Chapter 30 Sparring
The independent yard is quite spacious, and the house is big enough for two people to live there without worrying about affecting each other. Just outside the yard is the beach, which is enough for Alvin and Gary to have fun whether it is for exercise or actual training.
What satisfies Ivan the most is that there is a small independent attic at the top of the house. Opening a small door leads to a balcony full of ivy. It is a quiet place amidst the lush greenery and a different kind of elegance.
He plans to transform this place into his own dispensing room. While he is a trainee knight, Ivan is also an excellent pharmacist. He can prepare many auxiliary medicines by himself.
Moreover, the elderly landlord and his wife live next door with their grandson. They can help take care of the house when they are drifting at sea, so that the house will not be abandoned again.
"Not bad, Gary, what do you think?"
"Hey, hey, I can do it." Gary, who had already made up his mind to live in the house, naturally had no objection.
"Then prepare the contract." Ivan clapped his hands and finally confirmed his residence for the future.
Subsequently, the two parties signed a lease contract with the help of the clerk. According to the rent of one silver bull per month, the two people officially settled down in Gabraide.
The rent of a silver bull is borne by Alvin, while Gary is responsible for selling labor, cleaning the yard, cleaning, and purchasing daily necessities. Each has its own division of labor and does not fully take advantage of Alvin.
According to Ivan's understanding, the current monthly salary of ordinary sailors in the Third Fleet is about three silver oxen, which is equivalent to one gold lion. As a reserve officer, Ivan's monthly salary is five silver oxen. One silver oxen is equal to one hundred copper furs.
, in terms of purchasing power, one copper fur can probably buy two pieces of barley bread as a staple food.
For crew members, they may really have to rely on their monthly salary to survive, and they cannot spend lavishly on living expenses, but officers have a generous spoils distribution system.
The captain gets a quarter, and the officers on the ship allocate a quarter. Of course, the specific operation cannot be so simple and crude, but the officers do have a lot of extra money.
Then again, if there are not enough benefits, how can we attract talents to join the navy and let them work on the dangerous sea?
It is impossible for the Kingdom of Phaletis to become the leading maritime power in the Tulip Alliance in just one generation.
Declining the invitation of the landlord and his wife to have dinner together, the two found a restaurant and ordered a lot of vegetables of all kinds to satisfy their greasy stomachs.
When Gary was in his hometown, he often ate potatoes for a month, and didn't think it was a big deal to have no food. But Alvin was different. He retained the habits of his previous life, and he always tried his best to ensure that his nutrition was balanced.
There is a shortage of fresh vegetables after going to sea. Short-range cruises like the Silver Wing are fine, but if there is a lack of supplies for ocean voyages in the future, this will be a big problem.
Although the physical fitness of humans in this world is generally much stronger than in the previous life due to the influence of mysterious factors, diseases such as scurvy still exist. Due to relatively backward medical conditions, once you get sick at sea, it will be very fatal.
Already.
It can be said that the loss of personnel at sea, especially in ocean voyages, may be more serious than combat casualties caused by disease.
So before returning to his residence, Alvin took another turn and went to the market specifically to find several types of beans that looked most like soybeans and mung beans in his previous life, and ordered a large bag of each.
He planned to go back and try to see if he could grow a dish that was very common in his previous life. If he could succeed, not to mention whether it would benefit sailors, his stomach would also be less tortured.
Moreover, the kingdom has always had a decree to reward the invention of advanced navigation technology. If it can really achieve the expected goal, it may even gain fame and fortune.
Neither of them had friends in this city, and fifteen-year-olds who came from a small place had not had the opportunity to experience the entertainment and entertainment. During the next two days of vacation, they stayed at home and played iron.
The beach next to the house is their ready-made training ground.
Ivan had been able to meet Leopold's breathing methods, weight-bearing, diving, swordsmanship, and most of the training subjects at this venue. Now that the two of them promote each other, the effect is even better.
After a battle with a sea monster and several more sea monster meals, Ivan found that his physical fitness had changed again.
Name: Alvin Garriott
Sex: Male
Military rank: Warrant Officer (belonging to the Silver Wing of the Third Fleet of the Kingdom of Phaletis)
Class: Peak Apprentice Knight
Attributes: Constitution 0.91+0.02
Strength 0.88+0.01
Agility 0.93
Intelligence 0.9
Skills: (omitted)
Physical fitness increased by 0.02, and strength also increased by 0.01.
I had already thought that I had reached the limit, but I didn't expect that after coming out of Leopold and the recruit training period being only more than three months, my progress was no slower than when I was a junior knight trainee.
Is fighting the shortcut to progress as a knight on the path to transcendence?
Ivan felt a little moved and decided to try Uncle Geer when he returned to the ship. Ivan felt that Uncle Geer would not refuse him such a request.
In fact, in addition to Alvin's own outstanding talent, with the help of data-based vision, every exercise can achieve the best results. During his unremitting practice from the age of eight to now, when he is fifteen, his body has improved
A solid enough foundation has been laid.
After leaving Leopold, the several well-timed actual battles he experienced were like a forging hammer, forging Ivan's iron embryo into fine steel bit by bit. This allowed Ivan to make rapid progress during this period.
a feeling of.
In addition, under Ivan's continuous targeted one-on-one guidance, Gary's physical fitness finally exceeded the innate value of 0.7, taking the first step in improving physical fitness through the knight training method.
When it comes to the knight's innate qualifications, Gary may be better than Alvin to some extent.
After all, it’s scary to think of a guy who can reach the late stage of a trainee knight just by growing naturally. It’s a pity that he hasn’t received any guidance since he was a child. If he had the learning conditions of Ivan, he might be a formal knight by now.
After an uneventful vacation, the two returned to the Silver Wing and resumed their cruise mission.
In the meantime, Ivan took the initiative to approach the captain and made a request to receive actual combat training.
As expected, Geer readily agreed. As the captain during non-combat times, Geer was not that busy, and there were no entertainment projects on the ship. It was just right for him to train Ivan.
The training venue was not chosen to be on the deck. After all, even Ivan was already a little superman who had reached the limit of mortals, not to mention Gal, a genuine extraordinary knight. If they were allowed to train on the deck, the destructive power would be too shocking.
The training venue is also easy to deal with.
Several lifeboats were lowered and tied together with ropes, forming a "training ground" enough for the two of them to move around. Even if they made a mistake, no one else would be hurt.
"Aven, use all your means and attack with all your strength." Geer, still wearing a neat and straight military uniform of a school officer, casually holding a long sword in his hand, said calmly while standing on the bow of a lifeboat.
Although he felt a little looked down upon, Alvin knew that Uncle Geer was qualified to say such things, so he did not dare to be careless at all, and silently drew his sword in an aggressive sailing posture.
At this point, there is actually not much difference in the lethality between the training sword and the real sword. In order to let Ai Wen experience enough pressure, Geer directly asked to use the real sword for training.
The gap between the two sides is too big, and he is confident that he can control the situation.
"clang!"
With sparks flying, Aiwen, who took the initiative to attack, was directly knocked away. He turned around in the air and used his feet on a lifeboat to take advantage of the force, and jumped up again in the rising water.
Raise the sword above your head with both hands and perform a powerful "leap slash".
"clang!"
Still, Geer caught him with one hand and knocked him away with his sword.
In fact, Ivan's current attack method is very different from his previous agile swordsmanship style. Because what he wants to improve now is his physical fitness rather than his moves. This head-on fighting method is more conducive to experiencing the use of knight-level strength.
, feel the subtle changes in the physical confrontation.
Geer neither agreed nor denied Ivan's offensive method. He just suppressed his power to the limit of Ivan's endurance and gave him real and powerful feedback.
The rest is for Alvin to experience.
In fact, in the process of attribution of the digital vision to itself, the list finally presented in front of Ivan is only the stabilized result.
During the exercise process, it will feedback the exercise effect at any time. Even if the data to three decimal places cannot be displayed, the changing trend can still be felt by Alvin.
0.93+
0.93+
"It works!" Ivan was secretly happy. In the past, most of the real battles were life and death battles, and he didn't have the energy to pay attention to the subtle changes. Now in this absolutely safe environment, Ivan finally discovered the changes in his physical fitness.
's secret.
My own physical fitness is like constantly filling a wooden barrel with snow. It seems to be full, but in fact, if you press it harder, you can still pack a lot more. This "pressing" action cannot be done by yourself.
To get there, you must use external force, and Uncle Geer is the best place to borrow help.
Aiwen verified his conjecture with the help of digital vision, and let go even more. He strived to compact his bucket of snow to the limit in the shortest possible time. Presumably that time was the moment when he turned into ice and completed his extraordinary transformation!
"ding-ding-ding-ding-ding"
Now is not the time to cherish the sword. Ai Wen's moves are much more straightforward, abandoning all the redundant movements and the elegance of Bai Fan's swordsmanship, leaving only more and more intense head-to-head confrontations!
Even the style of swordsmanship has gradually changed from "White Sail Swordsmanship" to "Phaletian Saber Skills", desperately squeezing his own physical strength and potential.
"Drink"
Bang
Was knocked out.
"Come again!"
"Come again!"
""
In this way, Alvin's fulfilling sailing life began.
I usually still learn sail control and various practical navigation skills on the boat, and when Geer is free, I will pester him for practical training.
Keenly feeling that Alvin has reached a certain critical point now, and that the real internship period is almost here, Geer put down some unimportant work and took time to spend time with Alvin in the "training area" located between square inches.
On the field.
Efforts were made to help him complete the final preparations before his transformation. Ivan's physical fitness and swordsmanship improved rapidly with the help of Geer, the "gold medal sparring partner".
