He promised to become a knight, but what the heck is Astartes?

Chapter 65: The combat skills are awesome! (Please read on, please vote, thank you meow!!!)

It was already past midnight when Rorschach led Olaf out of the subway gates of Night Owl Market.

The biting wind blew Rorschach's trench coat. To Olaf's surprise, Rorschach put the Storm Greatsword behind him into his system space, and in its place, he had a Blood Pact in his hand.

That was Olaf's blood pact. Only by mastering this blood pact could Olaf's family members who shared the same life origin be sensed.

"As my warrior, let this thing burn."

As Rorschach spoke, a burst of intense flame suddenly appeared in his hand, instantly incinerating the blood pact binding Olaf.

"Thank you, Master."

After seeing the blood pact burned, Olaf suddenly felt as if some kind of shackle on his body had been broken.

Its life magnetic field suddenly rippled slightly, and it actually broke through to the ninetyth level!

At this moment, Olaf seemed to have truly ushered in a new life.

"Rent a quiet, independent place in the southern part of Adelaide, buy some good wine and meat, and recuperate for a couple of days. Of course, you can also go home to visit if you want."

"Most importantly, do not show up in public without my orders."

Rorschach pulled out a magic crystal card worth one thousand gold pounds and tossed it to Olaf behind him, giving him the same warning.

After all, it probably won't be long before the events of tonight's Night Owl Arena are on the tables of the major powers in Adelaide City.

The emergence of regenerative gel is an absolute game-changer for the world.

So recently, Khorne and Olaf have undoubtedly been the headlines throughout Adelaide.

After all, who wouldn't want a chance to be 'reborn' after being cut in half and reduced to 2.5 Satoru?

This is why Rorschach is currently cooperating with Ilya; otherwise, she wouldn't have let such a big matter pass so easily.

"Master, then you..."

Olaf wasn't a truly mindless berserker; he naturally understood what Rorschach meant.

After all, even he himself was incredibly shocked by the effects of the 'regenerating gel'.

Even now that he has finished repairing his body, Olaf can still feel something in the gel spray subtly improving him.

"Me? Of course I'm going to school."

Luo Xia waved his hand and slowly walked towards the War Knight Academy.

"By the way, if you encounter any problems you can't solve, come find me at the War Knight Academy."

"As ordered!"

Olaf slung his double-bladed axes behind his back, performed a knightly salute to Rorschach's retreating figure, and then quickly disappeared into the shadows at the street corner.

"Hey, I even gained a follower while I was out. Looks like I'm not far from forming my own legion."

Rorschach turned into a corner alley and reappeared in his red War Knight cadet uniform.

"Ha, another exciting day!"

Looking at the slowly rising morning light in the distance, Luo Xia stretched and walked towards the War Knight Academy.

……

With the two-day holiday over, it was time for War Knight Academy to start its classes again.

As half a month passed, almost everyone in the entire Sixth Attendant Class had entered the life cycle, and there were even a few knight attendants at the tenth level.

Therefore, in order to help students practice better, Sister Gwen began explaining the theory of deep breathing techniques and the resonance of the life spark today.

However, at this moment, most of the students in the class were clearly not paying attention, and most of them were secretly looking at the back row by the window.

There stood Rorschach, the most prominent figure at the War Knights Academy.

At this moment, Luo Xia was resting his chin on one hand, listening very attentively to the lecture, but in reality, he was slowly activating the "Fire Serpent Breathing Technique" within his body.

With a physical constitution and mental strength of 5.0, Luo Xia's life force cycle had been completely stabilized at the eighty-fourth level.

"Six more levels and I'll be able to use the Life Dragon Blood."

Luo Xia thought to himself that the bottle of perfect-grade 'Life Dragon Blood', as the reward for winning the GPA competition, was incredibly precious.

It is said that its market value has far exceeded 10,000 gold pieces!

But that's normal, after all, this is perfect-grade dragon blood.

According to Cliff, if Rorschach takes it when he reaches the 90th level of the Life Cycle, it will directly elevate his life force to the level of a quasi-knight.

Furthermore, due to the dragon blood, one can further enhance their extraordinary spiritual power.

Furthermore, because Rorschach's extraordinary spirit is a fire serpent, it can bring even greater enhancements!

"If I can become a quasi-knight, my strength will increase explosively. With Khorne's skills, I won't be afraid of even a super knight."

Luo Xia's gaze swept over the bloody mark on his wrist, and at this moment, his heart was filled with confidence that he could overcome the strong with the weak.

【Mark of Khorne (Beginner)】: The great Chaos God Khorne's valiant reward to you, making you more ferocious and bloodthirsty in battle! When worn, your strength and constitution will be increased by 10%, and when you are injured, you will enter different levels of 'Bloodlust' depending on the severity of the injury, comprehensively enhancing your combat power.

"This is simply a divine combat skill!"

Luo Xia sighed inwardly, finally managing to get some gold after suffering for so long.

That concludes today's theory lesson.

As the pleasant school bell rang, Gwen closed her lecture notes, her pale purple eyes sweeping across the class before finally settling on Rorschach.

"Luo Xia, pack your things and come out with me."

Gwen's cool voice rang in Rorschach's ears.

The classroom fell silent instantly, and everyone's eyes turned to Luo Xia, their expressions filled with awe.

"Find me?"

Rorschach also came to his senses, let go of his hand that was supporting his chin, and then, under the curious gazes of Anthony and the others, stood up and followed Gwen out of the classroom.

In the classroom corridor, the north wind blew against the hem of Gwen's long War Church nun's robe as she quietly looked at Rorschach, her heart filled with complex emotions.

Seeing this, Rorschach jokingly said:

"Did the nun call me out alone to pay up the reward she hadn't given me for the bet we made earlier?"

"Those...those are all..."

Gwen blushed slightly upon hearing this, unable to speak, then glared at Rorschach before saying seriously:

"The dean wants to see you this time."

"It's the Dean, Vice Dean Lance, and the bishop's envoy from the Church of War stationed in Adelaide."

"They are already waiting for you in the top-floor conference room of the central spire."

The Dean and the War Church's Special Envoy?

Upon hearing this, Luo Xia's heart stirred.

They've finally arrived. Otherwise, he would have thought that a genius like himself wouldn't be worthy of the Church of War's attention.

"Sister, what do they want with me? Did they discover my faith in the God of War isn't absolute?"

Even though he knew who she was from, Rorschach still looked at Gwen with a worried expression, as if he was afraid that his little secret would be discovered.

"real or fake?"

Upon hearing this, Gwen suddenly narrowed her eyes, scrutinized Rorschach, and seeing that he was joking, playfully punched him in the chest, laughing and scolding:

"Don't joke around. If you don't believe in the God of War, then we are..."

As she spoke, Gwen suddenly paused. Looking at Rorschach's youthful and handsome face, she realized that she had started to let her mind wander again.

What will happen to us?

Upon hearing this, Rorschach smiled and asked, trying to force Gwen to say what she hadn't finished saying.

But Gwen didn't give Rorschach that chance, and led the way directly toward the towering spire in the very center of the academy.

"It's nothing! Let's go quickly! Don't keep the dean and the others waiting."

Chapter 66 The War Church's A-Rank Contract (Please read on, please vote, thank you meow!!!)

The War Spire is the tallest building in Adelaide. There are eight of them in the entire North, each located at the center of one of the eight War Knight Academies in the North.

Its interior is filled with various advanced training rooms, resource libraries, and book collections.

Those who can enter the War Spire for training are all true knights and hold a certain position within the Church of War.

"Don't say anything when we go inside."

Gwen stopped in front of the two oak doors inlaid with brass battle axe emblems, turned around and reached out to straighten Rorschach's slightly disheveled collar, then said in a cautionary tone:

"The special envoy represents the highest will of the Church of War, and the Dean usually secluded himself in the abyss rift at the bottom of the spire. He is making an exception for you today, so you should be mindful of your image and leave a good impression on them."

"clear."

Rorschach nodded, now understanding the extent to which the Church of War valued him.

Gwen knocked and then opened the door.

The scene inside the conference room was immediately displayed in Luo Xia's eyes.

The conference room was extremely spacious, with a huge brass chandelier hanging from the dome.

Under the chandelier was a brass table, surrounded by brass chairs.

At this moment, three people are sitting in the three brass chairs.

One of them was Abrams, the vice-dean whom Rorschach had met.

In the very center stood an elderly man with gray hair and a withered face. He wore a gray-white robe and his eyes were closed. An invisible aura emanated from him.

Next to the old man sat a middle-aged man, who was wearing a dark red heavy full suit of armor. His helmet was on the table, revealing a rather weathered face.

When Luo Xia entered the conference room, the middle-aged man stared at Luo Xia and sized him up.

boom!

Suddenly, a violent life magnetic field pressed down on Luo Xia without warning.
