Chapter VII Father's Guidance
The dinner time at Bennett Castle is always on time. Because there are several knights in the family, the dinner time is set at 8 o'clock in the evening. Today's dinner is as usual, beef, porridge, and mashed potatoes.
Due to economic reasons, there is no spice in the beef. Only the wealthy nobles can afford the expensive spices. Those spices were transported from the elf territory in the distant Double Moon Forest. After the elf and human merchants increased the price, the price was so high that The point where ordinary people slap their tongues.
After the silent and warm dinner, Abel was preparing to go back to his room. He went to Fort Lee during the day. After a battle, he drove another two hours. Now he wants to go back to his room to wash up.
The rest of the castle is good, but it is inconvenient for things like washing. Abel, who just came here, is really not used to the hygiene habits here, so he can only design a set of water diversion facilities.
Bennett Castle was built on an underground spring. Like most castles in this world, if there is no separate spring, the castle is basically a dead place. After being surrounded by enemies, the castle will die, so The construction of the castle is based on the number of springs. It is said that the underground springs of the Grand Duke's castle can supply thousands of people with domestic water.
The underground spring of Bennett Castle is not too small, enough for hundreds of people to live without a problem, and there are less than 100 people in the castle including the servants, guards, and their families, so the spring water is enough. .
Abel found a carpenter in the castle, built a waterwheel powered by the drop of the spring water, and sent the spring water directly to a large wooden water tank made at the height of the castle, and then connected by fire-processed bamboo pipes When I got to the room, I didn't think about using copper pipes. The price was too expensive. In addition to the processing cost, the castle did not own iron ore, so it didn't have its own blacksmith. I wanted to process even iron pipes. There was no way to start, so Abel thought of using bamboo pipes to connect. After the bamboo pipes are roasted, they can change direction and become more durable.
A wooden bathtub for bathing, a wooden washbasin for washing, and even a flush toilet were made in the room, which made Abel finally find a sense of modern life.
In this world, wood is really worthless, unless it is very precious wood, as long as you have the strength, cut it yourself, all the trees in the Bennett Knights territory within 100 miles are your own. And the carpenter's wages are not to mention. The carpenter of the castle is a person who lives on the castle. When there is no carpenter's work, he also has to work in the farmland. Only when a carpenter is needed, the carpenter will put down the work in the farmland.
The end result of this incident was that all the rooms in the castle were changed to what Abel designed, and the carpenter was also signed by Bennett Knight to a non-disclosure contract. Without the owner's permission, no one can make this set for anyone. system.
And this wooden castle diversion system was carefully recorded by Knight Bennett and stored in the family's secret room, as the heritage of a noble family. Knight Bennett understands very well that this equipment is fine for his own use. If it is revealed, it will bring disaster to the family. Those great nobles will keep this technology in their family and kill everyone who knows it. This kind of thing Bennett Knight has seen too much.
After this incident, Abel did not invent any more inventions. When he did not have the foundation of strength, inventing some inventions was very dangerous for his family and himself. This world has existed for countless years. Seeing the history of 10,000 years ago, it has always existed and has not changed. I don’t know what kind of force is maintaining the stability of this world. Like on the earth, this kind of social form can breed new people in hundreds of years. system, and the world has operated according to immutable rules for tens of thousands of years.
"Abel, you stay with Zach." Father Knight Bennett stopped Abel, who was about to return to his room, and said, "You are already a first-level apprentice knight, you can stay and listen to my teaching.
"
In the training room of the castle, after waiting for the wooden man to be ready, Knight Bennett took a wooden sword from the weapon rack by the wall, then stared at Abel's face and said, "I heard you The performance of a shadow leopard at the level of a junior knight, although with the help of Norman, you, a first-level apprentice knight, successfully killed it, I am very surprised."
"In my growth, there are countless geniuses. They are higher in aptitude, stronger than me, and faster than me, but most of them have not lived to my age, do you know why? "
Knight Bennett's expression was very serious. He said much more than usual. Abel had never heard so many words from his father since he came to this world.
"That's because the knight's strongest shield is the fastest sword. When a knight mounts a horse, he can launch a charge, and when he dismounts, he can pull a strong bow. Some of those geniuses practiced their speed the fastest, and some of them practiced their strength to the maximum. Strong, but as a knight family with a complete inheritance, I can make myself not the fastest, not the strongest, but I am the strongest among the fastest, and I am the strongest among the strongest. The fastest, I am the most resistant to attacks in front of them."
Knight Bennett shouted excitedly: "Because our ancestors gave us the most complete inheritance of knighthood, and our family has handed over these inheritances to my hands from generation to generation, and will be handed over to you in the future. Compared with gold coins, compared with precious weapons and armor, inheritance is the most precious wealth."
Knight Bennett threw the wooden sword to Zach and shouted, "Zach, show your brother how a knight really attacks."
When Zach took the wooden sword in his hand, his eyes had changed, staring fiercely at the wooden man in front of him like a beast, as if the knight's defensive action had been tempered with the sword in front of him, then he let out a sigh of relief, defensive action Has been converted into a knight charge in an instant, UU reading www. uukanshu.com In the process of charging, the wooden sword in his hand has been thrust forward, and the wooden man was killed in one breath. During the short time the wooden man was in the air, Zach's sword was already in the wooden man's legs, waist and throat. The three strikes in a row, the whole process is completed in one go, like a cloud of water, and all the movements are like the standard of a knight's textbook.
"You can go faster." Father's requirements were always strict, and Zach, who was always smiling, nodded earnestly to show his understanding.
"Did you see it clearly? This is a typical knight attack. First use the charge to open the enemy's defense, and then use the fast sword to end the battle. Every combat action of the knight has been perfected for thousands of years. What we have to do is Completed perfectly according to the combat action, there is no need to modify it, these combat actions of the knights are summed up and perfected by countless senior knights with blood and life."
Speaking of which, Knight Bennett seemed to have thought of something and said with a mocking tone: "There are always some so-called geniuses who want to change these combat moves. No one of the kind of genius I've encountered is alive."
"All you have to do is make these fighting moves your body's instinct, make your body remember it, and at any point you move faster than you think."
Abel has only woken up from his pride in killing the Shadow Leopard in the daytime. For a real knight, or a trainee warrior like his eldest brother Zack, who has received a formal inheritance education, his own cleverness is completely useless.
In the following days, Abel practiced knightly fighting movements during the day, put on iron armor at night to practice muscle compression, and practiced knightly breathing before going to bed.
And the amount of beef every night is much more than before. Every night, Abel can get the same amount of beef as his eldest brother. In a silent family, Abel always feels that his father has made a decision. .
