Chapter 87 Brother, aren't you tired?
Just as the wizard Randolph was pondering this, Lin Wei suddenly transformed into a mantis-man, his arms like blades, and with a swift movement, he charged back towards the center of the deck.
"Let's go back and fight. I've used up most of my extraordinary power in the Silver Lion form, and only unlocked a small part of the Gray Face. I want to know what the effect is so that I can have more self-defense capabilities in this wizarding world." Lin Wei muttered to himself as he charged forward. "As for exposing my identity, that doesn't seem to be that important. People will only invest if there is potential. Besides, it's just a knight's talent, not a Rubik's Cube or my inherited witch array."
"Dual cultivation of breathing techniques?" Randolph looked astonished, his mouth slightly agape, his expression becoming complex. "A potential epic knight?"
Lin Wei's change in form was noticed by everyone else.
"This..." The Dune Knight's eyes widened.
"Mantis form, so he's the mysterious Lion Knight." The Dune Knight suddenly realized, slapping his forehead.
He had used all his skills to deal with the three sea creatures, and now he was slumped on the deck, completely exhausted.
"I knew it. We're both Grand Knights, but the difference is bigger than a dog's." Ice Cicada Knight shook his head with a wry smile. "I'm only in my seventies, yet I've already cultivated to the rank of Grand Knight and have wizard talent. I'm already the most outstanding person in the kingdom."
"Who isn't? Comparisons are odious. The Lion Knight truly lives up to his reputation." One knight shook his head, his face full of frustration.
The shadow of the tree cast by the man's name evoked mixed feelings in the knights, a sense of defeat and helplessness.
"What are you waiting for? Keep killing! This isn't over yet. Opportunities to fight alongside the Lion Knight are rare."
The Dune Knight was the first to regain his senses. He slapped his thigh and dragged the Ice Cicada Knight toward the nearest seashell siren. He was actually quite excited, and his face showed a look of excitement.
"That's right." The knights smiled and went to find their opponents.
Seeing the knights so full of energy, the nobles present also fell silent. They huddled in a corner, trembling with fear. They were the weakest in combat and had only survived this long thanks to the help of these knights.
Jax, the crowned nobleman, looked at Lin Wei with eyes full of jealousy, biting his lip tightly: "This attention should have been mine."
An hour passed.
There was no trace of the sea creatures left on the deck. The giant squid that had been hovering above everyone's heads had also been killed. Randolph ended its life with a first-circle spell, and the giant squid's huge body fell onto the deck with a "thud".
"One, two... thirteen." Wizard Randolph's face was grim, his brows furrowed, as he counted the people still alive on the deck. "Four of them are seriously injured and will need to rest for quite some time."
"Only 13 of the 28 people are left. If it weren't for that genius girl Annie, I probably wouldn't even have earned enough for my trip. We were able to keep 13 thanks to these knights, especially Lin Wei. That guy looks like a celebrity from the human world. I'm indebted to him."
Randolph had expected Lin Wei to be able to withstand seven or eight sea creatures, but he hadn't expected him to be hiding so much of his strength.
The Sand Dune Knights and Ice Cicada Knights surrounded Lin Wei, asking him all sorts of questions.
"Brother Lin Wei, so you're the famous Lion Knight! You've kept this a secret from everyone for so long," said the Dune Knight, rubbing his aching limbs.
"Haha, I've always been a rather low-key person." Lin Wei smiled and patted the Dune Knight on the shoulder.
"Lion Knight, you've killed nearly 30 sea creatures. Aren't you tired?" Ice Cicada Knight collapsed on the deck, barely able to lift his eyelids.
"It was great, very satisfying," Lin Wei said with a friendly expression.
"Lord Lion Knight, thank you for your help." A heavily wounded knight bowed and said. His neck had almost been severed by a sea serpent. Just as he was about to suffocate and dream of his great-grandmother, the sea serpent was cut off by a mantis blade, and he survived.
"It's alright, everyone has their struggles, we'll help if we can." Lin Wei waved his hand. He noticed that the knights who could enter the wizarding world were all of good character, at least not like the Blood Frog Prince.
"However, I couldn't rescue several knights in time, and they all died," Lin Wei added helplessly.
For a moment, the atmosphere became heavy, and the dead knights were seen as comrades-in-arms.
"Lin Wei, you've done more than I expected. Injuries were inevitable."
Randolph floated down slowly and appeared in front of everyone.
"You've worked hard, Wizard."
Everyone bowed and thanked them with gratitude on their faces.
"Lin Wei, I didn't expect you to be a knight who cultivates both breathing techniques and meditation. The knight's cultivation path has flaws, and I advise you to give it up as soon as possible. However, to reward your outstanding performance, I will give you an extra low-grade meditation stone." Randolph said with a smile, "The other knights each received a different amount of meditation stone fragments."
As soon as he finished speaking, different glowing stone fragments appeared out of thin air in front of everyone, emitting a soft light. The largest of them was the one in front of Lin Wei, about the size of a fist, which stood out brightly in the dim cabin.
"I, Randolph, am fairly fair. Everyone, get some rest. The rest of the journey is safe. I need to analyze the life structure of this little squid. As for the rest of you, heal yourselves." Randolph patted his robes.
After saying that, he found a cabin and crawled back inside, holding a small gray bead in his hand. The bead had strange patterns on its surface and had fallen from the head of the giant squid after he killed it.
"A little squid?" The giant squid he described was just a little squid in the wizard's eyes?
Lin Wei scratched his head helplessly, but he was both surprised and delighted as he grabbed the low-level meditation stone in front of him, his hands trembling slightly. This was an unexpected gain.
He had previously obtained fragments of meditation stone from the statue of the Blood Frog Prince, but this piece was worth seven or eight of them, and its light was much softer.
Lin Wei thought to himself, "Once I join the wizarding organization, I'll have to start practicing meditation."
"Hey, I got three." The Dune Knight grinned, carefully putting the three fragments of the Meditation Stone into his pocket.
"Two for me." The Ice Cicada Knight was equally overjoyed, holding the fragments of the Meditation Stone in both hands. "These are things that money can't buy in the human world."
"I'm content with just one piece," a knight said, clutching the fragment of the meditation stone tightly in his hand.
The non-knight nobles silently retreated to the side, their faces grim; they were lucky to have survived.
Even the crowned nobleman Jax shrank back, his face darkening as he found a corner to heal his wounds. However, as he looked at the dazzling Lin Wei in the center of the knights, his teeth clenched and his face showed hatred.
"Damn it. This meditation stone should have been mine. It's so big, enough to cultivate for a long time. Once I get to the wizarding organization, I'll try to contact my grandfather, a lion knight who is renowned in the human world. He's physically strong, and I think he'll be interested." Jax muttered to himself in the corner.
