Another day.
The rising sun rises in the east.
On the racecourse, Liszt shouted, "Multi-Phantom Arrow!"
The six arrows at the front and back made a violent sound of piercing the air, chasing each other in the air, colliding together in an instant, and then their trajectories were scattered and out of formation.
There were only two arrows, stuck on the target a hundred meters away.
"Failed." He shook his head, and of course he failed again. Now his archery level is not yet ready to use the secret of <Multiple Arrow> - Multi-Phantom Arrow.
In addition, I haven't touched a bow and arrow for several days, and my level has even slightly declined.
If you don't advance against the current, you will retreat. The same is true for the cultivation of fighting skills. Fortunately, he is already very skilled in the most basic Double Arrows part of <Multiple Arrow>.
It is enough for Earth Knight to effectively use Double Arrows on the battlefield.
Looking not far away, Marcus was training the knight squad. Just yesterday, another young team member developed fighting spirit and became his Retainer Knight. Half of the twelve team members have become Apprentice Knight with Primary Battle Qi. Waiting for them all to develop fighting spirit.
It's time to go out to wipe out Thorn Ridge.
"Before this winter, we must capture Thorn Ridge!" Liszt did not disturb Marcus's teaching, handed the equipment to Retainer Knight, and rode back to the castle for a walk.
Take a bath.
Get ready for breakfast.
Carter The housekeeper stood aside and reported to him, "Sir, the town bakers Renard and Mrs. Abby have cooperated and successfully made a new type of bread. Are you going to try it now?"
"Really? The bread is already made. Bring it over quickly."
The new bread does not look like the expected meat floss bread, but a round steamed bun shape, with cracks on the surface, and you can see thick butter flowing in the cracks.
"What kind of bread is this?"
"It doesn't have a name yet, waiting for you to name it. Mrs. Abby introduced that it is made of flour, eggs and butter... and is divided into two parts, the inside and the outside. The outer crust is a little more troublesome to make, but the cracks when baked are very beautiful." Carter explained in detail how to make the new bread.
Liszt already picked one up and took a bite.
Suddenly, the aroma of butter mixed with the aroma of bread reverberated between the lips and teeth, stimulating the taste buds to bloom. It was much more delicious than simple white bread.
This tastes like this.
Liszt said directly, "Mr. Carter, tell Mrs. Abby and Renard to call it - pineapple bun!"
"Pineapple buns, a very vivid name."
"From now on, my breakfast and white bread will be replaced by pineapple buns, and there is no need to change them for lunch and dinner. Contact Shylock, Thorn Caravan and Renard to try to cooperate and see if we can sell pineapple buns at North Valley City." Liszt immediately arranged a sales plan for pineapple buns.
After thinking about it, he continued, "In addition, tell Renard and Mrs. Abby that as a reward for inventing a new type of bread, each of them will receive one... ten silver coins. Also, if you have ideas, continue to invent them. The more flavors of bread, the better."
He wanted to say that each person would be rewarded with a gold coin.
I recently made money selling Black Pearl, my pockets are bulging, and my pride is skyrocketing.
But the reward of one gold coin is the same as the reward of discovering Elf Bug and cultivating the magic potion. This is too exaggerated. It is just bread to satisfy the appetite, and it is not worthy of too much reward.
So it was changed to ten silver coins.
Carter leaves.
He slowly tasted the pineapple buns and was very satisfied that he was not being generous. "If you are not a householder, you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are, and the lord has no surplus food at home."
Slowly.
A faint Smoke floated in front of the eyes, twisted and squirmed, forming a section of Snake Script.
"Complete the mission and be rewarded with sunken treasure."
After a while, the text dispersed, and Smoke regrouped and began to publish a new task. "Task: Kosto has been very distressed recently. Since he became the navigation teacher of the Knight Team, the teaching has been difficult. The Knight Team is dismissive of navigation knowledge. Please correct the attitude of the teenagers. Reward: Mutated variety Bramble."
"The sunken treasure has finally been obtained... The knight team is unwilling to learn navigation knowledge? It seems that there may be a certain connection between the mission rewards and the new tasks. The only one who can discover the sunken treasure is Kosto." He shook the rattle and called to the old butler who was not far away.
"Master."
"Send someone to bring Captain Kosto over. I have something to ask him."
"Yes, sir."
About half an hour later, Kosto arrived at the castle. "Sorry, Lord, I was snorkeling at the beach and was delayed for a while."
"Snorkeling?"
"I am exercising my water and underwater fighting abilities. Although I am not a knight, I still want to fight."
"How has the Knight Squad been studying with you lately?"
"This..." Kosto hesitated to speak.
"Just say it."
"Your Retainer Knights have a very unfriendly attitude towards the learning of navigation knowledge. They don't even like to learn how to swim, let alone teach them how to sail. They always talk about 'knights rely on horses, not sailboats'. Moreover, Mr. Marcus takes up a lot of the knights' time."
Liszt It became clear instantly.
Although Marcus has been impressed by him and started to follow him, and understands that the sea can also provide wealth. But in his heart, he still admires Knight's Glory and the charge of war horses. He feels that ships only need to send them to fight on land, and there is no need to learn any navigation knowledge.
So he transferred his concepts to Retainer Knights and occupied Kosto's teaching time.
For Marcus, Liszt sighed slightly - it is easy to change a person's identity, but a little difficult to change a person's concept.
Fortunately, he can use the majesty of the lord.
Immediately summon all Marcus and the knight squad and gather at the entrance of the castle.
Liszt began to lecture. "Starting from today, all of you will spend half a day to learn navigation knowledge from Captain Kosto. Within three days, you must learn to swim. If you can't learn it, you will be punished with fifty lashes. After a week, I will test your navigation knowledge. If you fail to answer a question, you will be punished with ten lashes!"
Young men, they hesitate to speak.
Liszt ignored it and called Marcus into the study, "Teacher Marcus, you should know why I'm looking for you?"
Marcus solemnly said, "Sir, I don't think the knights need to be distracted to learn navigation. We do need to cross the ocean by ship and go to the mainland. Let ordinary sailors control the ship, and we knights concentrate on fighting. Coral Island Knights also continues this fighting method."
What he said makes sense.
The knights are in the army, but Liszt asked them to be in the navy, so naturally they were reluctant.
But Liszt has his own idea. "How many of these knights do you think can become Earth Knight? Or when can they become Earth Knight?"
"I think before the age of twenty, someone should be able to become Earth Knight. Philip and Xavier have good talents." Marcus replied.
"Two... I worked hard to train them, but I can only harvest two Earth Knight. So, can they form a knight team and go to the mainland to fight on the battlefield."
"I'm willing to fight to the death for you!"
"I accept the offer, but this is an impulsive and foolish act. Flower Town is still developing. I have purchased a large number of serfs. In the future, I will select young people who are outstanding enough and train them. But now, what I need is instructors who have mastered various basic abilities, not useless people who are proficient in combat."
"What do you mean?"
"Teacher Marcus, some of these knight team members will become the backbone of the knight team, and some of them will helm ships in the future, transporting my knights to the mainland to compete for minerals... Division of labor and cooperation, each performing his or her own duties, I say this, do you understand."
Liszt's expression is calm, but his eyes are stern.
Marcus took a deep breath, knelt down on one knee, lowered his head, and simply responded, "Marcus misunderstood your will, passively resisted your arrangements for the knight team, please punish me!"
