The Knight Marshall rubbed his hands behind his back and said, "That's a lot of strength. It's almost 200 pounds."
Abel's skin, muscles, and bones had all been transformed by the promotion energy. Although it was 200 pounds of strength, how could 200 pounds of strength from a wooden stick be the same as 200 pounds of strength from an iron stick?
That was why the Knight Marshall felt pain. Strength was only one of the reasons. More importantly, it was because Abel's body was too strong.
"Your strength is comparable to the giant beasts in the Orc Empire." The Knight Marshall muttered in his heart.
"Hit me with combat qi again." The Knight Marshall said. He took out a shield from the corner of the wall and blocked in front of Abel.
Pale golden combat qi gushed out. Abel's fist landed in the middle of the shield, and the shield made a dull sound. The Knight Marshall only shook a little this time.
However, the Knight Marshall knew that this was different from the previous one. Although his body was still shaking a little.
The first time, he was empty-handed. What kind of Knight would fight empty-handed? Only a Knight with a weapon was a real Knight.
The second time, he was holding a shield in his hand. He used the standard shield of a Knight to block, but his body was still shaking a little.
"700 pounds!" The Knight Marshall gave an affirmative answer. He then said, "Three and a half times increase."
The Knight Marshall looked at Abel enviously and said, "Strength plus combat qi. If you have a good armor, I don't know what can stop you."
"Really?" Abel's heart was full of excitement. He could finally feel some sense of security in this world.
"Don't be happy too early." The Knight Marshall looked at Abel's expression and said, "You're comparing yourself to a normal person. If you're facing a wizard, you have to hope that the wizard is a wizard who has exhausted his mana."
"I will become a wizard," Abel looked at the Knight Marshall and said in a very confident tone.
Abel didn't want to disturb the Knight Marshall as he cleaned up the documents on the floor. The Knight Marshall looked at the pile of books waiting to be sorted out by himself.
When Abel returned to his room, Black Wind wrapped itself around him as soon as he entered the door. Black Wind's little soul was filled with longing for him. Abel picked up Black Wind's little body, and Black Wind was like a puppy, licking Abel with its tongue.
Abel thought that he was already a beginner Knight, so he could use the Mount Enhancement spell while the mount wolf was still small. It would be better to use the spell on it while it was still growing, and it would make it even stronger.
Abel held down the little mount wolf Black Wind, and Black Wind playfully shook its body. The next moment, every part of Black Wind's body appeared in his mind. He used his pale golden combat qi to massage Black Wind's body, and Black Wind's eyes closed comfortably.
Combat qi was very exclusive. It was corrosive and destructive, so it was not suitable for strengthening other creatures. The Mount Enhancement spell was used by orcs to communicate with the Beast God. It would remove the corrosive and destructive properties of combat qi, and it would strengthen the mount as if it was the user's body. This kind of strengthening effect would not be immediate, but it would greatly change the mount over a long period of time.
After a fifteen-minute Mount Enhancement spell, Abel felt that the connection between Black Wind and himself was closer. He picked up Black Wind, who was sleeping soundly, and gently placed it on its little bed.
It was time for dinner. When Abel walked into the dining room, Knight Marshall saw him and waved to him. "I forgot to tell you, Edmund's boutique shop sent a message. Your weapons have been sold, and you should go get your gold coins when you have time."
"Okay, Uncle Marshall."
Knight Marshall laughed and said, "Also, the mayor, Viscount Dickens, invited us to the mayor's mansion. The information we got last time was very useful. I guess he wants to talk about how to divide the military exploits."
"I don't know if the military exploits are enough for me to get a title." Abel said with some worry.
In this world, if a person's military exploits were falsely claimed, it would be a big crime. It would be looked down upon by all the nobles, and they would also be punished by the country. Therefore, Abel's discovery of the map and his rescue of Matthew's castle with Knight Marshall were strictly separated. However, the military exploits generated from the information on the map were negotiable.
This was also the reason why Abel's identity was different. The mayor, Viscount Dickens, did not want to offend a young blacksmith master. If it were someone else, Viscount Dickens would not have discussed it with him. He would have directly drawn up a plan to distribute the military exploits.
Knight Marshall roughly guessed the thoughts of Viscount Dickens. They just had to accept this kind of goodwill, so he said, "Don't worry, Viscount Dickens is a fair mayor. You deserve a lot of military exploits."
"Then let's go tomorrow. We can go to Edmond's Boutique Shop and get the gold coins back." When Abel talked about Edmond's Boutique Shop, he thought of the auxiliary potions for the official Knight's training. When he was an apprentice Knight, he could save a lot of time because of the auxiliary potions. This time, he could go and see if there were any auxiliary potions for the official Knight.
Abel enjoyed his dinner very much. Returning to the familiar castle made him hungry. Knight Marshall was now thinking about changing the menu at home. In the past, in order to take care of Abel, he bought a lot of meat for the apprentice Knight's needs. Now that Abel was a junior Knight, the effect of these ordinary meats was very small. He needed to change it to the meat of beasts.
Because the castle's income was good recently, whether it was the blacksmith shop or the weapons shop in the city, they had brought a lot of income to the castle. Therefore, it was not a problem for the castle to support two Knights.
The most expensive thing was the weapons. Because Abel was a master blacksmith himself, he could make any weapon he wanted. As long as he put in some effort, he could make it himself. As for the armor, there was no need to rush. Abel was only 13 years old, and his body had yet to take shape. If he made the armor now, he would have to replace it in a few months. It would be more cost-effective to make the armor after Abel's body took shape. There was no war now, so there was not much use for armor.
As the Knight of Marshall thought to himself, he couldn't help but think of his own weapon. He couldn't help but feel proud of himself. Now that the castle's income had increased, and he didn't need to spend any gold coins to equip his own weapon. If there was a knight who could equip two magic weapons, he would ask Abel to make him a magic armor when he had the time. As for that glowing red sun armor, he would leave it for the old man in Bakong City.
If Viscount Dickens could give Abel a Knight title, or even a territory, then his Family Harry branch would be even more powerful.
The more he thought about it, the more proud the Marshall Knight became. He could not help but laugh out loud, which made Abel, who was eating on the side, a little surprised. He felt that the Marshall Knight seemed to be very excited today. Could it be that he had hit him too hard in the study room?
Dinner ended with the Marshall Knight and Abel each thinking about their own little ideas.
When they returned to their room, the black armor on the warhorse had already been sent to their room. Abel practiced the Knight breathing technique for a while, but the Qi he got from each practice was pitiful. Basically, all the Knights would encounter this situation after they became official Knights. From the beginner Knight onwards, it would take years for them to level up. However, many a little makes a mickle, and many grains of sand make a tower. These daily practices would eventually become the cornerstone of their next level up.
The next morning, the weather was a little hot, so the Marshall Knight and Abel took the carriage and set off very early. When they arrived at Harry's Castle's courtyard in Harvest City, the sun had just begun to rise.
After resting for a bit in the courtyard, the Knight of Marshall took this invitation very seriously. He had already asked Steward Robin to prepare for a bath. After the two of them took a bath in the courtyard, they changed into their formal attire. After that, they got on the carriage and went to the city palace.
