Chapter 330: Let Tokla return
After inspecting the city wall construction site, Kashin looked at the bustling construction scene and felt deeply moved...
He had never seen so many people working together. The densely packed figures dazzled him, and his ears were filled with the sound of various tools colliding and people shouting.
With this scale, he felt that he was spending money like water. The magic coins he brought back were just enough to fill the gaps between his teeth. The alchemy of each stone, the salary of each craftsman, and the meals of each laborer were like a bottomless pit that devoured his funds.
One month later～～
Cashen lived and practiced in Sheldon Castle for more than a month. During this peaceful and fulfilling time, he devoted himself to the ocean of knowledge and finished reading the Hunter's Heritage of Van Helsing, which was highly summarized by Grandpa Nick.
This masterpiece, which is defined as a high-quality super hunter secret book, has a total of more than one million words.
"Grandpa, you wrote more than one million words for the primary inheritance. The experience theory and skill summary are extremely solid. After transcribing it, let Emily go to the Magic Academy to make a batch of skill memory stones. If it is an illiterate adult, it will take five years to remember them all. It is a rare masterpiece," Kashen's tone was full of admiration and amazement.
"Haha, I can't wait to write them all down. The elementary secrets have come to an end. The subsequent practice only needs to follow the intermediate and advanced levels step by step. Our scouts' theory will be perfected in the future, and we will be able to pass down a group of good soldiers...", Grandpa Nick laughed heartily, with pride shining in his eyes.
After reviewing it, the grandfather and grandson discussed making skill memory stones. In this way, Sheldon Castle could be said to have a family that inherited martial arts skills, which could be passed on to the scouts using skill memory stones.
Today, the merchant group, under the protection of Jean Toque's scouts, brought back 10,000 kilograms of grain. Behind this was a thrilling battle.
Another secret church organization was wiped out, and these foods, weapons, and armor were transported back at great risk.
Tok knew how precious resources were and was reluctant to waste them, so he sent someone back to the city to tip off the enemy and thus made the trip armed with the merchant caravan.
The armed forces of that church hid in the mountains for many years, farming and practicing on their own, and gradually formed a village, almost isolated from the outside world.
The church's armed forces were growing stronger and stronger, and outstanding talents were selected and trained. They sneaked into the city through insiders and used the money given by the church to do business or buy land.
After being deeply brainwashed, they devoted their lives to the Lord, so after several years, they developed several generations in the city, and the consequences were disastrous.
The real backbones are trained in isolated villages in the wild. They cannot be disturbed by secular culture, so they are absolutely loyal.
With the information from the Assassin's Guild, Jean Tocque decisively led his troops to massacre a small mountain village 200 miles away. The gold coins found were divided among the whole army. Anyway, Sheldon Castle would not take care of this matter. The batch of food sent back was a great achievement.
They had lived for an extra month, and Tok waited for them to harvest a batch of wheat before he started. There were basically no living creatures left, such was the cruelty of the struggle.
Although the bloodbath in the small mountain village was cruel, under the circumstances at the time, it might have been a helpless act to protect their own interests and safety.
Kashin didn't know that the scouts had returned from transporting food to rest. He was concentrating on forging hair-thin steel wire in the family's blacksmith workshop, and his concentration reached the extreme.
The blazing fire reflected his resolute face. The hammer flew as he forged the red-hot material forcefully again and again.
The material he used was already first-grade steel that had been tempered a hundred times. Under his hammering, the steel wire became about as thick as an ear pick, but he was not satisfied and continued to make it gradually thinner.
After his strength was qualified, he has been working on his hammering skills, challenging the most delicate blacksmithing skills, even though it is an extremely difficult task that requires great patience and precision.
Even so, when Kashin tried to make the steel wire as thin as a sewing needle, he failed again as expected. However, Kashin was not angry, but just smiled slightly. There was no frustration or defeat in that smile, but instead revealed a sense of determination and calmness.
He just calmly continued to clamp the iron and put it into the furnace to burn it red, adjusting his mood and preparing to start forging again.
"Captain Kashin, you are so serious, practicing here..." a voice came.
"Mr. Jean Tocque, are you back from the training? When did you come back?" As he spoke, Kashin took out the shavings and carefully placed them in the sand to cool naturally. Then he washed his hands and chatted with Jean Tocque.
"I just came back and saw that the captain was very focused. I didn't dare to disturb him, so I've been waiting here for half an hour..."
"Why didn't you remind me earlier, causing Mr. Jean Tocque to wait for a long time? I'm sorry..."
"It's okay. The Knights' kitchen is urgently preparing to cook. I have nothing to do, so I came to see the captain..."
"Haha, let's go! Let's have lunch at my manor, have a drink and chat..."
I saw a Ranger Eagle standing on Jean Tok's shoulder, with its wings growing stronger and stronger. It looked so majestic that he must have cultivated it from an SSS-level pet egg.
They sat down in the manor's small living room, where ice cubes were placed to cool off. They enjoyed their iced drinks first to cool down.
"It's great. The ice in the captain's house is free and we can use it as we please. When the support staff saw us coming back, they quickly delivered ice to the tent. It's great..." Jean Tocque said excitedly, his face full of joy and satisfaction.
"That's right. Soldiers need to rest well to have enough energy for training. They also cherish the good life now. No one wants to be eliminated and lose the high-quality life in the army. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for civilians, and no one is willing to let it go, so the chance of advancement has increased significantly..."
Kashin responded, his eyes full of expectations and confidence in the soldiers.
Military life provides civilians with the opportunity to change their destiny. In order to maintain this rare high-quality life, soldiers train hard and continue to improve themselves, which is not only conducive to the strength of the army.
Kashin listened to Jean Tok's report on the training with a serious expression, his brows slightly furrowed.
More than 20 people came back today and needed to be treated. This number made him feel depressed. What was even more worrying was that five of them had already reached the level of advancement. Although advancement meant an increase in strength, the risks that came with it should not be underestimated.
After all, having five more officers to lead troops in battle is extremely important for the entire team, and this method can also motivate other soldiers to be proactive to a certain extent.
Only through actual combat with real swords and guns can all soldiers truly understand their own defects and shortcomings, and thus clearly understand how to train specifically after returning to improve their abilities.
However, facing this situation, Captain Kashin had a different view. He shook his head and said slowly: "The training time of these five people is too short. It is not enough to support their smooth advancement. Even if they have mastered the skin breathing method, their training speed will be relatively faster, but at most, they have been trained for less than a year. It is far from enough to just understand the basic theory! It is almost impossible to successfully advance in such a short time. Therefore, I decided to give them another year of training and ask them to study the relevant theoretical knowledge more and not rush. I cannot agree with this matter."
After saying this, Kashin's eyes were extremely firm, as if he had made up his mind to protect the growth path of these young soldiers.
