Chapter 173: Fresh?
One month later, in the courtyard outside an old house in the south of the fortress.
Shua, Shua, Shua!
The sword light flickered, interweaving into a beautiful pattern, beautiful but more dangerous.
Because every stroke interwoven into this beautiful pattern is the full blow of a great knight.
After a long time, Sean put his sword back into its sheath, stood where he was, and began to adjust his shortness of breath due to cultivation.
The place where the skinny man rented reminded Sean that since he planned to stay in Fortress Cedot for a long time, he naturally couldn’t live in the tavern all the time. A place of chivalry.
Although the backyard of the tavern can also be used as a place for cultivation, it is easy to be disturbed by people coming and going, and one cannot fully devote oneself to cultivation.
So, after he left the room of the emaciated man, he went straight back to the tavern and returned the room.
He wanted to find a house that was not too big, but must have a courtyard and a wall.
It must be hard to find a sudden search, but there is a kind of person called "snakehead" in the Kedot Fortress. Check in.
Afterwards, Sean lived in this house, except that he needed to go to the tavern in the morning, noon, and evening, and stayed here most of the time.
Occasionally, because the medicine to assist cultivation is exhausted, I go to the exchange office of the fortress to exchange for military merit.
Under the condition that there is no limit to the medicines that assist in cultivation, Sean's cultivation speed is terrifying. In just one month, Sean's strength has increased by 10,000 jin, reaching 110,000 jin.
At this speed, Sean is confident that even the Seventeenth Princess Cycia Tomyris, who keeps all kinds of precious auxiliary medicines, should not be able to reach it.
The reason why he was able to achieve it was entirely because of the terrifying knight talent beyond the top to achieve excellence.
The terrifying knight talent that reached the excellence level brought him not only a terrifying cultivation speed, but also a terrifying absorption speed for auxiliary cultivation drugs.
For the same amount of auxiliary cultivation medicine, people with different talents have different absorption speeds. Some people may need ten days to absorb all the effects of the medicine, but some people only need five days or even one day.
Such a situation happened to Sean. It took ten days for an ordinary grand knight to absorb the effects of a bottle of auxiliary cultivation medicine, but Sean could absorb the effects in only one day.
The effect of such an absorption speed is naturally astonishing, which is why his strength can increase by 10,000 catties within a month.
However, because of this reason, Sean's consumption rate of auxiliary cultivation medicine is also terrifying. In just one month, more than 3,000 military achievements obtained from the thin man have consumed more than 1,000. According to this If the speed goes down, in another two months, all the remaining military achievements will be exhausted.
"It's time to go to the wilderness!"
Although the military exploits are still enough for two months, Sean doesn’t plan to wait until the military industry is exhausted before going to the wilderness. The combination of combat and cultivation is the way a knight should grow.
Packing water, bought dry food, and a foldable tent into the dimensional space, with an empty backpack on his back, Sean walked directly towards the gate of the fortress leading to the wilderness.
If it weren't for fear of not bringing anything, it would be too eye-catching, he wouldn't even bring this empty backpack.
"Please attack that metal wall!"
Coming to the gate of the city, a gatekeeper led Xiao En to a metal wall and said.
Sean nodded, but he didn't make a move immediately. Instead, he looked around and found a lot of peeping eyes. Obviously, many of these people should have the same relationship with the mercenary team that robbed him last time. same purpose.
The first time, I didn’t pay attention, but I didn’t notice it. This time, I noticed a lot.
But he didn't care. In the whole fortress, apart from the legendary knights among the three defenders, there was really no one who made him afraid.
Poof!
The knight drew out his sword, and slashed across the metal wall. On the metal wall, a sword mark appeared, a little more than one centimeter, and this extra bit was his growth in this month.
"The strength of the great knight, this is your identity card."
The defender glanced at the damage caused by Sean's sword, and handed Sean an identity card representing the great knight's strength from a tray next to him.
With the strength of a great knight at Sean's age, although it is very rare in the Carlo Kingdom, it is indeed not uncommon in the Kolben Empire. After all, this is the strongest country in human beings, so the gatekeepers are not very surprised.
"Thanks."
After receiving the ID card, Sean put it in his arms and walked straight to the gate of the city. This time, he also did not plan to form a team with others.
"Little brother, please wait a moment!"
But just as he was about to walk out of the fortress, a voice stopped him. He turned his head and saw a middle-aged mercenary walking towards him with a wide smile.
The middle-aged mercenary walked up to Sean with a smile on his face and said enthusiastically.
"Brother, are you interested in joining our Qinglang mercenary team?"
"Sorry, I won't join the mercenary team."
Sean shook his head and refused.
Seeing that Xiao En directly refused, the middle-aged mercenary looked anxious, and immediately said again.
"Temporary joining is also fine. One of our mercenary teammates is temporarily busy and can't go. There is one less person, and it is really inconvenient to cooperate. Brothers, please help us and replace that teammate for us temporarily."
"no."
Shawn refused without any discussion in his tone, and then walked out of the fortress door without giving the other party a chance to speak.
Looking at the back of Xiao En going away, the smile on the face of the middle-aged mercenary disappeared, his expression turned cold, and he said in a voice that only he could hear.
"This kid, you are too wary."
Of course he didn't come to Sean because a teammate couldn't go there temporarily.
That was just a cover, he came to Sean for only one purpose, and that was to secretly assassinate Sean after entering the wilderness, and take away the property from Sean.
Through this method, he has found several "temporary teammates", but none of these "temporary teammates" came back.
Regardless of the middle-aged mercenary, Sean strode into the wilderness from the fortress gate.
At first, he really failed to see the purpose of the middle-aged mercenary, but when the middle-aged mercenary sent him an invitation to "temporarily replace him", he unexpectedly discovered that there were a few older men not far away. The mercenary's face obviously gloated, and he immediately guessed that there might be something wrong with the middle-aged mercenary and the mercenary team behind the middle-aged mercenary.
It is very likely that this middle-aged mercenary has recruited "temporary teammates" not once or twice, so some old mercenaries in the fortress already know him.
All the way to the wilderness, Sean encountered several groups of corpses, the number of which was more than a hundred.
One of them is among the corpses, and there is even a corpse puppet with intermediate ice talent, but Sean did not choose to copy and fuse.
For him now, copying and fusing an intermediate-level ice bloodline talent is not very meaningful, it will only waste a chance to copy and fuse. Of course, if the level of this ice bloodline talent reaches an advanced level, that is another matter.
At night, the crescent moon hangs in the sky.
In an open space next to a forest, Sean lit a fire, and then took out the iron frame and a piece of marinated pork from the dimensional space, put them on top, sprinkled some powder seasoning, and started baked up.
After a while, the fat dripped, and the rich meaty aroma overflowed, making him swallow his saliva.
Today, he didn't find a single Wu clan member, so naturally he didn't gain anything.
This is normal, the wilderness is so big, it is impossible to meet Wu clansmen all the time, and there are not many situations that can be encountered. Last time, the few Wu clansmen he hunted and killed were all passed Tracked by the smell around the dead mercenaries.
Not long after, the barbecue on the rack was completely ready. Sean took off the iron rack wearing the barbecue, picked up a table knife next to it, cut off a slice, and then inserted it into his mouth.
"tasty."
The strong smell of meat burst out of Sean's mouth, and Sean's eyes lit up.
The powdered seasoning just now was prepared by an old chef in the fortress at his expense. After sprinkling it on, the taste of the barbecue immediately rose to a higher level, and it was much more delicious than the barbecue he roasted before.
"Looks like a newcomer!"
In the woods more than 50 meters away from Sean, a Wu tribe in a gray robe looked at Sean who was eating well in the distance, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.
"Do you want to do it?"
Beside him, there was also a Wu clansman wearing a gray robe, who was asking in a low voice.
"certainly."
The Wu people in front said with murderous intent in their eyes.
Then, the two Wu people took advantage of the darkness and slowly lurked towards Xiao En.
The distance between the two of them was getting closer to Sean, but Sean didn't notice it at all.
After careful attention, they discovered that both of them had cast some kind of latent witchcraft. Not only did their figures appear extremely blurry, they would only be regarded as shadows if they were not paying attention, and they even walked quietly on the ground, without any sound at all.
40 meters, 30 meters, 20 meters!
Phew!
Two Wu clansmen fought.
Almost at the same time, two five-meter-long cyan wind blades slashed fiercely towards Xiao En, one from the left and the other from the right.
The speed of wind-type witchcraft is already fast, coupled with the fact that it is too close to Sean, almost in the blink of an eye, two huge wind blades have already approached in front of Sean.
Seeing this, the faces of the two Wu people couldn't help showing a gleam of joy. Obviously, facing the sudden attack of the two of them, the other party didn't react at all.
However, the joy on the faces of the two of them did not last long.
Phew!
A flash of sword light flashed, and Sean, who hadn't reacted just now, had already drawn out his sword at some point, and smashed the joint attack of the two of them into pieces with a light stroke.
"This really catches mice!"
A sword shattered the two wind blades, and Xiao En looked in the direction of the attack, with a sneer on his face.
