Chapter 3 Linde’s confidence

After leaving Father Bain, the drunkard, Lind went directly back to his hut. Demonstrating swordsmanship in the tavern made him exhausted. When he got home, he wanted to lie down on the bed and have a good rest.

However, the severe pain coming from his back made him understand that it was not time to rest yet. He needed to adjust the position of the bandage so that the injury on his back would not worsen.

Although using dual-wielding swordsmanship caused an extra burden on the body that had not yet recovered, and made the injury on his back slightly worse, it was all worth it, because things had developed as he had imagined, and he only needed to stay Just wait for the follow-up at home.

Ever since he regained consciousness and learned that he was reborn in a world similar to the Middle Ages, he has been thinking about his future development.

Being a commoner was the first option he eliminated. Since he was reborn, he would naturally not be willing to continue to be at the bottom of society, let alone with a golden finger.

Being a businessman was quickly rejected by him, because whether in the East or the West, the status and treatment of businessmen were not very good. Unless it was a specialized commercial city-state or country, otherwise, being a businessman was equivalent to knowing how to be a businessman. Walking money bag.

Therefore, becoming a noble in this medieval world became the only choice he recognized. In the next more than a month, he thought about various ways to become a noble, and for this purpose, he imagined a large number of response plans in case of accidents. After all, he was lying in bed unable to move, and the only thing he could do was think about things.

Although the current world is not the Western medieval world he imagined, but a world of ice and fire, the social systems of the two worlds are not much different, and the various methods he imagined in his hospital bed can still be used.

However, he still needs to make some adjustments in some areas, which can help him obtain the rights and status he wants faster, such as the tournament.

Originally, he did not consider the tourney as one of the promotion paths he envisioned, because as far as he knew, only nobles could participate in the tourney in the Middle Ages, while civilians like those described in novels wore armor and participated in the tourney incognito, and after winning, they received The plot of fame and fortune is basically impossible. Those are just the novelist's imagination, because every nobleman participating in the tournament needs to go through strict identity checks, and there is no possibility for civilians to participate.

But the tourneys in the Seven Kingdoms are different. In addition to the core jousting competition of knights, the tourneys here also include team battles and archery competitions. The latter two are allowed for civilians to participate. If you win in these two competitions, You can still get honors and money. Although this is far from comparable to the honors obtained by knight jousting, it is still a good opportunity to become famous.

As long as you are famous, you are likely to be favored by the great nobles. After joining the ranks of the great nobles and gaining certain military exploits, you will have the opportunity to be awarded the status of a knight. Even if you do not join the ranks of the great nobles, you can still become a certain person by virtue of your reputation. The attendants of these knights also have the opportunity to obtain the status of knights.

Knights are at the bottom of the aristocratic system of the Seven Kingdoms. Although becoming a knight is not yet considered a noble, it is a stepping stone to becoming a noble.

Of course, Linde also thought of other ways to become a noble, such as gaining the appreciation of certain nobles with his knowledge, becoming a subordinate of the nobles such as a staff or supervisor, gradually gaining the trust of the nobles, and being knighted by them.

However, such a knighthood is very unstable, with almost no room for advancement, and there is no possibility of becoming a lord.

Just like Littlefinger, he is the representative of this kind of nobles. He spent all kinds of efforts, but in the end he still did not become the lord he wanted to be. Even though he had the identity of the lord of the valley, none of the nobles at the valley regarded him as a lord. Looking at it, even at the moment he was killed, no aristocrat stood up to speak for him, which shows how fragile this kind of palace aristocratic status is.

Now he is not worried about becoming a guard of Red Lake City, because with the participation of Father Bain, this matter should be very simple. Even if he does not have the dual-wielding sword skills given by Golden Finger, he can still become a guard of Red Lake City.

After becoming a guard, how to gain enough achievements, how to be appreciated by others to become a knight's attendant, and then become a knight is the most difficult stage. You must know that this stage is like a complete rebirth for ordinary civilians, and To accomplish this kind of change, it is not possible to achieve it only with great strength.

The best example is the mercenary Bronn. As skilled as he was, he was just a mercenary for a long time. It was not until he met Tyrion that he obtained the status of a knight by chance. Therefore, ordinary people want to become a knight. , strength is not the most important, the most important thing is to find someone who can provide you with promotion opportunities, and in Linde's heart, the Klein family obviously does not have such conditions.

When Lind was browsing the forums related to A Song of Ice and Fire in his previous life, he saw an article analyzing the size of the lords of the Reach. In this article, he also analyzed the Crane family, which was mentioned in the original book and in the TV series. There is no transparent family in Lidu with special content.

The analysis content is not very much. To sum up, there are only two words, that is, dependence. In this state of dependence, the Klein family needs to look at the face of the Florent family, the object of their attachment, for a long time. If they want to pass It is basically impossible for the Klein family to gain power and status.

But this does not mean that the Klein family is useless. In fact, there is another place in the Klein family that Lind can use, and that is Fertimo Klein, a branch of the Klein family. What is his current situation? Lind doesn't know how, but what is certain is that he will definitely become the guard coach of Highgarden. If he can connect with this line, he can use it to get involved with the Tyrell family, and in this way he can become a knight. There are much more opportunities.

While thinking about things, Linde did not stop moving his hands. He casually picked up two wooden sticks that were about the same thickness and length as half a sword from the side of the bed, and then placed a ball of cloth tied next to the pillow. Throw it into the air, then use your wrists, arms and arms to swing quickly, perform dual-wielding sword skills, and hit the fallen cloth ball so that it keeps bouncing in the air without falling to the ground.

Since Linde could sit up from the bed and move his hands half a month ago, he has been using this method to train and become familiar with the dual-wielding sword skills he received from Goldfinger.

Although Goldfinger has instilled in him a lot of combat experience and skills, this does not mean that he has mastered it. He still needs a lot of practice to fully master it.

The golden finger he got after his rebirth gave him the confidence to make his way in this world. Although his golden finger was not as powerful as some novels, it was enough for him.

He has two main golden fingers, or to be more precise, one is the golden finger and the other is the talent that comes with rebirth.

I don't know if it was because of the mutation caused by the fusion of two people's souls during rebirth that his physical quality and mental perception have become somewhat inhuman.

For example, his self-healing ability allowed him to recover from a nearly broken spine in just over a month. Other wounds that only injured the flesh only took a day or two to completely heal, which undoubtedly allowed him to recover. It will be easier to survive future wars.

However, this kind of self-healing is not without its flaws. The biggest flaw is that it requires a lot of food and supplements to support the body's consumption during self-healing. Most of the expenses he spent on recuperating for the past month and a half were spent on this. It also conforms to the law of conservation of energy.

In addition to his self-healing ability, his various senses have been enhanced to incredible levels. For example, his enhanced hearing allows him to easily hear the noise caused by bugs flying through the air outside the house, and his vision allows him to see in the air. Traces of dust drifting, etc.

This enhancement in perception was definitely a torture for him at the beginning. Lying in bed unable to move, he had to spend most of his time controlling this sudden enhancement of his senses.

Compared with the improvement in self-healing ability and perception level, the improvement in his basic qualities in terms of physical strength and agility seems ordinary. It remains within the scope of normal people and still requires exercise to produce results. The only advantage is that The effects of exercise are very intuitive.

This kind of intuition is literally intuitive, because when he is exercising, he can see an energy bar representing his physical fitness slowly increasing. Although the improvement scale is very small, it can still provide him with very important reference data. He can adjust the training method by increasing the scale.

This energy bar is derived from the golden finger after his rebirth. It is a golden finger that is based on the game For Honor and has been modified beyond recognition.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is beyond recognition. The entire relationship between Goldfinger and For Honor is only about the hero image and ability settings, and the heroes in For Honor are not complete, with only nine heroes from the Knight side.

The ability given by the golden finger is also very simple. You can directly select the illusion of the corresponding hero in your mind, and you can directly obtain the corresponding combat skills of the hero. You can only choose one at a time. If you want to choose again, you need to exercise to gain energy. The bar is filled.

Since he was in a semi-conscious state when he made the choice, and the pain in his body made him dizzy, he didn't think carefully about it at all when he made the choice. He just used the golden finger as a life-saving straw, thinking that after choosing the Hero Illusion , it can instantly restore the body to normal just like upgrading and restoring blood in the game.

But as a result, not only did his body fail to recover, but a large amount of knowledge was poured into his brain, which made him feel groggy during the few days when he made the choice, as if he had been drugged. .

When he woke up and began to sort out the knowledge that Goldfinger had instilled in his mind, he realized that he had made the wrong choice.

Under normal circumstances, Lind would definitely choose one of the two heroes, the Watcher or the Warmonger, because these two heroes are the heroes most like knights, and their combat skills are also knight skills.

But in the end, he chose Peace Walker, a hero whose fighting style is more like a dual-wielding assassin. He also tried to only accept combat skills and not implement his dual-wielding settings. He used a single sword to play Peace Walker in battle. Fighting skills, and the result is that this will make him feel strong discomfort, and the fighting skills become very jerky, as if he has never mastered this skill.

This also made Linde realize that while his golden finger was functioning, it also had certain limitations.

Although he is not very satisfied with Peace Walker's dual-wielding swordsmanship, it is enough for his current situation. All he needs to do is to strengthen his basic physical fitness after his body fully recovers, so that he has enough physical strength and strength. To use swordsmanship, instead of just using it for less than a minute like before, I was exhausted and panting.

In the next half month, Lind tried his best to become familiar with the dual-wielding sword skills of the Peace Walker every day. When he had time, he would walk around the village, and then go to Father Bain's tavern to find a remote corner to sit. Next, collect as much information as possible by listening to the conversations of the guests in the tavern.

Although Bai Village is not a big village or town, its geographical location is very special. It is right at the junction of Ancient Oak City, Red Lake City and Golden Tree City. Caravans and travelers from the three cities need to pass through Bai Village if they want to go to other cities. , so there is no shortage of guests in Baicun’s tavern, and all kinds of news can be heard here.

For example, the most discussed topic recently is that King Robert is preparing to hold a huge tourney in King's Landing to celebrate the birth of his first child Joffrey, because this is the first tourney held by the Baratheon Dynasty. The significance of the tournament is also extraordinary, and its scale must be beyond imagination. Knights from the seven kingdoms will gather in King's Landing.

However, compared to what happened in the distant King's Landing, the people in the tavern were more concerned about things around them, such as the problem of bandits.

Although the Usurper War has ended for almost a year, the negative effects of the war have not ended. The supporters of the Long family have not been completely eliminated. A large number of them hid in the mountains and forests after the defeat, and there The savage tribes mingled together and came out to plunder from time to time.

As the second richest river in the Seven Kingdoms, the Reach not only has large areas of farmland, but also a large number of forests. These forests are convenient for hiding, and the Red Lake Forest is one of them.

Half a month ago, a group of bandits claiming to be the remnants of the Long family wandered into the Red Lake Forest and established a stronghold to rob caravans that took shortcuts through the forest. Four or five caravans had already encountered them. These robbers killed and injured hundreds of people, including a descendant of the Luowan family in Jinshu City who died in the hands of the robbers.

For this reason, the Rowan family is sending people to contact the Klein family in Red Lake City and the Oakheart family in Ancient Oak City to eliminate the bandits in the Red Lake Forest.
