The fog thinned out, and sunlight poured down from the sky, casting strange flickers of light through the dense forest. A small group of heavily armed warriors with sharp spears were trudging through the forest, their steel boots crushing the dead branches and leaves beneath their feet.

Four pikemen formed a formation in front of two and two behind, escorting Levi to the depths of the dense forest, from where he looked back at the high watchtower of the refugee camp and turned into a vague shadow. Although the sun had thinned the fog from the sun at noon, at such a distance, it was difficult for even a sharp eye to penetrate the fog and see Levi in the depths of the dense forest.

The young knight squire carefully examined his surroundings and nodded in satisfaction, then he walked over to a large tree, closed his eyes, and began to whisper in his heart.

"Mr. Dich, are you there?"

He didn't have to wait long before the old magician's old voice rang in Levi's head.

"Yes, little one, is there anything else?"

"That's right, Mr. Dich, there wasn't much food in the camp, and last night the demon set fire to several of the granaries, and now the camp has less than two days of food. Didn't you say I could get some food from the heart of the castle?

"Of course, little one. The old magician happily agreed, and then Levi felt a flash of light in front of him, and several small blue and white points of light converged in his mind to form a new set of magic runes, which were also engraved in the memory of the young knight's squire, alongside the other three sets of magic runes.

Levi was of course happy to learn a new kind of magic, but the newly generated rune made him a little confused. He sensed it a little, and found that this new group of runes was slightly brighter than the original three, emitting a faint bluish-white light.

Levi knew that he was definitely not a person with any good magical qualifications. What's more, even if you have excellent magical qualifications, if you want to reach the level where you can master intermediate magic such as fireball art and protective arrows, you will have to go through at least a few years of learning. Not to mention the fact that there is one that is very different from ordinary magic, but rather a healing technique used by priests.

The old magician didn't know what means he used, so that Levi directly gained the ability to use these magics, and if this method was known by the mage guild, it would inevitably cause an uproar. However, Levi didn't take this into account at all, and the old magician, although he did, didn't take it seriously at all.

The runes of the Fireball Technique were dark red in Levi's perception, with wisps of scorching heat on them, the runes of the protective arrows showed a pale green color, and the breath of the wind lingered on the runes, and the runes of the Healing Technique were faint and soft white light, which seemed to make people feel calm.

The new rune didn't make Levi feel any breath, just floated quietly, and if he paid attention for a little longer, he would feel a dizzy feeling that was difficult to grasp.

"Mr. Dich, what kind of magic is this?" asked Levi as he curiously touched the rune with his mental power. This rune suddenly flashed with a bright blue-white light, and then Levi felt as if something had been taken from his body, and his chest seemed to be pressed against a big stone, and he was a little out of breath all of a sudden.

"Oh, little one, you're so curious...... This magic isn't something you can use casually right now. The old magician also seemed to be startled, and then a gentle force was injected into Levi's body, and the feeling of boredom in his chest suddenly eased a lot.

The sonorous sound of steel colliding was heard, and Levi opened his eyes to see a blue-white ball of light appear in front of him, and two tall warriors wrapped in metal armor were walking out of the ball of light. They all wore a full-face helmet, a blue and white ribbon tied to the top of the helmet, fluttering in the wind in a heroic look, and in their hands they held a steel-made sword and a round shield with a griffon emblem, a faint sky-blue light surrounding their bodies, rising and falling slightly with their breathing.

"Could this light be ......" Levi's heart beat violently a few times, and he couldn't believe his eyes.

"That's right, little one, that's what you imagined, vindictive. The old magician said in a proud voice, "These two alchemist warriors are not simple, the building that recruits them is called the Sword Soldier Battalion, and it can only be built after the heart of the castle is advanced again. And these two are stronger warriors obtained by transforming them on the basis of ordinary swordsmen, and they are called crusaders. The ordinary swordsmen recruited in the heart of the castle are all warriors who have reached level 6 or above and have comprehended the Fighting Spirit Seed. The Crusaders went one step further, although their level had not been raised, but the Dou Qi Seed they had mastered had been promoted again, and they had become Dou Qi Dissipation. ”

Levi listened to the old magician's explanation, and there was only one thought left in his heart - this time it was developed.

Dou Qi is a thing that is as magical as magic, which can greatly strengthen the owner's body, and many professionals who exercise ** dream of it. Generally speaking, when the class level reaches level 5 or above, it is possible to trigger the opportunity to comprehend the fighting spirit, so as to get the opportunity to advance to a higher level. However, this is just a theory, in fact, it is a level 7 or 8 professional, and there are many people who are still blocked from the hall of fighting spirit and are not allowed to enter.

The opportunity to comprehend the Dou Qi is different for everyone, and the Dou Qi cultivated is also different, but it can be roughly divided into three stages. The first stage is the Dou Qi Seed, and the Dou Qi at this stage is still in an embryonic state, and the enhancement of combat effectiveness is also insignificant, only about one-tenth of the degree.

The second stage is called Dou Qi Dispersion, and the Dou Qi in this stage begins to be released, which can spontaneously form an uncontrollable protective layer outside the body, which has a great weakening effect on magic. At the same time, it is also a necessary condition for all kinds of training and promotion to the advanced stage. Simply strengthened**, after reaching a certain height, stagnation will occur, and this bottleneck will appear when the average person reaches level 10 in the profession. Only by comprehending the Dou Qi and cultivating the Dou Qi to the stage of dissipating the Dou Qi can the body be further strengthened, so as to achieve the goal of continuing to advance.

The third stage of the fighting spirit, only senior professionals can comprehend this step, this stage of the fighting spirit can not only be released from the body, forming a protective shield. It can also exert a special surname of vindictiveness, forming a variety of incredible effects. The Dou Qi at this stage is called Dou Qi Tianhua, and the professionals who can comprehend the Dou Qi Tianhua are noble enough to surpass the Great Magician and be on an equal footing with the Magister.

Legend has it that there is another stage above the Dou Qi Tianhua, and everyone who has reached this stage is a legend and a genius. Like the archmages who have comprehended the power of the origin of magic, they can put the word "holy" in front of their names, and their status is comparable to that of any king on the continent.

Of course, these are still far from the young knight squires, that is, the knight of Ston served by Levi, although he has comprehended the Dou Qi Seed, he has not been able to reach the point of promoting the Dou Qi Seed to the point of Dou Qi dissipation, so he is a low-level knight. In the Viscount Castle, there are no more than 20 knights who can comprehend the Dou Qi Seed, and no more than 5 knights who can reach the point of Dou Qi dissipation, including the Grand Knight Captain Wilps, who has reached level 11.

Now there were two alchemy warriors with a fighting spirit in front of him, and Levi couldn't even hold his breath at this moment.

The iron armor was sonorous, and the two crusader swordsmen walked up to Levi, both holding their swords and shields, knelt down on one knee, and said, "Lord of the city, we offer you our loyalty and fight for you to the end. ”

Levi rubbed his hands a little confused, trying to help the two swordsmen, but as soon as his hand was stretched out, he heard the old magician's voice with a smile.

"Really, little one, haven't you seen the ceremony of accepting the knight's allegiance, slap your sword lightly on their shoulder armor, and then say, ......"

"Ah, I remember!, Mr. Dysh, thank you very much for the reminder!" Levi cried out as if he had just woken up from a dream, drew his sword, and struck it lightly on the shoulder armor of the two Crusader swordsmen, and then said in as loud a voice as possible, "I accept your allegiance in the name of the master of the heart of the castle!"

"We swear to be the sword in the hands of the city lord, to remove all obstacles for you, to fight against all powerful enemies, to fight the fire, and not to die!" replied the two crusader swordsmen in a loud voice, which made Levi's ears ring.
