Chapter 60: Knight Apprentice(1/2)
As long as the number of knight apprentices increases, the more taxes will be reduced and exempted. No wonder they will work so hard.
Lu Xun now seems to think that there are not many people who can be selected.
He didn’t know how many people would pass this year’s knight election, and Lu Xun couldn’t help but worry about the future of this village.
Lu Xun also discovered that the blacksmith in the village seemed to be watching the children gesticulating, as if he was building something for them.
Sure enough, wait until night.
After everyone finally completed these goals, the blacksmith also came over to ask the children what kind of weapons they wanted. After hearing the children's various descriptions, the blacksmith did not show any doubts, but made it for the children in a persuasive way.
Get up.
Design drawings were slowly produced one after another. Lu Xun could see that the blacksmith must have experienced this kind of thing many times, and the girl beside him said secretly: "If we fail again this time, we may have to
I’m hungry.”
"Is that so?"
Lu Xun asked the girl curiously.
"Is it possible that we have failed before?"
Hearing this, the girl opened her eyes wide.
"Have you forgotten? There was a selection of knight apprentices two years ago. At that time, no one in our village was selected. As a result, the heavy taxes crushed many people."
Hearing this, Lu Xun also frowned. Presumably this heavy tax is also a means to encourage villages and towns to vigorously train knight apprentices.
It can be seen that it is very cruel.
This bloody contrast is like a carrot tied in front of the eyes of livestock, making them run as hard as they can, and the person who controls these livestock is the lord in the city.
"Is that so? That's really a sad story."
Lu Xun shook his head helplessly.
As for the weapons he needed, Lu Xun felt that this craftsman might not be able to make them.
After all, this weapon is not something modern people can understand.
Thinking of this, Lu Xun casually mentioned an ordinary standard long sword, and the girl also made the same choice as Lu Xun.
It's not that she has any opinions, it's because she doesn't know what to choose.
The craftsman also nodded. The weapons these two children need are probably the most normal among the children.
And after everything is prepared.
Lu Xun and the others were taken to a big house and began to eat food. The food was very tempting.
The children couldn't wait to rush forward and began to eat.
But Lu Xun discovered a problem.
[Creator, you have discovered psychic reactions.]
"Oh, that is to say, is this meat similar to that kind of mutated beast?"
Lu Xun nodded.
It's no wonder, after all, this knight has psychic reactions.
In this case, he must know this, but this also overturned Lu Xun's previous guess.
This means that the old man's pedigree is most likely not a knight, but a monster. After all, judging from the current situation, the monster pedigree is the easiest way forward.
That is to say.
Before Lu Xun could finish thinking, the old man said: "These meats contain powerful power. Although you may feel unwell later, believe me, you will feel excited and powerful. As long as you take it appropriately,
With the potion, you will be able to completely tame this power. By then you will be the most powerful knight apprentice, instead of being like me and having to die in this village."
After hearing this, Lu Xun understood. It seemed that the old man was indeed a knight, but he didn't know where to get the meat of these beasts.
And all this is to participate in the selection of the knight apprentice.
As he spoke, Lu Xun also learned that ten people would be selected for this selection. If all ten people become knight apprentices, then the village will be exempted from taxes for ten years, and it may even become the size of a small town.
p>
On the other hand, if all ten people fail, it will be a question whether the village can survive the re-election two years later.
This is a cruel reality, the weak eat the strong, and the fittest survive.
Lu Xun also tasted the meat in front of him carefully. Now, he is already a third-level spiritual master. These are just meats that contain a little psychic reaction. To him, they are nothing at all, and the thin man next to him is nothing.
The girl ate it with gusto.
She just felt that her body seemed to have really improved a lot.
"I'll give it to you, I don't have much appetite."
Lu Xun gave all the meat to the girl. After all, this thing was of no use to him, and the girl was moved to tears.
"Don't worry, Lu Xun, I will definitely become a knight apprentice and leave the village with you."
The girl seemed to be very grateful to Lu Xun, and Lu Xun also smiled helplessly.
"Hey, let's all survive first."
After dinner, everyone was arranged into two dormitories. Men and women were separated. The time for washing and resting was also strictly controlled, because they had to train the next day. Lu Xun didn't do what he wanted and just lay down.
Come down.
After all, not to mention Terra, the future demon, even Leng Yuxuan, is a fifth-level transcendent, so there should be no problem.
As for Gao Bingbing, Lu Xun is a little worried. This world has extraordinary power, but she is only a second-level so-called night wandering god. He doesn't know what will happen?
Lu Xun lay down and fell asleep while thinking. He should not be anxious about anything. If an accident really happened, he would be able to deal with it easily.
And wait until the next day.
As soon as the rooster crows, the old man crows everyone and starts training laps.
After that, there was the practice of postures, one posture, two postures. This seemed to be some kind of knight training method. However, the children who had eaten yesterday's beast meat carrying psychic energy were very energetic.
Like that thin girl, her skin looks a lot more rosy.
These 50 laps actually took half the time compared to yesterday, which is really a miracle.
However, Lu Xun knew that this was all a reaction catalyzed by psychic energy. Presumably, within a week, if these meats were used continuously, the children would develop some kind of abnormality.
Lu Xun was not in a hurry, but followed them to train. These movements were very basic and must have been part of the old man's training back then.
[Creator, you have discovered the reaction that catalyzes psychic energy.]
The Eye of the World's prying eyes are completely consistent with Lu Xun's guess.
After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the old knight is leading all of this.
“I don’t know how many people will be selected in the end.”
Lu Xun shook his head helplessly, and time passed by like this. On the seventh day, some of the children had alienated reactions.
"Very good, very good."
The old man was very excited, this was the effect he wanted.
"Those mages really didn't lie to me, these meats are really effective!"
"Mage?"
Lu Xun guessed that this was probably an extraordinary person from another lineage.
Lu Xun frowned. Scales began to grow on the child's body, making him very scared.
"Village Chief, I, I didn't turn into a monster, did I?"
However, the old man said: "Don't worry, after you stabilize, you can become a knight apprentice. This abnormality is nothing in the knight army."
"Aren't these abnormalities nothing?"
Lu Xun frowned, how unusual the knights in the city must be.
Lu Xun was still confused. Could it be that the knights were all monsters?
Lu Xun had no way to stop it. After all, lycanthropy only requires two opposite psychic energies to solve, but it can only be used after breaking through the first level.
Lu Xun felt that in this era, gaining strength was not a bad thing. He could simply wait until they were about to break through the first level before helping them.
In the following time, more and more children appeared with scales, feathers, tail wings, and even fangs and claws, but only Lu Xun and the thin girl beside him did not have any abnormal characteristics.
But fortunately, the training results of the two of them gradually reached the middle range, which also made the old man very strange.
"Is it possible that the part of your alienation is on the inside?"
Lu Xun naturally pretended to be dumbfounded and nodded repeatedly: "And the girl didn't know what was going on, so she could only nod along."
This reassured the old man. After all, who can explain this kind of thing clearly?
On the last day of this month, the old man summoned 20 boys and girls.
"Children, today is the day for you to start your apprenticeship. What you have to do is very simple. There is a ferocious beast in the deep mountains. You must work together to kill it. Those who survive can go to join the Knight Apprenticeship.
