Chapter 534, The Road of Knight-Part 2

The troops from Kendall County in the Northwest Province stayed outside the Nanguan Pass all night. At dawn the next day, they packed up and set off.

In addition to some caravans that originally followed the army, some small caravans that passed through the Nuihe River checkpoint also took the initiative to follow this well-equipped army with the mentality of taking advantage.

Those caravans traveling north and south must have seen that this elite but immature army was still bound by the laws of the kingdom. At this time, it had not yet become a violent group that used violence to obtain profits without punishment, so they boldly and actively followed them.

The army continued walking south along the trade road.

The topography of the Western Province is very different from that of the Northwest Province. Instead of the random towering mountains and densely forested mountains, there are vast lakes, plains and grasslands. Sometimes you can see a small patch of low trees beside the trade road.

It relies on some stone pillars that suddenly appear on the vast grassland, instead of the trees that people usually think will always appear around water sources.

This is because the various lakes in the Western Province are always surrounded by groups of animals. It is difficult for trees to withstand the animals' self-feeding behavior, which means that the fast-growing weeds can grow repeatedly.

The roads in the Western Province are surrounded by vast grasslands, so in order to mark accurate trade routes, people here will use fired hard mud bricks to erect conspicuous signs several meters high every tens of meters on both sides of the trade roads.

The top of each masonry pillar is equipped with a polished reflective stone ball.

Whenever the sun appears from the horizon and shines on the stone balls, the smooth stone balls on the tops of these masonry pillars will reflect the bright and dazzling reflections of the sun, guiding the traveling business travelers not to take the wrong route.

Kiel has been riding his own horses to patrol around the marching army for the past two days. According to the information he has learned, unlike the sparsely populated Northwest Province, the Western Province has a relatively larger population, but most of the population

Distributed on several main roads throughout the province.

Deep in the grassland, the sea of ​​grass is taller than a man riding a horse, but it is full of murderous intent, and few people live there.

For example, the trade route they are taking now basically follows the speed of ordinary caravans, and there are simple villages and towns where they can stay every day.

As long as you don't get robbed by bandits on horses during the day, you won't have any problems walking here, and you don't need to frequently camp and stay in the wild.

This is very different from the Northwest Province.

Because he was riding a horse, Kiel was arranged by Knight Crow to arrive early with several baron guards who also rode horses to the village where he would stay that night to explain the situation.

The situation must be explained. After all, an army is passing through. In order not to cause excessive panic in the villages and towns where they are staying, Kiel and the others have to inform the local lords or stewards in advance so that the other party can prepare for the reception. Most of them are mentally prepared and prepared.

Just a supplement of water.

According to Kiel’s experience during this period, the situation usually looks like this:

When they arrive at the place where they will set foot half a day in advance, they will be alerted by the defensive forces of the villages and towns because they are all riding horses and well-equipped. At this time, the baron's bodyguards have to show the noble tokens representing the baron to let the other side know.

Let them in carefully.

Then, in the face of the other party's vigilance and hostility, he shamelessly found someone to inquire about the local leader who was making trouble.

This step has to be left to Kiel himself. The baron's personal guards are not willing to use their hot faces to touch the cold buttocks of the locals. Kiel has to scratch his head to do these tasks.

Fortunately, he was young, and his smiling face looked particularly safe. Although he had killed too many people with murderous aura, most people couldn't feel it. They would only think that the aura of this young man Kiel was a bit fierce.

And after finding the local leader or manager, he told them that he was just an outpost for an army of several hundred people and two to three hundred people accompanying the caravan.

At this time, the people who were dealing with them quickly changed their faces and became polite to them.

Every time this happens, Keir finds it funny. Of course, he won't really laugh, as that will cause trouble.

-

Two or three days after leaving Nung Nanguan and marching south.

That night, their troops and caravans were stationed outside an unknown small place called Grass Rat Town.

Without entering the town, people would not really let so many people in. At most, they would be some businessmen or guards who could not bear the loneliness. They would go to the town to have some fun with money in their pockets. Often these businesses were built on trade routes.

The town will kill them hard.

The army was still camping in the open space next to the road as usual.

The caravans who followed the army and the caravans who joined temporarily set up a gathering point to rest at a random gathering point opposite the trade road where the military camp was located.

The men and horses of each caravan will be clearly separated from other caravans, which results in the caravan camp not having as many people as the army. On the contrary, it looks larger and more lively than the military camp.

Caravan guys who carry musical instruments often sit by the fire, accompanied by the fire made of grass, and compete sporadically to test their musical instrument playing skills. The 'educated people' who still remember a few poems use hoarse

Her voice sang a series of popular poetry stories with a hint of obscenity.

Drinking the clear water that had no taste at all, the merchants sang and danced, sitting around and having fun together.

At this time, Kiel was undergoing a new step of knight training in Knight Crow's tent.

Different from general martial arts training, the training of knights itself is a matter of control.

Since eating only strange food made from the body of a water ghost in the past two days, Kil has been feeling hot but full of strength. Even if he does nothing, his whole body is sweating all the time, which makes him

I have to drink water frequently to ensure that my body is adequately hydrated.

Occasionally, he would take out the bag of salt from his carriage and lick the yellow-white salt grains to replenish the missing salt in his body, otherwise he would have no strength at all.

Even though he only eats a little bit of water ghost body tissue every meal, just that little bit of meat makes Kil feel full and he feels that he has eaten enough. If the appearance and taste are not indescribable, Kil even feels that this thing is really real.

Very good portable food.

It is small in size, full of food, and has strong energy. After eating just a little, you will be full of energy all day long.

"Boy, this is not a good thing."

Knight Crow was sitting on a chair in the camp, playing with several strangely colored water ghost claws left from the fingertips of the water ghost.

"Not everyone can eat the meat of monsters and Warcraft. Some of them are poisonous, but they are not poisonous. If we humans eat them, it will have terrible consequences."

Kil's eyes widened. Although he was surprised, he knew that the knight had not finished speaking.

"Generally speaking, after eating a small amount of monster meat, ordinary people will have sufficient physical strength for a period of time, but they can easily suffer from hidden fatal diseases that do not show up. Generally speaking, they will die from the disease within ten years."

He stretched out his hand to indicate the length. Knight Crow's words were so frightening that Kil gulped.

"I don't know the specific reason, but it's probably that monster meat can cause various pathological changes in normal people's bodies."

Isn't this cancer?

Keir thought to himself.

"And this is just a monster. The body tissue of a monster is even more powerful because it contains more messy and deadly magic power. Not only will ordinary people get sick after eating it, but it will also produce some bad and terrible changes. It's basically not just a skinless beast.

Their hands are like a certain leg that has shrunk to the size of a finger or something. Some people will spontaneously combust for no reason, or even their limbs will explode directly."

Listening to Knight Crow's words becoming more and more outrageous, Kil reached out to cover his stomach and belly, even imagining whether he would grow a talking tumor.

"Haha." Seeing Kil's actions, Knight Crow smiled: "When I was assigned to become a knight because of my good performance in the army, my actions were exactly the same as yours now."

"Don't worry, those are things that happen to ordinary people. The knight training I teach you is the means and tools to conquer and control these situations."

Reaching out to gesture towards himself, the knight continued: "In terms of the knight's sense of experience, eating the body tissues of monsters and warcraft will cause the human body to digest the parts that can be digested, and the life energy of the whole person will be extremely large in a short period of time.

Strengthening supplements may seem like a good thing, but it’s like filling a water cup with water and continuing to add water. Not only does the excess water run away in vain, but the excess water sometimes overturns the cup containing the water.”

Kil nodded, he understood. Knight Crow said it very clearly.

"I mentioned a premise before - the parts that the human body can digest! No need to guess, there must be too many unknown substances in the body tissues of monsters and Warcraft that humans cannot come into contact with. Some of those substances can even be refined into precious potions. Simple

Generally speaking, those things are harmful to the human body and will corrode and affect the human body. Together with the extra water above, these two things are the reasons why ordinary people will die after eating the body tissues of monsters and Warcraft."

"But knights are different. In other words, this is a necessary step for trainers who want to become knights."

"Kiel, it's been two days since you ate the flesh and body tissue of a water ghost. How do you feel?"

Kiel wiped his sweat with his hands. Although the weather was not hot in the spring night, he still sweated a lot: "I kept sweating, and I didn't sleep for two days. Not only was my spirit very good, but my body also felt good."

Full of strength!"

Knight Crow nodded: "This is what I said before. After being absorbed and digested, the monster's meat is adding water to your body's water cup."

"Sir, just tell me what to do now! I listen to you."

Kil sat cross-legged on the ground in the middle of the camp, looking at Knight Crow with burning eyes, eager to try.

-

"Do you still remember the puppet I gave you? A few days ago, I asked you to try to control a small amount of life energy in your body to avoid its attack when stimulated by that thing."

Seeing Knight Crow talking about this, Kil quickly took out the wooden doll given by Knight Crow from the thick leather bag on his waist.

Several days have passed since this thing was handed over to him, and the life energy of Knight Crow on it still persists. Holding it in his hand is like receiving an electric shock. When not resisting the opponent's attack, Kil's hand is numb.

He knew that the place where his palm touched was being weakly attacked by Knight Crow's life energy.

Seeing Kiel take out the doll, the knight reached out and took the doll away, played with it for a while, and then with a flash of earthy yellow light on his hand, he recharged the doll with full life energy.

The entire doll couldn't help but emit an earthy yellow light. Just staring at it, Kil felt as if his eyes were stung by tiny needles.

"Go on! Take it in your hand and show me how well you can resist its attacks and control your life energy."

With that said, the knight threw the recharged puppet to Kil, who took it carefully, but when he held the puppet in his hand, his palms still couldn't help but twitch.

Seeing the knight staring at him, Kil had to cheer up and concentrate on using his control over the life energy in his palm.

With his mind concentrated, he could feel that every place that came into contact with the puppet in his hand was being stimulated like needles by the reactivated life energy.
