Mage Adam

The next day just after the light came on, Adam still came to work in the stables, feeding, cleaning the fur, and cleaning, all the procedures were the same as before. However, after the work was completed, he did not leave directly as usual, but opened the door that was supposed to be closed, and stood quietly aside.

Ever since he could easily control power, he discovered another use of mental power. This special energy has a powerful perception ability, which is far stronger than the naked eye. There are no dead spots or blind spots in the range, just like now he has no When I turned around, I realized that someone had arrived.

Ophelia was still dazzling, she passed by Adam without any abnormality, just like facing an ordinary servant in a manor.

She had come to take her steed, a warhorse of unicorn blood she had named Dark Cloud.

For Ophelia, who has the level of a great knight, this kind of mixed-blood horse can no longer provide any additional combat power. The horse will collapse directly when the great knight's blood is fully erupted, and the pure monster mount cannot be tamed by the knight's power. Yes, so the war horse returned to its original function in the hands of the great knight, and was only used as a means of transportation.

Ophelia didn't say a word. When Wu Yun left the stable, he swept Adam lightly with his tail. Adam also didn't say a word, closed the stable and walked towards the cafeteria.

Ophelia rode out of the manor on a dark cloud and flew towards the Northland Cold Maple City. She was going to fulfill her promise.

She knew that her father, Earl Johnson, had never been a kind person. He strictly abided by the bottom line that a nobleman and a knight should have, but he would not do things in a pedantic way. If Ophelia did not ask, Johnson would The earl might force Adam to sign a contract, ordering Adam to give up his status as a freeman and become his subordinate. If Adam loses the chance to become a mage, Ophelia's promise will be broken. Mental uncleanness.

As for whether Adam can cope with the coercion and temptation of Marshall and Dennis, Ophelia doesn't care. In her heart, Earl Johnson is an irresistible factor. This man who is as strong as a monster can't resist even with her current strength, and her The two elder brothers can be regarded as ordinary beasts at best. If Adam can't even deal with this level of threat, then honestly being a knight is the best choice, no matter who he serves.

Hanfeng City is the center of the Northland, a very large city. The City Lord's Mansion where the Earl lives is located in the very center. Ophelia and Wu Yun drove straight in without anyone blocking the way.

"Ophelia, what's the matter with you?" Earl Johnson sat on the huge chair above. There seemed to be nothing that could threaten him.

Ophelia laughed at herself, this is her father, speaking like a stranger.

"About Adam, my groom. I hope I can take him to meet the master mage from Moldo Mage Academy." Ophelia made a straightforward request.

Earl Johnson didn't show any expression. He was very surprised when he learned yesterday that Adam suspected that his energy had run amok the first time he practiced, but it was just surprise and no joy.

Although Adam worked in his manor, he was a free citizen. If the guardian knights of the family had not been cultivated in loyalty since childhood, they would not be credible at all. Wandering knights could only be used as mercenaries. But obviously it's too late to brainwash Adam now.

As for forcing a freeman to sign a master-servant contract to become a slave or retainer, it will undoubtedly cause a strong reaction from the people in the territory, and the gain outweighs the loss.

But if Adam had been left in another way...

"Ophelia, you know, if you pass the aptitude test and leave, the family will suffer losses.

"Earl Johnson said slowly.

Ophelia sneered in her heart, she had already guessed what her father was going to say, 'Sure enough, I am just a valuable commodity. '

Earl Johnson continued: "The family has suffered a great loss after losing a great knight, but now you want to take away another genius who is bound to become a great knight, I cannot accept it. I think you should think about the family, I heard That boy named Adam is your childhood playmate, you should have a way to convince him to work for the family, right?"

Ophelia said coldly: "No, Mr. Earl, Adam is a freeman, not your slave. He has the power to choose, and I have no way or qualification to influence him. As for me, sir, my name is Ofelie A Johnson, my last name will not change whether I become a mage or not."

Then she sneered unabashedly, and said, "Sir, you should be well aware of the talents of your two sons, so mage Ophelia Johnson is the real umbrella of the Johnson family."

after you die. Ophelia didn't say the last words, but said to herself in her heart.

Earl Johnson suddenly raised his head and stared at his little daughter, his muscles swelled with anger, and the steel armor creaked. Ophelia looked at him without showing any weakness. This father had completely disappointed her.

After staring at each other for a while, Earl Johnson didn't say anything more, and waved his hand to signal Ophelia to leave. He knew that his daughter was right, and he also knew that a family without a great knight after his death was just a piece of fat. The talents of the two sons are not enough to support the family to continue to rule the North, which is why he acquiesced in Ophelia's pursuit of the mage's path. The family needs deterrence.

"Daughter, why are you a daughter?" Earl Johnson sat alone in the spacious hall and sighed.

Ophelia walked out of the city lord's mansion calmly. The war horse Wu Yun stood outside proudly. Sensing the master's depression very spiritually, he neighed softly and rubbed his big head against his face.

Ofelia patted it and got on the horse: "Let's go."

The atmosphere in the manor canteen was weird.

Adam was still sitting alone. There was a mountain of food in front of him, and he ate it bite by bite. The energy contained in every morsel of food was not wasted. Under Adam's complete control over his body, he absorbed it perfectly and strengthened his body. physique.

And next to Adam were servants lying on the ground in disarray, all with bruised noses and swollen faces, gasping for air-conditioning constantly, and the severe pain made them unable to even get up and leave. Bearded Joe sat down by the door with his head bowed, his face was covered with blood, and if it wasn't for his heaving chest to prove that he was still alive, he would have looked like a dead man.

The ointment really helped Adam a lot, strengthening his physique to the level of a normal person overnight, but Adam knew that there would be no second ointment for him to use in the short term, so these ordinary foods were to gain energy important source of .

So the completely opposite situation appeared like this. Adam, who was often robbed of food, took the initiative to attack this time. After knocking down all the servants cleanly, he enjoyed their food with peace of mind. These servants were vulnerable and had no resistance. ability.

Every muscle in Adam's body is trembling at a small frequency, and the purpose of exercise is achieved in this way, but: "It's not enough. The energy obtained from low-grade food cannot supply the practice of breathing."

After Adam ate the last piece of black bread, he sat on a chair and began to practice the breathing method. The momentum was still huge, and the energy of No. 3 scrambled to input into his body, and a faint red light rose.

The others were terrified. They had never seen such a level of energy reaction in any knight in the manor. They finally knew the gap between themselves and Adam.

Just five minutes after Adam breathed with all his strength, his body had an overload reaction, and the energy obtained from the food was exhausted. Adam stood up silently, his cold and emotionless eyes swept over the crowd on the ground, and the servants backed away enduring the pain. They even thought that Adam would choose to eat them, and they were relieved until Adam left the cafeteria, cursing fiercely in a low voice: "Damn, this bastard, monster."

In fact, it’s not that Adam didn’t want to eat them. In Adam’s mind, he was not the same as them. He didn’t have the mentality of “can’t eat people”. The reason why he didn’t do this was because he didn’t challenge universal values ​​and suffer the consequences. ability.

Adam picked up his basket and sickle and walked out of the manor. Today he brought an extra pair of flints.

In this relatively closed environment, a news is conveyed very quickly. Now everyone knows that the fool who used to have no sense of existence and was used as a joke at the most has turned into a genius. People who don't believe it are also on the training ground yesterday. The lieutenant general was skeptical of the unequivocal confirmation of the knight attendants.

Adam received attention all the way, and heard that after Miss Ophelia saved him from the hands of the two young masters, the people who used to make things difficult for him put away their minions, and the soldiers guarding the gate trotted over from the stove after seeing him. He opened the side door for him without even saying a word of nonsense.

It happened to meet Ophelia who was returning, and seeing Adam in a suit, she instantly understood the bad tastes of the lower-level servants, and also knew what Adam was going to do. After a moment of hesitation, she didn't give any explanation, and said coldly: " You don't need to feed my horses from today on."

Adam looked up at Ophelia without saying a word, and walked towards the field in silence. Ophelia didn't wait for Adam to answer, and the two passed by.

The manor was getting smaller and smaller behind Adam. Instead of taking the familiar path, he walked deeper into the wilderness. The snowflakes falling from the sky heralded that late autumn in the Northland was coming to an end, followed by a long cold winter.

And Adam needs to hunt as many beasts as possible before the snow completely covers the land.
