Chapter 82: The Breakthrough of the Pranayama Method (7,000 Words Chapter, Ask for Subscription!) )
The fireworks in the world are the most charming.
Roy's arrival caught the attention of everyone in the main square.
For Roy, the lord of the Black Stone Collar and the Iron Mountain Lord, even if it is the Black Stone Collar, the number of people who have seen his true face is not very large.
Because in the past, it was the old lord of the Blackstone Collar who attended large public occasions.
Everyone in the Blackstone Territory knows that the son of the lord is named Roy Tulumbel, but not many have actually seen it.
The way most people identify Roy is by Roy's travels, the Knight Captain Red, who must be with him when he travels.
Dressed in dark silver full-body armor, the tall and mighty bronze knight is too recognizable.
And this year is Roy's first year as the lord of the Blackstone Domain and the Iron Mountain Domain, and the victory of the noisy "Territory Merger Battle" some time ago made all the lords full of curiosity about Roy.
The "brutality" of Lord Denham of the Iron Mountain is vividly reflected in the way he governs the territory.
After Roy became the lord of the Iron Mountain Domain, a series of "relaxed" policies were promulgated, which made countless people of the Iron Mountain Territory cheer and even cry with joy.
The wish of the people of the Iron Mountain Lords is very simple, and it is very simple, as long as they can be fed and clothed, but it is such an ordinary request, but it is an untouchable dream during the reign of Lord Denham.
Therefore, they are undoubtedly grateful to Roy, the current lord.
Right now, seeing the black-haired and brown-eyed young man in gorgeous clothes who arrived at the entrance of the main square under the escort of Red and more than a dozen knights, as long as he is not too stupid, he can guess the identity of the person.
Suddenly, the originally noisy and extraordinary large square suddenly became much quieter, and the people behind the square who did not know the truth also closed their mouths under the influence of the environment, and soon, the huge square became quiet, only the "crackling" sound of the fire burning.
The crowd automatically avoided the sides, opening a passage for Roy and the Cavaliers to the high platform in the center of the Grand Plaza.
Recovering from his trance, Roy shook his head with a smile, and then, under the gaze of thousands of pairs of eyes with different emotions, strode forward and climbed the high platform.
The Cavaliers dispersed automatically, guarding the perimeter of the high platform, and Roy was accompanied on the stage by a figure wearing a hooded gray robe and a white cat mask in addition to Red.
It's Shanica, the healing witch.
As for the other witches, Ice Witch Ace is now next to Roy, and she is in the state of "crown elementalization", which is not something that ordinary people can see.
Lilia, the Witch of Shadows, melted into the shadows and looked around with a nostalgic and emotional look.
As for the two little ones Vivien, the Witch of Light and Elena the Witch of Illusion, Roy originally wanted to ask Ace, the Witch of Ice or Lilia, the Witch of Shadows, to help cover her figure, but she didn't expect Vivien, the Witch of Light, to pat her chest hard, and confidently said that she would just leave the matter of covering her body to her.
Then, under Roy's gaze, Vivien, the witch of light, reached out to hold the little hand of Elena the phantom witch, and the two small ones slowly disappeared into the air.
Vivian, the witch of light, has the talent of controlling light, and human vision is essentially the image of light and shadow, as long as the refraction of light is controlled, the effect of stealth can be achieved.
Of course, this invisibility of Vivien, the witch of light, can only affect vision, and if a powerful knight spreads out to perceive it, it can be perceived. But how could there be a powerful knight of this strength in the Black Stone Collar's Abundance Celebration, even if it appeared, Ice Witch Ace would be able to detect it first and make a reminder.
……
It was close to six o'clock in the evening, and it was already completely dark.
The Harvest Festival is approaching, which means that the time has entered late autumn, and the daylight hours are shorter and the nighttime hours are longer.
Everywhere the vigorous bonfires dispel the darkness and bring a steady source of light, the beating and leaping flames are like the hearts of the people gathered here, fiery and happy.
Roy ascended the platform, surrounded by the glow of the campfires, reflecting the raised mottled faces and the glimmering eyes of anticipation.
Facing the gaze of thousands of people, Roy's heart was unexpectedly calm.
After coming to this world, crises came one after another, so that he didn't even have a room to breathe, even now, he still can't be called safe. But it was these crises that urged him to quickly change his mentality and become resolute, resolute and calm.
After looking around, Roy slowly spoke:
"Blackstone Lord, Iron Mountain Lord, and all the lords, I am your lord, Lord Blackstone, Roy Tulumbel."
"This year is very special, Blackstone and Iron Mountain merged, many of you are meeting me for the first time, and you don't know me as a person, here, I will briefly introduce myself."
"I am a person with clear rewards and punishments, meritorious deeds must be rewarded, and faults must be punished, and no one is an exception."
"I like law-abiding people, and in the Black Stone Collar and the Iron Mountain Collar, my words are rules and regulations."
"As long as you follow the rules I have set, I can guarantee that life will be better for everyone in the coming year."
"And those who break my rules will be punished severely!"
The word "punishment" fell, and the weapons on the waists of the knights around the high platform were unsheathed, and the sharp humming sound made the hearts of the leaders tremble.
"Today is the festival of abundance, and it is the celebration of the first expansion of the Tulunbuir family's territory, so I won't say much more."
"Let's enjoy the festival to the fullest!"
After looking around again, and seeing the look of awe in the eyes of the leaders, Roy nodded with satisfaction.
As a manager, it is natural to be kind, graceful and powerful, and to give a sweet date with a big stick is the way for the territory to operate for a long time.
Especially since he has just become a lord, majesty is more important than kindness.
After Roy finished speaking, the entire Grand Plaza was silent for five seconds.
"Whew!"
At this time, several fireworks dragging streamers rushed into the air and exploded into brilliant fireworks.
"Oh——!"
The silence was ignited, and cheers erupted.
The fireworks in full bloom were reflected in the eyes of each of the lords, and their emotions reached a peak at once.
The maids and peasant girls around the square began to busily put the gravy soup in the pot and distribute it to the bowls, and even the food on the wooden table was taken by every citizen without wasting or hiding it privately, and the wine and juice could be drunk to their heart's content.
Under the sound of the loud noise, Roy walked down the platform with a smile on his face, and came to an area in the depths of the main square that was specially prepared for him—a small area that he had specially ordered to Red beforehand, surrounded on all sides by tarpaulin, with only a narrow entrance.
This arrangement is naturally to prevent people from outside from seeing the scene inside.
This is the place he has prepared for himself to spend the rich season with the witches.
"Uncle Red, it's time to maintain the order of the celebration." Standing at the entrance, followed by Shanica, a healing witch in a gray hooded robe and a white cat mask, Roy turned to Red, who was one position behind.
"Lord Roy, please rest assured."
Red nodded, his eyes swept over the area enclosed by the tarpaulin, saw all kinds of food that had been prepared in it, nodded slightly, and then turned around and led a team of knights to start patrolling the main square.
The activities of thousands of people, disputes are inevitable, especially some people who are not good at drinking alcohol and like to play drunk when they are drunk, which need to be dealt with by the Cavaliers.
Seeing Red leave, Roy walked into the tarpaulin area, closed the door, and then said with a smile: "Everyone can show up, there is no need to worry about anyone seeing here." ”
Roy's voice fell, and a blue particle of light appeared beside him, and then, the perfect, slender body of Ace, the Ice Witch, was slowly revealed.
The purple dress was coated with a hazy halo in the firelight, and the surrounding blue light particles had not completely dissipated, like a spirit in the ice and snow, beautiful and light.
After Ace, the Ice Witch, appeared, Vivien, the Witch of Light, and Elena, the Witch of Illusions, also appeared.
The two little ones held hands, and because of their similar age, their relationship became familiar in just a few days.
Vivien, the witch of light, is dressed in a simple pure white suspender dress, with a faint pink skin in her white tenderness, she is the one with the best skin among all the witches, and with her timid eyes, she is simply a little angel who has descended into the world.
The phantom witch Elena wore a short leather coat and skirt that was easy to move, the cuffs and neckline of the short dress had soft white fluff, and the waist of the short skirt was tied with a circle of hollow metal delicate belt, outlining the waist more and more slender, and the slightly chubby thighs and slender straight calves were exposed to the air and dazzlingly white.
Her golden fox ears stood straight, her big fluffy tail wagged behind her, and she looked at anything around her with eagerness in her eyes.
Shanica, the healing witch behind Roy, took off her hooded robe and mask, and today she wore a special costume - a black and white maid outfit.
When Roy found Shanica in the afternoon, she was still wearing a goose yellow plain dress, but she didn't expect to change into this outfit now!
The apron decorated with white ruffles and lace, the one-piece dress with a white collar and a black background, and the huge apron bow tied behind him, swaying slightly with the owner's movements.
Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the placket in front of her that is propped up by Wei'an, the heavy and thick feeling, people can't help but worry about whether the buttons of the placket will collapse because they are too tight.
Shanika, who took off her gray hooded robe, took out a white maid towel from her pocket and put it on her head, the two white and gold horns looked delicate and cute, she looked at Roy with a smile, and the moist eyes in her eyes flowed: "Young Master Roy, I'll bake food for you and everyone~"
Most of the food on the wooden table is already cooked, but like steaks, it is best to bake them freshly with honey.
Roy sat down on the recliner erected by the campfire and exhaled comfortably, "Then I'm sorry for you, Shanica." ”
"I'm your head maid, that's what I'm supposed to do." Shanica smiled softly, went to the campfire, and began to skillfully grill the steak.
On the edge of Roy's chaise longue, shadows rose like fluids against the current, forming the delicate body of Lilia, the shadow witch, in a tight black matte leather suit.
The strong, powerful thighs, from the bottom to the top, until a full arc has passed, suddenly tightened, touching the heart.
Roy lay in his chair, looking up at the full, bright Scarlet Moon with a hint of relief in his eyes.
Now that he is surrounded by witches, it can be said that he has the safest moment.
"This year is the first time we've spent the festival together."
Roy's eyes diverged slightly, and his tone was leisurely.
"Yes." Lilia, the shadow witch, had a complicated look in her eyes.
Her gaze swept over the two little ones who had already run to the campfire, looking with relish at the curing witch Shanica's kebab, and also over the Ice Witch Ace, who was sitting quietly in a chair and picking up a glass of juice to drink elegantly.
The hustle and bustle of human voices came not far away, including the joy of children, the farmers' expectations for the next year's harvest, and the trivial chores of the peasant women's daily life.
After hesitating, she stepped open her slender thighs and came to the table to pick up a beer.
This is a wine made from wheat, and the degree is not high, and the witches have the lowest body of a silver knight, so it is impossible for them to get drunk with this amount of wine.
The beer entered her throat, first bitter, then faint the slightest sweetness, and under the influence of alcohol, a faint flush appeared on the cheeks of Lilia, the shadow witch.
As a wandering witch, Lilia couldn't remember how long it had been since she had drunk.
Now that I drink it again, the bitterness is still there, but there is no confusion in my heart.
"That's nice......"
Looking at the witches around him who were immersed in the atmosphere of the celebration, Roy sighed in his heart, and then, his heart became more and more determined - Blackstone Collar was his home in this world, and he would never allow anyone to destroy this place.
Whether it's the second prince, the Duke of the Border, or the Empire, or the Temple.
I need to get stronger......
Roy closed his eyes, his breathing rhythmic between his mouth and nose.
The peace of mind gave him a deeper understanding of the "Burst Flame Breathing Method".
When the Burst Flame Breath was first practiced, the practitioner was asked to imagine his or her own emotions of incomparable anger, which facilitated an explosion of power.
However, as the practice deepened, the practitioner began to be at peace in his heart and not let negative emotions such as anger sway his mind.
Anger in the body and peace of mind are the core essence of the Burst Flame Breathing Method.
Although Roy knew this in the past, knowing and being able to do it were two different things.
Now, in the special environment of the night of the Pungyang celebration, he has a deeper sense of the core essence of the Burst Flame Breathing Method.
And with the deepening of this feeling, the "Explosive Flame Breathing Method" in Roy's body began to work spontaneously, condensing the fighting spirit.
The speed of condensing Dou Qi in this way is far less than when you are concentrating on cultivation, but you must know that this is automatic.
Feeling the "change" in his body, Roy had a heartfelt smile on his face.
The deepening of the comprehension of the "Burst Flame Breathing Method" has made his vindictive cultivation change from the original must be carried out actively, to the current active + passive form.
Even if he didn't deliberately cultivate, the amount of fighting qi condensed by the spontaneous breathing method in his body was estimated to be very considerable at the end of the day, almost one-third of the active cultivation!
You must know that even the most diligent person cannot practice 24 hours a day.
People are flesh and blood, they need to eat, they need to sleep, and this time will inevitably be wasted.
But now, when he is not actively cultivating, the breathing method that spontaneously runs in the body can still bring Roy a boost in his fighting spirit.
This meant that his already slow Dou Qi cultivation speed had further increased.
By the time Roy withdrew from his particular state of mind, a long time had passed.
The bonfire next to him has been added with new firewood several times, and the thick soup in the pot is still hot, but the soup base is much lighter.
Roy's eyes rolled and he found that not far away, Vivien, the witch of light, and Elena, the witch of illusions, were crouching in the corner, not knowing what they were doing, while Ace, the witch of ice, and Lilia, the witch of shadows, were sitting at the same table, drinking and chatting, and the relationship seemed to be much better.
Suddenly, a soft touch came from both temples.
"Young Master Roy, you're awake."
The soft voice of the healing witch Shanika reached Roy's ears, and she put her hands on the sides of Roy's head and gently massaged it.
"Shanika......" Roy tilted his head slightly, but did not see Shanica's face, but was obscured by the amazing ups and downs.
"You've been so tired lately." Shanika's gentle voice whispered, "I'll give you a massage." ”
"What time is it?" Roy asked.
"It's almost 10 p.m."
Hearing Shanica's reply, Roy closed his eyes and didn't speak again, but quietly enjoyed Shanica's massage.
The milky white shimmer gradually penetrated into Roy's body with the gentle rubbing of Shanica's fingers, soothing the subtle injuries of his body and the exhaustion of his spirit.
It took two minutes for the milky white glow to fade.
The "healing" was over, but Shanica's movements in her hands did not stop, and she still gently pressed Roy's motions, her fingers moving from her temples to the top of her head.
Ten minutes later, Roy reached out and pressed Shanica's soft, signaling that she didn't have to press it anymore.
Standing up from the recliner, Roy stretched.
The breakthrough in the breathing method, coupled with Shanica's meticulous "healing" massage, has brought his whole state to an unprecedented peak.
Staring at the crimson moon above the sky, Roy's eyes gradually deepened.
……
On the eve of the night of Pungyang, there are only two hours left before the arrival of the Pungyang Festival.
To the north of the Blackstone Domain, a group of knights galloped on horseback.
The number of knights was not large, only three, but the horses under their crotches were all half-breed war horses with one-horned heads and four hooves and red hair, and they were like flames flying over the earth.
The ornate and sturdy pale gold armor was worn on the bodies of the three knights, and the armor on the leading knight was darker, almost like bright gold.
The three knights galloped in a zigzag shape, and their destination was in the direction of the Star Lake of the Black Stone Collar.
What they didn't notice was that hundreds of meters in the air, two shadow crows hidden in the night were silently watching them.
……
Blackstone Collar, Grand Square.
The corner of Lilia's eyebrows, the shadow witch who was quietly drinking, moved slightly, she put down the wine glass in her hand, and the magic power flowed all over her body, expelling the residual alcohol from her body, and the whole person instantly became extremely energetic.
Lilia's actions caught the attention of Ace, the Ice Witch opposite her.
With a slight movement in her heart, Ace immediately guessed the possible reason why Lilia did this.
However, unlike Lilia, her physique is much stronger than Lilia, and she is no longer anesthetized by the alcohol contained in beer, although it is drinking, it is no different from juice to her.
"Lord Roy."
One step out, in less than a second, he came to Roy's side, and the shadow witch Lilia said with a serious face: "Ah Er, Ah San, they have sent information that a team of three pale gold armored knights has rushed into the range of the Black Stone Collar and galloped towards the direction of the Star Lake. ”
"Oh?" Roy nodded calmly: "Let's go, let's go back to the Lord's Mansion first." ”
"I've already explained it to Red, and he can preside over the celebration here."
While Roy was talking to Lilia, the shadow witch, the rest of the witches spontaneously approached.
Roy swept over Ace the Ice Witch, Lilia the Shadow Witch, Shanica, the Healing Witch, Vivien, and Elena the Phantom Witch, and said in a deep voice, "The battle is about to begin." ”
"Let's go!"
……
Soon, Roy and his party returned to the hidden place of the lord's mansion
Lilia, the Shadow Witch, raised her hand a little in front of her, and the shadow magic flowed out, forming a black and white projection, while Vivien, the Witch of Light, raised her hand to form a stable light source, making the room as bright as day, so that everyone could clearly see the picture on the black and white projection.
There are three black-and-white projections, two of which are the pictures of Ah Er and Ah San chasing the ground and running on the ground, while the third is the scene seen by Ah Da hovering over the Star Lake.
The Star Lake was still peaceful, but the Golden Two-Star Knight, Bloody Fortress Robert, who was originally standing in the shadows, seemed to sense something, stepped out of the shadows, and stood on the shore of the Star Lake with a mace.
The night breeze blew, and the cloak with the Bauhinia Sword behind the red armor rattled, and the bloody fortress Robert stared in the direction of the three knights, his face cold and hard as a rock.
The black stone collar is not large, and the depth from north to south is only more than twenty kilometers, for the three golden armored knights riding the half-blood war horse, it only takes a few minutes to reach the outside of the Star Lake.
Bloody Fortress Robert's gaze seemed to penetrate the dense woods of nearly a hundred meters, and landed on the golden armored knight led by the three-person knight team, and his eyes gradually became solemn: "Golden three-star? Who are you! ”
The sound spread far away, startling a large number of birds in the distant woods.
The three knights rode into the dense forest and came to the shore of the Star Lake, where they confronted the Bloody Fortress Robert from a distance of thirty meters.
"Deputy Head of the Red Knights, Bloody Fortress, Robert, I've heard your name."
"Retreat."
"You can't be our opponent."
The golden-armored knight at the head wore a full-coverage helmet, making it difficult to see his face, and at the same time, his voice was a low, hoarse voice that had been specially treated to make it difficult to discern.
Obviously, he didn't want anyone to know who he really was.
"A rat finch who doesn't dare to reveal his true identity." Bloody Fortress Robert snorted coldly: "I am ordered by the Duke to guard the Star Lake, today, unless I die, you don't want to step into the Star Lake." ”
"Is it worth it to die here?" The Golden Armored Knight at the head sighed: "You should know that there is a huge gap between the two-star and the three-star gold. ”
"I know." Bloody Fortress Robert's tone was very cold: "I am not your opponent, but I try my best to burn everything out, and I can always stop you for a while." ”
"I have sent a signal for help to Lord Duke."
"You'd better retreat quickly, or what awaits you will be doomed."
In the face of Bloody Fortress Robert's stern warning, the Golden Armored Knight only shook his head slightly: "It seems that you still don't understand the real situation......"
"Do you really think that the Duke of the Frontier didn't know about our arrival?"
"Since you know what we're brought, but you are only sent here to guard it, don't you still understand the key?"
"Your Lord Duke has long regarded you as an outcast......"
"Abandoned Son......" Bloody Fortress Robert's heart shook slightly.
The secret under the Star Lake is a top secret to ordinary knights and even ordinary nobles, but it is not a secret to them who have reached the golden rank.
Before leaving, Robert had doubts in his mind.
It is true that his strength of the Golden Two Stars is also a master under the Duke, but it is by no means the top, and it is really unreasonable to send him here alone when it comes to such a big matter as Star Lake.
Now that he is pointed out by the Golden Armor Knight, it has a great impact on his mind.
Soon, however, Robert calmed down, and his face grew colder.
In any case, as a knight under the Duke's command, he received an order to guard the Star Lake and not let anyone enter.
No matter what the secret behind this incident is, it is not something he needs to care about, he just needs to act on orders.
The more awe-inspiring aura on Bloody Fortress Robert made the Golden Armored Knight sigh: "Your upright character will only harm you." ”
"Since you don't believe it, let's wait and see if the 'reinforcements' in your mouth will arrive, anyway, there are still two hours before the arrival of the Fengyang Festival."
"I'm going to let you die completely."
When the words fell, the golden armored knight said no more, and the two sides confronted each other thirty meters apart, and the scene became calm little by little.
Bloody Fortress Robert was expressionless, but his hands holding the mace tightened subconsciously.
He knew the reason why the other party was reluctant to do it.
It is true that the golden three-star has an overwhelming advantage in the face of the golden two-star, but once the latter decides to work hard, it is also possible to hurt the former.
After observing this time of conversation, Bloody Fortress Robert had already sensed that although the fighting qi fluctuations on the Golden Armored Knight on the opposite side had reached three golden stars, it had only just broken through for a short time.
In the face of the desperate fight of a knight like him who went to the depths of the golden two-star, the result of the battle was most likely to be that the knight in golden armor was seriously injured, and Robert himself was killed.
Knowing that he had an advantage, the Golden Armored Knight was naturally reluctant to be injured.
The Golden Armor Knight was waiting, waiting for Robert to recognize the reality and take the initiative to retreat.
Bloody Fortress Robert knew what the Golden Armored Knight was planning, but he was also waiting.
If there are really no reinforcements......
……
Inside the Mansion of the Blackstone Lords.
The black-and-white projections transmitted by the three shadow crows reflected the scene on the shores of the Star Lake from different angles.
"These three knights are all of the golden rank, and Ah Da and they feel extremely heavy pressure from the three of them."
Lilia, the Shadow Witch, said in a quiet voice.
Roy looked at the black and white projection in front of him, watching the two sides inside start to confront each other, he didn't mean to make a move for a while, he thought for a long time, and finally spoke: "Miss Ace, please go to the Star Lake to investigate, determine the specific strength of these three knights, and at the same time, see if there are any hidden masters around the Star Lake." ”
"Be sure to stay safe."
"Don't worry." Ice Witch Ace nodded slightly, and the next moment, her body disappeared directly, entering the "Crown Elementalization" form, and flew towards the Star Lake.
