Under the starry night sky, the Bennett Castle was like a giant guarding this plain. This was the Knight of Bennett's fief. It was located at the southern end of the Holy Continent, between the Duchy of Carmel and the Earth-Dividing Mountain Range. This place was far away from war, and it was an important granary of the Duchy of Carmel.
Under the moonlight, the wheat fields were neatly arranged. They swayed gently in the summer breeze, as if to show the richness of this land.
"Wow!" A 12 year old boy with black hair was waving a giant sword. He was wearing a huge iron armor. His 1.5 meter tall body made the armor look like a bell. However, his little face was very serious, as if he was doing something holy.
Every time the boy waved the giant sword, he would yell loudly. On one hand, it was to let out a breath. On the other hand, it was to squeeze out every ounce of strength in his body.
The clatter of hooves woke up the boy who was focused on waving his sword. He turned his long black hair, revealing a young and tender face. Sweat had already soaked his black hair and made it stick to his cheeks. His purple eyes revealed a dream-like luster.
"Abel, look what I brought you." An 18 year old young man jumped off the horse. He had long blond hair, thick eyebrows, a high nose, and sky-blue eyes. He was wearing leather armor and riding boots. He said as he took a small package from the saddle.
"Big brother, you're back."
Abel was not like other children who were curious about the gift. Instead, he politely greeted the young man.
As the older brother, Zach was already used to Abel's attitude. Ever since Abel woke up a year ago, he seemed to have grown up a lot and become very mature.
These two young men were the sons of the Knight of Bennett in the Bennett Castle.
The older one was 18 year old Zach, the eldest son of the Knight of Bennett. He was a level 4 novice Knight, and he had just returned from Fort Lee. The younger one, who was still practicing hard at night, was Knight of Bennett's second son. He had only been a Knight Trainee for two months.
As the eldest son of the Knight of Bennett, if Zach could become a Knight, he would inherit the Knight domain and Bennett Castle. The second son, Abel, would have to work hard to make a living.
However, this didn't affect their relationship. Every time Zach went to town, he would spend some of his pocket money to buy Abel some gifts to fulfill his responsibility as an older brother.
Abel was always very sensible and never asked his father for cultivation resources. Although this Knight's Dominion had a radius of 100 miles, it didn't have any special products and could only rely on the income from food. After paying taxes, the annual income from food was only 500 gold coins.
This money had to cover the expenses of the castle and the Knight training of his eldest son, Zach. Basically, there was not much left.
Abel took the package from Zach's hand. It was a long box wrapped with a layer of colorful cloth. It showed that Zach had put a lot of thought into this gift.
"What a beautiful dagger!" Abel cried out in surprise. He kept fiddling with the dagger in his hand. This dagger was made of fine iron, so it was heavier than an ordinary iron dagger. It was also much more expensive in terms of price.
"It's good that you like it. I was lucky today. There was a guy who didn't know how to sell this dagger. The price was only 70% of an ordinary dagger, so I bought it." Seeing Abel like the dagger so much, Zach was very happy. In the past year, Abel rarely smiled like this.
"Keep practicing, I'll go home first."
Zach didn't continue to disturb Abel's practice. There was only one set of iron armor like this in the whole castle. During the day, this set of armor was assigned to Zach by the Knight of Bennett. It was only at night that he would give it to Abel to practice.
The first thing an apprentice Knight needed to do was to practice the corresponding introductory swordsmanship. These swordsmanship could effectively compress and precipitate every trace of strength in the muscles. Finally, it would give back a kind of Qi to the body. This Qi would slowly accumulate and form Qi channels. Every time a Qi channel was formed, the Qi channels would be upgraded by one novice level. When the body had five Qi channels, the Qi channels would be compressed again to form a Qi core.
A Knight with a Qi core was already a regular Knight. They could use their combat qi to fight, and their combat qi could stimulate all kinds of combat skills to improve the fighting strength of a Knight.
In order to quickly compress the strength in the muscles, after thousands of years of exploration, Knights found that wearing heavy armor to practice could improve the speed of forming Qi channels. Therefore, every Knight had to have a set of iron armor at home. This set of armor could be used during peacetime, and it could also be used as a solid shield to protect oneself during wartime.
By reducing or increasing the number of plates on the armor, both apprentice Knights and senior knights could use the same set of armor to practice. Therefore, armor and a horse were both standard equipment for knights. A Knight without armor and a horse would not be recognized as a Knight.
"97 … 98 … 99 … 100." When Abel swung his sword for the last time, the last trace of strength in his body disappeared. He could not help but lie down on the ground. His purple eyes looked at the stars in the sky, and he said softly, "Which star is my home?"
The original Abel had died in the accident a year ago, and a soul from Earth had taken over this body and became the new Abel. This was also the reason why Abel's personality had changed in the past year. A thirty-year-old soul entering the body of a ten-year-old, no matter how careful they were, would make people feel different. However, because of the accident, everyone thought it was just a child who was frightened.
Abel, known as Li Abel on Earth, was an experienced fitness trainer. He was usually busy with work. One day, when he got home at around ten in the evening, he was a little annoyed. He took out his laptop and started playing his old game, Diablo 2. Diablo 2 was one of the few classic games on his laptop, and it was also one of the games that he kept.
He clicked on the icon and played the game for a while. He found that the "Book of Town Portal" was 0. He often forgot to buy a scroll of town portal. Since he was bored, he opened the modifier and made some changes to the "Book of Town Portal". After a while, he looked at the stats of the "Book of Town Portal" with satisfaction.
While he was feeling good, a bolt of lightning hit the building that Li Abel was in. The lightning rod of the building did not work at all. Li Abel, who was playing on his laptop, was sent flying through the wires.
When Li Abel woke up, he found that he had become the second son of the Knight of Bennett. His name was also Abel.
Abel, who had recovered some of his strength, stood up and walked towards the castle with his greatsword. He felt good today. Maybe he could be promoted to a level one novice Knight tonight.
Abel, who had been added to the castle, did not go for dinner. There was still half an hour before dinner time. During this time, he had to do some maintenance on the armor.
Abel carefully cleaned the sweat stains on the armor bit by bit. Every piece of armor had to be cleaned, and every crack had to be cleaned. Then, he used maintenance oil to polish the armor. Abel was very careful during this process. Whether it was Abel, Zach, or even the Knight of Bennett himself, after using the armor, they would all do maintenance. This was a Knight's tradition, and it was also a necessary method for the armor to be passed down through the family.
Next was the greatsword. This greatsword was a type of two-handed sword. Its huge body and unadorned hilt reflected the views of the person who made this sword. It was simple and practical.
