Abe the Wizard

Chapter 7: Father's Guidance

Dinner at Castle Bennett is always on time, because there are several knights at home, so dinner is set for 8 p.m. Today's dinner is, as always, beef, porridge, potato mash.

For economic reasons, beef does not contain spices, expensive spices can only be used by wealthy aristocrats, and those spices are transported from the elf territories of distant bi-moon forests, which, through the price hikes of elves and human traders, are already high enough to silence ordinary people.

After a quiet and cozy dinner, Abel was about to go back to his room, went to Libourg during the day, went through a battle, drove another two hours, and wanted to go back to his room and wash up.

The rest of the castle is fine, it's not convenient to wash things like that. Abel, who just got here, is not used to the hygiene habits here, but has to design his own water supply facilities.

The castle of Bennett was built on the basis of an underground spring, which, like most of the castles in the world, was basically a dead place without separate springs, surrounded by enemies, at the time of its extinction, so the castle was built on the basis of the number of springs, and the underground springs of the Grand Duke's castle were said to supply thousands of people with water for their livelihood.

The water from the underground springs of Castle Bennett is not small enough to allow hundreds of people to live without problems, and the castle contains fewer than a hundred people, including waiters, guards and their families, so the springs are sufficient.

Abel found the castle's carpenter, built a water truck powered by the discrepancy of the spring water, sent the spring water directly to a large wooden water tank made at the height of the castle, and connected it to the room by a bamboo tube that had been processed with fire. It was not that he had not thought of using copper pipes. That price was too expensive, and the cost of processing it, the castle itself had no iron ore, so he did not have his own blacksmith, and he wanted to process even iron pipes, so Abel thought of connecting them with bamboo pipes, after bamboo pipes had been burned, they could change direction, and become more durable.

A wooden bathtub for bathing and a wooden sink for washing were made in the room, even a toilet toilet, which finally gave Abel a sense of modern life.

Wood is priceless in this world, unless it's very expensive, so long as you have the strength to cut it yourself, and all the trees in the 100 miles of Knight Bennett's collar are your own. Not to mention the wages of carpenters. Carpenters in the castle are those who depend on the castle. Normally there are no carpenters to live in, and the same is true for farmland. Carpenters only let go of farmland work when they need carpenters.

The end result of this was that all the rooms in the castle had been transformed into Abel's design, and the carpenter had been awarded a confidentiality contract by the Knight of Bennett and no one should be allowed to make the system without the permission of the owner.

And this wooden castle drainage system was carefully documented and collected by the Knights of Bennett in the secret chambers of the family as the backdrop of an aristocratic family. Knight Bennett understands that the equipment itself is fine and, if revealed, will cause disaster to the family, and that the great nobles will put the technology in their own family and kill everyone they know, something that Knight Bennett has seen too much of.

After this, Abel didn't make any more inventions. When he didn't have the strength base, he made some inventions. For his family, it was a dangerous thing for himself. The world has existed for countless years. You can see the history of 10,000 years ago. It has always existed. It hasn't changed. I don't know what kind of power is keeping the world stable. For centuries on Earth, this social form can breed a new system, and the world has been operating under immutable rules for tens of thousands of years.

“Abel, you stay with Zach.” Father Knight Bennett called Abel, who was about to return to his room, and went on to say, "You are already a first-degree trainee knight, you can stay and listen to my teaching. ”

In the castle's training room, the attendant had prepared the wooden man, and Knight Bennett took a wooden sword from the armory by the wall and stared at Abel's face and said, “I was surprised to hear of your performance, a shadow leopard at the level of a junior knight, who, with Norman's help, had succeeded in killing it. ”

“On my way up, there were countless geniuses, they were more qualified than me, they were more powerful than me, they were faster than me, but most of them didn't live as big as me, you know why? ”

Knight Bennett's expression was so serious that he spoke much more than usual, and Abel had never heard so much from his father since he came to the world.

“That's because the knight's strongest shield, the fastest sword, the knight on horseback can launch an attack, the horseback can pull a strong bow, those geniuses some of them practice their speed the fastest, some of them practice their strength to the strongest, but as I come from the whole family of inherited knights, I can make myself not the fastest, not the strongest, but of the fastest, of the strongest, I am the fastest, in front of them I am the fastest to resist attack. ”

The Knight Bennett looked a little excited and shouted: "Because our ancestors gave us the most complete knight heirloom, and our family handed these heirlooms over to me for generations, and they will be handed over to you later, more precious than gold coins, more precious than weapons armor. ”

Knight Bennett threw a wooden sword at Zach and shouted, "Zach, show your brother how the knight really attacked. ”

When Zach took over the wooden sword in his hand, his eyes had changed, like a beast staring fiercely at the wooden man in front of him, as if a thousand hammers hundred refined knight defensive action sword in front of him, then he exhaled lightly, defensive action had been instantly converted into a knight strike, the wooden sword in his hand had been stabbed forward in the course of the strike, the wooden man was killed in a breath, the wooden man for a short time in the sky, Zach's sword had been in the legs, waist and throat of the wooden man three swords, the whole process was like cloud running water, all the action was like the standard of the knight's textbook.

“You can go faster.” Father's demands are always strict, and Zach, who is usually laughing, is very serious at this point in time and understands.

“Do you see clearly? This is a typical knight attack, first open the enemy's defenses with an assault, then end the battle with a fast sword. Every battle action of the knight has been perfected for thousands of years. All we have to do is follow the battle action perfectly, without having to modify it. These battle actions of the knight are summed up and perfected in blood by countless knight predecessors. ”

Speaking of which, the Knight of Bennett seemed to think of something with a mocking tone of voice: “There are always some so-called geniuses who want to change these combat moves, and none of the geniuses I encounter are alive. ”

“All you have to do is turn these combat moves into your body's instincts, let your body remember it, and at any given time you move faster than you think. ”

Abel is now awake from the pride of killing Shadow Leopards during the day, and his little intelligence is completely useless for real knights, or apprentice samurai like Big Godzak, who are educated in formal inheritance.

In the following days, Abel practiced knight combat during the day, wearing iron armor at night for muscle compression, and practiced knight breathing before going to bed.

And every night the amount of beef is much higher than before, and every night Abel can divide as much beef as Big Brother, and in a silent family, Abel always feels like his father has made a decision.
