Wizard Immortal

Chapter 18 (accessible)

In the early morning, the sunlight shines on the surrounding land.

In the familiar training ground, Adir stood alone, holding a training longsword in his hand.

Recently, due to various incidents occurring in different places, all the apprentice knights who were originally training in this area have been dispatched. Those who remain are either on other missions or are seriously injured. Therefore, apart from Adir, there is not a single person to be seen in the vast training ground.

There were originally some servants serving around him, but Adir didn't need them, so he had sent them away long ago.

Standing on the training field, Adir had just finished training and was covered in sweat, which soaked his clothes.

He stood there quietly, wiping his sweat with a piece of linen in his hand, and frowned as he felt the changes in his body.

"Sure enough, after activating the Seed of Life, the Knight's Breathing Technique became almost ineffective."

After testing the training results with the chip, Adil sighed somewhat helplessly.

The training of the Knight's Breathing Technique mainly targets the stimulation of the Life Seed. By continuously stimulating the body and the Life Seed, it aims to stimulate life energy and activate the Life Seed.

However, once the seed of life is successfully activated, the effect of this stimulation is greatly reduced, and it is basically ineffective.

Of course, with long-term training, there will be some results over time, but the speed is measured in years, which is so slow that it is unacceptable to Adir.

According to the chip's analysis of the body, even with the improved Di'er Breathing Method, it would still take at least a year to increase any attributes through training.

Thinking of this, he shook his head, feeling somewhat helpless, while a sense of doubt also arose in his heart.

"Since the Knight's Breathing Technique is no longer effective after becoming a knight, then how did those legendary, extremely powerful knights reach that level?"

Adir looked at his own attributes.

"Name: Adir Fakus. Strength: 3.8. Agility: 3.7. Constitution: 3.8."

Compared to before, the attributes are now undoubtedly much more impressive after activating the Seed of Life.

After activating the Seed of Life, the life energy stimulated within the body will gradually improve the knight's physique, resulting in a rapid improvement in the knight's physical attributes within a short period of time.

According to Adir's observation, this process is actually a process of adjusting the body structure. As the life seed is activated, life itself will undergo a change, and the body structure will become more perfect and undergo subtle optimization.

Once the body structure has been refined and optimized, this explosive growth in physical fitness will disappear, and because the body structure has become stronger, the effectiveness of subsequent training will also be reduced.

Adir had almost passed through this period of rapid growth, and from then on, his rate of enhancement would become as slow as that of other knights.

"There must be other ways."

With these thoughts flashing through his mind, Adir stood there for a moment, then put the training sword back on the weapon rack, walked off the training ground, and headed in one direction.

Inside the castle, Adir remembered there was a room specifically for storing books.

He was prepared to go in and try his luck, hoping to find some useful information.

They traveled a long way, and along the way, servants would occasionally bow respectfully to Adir, their faces filled with deep awe.

This is one of the results of the shift in status.

Since returning here, the news of Adir's promotion to knight has spread, and in a short period of time, almost everyone in the castle knows about it.

Knights held a high status in this era, symbolizing not only prestige but also immense power to protect and safeguard a region. Becoming a knight was the ultimate dream for almost every ordinary person in the world.

On the other hand, being promoted to knight means that Adir's status will be different from now on.

As a knight, one would be respected in any country, naturally enjoying the same status as nobles. In this world, even murder would not be prosecuted, naturally earning the awe of others.

Ignoring the stares, Adir remained calm and walked to a certain place.

It was a large room, with two guards standing at the door. They immediately became solemn when they saw Adir arrive.

"I want to go in; this is my credentials."

Adir took out a badge from his waist, engraved with his family crest, a testament to his nobility.

"My lord, you jest." Seeing Adir's actions, a guard said with a respectful expression, "With your status, you can certainly go in directly. As long as you don't take anything out of there, you can come over at any time."

Seeing him like this, Adir was taken aback, but didn't say anything, only nodded: "Thank you."

The door in front of him opened quickly, and Adir looked inside, quietly observing the furnishings.

There are many books here, many of which look very old, but they are well preserved, without a speck of dust, and it seems that someone comes to maintain them regularly.

This is normal. In this world, books are very precious, and only nobles would collect them. If this weren't Count Poria's castle, there wouldn't be so many books here.

Looking at the room, which resembled a small library, Adir walked forward and examined the books.

These books are clearly from different eras, and most of them appear to be rare handwritten copies. The materials used for recording them are varied, including animal hides, parchment, and rough straw paper.

Adir picked up a book at random, opened it, and began to read slowly.

This is a collection of poems that celebrates a massive war, something that seems to have happened in this region long ago.

Ninety-nine percent of the book's content consisted of nonsensical drivel and eulogies, which Adir considered to be mostly nonsense. The actual content was minimal, making up only a small portion of the entire book, leaving Adir speechless.

"The chip records the information from the book, removes redundant information, and transmits it directly."

After quickly flipping through the entire book, Adir calmly gave the order to the chip.

Before long, a large amount of information surfaced in Adir's mind, as if it had been memorized countless times and deeply engraved in his memory.

This is also one of the functions of the chip, which can help Adil quickly memorize and organize large amounts of information.

With the aid of the chip, Adir's reading speed became very fast.

He flipped through the books one by one as if turning pages, allowing the chip to record the information and transmit it directly to his mind.

Compared to normal reading and memorization, this method was undoubtedly much more efficient, allowing Adir to quickly scan one book after another.

After an unknown amount of time, Adir picked up a biography and his eyes lit up when he saw its contents.

This is the autobiography of a powerful knight from the past, recording his life and some secrets worth recording, all of which he wrote down in this biography.

Looking at the biography, Adir couldn't wait to read its contents.

···········

"...A knight is a title for a powerful individual who has activated the Seed of Life... To become a knight, one must possess the talent to activate the Seed of Life... Such talent is rare among commoners..."

"A knight's talents can be passed down to his descendants... therefore, it is often more common for talented individuals to emerge from noble families..."

···········

With the help of the chip, the contents of a book were quickly read and deeply memorized in Adir's mind.

In this biography, Adir did indeed find some of the answers.

"Knight, after activating the Seed of Life, the only way to continue progressing is through constant battles?"

Sensing the information in his mind, Adir muttered to himself in confusion.

This former knight seemed very powerful and knowledgeable. In his biography, he described all the characteristics of a knight, including the path after activating the Seed of Life and the power beyond that of a knight.

According to this knight, after activating the Seed of Life and advancing to the knight level, the knight's breathing technique becomes almost ineffective, and the only way to advance further is through continuous battles.

In intense, life-or-death battles, the knight's potential will be unleashed, gradually making the life energy in his body stronger, thereby driving the continued improvement of his physical qualities.

According to the book, the knight who wrote the autobiography had fought countless battles, and when he was around forty years old, he had already reached the limit of a knight and was about to reach the level of a great knight.

Unfortunately, the autobiography ends here, and the account of the Great Knight is not detailed.

bump!

Quietly closing the book, Adir put it back and pulled out the next one, hoping to find some more useful information.

Unfortunately, it seems that Adir's luck has run out. The books he can find next are either poems or miscellaneous notes, containing little of any useful information and mostly just endless nonsense.

I don't know how much time passed, but when it was almost noon, only half of the books remained unread.

This speed was achieved with the help of a chip, and if it were really revealed, it would definitely astound a lot of people.

Touching his slightly swollen and aching head with his right hand, Adir continued walking forward, picked up another book, and prepared to continue reading.

Adir spent the entire day there, continuing until he had read through all the books before leaving to go back and rest.

Despite the assistance of the chip in transmitting data, the influx of a large amount of information in a short period of time still made Adil feel somewhat uncomfortable, with a swollen and painful head.

He went back and rested for a while, and his condition gradually improved.
