"Raise it!" Lu Zhiyu instructed Verthandi. The two of them raised their swords in the exact same way. Even the smallest movements were exactly the same.
"Pay attention to your steps. Keep your center of gravity down. Don't panic. Look into my eyes and look straight ahead."
The two of them crossed their swords in the center of the backyard of the cathedral. Lu Zhiyu carefully adjusted Verthandi's steps, wrist techniques, body movements, mind, and the areas that her eyes should pay attention to.
Verthandi was very talented. Although she had not awakened her bloodline, her swordsmanship had already reached the pinnacle. In terms of technique, she had already reached the limit of what she could achieve. In the future, if she wanted to improve her strength, it would not just be a matter of technique.
After a whole set of training, Lu Zhiyu put down his sword and said, "That's enough. I have nothing else to teach you in the future. Your physical training has almost reached its limit."
Verthandi was exhausted as she sat on a pillar. When she heard Lu Zhiyu's words, her two furry ears that were hidden in her golden hair immediately perked up. "Dad, does that mean that I can awaken my bloodline soon?"
Ever since Verthandi had grown up, Lu Zhiyu had started to grow a beard. Thus, he had changed the way he addressed Verthandi. Lu Zhiyu nodded and said, "Almost. After awakening your bloodline, you will be a real knight. Although you will be a small knight of 1.6 meters, you will still be a knight!"
Verthandi was furious. She bared her canine teeth at Lu Zhiyu and stomped her feet. "I am only 16 years old. I can still grow taller. I can grow to at least 1.8 meters."
The average height of a lion man was close to two meters, while Lu Zhiyu was close to 1.9 meters. Verthandi, on the other hand, was the petite type. This made her, who had always wanted to be a knight, very depressed. Normally, to become a knight, one had to be at least 1.7 meters tall, or 1.8 meters tall.
Verthandi waved her fists at Lu Zhiyu, but Lu Zhiyu reached out and held her head down. Using the advantage of his height, she could not hit him. Verthandi tried to hit Lu Zhiyu's hand, but Lu Zhiyu crossed his hands, still holding Verthandi's head down. He laughed proudly.
Lu Zhiyu and Verthandi were in the Danello Cathedral, waiting for the arrival of the Elias Caravan that Bishop Cory had mentioned. When the time came, the caravan would accompany them through the capital of the Engido Kingdom, all the way to the Amos Icefield in the north.
Over the past decade or so, Lu Zhiyu had been traveling with Verthandi to many places in both the human and orc kingdoms. Coincidentally, Lu Zhiyu had even received the title of Baron of the Kingdom of the Church of Light. Although he didn't have a fiefdom, he was still a real noble.
They had been together for more than ten years, and Lu Zhiyu truly felt like a father. Compared to his previous life, these days made Lu Zhiyu feel happier. He had forgotten his identity, his own power, his own plans, and his own goals. Lu Zhiyu was happy to be with her.
A few days later, Lu Zhiyu waited outside the bathroom. Autumn in the north was already very cold, so the steam from the hot water filled the air. The training of a knight was very particular. Not only did it require a special training method to train the body to the limit, but the brain would also sense the changes in the body and release the power of one's bloodline.
This not only required a large amount of food, but also a variety of herbs and ways to care for the body. Otherwise, the body wouldn't be able to provide the energy needed for training, and it could easily cripple the body.
Lu Zhiyu had provided Verthandi with the best of the best and had never been short of anything. As for things like the tempering method, Lu Zhiyu felt that it was useless. Anything he made up would be better than what humans used. As for the potions and herbs, Lu Zhiyu provided them for free. However, the awakening of the bloodline would only happen when the body was almost formed. During this period of time, Lu Zhiyu felt that Verthandi's bloodline was almost awakened, so he immediately prepared the nutrient solution for her breakthrough.
At that moment, the door opened behind him. Verthandi walked out of the room shyly. She was wearing a simple nightgown. It seemed that Lu Zhiyu had prepared well, and the awakening had been successful.
Verthandi shyly pressed down on her nightgown. Lu Zhiyu looked her up and down. "What are you so shy about? I've seen everything on your body. Besides, you're dry and skinny. Your front is flat, and your back is flat. What's there to hide? Other people have something to hide, but you have nothing to hide! "
Lu Zhiyu's words were a critical hit. Verthandi screamed, her blonde hair flying. She threw the vase on the table at Lu Zhiyu and called his name. "Randhir, you bastard! Old pervert!"
Lu Zhiyu steadily caught the seven or eight things that Verthandi threw at him, not missing a single one. Just as he was feeling proud of himself, he saw a basin of bathwater splashed on him.
“。。。。。”
After fooling around, Lu Zhiyu looked at Verthandi's awakened bloodline. He didn't care much about the awakened bloodline, as the Bloodline Knight stage was just a passing phase and didn't have much use or meaning. However, after looking at it, Lu Zhiyu was shocked.
"The Golden Eye? I didn't expect you to have inherited the Golden Eye of Ahenaten. You also have part of the bloodline of the king! "
Verthandi was very happy. She knew that she had awakened an ability related to her eyes. Holding the bronze mirror, she saw that her eyes had undergone some subtle changes. From their original tawny color, they had turned into a more beautiful gold.
When he looked at things with his eyes, he discovered that the entire world had changed greatly. Not only did it become clearer, but his observation skills also seemed to have become sharper. He could even see the faces of the people ringing the bell on the tall tower in the distance. He could even observe the bees flying by the window and the flapping of their wings.
If such a powerful ability was used in battle, it would simply be a killing weapon. She felt that she should have awakened a good ability, but she did not expect it to be the legendary Golden Eye. This was a bloodline ability that no one had awakened for a long time. Because of its legendary nature, it was called the King's bloodline.
Verthandi was very happy. "Isn't this the bloodline that you passed on to me, dad? Dad, don't you know that you are the descendant of Ahenaten? That means that I am also the descendant of the king! "
Lu Zhiyu looked embarrassed. "Err, that seems to be the case. I seem to have a bit of a relationship with Ahenaten."
At that moment, there was a knock on the door downstairs. Lu Zhiyu opened it and saw a young orc priest standing at the door. "My lord, the bishop wants to see you."
Lu Zhiyu nodded. "Did Bishop Cory say what it was about?"
"It seems that the Elias Business Group has arrived. Their Lord Elias is currently in the front hall reminiscing with the bishop."
