"How unlucky."
Daley was lying on a bed in a hotel in Cainphas City, silently looking at the bustling street outside the window.
He had suffered heavy injuries from the Beast Kings twice.
This time, although the Palace of the Earl and the association had given him a lot of money, and he had gotten the majority of it, there wasn't much left after deducting the accommodation and medical expenses.
Ever since he left the village, he had gotten to know some experts and witnessed many martial arts skills. However, his abilities had not improved much. His intuition told him that he still needed something to improve.
A gentle knock on the door interrupted Daley's thoughts.
If he couldn't figure it out in a short period of time, he would take it slow.
"Please come in."
Daley said as he came back to his senses.
It was probably time for Hank and Aaron to visit.
Hank's minor injuries had long been healed, and Alan's injuries were almost healed. As usual, the two of them discussed their cultivation experiences with Daley. Time slowly passed.
The two of them had already reached the peak of Level Three Martial Artists and were only one step away. After hearing about Daley's advancement, Hank wanted to rush into the mountains and find a few wild beasts to fight so that he could advance. Unfortunately, his sister stopped him and clearly said that he was not allowed to leave the city until he advanced.
Hank seemed to be very afraid of his sister, so although he was dissatisfied, he could only practice harder.
"Mr. Hank, there's no need to be anxious. If you practice like this, although it's a little slow to advance, it's safe. I had no one to practice with me for a long time, so I had no choice but to do this. That advancement almost cost me my life.”
"Sigh, that's true, but I just can't sit still.”
The three of them chatted for a while more, and Hank and Aaron were ready to get up and leave.
After standing up, Alan seemed to have thought of something.
"Mr. Daley, did you say that you encountered an obstacle in your cultivation?”
"Yes."
Daley honestly told the two of them about his confusion.
"I see."
Alan thought for a moment.
"There seems to be a feasible way."
"What is it?"
Alan did not say anything and only looked at Hank.
"Let me try."
Hank lowered his head and mumbled.
"Mr. Daley, for various reasons, I can't reveal anything more.”
After getting Hank's approval, Alan said to Daley.
"If, if one day, you receive an invitation to join the guards, please agree.”
"Alright."
Although Daley didn't understand, he still agreed.
A few days later, a carriage brought Daley to a room in the Palace of the Earl.
"Due to certain reasons, the Palace of the Earl is recruiting a guard.”
A burly man stood in front of Daley and said.
"The guards of this residence don't have any salary or bonuses. They only care about food and accommodation. Of course, you will also reimburse the medical expenses of your injuries. The applicants must be warriors who are willing to work hard and can't disobey orders. The benefits are an internal communication once a month and an hour of conversation with the young lady once a month. The contract period is three months. Are you willing to join the guards?”
"It's understandable that internal communication is a benefit. After all, they are all martial arts experts, so communication is definitely beneficial. However, talking to Miss for an hour is actually considered a benefit? And he even said it so solemnly?”
"Don't think that you're the only one."
Seeing that Daley was thinking, the burly man said unhappily.
"There are countless people who want to get this opportunity. Because of Young Master, you have priority. There are only five minutes left until my conversation time. I'm in a hurry. Tell me, are you willing?"
Hearing the burly man's impatient words, Daley almost wanted to turn around and leave.
However, Alan's sincere advice sounded in his mind.
"As a warrior, I definitely won't pay so much attention to this so-called conversation time because of lust or power. Besides, it was impossible to seduce a young lady of the Palace of the Earl in one hour a month. There must be a reason why this person was so anxious.”
Daley nodded.
"I'm willing to join."
"Good!"
The burly man threw Daley a piece of paper and a quill.
"Please sign."
Daley glanced at the contract on the paper. It was exactly the same as what the burly man had said, so he signed his name.
"Good! From today onwards, you are our new partner! The dormitory is over there. You can ask a maid to take you there. I'm in a hurry.”
After saying that, the burly man left in a hurry.
"He really values this hour of conversation.”
Helpless, Daley could only walk out of his room and ask a maid to bring him to the guards 'dormitory area.
"Yo! There's a newcomer!"
A young man waving his sword in the courtyard greeted Daley as he walked in.
"Tsk tsk, he actually just entered the warrior class and already entered.”
"Young man, you are really lucky."
Another middle-aged man who was sprinting back and forth in the corridor said.
"Ah, thank you."
Daley had no idea what the two of them were talking about, so he could only reply perfunctorily.
"Excuse me, where should I stay? No one told me where my room was.”
"Over there."
The young man who wielded the sword pointed in a direction. The sword in his hand did not change its starting point and ending point because of distraction.
"There are three empty rooms.”
"Thank you."
Daley bowed and walked towards the house.
What a strong control. When he was distracted and talking, it did not affect the trajectory of the sword in his hand at all. If it were him, he would probably not know where to swing it.
There was also that middle-aged man who changed directions without any pause or deceleration. If he could master this method, the Wolf King and the leopard would have died under his sword long ago.
The guards were indeed full of crouching tigers and hidden dragons. No wonder the burly man would say such words. Any warrior would want to come to such a place. Fortunately, he had agreed.
However, why would such an expert accept such harsh conditions? If it was just for communication, there was no need to join this guard team. Could it be because of that young lady?
After putting away his luggage, sweeping the floor, and making the bed, Daley walked out of the room and saw the burly man who had been talking to him come back with a smile on his face.
"Hello."
Daley hurriedly greeted.
"Hello. Oh, it's you. There's no need to be so polite here. We're all companions.”
The burly man was obviously more polite than when they first met.
"Ah, yes. What should I do next? No one told me."
"Oh, I was in a hurry just now and forgot to tell you.”
the burly man said embarrassedly.
"When there are no missions, you can do whatever you want. He could accept missions from the association, cultivate on his own, or sleep. In short, he just had to not do anything illegal. However, as a senior, I have to remind you of one thing. Miss will tell you the time of the conversation a week in advance. You must remember this time. Don't do stupid things like missing the conversation for cultivation or missions. Otherwise, you will definitely regret it.”
"Thank you for your reminder."
Daley bowed, his heart filled with curiosity towards this young lady of the Palace of the Earl.
"Barker, it looks like you've experienced something. Do you want to try?”
the young man suddenly said.
"Good!"
The burly man casually picked up the longbow on the weapon rack beside him and shot six arrows in the blink of an eye.
The young man's footsteps were like flowing water. In the end, he jumped up and dodged this round of arrow rain.
"So strong!"
Daley, who was watching from the side, felt his heart tremble.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to dodge the third arrow. Although the young man had dodged all six arrows, he was already forced into the air. He could only take the next arrow head-on.”
The burly man shouted, and the bow in his hand lit up with a dazzling golden light as the seventh arrow was shot.
The young man in the air took a deep breath and his body suddenly deflated. His entire body seemed to have been blown to the side by the wind, narrowly dodging the arrow.
"Sigh!"
The burly man put down his longbow dejectedly.
"I think you should be referring to the idea of the Seven Stars Moon Shattering Slash.”
The young man thought for a while.
"This attack is used to deal with monsters that can't fly. I should have been forced to take the seventh arrow head-on. It seems like there's something wrong with your rhythm.”
"I think there's no problem with the rhythm."
The middle-aged man who was sprinting in the corridor just now walked over.
"I feel that the timing and speed of the arrows need to be improved.”
Looking at the three people who were having a heated discussion, Daley's heart was surging.
In the future, he would have to live with such an expert.
He didn't even notice that the big man's longbow was casually grabbed.
This meant that any piece of equipment here was Secret-Silver equipment.
