Chapter 836 - 379: The Path of the Legendary Knight
...
...
Late night.
Morning Fog Town, the fog thickens.
In the military camp, the soldiers who worked hard all day are already resting.
Gang Le and Kael sit by the town’s fence.
They just finished patrolling the post.
The fog limited their view, and both worried about ghouls ambushing under the cover of mist.
"It’s a shame we can’t drink," Gang Le lamented.
He grinned while looking at the sky,
"Otherwise, after the battle, drinking to one’s heart’s content is the best thing in this world."
"Forget about drinking, Lord Gang Le,"
Kael said seriously, "Unless we annihilate the enemy completely."
"Otherwise, we must stay vigilant after the battle, the enemy might launch a sneak attack while we are exhausted."
Kael looked at Gang Le, continuing,
"The Emperor has decreed that no alcohol consumption is allowed in the barracks."
"Although uncomfortable, it’s the right choice."
"Kael, I was just lamenting, not really wanting to drink."
Kael’s words made Gang Le’s expression pained,
"You’re always nagging. My ears have grown calluses."
"You talk even more than the woman at my place."
Gang Le grumbled, shaking his head.
"You’re the legion commander, even saying it is not acceptable."
Kael lectured once more: "You should adhere to military regulations, respect them, and set an example for all the soldiers."
"Huh? Shouldn’t the higher the rank, the more freedom one has?"
Gang Le retorted, "I remember when I was in the Northern Border City’s defense army."
"The former officer just drank, ate meat, and played with women every day."
"Where did so many rules come from?"
Gang Le sighed.
Kael remained silent.
But the smile on his face and his gaze showed a disdain for such things.
"Look at you, I just hate this noble disdain you have."
Gang Le pointed at Kael, "That look of contempt."
He paused, sighed,
"Ah, alright, I admit."
"Indeed, those noble troops were remarkably weak."
After speaking, Gang Le bumped Kael’s shoulder,
"Thanks for your help today, huh."
He pulled out a wooden box from his chest, "Here, it’s for you."
"What is it?"
Kael was stunned for a moment, then shook his head,
"I don’t need a gift."
"Among comrades, cooperation is expected."
"Only this way can we entrust our backs to each other."
Kael stated righteously.
"You really don’t want it?"
Gang Le asked, "Don’t you want to know what’s inside?"
Kael firmly shook his head.
"Alright then." Gang Le put the wooden box back in his chest.
"Sigh, then my efforts were in vain."
Gang Le sighed, "This thing cost me all my merits, and I had to use many connections, big favors!"
"Only then could I jump the queue to get it!"
Gang Le opened the wooden box, staring at the palm-sized metal bottle inside,
"Perfect Knight Roar Potion, supposedly contains Dragon Blood."
"Specifically for top-tier knights, extremely difficult to make."
"Other top-tier knights are waiting in line for it."
Kael’s eyes widened.
He stared tightly at Gang Le, "Is it effective for top-tier knights?"
"You’re not deceiving me?"
He knew about Knight Roar Potions.
But most ordinary Knight Roar Potions were for advanced knights.
"Am I that kind of person?"
Gang Le countered, and then explained, "I told you, it’s special, made specifically for top-tier knights."
"Ordinary knights would explode and die from using it, meaning, they’d perish from the strain."
Before he finished, Kael suddenly grabbed Gang Le’s arm, trying to snatch the Perfect Knight Roar Potion.
Gang Le was taken aback,
"What are you doing?"
"Didn’t you say you didn’t want it?"
Gang Le smiled.
"No, I want it."
Kael said very seriously.
"No, you said you didn’t want it, I planned to return it."
Gang Le pulled the box back, "Weren’t you saying we’re brothers? You don’t need a gift?"
"No, I want it!"
Kael’s expression was extremely earnest.
He directly pressed Gang Le, beginning to snatch it.
"Don’t fight, it’s yours!"
Gang Le stood up, frowning, "Ah! Aren’t you the graceful noble?!"
At this moment, Kael turned a deaf ear to Gang Le’s words, keeping his eyes fixed on the small bottle in the box.
With this potion, Legendary Knight would no longer be a dream for Kael!
The Empire stipulates, those who reach the pinnacle of top-tier knight strength,
the Emperor will arrange for the promotion to Legendary Knight.
Provided one’s physique is strong enough, the breath cannot increase during Breathing Technique Cultivation,
and signs of breath mutation appear.
Otherwise, one would not survive such a promotion process.
"How should this be used?"
Kael asked eagerly.
"Just drink it straight."
Gang Le reminded, "But be sure to drink it when you’re in your best condition."
"Don’t drink it after consuming alcohol or sleeping with a woman, it might knock you out, resulting in failure."
He paused, continued,
"Additionally, this process will be somewhat lengthy, the weaker one’s physique, the more painful it is."
"Especially since your bottle is special, containing Dragon Blood, it might be even more painful."
Gang Le looked at the fog enveloping Morning Fog Town outside,
"The situation is tense now; I suggest you avoid drinking it for the time being."
Kael nodded vigorously.
Then he solemnly stood up, bowing to Gang Le.
"Thank you, Commander."
"Your kindness, I will certainly repay."
"Alright, alright."
Gang Le waved repeatedly, somewhat speechless, "Look at you, I didn’t demand anything from you."
"I’ve wasted my life, otherwise I wouldn’t have given it to you."
Gang Le sighed, "I’m still just an Intermediate Knight."
