"I'm going to have to pay so much this year that I can't even afford my pants." A Sask farmer was waiting at the door of the warehouse to receive Physalis Blood Fruit seeds.
Boredly, I chatted with Duke who was also waiting.
"We can always save our money. The Black Snake family has a good reputation, so they shouldn't be too harsh on the deductions. After all, we still need everyone's help in planting the Physalis Blood Spirit Fruit." Duke said.
Sask looked around carefully to make sure no one else could hear.
Then he whispered: "That's not necessarily true. You are still young and have never experienced many things. The Black Snake family is not a merciful person."
"What can I say, brother?"
"Hehe... No." Although Sask likes chatting and spanking, he is not very fond of talking to each other, especially when he speaks ill of the Black Snake family behind their backs.
After chatting casually for a while, it was Duke's turn to receive the seed.
After receiving the seeds.
He didn't stay in the town for long, and went back in Levin's tricycle. He had fifty acres of land to plant. This time, he didn't spend money to hire a farming team. Instead, he called in temporary workers and worked from dawn to dusk to plant the seeds one by one.
Sow the seeds.
Different from wheat sowing, these Physalis Xuelingguo seeds are spiritual plants. Each one must ensure the germination rate and must be treated with care.
Of course.
As a farmer, Duke did not do the work himself.
He has a few completely scrapped second-level spirit cards in his hand, which were given to him by Captain Zina, and they are all the kind that cannot be repaired.
Compare these scrapped 2nd ring spirit cards and the 3rd ring spirit card that cannot be repaired.
Duke has been focusing almost all his attention on the study of these scrapped spirit cards for a while. Although he is sure that he still can't fix it, it is not without gain.
In-depth research on the 3-level spell model and the 2-level spell model gave him a lot of inspiration.
Almost every three to five there will be a small epiphany, a deeper understanding of the ring and arcane trajectory.
"Process 1: Field Meditation Method, idle consumption consumes 25% of power. Current Linghai level, 0-ring four-star spiritual apprentice (connected by line), promotion progress is estimated to be 47.3%, time budget is 701 days."
On the process table in the spiritual sea.
The cost of idle "Field Meditation Method" has been further reduced, the progress is almost halfway, and the time budget has been shortened by more than a hundred days.
"If this continues, I should be able to advance to a five-star spiritual apprentice within this year!"
Duke felt very comfortable.
It doesn’t matter if his talent is weak. With the help of Xiaoyi and his own understanding, he is worthy of any genius in spiritual sea cultivation.
……
In the evening when spring has just arrived, the weather is still cold.
"Woof woof!"
The five little ones, which had grown up vigorously, began to bark one after another.
Levin, who was weeding the gaps between the stone bricks, raised his head and saw someone coming. He immediately called out to the five little ones, and then opened the door on the spiritual pressure net.
"Captain Zina."
"It's Levin, is Duke here?"
"The boss is here." Levin immediately led the way for Zina.
In the villa, Duke heard the dog barking and saw who was coming from the window, so he quickly welcomed Zina in.
Aunt Abi was cooking in the kitchen and made a cup of coffee for Zina: "Captain Zina, would you like to eat here tonight?"
"Well, that would be troublesome."
Duke smiled and said: "No trouble." This is his current financial backer.
Aunt Abby returns to the kitchen to cook.
Duke invited Zina into the study on the second floor to discuss matters. The two had no personal relationship. Every time Zina came over, it was for business.
"There aren't many spirit cards this time." Duke said while looking at the damaged spirit cards brought by Zina.
There are only two 2-level arcane cards and six 1-level arcane cards.
Zina shook her head and said: "Many mercenary groups have been dormant recently. The closer you get to Cuihai Valley, the more burrowing army ants you find. They stack up every time you meet, and you can't break their defense at all. There are fewer battles, and the spirit cards are damaged.
Definitely less."
"I see, it seems that everyone is waiting for the acid cantharides to enter."
"Yes, unless the Great Arcane Master takes action, it will be difficult to clear out the burrowing army ants. It is said that the acid cantharides are specifically selected from countless spiritual insects. They are a special species that has been cultivated generation after generation by Gu control scholars. That is
To deal with burrowing army ants."
Among arcane scholars who specialize in the study of spiritual insects, they can obtain the title of Gu Control Scholar after achieving certain achievements.
Duke asked curiously: "Are burrowing army ants widely distributed?"
"Of course it's very wide. Our Broken Sword is mainly active in the Black River Jiao Land. There have been relatively few pioneering wars in the past few years, but we have frequent outdoor expeditions. The most opponents we encounter are burrowing army ants. It is said that most of the area in the Seven Towers Federation has
Traces of the activity of burrowing army ants."
After saying this, Xina suddenly said: "By the way, little Duke, are you interested in joining our Broken Sword mercenary group?"
"Me?"
"Yes, you are a talented person. It is too unqualified to work alone. If you join our Broken Sword, all the business of Broken Sword can be left to you. With our Broken Sword supporting you, you will not be able to do it in Sheshou Town."
I’ll be forced to sell my store again.”
"I'll think about it," Duke said perfunctorily.
Then he asked a slightly embarrassing question: "I remember the leader before Broken Sword was called Delemon?"
Zina nodded and said: "Delaymon is indeed our old captain. Unfortunately, he died in the attack of the beast tide. In the end, I, the deputy captain, took over. But this is also a normal thing. A knight can either join the patrol to
People guard the door, or go out and take risks as mercenaries."
Duke expressed his understanding, and it seemed to him that it was indeed the case.
Those knights either became vassals of the nobles and formed patrols to protect the nobles, or they served in government agencies, following cars, standing guard, maintaining public order, etc.
Knights who do not want to be restrained and want to obtain training resources can only join a mercenary group and ask for it from nature.
"I heard that mercenary groups usually have a sponsor. Do you have Broken Sword as well?"
"Originally, there was." Zina narrowed her eyes, as if remembering something unhappy, "But with the death of Drymon, the sponsor also lost contact. And I don't like this sponsor either.
Take the opportunity to cut it off cleanly."
"Well, no wonder, Captain Zina, you want to join me in the business of refurbishing cards."
"Who doesn't want to make money? We mercenaries fight for our lives in the forests, grasslands, and swamps just for those golden dragons."
"That's true."
"How about it, little Duke, are you coming to Broken Sword? Although we have lost our sponsor, we still have all the personnel, including me, there are five first-level mercenaries. Among the mercenary groups currently coming to Snakehead Town, Broken Sword
The sword can be ranked first."
"How many of you are there?"
"There are more than 100 members in the whole group, and there are 80 combatants. After you join, you don't need to fight, just handle the spirit card business."
Duke still said what he said before: "Well, I will consider it."
He didn't want to join a mercenary group and be managed by others. If that was the case, it would be better to join the Black Snake family as a vassal.
However.
He suddenly laughed again: "Speaking of which, I have a good cooperation with Captain Zina, and I really want to be a sponsor of Broken Sword."
