Above the mage!

Chapter 450: Solon County Rock Wind Guard
The first game of the day is over.

The number of spectators in the sword hall is constantly increasing, and the cheers are mixed with the noise of the new influx of people.

Obviously, this was a very effective warm-up game.

Even for those "gamblers" who are used to watching all kinds of exciting fencing matches, Gao De's reckless fighting style is still rare.

The splashing blood made their adrenaline surge and they entered a state of excitement ahead of time.

Because of this excitement, the audience tends to place more bets in the following fencing matches.

But this has nothing to do with Gaode.

His mission for the day ended here.

Waving his hand to refuse the staff of the sword gym who came up to the ring to help him off, Gao De dragged the blood-stained steel sword and walked down the ring with steady steps.

His body was covered with open wounds, with blood oozing out from them occasionally, so that every step he took would leave deep or shallow footprints on the floor.

But his expression was unusually calm, as if he was an unconscious iron golem.

This contrast caused the audience to burst into even more enthusiastic cheers.

Although this was Gaode's first game, his performance has made many viewers remember the swordsman "Shan".

As long as he can continue this performance, perhaps win two or three more games, even if his swordsmanship is still relatively "low-level", he can still be promoted.

"Mr. Shan, please come this way." The waitress in black gauze who received Gao De yesterday came over to greet him.

She changed into a low-necked lace shirt today, revealing the fair skin on her chest, and her tone was three times more attentive than yesterday.

Following the waitress, Gao De walked into the internal office area of ​​the sword hall.

"Mr. Shan, do you need treatment in our sword hall? Although it is not free, for swordsmen like you, our charging standards are based on cost price. Compared with the outside world, we can save a lot of treatment costs." As they walked into the long and narrow corridor, the waitress asked softly in a gentle voice.

"No need." Gao De spat out two words "coldly".

To put it bluntly, his main purpose of coming to the sword hall was to "self-harm" to trigger [Adaptation].

Isn't it contradictory to go for treatment after suffering all this?
Then Gao De looked down at his wound.

Pain is inevitable, but fortunately with the blessing of the Dharma Ninja body, he can fully endure this pain.

In addition to the pain, Gao De also clearly felt that the wounds all over his body were slightly itchy.

This is the wound healing.

Because his body's recovery ability has been [adaptively] increased to 79.6%, his injuries heal much faster than others.

And now, stimulated by this "tragic" injury, [Adaptation] is working frantically, and his body's recovery ability is rapidly improving at a steady pace.

Having witnessed Gao De's previous "fierce" performance in the ring, the waitress was not at all surprised by Gao De's current stiff reaction.

Mr. Shan is such a cold-blooded swordsman!

The cold-blooded swordsman is a man of few words, which fits his character.

Although Mr. Shan's swordsmanship is not as sophisticated as that of other swordsmen, he is younger than other swordsmen.

Perhaps in a few years, Mr. Shan will become an ace swordsman like the Silver Throat Swordsman, so I must maintain a good relationship with Mr. Shan.

The waitress said secretly in her heart, and her walking posture unconsciously became more graceful and swaying.

Once again, I came to the oak door of the fat manager's office. Before the waitress knocked on the door, the fat manager's laughter could be heard through the door.

"come in."

After the waitress opened the door, the two walked in.

The fat supervisor first frowned, staring at Gao De's bloodstained clothes with his cloudy eyes, and scolded the waitress: "Why don't you take the mountain swordsman for treatment first?"

"I said no." Gao De took the initiative to speak, his voice hoarse and calm.

“Oh” The fat supervisor is a shrewd man. He has been in this line of work for so many years. What kind of weird things has he not seen?
So he didn't ask why, but reached into the drawer, took out a small bag of Plantagenet coins, and stuffed it into Goder's hand.

Godard glanced inside casually and found that it contained 30 Plantagenet coins.

"Hmm?" He raised his eyebrows. According to the regulations, the reward for a game was 10 Plantagenet coins, and there was an additional reward of 5 Plantagenet coins for winning, which made a total of 15 Plantagenet coins.

"The additional 15 Plantagenet coins are extra for Mountain Swordsman as a celebration of his victory in the first match." The fat on the fat supervisor's face trembled with laughter.

More importantly, Gao De's fighting style today was unprecedented in their sword hall and was extremely effective in stirring up the enthusiasm of the audience.

If Gaode can keep fighting for a long time, he will sooner or later become a golden brand like Yinhou.

Therefore, he was willing to pay more Plantagenet coins for it.

Of course, in the opinion of the fat supervisor, Gaode's style of play is destined to be difficult to sustain in the long run.

After all, if you walk by the river often, you will get your feet wet. If you keep recklessly risking your life, you will die sooner or later.

It is a good idea to refuse free money. Gao De did not bother to be polite with the fat supervisor and directly stuffed the small bag of Plantagenet coins into his arms.

"Please arrange another match for me in two days." He said again.

"Ah?!" Gao De's request made the fat supervisor's pupils shrink slightly. He suspected that he had heard it wrongly. He glanced at the injuries on Gao De's body and said, "Swordsman Shan, your injuries are so serious. Can't you rest for a few days and heal your injuries well?"

It's not that he has a kind heart. In fact, he wishes Gao De could play in the game every day so that he can make a fortune.

But he still understood the principle of slow and steady progress. Swordsmen willing to participate in the competition were a scarce resource and could not be wasted in vain.

The injury is so serious, two days is not enough to recover. If he goes into the game with such an injury, wouldn't that be suicide?
"Just arrange it for me." Gao De did not explain, but said in a cold voice.

The fat manager was stunned for a moment, then he flipped through the book on the table again and said, "Then it will still be the first game of the opening. Is that ok?"

"Okay." Gao De nodded, without saying any more nonsense, and left on his own.

Watching Gao De leave, the fat supervisor let out a long sigh and said to the waitress who had a large area of ​​skin on her chest exposed: "The origin of this mountain is not simple. It seems that they use our sword hall as a whetstone."

Despite this injury, he still had to play again two days later, which shows that he is confident that he can heal the injury within these two days.

Only advanced potions and spells can achieve this in such a short time.

The fact that the mountain can obtain this kind of resource shows that its origin is not simple.

With such a background, why would he risk his life to participate in the wet fencing competition in their sword hall? It can't be just to earn a few dollars, right?

Considering how young he is, the answer is obvious. He is obviously a pure swordsman who is obsessed with swords and wants to improve his swordsmanship.

The fat supervisor had no objection to this.

Anyway, no matter what Gao De's purpose is, as long as he participates in competitions in the sword hall, he can earn a lot of money.

After leaving the fat supervisor's office, Gao De took off his ragged clothes in the locker room beside the corridor, bandaged himself simply, put on a new set of clothes, and left the sword hall through the back door.

Increases physical injury recovery ability by 79.8%
In just less than ten minutes, the body's ability to recover from injuries has begun to adapt.

And this will be an ongoing process.

Until all his injuries are healed, [Adaptation] will continue to be triggered.

The price is that you have to force yourself not to use external treatment methods, endure the pain, and rely solely on the body's self-healing ability to recover.

For outsiders, this may be difficult to do.

But Gaode had evolved the [Body of Dharma Ninja] first, and had a strong tolerance to pain, which just happened to help improve his adaptation progress now.

As more and more bodies evolve, this invisible linkage and mutual assistance will become more and more frequent.

This is somewhat similar to people who are good at running. When they do other sports, they generally get started faster and perform better than others.

You can endure it, but the pain will not disappear just because of your ability to endure it.

In addition, the densely packed wounds did look a bit scary, so Gao De wisely chose to recuperate at home, practice the "Qingmu Changsheng Sutra", construct a spell model, and no longer go out.

That thirty-year-old dragon bird blood fungus has powerful medicinal properties.

Because Gao De was not far from completing the first stage, he did not consume all the medicinal power of the Dragon Bird Blood Fungus at that time, and some of the residual medicinal power remained in his body.

This part of the precipitated medicinal power will slowly dissipate over time.

Therefore, Gao De has been seizing the time to digest the remaining medicinal power that is dissipating.

It is worthy of being a magical plant specializing in the Plantagenet Dynasty. Even though he is already a second-ring wizard, the Dragon Bird Blood Fungus still has a very obvious effect on improving his wizard level.

On the emerald green magic crystal condensed by the Qingmu Changsheng Sutra, the sixty-first magic pattern was already looming and was about to condense.

The progress is encouraging.

The next day.

Gao De's injuries were less than half recovered, except that the bleeding stopped. However, his plan to recuperate behind closed doors had to be terminated.

Because the staff sent by the Sea Sentinel came hurriedly and said that there was something important and asked him to go to the Haiyuan White Tower immediately.

Important things?

After Gao De made a quick calculation, he guessed that the promotion application must have been approved.

Once things are decided, the process is still very fast.

After all, it was submitted for approval personally by a figure like Lieutenant Colonel Grayling, so how could the person in charge of the approval dare to neglect it?

There was no reason for Gao De to refuse such an occasion.

He had no choice but to cast [Disguise +] on himself to hide the horrific wound that his clothes could not cover, then went back to the bedroom to change into the uniform of the Shanghai sentinel, and then hurried to the Haiyuan White Tower.

The organization of the Sea Sentinels originated in Byrow County, was launched in Byrow County, and its mission scope was also limited to Byrow County, but it was not under the jurisdiction of Byrow County, but was under the vertical management of the Plantagenet Dynasty.

The mages of the Sea Sentinels are all talented mages, and with abundant resources, they have trained too many high-level mages.

This is a huge and powerful military force and strategic resource, which can only belong to the dynasty.

This can prevent local aristocratic forces from colluding to monopolize the resources of the Sea Sentinels, and at the same time prevent them from colluding with the Sea Sentinel mages, taking advantage of the Sea Sentinel's position to engage in illegal development and threaten the foundation of the dynasty's rule.

Another point is that the mages trained by the Sea Sentinels are an important resource for the dynasty, and vertical management also makes it convenient for them to be deployed when needed.

Under this management model, the Sea Sentinels can decide on their own about lower-level rank promotions, but higher-level rank promotions need to be reported to the dynasty and decided by the dynasty.

The promotion to the rank of warrant officer is neither big nor small. After all, it is an official level, which is just the level that needs to be reported to the dynasty.

Although the territory of the Plantagenet Dynasty is not as vast as that of the Holy Empire, which occupies most of the Nolan continent and spans the three continents of Midgard and Terra, it is still considered vast.

For the convenience of management, there are two cores in Dynasty.

In essence, it is the "Two Capitals System".

The first core is naturally the capital of the Plantagenet dynasty, the City of Glory.

The Glorious City is located in the upper center of the Plantagenet Dynasty.

Therefore, the second core was established in the South Coast Capital in the most prosperous Forth County in the southern region of the Plantagenet Dynasty, with jurisdiction over four counties including Byrow County.

Its power is neither too great nor too small, and it is under the jurisdiction and supervision of the Royal Capital. However, it is able to execute many government orders, making it a very useful secondary capital of the City of Glory, including approving the promotion of military ranks within the Sea Sentinels.

Gao De's military rank promotion was through the Nanbinhai Jishu, so the approval was completed so quickly.

Arriving at the Haiyuan White Tower, under the guidance of the staff, Gode met Captain Merrick and an official from the South Coast Jishu who was wearing exquisite official uniform. There were several entourages behind the official.

He was a middle-aged man with an extraordinary demeanor. Upon seeing Gao De arrive, he immediately took out the document and read out the promotion order without hesitation: "Sergeant Gao De, accept the order!"

The other party's voice was full of energy, and the wax seal on the edge of the unfolded parchment scroll was bright red like blood, which was the exclusive mark of Nanbinhai Jishu.

Gao Dewei straightened his expression and listened carefully to the order of promotion.

It basically summarized his achievements, then praised him from the perspective of the dynasty, encouraged him to continue working hard to contribute to the dynasty, and finally the highlight came, he was promoted out of turn, from sergeant to warrant officer, skipping the rank of staff sergeant.

After Goder took the document and expressed his gratitude, Captain Merrick turned aside and invited him.

"You have come a long way, so you may as well take a rest. Lieutenant Colonel Grayling has prepared a banquet at your house."

The middle-aged man waved his hand and declined, saying, "I came here just for the sake of passing through. There is an important appointment from the Rock Wind Guards of Solon County that I need to read out. I can't waste too much time here."

"The appointment of Rockwind Guard?" Captain Merrick thought for a moment and asked tentatively, "Is it the controversial one?"

"Yes." The middle-aged man nodded solemnly.

"I see. Then we won't delay your trip. Things over there are more important." That person seemed to have something extremely special. Upon hearing that, Captain Merrick did not try to keep him and immediately clasped his fists.
