Mystery: I, the Hermit, am too eager to improve

Chapter 32 Old Soldiers Never Die, Warrior Gao Wen

"Gawain, this place is yours from now on."

"Don't talk like I've hit the jackpot. If it weren't for Mr. Roy, I wouldn't have taken on this mess at all, and you haven't even said what kind of compensation you're going to give me!"

Gao Wen rolled his eyes.

He looked around and was generally satisfied.

Becky, ignoring the question, continued, "Gawain, I know what happened to you. I went through something similar and went through a period of silence just like you."

Gao Wen remained silent.

Twenty years ago, Gawain belonged to the Knights of Ahova.

That was a very elite knightly order of Rune, with great strength, but in a war they encountered the army of the Intis Empire, which had the most advanced weapons.

then.

Under the barrage of high-pressure steam rifles and six-barreled machine guns, they were routed, with only a few surviving.

Gao Wen was one of them.

That battle shattered his faith.

After that, Gao Wen chose to retire.

Like Gawain, Becky experienced something similar, but the difference was—

"I later obtained a potion recipe called 'Warrior' and became a true warrior, finally finding my direction. Gawain, do you want to become a true warrior?"

"warrior?"

Gao Wen was somewhat tempted.

He had close ties with the police and knew some people who were strange, seemingly young but holding high positions.

A thought flashed through his mind, and he realized Becky's meaning: "So that's it, those people are also... do true warriors also possess strange abilities?"

"Yes, we call it extraordinary ability, and those who possess extraordinary power are extraordinary beings, while warriors are Sequence 9 potions."

Becky said.

Gao Wen was very tempted.

Exceptional abilities.

He quickly figured out many things—

The young people who came to the police station for training in the past were likely "extraordinary" like Mr. Roy.

Fighting may not be very useful for ordinary people, but it can be very effective in extraordinary fields.

But after a moment's hesitation, he said, "I am already so old, can I still become an extraordinary being?"

"I can't guarantee that either."

Becky hesitated for a moment, not daring to make a guarantee.

He thought for a moment and said, "I can ask Mr. Hyde or Mr. Roy. They are very knowledgeable and should know whether it is feasible."

"Becky, thank you. Whether it works out or not, I'm satisfied with this payment."

……

Roy didn't have time to come to the fighting club until noon.

He saw Becky still instructing her students, while Gawain was not there, and he couldn't help but wonder about yesterday's confrontation.

Logically speaking...

Gao Wen should have already confessed by then.

"Mr. Becky, your deal with Mr. Gawain fell through?"

"No, it worked. He went out to buy extraordinary materials. I only have two main materials here, and I'm missing auxiliary materials."

Becky smiled.

Roy was slightly surprised; the main ingredient was the hardest to find.

Those auxiliary materials can be gathered with just a short stroll around.

"Are you planning to sponsor Gawain to become a soldier?"

"It's a deal. Don't be fooled by my running a club; all my previous savings were used to buy recipes and extraordinary materials. Now I need to go to Backlund and urgently need some money, and I happen to have some extra main materials that I need to get rid of."

Becky said in a low voice, "Of course, I don't think he, as a valiant knight, should have died a depressed old age at home."

Roy nodded in agreement.

Gawain looked dejected, but that was because he didn't know what the point of fighting was; he had lost all his will to fight.

Yesterday, I stirred up the other person's spirit.

If given a magic potion, he would soon become a true warrior.

"You agree, right?"

"A veteran of the battlefield like him might be able to master the potion completely in just a short time after taking it, and he is perfectly capable of doing so even if he is older."

Roy nodded.

Becky replied, "Yes, Mr. Hyde said so too. Besides, not long after I took the potion, I felt that I had control over it. Mr. Roy, I have another request..."

"As long as Mr. Gao Wen gathers all the materials, I will definitely help."

Roy knew what the other party's request was.

Becky thanked him gratefully, and then said, "I have some books about fighting that I don't quite understand myself, so I'll leave them all for you and Gawain."

"Thank you. When are you leaving?"

"On the train three days later, Mr. Hyde said he had contacted an old friend in Backlund and found some connections to try to gather extraordinary material."

Becky said, "Mr. Roy, we'll be waiting for you in Backlund."

"I may not go to Backlund; it all depends on the church's decision. But if I can go there, I will definitely come to find you."

"it is good."

……

For the next two or three days, Roy frequently exchanged fighting techniques with Hyde, Becky, and Gawain.

The next day, Gawain gathered all the materials. Without Roy's help, Becky personally concocted the potion, helping Gawain become a true warrior.

Now, all three are true fighting masters.

Especially Hyde.

His fighting skills and mindset are more suitable for Roy to learn and absorb.

The three-day exchange was of great help to Roy, and he could clearly feel his own potion being digested.

This shows that his line of thinking is correct.

Martial arts scholars should acquire and summarize more martial arts knowledge through exchanges.

Seeking knowledge, uncovering secrets.

This is the general direction for those who seek to uncover secrets.

On the morning of the fourth day, outside the train.

Gao Wen, who was originally somewhat old, became energetic in just a few days.

In just one day, the old knight underwent a tremendous transformation, as if he had been reborn. Through this transformation, he was able to withstand the madness.

Moreover, Gawain had almost completely digested the potion after taking it.

He was a born warrior.

Roy smiled and said, "You two, get on the bus. If you don't get on now, you'll have to wait for the next one."

"Okay, let's go then."

Hyde waved.

Roy nodded slightly.

After saying goodbye, the train soon pulled away from Tingen.

After they left, Roy asked, "Mr. Gawain, what did you put in Mr. Becky's pocket?"

"An anonymous account."

Gawain smiled. "I've inquired and found out that the main material for warriors is quite popular at Sequence 9, costing two hundred gold pounds per piece. His quote to me was too low, so I put one hundred gold pounds in it."

"You are a respectable gentleman."

Roy had genuine admiration for him.

Gao Wen shook his head: "He went to great lengths to help me, so I certainly can't just take it for nothing. By the way, the materials you asked me to buy for you, I saw them on the black market yesterday, and I've already placed an order for them. They'll be delivered tomorrow."

"Thank you, Mr. Gao Wen."

Roy asked him to help him acquire materials for a mental enhancement ritual.

I didn't expect Gawain to get it done so quickly.

"It's just helping each other out."

Gao Wen shook his head and pointed to the carriage coming from that direction. "Get in and go back. You shouldn't be gone for long, right?"

"If Mr. Gao Wen needs any help later, and I am not at the club, you can send someone to the bar to leave a message, and I will do my best to help."

Roy said.

Gao Wen smiled slightly on his ruddy face and waved his hand: "I'm just an old man who only studies combat. What do I need your help with? Let's go, get in the car."
