Before the training ground, Joshua took the letter from Rin's hand, opened it and browsed it roughly.
It's almost always good news.
According to Alfonso, his reputation has spread from the north to the imperial capital, and he is well known by many nobles. As a high-ranking gold man under thirty years old, in the eyes of those nobles and big businessmen, he will definitely be able to do it in the future. After advancing to the ultimate level, you can even try to break into the legendary realm. Because of this, some nobles and forces who took advantage of the old earl's death to try to merge and embezzle the Radcliffe family's property respectfully took over the shops they occupied. and the property was returned, and an apology was sent.
Some shopkeepers who originally supported Joshua's cheap uncle and later tried to seek refuge with other nobles for protection are now almost kneeling on the ground begging for Joshua's forgiveness - they dare not run away, no one will protect them, a future Jiyi warriors are the future army commanders and future generals, people who can guide the direction of a country.
You must know that even the two dukes of the empire, these two great nobles with dukedoms, who are trained with countless resources in each generation may not be able to make their descendants achieve their ultimate goals.
No one would offend a big shot with a promising future for such a small profit.
As Joshua's agent in the Imperial Capital, Alfonso has fully mastered the Radcliffe family's property in the Imperial Capital. Originally, as a small businessman, he had to find connections to participate in the early spring auction. Now, He was actually invited by the host. Of course, he knew that all this was because of the opportunity given to him by Joshua and the reward of his own correct choice, so his words were full of respect.
"good."
After reading it, Joshua nodded with satisfaction, then took back the letter and handed it to Rin: "I hope everything goes well for him and he can buy what I want."
Standing behind Joshua, Rin held an envelope in his hand. He asked curiously: "What does the master want?"
"Some kind of strange object that can summon the monsters of the abyss, but it is hidden very deep and cannot be discovered by ordinary people... We cannot let this kind of thing fall into the hands of other people, so as not to cause disaster." After briefly talking about his goal, Joshua did not Regardless of his own look of confusion, Shenji continued to ask: "How is No. 3 now?"
"Everything is fine. Miss No. 3 is very satisfied with the environment here, but she occasionally complains that the buildings here are not moving, but the maid has already pushed the cart and showed her around."
Rin shrugged. He seemed to know what his master was going to ask next, so he continued: "As for Firefly, I am taking care of your master's horse now... The horse fell asleep again, and it seemed to have a strange change. "
"Did you sleep again..."
Hearing this, Joshua couldn't help but have a headache. Black, as his war horse, has always been very reliable. The last time he attacked the Black Tide, not only did he show no hesitation and fear, but he bravely trampled all kinds of monsters. Although he didn't bring it with him in the recent battle. It, but this horse has indeed been growing, especially after being eroded by the aura of chaos and purified by him several times last time, Hei seemed to have been stimulated to have some bloodline, and he became uncharacteristically docile after that.
After returning from the dwarf gathering area, Hei Geng became extremely quiet, and recently it has developed to the same point as Yingying before, falling asleep from time to time.
"Is it normal to take a nap before advancing?"
After complaining casually, Joshua fell into thinking.
Awakening the blood of war horses is a question often discussed by knights in previous lives. This undoubtedly requires some special materials and potions. Although Joshua does not understand potions and alchemy, as a warrior who often rides horses, I happen to know how to make this magic potion.
Although there are some materials that are more precious, there just happen to be a lot of merchants in his territory recently, so it should be relatively easy to get the raw materials together.
Rin was still giving him a brief report on the situation in the territory. Joshua was listening and occasionally issued a few instructions, while the boy with a magical machine kept them firmly in a small notebook of his and wrote them down carefully. Write and draw.
(Unconsciously, there are more people around me, and work becomes much easier.)
Seeing Rin walking back to Beppu with a small notebook after the report, Joshua smiled and nodded at his back, and then couldn't help but sigh: "That's great, Shenji, whether it's fighting or They are all first-class assistants when handling official duties.”
With the help of Rin and Hotaru, he has now been freed from official duties. For almost a month, Joshua has basically been training himself and training his knights and city guards.
With his current golden peak advancement, the most important thing now is not to improve his fighting spirit or physical strength, but how to control these powers more smoothly.
If he could perfectly master every ounce of power in this body, then the last burst of all the buffs wouldn't put too much of a load on his body.
He is currently level 48. If he wants to reach level 50 and advance to the ultimate level, he needs a lot of experience. Before finding the next source of experience, he has enough time to fully master his powerful power.
Looking at the knights in front of him, these guys who seemed to have potential for improvement in Joshua's eyes were all taught the Steel Armor Breathing Method and the Stone Dragon Breathing Method. One was to increase physical strength and power, and the other was to increase explosive power and endurance. , you can master both, but Joshua doesn’t think these guys’ talents are that good.
And sometimes, the benefits brought by concurrent training may not be as good as specializing in one. When the strength is improved, the endurance will also become better. When the endurance and explosive power are improved, the strength will definitely be enhanced. The two complement each other, and it is indeed better to concentrate on it. Repair a door.
The air in early spring is still very cold, but the more than thirty knights in the training ground are all sweating profusely, and their bodies are soaked with sweat. They are not doing any high-intensity training, but breathing in a strange rhythm on the spot. , with every breath, the air flows in the lung cavity, vibrating their bodies, muscles, and blood vessels, guiding the fighting energy hidden in the body, strengthening the muscles, bones, and internal organs.
"Humans discover the source of magic and fighting energy from the laws of nature, and use it as the root to grow it step by step. Logic and wisdom support human power. Such power is deeply rooted, not rootless duckweed, but Power will also create a new order and maintain the order. Therefore, if you want to break through the limits of the human body and go further, you need to read more, understand the knowledge of this world, and then use it as the source to strengthen your own beliefs. Without beliefs, As the new foundation of strength, the fighting spirit in your body is just stone and coal, unable to burn and emitting stronger power."
Watching them undergo arduous training, Joshua would make a few remarks from time to time. What he said was indeed the truth in this world. Without knowledge, one cannot understand the connotation of the breathing method and the source and origin of fighting spirit. , not to mention the power of glory derived from the soul, more basic, without knowledge, these knights cannot even summarize and correct their own fighting methods, and can only rely on instinct to learn and modify.
Almost all of the people present have never read a book, and they don’t even know the words except their own names. Of course, becoming a warrior does not require education, but if you want to become a powerful warrior, you must understand the world. Reason and order, in order to prevent his subordinates from being illiterate in the future, Joshua specially hired several teachers to teach these warriors, his future team, knowledge.
"Of course, what I said before was all for those who are at the peak of Silver. You guys who haven't even reached the peak of Silver, please give me a good workout first to hone your physical strength. Today, the final training goal is It’s a three-lap run around the main city. Let’s start now! After the run, go back to the training ground and continue the cultural class. You must not miss it!”
After looking at the time and feeling that it was almost the same time, Joshua ended today's breathing method training in the desperate eyes of the knights.
He changed his clothes and prepared to go back to Beppu.
According to the craftsmen, the new Lord's Mansion in the city center will be completed the day after tomorrow. The interior decoration has been completed. Now, only some details are being corrected, such as cleaning the dust and waxing and varnishing the wooden boards.
Back in Beppu, Joshua got another piece of news from the maid.
The fruit of the tree of life has been sent.
