Chapter 638: 204. Calm Knight_3

In the World of Wizards, knights are, in a certain sense, wizards as well, with the main difference being the broad and narrow meanings of the term.

The narrow sense of a wizard specifically refers to a spellcaster who extracts mana from nature, stores it in their Spiritual Ocean, and then uses Spell Blueprints to unleash it.

In the broader sense, all extraordinary beings who use mana could be referred to as wizards.

The broad and narrow differences solely relate to how one employs mana.

The knights of this world can also use mana.

Their approach differs from that of wizards.

Soul Energy, life force, and physical strength, these three inherent powers of mankind, can all be used to drive mana.

Wizards use their souls to drive mana.

Knights, however, use physical strength to drive mana.

Wizards guide mana through Spell Blueprints, while knights use martial techniques.

Wizards store mana in their Spiritual Ocean while knights house it within their five viscera and six bowels.

Unlike wizards whose Spiritual Ocean can only contain one or a few types of mana specifically, after lengthy training, every organ of a knight’s five viscera and six bowels can each contain one type of mana.

Diverse internal mana and their five viscera and six bowels being periodically eroded by mana guarantees that knights will shoulder a greater physical burden in their strengthening process.

Typically, knights peak during their middle and young age stages. After that point, even restorative foods and healing medicines can’t prevent the accumulating effects of time and mana.

That’s the reason there hasn’t yet been a knight who entered Outer Space.

Currently, the Way of the Knight is almost completely exiting the historical stage.

The only knight group that still exists as an organization is a subordinate power of the Pure Light Court, the Pale Justice.

All other knight groups, regardless of how long they have been around or how glorious they once were, are experiencing serious personnel loss.

The situation for the knights of this world is somewhat similar to that of the witchers in a video game series “Witcher”, but it is also slightly different.

In the “Witcher” video game series, the witchers are an extraordinary race created by powerful casters.

In this world, however, like wizards, knights too are exceptional beings born from natural evolution.

In the present day, where the Way of the Knight is progressively declining, the techniques mastered by knights haven’t disappeared. Instead, they have been absorbed and transformed into magic by wizards.

In a certain sense, the Way of the Knight has been continued by wizards under the name of magic.

The most typical example is Noland’s current residence, the Silent Maiden.

Professor Erica, its founder, was originally a princess from a kingdom that possessed a knightly martial art called White Spirit Swordsmanship.
