“...... When it comes to the Great Knight Rank, we have to start before the Knight occupies the top position of the martial arts class in the World Realm. The initial direction of the development of individual force was physical and combat skills. The former is born for the battlefield, when the organization of the army is not very strict, personal quality has become the main factor to measure combat effectiveness, the stronger the personal physical fitness, the more can reflect the advantage in the chaotic battlefield, and the combat effectiveness provided by combat skills in the battlefield is obviously not as obvious as physical fitness, so these only master rough combat skills rely on strength, Those who are fast on the battlefield are called Kugo, which translates to roaring beasts, while those who practice martial arts alone and rely on skill to defeat their enemies, such as those who are generally engaged in exploration, mercenary and other tasks that may lead to skirmishes, in which flexible combat skills are more advantageous. ”

Speaking of this, Salorath picked up the cup, took a sip, and continued: "But with the passage of time, under the urging of the eternal theme of war, the reform of the military system of various countries has always continued, and the increasingly strict army organization model has made it more and more difficult for the traditional Kuguo to play a big role in the war, and the countries urgently need a new killing weapon to replace the Kuguo, which has prompted the birth of knights.

For knights, you should know very well that the body and martial arts are indispensable, flexible and applicable to various battlefield modes, high discipline, high lethality, and high mobility make knights the darlings of the battlefield, and then knights, as the ultimate force at that time, not only became a symbol of strength, but also created a class in the world. It's knightly rank. ”

Salorath's gaze turned to Gehr's eyes, and Gehr felt only a slight tingling in front of him. But he still looked at the sharp princess without showing weakness.

"But the pace of human pursuit of strength will not stop, and the strength of knights naturally has its limits. This is due to the inevitable limitations of flesh and blood, and birth, old age, sickness and death are natural and irreversible. Since it was flesh and blood that became a constraint to prevent continued strength, it was abandoned and an experiment began. ”

Salorath retracted her gaze, leaned her upper body on the back of the chair casually, and her left leg was elegantly cocked on her right thigh, exposing a large piece of snow-white skin like frost in front of Gehr: "At that time, what could compete with the knight system was the ancient alchemy system that had been handed down since ancient times, which was different from the current alchemy skin that was actually chemical and physical. It is a powerful ability to freely transform the composition and shape of matter, and chemistry and physics are now separated from its basic principles.

Since ancient times, alchemy has had the idea that if you can convert flesh and blood into other substances, such as stone, steel, or even elements, then you can attain eternal life?

Of course, this experiment has never been interrupted, but it has never been successful, but when a crazy knight puts the hope of becoming stronger on this experiment, something that is enough to change the world world happens.

After decades of exploration and experimentation. A way to combine knighthood and alchemy has been found, and that is the alchemy magic pattern technique, which is also a unique sign of becoming a great knight. ”

"Alchemy Pattern?" Gor, remembering the noun he had seen in the organization's materials.

"The Alchemy Demon Pattern is a simplified version of the Alchemy Array, built directly on the human body. to change the flesh and blood nature of the human body, and cross the limits of the original bondage. ”

"Is there really a transformed immortal?" asked Gehr.

"Of course not. Salorath shook her head and smiled, "If you can do it, then you are a god, but it is true that you will live longer." The limit of the life span of the recorded Grand Knight is now more than 300 years, but he only began to age in the last 50 years of his life. I have always maintained the appearance of being in my twenties and thirties. ”

"And now, why haven't you heard of a great knight surviving?" Geer was puzzled, such a powerful rank was not heard from Lu now. According to the records in the organizational materials, although there were not many great knights hundreds of years ago, they were not so small that they cherished movement.

"The Grand Knight is not so easy to step into. First of all, it takes a master who is proficient in ancient alchemy to specially design a set of alchemy magic patterns, but now for unknown reasons, it is almost impossible to find anyone who is proficient in ancient alchemy......"

"Can't it be universal?"

"Generally speaking, no, everyone's physical condition and talent are different, and if you use it indiscriminately, it is likely to lead to incompatibility, which will directly cause the death of the user. There are also some alchemy patterns that are universal, but this kind of general alchemy pattern has greater requirements for the user's body than the special alchemy pattern, but the actual effect is far less than the special alchemy pattern. ”

Salorath stretched out her left hand and placed it in front of Gehr, and lifted up the sleeve of the light yarn, revealing her arms that were whiter and smoother than those of the maiden.

Gehr scanned it carefully, and there was nothing special except that the strength of the muscle fibers was far beyond that of ordinary people.

"Look closely. ”

Suddenly, Saloras's left hand and part of her wrist gradually turned black and gray at a speed visible to the naked eye, and at this time, Saloras picked up a dinner knife and stabbed it fiercely at the black and gray part, and there was a sound of gold and iron clashing, and the dinner knife was broken!

Gehr's heart was surprised, and the result of the scan turned out that the gray-black flesh had transformed into a form of composition in an instant, and directly turned into real steel.

"This is the universal alchemy pattern I use, the Iron Demon Pattern, and its ability is to make some flesh and bones steel. ”

Salorath exhaled softly, and her left hand turned white and tender like a young girl.

"Now I'm talking about the second requirement for using the alchemy pattern, which is that the pattern must be engraved on the bone, and only the part that is engraved can obtain special abilities. ”

"Bones?" said Gehr frowned, his mind already having a not-so-good idea.

"You're right, if you want to imprint it on the bones, you have to cut the flesh and blood, and then transplant the alchemy demon pattern, not only need to bear great pain, but also have a great burden on the user, this is the biggest difficulty, except for the knight peak who raises the body to the extreme, no one can bear it. I can only withstand the Magic Pattern Transplant in my left hand, and I can't bear it any more, I really want to see how powerful those great knights who have completed the complete Magic Pattern Transplant are......" Salorath's eyes showed a rare look of yearning.

"Remember, a person can only have one set of patterns, like I transplanted the Iron Pattern, and I can't transplant other patterns, so the choice is important. ”

Gehr nodded approvingly, feeling a little grateful for the fact that Salorath had been able to tell him so much about it.

"Alright, these materials are available in the Royal Vault, you can check them slowly in the future, now let's talk about those Silver Radiance Iron Guards. Salorath took her hand back. "They were originally death row prisoners, and they were selected to carry out the simplified alchemy magic pattern surgery, which is the latest research result of the Iron Brotherhood, which is based on the simple magic pattern converted from the steel magic pattern, which can effectively improve people's physical strength and reduce the pain to less than 20%, and the difficulty of the operation is not high, but the disadvantage is that the feelings and intelligence of the surgeon will be greatly reduced, and the life span is not long, and the success rate of the operation is too low, at most three out of a hundred can only be successful, so now only death row prisoners are used for surgery. ”

Gehr looked at the silverglow guard standing still at the entrance of the palace, and then realized what kind of monster he was leading.

This army of monsters is a new joining force for the power of the eldest princess's line. The hundred-strong guards are the living dead, who have been reformed and are quasi-knights, and they have no emotions and are loyal only to Saloras and Gehr, whom she has empowered.

"You are Fayellino's favorite general, so I won't hide it from you, now my situation is very bad, Haysting's people can't be trusted, some things can only rely on you, so if something happens in the palace, you can let it go. Salorath sighed, "When the time comes, the safety of the palace will depend on you." Celestia's face showed a rare hint of exhaustion and sorrow.

"I see. Gehr nodded. (To be continued......)
