"Black Tide... Monsters, so many monsters..."

"Don't eat me...Don't eat me!!"

He suddenly struggled from the soft bed, and two or three healthy women on the side could not even hold him back. The man was at least a trained warrior. Shi Yi noticed a thick calluse at the mouth of his palm, which was a sign of frequent use of weapons.

This remote place is rare to encounter such a thing, so as the masters, Claude, Fessette and Cassandra all gathered here, and they all learned from the man's crazy words and roars, what he had encountered.

It seemed that he encountered a strange and terrifying black tide first, and in the dark tide, all kinds of evil white ghosts and beasts began to appear in large numbers... This man was sometimes awake and sometimes manic. Even if he sorted out the information, he could only get so much effective information.

"What, the White Walker. I think this uncle encountered a thief and had hallucinations after being seriously injured." Kassandra studied medical skills in the seminary. Although medieval medical skills were closer to witchcraft, she mainly relied on priest magic to heal injuries and treat diseases, but she still knew more than ordinary villagers, knowing that people would have too much bleeding and vision in extremely frightened states.

"I hope so, I feel a little uneasy." Although Fei Shiyat, with long silver hair, is already very talented at her age, her decisiveness cannot reach a high level. What is the level that a college student in modern society can reach in his early twenties under the bombardment of countless classic books and information? What's more, Fei Shiyat does not have the environmental foundation of standing on the shoulders of a giant to look down at all living beings.

If the plot is allowed to continue like this, the strategic first-hand advantage will be lost. Therefore, Shi Yi had to stand up and speak:

"What he said is probably true. His palms are full of calluses of swords and old sword wounds. Even if such a war-torn person is killed by a thief of ordinary level, it is probably not enough to destroy his mind and become what he is now. What's more, I just noticed the wound on his back. According to the knowledge taught by Teacher Richard, I can be sure that it is not a wound that can be caused by any human weapon. It is difficult for normal beasts to reach that height and hurt the back of a senior cavalry."

"Or, even if what this guy said was fake, like what Kassandra said, it was caused by vision. That would at least mean that there was a group of very powerful thieves nearby, and we can't react to it."

After Shi Yi finished saying this, he found that the surroundings were quiet, Kassandra and Faithyte's sister, who were blonde with short hair, were both looking at him with a frightened look.

"What's wrong? Are you all looking at me like this?" As she said, she touched her hair. This silly and silly look made Fei Shiyat breathe a sigh of relief, and she smiled and shook her head.

"Ah! My brother looked so handsome when he analyzed it just now, he was focused and serious. You say it again, will you say it again?"

Fortunately, Sister Fei Shiyat is here, otherwise, looking at Kasangor's extremely bright eyes, Shi Yi only felt that he would be "ewed" on the spot, and even a little bit of slag was left.

"So, what are you going to do in the face of this situation?" Fischart asked as he stared at Claude Afal.

"Put all the money in your hands to buy important materials such as food, wood, iron ore, weapons, and at the same time, train local militia guards, hunters and lumberjacks in the town of Thackeray. They can become qualified soldiers with just a little training."

"Okay." Fei Shiyat nodded after hearing this.

"As the contemporary head of the Afar family, I will support you no matter what decision you make in Claude. Remember, this home is yours, you are the only man in this home, and you must take on the responsibilities you should bear."

In fact, from Feychet's standpoint, it was a bit too arbitrary to make such a decision directly, but seeing that Claude finally grew up and showed the courage of the Afar family man in the face of crisis, she felt that even if Claude's judgment was wrong, it would be worth it to lose all the funds she had accumulated over the years. As long as Master Claude is willing to work hard and bet on the final fortune of this family, it would be worth it.

In recent years, because Fischer was well-managed, Claude did not have much habit of degenerating aristocrats except for his love and Cassandra. Therefore, the Afar family's finances have improved little by little. When the money was sold for land and replaced the territory, there were still 50,000 gold coins left. The next day, Fischer personally took 48,000 gold coins to Atlas, the largest city nearby, and left two thousand gold coins for Claude and Cassandra to train the local militia in the fief Thackeray and acquire supplies from the surrounding towns.

The 50,000 gold coins were probably the cost of playing one or two cards in the hands of the extravagant nobles, but the actual purchasing power was actually very amazing. This was the remaining gold coins after selling the original final fiefdom of the Afar family and replacing it with the current Thackeray. Therefore, Fei Shiyat did not take care of herself, and she was not at ease no matter who handed the money to.

On the other hand, the smart and capable Fei Shiyat left, leaving only the stupid/simple and cute Kassandra by his side, and Shi Yi could also show his strength. While he expanded the castle's annexed manor, warehouses, and town taverns like he had a grudge against money, he kept sending people to purchase supplies from small towns around him.

The medieval castle-affiliated manors also had the functions of farmland and animal husbandry. To put it bluntly, it was to build small, simple city-states and continuously expand their land.

But for a remote town with basically net population outflow, this is unnecessary, because there is no sufficient population support, and even if it is expanded, it will eventually become deserted due to the lack of manpower management.

For a moment, the name of the silly boy in the lord's family was spread all over the world. The farmers were holding the money of the Afar family and laughing at the aristocrats as fools. Of course, they were afraid to deal with life, because although the young master of the Afar family was stupid, the witch housekeeper Fei Shiyat was not easy to fool. When this family first arrived in Thackeray, on the one hand, it was a noble document, and on the other hand, Fei Shiyat directly roasted several local thieves alive, so that they could establish prestige.

However, in Shi Yi's opinion, Fei Shiyat's technique is still too rough, with prestige, only authority, no confidence, how can it be?

It is not enough to gain stable and solid power through this.

…………………

Although it was in the slack season, the entire town of Thackeray was mobilized due to the intervention of the Afar family, so people came and went, and the sounds were heard.

On this day, Shi Yi brought a golden short-haired loli Kasandra to the large warehouse under construction. Then the noble boy riding a traveling horse shouted to the crowded men below: "After two clocks, whoever you hold this log to the hotel, will I give five gold coins as a reward!"

Hearing the lord's words, the men who were working looked at each other in a hurry, feeling a little unbelievable about such good things as pie falling from the sky, but there were still many five gold coins, and some of them said, "Let me say it." Then they wanted to go forward.

"I'm talking about two clocks later. Of course you can hold it now, but I won't give you money." Move the wood and move the wood Jianxin. Of course, the more people know about this, the better the effect. Therefore, Shi Yi intends to spread the news more widely.

Sure enough, in this era when there were no cultural and entertainment activities, the matter of moving wood and giving money quickly spread, and in a clock, it basically spread throughout the town of Thackeray.

At this time, swordsman Edu Hani and swordsman Woolf were drinking in an expanded tavern/hotel in Thackeray town. Now the whole world is full of dark tides, and the strong black fog itself has seriously interfered with the normal life of human beings. Moreover, there are a large number of terrifying creatures in the black fog. Edu Hani and Woolf were looking for asylum in the big city, and they were planning to leave after a little rest.

However, this incident of "moving wood and giving gold" attracted Edu's attention.

"The lord here seems quite interesting. Woolf, should we go and have a look?"

"The noble lord is just playing with the untouchables. Do you really think he will give gold coins? Such a lord in a remote place is stingy and shameless." The bald strong man Wolf said this. Hundreds of years ago, during the Frost Wolf era, people had surnames. After hundreds of years of rule by the Frost Wolf Dynasty, because of the aristocratic legislation, civilians now have no surnames, and all those with surnames are nobles.

Like Fisit and Kassandra were all civilians who had no surnames, but after marrying Claude, they could have the surname Afal.

"It may not be as you said. I think the lord here is still very ambitious. He will expand the manor, expand the warehouse, expand the hotel, and the remote geography here is conducive to defense. He may have noticed something. If he develops with all his strength, he may not be able to defend when the dark tide arrives!"

At the greeting of a friend, although the bald strong man Woolf was unwilling, he followed him in the end. At this time, they happened to see a relatively strong lumberjack walking here with a log in his arms and panting.

When he finally arrived, a handsome young man riding a traveling horse with a sword around his waist really took out his purse and handed it to the other party twenty pieces.

"Thank you, thank you!"

These twenty gold coins are worth the hard work of his years, so the strong man was very grateful and very happy.

"Master, Master, let me move again, let me move!"

"Master, I'm strong, let me move."

Seeing that the expected goal had been achieved, Shi Yi was quite satisfied with sitting on the horse's back. He glanced at him. When he fell to the crowd next to the two strong men in leather armor, his pupils suddenly dilated:

"????, Occupation: Swordsman, Level: Level 24, Talent and Qualification C, Rating: 98. Special Note: Experienced swordsman with many battles has received a good education, so he has quite outstanding martial arts and command skills.

Core skills: tactical command, the troops he commands will all increase their offensive and defense values."

"????,Profession: Swordsman, Level: Level 26, Talent and Qualification A, Rating: 64. Special Note: A fierce beast with many battles, bloodthirsty and fighting. With the development of the times, his growth limit is far from being limited to the present.

Core skills: bloodthirsty, the more you kill, the more excited you are, and your personal basic attributes will be improved."

(The middle-aged man with a square face over there should be a nobleman. Although he is now in a down-and-out position, he still has etiquette and is quite magnanimous. Although his growth coefficient is lower, his score is almost the highest at this level. And that big bald man, rude and rude, full of beastly nature, is obviously a warrior from a civilian... A-level qualifications can grow to a very terrible level in the future, but with my current strength, it is probably difficult to subdue such a person.)

Although he just glanced at him, Shi Yi had made various relevant judgments in his heart. As he continued to adapt during this period, the remaining power of the Yanhuang God became more and more in line with this world of mind, helping Shi Yi to accelerate his growth. He could judge a person's basic information and growth coefficient at a glance.

Ordinary civilians are E-level, with almost no information. The stronger ones are D-level and C-level. Every higher level, the growth coefficient of career level promotion will be higher, while B-level is a senior talent, and the talent reaches A-level, which is the only one seen in this period of time.

The rating is the ability score within this level. The 100 score of D level is probably not significantly different from the 60 score of C level. In the short term, of course, if the difference in occupational level is too big, then even if the talent and qualification gap is very large, the D level C level can still crush senior talents with high growth coefficient such as B level A level.

Kassandra is now like this:

"Cassandra, 16 years old, occupation: priest, level 18, talent and qualification level D, rating: 92. Special note: Innocence, faith and devout pastor, lively and playful, and believe in the god of loving nature. Due to failure to strictly abide by the doctrine of God, the talent and qualifications have decreased.

Core skill: Healing technique, which can heal the holy light of the God of Love and heal mild injuries."

As for Fei Shiyat, because before she left, the remaining energy of the Yanhuang gods had not yet fully adapted, she did not know her message.

"Everyone, go to the militia training ground, if anyone does the next thing, then I will pay him fifty gold coins!"

On the one hand, Shi Yi's integrity has been established, and on the other hand, there is really no entertainment in this era, and the days are just passing by day. Therefore, when suddenly encountering such an interesting thing, the people followed in groups, only feeling fresh and interesting.

After coming to the militia training ground, Shi Yi turned over and dismounted. After cutting a range with his long sword from all sides, he said to everyone present: "Using the training weapons over there, whoever can defeat me will take away fifty gold coins. Of course, I have been trained in swordsmanship since I was a child, so I allow you two to join forces."

As he said that, Shi Yi went to the wooden weapons pile on one side, picked out a thick heavy sword with two hands, and walked back to the militia training ground.

Although Shi Yi said that he had received sword training since childhood, looking at the thin and beautiful boy on the training ground, the stout civilian still asked worriedly: "If we break the lord, we won't be hanged, right?"

"Yes, even if you don't blame me, the butler will send us one by one to the stolen rack when he comes back!"

"This is Thackere, the territory of the Afar family, and I am the head of the Afar family. Don't worry, as long as you can defeat me, not only will you get the money, but no one will hold you responsible afterwards!"

After such repeated guarantees, two civilians finally couldn't help but tempted a lot of money and picked up wooden weapons. Edu Hani and Woolf, who were watching, still disagreed. They were both experienced warriors, and naturally they could see a person's strength from their body. A person like Lord Claude Afar, who is fair and tender in skin and slender in body, does not look like a swordsman who has been practiced for a long time.

Fighting is ultimately a confrontation between speed and strength!

However, the battle between the three people on the training ground did not last for more than twenty seconds. When the heavy two-handed sword danced in the hands of the slender young man, he seemed to be flying. His entire body was completely pressed on the sword body, and his body moved with the sword force, dancing faster and faster, and the more he danced, the more fierce he became.

The most terrifying thing is that in this state, the young man could control the sword force and did not cause too much damage to the two civilians. He just knocked them down and it was done.

"This... is this the noble's advanced swordsmanship? It does not exercise its physical strength at all, and uses its skills to display huge lethality!" The bald strong man Woolf was shocked at this moment. He never expected that there was such a type of martial arts in this world.

"No, I haven't heard of it. Uh, maybe my family has been declining for too long, so the information has been lost. I used to hear that Frost Wolf was circulating a palace sword technique called "White Crow", but it seems to be rated as flashy and only applicable to the Armorless Sword!?"

Just now, the sword skills shown by this Claude are not the legendary style that only applies to the style of fighting without armor. This style of big opening and big sword splitting is most suitable for dancing big swords on the battlefield to break heavy armor.

In a blink of an eye, Shi Yi had already let go of the four waves of civilians. Although these people were not injured, no one was willing to go up and be beaten for no reason. At this moment, they finally believed that even though they seemed slender and thin, the nobles who were proficient in swordsmanship were still different from those of them, and they could not win.

Shi Yi is also deliberately creating this effect. The people are surrendering to the strong after all. It is not bad in peace. When a great disaster comes, a hero needs to stand up and take charge of most of the power, and make the right choice.

"One hundred gold coins, four people, as long as you can beat me or force me out of the circle, you can take away one hundred gold coins!"

Because Shi Yi's successive victory in a row, he showed his might. The blond little loli Kassandra, who was also riding on a trip, was so excited that she was so cute and tender that she looked like a ripe red apple at this moment. If Fei Shiyat was here, she might even doubt the origin of Claude's swordsmanship in front of her, but Kassandra... was over. If Shi Yi didn't explain it to her, she would figure it out by herself.

But at this moment, a strong and fierce man with a bald head pushed open the training ground where the crowds around him rushed around. This guy's face was full of flesh and his arms were thicker than the thighs of ordinary farmers, especially his eyes were fierce. The honest ordinary farmers would be silent and afraid just by being watched by him.

"Little nobleman, I want to fight you. You won't count your 100 gold coins, right?" Woolf said this, and moved his arms and body while talking. The bulging muscles seemed to have their own life, and even looked a little disgusting.

Of course, muscles will look good when growing on handsome men (Eng Yuyan), and growing on ugly men will make people feel a little disgusting. This is really an unfair social reality.

Seeing the guy Woolf coming out of the crowd, a faint smile appeared on Shi Yi's mouth. Although he was not sure to defeat the guy Woolf, how could a hero with A-level growth coefficient not take any risks or pay a price if he wanted to conquer it?

(Honors of all time ago, the hero I trained in this world was a tank? A big man like Olmedo would have to train him again in a few hundred years. Actually, I hate this kind of repetitive homework, but as long as it is effective and easy to use, it is not unacceptable.)

Such a thought flashed through his mind, and then Shi Yi said, "One hundred gold coins are boring. I bet a thousand gold coins, but if you lose, I want you two to be loyal to me and serve me for two years."

(Two years later, you all have no place to go to drive you, so please serve me for the rest of your life.)

If Shi Yi was talking about "buyout", then Wolf might still hesitate to think about it, but when he heard the other party say it was just "leasing", the lease period was only two years. After looking at Edu Hani, Wolf smiled wildly and nodded in agreement.

"Little bastard, I want to crush your bones inch by inch, making you cry and call dad!"

Two heavy two-handed swords were picked up from the pile of weapons. The bald man Woolf rushed to the weak noble son Claude Afar with a fishy storm. This bastard seemed to be not taking a bath for the year, and his body odor was as strong as a beast.

Of course, this may also be his deterrent force.

A calm mind and a clear mind.
To be continued...
