Chapter 17: The Power of Knights

The loud call of the dawn finch pierces the silent sky, and this large, black-haired and white-bellied bird is always the first to start singing at dawn, and hearing their call indicates that a new day has begun.

Victor's team had already set off before the sparrow chirped, and if they had a choice, they would prefer to wait until dawn, but the firewood in the team's reserves was too hard to burn until dawn. In order not to let the weak freeze to death in the night, Victor can only choose to set off early.

The people shook the dew from their cloaks and followed the procession closely in the morning mist. Although it was hard, the Nightblade leopard skin hanging from a carriage gave people the courage and confidence to continue the trek. And when Victor's carriage crossed the people walking on both sides of the road, the people saluted their lords in awe.

"It's the first time I've seen these people show me respect. Victor said with some self-deprecation as he looked out the window at the people saluting.

"The prestige of a lord is built on one feat. "As a powerful knight with the awe-inspiring gaze of the populace, Bruce is no stranger.

"These people are ignorant and ignorant, and they will only obey protectors who are powerful. Edwin said smutteringly.

Even if a scholar has great influence on the kingdom, he cannot gain the awe of the people at the bottom like a knight.

Victor has a heart for this.

"Little Victor, I understand your feelings and desire for power, after all, I have had the same thoughts. Unfortunately, not all nobles can awaken the knightly bloodline, even if this power is deeply rooted in our bodies. Edwin couldn't help but be comforted by Victor's longing look.

"Won't I awaken the power of knights in the years to come?" asked Victor a little unwillingly.

"Generally speaking, the knight's ability will awaken before the age of 20, if it exceeds this age, even the nobles with pure blood will not be able to awaken, but even if they can't awaken the knight's power, his descendants still have the opportunity to awaken. Because this power is deeply rooted in our blood and passed down from generation to generation. Bruce explained.

"Victor, I know you're not yet 20 years old, but you've awakened another rare bloodline of your Wimbledon family, the blood of the Moon Elves. So you have black hair and black eyes, a handsome face, and slightly pointed ears, this rarer hidden bloodline will make you live longer than ordinary people, and the best thing is that you are more likely to be favored by women. However, this also means that you will no longer awaken the knight's bloodline. Edwin teased Victor and winked at Nicole.

Along the way, the old man had been taking pleasure in teasing Victor and Nicole, who was easily shy, and sure enough, Nicole, whose face was crimson, glared at Edwin.

"Bruce Knight, can you tell me about the power of the Knight? Victor hurriedly forked.

"The power of a knight is a power that is deeply rooted in our blood. Once this power is awakened with the bloodline, you can immediately feel it and control it to flow in the body, like a special gas that invades our body all the time, making us stronger, more agile, clearer, and more healing. We call this strength vindictiveness. Bruce explained generously.

"Is it a knight if you have mastered the fighting spirit?" Victor couldn't help but ask.

"It's not that simple, mastering the fighting spirit can only be said to be just getting started, we generally call it a trainee knight. Bruce continued, "Only when one's own fighting spirit resonates with the elemental level, and reaches a certain level, can one be called a knight. ”

"Let me explain. Edwin saw Victor's confused appearance, and couldn't help but say: "Victor, everything in the world is composed of the four elements of earth, fire, wind, and water, and we humans are of course no exception, so our human body has 36 elemental nodes that echo the four elements, thus constructing our human body." And these 36 elemental nodes are called elemental bits by the knight, and there are three layers of upper, middle and lower levels, with 12 elemental bits in each layer. Those who have mastered the Dou Qi will be able to sense their own elemental level through continuous operation and tempering to make their Dou Qi stronger. When the apprentice knight constantly infiltrates these elemental positions with his own fighting energy, these elemental positions will resonate with the fighting spirit and give the apprentice knight great power, a process that is called echo or resonance by the knights. And the more powerful the fighting spirit, the more elemental bits reverberate, if the fighting qi of a trainee knight can resonate with the 12 elemental bits of the lower level at the same time, then this trainee knight can be called a knight!"

"I see, so the knights' rank is determined by the elemental bits they reverberate?" Victor muttered.

"Well, that's true, so the apprentice knight is also called the Black Iron Knight, and after echoing all the 12 elemental slots in the lower layer, he is called the Bronze Knight, and the knight who echoes the 24 elemental slots in the lower and middle layers is the Silver Knight, also known as the Great Knight. If the knight's fighting spirit is so strong that it reverberates all 36 elemental slots at the same time, he can be called the Golden Knight, which is often referred to as the peak knight. Bruce couldn't help but sigh.

The Golden Knight, the pinnacle of knights, is the goal that every knight dreams of and strives for.

"The difference in the strength of the knights at each level is very large and almost insurmountable. This also has a lot to do with the elemental bits, the lower 12 elemental bits constitute the human body, so the Bronze Knight can fully stimulate his full potential in battle, and his strength, speed, physique, and spirit have become extremely powerful and highly unified, forming a terrifying combat power. The 12 elemental bits in the middle layer determine the mutual flow of human beings and external elements, which allows the silver knight to form an elemental manifestation form on the surface of the body and even on the weapon armor, giving the knight a very terrifying destructive power and incredible ability. For this reason, knights above the silver rank are also called transcendent knights. ”

Master Edwin couldn't help but be in awe when he spoke of the great power of the knights. However, both Edwin and Bruce tacitly did not mention the Golden Knight.

The silver knights are all powerful, so what kind of scenery will the peak of the knights be?

Victor didn't have the heart to think about the Golden Knight's abilities right now, and his mind was now full of one keyword - elemental nodes.

The X-3 chip has a powerful grip on the body, allowing it to check the inside of the body through the flow of blood, but Victor has never found elemental bits in his body.

Victor also has some judgments about this, and now he needs to ask Edwin for verification.

"Master, you just mentioned that elemental nodes are elemental bits, so are elemental nodes organs in our bodies?" asked Victor to Edwin.

"Not organs, but they do exist. Edwin looked at all the people in the carriage, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Okay. Actually, it's okay to tell you. We in the White Tower have studied the body of the Sasang Knight, and I won't talk about the process. But the conclusion is that the elemental bits are not in the body, nor outside the body. It's not a contradiction, but that's what it is. ”

"How is this possible? I can clearly feel the elemental level in my body every time I run the Dou Qi. Nicole exclaimed in surprise.

"Nicole, how many elemental bits have you reverberate, and how do you feel when reverberating elemental bits?" asked Victor with a fluke in his heart towards Nicole.

"I have reverberated the lower 10 elemental bits, the strength will be doubled when I echo the earth elemental bit, I will become more agile when I echo the wind elemental bit, and the water elemental level will make my physical strength longer, and the echo of the fire elemental bit will make my mind clearer, but unfortunately there are still two fire elemental slots in the lower elemental bit that cannot reverberate. Nicole smiled at Victor.

"Each knight's elemental affinity is different, and the opposition of the elements also makes the knight's elemental reverberation effect different, it seems that Nicole is not compatible with the fire element, and the relative water element will be very sensitive. And I'm very compatible with the earth element, and I'm not sensitive to the wind element, which is why each knight will show different attributes after reaching the silver level. ”

As he spoke, Bruce stretched out his right hand and shook it weakly, only to see that the air around the knight's right arm gradually showed an earthy yellow air current, and it continued to rotate around Bruce's right fist, and the terrifying power contained in it actually caused the surrounding air to constantly vibrate and distort.

"Elemental Manifestation!?Bruce, you're already a Silver Knight!?" Edwin exclaimed.

"It's a pity that there is still one wind element bit missing, so this kind of embodiment can't last, and the effect is much worse. Bruce dissipated the yellow air flow in his hands, with a hint of pride in regret.

"Okay, little Victor, don't be envious, although you have no hope of becoming a knight, but you are a lord. In the future, if you manage your territory well, you will naturally be able to attract powerful knights to work for you. But before that, why don't you make some fresh dishes and comfort us at lunch? Edwin patted the stunned Victor on the shoulder and said sourly.

If you can't be a knight, even a master scholar is indignant.
