened.
It was just that the pain was really painful. Even if Ryan didn't look down, he knew that his skin must be like a roasted lobster at this moment.
As time went by, this pain became more and more intense and unbearable as the girl said.
After thinking about it, Ryan tried to slowly restore the defensive effect of the "Intermediate Steel Body".
Of course, for the effect of the rapids, Ryan controlled the steel body effect to about 10%.
I saw that this pain was immediately weakened, but the overall impact effect of the rapids was not greatly affected.
This made Ryan happy!
And after he took the powerful strength potion, the effect of the medicine entrenched in his body began to accelerate into his body because of the rapids.
Soon, fifteen minutes passed.
At this time, the people outside the door began to look up at Ryan's room frequently, waiting for the sound of the door opening.
After a few minutes, everyone was a little surprised.
"Kim, this young man is quite strong." Baltan said in a muffled voice.
"This. Yes!" Kim was also very surprised.
"But it should be soon."
After another five minutes, everyone was silent.
Because they knew very well that there were not many people who could hold on for twenty minutes under these two additional conditions. Even if there were, they were all great knights with extremely firm wills.
However, they believed that the young man should be reaching his limit.
Because this kind of rapids will become more and more intense and more difficult
to endure in the advanced rapids room.
Ryan discovered a little trick, that is, under the impact of the high-speed rapids mixed with igneous rock particles, if he posed the exercise movements of the Bear King Breathing Method, the effect of this rapids would be better.
At this moment, he felt warm all over, and some of the original muscle fiber damage was gradually repaired by the accelerated blood flow.
Most of the adhesions caused by muscle strain during the earlier outbreak were also broken up at this moment.
The capillaries immediately replenished various nutrients to these repaired parts.
At this time, a system prompt suddenly appeared:
[Congratulations! Your strength attribute has been improved!]
"Huh?"
"The effect of this drug is released so quickly?"
"According to the text on the label, the effect of this powerful strength potion is slowly released within about half a month."
"Although it is fast at the beginning and slow at the end, it won't be so fast."
"In theory, it should be reasonable to increase it a little bit after four or five days, and in the last half a month, it will increase it a little bit, and the overall increase will be about 10%." Ryan said to himself.
As the strength attribute increased from 28 to 29, Ryan's whole person suddenly became vigorous. While enduring the impact of the high-speed torrent, he once again increased the intensity of the Bear King Breathing Method.
Ryan was practicing happily in the room, but the people outside the room were already staring at each other.
It's been 45 minutes.
How could this young man inside be here
? Kim glanced at his captain Waynes and looked embarrassed. He was the one who asked the captain to line up for this room, but he still hadn't come out.
However, Waynes didn't notice Kim's little move at this moment. Instead, he frowned slightly, as if thinking about something.
After a few minutes, Waynes couldn't help but look puzzled and asked:
"Are you sure it's a young man who doesn't know who went in? And not the captain of another team?"
"Never seen him before!"
"Yeah, even the captain who was promoted last year, we have seen him once or twice. This is definitely the first time we've seen him."
"Pah!"
Suddenly, Kim's eyes lit up, and he slapped his thigh heavily, with an expression of sudden enlightenment, and said:
"Hey, do you think it's possible that this young man fainted in there before he could turn the handle?"
