This scene, at first glance, is quite heartwarming.
But from the perspective of life force perception opened up by Arthur and his butler Leon.
Vivi, a seemingly harmless girl, is constantly absorbing Lancelot's life force through physical contact with him.
Arthur felt a chill run down his spine at this:
"What about that girl's unusual physical condition, Butler Leon?"
"I don't know about that, young master."
The butler, Leon, also came into contact with the young girl Vivi, and he also transmitted his life force to her in the form of a waveguide.
Generally speaking.
The precision and purity of the life force transmitted in the form of a waveguide are related to the strength of the knight who activates the waveguide.
As a Silver-rank knight, Butler Leon had received orthodox training within the Kingdom's system and believed that his methods of aura healing were not bad.
But he discovered that his waveguide therapy was completely ineffective in healing the girl's physical "gap".
When Leon was touching Vivi and transmitting therapeutic waveguides to her, he could clearly sense that the "gap" in the girl's life force was very small, just a tiny hole.
However, this small hole is located at the most important point, the center of the forehead.
The space between the eyebrows is the point where the body and soul are connected.
then.
The butler, Leon, told Arthur about his discovery and speculated:
"Her abnormality may not be as simple as the loss of physical vitality; there may also be a condition in her soul that we cannot observe."
However, she hasn't shown any abnormalities at the soul level yet.
"Is this why her 'gap' cannot be repaired with a healing waveguide?"
Upon hearing this, Arthur immediately realized the truth.
He had learned that the essence of the soul is spiritual power, while the essence of waveguide is life force; the two are completely different.
No wonder the continuous waveguide therapy could not heal her "gap".
"This might be some kind of cursed body."
The butler, Leon, pondered for a moment, seemingly finding useful information in his memory:
"A cursed body is said to be inflicted by gods, demons, or evil black magicians, causing abnormal conditions in the body or soul."
To break a curse, one generally needs to find its root cause.
With this in mind, he ended his conversation with the butler, Leon, and walked toward the two people at the guest table in the main hall.
From Lancelot's perspective.
Upon noticing Arthur approaching him, he immediately stood up from his seat without the slightest hesitation.
Then, he again made the gesture of placing his left hand on his right chest to show his respect to Arthur:
"My lord, thank you for taking me and Vivi in."
Arthur got straight to the point:
Do you want to know about your relationship with that girl?
After hearing this, Lancelot turned around and glanced at Vivi, who was holding his other hand.
As her childhood sweetheart who had wandered together, he knew more about Weiwei's abnormality than anyone else, and longed for her to return to normal more than anyone else.
Lancelot then nodded to Arthur.
Next.
Arthur told him about the "natural waveguide" and the suspected "cursed body".
After Lancelot finished processing this information, he looked at Arthur:
"My lord, what should I do?"
Arthur replied:
"Currently, we do not have an effective strategy to address this issue; we can only use therapeutic waveguides to alleviate Vivi's physical condition."
But her condition could worsen at any time, so I hope you are mentally prepared.
At the same time, I don't want you to give up, and I believe you won't give up on saving her.
Arthur had already witnessed Lancelot risking his own life to provide life force to his childhood friend and horse.
He continued:
"You possess a knight's breathing technique of excellent rank or higher, and have innate aura power. Your growth potential and future are beyond my estimation."
Upon hearing Arthur's exaggerated but genuine praise, Lancelot assumed that Arthur was questioning his loyalty in becoming his knight.
So he immediately lowered his head and solemnly said:
"My lord, please believe in my resolve to become your knight!"
But Arthur did not question the boy's loyalty in becoming his knight; he immediately called the boy by his name:
"Lancelot, please remember this!"
Since you've shown the resolve to become my knight, yet still cling to the obsession of saving Vivi.
So what you need to do is to keep the promise you made.
If you can't do this, no matter how great your future achievements, you'll never be a qualified knight.
"Yes!"
Lancelot answered without hesitation.
After Lancelot made up his mind, Arthur smiled with relief.
He was quite pleased with the temperament of this young man, whose loyalty was second only to that of his butler, Leon.
He raised a hand and placed it on Lancelot's back, making a request of him:
"You possess innate waveguide power. Although you have not received knight training, your physical abilities already surpass those of an average young adult."
Therefore, I will have the strictest requirements for you after you join the militia.
"You must, within the next month, use your abilities to win over the 150 members of the militia, gain their approval, and become my deputy commander."
……
Half a month later, a month had passed since the old lord's death.
Blackrock Territory, Western Wilderness.
It's desolate and silent here.
Looking out, you can see a lush forest at the far end.
On the thick trunk of a large tree in the western wilderness, an unkempt old man with disheveled hair sat cross-legged.
His name was Goof, and he was one of the three inspectors of the Blackrock Lynfield family.
Blackrock Territory is divided into three regions:
The western wasteland adjacent to the Monster Forest;
A residential area surrounded by towns;
The northern wilderness area connected by the Cold Ridge Mountains.
He was in charge of patrolling and guarding the western wilderness area.
The patrol work is very tedious, especially in the uninhabited western wilderness, where there is no one to talk to on a normal day.
In addition, the salary from the lord was only so-so, so when the old lord passed away, Gouf had the idea of stepping down.
However, he never expected that he would be valued by others one day.
The son of the old lord, the newly succeeded lord Arthur, reappointed him and two other regional inspectors to continue this job with 30 gold coins, a 50% increase in annual income, and the second half of the basic "Baby Breathing Technique".
Guf thought he was lucky enough to have received half of the "Baby Breathing Technique" from the old lord Richard when he was young.
This is also why he chose to step down at the time of the old lord's death.
But he never expected that he would be able to learn the complete Knight Breathing Technique in his lifetime, making up for the only regret in his life.
Therefore, Guf accepted Arthur's appointment without hesitation and held the new lord in the highest esteem.
At this time.
"Awooo~ Awooo~~~ Awooo~~~"
The loud howls of wolves rose and fell, pulling Guf back to reality.
Upon hearing the howls of a pack of wolves, Guf instantly tensed up.
As he intently searched for the source of the sound, he murmured to himself:
"How long has it been since we've heard the howls of packs of wolves in the Western Wilderness?"
Thirty years.
Guf still remembered that the last time he heard a pack of wolves howling in the Western Wasteland was when Lord Richard first took over Blackrock Territory.
At that time, the Western Wilderness was the territory of a magical beast species called the Wind Wolves.
This pack of wind wolves is a major scourge of Blackrock Territory, frequently invading surrounding villages, harming living beings, and causing widespread suffering.
After taking over as Lord of Blackrock, Richard led his squire knight guard to carry out a cleanup operation against the wind wolves in the Western Wasteland.
At that time, Guf also had the privilege of witnessing the unparalleled knightly power of the previous Richard, who almost annihilated the Wind Wolf Pack with overwhelming force.
Since then, the scene of wolves howling in unison has become a rare sight in the Western Wilderness.
But even now...
The wolf pack, which was not completely wiped out in the past, seems to have made a comeback and returned to this land.
Based on his years of experience in watchdoging and the scale of the wolf howls, Guf judged that the wind wolf pack had recovered to at least 70 members in the past thirty years.
Although not as formidable as the original 200-strong force, their invasion of Blackrock Territory would still cause serious damage to the territory.
"Please keep a close watch on the Western Wilderness. Report any attempt by any magical beast species to invade immediately!"
At that moment, Guf couldn't help but recall the solemn instructions that the new lord had given him.
"Woo——"
So he didn't dare to be negligent and let out a clear whistle.
Soon, a blue-feathered crow, nearly half a meter long, emerged from a tree trunk not far away.
It is a small magical beast, a frost raven, specially tamed by the Field family, and adapted to the harsh climate of the North.
Each area patrol is equipped with one for long-distance communication with Blackrock Fortress.
After his frost raven appeared, Gough had already written down the crisis he had discovered with the wind wolves on a palm-sized piece of parchment.
He rolled up the parchment containing important information, tied it securely with hemp rope, and then handed it to the frost crow's beak.
The specially trained jay opened its beak and gripped the parchment tightly.
Followed by.
It flapped its wings and sped off towards Blackrock Fortress.
But Guf's mission is not over yet.
Next.
He was going to evacuate residents from two villages near the western wilderness area.
The new lord Arthur had specifically instructed him:
"All matters shall be made with the safety of the people of the territory as the top priority."

It was mid-September, the dead of winter in the North.
