Chapter 156: The Meeting
A moment before the sun rose, Dean appeared on the playground in a neat knight's uniform.
"Captain, morning!"
Huck. Red. He greeted Dean with his upper body, and then began the day's training, as did the young people who arrived one after another.
Listening to the loud trumpet, Dean couldn't help but straighten his body even more, as if he was a javelin, and his eyes flashed with that unique brightness, which made the young people who subconsciously looked at their regiment commander can't help but train harder.
Because, no matter how you look at it, their regimental commander is already restored.
If you don't train well, you will definitely be severely punished by the regimental commander - although it hurts to be kicked in the ass by Huck, but compared to Dean's endless punishment methods, the young people still prefer the former.
Still, each of them does not hold a grudge.
Because, before every punishment, their regimental commander will convince them; It's like what Huck did in the days when he became the deputy head of the regiment.
Dean's gaze followed the trained subordinates without blinking - in fact, daily training is essential for any knight and anyone who wants to become a knight, and even the great knight and the silver knight will not abandon such a habit.
Because, this is a step they have to take step by step.
For Dean, though.
Apparently there is no such time.
He's even better at using other ways to make himself stronger-
【Military Swordsmanship (Jade) Lv4→Lv5】
[Military Swordsmanship Lv5 (Jade): You have received the most rigorous training in the military camp, so that your swordsmanship has the characteristics of your country; Effect: When attacked, it can give agility +0.6 blessing; Duration: 6.6 (CON x 2) seconds, cooldown 16 (50 - CON X 10) min. 】
(Played a special +0.1 agility selection)
Cold Weapon (Sword/Hammer/Gun) Lv4→Lv5
[Cold Weapon (Sword/Hammer/Gun) Lv5: In the barracks.] Every warrior is trained in the right weapon as much as possible; Effect: In combat. When using a sword, hammer, or spear as a weapon. Gain +0.30 for Strength and +0.25 for Agility. 】
(Performed a special selection of +0.05 Strength)
Increasing the application skill Lv4 → LV5 costs 160 experience points, and the basic skill is 80 points.
Immediately, the total XP dropped from 271 to 31.
And these 31 experience points, Dean did not stay after thinking about it for a while, and directly allocated 18 points to [Ranged Weapons (Bow/Crossbow)] - although he is very good at bows and crossbows and other weapons. However, if you just rely on practice to level up, it's still too slow, and when most of the main skills have crossed to the level of Lv5, if the [Ranged Weapon (Bow/Crossbow)] is still stuck at Lv2, it is still not enough, and it is easy to drag down the strength of the main body.
Ranged Weapon (Bow/Crossbow) Lv2→Lv3
[Ranged Weapon (Bow/Crossbow) Lv3: The use of bows and crossbows seems to be simpler than long swords, but most of the time, it requires more talent. Even if it's just the basic part; Effect: When using a bow or crossbow weapon, gain +7.5% bonus to damage, hit, and block. 】
The [Ranged Weapon (Bow/Crossbow)] that originally had two points of combat experience immediately reached Lv3.
And Dean's total XP. It also dropped to 13 points.
And the remaining 13 points of experience, Dean did not use again, first, the experience points were too small, and second, the remaining skills were not worth his investment.
Retracting his gaze from the character panel, Dean's mind resurfaced with Madel's diary and correspondence with Gossai - it was clear that this unexpected gain left Dean with a lot of effort, not only to easily obtain information on all Gossai's spies in Vaubonshire, but also to directly contact Gossey.
In that diary, such a record is very detailed, which shows that that Mader really did not care about it in order to survive.
Of course, Dean still needs to distinguish between the real and the fake.
That's tonight, though.
As for now?
Dean looked at the young man who was about to end his training in the morning, and shouted straight out, "Siren, Ike! ”
The two young captains, at once, ran out of the queue and ran towards Dean.
"I'll need to inspect the Marquis's reward in a moment, and you two will come with me after breakfast!"
Looking at the two young subordinates, Dean commanded directly.
"Yes, Captain!"
The two young captains shouted loudly, and there was excitement in both of their eyes.
Obviously, being able to go to the bustling downtown is still quite a lot of expectations for them.
After all, except for a small vacation when they first arrived in Vauban City, they had been staying at the residence to train non-stop, especially after the attack on Fort Vauban and Dean's injury, he was strictly forbidden by Huck to leave the residence for a single step.
Therefore, for the bustling lower town of Vauban City, they are still out of the stage of 'glimpse'.
And naturally, Siren and Ike were envied by the other young people, and seeing the two young people laughing and playing around with their peers, Dean smiled slightly and turned away - Dean knew very well how young people got along, and would not reject them.
It's a pity that his identity is undoubtedly unable to intervene.
Even though, his age is appropriate.
……
"Jewel Beauty...... Here, this is it, Captain! ”
Remembering the name of the shop, Siren tilted his head and searched among the many signs in the downtown shopping street, and when he found the sign, he immediately gestured to Dean.
"Hmm!"
Dean looked at the most prosperous location at the corner of the commercial street and nodded subconsciously.
Obviously, the Marquis de Vauban once again manifests his intentions.
Needless to say, this shop alone. On this commercial street. It's worth at least eight or nine hundred Kimptons. If you lease out, the rent of forty or fifty Kimpton a year is absolutely there.
And this amount of Kimpton is enough to maintain the dignity of a lord.
Of course, it can't be like Baron Tyre.
Otherwise, several times more will not be enough.
"You're Dean. Lord Ken Knight? ”
Xi Lun's shouting naturally attracted the attention of the shopkeeper and the guy in the store, and the middle-aged shopkeeper walked out, his eyes glancing slightly at the three of them. It naturally fell on Dean's body, and then, respectfully, asked.
Compared with the immaturity of Siren and Ike, although Dean's face is equally young, his mature and abnormal temperament and sense of not being angry and arrogant make the shopkeeper of the store the most direct choice.
As for the title of the knight lord?
Although the Marquis de Vauban had already released the news that Dean had been knighted.
However, the real knighthood ceremony did not take place, so the title of knight lord is appropriate.
"Lord Knight. I'm Ender, and everybody calls me Old Ender. I have always mentioned that the Marquis takes care of this shop! ”
The middle-aged shopkeeper introduced himself, and at the same time, led Dean and his party into the shop, arranged them in the inner room of the shop, and put the ledger on the table in front of Dean the next moment.
The whole process is neither arrogant nor humble, and it is not deceitful.
Undoubtedly, to be assigned by the Marquis de Vauban is obviously an inevitable merit.
"This is the account book, Lord Marquis specially instructed that this year's income and inventory are all given to you - here, you need to pay special attention, except for me, four fellows, you need to pay five coppers a week, in addition to lodging, eating and drinking!"
Old Ander flipped through the ledger and explained them to Dean one by one.
"What about you? Reluctant to stay? Or did the Marquis give you another job? ”
Dean glanced at the ledger roughly, and after not finding too many mistakes, he raised his head and looked at Old Ander in front of him.
In fact, with the Marquis Vauban presence, Dean did not need to worry about false accounts and mistakes at all—the reputation of the Marquis Old Fox was definitely not given for nothing.
Compared with the ledger, Dean cares more about the manager of the shopkeeper.
After all, he doesn't have anyone around him to do that in the true sense of the word.
Although Huck is competent, he still needs to help him manage the big and small affairs of the Knights, especially the basic training, which is inseparable from the other party.
And after that, the expansion of the Knights, and after he was knighted, the recruitment of the guards also required Huck to be responsible.
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for Huck to stay in Vauban for long.
As for the young man next to him?
These young men selected by Dean are all capable of becoming excellent fighters, and they are going to follow him into battle, and they are placed in a shop, and Dean is reluctant.
And the young people who remained in Tyre?
Although it is possible, the ability aspect is a problem, and it takes a long time to be competent.
Therefore, the most appropriate way is to leave the shopkeeper in front of you.
"The Marquis didn't give me another job, but I need three silver horns for my weekly salary!"
Old Ander shook his head and said so.
Ceren and Ike, who were standing behind Dean, were immediately stunned, and then, as if they had a toothache, they took a cool breath - if there were three silver horns a week, wouldn't it take twelve silver horns for four weeks in a month, which is equivalent to 1.2 Kimptons?
You know, under the repeated rewards of Dean and the young lady of the Baron's family, the two young men only saved two or three Kimptons.
"You're blackmailing!"
Siren, who had a somewhat irritable temper, immediately blurted out.
"So, I didn't say my salary before, and I didn't plan to stay!"
Old Ander did not panic in the slightest at being accused, he looked at the impatient Siren and said with a smile.
"If I give you the same salary, would you be willing to stay?"
Dean waved his hand to stop Syllen's next words, and he asked Old Ender.
Suddenly, Old Ander was stunned.
PS Second Update~
