The next day the sun just came out, Adam still came to the stables to work, feeding, cleaning the fur, cleaning, all the processes were the same as before. However, after the work was completed, he did not leave directly as usual, but opened the door that was supposed to be closed and stood silently aside.
Since he can simply control the power, he has discovered another use of mental power. This special energy has a powerful perception ability, far more powerful than the naked eye. There are no dead ends and no blind spots within the range, just like now He didn’t look back to find someone coming.
Ophelia is still dazzling, she passed by Adam without any abnormality, just like facing an ordinary servant in a manor.
She came to take her mount, the unicorn-blooded warhorse she named Dark Cloud.
For Ophelia, who has the level of a great knight, this mixed-blood warhorse can no longer provide any additional combat power. When the blood of the great knight breaks out, the warhorse will collapse directly, and the pure monster mount is not a knight. The power can be tamed, so the warhorse returned to its original function in the hands of the great knight, and was only used as a means of transportation.
Ophelia didn’t say a word. Dark Cloud swept Adam with his tail when he left the stable. Adam also said nothing, closed the stable and walked towards the dining hall.
Ophelia rode out of the manor on a dark cloud and galloped towards the Northland Cold Maple City, she was going to fulfill her promise.
She knew that her father, Earl Johnson, was never a kind person. He abide by the bottom line that a nobleman and a knight should have, but he would not act pedantically and completely in accordance with the spirit of chivalry. If Ophelia does not go Please, Earl Johnson may force Adam to sign a contract, ordering 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 to break the promise, which is very bad for a knight. It is spiritual impurity.
As for whether Adam can cope with the coercion and temptation of Marshall and Dennis, Ophelia doesn’t care. In her heart, Count Johnson is an irresistible factor. This powerful man like a monster can’t resist even with her current strength. And her two older brothers are ordinary beasts at best. If Adam can’t even deal with this level of threat, then honestly being a knight is the best choice, no matter who he works for.
Cold Maple City is the center of the Northland, a very large city. The City Lord’s Mansion where the Earl lives is located at the very center. Ophelia and the dark clouds drive straight in without anyone blocking the way.
“Ophelia, what’s the matter with you?” Count Johnson sat on the huge chair above, a majestic man, even now wearing steel armor, great swords and knightly spears Nothing seemed to threaten him within reach.
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 see the Master Mage from the Moldo Mage Academy.” Ophelia made a straightforward request.
Earl Johnson didn’t show any expression. He was very surprised when he learned yesterday that Adam was suspected of causing an energy runaway during his first practice, but he was only surprised, not happy.
Although Adam works in his manor, he is a free citizen. If the guardian knights of the family are not cultivated since childhood, they are not credible at all. The wandering knights can only be used as mercenaries. But apparently it was too late to brainwash Adam.
As for forcing a freedman to sign a master-servant contract to become a slave or retainer, there is no doubt that it will cause a strong backlash from the people in the territory.
But if Adam was left in another way…
“Ophelia, you know, if you pass the qualification test and leave, the family will suffer losses.” Earl Johnson said slowly.
Ophelia sneered, she had guessed what her father was going to say, ‘Sure enough, I’m just a valuable cargo. ’
Earl Johnson continued: “The loss of a great knight, the family has lost a lot, and now you want to take away another genius who can definitely become a great knight, I can’t accept it. I think you should think about the family, I heard that the boy named Adam was your childhood playmate, and you should be able to convince him to serve the family, right?”
Ophelia said coldly: “No, Mr. Count, Adam is a free man, not your slave. He has the right to choose, and I have no way or qualification to influence him. As for me, sir, my name is Ophelia Johnson, my last name doesn’t change if I become a mage or not.”
Then she sneered unabashedly, and then said: “Sir, you should clearly know the talents of your two sons, so the mage Ophelia Johnson is the real umbrella of the Johnson family.”
After you die. Ophelia didn’t say these last words, she just said to herself in her heart.
Earl Johnson suddenly raised his head and stared at his little daughter, his muscles swelled with anger, the steel armor made a creaking sound, Ophelia looked at him without showing weakness, this father had completely rejected her of disappointment.
After staring at each other for a while, Earl Johnson didn’t say anything more, and waved Ophelia to leave. He knew that his daughter was right, and he also knew that after his death, the family without the great knight was just a piece of fat. Meat, the talents of the two sons are not enough to support the family to continue to rule the Northland, which is why he acquiesced to Ophelia to pursue the path of the mage, the family needs deterrence.
“Daughter, why are you a daughter?” Earl Johnson sighed while sitting alone in the spacious hall.
Ophelia walked out of the city lord’s mansion calmly, the warhorse Dark Cloud stood proudly outside, very spiritually aware of the master’s depression, neighed softly and rubbed the master’s face with his big head.
Ophelia patted it and turned on her horse: “Let’s go.”
The atmosphere in the manor’s dining hall is eerie.
Adam is still sitting alone, with the food piled up in front of him, and he eats it meticulously. The energy contained in every ounce of food is not wasted, and it is perfectly absorbed under Adam’s complete control of the body. strengthen his physique.
And beside Adam were the servants who were lying on the ground in various places, their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen, the air was constantly pumping from their mouths, and the intense pain made them unable to even get up and leave. The bearded man Joe fell down by the door with his head down, blood all over his face, if it weren’t for the heaving chest to prove that he was still alive, he looked like a dead man.
The ointment was really helpful to Adam, and it strengthened his physique to a normal level overnight, but Adam knew that there would be no second ointment for him to use in the short term, so these ordinary foods It is an important source of energy.
So the opposite situation happened like this. Adam, who was often robbed of food, took the initiative to attack this time. After knocking down all the servants cleanly, they enjoyed their food with peace of mind. These servants were vulnerable, No resistance.
Every muscle in Adam’s body is trembling with a tiny frequency, and this way to achieve the purpose of exercise, but: “It’s not enough. The energy obtained from low-level food cannot be used for the practice of breathing.”
After eating the last piece of brown bread, Adam sat on the chair and started to practice breathing. The momentum was still huge. The energy of No. 3 rushed to enter his body, and a faint red light rose.
Others were terrified. They had never seen this level of energy reaction in any knight’s cultivation in the manor. They finally knew the gap between themselves and Adam.
After just five minutes of Adam breathing with all his strength, his body had already produced an overload response, and the energy obtained from the food was exhausted. Adam stood up silently, his cold and emotionless eyes swept across the crowd on the ground, and the servants endured the pain. Back and forth, they even thought that Adam would choose to eat them, and they were relieved until Adam left the cafeteria~IndoMTL.com~ cursed in a low voice: “Damn, this bastard, monster.”
In fact, Adam didn’t have the idea of eating them. In Adam’s heart, he was not the same as them at all. There was no mentality of ‘can’t eat people’. ability to bear the consequences.
Adam picked up his basket and sickle and walked out of the manor. Today he brought an extra pair of flints.
In this relatively closed environment, a message is conveyed very quickly. Now everyone knows that the fool who used to have no sense of existence and was most used as a joke has turned into a genius, and the person who doesn’t believe it is also yesterday. The steadfast confirmation of the knight attendants on the training ground was dubious.
Adam received the attention all the way. He heard that Miss Ophelia had been making things difficult for him after the two young masters saved him. The people who often made things difficult for him put away their minions. Bian Xiao ran over to open the side door for him, not even a word of nonsense.
She happened to meet Ophelia who was returning and saw Adam in all his clothes. She instantly understood the bad taste of the lower-level servants, and also knew what Adam was going to do. After a moment of hesitation, she did not give any explanation. Said: “From today you don’t need to feed my horses for me.”
Adam looked up at Ophelia without speaking, and walked in the direction of the wilderness in silence. Ophelia didn’t wait for Adam to answer, and the two passed by.
The manor is getting smaller and smaller behind Adam. He didn’t take the familiar path, but walked into the deeper wilderness. The snowflakes falling from the sky heralded the end of the late autumn in the north, and the long time to come. of winter.
And Adam needs to hunt down as many beasts as possible before the snow completely covers the land.
