"Mad Knight" this term, Levi has heard of it a long time ago, it refers to those knights who practice breathing method and become mad.
Now I personally feel the primitive desire to turn into a terrifying beast, drink blood, and kill.
He was a little shocked, and even doubted whether the knight's way was correct. These knight breathing methods, according to the standards of previous martial arts novels, are all proper cultivation art. Should he continue to practice? But when he thought of the terrifying evil spirits, those greedy and sinister nobles, and the continuous war brought by the disputes between the kingdoms, he immediately strengthened his will.
Of all the things in the world, life and death are the most important. When alive, everything is possible!
The knight is the only way to protect me that I came into contact with at present!
"I will pay attention, thank you, Sir Fred, for the reminder." Levi thanked.
I may have to find a way to make money. If this continues, the barren Black Water Valley will not be able to support two knights. I don't want to turn into mad knight and be killed by the "Bright Knights" of the church.
Fred nodded and continued: "Next, you need to wear the armour every day, hold a shield and carry out weight-bearing training to increase the difficulty, so that you can exert the power of the breathing method in actual combat, and will not be dragged down by the armour"
"In addition, to the breathing method, there is a formula for the black snake secret medicine, the young master should also write it down." Knight Fred reminded.
Levi nodded. In order to speed up the practice of excellent quality breathing method, it needs to be matched with the corresponding secret medicine.
Black snake secret medicine, the formula is not complicated: 50 grams of snake blood, 1 snake gallbladder, 10 grams of green water turtle shell powder, 10 grams of plant ash, three pieces of mandrake petals, one drop of ambergris, one drop of liquid amber, and one 100ml of pure water.
These materials, except for ambergris, are not difficult to find, nor are they expensive. Among them, snake blood and snake gallbladder can be of any snake, but different snakes have different effects.
Ambergris, this is a bit troublesome. The ambergris in this world is not the product in the belly of the sperm whale in the previous life. Instead, it comes from the glands in the mouth of a land giant called "Earth Drake Beast".
Earth drake, according to the bards of the kingdom, is known as one of the most dangerous animals in the wilderness. They are powerful and invulnerable, and they are a frequent mentioned in knightly travels and bard stories, similar to the drakes in Drake Quest stories.
In addition, the earth drake has another characteristic, they like to devour shiny things, such as gold coins and gems.
Under normal circumstances, to deal with an adult earth drake, A great knight must directly kill the humanoid tyrannosaurus beast with the best weapon, or more than five formal knights use traps to trap the earth drake with poison and use big damage attack like the armour-piercing crossbow to hunt.
One of the legendary deeds of the legendary knight "Lionheart Knight" Ryan before he became a legend was to single-handedly hunt down an adult male earth drake beast that caused disaster in the north of the kingdom.
Previously, three great knights went to hunt and kill an adult earth drake beast, but all failed, and even a young great knight fell because of this.
In the end, the Lionheart Knight succeeded. He also found a total of 8,000 gold coins and priceless jewels in the belly of the earth drake beast.
In the era of cold weapons, hunting earth drake beasts is not easy. Therefore, not only the price of ambergris remains high, but it is often priceless in the market.
A small bottle of ambergris is worth one hundred gold coins, can be exchanged for five sets of well-made knight armour, twenty healthy young and middle-aged serfs, or one hundred cows.
With the current financial resources of the down-and-out lord Levi, even if he sells iron and exploits the serfs to death, he still cannot afford it.
"I'm just starting now, and I don't need to mix the secret medicine yet, so I'll have to take it slowly."
In the following time, Levi started to increase proficiency of breathing method step by step, and he didn't feel boring at all.
In addition to increase experience, Fred Knight would introduce some basic theoretical knowledge of knights to Levi, which benefited Levi a lot.
Knight's breathing method is a kind of training technique that adjusts the breathing rhythm, makes different action postures, and stimulates the blood potential in the knight's body, thereby strengthening the body and improving the knight's physique, strength, endurance, speed and other aspects of physical fitness.
This kind of improvement is far beyond normal fitness exercises, so you must eat a lot of calories after each practice. After all, there is no so-called "spiritual energy" in this world.
Although it is an all-round improvement of physical fitness, different breathing methods have different emphases. The black snake breathing method focuses on defence.
After this breathing method has been practiced to a small degree, you can start to try to condense the seeds of life and advance to a formal knight. After that, your overall physical fitness will be greatly improved, and you will have an ability to resist attacks that exceeds the average damage number of times.
In addition, a light black fluid-like Qi will appear on the surface of the knight's arms, making the skin and flesh of the knight's arms as tough and grass-resistant as rubber products.
Although it is still not invulnerable to swords and guns, it is not bad, it can offset ordinary blunt weapon.
This kind of thin Qi is generally called "black Qi" by knights, but the official statement of the Holy Radiance Church calls it "sacred power", saying that the power of knights comes from the holy father of heaven.
In this era of kings, the masters behind the great kingdoms are often the church. Levi felt that the church's statement was purely to make money. For the convenience of people, religion is best at this kind of thing. Since the God of the church is so powerful, why is it not a priest who knows magic arts, but the "Glorious Knights" formed by our knights who guard the church.
In short, "black Qi" can be born not only by the black snake breathing method, but also by other breathing methods, but the quality, quantity and effect are different.
If it is a breathing method that focuses on speed, "black Qi" may appear on the legs, allowing the knight to have extremely strong explosive speed and agile mobility, far surpassing the athletes of the previous life.
This is the power of the breathing method, not just a method of strengthening the body. When the advanced level becomes a formal knight and the birth of "black Qi", to some extent, the knight has already embarked on the road of extraordinary.
After reaching the level of a great knight, the black Qi generated by the black snake breathing method will cover the whole body and become harder.
Except for a very few places such as the eyes, in a short period of time, the great knight can be invulnerable all over his body, and his ability to resist attacks is comparable to that of an earth drake.
In this era of cold weapons, this is a superhuman. With such strength, equipped with armour, weapons, and horses, and with the powerful fighting skills and fighting awareness of the great knight, he can completely stand up to a thousand on the battlefield and change the situation of a small battle.
Therefore, Levi never believed in the nonsense that his father died in battle.
A father who is already close to the ceiling of human combat power, how could he die on the battlefield? With his strength, even if he can't defeat thousands of troops, it is easy to leave if he wants to leave. Even a great knight of the same level will find it difficult to stop him.
As for the Legendary Knight's move, it is possible, but not very likely. The Legendary Knight's is almost aloof, even if it is the Kingdom and the Church, it is difficult to order it to make a move.
Woods that are beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy them first. Levi can conclude that the death of his father was a conspiracy by the church and the kingdom.
So, he has learned his lesson. Before I have absolute crushing power, I just need to stay in the three-acre land of Black Water Valley.
"Accumulate grain, build high walls, and become king slowly." Taizé's nine-character policy of pacifying the world still applies to Levi.
It's just that he doesn't want to be king, he just wants to be a rich little lord.
Game of Thrones is not something ordinary people are qualified to participate in. As for his future plans, Levi has a lot in mind.
