Chapter 6: Seek energy (it’s really hard to think about the title)

　　 The daylight had just turned on the next day, and Adam still came to work in the stables, feeding, cleaning the fur, and cleaning, the various processes are no different from before. However, after the work was completed, he did not leave directly as usual. Instead, he opened the door that was supposed to be closed and stood quietly on the side.
Since he can simply control the power, he has discovered another use of mental power. This special energy has a powerful perception ability, which is far stronger than the naked eye. There are no dead ends or blind spots in the range, just like now he does not have any. I turned around and found someone had arrived.
　　Ophelia was still dazzling, she passed by Adam, nothing unusual, like facing an ordinary servant in a manor.
　　 She is here to take her mount, the horse with unicorn blood that she named Wuyun.
For Ophelia, who has the rank of a great knight, this hybrid horse can no longer provide any additional combat power. When the great knight’s vitality is fully erupted, the horse will directly collapse, and the pure warcraft mount is not the power of the knight to tame. Yes, so the war horse returned to its original function in the hands of the great knight and was only used as a means of transportation.
　　Ophelia didn't say a word. When Wuyun left the stable, he swept Adam with his tail. Adam didn't say a word, and closed the stable and walked towards the cafeteria.
　　Ophelia rode a dark cloud out of the manor and galloped towards the Northland Cold Maple City. She was going to fulfill her promise.
She knew that her father, Earl Johnson, was never a kind person. He abides by the bottom line that a nobleman and a knight should have, but he will not act pedantically and completely in accordance with the spirit of chivalry. If Ophelia does not ask, Johnson The earl might force Adam to sign a contract and order Adam to give up his status as a freedman and become his subordinate. If Adam loses the opportunity to become a mage because of this, it will cause Ophelia’s promise to break his promise, which is a knight’s Spiritual impurity.
As for Adam’s ability to cope with the coercion and temptation of Marshall and Dennis, Ophelia didn’t care. In her heart, Earl Johnson was an irresistible factor. This powerful man like a beast could not resist even with her current strength, and her The two elder brothers are ordinary beasts at best. If Adam can't even deal with this level of threat, then it is the best choice to be a knight honestly, no matter who he works for.
　　 Cold Maple City is the center of the Northland. It is a large city. The city lord’s mansion where the earl lives is located in the center. Ophelia and the dark clouds drove straight in, without anyone blocking it.
"Ophelia, what's the matter with you?" Earl Johnson sat on the huge chair above. This is a majestic man. Even now he wears steel armor. The giant sword and the knight's gun are in his hands. Nothing seemed to threaten him wherever he was.
　　Ophelia laughed at herself, this is her father, this way of speaking like a stranger.
　　 "About Adam, my groom. I hope I can take him to meet the Master Mage from Moldo Mage Academy." Ophelia made a straightforward request.
　　Earl Johnson didn't have any expressions. Yesterday, he was surprised when he learned that Adam suspected that the energy ran away during his first practice, but he was only surprised, and there was no joy.
　　Although Adam works in his manor, he is a free citizen. The guardian knight of the family is not credible unless he cultivates loyalty since childhood. The wandering knight can only be used as a mercenary. But obviously it is too late to brainwash Adam.
　　 As for forcing a freedman to sign a master-servant contract to become a slave or a servant, there is no doubt that it will cause a strong backlash from the people in the territory, and the gain is not worth the loss.
　　 But if you leave Adam in another way...
　　 "Ophelia, you know, if you leave through the qualification test, the family will suffer losses." Earl Johnson said slowly.
　　Ophelia sneered, she had guessed what her father was going to say, ‘sure enough, I’m just a valuable item. ’
Earl Johnson went on to say: "The loss of a great knight, the family has already suffered heavy losses, and now you want to take away another genius who is bound to become a great knight, I cannot accept it. I think you should consider the family, I heard That boy named Adam is your childhood playmate. You should have a way to persuade him to play for the family, right?"
Ophelia said coldly: "No, Mr. Earl, Adam is a freedman and not your slave. He has the right to choose. I have no way or the right to influence him. As for me, sir, my name is Opheli. Ya Johnson, my last name will not change because of whether I become a mage or not."
　　 Then she laughed unabashedly, and then said: "Sir, you should clearly know the talents of your two sons, so the mage Ophelia Johnson is the true umbrella of the Johnson family."
　　 after you die. Ophelia did not say these last words, but said to herself in her heart.
　　Earl Johnson suddenly raised his head and stared at his little daughter. The muscles swelled with anger, and the steel armor made a creaking sound. Ophelia stared at him without showing any weakness. This father had completely disappointed her.
After staring at each other for a while, Earl Johnson did not say much, waved his hand to signal Ophelia to leave. He knew that his daughter was right. He also knew that after his death, the family without the Great Knight was just a piece of fat. The talent of this son is not enough to support the family to continue to rule the North, which is why he acquiesced to Ophelia to pursue the path of the mage, the family needs deterrent.
　　 "Daughter, why are you a daughter." Earl Johnson sighed, sitting alone in the wide hall.
　　Ophelia walked out of the city lord’s mansion peacefully, the war horse black cloud stood outside, very spiritually aware of the host’s depression, whispered softly and rubbed his head with his head.
　　Ophelia patted it and turned on the horse: "Let's go."
　　 The atmosphere in the manor canteen is weird.
Adam was still sitting alone, with food piled up in front of him, and he ate mouthfuls meticulously. The energy contained in every bit of food was not wasted. It was perfectly absorbed under Adam's complete control of the body and strengthened him. Physique.
　　 Next to Adam was a servant lying on the floor, all noses and faces were swollen, and their mouths were constantly sucking cold air. The intense pain made them unable to even get up and leave. The bearded man, Joe, sat down by the door with his head down, his face was bleeding, if it weren't for his undulating chest to prove that he was alive, he looked like a dead man.
The ointment is really helpful to Adam. He strengthened his physique to the level of a normal person overnight, but Adam knew that there would be no second ointment for his use in the short term, so these ordinary foods are for energy Important source.
So this is the opposite of the previous situation. Adam, who is often robbed of food, takes the initiative this time. After knocking down all the servants cleanly and comfortably enjoying their food, these servants are vulnerable and have no resistance. ability.
　　 Every muscle in Adam’s body was shaking at a tiny frequency. This way to achieve the purpose of exercise, but: "Not enough. The energy obtained from low-level food cannot be used for the practice of breathing."
　　 Adam sat on a chair after eating the last piece of black bread and began to practice breathing. The momentum was still great, and the energy of the No. 3 was rushed into his body, and a faint red light rose.
　　 Others were horrified. They had never seen this level of energy response when any knight in the manor was practicing, and they finally knew the gap between themselves and Adam.
After just five minutes of Adam’s full-strength breathing, his body had already experienced an overload reaction. The energy he had obtained from the food was exhausted. Adam stood silently, and his cold and emotionless eyes scanned the crowd on the ground. The servants endured the pain and backed away. They even thought that Adam would choose to eat them. They didn't breathe a sigh of relief until Adam left the cafeteria~EbookFREE.me~ cursed in a low voice, "Damn, this bastard, monster."
In fact, it is not that Adam did not have the idea of ​​eating them. In Adam's heart, he and them are not of the same kind. There is no mentality of'cannot eat people'. The reason for not doing this is just because he has not yet challenged universal values ​​and suffered the consequences ability.
　　 Adam picked up his basket and sickle and walked out of the manor. Today he brought an extra set of flint.
In this relatively closed environment, the delivery of a message is rapid. Now everyone knows that the fool who used to have no sense of existence at most as a joke has turned into a genius. People who don’t believe it were also on the training ground yesterday. The knight attendants confirmed the lieutenant admiral with certainty.
Adam accepted the attention all the way. It was heard that Miss Ophelia had always made things difficult for him after the two masters had saved him. The people who used to make things difficult for him before put away their minions, and the soldier at the door trot over from the fire after seeing him. Open the side door for him, not even a word of nonsense.
It happened to meet Ophelia who had returned, and when she saw Adam in a outfit, she instantly understood the terrible taste of the lower-level servants and knew what Adam was going to do. After a moment of hesitation, she did not give any explanation, and said coldly: " You don’t need to feed me horses from today."
　　 Adam raised his head and looked at Ophelia without speaking, and walked towards the field in silence. Ophelia did not wait for Adam to answer, and the two passed by.
　　 The manor is getting smaller and smaller behind Adam. Instead of walking on the path he is familiar with, he walks deeper into the wilderness. Snow falling from the sky indicates that the late autumn in the north is about to end, and the long winter will follow.
　　 And Adam needs to hunt as many beasts as possible before the snow completely covers the land.
