"Damn, father praised surprisingly Levi." Balzan faintly hated in his heart, his teeth clenched.
The etiquette of the nobles was that they could not talk during meals, so everyone was eating quietly.
After the meal, Kanone wiped his mouth, put down his napkin and opened his mouth to say to Levi, "Levi, come with me to the library."
"Yes, father." Levi bowed his head slightly to show his respect.
As the two left, the few people in the dining room had different expressions.
Teresa had a smile on her face, while Balzan and Nica had a hard look on their faces.
"What did father tell Levi to do in the library? The butler was right, Levi will threaten my position as heir, damn it! I must get rid of him." Balzan's face showed a fierce light and clenched his fists to make up his mind.
"Mother, I need to say something to you alone as well." Balzan said to Nika.
...
Outside the castle's basement study, there stood two guards, both of them were high-ranking knight squires, and both bowed slightly when they saw Kanone's arrival.
"Lord Baron!"
"Lord Baron!"
"Open the storeroom." Kanone nodded slightly to the two men and said.
A senior knight squire opened the storeroom, which looked dark and invisible.
Kanone himself took a lit candle and lit several candlesticks in the room, and the room immediately became brightly lit.
Levi surveyed the room, there were two rows of bookshelves with more than a hundred volumes of parchment books on them, all of these books were collected by several generations of the Farkus family, some of the books were more than a hundred years old.
He had only been here a few times before, to collect books for learning knowledge.
"Levi, did you hunt today?" Kanone asked, looking him in the eye.
"I shot it, the footprints are still there outside the woods." Levi answered honestly not knowing why his father asked.
"Your eyes tell me it's true, no one can lie with my eyes watching."
Kanon then looked at him again with what looked like a torch and asked, "Why did you start a fight with Nika and Balzan, you always greeted before meals, can you tell me who taught you that?"
Levi thought for a moment and answered with a straight face, "No one taught me what to say, because I suddenly realized that pleasing them wouldn't help, it wouldn't change the fact that they hated me as well as Teresa.
Of course, I must be frank and say that before I left home to become a knight, wanted you to feel that I was strong enough to get more of an inheritance than I was to get more rewards by pleasing you."
"My son, you have grown." Kanone suddenly relaxed with a smile and opened his arms to embrace Levi for a moment.
"Yes, father, I will be growing up eventually." Levi said with a smile.
"Originally I thought you wanted to eat, drink, and enjoy yourself for the rest of your life. Wanted to give it to you before you left home, now I think I should give it to you early."
Kanone finished walking past the two rows of bookshelves until he reached the wall, and just as Levi was puzzled, Kanone reached out and pressed his hand on the wall a few times.
A small door suddenly popped open on the wall and a metal case was taken out of it, after opening it with a key, a parchment book with a silver cover was taken out.
Kanone handed the book to Levi and said with a solemn expression on his face, "This is the Knight's Breathing Method of our Farkus family, it is the key to nobility for commoners, now I'm handing it over to you, and I hope that you take good care of it."
"Yes, father. I will take good care of it." Levi also said with a serious face.
Kanone smiled and added, "Now I'm injecting life energy into your body, it's the energy seed that produces fighting qi. There's still a year left before you reach adulthood, relying on you to cultivate on your own will take many years before you can produce life energy, with the life energy I've given you, you'll be able to cultivate fighting qi very quickly."
"Father ..."
"Alright, stop talking and pay attention to feeling the life energy I'm passing on to you."
After Kanone finished speaking, he suddenly reached out and pressed his hand on Levi's belly, a burst of glowing white light emanated from Kanone's belly, this white light traveled to his arm, arm, and then didn't enter Levi's belly.
Levi felt some sudden heat in his belly, but a warm heat, and as he felt it with his heart, Kanone continued to speak.
"Feel the life energy with your heart and leave the seed inside you."
"Fae energy detected entering the body is it blocked?" The voice of the Intelligence came in his mind.
"Intelligence can still stop the energy?" Levi said to the Intelligence without much thought, "Do not stop it, help me keep it."
....
After an unknown amount of time, Levi recovered from his daze as he felt the life energy in his belly become one with his body, like a blood presence.
"Father, I did it!" Levi said in surprise.
"Good, I'm a bit tired. You take the book and go back and read it properly." Kanone's complexion looked balled up with some fatigue, thinking that the life energy must have consumed him.
"Father, thank you." Levi hugged Canonne.
Returning to the front of his room, he saw his mother, Teresa, walking in front of his door, her complexion looking a bit anxious.
His maid, liana, stood to the side looking at Teresa with some uneasiness.
"Mother, what's wrong with you? What happened?" Levi asked with concern.
"You were called away by your father ... I was worried ..." Teresa said looking at liana.
"liana you come back in later." Levi said to Teresa after instructing liana, "Mother, let's go inside and talk alone."
"Well? Levi." Teresa's anxious eyes had some anticipation in them.
Levi said to Teresa with a smile on his face. "That's right, it's what you think, Mother. Father not only rewarded me with the Farkus Family's Knight's Breathing Method, he also infused me with the seed of fighting qi - life energy. Father said it can shorten the time it takes me to become a knight."
"Great Levi, I'm so happy for you, I really am." Teresa said as hot tears flowed from her eyes looking at her excitedly.
"Don't worry mother, my life will get better and better." Levi was also moved to tears by his mother's sincere feelings and embraced her with open arms.
"You see, telling you to be closer to your father was the right thing to do." Teresa said to him with a smile.
"True, but I confessed to my father. Certainly didn't tell him what you taught me, I just said that I wanted my father to see how much of an inheritance I was given for my efforts, not to curry favor with him and beg him to reward me." Levi said.
"You did the right thing son you've grown up. I can't teach you anything more, the way forward is up to you." Teresa smoothed his hair and smiled.
"Mother, from now on we don't need to please Nika and Balzan and the others, we'll never get along with each other. Just be kind to father, he is my father and your husband, the person we are closest to." Levi said.
He was worried that his mother would continue to ingratiate herself with the pair after he left, which would be useless because the Farkus family only had the power to distribute their belongings and decide whether everyone was doing well or not.
When the mother left, Levi picked up the Knight's Breath and looked at it - the Silver Cross Knight's Breath.
He originally thought that the family's Knight Breathing Method was named after the family's last name, but he didn't expect it to be called Silver Cross.
Flipping through the cover of the book, the first page described the origin of the Silver Cross Breathing Method.
The Knight's Breathing Technique rewarded by the kingdom after his grandfather's father, Sheru, became a baron after meritorious service on the battlefield.
The second page described the way of practicing it there was also a picture of a small figure, the small figure was standing with his arms outstretched in a posture like a cross.
"So this is where the name Silver Cross comes from."
Levi thought and read on, the third page of the content tells about the route of the body's energy, from head to toe there is a blue arrow diagram drawn, from the left arm to the right arm there is a red arrow diagram drawn, these red and blue arrows represent the direction of the energy.
On the fourth page, the content tells about the way of frequency when breathing in conjunction with the direction of these arrows.
The next few pages were Sheru's cultivation experiences, as well as his grandfather Logan's, and the last page was his father Kanone's. These experiences were not all about tips when practicing, there were also some recipes to enhance the speed of cultivating fighting qi.
