Chapter 34: The Path to the Extraordinary
Perhaps because of this period of time, he has become more familiar with the little daughter of the Earl's family.
"Let's stop here for today's training. If you have any questions in the future, you can find Shadiya."
Ryan looked aside and saw that the head maid Shadiya nodded slightly to him.
"Wait a moment, Miss Claire, I have another question. Regarding the path to the extraordinary, is there only one way to become extraordinary in this world, the Knight's Path?"
"Hehe, how is this possible?"
Claire couldn't help laughing. She also found that she was focused on teaching Ryan breathing and sword skills, and had never mentioned some common sense things to Ryan.
"Of course, the path to the extraordinary is far more than the Knight's Path. Even entering the extraordinary through the Knight's Path is far from the most powerful among the extraordinary. For example, the major churches in the empire all have their own extraordinary paths."
"But the extraordinary paths of the churches all have a prerequisite, which is to become a devout believer in God."
"And the Knight's Path is the most stable and least dependent on external forces. It is a path to become extraordinary by tapping one's own potential."
"At the same time, it is also the easiest path for ordinary people to enter the extraordinary." Claire introduced.
"According to records, the Knight Breathing Technique originated from our human ancestors' research on ferocious beasts, and gradually developed a set of exercises suitable for humans."
"The Giant Bear Breathing Technique and Giant Bear Swordsmanship you are practicing now are all like this."
After listening, Ryan nodded. He could understand this situation.
Because in the previous life, the ancestors used the Five Animals Exercise to maintain health, and used Xingyiquan to imitate monkeys, tigers, bears and other twelve animals to kill enemies.
"Ferocious beast?"
However, this was the first time Ryan heard of this concept, and he asked in confusion.
"Yes, ordinary animals have a certain chance of becoming ferocious beasts or alienated beasts under the influence of the mysterious side, thereby gaining strength, agility and recovery speed far beyond their ordinary counterparts, which is equivalent to the knights among humans."
"Well, in fact, from this perspective, the extraordinary paths taken by knights and ferocious beasts are the same, and they both break the limit in some way. It's just that humans practice breathing techniques, while animals rely more on talent or blood."
"Look!" Claire's originally slender arms suddenly swelled up, and the long sleeves of her hunting suit immediately bulged up, but soon shrank back.
Ryan stared at the change in Claire's arm with his eyes wide open.
King Kong Barbie?
He was stunned!
So this is Claire's true strength!
"This is the power you have after entering the official knight, breaking the limit of physical strength, we call it breaking the limit."
"A long time ago, breaking the limit was also called violent transformation, but later, in order to distinguish between humans and beasts, people called those who entered the extraordinary through practicing breathing techniques knights, and this change was named breaking the limit, which is actually the same as violent transformation."
"Okay, I should go."
Claire looked out the window, the night was getting darker.
"Ryan, this world is far more vast and more dangerous than you think. I have taught you the giant bear breathing method and giant bear swordsmanship. Work hard!"
"I hope you can give me a surprise in a year."
After saying that, Claire smiled slightly, swung her chestnut ponytail, turned around and left the room, and her figure quickly disappeared into the darkness outside the castle.
At the same time, in the dining room of the Earl of Harris's mansion in the county town of Mayest County.
A bearded man in black noble clothing with gold trimmings was elegantly cutting a large piece of beef ribs weighing several kilograms. The silver knife and fork were very flexible in his hands.
On the silver plate, pieces of beef ribs cut as neatly as tofu were quickly put into his mouth by the fork.
Soon, all the meat on such a large piece of beef ribs went into his stomach. He ate every rib very cleanly without any trace of beef residue.
But it was not over yet. With a series of crisp "clicks!" sounds
, the silver knife in the man's hand cut the hard beef ribs like cutting butter, and sucked the beef marrow inside into his mouth.
At this time, the beautiful maid beside him handed over a hot towel respectfully.
The man wiped his mouth and said, "Michel, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
His tone was very polite, but anyone could tell that it was just a polite remark.
"What's the matter?"
"Baron, I have something to report to you." The butler named Michel waved his hand and asked the maids to leave the restaurant.
"There's news from Dennis that your sister, Miss Claire, seems to have cultivated a direct descendant in the Habsburg Manor. It is said that she is the son of a farmer, but she has a talent for swordsmanship."
When the butler named Michel mentioned the name Claire, the middle-aged baron's face changed, and he obviously thought of something unpleasant.
He took a sip of red wine elegantly, paused, and asked, "According to the time, Claire should be leaving for the imperial capital soon, right?"
"Yes, Miss Claire should leave for the imperial capital within three days."
"Otherwise, you might miss the opening ceremony of the Imperial Royal Academy."
The baron nodded and said, "Then give face to my sister who has the strongest knight talent in Mayest County. After she leaves, Michelle, have someone wipe out this... farmer's son."
His tone was so casual, as if he was stepping on an ant on the roadside.
"As you command, Baron." Michelle said respectfully.
Just as the butler was about to leave, the baron spoke again: "By the way, when can the Black Flame Prayer Ceremony that was mentioned last time be held?"
"Well, there seems to be a small problem over there. The situation has been very tense recently, and some materials may take some time to be fully prepared."
"Let them speed up! I don't want to wait too long."
"Yes, sir, your will is my will!"
The baron in front of him was named Alonso Habsburg. As the eldest son of the Habsburg family, he was awarded the title of baron at the age of eighteen.
Alonso returned to the study, sat on the chair, and began to play with a silver round family emblem, which was two circles larger than the imperial gold coin.
This is a habit of his.
Whenever he wants to think about a problem carefully, he will put the family emblem on his fingers and turn it.
The craftsmanship of the Habsburg family emblem is extremely exquisite. The surface is a diving eagle, with wings raised high, and each wing seems to be distinguishable, and a pair of claws are facing down, as if to catch a prey.
This is not an ordinary eagle, but a superb bird of prey called the 'Kali Bird'.
When this bird grows up, its wingspan can reach more than four meters, which is much more ferocious than an ordinary eagle.
As the eldest son of the Habsburg family, Alonso should have been the undoubted heir to the family, but unfortunately, in terms of personal strength, he is the weakest among the three sons of Count Habsburg. He
was nearly thirty years old before he finally entered the level of a formal knight. After a few years, he made almost no progress.
In this world, if the strength of the sons is not much different, the inheritance right is in the order of seniority, but if the strength gap is too large,
it would be a pity.
For Alonso, unfortunately, his half-brother Descartes and sister Claire are both talented.
Descartes has already served in the Imperial Military Department and has a bright future.
Claire is a rare genius knight in Meister County. At the age of fifteen, she broke through to the level of a formal knight and was admitted to the Imperial Royal Academy for further study.
The key point is that Alonso's relationship with the two has not been good since he was a child. Of course, his mother is also a factor here. It is unlikely that he can change it.
Therefore, Alonso's sense of urgency is getting stronger and stronger. He does not want to be just a small baron in this life.
He took the family's silver Kaliri bird emblem, held it tightly, and said: "I hope the Black Flame Prayer Ceremony can have the legendary effect!"
