Chapter 450 Sauron County Yanfengwei
The first game of the day is over.
The number of spectators in the sword hall is constantly increasing, and the cheers are mixed with the noise of the new crowd.
Obviously, this is a warm-up game with excellent results.
Even for those "gamblers" who are used to seeing all kinds of exciting fencing competitions, life-threatening play like Gothe's is still rare.
The splash of blood caused their adrenaline hormones to surge, entering a state of excitement in advance.
Because of this excitement, these spectators tend to invest more chips in the subsequent fencing competition.
But this has nothing to do with Gaode.
His mission for today has ended.
Hand waved down the staff of the sword hall who came to the ring to help him out. Gothe dragged his blood-stained steel sword and walked steadily off the ring.
His body was covered with open wounds, and occasionally blood seeped out, leaving deep or shallow footprints on the floor with every step he took.
But his expression was extremely calm, like an unconscious iron puppet.
This contrast caused the audience to burst into even more enthusiastic cheers.
Although this is Gaode's first game, his performance has already made many viewers remember the swordsman "Shan".
As long as he can continue this performance, he may win two or three more games. Even if his swordsmanship is relatively "low-level", he can still achieve "promotion".
"Mr. Shan, please come this way." The maid in black gauze who received Gao De yesterday has already come to greet him.
She changed into a low-collared lace shirt today, revealing the white skin on her chest, and her tone was a little more attentive than yesterday.
Following the maid, Gaode walked into the internal office area of the sword hall.
"Mr. Shan, do you need to use the treatment at our sword hall? Although it is not free, for you swordsmen, our charging standards are based on cost. Compared with the outside world, we can save a lot of treatment costs." When walking into the long and narrow corridor, the waitress asked softly in a gentle voice.
"No need." Gaode said two words "Leng Leng".
His main purpose of coming to the sword hall, to put it mildly, is to "self-mutilate" to trigger [Adaptive].
Isn’t it contradictory to go for treatment after suffering all these things?
Besides, Gothe looked down at his wound.
Pain is inevitable, but fortunately with the blessing of Dharma Ninja, he can completely endure this pain.
In addition to the pain, Gaode also clearly felt that the wounds all over his body were itching slightly.
This is a wound that is healing.
Because his physical recovery ability has been increased to 6% by [Adaptive], his injuries heal much faster than others.
Now, stimulated by this "tragic" injury, [Adaptive] is running crazily, and his body's recovery ability is rapidly improving at a steady speed.
Having witnessed Gothe's "violent" performance in the ring with her own eyes, the waitress was not surprised at all by Gothe's blunt reaction now.
Mr. Shan is such a cold swordsman!
The Cold Swordsman is a man of few words, which is in line with his character.
Although Mr. Shan's swordsmanship is not as exquisite as other swordsmen, he is also younger than other swordsmen.
Perhaps in a few years, Mr. Shan will become an ace swordsman like the Silver-throated Swordsman. I must maintain a good relationship with Mr. Shan.
The waitress secretly thought in her heart, and unconsciously her walking posture became more graceful and swaying.
Once again, we came to the oak door of the fat manager's office. Before the waitress knocked on the door, the fat manager's laughter could already be heard through the door.
"Come in."
When the waitress opened the door, the two of them walked in.
The fat manager frowned at first, staring at Gothe's blood-stained clothes with his turbid eyes, and scolded the waitress: "Why don't you take the mountain swordsman for treatment first?"
"I said no need." Gothe took the initiative, his voice was hoarse and calm.
"Oh" The fat manager is an expert. He has been in this business for so many years. What kind of weird things have he not seen?
So he didn't ask why, but reached out and took out a small bag of gorse coins from the drawer and stuffed it into Gothe's hand.
Gothe looked inside casually, only to find that it contained 30 gorse coins.
"Huh?" He raised his eyebrows. According to the regulations, the reward for playing a game is 10 gorse coins. If you win, there will be an additional 5 gorse coins. The total is only 15 gorse coins.
"The other 15 gorse coins were given to the Mountain Swordsman by me as an extra to celebrate the Mountain Swordsman's victory in the first game." The fat manager's face trembled with a smile.
More importantly, Gaode's style of play today is unprecedented in their sword hall, and it is extremely effective in stimulating the enthusiasm of the audience.
If Gaode can continue to play for a long time, sooner or later it will become as golden a brand as Silver Throat.
Hence why he was willing to pay more gorse coins for it.
Of course, from the perspective of the fat manager, Gaode’s style of play is destined to be difficult to continue for a long time.
After all, if you often walk by the river, your shoes will get wet. If you keep trying, you will die sooner or later.
Don't give up the free money. Gothe didn't show politeness to the fat manager and just stuffed the small bag of gorse coins into his arms.
"Please arrange a game for me after two days." He said again.
"Huh?!" Gothe's request made the fat manager's pupils shrink. He suspected that he had heard wrongly and glanced at Gothe's injuries. "Shan Swordsman, your injury is so serious. Why don't you take a few more days to rest and recuperate?"
But he still understands the principle of long-lasting water. Swordsmen willing to participate in competitions are scarce resources and cannot be consumed in vain.
The injury is so serious, two days is not enough time to recover. Playing the game again with such an injury, isn't that going to death?
"Just make arrangements for me." Gothe did not explain, but said coldly.
The fat manager was startled, and finally flipped through the book on the table again, and said, "Then it will still be the first game, no problem."
Watching Gothe leave, the fat manager let out a long breath and said to the waitress who exposed a large area of skin on his chest: "The origin of this mountain is not simple. It seems that it uses our sword hall as a sharpening stone."
Such an injury, but he has to play again in two days, indicating that he is confident that he will heal the injury within these two days.
In such a short time, only advanced potions and spells can do it.
The fact that Shan can obtain this kind of resource shows that its origin is not simple.
With such a background, why would you risk your own life to participate in the wet fencing competition in their sword hall? It can't be just to earn a few bucks, right?
Thinking about how young he is, the answer is readily apparent.
Apparently, he is a simple swordsman who is obsessed with swords and wants to improve his swordsmanship.
The fat manager had no objection to this.
In any case, no matter what Gaode's purpose is, as long as he participates in competitions in the sword hall, he can bring him a large amount of income.
Leaving the fat manager's office, Gothe took off his ragged clothes in the dressing room next to the corridor, bandaged them briefly, put on a new set of clothes, and left the sword hall through the back door.
Increase physical injury recovery ability by 8%
In just less than ten minutes, the body's ability to recover from injuries has already begun to adapt.
And, this will be an ongoing process.
Until all his injuries are healed, [Adaptive] will continue to be triggered.
The price is to force yourself not to use external treatment methods, endure the pain, and rely solely on the body's self-healing ability to recover.
For outsiders, it may be difficult to do.
But Gothe evolved the [Dharma-Ninja Body] first, and has a strong tolerance for pain, which just helps to improve the adaptation progress now.
As more and more bodies evolve, this invisible linkage and complementation will become more and more frequent.
This is similar to how people with strong running ability generally get started faster and perform better than others when engaging in other sports.
忍归能忍，但那种痛苦并不会因为高德的能忍而消失。
In addition, the dense wounds looked a bit scary, so Gaode wisely chose to recuperate at home, practice the "Aoki Sutra of Immortality", build spell models, and never go out again.
That 30-year-old dragon's blood bacteria is very powerful.
Gaode was not far away from completing the first ring, so he did not consume all the medicinal power of the Dragon Bird Blood Bacteria at that time, and some residual medicinal power was still deposited in the body.
This part of the precipitated medicinal power will slowly dissipate as time goes by.
Hence Gothe, during this period, he took the time to digest the dissipating residual power of the medicine.
It is indeed a specialty magic plant of the Plantagenet Dynasty. Even if he is already a second-level mage, the Dragon Bird Blood Bacterium still has a very obvious promotion effect on the improvement of his mage level.
On the emerald green mana crystal condensed by the Aoki Immortality Sutra, the sixty-first magic lines are already looming and are about to condense out.
The progress is gratifying.
The next day.
Gothe's injury was less than half recovered, except that he was no longer bleeding, but his plan to recuperate behind closed doors had to be suspended.
Because the staff sent by Hai Sentinel rushed over and said that he had something important to ask him to go to Haiyuan White Tower immediately.
Important things?
Gaode calculated in his mind and guessed that the approval for the promotion to military rank should have been approved.
Once things are settled, the process goes very quickly.
After all, it was submitted for review and approval by someone like Lieutenant Colonel Grayling. How could the person responsible for the review and approval dare to neglect it?
On this occasion, Gaode had no reason not to refuse.
He had no choice but to cast [Disguise +] on himself to hide the horrific wounds that his clothes could not cover, then went back to the bedroom to change into the uniform of a Shanghai sentry, and then hurried to the White Tower of Haiyuan.
The Sea Sentinel organization originated from Barrow County and was launched in Barrow County. Its mission scope is also limited to Barrow County. However, it is not under the jurisdiction of Barrow County, but is under the vertical management of the Plantagenet Dynasty.
The mages of Sea Sentinel are all talented mages, and they have a lot of resources, so they have trained too many high-level mages.
This is a huge and powerful military force and strategic resources, and it can only belong to the dynasty.
This will not only prevent the local noble forces from colluding to monopolize the resources of the Sea Sentinel, but also prevent them from colluding with the Sea Sentinel mages and taking advantage of the Sea Sentinel position to do illegal development and threaten the foundation of the dynasty's rule.
Another point is that the mages trained by Sea Sentinel are important resources for the dynasty, and vertical management makes it easy to deploy them when needed.
Under this management model, low-level military rank promotions within the Sea Sentinel can be decided by themselves, while higher-level military rank promotions need to be reported to the dynasty and decided by the dynasty.
The promotion to the rank of warrant officer is not a big deal, but it is a small one. It is entering the official level, which is exactly the level that needs to be reported to the dynasty.
Although the territory of the Plantagenet Dynasty is not as large as that of the Holy Empire, which occupies most of the Norland continent and spans the three continents of Midgard and Terra, it is still quite broad.
In order to facilitate management, there are dual cores in the dynasty.
Essentially, it is the "two capitals system".
The first core is naturally the royal capital of the Plantagenet Dynasty, the glorious capital.
The City of Glory is located in the upper center of the Plantagenet Dynasty.
Hence, the second core was established in the most prosperous County of Forth in the southern region of the Plantagenet Dynasty, the Nanbin Haijishu, with jurisdiction over four counties including Byro County.
The power is neither big nor small, and is under the jurisdiction and supervision of the royal capital. However, it is able to execute many government orders and is a very useful companion capital of the Glory City, which also includes approving military rank promotions within the Sea Sentinel.
Gaode's military rank promotion was due to his appointment at Nanbin Haijishu, so the approval was completed so quickly.
Arrived at Haiyuan White Tower, under the guidance of the staff, Gothe met Captain Merrick and an official from Nanbin Haijishu who was wearing exquisite official uniforms. There were several accompanying people behind the official.
He was a middle-aged man with an extraordinary bearing. When he saw Gothe arrive, he immediately took out the document and read out the promotion order without any ink: "Sergeant Gothe takes the order!"
Gao Dewei looked attentively and listened carefully to the promotion order.
It basically summed up his achievements, then praised him from the perspective of the dynasty, and encouraged him to continue working hard to contribute to the dynasty. Finally, the highlight was the special promotion, from sergeant to the rank of sergeant, and directly to warrant officer.
After Gothe took over the document and expressed his gratitude, Captain Merrick turned to invite him.
"You have come a long way, you might as well take a rest. Lieutenant Colonel Grayling has already hosted a banquet at my house."
The middle-aged man waved his hand and declined: "This time I came out to you just for a drop-in. There is an important appointment at the Yanfeng Guards in Solon County that I need to announce, so I don't want to waste too much time here."
"The appointment of Yanfeng Guard?" Captain Merrick heard this, thoughtfully, and tentatively asked: "Is it the most controversial one?"
"Yes." The middle-aged man nodded solemnly.
"I see, then I won't delay your schedule. Things are important over there." There seemed to be something very special about that character. Upon hearing this, Captain Merrick stopped trying to hold him back and hurriedly raised his fist.
