010: Handcrafted knight
Roshi was eventually moved by Alan's words, and the next day he began to teach him basic swordsmanship with a wooden stick.
In addition to taking a fancy to Allen's perseverance, the main thing is that Roshi feels that this is not an opportunity for him.
The new function of the pocket watch can decompose substances to produce elements, two days ago Roch tried a few, and found that there is a difference in the number of elements decomposed, and some ore substances are more decomposed, and these require a lot of manpower and material resources to collect.
Give Alan a little proper help, if he really makes some achievements, he will save himself trouble in the future, and if he achieves nothing, he will not lose anything.
A month later, Roshi was ready to leave to buy materials to help Eren activate the power of the bloodline, before leaving, he dug some traps outside the fence, and prepared enough food for Eren to bury in the snow, although it is winter, there will still be some wolves and the like in the forest to feed.
The process of finding materials was not smooth, and the nearby towns were deserted for a long time under the devastation of the war, either fleeing or dying, dying under the disaster of war, and more dying in the process of fleeing, severe cold, hunger, these are fatal to ordinary people.
Traces of the smoke could be seen everywhere on the devastated ground, and if you didn't go far, you would definitely see a corpse lying in the snow, mostly old people like Roshi, followed by women and children.
I was more impressed to see in a wilderness, a young woman, holding a baby about less than a month old, was breastfeeding, one hand touched the child's cheek, a pair of eyes full of kindness, staring closely at the baby in her arms, and a slight smile on the corner of her mouth.
The snow had piled up along her waist, but she didn't move, as if she had turned into an ice sculpture, because they had been dead for a long time.
It took Roshi three weeks to make his way through the wilderness, and by luck, he saw an elk in a wood, and Roshi knocked it out with a mallet, woke up and rode it away.
After leaving the wilderness, Roshi continued southwest, walked for another week or so, saw the ocean again, and finally encountered humans again.
After asking about the situation, Roshi learned that he had crossed the border of the Kingdom of Pru and came to the neighboring Duchy of Lehman.
After two days of walking in the direction pointed out by the mountaineer who lived alone in the mountains, Roshi arrived at the city of Sieni in the Duchy of Lehman, a seaside city with a clock tower, but he had trouble buying materials.
There are basically no special pharmacies in Northland, and most of the ordinary people, whether they have a headache, fever or a broken leg, are bloodletted and then bloodletted, and if they can get a priest, they will hold the cross and yell 'Disperse, demons!', if they don't do it, they will have to nail their brains...
Si Ni City is considered prosperous, but Luo Xi ran all over the flower shop, spice shop, dried fruit shop, etc., and the materials he collected were still not enough to activate the knight's bloodline, not to mention that Luo Xi was also preparing to refine something else.
After all, a good person has done it to the end, since he has helped him activate his bloodline, it is better to give away some things that can increase the strength of the flesh, increase the speed of cultivation, and so on.
In addition, Roshi himself was going to buy more materials and go back to experiment with the new function that he had just discovered in his pocket watch.
Just when Luo Xi was in trouble, he accidentally learned that there was a stronghold of the Purple Gold Rose Chamber of Commerce in the city.
Louis and Dale had given him a special badge before, in the style of a golden rose inlaid with a few rubies, and Roshi's name was engraved on it, and they said a lot at the time, this is a veteran badge or something, anyway, Roshi probably understood it as a premium membership card.
This premium membership card is really good!
The two little girls in the store saw that this bad old man was still a little unanswering, but as soon as Luo Xi took out this membership card, her eyes straightened, and she respectfully led her into the palatial reception room.
Then came a big fat man with oily hair and powder, leading more than a dozen people as if he was going to fight in a group, which almost made Roshi misunderstand that this group of people was trying to kill for money.
Then Roshi learned that a month after the sale of the Hope Elixir, its miraculous efficacy had been verified, and this revolutionary item immediately detonated the market, and some nobles who didn't believe in it also invested in the game, and the business had expanded to more than ten times.
I don't know how Luis operated, anyway, so far, instead of being squeezed out of this game table, both of them have made some progress, but it is estimated that it is over, their status is not high and they lack the right to open the way, and it is good enough to be able to continue to sit at the game table.
Despite this, the two of them are now also second-tier figures of Purple Gold Rose, and in terms of identity, even some powerful nobles who own several towns and territories have to give up three points.
Thereupon.
Luo Xi also rarely enjoyed the taste of being an uncle, and more than a dozen people surrounded him and waited for him, and immediately sent him to the front if he asked for anything.
Most of the materials needed were available, but some of them were still not here, and they hadn't even heard of their names.
The materials to activate the bloodline were basically enough, and the rest of Roshi could only sketch a few sketches, and told them that they could find them there, and left his address, and then set out on the return journey.
It was much easier to go back after a lot of difficulties and dangers, so Purple Gold Rose prepared a sailboat for Roshi, and after about two weeks along the Aegean coast, he arrived at Harbour Town.
Originally, there was a carriage on the ship, but it was rejected by Roshi, mainly because there was no road in the Whispering Forest, and the horses might not be able to walk, let alone the carriage, and the traffic in Northland was very poor.
Once again, Harbour Town had become dilapidated, the small building on the Roshi Cliffs was in ruins, and a lonely, dilapidated dock barely remained.
Those people in the Principality of Rigila are really petty, I wish you all to freeze to death in the Lyra Canyon!
In the city of Sieni, Roshi also paid a general attention to the current war, Allen's judgment was correct, the invincible Duchy of Rigilla encountered the stubborn resistance of the Puru Kingdom after hitting the Lai La Canyon, and the two sides are currently stalemate in the canyon because of the heavy wind and snow.
After getting off the boat, Roshi sped up his steps, and went out for more than a month, and he didn't know if the food prepared was sufficient, and if Allen's kid starved to death, the joke would be too big.
When he returned to the cabin, Roshi realized that he had thought too much, and instead of reducing the food, there were more wolves, and when he saw Alan, he had an extra shirt made of wolf skin and a sharpened wooden stick in his hand.
After asking, Roshi learned that shortly after he left, a pack of wolves had attacked the cabin, most of which were stopped by the traps outside, but two of them still rushed into the yard.
Then there was a life-and-death struggle, and finally relying on the swordsmanship taught to him by Roshi, Alan was able to get out of danger, but he was also injured a lot, and fortunately it was currently deep winter, and it would be fine to stop the bleeding, if it was in the summer, any wound would be infected, and he would not be able to withstand Roxi's return.
What an oversight...
Luo Xi blamed himself a little in his heart, but Alan over there seemed to be nothing, compared to before, he now has more smiles and confidence on his face, and his temperament is calmer.
For the next few days, Roshi stayed in the house to help Eren prepare the potion that activated the power of the bloodline.
In addition to these necessary materials, there is also a key item that needs to be used in the potion, which is the blood of another knight as an introduction, and the activated apprentice will also have the same bloodline power as the knight.
There is a difference in the quality of the power of this bloodline, but this difference is not reflected until the legendary level of the knight's peak realm, and it is said that he also has some extraordinary abilities.
However, there have been no knights in the legendary realm on the continent for hundreds of years, and Roshi has only seen this in wizards' books.
The blood primer that Luo Xi used to activate the power of the bloodline for Eren was his own, and the name of his bloodline power is 'Unstoppable', which is said to be able to have a short-term immortal body after use, and it is also the top three super-first-class bloodline power on the entire continent.
It's not because of Luo Xi's profound family background, in fact, there are many people on the continent who have this bloodline power, as long as they are knights in the 24 countries within the jurisdiction of the Black Tower, the bloodline power is ranked in the top ten on the continent.
It took Luo Xi two weeks to refine the potion, and he failed dozens of times, mainly because the magic power was not enough to support the completion of the drawing of the magic array, and this kind of potion that can activate the power of the bloodline needs to use 1 ring magic array, which is almost at the level of intermediate potions, and it generally takes a senior apprentice to complete the configuration.
What he promised must be done, Luo Xi meditated for nearly a month, flipped through books in the sea of spiritual consciousness, studied this knowledge in depth, and finally combined some chemical methods, divided into several steps to do, extracted the activity of several materials in advance, and finally completed it in the magic array after reducing the difficulty through new modifications.
It took another week or so on, and I don't know how many times I tried to make a small test tube of dose, thanks to the fact that the formula only needed a drop of knight's blood, otherwise Roshi would not have had the ability to complete the job.
The activation process went smoothly, there was no rejection, just a little pain caused by the fusion of blood vessels, and Alan was fine after lying in bed for two days.
Starting the next day, Roshi officially taught Allen the knight breathing method, with Roxi's family sword skills supplemented by potion support, Roshi felt that growing into a knight was not a big problem, and whether he could go further depended on himself, as for the legendary realm... Artificially activated knight bloodlines can't be promoted to legends.
In the following days, Roshi still did not have an easy time, while he had to equip Alan with enough potions for him to reach the Grand Knight, and at the same time he had to instruct him to train.
It wasn't until two weeks later, when Rosie had helped him get his training on track and was able to operate independently, that he had some time to study the new features of the pocket watch that had been delayed, and he took some materials he brought back and began to work with his head.
And I don't know if I don't study it, and a study once again scared Roshi!
