"However, even if I don't form an inner membrane, with fencing, my actual combat power will reach the knight level. ”

Kevin swept the gloom off his face, cheered up, wiped his sweat with a towel, put on a coat, and walked into the house.

The interior of the house is decorated in a minimalist style according to his request, with only a few tables and chairs placed on the huge first floor.

Half a year ago, Kevin contacted Randall, bought a house near Wellington at a large cost, and moved out after talking to Brandon Ward.

During this time, he lived an extremely regular life, college, residence, two points in a line, constantly repeated.

After three classes a day, six hours of meditation are followed by physical and swordsmanship exercises, without any recreational activities.

Although this kind of life is inevitably boring, it has made great progress in all aspects.

Especially in botany, Brandon carefully taught theoretical knowledge and opened a special plant cultivation room, which provided Kevin with a place to practice.

After continuous experimentation, Kevin gradually integrated the knowledge he learned.

Just a month ago, he had successfully planted a low-grade demonic Mist Spirit Grass, which made Brandon call him a genius.

Because the magic plant is different from ordinary plants, in addition to water, soil, and sunlight, it also needs spiritual power and special fertilizer to warm up, and planting the magic plant is a long-term project.

Stopping his divergent thoughts, Kevin walked to his room and pulled out the album Angus had left behind.

After taking a total of three Blood Source Stones, his body finally underwent a mutation, and large red spots appeared on his arms, as if he had some kind of skin disease.

He looked through the atlas and soon found a painting that was about the size of his arm.

"Hmm... Erythema... Appears around the age of fifteen in the Bloodline, and is a precursor to the scaling of the arm. Kevin closed the album and secretly wondered, "The reason why the inner membrane has not been formed, could it be that the black mist has catalyzed the body, and the power of the bloodline is not yet mature?"

Kevin slapped his thigh, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that his speculation was correct, and it was almost common sense that there was no bottleneck period for bloodliners, and there was no reason not to apply to him.

"Knock knock!"

He put the atlas away when he heard a quick knock on the door.

"Come in. ”

The door opened, and Randall and Leather Monkey stood in the doorway, panting and red-faced, as if they had just finished a long run.

Kevin narrowed his eyes and asked, "What is it that makes you so flustered? Is there something wrong with Gretta?"

Due to his heavy academic workload, he couldn't get out of his body, and the task of spying on Greta naturally fell to the Randall trio.

They had learned the tracking techniques of the military and reported to Kevin on Gretta's condition at regular intervals each week.

Randall shook his head and handed the envelope to Kevin, "Greta is all right, and it's still under our surveillance, it's the defense of Limogan that has gone wrong." ”

"Front?" Kevin opened the envelope, revealing some classified military data.

The data shows that under the long-term attrition of the war, even with the soldiers supported by various lords, the defense of Limogen City at this time is very weak, and it is in urgent need of the support of a second group of troops.

"Originally, under the leadership of Lord Angus, the Ottoman Empire had not been able to make substantial progress. However, yesterday a lord near Limogen suddenly defected to the Ottoman Empire and launched a rebellion, causing a large number of casualties. ”

Randall recounted the battle as he spoke, his lips white, his standing uneasy, and his heart anxious.

Kevin looked up and asked calmly, "Why did there suddenly become a mutiny?"

"I don't know why. Randall stepped forward and said with an excited expression, "Master Kevin, the front line is urgent, I want to go with the Skinny Monkey to support Master Angus, and I can let Tim stay and spy on Gretta." ”

Randall's loyalty to the Norton family is unquestionable, and he doesn't care about his life in the slightest.

"Randall, can you turn the tide of battle with a single knight? Don't be impulsive, trust your father's abilities. Kevin reprimanded loudly.

Randall's abilities deserve Kevin's trust, and without his sitting, Tim is prone to accidents when he tracks Greta, which Kevin can't tolerate.

Moreover, Kevin has no feelings for Angus, the titular father, and with his indifferent character, it can be regarded as benevolent and righteous to remind Angus to retreat before the war.

He has always been pessimistic about the war.

The kingdom of Turin has been at ease for too long, and it is only after the fall of the city of Limogen that the lords feel the pressure of death that they unite against foreign enemies.

It was wishful thinking to expect the selfish lords to send a large number of soldiers before that.

Randall lowered his head, his fists clenched, and his expression was unwilling, but he didn't dare to disobey Kevin's orders.

The atmosphere suddenly stiffened, and the skinny monkey on the side secretly poked Randall with his fingers while desperately glaring.

Randall slowly released his fist and replied respectfully, "I see, young master." ”

Kevin nodded in satisfaction and asked the question in his mind, "Has Greta had anything unusual lately?"

"Greta goes to the abandoned huts on the outskirts of the city more often, from every seven days to every three or four days. Randall added, "Not only that, but she also applied to several mentors for early completion." ”

"Closing early?Greta found out that someone was following her and wanted to escape?.... No, she didn't need to do it at all. ”

Kevin's mind was full of thoughts, and he was faintly uneasy, and many things were intertwined, as if there was some kind of connection.

Seeing that Kevin was lost in thought, Randall and Skinny Monkey playfully closed the door and left the room.

Kevin paced back and forth in the room when he suddenly thought of something and opened the map attached to the envelope.

With just a casual glance, he found the problem, and his pupils suddenly contracted: "It can't be a coincidence that the territory of Alfred and Greta is actually located on the two necessary roads to the hinterland of the Kingdom of Turin. ”

"So... The Black Mist Possessed is an undercover agent planted by the Ottoman Empire?"

If there are also black fog possessors who Kevin doesn't know, they are also undercover agents, and they mutinie at the same time, and the consequences are catastrophic.

The Ottoman Empire could destroy the entire kingdom of Turin in one fell swoop.

"It doesn't make sense, Cass and the Tramp don't qualify as pawns, and they can't explain the weirdness of the Black Mist. Kevin shook his head and immediately dismissed the speculation.

Kevin's face was solemn and his eyes were deep: "But no matter what, to prepare for the worse, you must leave a way back." ”
