Let’s get back to the topic.
After breaking through the peak of the apprentice knight, Krober planned to practice breathing techniques in one go to try to touch the threshold of a formal knight.
During the process of an apprentice knight breaking through to become a formal knight, the person breaking through will draw vitality from his own body to condense a life seed. Often, some apprentice knights who lack sufficient foundation or are older do not have enough vitality to condense into a fighting spirit seed, which will lead to failure in the breakthrough.
Although a failed breakthrough will not endanger one's life, it will damage the body's foundation. The magic potion that replenishes vitality is generally in the hands of a few nobles, such as the Golden Rose Family where Krober's mother belonged.
Krober was not trying to break through to become a formal knight here, he just wanted to experience the sense of Qi through breathing techniques. Generally speaking, after finding the sense of Qi, the chances of breaking through to become a formal knight are greater.
Experiencing the feeling of Qi is not about gathering fighting spirit, but can be understood as a way to calm the mind.
The greatest benefit of a trainee knight's realization of Qi during the breakthrough stage is that it can make the vitality in the body more peaceful, so that less vitality can be consumed when condensing fighting spirit. Under normal circumstances, it may consume 10 vitality, but after realizing the Qi, it can consume 9.5 vitality.
Even though the amount saved isn't much, no one dares to bet that they just need this little bit of vitality to successfully break through.
"Krober, you've missed your meal again because of training. I want to see if a knight who doesn't eat can actually mount a horse and kill the enemy."
A light and cheerful voice came from behind Krober.
As soon as he finished speaking, a girl in a light green dress came to Krober with a personal maid carrying a tray.
"Christina, my dear sister."
Krober gently hugged the girl. She was Krober's third sister in this life, Christina Oats, who was also a not very favored child.
There are a total of four children in this generation of the Deepwater Neck Oats family.
Crocker Oats, the eldest son of the Oats family and the future heir to Deepwater Territory, is the most trusted and favored by the Baron, but his talent is not very good. He is already 28 years old but still an apprentice knight. It is said that the Baron has planned to spend a lot of money to buy a bottle of potion to help Crocker break through the bottleneck.
Klaus Oats, now 25 years old, is the Baron's second son. He serves in the Knights of the Red Flame under the command of the Baron's lord, Earl Stephen. When he returned home last year, he revealed that he had been promoted to a formal knight and served as the Deputy Knight-General in the Knights.
Christina Oats, now eighteen years old, is the third daughter of the Baron and the third sister of Krober. Her knightly talent is not very good. Due to the Oats family's bad habit of looking down on women, Christina has been stuck at the stage of a mid-level knight's squire.
Christina, his third sister, is one of the few people in the entire Oat family who treats him well. The other one is Foster Woodshield who has always been by his side to take care of him.
Foster Woodshield is a knight who follows Krober's biological mother Lilith. He is an official knight. When he was young, he was a member of the Knights of the Golden Rose Family. After swearing an oath to follow Lilith Golden Rose, he came to Deepwater Territory.
According to common sense, when the nobles who followed him died, the knights had the right to return to their previous place, especially since Foster was a formal knight. Even with the size of the Golden Rose Family, he was considered a backbone force.
I don’t know whether it was because Krober’s face was too similar to Lilith, or because Foster’s chivalry did not allow him to see the Oats family abusing an innocent child like this.
Especially since this child was the last one born at the cost of his master's life.
Foster believed that the cause of his master's difficult labor could not be a newborn baby.
On the contrary, he even believed that it was his lord Lilith Golden Rose who sacrificed her life in exchange for the birth of this child.
This child is the heir to everything of his master, so he should use his life to protect the master's most precious existence and safety.
Similarly, Foster's idea is also the idea of the vast majority of the Golden Rose family.
Because Krober is very similar to Lilith in both appearance and personality.
The entire Oat Family's cold treatment of Krober made the Golden Rose Family very dissatisfied with them.
To be honest, Krober's elder brother, Crocker Oats, was actually quite kind to him when Krober was young, but ever since Krober showed his outstanding talent in knight training, Crocker has never been nice to Krober again.
Krober could also understand it. It was simply because of his outstanding talent that he felt that his status as heir was threatened.
He understood it, but he was helpless about Crocker's narrow-mindedness. He was an heir of nobility with such a narrow mind. Not to mention that the eldest son inheritance system was deeply rooted in this world, he himself looked down on this poor barony.
If they can't even show this, then the next generation of barons will probably not be able to lead the family to achieve any great achievements.
Krober sat down on the ground without caring about aristocratic etiquette. He picked up the food on the plate and started eating.
An oatmeal pancake, a one-pound piece of monster meat, and a bowl of fish soup—this was Krober's ordinary meal.
Compared to his father and brothers, Krober's food was really simple. Not to mention the oatmeal cakes, this pound of monster meat, an important source of physical strength, was the spoils that old man Foster got from hunting in the border forest.
As for the fish soup, it is caught from the deep-water lake in the territory, which is also the origin of the name of Deepwater Territory. The freshwater lake that occupies a quarter of the territory is also one of the larger freshwater lakes in the principality.
Compared to ordinary people, this meal is quite sumptuous, but for Krober, who inherited the bloodline of the Oat Family and the Golden Rose Family, this kind of meal should not appear on his table. It is a shame!
Oh, he doesn’t have a dining table either, so whatever.
Krober didn't care about this so-called shame, but this was the rule of this world. He was still weak and could only obey and could not resist.
He could only express his "correct" attitude to old Knight Foster and the members of the Golden Rose Family who sent him training resources every month.
Krober ate the roasted monster meat with big mouthfuls while listening to his sister's loving instructions.
This has become a normal part of his daily life.
However, the arrival of a figure broke this simple and warm scene.
"Master Krober, Miss Christina, the master wants you two to attend a meeting in the castle."
