The deepest part of the wasteland in Lovian's eyes suddenly ignited a cluster of flames.

"Beyond Akayl—this goal is too simple," the corners of Lovian's mouth curled in an arc, a resolute smile that only a Commander of the Third Army could have, "When the Dark Mage breaks the seal, I'll show him what power is!"

"Yes! That's it!" Mastma's mental fluctuation was a little incoherent, "how much you have to work hard for me!

Lovian understood how desperate he felt when he saw that his strength was less than one thousandth of what he had once been five hundred years later. He knew that he had been able to achieve that kind of achievement, not only by desperate efforts, but by a fire in his heart—at that time, it was the pressure of the hope of the Blood Moon Clan that oppressed him. And now, before he also met Mastma, although he was still working hard to cultivate his essence, his progress was less than one-tenth of what he used to be. The flame in his heart was extinguished, and the dead wasteland in his heart buried his hope, he hoped to have the original power, but he didn't know why.

The black mage did not destroy him, and he was still unable to defeat the black mage who had not healed despite his best efforts - a huge gap in strength suddenly appeared in front of his eyes five hundred years later.

Even if you regain your peak strength, you can't fight against the black magician, so let yourself surpass the peak!

He looked at Mastma's yellow eyes and the familiar magic pattern on her forehead, and touched her ear: "Give me a year, and I'll let you wear the long dress I always wanted you to wear." ”

As he spoke, he held out his hand.

Mastema looked at him in surprise. Then she calmed her breath and used the tips of her pointed nails to quickly draw a circle of blood on the back of Lovian's hand, a combination of her own magic pattern and Luo Wei'an's magic pattern.

The blood stains faded. A cold energy slid into Lovian's heart.

The contract is formed.

"I'm going to hand over the dark spirit to the little puppeteer outside the door, what do you think?" Lowe said reassuringly.

The power of the contract immediately linked the minds of the two demons.

"Whatever you want, it's a waste of his talent to be used in that small organization called the Black Wing. ”

The winter moon soon sank into the breeze of spring dawn.

At the beginning of April, Lovian Bradymuen, who had been in this world for five months, was running around in the back of the street, for he had lived in the plebeian since he had politely refused the graciously offer of Countess Carissa and Duke Chris, who had rushed home half a month earlier. Every day, he would get up at five o'clock in the morning and rush to the Earl's Court to lead little Frannais-Francis in the first stage of the dark spirit study.

There is no concept of the unique martial art of the dark spirit in this world at all, and even though Luo Wei'an said dryly, he didn't explain this martial art that almost no one in the Blood Moon Clan could master to Count Chris, who still had some knowledge of martial arts. In the end, Luo Weian had to get started in person, although Chris's fighting spirit is not shallow. He also had some actual combat experience in several battles against the Black Wings, but for Lovian, who had fought fifteen or sixteen times in the midst of thousands of troops, it was only a little better than Francis's half-ass. Now his spirit is insufficient, that is, the actual combat experience is the best.

This set of martial arts opened Chris's eyes. Lovian's unique essence is different from ordinary fighting energy. It's not that it has nothing to do with magic. The persistence and viscosity of the Essence Qi Technique is much stronger than that of the Dou Qi. It is somewhat similar to magic in terms of its effect on the enhancement of bodily functions.

Countess Carissa hoped that her son would achieve great success in magic, but when he saw that Lovian had already made his little darling use a few dark spirit tricks in a good way, and that he had also made great progress in the cultivation of magic power, he reluctantly agreed to Lovian's proposal for Flanai's dual cultivation of magic and martial arts. You must know that although the concept of dual cultivation of magic and martial arts is not uncommon in this world, it is generally biased towards magic, because the role of a magician is much greater than that of a martial artist. Lovian's approach of martial arts and magic as a secondary is obviously at odds with their worldview.

However, consider that this is a figure in the rebel group. The two of Edelstan's highest nobles agreed to Lovian's arrangement. Moreover, during the period of Frannais's study in Lovian, his behavior has been impeccable trained by this former demon supreme. Even they themselves are a little embarrassed. As long as Flannay stood in front of his parents, they all had a vague feeling as if they were facing a member of the royal family, and when they woke up, they were not ashamed of their vulgar eyes, and they were even more curious about Lovian's ancient background. And Luo Wei'an's insistence on living in the civilian area and his deep secrecy about his background made it difficult for them to stop speculating about whether Luo Wei'an was from the Holy Emperor's lineage.

In mid-April, Guigmont and Bell traveled to the city where the co-monarchs of Osiria lived, dressed in civilian clothes. Lovian wanted to know more about the world, so he agreed to Gigmunt's request to let him join the team. He was accompanied by ten knights of the Knights of Merlan, the guardian of Edelstan's face, and fifty of their servants.

Of course, there was Mastma, who slept on his shoulder, and Francis, the apprentice who stood with his hands down. In addition to this, there was an officer of Edelstein with the title of baron, and several grooms.

Before leaving, it was inevitable that the two nobles, Chris and Carissa, would be careful to tell their son, because this time Francis was not only attending the alliance meeting in the Holy Land, but also the beginning of his first year of school life in the capital. As for whether the school entrance exam could be passed, the two nobles did not think of failure at all.

Along the way, of course, Lovian can't just be a machine that consumes dry food, and his character doesn't allow him to do so. So at the night that was most suitable for the perception of the demons, he took the initiative to shoulder the responsibility of sentry. This makes it a matter of responsibility, courage and dedication...... The adherents of the chivalry above life are quite satisfied, and this young man who looks very aristocratic is not the small belly and pampered problems unique to those wealthy young masters!

The province of Edelstan is located northeast of the Osilian continent. With the trade of lutetium ore, it became one of the few rich provinces on the mainland. But it also has an awkward identity, which is that of "the land shrouded in the most autonomous of holy radiances".

The open and covert struggle between the Black Wings and the rebel groups lasted for decades, which led to the weakening of the central imperial power in the constant friction between the two. In the end, the central imperial power ended in vain. Moreover, the central imperial power did not attach importance to Edelstan's rule, and never gave any form of assistance to the rebel organizations, so that the rebel organizations that really controlled Edelstan's power turned against the central imperial power.

The decision to join the coalition was also the result of intense discussions within the rebel group. Faced with the growing power of the Black Wings, the rebels eventually decided that achieving a more stable central imperial government would have a positive effect on their growing disadvantage.

It is a considerable distance from Edelstan to the sacred site on the island of Victoria, located in the inland sea of Osilia. It would take them almost two months to travel. So along the way, they had to resupply in various cities along the way.

The first day of the journey to Beijing passed.

The night was dark, and there was a thick night all around. A crescent moon hangs diagonally from the treetops ahead. On the flat continent, there were several caravans ahead that had stopped for the night. They probably saw the indifferent and tall figures of the knights of the Order of Merlan around their convoy, and their hopes were pinned on their wings.

Lovian sat on the roof of the last car, his yellow crystal eyes shining with terrifying light. Look far away. You can see the yellow light in his eyes. In the carriage in which he was sitting, Francis and the clerk with a thick beard between his lips were asleep.

Mastema already liked to squat on Lovian's shoulders.

"The symbol of the black wings?...... I'll ask Francis sometime, he must know this very well. ”

"I'm not sure...... I just think that the symbol of the Black Wings is very similar to the Winged Demon Clan's family emblem, and there may be some kind of connection between the two. Mastema grabbed Lovien by the collar.

Lovian's mind lit up: "You said that it was not the Black Wings established by Siu or Orka, didn't you say that every legion leader has an immortal scroll?"

Mastma shook her head sadly: "Impossible, the Winged Demon Clan has been extinct, and they have been attacked by the combined forces of the human alliance in order to cover the escape of other Demon Clans. Although Orka has a strange temperament, she is an impeccable and good patriarch. There was no way she and Siu would survive after the entire clan had been killed in battle. ”

Lovien nodded. He had the same decision, but by mistake. He somehow survived.

"Why did I survive?" muttered Lovian, "I collapsed in the Dark Mage's ashram, where I don't know what happened last......"

Mastma couldn't answer this question either, she could only say that shortly after the human hero luminous mage Luminos stormed the dark mage's ashram, there was a big explosion in the entire Temple of Time, and she lost her instincts in the explosion again, and when she woke up, the remnants of the Temple of Time floated into the air and disappeared. Then, after determining the reality that the Legion Commander was still alive, she began her search for five hundred years until that encounter not long ago.

"You trust the Rebels so much?"

"It is more terrible to trust a stranger than to trust an enemy, and you know that he is hostile to you, and to trust a stranger you can only guard against them in the dark. "I know they don't trust me either, it's just a relationship of mutual exploitation, they want me to raise Francis's excellent seed into a strong man among the rebels, and I only hope that I can use them to live quietly in this world, free you from the curse, and restore your own strength, waiting for the dark magician." If the black mage hasn't broken the seal in this life, even if I admit it. Anyway, I won't remember the events of this life in the next life, and I don't have to be tormented by my mother's and Damien's nightmares every day. ”

Mastma heard the breath of the vicissitudes of life from the Blood Moon, and she thought back to the five hundred years that had been like a dream, and she was silent, staring at the rising moon.

Just as a man and a cat were looking at the moon in a trance, someone gently knocked on the carriage he was in.

The horse lying on the ground wagged its tail slightly.

"It's Talco, it's your vigil today?" asked Lovian in a friendly voice.

Talco was the squad leader of the Knights of Melan.

Knight, on the continent of Osiria. It has entered the aristocracy. Although this title of nobility is the lowest of the kind, it is an indispensable stepping stone to a higher position. Therefore, if many civilians want to get ahead, they should practice fighting skills. Add a little merit and you can get the title of knight. A knight means that he can have a small piece of his own fief and vassal, and he can be hereditary, which means that he has changed from a cloth common man to a noble lord.

Of course, becoming a magician is a much easier path, even if it is an apprentice magician, it has a higher status than a knight. Wealthy families from all sides are vying for it, and of course, they can also draw a large fiefdom for themselves and raise their wives and children. Watching his servants live a quiet life. However, the qualifications required to become a magician are too high, and basically no one expects them to inherit some magical qualifications from their parents who have no magical talent (such as Francis, who is close to the water and has the moon first), so more people always practice their fighting spirit honestly.

Even so, of course. Become a knight. There are still difficulties to face.

Luo Wei'an still maintained a certain level of spiritual power, and could sense the Dou Qi cyclone in Talco's body without him noticing. The human body is somewhat different from the demon, the demon is more inclined to the demonic beast, using the crystal nucleus to store and release their own energy, while the human body makes full use of its muscles as a carrier to store the fighting qi, and condenses the cyclone of the fighting qi concentrated throughout the body.

Talco had a thick beard and heavy armor, and I wondered why he was so heavily armed in such a safe place.

"You are the most active young noble master I have ever met. Talco's buzzing voice didn't know whether it was praising or scolding Lovian.

Luo Weian made a look of embarrassment: "Friend, I am just a commoner, not a nobleman at all—I live at 14 Aroma Street, east of Gear City. Everyone else knows. ”

Talco shrugged: "I don't believe it, look at the way you walk and talk." Better than many of the people in the Holy Land I've ever seen!"

"Okay...... I used to be, but I abandoned my identity. ”

"I've never seen this, why?"

Masterma lay motionless on Lovian's shoulder, "I didn't do my duty to make my people ...... suffered. ”

Talco looked at him with suspicion, as if he didn't quite believe that the boy, who looked like he was fifteen or sixteen years old, could have such a complicated past, but listening to his tone, he obviously didn't want to continue the topic.

"If that's the case, you're a worthy lord. Talco swayed his heavily armored body, "That kind of person should be respected." ”

There was a silence between the two, and in the silence of the night around them, there were flashes of torches in the hands of the other night watchmen of the Order of Merlan. The pitch-black war horse stared at its eyes the size of a brass bell, and snorted a few times from time to time.

"This morning I saw the martial arts you used when you taught the Earl of Wintington's son. The knight found a topic, "Your martial arts are very peculiar, and there are few people like you in the fighting spirit of the dark attribute. ”

Luo Wei'an didn't want to completely expose the dark essence, he just nodded: "This is a martial art that is passed down from my family, but the family rules don't say that it can't be passed on." ”

"How strong are you now?"

Luo Wei'an really couldn't tell, according to the background of his dark essence, according to the standards of human knights, he was the first cyclone of condensation, and he was working towards the second cyclone of condensation. However, if you count your own understanding and mastery of power, you will not be able to fall behind against the opponent of the condensed third cyclone.

"Soon we will be able to condense the second cyclone. Lovian said with a smile.

Talco exclaimed, "Amazing! You're not even eighteen, and you'll be qualified to become a knight in a few months!"

"That's also the simplest 'official knight', like you, you're about to condense the third cyclone and become a 'Radiant Knight'!"

The knight level in humans is also similar to that of demons.

Condensing a cyclone, one's own fighting spirit can improve one's physical ability, stimulate one's greater potential, and allow oneself to have greater strength and faster speed, but the fighting spirit cannot be released. Condensing a cyclone is something that almost everyone can do in their lifetime, but it's just a matter of time before they reach it.

Generally speaking, the chance of condensing a second cyclone is much greater before the age of 14. Condensing the second cyclone means that the fighting spirit is released, and it can enhance one's combat effectiveness on a large scale. However, it must be known that the vast majority of teenagers who are eager to break away from the civilian status are all stuck on the condensed second cyclone, and even the proportion of the condensed third cyclone knights among the knights who have condensed the second cyclone is larger than the proportion of the official knights who condense the second cyclone among the civilians who condense the first cyclone!

The knight who condenses the third cyclone is called the "Knight of Glory". Condensing the third cyclone means that you have embarked on the path of the strong. Condensing the fourth cyclone, called the "Holy Radiance Knight", for such a relatively peaceful era, this is already the title of the top powerhouse. And the "paladin" who condensed the fifth cyclone ...... In this era, there is no strong man who can condense the fifth cyclone.

Every additional cyclone is a qualitative change.

In the heyday of Lovian, the five crystal nuclei emitted a brilliant blue-red light in the body, which meant the level of a human paladin. But now, not to mention that his fifth crystal nucleus is silent, and he has no intention of being summoned by Luo Wei to condense his essence, even the third crystal nucleus is still napping in his spine, and only the most important first crystal nucleus in his brain is struggling to support Luo Wei'an's essence required for a large amount of training every day, and sometimes the second crystal nucleus at the cervical spine will help.

Lovian was indeed admired from the bottom of his heart, because he did not compare Talco to himself. At the age of twelve, the demon level condenses the first crystal nucleus, the second crystal nucleus at the age of sixteen, the third crystal nucleus at the age of twenty-one, the fourth crystal nucleus at the age of twenty-eight, and the fifth crystal nucleus at the age of thirty-seven...... This speed, only Siu and Orka can compare to themselves.

"The organization sent me to protect Fran-Flannais," Lovian almost said, "Actually, I don't think I have much confidence. ”

Then Talco nodded very formally, and Lovian suddenly cried and laughed, "Do we need so many brothers to protect Lord Gigmont along the way?"

Talco's mouth shrouded in a big beard moved, obviously a little nervous, "In our Moran Knights, the brothers I brought are all official knights of the same level as me, and under the unified charge, even the knights of glory can't please ...... But the Knight Elder and the rest of the organization insisted on sending us men, and I reckon they had a reason. ”

Luo Weian made a very serious look, this tall and burly knight was indeed very delicate, much smarter than the human knight with three or four cyclones that he had cut down at the beginning. (To be continued......)
