The Wizard: Starting with the Omniscient Cube

Prince Swan felt a pang of regret, paid for the potion, and sent his new steward to retrieve the items belonging to the former steward, Mantis Knight.

"Hehe, Old Swan, I didn't expect you to actually care about your subordinates. This isn't like you at all."

"Enough with the nonsense."

Prince Swan threw the Mantis Rider's undergarments inside.

"Bang!"

The clothes caught fire, producing a cloud of ash. Within the ash cloud, a lion-man appeared, stepping on the chest.

"It seems your subordinate is dead, killed by this lion-man," the Blood Frog Knight said with amusement, still enjoying the spectacle.

"Lion-type knights are quite rare. Shall I look for one for you?"

"No need to see me out."

Prince Swan was in a bad mood. In order to find out the truth, he paid with five doses of enhanced focus potion. This potion was a level stronger than the ordinary focus potion and was effective even against Grand Knight level powerhouses.

As for this lion-man, he must be connected to the Chengshi territory. However, the Chengshi territory has already declared bankruptcy, so finding one person will not be easy.

"Cultivation is still the most important thing. The situation makes even a powerful knight like me uneasy. This lion-man knight will definitely reappear. I should send someone to keep an eye on him."

After giving the order, the Swan Prince disappeared into the castle.

The Blood Frog Knight was riding towards the next prince's territory, still chuckling as he said, "Interesting. Have someone keep an eye on this Lionman Knight and let me know if there's any news. Making this reclusive Swan Prince owe us a favor is a worthwhile deal."

"Master, this is a concentration potion I got from my father. He's out of these too." Drake put down the potion and hurriedly left. "The kingdom has issued an order to increase the military expenditures paid by duchies by 50%. I need to go and allocate some gold coins."

"This chive has been harvested by the Duke, but it's none of my business for now. Being a lord isn't easy." Lin Wei remained silent.

"Now I have an extra concentration potion, which should be enough for me to cultivate for at least another six months."

……

Six months have passed, and the Golden Harvest Festival is in September.

[Disguise skill experience points +9, after being tripled by Deep Blue Face, experience points +9]

[Disguise Technique: Tier 2 → Tier 3 (7/1000)]

"My disguise skills have also reached level three. For the past month, I've been either forging iron or practicing combat techniques, because I've already run out of focus potions." Lin Wei rubbed his face, which now showed a different appearance, and said, "I can't live a single day without the potions. I always feel like my cultivation speed is too slow."

"This month is also the day I've arranged to meet up with Red Horse Knight, Nightingale Knight, and Carp Knight to go out for a stroll."

Not long after, Lin Wei met three of his former teammates in the Knights Hall.

The Nightingale Knight was still as graceful as ever, drawing the attention of all the other knights.

The Carp Knight has lost much of his childishness and is now a qualified young knight, though he is still older than Lin Wei.

What surprised Lin Wei the most was the Red Horse Knight. The old knight, who was originally in his twilight years, was full of energy and looked like a middle-aged man.

Everyone greeted Lin Wei, for no other reason than that Lin Wei was the last to arrive; the other three had already arrived.

"Senior Red Horse, you've broken through?" Lin Wei asked in surprise.

"Let's talk about this in another way." The red-horse knight led the three into a private room in the Knights' Hall. "It's safe here, and suitable for discussing business."

"Of course Senior Red Horse broke through! Only a Grand Knight can have the effect of prolonging life," the Nightingale Knight explained to Lin Wei with a smile, unable to contain his excitement.

"Senior Red Horse is on par with my father, Prince Koi; they're both my idols," the Koi Knight said casually.

"Your father is the Koi Prince?" Everyone turned to look.

Lin Wei was equally curious. If this kid wasn't one of his own and he hadn't already filled all his recruitment slots, he would have wanted to recruit this prince's son.

Prince Koi has a good reputation among the princes. He even signed a petition opposing the dukes' increased military spending, which kept the increase to within 50%, otherwise it would have been even greater.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, the Red Horse Knight said somewhat seriously, "Lion Knight, after my breakthrough, I joined the Brotherhood of Knights, and there's an inquiry within it. At least two prince-level powerhouses are inquiring about the movements of the Lion Knights, and I think this might be related to you."

The atmosphere froze instantly.

"Lion Knight, you're really something! Several great knights are watching you," the Lark Knight joked.

Lin Wei pondered for a moment, then smiled wryly and said, "I roughly know who it is, but I have absolutely no clue about the other prince."

"It definitely can't be my father," the Carp Knight declared, patting his chest.

This sudden attention from two princes put Lin Wei under immense pressure, which was not a good thing. One of them was most likely Prince Swan.

He had been very low-key, but he still caught the eye of a big shot.

Knight Lin Wei bowed and said, "Thank you for informing me, Senior Red Horse. Otherwise, I would still be in the dark. If my movements were discovered one day, I'm afraid my life would not be long."

"You're welcome. Thanks to you, we all gained a lot from the last expedition. I don't want the Lion Knight, this brilliant young knight, to be wiped out one day." The Red Horse Knight paused. "And I also advanced to the level of a Grand Knight because of it."

Lin Wei said earnestly, "Thank you very much, senior."

The Nightingale Knight stepped in to ease the tension, saying, "Senior Red Horse, please tell us about the changes in the Great Knight."

"Yes, tell us about it."

"Hey everyone, take a good look."

The red horse knight stomped his feet on the ground and instantly transformed into a tall and mighty red horseman, standing five meters tall. A faint crimson aura appeared beside him, pushing Lin Wei and the others aside like a blower.

None of them could stand steadily, and except for Lin Wei, none of them could open their eyes.

The red horse knight transformed into human form and laughed, "Haha, I'm not skilled enough yet. This aura is called Armament Haki. Apart from extraordinary beings who can completely integrate it into their breathing techniques, Armament Haki is the greatest improvement."

"After being covered in armored aura, ordinary knights cannot get close; they are not even in the same league."

"Unfortunately, my Red Horse Breathing Technique is only a mid-grade breathing technique, and I can only cultivate it to the level of an ordinary great knight."

Armed air?

Lin Wei was also hearing this word for the first time, and he silently made a note of it.

Unfortunately, Lin Wei's own Lion Breathing Technique and Rose Breathing Technique are only mid-grade breathing techniques, and it seems that he can only cultivate them to the level of an ordinary Grand Knight.

"I'll think about these things after I've cultivated to the level of a Great Knight. I still have the Hyena Breathing Technique and the Mantis Breathing Technique. Kardashian is still extracting bloodlines."

Lin Wei asked curiously, "Senior Red Horse, are there any realms beyond the ordinary Great Knight?"

The Red Horse Knight replied, "Of course there are. Next up are the Supreme Grand Knights and the Epic Knights."

"These correspond to superior and supreme breathing techniques, respectively. Only when the breathing technique meets the requirements and one has sufficient talent can one reach the target level."
