dark witches rise

Chapter 282 Qiao Nuo's Daily Life

snort!
what!
In the sword training ground, shouts and sword clashes sounded one after another, and a group of teenagers waved long swords in their hands.

This is the core swordsmanship training ground inside Nange Castle. The youngsters who can receive training in this training ground are either of noble origin or outstanding talent.

In this training ground where even the children of the earl and duke have, there is one person who is particularly eye-catching.

Even the children of the Earl and Duke were overshadowed by that person.

Grandson of Paladin Roa, Jono Nange.

Under the envious gaze of everyone, Qiao Nuo is accepting one-on-one meeting with the Great Knight Rick.

Grand Knight Rick is the eldest son of Lord Rick, the second son of the Viscount of Derry, the grandson of the Viscount of Derry. He and Qiao Nuo belong to the same family, and their seniority is a generation older than Qiao Nuo.

Rick is in the top five of the Nange family, and before Qiao Nuo appeared, Rick was the appointed heir of the Nange family.

After all, Roja has no descendants.

Rick is the most powerful and knowledgeable in his young life, and he is the first grandson of the Nange family. It is a matter of course for him to become the heir of the Nange family, and no one will object to it.

However, after Qiao Nuo appeared, the heir of the Nange family was directly transferred from Rick to Qiao Nuo.

Naturally, no one would disagree with this result.

It's just meaningless on the surface, but is there really nothing in the heart?

The people around quietly observed Qiao Nuo who was receiving one-on-one guidance from the Grand Knight Rick.

"The great knight Rick, as the strongest knight in our Shenglan Kingdom, is expected to exist in the realm of a paladin, so he spends three days a week to guide Master Qiao Nuo?"

"Actually, Master Qiao Nuo hasn't even learned how to hold a sword, and he hasn't even mastered the most basic slashing of swordsmanship. This kind of basic training doesn't need to bother Grand Knight Rick at all."

"Who made him the grandson of Roja paladin? Master Qiao Nuo is now the heir of the Nange family, and he is very much loved in the Nange family. Even the members of the Earl and Duke family would respectfully call out to him when they saw him."

"Don't you think it's too much to take away the heir position that should have belonged to Grand Knight Rick as soon as you come here, and you still have to give basic guidance to the busy Grand Knight Rick?"

"He has been practicing for a month, and he obviously has the best resources and the best teacher... When I started holding a sword at the age of seven, I reached his level in less than ten days."

"As the grandson of the Roja Paladin, I can't see that he has inherited the talent of the Roja Paladin."

"Hush! Are you dying? That's the grandson of Roja paladin!"

Although Qiao Nuo in the distance couldn't hear the voices of other people talking and didn't know what those people were thinking, the sight from those people still made him feel as uncomfortable as if he was being climbed by ants.

He turned his head and glanced at those people.

A second ago, he was staring at the crowd he was discussing in a low voice, and immediately turned his head with guilt, concentrating on his swordsmanship training, as if nothing had happened.

"Maybe it's just my illusion."

"Mostly it's because I haven't adapted to this kind of high-profile life that I feel uncomfortable."

"I have to work hard, and I must not let grandpa down!"

Qiao Nuo shook his head, shook off the distracting thoughts in his mind, and continued to concentrate on accepting the guidance of the great knight Rick.

An hour passed in a flash.

It's time for Grand Knight Rick's mentorship.

Qiao Nuo wiped off the sweat from his forehead, and said to the great knight Rick: "Your one-hour guidance feels like I have made more progress than my own three-day training!"

The great knight Rick said with a smile: "Because you have never been exposed to swordsmanship before, your progress will be faster at the beginning of your practice, and then it will slow down slowly."

"I have practiced swords with the most powerful swordsman in the village, Buck's quasi-knight! Buck's quasi-knight even praised me for his talent in swordsmanship!" Qiao Nuo objected.

"That quasi-knight Buck is not good at swordsmanship, but his vision is quite good. It won't take long for your strength to surpass mine." The great knight Rick patted Qiao Nuo on the shoulder and said.

"Really?" Qiao Nuo jumped up excitedly, but he quickly calmed down again, "Don't make fun of me, how dare you compare with Rick the Great Knight?"

"Jonuo, don't underestimate yourself, you will become stronger than anyone in the future!" Rick said.

"Stronger than you?"

"of course."

"Better than Paladin Luke, the vice-principal of Holy Roman Knight Academy?"

"Yes."

Although the great knight Rick nodded his head seriously, Qiao Nuo still felt that the other party was lying to him.

He thought he was quite talented. After all, even the most powerful buck knight in the village praised him, and the great knight Rick also agreed with what Buck said, so he thought it was very possible for him to become a great knight in the future.

But stronger than Luke Paladin?
That's the same realm as his grandfather Roja paladin!
Although there are gaps among paladins, his grandfather, as the strongest paladin ever, must be stronger than paladin Luke.

But as a paladin, Luke paladin should have two or three levels of his grandfather's strength, right?With five or six Luke paladins teaming up, even his grandfather can only flee, right?

As confident as Qiao Nuo, since he was a child, even in his dreams, he didn't think he could become a paladin, let alone stronger than Luke paladin.

Things he never dared to dream of before...

However, after coming to the Nange family, no matter whether they like him or hate him, whether they are a humble maid or a noble duke, they all feel that he can become a paladin without exception.

As if his becoming a paladin was a matter of course.

And judging from the eyes, expressions and tone of those people, those people didn't flatter him because of his status, but really thought that he would definitely be able to become a paladin.

The legendary paladins, every generation of Shenglan Kingdom has only single-digit paladins, is it so easy to become a paladin as the ultimate goal of knights?
Qiao Nuo never believed it before.

But after staying in Nange Castle for a long time, he wavered.

Maybe, maybe, maybe... he could really become a paladin?
While Qiao Nuo was thinking.

Grand Knight Rick said to Jono:

"I'm leaving, and Instructor Val will be in charge of teaching you next."

"Instructor Val is a great knight like me. Although his strength is a little weaker than mine, his teaching experience is still higher than mine."

"If you study hard with Instructor Val, your progress will only be faster than when I taught you."

The great knight Rick left after instructing Qiao Nuo a few words.

Before Instructor Val came, Qiao Nuo came to rest under the shade of a tree.

The breeze blew, and the branches rustled.

Smelling the natural fragrance from the trees, Qiao Nuo felt a lot less tired.

"Jono—"

A familiar voice and familiar footsteps approached Qiao Nuo.

Without turning his head, Qiao Nuo knew who was coming.

His childhood friend Doron.

Duo Lun, who is two years older than him, is a good friend he has known since childhood.

Maybe they hit it off, even though Duo Lun is two years older than him, Duo Lun likes to follow him like a follower.

When playing knight games, Duo Lun has always played the role of his knight retinue.

When he left the village and came to Nange Castle.

When he wanted to bring a companion along, the first thing he thought of was Duo Lun.

Looking at Duo Lun who was much taller than his peers and ran towards him with a silly face, Qiao Nuo showed a mature expression that did not look like a ten-year-old child, "I didn't expect you to really become my knight servant."

"Hey, I've known for a long time that you are unusual, Qiao Nuo. I always thought you were the smartest person in our village." Duo Lun sat beside Qiao Nuo and smirked.

With Duo Lun, an acquaintance, chatting by his side, the loneliness in Qiao Nuo's heart caused by being far away from his relatives in his hometown eased a lot.

At this time, a gust of fragrant wind hit.

Two cute girls in cute maid costumes came over with a tray each.

There is a bowl of soup and medicine on the tray, as well as some fruits and desserts.

"Master Qiao Nuo, Lord Duo Lun, please enjoy slowly."

In the past, only Qiao Nuo had a share of the soup, but after Qiao Nuo noticed the envious eyes of his friend Duo Lun, he asked the maid if he could give Duo Lun a share.

He originally thought that the maid would feel very embarrassed.

After all, as far as he knew, these decoctions were very expensive and rare, and a bowl of decoctions was worth tens of gold coins only for its raw materials.

You must know that in the past, one gold coin was enough for several members of their family to barely survive for a year.

The village chief's family couldn't even come up with dozens of gold coins.

Unexpectedly, the maid directly agreed, and the decoction served the next day changed from one serving to two servings.

After drinking the decoction, Qiao Nuo felt that his exhaustion was swept away, and all his soreness disappeared, and his whole body was warm and comfortable.

Qiao Nuo held the fruit in one hand and the dessert in the other, and began to eat it with big mouthfuls.

Qiao Nuo, who finished eating in twos and twos, looked at Duo Lun with a dull expression, and at the dessert fruit in his hand, "Give it to me if you don't want to eat it."

"Eat! Of course I will!" Duo Lun, who was startled, was afraid that Qiao Nuo would really try to grab it, and quickly stuffed the food into his mouth.

"What are you looking at? So engrossed?" Qiao Nuo asked puzzled.

"Ahem." Duo Lun looked at the beautiful figure of the maid who twisted her waist and left with a flushed face, and whispered in Qiao Nuo's ear: "Don't you think those two maids are beautiful? I envy you so much every day." A beautiful maid waits."

"It's really beautiful, but it's still far behind Miss Fanny." Qiao Nuo said seriously.

"What? How is it possible?" Duo Lun looked at Qiao Nuo speechlessly, wondering if Qiao Nuo's eyes were broken.

Miss Fanny is the daughter of the baron of the town where the village they used to live in is the most beautiful woman in their town.

I don't know how many men want to marry Miss Fanny.

But Miss Fanny, the most beautiful woman in the town, was placed in Nange Castle, and her appearance was far inferior to that of the maids.

Qiao Nuo actually said that Miss Fanny is more beautiful?
"When I was eight years old and followed my father to the town to sell wild animal furs, I met Miss Fanny by chance."

Looking back, Qiao Nuo showed an intoxicated expression, "Although I don't remember her appearance anymore, the amazing feeling at that time made me know the beauty of women for the first time."

Just thinking of the beautiful figure he saw that day, Qiao Nuo's body couldn't help but tremble.

"I'm sure Miss Fanny is the most beautiful woman in the world!"

Qiao Nuo clenched his fists and said.

"Really? I have also met Miss Fanny a few times, I think..." Doron tilted his head doubtfully.

"After I become a great knight, I must go back and marry Miss Fanny!" Qiao Nuo didn't listen to Duo Lun at all, and now he only pretended to be the most beautiful lady in town, Miss Fanny.

……

"Doron, see you tomorrow."

Qiao Nuo, who had completed a day of practice and study, lost all energy when he thought of the next thing.

Looking at the people walking towards him around him, Qiao Nuo retreated in fear, "Oh, it's time for the vitality cultivation once every seven days."

Although vitality cultivation can bring him great benefits, it is too uncomfortable and disgusting.

He wanted to refuse, but couldn't at all.

A coquettish woman who smelled like medicine came to Qiao Nuo, the most powerful potion master of the Nange family, Ira potion master.

Looking at the dark purple lips of Ira Potion Master, who seemed to have been smeared with poison, Qiao Nuo said tremblingly, "Can I not do it?"

Potion Master Ira squatted down in front of Qiao Nuo, and said respectfully: "Vitality cultivation can improve your physique, Master Qiao Nuo, and increase your upper limit of potential. Everyone else wants to do it in their dreams."

"I've done it so many times, so it doesn't matter if I miss one more time? Since everyone else wants it, how about giving it to others, Duolun?" Qiao Nuo's eyes lit up.

"Is your friend, Master Duo Lun? If he does it too, would you be willing to do it?" Ira Potion Master asked with a smile.

"Uh..." Knowing that he couldn't refuse, Qiao Nuo thought that it would be better to find a partner to suffer alone, "That's right, if you want me to accept the so-called vitality cultivation, you must bring Duo Lun with you."

"Okay." Ira nodded after thinking about it.

……

In a room with a strong smell of medicine.

More than a dozen potion masters who were rarely seen in normal times gathered here, busy with the next thing.

"Jonuo, what's the situation?" Duo Lun asked in a low voice while looking around in fear.

"We're going to carry out vitality cultivation next." In order to prevent Doron from seeing his real thoughts, Qiao Nuo replied with a straight face.

"Vitality Education, what is that?" Duo Lun asked suspiciously.

"Vitality training can improve our physique and increase our potential limit. Simply put, it allows us to go higher and farther on the road of knighthood."

"Really?"

"Yeah, for example, with your talent, becoming a quasi-knight is the limit, but after the vitality training, a great knight is not a problem."

"So powerful?"

"Of course, there are not many people in the entire Nange family who are qualified to carry out vitality cultivation, because you are my good friend, Duo Lun, and under my repeated requests, Ira Potion Master made a special case to include you."

"Thank you so much! Qiao Nuo, you really are my best friend!" Duo Lun shook Qiao Nuo's hands vigorously.

"It's easy to say." Qiao Nuo turned his head guiltily.

After the potion masters finished their preparations, the cultivation of vitality officially began.

Qiao Nuo and Duo Lun took off and lay on a jade bed made of jade.

Qiao Nuo's vitality training was carried out by the potion master Ila.

Duolun's vitality cultivation was carried out by another potion master.

After local anesthesia is given to the body.

Potionist Ira took out silver needles the size of a human hair.

If your eyesight is good enough, you can see a small insect egg that is invisible to the naked eye placed on the top of the silver needle.

Potionist Ira stabbed the silver needle lightly on Qiao Nuo's body, then pulled it out, leaving the eggs in Qiao Nuo's body.

After placing thousands of worm eggs inside and outside Qiao Nuo's body, the potionist Ila took out a bottle of potion, opened the potion and dripped it on Qiao Nuo's body drop by drop in a certain order.

There are more than a dozen people wearing strange clothes around, dancing strange dances around Qiao Nuo's jade bed.

Qiao Nuo, who felt numb all over his body, knew that something he hated was coming.

The eggs buried in his body began to hatch.

These hatched worms ate his flesh and blood in his body, growing in his body.

Even in the eyeballs, one can see bugs crawling around.

Qiao Nuo felt that his body had turned into a nest of bugs, and countless bugs used his body as a nest to keep growing and multiplying.

Qiao Nuo felt like he was going crazy!

What the hell is this vitality cultivation?

Why is it so weird?Feel like the tricks of the evil witch in the fairy tales you've seen before?

Is the potionist of Ira sure not an evil witch?
Are you sure that the cultivation of vitality wasn't done by Ila Potion Master secretly without telling his grandfather Roja Paladin?
Qiao Nuo wanted to open his mouth and scream.

But his throat, lips, and teeth were full of wriggling worms, and he couldn't make a sound at all.

"What if a bug stays in my body?" Qiao Nuo gestured with his eyes like the potionist Ira.

"Don't worry, these blood-breeding worms are harmless. After gnawing away the impurities in your body, they will be absorbed by your body and become part of your body's flesh and blood." The potionist Ila, who guessed what Jono was thinking, came out. Said comfortingly.

The vitality cultivation lasted for a full three hours.

Qiao Nuo and Duo Lun, who had finished their vital training, were sitting on the soft sofa resting dully. They had no intention of eating the fruit desserts on the table in front of them.

It's been a long time.

The two of them slowly came back to their senses.

"This is the cultivation of vitality?" Duo Lun's voice was trembling.

"This is what my grandfather ordered, and a number of potion masters personally did it to help us improve our physique. No one else has the chance to do it." Qiao Nuo said.

"Can I refuse?" Just experienced it once, Duo Lun is going crazy.

"Are you sure? If you don't improve your aptitude, your life as a quasi knight will be over." Qiao Nuo said.

Doron fell silent for a moment.

When he was in the village before, he thought he could become a quasi-knight, and he almost woke up laughing from his dream.

After all, the strongest man in the village, Buck, who once served as a guard for the baron, is just a quasi-knight.

only--

He thought of those people on the fencing training ground.

Those who are the same age as him or even younger than him are already formal knights.

As the grandson of Roja Paladin, Qiao Nuo, who has the blood of Roja Paladin flowing in his body, must be very talented. At least he will be a great knight in the future, right?
By that time, he was just a quasi-knight, so he didn't even have the qualifications to serve as a knight's squire for Qiao Nuo, right?
"Since you are so smart and powerful Qiao Nuo, you need to carry out vitality cultivation. You are not afraid. What do I have to be afraid of?" Duo Lun clenched his fists and said to himself.

"Hey, I knew Duo Lun that you wouldn't let me down." Qiao Nuo patted his friend Duo Lun on the shoulder, picked up a red and attractive apple from the table and ate it.

Click, click...

"Really delicious!"
