Chapter 1 Third-level Knight
New calendar year 3796, August.
West continent, north of Clay Kingdom, Volo Valley.
In early autumn, in the dense forest east of the Woluo River. Different types of trees stand tall, with broad leaves half light green and half yellow. When the breeze blows, with the sound of huffing and puffing, the yellow leaves fall one after another, like dancing butterflies.
Romo Saldin was squatting on a plane tree. He was tall and tall, holding a bow in one hand and an arrow in the other. His sharp eyes were staring at an open space forty meters away.
In that clearing, a hare that had just died lay quietly there. A large pool of blood flowed out from under its body, dyeing the land into Chu brown, and the faint smell of blood filled the air.
The beast he wants to hunt is called the Borean Timberwolf, an extremely cunning animal. The scent of blood from a hare is the best bait.
For a long time, there was no movement in the woods. Fallen leaves kept brushing against Luo Mo's hair, falling on his shoulders and neck.
But Romo seemed to have merged with the trees, steadily keeping the elf bow half-opened and motionless.
After a long time, the sound of rustling footsteps finally came from the distance.
A gray boreal forest wolf galloped over at extremely fast speeds. There are many trees and vines in the dense forest, which is very twisty. But the wolf swerved through the jungle, barely slowing down as it turned.
In the blink of an eye, he ran to the hare's side. Without any pause, the forest wolf directly picked up the hare in his mouth, and then jumped far away.
And the moment the forest wolf picked up the hare, Romo immediately drew the elf bow to full capacity without any hesitation.
With a 'swish' sound, the bow and arrow shot out, shooting towards the forest wolf that had turned into an afterimage.
The next moment, the forest wolf let out a shrill scream, and his rapid running stopped abruptly. He suddenly fell to the ground, his body slid far away, and he remained frozen.
[Archery experience +2]
"Huh~"
Luo Mo breathed a long sigh of relief, shook the fallen leaves on his body, and jumped down from the tree.
The ground is covered with leaves, and it is easy to lose balance if you step on them rashly. But Luo Mo's control of his body was already very good, and he only made a slight sound before landing firmly on the ground.
Arriving at the body of the forest wolf, Lomo leaned down and took a closer look. The long arrow entered from his right ear and came out from his left cheek, breaking two teeth.
Seeing this result, Luo Mo was immediately very satisfied. It only took a short month and a half to go from being an archery novice to being a sharpshooter now.
He silently opened his skill panel:
[Name: Lomo Saldin]
[Age: 23]
[Strength: 5.1]
[Agility: 5.3]
[Remaining physical strength: 71.5%]
[Swordsmanship: Level 3 (2573/5000) )]
[Riding: Level 3 (1653/5000)]
[Archery: Level 3 (1/5000)]
[Close Combat: Level 2 (1253/2500)]
Looking at the current panel, Luo Mo felt very sad. With emotion, the three basic items of the knight have finally reached the third level. Now he is considered a serious third-level knight.
Thinking back to half a year ago, when he first traveled to this world, he was still a junior knight who often fell off his pony.
Fortunately, along with time travel, there is also a proficiency panel. With this proficiency panel, Romo can get feedback on every practice. By checking whether the value increases and how fast it increases, he will correct his wrong practice methods and then find the most effective practice method.
At the same time, every numerical increase will bring him a steady stream of motivation and satisfaction. Boring training also becomes interesting.
With the blessing of the panel and constant practice, Luo Mo grew from a first-level knight to a junior third-level knight in just two months.
You must know that in West Continent, third-level knights are already considered very good knights. Many of the knights and lords who lead the knights are third-level knights. Perhaps Romo still lacks combat experience and a knighthood loyal to him, but his personal strength is quite close.
After reaching the third-level knight, you can continue to advance upwards and become a fourth-level knight. Combat power will also be further improved.
However, in addition to the choice of knights, there is also a kind of knight called the Dharma Knight.
This kind of knight is very rare in the entire West continent. Their status is lofty and sung by the world, and they are comparable to the great mages of the same level.
If you want to be promoted to a magic knight, you need to obtain a magic weapon that contains magic or has been blessed by magic. You need to slowly get used to the weapons through constant fighting, and then you can get promoted.
From another perspective, the Dharma Knight is actually a kind of magician.
Of course, all professional training will be closely related to magic later on. Magic is the most high-end weapon and the most profound knowledge in this world.
Now, Luo Mo has been promoted to a third-level knight, finally touching the threshold of a practicing knight.
This road is not easy to walk, and only a few can succeed. But with the support of the proficiency panel and his own efforts, Luomo is confident.
He picked up the forest wolf, carried the hare on his shoulders, and walked out of the dense forest. Then walk towards the Volo River.
Walking westward along the river, under the hillside, a quaint castle stands quietly by the river downstream.
This castle is the Sardin Castle where Romo lives. The castle is not big, and the brick walls on the towers are also very mottled.
The castle has stood for decades, but now it only has Romo as its owner.
Before Luo Mo crossed over, his family was already very weak. His parents died at the hands of evil orcs in the north during the Battle of Qiutang; his elder brother was injured while chasing the gnolls that invaded the manor and fell into a mountain stream to his death; his elder sister married away to the east of the Clay Kingdom and has not been heard from for many years.
There are several branches of the Saldin family in other parts of the kingdom, but their blood relationship with Romo is far away. There was almost no contact.
However, Luo Mo is emotionally stable about this. It may be a good thing not to have the fetters of his family, so that he can devote himself wholeheartedly to practice.
He strolled towards the castle. The manor was surrounded by large tracts of farmland. At this time, many people were working in the fields. These were farmers in the manor.
When they saw Lomo walking by, they stopped their farm work and paid their respects to Lomo.
Junior, the manor's carpenter, was tinkering with a newly completed waterwheel by the river. This waterwheel was the brainchild of Lomo and Junior.
Since the territory is near a river, there is no reason not to use water power. Although the waterwheel is not sophisticated and even a bit crude, the Volo River has enough water to irrigate this large field.
In the past six months, Luo Mo has cultivated more than 90 acres of land around the manor while practicing. Due to the infestation of jackals and bandits in the northern region and the impassability of trade routes, Lomo did not choose to grow cash crops, and almost all of them were food crops.
These slices of potatoes, wheat, peanuts, chickpeas and lentils, as well as rows of lettuce, water spinach and cabbage, are enough to feed more than thirty families on the estate.
Luo Mo carried the forest wolf on his shoulders and strolled into the gate of the manor.
In the manor, the old butler Barron was organizing a group of people to gather the potatoes harvested these days. He was glib and kept making several old women laugh. The working atmosphere was very relaxed and comfortable.
Several farmers' children were playing nearby, the shepherd Toby was milking the sheep in the pen, and several young women were weaving linen clothes under the pergola.
The appearance of Luo Mo and Ye Wu immediately attracted everyone's attention.
With a 'bang', Luomo threw the Timber Wolf and Hare directly to the ground, and then wiped the sweat on his face.
Although the Timber Wolf is not too heavy, carrying it all the way is quite exhausting.
Several half-year-old children who were playing nearby immediately gathered around Luo Mo. They first saluted Luo Mo, then looked at him with admiration and said: "Oh my god, Lord Luo Mo, you have hunted another forest wolf! "
The old butler Barron stood up very neatly, handed a bag of malt beer to Lomo, and praised: "My lord, it seems that your archery skills have surpassed your father." When saying this
, He grinned, looking extremely happy, and even the wrinkles on his face were stretched.
Romo shook his head, refused the ale he handed over, and said: "I won't drink for the next two days. I will stay in the secret room under the castle for two days. You can have these two wild animals roasted and kept." Give me a rabbit leg and a wolf leg."
"The secret room. Are you ready to..." Barron's expression changed.
"Yes." Romo nodded and said softly: "Now that I have been promoted to a third-level knight, it is time to try to study the two magic scrolls left by my father, as well as the blue frost sword that has been passed down from generation to generation in my Saldin family. ."
With a solemn expression on Barron's face, he bowed deeply to Romo and said: "The road to becoming a French knight is extremely difficult and dangerous, but since you have decided to practice, I will definitely guard the manor for you and give you enough food. Supply."
"Yes." Luomo nodded again. He still trusted Barron as the butler.
"It's just..." Barron frowned, hesitating to speak.
"Speak directly if you have anything to say." Luo Mo said.
Barron approached Lomo and said softly: "Sir, practicing magic is unusual and extremely risky. Besides, you still practice it alone. In case your body is damaged...otherwise, you should not practice it for the next two days. Xi, I will arrange two young maids for you. At least one or two blood will be left to the Saldin family. If you..." When
Romo heard this, he laughed immediately, patted Barron on the shoulder, and said: " Old Barron, I know what I am doing, you have to have confidence in me. When winter comes in two and a half months, the Hoffy Brotherhood and the Jackals will enter the river valley to plunder, leaving us little time."
said Then, he turned his head and walked into the castle.
Barron looked at Luo Mo's leaving figure, with a complicated expression on his face, a little worried and a little confused, and murmured: "My lord, the changes in the past few months are really big..." (End of this chapter
