Chapter Seventy-Six: The Killer and the Chase
"Of course, if you don't want to do that, there are other options."
As if sensing Artimus's thoughts, Aeus smiled and said, "It's not like the past. ”
"Nowadays, the professions among the mortals have begun to rise, but many of the nobles of the past have become downcast, and some things that were considered absolute secrets in the past have naturally been passed down."
"As long as you are strong enough, when you reach that level, you will naturally have a corresponding way."
As he spoke, he glanced at Yadimu and said with a smile, "After all, you haven't reached the point where you need to think about that issue yet. ”
"The problems of the future, when you reach that level, you will not think about it."
"You're right."
Artimus nodded, agreeing with Aesius' words.
Indeed, he was still a long way from the time when he had to think about that issue.
After returning from Noah's world, although Yadimu's strength has changed, it is still far from truly reaching the Great Knight.
Below the level of the Great Knight, even if Adim now obtains the Knight's Secret Codex, he can't actually use it.
Therefore, it may not be too late to consider this problem after Artimu is successfully promoted and becomes a real great knight.
When that time comes, his strength will be stronger and he will see farther, and he will naturally have a way.
After a moment's casual chat, Artim then turned to leave.
Standing there, Aesius looked at the figure of Artimus leaving, a knowing smile on his face.
Artimu quickly returned to his room, and then began another day of training.
But this time, he didn't train in combat skills, but in breathing techniques.
The familiar morning sun breathing method recalled in his mind, and according to what was written on it, Yadimu slowly worked hard.
Along with his movements, the life energy in his body was also surging, and the powerful power was released with it, slowly spreading everywhere.
It's a process of activating the seeds of life.
With Yadimu's movements, the life seeds in his body were constantly stimulated, and more and more life energy emerged and spread out together.
After a long moment, Artimus stopped his movements.
Standing where he was, he was lost in thought.
"Still a little bit ....."
In recent times, he has fallen into a noticeable stagnation.
Whether it's breathing or something else, he's already at the top, and there's not much point in continuing to train.
At this moment, although Yadimu's strength is still growing, the growth rate has become extremely slow.
And he doesn't know how far away he is from the level of the Great Knight.
Theoretically speaking, according to the content recorded in the Morning Star Breathing Method, as long as this breathing method is practiced to the extreme, it is basically at the apex of the knight, and it is only one step away from the great knight.
Yadimu has now reached this level.
But how to cross this level, how to move forward, Yadimu had no clue.
Relying solely on water milling and relying on the growth brought about by the passage of time to move forward?
Yes, yes.
With the further improvement of the power of the bloodline, Yadimu can already feel the change in himself.
He had a hunch that as time passed, he might be able to cross that threshold even if he didn't train much.
But it takes quite a long time for the bloodline to grow.
How long will it take?
Artimus himself didn't know.
If you refer to the situation of normal people, it is generally after the age of 20 to reach the peak of physical fitness.
But Artim is clearly not a normal person now.
As his bloodline ascensed, the kind of traits in him that belonged to the ancient masters became more and more obvious.
According to Aesius, this is a manifestation of the richness of blood in the body.
This brings not only a change in appearance, but also a great increase in lifespan.
Even if a pure-blooded ancient master did nothing, he could easily live for three hundred years.
Their formative years are also very different from those of ordinary people.
According to this situation, with the stimulation of the bloodline in Adimu's body, he may not know how long it will take for him to reach his peak.
Maybe it's going to take 10 or 8 years.
Obviously, this time cannot wait.
Then there is no other way.
Artimus sighed and turned his mind to another force.
The core of mana.
With the improvement of the fighter training method, the core of magic power in his body has been solidified at this moment, and he is absorbing the magic power that exists in the outside world every moment and uses it to refine his body.
It is precisely because of the existence of these magical powers that Yadimu can continue to maintain the growth of his strength at the moment, and he has not completely stagnated.
However, before, when it came to the use of magic, Artimu had always exercised restraint.
But judging from the current situation, it seems that there is no other way.
The thought crossed his mind, and he raised his hand.
In a place invisible to ordinary people, the magic power from all over the place was gathered, condensed in the palm of Artimu's hand, and then dispersed.
Standing still, Artimu continued to train.
As he trained, the magic power from all over the place was drawn and converged towards his body.
For the next few days, Yadimu spent the next few days training like this.
It wasn't until early one morning that the situation changed.
It was an ordinary day, and as soon as it was light, Artimus set out from his home and walked towards where Aesius was.
It's been a habit he's been using lately.
During this time, he traveled to Aesius' place in the morning to attend classes and learn about the transformation ritual, and spent the rest of his time trying to train and improve his strength.
If nothing else, these days will continue until the hourglass is activated again and Artimus travels to another world.
But on this day, the unexpected still appeared.
"Huh?"
In the early morning, when Adim stood outside the familiar door, he did not feel the familiar breath.
After condensing the core of magic power, he was a little sensitive to the changes in various breaths at this moment, so he keenly felt a change at this moment.
So, standing in front of the gate, he was silent for a while, and then he reached out and opened the door in front of him.
Scratch .......
In mid-air, a soft sound was heard.
It was the sound of a long sword swinging, stabbing out reluctantly.
In front of Adimu, a long sword suddenly stabbed him in the chest.
In this regard, Yadimu's expression did not change in the slightest, but he turned sideways slightly, and directly dodged the blow.
The next moment, he drew his sword.
Bang!
The sound of gold and iron intertwined crossed the place, bringing out a crisp sound.
A tremendous force was transmitted from the palm of the hand forward.
Then a figure in front of him flew out directly.
Taking advantage of this gap, Yadimu probably saw the other party's appearance clearly.
The other party was dressed in a short robe that was easy to sneak into, and he wore a unique bronze mask on his face, and he looked like a killer.
Of course, in reality, the other party may really be a killer.
The blow was knocked out, and the figure in front of him did not hesitate at all, and turned around and left.
He rushed out at once, and jumped out of the window at once by taking advantage of the arrangement prepared in advance, and the whole process was completed in one go, and Yadimu couldn't help but be surprised when he saw it.
However, he did not hesitate at all, and directly turned around and chased after him.
The figure in front of him went all the way forward, and I don't know when, there was an extra horse beside him.
Artimus frowned, but chased after him.
And so the horrific scene began to happen.
As Artimus moved forward, the figure in front of him was shocked to find that the distance between him and Artimu was shrinking.
He ran faster than a horse!
Feeling this, he couldn't help but be horrified in his heart.
Because what he is doing is not an ordinary horse, but it has been carefully bred by mages to deal with fights between professionals, and the speed is not much faster than ordinary war horses.
However, Yadimu did not fall behind at all by relying on himself.
It's terrifying.
"Don't let him catch up!"
Looking at the appearance of Yadimu behind him, the killer was horrified, and then quickly moved forward.
They chased all the way to a remote area.
"Huh?"
Arriving at this place, Artimus quickly realized that something was wrong.
Because with their chase, they have come to the edge of the academy.
If you continue to take a step forward, you will have to go out of the confines of the academy.
Inside and outside the academy, it may seem like there's no difference, but it's actually a big difference.
Within the Academy, there are guardians in charge of guarding them.
In the academy, there are not only large magic circles arranged by mages to monitor the movements in them, but also special guardians to guard them.
Once an outside professional enters it and wields its power here, the resulting disturbance will soon alarm the Guardians and attract the attention of the entire Academy.
Therefore, after realizing that he was about to leave the academy, Yadimu did not hesitate at all and stopped directly.
Although he is still a little confident in his own strength, since the other party clearly wants to hang Yadimu out, Yadimu naturally can't follow their wishes.
God knows what's waiting for him in that place out there.
It is better not to take such unnecessary risks.
"It's a pity, there are no bows and arrows......."
Stopping in place, Artimu looked at the back of the horse in front of him, feeling a little regretful.
If he had a bow and arrow in his hand, at this distance, he believed that the other party would never have a chance to escape.
But Artimu clearly didn't have it in his hands.
After all, he had come to visit Aeus before, and it was already good to be able to wear a long sword with him, so how could he bring a bow with him?
Artimus turned, trying to leave the place in search of Aesius.
Ahead, however, a strange movement struck.
The breeze blows and brings a different meaning.
Yadimu's body opened slightly to the side and moved a few steps to the side.
Then, in his original position, a long arrow appeared, nailing directly to the ground.
