Chapter 422 421. Karl's preparation
Recently, Dacie Christie had completely disappeared from Suldak's life, and it was difficult to see her figure even in the sword gym.
The stubborn and proud red-haired woman was like sea foam, disappearing into the wind in the next second.
The apprentice knights in the knight academy are still as diligent as ever. Even in winter, the ground has been frozen hard, and the riding training ground is still full of apprentice knights waiting to practice charging. It was a swollen nose and a swollen face, and it was more likely that the bones were broken, but this group of young people still rode their horses without hesitation, and launched a fierce charge against the wooden man in the training ground with knight spears in their hands.
Karl was sitting on the wooden stand beside the training field. The north wind was blowing so violently that it felt like a knife was blowing on his face, but he didn't feel much. He raised his head to look at the gray sky first, and his eyes fell on On Suldak who was walking slowly leading the horse.
Suldak threw Gu Bolaima under the stands, climbed up to the stands without spectators alone, and sat side by side with Karl.
"Finished?" Suldak said as he took off the Craftsman's Sword from his waist, put it flat on his knees, and took out a whetstone to sharpen the edge of the Craftsman's Sword carefully.
He can see that Carl has some emotional problems. He seems to have been deeply hit by the incident at the Fornaker Manor and has never been able to recover.
Carl nodded with a silent expression, and said with a sad face: "I went through each house personally, handed over the pensions to their families, and promised that the children in the family will be recommended by the guard camp in the future." What's the use of studying at the Junior War College in Hailansa City? People are already dead, so what's the point of doing these things for those who died?"
He hasn't said that Captain Sauron has been urging him to re-form the support team outside the city, but he has been dragging him.
"Maybe they also want their family members to live a happier life!" When Suldak said this, his throat was a little dry.
Karl leaned on the stand seat, his eyes fell on the trainee knights who were constantly charging on the field, his smile was full of bitterness, and he said: "When I was the team leader, I only had five or six knights in my hands. Their temper , hobbies, and personal strengths are all well known to me. Every time I receive a mission, everyone will go out together. After completing the mission, I will rest in the city for a few days. I wander around the city for half of the time every month. I feel that the squadron leader of the support squadron outside the city is high above the ground, and I feel that standing on a high place, the scenery in my eyes must be very good, so I admire that position very much, and scramble to climb up, but now I sit in this position, but I find that it is not so good at all. What happened, not only did not see the most beautiful scenery in my heart, but the responsibility on my shoulders was even heavier."
"Karl, don't you think you are tired of being the squadron leader of the support team outside the city?" Suldak asked in surprise.
Carl shook his head, squeezed out a smile and said: "Of course not. I've been thinking about how to improve myself recently. I want to go to the Advanced Knight Academy in the spring for a period of time to improve my personal abilities."
"Are you going to prepare for the Constructed Knight?" Suldak asked him.
After being promoted to be the squadron leader of the guard battalion, Carl had a chance to go to the advanced academy to improve himself. He looked straight ahead and said, "This may be something that every squadron leader needs to consider! After becoming the squadron leader, the salary has increased a lot , Counting some of my own savings, plus I can get some support at home, it shouldn’t be too difficult to raise a sum of money to buy the magic pattern structure, and there are channels for customizing the magic pattern structure in the guard camp.”
Suldak is currently enjoying the benefits of the captain of the guard battalion. He has a salary of about 30 silver coins per week. Counting the various subsidies for missions, he will get about 35 silver coins.
If it is at the squadron leader level, the weekly salary should be about 50 silver coins, which means that Karl’s annual salary is about 30 gold coins, and a complete set of magic patterns needs at least 150 magic crystals. , if Carl is required to pay for it himself, the interest will not be considered if Carl does not eat or drink the principal that can repay the debt within 30 years. If the family can share half of it for Karl, it will be a big burden for Karl.
Suldak didn't know if Karl had his own private property. Thinking of the two windfalls he had obtained in succession recently, the money bags of the two magicians, Cyrus Hickok and Marion, all fell to him. It counted that there were fifty magic spar alone, so he said to Carl: "Well... if you don't have enough magic spar and you need help, don't forget to tell me!"
Karl didn't expect Suldak to say that, looked at Suldak in surprise, and asked in disbelief: "It seems that you really made a small fortune?"
Suldak smiled slightly, and said noncommittally: "Every magician is a mobile treasure house! That Marion is certainly no exception."
Carl showed gratitude, looked at Suldak and said, "It must be much more difficult for you to save some money than me. After all, there is no family support behind you. As long as your life in the future is tighter, you should be able to make it together."
Carl hesitated for a moment before saying: "What I mean is... In fact, if you really have such conditions, you should also think about planning a magic pattern construction. The gap between the construction knight and the knight is definitely bigger than you imagined. Among them, they are much larger. Only Constructed Knights can face Nacoma Warriors, Nibru Spiderman Warriors, and Ghost Warriors on the battlefield. In the Grimm Empire, only the Constructed Knights under the command of the lords will be defeated. Be regarded as a true knight order."
Constructing a knight? Suldak thought that he had been studying the magic-weave breeding equipment for the past few days, but he had no clue, so he said vaguely: "Actually, I have been making some similar preparations recently, but many things are just written on the magic sheepskin. On paper!"
When Karl heard Suldak say that he was preparing for the construction of the magic pattern, he immediately agreed with him and said: "You are right if you think so. With your current level of strength, if you can have a set of powerful primary magic pattern Construct, in the future, it will definitely become an existence second only to Captain Sauron in strength!"
"If you could have listened to me and chose the territory of the general to be near the Fornac Manor or the Red Pine Forest, you could have opened a lumber mill there, and then you would have started the timber business, although the competition in the Hailansa timber market is a bit fierce. , but good wood is still easy to sell.” Speaking of this, Karl changed his decadent state, put one hand on Suldak’s shoulder, and said emotionally: “Dak, do you want to go out for a drink?”
