Poof!

A dagger flew in mid-air with a soft noise and the sharp tip of the dagger was stuck on the wooden target.

Aupin slowly retracted his arm and looked thoughtfully at the many wooden targets in front of him.

When he got up this morning, he issued an order to collect many long-range weapons.

Bows and crossbows were the most common. In addition, there were some that were specially used for throwing, such as axes and knives, as well as short spears and daggers.

These weapons were all thrown out by him, and were accurately planted in the wooden targets.

Aupin stretched his fingers while looking at the results in front of him. He secretly evaluated himself, Strictly speaking, the dagger is not a weapon specially used for throwing. But I threw more than a dozen daggers without failing. I can throw it wherever I want.

Other than the dagger, whether it’s a short spear, a throwing axe, or a knife, they’re all the same.

Forget about the bow and crossbow, those are the easiest.

If I had darts here, I should be able to throw them too.

Darts were not common.

In the eastern part of the Holy Brilliance Continent there was a unique battle spirit which could make people feel as light as a bird. They could use darts, throwing knives, and other unique powers.

Therefore, darts were more popular in the eastern part of the Holy Brilliance Continent, but they were rare in other places.

The results now proved that last night was not a dream, but a recovered memory that belonged to Aupin.

Aupin couldn’t achieve this kind of throwing skill before.

But after last night, he could do this very easily, almost like an instinct.

No, this should be the result of my hard work in the past. It’s just that I haven’t been able to use it. The memory of last night was the key to unlocking this skill.

It’s a pity that although I remembered the secret technique of the Roar of Sharp Needle, I can’t use it.

If I could utilize such a secret technique, it would be extremely powerful and be a strong threat to the ferocious monsters on this island.

Aupin sighed in his heart.

He still was unable to activate battle aura. The main requirement of fighting techniques like the Roar of Sharp Needle was to instill his own battle aura into the special flying needle.

Therefore, if Aupin couldn’t activate battle aura, he couldn’t really exert the power of the Roar of Sharp Needle.

But even so, the strength of Aupin had increased a little bit with the emergence of this memory.

He used to hold a long sword and bravely engaged in close combat. But now, because he had the ability to throw, anything within a few hundred feet of him was in his attack range.

“So this is the Centum’pin bloodline! In terms of accuracy, the Centum’pin bloodline ranks among the top five in the entire Holy Brilliance Continent. Aupin, you are the hope of the Centum’pin clan, you will surely bring glory back to the entire family.”

Aupin heard a familiar voice while thinking.

He turned around and saw Palebeard.

Palebeard walked over slowly. After he saw the various throwing weapons in the wooden targets, he had a look of respect on his face.

Aupin shook his head slightly.

He came to practice early in the morning. In addition to confirming his memory, his biggest wish was to use this opportunity to trigger related memories and realize his battle aura.

Unfortunately, he did not succeed.

In fact, before this, he had asked his subordinates about their battle spirit.

But no matter how hard he tried, this island banned all low-level magic and battle aura, he couldn’t sense anything at all. He couldn’t activate the battle aura hidden in his body.

He wasn’t going to tell Palebeard about these problems.

“Let’s talk, how is the current situation?” Aupin asked and adjusted his breathing while he watched Palebeard walk in front of him.

Palebeard obviously came to report to him.

“Sir, not a single person died.” Palebeard’s first words made Aupin sigh in relief.

Palebeard continued, “We are so lucky to have a potioneer like Violette! These medicines have benefited almost everyone. So far, more than half of the people have taken medicine. These people are weak, so some have fallen into unconsciousness while some have a fever. Being seriously sick is inevitable it seems.”

Enough potions have been made.

But for safety and security reasons, under Palebeard’s arrangement, the exploration team members took the medicine in batches.

There were still some people who had not taken the medicine.

Aupin nodded slightly and asked the main question, “So, how is the physical fitness decline of the first batch of people that took the medicine?”

Palebeard shook his head slightly. “The situation is still changing, but based on the current results, these people are very weak. The degree of decline in strength varies from person to person. Some people have mild symptoms and some are more serious. The overall situation is pretty good. At least there are no deaths or deformities.”

Palebeard’s face darkened. “Sir, I think the danger of magical power erosion has been basically solved, so the threat to our entire team is not high… But there is a problem that lies in front of us.”

“Food?” A light flashed in Aupin’s eyes.

“Sir, you are astute.” Palebeard bowed slightly, unable to hide his worry. “We really don’t have much food left.”

Aupin nodded slightly. He had been paying attention to their supplies, so he was not surprised.

Palebeard had proposed to hunt a large number of goats, just to get goat meat.

Whether it was the exploration team or the large group of people staying on the beach, there was a great demand for food.

The exploration team originally brought plenty of food, but they left the beach and had been in the forest for a long time. Most of the food had already been consumed.

Aupin and Violette’s food was originally sufficient, but this supply was only for two people. Now that the number of people had increased, the supply began to look scarce.

Unless, Aupin decided to abandon these people to save food.

“How long can we last?” Aupin asked.

The scholar immediately replied, “I roughly calculated it can last for fifteen days.”

Half a month’s time.

Aupin nodded, he was satisfied with Palebeard’s report.

This was the role of a scholar.

Palebeard is a qualified scholar.

He can spot and point out problems in advance. There are many trivial problems, making it difficult to cover everything as a leader. Someone needs to make sure all of the problems are covered.

Fifteen days seems like a long time, but it is already dangerously low.

A sense of urgency rose in Aupin’s heart.

He had been on this island for many days and understood how difficult it was to get food on this island!

Palebeard must also have similar feelings.

Because after Aupin joined the exploration team, they experienced many hardships and dangers, but never harvested food on a large scale. Their only chance was to hunt the goat, but there was a big problem with the goat meat, which almost killed the entire exploration team.

“Do you have any solutions?” Aupin thought for a while before asking Palebeard.

Palebeard groaned. “I am ashamed… I can’t think of anything. But maybe Violette can?”

A bell rang in Aupin’s mind and he took a deep look at Palebeard.

A thought rose in the young man’s mind, Palebeard’s words seem to mean something else, does he know something?

Perhaps… The secret of the grassroots is hard to hide. Maybe other people are oblivious, but Palebeard pays attention all the time. He is very knowledgeable, it is normal for him to know this secret.

After Violette discovered that the goats were also victims, and the real source was the seemingly ordinary grass, she told the secret to Aupin.

Aupin’s mind kept spinning, Therefore, there is an easy way to solve the food problem. Which is to make Violette create more potions and pour it down on the goat. After the goat spits out the magical powers, the goat meat should become edible…

Palebeard’s proposal just now seems to point to this method, but he didn’t say it directly.

After all, this unique grassroot contains strong ice-type magical power. This is a valuable resource, and should be kept a secret.

Palebeard is probably pretending to be oblivious. No wonder he served the nobles for most of his life.

After thinking about it, Aupin couldn’t help but admire Palebeard even more.

One thing about Palebeard he admired most was that the old gentleman knew how to curb his own intelligence and not let his wisdom offend others. He put forward his own suggestions in a measured manner, and would not easily arouse the resentment of others.

But at the same time, he still stuck to his principles.

Palebeard knew that food was important for the exploration team. There was plenty of water in the team, and there was also a water supply source nearby.

Food was the key.

Once food was in short supply, the body’s energy intake would be reduced, physical strength would continue to decline, combat power would also decline, and the ability to fight external crises would drop as a result.

If they didn’t make any changes, this vicious circle would drag the entire team into the abyss of destruction.

In fact, everyone knew how much of a food supply was left. Once the reserve reached a critical point, the exploration team members would experience psychological pressure.

And if the psychological pressure increased, even without fierce beasts attacking them, in order to compete for food, the members would fight and compete amongst themselves. The team would eventually collapse.

In the past, Aupin and Violette could easily meet the food demands of themselves. Now that there were more people, although many aspects have become more convenient, it also brought a lot of pressure and trouble.

Palebeard was worried that Aupin was careless in this regard and since food was very important, he pointed out this problem.

From his perspective, maintaining the existence of the entire team meant maintaining his own life.

Palebeard was a scholar and did not practice battle aura. He wanted to increase his survival probability and could only rely on other people. At the same time, the more people in the team, the greater the value of his management and knowledge.

Palebeard knew how to survive.

Such a talent really wants to serve me? Aupin thought and sighed in his heart.

Although Palebeard was only a mortal, he had profound knowledge and wisdom.

He is not fit to be a chamberlain of a nobleman. He is not supernatural and he can’t fight back.

But as a consultant, he is fully qualified, even excellent.

Palebeard left the family where he served for many years because he wanted to write. This is the ambition of a scholar and is understandable. For ordinary people, it is definitely the best choice to stay with nobles. Why would they want to write a book and take on risk personally?

Aupin suddenly had a change of mind.

Prior to this, I planned to take advantage of Palebeard and slowly recruit him.

But when I think about it now, maybe the current situation is a good opportunity to recruit him?

Aupin changed his thinking angle and his eyes slowly brightened.

He wanted to slowly advance his plan, but when he arrived to White Sand City, he would not be the only Templar knight. There were at least two others who were contenders for the position of city lord.

Therefore, the best opportunity was not the future, but the present.

On this sinister island, Palebeard must rely on other people to survive.

So this island is actually my opportunity! For the first time, Aupin noticed the advantages of this island.
