Chapter 44: The Knight
The same is true for mages, those who use 1-3 ring spells are basically apprentices who have just activated their spiritual power, and perhaps with the assistance of some "spell-casting materials" such as white phosphorus, they can play some non-lethal tricks to fool and fool ignorant villagers.

And the official mage who can use 4-6 spells, converted to the wizard level that Li Lin is familiar with, is just equivalent to a level 2 or level 3 wizard apprentice who does not borrow any spell casting medium.
And it is rumored that the great knight and archmage who are extremely rare in this world are actually the official transcendents in Li Lin's concept!
From this, it can be seen that this is undoubtedly a low-magic world, and the division of the power system is quite rudimentary, and there are only two combat power classes that surpass ordinary people in this vast land, one is a ring mage, and the other is a knight.
The so-called ring mage Li Lin has only seen one poisonous insect in this land, and the old scholars actually know quite limited, so Li Lin is not easy to define. He only knows that the ring mage is worthy of the name of the ring mage, compared with the mage of the post-disaster earth, it can release all kinds of spells as much as it likes with one more ring, and it has no spell bit limit, and the only thing to consider in the battle is the abundance of mana.
In a word, the mage with the ring can be unleashed to his heart's content!
As for the knights...... Well, whether it is a sword-wielding one, a bow-wielding one, or even a dagger-wielding Shadowwalker (a thief, a killer class), once you are able to officially use the 'qi' (dispersing the fighting qi on the surface of the body), then you can collectively call it a knight.
After officially stepping into the knight class, the knight is eligible to get a good knight lord from the lord he is loyal to, in addition to being responsible for the lord he is loyal to, he can enjoy the miniature contemporary aristocratic life!
What do you say about the specifics of the knightly profession? Just like the scene Li Lin saw from the training camp at the beginning, in the huge Lawrence training camp, the trainees were simply honing their bodies, practicing swordsmanship, and even practicing horsemanship or something (etiquette, loyalty to the lord, similar to brainwashing political classes).
In a few short days of getting along, Li Lin found that the guy called Instructor Trist, even if the other party used to be a formal 'knight', it seemed that he really didn't know the knight's breathing training method to stimulate fighting spirit, and of course, he didn't rule out the possibility that the other party was secret.
After all, the group of young men in the training camp can't all be his own sons!
But Li Lin carefully observed the star in the training camp, Ofar, and there was a rumor that there was a trace of Lawrence who might be promoted to the Great Knight, and the strongest person was the real son, and in the weekday training, that kid only knew how to exhale some superficial ways to adjust his breathing.
It can be seen that the father of the real knight behind him, who is said to be very heroic, also knows very limited.
Of course, maybe there is a complete breathing training method within the Viscount Lawrence family!
5 official 'knights'? Well, except for the one who died at the hands of the poisonous insects, there are now only 4 official knights with foreign surnames in the Lawrence family.
But in fact, during these visits, Li Lin also discovered that, as said in a certain point, there are really many 'strong people' hidden in the nest of nobles like the Lawrence family.
From the breath sense, there is no doubt that he is also a real knight-level powerhouse in this world, and it is very likely to be Lawrence's clan.
Purely polishing the body, strengthening one's own body to the limit, and through the battles of life and death, the body naturally produces [qi], so as to promote to the knight, this is the path taken by ordinary civilians in the other world.
This primitive method, how to say it, at least at the same level, is beyond the combat power of the traditional knight training method cultivators mastered by Li Lin in his previous life.
For example, Landa and the others have also comprehended qi, and can apply it more skillfully, and even the strong fighting qi obtained through breathing training can also be dispersed on the surface of the body, and in this world, they can also be rated as knights.
But her real combat effectiveness, if you don't count the secret techniques in the "Black Crow Secret Codex", she is definitely inferior to the knights under Lawrence.
Without it, in addition to the combat experience of cold weapons, the physical gap is too big! Even after a period of time, even Landa, an official transcendent of the promotion stage (the great knight of this world), would find it difficult to close this gap. (Qi feeds back to the physical body, when Qi is strong to a certain extent.) Unfortunately, the nature of vindictiveness determines that the degree of feedback is very limited)
To put it bluntly, the existence that can comprehend qi to this point by simply polishing the physical body is a person with transcendent talent.
The books here are very precious, even the Lawrence family, who are the viscounts of the kingdom, do not have many books. This can be easily seen in Li Lin's visit to the Lawrence family's library.
To be honest, it's not as big as the school library when he was in junior high school.
Papermaking was not born in this world. They used parchment, a book, which was copied by hand, thick enough to be used as a brick. However, this kind of special processing of books is very miraculous and can be preserved for hundreds of years!
Unlike the situation of survival after the disaster on the earth, the human countries in the other world, which have never been in danger of extinction, are naturally secretive about various secret techniques that can make the human race strong as a whole (in fact, this is actually the same even on the post-disaster earth, and at the beginning, even in the most dangerous times, the dissemination of various vocational training methods among the whole people was the most basic. As for when the crisis of extinction disappears, and because of the struggle between the various forces of mankind itself, naturally no big force is so brainbroken that it will ban weapons within its own rule).
In this low-magic version of the Otherworldly Middle Ages, thousands of years of comfort have brought about a lack of diversity and spread of combat professions, and the speed of development is extremely slow, even the knight academy that first appeared in Bretonnia, the knight country, more than a thousand years ago, to this day, there are still one-third of the human countries on the continent that still do not have formal knight academies!
The days of peace have been too long, and the entire class of war officials has taken refuge, and even a 'promising' aristocrat like Lawrence has taken it for granted that the identity of the nobility is above all else!
Strength is inferior to resourcefulness, or conspiracy, as can be seen from the fact that Lawrence was able to defeat many brothers at a young age and obtain the status of viscount.
Every time he came to the banquet, seeing the knights of the Lawrence family, who were very calmly lying down with Lawrence, Li Lin completely understood the main theme of this world.
