Chapter 665 (1/2)
When night fell, looking down from a high altitude, every household in King Ryan's capital lit up the lights, which seemed to have a different kind of exquisite prosperity.
The empty Duke's house, located on the seventh avenue of the Kingdom, has finally quieted down again recently after a period of excitement.
However, with the visit of Cady Lacker, the first alchemy blacksmith of the former principality of Ryan, the Duke of nothingness once again successfully broke into the sight of many nobles. In fact, many nobles still don't understand that someone can become a Duke at the peak of power in less than two years, just like those fairy tales that deceive children.
With the blessing of toshawn, after the war with dabion, the archives of the kingdom of Ryan received the registration of more than 30 pioneering knights from more than ten nobles.
Ambitious people are not just aristocrats who already have status.
It is said that today Ryan's most famous bard intends to write a biography of the Duke Sean Connery.
Of course, at present, those nobles who focus on Sean's empty Duke's residence pay more attention to what Cady Lacker, the alchemist, wants to do when he goes to Sean's house.
After almost ten hours of hard work, Sean and Cady Lacker finally got a break.
At this time, Sean was taking caddy Lacker, a former alchemist from the Principality of lane who now completely placed himself as an apprentice, to the restaurant. Here, the servant and the cook have prepared the dinner in advance. Vinia, Marton, Cecilia, Rena, shefanio and others are at the same table. They still show enough enthusiasm for the arrival of Cady Lacker. After all, a high-level bronze craftsman is very popular on any occasion, as long as it is not hostile.
The time for dinner is not long - in fact, it can be said to be very short.
Perhaps because Sean comes from the earth, he always eats very fast.
Of course, in terms of aristocratic etiquette, Sean's behavior is naturally very impolite. Because according to the aristocratic etiquette, if Sean is a guest, his eating speed must keep the same frequency as the host, neither too fast nor too slow. The most perfect degree is to end at the same time when the host ends a meal; As the host, it doesn't matter if Sean's eating speed is slow, but it can't be too fast, because the time of each dish has the lowest limit, usually about 20 minutes.
However, Sean's eating habits directly omit many steps such as appetizers, pre meals and so on, which is the main course of the meal. Moreover, it often takes only five to ten minutes for him to announce that he is full. According to the aristocratic etiquette of the dinner table, once the host stops the knife and fork when he is full, it is equivalent to announcing the formal end of the dinner. At that time, no matter whether others are full or not, they should stop the knife and fork.
However, because Rena, shefanio and Cecilia have followed Sean for a long time and have been on the battlefield, they are all used to Sean's eating habits and ways. They even think that this is the most standard marching and eating speed - all the soldiers under Sean never eat for more than five minutes, so after a long time, everyone is used to not acting according to aristocratic etiquette.
As for Marton and vinia, although they are elves, they are in a wilderness area with constant war all the year round. Therefore, they have long forgotten the more cumbersome Elven etiquette compared with the human world. Compared with the speed of eating, they are only faster than Sean, so they can naturally keep up with Sean's rhythm.
The only trouble is the middle-aged Cady Lacker.
When he saw that the main course was served directly instead of other appetizers, he was really stunned. Then when he saw the other people's wolfing appearance, his appetite basically disappeared half. But for the sake of politeness, he insisted on eating a little. When Sean stopped the knife and fork, he stopped the knife and fork at the same time - or, for him, it was equivalent to liberation.
At this point, the dinner was officially over - it took seven minutes. It was because Sean was really tired after a day's work, so he ate an extra main course.
”Then, Mr. Cady, I'll arrange for someone to take you back.” Sean looked at Cady Lacker and said.
”Wait a minute, Lord Sean.” Seeing Sean turning his head to look at Rena, vinia and Marton, Cady quickly said, ”Lord Sean, I have something I want to talk to you about. I don't know...”
”Lord Sean, please allow me to leave first.” Hearing Katie's words, Cecilia said for the first time, ”the magic experiment upstairs has just been half done.”
Cecilia never embarrasses Sean in front of outsiders. Although many people now regard her as their sister, they are not related by blood at all. Only aldof, William, clough and Rena know the secret. At this time, Cecilia's words naturally showed great respect to outsiders.
Hearing Cecilia say so, other people are not fools. Naturally, they leave one by one. Of course, Sean won't have any opinion about it.
When there were only Sean and Cady left in the restaurant, Sean said, ”Mr. Cady, just say anything.”
Cady nodded and said, ”I have a few questions for Lord Sean.”
”What's the problem?”
”About the black energy burst out during forging and quenching...”
Hearing what Katie said, Sean knew what Katie wanted to say, so he didn't wait for him to finish saying, ”that's charging.”
”Charging?” Cady wondered, ”isn't that the expertise of magicians?”
”Well, you haven't practiced martial arts, so it's normal that you can't understand.” Sean thought for a moment, and then said with a more intuitive explanation as much as possible, ”there are people like me who have mastered certain martial arts skills and can start fighting. So occasionally we can charge some forged equipment, which can greatly improve the quality of the equipment and even attach some special abilities to it. ”
”Special abilities?”
”Yes.” Sean nodded slightly, ”like forging masters with fire attribute fighting spirit, if they charge the equipment, they can improve the fire resistance of the equipment or attach certain fire attribute related effects. Similarly, if it is other attributes, it can also attach some related attributes and abilities to the equipment, which is the same as the charging of magicians when making jewelry, alchemy props and even magic props. Therefore, I also call it charging. ”
”I see.” Katie nodded with some understanding, ”so in the afternoon, Lord Sean, what effect will you charge for that epic sword... Dark energy?”
”Yes.” Sean didn't deny it.
Although people with dark energy are rare in this world, they are not without them.
Magic such as manipulating the dead belongs to the magic of the dark system, but although the necromancer is disgusting and even the expulsion target of the church and countries, he has not been included in the ranks of pagans. Similarly, the warrior with dark fighting spirit will not be treated as a pagan. It can even be said that the dark energy is also one of the supporting points of the world system that constitutes this miracle continent. Therefore, even if there is no evil tendency, it will not cause the same results as dealing with pagans.
While Sean was forging in the afternoon, he finally chose to use 50% of the dark energy to charge the dead bone. Therefore, he had to consume a pilgrim's holy water to suppress the dark energy in his body, and the result of this time was not without harvest for him. At least he probably knew what the so-called ”dark servant” would be like.
”Well... Lord Sean, do those high-quality enchanted equipment need to be charged?” Cady asked again.
