Sword Sorcery

Chapter 49 Bottleneck
The next day

Aaron was sitting on the step of the carriage, and the sound of An Geli's sleep could be faintly heard in the carriage behind him—after all, she didn't have as good physical strength as Aaron, and doing so many 'exercises' every night would be very difficult for those with weak constitutions. For An Geli, it was quite a waste of energy.

Therefore, An Geli basically slept until noon, and Aaron, as a formal knight, naturally woke up early with his strong physical fitness.

No. Now you can't simply call Aaron an official knight - in the past few days, Aaron has not completely indulged in the gentleness of Angoli, except for some 'fitness' exercises in the middle of the night In addition, Aaron is still constantly looking for plants that can enhance his physique, whether he is on the road or during the vigil in the first half of the night.

And relying on the enhanced scanning function after the evolution of the chip, Aaron has indeed discovered many beneficial plants that can improve his physique.

However, because Aaron became an official knight, the effect of many plants is very weak. Even the plant with the greatest effect will increase the attribute by about 0.2 points when taken to full capacity.

So Aaron can only rely on "quantity" to win. Unfortunately, even if Aaron can rely on a large number of beneficial plants and successfully push his physical attributes to the peak stage near the official knight, there is also a problem——

'bottleneck'!
It was like a cup full of water, no matter how much it was poured down, it would not be able to hold any more water.

Aaron is like the cup above. No matter how many beneficial plants he takes, he can’t improve even a single bit of his physical attributes. Even after scanning the chip all the way, the reminders all become that those plants can’t improve their attributes.

This means that Aaron's method of directly taking plants has finally come to an end, and he can no longer help Aaron to make rapid progress in the way of knights like cheating.

It's strange to say, I really don't know what Aaron's life experience is. This body actually has the ability to enhance physical fitness by taking some specific plants. Of course, this ability has reached an end at present, and the next road can only rely on himself.

At this moment, Aaron's attributes are as follows——

Host: Aaron, strength: 6.1, agility: 6.5, constitution: 6.2, strength level: formal knight.

Aaron, with an average attribute of just over 6 points, still belongs to the stage of a formal knight, but like Viscount Steve in his heyday, he belongs to the existence with half a foot in the "peak realm".

If the physical attributes go further, I'm afraid it will be able to cause the 'cell transition' again - a substantial increase in the overall attributes, and smoothly step into the realm of the peak knight.

It's a pity that Aaron is stuck on the most critical step. Currently, he can no longer use beneficial plants to greatly enhance his own attributes, which means that he can only improve honestly according to the rules of the knight's way.

The most important thing is that once they are formal knights at the stage of Aaron, any "monster artistic conception" has no effect on improving them, and all they can rely on is the slow self-evolution of the cells-by matching the whole breathing method to exercise swordsmanship, Let the body cells gradually break through the qualitative change stage from formal knight to peak knight through continuous training.

This qualitative change stage will take at least three to four years of hard work, or even longer.

Even if Aaron has a chip to help correct his movements, has the most optimized breathing method, and can greatly reduce the time consumption, it will take at least two years. For example, Viscount Steve in his prime also took almost two years. The time has reached the point where there are two to three years left.

Under such circumstances, it is obvious that there is no way to improve Aaron's combat effectiveness in a short period of time.

Although Aaron is already an official knight with half a foot in the peak realm, judging from the budget of the chip for battle, even if Aaron is facing the last peak knight, relying on powerful sword skills and more optimized The luck route can also be countered.

However, there was always an indescribable sense of urgency in Aaron's heart, as if something terrifying was chasing after him.

This is a kind of wonderful premonition in the dark, it may be an illusion, or it may be a reality.

At least, now Aaron is more hopeful that it's an illusion.
"Since I can't improve my strength for the time being, I should give up the formal knight training that takes too long to take effect—"

Aaron has a very clear judgment on the current situation, and he said to himself in an orderly manner: "Even if I want to take a regular path, I should wait until I am in a safe environment before trying to break through to the peak knight, instead of wasting a lot of money now I have to devote more time to this formal training that cannot improve my strength in a short period of time."

"My strength has already stepped into the peak knight with half a foot. The combat power displayed in real battles can barely match that of a peak knight—as long as I don't encounter a large number of enemy troops head-on, even if it is a group of horse thieves or mercenaries. They can't get any benefits from my subordinates, so fleeing is their best choice."

For example, the group of horse thieves before, under the cooperation of Viscount Steve and Aaron, were killed almost in the blink of an eye.After all, an official knight can be regarded as a terrifying killer against ordinary people. If two official knights cover each other and join forces, unless they use powerful city-piercing crossbows to round up and strangle them, at least they will have to pay a terrible number of soldiers. , it is possible to encircle and kill them-the premise is not to let them break through the encirclement and run away.

After all, it is impossible for ordinary formal knights to choose to be a horse thief. Even if it is not good, they can choose to join some small nobles, or simply become the son-in-law of rich merchants. This is far more important than being a horse thief. It is also more comfortable and safer, without worrying about being surrounded by local lords.

Since there are better options for the future, how can a formal knight have trouble with himself and choose to be a precarious horse thief?Therefore, the horse thief has at most a few quasi-knight-level existences. These are just minor problems for Aaron and others. The real danger worth noting comes from the combined army of the Karas Empire.

"Temporarily speaking, I don't have any means to quickly improve my combat power. Although I have a pretty good combat power, but..."

Aaron shook his head vigorously, threw away the redundant thoughts in his mind, and sighed: "It doesn't matter, it's useless to think so much, the only way is to work hard to prepare."

At this time, Madam Lacey, one of Viscount Steve's concubines, came over and greeted her specially: "Master Aaron, lunch is ready, please inform Miss Angeli."

Although Lacey is one of the three wives and concubines of Viscount Steve, her status in Viscount Steve's heart is not as good as that of An Geli who is the only daughter, let alone with Aya who is responsible for the safety of the entire carriage team. Lun compared.

What's more, now the intimate relationship between Aaron and Angoli is well known.
Therefore, Lacey's attitude towards Aaron is also quite respectful. After all, the young man in front of her is almost on the same level as Viscount Steve in the carriage team.
