In the morning, before the sky was fully lit, many apprentices from Shuojian Gym rushed to the martial arts field one after another, yawning.
There are still four and a half months until the district election. Most of the apprentices in Shuojian Gym are planning to sign up. Several old students like Ogden who have failed to participate in the selection for many times will redouble their training during this period, working extremely hard every day. Didn't go to sleep until late at night.
This is also because the training method in martial arts is not based on harming the body and adapting to the intensity of exercise, so it can be practiced for a long time every day.
After a while, Kyle also came out of the house, coughed a few times, and everyone began to practice swordsmanship under his command.
Just like what he said before, Mr. Kyle seems to have become more and more busy recently, and the time of daily instruction has been shortened, but his spirit has become more and more full and vigorous, like a rusty long sword rejuvenated brilliance.
About an hour later, the morning exercise was over, and everyone walked towards the dining hall one after another. All the dining halls of the Sword Talking Hall were purchased and made by a chef hired by Kyle.
Breakfast is two pieces of black bread the size of a fist, and lunch is a piece of pork the size of a baby's palm, plus a bowl of wild vegetables and a piece of bread. The total of breakfast and lunch is four copper coins.
Most civilians only eat breakfast and lunch, and dinner is directly saved.
Fang Xingjian also walked towards the dining hall, and some students beside him took out their own dry food from their pockets, they were reluctant to eat breakfast in the Sword Talking Hall. Fang Xingjian was also reluctant, but it was impossible for him to cook by himself, or go out to eat, the former was too time-consuming, and the latter was more expensive.
Fang Xingjian took two pieces of black bread from the cook. Fang Xingjian chewed them casually. This black bread is mixed with the cortex and germ of wheat that were crushed during the milling process. A sour smell.
Although the food is rough, it is filling, nutritious, and easier to digest. It is the most commonly eaten food for the poor.
Fang Xingjian finished the black bread in his hand in two or three mouthfuls, but he still felt unsatisfied, obviously not full yet. When they are polishing their bodies, they naturally have high requirements for food.
It can be said that if they can eat chicken, duck, fish, vegetables and fruits every day, the effect of their repair can be improved a bit.
But I have no money...
Fang Xingjian looked around, most of the apprentices devoured the bread in their hands, and then showed a feeling that they still couldn't finish it.
An apprentice started to practice at the age of seven or eight, and his daily martial arts practice took up most of the time. It can be said that not only will it not increase a family's income, but it will be a huge burden.
So the apprentices here cherish food very much.
And those descendants of nobles and knights not only practice without any worries every day, get guidance from famous teachers, but also can obtain a lot of nutrition from food, and their physical fitness is much higher than that of ordinary civilian apprentices.
"It would be great if it could be a little more..." Fang Xingjian thought to himself.
At this moment, Vivienne walked to Fang Xingjian's side at some point, holding half a piece of black bread in her hand and said, "Senior Brother Fang, this is too much for me to finish, you can eat it."
Swallowing, Fang Xingjian finally shook his head and said, "No need."
"It's okay." Vivienne laughed, like a ray of warm sunlight shining on Fang Xingjian's chest, she stuffed the black bread into Fang Xingjian's hand and said, "Eat it."
Fang Xingjian knew that he needed to become stronger and take revenge within five years, so he couldn't let go of the slightest possibility of growth. He looked at the black bread in his hand, he hesitated for a moment, the next moment his hunger overcame his self-esteem, and he devoured it all stand up.
At the same time, he said vaguely: "This afternoon, I will guide you in mountain eagle swordsmanship."
Vivienne's eyes lit up: "Thank you, thank you, brother."
Fang Xingjian didn't say much, but just thought in his heart: "Although I spend the night in the bridge hole every day, the rest of the money is almost spent on food alone. It's time to find a way to make money."
But here he was still thinking about how to make money, but suddenly bursts of noise came from the martial arts training ground over there.
I saw a blond boy standing in front of Mr. Kyle. The boy had sword eyebrows and starry eyes. His brilliant blond hair shone brightly in the sun. His handsome face and delicate flannel clothes made him the perfect figure for everyone. The prince charming in the eyes of the female apprentice, and the silver-plated long sword on the waist is even more irritating, making the eyes of a commoner boy red.
However, compared to the eye-catching blond boy, what attracts more attention is a burly man standing beside him, talking to Kyle. The man has the same black hair, black eyes and yellow skin as Fang Xingjian. The so-called Westerners in this world are not the original race of the empire.
However, Westerners are not uncommon in the empire. Compared with his appearance, what people pay more attention to is the azure blue dress on him.
"Is it a knight dress?" a student whispered.
The so-called knight costumes are made of three kinds of tyrannical and ferocious animal materials: dragon bird feathers, fire lin tendons, and beluga lin. Each set of knight costumes is carefully crafted by the national armory. Become a knight to get one.
And every knight dress has the ability to avoid fire and arrows. It is as light as a feather but invulnerable to swords and guns. It can be called the ultimate protective treasure and has become a family heirloom of many families. Even if anyone wearing it except the knight will be sentenced to death, is also like this.
Just because of the identity represented by this dress—a knight. Every year, they jump out of the regional elections in various regions, and the top ten selected from thousands of people are the real pride of heaven.
Looking at the knight in front of him, or the knight dress on the opponent's body, the eyes of many apprentices present flashed a trace of scorching color.
The second senior brother Lambert clenched his fists and said to himself, "This time, I must pass the district election and become a knight."
"Knight." Eldest brother Ogden gritted his teeth, and became more determined in his heart: "I must become a knight. As long as I become a knight, I will be exempted from military service and tax, and I will have land, and my elder brother will no longer have to be a bachelor. Mom and Dad I won’t sell my little sister either…”
Become a knight, exempt from military service and taxes, and the state rewards land. From then on, you can concentrate on practicing martial arts without being distracted by daily chores. What's more serious is that knights break the law and need to be judged by the Royal Knights Association. Ordinary officials don't even have the right to judge.
Fang Xingjian looked at the knight in front of him, but what he thought of was not the superiority of his status: "This guy, have you changed?"
Unlike the soldiers in the magic city who changed jobs through magic patterns, Fang Xingjian had already figured out how humans in this world changed jobs during this period of time.
It is also level 9, 19, and 29 that reach the bottleneck. Reading, studying, exercising, and killing monsters can no longer gain any experience.
At this time, only by entering the secret realm can you break through the bottleneck and change jobs.
