Studying Science in the Alternate World

  Chapter 78 Broken Sword Mercenary Regiment

   "It's estimated that I will lose my pants this year." The Sasque farmer was waiting at the warehouse door to receive the Physalis Blood Spirit Fruit seeds.

   Chatted boredly with Duke who was also waiting.

   "You can always keep your capital. The Black Snake family has a good reputation, so it shouldn't be too ruthless. After all, everyone needs to help grow the Physalis Blood Spirit Fruit." Duke said.

   Susk carefully looked around to make sure no one else could hear him.

   Then he whispered: "That may not be the case, you are still young, and there are many things you haven't experienced. The Black Snake family is not a soft-hearted generation."

   "What does brother say?"

   "Hey... no." Although Susk likes to chat and spank, he doesn't want to talk lightly, especially when he speaks ill of the Black Snake family behind his back.

   After chatting casually for a while, it was Duke's turn to pick up the seeds.

   After receiving the seeds.

  He didn't stay in the town for long, and went back in Levin's tricycle. There were 50 acres of land to be planted. This time, he didn't spend money to hire a farming team, but called temporary workers, and planted the seeds one by one from dawn to dusk.

  Different from wheat sowing, these physalis blood spiritual fruit seeds are all spiritual plants, and each one must ensure a germination rate and must be treated with care.

certainly.

  As a farmer, Duke did not do the work himself.

   He has a few more discarded 2-ring spirit cards, which were gifted to him by Captain Zina, and they are all the ones that can't be repaired.

   Compare these scrapped 2-ring spirit cards and the 3-ring spirit card that can't be repaired.

  Duke has been devoting almost all his attention to the research of these discarded spirit cards. Although he is sure that he still can't repair them well, it is not without gain.

  The in-depth study of the 3-level spell model and the 2-level spell model has brought him a lot of inspiration.

   There will be a small epiphany almost every three to five times, and the understanding of the ring and the trajectory of the arcane will be a little deeper.

   "Process 1: Meditate in the field, and hang up consumes 25% of the power. The current Linghai level, 0-ring four-star spiritual apprentice (connected by wire), the promotion progress is estimated to be 47.3%, and the time budget is 701 days."

  On the progress table in Linghai.

  The consumption of "Field Meditation" has been further reduced, the progress is almost halfway, and the time budget has been shortened by more than 100 days.

   "If this continues, I should be able to advance to a five-star spiritual apprentice within this year!"

  Duke felt very comfortable.

  So what if the talent is weak, with the help of Xiaoyi, coupled with his own understanding, he is worthy of any genius in terms of spiritual cultivation.

  …

  In the evening when spring just came, the weather was still cold.

   "Wow!"

  The five little ones, which had already grown vigorously, began to bark one after another.

   Levin, who was weeding the gaps between the stone bricks, looked up and saw someone approaching. He immediately called to stop the five little ones, and then opened the door of the spiritual pressure net.

   "Captain Zina."

   "It's Levin, is Duke there?"

   "The boss is here." Levin immediately led Zina.

  In the villa, Duke heard the dog barking, and saw who was coming from the window, so he quickly welcomed Zina in.

  Aunt Abby was cooking in the kitchen, and made a cup of coffee for Zina: "Captain Zina, are you going to eat here tonight?"

   "Well, that's troublesome."

  Duke smiled and said, "No trouble." This is his current benefactor.

  Aunt Abby went back to the kitchen to cook.

  Duke invited Zina into the study on the second floor to discuss matters. The two had no personal relationship, and every time Zina came over, it was for business.

   "There aren't many spirit cards this time." Duke said, looking at the damaged spirit card brought by Zina.

   There are only two 2-level arcane cards and six 1-level arcane cards.

  Zina shook her head and said: "Recently, many mercenary groups have hibernated. In fact, the closer they are to Cuihai Valley, the more burrow marching ants are found. Every time they meet, they will stack up, and their defenses cannot be broken at all. With fewer battles, there must be fewer damaged spirit cards."

   "I see. It seems that everyone is waiting for the acid mylabris to enter."

   "That's right, unless the Great Austrian Mage takes action, it will be difficult to clean up the army ants in the crypt. It is said that the acid cantharidin is specially selected from countless spiritual insects, and it is a special species that has been cultivated by Gu scholars for generations. It is to deal with the army ants in the crypt."

  Among the arcane scholars who specialize in the study of spirit insects, they can be awarded the title of Imperial Gu Scholar if they achieve certain achievements.

  Duke asked curiously: "Are the crypt army ants widely distributed?"

   "Of course it is very wide. Our Broken Sword is mainly active in Heihe Jiaodi. In the past few years, there have been relatively few pioneering wars, but field expeditions have been frequent. The most opponents we have encountered are crypt army ants. It is said that most of the area of ​​the Seven Towers Federation has traces of crypt army ants."

  After saying this, Zina suddenly said again: "By the way, Little Duke, are you interested in joining our Broken Sword mercenary group?"

"I?"

   "Yeah, you are a talent, and it's too inferior to work alone. If you join us in Broken Sword, you can do all the business of Broken Sword. With our Broken Sword to support you, there will be no more forced sales in Snake Town."

   "I'll think about it." Duke said perfunctorily.

   Then asked a slightly awkward question: "I remember the leader before Broken Sword, called Delemon?"

  Zina nodded and said: "Dremon is indeed our old captain. It is a pity that he died in the attack of the beast horde. In the end, I, the deputy captain, took over. But this is also a normal thing. A knight will either join the patrol team to guard the gate, or go out to take risks as a mercenary."

  Duke expressed understanding, in his opinion, it did.

  Those knights either became vassals of the nobles, formed patrols to defend the nobles, or served in government agencies, following cars, standing guard, maintaining law and order, and so on.

   Knights who don't want to be restrained, want to obtain training resources, they can only join the mercenary group and ask for it from nature.

   "I heard that mercenary groups usually have a sponsor, do you have Broken Sword?"

   "Originally there were." Zina narrowed her eyes, as if thinking of something unhappy, "But after Delemon passed away, the sponsor also lost contact. And I don't like the sponsor, so I took the opportunity to clean it up."

   "Well, it's no wonder that you want to start the refurbished card business with me, Commander Zina."

   "Who doesn't want to make money? Our mercenaries fight their lives in 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. There are five 1st rings including me. Among the mercenary groups currently coming to Snake Head Town, Broken Sword can be at the forefront."

   "How many people do you use?"

   "There are more than 100 members in the regiment, and there are 80 fighters. After you join, you don't need to fight, just handle the spirit card business."

  Duke still said before: "Well, I will consider it."

  He doesn't want to join the mercenary group and be managed by others. If that's the case, he might as well join the Black Snake family as a vassal.

but.

  He suddenly laughed again: "Speaking of which, I am happy to cooperate with Captain Zina, but I really want to be Broken Sword's sponsor."
