Being a knight is not easy

Chapter 369

The moment Chamberlain's gaze fell upon the contents of the box, it was as if he had been struck by an invisible giant hammer!

His pupils suddenly contracted to their maximum size! His breath caught in his throat for a moment, and his heart skipped a beat!
For the first time, an undisguised look of extreme shock and longing appeared on that weathered face that had seen countless treasures on the battlefield without ever being moved!
This needs absolutely no introduction!

"This...this is...the Power Fruit?! And a legendary one at that?!" Chamberlain's voice trembled noticeably, dry as if it were being rubbed on sandpaper.

This legendary sacred object, this strategic resource capable of changing the course of the kingdom, has appeared before our eyes in such a shocking way!

Two still!

One late-stage one!
One initial dose!
This is simply a dream!

His hand, which was resting on the table, clenched into a fist unconsciously. His knuckles turned white instantly from the excessive force, and a faint grinding sound could even be heard.

The immense impact caused him to involuntarily lean forward slightly, as if wanting to get closer to feel the vast power contained in the two fruits, but he forcefully restrained this impulse.

Feng Ling did not withdraw her hand; her fingertips remained lightly touching the edge of the open wooden box, her face expressionless.

She ignored Chamberlain's loss of composure and calmly focused her gaze on the bronze-colored early-stage fruit that exuded a fierce and domineering aura.

He seemed to completely ignore the late-stage Black Mystic Fruit next to him, a fruit that could drive any knight mad.

“Sir Chamberlain.” The wind chimes’ voice was clear and steady, like ice and jade striking each other, devoid of any emotion, directly interrupting Chamberlain’s lost gaze. “Robin needs you to process this immediately.”

"Immediately?" Chamberlain looked up abruptly, his shock instantly replaced by a great sense of responsibility and a hint of disbelief.

The power contained in this early fruit is enough to transform him, allowing him to cross the threshold that has blocked him for many years and become a true legendary knight!
But this power is immense and violent, and digesting it immediately would mean enormous risks!
This requires absolute focus and dedication! It also consumes a great deal of time!
As if understanding the meaning behind the hesitation and shock in his eyes, Feng Ling's lips curved into an extremely subtle, almost imperceptible smile—not a smile, but more like a domineering gaze of someone in control: "You only need to bear the impact and risks of the 'breakthrough' itself. As for the energy..."

Feng Ling's fair and slender fingers gently tapped the empty space next to the copper-red fruit.

A mysterious aura instantly emanated from her fingertips!
The space inside the wooden box seemed to suddenly twist and compress!
The immense and domineering energy torrent unleashed by that bronze-colored legendary early-stage power fruit was actually locked, regulated, and guided by an invisible, extremely precise force of order! The raging energy flow instantly became tamed, like a gentle stream, and began to trickle and flow throughout the entire tent!
This is not "preparing" to digest at all!
Wind Chime used her newly promoted second-ring Order Wizard power to directly create a perfect energy field!

A safe "breakthrough barrier" tailor-made for Chamberlain, powerful enough to withstand the impact of legendary power!
Her movements were fluid and precise, like the most skilled craftsman handling the most intricate parts!
Chamberlain was completely stunned by this incredible skill!
Wind Chime's control over magic has reached a level that he cannot comprehend at all!

This was even more terrifying to him than seeing the Power Fruit itself!
He instantly understood what Fengling meant—she would take on the bulk of the risk, while he could focus on breaking through his own barriers!

“I…” Chamberlain’s throat bobbed, and his loss of composure and hesitation were instantly replaced by a resolute conviction!

Lord Robin needs strength! She needs powerful arms to withstand the monstrous waves to come!

This opportunity is a godsend!

Without further hesitation, he stood up abruptly!

A powerful, forceful punch to the left chest, right side of the heart! A perfect knightly salute!
"I will not fail your trust, sir! I will not fail your efforts, madam!" Without uttering any unnecessary words, he sat cross-legged at the core of the energy field that the wind chimes had guided for him, and closed his eyes! That loyalty was like a blazing fire, instantly burning away all distracting thoughts!

His mind sank completely into his body, mobilizing the life force that had accumulated throughout his body over many years. Like a sleeping dragon, he began to actively welcome the legendary torrent that was about to descend, tamed by the wind chimes!

Get ready to embrace the breakthrough you've been waiting for all your life!
Feng Ling nodded slightly, no longer looking at him. Her hands formed a mudra in front of her, her mental power highly concentrated, like the most stable central processor, precisely maintaining and regulating the balance and guidance of the entire energy field.

The tent was instantly filled with a concentrated yet gentle, yet vast and boundless energy!

Alina watched silently from the side.

When she saw how skillfully and powerfully the wind chimes guided the legendary power to create this safe breakthrough field, her slightly furrowed brows completely relaxed, and a complex light, filled with sincere respect and emotion, flickered in her eyes.

She leaned back gently in her chair, her body relaxing, and a faint, warm smile even appeared on her tense expression.

Seeing her fiancé Robin's old subordinate about to reach the peak of power, and breaking through under the protection of such a reliable "master's wife", the wariness and sourness she felt towards Fengling were replaced by a deeper sense of recognition and peace of mind.

As for the other power fruit, Wind Chime didn't say anything, but Alina understood that it was meant for her.

After Chamberlain refines it, it will be her turn to refine the Power Fruit, a late-stage legendary power fruit. With her current strength, it's uncertain whether she can break through to the peak legendary knight level in one go.

Alina's gaze shifted from Chamberlain, who was closing his eyes and whose aura was rising steadily, and silently fell on another fruit in the wooden box.

Legendary late game!

The wind chime didn't say anything, and she didn't ask.

Everything was understood in our hearts.

After Chamberlain successfully refined it, it was her turn.

This legendary artifact from its later stages represents a desperate gamble of trust from Robin! It's also a brutal challenge to her own limits!
Alina took a deep breath, her chest heaving, to suppress the immense pressure from the fruit itself.

A burning light ignited in her eyes—a thirst for power and unwavering support for Robin's goals!
"Peak Legendary Knight..."

If she could truly refine this legendary power fruit, the thought of a peak legendary knight made Alina tremble uncontrollably.

Currently, the entire Knights Guild lacks any top-tier legendary knights. If she succeeds, she might be able to return directly to compete for the position of guild leader.

It's even possible that Noltman will step down on his own, without any competition.
