Another day.
The sun is rising.
On the racecourse, Liszt shouted loudly: "Multiple phantom arrows!"
The six arrows at the front and rear made a violent piercing sound, chasing in the air, colliding with each other in an instant, and then their trajectories were scattered and out of formation.
There were only two arrows, which were inserted into the archery target a hundred meters away.
"Failed." He shook his head, and failed again as a matter of course. His current level of archery is not yet ready to use the profound meaning of "Multiple Arrows" - multiple phantom arrows.
Coupled with the fact that I haven't touched bows and arrows for several days, my level has even faintly regressed a little.
If you sail against the current, you will retreat if you don't advance. The same is true for the cultivation of fighting qi techniques. Fortunately, he is already very proficient in the most basic double arrow part of "Multiple Arrows".
On the battlefield, it is enough for the knights of the earth to be able to use double arrows effectively.
Glancing not far away, Marcus was training the knight squad. Just yesterday, another young player cultivated his fighting spirit and became his subordinate knight. Of the twelve team members, half of them have become trainee knights with primary fighting spirit. Wait for them all to practice fighting spirit.
It's time to set off to clear Thorn Ridge.
"Before this winter, Thorn Ridge must be captured!" Liszt did not disturb Marcus' teaching, handed over the equipment to the retinue knights, and rode back to the castle for a walk.
take a shower.
Get ready for breakfast.
Butler Carter stood aside and reported to him: "Master, the baker in the town, Raynal, and Mrs. Abby have successfully made a new type of bread. Are you going to try it now?"
"Really, the bread is ready, bring it up quickly."
The new-style bread does not look like the expected meat floss bread, but a round steamed bun shape with cracks on the surface, and you can see viscous butter flowing in the cracks.
"What kind of bread is this?"
"It doesn't have a name yet, and I'm waiting for you to name it. Mrs. Abby said that it is made of flour, eggs and cream... and is divided into two parts, the inside and the outside. The outer skin is a little more troublesome to make, but the cracks after baking are very Looks good." Carter explained in detail how to make the new-style bread.
Liszt had already picked one up and took a bite.
Immediately, the aroma of butter mixed with the aroma of bread reverberates between the lips and teeth, stimulating the taste buds to bloom, which is much more delicious than simple white bread.
This smell, this look.
Liszt said directly: "Mr. Carter, tell Mrs. Abby and Raynal, just call it—pineapple bun!"
"Pineapple buns, a very vivid name."
"In the future, I will directly replace white bread with pineapple buns for breakfast, and I don't need to change them for lunch and dinner. Contact Sherlock, the Thorn Caravan and Renal to try it out together, and see if we can sell pineapple buns in North Valley City. "Liszt immediately arranged the sales plan of the pineapple buns.
After thinking for a while, he continued: "In addition, tell Renal and Mrs. Abby that as a reward for inventing a new type of bread, each of them will have one... ten silver coins, and if you have ideas, continue to invent. The more flavors of bread, the better. .”
He wanted to say that each person would be rewarded with a gold coin.
Recently, he has made money selling black pearls, his pockets are bulging, and he is full of pride.
But the reward of a gold coin is the same as the reward for discovering elf worms and cultivating potions, which is too exaggerated. It's just bread to satisfy your appetite, and it's not worth rewarding too much.
So change it to ten silver coins.
Carter leaves.
He tasted the pineapple buns slowly, satisfied that he wasn't being generous: "If you are not in charge, you don't know how expensive food is, and the lord's family doesn't have any surplus food."
slowly.
A faint smoke floated in front of his eyes, twisting and wriggling, forming a snake script.
"Complete the mission and reward the shipwreck treasure."
After a while, the text dissipated, the smoke re-condensed, and a new task was released: "Task: Costo has been very distressed recently. Since he served as the sailing teacher of the knight team, teaching has been difficult. The knight team is dismissive of sailing knowledge. Please correct the boy. their attitude. Reward: mutated thorns."
"The treasure of the shipwreck is finally available... The knight team is unwilling to learn navigation knowledge? It seems that there may be a certain connection between the rewards of the mission and the new mission. Costo is probably the only one who can discover the treasure of the shipwreck." He shook the rattle and shouted The old housekeeper who came and never went far.
"master."
"Send someone to bring Captain Costo here, I have something to ask him."
"Yes, sir."
About half an hour later, Costo came to the castle: "Sorry, my lord, I was snorkeling at the beach, so I was delayed for a while."
"Scuba diving?"
"I am working on my water and underwater fighting abilities. Although I am not a knight, I am still eager to fight."
"How's the knight team studying with you recently?"
"This..." Costo hesitated to speak.
"Just say it."
"Your knights are very unfriendly to the learning of sailing knowledge. They don't even like to learn how to swim, let alone teach them how to sail. They always put 'knights rely on horses, not sailing boats' Talking about it. And, Mr. Marcus, taking up a lot of the knights' time."
Liszt understood instantly.
Marcus, though convinced by him, began to follow allegiances, and understood that the sea could also provide wealth. But he still admired the glory of knights and the charge of horses in his bones, and felt that it was enough for ships to send them to fight on land, and there was no need to learn any sailing knowledge.
So he transmitted the concept to the retinue knights, and also squeezed Costo's teaching time.
For Marcus, Liszt sighed slightly—it is easy to change a person's identity, but it is a bit difficult to change a person's concept.
Fortunately, he can use the majesty of the lord.
Immediately summoned Marcus and the knight squad, and gathered at the gate of the castle.
Liszt began to lecture: "From today, all of you, set aside half a day to learn sailing knowledge from Captain Costo. Within three days, you must learn to swim. If you can't learn it, you will be whipped fifty times; I will check your knowledge about navigation, if you don’t answer one question, you will be punished ten times!”
Boys, stop talking.
Liszt ignored it, and called Marcus into the study: "Mr. Marcus, you should know why I'm looking for you?"
Marcus solemnly said: "My lord, I don't think the knights need to be distracted to learn sailing. We do need to take a boat across the ocean and go to the mainland. Let ordinary sailors control the boat, and our knights concentrate on fighting. The Knights of Coral Island continue to do so. way of fighting."
There is some truth to what he said.
The knights are the army, but Liszt asked them to be the navy, so he was naturally reluctant.
But Liszt has his own thoughts: "How many of these knight squads do you think can become Earth Knights? Or when will they become Earth Knights?"
"I think, before the age of twenty, someone should be able to become a land knight. Philip and Xavier are very talented." Marcus replied.
"Two... I have worked hard to train them, but I can only harvest two earth knights. Then, can they form a knight squad and go to the mainland to fight on the battlefield?"
"Willing to fight to the death for the adults!"
"I accepted the idea, but this is impulsive and stupid behavior. Huahua Town is still developing, and I have bought a large number of serfs. In the future, I will select and train outstanding teenagers. Now, what I need is to master all kinds of serfs. An instructor with a basic ability is not a waste who is proficient in combat."
"what do you mean?"
"Mr. Marcus, some of these members of the knight team will become the backbone of the knight team, and some will steer the ship in the future and transport my knights to the mainland to compete for minerals... Division of labor and cooperation, each performing their duties, I mean, do you understand?"
Liszt's expression was calm, but his eyes were stern.
Marcus took a deep breath, knelt down on one knee, lowered his head, and simply responded: "Marcus misunderstood the will of the Lord and passively resisted the arrangement of the Knights, please punish him!"
