As soon as Hawkins finished speaking, when Herman looked at him, no one hesitated, and Barron immediately said: "What else is there to consider, Herman, of course you are back to continue to be the captain." First of all, no matter where you go, I will go with you. ”

The other officers were surprised when they heard this, and they all said that they would rather be the head of the chicken than the queen of the ox, no matter how good the commander was to himself, he could not compare to himself as a commander, and no matter how low the position of the squad leader was, he could be regarded as an officer. They couldn't help but wonder what Herman had the charm that would make Barron give up his position and choose to be his younger brother under him.

Herman's heart was hot, and he smiled: "If you are not the captain, you will lose a thousand allowances every month, don't you feel pain." ”

Barron laughed: "If you mess around, you can still miss this salary." "In the two battles, only Barron and Moore have killed the high-level source knights among the low-level members of the entire brigade, and these two huge results are related to Herman, and it is Barron's absolute belief that it will not be bad to follow Herman.

"Okay, got it." Herman smiled and immediately looked at Hawkins, "Sir, I choose to stay in the eighth squad. ”

Hawkins was also very satisfied with this, and said with a smile: "Very good, you really want to leave, I can't get together for a while." From now on, you'll be the captain of Team 8 again, and I'll have the clerk report the appointment. ”

After reinstating Herman, Hawkins chatted with the crowd for a while before letting them go.

The two returned to the camp, and waited for everyone to disperse after watching the strange dispersion, and then Herman held the pearl of fire source and prepared to cultivate.

The Orb of Fire lay quietly in the palm of his hand, like the glass beads he had played with when he was a child in his previous life, but the warmth of the beads and the constant gathering of fire elements in the air showed that this bead was not an ordinary thing.

The reason why the name of the second stage of the knight system is called Source Knight is because in this stage, the Dou Qi cultivated by knights activates the ancestral bloodline contained in their bodies, endowing the Dou Qi with various abilities. For example, Hawkins, Morey's wind fighting spirit, Pilsen's earth fighting spirit, of course, although there are bloodlines like Herman that are directly inherited from the gods, they are particularly rare, and each of them is an incomparably powerful existence.

It is undeniable that blood is the source of strength, and people are born unequal with each other. But the source knight who does not have a strong bloodline in his body does not mean that there is no way to become stronger, just like an awakened person who does not contain a transcendent bloodline in his body can take a talent potion, as long as there is a pharmacist, a knight can also gain strength by swallowing the bloodline of a powerful transcendent creature, both of which are ways for ordinary people to become stronger. Of course, the strong can also swallow potions to become stronger.

Since the transcendent bloodline in the human body is very thin, if you want to go back to the origin and completely reproduce the extraordinary energy contained in the bloodline, you need to constantly swallow the transcendent things that contain the same kind of origin, continue to grow that trace of ancient bloodline, and finally reproduce the peerless style of the bloodline source.

Therefore, the Origin Object has a fatal attraction to knights, and this Spiritual Source Pearl is enough to drive all low-ranking officers crazy.

"Goddess, how is this bead?" Herman played with it and asked, "How much does it take to strengthen the bloodline in my body?" With his current savings, he can barely exchange it for about three.

The goddess sneered: "This is just the lowest level of elemental condensation, not even the most basic spiritual object, and it is also worthy of the name of the origin?" My authority is almost a rule, you should keep your contribution points and combat exploits to exchange for real spiritual objects, don't waste your savings on these low-level items. ”

"Uh, so he's completely useless to me?" Herman Lost Road.

The goddess said, "That's not. Your current rank is too low, and you can't absorb the high-level origin, this kind of item is just right for you, but there is no need to deliberately pursue it. What you really need to find is an item that contains the power of pure origin, and that is the nourishment that can grow the immortal fire. ”

"For example?" Herman pursued him relentlessly.

After being silent for a while, the goddess said, "For example, all kinds of innate alien fires, as well as the crystal nuclei of sanctuary-level fire-type demonic beasts. ”

"Uh......"

Herman just wanted to say that he was interrupted and took his leave.

Not to mention the incomparably violent, even the Sky Knight may be burned to ashes if he is not careful, and the Sanctuary-level fire-type demonic beast is even more exaggerated. Vortex Knight, Source Knight, Earth Knight, Sky Knight, Shield Bearer - that is more powerful than the Shield Keeper, with near-devastating power and an infinite lifespan. If you want to take its crystal nucleus, there is only one possibility to kill it.

Herman hadn't lived long enough to go for trouble with this horrific existence.

"I'd better look for other treasures." He said embarrassedly.

…………

"Hawkins can be trusted, and it's not in vain that I tried my best to help him." Herman was happy, but Grace's pretty face suddenly flashed in his mind, and his good mood instantly fell, and a sense of guilt welled up in his heart, as if he had done something wrong.

After being silent for a long time, he turned his palm and put away the pearl of the fire source, and went out to the next door.

The candles were still lit in the tent, and a slender figure was printed on the tarpaulin, and it was clear that Grace had not yet slept. Herman stood outside the tent in a dilemma, his feet not daring to take a step forward as if they had taken root, and he opened his mouth several times without making a sound.

(Alas, people can't do bad things.) ）

sighed, and was about to go in hard, when he heard Grace's indifferent voice coming out of it: "What are you doing outside, if you want to come in, lift the curtain, and leave quickly if you pass by." ”

Hearing this, Herman chuckled in his heart, and became even more uneasy.

Although Grace is usually cold, she is not indifferent to the members of the team, and she must know the truth of the matter now.

(It's ridiculous that I'm ready to confess, but I didn't expect others to know about it a long time ago.) ）

Herman took a deep breath and forced his composure: "Haven't you rested yet, I have something to look for you." After saying that, he entered with heavy steps after a while.

The beautiful woman in the tent sat upright, without the closeness of the past. didn't speak, just looked at him indifferently.

Faced with this situation, Herman was on pins and needles, and to be honest, he would rather fight with the high-level source knights than face Grace's cold eyes.

"I'm sorry."

After standing for a long time, Herman, who was at a loss, slowly forced out the word.

Grace sneered and said disdainfully, "Apologize? The captain didn't do anything wrong, why apologize! ”

Herman's face turned red, and he was even more embarrassed. But since he decided to apologize, he would not back down because of Grace's sarcasm, plucked up his courage, looked at her with sincere eyes, and said firmly: "I did something wrong, it was I who used your background to force the mentor in the wizard tower to take action to relieve the first squadron." Even though this was the squadron leader's request, I was the one who deceived you into using you, and I'm sorry for that. ”

His eyes were full of apologies, but he didn't ask Grace to forgive him, because this was the right of the other party, and no matter how Grace wanted to punish him, Herman was only qualified to accept it.

But the indifference in Grace's eyes couldn't help but melt a little, because she didn't expect Herman to be so direct and apologize sincerely without any evasion, which made Grace feel his sincerity, and the anger in her heart calmed down a lot.

But she was still very unhappy with Herman's move of using herself as a shield, and snorted coldly: "Listen to what you say, since I first joined the First Squadron, you and Hawkins have already had this plan." ”

Hearing this, Herman quickly explained: "Of course not. When I was stationed at Fallen Leaf Fort, the squadron leader told me to immediately abandon my personnel and supplies if I couldn't do anything, and I had to ensure your safety no matter what. I swear, I've been treating you with all my heart these months. ”

Grace's face turned red, inexplicably a little shy, and muttered: "Who knows if what you say is true or false, you can say this kind of thing casually." ”

Herman was anxious and said: "Of course I am sincere, I treat all team members equally and love them like brothers and sisters." If it weren't for that, I'd risk intercepting the Broken Arrow for Moore and confronting Thomas for Barron. ”

(That's what it means, you bastard.) Grace turned from red to blue, snorting coldly, not wanting to deal with him.

Seeing this, Herman hurriedly took out the Spirit Source Pearl rewarded by Hawkins, handed it over, and said: "This is Hawkins rewarding me for fighting bravely, but I know that the reason why I dare to go on a rampage on the battlefield is all because of you, and I know that the higher-ups will not let you fall into danger." So I have obtained so many battle exploits, and all my confidence comes from you, and you deserve this spiritual source pearl. Please take it - I don't expect you to forgive me for it, I just want to apologize. ”

With Grace's background, she naturally knew the value of this bead, and when she saw Herman hand it over without hesitation, the coldness in her eyes couldn't help but be swept away by surprise, and asked, "Since you know that this is the Spiritual Source Pearl, are you really willing to give it to me?" To be honest, I didn't have any of these things originally, but after I left home and became independent, everything was up to me, and I wouldn't be polite if you gave it to me, and you thought I'd forgive you if you gave me something extraordinary. ”

As he spoke, he snatched the pale red bead viciously.

Herman did not give up in the slightest, but breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "I know. ”

"Also, don't use me again in the future, otherwise we will break off our friendship and never see you again." Grace pouted.

Herman thought for a moment and solemnly promised, "Okay, I swear." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the goddess's disdainful ridicule came to his ears: "Hypocritical fool." ”

Herman watched Grace play with the Orb of the Spirit Source happily, ignoring the goddess's sarcasm, and laughed along.
