I have a role in the heavens

If knight attendants want to stimulate the awakening of bloodline power, there are many methods. In addition to formal knight training, physical exercise, and willpower, they can also stimulate the awakening of bloodline power through some magical means.

Although magic is taboo on the continent ruled by the Southern Church, it is not so strict for some big nobles. They can also use some magic products, such as magic lamps and magic potions, but these things cannot be widely advertised. It's swaggering, so it's not a problem to use it secretly in private.

Among the magic potions, there is a "Crying Soul" potion that allows high-level knight attendants to directly stimulate the power of blood. This potion is a product developed by ancient magicians in order to meet the need to quickly cultivate low-level servants under certain circumstances. It stimulates bloodline power at the expense of overdrafting the body's potential, so it has a strong negative effect. Once "Crying Soul" is used If you want to be promoted to a knight, you will no longer be able to improve your bloodline strength through training, and your strength will be worse than that of a normal knight.

But for some aristocratic children who have little hope of becoming knights, this is not a big problem. It is within an acceptable range. They can quickly improve their strength in a short period of time, stimulate bloodline power, and become knights without bringing shame to the family. Therefore, this kind of thing is repeatedly prohibited, which is a way for some nobles to maintain their family power.

Of course, the materials required for the "Crying Soul" potion are not simple. They are either very expensive or very strange. It would be difficult for ordinary knight families to collect the same medicinal materials.

Moreover, the person who takes the potion needs to have a physical constitution that reaches the standard of a normal adult. Only after drinking the magic potion can success be achieved. The better the physique, the higher the success rate.

The Crying Soul Magic Potion is an outstanding achievement of necromancy magic. The simple magic equation is: black corpse mushroom + water ghost brain tissue + resentment dust + moonlight rose powder = Crying Soul

The ingredients here are black corpse mushrooms, which are strange mushrooms that grow on rotting corpses. Before they are mature, they are milky white. After they mature, they all turn black within a day. They can last for a month without withering. The smell is slightly hallucinogenic. If you eat it directly, you will be poisoned by the rotting corpse. The darker the black corpse mushroom is, the better the effect of the "crying soul" will be.

The brain tissue of the water ghost is the brain tissue of the undead creature water ghost. The stronger the water ghost, the better the effect of the "crying soul" finally refined. The same is true for the resentful spirit dust.

Moonlight rose is an extremely rare plant that emits a silvery, moonlight-like color at night. It plays a supporting role in stimulating the blood power of high-level knights and attendants. Therefore, it is very expensive, with one gram costing one gold. , that is, one hundred silver Naels, and if you want to use potions to stimulate the bloodline power, you must add more than ten grams to the refining magic potion. If it is a high-level knight attendant to stimulate the bloodline power, according to his own ability, five grams to fifty grams Grams don’t wait.

Of course, Ivan Vincent does not need to use magic potions to stimulate bloodline power. He is just because his body is still too weak and his will and soul have reached the standard. As long as he carries out momentum training step by step, it should be easy to awaken the bloodline power. , promoted to become an official knight.

After today's knight training, Ivan Vincent said goodbye to Camilo, went to the study, and began to study cultural courses, from history and art to astronomy and geography, management and economics to legal provisions. The life of a noble is beyond imagination. So easy, fulfilling and compact.

Ordinary people who want to learn do not have this opportunity. Ivan Vincent needs to spend a lot of money to learn these things. The teachers of each course are well-known scholars in Aalto City, and they charge two gold thalers every month. , this is enough to cover the expenses of a civilian family for two years. All courses cost hundreds of gold thalers a year. Ordinary people will never earn so much money in their lifetime.

Ivan Vincent is extremely intelligent and has an extremely strong spirit and soul. He does not need to expend too much energy from his teachers at all. As long as these scholars and teachers give a little guidance, he can draw inferences from one example and his learning progress is far beyond imagination.

Time always passes quietly. Half of the dusk sun has dropped below the horizon. The orange-red glow reflects the sky magnificently. The breeze floats slightly, and the white magnolia planted in the manor carries a faint fragrance, quiet and cold. Ivan Vincent sat quietly at the dining table and looked at his father, Earl Vincent, who was at the head of the table.

Count Vincent is a famous handsome man in the Principality of Violet. He is a gentleman who is so handsome that girls can scream. He is even more mature than other young people. His facial features are three-dimensional, as if carved by a knife, with clear edges and corners, and deep eyes. , as broad as the sea, with a strong and straight nose, lips that are neither thin nor thick, just right, with long golden hair and mature sunshine, he is definitely a charming uncle, so this Count Vincent has many lovers, all of them are beautiful. They are all ripe peaches.

Count Vincent's character is not rigid, he is even too smart. The chief financial officer of the principality, after a busy day's work, has dinner with his son Ivan Vincent every evening, unless there are other important official matters, even if It was his beautiful lovers who had made an appointment, and he would not go to the appointment at this time.

"I heard from Camilo that your swordsmanship is already very good. As long as your physical fitness improves, you can awaken your bloodline power and officially become a knight!"

Count Vincent put down the knife and fork in his hand and wiped the corners of his mouth gracefully. He was full of aristocratic etiquette and grace, an absolute gentleman, and a trace of satisfaction flashed in his deep blue eyes. He only had such a son, so naturally He has high hopes for Ivan Vincent, hoping that he can become a powerful knight, inherit the family's honor, and support the family's appearance.

Ivan Vincent's performance did not disappoint him. Not only was he very talented in knight training, he was also very smart. He also learned other knowledge very well. With such an excellent heir, he would not have to worry about the future. The future of the Vincent family is at stake.

"Yes, father, I have now reached the bottleneck period. It takes time to temper my body to the level where it can stimulate the power of my blood!"

Ivan Vincent quickly put down the knife and fork in his hand, chewed the tender and juicy steak in his mouth a few times, swallowed it in a hurry, and then answered his father's question.

"Ivan, you have to understand that you are the son of a count and the only heir of the Vincent family. You don't need ordinary civilians to go through time to develop your body to a strong level. We are the rulers of the continent and aristocrats. He has advantages that ordinary people don’t have and controls a lot of resources!”

Count Vincent had a bit of pride on his face, his eyes were bright and bright, and he was educating and giving guidance to Ivan Vincent unhurriedly.

"I will ask Grand Duke Violet for a magic potion for you, a gift from the knight. This magic potion is extremely precious. It is a magic potion that has just been created in the Kingdom of Holm in the north, the headquarters of the Continental Magic Council. It can help you strengthen your physique and strength without damaging your potential, so that you can reach the level of stimulating the power of your bloodline!"

Ivan Vincent's eyes swept outside the restaurant door. Magic is taboo in the southern continent. As Earl Vincent talked about it, he also needed to be careful that the walls had ears and would cause trouble.

Count Vincent saw Ivan Vincent's reaction in his eyes and nodded happily. With a bright smile on his face, he waved his hand and continued to talk to Ivan Vincent.

"Don't worry. Although the church is powerful, it will not dare to attack the nobles just because of such a trivial matter. We are not civilians after all!"

Count Vincent did not show any awe for the church, nor did he devoutly believe in the glory of the Lord. His expression was very cold, with a wise light flashing in his eyes, and his expression was dark. Under the illumination of the magic lamp, light and shadows appeared on his face. The intersection made it difficult for people to see his face clearly, and his voice was low and firm.

"Ivan, it's time for me to teach you some things. You must keep in mind what I said. These are knowledge that even scholars and professors cannot teach you. Knowledge that only a great noble can know! "

When Ivan Vincent heard this, his expression moved slightly, he straightened up, looked at his father with a solemn expression, and quietly waited for Count Vincent to speak.

A gleam flashed in Count Vincent's eyes. He looked at his mature and steady son and said solemnly.

"There are two forces fighting each other on the mainland. Since the establishment of the Continental Magic Council, they have been fighting openly and covertly with the Church. Although the Church is more powerful, it still cannot completely defeat the Magic Council. On the one hand, the Magic Council is powerful; on the other hand, it is It is also because this is a balance maintained by all forces, and they are not willing to let teachings unify the entire continent, so there will be no room for other forces to survive!"

"Wizards, magicians, vampires, warlocks, druids, and dark creatures in the ancient magic empire are not willing to let the church become the overlord, so they will lose their space for survival. Although these forces are not as powerful as the church and the magic council, they still have There are close to ten legendary strong men, holding back a lot of the church’s power and unable to use all its power to fight against the Magic Council!”

"Whether it is the southern continent or the northern continent, the nobles rule the civilians and control the military, politics, people's livelihood, and economy. They are the third party that can affect the balance of the northern and southern continents. When the nobles unite, their power is not weaker than the church and the Magic Council. , so both sides are wooing the nobles, hoping that we can support them!"

"Although the king's power is divinely authorized, the church is relatively tolerant of the nobles. As long as they don't openly oppose the church and collude with the Demon Council, they will not make it difficult for the nobles to use some magic props and magic potions!"

Count Vincent pointed to the magic lamp on the table next to him, with a slight smile on his face, and said again.

"This magic lamp is basically found in the homes of the great nobles, and the church has never caused trouble because of it!"

Ivan Vincent nodded thoughtfully after hearing this. He could understand everything Count Vincent said. To put it bluntly, both the Magic Council and the Church of Truth need to win over aristocratic forces that can break the balance of the situation, so for Nobles are more tolerant and not harsh.

Earl Vincent was a little surprised to see that Ivan Vincent could understand what he said, but he did not show it and continued.

"Our nobles in the south support the church, and the nobles in the north support the Magic Council. But in the final analysis, we only support the interests of the noble class. If the church no longer respects the nobles one day, then the nobles in the south will also abandon their support. The faith in the gods falls into the arms of the Magic Council!"

"Back then, when Grand Duke Violet was still Count Violet, you must have heard the love story of Grand Duke Violet, right?"

"Of course I have heard of it. Grand Duke Violet's love was sung by many bards on the mainland. When he was young, he went to the Kingdom of Holm across the Storm Strait. As a result, he fell in love at first sight with the king's princess, the only daughter, and later overcame countless obstacles. The evil obstruction finally became an enviable companion."

Ivan Vincent recounted all the relevant information in his mind. The love story of Grand Duke Violet was widely circulated among the people and was basically a household name.

"Then do you know who that evil force refers to?"

Count Vincent had a somewhat cold expression on his face and a somewhat strange meaning as he asked his son a question with deep meaning in his words.

Ivan Vincent rolled his eyes slightly, analyzed it in his mind, and suddenly a look of surprise emerged, and he blurted out excitedly.

"It's the Church of Truth!"

Earl Vincent was stunned for a moment, and had a deeper understanding of his son's intelligence. He nodded silently, with a little more appreciation in his expression, and continued to ask.

"Tell me, how did you guess it?"

Ivan Vincent exhaled a breath, his face was full of confidence, he leaned forward slightly, approached Earl Vincent above, sorted out his thoughts and words, and then said.

"The Principality of Violet is the center of the church's northwest defense system, and it is also the bridgehead. The Kingdom of Holm across the Storm Strait is the headquarters of the Continental Magic Council. The two sides should be mortal enemies, but the position of the nobles is that they are only loyal to the nobles. Classes don’t put eggs in one basket, that’s why the marriage between Grand Duke Violet and Princess Holm came about!”

Earl Vincent raised his hands and patted them gently a few times. This was a sign of applause, expressing his admiration for Ivan Vincent's wisdom, and said with a smile.

"You are right. Although the Grand Duke and the Duchess are in love, they also have political considerations. This matter was strongly obstructed by the church, but it still failed. The nobles will never allow the church to interfere in the affairs between nobles!"

"Father, you said you could ask the Grand Duke for me to obtain the knight's gift. This kind of magic potion should also be related to the Kingdom of Holm!"

Ivan Vincent said very confidently, his body gradually relaxed. He finally clarified the relationship between the nobility and the church. Both sides check and balance each other. Although the church is strong, it must also respect the rights and freedom of the nobility. The nobles would not be tied to crosses and burned as recorded in the books.

"Yes, the Grand Duchess was born in the Feinberg family. Their family gave birth to a legendary Grand Arcanist. She is one of the seven Grand Arcanists of the Continental Magic Council, the 'Elemental Dominator' Yarolan Hathaway. Your Excellency Hoffenberg!"

"I see. No wonder the Kingdom of Holm supports the Continental Magic Council and allows them to settle here. It turns out that someone in their family is one of the founders of the Magic Council and one of the first magicians to study arcane arts."

The Grand Arcanist is the highest honorary title held by the Continental Magic Council. Only those who have made theoretical contributions in the field of magic that have changed the development of magic and the times can be awarded this title. However, because those who have received this title are either legendary magicians themselves, or they have become legendary magicians not long after with the full support of the parliament, and in the field of legendary magic, those with the title of Grand Arcanist are better than ordinary magicians. Legendary magicians can grow faster, as if there are not too many advancement obstacles, so the title of Grand Arcanist represents the most powerful legendary magician. Even if it is not now, it will definitely be in the future!

"Tonight, there will be a concert in the Chant Hall. Grand Duke Violet and his daughter Count Violet will attend. You go with me, and I will take the opportunity to ask the Grand Duke for a knight's gift potion. Let you activate your bloodline power as soon as possible and be promoted to an official knight!"

"Count Violet is the same age as you. He is also a genius who practices knighthood. Now he has awakened the power of blood and became a first-class knight. He took the gift of knighthood!"

A cunning look appeared on Count Vincent's face. He had other plans in mind. Ivan Vincent and Count Violet were the same age and had suitable identities. If they could get married, the heir to the Duchy of Violet would become the heir in the future. He is a descendant of Ivan Vincent.

Ivan Vincent naturally didn't know Count Vincent's thoughts and calculations, but he was also very curious about Count Violet. The only daughter of Archduke Violet had actually been promoted to a first-class knight. She was so talented that he gave birth to a child. A bit competitive.

"Got it! Father!"

Ivan Vincent also wanted to be promoted to a knight as soon as possible. He nodded after hearing this and was looking forward to this concert.

Earl Vincent nodded, stood up and was about to leave the restaurant, but Ivan Vincent suddenly thought of something, looked at his father expectantly, and said.

"Father, since the nobles are not afraid of the church, can you find me a magician's training method?"

Earl Vincent stopped immediately, his deep eyes were full of majesty, his gaze was sharp, like an eagle, extremely bright, his brows were furrowed, and he said in a deep voice.

"Ivan, you should understand that the foundation of our noble life is the way of knights. Magic is the domain of spellcasters. Don't be too ambitious!"

"Also, although nobles are not afraid of the church, they still need to abide by some unspoken rules. Magic is a red line and cannot be practiced!"

Ivan Vincent hesitated for a moment after hearing this, his eyes fluctuated with ripples, his brows furrowed slightly, he thought for a moment, and then said firmly.

"Father, I don't need too advanced magic knowledge, I just need a set of training methods for magic apprentices, just to satisfy my curiosity!"

"Are you serious?"

Count Vincent had a gloomy look on his face, and it was hard to tell what he was thinking deep down. He looked at his son seriously and asked in a low voice.

"Father, isn't the noble position only loyal to the noble class?"

"Nobles need to control power in order to maintain their transcendent status. Power does not distinguish between north and south. Whether it is a magician or a knight, they are all controllers of power. They are just different extraordinary professions!"

"Didn't the Hoffenberg family also give birth to a legendary great arcanist?"
