Chapter 25 Ice Swordsmanship Level 3
A few days later, a solemn funeral was held at Saltine Manor as usual.
Since more people died this time, Luomo specially expanded a piece of land next to the original cemetery.
He named this cemetery the Rest of Glory.
All those who died fighting for Sardin Manor will be buried in this cemetery. His family will receive generous pensions.
Without violating the rules set by Lomo, Lomo promised to support them for the rest of his life.
It doesn't actually take much to raise a few people these days. After all, they will continue to work for the manor.
Craftsmen also made new medals to reward knights and militiamen who participated in the war.
Lomo was very pleased with the performance of these men.
In this battle, almost no one was timid, and they all showed great courage.
Recalling the last time the gnolls invaded, at least half of the people fled the manor. During the two invasions, the bankers' performance formed a sharp contrast.
It seems that changes in the external environment can affect a group to a great extent.
Looking back on the history of the previous life, all the Huaixi generals in the Ming Dynasty were gods of war, as well as those Jiangxi scholars who accounted for half of the imperial examinations.
It's not because the people in this place are necessarily better than other places, but because they encountered an environment and soil suitable for growth.
Lomo believed that as long as he provided appropriate incentives and promotion systems, he could cultivate a knighthood that was good at fighting.
Due to the good harvest this time, Lomo gave each combatant a one-time reward of two gold coins.
Those who performed outstandingly received four gold coins. Among them were Nicholas, who commanded the archers, and Vincent, who led the militia to guard the gates.
In this world, some great lords will give rewards based on the number of enemy heads killed. But Lomo didn't do that.
His idea is to provide group rewards based on whether strategic goals are achieved. This will increase the coordination and cohesion of a unit.
The specific system will be gradually improved, but the general idea must be formulated first.
After the funeral ceremony, the manor held a grand celebration banquet again.
Luo Mo took out a lot of food for them to make, and there was no shortage of food in the warehouse anyway.
At the celebration banquet, the knight captain Qiao Si came to Vincent with ale wine.
Vincent now only has one right arm left. He took the barbecue and feasted. When he saw Qiao Si looking at him with a strange expression, he asked with some confusion: "What for?"
Qiao Si took out two gold coins from his arms. , put it on the table, and said softly: "You saved my life, my reward is now yours."
"Will your wife agree?" Vincent asked.
Qiao Si seemed to be insulted and immediately said: "It doesn't matter whether she agrees or not. I have the final say in our family."
Vincent picked up the gold coin, put it into Qiao Si's hand again and said: "I don't want it, the lord has already given it to me." I got the reward I deserved. To be honest, I didn't think about saving you at the time, it was just an instinctive reaction."
Qiao Si moved his mouth, wanting to say thank you, but he couldn't say it, so he turned around and left angrily.
Vincent suddenly said loudly from behind: "Even if I have one arm left, I will still continue on the road of knighthood. Sooner or later, I will take your identity as knight captain." When
Qiao Si heard this, for some reason, his heart became less so. Feeling uncomfortable, he turned his head and shouted back: "Then I won't let you!"
After the celebration banquet, Luo Mo wasted no time and immediately organized people to start land reclamation work. The knights also invested in arduous training.
In the secret room that day, Luo Mo once again opened his professional panel:
[Magic Knight Level: Apprentice (to be broken through)]
[Blood Sacrifice Contract: Green Frost Sword]
[Elemental Magic: 3 (Water Attribute)]
[Magic Remaining: 21 %]
[Skills]
[Ice Swordsmanship: Level 3 (2/5000)]
[Frost Impact: Level 2 (895/2000)]
Ice Swordsmanship has finally reached Level 3!
He lifted the Qingshuang sword and waved it gently twice. A layer of white mist rose from the sword, and the temperature in the room suddenly dropped sharply.
The third level of ice swordsmanship seems to be a qualitative change. In the past, he needed to touch the entity with his sword, and then guide the power of magic to act on the object.
But now, even if you don't touch the entity, a layer of white frost will appear around it.
The sword seems to form a magical force field, and anyone close to this force field will be affected by the cold effect.
In other words, in actual combat, even if it does not cause substantial damage to the opponent, the opponent will have the effect of being blocked and stiff.
Moreover, this effect does not require casting forward like Frost Shock, and can be triggered all the time.
This is an extremely useful passive skill!
Luo Mo was secretly surprised that his actual combat ability had been qualitatively improved. If he meets the jackal leader from last time again, he will never allow him to carry out so many attacks calmly.
Unfortunately, these days, the magic value has been stable at 3 and cannot be improved any further.
It seems that this should be the limit of the magic that Qingshuang Great Sword can give him.
As for alchemy, due to the lack of materials, there has been no improvement recently.
Romo cannot yet use the magic materials seized from the gnolls. The herbs that can be used have also been used up. It is winter now, and almost all the herbs near the dense forest have been picked by Luo Mo.
He was just thinking about whether to venture into the depths of the jungle to try his luck, when Old Barron's voice suddenly sounded outside the door: "Master, someone knocked on the door again." "
Huh?"
Luo Mo was taken aback and went out immediately. Check.
Outside the newly built gate of the manor, Qiao Si and other knights were gathering there. Many women from the manor were also watching.
"The lord is coming."
Someone shouted, and everyone immediately dispersed to make way for Luo Mo.
Romo walked out of the door and saw three war horses standing outside the door, with the reins held by Nicholas and others.
In front of the horses' hooves, three knights in armor had their hands and feet bound and were forced to kneel on the ground. They lowered their heads, looking dejected. Two of them still had injuries on their faces.
"What's going on?" Luo Mo asked.
Nicholas said proudly: "These three knights wanted to come to the manor to grab food, but they were besieged by us and fell down in a few blows."
Barron explained from the side: "Master, they are all existing members of Hansen Manor . Knight. The Hansen Manor was robbed by jackals more than a month ago. The food was gone and many people were killed. The remaining people had no food and clothing, and they actually targeted our Saldin Manor. .”
When Luo Mo heard this, he immediately recalled it. When they came last time, they looked arrogant, but they didn't expect that they would be dealt with by their subordinates without taking action.
"How many people are there in Hansen Manor now?" Luo Mo asked.
A knight with a wounded face raised his head and glanced at Luo Mo. He immediately lowered his head and replied with a low eyebrow: "There are only three of us knights now, and there are only a dozen serfs left. Sir, please let us go back." Well, we will all be neighbors from now on, and we will never dare to offend you again."
"Let you go back?" Luo Mo sneered and said, "Your Hansen Manor still owes me a lot of things!" "
Eight tons of wheat. 10 tons of potatoes, 2 tons of ironware, 50 gold coins." Old Barron said immediately.
When the knight heard this, he immediately became anxious and said hurriedly: "When Baron Hansen came last time, he only borrowed 8 tons of wheat. Moreover, it was borrowed by the Hansen family and has nothing to do with us." Luo
Mohaha He smiled and said: "It has nothing to do with you, but it has something to do with Hansen Manor. You all get out of here, I will take over Hansen Manor." When the knight heard this, he was a little stunned at first, and then he used a
vicious He stared at Luo Mo, obviously feeling extremely unwilling.
Luo Mo ignored the knight and turned around to wave to Qiao Si.
Qiao Si quickly came forward, and Luo Mo whispered to him: "Take these three people to the eastern jungle and kill them, leaving the horses. Remember, you must be secretive when killing people." "Yes."
Qiao Si He immediately responded in a low voice.
After saying this, Luo Mo waved his hand to signal the crowd to disperse, then turned and left.
To kill a Baron Hanson, Lomo would also consider his noble status. But what these three knights said, Luo Mo didn't take them seriously at all.
He has clearly realized that in the remote north of the kingdom, the law is only a tool to restrict small lords and civilians, and there is no deterrent at all.
The three knights were dead, not even worthy of a trip from the town hall constable.
When the Volo River thaws in a while, he will formally visit the city hall of Volo City with the IOU and potion, and legally take over the Hansen Manor.
