"Heh heh! If I remember correctly, the head chef of Blackrock Barracks is a genuine Iron-rank knight. You little punk, do you dare to talk back?"
"..."
"Hahaha, look at your pathetic self."
Arthur watched as the group of soldiers, having finished their training, frolicked and played as they left.
When he felt the vitality of his people, he couldn't help but feel a greater sense of identity as the Lord of Blackrock.
At this moment, a smile curved his lips.
"Lord Arthur, when will you give us extra training?"
At that moment, a handsome blond young man's face blocked his view.
The blond youth grinned, giving him an incredibly bright and silly smile.
"No need to trouble you, Lord Arthur, I'll give you extra training."
At the same time, from his left came the voice of a boy whose voice still sounded childish.
The two were his knights, Lancelot and Gawain.
Arthur looked at Gawain first.
During the ten days he was away from Blackrock Territory.
Gao Wen followed the Black Rock Legion, who were returning from leave, and participated in regular physical training and tactical combat training.
At the same time, due to his instructions, Gawain also received extra "care" from the butler Leon, a silver-rank knight.
According to the butler Leon's report, after testing Gawain on the first day and finding him to be as tough as he had said, he began to subject him to hellish and oppressive training on the second day.
In every training session that followed, the butler Leon treated Gawain like a piece of cake, kneading him at will.
The ordinary soldiers of the corps had a first impression of Gao Wen as a very enthusiastic, optimistic, and silly-smiling young man.
So, seeing Gao Wen being kicked around like a ball by Captain Leon every day, from one end of the training field to the other, and then back again, was quite a sight.
Everyone mourned for him.
At the same time, they couldn't help but complain:
Gawain is indeed, as he said, the lord's knight, and probably not the lord's enemy.
At first, Gawain was indeed powerless to fight back.
But after being beaten like a ball for so long...
On the sixth day, Gao Wen seemed to suddenly have an epiphany and actually began to fight back.
Faced with the fully armed Frostraven Knight Leon, Gawain chose to draw a counterfeit of the holy sword "Sword of the Sun King".
He activated the "Solar Breathing Technique," and during the day he activated Lv.4 "Blessing of the Sun," and once again used the battle technique, Solar Judgment.
The blazing white energy wave emitted by the fake holy sword "Sword of the Sun King" not only successfully resisted the attack of Frost Raven Knight Leon's Frost Axe, but also nearly injured him.
Just as Gawain was overjoyed, Frostraven Knight Leon's great axe flew down again, striking him on the head.
What followed was an even more rapid and terrifying offensive.
The final result was predictable: Gao Wen suffered a crushing defeat.
Afterwards, a monster disturbance occurred in the Western Wilderness.
Gawain, who had been fully revived with the help of the Lv.4 "Blessing of the Sun", quickly seized the opportunity and asked his butler Leon to send him into battle to drive them away.
Arthur learned what happened next from his butler, Leon.
The monster disturbance was successfully driven away without serious incident.
Gawain single-handedly defeated the turbulent monster leader, a late-stage Tier 2 Fire Rhino.
He deserves the credit for this expulsion operation.
But considering Leon's somewhat excessive "ball-throwing" training of Gawain, Arthur couldn't help but assert:
Gawain must have taken out all the anger he got from the butler Leon on those invading monsters.
Finally, according to the butler Leon's report.
Gawain's cultivation level has broken through to the mid-stage of the Black Iron Rank Knight.
With the blessing of the sun at Lv.4 during the day, his cultivation level can temporarily leap to the late stage of the Iron rank, which is infinitely close to the Silver rank.
Arthur was not surprised by this.
His newly promoted Lv.2 "Blessing of the Moon" helped him accumulate far more Black Iron Knight experience points than he could obtain through his usual arduous training.
Not to mention the "Blessing of the Sun" tattoo, which far surpasses his own level 4.
Thinking of this, my thoughts turned back.
Arthur then looked at Lancelot beside him.
He thought to himself:
This one is even more heavyweight!
Chapter 83 Subduing the Third-Tier Water Spirit
During the ten days it took to travel to Cedar Valley to establish supply channels for the forging workshop.
Arthur personally guided Lancelot in his training and combat skills.
He gained more than just a combat skill: Tidal Barrier.
Another bizarre thing happened to Lancelot.
—He subdued a third-tier water spirit in the waters near the Red Leaf Mountains, a feat beyond his own level.
The story goes back to their journey from Cedar Valley back to Blackrock Territory.
They passed once again through the waters where water spirits had appeared and given them a warning.
At this time.
Lancelot told Arthur that a familiar voice was calling him and stopped walking.
Arthur guessed the voice belonged to the person and followed him to the edge of the water.
Soon, something unusual happened in the water.
The tranquil lake was suddenly rippled, which then quickly gathered together.
Followed by.
The swift current formed another giant wave, crashing towards Lancelot.
Seeing this familiar scene unfold again, neither Lancelot nor Arthur tried to avoid it.
soon.
The suddenly rising giant wave abruptly stopped its forward surging trend when it was only two meters away from Lancelot.
Then, the water surged and churned, mimicking the outline of a human face.
It was the water spirit who had given them the warning.
Upon sensing Lancelot's presence, it immediately revealed itself.
next moment.
It spoke in a still ethereal tone, stating the reason for its appearance:
"Daughter of the tides, son of the lake god, please take me away!"
At that moment, Arthur was utterly astonished, thinking he had misheard.
In his mind, high elves and fairies were no different; they were both darlings of magic and beings born with pride.
The water spirit before him emanated an energy fluctuation that made his heart tremble, undoubtedly conveying to him the message of a high elf.
But right now, this high-level water spirit has actually submitted to a human.
After a brief moment of shock, Arthur regained his composure.
He attributed all of this to Lancelot's "chivalrous heart".
He had a premonition that Lancelot and Gawain were in similar situations.
"Knight's Heart" not only granted him a unique knight's breathing technique that surpassed the excellent grade, but also bestowed upon him an unparalleled high-level blessing.
Gawain's blessing is Lv.4 "Blessing of the Sun".
Lancelot's blessing is undoubtedly closely related to his waveguide properties and water.
If the alchemist Merlin were present, with his vast knowledge, he might have been able to recognize Lancelot's blessing at a glance.
Arthur thought to himself.
At the same time, look at Lancelot.
Faced with the subjugation of the superior water spirit, he did not immediately accept it, but hesitated before asking a question:
"Won't the waters be affected after you leave?"
"We are grateful to the son of the lake god for his compassionate care for us, his people."
The water spirit answered Lancelot's question:
"In fact, my existence has seriously threatened the existence of this body of water."
I and this body of water form a kind of constraint on each other.
The water element laws I control inevitably suppress the regeneration of water elements in this area, hindering its development.
The obstruction of water area development has prevented me from breaking through the existing level.
Only positive changes can break the vicious cycle.
And you, son of the lake god whom I revere, are the variable between me and these waters.
Lancelot possesses a high-level blessing associated with water.
Therefore, he could sense that the high-level water spirit was not lying to him.
So he told Arthur about it.
Arthur understood the implication in his words:
Lancelot, mindful of his duty as a knight, wanted to obtain his permission before proceeding with the matter.
Arthur did not interfere with Lancelot's decision.
At the same time, he solemnly told Lancelot that he believed in Lancelot, just as Lancelot believed in him.
Therefore, we don't need to get his approval for everything in the future, as long as we have a clear conscience.
Finished.
In Arthur's mind, the system's indifferent voice rang out at just the right moment:
Lancelot's loyalty has been increased to 70 (deep identification).
Let's look back at Lancelot.
He looked again at the higher water spirit and made the choice to extend one of his hands and accept its submission.
Time returns to the present.
Arthur stared at a blue water droplet mark on the back of Lancelot's right hand, from which a pure water elemental fluctuation emanated from time to time.
The high-ranking water spirit then parasitized Lancelot's body.
According to Lancelot later, the water spirit was something similar to a third-tier magical beast.
It parasitizes Lancelot's body, needing only a small amount of his life force.
Lancelot's vitality greatly benefits its advancement.
Therefore, in order to help Lancelot grow, it paid far more with pure water elements than it could draw life force from Lancelot.
The infusion of pure water elements not only did not burden his body, but also greatly accelerated his practice of the Knight Breathing Technique, "Lake Heart Breathing Technique".
Unsurprisingly, his cultivation level also broke through to the mid-stage of the Black Iron Rank.
