Chapter 78 Broken Sword Mercenary Group
"I'm going to have to pay so much this year that I can't even wear my pants anymore." A Sask farmer was waiting at the door of the warehouse to receive Physalis Blood Spirit Fruit seeds.
Boredly, he chatted with Duke who was also waiting.
"We can always save our money. The Black Snake family has a good reputation, so they shouldn't take too much advantage. After all, we still need everyone's help in planting the Physalis Blood Spirit Fruit." Duke said.
Sask looked around carefully to make sure no one else could hear.
Then he whispered: "That's not necessarily the case. You are still young and have never experienced many things. The Black Snake family is not a merciful person." "
What can I say?"
"Hehe... No." Sask. Although he likes to chat and spank, he doesn't like to talk casually, especially when he speaks ill of the Black Snake family behind their backs.
After chatting casually for a while, it was Duke's turn to receive the seed.
After receiving the seeds.
He didn't stay in the town for long, and went back in Levin's tricycle. He had fifty acres of land to plant. This time, he didn't spend money to hire a farming team. Instead, he called in temporary workers and worked from dawn to dusk to plant the seeds one by one. Sow the seeds.
Different from wheat sowing, these Physalis Blood Spirit Fruit seeds are spiritual plants. Each one must ensure the germination rate and must be treated with care.
certainly.
As a farmer, Duke did not do the work himself.
He had a few completely scrapped second-level spirit cards in his hand. They were given to him by Captain Xina, and they were all the kind that couldn't be repaired.
Compare these scrapped 2nd ring spirit cards with the 3rd ring spirit card that cannot be repaired.
Duke has been focusing almost entirely on the study of these scrapped spirit cards for a while. Although he is sure that he still can't repair them, it is not without gain.
In-depth research on the 3-level spell model and the 2-level spell model gave him a lot of inspiration.
Almost every three to five there will be a small epiphany, a deeper understanding of the ring and arcane trajectory.
"Process 1: Field Meditation Method, idle consumption consumes 25% of power. The current Linghai level is 0-ring four-star spiritual apprentice (connected by line), the advancement progress is estimated to be 47.3%, and the time budget is 701 days." The process table in Linghai
.
The cost of idle "Field Meditation Method" has been further reduced, the progress is almost halfway, and the time budget has been shortened by more than a hundred days.
"If this continues, I should be able to advance to a five-star spiritual apprentice within this year!"
Duke felt very satisfied.
It doesn't matter if his talent is weak. With the help of Xiaoyi and his own understanding, he is worthy of any genius in spiritual sea cultivation.
…
It’s the evening when spring has just arrived, and the weather is still cold.
"Woof woof!"
The five little ones, which had grown up vigorously, began to bark one after another.
Levin, who was weeding the gaps between the stone bricks, raised his head and saw someone coming. He immediately called out to the five little ones, and then opened the door on the spiritual pressure net.
"Captain Zina."
"It's Levin. Is Duke here?"
"The boss is here." Levin immediately led the way for Zina.
In the villa, Duke heard the dog barking and saw who was coming from the window, so he quickly welcomed Zina in.
Aunt Abi was cooking in the kitchen and made a cup of coffee for Zina: "Commander Zina, would you like to eat here tonight?" "Well,
that would be troublesome."
Duke smiled and said, "No trouble." This is his current sponsor.
Aunt Abby returned to the kitchen to cook.
Duke invited Zina into the study on the second floor to discuss matters. The two had no personal relationship. Every time Zina came over, it was for business.
"There aren't many spirit cards this time." Duke said as he looked at the damaged spirit cards brought by Xina.
There are only two 2-level arcane cards and six 1-level arcane cards.
Zina shook her head and said: "Many mercenary groups have been dormant recently. The closer you get to Cuihai Valley, the more burrowing army ants you find. They stack up every time you meet, and you can't break their defense at all. There are fewer battles, and the spirit cards are damaged. There must be less."
"I see, it seems that everyone is waiting for the acid cantharis to enter the scene." "
Yes, unless the great arcane mage takes action, it will be difficult to clear out the burrowing army ants. It is said that the acid cantharis specializes in collecting from countless spirits. A special variety selected from insects and cultivated by Gu control scholars from generation to generation, just to deal with burrowing army ants."
Scholars who specialize in the study of spiritual insects among arcane scholars can obtain certain achievements. The title of Yugu scholar.
Duke asked curiously: "Are the burrowing army ants distributed widely?" "
Of course they are very widespread. Our Broken Sword is mainly active in the Black River Jiao Land. In recent years, there have been relatively few pioneering wars, but we have frequent outdoor expeditions and encountered the most The opponent is the burrowing army ants. It is said that most of the area of the Seven Towers Federation has traces of the activities of the burrowing army ants."
After saying this, Zina suddenly said: "By the way, little Duke, are you interested in joining us? Broken Sword mercenary group?"
"Me?"
"Yes, you are a talented person. It is too incompetent to work alone. If you join our Broken Sword, we can leave all the business of Broken Sword to you. With our Broken Sword I'll support you so that no one will be forced to sell their store again in Sheshou Town."
"I'll consider it," Duke said perfunctorily.
Then she asked a slightly embarrassing question: "I remember the leader before Broken Sword was named Delaimon?
" He died, and I, the deputy captain, finally took over. But this is also normal. A knight either joins the patrol to guard the door, or goes out to take risks as a mercenary." Duke expressed his understanding. In his opinion, it was
indeed in this way.
Those knights either became vassals of the nobles and formed patrols to protect the nobles, or they served in government agencies, following cars, standing guard, maintaining law and order, etc.
Knights who do not want to be restrained and want to obtain training resources can only join a mercenary group and ask for it from nature.
"I heard that mercenary groups usually have a sponsor. Do you also have one in Broken Sword?" "
Originally, there is." The sponsor has lost contact with me. And I don't like this sponsor either, so I'll take the opportunity to cut it off." "
Well, no wonder, Captain Zina, you want to join me in the business of refurbishing cards."
"Who makes money? Don't think so. We mercenaries fight for our lives in the forests, grasslands, and swamps just for those golden dragons." "That's true." "How about it
,
little Duke, are you here to break the sword? We Although we have lost our sponsors, we still have all the personnel, including me, there are five first-level members. Among the mercenary groups currently in Sheshou Town, Broken Sword ranks at the forefront." "How many of you are there?
"
"There are more than 100 people in the whole group, and there are 80 combatants. After you join, you don't need to fight, just handle the spirit card business."
Duke still said what he said before: "Well, I will consider it. ."
He didn't want to join a mercenary group and be managed by others. In this case, it would be better to join the Black Snake family as a vassal.
but.
He suddenly laughed again: "Speaking of which, I have a good cooperation with Captain Zina, and I really want to be the sponsor of Broken Sword."
