Evolution game, nothing more than that!

When the lightning dissipated, his skin and flesh had been torn apart, and his whole body was emitting the aroma of barbecued meat.

Although he was still alive thanks to his ridiculously strong vitality, he had obviously lost his ability to fight.

——Even though frenzy can allow people to ignore pain and continue fighting, and can also double their strength, but when lightning destroyed more than 80% of the nerves inside and outside his body, no matter how crazy he was, he could not continue to move his body.

Gawain did not miss this opportunity. He decisively stabbed the opponent's throat with his sword, then slashed the sword horizontally and chopped off the opponent's head.

The leader of the enemy army in the rear suffered a similar treatment. After being severely injured by thunder, he was killed by a knight under Gawain.

In the blink of an eye, what was about to be a major defeat was reversed into a great victory, and it was an exaggerated result of completely annihilating the enemy. Almost everyone was confused, as if in a dream.

Only Gao Wen frowned slightly and looked up at the sky.

There, he saw three figures floating in the air, surrounded by leaping lightning, slowly descending in altitude.

Three figures fell to the ground, and the soldiers around them retreated in awe. Some even knelt down and prayed, thinking that these were gods who had descended to the earth.

Even those knights who were known for their fearlessness held their swords nervously, hesitating and not daring to approach.

Looking at the thunders surrounding the other party, even if no one said anything, everyone could realize that the other party was the one who had just brought down the thunders.

They do not think that this is a god like those superstitious ordinary people. In other words, as Christians, they only have that one God in their hearts.

They guessed that this might be a wizard and his maid?

But even if he is a wizard, he must be an extremely powerful wizard!

At least they had never seen such a terrifying spell that could destroy an army in an instant.

Such powerful magic was simply incomparable to the illusions and tricks they had seen before.

On the other side, after seeing the three people falling from the sky, Gawain hesitated for a moment, but finally stepped forward, first performed a knight's salute, and then asked:

"I wonder who these three are...?"

"We are wizards from the East."

Yi Shen replied:

"We have heard that there is a king named Arthur in this land. Although he is a king, he adheres to the spirit of chivalry, helping the weak and fighting against foreign enemies. We have come here to help."

"East……"

Gawain looked at the three people's black hair and asked tentatively:

"Are you from Rome?"

Upon hearing this, Yi Shen exchanged a glance with the two girls, somewhat surprised that they would ask such a question.

Well, the main reason is that people of different ethnicities in this era rarely intermarry, and one can roughly judge a person's ethnicity and origin just by looking at their facial features and hair color.

Black hair is the characteristic of pure-blooded Romans in the Western world.

Of course, because Yi Shen and the other two had oriental looks, Gawain, who had never seen many real Romans, was a little uncertain, so he asked.

Although Yi Shen and the others didn't know what Gao Wen was thinking, they knew that this kind of identity couldn't be taken lightly.

You have to know that in history, Britain and the Roman Empire have never gotten along well, rebelling and surrendering from time to time. The relationship between the native British and the Romans is also very bad. If you really pretend to be this person, you might become an enemy directly.

and so--

"No, we are not from Rome, but from a country further east than Rome."

Yi Shen quickly shook his head and said.

"Further east than Rome..."

Gawain blinked.

Isn’t Persia to the east of Rome?

But the appearance of these three people does not look like Persians.

Could it be the legendary Seris, which is even further east than Persia?

How could anyone from such a distant country actually come to Britain, which is on the other side of the world?

But then Gawain remembered the other party's identity as a wizard, and his doubts immediately disappeared.

For a wizard with great magical powers, it is not impossible to accomplish such a feat.

However, the other party had traveled thousands of miles across the world just to help King Arthur...

Gawain had some doubts at first, but they soon disappeared - words could be false, but actions could not. The corpses of the barbarians and enemy soldiers on the ground were enough to prove that they had indeed come with sincerity.

He immediately said:

"I am deeply grateful to the three of you for your generous assistance in saving our army. Since you are interested in joining my king's army, I will introduce you to him when he arrives with his army in a few days!"

"Oh? You mean, King Arthur will come here?"

Yi Shen raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise.

"Yes, in fact, our army is just the vanguard, paving the way for the main army. The real main force is heading here under the leadership of the king. However, we really did not expect the enemy to be so cunning. If it were not for the three of you to help us, our army would have been wiped out by the enemy. By the time our king arrives here, the situation will be very dire."

Gao Wen sighed and reflected on his mistake.

"I see."

Yi Shen suddenly realized.

He said that the reason why this army chose to station here after repelling the enemy was to wait for the main force in the rear.

Although Gawain was very famous and powerful in the legend, his military command skills were only average. The camp he built was completely unable to withstand the enemy's attack, and he almost capsized here.

"In that case, let's just wait here for a few days. I'm really looking forward to seeing just how heroic the legendary King Arthur is!"

He said so.

Well, she can’t be a tomboy dressed as a man, or the King of the Holy Spear with the heart of a giant breast!

This mission world is about the "Legend of King Arthur", so it should be the orthodox legend route.

Gao Wen obviously had no idea what kind of blasphemous thoughts Yi Shen was thinking in his mind. After hearing the other party's answer, he couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

It seems that this wizard is easy to talk to. He is not the kind of wizard with a weird temper or moody personality. We can communicate normally.

Chapter 166 The Source of the Knight's Power

Yi Shen and the other two stayed in the camp.

In order to entertain them, Gawain specially prepared a separate residence for them in his busy schedule to prevent them from being disturbed by the soldiers.

——Gao Wen had seen the beauty of Yamasaki An and Sakurajima Mai, and he was very worried that his soldiers, who had not seen beautiful women for who knows how long, would one day get horny and do something suicidal.

But in fact, those soldiers who had witnessed the scene of thousands of thunders falling from the sky dared not disturb Yi Shen and his men!

None of them even dared to get close to that place, for fear that these terrible wizards would be unhappy and kill them with thunder, or cast the legendary witchcraft to turn them into frogs, cows, horses, etc.

Even the knights would only say hello when they saw him from afar, and almost no one dared to approach him.

Yi Shen and the others could naturally feel the fear and dread of those soldiers and knights. Although they felt a little amused, they were also happy about it.

In fact, Yi Shen was not idle during these days of waiting.

He is conducting research.

The subjects of the study are the knights of this world.

He didn't notice it at first, but after entering the military camp and observing closely, Yi Shen discovered that these knights all had a kind of willpower.

——It is not the will that only exists in the self and spiritual level of ordinary people, but the willpower that is combined with the body and can enable people to obtain real and genuine strength.

This is somewhat similar to Yi Shen's cellular force field, both of which are the result of a pure spiritual power extending to the material level.

But if you look closely, you will find that there are still differences between the two.

Yi Shen's cellular force field comes from the fusion of his personal will and the cellular will of all cells in his body. It is the unity of "body" and "mind". To put it more mysteriously, it is the combination of "yin" and "yang", and "spirit" and "consciousness". Therefore, it showed powerful power as soon as it was born, and it can almost block all attacks like an AT force field.

But it is different for the knights. Their willpower seems to come entirely from their own personal will and has nothing to do with the will of the cells in their bodies.

Logically speaking, this level of willpower is not enough to affect material reality, but the unique Yuanqi environment of this world provides an opportunity.

The powerful willpower these knights have cultivated through years of training, when infused into their bodies, will naturally lead a portion of the Yuan Qi energy inside and outside the body to merge into their flesh and blood, thereby strengthening it.

This kind of strengthening is not even a one-time thing. When the knights' will dissipates, although a large part of the Yuan Qi that is attracted and integrated into the flesh will dissipate, a small part will remain in the body, giving it a fundamental enhancement.

This seems to be the way knights in this world practice. By constantly training their spirit and body, they project the originally illusory will into the body, and use the Yuanqi energy to subtly strengthen the body again and again, eventually reaching an extraordinary state.

It may seem crude and simple at first glance, but it is actually very effective and has strong universality. Anyone who is in good health can practice it. As long as they have adequate nutrition and a strong enough will, they will definitely achieve something.

——Of course, this is limited to this world.

If it were in another world with a different energy environment, such as the present world, this kind of practice would have no special effect at all and would be no different from ordinary fitness.

In general, this is a practice system that can only be born based on the special environment of the current world.

However, not all knights are like this.

For example, Gawain.

As mentioned before, Yi Shen discovered that the power in Gawain that changed with the rising and setting of the sun seemed to be vaguely related to the path of "harmony between man and nature."

Now that he had arrived at the enemy's camp, he finally had the opportunity to observe closely.

This time, after more careful observation, Yi Shen finally discovered some clues.

He discovered that in addition to Gawain's own willpower, there was another extremely pure, stable, and unique willpower.

It was this force of will that attracted a certain power in the sunlight, which periodically blessed Gawain with the rising and setting of the sun, causing his power to undergo that strange change.

After careful observation, Yi Shen discovered that this independent will was somewhat similar to the will power that had undergone a qualitative change after his visualization, but it was purer and more stable than his, and could even maintain its existence for a long time after separating from its creator.

Yes, Yi Shen could be sure that this special power of will did not come from Gao Wen himself, but from someone else.

He asked Gawain indirectly about the origin of this blessed power.

Gao Wen did not hide this.

He told Yi Shen that when he was young, his father sent him to be baptized in the home of a hermit who was famous for performing many miracles.

The monk baptized Gawain at noon, then prayed for him all night. The next day, he declared to the father and son that no one could defeat Gawain in his lifetime, and that he would have three times the grace, glory, and power at noon.

Yi Shen immediately realized that the baptism and prayer in this story might be a kind of mystical ritual, which transforms the monk's own willpower into a purer and more stable form through the prayer ritual, and perhaps even mixes it with the power of faith and symbols, and finally applies it to Gawain, becoming a permanent buff that takes effect at a fixed time.

Yi Shen naturally had no way of knowing the specific content of the ceremony.

It would be useless to ask Gawain - Gawain was just a child when he was baptized, what could he know?

But now that he knew the general principle, Yi Shen no longer needed to know the details. His own knowledge reserves were enough for him to create a ritual unique to him based on this principle.

This discovery undoubtedly opened a window for Yi Shen to the path of "harmony between man and nature".

Before, he could only use rituals and formations to gain the ability to leverage the power of heaven and earth, thereby amplifying his own strength hundreds or thousands of times.

Although this ritual can sometimes work wonders, it takes too long to set up the formation and is inconvenient to move, making it difficult to use in fast-paced battles.

But if this ritual could be transformed into a permanent buff that was bestowed upon the body, wouldn't that solve the problem?

It's not just him, Yamasaki An and Sakurajima Mai can also be strengthened in this way and make progress together with him!

Chapter 167: King Arthur is not the King of Ahoge

Although Yi Shen wanted to devote himself to the research of his new discovery, unfortunately, the arrival of King Arthur interrupted his thoughts.

That's right, after several days of waiting, King Arthur's army finally arrived at this forward camp.

Gawain immediately took his knights to greet them, including Yi Shen and the other two.

Standing in the crowd, Yi Shen saw the legendary and famous knight king, King Arthur.

Unfortunately, it is not a certain King of Silence who does not understand human hearts, nor is it a queen with a giant breast heart, but a handsome blond guy.

After seeing this king, Yi Shen immediately noticed his exceptionally strong willpower.

To be more precise, this power of will does not come from the opponent himself, but from the scabbard he carries with him.

This force of will, which is different in appearance from Gawain's noon blessing but similar in essence, absorbs and transforms the free energy between heaven and earth at all times, transforming it into an invisible force field that envelopes King Arthur, just like Yi Shen's cellular force field, isolating him from all external harm.

Is this the legendary scabbard that can prevent King Arthur from bleeding forever?

The truth is actually like this!

First, there was the blessing on Gawain, and then there was the protection of the scabbard on King Arthur. Yi Shen gradually realized that the so-called magic in this world was probably the result of a similar force of will.
