Chapter 6 Knight's Journey, Spiritual Blessing

This world has many extraordinary paths.

The Knight is undoubtedly the most popular and equally powerful one among them.

From day-to-day training, becoming an apprentice knight, and then starting to practice the knight's breathing method, it is equivalent to embarking on this path.

It can be said that as long as you are willing to work hard, everyone has a chance.

From the beginning to the end, the knight's training stages are divided into apprentice knight, formal knight, bronze knight, silver knight, gold knight, sky knight, sanctuary knight, and legendary knight.

Excluding the apprentice knights who have no requirements, the seven stages are the knight's journey.

It’s just that in the early stages, there was no absolute gap between the knights. For example, the official knights could not compare with the bronze knights in terms of strength, speed and physique. But for some talented people, such a gap could be made up.

In addition, the difference in breathing methods also brings about subtle differences in basic attributes. Some people are born with strong physiques, so after becoming a knight, they will naturally be stronger than others.

Of course, the further back in time goes, the more difficult it will be to make up for this gap.

There are many legends about Golden Knights defeating Sky Knights, but there has never been a single legend about Sky Knights defeating Sanctuary Knights.

"What a powerful force."

Ryan looked at the dead giant deer and felt that he could crush it with the strength of one hand.

And... Ryan looked at the spiritual panel.

【Spirituality: 27】

[Divinity: Blessing of the Deer Spirit]

"Blessing from the deer spirit?"

Ryan woke up and saw that the villagers around him were looking at him in shock, especially the old people, who were very excited.

"Lu Ling, Lu Ling is still alive. Lu Ling has not fallen."

"Our faith...still exists."

After saying that, the group of people knelt down towards Ryan.

Ryan looked at Brand. Indeed, the young man in front of him was the one most likely to be blessed by the Deer Spirit. He felt the closeness of the other party to himself in the previous moment.

To be precise, it is the closeness with the deer spirit.

However, the deer spirit, which only had a trace of divinity left, no longer had the power to bless Brand.

"You want to obtain the blessing of the deer spirit?"

"Yes, only with the blessing of the deer spirit can I embark on the journey of transcendence. Only in this way can I lead my people to survive in the harsh winter."

Brand looked at Ryan with anticipation in his eyes.

"The deer spirit no longer has the power to bless you. You should be aware of this."

Ryan's voice silenced Brand, but the next moment, Ryan's voice made his eyes burn with blazing light.

"The deer spirit couldn't bless you, but now, I can."

After saying that, Ryan looked at the hundreds of people surrounding him and said:
"From now on, I will be able to bless you. At the same time, I will be able to take you away from this land of ice and snow and live in a place that is... a little warmer."

"As you wish, I am a noble, so are you willing to become my subjects?"

As soon as Ryan finished speaking, the old men around him prostrated themselves, cheering.

"The people of Exnel will be loyal to you forever!"

The moment he came into contact with the deer spirit, Ryan felt the noble qualities of these people.

loyalty.

The people under the protection of the Deer Spirit are brave and good at fighting, and they are also loyal to what they protect.

The moment everyone swore allegiance to Ryan and became his people, Ryan's spiritual growth reached a peak.

【Spirituality: 488】

The 461 villagers in this village brought him a high amount of spirituality. Ryan looked at Brand again, "Are you willing to be my guardian knight?"

The young man knelt on one knee, his eyes determined.

"Brand, I pledge my loyalty to you."

【Spirituality: 498】

The spiritual power provided was ten times that of others, and Ryan was extremely serious at this moment, pressing his palm on Brand's brow.

In an instant, the hundred spirits disappeared, and instead, a small deer spirit sank into Brand's brow.

With the blessing of the deer spirit, Brand's strength increased significantly. It was visible to the naked eye that his aura was almost the same as Ryan's.

The blessing from the deer spirit gave him the power of a formal knight, which made the young men around him look extremely fanatical.

The look he gave Ryan was even more respectful than before.

"Stag Knight Breathing Technique."

There was a gleam in Brand's eyes, and when Ryan looked at Brand again, he instinctively detected some words.

[Physical Fitness Gain] [Breathing Technique Training Gain]

[brave][fearless][loyal][passionate][noble][leader]

The blessings from the deer spirits are all the same, but what one gets from the blessings depends entirely on the individual.

The physical fitness gains and breathing method gains should be the enhancements to the Stag Knight's breathing method brought by the Deer Spirit's blessing, which can allow Brand to gain more attributes during breakthroughs and training.

But the heroic and fearless words that follow, which represent virtue, are entirely due to Brand himself.

Ryan believed that for such a person to receive the blessing of the Deer Spirit was icing on the cake rather than timely assistance. Of course, in this environment, Ryan's arrival must be regarded as the latter.

If the other people around him only gave Ryan civilians, craftsmen and soldiers, then Brand was a hero unit for him.

Under Brand's leadership, the soldiers are fearless of any war, and the people in the territory are filled with positive confidence when they see that such a knight also belongs to the lord.

And for Ryan, the most important thing is the word loyalty.

[Loyalty] does not simply refer to Brand's loyalty to Ryan. This is not a statistic, but a virtue.

He is loyal to his patron, loyal to his own heart, loyal to the lord he serves, loyal to his words and deeds, and loyal to the duties entrusted to him.

For example, it is impossible for Ryan to let Brand do something that goes against his inner feelings.

At this moment, Ryan was even more excited than the butler, Old Beard, but he suppressed his emotions and looked at the circle of expectant eyes around him.

"Will you become my squire knights?"

"I will serve you faithfully."

Young or middle-aged men knelt down one by one, while their wives or mothers watched this scene expectantly from a distance.

Taking a look at his own spirituality, Brand provided ten times more spirituality than others. Similarly, the blessings he gave also needed ten times more.

In other words, to bless others, each person only needs ten points of spirituality.

There are still 398 spiritual powers left. Ryan looked at the expectations of hundreds of people around him, hesitated, and looked at Brand.

"There are only thirty places available, Brand, do you have any good suggestions?"

"Do your will."

Brand stepped forward, and as a formal knight, he selected thirty people from hundreds of people.

Ryan gave the other party his trust, and three hundred spiritual powers were released. In just a moment, he had thirty more apprentice knights.

Ryan could feel the effects of physical fitness and breathing method improvements on these people.

And although it looks much worse than Brand, it still has the attributes of [Loyalty] and [Passion].

"This is equivalent to enchantment, but the object of enchantment... is a human."
