Chapter 8 Martial Arts Master
On the day of the summer solstice in the year 1024 of the Gregorian calendar, the sun was hanging in the sky. It had not rained in the past month. The hot sunshine made the grass on the ground a little wilted, and the bees and butterflies were gone.
The farmers in the fields drove their cattle and horses to the fields at dawn, and used columbines to sow peas, chickpeas and soybeans that the young master bought from overseas pagans two years ago in the fields where wheat had been harvested. .
This summer is hotter than previous years. Around 10 o'clock, the farmers had to stop their farm work and take their cattle and horses to rest under the shade of the trees at the edge of the fields.
Fortunately, there are many large and small rivers in Wesenland, and there are water trucks to carry water, so there is no worry about drought in the fields.
On the edge of a farmland near Weissenburg, a group of farmers were blowing in the wind under the shade of trees and discussing strange things on the mountains in the distance.
Not long ago, several people discovered that the scenery on the mountain was distorted. It was the cemetery of the Wesson family.
The farmers thought something big had happened there, and some thought they were dizzy from the heat.
Whether the farmers were faint or not, Frederick in the cemetery didn’t know. Anyway, he was a little dizzy, and Afu had already fainted and almost hit Frederick’s great-grandfather’s head. On the tombstone.
Just now, old Wesson's friend Richard Nall came to the tomb. His extreme sadness made him lose control of his emotions, and the power he released had a huge impact on the surroundings.
The power of the Sword Master is so terrifying!
A memory came to Frederick's mind. In his previous life, a buddy in the university dormitory went out to sea to fish. One summer, a rich guy in the dormitory chartered his family's fishing boat and invited everyone to experience going out to sea. When fishing, someone is responsible for seasickness.
At this time, he clearly knew that he was standing on the grass of the cemetery, but he felt that he was standing on the rough sea. Everything around him was undulating and swaying, and he had to adjust his center of gravity to avoid falling.
In Richard Nall's eyes, his old friend's young son was like a pin struck by a bowling ball, swaying but not falling.
He stroked his beard, narrowed his eyes slightly, and made a decision in his heart.
Frederick finally stopped after shaking for a few minutes. After he stood still, he heard Richard Nall say calmly: "Let's go."
Richard Naal turned and walked towards the cemetery gate. , when passing by Afu, he kicked his thigh with his foot and sneered: "Stop pretending."
Afu got up expressionlessly, as if nothing happened. After that, he followed Richard Nall and Frederick out of the cemetery.
“There were many people who wanted to know me after I became famous, but Henry was the most special among them all.” Richard Nall told Frederick about the past, “He saw me for the first time. When I was there, I asked me if I could dig a hole in the river ice in winter in a dark place and fish would come out of it.”
“At that time, many people wanted to recruit me. I thought. Henry is trying to build a relationship with me through my hobbies.”
"After we got along for a long time, I found that he really just wanted to ask about any good fishing places on this land."
"Four years ago, when we last met, he told me , you are a smart little guy, I will take care of the territory for you when you grow up in a few years, and then hire me as a bodyguard to go to the rainforest in the south, the ocean in the west, the ice sea in the north and the end of the east to see what I can catch What kind of fish?”
A smile appeared on Frederick’s lips, his father could indeed do this.
"He has gone fishing in the Milky Way now." said Frederick. "I think he will keep the Pisces."
Richard Nall laughed and stretched out his head to touch He touched Frederick's golden hair and said: "If he doesn't keep it, I will beat him every day."
The corner of Frederick's mouth twitched, and then he was startled and asked in surprise: "Your Excellency, you plan to stay here?"
"You are not welcome?" Richard Nall asked.
Frederick scratched the back of his head and said, "I'm afraid there aren't enough pig knuckles in the territory."
Richard Nall smiled and knocked the little guy on the head.
He continued: "Over the years, I have traveled to many places, fought with countless warriors, and witnessed countless martial arts skills."
"Now I need to find a place to settle down, refine my martial arts skills, and take on students."
Frederick immediately said happily: "Okay, now I'm at Brombach Lake The manor has opened a Weisenberg University. I am the principal. Now I can appoint you as the vice principal, where you can concentrate on studying martial arts and teaching students. ""I have Jurgen and Lothar here. , Andre, Gade, Heinz, Bernd, Matthias, Stefan, Oliver, Michael, Miloslav and other promising young people, they will definitely not humiliate them. Your name.”
Except for Franz, the older generation of Wesen leaders have all passed away. The new generation is still young. If there is an internationally renowned one, Sword masters and scholars from Constantbul teach that the sky is the limit.
Richard Nall’s favorite thing to eat is Weisenling’s roasted pork knuckle. This kind of roasted pork knuckle is made by cutting a few slits into the pork knuckle and smearing it with a sauce made of salt and cheap spices before putting it in the refrigerator. Marinate it at low temperature for two days, then put it into the stock and cook it. Remove the sauce and water from the pig skin, then apply a crispy water made of honey, wine, vinegar and water. Finally, dry it and bake it in the oven over high heat. , put it on a plate with a layer of sauerkraut after baking.
Frederick felt that if Richard Nall was willing to open a class at Weisenberg University to accept students, it would be no problem to treat him to nine meals of roasted pork knuckle in three days.
Richard Nall looked at the kid who was counting his heads with his hands and was dumbfounded. Anyone else would have understood the hint that he wanted to accept him as his disciple. In the end, this guy was lucky. His duties and work were arranged first. , not only did he not consider himself, but he also did not talk about the salary.
“Have you never considered yourself?” the swordsman said angrily, “or do you mean you don’t dare to go to the battlefield?”
“You haven’t mentioned the salary of the vice principal for a long time. How much? You want to use roasted pork knuckles as salary, right?”
“It’s hard to buy honey for roasted pork knuckles, so forget it.”
Frederick was stunned for a moment, scratched the back of his head and said: "I'm afraid that my qualifications are too low and I will insult your reputation."
"Honey... Oops! How could I forget this!!"
Richard Nall saw the little guy startled and asked curiously: "Why, what other idea did you think of?"
Frederick replied: "I thought of it. A kind of sugar that can barely replace honey!"
Richard Nall said with a smile: "If there was such sugar, honey would not be so expensive."
"Don't tell me it's lead candy, that thing is poison!"
"No, no!" Frederick's head shook like a rattle, "Sugar made from pure grains, not poisonous, the price It's much worse than honey."
Richard Nall shook his head slightly and said: "Stop wasting food. How many people have tried to replace honey, but no one has succeeded in so many years. "
Frederick said confidently: "No problem, I can definitely make it!"
Richard Nall continued to shake his head. There are many people in the world who want to make candy! That's gone. The closest thing to success right now is sweet wine, which is far from sugar.
"You can try." He entered the elder mode, fearing that the son of his old friend would go astray. "But you can only use the same amount of food as your weight at most. If you exceed this amount, you must stop and give up this idea from now on."
Frederick has not lacked nutrition since he was a child, and has not lacked it for generations. Now he has grown to 1.3 meters and weighs 30 kilograms at the age of eight.
He thought for a while and said confidently: "I will definitely succeed in the first try!"
Richard Nall touched his head and said: "If you really succeed, If you do, I will accept you as my disciple."
Frederick thought for a while and said to him: "If it succeeds, we will split the profit from this business half."
Richard Nall just smiled, treating it as a child's whim.
A few days passed like this. During this period, Frederick asked Afu to go to Mingxing City in the south to buy glutinous rice imported from the south. Because of the water transportation, the price was not very high, so the locals occasionally tried to Use them freshly to cook porridge.
On the last day of June, Richard Nall scooped up a little maltose with a spoon. After observing it for a long time, he took a sip, and his face immediately became solemn.
