Sophia's interest was immediately aroused. "So, I can get a badge that can improve my strength, too?"
For professionals, improving their strength was one of the most important things. In many cases, professionals would even sell their souls for strength. Sophia looked at the badge on her husband's hand enviously and said, "We haven't improved our strength for a long time. Now that you've got this badge, your strength has been greatly improved. There's already a huge gap between us."
As a couple for more than ten years, Uther certainly knew what his wife was thinking. He sighed and said, "If I confer you as my Knight like Beta, your strength will indeed be greatly improved, but the problem is that both of us will become Beta's slaves. That's not good!"
Although Uther was an Earl and the lord of a city, he understood that in this world where there were true gods and magic, power was the most important factor. Although wealth was useful, it could be taken away by others. Power was wonderful, but it was restricted by the higher ranking officials and the royal family. Only power would always belong to oneself, and no one could take it away from him.
However, the sudden enhancement of strength before his eyes broke his worldview. "Sophia, this is a power that can be taken away. It's powerful, but it doesn't belong to us. There's no need to value it too much. Besides, we don't know why Beta came to Winterwind yet. If he's a spy from an enemy kingdom, the Longman family will be dragged into the abyss by him. "
"I don't think he's a spy from an enemy kingdom." Sophia was sitting on a chair next to Beta. Her white silk pajamas were very close to her body, revealing her curves. From the perspective of others, Betta was indeed a very annoying person. However, from the perspective of others, Beta should be a very popular person. He was knowledgeable, handsome, powerful, and had a very special Blood Magic. Including this conferring Knight. You've conferred many Knight titles, haven't you? Will they receive special powers? Don't you think that the power is amazing and even noble? "
Uther was stunned. He had been thinking about the enhancement of strength from the badge. However, he had not thought of this during the specialty test.
Sophia said with a bit of piety, "Think about it. A noble soul draws out his sword and gives glory and honor to his loyal servant … The Goddess of Light is sitting in the clouds. Looking at the suffering beings of the world with pity, the Guardian of the Kings came to the mortal world from the Kingdom of Heaven, bestowing power upon the benevolent Knight, instructing them to spread light to every corner of the world, dispel darkness, and protect all those who believe in the Good God, so that their souls can be at peace from the invasion of evil. "
As Sophia spoke, she began to sing an old folk song. Her voice was very pleasant, and it was the voice of a mature woman. She sang the poem with the vicissitudes of life.
"I haven't heard anyone sing this Light Psalm in a long time." Uther's expression became very strange. "Are you saying that Beta is the Guardian of the Kings, the legendary descendant of the ancient golden race?"
Sophia nodded. "It's very likely. In fact, when I heard you say that he knows a strange fog magic, I vaguely had this idea, but I was not sure at the time. Now he has shown the magic to summon a storm and the ability to confer Knight titles. Do you think an ordinary person can give a Knight special powers? Don't you think he looks very similar to the Guardian of the Kings in the Light Psalm? His hair is as beautiful as pure gold under the sun … This is to describe the Guardian of the Kings, and he also has this characteristic. "
Uther pondered for a moment and said, "But he is very weak! The Guardian of the Kings should be at least of the legendary level. "
"Very weak?" Sophia laughed. "The day before yesterday, when we decided to deal with Beta, my daughter told me in private. My daughter had told me privately that Betta's spiritual power wasn't strong half a year ago, at most a little higher than hers, but half a year later. But half a year later, his spiritual power grew by a large margin. The Goddess of Magic used to be a mortal, not to mention the Guardian of the Kings. I think that Beta should still be in the growth period, so his strength seems average, but if he is given more time, it will be hard to say. "
"You seem to have a good impression of him." Uther was a little jealous.
Sophia covered her mouth and chuckled. "Are you jealous? That's rare. "She got up and walked over to hug her husband's back. She said gently, "I will only love you in my life … so, don't worry."
With his wife hugging his back, Uther quickly calmed down. He felt that he had been a little too sensitive just now, so he said, "Don't you want this coat of arms, too? I'll confer you as my Knight. "
"Weren't you quite against me doing this just now?" Sophia's warm lips pressed against her husband's ear and said softly, "Why did you suddenly change your mind?"
Uther pulled his wife to him and held her in his arms, before he said, "I've thought it through. You're right. Beta's identity is definitely not simple. We can take a gamble. If we win, the Longman family will be able to survive for hundreds of years. If we lose, it doesn't matter. We can always rebel against Winterwind. After all, I've had enough of those guys in the capital. "
"To be a dog of the royal family or a dog of the Guardian of the Kings? It's not a difficult choice. " Uther rubbed the twin shield on the back of his hand and took a deep breath. Then he said, "Sophia, get ready. I'll confer you as my Knight in a moment. Based on my previous experience, your body will be very painful when you are conferred the title of Knight. You have to endure it."
"Don't worry. I can give birth to a child. Why should I be afraid of the pain?" Sophia rolled her eyes at her husband. Then, she stepped back and said, "Let's begin."
Uther waved his right hand, and three streaks of blue light burst out of the badge on the back of his hand and illuminated Sophia's body. Then, they formed a black, spinning, tiny magic circle with complicated magic stripes.
"The oath of the Knight Contract … I remember that Beta asked me to do that."
Sophia took a deep breath. The two mountains on her chest were raised high. Then, she exhaled the dirty air in her chest, but the mountains did not shrink at all.
She was prepared. When she was about to swear the oath, someone knocked on the door fiercely. Sophia was rather angry. Nobody would be in a good mood if they were disturbed at a critical moment. She walked over and opened the door, only to find that it was her old maid. She asked, "What happened?"
"My lady, Mr. Gavin is back downstairs. Miss Katerina is with him … Mr. Gavin doesn't look good. "
The couple looked at each other for a second before they rushed downstairs at the same time. When they reached the main hall on the first floor, they saw Katerina holding the fatty Gavin. Gavin was unconscious, and there were even bloodstains on his chest.
"What's going on?" Uther walked up and asked.
Katerina told him what had happened and then said, "Now Mr. Beta is still entangled with a Necromancer. Mr. Uther, you should go and help him."
Uther thought for a moment. But he did not move. Katerina smiled bitterly. "Mr. Beta has already guessed that you might not be willing to help him, but he said that you are his Knight. If he dies, you can't live alone …"
"Bullsh*t!" Uther kicked the chair closest to him and sent it flying. Then, he combed his hair with his left hand and pushed the short bangs in front of his forehead to his hairline. Then, he said, "Which direction are they roughly in?"
"In the western suburbs of the city," Katerina said seriously. Katerina said solemnly, "Where Beta is fighting, there will be a rain cloud that keeps raining, although the area isn't too large. It's not very large, but the rainfall is astonishing. I think you'll see it the moment you leave the castle. "
Uther turned and walked upstairs. At the same time, he cursed Liang Lidong angrily in his heart. Because he had been disrespectful to his master, his head was constantly hurting.
Sophia followed him and said, "I'm going too!"
Uther thought for a moment and agreed. Just like that, the strongest couple in Winterwind left the castle at the same time. They did not bring any soldiers. As a border noble, Uther had a lot of battle experience. His personal strength was not bad, so he was very clear. He knew very well that only a few elites should be brought to deal with a Necromancer. Ordinary soldiers would only be mobile "fertilizer" for the Necromancer. It was meaningless to bring them.
On the other hand, the tug-of-war had been going on for about half an hour. Tina looked at the gloomy sky that was still raining. Then, an enormous pillar of water hit the Black Knight's tower shield. After a hundred attacks, the tower shield in the Black Knight's hand finally died and fell apart.
"Don't think that you can attack us just because you damaged the Black Knight's shield." Tina smiled creepily. She waved her hand, and the two Black Knight were covered in a gray barrier. Then, Tina said with a smile, "This is a purely defensive barrier. Let's see if you can hurt the Black Knight at all."
"Rise!"
Liang Lidong summoned dragon-shaped water pillars to attack the two Black Knight as usual, but this time, the Black Knight did not resist at all. He simply watched the dragon-shaped water pillars reach him, only to be deflected by the gray magic barrier.
The Dark Mirage Shield! As Liang Lidong retreated, he slowly recalled the structure of the nodes of this spell, but he soon gave up. In the game, although Dark Magic was powerful and had various restraining or controlling effects, players generally would not learn it. That was because Dark Magic Masters were generally wanted criminals in various countries, and they were not good people themselves.
Although he had collected most of the magic modeling blueprints, he had only collected a few volumes of dark magic, and the rest were left unsettled. Because he did not know much about Dark Magic, he only heard that the Mirage Shield was a Dark Magic barrier that could offset most physical attacks. There seemed to be other special effects, but he could not think of them at the moment.
Since his opponent still had strength left, there was no need for him to be impulsive. He continued to retreat slowly, waiting for the right time.
The recovery and consumption rate of mental strength were related to willpower. The former was proportional, and the latter was inversely proportional. Liang Lidong's current willpower was 75, while Tina's was around 6, which was stronger than the average person's. It was difficult for Necromancers to invade souls with high willpower, and their Soul Puppets' attributes were calculated according to their own attributes. No matter how strong a Necromancer's soul and willpower were, they could only unleash the abilities that the body should have when they descended into the puppet.
That was why Necromancers would try their best to find a body with extraordinary talent to use when they took over someone else's body.
In front of Tina, Liang Lidong's body was fine, but he was a man, and she had no need to take over Liang Lidong's body. There was a huge difference in willpower between women, not to mention the difference between men and women. A man and a woman's thought processes were completely different, so she didn't want to enter a man's body at all. There was no need, and it would only harm herself.
Liang Lidong's bloodline magic did not consume much mental strength at all. Moreover, his willpower was quite good, which was why his mental strength was consumed rather slowly.
Tina's body's willpower was not high enough to help her reduce the consumption of her mental strength, but as an old monster that had lived for over a hundred years, her main body's mana capacity was rather high. Through the Soul Channel, she could slowly transfer her main body's mana to this body. That was where her confidence came from, which was why she dared to keep a bunch of skeletons and the two Black Knight by her side, not letting them return to the Necromancer Realm.
Although Tina was certain that she had won, she felt a little disappointed. She preferred Beta coming to her on his own initiative to admit his mistakes — that would give her a greater sense of achievement instead of waiting for her to force him out.
She couldn't help but shiver and feel itchy when she thought that Beta had been whipped by her. It was exactly the same feeling when she controlled Gavin's wife to have sex with a few men a few years ago … As expected of a mother and a daughter. Even their sensitivity was almost the same.
Tina rubbed her legs without knowing it. She licked her lips and commanded the undying to move faster. She almost couldn't wait to sit on Beta's body.
Very soon, Liang Lidong realized that. He knocked away Tina's soft bones again and backed off even faster. He realized that he seemed to have underestimated Tina. Although she did not have a strong willpower, she seemed to have a way to transfer her magic power.
If it went on, Liang Lidong felt that he might get tired first. Although it wasn't hard to escape from Tina, Winterwind might be doomed if he left. None of the cities that were targeted by the necromancers could escape the fate of destruction.
He was thinking about how to deal with the current situation, when he sensed that a power was approaching him. He couldn't be more familiar with the power. It was the Knight of the Round Table. His first Knight in this world was on his way!
