Volume 2: Boundless Walker Chapter 33: Unreserved inheritance of knowledge!
"warrior?"
"Heaven is to the left, warriors are to the right."
Goethe stood in the middle of the castle's parade ground, murmuring a sentence he had heard in his hometown.
When Enmlai Ke heard this, he nodded .
“That’s right!”
“Heaven is to the left, the warrior is to the right – living towards death is the warrior’s path!”
"Start with the first baptismal 'grind'!"
"You need to at least master Volibear's Breathing Technique to a proficient level and have a natural talent for it. Then, hunt a Volibear bear with your bare hands - use its heart as the core to complete this ritual."
"When you complete this ritual, you will automatically become proficient in one weapon."
The Grand Duke's second son told Goethe about the core, process, and ritual drawing of the "grinding" ceremony.
It can be said that the Grand Duke's second son told everything about the entire ceremony.
[Accepting special knowledge, judging...]
['Volibell Breathing Method' has reached the expert level, and has been judged as passed! ]
['Heart' ≥ 0.3, passed! ]
[Pele Bear Heart, judged as not passed! ]
[Yes/No to consume 2 copies of 'Bloody Honor' to replenish Bailey Bear Heart? ]
…
The text before him told him that Archduke Goethe's second son had nothing to hide.
At the same time, Goethe was surprised to find that [Bloody Honor] could actually supplement the ritual!
This made Goethe overjoyed.
Goethe knew all too well what this meant, it meant that he could complete the ritual more easily!
For example: When facing a crisis, he has no time to look for the "Bailey Bear", so using [Bloody Honor] as a supplement and completing it directly is the only choice. Or to put it more simply: What if the ritual is not about finding the Bailey Bear in the North, but something like a legendary creature?
Of course, this will probably consume a lot of [Bloody Honor], but it is not impossible to accomplish.
Goethe thought.
The Grand Duke's second son continued speaking.
"The first ceremony is 'Tempering', and the second is 'Bath of Blood'. You must have defeated an opponent who is at least as strong as you, preferably stronger than you, and it must be completed alone. Of course, you also need further talent. After completing this ceremony, you will have a preliminary control over your Qi and blood, which will allow you to burst out with greater combat power for a short period of time."
As he spoke, the Grand Duke's second son's entire body began to glow red.
The glory was fleeting, but in an instant, Goethe was facing a formidable enemy.
That is exponentially more powerful!
"This is the initial burst of Qi and blood that I strengthened after I completed 'Warrior'. It cannot reach this level."
"Under normal circumstances, it can be about 20% stronger."
The Archduke's second son explained, and the words continued to appear before Goethe's eyes.
[Accepting special knowledge, judging...]
[Defeat a powerful opponent alone and pass the test! ]
['Heart' ≥ 0.6, judged as failed! ]
[The 'grinding' ritual was not completed, and it was judged as failed! ]
…
This time, there is no [Bloody Honor] option as a supplement.
Goethe was not surprised by this.
[Bloody Honor] is not omnipotent.
Of course, it is absolutely impossible for him to live without [Bloody Honor].
As for defeating a powerful opponent alone?
Goethe had many rivals in mind.
If he counted the ones in his hometown, he had experienced similar situations dozens of times.
"The more equally matched opponents you defeat, the more effective the ritual will be."
"And fight to the death?"
"You need to defeat your opponent in desperate situations!"
"At least once!"
“The more the better!”
"At the same time, you will also need to go through a battle with a huge disparity in numbers - you will face a well-trained team of at least a hundred people alone. If you defeat them, you can complete the final baptism ceremony and become a true 'warrior'!"
"At this time, you will receive an all-round enhancement. The weapon proficiency you master will be upgraded again, and your Qi and blood burst will also be enhanced."
The Grand Duke's second son paused when he said this.
The words in front of Goethe appeared again.
[Accepting special knowledge, judging...]
[Desperate comeback, passed! 】
[The battle with a huge disparity in numbers is judged to be passed! ]
['Heart' ≥ 1.0 , judged as failed! ]
[Failed to complete the 'grinding' and 'bloodbathing' rituals, judged as failed! ]
…
A comeback from desperate situation?
A battle with a huge disparity in numbers?
All passed!
Only the [heart] did not meet the requirements. Looking at the word "passed", Goethe inexplicably felt "Am I a natural warrior?" - As for using a crotch kick, a dagger, a revolver, or dynamite to win?
Goethe automatically ignored it.
He considered himself a qualified fighter.
Especially when he found that his "warrior's road" was smooth, no one could deny his identity as a "warrior".
"As long as I find a 'Bailey Bear' and use the [Steinbeck Breathing Method] to raise my [heart], I can become a 'warrior' overnight!"
"In fact, if [Bloody Honor] is enough, there's no need to even look for 'Bailey Bear'!"
Goethe thought about his future plans.
Becoming stronger was not Goethe's original intention.
But Goethe wanted to live.
Strength is the best guarantee.
The Archduke's second son did not disturb Goethe's thoughts.
When he heard his father talk about this, he thought about it for quite a long time - not only accepting new knowledge, but also planning for his future life, all require time.
It was very hot in the north in early July, especially after the exercise just now, which made Enmle.K feel thirsty. So, the second son of the Grand Duke prepared some snacks and water to recover his strength while waiting for Goethe.
However, Nina waved her hand to dissuade him.
The little princess, who had been watching, hurried to the kitchen.
When I came back again, tea and snacks had been served.
This made the Grand Duke's second son smile.
"Nina, I saw a set of jewelry before that suits you very well. I'll buy it for you later, okay?"
The Grand Duke's second son happily drank the tea brought by his sister and ate the snacks that his sister had sorted out, and he couldn't help but speak.
Of course, this set of jewelry is not in the store.
It's a set of legendary jewelry!
It is said that the wearer can stay young forever!
The place where the jewelry was located was quite dangerous. It was discovered by one of his men accidentally, and three good men died for it. However, compared with his sister, the second son of the Grand Duke did not take that danger seriously.
So, he continued searching and arranging.
I originally wanted to give my sister a surprise on her eighteenth birthday, but I was so happy today that I couldn't help but reveal a little bit.
"Um."
Nina nodded, turned around and brought another serving of tea and snacks to Goethe.
This made the Grand Duke's second son feel a little jealous.
Because he could see that his sister was very close to Goethe.
But then she thought again, her sister seemed to be much happier after Goethe appeared, and she suddenly became happy again.
As long as my sister is happy, this little thing doesn't matter.
The Grand Duke's second son told himself this.
"Thank you, Nina."
Goethe took the tea with a smile, and after drinking half the pot in big gulps, he began to pick up the snacks - a kind of puff pastry filled with nuts and raisins.
The crispy crust, the crunchy nuts and the sweet raisins are surprisingly delicious when mixed together.
Goethe ate three desserts in one go.
Seeing Goethe wolfing down his food, Nina couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth.
Although it was fleeting, the Grand Duke's second son saw it.
Immediately, joy appeared in the eyes of the Grand Duke's second son.
Three years ago, my sister suddenly stopped smiling for some reason.
He had investigated privately more than once, but apart from confirming that it seemed to be related to those bastards of Tesin, he could not find anything.
It was because of this incident that he made up his mind to organize his own dark force.
No reason?
The purpose is to better protect your family.
They are not afraid of open swords and knives.
It is the arrows that miss in secret that we need to be wary of.
"More?"
Nina asked softly, with a hint of hope.
"Yeah, okay."
Faced with the delicious food, Goethe did not refuse.
Nina immediately turned around happily and ran to the kitchen.
This joy immediately gave Goethe some ideas.
Nina made the snacks?
Then, Goethe saw the second son of the Grand Duke take out a handkerchief, carefully wrap up the three snacks that belonged to him, and put them in his arms.
Undoubtedly, the Grand Duke's second son also guessed it.
"You're lucky to have seen Nina make her first dessert. If father, brother, and Gajeel knew, they would surely cry with envy."
As the Grand Duke's second son spoke, his expression became serious again.
"continue."
"While you remember my previous words, you must also remember my current words."
"You know why I said 'the more the merrier' earlier?"
"Because, every 'ritual' is an opportunity for qualitative change for the baptized, which is very rare."
"So, you must reach your limit at this stage before you go for baptism, instead of blindly pursuing the number of baptisms and meaninglessly stacking them up. Otherwise, even if you have completed three baptisms, you will still be a dud and will probably be killed by someone who has only undergone one limit 'baptism'. My brother once killed a guy who had undergone three baptisms directly when he completed one limit baptism. He cut him in half !"
"But more importantly, you will lose the possibility of advancing in the future!"
Then advance?!
Goethe was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses.
Becoming a 'warrior' after three baptisms is not the end.
Seems like the beginning of something!
"The 'Warrior' of our Ke family is advanced to 'Berserker'."
As he spoke, the Grand Duke's second son threw a scroll over.
"This is the Ke family's 'Inheritance Scroll' that my father asked me to give you. It can only be read once, and then the text will disappear. You must adjust your state and remember it firmly in your mind."
"As for 'Berserker'?"
"Once you reach the level of 'Berserker', your father will teach you personally."
"Anything else you want to ask?"
The Grand Duke's second son said.
Above Berserker?
What would that be?
Goethe was full of curiosity, but he also knew that the opportunity before him was rare.
"What level is best for [Vollibear Breathing] to reach before the first baptism?"
Goethe asked.
"I was baptized after I mastered 'Charge', just like me. My father was baptized after he mastered 'Bloodlust', and my brothers, who were the most talented, all mastered 'Thunderbolt'. You and your brothers were the same, both mastered the [Voliber Breathing Method] overnight, so you must be baptized for the first time after you master 'Thunderbolt'."
"After completing this extreme baptism, our Ke family's already powerful bodies will be further strengthened."
The Grand Duke's second son replied.
'Bloodthirst'? 'Thunderbolt'?
Is it a master or unparalleled level option?
still……
Reached the extraordinary level?
Goethe guessed.
And deep in his heart, he had already made a plan.
He wants an extreme baptism!
After all, the fact that Simlai K slashed three baptizers with his sword with one extreme baptism had already made Goethe understand the importance of foundation. It is not only a matter of potential, but also a matter of current strength.
He not only wants to go faster, but also wants to go further!
Because he still has [Bloody Honor]!
"During the second bloodbath, my brother defeated powerful opponents alone 13 times."
"My third baptism of 'death battle'. My brother has turned the tables 6 times from desperate situations and participated in 5 battles with a huge disparity in numbers."
Without using his father, himself and Gergiel as examples, the second son of the Grand Duke directly compared Goethe with the most talented elder brother of the Kluge family.
"What about talent?"
Goethe asked about the aspect of the heart.
"Talent cannot be described. In other words, apart from the bastards in the Tesin royal family who have mastered a technology that can accurately detect talent, most extraordinary families can only know it when they are actually baptized."
"Therefore, many extraordinary families will trade with the Tesin royal family to conduct talent exploration."
"But our Ke family?"
"You don't have to think about it."
"If you dare to reveal the same talent as your brother, the Tesin royal family will definitely kill you as soon as possible."
"So, before you complete the three baptisms, you should keep a low profile. Do you know how many assassinations your brother encountered after he killed three baptizers with one extreme baptism?"
"29 times."
"But my brother is a pervert. He gets stronger with each battle. The last time, he even completed the third baptism and became a 'warrior'. He killed two second-level warriors in a row, and only then did the assassination stop."
The Archduke's second son reminded Goethe.
29 assassinations?
The more we fight, the stronger we become?
Kill two second-level players with a first-level player!
Fight to support the enemy, and directly challenge the enemy at a higher level!
Is this the ultimate baptism?
Goethe became more and more determined in his ideas, and just as he was about to continue asking some questions about baptism, the old butler suddenly came running over.
The old butler bowed and said solemnly:
"Master Enmlai, Master Goethe, there is a rebellion in Lord Svetla!"
