"I didn't know you knew how to plant! We're soon entering rice season, so I was thinking of preparing a paddy field to guarantee a stable harvest. The only problem with that is that we don't know if Barnham will bring us any rice, so it's hard to plan around irregular rations."
"It's worth a try, no? Even when you're free from the coliseum, this place might be useful for something."
"Barnham has been expanding his stadium with each passing year. There are a lot less people living here than previously, he probably plans on housing more strong soldiers there until he's ready to fight the king's army."
"If it's up to me, I wont let him place a single stone over this side of the river."
"You're boasting a bit too much for someone who didn't sleep for more than a few hours, don't you think? Here, go back to bed. You deserve something to prep you for the fight." Michelle hands you another radish before sending you off, looking for another hoe to plow the mud along the water flowing. If anything, she's the one needing to rest for working day and night shifts.
You return back to to your bed and rest a few more hours until the sun properly rises. When you wake up from your nap, Gunpowder is already up and ready for you outside, making sure you didn't flake on him a second time.
He's clearly a lot more energized than you, which means he's glad to compensate for whatever injuries you've had from before by giving you a slight heal through Od absorption. It's not enough to feel like you're on your 100%, but after being flung into the air, deskinned and squashed by a tentacle monster, it's best to spare him with your overheal, or else you'd probably knock your horse out cold.
You wear a temporary armor set made by Bernard, along with the best weapons the smith could give you.
"Usually I would save the best weapons for the soldiers, but you just took down 5 of my clients, so you might as well stick with their weapons. You're a lance guy, right? Oh, what the hell, take a look at what I got. You'll need something sturdier than a pointy stone to hit an armoured soldier like Gorrister."
Lots of different spear types to choose from, you didn't knew that many existed! What would be most effective against a guy with a morning star?
>A poleaxe.>A bardiche.>A halberd.>A double bladed glaive.>A pitchfork.
