Chapter 23: 195 pounds!
According to Jimmy's memory, although there are three power systems in the kingdom, there are only two factions fighting for power.
On one side are the royalists, that is, the royal family who support the king, and a small number of nobles.
On one side is the faction of great nobles, which is the majority of nobles headed by the six great nobles.
Sending one's own children to serve as guards and maids in noble or royal families was precisely to show one's attitude and position.
Secondly, on this basis, the families of minor nobles will also receive the favor of standing on the right side.
From this point of view, this so-called Master Joseph should be the second or third son of a noble family.
While Jimmy was thinking, the second-generation noble Joseph also walked in front of the magic crystal, looked at the sergeant and said: "Is this the magic item you are testing?"
"That's right." The sergeant nodded hurriedly and said, "But these are for civilians. As for Master Joseph, I can just approve it for you."
"You mean, my ability is even worse than those untouchables, and I need you to help me through the back door?" Joseph said, looking at the sergeant gloomily.
"Get out of the way, let me test it."
The nobles who think they are superior to others hate the people of lower status and who are more capable than themselves.
What he likes most is to show his superiority in front of common people.
The sergeant quickly stepped aside with a smile, while Joseph took a deep breath and punched the magic crystal.
The crystal rippled and a number soon emerged on the smooth crystal wall.
118 pounds!
"This... this is truly divine power!" Without even looking at it, the soldier exclaimed with an exaggerated expression.
"As expected of Master Joseph, he is truly incomparable to those untouchables!"
"Of course." Joseph nodded with great satisfaction. He turned around and looked at the line of applicants, his face darkened again.
"What's wrong with you untouchables?"
"Shouldn't we applaud and cheer when we see the great power of our Lord Joseph?"
He performed this specifically to gain a sense of superiority.
But the dead silence at the scene made him feel as if the punch he had just thrown with all his strength was like hitting cotton, making him feel suffocated.
Many of the people here now are displaced refugees.
The reason why they ended up like this was mostly due to these nobles.
He already hates the nobles very much, so if he were to show his support for them, then something strange would happen.
But Joseph was obviously not someone who would give up easily.
Today, he is definitely pretending!
"You!" Joseph stretched out his hand and pointed casually, "Yes! It's you! Come here!"
His clever little head had already figured out that the reason no one applauded was because these people didn't know what 118 pounds meant.
In this case, find someone to fight with them. With a reference value, they will know their own power.
Jimmy came forward, and Joseph pointed at him - after all, he was at the front of the team.
"Come on, try throwing a punch." Joseph moved away from the crystal and said to Jimmy with disdain in his eyes.
In fact, although he seemed to be pointing casually just now, he was actually eyeing Jimmy's slender body.
The less I fight, the more I can highlight my divine power, Joseph thought happily.
My little head is so smart!
Bang!
After a muffled sound, Jimmy stepped back from the crystal with a natural expression.
When everyone saw the numbers clearly, they gasped.
195 pounds!
Taking the combat power value of an ordinary person as an example, which is 5, it is not surprising that Jimmy can achieve this number with his current combat power value of 17.
But for bystanders, this was a bit too shocking.
195 pounds, which is about 88 kilograms. Although this number is not particularly high, it also depends on the occasion.
You know, before this noble Joseph came, the highest number never exceeded 100!
"Good!"
"Awesome!"
No one knew who took the lead, but the group of refugees who had registered suddenly cheered.
This was followed by extremely warm applause.
This is not surprising, as most of the people present were oppressed by the nobles.
Now a commoner actually defeated the nobles, which undoubtedly made them feel relieved.
But when he heard Joseph's words, his face became extremely ugly.
He never imagined that his clever little brain would actually let him down.
"Wait a minute!" At this moment, the soldier who had been watching saw that something was wrong and hurriedly stood up.
"Based on my experience, this magic crystal might have malfunctioned just now!"
Upon hearing his words, Joseph's gloomy face suddenly brightened up and he said, "Haha... So that's how it is!"
"I told you, how could a mere untouchable come up with such numbers!"
The group of refugees who had been cheering just now suddenly became quiet.
