Regardless of any universe, there is always a limit for all creatures to grow to their peak, and this is the limit of race!
Just like in the previous life, ordinary people would never be stronger than an elephant, run faster than a leopard, or see farther than an eagle. This is limited by the rules, and unless it is extraordinary, it cannot be changed!
The current Wu Ming, through his brilliant insights, has trained William's body to the peak that ordinary people can achieve.
Strength, speed, and recovery ability are all unparalleled. Even wearing armor, he can pretend to be a knight, but there is one thing, that is, he is not yet extraordinary!
Thakur in front of him, although his strength is not far behind him, has already obtained the seed of extraordinary power, breaking through the restrictions of race!
Based on this alone, he is very valuable for research!
"skin… "
Wu Ming was doing treatment with compassion on his face, but in fact his eyes were blinking rapidly, and a large amount of data was collected: "It is relatively tough, and it seems to have been strengthened to a certain extent. Could it be the effect of the knight's holy oil?"
"The muscular body is extremely muscular, it is a strengthened big head, and it has broken the limits of ordinary people..."
"Bones are strong, like steel... No tendons, aura, etc... Could it be pure physical ability?"
He saw the wound on Thakur's back waist. It was only the size of a little finger, and it didn't penetrate deeply into the flesh, but it was surrounded by purple, obviously poisoned.
'This Thakur's strength and physique are really amazing...'
Wu Ming clearly remembered the strength of the previous village. He was able to train the swordsman and female archer. Obviously, the leader is also a strong guy.
And even that kind of guy was beheaded by Thakur. Unfortunately, at that time, he paid attention to his own battlefield and didn't pay much attention to Thakur's strength.
Thakur, who did this feat, was shot with a cold arrow, poisoned, and finally besieged by a large number of ogres, and was captured by mistake.
Even, his strong physique has begun to heal itself. It's not because those cunning ogres have poured too many devil flowers into him, maybe he can break through by himself!
Wu Ming was thinking silently in his heart, and Thakur's face changed a little with that expression.
He is a man with a normal orientation!
How does it feel to see another man's eyes staring at his body with radiant light
Thakur was almost creepy anyway.
"Listen... listen! William!"
He immediately said: "I am very grateful to you for saving me. As long as you send me back to Nia Town safely, I guarantee that what you will get will exceed your imagination..."
Under the looming crisis, his tongue seemed to regain its flexibility in an instant, especially emphasizing the word "Enron".
"My lord, I am not the only one who rescued you, as well as Andrew, Broken Tooth Henry, and the big Gail and Heim... It's a pity that the latter two have already died at the hands of the ogre..."
Wu Ming withdrew his gaze and said in a sad tone.
Thakur did not have the slightest doubt.
In his opinion, with the strength of a five-member team, it is a miracle that he can be rescued from the ogre team! It is quite normal to lose one or two people.
"They will be rewarded!"
Thakur looked at Wu Ming: "My promise will not change!"
He deliberately concealed a piece of news, that is, on the premise of obtaining enough food and clean water, it only takes half a day for him to recover a certain degree of mobility, and his safety is even more guaranteed.
But this is his last hole card, so naturally he won't tell William.
"Thank you, my lord. Even if I risk my life, I will send you to Nia Town safely!"
Wu Ming reassured again, but rolled his eyes in his heart: "In another day and night, you can almost recover 70% to 80% of your combat power, right?" Even if it only takes six hours, you can move... Are you guarding against me? ! '
Of course, there are some things that are better not to be spoken to each other, so he pretended not to know.
Then, taking the opportunity of taking care of Thakur, he immediately asked about knights and other supernatural beings.
In any case, Thakur is an official knight lord, he is also considered a half-noble, and he has great power. The information he knows is much more reliable than the bard, which makes Wu Ming very valuable. Feel.
…
Two days later, the town of Nia.
"finally reached!"
Thakur and Wu Ming breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the town wall and the watchtower.
Because of Thakur's recovery later, plus two people and a horse, he moved faster than when the large group of people went forward.
The two of them rested for half a day, and in fact, it only took a day and a half to return here.
"It's Lord Thakur!"
In the distance, a wave of soldiers cheered when they saw Thakur.
Wu Ming noticed that a lot of people had increased on the city walls and watchtowers. Obviously, he had heard the news from the front, and he was afraid that the ogre would take advantage of the chaos and come to sneak attack.
"I am Thakur, open the gate!"
Thakur slightly recovered his previous temperament, and looked at Wu Ming: "Dear William, I owe you my life, what do you want in return?"
After getting along for this period of time, he also knew that he had wrongly blamed William before, and the other party obviously didn't have that kind of hobby.
Looking at William at this time, he felt that the other party was brave and resourceful, and his martial arts skills were quite good, a little better than his former attendant, so he intended to recruit Wu Ming as his new attendant.
After all, his former two knight attendants had died on the battlefield, and even their corpses had entered the stomach of the ogre.
Thinking of this made his heart ache.
It's not about those two attendants, but about my ancestral armor!
That's a property worth less than half the manor, a family heirloom! Now it's all taken by the ogre, and dismantled into so many parts.
Even if he goes out again to wipe out that ogre tribe, he may not be able to get a complete one.
"If possible, I hope to be a freeman!"
Wu Ming showed a slightly excited look on his face, and said in a deep voice.
Thakur was startled, then nodded immediately: "It's better to get the status of a free citizen first, leave it to me!"
Compared with the retinue, the identity of this freeman is not easy, but it is still a little lighter in return, but for Wu Ming, he still needs this most.
After all, the former William, as the subject of Baron Terry, had a semi-subordinate relationship with the baron.
This not only limited his possibility of serving other lords, but also made William have to bring his own dry food every year to serve the lord for a period of time as labor and military service.
But the free folk are different.
They have quite a lot of autonomy, more similar to the guests living in the territory, they can leave at any time, and the certificates of free people they bring allow them to settle in any town in the Fengying Plain without being questioned by the guards.
Of course, there is no need to be exploited by tax officials in various names, and you can freely choose to serve and serve as an official.
If you insist on classifying people, the free people are undoubtedly standing at the upper level of the small town of Niah, only below the knights. Even if the instructor Lorian, the tax collector Feder, and the sheriff are still no more than free people people only.
Ordinary people have reached this step, which is equivalent to encountering the ceiling.
If one wants to become a nobleman, even if he is only a semi-noble knight, he still needs chance and luck.
Squeak!
There was a commotion on the city wall. After waiting for a while, the two gates opened slowly, and a group of people surrounded a nobleman to welcome him out.
"My lord!"
Thakur immediately got down and half-kneeled to salute the knight.
"Oh! Dear Thakur, it's very kind of you!"
It was Baron Terry, just as William remembered, in his thirties, wearing a bright dress with silk embroidered with gold thread lace, a wig on his head, a lot of makeup on his face, and even a little closer , A strong and gaudy perfume smell hit the nostrils, causing Wu Ming to frown secretly.
Baron Terry helped Thakur up himself: "I heard that you were besieged by savages, it really worries me!"
Obviously, he wasn't an idiot either. He deliberately replaced some sensitive words such as 'captive'. As a knight, being captured by barbarians was a dishonorable expression.
"That's right... I was seriously injured during the siege, thanks to the militia captain William, he rescued me!"
Thakur pointed at Wu Ming.
"Honorable Lord Baron!"
Wu Ming took half a step forward, pretending to be trembling, and saluted respectfully.
"Well, good! Is your name William? You'll be rewarded!"
Baron Terry obviously didn't remember this little soldier under him, so he said something casually, and took Thakur's hand again, and the two walked into the gate together: "Thakur, it is a gift from the gods that you can come back, poor Mrs. Sally almost passed out after hearing the news... But now, her husband is back intact, and to celebrate, let's start the banquet!"
Wu Ming followed behind humbly, and vaguely felt a look of surprise and astonishment coming from him.
He followed his gaze back, and immediately saw the somewhat evasive tax official Fei De, who couldn't help but smile, revealing eight teeth as white as jade...
Wu Ming once again stepped into the lord's mansion.
In the middle of the hall, a large number of male servants and maidservants were busy, spreading out the white tablecloth, lighting the candles on the silver candle stand, and roasting the fragrant suckling pig, the golden roasted chicken dripping with oil, and the large pieces. White bread and wine like water are delivered to the table.
Of course, Wu Ming is not qualified to enter the banquet hall.
After all, poor William is just an ordinary tenant farmer, or a mercenary captain, what is it to a group of adults and distinguished ladies
But he is also a hero after all, with a little preferential treatment, he can get a piece of white bread, two roast chickens, and a bottle of wine in the back kitchen.
After eating and drinking enough, Wu Ming had no intention of continuing to entangle with these adults, and went out of the mansion directly and returned to his cabin.
