The distance for a round the Ice Peak Fortress on the city wall is about 500 meters. During this period, you have to pass through several towers, up and down some steps and slopes, jump over two broken gaps, and walk through a narrow bridge built of wooden boards.
Kaile left only a board on this narrow bridge, so you must be careful when passing through it.
For this kind of road, Fitch has to run thirty laps every day. It does not stop seven days a week, and the number will increase from the second week.
He calculated that it took about one thousand, one hundred legs to run; if he was particularly tired, two thousand steps were also possible. He had never moved like this in his two lives, and now he was completely addicted to it. Especially when the lungs were on fire, his legs were filled with lead, his waist was not straightened, and his eyes were not open, and he felt that his body was no longer his own.
But if you think about it carefully, this body is indeed not his own.
"Run, Feichi! Run!"
When Forrest Gump was running, he had a childhood sweetheart girl shouting to cheer, and Feiqi was only with a long bow. This was a fierce and ferocious man. Whenever he saw Feiqi slow down, he would shoot him with an arrow.
Fortunately, there are no arrows installed on the arrow, so in order to prevent fatal damage, they are wrapped in a cloth bag filled with cotton. But even so, it hurts to shoot the arrow on the body.
Kelly scored every move, showing off his good archery skills, but this was a mental blow to Feiqi. He began to take the S-shaped route, and made some sudden changes in directions, trying to avoid the long-range strikes. But this increased the amount of exercise, which was not lazy, so naturally Kelly did not need to shoot. After a few twists and turns, Feiqi realized that the best way was to grit his teeth and persevere.
"Come on, Feichi, you can rest in another lap!"
There is only one instructor in Bingfeng Fortress. When he put all his energy into tossing one person, the others can relax relatively. Wumama and Ramsden practice with blunt swords. They are very cautious in their actions and will not have a bruised face.
Tron finished his basic training four months ago and even completed a demon hunting mission independently, so Kelly no longer cared about him. Because of this, Tron could lean against the city wall, holding a water bag, and cheering for Feichi loudly.
"Come here to drink water. This is the relief potion prepared by Lord Snow Owl for you."
Feich's whole body was steaming with water vapor, showing a wonder that would only be available in winter in early autumn. Old man Kipling forced him to drink all the potions of a water bag immediately after every five laps.
The potion contains the magical ingredient, so it is so hot that it flows through Feiqi's throat, causing a feeling of pain. Fortunately, the potion of relief only works on the body and is not aimed at the soul, otherwise everyone can watch the "exorcist" scene on the spot.
"Drink more and don't choke. This medicine can eliminate physical fatigue and avoid turning from fatigue to exhaustion, or even causing organ failure. After you drink it, you will also stretch it. The medicine will help you relax your body and you can continue running after a while." Tron not only has a water bag, but also brings a big towel, which allows Fitch to wipe his sweat. "If you stick to it, you will definitely achieve results!"
The result is on the towel. Feiqi is a medicine jar. For a long time, there are countless kinds of alchemy toxins in his body. Through running and the replacement of the easer agent, the sweat he shed is "rich in alchemy ingredients", which is sticky and slippery like oil. After a few days, although his physical fitness did not increase rapidly, the withdrawal reaction was obviously weaker.
The advantages of magical techniques in healing are very obvious. Alchemy potions cannot achieve such an effect. At least the formulas that Fitch knows cannot eliminate addiction symptoms. As long as there is a practical effect, sore throat when drinking is not a problem. He only needs to pay attention to not making strange expressions, and everything must be based on the performance of a human rather than a devil.
"Feich, come here. Kaley, let's be here today. I have something to do with him."
Old Man Kipling poked his head out from the room to the courtyard window and explained. Kelly was a little unhappy, turned his back to the tower, muttered in a low voice, and then walked towards the teenagers who contacted swordsmanship. Ramsden and Wumama shrank their shoulders, and quickly increased their strength in their hands, and immediately started to make a sound.
"Go quickly, don't let Lord Snow Owl wait, don't forget to return the water bag to him." Tron said in a low voice: "There are good things tonight: stew rabbits, don't miss the time to eat!"
I have lived here for several days, and Feiqi has never seen where there are animals in the Ice Peak Fortress, so he asked, "Hare?"
"Yes, Wumama's trap caught three rabbits, two squirrels and a chicken." Tron smiled and said, "Anyway, they are all stewed together, so it's absolutely fine to call stewed rabbits."
There is no chef at Bingfeng Fortress, everyone will have a dish called "for survival in the wild", which means stewing everything together and adding garlic. In addition, they will toast, barbecue, and use air-dried methods to process various ingredients. These combined to form the recipe for Bingfeng Fortress.
Feiqi felt very sorry for himself. If he hadn't been so tired every day, he would definitely cook to change his tricks and comfort himself with his hard-working internal organs.
"Okay, as long as I eat meat, I will definitely not miss it." Feiqi wiped his face with a towel, adjusted his mood, and said to Tron: "There is something... I might have a boosting ceremony before winter. It was supposed to be you in front of you."
"I know this, there is no problem, don't take it to heart." Tron smiled with his white teeth, "You need to hold a strengthening ceremony more than me, and I don't like birds very much. Oh, you haven't touched on these knowledge yet... I think Master Snow Owl is a good opportunity to find you this time, and you should understand all these things."
Of course, Feiqi wanted to know what the enhancement ceremony was, but he couldn't get the answer for two weeks. Since the last horse meat dinner, Mr. Kipling had entered the room, locked the door, and didn't come out at all. Both meals a day were delivered by Tron. The sound of praying to the goddess echoed all day in the room, and at the same time, a slurry potion was heard. Feiqi knocked on his door, and the old man said he didn't want to see him for the time being.
Kelie only trains Feich's body. As long as he hears Feich's question, he still has enough energy to continue training. Giles went to exchange for money to purchase, but he is not in the fortress at the moment. But even if he is there, he may only answer with the word "I'm tired".
The three young people should know something, but they kept their mouths tight: "We have not passed the ceremony yet, and there are still restrictions on vows, so we cannot disclose it to you." Therefore, this ceremony must be related to a certain oath, and it is a sign of a certain "official member" of the Ice Peak Fortress. It requires the glands of the griffin and other monsters. There are certain risks and cost money - Feiqi inferred these.
The old man Kiplin's room seemed to be more crowded and messy than last time. More than a dozen thick books were open, stacked on the table, pressing down on notes and quills that emitted the fragrance of fresh ink. The air was filled with a faint smell of fishy smell, from the alchemy crucible in the corner of the room. The glands of the griffin beast were being received and boiled, which eventually turned into liquid magic spell casting materials.
"Your alchemy tools are well maintained, much better than the one I keep. When Kelly and the others packed it up, you can get it back when I prepare the ritual materials."
"Oh, no problem. Since I have come to the Ice Peak Fortress, these things belong to the fortress."
"Whose is still who belongs, we are not the Mushroom Tribe (Mushroom People)." The old man waved his hand: "Talk the serious business. Feiqi, it seems that the goddess favors you very much and helped you survive the most dangerous first two weeks of physical training. The days afterwards may be more tiring, but as long as you pay attention to not being hurt, your physical fitness will only get better and better. In this way, you may reach the level of enduring enhancement rituals before winter."
"We follow the will of the goddess and receive training here to protect the people she loves. Our enemies are all monsters that may endanger human society. Kingdom changes, noble fights, rebel rebellions, and even rampant bandits have nothing to do with us. Only monsters are our target."
"Speed, strength, physique, special abilities... monsters have a completely crushing advantage over humans."
"Unless we can transcend ourselves and use wisdom, such as divine arts, such as martial arts, such as alchemy, etc. Enhancement rituals are a kind of divine art."
"This ritual comes from the Creator, and has been inherited and improved by the goddess. It can stimulate your potential, allow you to connect with the creatures created by the Creator, and exert the ability of one plus one to two." The old man took a blue cover, and the overall look very old and thick book. "This is "Rite of Body and Spirit", and every fortress in the Sunset Mountains has one. By studying the records in it, the goddess's priest can preside over the enhancement ritual."
Through the patient and detailed story of the old man Kipling, Fitch began to understand where the Frozen Fortress was. In the memory of the nobles (including him), the fortress in the Sunset Mountains was a hidden danger for the church to retain armed forces. This is not wrong, but it deviated from the original intention of the fortress.
This is a base dedicated to cultivating "Pioneer Hunter", "Sacred Hunter" and "Demon Retirement". The Ice Peak Fortress belongs to the "Eagle School" among the "Pioneer Hunter". The Pioneer Hunter focuses on martial arts and combat, and can learn divine skills or not. It is not like the Sacred Hunter, who specifically uses prophecy and the Holy Spirit to assist, and does not need to be as proficient in exorcism and transcendence as the Demon Retirement.
The Eagle School focuses on long-range combat, observation is the primary priority, terrain and maneuverability are second, distance and precision are the guarantee of victory. Compared with monsters, people have natural disadvantages in terms of speed and strength. Even if there is a ritual of enhancement, they generally rely solely on technology and armor to fight against each other, which is a great risk. The main weapon of the Eagle School is crossbow, followed by net, and finally a gun and sword, which is the unique weapon that can be lengthened by the hilt of the sword.
This school is easy to learn but difficult to master, and there are very few masters. It is not easy for novices to die by relying on their unique reconnaissance ability and a longer safe distance. It is not bad that novices can die easily. The enhancement ritual of the Eagle School generally uses the organs of flying monsters. Of course, the dragon is the best, but it is hard to find. Griffons can only be regarded as a barely qualified choice.
"Tron discovered a horned-winged monster. He wanted to use its ability to blind and manipulate sound waves to strengthen himself. He originally planned to launch a capture action in spring - at that time, the horned-winged monster had just completed hibernation and was weak, so it was relatively safer. The horned-winged monster was better than the griffin, but it also needed better physical fitness to bear it."
"If the barrel is not big enough, the water will not hold much."
"Griffin will bring you the basic ability of night vision, improve part of your sense of smell, and the rest will be to improve your physical fitness and enhance your will. Griffin is very proud, stubborn and sometimes he will not surrender when facing a giant dragon. Such characteristics can help resist the influence of the outside world on your spirit."
"And that's the key to you going through this winter."
