Chereads / Demons of the Abyss / Chapter 4 - Chapter 4: Breathing

Chapter 4 - Chapter 4: Breathing

"Hey, Maureen, Maureen, come here."

As soon as he returned to the Duke's Mansion, Richard called Maureen.

"Richard, what's the matter?" Maureen asked confusedly.

After being tested to have wizarding qualities, Maureen no longer called Richard "Master", but simply called Richard by his name. This was suggested by Scolett, and similarly, both Richard and Duke Scolett acquiesced to this change of address.

Richard approached Maureen and whispered, "It's like this, father wants to see you and Kerry, come with me."

As soon as he spoke, Richard pulled Maureen and ran inside.

After passing through many rooms and corridors, Morin saw Duke Scran and Carey near a staircase.

Beside the Duke, there were many knights wearing black armor and with a strong and dignified aura standing. Those knights stood motionless, like sculptures.

"Molin, you are here. How is it? Have you dealt with the matter?" Duke Sclan nodded slightly at Morin.

"Thank you, Your Excellency the Duke, for your concern and help. I have taken care of it."

Maureen answered.

"I don't know, Your Excellency the Duke, what are you doing..." Morin thought about it and couldn't help asking.

"Haha, Morin, you didn't know that the Duke decided to open the family's treasury and let us choose something as a gift for us to become mysterious people." Kaili is a boy with freckles on his face. He said excitedly, "You know, this is the Duke's treasure house. Wow, this is really, really..."

Kaili was so excited that he could hardly stand still and his face turned red.

Maureen glanced at Kerry, then looked away and looked at the Duke with a calm expression.

"Carey is right, Morin, I want to give you a gift." Duke Scran smiled slightly, cut his palm with a dagger, then walked to the stairs and placed his palm somewhere.

Rumble.

The whole room seemed to shake.

At some point, a dark passage appeared near the stairs.

"Okay, let's go in." Duke Scran didn't care about his bleeding palms, he walked in holding a candlestick.

After Maureen and Kerry went in, they and the Duke turned several corners in the dark tunnel before appearing in front of a gray-white stone door.

When Duke Scran opened the stone door, everything inside was revealed.

Mountains of gold coins, various gems, glowing pearls, swords inlaid with colorful gems and pearls...all kinds of things appeared in Morin's eyes at once.

"It's a huge fortune."

After being slightly shocked, Maureen recovered, but Kairi was completely dumbfounded.

"Okay, you guys go in and choose." Duke Scran stepped aside, holding the candlestick in his hand.

Kairi cheered and ran straight in.

Morin nodded slightly to the Duke, then entered the treasury and began to observe carefully.

The treasure house was very bright, with luminous stones inlaid on the stone walls, making everything seem as bright as day.

After taking a quick look at the gems and pearls, Morin walked towards other areas. To him, gems, pearls and gold coins were precious, but that was all.

Suddenly, Morin found himself in an unfamiliar area, filled with bookshelves with books on them.

"Is this... the Knight's Breathing Method?" Morin picked up a book and took a look at it, and was stunned for a moment.

He opened it and saw that, indeed, it clearly described the training methods of the Knight's Breathing Technique. In addition, there were some precautions. It was certain that this was a genuine book.

In addition to the Knight's Breathing Method, Morin also discovered that there were many books on swordsmanship here.

Morin put down the book on Knight's Breathing Method in his hand, glanced at another book on Knight's Breathing Method, and then put it on the bookshelf.

"There are a lot of knight breathing techniques and swordsmanship in these, but which one should I choose?" Morin was a little distressed.

He had already made up his mind here. After all, when he returned to the slums, the chip scanned out Sifan and Ivan. The physical fitness of these two knights shocked Morin. Now that he had the opportunity to obtain the knight's breathing method, Morin certainly would not miss it.

"Ding! Knight No. 1's breathing method has been recorded!"

"Knight No. 2's breathing method has been recorded!"

"May I ask if we can establish a database of Knight's Breathing Techniques?"

Mo Lin listened to the sound of the chip, was subconsciously startled, and said: "Yes."

By the way, he had been turning on the chip scan just now.

"Ding! The database is established."

"Excuse me, can we use Knight Breathing Method No. 1 and Knight Breathing Method No. 2 to generate a new Knight Breathing Method?"

Use Knight Breathing Method No. 1 and Knight Breathing Method No. 2 to generate a new Knight Breathing Method?

Could it be that the chip can collect a lot of knight breathing methods through the database, and then create a more powerful knight breathing method?

Maureen felt her mouth go dry.

He picked up another book on Knight's Breathing Technique, and with a thought in his mind, he said, "Chip, record!"

"Ding! The breathing method of Knight No. 3 has been recorded!"

"Knight Breathing Method No. 3 has been saved in the database."

"Excuse me, can we use the three types of knight breathing methods in the database to generate a new knight breathing method?"

The guess is true!

Morin looked at the numerous knight breathing techniques on the bookshelf and felt excited.

You know, the Sklan family used to be one of the four duke families of the Odin Empire. Although it has declined now, the many knight breathing methods collected by their ancestors in the past thousand years are still there. If the chip collects all the knight breathing methods into the database and then generates a new knight breathing method...

So, how powerful is that knight's breathing method? Whenever Morin thought about it, he felt a fire burning in his chest.

"Oh, and swordsmanship, too. The chip can also collect numerous swordsmanship secrets, and then generate powerful swordsmanship secrets!"

Morin looked at the numerous secret books and laughed. He knew that he had made the right decision!

He let out a breath and managed to calm himself down.

Then Morin kept flipping through the books, secretly letting the chip record all kinds of knight breathing techniques and swordsmanship secrets.

After a while, Morin put down the secret book in his hand and closed his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.

In his mind, the cold mechanical sound of the chip kept ringing.

"Ding! The 374th Knight's Breathing Method has been stored in the database!"

"Ding! Sword technique number 479 has been saved in the database!"

"Excuse me, would you like to generate a new Knight's Breathing Technique?"

"Excuse me, would you like to generate a new sword technique?"

Mo Lin took a deep breath and said, "Yes!"

"Additional conditions: Both breathing techniques and swordsmanship are most suitable for my body, without any side effects or adverse reactions!"

Maureen thought about it and added one more point.

"Ding! Mission established!"

"New Knight's Breathing Method is being generated. Estimated time: 4 hours and 37 minutes!"

"New swordplay secrets are being generated. Estimated time: 3 hours and 58 minutes!"

"A few hours? Sure." Morin raised the corner of his mouth and smiled.

He picked up a book on Knight's Breathing Technique and walked outside.

The Duke of Scran sat at the stone table nearby, his hands bandaged.

The candlesticks emitted a faint light on the stone table.

"Maureen, you took so long to choose things. Kerry had already made his choices and left." Duke Sclan looked at Maureen and laughed.

"My Lord Duke, I am so sorry."

Maureen felt a little embarrassed.

"Let me see what you chose. Hmm, not bad, a book on knight's breathing method." The Duke looked at the book in Morin's hand with appreciation.

Then he fell silent, looking at Maureen without saying anything.

Under the candlelight, the Duke's face was calm, but there was an indescribable weirdness in it.

"Molin, how are you doing in the Duke's Mansion?" Duke Scran suddenly asked.

"Very good." Maureen replied.

"Molin, Morin, you." Duke Scran looked at Morin quietly and said, "I remember you were born in a slum."

"Yes, Your Excellency the Duke." Morin continued to answer.

"Yes, you were born in the slums. If you hadn't been a servant in the Duke's mansion, I'm afraid you and your grandfather would have starved to death long ago." Duke Scran tapped the stone table with his fingers and said, "I'm not harsh in treating you. Even if there are some bad things, they are just small things and they are all in the past. Compared with a book on the breathing method of knights, nothing can compare to it."

"Of course, Your Excellency the Duke, you are a kind person." Morin replied indifferently.

"Molin, you and Richard are friends, that's great, I have high hopes for you." Duke Scran smiled slightly and said, "I hope you can remember all this and don't forget it."

"In the future, when you are outside, I think you can think of Richard for everything, Maureen. Do you understand what I mean?"

The Duke looked at Morin. Although he was smiling, Morin suddenly felt a chill.

Maureen suddenly understood why the Duke of Sclan wanted to bring him and Kerry to the Sclan family's treasure house and let them choose any gifts they wanted.

It was all about Richard.

Under the influence of kindness and force, he still wanted Maureen and Carey to treat Richard with respect as they did in the Duke's Palace.

"Of course, Your Excellency the Duke. Before, Richard was not only the young master, but also my friend." Morin's expression remained unchanged. He answered quietly, "Your Excellency the Duke, Richard and I are friends."

"We are friends."

Duke Sclan said nothing, but just looked at Morin quietly.

The candlelight flickered slightly.

"Maureen, you're good. As long as you can remember it, it's good." Duke Scran suddenly laughed.

He reached out and gently patted Maureen's shoulder.

"It's late. Master Scolett will take you out tomorrow. Go get some rest."

Maureen nodded slightly to the Duke and left.

Only after Morin received the news did the Duke of Sclan withdraw his gaze.

"What do you think?" Duke Scran suddenly spoke to himself.

"Kai Li's words are false, and Maureen's words should be true."

A tall figure in heavy black armor slowly emerged from the air like a ghost and stood quietly behind the Duke of Sclan.

He was wearing a visor, so his face couldn't be seen clearly. Only a pair of blood-red eyes were exposed.

"Yes, there is a chance to become a mysterious person, huh! How can he be so obedient?" The Duke knelt down immediately when he thought of Carey. When he mentioned that he still treated Richard like a young master, the Duke felt sick.

This kind of exaggerated acting can't even fool a child. Do you think he is an idiot?

Morin's performance was very good. Although there was a distance between them, the Duke of Sclan believed that if Richard was in trouble, Morin would help.

After all, Maureen and Richard had a pretty good relationship on weekdays.

"By the way, did they do anything in the treasure house just now?"

The Duke of Scran thought of something and asked.

"On the surface, Kaili only took a fist-sized gem, but there were many more hidden in his clothes. Morin really only took a book on Knight's Breathing Technique." The Black Knight replied.

The Duke frowned.

"Carey," the Duke muttered to himself.

"Shall I deal with him?" asked the Black Knight.

Duke Scran sighed and said, "Forget it. They are just some gems. Why should we offend the mysterious person for this?"

"Isn't that the wizard who is famous for his cunning and cruelty in the legend?"

The Duke seemed to have thought of something, and a look of fear appeared in his eyes.

The Black Knight remained motionless.

"Richard, my child, I hope you can achieve something on the road of wizarding." Duke Scran whispered to himself, "This is all I can do for you."

"Richard, Richard."

The Duke's voice became lower and lower.

The candlelight suddenly went out.

It was dark all around and dead quiet.
