As Xavier turned around and talked to him, the topic just now was completely ended by him. By the way, he also reminded Mr. Barry, hoping that he would not tell what happened today.

"Of course, no problem." The old man naturally nodded in agreement. He was not the kind of person who liked to ruin other people's reputations.

So as long as Miss Hannah didn't complain everywhere, Xavier's reputation would probably be preserved, but he was not familiar with other people's behavior, so he could only continue to regret it in his heart.

Seeing Xavier's expression of concern, Mr. Barry was embarrassed to continue laughing at the swordsman. At the same time, he was attracted by Xavier's topic and discussed with him the reward that Miss Hannah had just given him.

Xavier wanted to give half of it to Mr. Barry, because at the beginning of his time travel, if the old man and his wife had not taken him in, he would have died on the spot.

But the problem is that Barry felt that the remuneration was too generous. He said to Xavier in an exaggerated tone, "God's witness, Xavier, do you know how much thirty kronor is worth? In Gurnia, you have to feed a family.

A family of four only needs fifteen eurs a day, and one krona is worth a hundred eurs!"

"In other words, thirty kronor can feed a family of four for two hundred days?" Xavier asked rhetorically.

"Young people are really good at arithmetic..." Barry calculated in his mind for a while before responding, "So this is a huge sum of money for civilians, and I can't possibly accept it all. You

Just keep it for yourself, and you can use it when you get married to Miss Hannah in the future."

"I don't like Miss Hannah."

What do you think of the remuneration?"

After listening to Xavier's proposal, the old man Barry calculated in his mind for a while, and after he concluded that he had not taken advantage of it in vain, he reluctantly accepted his fifteen crowns.

Having said that, Xavier suddenly discovered that his swordsmanship was actually worth so much money. He just killed twelve water ghosts, but he could support a family of four for more than half a year!

Of course, he didn't know that this was because the army was given too much money. For a witcher, the same task might only be worth ten or even five crowns.

It was this small amount of money that made Xavier very fond of the local garrison, and Miss Hannah's invitation became even more difficult to refuse.

He's just the captain of a small village... With the swordsmanship I've initially integrated now, I should be able to do the job! Xavier thought in his heart.

In addition, according to Miss Hannah, Captain Lister, who leads the garrison here, is actually a knight! This means that he must have made military exploits on the battlefield and must have a lot of experience in battlefield battles.

If he could get proper guidance, Xavier felt that his swordsmanship would be further improved, and he would also be able to learn military training methods without having to figure it out on his own.

It can really be said that it kills two birds with one stone!

Immediately, he expressed his intention to join the army to Mr. Barry, and explained the reason he had just thought of.

"Are you trying to take the opportunity to get close to Miss Hannah?" Barry asked suspiciously.

"How is it possible..." Xavier was speechless for a moment because of the old man's thinking, "I just want to improve my own swordsmanship."

"To be honest, your swordsmanship is already very good in my eyes and doesn't need any improvement." Barry shook his head and said, "But if you really want to join the army, I must remind you first."

At this point, his eyes gradually became distant, with a bit of vicissitudes and sadness, as if he was thinking of some bad memories.

"Starting more than ten years ago, our country, the Minoan Empire, started a series of wars with the barbarians from the north. I heard that the two sides ceased fire for a while, but small conflicts continued to occur."

"What I'm afraid of now is that the war may have broken out again. Do you remember those water ghosts? Generally speaking, this kind of thing rarely happens. The last time I saw so many water ghosts was probably a few years ago."

"And that period happened to be when the war was rekindled. The war from the upper reaches washed the corpses into the river, turning them into water ghosts that we didn't want to see."

"So I want to tell you that once you join the army, you may be affected by the flames of war. Please think about it carefully!"

After listening, Xavier had to admit that he did not expect that there was a potential crisis behind a small invitation.

But...aren't those water ghosts here because I accepted the mission? Or is Mr. Barry's guess correct? Regardless of whether I accept the mission or not, the water ghosts will be affected by the war.

And coming to Reston Village?

Thinking of the system's habit of tricking people, Xavier felt that the latter was probably the truth, or that the system gave him a task because the water ghost came, rather than the water ghost coming because the system gave him a task.

Seeing that Xavier was deep in thought, Mr. Barry did not continue, but let him make his own choice.

~~~~~~

"Huo!"

Along with the turbulent flow of air, the silver light flashes continuously between the sky and the earth, like a dancing silver snake, killing all the enemies who will commit it.

This is obviously Xavier practicing his sword. He is trying to integrate the memory of the original owner into his own soul to ensure that he can skillfully use the corresponding sword moves even if he is not in combat.

It's a pity that some complex moves such as the 'Sword Dance' are still very unskilled, and the sense of dissonance is like listening to a foreigner reading Mandarin. It doesn't seem wrong, but in fact you know that it will never be used in this way.

But hard work is still useful. At least after a few days of hard training, he can feel that his swordsmanship has been improved accordingly. In fact, it is not a feeling, because the system has told him.

[Current host swordsmanship level: Apprentice Swordsman (16/100)]

Obviously, hard training can also increase one's experience value, and there is no need to take any risks. Although the efficiency is a bit low, one day of hard training is equivalent to a water ghost. If you want to upgrade, you will need to practice for at least several months.

So, he couldn't wait any longer! He decided to join the army and try to increase his experience points as soon as possible.

Are you saying that he is not afraid of death? No, Xavier, who has received nineteen years of education, would not be ignorant of the cruelty of war, but he still chose to join it in the end.

Because he felt that he could increase his power as quickly as possible through the system. By then, he would be able to reach a high position with his own strength. Even if the war really spread, he would no longer be the lobster soldier blocking the front line.

What's more, even if he chooses not to join the army, won't he be affected when the war comes? It's better to take a risk and improve his strength as soon as possible!
