章節 11: Arrival
"The Great Plains of Death is indeed a place no ordinary person can cross!"
George sat in the carriage as his body constantly moved up and down. The tiny window opened as a golden ray of sunshine peeked in, giving the interior of the carriage a trace of liveliness. Next to him stood a few injured nobles. The rest were reading books or riding horses outside. After all, with half of the black-robed knights dying, apprentices had to fend for themselves.
It had already been over twenty days since the attack of the plains direwolves pack. During these twenty days, the travelling party encountered an danger on a daily basis as they ventured deeper into the plains.
Besides the plains' direwolves, there were flocks of huge black birds that were several meters tall and even enormous monsters, dozens of meters long, which looked like sabre-tooth tigers, except their bodies were like tiny mountains. Just their aura alone caused George to feel suffocated.
Fortunately, the deaths of the apprentices seemed to have reached the limit and the white-robed acolytes had started to act. Not only did they set up magical defensive arrays on the carriages, they also directly stepped forward to disperse the animal groups that attacked. Through these measures, a large number of casualties was prevented.
George never stopped practicing the Lionheart Breathing Technique. After all, ever since he had broken through the knight realm, he could use internal energy, which increased its effectiveness by several folds.
[You have successfully completed a [Lionheart Breathing Technique] Cycle. Your strength, dexterity and vitality is expected to increase by 0.006, 0.005, and 0.005 respectively. Internal energy has increased by 0.01 point.]
Following this growth rate, it would take roughly 200 days for him to earn 1 point of attribute in each physical stats. It wasn't a lot, but considering how strong he already was, it was quite the fast growth rate compared to other knights.

Besides his physical attributes, his spiritual force was also rising at a steady rate.
"Alright! Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to the intermediate stop of our travelling destination, the Death Beach! You will all decide on your future academy here, and then return back to your respective academies with your teachers to practice magic!"
The horse carriage halted, and the two white-robed acolytes came out and gathered the acolytes, then the leader acolyte Crow began speaking.
"Now, follow me into the campgrounds, and choose an academy. Remember, you may check on all the various academies, but once you have signed a contract to join one, you must not renege! Anyone who disobeys will be hung to death at the gate of the camp!"
Crow's frosty words made the acolytes hearts turn cold.
"Haha! Crow! You guys are pretty late today!" A voice sounded, and a fatty walked out from the camp grounds. He too was wearing a white robe: "Don't scare these adorable newbies!"
"There were some difficulties along the way!" Crow explained, "A terrifying magical beast took out John..."
"Alright! Newbies! Now follow me into the camp!" Fatty spoke with Crow and the others for a while more, then turned his head and shouted to George and the rest.
"You guys can call me Jevon, of the beautiful Ennea Ivory Ring Tower. Trust me, if you are to choose an academy, the Ennea Ivory Ring Tower is definitely your best choice!"
Jevon said as he brought the acolytes into the camp.
George was about to follow him, but the white-haired acolyte woman took his arm, and shook her head: "Not you, my dear. You will follow me and meet the esteemed Magus Dorotte, who will give you the contract to sign. But first, let's test out your talent"
George nodded. There was no need for him to take a look at other magical academies. After all, he knew that regardless of his talent and affinities, the best academy for him was the Abyssal Bone Forest Academy. Not only did he know that Magus Kroft was kind-hearted, with his biochip, he would be able to master alchemical recipes.
His only worry was the presence of Leylin. The lad somehow survived the dire wolf pack incident, and nearly dying had led him to train even more seriously. Although he didn't manage to become a knight, George could see that he was growing stronger. Plus, Leylin seemed to be suspicious of him already, since his character was not acting like the George displayed in the book.
Still, the benefits far outweighed the risks.
"George, huh...Come here and put your hands on the crystal ball. We will evaluate you", a witch spoke, her face covered under some grey and ominous veil, which probably was a magical artefact.
George didn't dare to make a scene and obeyed. Fortunately, Helena, the white-haired acolyte was near him. He gulped and put his hands on the magical ball. Even though he was George Lionheart in this life, he didn't know whether magic was related to the soul. Perhaps he would not be a grade 5 talent in this life!
