Chapter 8 Ghost Grass

"Give you enough meat and a month's time, can you train a hundred dock laborers like this?"

Facing Todd's question, Carter hesitated for a long while and did not dare to give a definite answer.

He has also trained temporarily recruited recruits, so he naturally knows the difficulty.

But after a while, Carter still stuck his neck and said:

"So what, it's not vulnerable! Give me six or seven brothers, as long as I charge, I can smash this group of recruits!"

Regarding such words, Todd didn't bother to refute.

He clearly remembered that when Samwell first recruited this group of recruits, Carter once showed disdain, saying that he could disperse these hundred people by himself with a sword and armor.

But after just one month, he needed the help of six or seven brothers.

I don't know how many regular troops Carter will need to lead in order to defeat this group of recruits with confidence.

To be honest, Todd really wanted to ask Samwell about how to train soldiers, but he was worried that this was an untold secret of the Tully family, so he could only observe secretly from the sidelines.

While stealing lessons, Todd also noticed one thing.

That is Samwell's physical fitness, which seems to be improving at an extraordinary speed.

When he first left High Court, Samwell was still a fat man who struggled even to mount a horse, but a month later, although he was still fat, he was no longer as bloated as before.

At the beginning of the "military training", Samwell was basically in command, and occasionally practiced, but he collapsed after a while, but now, he can actually insist on completing the entire training with these recruits. Call it amazing.

This also made Todd more and more convinced that Samwell's reputation as a waste was faked, and the fat on his body was also intentionally eaten. Now he is only doing recovery training, so there is such a speed of progress.

Thinking of this, Todd's face became more and more gloomy.

The training of recruits did not end until noon.

This is also the "marching routine" set by Samwell all the way. He trained for half a day in the morning, rested for two hours after lunch, and then set off leisurely. Continue night training after rest.

It is precisely because of this that a month has passed, and they have only traveled less than half of the total distance.

Todd proposed several times to speed up the march, but was rejected by Samwell.

The "cowardly" pioneer knight insisted that these recruits should be trained to be qualified fighters, otherwise they would not enter the Crimson Mountains.

"I think he just doesn't dare to open up, so he dawdled all the way!" Carter complained in Todd's ear again, "When he runs out of money, he has a reason to give up this operation, hum! It really is the Tully family cowardly waste!"

Todd did not speak.

Seeing this, Carter couldn't help but said again: "Master Todd, are you really looking at it like this?"

Todd replied angrily: "What else can I do? Put a sword on his neck and force him to go?"

Carter lowered his voice: "It's not impossible..."

Todd turned his head and squinted at his attendant.

Carter coughed lightly and explained:

"I mean, you can scare that fat man and make him obedient."

Todd withdrew his gaze, bowed his head and remained silent.

There is neither affirmation nor negation of the attendant's suggestion.

…

Plumes of cooking smoke rose from the camp, and at the same time, the rich smell of meat wafted in the air.

The recruits who had just finished training sat cross-legged on the ground, although they were tired, their faces were full of smiles.

If there is meat to eat, of course I am happy.

In fact, the experience of the past few months made these recruits feel a little unreal.

The pioneering journey that was thought to be extremely difficult turned out to be the happiest journey in their lives.

Of course, the daily training is also very hard, but they are already dock laborers, and they have long been accustomed to hard work. What's more, there is meat to eat here every day, no matter how hard it is, it is worth it.

They feel more and more that following this master Caesar to develop is really the wisest decision in their life.

But what they don't know is that Master Caesar is a little worried now.

Of course, Samwell is not worried about money. Although his development funds are indeed running low, he believes that the Tyrell family will definitely not just sit back and watch his development come to an end without a problem.

A hundred elite soldiers have been dispatched, so why don't you be reluctant to have a few golden dragons?

What really worries Samwell is his attribute panel.

More than a month has passed, and his property panel has changed a lot:

Samwell Caesar

Title: Pioneering Knight

Territory: None

Vassals: None

Strength: 1.22

Agility: 0.73

Spirit: 1.12

Strength and agility have been greatly improved, especially strength, with the help of the golden tail shrimp, the speed of improvement is the fastest.

Of course, a lot of money was spent.

He encountered financial problems so quickly, half of it was because the recruits had to eat meat every day, but the other half was also because his own mouth was not idle.

Not to mention golden tail shrimp, as long as there is one, no matter how expensive it is, buy it.

Moreover, every time he went to a town, Sam asked Gavin to search for various foods, hoping to find foods like goldentail shrimp that could improve attributes.

However, nothing was found.

Samwell has tasted all kinds of weird foods along the way, and even snails, lizards, silkworm chrysalis and other dark dishes, he suppressed his nausea and ate them, but they didn't have any effect.

To make matters worse, he found that after the strength attribute exceeded 1.20, the effect of the golden tail shrimp was actually halved!

Yes, he clearly remembered that after the strength attribute reached 1.20, he ate the first golden tail shrimp and there was no reaction. It was not until he ate the second one that it became 1.21.

The extra strength of 0.01 was the result of his three days of hard military training.

This change made Samwell very uncomfortable, and it was predictable that when the strength attribute continued to increase, the improvement effect of the goldentail shrimp would probably continue to decrease.

It is the agility value, although no cheating food was found, it increased quite rapidly.

This should be due to the low starting point and easy improvement. In addition, it is estimated that there is a side effect of increased strength.

After all, according to the common sense, the greater the strength, the faster the speed will naturally increase.

In addition, he has lost weight quite effectively now, so he will definitely be able to move more freely.

However, as the agility attribute continues to improve, it may become as difficult to improve as strength in the future.

As for the attribute of spirit, there has been no change at all for more than a month.

However, Samwell is not in a hurry to improve his spirit for the time being. After all, the three dragons of Daenerys have not yet hatched, and the mysterious side of this world is still sleeping. It is estimated that he will not have any effect if he improves his spirit.

At present, the two attributes of strength and agility are still improved, which will be of greater help to his strength.

Thinking of this, Samwell chanted "I am a ruthless eating machine" silently, and numbly stuffed all kinds of weird food that Gavin purchased back into his mouth.

As all kinds of weird tastes rolled and surged in his mouth, Samwell's expression became more and more unlovable.

But not long after, his eyes suddenly lit up!

"Gavin!"

"Master, are you looking for me?"

"What's the name of this grass?" Samwell asked eagerly, holding a silver-white weed in his hand.

Because, he just found out that after eating this weed, his mental attributes actually increased by 0.01!

Although it is not the strength and agility attributes he is most looking forward to, Samwell will certainly not let go of food that can improve spiritual attributes.

"Master, this is called Ghost Grass."
