"Heaven goes to the left, warriors go to the right."
Goethe stood in the middle of the castle's martial arts arena, murmuring a sentence he had heard in his hometown.
Enmle Ke couldn't help but nodded when he heard this.
"That's right!"
"Heaven goes to the left, a warrior goes to the right - living towards death is the warrior's journey!"
“Start with the first baptismal ‘grinding’!”
"You need to at least reach the proficiency level of [Volibear Breathing Technique] and have talent, and then hunt a Bailey Bear alone with your bare hands - using its heart as the core to complete this ritual."
"When you complete this ritual, you will automatically become proficient in a weapon."
The second son of the Grand Duke informed Goethe about the core, process, and ritual drawings of the ‘grinding’ ceremony, etc.
It can be said that the Grand Duke’s second son said everything about the entire ceremony.
[Accepting special knowledge, judging...]
[‘Volibear Breathing Technique’ has reached the expert level, and the judgment has been passed! 】
[‘Heart’ ≥ 0.3, the judgment is passed! 】
[Bailey Bear’s heart, the judgment failed!]
[Yes/No to consume 2 copies of ‘Bloody Honor’ to replenish Bailey Bear’s heart?]
…
The text in front of me told me that the second son of Archduke Goethe had nothing to hide.
At the same time, Goethe was also surprised to find that [Bloody Honor] could actually supplement the ritual!
This made Goethe overjoyed.
Goethe knew very well what this meant, which meant that he could complete the ritual more easily!
For example: When faced with a crisis, he did not have time to search for Bailey Bear. Using [Bloody Honor] as a supplement and completing it directly is the only choice. Or even simpler: If the ritual is not to find Bailey Bear in the North,
A sharp bear, but something like a legendary creature?
Of course, this is likely to consume a lot of [Bloody Honor], but it is not impossible to complete.
Goethe thought.
The words of the Grand Duke's second son continued.
"The first ritual is 'Tempering', and the second ritual is 'Bloodbath', which requires you to have defeated an opponent who is at least equally matched, preferably stronger than you, and must be completed by a single person. Of course, further talent is required -
After completing this ritual, you will initially gain control over your Qi and blood, allowing you to burst into a short-term burst of greater combat power."
As he spoke, the Grand Duke's second son's whole body burst into red light.
The brilliance was fleeting, but in that moment Goethe felt like he was facing a formidable enemy.
That is exponentially more powerful!
"This is the Qi and blood that I only strengthened after I completed the 'Warrior'. It has an initial burst and cannot reach this level."
"Under normal circumstances, it can be about 20% stronger."
The second son of the Grand Duke explained, and the text in front of Goethe continued to appear.
[Accepting special knowledge, judging...]
[Defeat a powerful opponent alone and pass the judgment!]
[‘Heart’ ≥ 0.6, judgment failed! 】
[The ‘sharpening’ ceremony was not completed and the judgment failed!]
…
This time there is no [Bloody Honor] as a supplementary option.
Goethe was not surprised by this.
[Bloody Honor] is not omnipotent.
Of course, it is absolutely impossible for him not to have [Bloody Honor].
As for defeating a powerful opponent alone?
Goethe had many opponents in his mind.
If those in his hometown were included, he had experienced similar situations dozens of times.
"The more well-matched opponents you defeat, the better the ritual will be."
"Fight to the death?"
"You need to defeat your opponent in desperate situations!"
"At least once!"
“The more the better!”
"At the same time, you also need to go through a battle with a huge disparity in numbers - you will face alone a team of at least a hundred well-trained people. If you defeat them, you can complete the final baptism ceremony and become a real 'warrior'!"
"At this time, you will receive an all-round strengthening, the weapon proficiency you master will increase again, and the burst of energy and blood will also increase accordingly."
The second son of the Grand Duke paused after saying this.
The words in front of Goethe appeared again.
[Accepting special knowledge, judging...]
[Comeback from desperate situation, judgment passed! 】
[Battle with huge disparity in numbers, judgment passed!]
[‘Heart’ ≥ 1.0, judgment failed! 】
[The ‘sharpening’ and ‘blood bathing’ rituals have not been completed, and the judgment has not been passed! 】
…
A comeback from desperation?
A battle with disparity in numbers?
All passed!
Only [Heart] did not meet the requirements. Looking at the word "passed", Goethe felt inexplicably, "Am I a born warrior?" - As for using a stick, a dagger, a revolver, and explosives to win?
Goethe automatically ignored it.
He just thought he was a qualified warrior.
Especially when he found that his 'warrior's road' was smooth, no one could deny his identity as a 'warrior'.
"As long as I find a 'Pele Bear' and use [Steinbeck Breathing Technique] to raise my [heart], I can become a 'warrior' overnight!"
"In fact, if [Bloody Honor] is enough, you don't even need to find Bailey the Bear!"
Goethe thought about his next plan.
Becoming stronger was not Goethe's original intention.
But Goethe wanted to live.
Strength is the best guarantee.
The second son of the Grand Duke did not disturb Goethe's thinking.
When he heard his father talk about this, he thought about it for a long time - not only accepting new knowledge, but also planning for his future life, all take time.
It was very hot in the north in early July, especially the exercise just now, which made Enmlek feel thirsty. Therefore, the second son of the Grand Duke prepared to get some snacks and water to recover his strength while waiting for Goethe.
However, Nina waved her hand to dissuade her.
The little princess who had been watching hurriedly ran to the kitchen.
When I came back again, tea and snacks had been brought.
This made the Grand Duke's second son smile.
"Nina, I saw a set of jewelry before that matches you very well. I will buy it for you later, okay?"
The second son of the Grand Duke happily drank the tea brought by his sister and ate the snacks sorted by his sister, and couldn't help but say.
Of course, this set of jewelry is not from the store.
But a set of legendary jewelry!
It is rumored that the wearer can stay young forever!
The place where the set of jewelry is located is quite dangerous. One of his men accidentally found out about it, and three good men died for it. However, compared with his sister, the second son of the Grand Duke would not put that kind of danger in his place.
heart.
So, he continued to search and arrange.
I originally wanted to give my sister a surprise on her eighteenth birthday, but I was so happy today that I couldn't help but reveal a little bit about it.
"Um."
Nina nodded, turned around and brought another piece of tea and snacks to Goethe.
This made the Grand Duke's second son a little dissatisfied.
Because he could see that his sister was very close to Goethe.
But then I thought about it. After Goethe appeared, my sister seemed to be a lot happier, and she suddenly became happy again.
As long as my sister is happy, this little thing doesn't matter.
The second son of the Grand Duke told himself this.
"Thank you, Nina."
Goethe took the tea with a smile, first drank half the pot in big gulps, and then started to pick up the snacks - this is a kind of pastry with nuts and raisins inside.
The crispness of the outer skin, the crunchiness of the nuts, and the sweetness of the raisins are surprisingly delicious when mixed together.
Goethe ate three snacks in one go.
Seeing Goethe devouring his food, Nina couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth.
Although it was fleeting, the second son of the Grand Duke saw it.
Immediately, joy appeared in the eyes of the second son of the Grand Duke.
My sister suddenly stopped smiling three years ago for some unknown reason.
He had privately pursued it more than once, but other than confirming that it seemed to have some relationship with those bastards in Tesin, he couldn't find anything.
It was precisely because of this incident that he made up his mind to organize his own dark forces.
No why?
The reason is to better protect your family.
They are not afraid of the sword on the surface.
It is the arrows in the dark that need to be watched out for.
"Do you want more?"
Nina asked softly, with a hint of hope.
"Well, okay."
Faced with delicious food, Goethe did not refuse.
Nina immediately turned around happily and ran to the kitchen.
This joy immediately made Goethe have a guess.
Did Nina make the snacks?
Then, Goethe saw the Grand Duke's second son take out a handkerchief, carefully wrap up his three snacks, and put them into his arms.
Undoubtedly, the second son of the Grand Duke also guessed it.
"You are lucky to catch up with Nina making snacks for the first time - if your father, brother and Gejir knew about it, they would definitely cry with envy."
As the Grand Duke's second son spoke, his expression became serious again.
"continue."
"While you remember what I said before, you must also remember what I say now."
“You know why I said ‘the more the merrier’ before?”
"Because every 'ceremony' is an opportunity for qualitative change for the baptizer, which is very rare."
"So, you must reach your limit at this stage before going for baptism, instead of blindly pursuing the number of baptisms and making meaningless superpositions. Otherwise, even if you complete three baptisms, it is still a parallel import, and it is likely that you will be baptized after just one
Kill the person who has been baptized to the extreme - my brother was the one who directly killed a guy who had been baptized three times when completing an extreme baptism, splitting him in half with one sword!"
"But more importantly, you will lose the possibility of advancing in the future!"
Advance later?!
Goethe was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses.
The ‘warrior’ after three baptisms is not the end.
Seems like a beginning!
"The 'warriors' of our Ke family have advanced to become 'berserker'."
With that said, the Grand Duke's second son threw a scroll.
"This is the Ke family's 'Inheritance Scroll' that my father asked me to give you - it can only be read once, and then the text will disappear. You must adjust your state and remember it firmly in your mind."
"As for the 'Berserker'?"
"After you reach the level of 'Berserker', father will teach you personally."
"Anything else you want to ask?"
The Grand Duke’s second son said.
Above Berserker?
What could that be?
Goethe was full of curiosity, but he also knew that the opportunity before him was rare.
"[Volibear Breathing Technique] What level is best to reach before performing the first baptism?"
Goethe asked.
"I was baptized after mastering 'Charge'. Gejir is the same as me. My father mastered 'Bloodlust', and my brother with the most talent mastered 'Thunderfall' - you and my brother are the same,
You can master [Volibear Breathing Technique] overnight, so you must master 'Thunderfall' before doing your first baptism."
"After completing this extreme baptism, our Ke family's already powerful body will be additionally enhanced."
The Grand Duke’s second son replied.
‘Bloodthirsty’? ‘Thunderfall’?
Is it an option for the master or unparalleled level?
still……
Reached the extraordinary level?
Goethe guessed.
And deep in his heart, he had already made a plan.
He wants extreme baptism!
After all, the situation in which Simler Ke slashed the baptizer three times with his sword in one extreme baptism had already made Goethe understand that the importance of foundation is not only a matter of potential, but also a matter of current strength.
Not only does he want to go fast, he also wants to go further!
Because, he still has [Bloody Honor]!
"The second 'bloody' baptism, my brother has defeated powerful opponents alone 13 times."
"The third 'death battle' baptism, my brother came back from desperate situations 6 times, and participated in 5 battles with disparity in numbers."
Instead of using his father as an example, he and Gergil took the example. The second son of the Grand Duke directly compared Goethe to the most talented brother in the family.
"What about talent?"
Goethe asked about the aspect of the heart.
"Talent cannot be described. In other words, except for the bastards of the Tesin royal family who have a technology that can accurately detect talents, most extraordinary families only know about it when they are actually baptized."
"Therefore, many extraordinary families will go to trade with the Tesin royal family to conduct talent exploration."
"But our Ke family?"
"You don't have to think about it."
"As long as you dare to expose the same talent as your brother, the Tesin royal family will definitely kill you and then quickly follow."
"So, before you complete three baptisms, you should keep a low profile - do you know how many assassinations your brother suffered after killing three baptizers with one extreme baptism?"
"29 times."
"But my brother is a pervert. The more he fights, the stronger he becomes. The last time, he directly completed the third baptism and became a 'warrior'. He killed two second-level men in a row, and then the assassination stopped."
The second son of the Grand Duke reminded Goethe.
29 assassinations?
The more you fight, the stronger you become?
Kill two level twos in a row with level one!
Fight to support war, jump directly to challenge!
Is this extreme baptism?
Goethe became more and more determined in his thoughts, and just when Goethe was about to continue asking some questions about baptism, the old housekeeper suddenly ran over.
After bowing and saluting, the old butler said with a serious face——
"Master Enmlai, Master Goethe, and Svetla have rebelled!"
