Chapter 240: Vision
Crown's eyebrows slightly raised, Melissa's progress was beyond his expectation.
The ability of the golden light spell is improving day by day, and his spiritual sense is also much stronger.
Now he can feel the strength of the life magnetic field of living things and use it to roughly judge the strength of others. This ability has only been discovered by him in recent days.
The halo of golden light circulated in his eyes, and the world changed colors in his eyes. He called this derived ability 'spiritual vision'.
Those inanimate objects are left with a monotonous gray-white color, while the living creatures appear in a variety of colors.
William's body shone with a white aura, soft and bright, and his lungs were a light orange-red.
The body of ordinary people will show a faint white color under spiritual vision. If the person is not healthy enough, it will show a little bit of gray matter.
Del's body surface is mainly covered with light green light, and the orange-red color on his abdomen and chest is much deeper than that of ordinary people, with a little orange-red light extending outside the body.
Melissa's body was covered with a large area of dark green aura, while the aura in her internal organs was orange.
Judging from Crown's limited experience, green indicates health and vitality, which means that the person's life force field has reached the level of a transcendent, while orange-red most likely indicates the ability to cast fire spells.
The color of his own body was emerald green, like the green reflected by the riverside in the forest after rain. His chest and abdomen were covered in large patches of orange with a faint silvery glow.
Outside the body surface, there is a mixture of bright silver and bronze light, with a thick metallic texture and the illusion of the still flow of time.
"Yes, I made that promise."
Crown raised his voice slightly, and his originally gentle voice became majestic and solemn: "What are you prepared to pay?"
Bai Nu's ticket is not good. Investment is not about doing good things for others. The purpose of investment is to get generous returns. He believes that the other party knows what he means.
Melissa knelt down on one knee, lowered her head and bowed forward.
Her left hand was placed horizontally on her knees, and the fingers of her right hand were spread out on the ground:
“I would like to be the sharp sword in your hands and a pioneer in opening up new territories.
I will face strong enemies bravely, and I will be loyal to my friends."
This is a knight's oath of allegiance to his lord. Under the impact of the industrial revolution in recent years, the glory of the nobles has long been not as glorious as it used to be. But Melissa, who comes from a traditional noble family, is determined to restore the family's former glory.
In the eyes of her lowered head, the flames of ambition ablaze.
During this period of time, she did not deliberately inquire about anything, but from the few words of the housekeeper and the bishop's current status, she understood that as long as she hugged the lap of the person in front of her, she would be half successful.
As the bishop in charge of a diocese at this point in time, she understands the weight and glory of this identity, which means that the church values it and its own strength.
There was amusement in Crown's eyes, and the other party swore allegiance in an ancient ceremony, which was meaningful.
According to normal etiquette, if he accepts the other party's allegiance, he will lightly touch the other party's neck and shoulders with the back of his sword.
But this time is different from the past. The situation when he was training Del was that he really had no one available. Now he is qualified to make a good selection.
“Get up, I will provide you with better treatment now, and I will only accept your allegiance after you prove your ability.
You are responsible for recruiting fifty ordinary soldiers for training. If more than thirty of these people can advance to become extraordinary after one year, you will be considered qualified.
Make a training plan and I will provide sufficient supplies of necessary supplies. "
His current foundation is in the church, but he does not have a personal armed force. There are some things that he cannot rely entirely on the church.
We are about to own a property, so we can’t protect private property by deploying troops from the church every day, right? !
With his current financial resources, it is more than enough to afford the expenses of dozens of low-level transcendent beings.
He has not had much contact with the dark side of human struggle in this world, but that does not mean that there is none.
After he spreads his industry, he will always deal with all kinds of people, not to mention various cultists. All of these require strong force protection. No matter how strong he is, he will not be able to do all the work.
When Melissa heard what he said, she was not discouraged but was ecstatic and happily agreed:
"You will be able to see the results of my hard work, and you will not be disappointed."
Seriously speaking, they had not established much trust, so this rejection was reasonable, and there was still room in the bishop's words.
Training soldiers is not difficult for her who has strictly received knight education. With the current spiritual level of the world, coupled with excellent training methods and adequate nutritional intake, ordinary people with excellent physical fitness can be trained into knights. It's not very difficult.
Of course, there are indeed difficulties, and they are relatively big, but the greater the difficulties, the more her abilities are revealed.
She decided to carefully select candidates and conduct rigorous training to complete the task ahead of schedule.
The stronger your ability, the more you will be valued.
Crown nodded slightly and raised his hand: "Get up and talk. What kind of breathing method are you practicing?"
By asking his subordinates about their breathing methods, he can provide them with the treatment they need most.
"I practice the breathing method passed down from my family, which is similar to the widely circulated silver fox breathing method."
Knights with agile breathing methods are not suitable for large-scale group combat battlefields. People on all sides will restrict them from exerting their advantages, so they are suitable for small-scale contact battles.
Crown leaned back and frowned slightly, saying, "How do you deal with the auxiliary potion for practicing breathing?"
Even for him, without the auxiliary potion, his proficiency did not increase quickly.
"I can prepare the potion myself. Thank you for your concern."
"That's good."
At this time, William said:
"If Melissa trains soldiers for you, the position of the housekeeper will be vacant. Someone will be needed to take over her original job and arrange the affairs of the maids."
Crown said, "You arrange it."
The housekeeper is responsible for the housework. There is not much housework in the mansion now. In addition, he also believes that William can promote the right person.
After discussing the matter, the others got up and left. Crane began to study alchemy, mainly in the direction of explosives.
After all, he was a person who received chemical education in his previous life. Compared with the natives here, his thoughts will have more inspiration from another world.
That night, he carefully read the basic part of the book provided by Fecat, and found that he had already started alchemy and increased his proficiency a lot.
[Alchemy: 398/3000; First Level]
After acquiring the skill, he was not in a hurry to start experiments to improve his proficiency. Improving this skill was a necessary but not urgent task.
He returned to the bedroom, called the two pets, and visualized the Golden Light Mantra.
An hour later, he ended the visualization and began to refine the Moon Essence.
He has not delayed the refining work for a single day in the past few months. Currently, the amount of Sun Flame Liquid and Moon Dew is not much. After refining a few more times, he can stop this time-consuming work.
Sun Essence and Moon Essence can also be transformed back into the original materials. This transformation only takes a few seconds to complete.
The Golden Light Talisman and the Pure Heart Talisman can also use Sun Essence and Moon Essence as materials. Similarly, the Pure Heart Mantra, Golden Light Bodyguard and Sun Flame Technique can also use high-level materials, but he does not have such extravagant capital.
. . . .
The next morning, when Clown came to the church in armor, he found that someone was already waiting at the gate.
Tula Baiyang greeted enthusiastically: "Good day, sir."
Crown smiled and replied: "Good day. Please go to the training ground and wait for a while. I will see if there are any urgent tasks today. The training ground is on the left side behind the church."
The other party was so anxious to give experience, he couldn't refuse it at all.
"Okay."
Tula agreed, and the two separated.
As long as Crown was in the Sanctuary, he would meet with the other two bishops every morning to confirm whether there were any tasks today.
Although he was idle most of the time, he still had to have this attitude.
When he came to Fanny's office, Nick was there too.
Nick asked in confusion: "What are you doing, wearing armor?"
This good friend has a metal spirit, which can cover the body with a thin but amazingly defensive armor. Now, even in combat, he no longer wears armor.
The weight of advanced armor is about 20 pounds. For a third-level extraordinary person, this weight is not a burden at all, but the other party gave up this layer of defense for faster speed.
"I have an appointment with Tula to learn swordsmanship."
"Although Tula is a priest, he has a very high talent for swordsmanship. My father is very optimistic about his ability.
He is arrogant and proud. If he doesn't recognize a person's strength, he won't bother to pay attention to him.
He must have seen your strength during the battle in the mining area, so he took the initiative to show his goodwill."
Fanny said, handing over a document:
"This is a list of equipment that needs to be produced recently. Those specially marked parts need to be rushed.
The mining area will be able to resume production soon. When the first batch of materials is transported here, you will be busy."
Crown took the document, glanced at it, and smiled: "No problem."
It will take a few days for the mining area to start mining, and he still has free time.
Most of the production tasks are ordinary refined metal equipment, which can be completed by the blacksmiths recruited by Del.
The remaining few extraordinary equipment forging tasks will not waste a few days with his strength.
He was glad in his heart that it was indeed the right choice not to be the head of the parish. It was more suitable for his development to work in an idle position.
"Anything else?"
If nothing, he would go to the training ground. One more minute would give him 60 more seconds of experience, and actual combat could quickly improve his sword skills.
He had already thought about it, and this time he would first upgrade the level of the cross sword.
Nick said: "The Archbishop has a new order. Lorente Town is now under constant attack. Although the use of a large number of guns and bombs can resist the attacks of fishmen and deep divers, the third-level extraordinary people on the front line began to hear whispers at night.
That is the whisper of the evil god. Maybe it won't be long before the second-level extraordinary people, the first-level extraordinary people, and even ordinary people can hear the whispers.
The defenders of Lorente Town must strictly implement the rotation tasks. In our parish, I will take the rotation next month, and Fanny, you will arrange the third rotation the month after next."
