Chapter 33: Knight Badge (Three Chapters Simultaneously Released, Seeking Follow‑up Reads)

Robin lifted his head, a hint of doubt in his eyes: "Lord, please give your orders."

Lord Bloet turned, walked to the desk, took a silver badge from a drawer, and handed it to Robin: "This is the Bloet Family Knight Apprentice badge. From today, you are a Formal Knight Apprentice. I hope you keep working hard and soon become a true Knight."

Robin took the badge, his heart racing with excitement.

The status of a Formal Knight Apprentice not only means higher rank and privileges, but also grants him access to more advanced cultivation resources and Breathing Methods.

That means that once Robin becomes a Formal Knight, he will belong directly to the Lord's private army rather than the domain garrison, and the two differ vastly in treatment.

Robin solemnly pinned the badge to his chest and said in a deep voice, "Thank you, Lord! I will not disappoint your expectations!"

Lord Bloet nodded in satisfaction, then his tone grew serious: "In addition, I am about to enter seclusion to break through the Great Knight realm. During that time, the affairs of the domain will be handled by Damia Great Knight Leader, and the garrison is short of manpower, so you will temporarily serve in the garrison!"

Robin solemnly nodded: "Lord, rest assured! I will certainly live up to expectations!"

Lord Bloet smiled, patted Robin's shoulder, and said, "Very well. I trust you won't disappoint me."

Lord Bloet stood by the study's window, his gaze deep as he stared into the distance, as if pondering something. His fingers lightly tapped the windowsill, producing a rhythmic sound. Inside the study, a half‑human statue in the corner began to move slowly, its stone surface shimmering with a faint aura, as if infused with life.

"Master, how is this young man? Does he have the potential to become a Wizard?" Lord Bloet suddenly asked, his tone tinged with expectation.

The statue's voice was deep and hoarse, as if coming from a distant era: "Hard to say. Those who learn the Knight Breathing Method quickly do have a high chance of cultivating the Wizard Meditation Method, but it's still only a high chance. Unfortunately I am at the academy and cannot go over to test you now."

Lord Bloet's brows furrowed slightly, his tone carrying a hint of resentment: "Is that so? After all these years, my domain has never produced anyone suitable for the Wizard Meditation Method. Is Wizard potential really that rare?"

The statue sighed softly, a trace of helplessness appearing on its stone face: "Do not rush; Wizard potential is already one in ten thousand. Didn't a wild Wizard appear in your domain recently? If you capture him, perhaps you can use his potential to become a Wizard yourself."

A cold glint flashed in Lord Bloet's eyes as he nodded: "I have already sent Malizi and the Cain Brothers to investigate. Since that wild Wizard dared to operate in my domain, he must pay the price."

The statue's voice sounded again, with a warning: "Remember, a Wizard's tactics are treacherous and unpredictable; do not underestimate them. Though Malizi and the Cain Brothers are formidable, they must still be cautious when facing a Wizard."

Lord Bloet sneered, his tone confident: "Do not worry, Master. I am fully prepared. As long as that wild Wizard dares to appear, he will never escape my grasp."

The statue said nothing more, its stone surface gradually returning to calm, as if it had become an ordinary statue again.

Lord Bloet turned, his gaze falling on the faintly glowing Tu Bao Xiong Magic Core on the desk.

His fingers lightly brushed the Magic Core's surface, a flash of greed in his eyes.

"Once I become a Wizard, combined with Great Knight power, no one will ever threaten this domain again," Lord Bloet muttered softly, a hint of fanaticism in his voice.

Meanwhile, Robin and the three others had already returned to the garrison. He did not know that his every move had already been closely monitored by Lord Bloet.

He touched the badge on his chest, his heart full of anticipation for the future.

Damia Great Knight Leader looked at Robin, a trace of satisfaction in his eyes: "Robin, the Lord has high hopes for you. From now on, you must work even harder and not betray his trust."

Robin nodded, his gaze steady: "I understand, Great Knight Leader. I will give it my all."

Damia Great Knight Leader smiled, his tone hopeful: "Very well. This is the Apprentice Breathing Method Secret Medicine bestowed by the Lord. I heard Malizi mention it—no, take one now, and come back next week for the second."

Robin took the Apprentice Breathing Method Secret Medicine handed by Damia Great Knight Leader; it was a crystal‑clear bottle filled with pale‑blue liquid that emitted a faint fragrance.

He carefully stored it, feeling both gratitude and a hint of helplessness.

Obviously, his previous attempt to rush cultivation until his whole body was immobilized had already been reported by Malizi Knight to Damia Great Knight Leader.

"Thank you, Great Knight Leader, I will be careful," Robin said solemnly, a trace of apology in his tone.

Damia Great Knight Leader smiled, patted Robin's shoulder, and said, "It's good for a youngster to have drive, but you must also know when to stop. Cultivation is about gradual progress; seeking quick results only backfires."

Robin nodded, silently warning himself to be more cautious in the future.

Both Damia Great Knight Leader and Malizi Knight have his best interests at heart, for a slight misstep in cultivation can damage the foundation or even ruin one's future.

"Furthermore!" Damia Great Knight Leader continued, "Starting today, your salary will increase by one Gold Coin each month. When you break through to Formal Knight, you'll receive ten Gold Coins monthly and a Fief. This is the kind of reward many dream of; you must work hard and not disappoint the Lord."

Robin felt a surge of excitement upon hearing this.

An extra Gold Coin per month was already a considerable fortune for him, and the Formal Knight's benefits made his heart race.

Ten Gold Coins a month, plus a Fief, meant he would finally escape his past poverty and become a true Knight lord.

"I will definitely work hard!" Robin said solemnly, his eyes full of determination.

Damia Great Knight Leader nodded approvingly, "Very well. I trust you won't disappoint me. From now on I'll assign you more missions and training, hoping you'll grow quickly."

Robin took a deep breath, his heart filled with fighting spirit.

He knew the road ahead was long, but as long as he persisted, he would surely achieve his goal.

His goal since crossing over was simple: become a powerful Knight, conquer a vast swath of fiefs, and then marry several beautiful noble ladies.
