Chapter 106: Stealth Technique 2
"Hmm? Secret technique?"
Looking at the yellowed thin book in Bernard's hand, Gervis widened his eyes in disbelief. Although the value of the secret skills was not as high as the Dou Qi cultivation method, it also depended on the situation. For example, some special secret skills were much more valuable than the "Basic Dou Qi Method". After all, one more big move meant one more means of saving one's life.
Although Gervis has not yet used Professor Nashen's critical triple sword slash in actual combat, its power has been tested. It is definitely a sure-fire way to defeat the enemy when the two sides are evenly matched.
Bernard had already handed the book to Gervis, so he was no longer polite. The temptation of the secret technique to him was much greater than a dozen gold coins, so Gervis reached out and took the book without hesitation. After taking the book, he saw the five words "Stealth Secret Technique 2" written on the yellowed book.
"How come there is a secret technique in this area?"
After repeating the title of the book several times in his mind, Gervis was a little confused. However, after all, it was something from the Hammer Family and it was also a genuine secret skill. Gervis no longer hesitated and directly opened the yellowed cover and carefully checked the contents.
This book "Secrets of Stealth II" is consistent inside and out. It looks thin on the outside, with only five pages inside. The pages have both pictures and text descriptions. There is only one skill described, which is how to converge the fluctuations of one's own realm.
When Gervis had read all the descriptions and understood the unique uses of this skill, he felt extremely excited. He could guess the realm of cultivation in this world as long as he could see it face to face with his naked eyes. No matter how high or low the cultivation was, as long as he became a Title Knight, there was no way to hide his identity as a Title Knight. Otherwise, Alchemist Brian would not have to run to this remote place in Storm Territory to hide in such an embarrassing way.
However, this book "Secrets of Stealth II" teaches people how to compress the fighting spirit within the sea of ââââqi through the special method of running the qi channels. In this way, when the fighting spirit is not used, others cannot detect that the person using this secret technique is a titled knight. With the help of this secret technique, the practitioner can hide his or her own practice. The deeper the practice, the more secretive it can be.
Of course, if the realms of the two sides are too different, some clues can still be discovered. For example, when the Bronze Knight faces the Gold Knight, he can basically not hide, after all, the Gold Knight's five senses have been greatly enhanced.
"Bernard, are there other volumes of this secret technique?"
The special secrets in this book "Stealth Secrets 2" aroused Gervis' great interest. He really wanted to know what other supporting secrets there were besides this secret of concealing strength. If Bernard had any, he would not mind making some deals with Bernard.
"My Lord, I'm sorry, as far as I know, the Hammer Family only got this manual of "Stealth Secrets II" and they didn't have the rest, so I can't answer your question."
After Gervis took the book, Bernard waited quietly for Gervis to flip through the book. When he heard Gervis' question, he shook his head and answered his question.
"A single copy?"
Gervis was greatly disappointed and regretted that he could not obtain the other volumes of the secret manuals.
When Bernard answered, Gervis observed Bernard carefully and did not detect any signs of lying on his face. It was basically certain that Bernard was telling the truth and that this secret book was indeed a single copy.
"Bernard, have you ever practiced this secret technique?"
Suddenly, Gervis thought of a terrifying possibility. He stared at Bernard and felt a chill on his back.
"My Lord, I have indeed practiced!"
Bernard looked at Gervis's expression and knew that Gervis must have noticed something, but he did not show any other expression and remained calm. When he took out this unique book, he thought that Gervis would notice something, so he did not intend to hide it.
"Hiss~"
Gervis took a deep breath. This damn world is really dangerous. He originally thought that Bernard was just an excellent blacksmith with an extraordinary surname, but he didn't expect that he had hidden his strength. If he was like other nobles, bossing Bernard around like a commoner, he would definitely suffer a great loss. Although he didn't know the other party's strength, he was stronger than himself anyway. He was a newbie who had just broken through not long ago. If Bernard wanted to plot against him, he would definitely not be spared.
After getting Bernard's clear answer, Gervis instantly figured out why he felt Bernard was unfathomable when he faced him. He also knew why Bernard could be so calm and composed when he saw him, because he had the force to back him up.
Bernard was not afraid of his identity, nor of his title of knighthood. How could he make such a person afraid of him? If it were not for the church, Bernard would have become a guest of honor by joining any nobleman.
"What a surprise! I didn't expect there was a titled knight hidden in my territory. Bernard, may I ask what your current level of cultivation is?"
After figuring everything out, Gervis tried to calm himself down and asked Bernard.
However, Bernard did not answer Gervis' question with words, but smiled and told Gervis with practical actions. Suddenly, a layer of spiritual light appeared on Bernard's body, which was a manifestation of fighting spirit leaving his body. Bernard's aura was even stronger than the oppressive feeling that Alice gave to Gervis.
The flash of inspiration was fleeting, and when Bernard put away his fighting spirit and used his stealth skills, he turned from a powerful silver knight back into an ordinary blacksmith.
"My Lord, please forgive me for hiding the truth from you. I have disturbed you for so long today! I will take my leave now!"
When he put away his fighting spirit and saw Gervis's surprised expression, Bernard stood up, bowed respectfully to Gervis, and said goodbye.
"You've given me a great surprise, Bernard! Thank you for your secret technique, and I'll see you later!"
Gervis had no objection. Being with a man who could kill him in an instant made Gervis feel very uncomfortable. But fortunately, his relationship with Bernard could be considered friendly for the time being, and Bernard also had a son, Alex, so he didn't have to worry too much about him doing something bad to him.
Of course, from Bernard's incident, Gervis also realized that becoming a bronze knight was not something to be complacent about. He had only changed from a small ant to a small reptile. If he wanted to live safely and happily in this world, he still had a long way to go.
"Goodbye, Lord." Bernard did not change his behavior in front of Gervis because his strength was exposed, and he remained respectful to Gervis.
After bowing to Gervis, Bernard walked out of the room. Thomas had already arranged a butler outside the door. When the butler saw Bernard, he immediately led the way and took him out of the castle.
"call!"
"What kind of thing is this! Even the blacksmith is a hidden character. Fortunately, he has no ill intentions towards me!"
After Bernard left, Gervis relaxed and sat back on the sofa, complaining in his heart that the amount of information tonight was too much, which really shocked him as a time traveler. He always thought he was knowledgeable and was familiar with the plots of the Sweeping Monk and Hidden Figures, but he didn't expect it to happen to him today.
"It seems that if I want to live a carefree life, I still need to practice hard. It's a pity that I lost 10 energy points. My heart is bleeding!"
Bernard's incident made Gervis feel a sense of crisis, which reminded him of the 10 energy points he spent last night, making him feel like his heart was bleeding.
"I hope the stinky kiwi fruit is worth the 10 energy points. I worked so hard to get them."
"Let's find a chance to try it out in the wild tomorrow! I want to work hard to improve my strength."
After muttering a few words, Gervis stopped thinking about it, picked up the book in his hand, and began to read and practice.
This secret technique of concealing one's strength has no offensive power, so there is no need to go to a special training space. Gervis can practice it while sitting in the study.
Gervis witnessed the terrifying effect of this secret technique from Bernard. Gervis estimated that Bernard had practiced this secret technique to a very high level, otherwise how could a Silver Knight disguise himself as an ordinary person.
As he was thinking about it, Gervis became so eager that he opened the book and couldn't wait to practice according to the descriptions in the pictures and text.
