As a cautious person, he prefers the Gray Twilight Wasteland.
The Leia Great Forest and the New Northern Land both look like a powder keg no matter how you look at them. War could break out at any moment, and he doesn't want the foundation he has painstakingly established to become the front line of the war.
After comprehensive consideration, Verin decided to choose the Gray Twilight Wasteland. Although it is more than 5,000 kilometers away, he can reach it quickly by using the teleportation array in the provincial capital of Xihe Province.
However, there is an important problem, that is, he can't bring too many people with him, otherwise just the teleportation fee will cost him a fortune.
"Next, I will cultivate to improve my strength, train my own guardian knights, and collect information about the Gray Twilight Plain."
At noon the next day, Verin took Orlando and Hebraic to a meditation room and personally taught them the Advanced Knight Awakening Method.
The two of them only took two and a half hours to awaken their battle qi.
This shocked Verin greatly, and he couldn't help but think of the great potential described in the Guidance of Destiny.
It seems that he still underestimated the meaning represented by the words "great potential".
Thinking back when he himself used the Knight Awakening Method, it took him half a month to awaken his battle qi.
Just as the Guidance of Destiny told him, these two teenagers would become his wings.
Therefore, during this period of time, cultivating feelings became a top priority. Otherwise, if the talents he had cultivated left him, who would he turn to for comfort?
After his inspection, he found that Orlando had awakened fire-attribute battle qi, and Hebraic had awakened ice-attribute battle qi.
After instructing the two to get familiar with the battle qi in their bodies here, he left the meditation room and prepared to go to the family's collection room to use his authority to select two knight breathing methods suitable for the two of them.
After going through numerous inspections, Verin came to the core area of Windsor Castle—the Ax Family Collection Room.
As the foundation of the family's establishment, this collection room, covering an area of 400 square meters, stores tens of thousands of various important books, including knight awakening methods, knight breathing methods, and methods of learning special skills. In addition, there are also a small number of magic meditation methods and magic skill books.
However, as a traditional knight noble family, it is determined that the Ax Family does not attach much importance to magic.
Coming to a bookshelf, Verin began to select suitable knight breathing methods for his guardian knights.
With his status, he couldn't select very good knight breathing methods.
It took half an hour to select two knight breathing methods suitable for Orlando and Hebraic. Using the magic formation at the door, he made two copies and then left the place.
Returning to the meditation room, Verin called the two of them over and read to them word by word, teaching them to practice these two breathing methods.
The main function of the knight breathing method is to transform the powerful magic energy in the air into battle qi through skills, continuously increase the body's capacity, purify the quality of the battle qi, and achieve the goal of improving strength.
In the next ten-odd days, Verin first took the two guardian knights to the Temple of Life to go through the process of the guardian knight's oath. After that, he spent all the time in the meditation room, seizing every minute to improve his own strength.
During this period, he also witnessed what a real genius was.
In just half a month, the two of them passed the rank of knight attendant and grew into low-rank bronze knights.
Now, what they lack is only the training of combat skills and the experience of fighting against the enemy.
On April 1, 9720 of the Radiant Calendar, it was the sixth day before Verin left Windsor Castle.
This afternoon, he received the assistance list that his father, Angus, had someone give to him, which recorded the family's assistance to him this time.
On the white paper were displayed various detailed information.
80,000 gold coins.
12 intermediate magic crystals.
120 low-level magic crystals.
Eighteen red-scaled horses with a trace of red dragon blood.
A team of high-rank bronze knights, with twelve people.
Six sets of excellent-level knight full-body armors.
Eighteen excellent-level knight long swords.
Looking at these simple words, the materials they represented were worth a total of 300,000 gold coins.
According to the broad classification in this world, all items can be roughly divided into six categories: ordinary level, fine level, excellent level, transcendent level, legendary level, and epic level (mythical level).
The annual tax revenue of the Eagle Territory where the Ax Family is located is only 3 million gold coins. Just like Yinxing City, its annual tax revenue is only 600,000 gold coins.
This is equivalent to his father giving him all the tax revenue of the second largest city in the territory for half a year as assistance.
Although it includes the reward for the information he submitted, it is still too much.
Verin stroked his chin and recalled that when his fourth brother left five years ago, the family provided materials worth only about 150,000 gold coins.
"With the money I've saved over the years, my starting capital will be 305,000 gold coins, which is enough for me to show my skills and get through the initial stage of development."
"Next, I have to walk all the roads by myself. Although I have this huge sum of money in my hands, I must also be careful with my spending." Verin constantly admonished himself in his heart not to be confused by this large amount of money.
It was very novel for him to be in charge.
At night, Verin sat on the bed and silently calculated the time, looking forward to the broadcast of the second Guidance of Destiny.
At 8 o'clock in the evening, the pleasant female voice sounded again, bringing him valuable information.
[Thirteen days later, on the nearest road from Windsor Castle to the provincial capital of Xihe Province, at a place called the Sahaklos Mountain Ridge, there is a group of fanatical warriors lying in wait, preparing to assassinate the fifth son of the Earl of Eagle, disguising it as a bandit robbery. The highest strength of the fanatical warriors is high-rank silver. It is recommended to take a detour, otherwise you will be involved in the upper-level struggles in Xihe Province.]
The Sahaklos Mountain Ridge is located in the central area of the Iron 雄 Territory and is the territory of the Hax Family.
As the sworn enemy of the Ax Family, it goes without saying that this group of fanatical warriors was sent by the Hax Family to intercept and kill him.
"Perhaps, I should set off in advance, take a detour, and go to the provincial capital of Xihe Province." Verin put his hands behind his head, lay on the bed, and began to make a preliminary plan in his mind.
At noon the next day, Verin came to the No. 3 Training Ground of Windsor Castle, an open space covering an area of 600 square meters.
Here, the assistance provided by the Ax Family to Verin was placed.
In the center of the training ground, 12 high-rank bronze knights wearing iron armor stood there, waiting for the arrival of the person they swore allegiance to.
As the captain of this team of bronze knights, Baird was very confused.
Although Young Master Verin had a very good reputation in the castle, he was kind to others, sincere, and didn't have the common problem of arrogance and conceit of nobles, but he was very lazy and seemed to be just idling away his time. As a result, most of the other noble offspring of the Eagle family of the same generation had been promoted to high-rank bronze, and some had even reached low-rank silver, while he was still hovering at mid-rank bronze.
