The Witcher: Darkness Falls

"Maybe there are other reasons..." Leon thought again.

The essence of the Knight's Breathing Method is to allow the body to resonate with the world through a specific breathing frequency, thereby absorbing the power of chaos and subtly transforming the body to make it stronger.

Wizard meditation can increase mental strength and expand the body's capacity for magical power.

The magic power itself is the power of chaos transformed through magic seeds.

Perhaps, mental power is also evolved from the power of chaos?

It’s hard to say. According to the wizard, everything in the world is evolved by the power of chaos.

Of course, many human scientists hold a negative attitude towards this, believing that the power of chaos is fake and is used by wizards to fool the public.

But it is undeniable that Lyon himself is now undergoing a wonderful change, which is inseparable from the power of chaos.

The knight's breathing method, the wizard's meditation method, and the magic seed, these three complement each other and should be maintained by the power of chaos.

As for the principle, Lyon certainly cannot figure it out, and he does not have the ability or conditions to do so.

But that doesn't stop Lyon from being proud of his discoveries, which may not be reliable.

Graf was gnawing on the other half of the deer's carcass. He raised his head and looked at the grinning Leon in confusion.

Leon ignored Graf's gaze. The wolf could not understand the special feeling of "no one else knows, only I know".

Leon stood up, took down the almost roasted venison and cut it into pieces with a dagger.

At this time, the role of the Ether Ring comes into play.

Leon discovered that the Ether Ring could only store dead objects, and the shelf life of the food stored in it could be greatly extended.

The venison he couldn't finish could be stuffed in after it was roasted and cut, and then eaten the next day.

In this way, no food will be wasted, and he can be guaranteed to have sufficient food source to practice the Knight's Breathing Technique.

Leon left one thigh and bit it happily, while constantly adjusting his breathing, practicing the knight's breathing method while eating.

He felt that his body was stronger than it was half a month ago.

Now, with his strong physique and the magic seal, he should not be weaker than McLaren.

Unless McLaren has other means, Lyon roughly estimates that he can fight McLaren on equal terms.

"I remember Stregobor said that the knights in ancient times were also divided into different levels in terms of strength, including apprentice knight, knight, great knight and titled knight. Which stage am I in now?" Leon pondered.

Unlike wizards, the wizard's inheritance has not been cut off, so it is possible to find a way to measure the wizard's level.

According to Stregobor, the knight's inheritance was broken. Even the elves, the race that was suspected to have created the knight's breathing method, did not have a complete inheritance.

Leon thought about the pure-blooded elves he had met. Their strength was not much greater than that of humans. They only had a great advantage in speed and had a strong talent in archery.

This also confirms what Stregobor said, the formal knight inheritance within the elves has been broken, and the elves who can practice the incomplete knight breathing method are only a minority, most likely nobles.

Nowadays, knights are the lowest level of nobility. It is just a title and has nothing to do with strength.

But this was not the case in ancient times. There were beings who were as powerful as wizards, or even more powerful than wizards to some extent.

Logically speaking, such a heritage should not be cut off.

If the elves still had such a heritage, they would not have failed in the war with the dwarves for control of the continent in ancient times.

They will not be defeated by humans who join later.

Leon couldn't figure it out, and he was too lazy to think about it now.

He wanted to know more about what stage he was in as a knight.

"Hu——" Leon let out a long breath. He felt that his body had temporarily reached saturation.

This shows that the knight's breathing method today has also reached its limit.

"Graf, we will reach Tegamo tomorrow, and you can just take me out of the city. I saw on the map that we are not far from Metina, so you can go back first.

Thank you very much for your help during this time, thank you." Leon breathed a sigh of relief and said to Graf gratefully.

Graf looked up at him and then went back to chewing his venison.

But Leon knew that Graf must have understood what he meant.

Wolves are very smart animals, Leon has long been aware of this.

In the wild, he would rather encounter some powerful monsters than face a pack of wolves.

But the intelligence of the gray wolf Graf still surprised Leon, perhaps it was the subtle influence of him being with Visenna all the time.

It is also possible that Graf is a mutant individual among the wolf pack. Its body size is larger than most wolves Leon has seen, and it can carry him for hundreds of kilometers. This is very terrifying.

As long as the mutant individuals within a population are benign, they can have a huge gap in intelligence compared to ordinary individuals.

Leon felt that Graf was one of these animals. It couldn't speak and even barked very rarely along the way.

But the more this happens, the smarter Graf appears.

Graf was eating venison, while Leon was leaning against a tree, closing his eyes and preparing to rest.

During this period, Graf even took on the job of night watch. His hearing was very sensitive and he would open his eyes at the slightest sign of trouble. This made it safer than for Leon to keep watch by himself.

Therefore, Lyon still trusts it very much, and today is no exception.

Suddenly, Graf stopped chewing.

Leon opened his eyes and looked over. He saw Graf raise his head, sniff the air, then stand up and whisper a warning.

"Woo!!"

Leon immediately stood up, drew out his steel sword, and adjusted himself to combat status.

He knew that Graf must have smelled danger in the air, a smell that was beyond his sense of smell.

However, looking at Graf's condition, although there was danger, it didn't seem to be very scared.

Leon guessed that it might be a wild beast, such as a brown bear. When the beast got close, he could use the Igni Sign to scare it away.

A few minutes later, a scream suddenly came from the front.

"Help! Ah! Help! Wuuuu!"

“Help me! Ah!!”

A woman's voice!

At the same time, Leon also heard a very familiar cry.

“Ah ...

"It's a goblin!" Leon's face changed and he rushed towards the direction of the cry for help with his sword in hand.

Graf followed with a growl, and Leon said quickly, "You have to be careful not to get bit by them, or you will die quickly!"

Graf hummed to show that he understood.

The man and the wolf ran towards the cry for help, and soon they saw a group of goblins on the road, and two women they were holding!
