A sudden month

Because it is very difficult to obtain a title now, if Gray Lint wants to be promoted to the title of earl by virtue of military merit, the possibility is slim!

For this point, Gray Lint's explanation was the same as the reason for dealing with Corwin: he was eager to obtain higher-order potion formulas and main ingredients through his military exploits.

This is quite difficult for the two of them to understand, because in their view, extraordinary ability is the key to gaining identity and wealth.

And no one will gain extraordinary abilities by virtue of their noble status.

But out of politeness, they reluctantly agreed.

What left Gray Lint speechless was that the two of them had no special feelings about his rather proud "Sequence Eight" strength and the apparently magical item "Wrath". They just sighed that he was really rich.

"If you knew that I had prepared more than 20,000 pounds by selling my house and land, and planned to use it to buy magical items, wouldn't you just call me crazy?"

Gray Linte complained in his heart.

There is no right or wrong, it's just that they have different pursuits. What he desires is strong personal power, while others pursue wealth and power.

————————————————————————

The sudden closed training somewhat disrupted Gray Lint's plan.

Previously, he considered that there were still about ten days left before starting training, and he was planning to try to play the role of "savage".

As a result, I didn't expect that the training would suddenly be required, and it would be a closed course, lasting only one month.

This means that he can't act at all this month. He can't be "savage" to his two companions or the trainer...

Watching Jim peeling pine nuts and eating them carefree, he felt a little envious for a moment, envious of Jim's carefreeness.

The sky is about to fall, and even if he doesn't intend to be the tallest, he doesn't want to passively become the shortest among them.

"Jim, do you still want to learn the mysterious language now?"

He couldn't help but pinch the back of Jim's neck and asked as if to confirm.

Jim's ears pricked up when he heard his question, and he asked quickly:

"Of course, are you finally willing to teach me?"

Gray Lint shook his head, and before Jim could feel depressed, he said:

"I don't have time, you can read and learn by yourself."

"I leave you with the zeal of the learned."

In the past, Gray Lint also considered wearing the "Erudition of the Erudite" to participate in training to save time.

But he gave up the idea after thinking about it carefully, because Jim needed this magical item more than he did.

Jim's next sequence is "Decryption Scholar". The performance and digestion of this potion requires a lot of basic occult knowledge, but Jim is currently completely blank in this area and needs to be supplemented urgently.

This month has just given him the basis for self-teaching various mysterious languages. With the help of magical items, this shouldn't be too difficult.

As for the occult knowledge, that can only be taught by Glerint later when he finds time.

As for himself, he only learned some common knowledge and skills. The knowledge he learned as a noble included the Dutan language used in the southern continent, which greatly reduced his learning pressure.

"OK!"

After discussing his whereabouts and plans with Jim, Gray Lint arranged the management of the mansion, treating it as a preview of how it would operate after he actually arrived in the Southern Continent.

He didn't leave much cash, just 1,000 pounds, which was enough for everyone in the mansion to last until the end of the year.

At the same time, he stipulated that the housekeeper, the valet and the chef should coordinate when taking the money to strictly prevent theft and abuse, but at the same time, they were not allowed to deduct the salary of a certain servant. He also asked them to report each other. If anyone has a reasonable whistleblower behavior,

He will receive a one-time reward of 200 pounds.

As for those who are exposed, they will be fired and prosecuted in civil courts.

In Backlund, if a servant or housekeeper is fired or prosecuted by his employer for personal reasons, he no longer has to work in this industry. Therefore, he basically does not have to worry about the servant absconding with the money.

This is not completely safe, including on the part of his estate agent Anthony.

But he was alone, and his few distant relatives might not be as reliable as his servants, so he had no choice.

He deposited the remaining 22,000 pounds into three accounts, and the subsequent monthly profits were also remitted to one of these three accounts.

As for Jim's food for the next month, in order to avoid exposing Jim's existence, he did not ask the servants to prepare it, but asked Jim to quietly go to the kitchen to get it. This would not be a problem for a "thief" rat.

Since it was unlikely to encounter a life-and-death struggle during this month, Gray Lint put away the "Witch's Mirror" and "Wrath" in order to avoid negative effects and did not carry them with him.

He only brought two magical items, "Ring of Law" and "Transformation", which had almost no negative effects.

After arranging all these chores, Gray Lint didn't bring a lot of groceries, just two sets of changes of clothes and a few daily necessities, and then went directly to the training place.

Of course, it is impossible to train directly on the fourth floor of the "Royal Grand Theater". There are many affairs there, a certain degree of confidentiality is required, and there is a lack of space.

Their training place was in a villa in the West District, and the two coaches in charge of the training also lived and ate with them.

Of these two teachers, one taught them language, customs and culture, and the other taught them fighting and mission skills.

MI9 is ​​an intelligence agency. The military is responsible for real battles or wars. They are more about collecting information.

For such a mission, how to effectively disguise, communicate and steal secrets is more important than how to fight.

————————————————————————

Since they already knew how to speak frankly, Gray Linte and his two companions were learning at different paces.

The original learning tasks that Casey assigned to the three members were to learn language and customs and culture in the morning, and in the afternoon they would learn fighting, shooting skills and mission skills.

However, when the two companions were learning Dutan, Gray Lint often found another teacher for training alone.

And thanks to the training he received from Cliff a few years ago, he has a good foundation in fighting and shooting, so he can train very quickly. The combination of these two aspects makes him far more than a step ahead of his peers.

In the first two weeks, he met the requirements of the entire training plan. In the remaining two weeks, Gray Lint performed intensive training.

On the one hand, this originally involved his own safety, and he did not dare to take it lightly. On the other hand, it was also because Casey did not allow him to leave early.

In the blink of an eye, the three of them ended their four-week study, and the time came to February 18th.

In this month, Gray Lint found almost no opportunity to perform, and the potion could be said to be completely undigested, which made him a little anxious.

Because he took the extra properties, his digestion would have been slower.

The normal digestion of low-sequence potions takes one month to half a year. When he digested "Lawyer" before, he summarized the rules of acting almost from the beginning. But even so, it took him almost a month and a half to completely complete the digestion.

By analogy, the digestion time for his Sequence 8 potion will not be less than two or three months.

In other words, even if everything goes completely smoothly, it will take May or June for him to be promoted to "briber". This is still based on the premise that the formula and materials are quite smooth.

In the Southern Continent, in MI9, the formula is easy to say, but the materials are particularly difficult.

Of course, it's not too late to be promoted to Sequence Seven in May or June, after all, Klein hadn't been born yet at that time.

But he has to consider subsequent digestion!

After all, his goal is not to be caught up by Klein before Sequence Three. Only in this way can he help and change some deeply regrettable things.

And Klein's promotion speed...

In the middle and lower sequences, even if Graylint is three or four sequences ahead, he does not have any confidence to achieve the above goal.

This is not to say that Klein is particularly talented, but that the other party has encountered too many things. Regardless of whether they have good intentions or bad intentions, many big bosses are pushing him and forcing him to move forward.
