There are only harmonious neighbors, but there is no harmonious neighborhood.
Territory, culture, religion, customs...
Various bizarre reasons can become the trigger for armed conflicts between the two parties. It may even be a dispute between villagers on the border of two territories for water, or it may just be a squabble between two territorial residents.
They wish their neighbors were in bad luck, so why would they kindly take the initiative to inform them.
The most important thing is that there is no basis or evidence. They can't just tell them that a group of Andis people with ulterior motives sneaked into their territory, right?
The result of doing this will only arouse a burst of cynicism. Now the only person who has a tense relationship with the Andis people is the leader of the Manyu Army.
Other military leaders, most of the Andis people have legal status due to the slave liberation movement, and the number is still quite large.
There are only two military leaders who still use Andis slaves in large quantities. One is the Manyu military leader, and the other is his close neighbor Carthus military leader. It has the richest mineral resources in the continent and requires a large amount of cheap labor.
.
Ninety percent of the Andis slaves led by Manyu were sold here as mining slaves. It is said that the number of Andis slaves here exceeds one million. Add in the slaves of other races, and the proportion of mining slaves is as high as
One to three, this is the largest concentration of slaves in the entire continent.
Of course, having legal status does not mean that these Andis people have fully integrated into the Byron Alliance.
There is no shortage of short-sighted people in this world who use race, customs, region, or even accent to distinguish similar people.
Racial discrimination has not been completely eliminated even in the developed countries in Sean's previous life, let alone this conservative and backward country.
It is inevitable for Andis people to be ostracized. Most of them work in professions that others are unwilling to follow. However, such people usually stick together and face the maliciousness from the outside world together.
After sending Chebman away, Ralph's grocery store can basically go out of business.
Normally, there is no need for him to be in charge here. This store is naturally managed by clerks and store managers. Today, I had predicted that Chebman would come to discuss new business, so I came here in person. This is a major event involving their future development direction.
, of course you have to do it yourself.
In fact, this incident not only attracted him, Sean was also waiting for news from him in the back room.
Compared with a year ago, Sean has not changed much, at least there is no obvious change in height.
This situation is really normal. Stimulated by the power of the spell, his body's development speed is obviously two to three years earlier than that of his peers. While others are still in the peak period of development, his has basically completed development.
Thanks to the combination of magical power and his own active training since childhood, Sean's height has been close to the maximum limit of genetic theory. Unless he breaks through the genetic limit, his height will not change much in the future.
His body shape is two times thicker than before, and his whole body is full of muscle outlines. In the past year, he has not slackened on his training, and most of it is strength-related. This is most obvious in his real-time monitoring data.
In the past six training cycles (one training cycle every eight weeks), Sean conducted two extreme training and four intensive training.
Needless to say, intensive training has become a part of daily life for Sean, who has never stopped for a day since he was able to run.
The harvest is just like that. When it is good, there will be an overall improvement of 0.5 points, and when it is bad, it will also be 0.3 points. The luck of these four times is good or not, 0.5 twice, 0.3 once, and 0.4 once, totaling 1.7. Relatively speaking, it is not bad.
.
What is really interesting is the two extreme training sessions.
After two consecutive sets of intensive training, after the three hard indicators basically reached the knight level, Sean started the extreme training as originally planned, which was a real hell-level training.
As mentioned before, Sean's Brand of Fire develops various training plans based on real-time monitoring of his physical condition.
In other words, all training plans are not static. Not only is each group's plan different, but even the daily training volume will be adjusted according to the state of the body.
After all, Sean is in the process of growing up, so it is impossible that the amount of training when he first learned to walk is the same as the amount of training as an adult.
The extreme limit of extreme training is not just a boast, but is actually aimed at squeezing one's physical strength, endurance, and perseverance. The amount of high-intensity exercise is more than eight hours a day, and every ounce of strength in the body is squeezed out. Many times
Sean fell asleep in the medicine bath and had no energy to deal with other things.
Fortunately, he had an experience. Before starting the extreme training, Sean made corresponding arrangements, and their development was already on the right track. He did a good job in decentralizing power from the beginning and only focused on the most critical things.
At this point, the rest of the work is left to others. He only needs to give final review and supervision. The daily workload does not even take half an hour, and there are even fewer things that require him to do it personally.
This is not a very clever method. Any boss who has run a physical enterprise will know something about it.
In his previous life, Sean was best at this area. Although the factory he ran was not that big at the time, and the number of people he managed was only a hundred or ten at best, it is incomparable with the current scale that is approaching the 100,000 mark.
It's the same thing, but there are many things in common.
It was this extreme training that made Sean realize how terrifying the knight level is. He never knew that his body contained so much power. Every time when he thought he had reached his physical limit, he would...
I slept for an hour or two and persisted, and then another hour or two.
The Knight level is like this, but what about the Great Knight level, which is known as a real monster?
The more you know, the more you fear.
Ignorant people are fearless. I foolishly provoked a great knight, and I was able to survive. It was purely lucky and lucky.
For this reason, Sean even had a spar with Alger, who had returned to his peak level. As can be imagined, even though Sean, who was already at the knight level, had used all his moves, he still couldn't stand three moves in front of his opponent and even had a chance to escape.
None.
Of course, this is related to the fact that Alger was a blessing in disguise. After the epidemic was cured, the three hard indicators of his body soared to varying degrees, and he was heading towards the road of a champion knight. Only the knight-level Sean could go head-on with a pseudo-champion knight.
Having lasted for three rounds is enough to be proud of.
After the schistosomiasis was cured, his physical fitness soared. Not only Ajer, but also everyone else had a similar situation. The two knights were directly promoted to the Grand Knight. The only difference between them now is to compare their soaring physical fitness with their own.
Killing skills blended together.
Although others were not so lucky, they also began to move towards the ranks of great knights.
This has to make people wonder, during the process of parasitism, blood-sucking worms also strengthen people's physical fitness?
This is already the first research topic of the team led by Ms. Elena. If this can be verified, this will be the greatest discovery in the history of medicine, no, even in the entire history of the Ashan continent, and will directly mass-produce the Great Knight.
Putting it on the agenda, this is something that the Andis Empire was not able to do at its peak.
After recovering from a serious illness, Alger and his group of knights all chose to be loyal to Ms. Elena.
To be more precise, they are loyal to the new medicine represented by Ms. Elena, and their motto is to protect and promote the new medicine to benefit all mankind.
This narrow escape from death made them spiritually sublime. In the face of the horror of life and death, the various grievances they had previously cared about now seemed so narrow-minded. They also had a more powerful enemy, and the epidemic was
One of them.
This can be regarded as the best of both worlds. After all, it is impossible for Sean to let them go, and it is impossible for them to be loyal to Sean and become enemies of their hometown relatives.
It is undoubtedly the best choice to be loyal to Ms. Elena and become the guardian knight of the medical research base. With such a group of people sitting in charge, Sean feels much more at ease.
As for the crimes they committed in the Andes Mountains, no one was held accountable, because the crimes they committed before were in the hostile camp. Now that they have surrendered, the crimes they committed before have been wiped out.
This is a bit unreasonable, but in this world with imperfect laws, many things that Sean considers unreasonable are actually reasonable.
Sean is not worried about their loyalty. Maintaining this is not just a life-saving grace, but they have fully understood the value of this medical research base. Destroying it is definitely a crime against all mankind.
What's more, none of the people in the medical research base are kind. Sometimes they don't necessarily need swords to kill people. As long as they want to, they can kill people faster than the champion knight.
The topic is far off topic, let’s get back to the topic.
The gains from pushing one's limits this time are also amazing, with a total increase of 1.5 comprehensive attributes, which is already the sum of three sets of intensive training.
However, this kind of extreme training cannot be done continuously. It is followed by two sets of intensive training, which are the two groups with gains of 0.3 and 0.4 respectively. It is obvious that the extreme training is too stressful and focuses on recovering physical fatigue, so the growth slows down significantly.
Feeling that he was almost recovered, Sean started another extreme training, but this time the harvest was not as scary as the first time, only 1.2, which is normal when you think about it. The first time was just an explosion, squeezing out the potential accumulated before.
It's not the norm even now.
If you do this one or two more times, the increase in extreme training will be greatly reduced, the effect of intensive training will disappear, and it will become routine training to maintain physical fitness.
It was obviously too hasty to start the extreme training this time. One-third of the way through, the overload training had begun to have an impact on the body. In this case, it was not the potential that was squeezed, but the vitality.
Fortunately, Sean, who has a medical research base as a backing, can activate an emergency plan and use various warm drugs to reduce this damage. Otherwise, this set of training will be abandoned halfway, breaking Sean's golden body of never stopping training midway.
Even so, Sean, who had just completed extreme training, could not continue even intensive training. He could only perform appropriate recovery training, which required at least one cycle. During this period, his comprehensive attributes would not only not improve, but would even fall.
Because some attributes are false attributes that damage the health of the body. The body has not reached this level. Once healed, it will recover naturally.
Sean plans to compress the length of the extreme training cycles. Each cycle will last two weeks and will be interspersed with intensive training. Compared to explosive data, Sean prefers this slow growth. What is gained in this way is the best for the body.
Useful.
It's still the same truth, the physical body has its limits. Even with the help of magical power, Sean's physical quality cannot increase indefinitely. This is a genetic limitation that cannot be broken through through conventional power.
This year's rapid increase in strength is not due to just a few cycles of training, but to the accumulation of the past ten years or so, which is commonly known as the accumulation of accumulated experience.
