Chapter 302

After returning from the abattoir, Bai Yan felt a subtle difference.

Although it wasn't a particularly significant breakthrough, he realized that he had indeed become stronger.

The increase in power in the true sense was quite evident.

At his level, he could clearly perceive the changes in his soul, and a bit more of his soul's essence was uncovered.

"It's strange, it doesn't conform to the 'norm' like before."

In the past, every time Bai Yan made a major breakthrough, he would directly reach the pinnacle of that level, rarely experiencing significant strength improvement before breaking through again.

For example, after reaching the awakening stage, he could directly utilize all the power of the awakening level, and after reaching the Crown stage, he could also directly utilize all the power of the Crown level.

"Why did I suddenly become stronger?"

He shook his head lightly, choosing not to dwell on it further.

The reason is actually quite simple.

There are too many peculiarities about himself!

A slight increase in strength is normal compared to the various extraordinary experiences he has had, so it's not that big of a deal.

"Did people from the Divine Blade really come to investigate?"

In the room, Bai Yan sitting in a chair, showed a faint smile, having already prepared for this matter.

A team of knights had just entered outside the door, but Bai Yan had already activated his super sensing, discerning their specific situation.

Among this team of riders, actually only the first two are knights of the Divine Blade.

Well, after all, there are only dozens of Knights of the Divine Blade, it is rare for them to act together as a large troop.

After all, every Knight of the Divine Blade is a Crown level power, equivalent to the high-ranking priests of the Church, and if they are sent to the local area, they will all be formidable figures.

The remaining knights who follow these two Knights of the Divine Blade are all subordinates of the Divine Blade, belonging to the "Knights of the Divine Blade" in a lower rank.

Simply put, they are cannon fodder and foot soldiers.

But even an ordinary knight is considered a high-ranking figure among foot soldiers, with higher wages, benefits, and expenditure levels than even the Night Watcher.

By the way, the bottom line for knights is also to "reach Transcendence."

The Knights of the Divine Blade system is the core system of the Kingdom of Dark Light's armed forces, originally intended for the upper class to use various disciplines and honors to recruit and utilize the Transcendent class.

In some European countries in Bai Yan's homeland, the knight class has been completely replaced due to the emergence of professional feudal standing armies.

However, this path is completely inaccessible in Noah.

The reason is simple.

How can steel and gunpowder compare to the well-trained Transcendent bodies?

A Crown level Transcendent is already an existence that ordinary people cannot contend with.

Not to mention the varied and mysterious powers of the Transcendents. In theory, as long as the military literacy of the Transcendent forces is sufficient, they can employ various transcendent powers to play tactics to the fullest.

In Bai Yan's homeland, the records of "one against ten thousand" can only be found in fiction, but in this world, it is a historical fact!

In the world of Noah, the path of becoming strong through one's own abilities is the true way of the elites.

Under normal circumstances, it is so.Follow the latest novels at wuxiahere.com

The sound of rain continued as he slowly got up from the bedroom and walked into the spacious, dark-toned main living room.

The silver-haired tall female knight was already sitting on the light yellow sofa, her deputy was a man squinting his eyes, standing on the side, the two of them had been waiting for a while.

The other lower-ranking knights sat outside, as their rank was insufficient to enter the main living room.

The servants quickly brought warm food and tea, handing over clean towels.

The tall female knight took the towel and untied her silver hair tied into a ponytail in front of Bai Yan , using the towel to wipe her hair, face, and fair shoulders.

Then, she complained with an expression of calm and an unpleasant tone of voice, "This is unreasonable, the highest level armor doesn't have any rain protection feature."

"I know that ordinary people don't have the qualifications to modify 'God's gift,' but adding a low-level spell to this armor should be simple for the great Savior, right?"

The next words from Christine were truly astonishing, leaving the nearby servants and Bai Yan dumbfounded.

"Couldn't His Highness use his brain a little?"

Bai Yan was stunned; this person had such audacity.

Her assistant was a narrow-eyed, smiling, and weak-looking man named Thon .

Thon immediately stood up and somewhat helplessly reminded, "Ah, ah, please, Chief, let's not say anymore. We are still in the middle of work, and the owner of the estate has already arrived."

"Sorry, I forgot. Apparently, we are not here to drink, but to work."

The tall and silvery-haired female knight stood up and looked at "Viscount Edmond." There was no trace of a smile in her icy blue eyes, only a cold and profound gaze.

"Ah, you must be the owner of the Tulip Manor, Mr. Viscount Edmond. Hello."

Christine sighed and said, "I am Christine. As you can see, I am a busy Knight of the Divine Blade who, despite my age, has yet to marry."

The rank of Knight of the Divine Blade was very high, much higher than that of ordinary secular nobles. As one of its outstanding members, Christine naturally didn't need to give too much respect to "Edmond".

In fact, doing this kind of work meant offending people.

Assistant Thon smiled and said, "You should just answer directly. Our boss has always been this straightforward...so she can never get married."

Suddenly, Christine turned her head and stared at her assistant for ten seconds, and the latter trembled and lowered his head.

Bai Yan remained silent for a while before saying, "I had absolutely no involvement in this matter."

"I'm sorry, I might have been a bit aggressive just now." Christine nodded upon hearing the direct answer, finally stopping her probing and smiling.

Then, she quickly finished all the snacks and tea handed to her by the servant, got up, and was about to leave.

"To be honest, I really wished you were the culprit. It would have been easier to just take you back. It's a pity though, now we have to work overtime... sigh."

Bai Yan had no idea how to respond to these words, but he finally understood why Christine couldn't find a suitor.

In the Kingdom of Dark Light, most women would get married before the age of twenty, especially those with extraordinary abilities who might marry even earlier. "Early marriage and having more children" was a necessary strategy for every family to maintain their heritage.

She wiped off the crumbs from the corner of her mouth cheerfully and smiled, "Thank you for your cooperation. We'll continue searching elsewhere... The snacks were delicious, we'll visit again if we have the chance."

"Yes, you're welcome anytime." Bai Yan also stood up and nodded gently.

"Let's go, let's go, we'll continue working overtime on the investigation."

After she finished speaking, she patted her assistant's shoulder and left the living room with a smile.

The pats were heavy and made a loud sound. Thon winced in pain.

Of course, Bai Yan had to see them off completely, accompanying them all the way outside the Tulip Manor, before considering it done.

A group of riders continued on their way in the rain, gradually moving further away.

While on the horse, Christine pondered and suddenly spoke, "Although he wasn't involved in this matter, I can sense that this Viscount Tulip is definitely not an ordinary person."

"Very interesting."

Assistant Thon puzzledly asked, "Should we go back and ask again then?"

Christine smiled and shook her head, "Let's forget about it for today. As for the future, he might suddenly be discovered to have committed some major crime... hehe."

"Then, I'll personally witness the moment he gets destroyed by divine laws."

"Meow!"

Bai Yan sat calmly in the study, seeing the cat named "Cola" meowing at him from the bookshelf.

Within his black pupils, there was a deep and meaningful smile.

"This cat is indeed quite peculiar."

Bai Yan didn't know what happened, but recently, the maid who took care of the cat seemed to have been trained by it and became obedient.

He always felt like he had seen it somewhere before.

"The knights of Divine Blade... It would be great if I could recruit their leader into Babel Tower if I have the chance," Bai Yan said in his dream.

Just now, Bai Yan used a trick to deceive Christine.

First, the incarnation, Power Possession "Mysterious Magic" created a regular music box at another location, which looked exactly like the lie-detecting device.

Then, Power Possession "Nightsaber" manipulated time, swapping the two items during the answer, and finally, switched them back.

It's such a simple method, yet highly effective.

If the other party continues to investigate further... he is confident that he won't reveal anything.

"You go out for a moment."

Bai Yan snapped his fingers, confusing "Kale" and making it sway as it jumped off the bookshelf and left the study.

Then, he took out his phone and opened the game "Babel Tower."

Bai Yan chose and sent out "Sword of Demons" to carry out his first weekly mission.

Its mission location is Annottales.

Lately, there has been a significant number of cultists from Dead Silence in Annottales.

And the target of "Sword of Demons" in the weekly mission is precisely these cultists.

Bai Yan still had a deep impression of Dead Silence. In the Noah world, this illegal organization, which worships the "Peaceful Songstress," is the largest in terms of membership, with over a million followers.

They yearned for tranquility.

Dead Silence believes that what people pursue is not happiness.

The so-called happiness is merely a momentary enjoyment to offset the unease and anticipation.

Therefore, what humans and all sentient beings truly need to pursue is...

Eternal tranquility.
