Chapitre 115: Chapter 0115: Thorn Chain Quest

Rom had been very excited lately; he thought he would end up like Auden and Gray, unable to cultivate Dou Qi and ultimately abandoned by Mr. Marcus.

Being abandoned and becoming a useless person without Dou Qi was a terrifying prospect.

He, along with Karl, Auden, and Gray, all of serf origins, had been employed as Retainer Knights for Baron Liszt. However, Karl had now become an Apprentice Knight and the Defense Officer of Fresh Flower Town, leading a Patrol Team of twenty men and basking in success.

When meeting Karl, he would have to address him as Mr. Karl.

The change in status brought immense pressure to him, a suffocating urgency as if the giant hand of fate was choking his throat, trying to strangle his hopes for progress. He was terrified of achieving nothing, so he practiced diligently not only during Marcus's lessons but also on his own, with reckless abandon.

Eventually, he successfully cultivated Dou Qi, Primary Dou Qi, and became an Apprentice Knight.
