Chapter 5: Thorps' Dilemma
It was a dialogue in memory, a dialogue with the elder brother Thorpes, and the content of the dialogue was about Baron Kells.
"I want to work hard to become a junior knight attendant and be selected as the elite guard of Lord Kells. If I am lucky, I hope that I can become as powerful as Baron Kells and become a real knight."
When he said this, Thorps' eyes were filled with admiration and reverence from the bottom of his heart.
"What is a real knight?"
At that time, Willy asked.
"True knights represent great strength, and they have power that mortals cannot control."
Thorps spoke very solemnly at the time.
Because the predecessor at that time was not interested in it, this topic came to an abrupt end.
When Willy recalled it now, he vaguely felt that the power that Thorps was referring to that mortals could not control might be some kind of extraordinary ability.
This is just a guess, because the world of nobles is unpredictable and unimaginable for commoners, and Willy has no way to understand it.
"Regardless of whether the mysterious power Thorps said exists or not, according to the current situation, it should be the most sensible choice for me to improve the physical attribute points."
Willy turned his attention back to the title attribute panel.
He manipulated the title attribute panel with his mind and began to allocate the remaining attribute points.
[Willy Faerun - Constitution: 1.0; Intelligence: 1.2; Remaining Attribute Points: 0]
In just an instant, the remaining 0.2 attribute points were all added to Willy's physique.
At the moment when the bonus point was over, Willy suddenly felt that his body was full of strength, which made him vaguely have an illusion, as if his bones became harder, his muscles were tighter, and his vision was more precise.
This is a kind of comfort that is hard to describe in words.
Willy clenched his fists and threw a few punches in the dark.
"It wasn't an illusion just now. Besides, my agility and strength have improved."
Now Willy is only thirteen years old, but he already has the physique of a sixteen-year-old adult.
Willy moved around the house a few times before he forcibly calmed down.
This is just the beginning. In the future, he will become more powerful through the title attribute panel.
…
Early morning.
The poultry in the yard have begun to croak.
Willy also opened his anxious eyes. He glanced out the window, and his genius was bright.
He shook his still somewhat dizzy head lightly, folded the old sheet on his body, and walked out of the house slowly.
"Ok?"
As soon as the door was opened, Willy saw his father Lake and mother Shawin standing at the door of the yard, talking to a young man under twenty years old.
Willie knew this young man. His name was Cool, and he was a childhood playmate of his eldest brother Thorpes.
When the eldest brother was selected to be one of the guards of Baron Kells and entered the town to work, Kool also entered the town and became an apprentice in a shop, and the two of them were considered good friends.
Because of Thorps' work restrictions, he can't go home often, so the salary he earned as a guard and the words he said to his family were passed on by Kool. Now that Kool was here, it was probably Thorpes who asked him to help deliver the message again.
But what makes Willy feel strange is that the parents at this time did not smile as usual after hearing the news of the eldest brother. On the contrary, their faces were full of sadness and looked particularly solemn.
The communication between the three was brief, but after a while, Kool left.
Lake and Shawin said nothing, as if full of thoughts.
"Good morning, father and mother."
Willy said hello first.
Lake glanced at Willy, with a smile on his face, gave a simple gesture, and then walked into the house.
Shawin responded with a reluctant smile: "Good morning, Willy."
"Mother, what news did Kuhl bring about the eldest brother just now?"
Lake had already entered the room, and Willy asked Shawin directly.
Shawin hesitated for a moment and sighed softly: "Baron Kells is going to hold a temporary assessment of junior knight attendants next month, and Thorpes wants to try it."
Willy frowned: "Isn't this a good thing?"
Once Thorps passes the assessment of the junior knight attendant, not only his own status will be improved, but his income status will also be greatly improved. It's good news for Big Brother Thorps, and it's good news for the whole family.
"That's right..."
Shawin's face was full of sadness: "However, it is not so easy to pass the test. Thorps said that his experience and skills are enough to meet the content of the test, but his physical fitness is still not up to the standard. He needs to With the help of some medicinal materials and supplies, we can improve our physical fitness."
Thorps is a very responsible elder brother. After becoming a member of Baron Kells' escort, he still practiced hard and practiced hard, and sent most of his income back home, so that very little Spend resources on yourself. Hence the present situation. UU reading www. uukanshu.com Opportunity came, but could not seize it.
"But the medicinal materials and supplies are too expensive..."
Shawin said the root cause of the problem.
Willy knew that he was short of money.
"How much do you need?"
Willy asked further.
"At least five gold rams are needed."
Shawin let out a long sigh, as if giving no hope for this.
Five gold rams are 50,000 copper rams. It takes at least six or seven years to save so much money on the premise of paying for a family's expenses.
At home now, I can't get these five gold rams at all.
"How much assistance can the family provide to the eldest brother now?"
Willy was wondering if he could relieve some of the pressure through his primary collection ability.
"The family can only provide two gold rams, and that's all we have."
Mrs. Shawin didn't seem to want to continue the topic: "My father and I will find a way to solve this problem. If we can't do it, we will borrow some money. Don't worry about it. You go to wake Veria first and have breakfast together later. ."
Willie fell into contemplation as he watched Mrs. Shawin's back walk into the room.
This dilemma is not completely unsolvable, but the risks to be taken are somewhat large.
The knowledge conferred by the title of primary collector also includes the methods of finding and collecting some precious plants. As long as these precious plants are dug up, it is not impossible to sell five gold rams.
It's just that these precious plants don't grow on the outskirts of the forest like the sweet fruit, they are often in the deepest part of the forest, full of beasts and venomous mosquitoes growing grass.
If he entered by force, Willy might have to pay the price of his life.
