When the moon was at its peak, Colin made arrangements for the rest of the day and went back to the house to rest.
Another week has passed.
In the stone house.
Colin sat by the bed, raised his left hand, then held the knight's sword lying aside with his right hand, and tentatively cut his left palm.
The metal sword edge passed by the palm of my hand, but it was not damaged!
He pressed the tip of the sword against his palm, gradually increasing his strength, and the skin on his palm continued to dent.
It wasn't until the strength of an ordinary adult man was added that Colin felt a slight sting.
He stopped trying, closed his eyes and felt the life energy in his body that was completely different from the magic power.
Just now, he successfully broke through to the Great Knight.
The life seeds in the body first collapse into surging blood, which spontaneously circulates and transforms the body.
This process lasted two hours.
During this period, he not only coughed up a large pool of black and yellow thick phlegm, and defecated a lot of indescribable filth, but he also broke out into a stinking sweat mixed with impurities, and even shed layers of skin!
Then, the surging blood gathered in the chest again.
From then on, the blood energy can move according to his heart, and he also has a new ability - blood energy armor.
When blood covers the skin, an invisible layer of armor is formed.
After several attempts, Colin roughly figured out the strength of the blood armor.
It is roughly equivalent to wearing a layer of cowhide armor, which is weaker than the witchcraft steel armor in terms of its ability to protect against physical attacks, but it has a certain ability to resist mental attacks.
Overall it's pretty good.
Of course, what makes him most happy is the increase in life span after breaking through.
The solar breathing method tends to increase energy, and energy is naturally inseparable from vitality. He speculated that he should be among those who increased his lifespan the most.
According to the general age range of 130 to 150 for great knights, he can live to be at least 145 years old now.
145 years is a very long time. For someone with a shorter life, he might have been reincarnated three times.
Just as Colin was lying on the bed, relaxing and thinking for a while, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"who?"
Colin straightened up and walked to the door and asked.
"It's me, Charlie."
A familiar voice came.
Colin was a little surprised. After he refused Charlie's solicitation last time, Charlie said he would come to him again in the future.
But in fact, he never saw Charlie again after that... He thought Charlie had given up recruiting him.
Colin pondered for a moment and opened the door.
Charlie was standing outside with a smile, still flanked by Owen and Haywood.
"Long time no see, Charlie. What do you want from me?" Colin asked calmly.
"Long time no see, Colin." Charlie greeted with a gentle tone, "It's been so long, have you thought about it?"
Without waiting for Colin to answer, he took the invitation from Owen behind him and continued:
"Don't rush to answer me. I know you still have some doubts about the news I told you before."
He thrust the invitation into Colin's hand.
"At eight o'clock tomorrow night, the remaining people who have not joined the mutual aid club will come."
"When the time comes, I will produce definite evidence to prove to you what I said."
He patted Colin on the shoulder.
"Wait until you see the evidence and then tell me what you think."
After saying that, he left without any hesitation, as if he was going to the next apprentice.
The silhouettes of the three people gradually disappeared into the distance.
Colin closed the door, looked at the brown invitation in his hand, thought for a moment, shook his head, lit it casually, and threw it into the kitchen stove next to him.
Although he was curious about the evidence Charlie mentioned, he would not take the risk.

The next evening.
Inside a residence in Blackstone City.
Charlie was sitting in the main seat. He looked at Owen standing at the door and asked with his eyes.
"No one is coming." Owen shook his head, frowning on his thin face.
"Close the door." Charlie ordered expressionlessly.
The heavy wooden door creaked shut, and Charlie turned back and glanced at the five apprentices in front of him.
"Where's the evidence you're talking about, Charlie?" One of the male apprentices asked first, folding his hands on his chest and speaking impatiently.
Charlie invited them here, but he didn’t say a word, and he didn’t know what kind of medicine he was selling!
Charlie did not answer, but stood up and walked to the wall behind him, and respectfully opened a secret door.
A middle-aged man wearing a black robe slowly walked out of the shadows.
"Well done, Charlie." He said calmly, waving his right hand at the same time, and an invisible barrier enveloped the entire house.
At this time, the male apprentice no longer looked impatient, and the questioning voice stopped abruptly.
Even a fool can tell something is wrong at this point!
"How dare you, Charlie!?" Another female apprentice couldn't help shouting.
Another male apprentice decisively started casting spells.
The middle-aged wizard chuckled, stopped and looked at the apprentice who was casting the spell quietly.
After a few seconds, a ball of magic power gathered in the hands of the male apprentice, but then dissipated violently.
Charlie winked.
Heywood, who had been waiting beside him for a long time, received the signal and quickly stepped forward to hold down the male apprentice.
The strength of the male apprentice and junior knight was completely helpless under his hands.
"Stop struggling pointlessly. It's impossible for you to unleash witchcraft here." Charlie reminded him calmly as he looked at the other apprentices.
"Don't hurt each other's lives. This is the rule of the school! Aren't you afraid of being blamed by the school?! Charlie!" shouted the male apprentice who was pressed on the brown table.
Charlie ignored it, turned around and respectfully took a piece of brown animal skin paper from the middle-aged wizard, and whispered expressionlessly while walking towards the male apprentice:
"Don't worry, none of you will die, and the school... won't find out either."
The apprentices all turned pale. With their status as a Lapp school, they never thought that one day they would encounter danger on the island.
Even they will be kicked out of the school in a month.
Now, there are people on the island who dare to challenge the authority of the school...
Half an hour later.
"...Then I will go back to the school first, sir." Charlie said respectfully.
Heywood, Owen, and the other apprentices were standing behind him silently.
"Go." The middle-aged wizard calmly ordered, "I remember you said there is still an apprentice you haven't finished yet..."
"Within two days, sir, I will definitely take care of him within two days." Charlie quickly said in a deep voice, "According to me, even if he doesn't believe it in his heart, he will still leave some traces."
"Although... I don't know why, he didn't come this time and didn't give me a chance to show evidence.
But now all the apprentices except him have joined the mutual aid association. I believe that as long as I invite other apprentices with him, I will definitely succeed in one fell swoop!"
"After all, joining the mutual aid will benefit him without any harm. He has no reason not to join!"
"Well... you go back, remember not to show off your lies."
"Also, be prepared. I will help you advance in a week."
"Yes, sir!"
Charlie answered respectfully again, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes.
