In the afternoon, it’s normal training. You only need to take a medicated bath once a week, and the dosage will change according to your body’s condition and degree of absorption.
Heaton has not learned swordsmanship for the time being, but is just holding a knife and doing basic training according to what Goszczy said.
In addition to swordsmanship training, there is also the practice of physical skills.
Strength techniques, blocking methods, and physical training are all necessary daily exercises.
Let skills become instinct, that's the goal.
"Bang!"
Gozici stretched out his hand to block Heaton's fist from below and leaned back slightly.
"Your Majesty, the effect of yesterday's medicinal bath seems to be very good, and you can already keep up with my speed."
Even though the punch came from below, Goszczy was still surprised by Heaton's progress.
No one in the hunting team who has trained for at least three years can achieve this level.
"continue!"
Heaton didn't care about the punch he just landed, which is not something to be proud of.
Under the sun, Heaton was shirtless, covered in sweat, and his muscles were shining in the sun.
The daily high-intensity training made him fall in love with this feeling.
Hey! You are an emperor!
Oh, Emperor? A real man should fight hard.
Every time he fights against Goetz, Heaton seems to enter a crazy state.
The kind of venting the pressure deep in the soul through fighting is really addictive.
What can Gozzi do about Heaton's fighting passion?
He only felt that he was getting further and further away from his position.
How can I still have the ambition and pride I had when I just quit the Four Rakshasa Ghosts?
Even though I was not very optimistic about the empire back then, I was loyal to the empire in my heart and shed my blood for the empire.
But now?
The head of the assassination unit became the head of the intelligence team. Every day, informants and spies from all over the empire submitted countless cases.
Gozici could only work overtime with his hair pulled back to read it.
It seems that the only place where my martial arts has no use whatsoever is to train with His Majesty the Emperor.
[Murasame] How many years has it been since you killed someone?
Bloodthirsty demon sword?
I'm so thirsty that I'm dying of thirst.
"Boom!"
There was a muffled sound, and Heaton punched Gozzi in the diaphragm of the stomach and lungs.
"puff."
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, wait a moment!"
Goziqi quickly stretched out his hand to stop Heaton who was still trying to take action.
The punch left him almost breathless.
"Cough cough cough."
After recovering, Gorzi was breathing heavily and coughing constantly.
"What's going on? You're still distracted while fighting me."
Heaton sighed.
"Ahem, I didn't get a good rest last night while reading the intelligence. Your Majesty, please forgive me."
This cough is embarrassing.
Gozzi made an excuse. He couldn't say that he was thinking about his midlife crisis.
"Your Majesty's progress is somewhat unexpected. It's because I was a little careless."
This sentence comes from the bottom of my heart. When I was sparring with Heaton in the past, I always let myself go. Even if my mind wandered, Heaton couldn't do anything about him.
"Okay, I'm going to come here first this time. Let me tell you how things went smoothly for the Lan Interior Minister?"
Heaton didn't care either, he was always tolerant of his own people.
"It's not going well. The murderer is nowhere to be found." Gozi shook his head.
"Leaving the Imperial Capital?"
Heaton took the towel handed by Joanna who ran over, simply wiped the hot sweat on his body, and put on his coat to prevent catching a cold.
I still had a runny nose yesterday.
"I don't know, but I don't think so. The bodies of those children have been identified. Most of them are children from small and wealthy families on the edge of North City."
"A child from a rich family?"
"Yes, not a slum, nor a homeless orphan, but a rich kid with a family."
"No, then why did the poor village of Lan Neiguan become the target of the murderer?"
"Your Majesty, actually I prefer... well-educated children."
Heaton instantly understood that the victims were all clean, tidy, rich, or educated children.
In other words, compared to the naughty and annoying wild children, the children he targets are more well-behaved and well-liked children.
"So I speculate that the murderer came to the Imperial Capital from the outside world. The outside world is not peaceful now, and he wants to satisfy his perverted hobbies and needs. The wealthy area of the Imperial Capital, which is much more stable, is undoubtedly his goal."
"Ha! He is really a pervert, but the social connections of the rich prevent him from attacking these people, so some ordinary families, or families with enough money to protect their children from suffering, have become his targets."
Heaton said disdainfully, completing what Goszczy was going to say next, and then walked straight into the bathroom of the training ground.
Of course you have to wash off the stinky sweat after training.
...
As Goszczy said, things didn't go well for Lan.
When he arrived at Qiyao Forest, he immediately arrived at the scene of the corpse crime.
Seeing this familiar and bloody scene in front of her, Lan was certain that the murderer was the one she knew.
"Interior Affairs Officer Lan, my people have found no other clues."
Nadjeta led her troops to search the surrounding area. Not to mention footprints, signatures and other similar things, even the military dogs could not find their direction.
"I understand. Thank you General Nadjeta for your help, but just leave it to me."
Lanyunajeta is very familiar with it.
Unlike ordinary generals, in addition to training the Guards, Nadjeta also intervened in the government affairs of the empire.
Heaton even asked Nadjeta to help with the tax matters that he was responsible for.
Very capable.
This is Lan's evaluation of Nadjeta.
Nadjeta is a person who does well in whatever she does.
"How about I send a team to you?"
It's not that he doesn't trust Lan's ability, but it's for protection. Although he knows that he has the imperial gear, how powerful can a civil servant be?
"No, I probably already know where the murderer is. I just need to go to the Imperial City Guard and ask them to assist me."
Lan declined Nadjeta's help.
"I hope the general can bury the bodies of these children separately and give their parents some pensions. I promise that the empire will avenge them."
Because the body had just been discovered and the murderer had not been found, the area could only be temporarily blocked by the garrison led by Nadjeta.
The parents of these children may not even know that their children have been brutally murdered.
"This is inevitable, Lan. Such a scumbag will never die a good death."
Nadjeta gritted her teeth. It was unforgivable that she dared to do such a cruel thing to her child. She was very reluctant to hang him up and scratch his skin and cramps.
Her left hand has been holding the [Pumpkin] tightly since she discovered these corpses. Although she is calm on the surface, she is not calm in her heart.
"I will, and I guarantee it in the name of my internal affairs officer."
After saying that, Lan walked out of the blockade, mounted the horse on which he came, and returned to the imperial capital along the same route.
