Chapter 43 Learning
After the dinner arranged by Count Kratos, everyone returned to their residence with satisfaction, and Colin was also arranged in the most luxurious VIP room in the castle to show the Count's respect for Colin. Colin was not polite and accepted the Count's kindness directly.
Delia did not speak throughout the dinner, exuding the breath of being a stranger, and just ate some food simply, but Earl Kratos did not think she was a female companion or maid. After all, there was no female companion maid who would carry a long sword, right?
Everyone regards Delia as a wizard's knight minion. According to legend, the body-making methods of these knights are also made by wizards, which are techniques used to cultivate the strength of the minion. I even heard that many well-known legendary knights in the mainland are also wizard's minions, but these are not something that these lower-level knights can verify.
And Master Colin is also a man after all, so it is understandable to bring a girl knight. These knights have also made up a lot of pictures in their minds as a topic of conversation after dinner.
Colin returned to the room and took out the crystals he obtained and studied them carefully. The two crystals were pitch black, which was lighter than ordinary stones, but Colin could clearly feel the energy contained in them.
But were these energy a little too stable? Colin smashed it into two pieces with force, but the energy in it did not leak at all. Colin then burned it with flames and put it in the water without any effect. They acted like an ordinary gem, without any characteristics.
Then Colin tried to use his mental power to touch the crystal, but this time he directly successfully explored the inside of the crystal. The situation inside the crystal surprised Colin.
"Aren't these all mana power? And they are all energy crystals without any impurities." As a wizard who has been dealing with mana power for many years, Colin is too familiar with this energy. Colin's mental power can clearly see the elemental structure in the crystal, forming a wall densely. Compared with the loose elements in the air, the magic elements contained in the same size of this crystal are too exaggerated.
Compared with the stable mana in the wizard's body, the mana of crystal is more inclined to the disordered mana in nature. It is still difficult for Colin to use it directly, and it does not have the function of regaining mana in his hand as Colin imagined.
"Bang bang bang." The door of Colin's room was knocked, and then a cold voice came: "It's me."
Colin immediately heard Delia's voice, which was told by Colin. Colin asked her to come over. After washing, Colin asked her to go directly to her room. Unexpectedly, her washing time was not as fast as Colin imagined. Colin sighed: "Although he is a paladin, he is still a woman after all."
"Come in." Colin's door was not locked, and the door was gently pushed open. Delia had already changed into the clothes prepared by the Count maid. This should be a ranger's outfit, which looked very concise. The fabric was attached to Delia's body, which further highlighted her figure.
"Come to me." Colin sat on the chair next to the desk, leaning against her bed. Delia looked at Colin, showing a little hesitation, and a look of shame appeared on her face.
When Colin saw Delia's changes, he immediately understood something. Now his series of instructions are indeed ambiguous, but his purpose this time was not to satisfy his desires. It seems that it caused Delia's misunderstanding.
Delia was a little dissatisfied but came to Colin firmly. When Delia became his guard, she already knew everything she might face, death, injury... and what else.
When Colin saw that Delia's face was no longer a dead face. Although it was a little novel, she did not tease her further. Instead, she took out a copy and bound paper and said to her, "This is the knight body-forging technique in this world. You cannot use magical techniques now. This may be of some help to you. I have translated it into a text you can understand."
Delia was a little surprised. She knew how this thing was obtained. In exchange for this body-forging method, Colin exchanged it for the wizard's books. After coming to this world, Delia knew the power of a wizard intentionally or unintentionally, and the difficulty of becoming a wizard and the preciousness of a wizard's books.
Did he change it specifically for himself? Delia unconsciously thought of this and felt a little touched, but she still hesitated and had not accepted this book of the Long River Body Forging Technique.
Colin didn't know that her idea of using Delia to experiment with body-forging was misunderstood by her, and explained to her: "You have to know how long we will be in this world. If you can't be stronger, you will soon become a burden to me, let alone protect me, do you understand?"
Delia looked at the martial arts in Colin's hand, thought about it, but she followed it and said to Colin, "I understand, thank you." The last thank you said very little, as if she was afraid that Colin would hear it, but Colin could hear clearly who Colin was.
"You have to practice well when you go back. There may be a battle recently. I hope to see your growth." After Colin handed over the things to Delia, he ordered her like a gentle elder.
After Colin finished speaking, Delia stood there like a wooden stake waiting for Colin's next order, "Why don't you go back and hurry up and practice? Do you still want to serve me?" Colin smiled.
Delia, who was taught by Colin, forgot her previous anger and shame, but now she feels a little shy. These feelings have not appeared in herself as a paladin for a long time. Since she came to this world, Delia has not noticed that she is gradually changing. I wonder if it is because the pillars in her heart are missing and she is instinctively looking for new support.
Delia returned to her room, which was just next to Colin. This was what Delia asked for. After all, she was still Colin's guard and she had to do the corresponding responsibilities.
Delia rarely reads books. Compared to Lian, who likes to read knight novels, she may pay more attention to the teachings of the Lord of Dawn. However, after Delia opened up the long river body-forging method that Colin sorted for her, she couldn't help but admire his knowledge. Even someone like herself who only knows how to use knife force can smoothly understand the boring and obscure body-forging method.
Many things that Delia may not understand, Colin thoughtfully explained to her with notes, and even attached her own experience to help Delia learn faster.
Delia looked through the body-forging technique and gradually became addicted to it. For this kind of martial art that can enhance her strength, it has to be said that it is very attractive to warriors like Delia. Relying on Delia's talent and Colin's notes, Delia successfully learned the long river body-forging technique overnight and successfully got into the door.
