Chapter 65 Advanced Knight!
Two things.
One is a crown shaped like thorns, made of white jade.
The Holy Crown of Thorns is said to be a test specially customized by God for some special believers. Wearing it will cause bloodshed and a hundred claws to scratch the heart.
Even so, you cannot change your faith to pass God’s test.
One is a long black nail.
It is also called the Holy Nail.
In folklore, the incarnation of a certain god walking on earth died when a holy nail was nailed to the heart.
At this time, the two items flew up on their own from the package, and traces of breath wafted out of them.
The breath dispersed into the fragments of the divine realm.
The fragment space also began to expand.
At the same time.
Essence: 0.6
The two items brought 0.6 Essence to Karl, which is an increase of 0.3 when used to add points.
The City Guard occupies the entire Black City, allowing them to treat it as a treasured item. Sure enough, there are good things.
This is obviously an unexpected surprise!
Karl waved out the data panel.
Name: Carl
Physique: 1.47
Mental strength: 1.92
Essence: 0.6
Occupation: Knight Squire, Intermediate Sorcerer Apprentice
The change is not big, just from the junior wizard apprentice to the intermediate level, the Essence is no longer zero.
Karl touched his chin.
He did not intend to retain the source of energy for later use, but he was struggling with whether to add it to physical strength or mental strength.
Increasing spiritual power is undoubtedly more beneficial to the practice of the wizard's path, but it is difficult to effectively transform it into strength for the time being.
Increase physical fitness...
It is beneficial in the short term, but not cost-effective in the long term.
"Add physical fitness!"
Karl's eyes froze, and the value in the physical fitness column jumped slightly, rising directly from 1.47 to 1.77.
We’ll talk about the rest later.
The experience in Black City has proved that for him now, improving his physical fitness is more secure.
"Well..."
The warm air rushed through the body, and the enhanced strength made Karl subconsciously clenched his hands.
"This power..."
"It can definitely crush ordinary knights!"
Even facing knights who have mastered fighting spirit, Karl is now confident that he can win.
Also...
Life Potion!
The three bottles of life potion he took out were placed on the table one by one. He turned around and found a crystal ball.
The crystal ball is a low-quality enchanted item.
Can perform analysis three times.
Holding a crystal ball in his hand, Carl mobilized his mental energy and mouthed the syllables:
"茌...莹..."
"唰!"
As the voice fell, the crystal ball glowed with soft white light, and the halo fell, covering the three bottles of life potion.
Karl narrowed his eyes and looked at the life potion through the crystal ball.
White light!
Three groups of white light swayed slightly, some were larger, some were smaller, and one of them was mixed with black lines.
“Impurities?”
The life potion mixed with black lines means that the materials were not processed well during the refining process, resulting in a small amount of impurities in the finished product, which will inevitably affect the efficacy of the medicine when taken.
The size of the light group and the intensity of the light represent the quality of the medicine.
There are no other colors, indicating that there is no manipulation, such as poisoning, in the potion.
Picking up the best quality life potion among the three bottles, Karl walked to the place where he used to practice, raised his head and swallowed the potion directly.
No hesitation,
No hesitation.
He actually chose this time to break through directly.
“My current physique is much stronger than that of ordinary knights, and I have the perfect control of the physical body with the fragments of the divine domain. There is no reason why I will fail to break through.”
Karl exhaled a long breath and put himself in a good position. Posture, Silent Movement Giant Spirit Breathing Method.
“Huh…”
"Breathe!"
"Exhale..."
As the breathing continues and the method operates, the life energy hidden deep in the body is stimulated bit by bit.
The life potion submerged in the body turned into countless warm currents, flowing from the intestines and stomach to the limbs and bones.
In Carl’s perception.
His whole body is like a reciprocating life force field, and the core of the force field...
is the heart!
"Plop!"
"Plop!"
With the continuous infusion of life energy, the heart beats more powerfully, and the blood flows even more loudly. Like an endless river.
"Condensation!"
With his mind concentrated, the giant spirit's breathing method changed accordingly, and a huge suction force emerged from the heart and swept over the whole body.
Countless strands of life energy suddenly gathered inward.
Time seems to have stood still.
Karl’s consciousness also fell into confusion.
at some point.
Like spring thunder, everything sprouts.
A breath symbolizing vitality emerged from Karl's body, and the abundant breath of life washed back and forth across his limbs and bones.
Seed of Life!
The location is where the heart is.
Carl opened his eyes, thoughtful.
“The so-called life seed is actually the heart. The blood flows through the heart, and the nutrients it brings will strengthen the life seed.”
“The breath of life contained in the life seed will also change with the blood. Flow and nourish the knight's body."
"The two are in harmony. They complement each other until the seeds of life are watered with enough nutrients to take root and sprout in the body, which is the great knight."
"If the roots of the seeds of life extend to all parts of the body, then the true evolution of life is completed. It should be the legendary knight.”
The so-called knight training.
It is the process that allows life to evolve.
Karl stopped his movements and stood up from the ground. As he stretched his limbs, a crackling sound sounded.
The sound was like firecrackers at first, and gradually became like thunder.
Until…
"Boom!"
The invisible aura pushed away the surrounding air, and Karl's clothes shook rapidly and made a loud noise.
Fighting spirit!
Fighting energy that can increase the attack power and defense of the knight, and even pose a threat to invisible beings such as undead and ghosts!
Only knights with strong vitality and a certain degree of mastery of breathing techniques can inspire fighting spirit.
Many knights never master this skill in their lifetime.
Today.
Karl has just condensed the seeds of life and has been able to release them not long after he became an official knight.
This is also normal.
Although he has just advanced, his vitality is already stronger than that of ordinary knights. Coupled with the perfect control of the body by the fragments of the divine domain, and the meticulous practice of breathing techniques, it is natural to inspire fighting spirit.
"Whoa!"
Karl grabbed the broad sword on the side and waved it casually.
The heavy sword was as light as straw in his hand, and when the speed reached a certain level, it even screamed through the air.
Waving with fighting spirit.
Blinking his eyes, a few meters around him were almost completely covered by the shadow of the sword.
What once required a lot of effort to achieve can now be achieved with almost no effort.
"Peng!"
The broad sword hit the ground hard. If it weren't for the fragments of the divine realm, a shallow pit would have been made even if it was a rock base.
“It’s great!”
Karl felt that his muscles and bones were relaxed and his endless energy could not be released, so he couldn’t help but shout loudly.
Then he waved his hand to bring out the data panel.
He felt that after becoming a knight, he seemed to have been reborn, and his strength should have made great progress.
Name: Carl
Physique: 2.1
Mental Power: 2
Essence: 0
Occupation: Knight, Intermediate Wizard Apprentice
"Huh?"
Karl's eyes changed slightly:
"Such a big change!"
After becoming a knight, his data panel has changed drastically.
The occupation column was changed from knight squire to knight, and the physical constitution increased directly from 1.77 to 2.1.
Even the mental power has increased from 1.92 to 2.
"To condense the seeds of life and complete the evolution of the body, it is normal to improve the physical fitness, but the increase is such a large..."
Karl was thoughtful:
"There should be a reason for the Giant Spirit Breathing Technique!"
The Giant Spirit Breathing Technique is said to be a practice method personally passed down by the gods to sin-loyal believers to protect their own kingdom and resist the invasion of foreign gods.
It is clearly written that this breathing method can greatly improve physical fitness, especially strength.
It allows mortals to have the power of ancient giants!
And mental power...
"A strong body means enough spirit, not to mention that the evolution of the body includes the mind."
"It is understandable to strengthen it a little."
"In short."
Karl moved his arms:
"I am so powerful now. An ordinary knight in front of me would fall down if he couldn't take a few moves."
"Well..."
After thinking for a while, he looked at the clock beside him, with a hint of surprise on his face.
"It's been two days already?"
The clock not only recorded the time, but also the date. At this time, two days had passed since he took the life potion.
It feels like it only takes a moment.
*
*
*
The grass shook, and Karl’s figure appeared out of thin air.
“Huh?”
As soon as he returned to the other world, he noticed that the atmosphere around him was different, and subconsciously looked in the direction of the Black City.
The Black City is shrouded in gray fog all year round.
Looking from outside the city, the city looks like a giant beast entrenched on the ground, with an ominous gray aura permeating its entire body.
The thick fog lingers. City walls, towers, buildings, etc. are looming and appear very mysterious.
now.
A continuous gray air column appeared in the middle of the black city, and countless gray smoke escaped in all directions.
Just like...
Countless tentacles are wrapped in thick fog, centering on the Black City, and expanding towards the surrounding wilderness and mountains.
Wherever he passed, everything in the area covered by thick fog withered away.
With the naked eye, you can see that the green mountains and forests have withered and the birds have fallen. You can imagine the situation in the city.
I’m afraid...
It’s hard to escape!
“Boom!”
“Boom…”
Waves of air like tsunamis came one after another from the center of the Black City.
The trees in the surrounding mountains and forests were shaking, the animals were panicking and running in all directions, and even the clouds in the sky were pushed away.
“What happened?”
Karl’s face turned pale and he subconsciously took a step back.
At this time, Black City was like a furious beast, unbridledly releasing the anger that had been suppressed for a long time.
Even though they were far apart, the invisible pressure still made Carl feel anxious and like he was facing a formidable enemy.
Look closely.
On the edge of the dense fog, there are many black spots that are desperately trying to escape before the fog expands.
City guards, traders, mining slaves...
No matter what their identities were before, they are now panicked escapees.
He ran away slowly and was shrouded in mist. He screamed and fell to the ground, losing his life in the blink of an eye.
Fortunately, the expansion speed of the fog is not too fast, so adults can still hope to escape by speeding up and running.
But the manpower is limited, but the fog is tireless, and more and more people are still getting involved in it.
"Gulu..."
Karl's throat rolled, he turned around and ran towards the back.
Such a divine power was beyond the power of human beings to resist. The confidence he had just gained from becoming a knight was gone in an instant.
This place is far away from the Black City, so there is no need to worry about being overtaken by the fog for the time being. You can also see three or five people on the road.
The people who escaped may be in groups or alone. No matter who they are, they are very wary of others.
No one said anything.
They are all running around.
After running for some distance, a noise came from the front. Karl looked up and his eyes couldn't help but move slightly.
I saw two teams fighting at the edge of the woods.
On one side were men and women, all of them were in ragged clothes, with sallow complexion and thin skin. They were supposed to be people fleeing the black city. Although they were large in number, they were obviously at a disadvantage.
On the other side, most of them are well-armed and well-armed, and they move forward and retreat in a well-arranged manner, but they are city guards.
"Sir, can't we just keep everything?" Someone shouted while doing something:
"What you want is something, there is no need to kill people!"
"Hmph!"
The rider on horseback waved his spear and coldly said:
"Now Just say it, it’s too late!”
Before the voice fell, the rider’s legs suddenly clamped together, the horse under his crotch accelerated instantly, and the spear in his hand was thrust out.
"Poof!"
The spear penetrated the chest of the speaker, was picked up high by the rider, and then fell heavily to the grass.
My body twitched after landing, but there was no sound again.
“Brother Six!”
Some people among the people shouted in grief and anger:
"Fight with them!"
"Kill!"
"Kill one and you won't lose, but kill two and you will gain. Brothers, don't be afraid, let's go together!"
Although the crowd kept shouting and boosting morale, it could not make up for the gap in strength between the two sides.
There are several knights and attendants on the city guard side, and there is even a top master among the knights and attendants.
Resistance was suppressed with visible speed.
"Whoosh!"
"Pfft!"
A city guard brandished his long sword and was about to cut down a person when his body suddenly stiffened and he fell limply to the ground. .
On the back of his head, blood and brain matter gushed out, as if something had crushed his head.
"Lu!"
The expressions of the nearby city guards changed drastically when they saw this, and their eyes turned and fell on Karl on the periphery of the battlefield.
“Is that you?”
He pointed the knife and rushed over.
“Huh…”
Carl chuckled.
At the same time, he waved his arms gently, and the glowing arcane missiles flew out one after another.
The power of the arcane missile is no less than that of a powerful arrow. Once it hits a vital point, even the knight's squire will not be spared.
It is even easier to deal with ordinary soldiers.
“Dang!”
An arcane missile knocked away the weapon.
"Peng!"
Another arcane missile took the opportunity to hit the armor, and a crack opened in the fragile armor in an instant.
"Poof!"
The last arcane missile found the opening and entered.
The soldier's body trembled, and he fell to the ground following his companions. The whole process took only a few breaths.
"Seal?"
"Be careful!"
"He can't do it a few times!"
A group of city guards shouted when they saw this. , panic followed by anger, and two of the riders took the lead in turning their horses and rushing towards Karl.
It is very rare to find such a powerful seal.
But no matter what kind of seal is cast, it will consume energy, and it is difficult to cast continuously in a short period of time.
In their simple understanding, there are no exceptions.
Karl raised his hand.
Fire Seal!
Fire Seal!
Arcane Missiles!
......
Fireballs the size of washbasins flew out one after another and exploded in the air. The flames shocked the horses and caused them to scream and raise their front hooves.
In chaos.
The arcane missile is like a dagger in the hand of an assassin, penetrating into the rider's throat and quickly reaping the life.
Karl moved forward while casting spells. Arcane missiles and fire seals were cast in turn, and the city guards fell to the ground one after another.
Attack from a distance.
There are arcane missiles.
Middle distance,
There is a fire mark.
Melee combat.
He is not afraid!
A team of more than a dozen city guards and several horses were unable to resist Karl alone.
Even.
Not even escaping!
The speed at which a horse can change direction is far inferior to the speed at which arcane missiles strike, and turning around and running away will expose one's own vital points.
This was a one-sided massacre. It was not a group of city guards surrounding Karl, but him killing the city guards alone.
"Boom!"
The fireball hit the war horse and exploded. The powerful explosion directly tore the horse and the people on it into pieces.
The next moment,
blood and flesh were flying everywhere in the field.
‘Sure enough! ’
‘The wizard kills people quickly, just like the God of Death mowing grass, and it is more secure without having to get close. '
'An elite team of more than a dozen people, even if the official knights come, they have to avoid the edge temporarily. Even if they win in the end, they will inevitably be injured, let alone annihilate them all. ’
'But the wizard...'
'Can solve it easily! ’
While taking action, Karl was even in the mood to think.
"Generally speaking, knights have an advantage in one-on-one situations in relatively small spaces, while wizards are stronger in other situations."
"Well..."
"The strength of a wizard is related to the witchcraft he masters, as well as the magical items and potions on his body."
"The strength of a knight is more pure."
In just a few moments, all the city guards who had been showing off their power before fell to the ground dead or injured.
Karl walked towards the crowd.
“Don’t be nervous.”
He saw the nervousness of a group of people, stopped in front of the team, and asked:
"I just want to know what happened in the Black City?"
"Ride...Master Knight. "
A middle-aged man walked out of the crowd and stammered:
"Thank you for your help. You can take whatever you want here."
Although Karl has never used martial arts, in their understanding, such a strong person must be a knight, and it is always right to call him Lord Knight.
“I said it.”
Karl shook his head:
“I just want to know what happened in the Black City?”
“Yes, yes .”
The man nodded repeatedly and said:
“We don’t know what happened, we only know that there was a sudden burst of Yin Qi in Pit No. 2.”
“In a short period of time, the entire Black City They were all shrouded in Yin Qi, and many people had strange changes on the spot."
Recalling the situation at that time, there was a strong fear on the faces of everyone present.
“At that time, the city was in chaos and the city gates were damaged. We took advantage of the chaos and left the city. Later, we heard that another yin energy broke out in Pit No. 2.”
"Now..."
He looked in the direction of the Black City and shook his head slightly:
"I'm afraid there is no one alive in the entire Black City!"
"Knight Master, we don’t know exactly what happened. We only know that it has something to do with what’s at the bottom of Pit No. 2.” Carl nodded slowly when he heard this.
Under Pit No. 2?
No surprise!
"Then..." the man said cautiously:
"Master Knight, can we leave?"
"Let's go."
Karl waved his hand, turned around and came to a seriously injured city guard, squatted down and said slowly:
"Now, it's your turn."
