Chapter 27 Call Me the Lion Knight
It turns out they just had different areas of expertise.
"Count me in..."
"Me too, I chose to join..."
Another knight joined the Iron Deer Knights' team, and after forming a group of four, they left first.
Drake said, "Lord Linwei, it's generally best to travel in a group of four. Too many people will result in too little profit sharing, while too few people will be too dangerous. Four standard knights are enough to handle a honeypot bee."
Soon, most of the other knights were also unwilling to give up and formed teams one after another.
Seeing the knights' undiminished enthusiasm, the old knight shook his head and sighed, "It's good to be young and vigorous; there's plenty of time to squander."
Lin Wei thought that if there were no concrete clues, it would be better to return to his territory to cultivate than to wander around aimlessly like a headless fly.
Time is his most precious resource, guaranteeing him at least three times the cultivation speed.
Drake had other things to do, so Lin Wei told him to go ahead and take care of them, agreeing that he would send money to Chengshibao again next year.
Just then, Lin Wei noticed the inner voice of a curly-haired knight in the corner of the hall.
[Name: Booker]
Attitude: Indifferent
[Thoughts: I do know a clue about a honeypot bee, but this bee is too powerful, almost at the level of a Grand Knight. My strength is too weak; I've only just become a Standard Knight, and my contribution isn't enough. I'm afraid the amount of ancient honey I'll get after forming a team will be very small. The risk is too high, the reward too low. It's better to go back to my clan and cultivate.]
"what?"
"This curly-haired kid actually knows about the honeypot bees, and he also looks like a lord knight."
Lin Wei muttered to himself.
Not only that, the Nightingale Knight also started chatting with Booker, which puzzled Lin Wei. However, he had been probing too many inner thoughts today, and the Rubik's Cube had cooled down, so Lin Wei could only use his extraordinary hearing to eavesdrop.
The Nightingale Knight lowered his voice and asked him, "Sir, do you have any leads? I see that you look very conflicted, rather than as bewildered as most people."
The Nightingale Knight is a merchant knight who often deals with different knights and has seen countless people. Like Lin Wei, she has been silently observing others, but she cannot directly probe their thoughts.
"I...I have a lead." Knight Booker hesitated for a moment, then obediently surrendered his weapon when he saw the well-proportioned Lark Knight.
"So what are you struggling with?"
Knight Booker blushed and said sincerely, "I'm struggling with the issue of subsequent distribution; my strength isn't quite there yet."
The Nightingale Knight was very frank: "If you have concrete clues, I'm willing to match your allocation with mine. If that's not enough, I'll make up for it."
After some hesitation, Knight Booker nodded in agreement.
"You can call me Carp Knight. I've only just broken through to the standard knight level, and my combat strength on land is relatively weak."
"It's alright. My name is Nightingale Knight. In that case, let's find two more standard knights to team up."
The Nightingale Knight was quite strong, and they originally wanted to find another knight, so three knights would be enough.
However, the Carp Knights are almost powerless, so we need to find two more, otherwise the risk is too great.
Upon hearing this, Lin Wei also quietly moved closer, afraid of being too late to join.
The group with the carp rider has the best chance of finding the honey pot bee.
"Lion Knights, it's a pleasure to meet you."
"I think you need a beastman knight to cover your weaknesses. I am quite strong and only need a portion of the resources; I won't ask for more."
Lin Wei didn't want to reveal the connection between his breathing technique and the Chengshi territory, so he planned to call himself the Lion Knight in public.
The carp knight and the lark knight were startled by Lin Wei.
The latter, in particular, sized up Lin Wei and made his own assessment.
This lion rider is no ordinary person; he waited patiently and didn't blindly form a team. He seems to be the same kind of person as me.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Lion Knight."
The carp knight nodded and greeted Lin Wei. The lion knight, this big guy, looked very honest and reliable.
With fewer and fewer knights remaining in the hall, Lin Wei, having no other options, discussed the matter and decided to invite the old knight who had spoken earlier.
For Lin Wei, this was his first time teaming up, and the strength of his teammates was secondary; the main concern was that they couldn't stab him in the back.
The old knight was the one who advised everyone to go back and cultivate first; in Lin Wei's eyes, he was at least a decent person.
If his reputation were so bad, other knights would have already come out to criticize him.
Seeing the old knight's worried face, Lin Wei stepped forward and said with a smile, "Senior, we have definite clues. Are you interested in forming a team to appear? However, the profits must be split equally, with each person receiving 1/4."
The old knight was overjoyed and nodded in agreement, saying, "No problem, as long as there are clues, I'll do it."
"I am the Red Horse Knight. Although I am not as strong as before, I am experienced and I believe I can be of great help to everyone."
"I am the Nightingale Knight, it's a pleasure to meet you, senior."
"I am the Magikarp Knight, hello senior."
"I am the Lion Knight, wishing us all the best."
Soon, the group reached a consensus, purchased some supplies, and set off for the location of the clues held by the Carp Knight.
......
At this moment, in the Rose Forest outside Rose City, on a secluded path.
The experienced Red Horse Knight asked, "Everyone, please share your combat strength so we can plan our offense and defense and avoid any unexpected situations."
"Let me start by saying that I have cultivated my breathing technique to the fifth level and a shield technique to the fourth level. However, due to my advanced age, my extraordinary power has declined, and my strength is only about 70% of what it used to be, and my endurance is also lacking."
"I also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to get more ancient flower honey and see if I could break through to the Great Knight level and extend my lifespan."
Red Horse Knight is very honest.
Lin Wei was a little puzzled: "After breaking through to the Great Knight level, can one also extend their lifespan?"
He had never encountered a Grand Knight before, so he asked directly.
"That's natural. Even a standard knight only lives a little longer than an ordinary mortal and is less prone to illness."
"But once you reach the Great Knight level, you can extend your lifespan by at least a hundred years."
Lin Wei cupped his hands in response, "I see."
"My breathing technique has been cultivated to the fourth level, and I have also mastered a combat skill, a ranged archery skill, which is also at the fourth level."
As a trump card, Lin Wei did not reveal the other breathing techniques and the Grizzly Bear Armor.
As soon as he finished speaking, all three of them exclaimed in surprise.
The red horse knight was somewhat taken aback: "Lion knight, you look very young, and your combat skills have already reached the fourth level?"
"I've practiced my shield technique repeatedly for decades before finally reaching the fourth rank. You are truly a prodigy at such a young age."
"Oh? Is that so?"
Lin Wei was dumbfounded; he had thought everyone was like him.
The Lark Knight said, "Of course, breathing techniques can be continuously improved with enough time, and there are also potions like Concentration Potions that can increase the speed of cultivation. However, combat skills rely entirely on one's own comprehension; it's not that the longer one cultivates, the higher the level."
