Chapter 837 - 379: The Legendary Knight’s Path (Part 2)
"Becoming a legend can only happen in dreams."
"But you’re different—you only need two more steps, and you’re still young."
Kael looked at Gang Le and nodded slightly.
There was no comfort or persuasion.
But this made Gang Le somewhat displeased, "Come on, brother."
Gang Le glared.
"I disparage myself like this, and you just nod?"
"Where’s your noble elegance? All that’s left is bluntness?"
"Sorry, Lord Gang Le."
Kael solemnly apologized, "Please forgive my presumption, I couldn’t help it."
"Your knight initiation was too late."
"In fact, even if you were initiated at twenty, under the Empire’s glory, under His Majesty the Emperor’s protection—"
"You might also become a Legendary Knight."
Gang Le was silent for a moment.
He knew Kael was telling the truth.
The timing of a knight’s awakening is critically important.
The earlier you start training, the easier it is to tap into your body’s potential.
And he had already missed the best time.
"But it’s okay."
Kael stated earnestly, "Your son will definitely become a Legendary Knight in the future."
"Don’t exaggerate, my top knight."
Gang Le smiled and said, "My son is not even three years old yet!"
"You can already see now that he’ll become a Legendary Knight?"
"Certainly."
Kael nodded solemnly, his gaze far-reaching,
"The Empire is different now."
"If I may be direct, the Empire will have no fewer than twenty Legendary Knights in the future."
"And if the current trend continues,
"Legendary Knights will be everywhere; at least every corps commander will become one."
Kael had long seen the changes in the soldiers and knights within the Empire.
Everyone’s physique is enhancing, and their strength surpasses ordinary levels.
Moreover, the newly recruited soldiers are like this; almost everyone has the potential to become a knight.
It’s said to be due to the Empire’s glory and the Emperor’s protection.
But how it came doesn’t matter.
What matters is, if this impact continues,
Then based on previous experience, all current high-level knights, and even intermediate knights, can become Legendary Knights.
This number is extremely astonishing.
And judging by Gang Le’s physique, plus the women he fancies tend to be well-built and tall,
Kael can ascertain confidently that Gang Le’s child’s physique will be outstanding.
And the resources Gang Le can provide are equally exceptional; thus his son is bound to be a Legendary Knight.
Yet sometimes Kael wonders, what comes after legend?
After hearing Kael’s serious analysis,
Gang Le chuckled,
"I thought you were praising my son’s excellency."
"However,"
Gang Le promptly added, "But you really have a point."
"Actually, even early on in Frost Leaf Town, we sensed something unusual; His Majesty the Emperor brought changes to the entire town..."
Before Gang Le could finish, Kael immediately raised his hand to stop him.
He gazed intently at the mist-shrouded forest in the distance.
"Something’s not right."
Kael furrowed his brow, "I feel something’s off."
"What’s off?"
Gang Le looked ahead, "The patrol soldiers and posts are intact."
"There’s nothing unusual."
"That’s precisely why I think something’s off."
Kael continued observing the surroundings, "There’s a familiarity, yet disturbing aura."
"Aura?"
Gang Le asked.
"If you put it like that, then there’s truly an issue."
"After all, you’re a top knight; your perception is far sharper than mine."
"Lord, can you contact those spellcasters?" Kael asked.
"Certainly, I often drink with Lusen, we know each other."
"Can you get them to check the surroundings?"
"Alright."
Gang Le stood up without hesitation, "Follow me."
...
...
In the house.
Lusen sat on the bed in meditation.
When magic power is exhausted, it stimulates one’s potential.
This is the best time for meditation.
Therefore, in the evening, Lusen skipped dinner and went straight into meditation.
However, Lusen didn’t completely retreat.
He occasionally roused to see if any orders came in.
Lusen is now the Empire’s chief wizard, with numerous affairs to manage.
Like the materials from today’s giant ghouls and Black Knights’ corpses need to be reported to him once processed.
Besides, His Majesty Luo De might summon him.
Hence Lusen couldn’t fully immerse himself in his training.
"Lord Lusen."
Lusen awoke for the third time when a Guard came in to report.
"Miss Saraya is outside waiting for you."
"Why did she come here at such a late hour?"
Lusen felt puzzled.
He immediately got up and walked to the door.
Saraya stood cautiously at the doorway, accompanied by two guards and a maid.
Having come from the slums, Saraya is perfectly capable of taking care of herself, but to allow her to study at ease, Luo De has equipped her with attendants.
"What’s the matter, Saraya?"
Lusen looked down at the young girl and asked.
"Teacher."
Saraya spoke softly, "Teacher Lusen, I feel uncomfortable."
"Physically uncomfortable? Caught a cold?"
Lusen instinctively reached out to touch Saraya’s forehead.
Then he realized.
The young girl possesses the Holy Light talent.
Regardless of illness or injury, she should be able to heal herself.
She shouldn’t get ill so easily.
"How could you feel uncomfortable?"
Lusen contemplated and asked, "Is it your body that feels unwell, or is the Holy Light energy within you out of control?"
"It’s the Holy Light energy."
Saraya wrinkled her small face, "It’s constantly rampaging inside me, some of it is uncontrollable."
"Just feels very uncomfortable, I don’t want to stay here."
The young girl couldn’t accurately describe it at the moment.
"You don’t want to stay here?"
Lusen’s alertness heightened.
