Chapter 2: [Black Snake with Candle] and [Mad Knight]

Chapter 2 [Black Snake with a Candle] and [Mad Knight]

The basement floor of the castle.

An underground secret room that Levi never visited.

The mechanism stone table slowly protruded from the ground.

A worn-out parchment with a sense of age lay flat quietly, with scarlet paint painted on it with a variety of scribbled and random patterns of villains, with strange postures and different movements, forming a circle.

And on the periphery of these villains, there is a big snake with black scales that seems to be able to surround the entire castle. The big snake has an abstract shape, spits out a letter, and a simple candle stands on its jaw.

"This is the ancestral breathing method of the Sneaker family: the Black Snake breathing method. It is the powerful foundation of the Sneaker family, and the Sneaker blood flowing in your body is the key to all of this."

"This excellent quality breathing method is more precious than this Black Water Valley."

Knight Fred said solemnly.

Li Wei breathed heavily, he could finally embark on the road of real knight training!

As far as he knows, the knights divide the breathing method into four grades according to the subtlety and growth potential of the breathing method: superficial, excellent, perfect, and legendary!

Among them, 90% of the breathing methods are shallow breathing methods.

Practicing this shallow level of breathing, many people can only do nothing in the stage of knight servants throughout their lives, and cannot set foot in the realm of knights at all. Being able to condense the "seed of life", stepping into a formal knight is already stepping on dog **** luck, stepping into a great knight is basically impossible, for example, the "Villion Breathing Method" practiced by Fred Knight.

Of course, a good-quality breathing method is only a stepping stone to becoming a great knight. To become a great knight, you need 90% talent, 9% opportunity, and 1% sweat.

Perfect level of breathing is probably only possessed by those duke families, and there are not many kinds in the whole kingdom.

As for the breathing method of legendary quality, like legendary knights, it almost only exists in legends, so it doesn't matter if you don't mention it.

One of the important characteristics of breathing techniques above excellent quality is that most of the breathing techniques inherited from families require the blood of the family to practice. The specific reason is not clear to the knights. This type of breathing technique is also called "bloodline breathing technique". Or "secret cultivation method".

The Black Snake Breathing Method is a blood breathing method that belongs exclusively to the Sneaker family!

In history, there have been some knights who robbed other nobles of their ancestral breathing practice. The end result was either that the practice was mediocre for a lifetime, or the blood vessels in the whole body burst due to madness.

Some people say that this is the curse of those noble ancestors who blasphemed their families.

But Li Wei is not worried about this. He is a nobleman, with pure Snake family blood flowing in his body, and he is the "son of the black snake"!

The Black Snake Breathing Technique is too expensive, so Li Wei did not take it out of the secret room, but began to practice in the secret room under the guidance of Fred Knight. In this way, it took half a month.

During this period, Knight Fred has been accompanying him all the time. Although he doesn't know how to breathe the black snake, he has a lot of experience and is more than enough to teach Li Wei to get started.

On this day, Li Wei woke up from a strange posture. He didn't seem to have had any intense exercise, but he was sweating profusely, his veins were bulging, his face was flushed, and his breathing was short of breath.

He felt that the blood in his body seemed to be boiling, circulating metabolism at an extraordinary speed, the energy stored in his body was being burned crazily, and a feeling of extreme hunger came, making him want to eat a whole snow rabbit raw.

"Hungry!"

Li Wei said like a beast, low and hoarse.

When Knight Fred saw this, he had already prepared, and brought a plate of barbecue, a bowl of goat milk, and a large portion of white bread rolls, which were wrapped in a layer of delicious jam, and boiled cabbage.

Such a food combination includes carbohydrates, protein, and vitamins. In fact, the nobles in this world seldom eat vegetables. They think that the vegetables grown in the ground are inferior food, food for the poor, but Li Wei knows the importance of balanced nutrition, so every time he asks his servants to cook, it is a waste of time. A combination of meat and vegetables.

He inhaled the food in a storm, devoured it hungrily, his hunger disappeared, and his expression eased.

He just had a meal twice as much as a normal man, and he was only 80% full.

On the proficiency panel in his mind, new skills have appeared:

Levi Snyder———

Black Snake Breathing Method: Level 1 (1/1000)

…

According to Li Wei's previous experience, once a skill appears on the proficiency panel, it means that he has already started.

The next thing to do is to practice step by step to improve proficiency.

At the same time, mastering the breathing method is also a sign of becoming a knight attendant.

"Squire with shield, squire with sword, quasi-knight."

These are the three stages of apprenticeship before becoming a formal knight, collectively referred to as "knight attendant".

At the shield servant stage, in addition to the practice of breathing, you also need to learn the basic use of shields. Regardless of whether you need shields in the future, learning to use shields to fight is a compulsory skill for knights.

At the sword-wielding servant stage, you will start to learn real sword skills, not something like basic sword skills.

In this world, what can be called "skills" are extremely advanced combat skills, which require years or even decades of persistent practice, and are the most important thing for a knight to improve his strength besides breathing.

To put it simply, breathing method is the internal martial arts method, while sword skills or other advanced weapon skills are the means to exert the power of breathing method, which is the external method.

When the breathing method has achieved some success, you will be a quasi-knight. This is a crucial step, because the next step is to condense the "seed of life".

If it succeeds, it will open the sea and sky, and become an invincible official knight on the battlefield; if it fails, it will be even more difficult to unite again.

"It seems that the young master has initially mastered the Black Snake breathing method. Although the speed is much slower than your father's initial mastery in three days, it has reached above the average level in the history of the Black Snake family."

"In addition, you should also feel that when you really learn the breathing method, you will consume a lot of food every day in practice, so you must prepare enough food in advance before practicing in the future.

Otherwise, that exaggerated hunger will dominate your mind and destroy your will like a gluttony demon. Driven by a hunger instinct, you might do something wild and depraved. That's how many of the notorious "mad knights" who were burned at the stake by the Church came about.

These crazy wretches are basically civilians who want to practice knight breathing. They want to become stronger to protect their families, let them eat and clothe, and live a life of superiority.

They walked on the edge of madness again and again, thinking that they were different, that there would be many luck and miracles in the world, but in the end some ate their old father, and some ate their wives and children..."

Knight Fred said with complicated eyes.

He is a knight from a commoner background, he knows that feeling, so he is very grateful to his father Levi who rescued him at a critical moment.
