"What's the matter?" Herage opened the door and saw Old Henry. Behind Old Henry was a young man wearing heavy armor. Herage recognized him. He was the knight Emil, captain of the castle's guard. This is a big shot in the castle, and he seems to be looking for trouble with him. "Are you Herage?" Emil looked at Herage up and down and asked. "Yes, Lord Emil." Herage replied honestly.
"Deep Blue, detect Emil's body data." "Emil: Strength 15 , agility 18, cons 20, spirit 20 and contains unknown energy in his body."
For the first time, Herage had an intuitive understanding of the knight's strength. Although Emil's data seems to be just a little higher than him, in actual combat, it is not just a little bit, but an improvement in all aspects. If the strength is increased a little, the corresponding actual combat ability may be increased by more than ten times, which is not a concept at all. There is still some unknown energy in Emil's body, and Herage guessed that this should be the power of the knight. If this unknown power is included, then the actual combat energy will be improved by an unknown amount.
"I heard that your archery skills are good, let's show it off." Emil said simply and clearly.
Old Henry looked at him with encouragement. Herage immediately went back to the house to get a longbow without any delay. Emil looked around, pointed to a tall pine tree in the distance and said, "Can you shoot down the tallest pine cone?"
"Okay, No problem Herage said confidently. "Let's begin," Emil said.
Herage opened his longbow and activated the auxiliary aiming. Now that he has enough strength, and the long bow is fully drawn. After a hissing sound, the pine cones in the distance fell to the ground. Emil nodded with satisfaction: "It seems that you are a natural marksman and are qualified to join the guard. Come to the training ground with me." Herage obviously had no right to refuse and followed Emil honestly. Old Henry grinned happily. The castle's training ground is a wide and flat field. It is training time, and there are many guards training.
After Emil brought Herage over, many people naturally noticed. However, Emil didn't dare to ask any more questions. He continued to train when it was time to train, and worked even harder. Emil took Herage to an open space. He turned around and said, "Herage, do you know why the knight is so powerful?" Herage didn't know this question either, so he could only shake his head. "Because of the breathing method." Emil said solemnly.
"Breathing method?" Herage hearing this term for the first time was confused
Emil continued: "Yes, the breathing method allows us to develop and mobilize the hidden power in the body. Through the accumulation of practicing breathing method over time, not only can our bodies become stronger, but also it is possible for us to awaken the seeds of life and awaken. Those who have the seed of life can be called knights."
"Then can I awaken the seed of life?" Herage asked. "Not necessarily. Only a very few lucky people have this qualification. Most people will never be able to become a knight in their lifetime." Emil said.He looked at Herage and continued:
"You are very talented in archery. Next, I will teach you the earth breathing method. I hope you can grow up as soon as possible and share the burden of the Baron."
"Thank you, Lord Emil, thank you Lord Baron." Herage hammered his right fist on his chest and performed a standard loyalty etiquette. He was still very good at these superficial skills.
"Well! You have to remember that all this is thanks to the Baron." Emil was very satisfied with Herage's attitude.
"Deep Blue, start recording all Emil's actions, especially those related to the Earth Breathing Method." Herage gave the order with a thought.
"Recording has started."
Emil began to teach the Earth Breathing Technique. He said in a deep voice: "Breathing is something everyone is born with. The Earth Breathing Technique has a unique breathing rhythm that allows you to create a flow of Qi in your body. This Qi travels along a specific route. Walk your whole body and slowly strengthen your muscles and bones..."
"The Earth Breathing Technique has been recorded."
After explaining the precautions, Emil said: "You try it." The earth breathing method requires a lot of strange movements and a unique breathing rhythm to practice. It is difficult for beginners to do the movements in place and to grasp the breathing rhythm well.
"Deep Blue, activate the earth breathing method to assist in practice."
Deep blue quickly revealed every movement in front of Herage's eyes, and Herage followed suit and started to make the first move.
"The right hand moves upward one centimeter, and the left hand moves downward another half centimeter."
After Herage made his first move, Deep Blue quickly corrected his move and gave an accurate offset. He adjusted his movements according to the instructions of the chip. Emil was a little surprised and looked at Herage with admiration without speaking. There are a total of fifteen movements in the Earth Breathing Technique, and each movement is difficult. With the help of the chip, Herage struggled to complete the entire set of movements. After finishing the exercise, he was completely exhausted and even stood a little unsteady.
"Effective exercise is detected. Repeating this set of actions a hundred times can increase strength by 2, agility by 3, and con by 2 and spirit 3."
"A hundred times doesn't seem to be a lot." Herage became more motivated after seeing the prompts given by the chip. It's not difficult to keep working hard, but what's difficult is trying hard without seeing the progress bar. Herage can see immediate feedback, which makes him very motivated to practice.
Emil remained silent throughout the whole process, and it was not until Herage completed the practice of the Earth Breathing Technique that he spoke: "You are very talented! I will pay attention to you." He was busy with his affairs, so he told Herage to keep practicing and then continued his work.
"Deep Blue, how long does it take to complete one hundred practices?"
"Based on the current physical condition, you can practice twice a day. After seven days of practice, your body's fitness will be improved. The number of practices you can practice per day is estimated to be six to seven, and it is estimated that you can complete one hundred practices in twenty-three days."
This progress is faster than Herage imagined. After this day, Herage's identity also changed. From a lowly servant, he became a guard of the castle guard. He was given a monthly salary of five silver coins, and was also issued a set of armor and a long sword. The daily food has been upgraded to two meals, and there is one meal of meat every three days, but this is not very important to Herage. He can hunt for meat by himself. Emil valued him very much and did not need to perform any tasks during this period. He only needed to concentrate on practicing the Earth Breathing Technique. Herage went hunting in the forest every day, and then came back to practice the earth breathing method, and so on. Twenty days later.
"The first stage of earth breathing method practice has been completed. Current physical condition: strength 2 Spirit 3, cons 2 and agility 3.
"The second stage of practice of the Earth Breathing Method can be started. Repeat the practice a thousand times to increase strength 4, agility 5, cons, 4 and spirit 4"
Herage looked at the chip prompts and smiled involuntarily. His efforts for the past half month were finally in vain. He lives a fulfilling life every day now. In addition to hunting and practicing, he just eats and sleeps. Tomorrow there will be another course, Emil will teach him swordsmanship. Herage now has strong physical fitness, but lacks effective means of defending against enemies. Archery can only be used to deal with enemies from a distance.
In this era of cold weapons, there are more close combats.
