Chapter 16: Trainee Knight
In the underground vault, Virtis said, "According to you, are you planning to make all six Soul Suppression Thrones recognize their lords as soon as possible in a short period of time, and at the same time plan to connect to other worlds to find help?"
Kane nodded very sincerely.
For now, except for the three Soul Suppression Knights who have been recognized by the Soul Suppression Throne, who else in the entire continent except me has a higher chance of being recognized by the remaining Soul Suppression Thrones and become a Soul Suppression Knight? If the eldest brother really has such a major matter, how can he not tell me?)
Although Salafil is a very cold person, if he encounters something very important, he will still explain it to Esya and Viltis.
At this point, Veltis concluded that Kane was lying.
But there must be a part of what I said before.
False with true, true with false.
Afterwards, Veltis laughed and calculated: "Okay, I see. Then think it's me who blames you, and so does my eldest brother, who didn't tell me. Maybe it's because I haven't been able to get the approval of the Soul Suppression Throne for a long time, and the eldest brother doesn't want to put pressure on me. You also know that the more you cling to this kind of thing, the more you can't get it. ”
Kane looked a little embarrassed, but he disguised it so well that he could barely see it, and he echoed casually: "It should be like this." ”
The two of them walked out of the underground chamber. No one noticed that although Kane's clothes were not sweating, his shoes were completely soaked, and he stepped on the ground, stepping on one footprint at a time.
The dreary atmosphere of the two became relaxed again;
"Well," said Veltis, "let Genosis and Blake register here tomorrow." I can't wait to go back to the outlying places to get it, after all, it's faster for you to send the materials to the imperial capital. ”
Kane smiled, "Uh-huh, okay. ”
..................
The registration process wasn't difficult, and Kane got them done quickly.
This is different from the one in Marco Town, because of the remote terrain and the slow cultivation of ordinary knights, only when the knight trainees who have saved enough for an academic year in the regiment headquarters have completed the knight awakening ceremony, they will have one registration, and the recruit students who fail to awaken on time will be repeated, and the repetition will not exceed two times. Moreover, the registered information materials must be delivered to the imperial capital of the Angel Imperial Kingdom.
Because of their talents, Generosis and Blake completed the registration after more than half a year of cultivation at the age of ten, without a foundation.
The two received a new knight's dress.
Veltis explained, "Now you are officially part of our knightly family. In the next time, I will train you as soon as possible, so that you can reach the strength of the second order as soon as possible, and then go to the imperial capital to accept the canonization. ”
After a few more days of stay in the Tesla Palace, the three of Veltis said goodbye to Kane and Olivia, and before leaving, Kane said, "Come, I'll give you two a little thing." ”
Kane pulled two rings out of his pocket.
One for Genosis and one for Blake.
Blake asked curiously, "What is this?"
Vertis didn't talk nonsense, his fingers froze, and the fingertips of his right index finger condensed a long nail with light magic, and then scratched on the palms of their hands.
Soon, some blood oozed from the palms of each of them.
Kane pressed each end of the ring with the gem into his blood.
"Hoo ......"
Blake took a deep breath: "It seems that there is a special space inside the gem of this ring?"
Kane smiled and said, "That's right, this kind of stone, called the Void Magic Stone, contains space inside, and as long as a drop of your blood is stained, it will connect to your soul, that is, the spirit, as long as you use spiritual power, you can operate to let items enter the inner space of the gem, or come out." ”
"And this kind of ring is called the Void Ring. How's that going?
Blake suddenly said, "Ah, no wonder when we left Marco Town to come here, the teacher didn't need a backpack to stock up on food and clothing. ”
Blake calls Vertis his teacher, and it seems that he has completely let his guard down and sees Vertis as a true teacher.
Genosis said, "Well, though it is very valuable, it seems that this ring has already been recognized, so I would like to say thank you to you on behalf of my brother and me, Prince Kane." ”
Genossis' focus is not at all the same as Blake's;
Veltis smiled and said, "Well, time is running out, this time has caused you a lot of trouble here, Brother Kane, Miss Olivia, goodbye! ”
Olivia muttered in her heart: (Hmph!) Although the trouble is not very troublesome, but who knows that you Veltis will not sincerely say thank you to others if you take advantage of it.) )
Veltis is notoriously thick-skinned on the continent.
..................
On the carriage leaving Tesla's King City-Sainz, Vertis was preoccupied. Blake asked, "Teacher, what's wrong with you, aren't you happy?"
Veltis shook his head and said, "No, uh, so let's do it, you guys should quickly adjust your physical fitness, and then I'm going to teach you a lot of things." I'm just thinking about your training plan. ”
Blake nodded, and asked no more.
Their next destination was a place three hundred and fifty kilometers southeast of the town of Marco.
Coniferous Mountains.
"What is the first thing you are going to do when you want to go to an unfamiliar place?"
Genosis quickly replied: "Buy the map." ”
This was his curiosity since he looked at the map of the Kainoran continent, and whenever he arrived in a new place, the first thing he would do was buy a map of the local area.
Veltis smiled and said, "It's accurate, but the first thing I want to say is to make sure where you can fill your stomach. ”
Blake burst out laughing, wondering if he had another pile of chicken legs in his head.
The carriage swayed along the way.
This time, Vertis continued to do the same, letting the two of them run the mountain where he felt fit.
However, from the king city of Tesla Sainz to the coniferous mountains, it is actually quite a bit farther than back to Marcotown. However, no one knew what Viltis wanted the two of them to do here in the taiga.
However, this time, the two of them have awakened, their physical fitness has improved greatly, and this long-distance journey actually took 27 days to reach the Coniferous Mountains. Obviously, Veltis still released his breath, so that they didn't encounter any magical beasts along the way.
Because the current Genosis and is too weak. To be able to protect yourself in the ordinary wilderness, you must reach at least the third order.
Of course, this third-order strength does not mean deliberately picking some nests with powerful demonic beasts...... Rather, it's an ordinary wilderness.
The trio crossed mountains and mountains, crossing rivers of various sizes along the way, and finally came to the outskirts of the taiga mountains. Most of the trees here are mainly coniferous, hence the name Coniferous Mountains. The trees here are very tall, but the leaves look a bit sparse.
The mountains are like waves.
The three of them stood at a certain ridge, and Veltis pointed to the opposite slope: "See, there!"
It was already getting into summer, and the sun was a little dazzling, and Genesys looked along the fingertips of Veltis, and there was actually a fortress on the opposite hillside. The fortress looks like a barrel stuck in a dirt slope, and at the top is a semi-circular horizontal square connected to the mountain.
Blake looked at the leather shoes that had worn out the soles, and said with a wry smile: "Teacher, there are leather shoes to buy there, right?"
Veltis nodded and said, "I'm also tired during this time, let's hurry up and rest for two days after we pass." ”
Hearing that they could rest, Geneosis and Blake were a little excited. But the fortress looked close from afar, but the three of them seemed to have walked for a long time to arrive. And as the distance decreased, Genosis and Blake also felt the enormity of the fortress.
It was a huge cement block.
It is densely packed with various facilities.
At the foot of the hill, the three of them came to the lowest point on the hillside, which was the outer entrance to the fortress. Looking at the knight guarding the door, Veltis laughed and said, "Brothers, I'm back!"
From the entrance to the fortress at the foot of the mountain, you can see the fortress as if it were a cliff.
But the knights guarding the gate did not rush over, but saluted on the spot.
Virtis shook his head with a smile, and then led the two into the fortress.
After entering the fortress, the inside is not as dim as expected, but brightly lit.
"Electric ...... Electric light?!" Blake was stunned and said, "Why is there an electric light here?" Veltis laughed and said: "This thing has been invented for a long time, it was originally a foreign technology, and later the people of the Tesla family secretly researched it, and also created such a thing, but it is currently only used in the military, and it is not popularized in the civilian class." ”
The interior of the fortress is huge, and it is filled with all sorts of technology and magic that Generosis and Blake have never seen.
"The fortress is divided into three large layers, each of which is divided into several small layers: the upper layer is the armed area, the middle level is the living area, and the lowest level is the reserve area. My fortress is mainly supplied with geothermal energy. The area two thousand meters underground here was originally an active volcano, but later it was forcibly suppressed by magic, and its energy was absorbed by the magic array, and it was transmitted to the surface of more than two thousand meters for energy supply. ”
Vertis gave a general introduction, and then took the two of them to the elevator inside the fortress.
The elevators here are also divided into several sizes, and the largest elevator can even fit a horse-drawn carriage. (At the time, Genosis and Black didn't know that the elevator was used to transport tanks, and they didn't know what tanks were.) )
Veltis led the two to the living quarters. There are a total of eight floors on the living quarters. Genosis asked curiously, "Lord Vertis, how many soldiers are stationed in this fortress?"
"About thirteen thousand," said Vertes. A thousand of them are magicians, five thousand are knights, and the rest are all sorts of other troops, as well as support staff, as well as some magic and technology research and development staff. ”
After registering the dormitory in the living quarters, Veltis led them straight to the rooftop of the fortress.
A solemn atmosphere came to my face.
It seems that everyone in this fortress knows that their commander has returned.
When the elevator door opens, the setting sun slowly comes into view. Two rows of knights facing each other rode their own starlight unicorn beasts, and bowed respectfully to Vertis:
"Your Highness Virtis, please instruct!"
