The next morning, before the sky turned pale, Kroeber got up early.
He slept extremely deeply last night, probably because he had been running around for the past few days and had not had enough rest. As a result, he slept so deeply that if it were not for his biological clock that was as precise as a clock, it would be difficult to wake him up.
At this moment, he was standing in the backyard of the tavern, holding a knight's sword and doing the most basic warm-up training.
The two young knight attendants, Will and Sam, who were serving on the side, had already become accustomed to their young master's training time and methods in the past few days.
"Will, when do you think I can break through to become a formal knight like Master Krober? Then I can become a nobleman with a manor or a knight's territory." Sam, who was a little plump, stared at Krober who was practicing fighting skills in the training ground with envy and muttered.
The tall and thin Will stood next to Sam with an expressionless face, but the eagerness in his eyes was no less than Sam's.
"Do you think everyone is as gifted as Master Krober? You know, we are both older than Master Krober, but he is a full-fledged knight, while we are just mid-level knight squires. We can't even be compared."
"If you ask me, we should just serve the young master loyally. Maybe he will remember our loyalty and give each of us a bottle of magic potion to help us break through. This would be much luckier than those guys who risk their lives to carry out missions."
Sam looked displeased as he listened to Will's sermon-like words.
"Will, I'm just envious of Master Kroeber's talent, but you're saying I'm unfaithful. If anyone else hears this, they'll drag me out and beat me to death."
But Sam's dissatisfied words did not cause Will to argue. He just watched Krober's posture during training, and waited to hand him a towel and clean water as soon as Krober finished training to fulfill his duty of service.
When Sam saw that Will ignored him, he felt like he had punched cotton. He could only watch Krober's training angrily, and made up his mind that he must be the first to hand the towel to the young master and not give Will the chance to show off.
At this time, Krober didn't notice the open and secret fights between his two servants. He was practicing fighting skills.
The Golden Blade, in Krober's hands, had long been honed on the road, becoming ever more skilled and powerful. At this moment, he was cultivating another fighting skill—the Golden Shield.
This fighting skill is more defensive, and only knights who have spent a certain amount of time in the formal knight stage are qualified to try it.
The basic requirement is to be able to completely cover the entire body or most of the body with one's fighting spirit. Although Krober has not yet reached the state of covering the entire body with fighting spirit, his control over fighting spirit far exceeds that of other official knights.
Therefore, he was able to focus his golden shields on key areas of the body, such as the heart and the joints of the limbs. This effectively prevented enemy sneak attacks, preventing loss of combat effectiveness due to injuries, and even preventing immediate death. This fighting technique was undoubtedly extremely practical on the battlefield.
The fighting spirit in his body moved slowly with his thoughts, and a golden film appeared at the joint of Krober's right hand.
Krober picked up the knight's sword and chopped it lightly, but the golden film directly blocked it outside.
While feeling the defensive power of the golden shield, Krober chopped down with even greater force with the sword in his hand.
When he used about 60% of his strength, Krober felt the golden shield on his right hand vibrate when it was chopped, and when he used about 80% of his strength, the shield shattered.
"I'm not familiar with the Golden Shield yet. Once I'm fully familiar with it, I estimate it can withstand almost 100% of my current strength. However, this is only limited to those who have just broken through to the level of a formal knight like me. Those who have been immersed in it for a long time or have strong physical fitness may not be able to use 100% of their strength. But it's also very good. After all, the strength of my current fighting spirit is not high. I'm only practicing the abridged version. Once my fighting spirit covers my entire body and the Golden Shield is complete, the strength will naturally be higher."
Putting the long sword in his hand on his waist and taking the towel handed to him by his squire Will, Krober prepared to go to the tavern to have a higher-calorie breakfast to replenish his energy for the morning's Knights' inspection.
Ever since Will and Sam were assigned to take care of Clober's daily life, Knight Foster has focused his energy on Clober's diet and his own cultivation.
Because Krober had talked to Knight Foster before, he hoped that Knight Foster had been stuck in the formal knight stage for too many years. Both emotionally and rationally, Krober hoped that Knight Foster could go one step further and break through to the realm of the Grand Knight.
Knight Foster also accepted Krober's order (so he thought), and from that day on, his training time was extended by several hours every day.
Arriving at the tavern hall, Krober ordered a grilled swift falcon meal, which was prepared for Knight Foster, and a golden yak steak, which was ordered for himself.
As for Sam and Will, they can just eat ordinary food. Only formal knights can gain an increase in physical fitness and total amount of fighting spirit by eating monster meat with the same attributes.
Eating it would only provide a little extra nutrition for the knight's squire, it's not worth it.
Didn't Krober eat monster meat when he was a knight's squire? That's different. It was to supplement more nutrition, because the food provided by Deepwater Territory at that time was only enough to fill you up and had very low nutritional value.
