675 Mad Wolf (1/2)
Monger World.
The newly promoted Knight Luhn rode his horse, a team of more than ten following behind.
Being under the command of Baron Shawshank, he naturally had the obligation to pay a formal visit to his lord.
However, the gift that he brought along was very light. After all, in this era, the powers and obligations of the lords and vassals were relative. If a large gift was rashly paid as tribute, it could either make the other party feel they were easily bullied or that the giver had ulterior motives.
”Knight Jorah's obligation has already been carried out this year, while the tribute needed for the inheritance is calculated elsewhere, so the gift does not need to be too ceremonious. Just a simple one will do… ”
Knight Luhn, who was thinking silently, suddenly shuddered all over.
”Sir Knight?”
A guard beside him immediately walked up and had an intuition that some transformation had happened.
Upon closer inspection, he discovered nothing different.
Suddenly, the knight's voice rang out, ”Garce! Find us a place to rest.”
Not understanding why, Garce felt that this voice was more majestic than before.
The entire team instantly stopped, found a flat land near the rivulet, and set up a bonfire and an iron pan. Some of the servants, who already had a knowing look in their eyes, rolled out a huge rug piece and respectfully invited the knight to take a seat.
The people who were busy did not know that, at this instant, a groundbreaking transformation was already happening to their knight.
Fang Yuan's True Spirit returned and instantly took over this Magical Clone. So, is this the time to present myself to the baron?
He was now not a normal knight. Ever since he had inherited Glendon's legacy, he had become the target of all public criticism.
In other words, the number of people who had hopes for him was equal to the number of people who hated him to the core.
At this moment, this was the best opportunity!
”Fortunately, I eventually caught up.”
Fang Yuan took a deep breath. Within the True Spirit, a concentrated layer of fighting spirit appeared and instantly coursed through his entire body, causing the joints in his body to release a crisp explosive sound.
”With the time advantage of the Heavenly Abode, I'm already beginning to absorb a bit of fighting spirit power…”
The way Fang Yuan did things was naturally not to forgo future gains for instant gratification. Rather, he used a method of commission where fundamentally half of the cultivators on the Yin-Yang Continent were working for him.
With the population of the continent, even a tiny bit was not to be scoffed at when gathered, even after going through purification and damage from traversing worlds.
”The technique of fighting spirit is that it becomes awakened attributes after coagulating the seeds. After that… should be contracting it around the entire body to become a 'Fighting Armor'. At this stage, you would already be a high-level professional.
”However, since the outsiders all think that I have inherited everything from Glendon, then the level of the Disaster Knight can't be too low…”
Although he partially looked down on this mystical profession, Fang Yuan still had to admit that the halo skill was very useful.
In this aspect, as there was a command previously, and his Magical Clone had been trained to search for and gather materials, there was some progress.
Fang Yuan took a look at his stats window and saw that there was already a huge transformation.
”Name: Luhn (Fang Yuan)
Essence: 50.0 (200)
Spirit: 50.0 (200)
Magic: 50.0 (200)
Profession: Warrior (Master), Disaster Knight
Cultivation: Fighting Armor, Disaster Halo (Level 1)
Skill: [Medicine (Level 3)], [Botany (Level 6)(Peak)], [Fiery Golden Eyes (Level 3)], [Body Seal (Ultimate form)]”
”Fighting Armor: An advanced technique of the warrior, forming an armor consisting of fighting spirit on the exterior of the body, greatly increasing defense and magical resistance!”
”Disaster Halo: An Area of Effect skill enhancing targeted objects within a hundred meter range. Currently level one. Can have additional effects: Speed Enhancing, Brute Force, and Implication!”
…
”Level one Disaster Halo enhances friendly allies, and level two will be to weaken and curse enemies. Once it reaches the third and fourth level, the area of effect will have a frightening expansion. In other words, at the late stages, it is literally the inchoate form of a domain. No wonder the Disaster Knight is a mystical profession.”
After carefully looking at these numbers, Fang Yuan was generally pleased.
Different from what outsiders thought—that he still required a year, or even a few years, to digest it—he had already completely grasped the power of the Disaster Knight. Furthermore, even within the high-level professions, he was among the superior ones.
”Unless it's a Quasi-Legend or a huge army, nobody is able to resist me. Not sure how many people will send themselves over to die this time?”
Fang Yuan drank up the broth he was carrying, his face revealing a sense of expectation.
”Sir Knight! There is a situation in front!”
At this moment, a scout hurriedly walked over. ”It seems that Haier Village was attacked.”
”Did you observe carefully?”
Fang Yuan instantly straightened his body.
”I clearly saw that in the direction of the village, thick smoke was billowing over, and there was even the sound of warhorses. It seems it was attacked by bandits!” the scout respectfully reported.
”This place is already under the jurisdiction of Baron Shawshank, right?”
Fang Yuan sighed. ”As a vassal, I seem to have the obligation of helping. Garce, help me put on my armor.”
The knight armor was similar to the metal cans from the Middle Ages, and it was difficult to put on alone, requiring a squire's assistance.
Even an Extraordinary would not be willing to casually carry tens or hundreds of pounds when moving about.
After a moment, clad in armor, Fang Yuan reached the outskirts of Haier Village.
