"I've asked her to clean your room," Maggie said politely.
Angele tried the rest of the food after finishing the bamboo shoot, but he couldn't find anything that could increase his attributes. He had to give up.
"Soon. I'll be done in three to four days." Angele stared at the iron ball in the room with determination in his eyes. "There's only one last target left."
Angele scrunched his eyebrows. He closed the window after the horses left.
'Name completed. Blue bamboo shoots. Consume 150 grams for 30 times. Three times a day. You'll finish one cycle of strengthening. Maximum enhancement is at least 2 points.] The A.I. Chip's mechanical voice intoned.
Purple fruits, red vegetables, light blue meat, more than ten types of dried fruits, and so on. Angele didn't miss anything. He stood in the kitchen and tried the food one by one. Zero reported the ingredients to him.
Dice collected all the information about the people in Rio's castle after he returned to the castle. He also learned the name of the young man he met earlier. Seeing that he had failed in the hands of a good-for-nothing, Dyze felt as though his reputation had been greatly insulted.
Blue bamboo shoots were commonly used as a laxative in the area, but no one knew that it could increase one's strength. However, he had to consume it 30 times in a row, and each time, he had to consume 150 grams.
* * *
The darkness faded away after the practice was over.
Angele stood there, and a 3D image of the bamboo shoots was spinning in front of his eyes. The image was divided into different colors, from white to black, according to the effects.
"Name it Blue Bamboo Shoots." Angele looked at the bamboo shoot in his hand.
The sound of the bowstring being pulled was heard. The arrowhead of the white feather arrow had a bluish-purple luster on its surface. It seemed like it was coated with poison.
'No enhancement found.'
Angele heard rapid footsteps coming from behind. Maggie was right behind him.
The chip was like an auxiliary computer. Angele needed to assign tasks to it before it could run. Otherwise, many of its functions would be left unused.
The tip of the bamboo shoot was the most effective.
"Something happened at the silver mine. The baron is going to take care of it," Maggie said.
'Sadly, the chip can only perform one mission at a time. Otherwise, I can save a lot of time,' Angele thought while chewing the bamboo shoots.
On the road leading to the outside world, the Baron was wearing silver armor and riding a white horse. On his back was a huge black sword that was as wide as a human head. Behind him was a team of more than ten cavalrymen dressed in black metal armor.
They were not much different from the bamboo shoots on Earth. They were all conical, soft and crispy, exuding a faint floral fragrance, and their entire body was brown with a hint of blue.
* Creak … *
"Name it Basic Sword Technique. Do you want to start the virtual demonstration? "
Angele left the cafeteria and returned to his bedroom. He started practicing dodging again. During this time, Maggie and Celia also came to see him, but he found an excuse to reject them. Now he had no time or mood to think about other things.
There was the sound of metal rubbing against each other. His face, which was stained with grass and mud, was ice-cold.
"Understood." Angele nodded and closed the door. It was already November, and it was time to recruit people and settle the taxes of the territory. According to Angele's memory, this was the busiest time of the year.
For several days, Angele followed the same routine and trained himself.
The moment Dyze saw the youth's face, he felt a surge of anger rise in his heart.
He heard some noises.
'Angele Rio, hehe, I'll take care of you first, then finish the mission. You made me suffer a lot last time, and I'll see where you can run this time! '
Angele stepped on the grass and entered the forest after he passed the training ground.
* CHI * Angele released another arrow and lowered his body. He jumped to the side and landed on a slope.
'Have you finished practicing your sword technique?' Angele asked while panting.
This time, after making sufficient preparations, he once again came alone to carry out the mission. This time, he was confident.
Half an hour later, Angele's face lit up. The vegetable that looked like a bamboo shoot in his hand was finally no longer 'undiscovered'.
Angele heard the sound of the chain again.
"What's the matter, Master?"
* BANG *
Angele did not stop. He nocked another arrow and rushed forward. He ran around the castle in a zigzag pattern.
* CHI * A silver dagger pierced through the place where he was standing. If he had been a bit slower, he would have been stabbed in the chest.
"Basic Sword Technique." Angele gave it a random name.
"Maggie!" he yelled.
Maggie was standing by the door, wiping her hands. It seemed like she was washing something.
After that, Angele practiced Blocking Stance, Chasing Stance, Full Strength Stance, Counterattack Stance, and Dodging Stance. There were all kinds of basic sword techniques, and every movement was very concise and quick. It looked very neat and tidy.
Dice was wearing a black cloak. He was crouching on a tree branch, looking at the castle from afar.
In the forest outside the castle.
"You again!" Angele felt a familiar sense of danger. He recalled the time when he had to run for his life. An extremely stifling anger rose in his heart.
The blade of the sword was rough, and the emblem of the Rio Family was engraved on it. There was an eagle in a circle of thorns, ready to fly. The sword was silver in color. It reflected the white light.
"That's him! That bastard still dares to come out! Very good … "Dyze laughed sinisterly as he slid down from the tree branch and merged into the forest.
Angele closed the door and checked his stats.
The team of horses went further and further away, and soon disappeared at the end of the road, leaving behind a cloud of dust.
Angele returned to his bedroom after a while. He started thinking about the demonstration.
Angele could see a silver dot in front of the human being due to the high speed he was traveling at. It was a visual remnant caused by the four swords concentrated in one area.
Angele's Strength had increased from 0.8 to 1.4. The effect of the blue bamboo shoots was obvious.
"It's not just the venom of the one-eyed snake …" Angele's body tensed up. He listened to the surroundings carefully.
* BAM *
Angele rolled down the slope several times. He dropped the quiver and the bow. Angele unsheathed his sword.
"The tip of the bamboo shoot?" Angele bit the tip of the bamboo shoot. A bitter and slightly sweet taste spread in his mouth.
The white feather arrow turned into a white line and instantly pierced into a cluster of bushes not far away. Angele could hear the noise of someone blocking the arrow. It seemed like the arrow hit the target, but it was blocked.
"Alright." Angele nodded. "Go ahead. By the way, how is Cecilia now?"
"Sure."
Angele had the crossguard sword and the quiver hanging on his belt. He also had a longbow on his back. He was wearing a black archery ring on his wrist. He was walking toward the forest alone.
Angele could hear the footsteps approaching him.
* Dong Dong Dong * Someone knocked on the door. Angele walked to the door and opened it.
'The refinement was completed three hours ago. Please name it,' Zero reported.
Angele took a deep breath and gathered all his strength. He stared at the top of the slope like a poisonous snake.
Angele's sight blurred. He saw himself standing in the darkness with the crossguard sword in his hand. The man with the same appearance as Angele swung his sword and drew a silver line in the air. Then, he slashed to the left, pointed to the right, and slashed down. In just a second or two, four consecutive strikes landed on the same spot.
"It's too early, but I can fight now." Angele held the hilt of his sword tightly. The silver blade reflected a bluish-purple coating.
A pale-skinned, ordinary-looking youth slowly walked out, followed by two guards. The three of them walked towards the forest.
There were flames in Angele's eyes. The feeling that his life could be in danger at any moment made all the nerves in his body slightly excited.
He looked at the crossguard sword on the table and walked over to pick it up.
He squatted on a tree branch and quietly looked at the castle gate, waiting for the time when the gate would be lowered.
"No enhancer detected."
"Yes."
"Where did father go?" Angele asked.
Suddenly, there was a creaking sound. The city gate was slowly lowered.
"Unknown creature detected. It is preparing to attack."
…
Angele's body trembled. He felt the same chilling sensation as last time. He did not have time to think and rolled forward.
"Die!!" He quickly revealed himself and released the bowstring. He quickly retracted the bow.
Angele slowly pulled out the sword and was about to practice according to the instructions given by the chip. Suddenly, he heard the sound of horses galloping outside the window. He opened the window and looked outside.
The baron was on his way out, so he decided to go to the castle and kill Angele first. Then, he would kill the baron on his way back. That was Audis' plan.
"Young Master, master Audis returned to the territory early in the morning. Also, master Wade is recruiting new maids today. Some of them were killed because of the theft, so they need to be replaced. It might be a bit noisy. Wade asked me to tell you, "Maggie said.
Angele heard the chip's voice after he walked a few steps.
'Tell me where the enemy is going to attack,' he ordered. Angele quickly stood up and hid behind a tree. Angele took out the longbow from his back and nocked a white feather arrow on it.
There were two guards following him, but Angele persuaded them to leave. The two guards were used to Angele's hunting habits, so they did not insist on following him. Angele did not think that it was dangerous, so they did not insist on following him.
Angele blocked the iron ball with one of his hands, and the iron ball landed on his palm. It was early in the morning, and the light from the window illuminated his entire bedroom. He was the only one in the bedroom, and the door was locked.
* CHI *
"Since the A.I. Chip has refined this sword technique, it means that I am able to use it now."
'Strength enhancement detected. Side effect: diarrhea. Please name it. 'Zero's words made Angele speechless. It took him a lot of effort to find something, but the side effect was diarrhea.
Angele asked them to leave because he did not want them to know what he was going to do next. Otherwise, he would not be able to explain the reason.
'Analysis complete. I can start refining the sword skill. I'll be able to find the most suitable sword skill for me based on everyone's basic sword skills, 'Angele said.
'Strength enhancement detected.'
Everyone lined up in a line and ran towards the outside world.
