"Because of me?" Ellie muttered doubtfully.

"Yes, that's right!" Roger smiled and continued: "Yesterday you were injured when you were attacked. In the end, you fell to the ground due to exhaustion. I picked you up and put you in the carriage.

The blood of the elves was stained on my skin and was inexplicably absorbed by me, giving me the ability to revive life inexplicably."

After a pause, Roger explained: "Of course! It was Ms. Shirley who treated your injury and put a bandage on it. Thanks to her, otherwise I would have been in trouble."

As soon as the bandaging was mentioned, Shirley snorted and turned away. She suspected that Roger was making fun of her. She was obviously an assistant to the consul and not a doctor or priest. How could she know how to treat others?

"The blood of elves...absorb?" Ellie closed her eyes and tried hard to search for the memories in her bloodline, and thought of many magic props or abilities that can absorb other people's blood and gain other people's abilities.

However, Roger seems to be just an ordinary human knight!

Ellie suddenly opened her eyes, her emerald green eyes staring closely at Roger. The weak seed of life suddenly appeared in her eyes, making her even more certain of this.

According to the strength of vitality, Roger's current situation is indeed that of a stronger ordinary human being. Moreover, because of the lack of vitality, he is now a bit weak. If he does not cultivate well for a few days, his progress in knight training may be affected.

"Do you have the talent to copy other people's abilities by absorbing their blood?" Ellie said bluntly. She wanted to find out the answer, which was very important to her.

Roger shook his head slightly and said tactfully: "I don't have any magical talents. Our Reinhardt family is a newly rising aristocracy. I am the second generation member of the family. And my father seems to be just because

He successfully practiced the breathing method and gained enough military merit in the kingdom's war to become a noble."

Ellie looked sideways slightly, her expression a little disappointed, but she quickly cheered up. Since she could absorb it once, she could definitely absorb it a second time. She was a little eager to give it a try. If Roger could absorb her blood and gain more abilities unique to elves.

, then is there hope...

[Elven Ellie’s favorability is increased by 9 points, the level of the skill “Resurrection of Life” is raised to Lv.20, and the level of “Elven Archery” is raised to Lv.10.]

Roger was a little surprised by the sudden increase in favorability. It seemed that his words aroused a lot of interest in Ellie?

Ellie nodded slightly and began to quiet down and stopped talking, but from time to time she raised her head and looked at Roger lovingly, which made Roger feel very strange. Are the elves here all the ones in the Elf Forest?

Taking a look at Ellie's figure without leaving any trace, Roger discovered that although Ellie was still wearing the shabby gray robe, her uneven contours were not obscured by the gray robe. Instead, the curves of her body were vaguely outlined.

A little more tempting.

"Hmph!" Snow Girl Shirley snorted coldly, bringing Roger back from his reverie, and he quickly began to sit upright, closing his eyes and falling asleep.

[The favorability of Snow Girl Shirley increases by 3 points, and the level of the skill "Territory Management" is raised to Lv. 5.]

'My tsundere snow secretary,' Roger thought with a snicker in his heart. Shirley is really cold on the outside and hot on the inside. But this time, her favorability has increased. It seems that this is her first time managing Shimmer Town. It's pretty good.

Got her approval.

If you want to increase Shirley's favorability, developing the size of your territory is the most important thing.

Thinking of this, Roger quietly opened his eyes, lifted the curtain of the car window and looked outside. In the wheat field, Mayor Root and a group of people were humming and picking up the fallen wheat stalks.

There were a lot of people, including more than a dozen young adults, but not all of them were Lute's people. Roger deliberately selected a few more people to join the escort, lest Lute would jump over the wall and fall out with him directly.

In that case, Roger had no choice but to let Anna kill them all. After all, no one wanted a group of rebels with ulterior motives lingering around.

Killing is not the best way, but the stupidest way. The population of the Glimmer Territory is too small, so Roger does not want to use killing to achieve the deterrent effect of the lord unless it is a last resort.

Therefore, the most important thing at the moment is to cultivate your own personal guard.

Roger closed his eyes again and focused on the shimmering breathing method in the imprinted backpack.

Last night he briefly checked out the Knight's Breathing Technique. Although it can only be practiced to the knight stage, the side mission just now also gave Roger the answer. As long as he develops his territory, he can still obtain higher-level Glimmer Breathing Technique in the future.

And this portion, although it is a breathing method from Lv.1 to Lv.10, is enough to train the personal guards.

In this world, the resources required to train a knight are not a simple amount.

Regardless of the knight's breathing method, it is firmly controlled by the noble class. If you want to obtain the breathing method, you can only work for the nobles and achieve great military exploits, or you can be lucky and get one from the sky.

Roger doesn't recommend stealing or robbing. After all, even trainee knights can fight several of them. You, a serf who doesn't have enough to eat, don't even think about getting the breathing method from the nobles through illegal means.<

/p>

Secondly, if you want to become a knight through practicing breathing methods, you need to spend a lot of time and food. Energy is not generated out of thin air. The knight's fighting spirit is also a power derived from absorbing the magic power contained in the air and combining it with his own life source.

Take the wolf girl Anna as an example. She eats about ten pounds of meat in an average meal. This does not include other foods such as bread. Ten pounds of meat alone is enough for ordinary people to struggle.

Roger's current food intake is about two to three pounds. The more he eats, the more energy he can supply for the practice of breathing.

Of course, there are not without shortcuts. For example, this painful way of eating meat and practicing cultivation is not suitable for the noble and elegant aristocratic grandfather.

As the upper class in the entire social structure, nobles generally like to drink magic potions to stimulate the seeds of life. These magic potions have many complicated names, such as life essence, and are basically controlled by the royal family of each kingdom.

.

Every year, a certain quota is given to various nobles who apply in advance, so the number of knights in the kingdom is also firmly controlled by the king.

As the son of an earl, Roger naturally used the highest quality magic potion. Unfortunately, his physical talent was too poor. The magic potion he drank did not absorb much at all. It only slightly strengthened his physique and made him a trainee knight.

Not even the seeds of life have awakened.

To put it nicely, it’s called a trainee knight, but to put it worse, it’s a knight’s squire.

After all, you are just a little stronger, you are no different from ordinary people.

A true knight is a strong man who can inspire his own fighting spirit. Although the knight stage can only attach fighting spirit to weapons, such enchanted weapons are invincible killing machines on the battlefield, and ordinary people cannot resist them.

Training knights takes time, effort, and resources. This was not part of Roger's original plan. After all, his limited resources were not enough to support his own training, so there was no money left to train other knights.

However, the shimmering breathing method gave Roger the confidence. This breathing method, which Roger underestimated, has a different practice method from other breathing methods.
