Chapter 134 - Knighthood
Chapter 134 – Knighthood
William didn't answer immediately, he just kept on tapping on his armrest for a few seconds…
In the end, he nodded, "I see no problem in this… currently, there is no one in the royal family's core members That is close to breaking through to Knighthood other than my little brother, and I won't haggle with you for those distant relatives, so I won't make it difficult for you in this matter.. for now…
as for asking for an oath on the tablet is understandable too, it's your technique after all and you have the right to protect it… but ten million gold coins? Are you out of your mind?"
Robin was shocked by the prince's words, this was the last point he thought he would reject, "What is wrong with that?"
William looked at the patriarch, "Can I have a little help here..?!"
"Aha-haha, sorry about that, Robin has gotten used to hearing big numbers too much…." Then he quickly looked toward Robin in a pleading way, "Boy, ten million coins is not a number you can casually say, it will take a huge bite of the Royal family's treasury,
since they knew you, their expenses have increased dramatically by sending half a million gold coins annually and they even sent an extra million gold coins last year because of what happened with that saint who tried to attack you, not speaking about the tens of thousands of gold coins they spent monthly in our Jura auction house … please stop pressuring the Royal family, leave something in their treasury!!"
Robin scratched his head, it seems that the patriarch's previous talk about the *inflation* due to the appearance of his innovations was correct, his work is increasing but the amount of gold in the kingdom is fixed,
Robin sneered Sarcastically… his innovations cannot be valued in gold, but even this was limited…
"Sigh~ only 5 million gold coins then, and I won't hand you over other law technique keys this year, that's my last offer."
Even after dropping the price in half, William's eyelids trembled for a moment at hearing this enormous amount…
But after taking a quick look at Alfred, whose eyes began to twinkle with excitement, he sighed and said, "Alright, Alright… I agree"
"Excellent!" Robin nodded happily, "Uncle Brian, do you have a single slot Oath tablet or are they all sold out?"
"Of course I have one!" He reached into his pocket and pulled out a metal plate slightly smaller than his palm
"…You keep it in your pocket? nevermind.." Robin took the tablet and passed it to Prince Alfred, then dictated the oath and made him inject his soul sense into the tablet and repeat slowly.
After he finished, Robin patted the prince's shoulder, "You are the first person to benefit from a law technique I made for my children while you are not even a direct surrogate of mine… use it well."
Prince William stood and patted his little brother on the shoulder excitedly, "Haha that's excellent, I have no doubt that you will learn the technique of an exceptional law… but where is the technique?"
"Sorry, but I will not write the technique manually, go to Caesar in the new lands and take with you a single use sound talisman… When you reach Caesar, activate the talisman and I will tell him to teach you the technique orally and convey to you his long experience in using it, he will be A personal tutor for you for a month, after which you can go back to the Capital and do whatever you want."
"But where do I find him? it is said that he is roaming your new lands all the time with your other two boys searching for rebels…" Alfred replied
"I will send a sound message to uncle David and have Caesar wait for you at the main factory, and Uncle Brian will send a knight to show you the way, is that okay?" Robin pointed at the patriarch
Alfred nodded, "Alright!"
Robin turned back to look in William's direction and tossed the scroll he was still holding at him, "These are the minor keys I've prepared for this year, since we have agreed I don't need to hand them over this year, consider it next year's key… This will save you the trouble of sending someone to take it next year, our five years agreement is almost done.. only one key to go."
Then, after a few more pleasantries and formalities, Robin stood up and left the office, heading back to the guest house again…
—————————
Robin returned to his seclusion and his oblivion to the speed of the passing of days
Two months after his meeting with the two princes, the way to build the Pillars of the path of the truth began to take shape before his eyes, some of the things that were blocking his path were removed and he had the general idea of how to build his pillars now
During the following month, he entered complete seclusion, in which he focused all his attention on building his Pillars, not moving a single step outside his room the whole time.. and on day 33 he finally did it
Robin Burton has officially become a Level 11 Knight!
The first thing he did after he finished forming the eleventh level pillars was not to test his strength and not check how far his life force had reached, but rather directly rose and lit a fire using some sheets from his bed
And the result was not what he expected.
Robin did not hope for a big change after getting into the Knighthood, as he only translated what he already knew and mastered to a solid form for a new cultivation level, that is it…
all he wanted was to reduce research times and increase the strength of mental and spiritual a little bit as well.
And he lit that fire to see if there was something cleared in a way that will reduce his research time as he was hoping…
But what he saw in the fire was not what he was preparing for… This was not what he had been seeing before he became a knight!
Or, more precisely, it is *more* than he had been seeing before!
Everything he knows about fire is still in front of him more clearly than before and the connection between the different 3D patterns in the main body is as clear as the sun in a clear sky, perhaps if Robin had seen this earlier he would have finished the perfect major fire heavenly law technique in a few months less…
But what amazed him most is that his eyes can now penetrate deeper and see patterns in the flames that he could not see before… but at the same time, he felt that this does not mean that what he was seeing before was incorrect.
After examining the patterns for about another two hours, he was sure that this was without a doubt the second stage of Major Heavenly Law of Fire!!
The second stage of a Major Heavenly Law… this was no joke.
even for any minor heavenly law no matter how weak it is, any law technique that has a second stage meaning that it can be used to reach the realm of sainthood, this type of technique what gives the ancient noble families their stature, it is the top guarded possession for any Duke family… it is invaluable even within empires!
Robin has always been annoyed at thinking about the future of his children's law technologies, as it is the squeezes his intelligence and his efforts to discover the first stage of the law, he didn't leave a single pattern in sight that he didn't use, he even went the most inhospitable environment like volcanos to make sure that he didn't miss a thing
After he finished the fire heavenly law technique the first time and after his head cooled down, a question was raised high… what will happen when he considers starting to research the second stage of any law?
was there even a second stage in terms of the pure patterns that he sees? if there isn't then why are these second stage techniques are more powerful?
was the truth a path that will show him the beginning of the road then he would have to take The long way afterward?
In his previous assumption, He decided that when one of his kids reaches level twenty, he will need to enter into seclusion for a few decades until he finds a way to reach the second level of one of those laws!
But even though the patterns he sees now are a bit confusing, it was exactly as he used to see the first stage patterns before…
if he has enough time, there is no doubt that he can find them all and compile them to make the second stage technique for one of the strongest laws that have appeared in this world!
