6. Seek energy (it's really hard to think of a title)
The next day, just as the light was bright, Adam still came to the stable to work, feed, clean the fur, and clean the process. The processes were no different from before. However, after the work was completed, he did not leave directly as usual, but opened the door that he was about to cover and stood quietly aside.
Since he could simply control his power, he discovered another use of mental power. This special energy has powerful perception ability, which is much stronger than the naked eye. There are no blind spots or blind spots in the range, just like now he has discovered that someone has arrived without looking back.
Ophelia was still dazzling. She passed by Adam without any strangeness, as if facing an ordinary servant in a manor.
She came to take away her mount, a war horse with unicorn bloodline that she named Dark Cloud.
For Ophelia, who has the level of the Great Knight, this mixed-blood war horse can no longer provide any additional combat power. When the great knight's blood energy explodes, the war horse will collapse directly. The pure monster mount cannot be tamed by the knight's power, so the war horse returns to its original function in the hands of the Great Knight and is only used as a means of transportation.
Ophelia didn't say a word. When Dark Cloud left the stable, she gently swept Adam with her tail. Adam also said nothing, closed the stable and walked towards the cafeteria.
Ophelia rode out of the manor on the dark clouds and rushed towards the northern Hanfeng City. She wanted to fulfill her promise.
She knew that her father, Earl Johnson, had never been a kind person. He adhered to the bottom line that a noble and a knight should have, but he would not do things completely according to the spirit of chivalry. If Ophelia did not ask, Earl Johnson might force Adam to sign a contract and order Adam to give up his identity as a freeman and become his subordinate. If Adam loses the opportunity to become a mage, it will lead to Ophelia's promise being a breach of trust, which is spiritual unclean for a knight.
As for whether Adam can deal with the coercion and temptation of Marshall and Dennis, Ophelia didn't care. In her heart, Count Johnson was a majeure factor. This powerful man like a monster could not fight against even with her current strength. Her two brothers were ordinary beasts at best. If Adam could not even deal with this level of threat, then being a knight honestly was the best choice, no matter who he played for.
Hanfeng City is the center of the north, a large city. The Count's mansion is located in the center. Ophelia and Dark Clouds drive straight in, and no one stops it along the way.
"Ophelia, is there anything you have to do?" Earl Johnson sat on the huge chair in the upper head, a majestic man, even now wearing steel armor, giant swords and knight guns, and nothing seemed to threaten him.
Ophelia laughed at herself. This is her father, this way of speaking like a stranger.
"About Adam, my groom. I hope I can take him to meet the master of the Moldo Master from Moldo Academy." Ophelia made a straightforward request.
Earl Johnson had no expression. He was very surprised when he learned yesterday that Adam had caused the energy to rush out of his first practice, but he was just surprised and had no joy.
Although Adam works in his manor, he is a free citizen. If the guardian knight of the family had not cultivated loyalty since childhood, it would not be trustworthy. The wandering knight could only be used as a mercenary. But it is obvious that it is too late to brainwash Adam now.
As forcing a free citizen to sign a contract of master-servant to become a slave or retainer, it will undoubtedly cause a strong backlash from the people in the territory, and the gain will not be worth the cost.
But if Adam is left in another way...
"Ophelia, you know, if you leave through qualification certification, the family will suffer losses." Earl Johnson said slowly.
Ophelia sneered in her heart. She had guessed what her father was going to say, 'Sure enough, I'm just a valuable item.'
Earl Johnson continued: "The family has suffered heavy losses without a great knight, but now you want to take away another genius who will definitely become a great knight, which I cannot accept. I think you should think about the family. I heard that the boy named Adam was your childhood playmate, and you should have a way to convince him to serve the family, right?"
Ophelia said coldly: "No, Mr. Earl, Adam is a free man rather than your slave. He has the power to choose. I have no choice and no right to influence him. As for me, sir, my name is Ophelia Johnson, and my last name will not be changed by whether I have become a wizard."
Then she sneered without any concealment and said, "Sir, you should know clearly the talents of your two sons, so the wizard Ophelia Johnson is the real protective umbrella of the Johnson family."
After you die, Ophelia did not say this last sentence, but just said to herself in her heart.
Earl Johnson suddenly looked up at his little daughter, his muscles swelled up due to anger, and the steel armor made a squeaking sound. Ophelia looked at him without any weakness. This father had completely disappointed her.
After looking at each other for a while, Count Johnson didn't say anything more and waved his hand to signal Ophelia to leave. He knew that his daughter's words were right. He also knew that after his death, the family without the Great Knights was just a piece of fat. The talents of the two sons were not enough to support the family to continue to rule the Northland. This was also the reason why he acquiesced to Ophelia in chasing the path of the mage. The family needed deterrence.
"Daughter, why are you a daughter?" Earl Johnson sighed alone in the spacious hall.
Ophelia walked out of the city lord's mansion calmly, and the war horse Wuyun stood outside with a high spirit. She was very spiritually aware of the depressed mood of the master, neighed softly and rubbed the master's face with her big head.
Ophelia patted it onto the horse: "Let's go."
The atmosphere in the manor canteen is weird.
Adam was still sitting alone, with food piled up in front of him, and he ate meticulously, without wasting any energy contained in every part of the food. Under Adam's complete control of his body, he perfectly absorbed it and strengthened his physique.
Adam was surrounded by servants lying all over the floor, all of whom were bruised and swollen. The air conditioner was constantly pumping in their mouths. The intense pain made them unable to even get up and leave. The bearded man Qiao fell to the door with his head down, and his face was covered with blood. If it weren't for his ups and downs, his chest proved that he was still alive, he would look like a dead person.
The ointment was really helpful to Adam. He strengthened his physique to the level of a normal person overnight, but Adam knew that there would be no second ointment for him to use in the short term, so these ordinary foods are an important source of energy.
So the situation that was completely opposite to the past happened. Adam, who was often stolen from food, took the initiative to attack this time, and after knocking down all the servants cleanly, enjoying their food with peace of mind. These servants were vulnerable and had no ability to resist.
Every muscle in Adam's body was trembling at a slight frequency, achieving the purpose of exercise in this way, but: "It's not enough. The energy obtained from low-level food cannot provide the practice of breathing."
After eating the last piece of black bread, Adam sat on a chair and began to practice breathing. His voice was still huge. No. 3 energy rushed to input into his body, and a faint red light rose.
Others were frightened. They had never seen such an energy reaction when practicing in any knight in the manor. They finally knew the difference between themselves and Adam.
After Adam breathed his full strength for only five minutes, his body had an overload reaction, and the energy obtained from the food was consumed. Adam stood up silently, and his cold and emotional gaze swept across the crowd on the ground. The servants endured the pain and retreated. They even thought Adam would choose to eat them. They did not breathe a sigh of relief until Adam left the cafeteria and cursed hard: "Damn it, this bastard, monster."
In fact, Adam did not have the idea of eating them. In Adam's mind, he and they were not the same as them, and he did not have the mentality of "can't eat people". The reason why he did not do this is because he does not have the ability to challenge universal values and bear the consequences.
Adam picked up his basket and sickle and walked out of the manor, and today he brought an extra pair of flints.
In this relatively closed environment, a message was conveyed quickly. Now everyone knows that the fool who had no sense of existence in the past was the most used to be a joke turned into a genius. Those who didn't believe it were also confirmed by the knight attendants on the training ground yesterday that Lieutenant General was skeptical.
Adam received the gaze all the way. He heard that Miss Ophelia had saved him by the two masters and put away her minions. When the soldiers guarding the door saw him, they jogged over from the stove to open the side door for him, without even a word of nonsense.
It happened to meet Ophelia who returned. When she saw Adam wearing a suit, she instantly understood the bad taste of the lower-level servants and knew what Adam was going to go out to do. After a moment of hesitation, she did not explain anything and said coldly: "From today on you no longer need to feed my horse."
Adam looked up at Ophelia without saying a word, and walked towards the opposition silently. Ophelia didn't wait for Adam to answer, and the two of them passed by.
The manor was getting smaller and smaller behind Adam. Instead of following his familiar path, he walked towards the deeper wilderness. The snowflakes falling from the sky indicate that late autumn in the north is about to end, followed by a long cold winter.
