Chapter 69 Simon Returns
When——
A burst of fire suddenly burst out, the scimitar in Eric's hand rose slightly, and the light wrapped around Goyle's half-sword hit. And scattered.
If it had been any other first-level extraordinary person, he would have been shocked to the point where his hands would become numb and his mouth would burst open.
But as a user of earth fighting energy, Gore poured most of the force he endured onto the ground beneath his feet. Two floor tiles suddenly exploded behind him, and smoke billowed out!
At the same time, Link had already charged forward with a half-sword in his burning hand, and the blade was pointed directly at Eric's throat.
The latter took half a step back to avoid the edge of the sword. He took off the steel shield behind his back with his left hand and was about to throw it at Link's weapon, but Volaf saw the opportunity and stabbed him with his sword. The shield is in the center.
Because it is not an enchanted weapon, although this blow is wrapped with fighting spirit, it cannot leave a trace on the enchanted steel shield. However, the cold ice fighting spirit covers the surface of the shield with a layer of frost. This slowed Eric's movements by three points and allowed Link to retract his weapon.
Mosingan finally saw the opportunity, roared and slashed his head with the sword in both hands. Eric also roared, the scimitar in his hand was soaked with fighting spirit, and the silver and blood complemented each other, causing a wave of excitement. Xinghui crashed away.
Mossingan took three steps back and hit the wall, but Eric had no time to pursue him and dealt with Link's successive attacks.
The first confrontation, four against one, evenly matched!
"Okay, let's stop here." Raven clapped his hands and attracted everyone's attention: "We are leaving in ten days. Don't hurt yourselves. Let's continue. Train your troops and strengthen and master your fighting spirit!”< br>
Although there are still some unfinished ideas, everyone will not disobey Raven's order: "Yes, Lord Baron!"
What Raven wants to know is their fighting ability, not really. They decide victory and defeat, life and death.
From the encounter with Lei Wen just now, it can be seen that these four people cooperate well with each other, but they do not know the characteristics of their respective fighting qi very well, and because they have just condensed the seeds of fighting qi, they cannot control the fighting qi. , the total amount is unsatisfactory.
Although they can fight Eric to a close fight at first, if they continue to fight, with Eric's stronger battery life, richer extraordinary combat experience, and stronger fighting spirit, these four people will definitely be defeated. .
Leaven didn’t want to dampen their morale before setting off.
"You have all become extraordinary, I have to work harder!" Raven shook his shoulders and held the staff in his hand.
The god-given potion and iron core have been delivered and used successfully. Raven thought that nothing major would happen before departure.
But the next day, he encountered a small "surprise".
In the study room, Raven was speechless as he looked at the documents compiled by Fiona in his hand. He looked at her and then at the documents, feeling quite uncomfortable for a moment.
The handwriting is indeed very beautiful and clear, much better than him, but why is this plan so...
Damn it!
"Did you do this yourself?" Raven asked, suppressing the anger in his heart.
Fiona showed a hint of pride in her eyes, nodded, and glanced at Raven expectantly, as if she was waiting for praise.
But what greeted her was not a compliment, but a strange scolding: "I said you were a talent? Talent, how dare you put this thing on my desk?"
"...!" Fei Ona's breath froze and her eyes widened. She didn't know why she was being scolded.
"I don't know, right? Then I'll tell you where you're wrong." Lei Wen sneered, picked up the document and read: "Look at what you wrote, 'Plan to purchase 50,000 kilograms of sawdust. Mixing it with couscous at the raw material stage can not only extend the storage time of couscous, but also save large quantities of Food! '"
"This is something that a person can write? You hand it to me and you expect me to praise you, right?"
Fiona's head He dropped even lower, tears streaming down his eyes, and his breathing began to become irregular, causing him to choke.
"Cry, you really have the nerve to cry!" Raven looked at this look and became even more angry: "You are really reading so much that your brain is damaged. I am very busy now and have no time to teach you. I wrote this rubbish Take it back and think carefully about what’s wrong!”< br>
“When I come back from the bloody heights, I hope to get an answer!”
With that, the parchment document was dropped on Fiona’s head with a snap. The strong air blew up her hair.
Fiona shrank her neck, curled her lips, and tried not to cry. She lowered her head to pick up the parchment, and left Raven's study aggrievedly.
"Alas...you are just looking for trouble for me!" Raven sighed, lowered his head and continued to study the Elvish language.
On the other side, Fiona wiped away tears and returned to Old Gordon's office. When she came to her desk, she left the paperwork on the desk, then lay on it and cried.
Old Gordon was startled when he saw this: "Fiona, what's going on? Who bullied you?"
Fiona did not respond.
Old Gordon no longer asked, but stood up and walked to her side, picked up the document, and read it carefully from beginning to end, with a smile on his old face that couldn't help but laugh:
“You just showed this to the Baron, so you were scolded, right?”
"Well..." Fiona's voice was muffled.
“It looks like you still don’t know why?” Old Gordon asked again.
"The Baron also asked me to think about it carefully." Fiona sat up and pulled her hair from her red face, her face full of dissatisfaction: "But there is nothing wrong with this document. Well!”
“I tell you, it’s your own fault. If you had shown me in advance, I would have scolded you even more harshly!” Old Gordon said.
“But why?” Fiona’s voice was filled with confusion and grievance: “I obviously proposed this plan the last time we met, and the Baron even praised me. How could I fall into this situation? In actual practice, he will scold me instead?”
"Eh...you, you have really used all your talents on numbers, and you know nothing about human relations." Old Gordon sighed: "Who do you think the Baron is? Those people in your stereotype have nothing but noble birth. A waste? Or as long as you can dig out some gold coins, even if you die, A miser who doesn’t care about many people? “If that’s the case, how could he keep you and give you a salary of five gold coins a year?”
Fiona frowned. Shu Zhang seems to have accepted Old Gordon's explanation, but has not completely let go of the matter.
Seeing this, Old Gordon continued to explain: "The last time the Baron praised you, it was because you showed the agility he wanted and dared to propose solutions to problems, rather than agreeing with the solution itself. . ”
“Otherwise, given the wisdom of the Baron, wouldn’t he be able to think of the solution you thought of? It’s just that he doesn’t bother to do it!”
Fiona suddenly uttered two words in her mouth: "Hypocrisy!"
"You kid, why can't you understand what people are saying?" Old Gordon's anger suddenly rose: "This is not hypocrisy. , this is wisdom!”
“Furthermore, you can only tell others’ faults, but you are not hypocritical yourself?”
"Me?" Fiona looked at Old Gordon: "Grandpa, how could I be hypocritical?"
"What did you tell Baron Raven that day?" Old Gordon's The voice became more and more serious: "You said that the first step in the construction of Eagle Town is the school, which can provide a large number of outstanding talents."
"But can this proposal you planned make Eagle Town rich? A group of hungry serfs, do you expect them to go to school to study? Or do you expect them to build Eagle Town well?"
"This ...I..." Fiona was stunned by the question, and her eyes began to turn red again.
"So next time you plan, do it more than you think!" Seeing that she still couldn't figure out the key, Old Gordon said: "From today on, I don't need you to help me handle the accounts. Your only task is to think about what mistakes you made and why you made them! When will you figure it out and come back to help me?"
Hearing these words, Fiona suddenly panicked. She stood up and begged: "Grandpa, I..."
< br>This time Old Gordon hardened his heart: "That's it."
Fiona lowered her head and whispered feebly: "I understand..."
In the next few days, a large number of war supplies were subcontracted and stacked in the courtyard of Eagle Fort, making everyone They all realized that a war was imminent.
The operations of Eagle Fort are becoming more and more militarized, and everyone is as busy as a gear on a war machine.
This also shrouded the entire Eagle Castle in a tense, orderly and depressing atmosphere.
At noon on the fourth day before departure, Raven had just completed a meditation and was about to ask Petty to bring lunch when he suddenly heard a loud noise.
He felt a little angry. Why was it in chaos before he even started?
Getting out of bed, Raven was going to see what was going on when Petty had already knocked on the door.
Open the door and face Patty. The latter was slightly surprised and quickly saluted: "Baron!"
"What happened?" Raven asked.
"...Simon is back, and some servants don't know him, so there is a little confusion." Petty explained: "But the problem has been solved!"
"Don't you know?" Raven was stunned for a moment: "After Simon left, we didn't seem to recruit new servants?"
"Forget it, don't worry about it, where is Simon, let him come over to see me!" "
Petty hesitated for a moment: "Mr. Simon is inconvenient to move now..."
This sentence was vague, but Lei Wen also understood the meaning behind it. After walking hundreds of kilometers for so long, he must have encountered a lot of trouble: "Then take me to see him!"< br>
But when Raven saw Simon, he was still shocked by his miserable condition.
Raven knew now why the servants had failed to recognize him, and even he could not connect the man to Simon at first sight.
At this time, Simon was lying on the bed in the medical room. He was originally a handsome young man, but at this moment he was completely thin and out of shape.
The blond hair is dry and messy, mixed with dust. The originally white face is dirty, with a few frostbite cracks, like dry land. The flesh on the cheeks is so thin that it is sunken, revealing His hands were covered with frostbite when he arrived.
The leather armor on his body also became tattered, with no fewer than six or seven arrow holes and scratches, and blood stains almost soaked it through.
There is another scout lying on the bed next to him. His name is Barry, who was born in Goldshire.
"Where are the others?" Raven asked.
"...the only ones who came back are the two of them, Lord Baron." Petty said.
"Then, did they bring anything with them?"
"No..."
"...I know." Raven's eyes twitched. He ordered: "Find a few maids to come over and take care of them, and immediately ask Priest Lux to come over and help them diagnose and treat them."
"Vlaf! Call Eric and the others over immediately and tell them that Simon is back."
