I must draw my sword immediately!

Chapter 96 To Become the Perfect Knight

After dinner, Gao Wen still had over a dozen debts to catch up on.

Suya arranged to meet the other party at No. 19 Knight Street, within the Fourth Ring Road of the capital, after he finished get off work at 18 pm.

Knight Gawain will teach Suya the unique ability that only hero-level knights can master: [Magic Cycle]. He will also temporarily act as Suya's guardian knight during the royal selection. Suya must bring at least 2000 gold pounds as a deposit, otherwise the deal will be void.

After a brief discussion at the Hero's Tavern, and having finalized the general transaction process,
Gao Wen then got up and took his leave with a look of excitement and anticipation on his face.

It was already afternoon, and the noise in the tavern gradually subsided.

Only after Gawain's figure disappeared outside the tavern did Sua look at Lukan, frown, and ask:

"Lukan, did you do this on purpose?"

"So that Knight Gawain could teach me [Magic Cycle]?"

Although Lucan had previously said he would arrange for them to stay at a tavern within the Fourth Ring Road and introduce Suya to some knights and nobles, his sudden mention of dinner indicated that he had changed his mind after seeing Knight Gawain. Suya went along with his suggestion and invited the strong and beautiful female knight.

"Yes."

Lukan nodded, then smiled and said:

"However, if possible, I hope you will try your best to persuade Knight Gawain to join our side."

"She is currently the only semi-hero knight in the capital who has not sworn allegiance to any of the princes who came to participate in this royal selection ceremony."

"Moreover, in terms of both strength and character, Knight Gawain is truly a knight among knights!"

Suya nodded, then asked:

"Speaking of which, what exactly is [Magic Cycle]?"

Lucan immediately replied, "That is exactly what you are looking for—power, or rather, a means."

Sitting next to Suya, Melly dipped her finger in water and drew a large circle on the table, then drew a small person inside it.

"Those who become heroes in the purest way, or those with special physical constitutions, find it difficult to replenish their energy and maintain their enormous daily consumption in ordinary ways."

"In order to avoid spending too much time on eating and drinking every day, they developed an inherent ability called 'Magic Cycle'."

"To be precise, this is a way of linking to the 'Big Source'."

"By placing oneself within the omnipresent Great Source, one can replenish the body's consumption through the absorption of magic. Depending on the environment, this can address about 70% of the body's basic needs. At the same time, the body will also be partially strengthened during the exchange of magic."

Suya roughly understood the effect of this ability, and soon he grasped the key point in Meryl's words:
"To become a hero in the purest way?"

Mary nodded and explained:

"Overall, becoming a senior professional or a master is not too difficult."

"The true distinction between strong individuals lies in their hero level."

"Take masters as an example; there are countless paths to becoming a master—"

"To earn a name for oneself on the battlefield, to attain a high position in the secular world, to overcome technical difficulties through the study of magic theory, to become a magician, to become an alien, to join the church and directly demand from God, and to create one's own mystique as a noble."

Meryl tapped the table and continued:

"However, there are only two ways to eventually reach the level of a hero, and the two ways can be done in parallel."

"First, it is the martial arts that I have summarized and mastered by combining my own combat skills to the extreme, and the physical training that has broken through the second limit, reaching a level far beyond the conventional sense of a semi-hero. Through this power that surpasses human imagination, I can complete different [deeds], obtain different inherent abilities, and sublimate my own [Noble Phantasm]."

"Such as 'Intuition', 'Magic Release', 'Invincible Against Ten Thousand', 'Seven In and Seven Out', 'Dragon Slayer', 'Beast Hunter', 'Bathing in Dragon Blood', 'Dragon Knight', 'Glory of Masochism', 'Unyielding Will', etc."

"Second, by collecting a massive amount of other people's faith, or by directly becoming the object of a mystery, one can obtain the inherent abilities and [Noble Phantasms] that match the role by playing the role."

"Such as 'leadership qualities,' 'a dazzling journey,' 'military strategy,' 'high-speed divine pronouncements,' 'blasphemous aesthetics,' and so on." After Merry finished her brief introduction,
At this time,

Lukan then looked at Suya and revealed his true intentions:
"The power achieved through the two paths is neither superior nor inferior. However, the former may be purer and more authentic than the latter. If the latter loses authenticity in the process of playing the role and causes people to lose trust in it, it will immediately lose all the power it has gained."

"Persuade Gawain,"

"Then you can learn from the Knight Gawain how to become a semi-hero like her, more than ten times stronger than Hector."

"At the same time, this royal selection, which will be held in the capital, is also a ceremony for shaping 'heroes'!"

“These are two paths, but they can absolutely run in parallel.”

Suya thought about it and realized that adults should have it all.

So he slowly raised his head, looked at the three of them, and asked, sitting upright:
"So what should I do next?"

Lucan smiled slightly; he had already prepared a plan for this.

"For this royal selection,"

"We will mold you into a perfect knight!"

"Besides demonstrating to others your loyalty to the Knight of Gawain, the Knight of Gawain's own role in teaching is also indispensable."

"After all, whether or not you carry out this scam, you need to gain power first and become a master!"

"For you, to complete this step, you need to embark on the first path and truly bring your body to the level of a master."

"And to accomplish this, we need to do the following—"

"I'll make sure you're full."

Upon hearing this, Suya's expression froze, and she looked down at the food on the table.

Even now, the meat of monsters like black dogs, fire lizards, and dragon eggs is not enough to fill one's stomach. Moreover, judging from Gawain's reaction, the prices of these dishes must be sky-high, which is why even a half-hero dares not consume them easily.

In this situation,
The [Magic Cycle] that Gawain can teach Suya is an innate ability that is so powerful that Suya can live on air without worry!

Thump, thump!

At this moment, Lukan tapped the table with his fingertips, drawing everyone's attention, and spoke with a solemn expression:

"Of course, [Magic Cycle] can only solve 70% of the needs. In addition, we need some higher-level magical beast ingredients to meet the requirements for our king to advance to the master level."

Lukan looked at Suya and said:

"In the next few days, I will trouble you to accept the instruction of Knight Gawain. As for Morgan le Fay, I need to find someone to gather information and then think of a solution."

"Excuse me, could you spare me a moment?"

Suya then looked up at the three of them, scratched his head, and...

"Before that, we need to give Gawain about 2000 gold pounds for his studies tonight. Where are we going to get that?"

"Who's going to pay for this meal?"

Lucan's smile froze.
Seeing his expression, Suya knew that this guy had no intention of paying at all.

quickly,

Sua, Lucan, and Dagonet all turned their heads to look at Merry, who was inserting a straw into a glass of honey ice wine and preparing to drink it.

Upon seeing this, Mary opened her eyes wide in horror.
"Wait, why are you all looking at me?"
