Chapter 180: Invitation (thanks to the **** knight for rewarding the leader)
For three days in a row, after practicing knight swordsmanship, he practiced a kind of meditation method in the wizard book of three second-level wizards. Soon, the cultivation speed of the three meditation methods was measured.
The first meditation method, the meditation method recorded in the wizard book of the old wizard, the growth rate of spiritual power is four times that of the original one.
The second meditation method, the meditation method recorded in the Wizard's Book of the Wizard of the Golden Ring on the nose, is a mountain-shaped rune meditation method, and the growth rate of spiritual power is 4.5 times that of the original.
The third meditation method, the meditation method recorded in the wizard book of the hooked-nosed wizard, is an ant-shaped rune meditation method, and the growth rate of spiritual power is six times that of the original one.
The result is obvious, the meditation method of the hooked-nosed wizard is the best among the three, and the meditation method practiced by the other two is much worse than this meditation method.
There is nothing to hesitate, Sean immediately decided this meditation method as a meditation method for future practice.
In the evening, Sean left the residence and went to the tavern for dinner.
The tavern in the evening was noisy. The mercenaries returning from the wilderness boasted about their deeds in the wilderness, and clinked glasses wildly with ale from time to time.
"Amy, a goulash."
Frowning slightly, Sean sat down on an empty table and said to a girl in a dark green dress.
The girl has long golden hair, green eyes that look like jewels, and the dark green dress on her body squeezes her plump figure to the point where she is about to emerge.
"Okay, Mr. Sean, please wait a moment."
The girl nodded and walked towards the back kitchen.
The girl knows Sean. After all, as long as he is in the Fortress of Kedot, Sean will eat here every morning, noon and evening, and he will naturally get to know him after a long time.
Sean also knows this girl. The girl's name is Amy Evelyn. She is the daughter of the owner of the store. Whenever the store is too busy, she will come out to help.
After ordering food, Sean waited quietly, and at this moment, a voice sounded beside him.
"Hi, may I sit here?"
Sean looked up, and saw a middle-aged man with two beards standing at the dining table, looking at him. Sean subconsciously used the detection ability of the talent net on this middle-aged man.
【race; human】
【Knight Talent: Advanced】
【Swordsmanship Talent: Intermediate】
【Earth Element Talent: Elementary (Earth Thorns)】
Seeing this middle-aged talent, Sean couldn't help squinting his eyes. Judging from the other party's age and talent, the strength may not be weak.
People with high-level knight talent, as long as they don't indulge, can generally reach the level of a great knight at the age of the other party, and if the high-level knight talent possessed by the other party is top-notch in the same level, and if they work hard enough, they will be even better. It is possible to become a paladin, as is the case with Walton Gaoxiu, the strong man of the Kingdom of Carlo. Although the knight talent is only high-level, it has reached the field of paladins.
Sean didn't know whether the man in front of him was such a person, but since the other party had a primary bloodline talent, and this primary bloodline talent was attacking, it was almost inevitable that he would have the strength comparable to a paladin.
"Please sit down!"
Sean nodded, he could tell that this person was coming for him.
"Hi, I'm Richards Nelson."
After sitting down, the man introduced himself.
Hearing the man's self-introduction, Sean glanced at him unexpectedly. He had heard of this name before.
Richards Nelson, the captain of the saber-toothed tiger mercenary team, a veteran strongman with the combat power of the paladins. It is said that the strength of the opponent can be ranked in the forefront even among many people with the combat power of the paladins in Kedote.
"I'm Sean Campbell."
Sean introduced himself.
"I know."
Richards Nelson didn't hide, but said directly.
"To be honest, I have sent someone to investigate you for three days and found out that you eat here every day, so I came here."
Being investigated by someone is not a pleasant thing, but the other party admitted so generously, and Sean didn't feel much disgusted with the other party.
"I don't know what Captain Richards Nelson wants me to do?"
"I believe that Mr. Sean should have noticed it too. That's right, I'm here to invite you to join our saber-toothed tiger mercenary team!"
Richards Nelson spoke sincerely.
"Really?"
The thought that it really was so flashed in my heart, and Sean apologized more and more.
"Sorry, Captain Richards Nelson, I don't plan to join any mercenary team."
"Can you think about it again? If you join our mercenary team, I can let you serve as the vice-captain of the mercenary team."
Richards Nelson looked forward to Sean.
"Sorry, I really have no plans for this."
Facing the expectant eyes of the other party, Sean shook his head. He has too many secrets and is really not suitable for teaming up with others.
"I see."
Richards Nelson showed disappointment on his face. He could see that Sean really didn't want to join any mercenary team, and it wasn't for rejecting him or raising a price.
"Mr. Sean, your goulash!"
At this moment, Amy Evelyn came out with a tray, and lightly placed a large plate of beef stew with potatoes on the table in front of Sean.
"Thanks."
Sean thanked him, and then looked at Richards Nelson again.
"The goulash with potatoes in this tavern is very good. If you haven't had dinner, I suggest you have one."
"Okay, give me a goulash with potatoes."
Hearing what Sean said, Richards Nelson nodded, and said to Amy Evelyn next to him.
…
After dinner, Sean left the tavern and headed for his residence.
Since he showed his paladin strength at the gate of the city, these days, Richards Nelson is not the first person to come to invite him to join, some people even went to visit his residence directly.
With his current strength, joining the mercenary team is not only not beneficial, but will become a burden, so he rejected all the mercenary teams who came to invite him like today.
"Um?"
Suddenly, Sean groaned softly, because in front of his residence, there was actually an exquisite carriage pulled by two healthy horses.
He stepped forward suspiciously, and saw two people standing at the door of his house, a young man and a middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man is wearing a yellow knight outfit, tall and burly, and should be more than 2.2 meters tall. Standing there is like an iron tower.
In comparison, the young man looks too thin. He is wearing a white knight outfit. Although he is not bad in spirit, he will give people a sense of weakness when compared with the middle-aged strong man.
Seeing Sean approaching, the young and middle-aged both turned their heads. The middle-aged looked at Sean with scrutiny, while the young said with joy.
"Hello, we meet again!"
"It's you…"
Sean recognized this young man in white knight attire. It was the young man named Bryce Carter who was accidentally rescued in the wilderness last time.
Opening the courtyard door, Sean led the two of them into the courtyard and sat down in the living room. Instead of serving them tea, he poured them a glass of freshly squeezed juice today.
After all, his method of cooking tea with witchcraft is a bit shocking, and it is really not suitable for the two of them to see.
After pouring himself a glass of juice, Sean sat down and looked at Bryce Carter with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
He is not surprised that other mercenary teams in the fortress can find his residence. After all, each of these mercenary teams has been rooted in the fortress for many years, and they have already established their own intelligence network, but this one is obviously new to Kedote. It was a little surprising that Bryce Carter, a young man in the fortress, could find himself here. Sean estimated that the family behind the other party should not be simple.
Moreover, the middle-aged man who followed the young man without making a sound, like a wooden pier, also deepened his judgment.
【Race: Human】
【Knight Talent: Advanced】
【Battle Ax Talent: Intermediate】
【Strength Talent: Elementary】
This is the talent of this middle-aged man. If there is no accident, this is another person whose combat power can reach that of a paladin.
"I'm here on a special trip this time to thank you and say goodbye!"
Seeing Sean's gaze, Bryce Carter said.
"Leave the stronghold?"
Sean asked.
"Yes."
Bryce Carter gave a wry smile.
"In fact, I sneaked out, and the family members have already found them, so I can only follow them back."
"It's okay to go back, this place is too dangerous."
In Sean's opinion, the other party's experience is too inexperienced, and the fortress is full of dragons and snakes, so the other party is indeed not suitable to stay here.
"Yeah, I almost died there on the first day I went to the wilderness."
Bryce Carter smiled wryly again.
"If you hadn't rescued me last time, I would have died in the hands of those five people."
"This time finally made me understand what it means to be sinister. This is a little wish from me and my family. Please don't refuse."
The middle-aged man behind Bryce Carter placed a crystal bottle filled with light green liquid on the coffee table.
"Okay, I'll take it."
After staying for more than an hour, Bryce Carter and the middle-aged man sat in the exquisite carriage that Sean saw at the door and left. Before parting, Bryce Carter invited Sean to visit his house in the future, and the other party His family is in the imperial capital.
"What a great deal!"
After sending the two of them off, Sean returned to the living room, looking at the crystal bottle filled with light green liquid on the coffee table.
He had seen such a crystal bottle before. Back then, the "hard work" that the seventeenth princess of the Kolben Empire bestowed on their kingdom powerhouses was such a crystal bottle.
In other words, this is a bottle of auxiliary cultivation medicine that can increase Xiao En's strength by 10,000 jin.
The seventeenth princess, Cycia Tomyris, is from the most powerful family in the empire after all, so it is understandable that she can send something like this, but the Carter family behind Bryce Carter can actually come up with something of this value As a thank you gift, this is a bit unusual. Even if the other party's family is in the imperial capital, it is probably not a simple family.
