Sword Sorcery - Chapter 20

[Chapter 20 Secretly Prepared]

half an hour later

Back in his room, Aaron, who went into the bathroom to wash his body with cold water, put on a new set of clothes, and lay down on a big bed, looking at the information in his mind about chip-optimized breathing—

“”Circular Cross Breathing Method II” is being optimized, the estimated remaining time: 7 hours and 15 minutes.”

Aaron shook his head and frowned secretly: “I remember that it took about 3 hours to optimize the circular cross breathing method in the first part, right? This optimization took 7 hours, it seems that the next part It is much more complicated than the previous one, and the more complicated things are, the greater the burden on the chip, so that it takes more time to analyze.”

“And after I entered the quasi-knight, I clearly felt that my body, including neural responses, had improved in many aspects. The chip that relies on my physical ability to play the upper limit is equivalent to an evolution, including computing. The ability has also improved a lot, but this time it still takes 7 hours…”

As a result, Aaron was even more looking forward to the second part of the optimized reverse cross breathing method. The result was that he was lying on the bed, tossing and turning over and over again and couldn’t fall asleep, completely falling into insomnia.

Lying on the bed, Aaron twisted his neck, feeling his lucidity just after taking a cold shower—

“It’s really a shame. Only the Viscount and the others have hot water for bathing on the third floor. For example, we can only use cold water for bathing here on the second floor. However, there is at least a single wooden bathroom in the second floor room, compared to the first floor. There is no bathroom in the ordinary room, and it is better for ordinary soldiers to go to the dirty public bathroom if they want to take a shower.”

“Hey, that guy Bruce is probably scolding his mother in the smelly public bathroom?”

“Since you still can’t sleep, just get up.”

Although Aaron can let the chip assist him and go directly into a state of deep sleep, he doesn’t want to do it now, but simply gets up and gets out of bed and looks at the time in the lower right corner of the horizon——

0:57

It was close to 1 o’clock in the middle of the night, and the standard night was quiet, but Aaron knew that there were still some places open within the castle – such as some typical late-night places.

…………

So, Aaron put on a heavy coat that only soldiers can wear, and hurried to a bar in the commercial area of the castle – the only bar in the castle.

old beer bar

Pushing open the wooden door, a noisy and hot air came from the bar, causing Aaron to narrow his eyes subconsciously. After all, when he was late at night in his previous life, he was either working overtime or making up for sleep. It was very rare to go to a place like a bar. , feel a little uncomfortable with this atmosphere.

The commercial area is an area in the north of the castle. The Viscount’s castle is quite large. In addition to the more than 100 soldiers stationed all year round (the other 100 people are sent to the village in turn), it also accommodates servants, helpers, There are more than 1,000 farmers, cooks, etc. It can indeed be called a quite mini ‘city’.

This bar is a place for the bored civilians in the city to relax.

Of course, many soldiers are regular visitors here. After all, the monthly salary of the soldiers is more than the salary of these civilians, and the soldiers usually don’t need to spend money on meals (there is only a canteen for the soldiers to eat in the castle, and when the village is garrisoned) The village is responsible for the meals of the soldiers).

Therefore, the soldiers are the major consumers of this bar. The bar is apparently owned by a relative of one of the Viscount’s wife, but it is actually an important industry for the Viscount to recover funds, and the same is true for some other storefronts in the castle. One of the properties of the Viscount himself.

Aaron quietly pushed through the crowd and came to the bar, and the owner of the shop who was greeting customers (on the surface) Jerry immediately recognized Aaron – after all, this guy was making a fuss in his shop last week ( was beaten).

“Hey~, Aaron is back? So early? Shouldn’t you be back tomorrow morning?”

Jerry took out his pocket watch and looked at it, and then corrected: “Oh no, it’s already past twelve o’clock, I should say that I only came back this morning. By the way, you came back so early, aren’t you afraid of the punishment from the city guards? ?”

Aaron shook his head. It seemed that the news of his return and Bruce’s return had not spread, and the news that other stations in the territory had been attacked one after another had not reached the ears of these people, otherwise Jerry would not have reacted like this. .

Aaron didn’t explain anything to Jerry, but took out a silver coin from his pocket and threw it directly to Jerry: “I want to ask you a few things.”

When Jerry saw the silver coin, he hurriedly put it into his arms full of joy, took out a large wine glass from behind, filled Aaron with a glass of butter ale, got closer, and said in a low voice, “What’s the problem? Just ask, I promise to tell you word-for-word – even if you want to ask what color underpants Miss An Geli usually wears, I can find a way for you to find out!”

“Come on, I think it’s better for you to take care of that mouth that is blowing all over the sky, and be careful that misfortune comes out of your mouth.”

Aaron naturally didn’t believe Jerry’s nonsense, UU reading www.sonicmtl.

In com’s memory, this guy is a guy with a mouth full of trains, but driven by money, it is still very reliable to ask him for some normal news.

No wonder Jerry is so enthusiastic. One gold coin is equivalent to ten silver coins, and one silver coin is equivalent to one hundred copper coins. An ordinary family of three spends about five silver coins a month.

The monthly salary of ordinary soldiers is half a gold coin, the team leader is one gold coin, but the team captain has five gold coins, and the treatment is outrageously good.

Therefore, Bruce concealed his strength at the beginning, and the goal was to secretly accumulate strength and replace the captain of a certain quasi-knight strength in one fell swoop.

Aaron looked at no one to his left and right, and joked to Jerry: “If this remark gets out and offends An Geli, I am afraid that even your eldest sister (a certain wife of the Viscount) will not be able to save your life. ”

Speaking of this, Aaron’s words suddenly stopped, obviously thinking of the fact that he had bumped into Angelique in the castle before, and her bad attitude and arrogant words towards him at that time, and he couldn’t help but feel a little worse.

Jerry’s face froze suddenly, and he smiled embarrassingly, obviously remembering the bad temper of that Angelie Leo and her extremely high status in the castle.

In order to change the bad topic, Aaron shook his head and said sternly: “Jerry, I want to buy a horse – a horse that can run fast and have endurance that can support a long distance.”

“You want to buy a horse?”

Jerry can’t react. Why did Aaron buy a horse?

Besides, when the city guards go out on duty, aren’t there temporary horses provided by the castle?

No need to buy a horse at all?

“Yes, I want to buy a horse.”

Aaron affirmed repeatedly, because—

Aaron is about to start his escape preparations for the destruction of the castle!
