Chapter 5 Troubadour
The difference is that this time Richard did not drag the slider to 278 on the far right.
Instead, it was fine-tuned to 100, which is more than one-third of the way to the slider, and it stopped.
At this time, Richard continued to choose "Yes!"
In an instant, Richard, who was in the soul state, came to the dream space with familiarity, and possessed a figure who kept practicing Clavel's breathing method. Every time he performed the second
posture, Richard kept gaining new insights. Some postures that were not standard enough were adjusted one by one. After an unknown amount of time,
Richard's body shook slightly, and he finally came back to his senses. .
I read the panel silently in my mind, and saw that the content in the brackets of Clavell's Breathing Method had changed from: (Basic 53%) to (Skilled 2%).
Immediately, Richard started practicing breathing techniques in the room again, but this time, he chose "No" and did not use the golden finger.
After completing a complete set of breathing movements, Richard was sweating profusely, and drops of turbid sweat were secreted from the pores all over his body.
"Not bad!" Richard thought to himself, "After the breathing method has been upgraded to a proficient level, the whole set of movements is much smoother. The effect of doing it once is much better than the previous rough level." Suddenly, Richard felt the heart in his chest
. The powerful pump sent out a stream of heat that circulated to his limbs and bones, making his whole body feel like he was soaking in a hot spring.
And the fatigue from the battle just now was completely gone, and I just felt like I couldn't use up all my strength.
After a while, the heat gradually dissipated in the body.
When Richard called up the panel again, he found that there were subtle changes in the attributes column in the panel.
[Name]: Richard Clavell
[Attributes]: Strength 2.1, Agility 2.4, Constitution 2.2, Spirit 3.8
[Skills]: Clavel Breathing Technique (Proficient 2%), Conel Swordsmanship (Basic 62%), Crossbow (Proficient 2%)
[Energy Points]: 178
It seems that the newly improved Breathing Technique allowed him to break through There is a certain barrier in the body, and now, all of his attributes have been improved.
This made Richard very excited!
Unfortunately, breathing methods generally cannot be used more than twice a day.
If you practice too much, it will overdraw your potential and damage your body.
He clearly remembered that before the breathing method was improved, his power was only 1.9, but now his power has become 2.1, and other attributes have also been improved more or less.
This shows that after the level of breathing method is improved, every operation will improve his physical quality in all aspects.
But after the heat flow passed, I suddenly felt a strong feeling of hunger in my stomach, like the feeling of being able to eat a cow on the spot after not eating for three days.
Richard immediately called Serena and asked her to notify the kitchen to cook him something to eat, and specifically emphasized that more meat should be added.
When she heard that Richard wanted to eat so much, Serena's eyes widened, her lips pursed twice, and she said, "Master Richard, eating so much food at night is not good for your health." "Go quickly
, Master, I'm hungry!" Richard, who was in a good mood, gently pinched the maid's baby face.
Serena was immediately ashamed and did not dare to persuade her any more. She held up her skirt and hurried downstairs.
After eating three people's worth of food, Richard felt a little full. He touched his belly and felt much more comfortable.
He was already feeling sleepy when he thought that he still had 178 points of energy, and it seemed that his swordsmanship would soon be improved to a proficient level. The current display was (rough 62%).
So I immediately decided to practice swordsmanship.
Taking off the knight's long sword hanging on the wall, Richard began to practice according to the thirteen movements of Cornell's swordsmanship in his memory.
In the first position, step and chop on the right side.
In the second pose, step up to the left side.
Sure enough, my own practice quickly triggered inspiration.
This time, Richard dragged the slider to the 78 position. He planned to leave 100 points of energy in case of emergency.
Richard entered the dream space again, this time possessed by a figure who was practicing Kenel's swordsmanship.
Richard carefully figured out the key points of each action such as downward slashing, upward lifting, thrusting, and horizontal slashing, as well as details such as how the steps should be coordinated with the sword moves.
This dream-like process of practicing swordsmanship lasted for an unknown amount of time.
When Richard came to his senses, the level of Cornell's swordsmanship was already displayed on the panel as (Proficiency 8%).
Seeing that the three skills had been improved, Richard suddenly showed a satisfied smile on his face. After taking a bath, he fell into a deep sleep and had a dreamless night.
Early the next morning, Richard was awakened by the first ray of sunshine outside the window. After eating the breakfast that Serena sent upstairs, he headed to the training ground refreshed.
But before Richard could reach the training ground, when he passed by the inner castle garden, he met a meticulously dressed old man wearing a tuxedo and a white shirt.
The old man's name is Paddy, an old butler of the Clavell family. He has served the family for two generations of barons and is loyal.
"Second Young Master, please go to the study for a chat." Old Paddy said respectfully.
"Okay, brother is already here, right?" Richard asked casually, presumably discussing what happened last night.
"Yes, in addition to the eldest young master, there is also the Sheriff of Silverpine Town, Knight Rollins. There is also a guest accompanying him, who should be a bard." Old Paddy added.
"Trouble?" Richard couldn't help being surprised. He had always heard of troubadours.
Many of the books he read before were troubadours telling stories about their travels.
Hearing that the bard was there, Richard was very interested and couldn't help but quicken his pace.
After a while, he came to the baron's study.
Sure enough, as the old butler said, in addition to his father, brother and Knight Rollins, there was also an old man in gray robes who was also in the house.
When Richard walked in, the old man glanced at Richard. When his eyes met, Richard felt that the other person's eyes were as deep and intoxicating as the sea, but Richard quickly came back to his senses.
"Hey!" The old man's face was slightly shocked, as if he was surprised by Richard's performance.
"Father, brother, Knight Rollins." Richard said with a salute.
"Richard, this is the bard who came to Silverpine Town to investigate the monster incident, Mr. Stefano, who was invited by Earl Harris." "
Dear Mr. Stefano, it is a great honor to meet you!" Politeness A little, there is no harm in it. Richard has always been strict with himself regarding etiquette.
"Second young master of the Clavell family, I am very happy to see you!" The voice of the old man in gray robe was low and magnetic, which seemed to make people feel good about him involuntarily.
"Now that everyone is here, Mr. Stefano, let's take a look at the remains of some monsters.
At the same time, I would also like to trouble you to identify what kind of monsters they are."
The baron stood up and invited the old man to go first.
"Of course, this is also the main purpose of my visit this time." The old man in gray robe stood up and said with a smile.
While everyone was chatting and laughing, they moved to the tightly sealed basement of the castle.
When Stefano, the old man in gray robe, saw the original four-meter-long remains, his face suddenly showed an expression of surprise.
"My Lord Baron, I would like to ask you, can you briefly tell me how you killed this monster?
I really can't believe that without the intervention of extraordinary power, just with the bravery of you and your soldiers, Killed the tree demon."
After the baron described the killing situation in detail, Stefano nodded, showing a true expression, and said: "It's no wonder, if there were wizard apprentices at that time Or maybe it would be nice if the witcher was there.
Your captain of the guard will not be sacrificed. The dryad has a special ability that is parasitism.
However, the parasitized target must have obvious wounds on its body.
Apparently at that time, your captain's wound was already infected with the seeds sown by the tree demon.
Therefore, not long after you returned to the castle, he mutated into a parasitic dryad.
The mutations of the other three injured soldiers were also due to this reason.
"Wizard's apprentice? " Witcher? "When he heard these words, Richard's attention was deeply attracted.
