Chapter 29: Sunan’s Strength is the Strength of Black Stone City
In the Autumn Month (October), Blackrock City already has a bleak feel.
Although it was still some time before the first snow, the air temperature had already become very low and no longer as hot as it was in the harvest month.
Four men in armor walked on the road in the vestibule of the inner castle, and the breath they exhaled formed a faintly visible white mist in the air.
The three younger men who fell behind had excitement and anticipation that were hard to conceal on their faces, as if something good was about to happen.
After walking for a while, one of them finally couldn't help but ask Qiaoton in front of him, "Sir Qiaoton, is there anything I need to pay attention to when taking that secondary dragon blood potion?"
Qiaoton looked back at the young man who was speaking, waved his hand and said, "Look at how nervous you are. Nearly a hundred people have taken the lesser dragon blood potion before you, and no one has had any problems. Just relax."
The young man scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "I'm not worried, I'm just excited. After all, if I drink that potion, I can be promoted to a knight!"
The other two also nodded excitedly.
After all, he is a knight!
The knights were known as fierce beasts on the battlefield and the reserve of the nobility! They had trained hard for many years just to be promoted to knights in their lifetime and bring honor to their family, but they never thought that this dream would come true so soon.
This made them feel like they were in a dream until now.
"Haha, I can understand your feelings. If it were a year ago, I would not have thought that there would be a potion in the world that could allow an apprentice knight to directly break through and become a knight. All this is thanks to Lord Sunan!"
When mentioning Sunan, Qiao Dun's tone was full of respect.
The three young men also subconsciously revealed expressions of awe and admiration.
Although all news about Lord Sunan in Blackrock City was strictly blocked, all (apprentice) knights who had taken or were about to take the lesser dragon blood potion knew how much effort Lord Sunan had made behind the scenes for Blackrock City to have the development it has today.
Even the establishment of the Black Rock Cavalry Regiment can be said to have been facilitated by Lord Sunan.
In the hearts of the knights and apprentice knights in Blackrock City, Lord Sunan's status is no lower than that of the lord.
"Anyway, don't be too nervous. Once you meet the Lord, take the potion and drink it, you'll be fine."
Before Qiao Dun could finish his words of comfort, he suddenly felt a chill running down his back, as if something had brushed past him from behind, causing goose bumps to appear on his skin.
He subconsciously stopped and looked around, but found nothing unusual.
"Did you see anything?" Jordan turned around and asked the three people.
The three of them shook their heads in confusion.
"Damn it, did I drink too much last night and my mind is still not clear?"
Jordan patted his head, muttered a few words, quickly put the matter behind him, and continued to lead the way.
After a while, the four arrived at the martial arts training ground.
From a distance, Joton saw the lord and Brad standing at the entrance of the training ground, seemingly discussing something.
There are three large wooden barrels not far away.
When he got closer, Jordan could see that the barrel was filled with a light red liquid.
I can also smell a familiar pungent smell.
It was the smell of the lesser dragon blood potion! "Are these all lesser dragon blood potions?"
Joton was startled, but he quickly realized that the smell in the air was a little faint, not like real medicine, but probably a diluted liquid medicine.
"Move the barrels to the barracks. All soldiers who have reached the rank of knight squire will drink one bowl of water a day, and officers will be given an extra bowl a day."
Seeing Jordan and his men coming over, Key gave Brad an instruction and waved his hand for him to leave. Then he looked at Jordan and the others, focusing his eyes on the three young men.
"My Lord!"
The three of them bowed in unison.
Key nodded solemnly and looked at Jordan.
"There are only three people in this group?"
Qiao Dun nodded and said, "The rest are apprentice knights who have just broken through. Lord Sunan said that it is best to wait for a while until they have consolidated their strength before taking the potion."
Hearing that it was Sunan's idea, Keyi said nothing more and took out three bottles of secondary dragon blood potion.
The subsequent process was very simple, and the three young men took the medicine on the spot.
Two of them broke through and were promoted to knights on the spot. Although the remaining one did not break through, according to past experience, he could also be promoted after returning to practice for a few days.
After encouraging the three new (quasi) knights, Key signaled Jordan to take his men away, and then he also left the training ground and headed for the main building.
Since the battle to annihilate the Black-Scaled Lizardmen, Blackrock City has entered a period of rapid development.
The number of knights skyrocketed.
Today, the total number of knights in Blackrock City has exceeded one hundred.
Looking at the entire Principality of Stars, only noble territories above the viscount level, after hundreds of years of development and inheritance, can accumulate so many knights! Black Stone City has a number of knights comparable to that of a viscount territory. If the news spreads, I don’t know how many people will be shocked.
"Unfortunately, the blood we got from killing the black-scaled lizardmen has been used up. Next, we can only slowly draw blood from the captives. The speed of making potions over there will also have to slow down a lot."
"But that's okay. We used too much secondary dragon blood potion recently, and there is a shortage of trainee knights in the army. It's a good opportunity to train more trainee knights during this period."
Key thought of the dragon blood potion that Sunan had recently developed.
The effect of that potion far exceeded that of the secondary dragon blood potion. With only four bottles, he crossed the threshold that countless knights dreamed of and stepped into the level of great knight. It was simply amazing! The only pity was that the production was very small.
Up to now, apart from him, only a few senior knights such as Brad have taken it, and thus been promoted to the top knights.
"It's a pity that what Black Rock City lacks most right now is time. Otherwise, if you give me a few years to develop, it would be easy to take back the Flash Territory."
While thinking about it, Key suddenly saw the butler Old Geller leading six or seven servants passing by. The group of people were grunting and carrying a few woolen sheep.
Old Geller soon spotted Key and stopped to salute.
"My Lord."
Key hummed, pointed at the sheep and asked, "Where are we taking them?"
Old Geller said, "Carry it to Lord Sunan's yard."
Key quickly remembered that Sunan seemed to have a giant lizard in his yard that was captured from the Black-Scaled Lizard Tribe, and it ate a lot of meat every day.
However, he glanced at the three sheep and felt a little confused.
Did the monitor lizard's appetite increase? I just heard from Jordan that it seemed to only eat one sheep a day. Although curious, Key did not ask any more questions and waved his hand to let Old Geller and others leave.
Most things related to wizards are mysterious and strange, and difficult for outsiders to understand.
He was not interested in delving deeper into the matter, as long as he continued to support Sunan.
After all, Sunan’s strength is the strength of Black Stone City!
