Chapter 1621: Divine Life (I.)
Of course, Roland would not refuse the request of Her Royal Highness the Princess, and generously unsheathed the sword and handed it to her, taking the opportunity to ask for a look at her "angel horn".
Palatina pretended not to hear his reciprocal request, and pulled out a piece of Xueliang sword to look at it attentively, and couldn't help but praise softly: "What a sword!" Not inferior to 'Balmunch' either. ”
Of course, Roland, the name of the "Capricorn" zodiac artifact "Holy Sword" Balmonk, has heard of it, which is the honor guard sword of Palatina's father, the Imperial Marshal Prince Sigmunt, and one of the two zodiac artifacts owned by the Hansenberg royal family of the Assanian Empire, which can be called the treasure of the town, but he cares more about the "angel horn".
Palatina sheathed her sword and returned Durandal to Roland, and when she noticed that he was looking at her with a pitiful look, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and snicker.
"Palatina, that 'angel horn' ......," Roland hinted stiffly.
"The fact that the 'Angel Horn' can resonate with your sword shows that there is some kind of relationship between the two......" Palatina mused, "I don't know what secret is hidden here, but my intuition tells me that the Angel Horn is important to you." ”
Roland was surprised by her intelligence and hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to nod her head in acknowledgment her guess.
"Now that I've guessed it, things get interesting." Palatina crossed her hands behind her back, leaned forward slightly, her forehead almost touched Roland's lips, the distance between the two was so close that her heartbeat could be heard, and the expression that seemed to be smiling made Roland's scalp tingle for a while.
"I can lend you the 'Angel Horn', but there is one condition, you must beat me in a one-on-one open joust!"
Listening to Palatina's conditions, Roland breathed a sigh of relief. This condition is not too harsh, and Palatina, who has the reputation of "knight princess", proposes a jousting competition to him, which sounds unexpected at first glance, but it makes sense when you think about it.
"Do you have to be open?" Roland felt that this was just a matter between her and Palatina, and there was no need to make a storm in the city.
"According to the rules of the Imperial Knights' Competition, there must be at least two witnesses, otherwise what if the losing side cheats and doesn't admit it?" A provocative smile appeared on Palatina's lips, "If you're afraid that you can't afford to lose, you can refuse my challenge." ”
"There's nothing to be afraid of, just do as you said in a public contest, and we'll each have a witness!"
Roland had already checked Palatina's class level and equipment with the help of the "Pupil of Fate", and knew that he was not sure of victory, but from another perspective, Palatina knew less about his details, and he also had no advantage at all.
"The time of the competition is set for nine o'clock tomorrow, and you can choose the venue." Palatina proposed.
"No problem, I'll bring the Witnesses to you, and then we'll have a good time somewhere undisturbed." Roland remembered the "Ring of the Dragon Palace" and "Dimensional Killing Field" was a good place for martial arts competitions.
"Okay, that's it, see you tomorrow." With a confident smile, Palatina turned away from the terrace.
Roland didn't want to waste time at the prom, so he left the stage early and returned home. While he still had a little free tonight, he had to be fully prepared to face Palatina.
……
Teleporting directly back to his bedroom, Roland glanced at the table clock, the hour hand was about to point to 12 o'clock in the night, and there was not much time left for him to prepare for the battle.
Roland washed up briefly, sat on the bed and completed the evening prayer homework, and smoothly entered a meditative state with no external objects. First of all, bring up the system panel, check your potential reserves, and make a preparation plan accordingly.
After a whole year of accumulation, the stock of the potential pool has reached 37 degrees, which is enough to increase the class level. Roland did not hesitate, and directly sacrificed 30 degrees of potential to raise the level of the advanced class "Hand of God" to level 5.
As the potential burned slightly, his body also underwent obvious changes, from head to toe muscles, blood vessels, and bones were greedily sucking the divine power transformed into potential, and evolved wildly!
The human body is a vessel that carries the soul, and its greatest characteristic is that it is delicate and fragile. Looking at human beings from the perspective of social groups, you will find that with the increase of nutritional intake and the optimization of lifestyles, the average life expectancy of residents in a country or region can make leaps and bounds in just one generation (30 years), and it is not uncommon for it to be directly doubled. However, as far as individual human beings are concerned, according to the normal laws of biological evolution, the evolution of new functions of the human body, the elimination of outdated old characteristics, and even the improvement of inefficient physiological organs require the joint efforts of countless generations and the time spent tens of thousands of years, so from a certain point of view, it takes more effort for a person to improve himself than to promote the common progress of human beings.
From war to peace, from the human tragedy caused by the epidemic to the free vaccines provided by the National Health Plan to completely eradicate the epidemic, the staircase from hell to heaven may only require a spark of inspiration from scientists and strong support from the government, but the time and cost of human beings to evolve a body to resist the epidemic will be immeasurable.
As an earthling born in a civilized country in the 21st century, Roland has already deeply realized that the physiological gap between people is actually very small, and the 100-meter sprint speed of the sprint world champion cannot be twice as fast as that of ordinary high school students. However, in the world of Vares, where gods, magic, and supernatural powers exist, the differences between individuals of the same species are unimaginable to earthlings, and legendary spellcasters can easily destroy a city and slaughter thousands of civilians on their own. In such a world with an extreme emphasis on individual power, he had to follow the local customs and achieve personal "evolution" through spiritual practice.
The "Hand of God" has been raised to the 5th level, and more than half of the destiny divine power contained in Roland's body has been digested, as a sign of crossing the dividing line between mortal and divine nature, his ** has achieved breakthrough evolution under the nourishment of potential.
The evolution brought about by "divine life" is all-encompassing. Roland's eyes were closed, and his psychic power quietly radiated out, like an invisible spider silk probing the surrounding situation. He can sense the various furnishings in his bedroom with the help of the tremors of the "Psychic Spider Silk", and automatically generate a three-dimensional image in his mind, and the telepathy can easily pass through the obstacles of the wall and extend farther away. The courtyard shrouded in night comes to mind, and every grass and tree is so clear.
