After becoming a Knight of the Round Table, not only did Kail receive the corrections and bonuses of character growth, but he also received three of Liang Lidong's character specializations.
Uncontrollable Fury, Agile Movement, and Wisdom.
Although he hadn't fully awakened the Hero bloodline, with the combination of the three character specializations, plus the Swordsmanship Specialization that he had learned, the Hero's Charge that he had already comprehended, and the effect of the character attribute correction brought by the Knight of the Round Table system, his current abilities were not much worse than Kail's from the prophecy when he had awakened the Hero bloodline at the same level.
Because of the Prophecy illusion, Emma was very clear about Kail's strength. Although the current Kail was slightly weaker than the Kail in the prophecy, she felt that the current Kail was much stronger.
Because he had a good teacher who was willing to be taught, and compared to the Hero in the prophecy who became a hothead because of the destruction of his family, he was more flexible and wouldn't act impulsively.
Now, Emma was more and more curious about Liang Lidong's Knight conferment ability. If she weren't the Holy Lady, if she were free, she would also want to become a Knight of the Round Table.
The skeleton was burned to ashes by Kail, and the white shimmer of the black coffin was gradually dissipating. The magic patterns engraved on it were also gradually fading, and Liang Lidong sensed that the Legendary-level law of causality had disappeared.
As a player, it was perfectly normal to loot the spoils of war after clearing a dungeon.
Liang Lidong opened the lid of the coffin and found a lot of gold coins and gems piled up inside. The total value should be about two hundred gold coins. Divided equally according to the number of people in the team, each person would get more than forty gold coins, which was a good reward.
But Liang Lidong didn't care about these things. He was more interested in whether there would be magic equipment or magic materials left behind from ancient times.
After rummaging in the coffin for a while, he did find a small thing.
A ring with a white crown and a silver ring fell into his palm, and the other three leaned over. They could feel the harmonious magic waves emanating from this little jewelry.
Liang Lidong carefully identified it. As a master of magic theory, he was quite good at identifying magic equipment. It didn't take long for the results to come out.
"This is a ring for women that can increase the speed at which light magic elements gather. However, none of us here are proficient in light magic. How about we sell it as spoils of war and split the money among us? "
Kail said in surprise, "Teacher, we can also get money. How are we going to split it?"
"Of course it's an equal share," Liang Lidong said as a matter of course. This was an unspoken rule in the game.
The three of them looked at each other. It wasn't that they weren't interested in splitting the spoils of war, but that there was no such rule in this era. Generally speaking, after a mercenary team completed a mission. The members would indeed receive some rewards, but they would only be a few gold coins. At most, it would not exceed 10 gold coins.
Now, just the gold coins and gems in the coffin alone would be enough for each of them to have dozens of gold coins if they were to divide them equally. In addition to the ring, if they sold it, they would have even more gold coins.
After all, magic equipment was very expensive.
The four of them returned to Todd Manor. Julie and Joshua were already waiting for them outside the door.
As soon as they saw the four of them, they rushed over. Joshua swung his arms, his eyes filled with ecstasy. He wanted to say something. He wanted to say something, but he was so excited that he couldn't say anything.
Liang Lidong saw that the abscesses on his body had begun to scab, and there were no signs of them bursting. This meant that the curse on them had disappeared.
Julie didn't say anything. She just bowed deeply to Liang Lidong and the others, and didn't straighten up for a long time.
Many times, words filled with gratitude couldn't reflect the feelings of the person involved as much as a sincere action.
Seeing the two of them, Kail was happy for them. However, he soon became unhappy and went upstairs to find a room to rest.
Alice looked at him and was a little worried. She wanted to go and persuade him, but Emma stopped her. Emma pulled her back and said, "Don't go. Let him reflect on himself. Things like this will happen more often in the future. Our opponent is a demon god, and he has many powerful and cunning subordinates. If Kail isn't vigilant enough, things like this will happen again in the future.
"Sir Beta and I can't be by his side all the time, so he has to learn how to distinguish truth from lies."
Alice was a little worried, but Emma's words made sense, so she could only let it go.
Although the manor looked a little barren, Alice's unicorn liked the smell of nature very much. It walked around the yard, and soon began to eat the tender leaves on a patch of grass.
But Liang Lidong walked over and pushed it away, then used the Fallen Emperor Sword that Kail had returned to him to dig a hole in the grass. This attracted the attention of others. Not only Emma and Alice, but even Joshua and Julie came over.
Very quickly, Liang Lidong dug out a small chest from under the turf. Opening it, he found six gold coins and a dozen silver coins.
Emma looked at Joshua and asked, "Is this the money you hid here?"
Looking at the coat of arms on the box and the gold coins, Joshua shook his head. "It's not ours. I don't know the coat of arms, so it probably doesn't belong to any known family in Sisilia."
Liang Lidong picked up a gold coin and looked at it. "This is a gold coin from the ancestral kingdom. There's a weak magic array on the box, so it hasn't decayed after a long time. It's ownerless, but it belongs to us now."
Emma was even more curious. "How do you know there's a box of money down there?"
Alice suddenly clapped her hands. "I remember now. Kail said that Sir Beta was blessed by Goddess Woking and could pick up money from time to time, so Sir Beta never had to worry about money."
There was such a blessing? Emma felt that she had broadened her horizons. She was the Saintess of the Storm. Logically speaking, she should be the most beloved person of the Storm Goddess, second only to the Pope. But even so, she had never received any blessing from the Storm Goddess.
This Goddess Woking that no one had ever heard of was too generous to her followers.
Liang Lidong put the box into his spatial backpack. He was in urgent need of a large amount of money. Although five gold coins was not much, no matter how small a mosquito was, it was still meat. Any wealth had to be saved up bit by bit.
Although it didn't take much effort to go back and forth to the quarry, Liang Lidong still felt a little hungry. He asked Emma and Alice to help him. He used the dry food and cured meat in his spatial bag to make dinner.
Kail was attracted by the aroma. The dinner was well received by everyone.
After dinner, everyone was free to do whatever they wanted. Everyone was free to do whatever they wanted. Emma and Alice went shopping, Kyle acted as the flower protector, and Joshua and Julia stayed in the manor. Although they had started to recover, the abscesses on their bodies had not completely disappeared. If they went out rashly, they would only scare the flowers and plants.
Liang Lidong stayed in the manor too. He began to make magic scrolls.
This was part of his money-making plan. Naturally, he wouldn't delay it.
After making a dozen scrolls, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in!" Liang Lidong set up the best magic nodes, and another scroll was completed.
The door opened, and Joshua walked in. His eyes were filled with apprehension and uneasiness, but they quickly became firm. He went straight to the point and said, "Sir Beta, I hope to become your student. I hope to learn under your guidance. I hope to learn magic under your guidance. "
"Why?" asked Liang Lidong as he made magic scrolls.
Joshua's eyes were bright. "Because I want to revitalize the Todd family."
Liang Lidong shook his head and said, "Lies."
Joshua was stunned. He did not expect this. He didn't expect the other party to be so straightforward. After a brief silence, he said, "Yes, what I said just now was a lie. I don't care about the Todd Family anymore. I just don't want to become a cripple that others say I'm useless. I don't want others to look down on me. On the contrary, I want those who look down on me to regret it. "
"How do you want them to regret?" Liang Lidong raised his head and asked, "Kill them?"
The moonlight shone through the window, scattering the white moonlight on the ground. Joshua's murderous aura gradually disappeared. His expression was very confused. "I don't know. I've imagined it more than once. Wait until the day I get rid of the curse and gain strength. I alone beat up those who betrayed our family. I even wanted to kill the worst few … But now, I don't hate them as much, but I don't want them to look down on me. "
Liang Lidong put down his work and looked straight into Joshua's eyes. It was as if he could see his soul through Joshua's eyes. "Especially your fiancée?"
Joshua's body immediately stiffened. The murderous aura that he had just dispersed gathered again.
Liang Lidong nodded. "No problem. You're also a professional. I can teach you magic, and even sword arts. But I have a request. I won't get involved in your personal grudges. If you want to take revenge, even if your life is in danger, I won't save you, nor will I help you. What do you think? "
"Okay!" Joshua nodded. He didn't want others to help him take revenge.
"When Kail comes back, tell him to make you a Lesser Knight." Liang Lidong resumed his scroll-making work. "I don't know what your potential is, but the fact that you were able to become a professional and endure this painful curse for so long means that you must have a very strong soul and willpower. This is a very powerful talent. I believe that those who have offended others will have to go through this in the future."
Joshua didn't know what the Knight Appointment ability could do. "Mr. Beta, I just want to learn magic from you. I don't want to become anyone's Knight."
Liang Lidong waved his hand at him and gestured for him to leave. "Get out. When Kail returns, he will explain everything to you in detail. You won't regret becoming a Lesser Knight. "
Joshua wanted to say something, but when he saw that Liang Lidong was immersed in making magic scrolls again, he bowed and left the room.
He was now the butler of this manor. His identity was different, and he couldn't do as he pleased.
He and Julie cleaned the manor together. Since there were no extra servants, they had to do it themselves.
However, he wasn't focused on cleaning. Instead, he was thinking about his conversation with Liang Lidong. He couldn't understand what his desire to learn magic had to do with becoming a Lesser Knight.
Joshua waited anxiously for Kail's return.
The two girls came back empty-handed, but Kail had a few big bags on him. Two of them were tied to his body, and he was almost covered in them.
Joshua stepped forward and helped Kail with part of the burden. He then told Kail what Liang Lidong had asked him to do.
"What? My teacher wants me to make you a Lesser Knight?" Kail was a little surprised, but he quickly patted Joshua's shoulder. "Tsk, tsk. You're so lucky."
Emma also had a look of envy on her face. Alice was already a Knight of the Round Table, so she did not have any thoughts about it. However, she suddenly thought that she should also confer a few lesser knights to protect herself.
Summoners were powerful, but they relied on the abilities of their summoned beasts. They were still very weak.
Joshua looked at Kail, and then at Emma. He finally believed that the title of Lesser Knight had a special meaning.
"Come, follow me to my room." Kail pulled Joshua along. "I'll make you a Lesser Knight right now, but it'll be a little painful. You'll have to bear with it, but I can promise you that you won't regret becoming a Lesser Knight."
With complicated feelings, Emma parted ways with Alice. She wanted to go back to her room to sleep, but she didn't know why she walked to Liang Lidong's room.
She stood in front of the door for a long time, confused. She seemed to have a lot of things to tell him, but she didn't know what to say. It was a strange feeling.
"Come in."
A calm and gentle male voice came from the room … After interacting with him for the past two or three days, Emma knew that Beta wasn't a domineering person. He just didn't like to show his true feelings. In fact, he was a very gentle man.
But he wasn't an honest person either. He was a man with his own bottom line and principles.
Emma pushed open the door and walked into the room. The first thing she saw was a small mountain of magic scrolls on Liang Lidong's desk.
He had actually made so many … For some reason, Emma suddenly felt a little embarrassed. She and Alice only knew how to go shopping, but this man was silently doing what he was supposed to do. In the past two days, she felt that she didn't have to think too much about anything. She just had to follow him.
Now that she thought about it, it was this man in front of her who had quietly arranged everything for the three of them in a corner that she couldn't see.
What was a mature man? This was the one.
Those nobles in Northshire who said they would protect her did little things for her, and then they spread it everywhere. It was as if the whole world should know how much they loved and cared for her.
Compared to the person in front of him, it was simply laughable.
Emma in the moonlight, smiling quietly, was fatally attractive and beautiful.
