Being a knight is not easy

Chapter 60 Concurrent Studies
Kamil gave a wry smile, a hint of helplessness in his tone. "We've suffered heavy losses among our guards, and the few remaining men may not be able to handle the rest of the journey. I wonder if you would be willing to temporarily hire us to escort us to Tutankhamun Province? We will definitely not disappoint you in terms of compensation."

Robin thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, but I need it."

Camille quickly said, "Please speak, sir!"

Robin pointed to a carriage in the caravan, which was piled high with various goods. "I need a carriage to practice breathing techniques. As for the price, I'll just pay the market price."

The so-called market price means he doesn't even know what it is.

After all, at that time, he had never left Blot Territory, and had no idea how big the world was.

Kamil's face lit up when he heard this. "That's easy! Our caravan has a vacant carriage. If you need it, Sir Knight, feel free to take it! When we reach Tutankhamun Province, I'll give you twenty gold coins."

Robin nodded, feeling a little satisfied.

He was worried about where to go, so he could learn more about it along the way.

As for practicing breathing techniques, it was just to remind the other party that he was an official knight, and he had to think carefully before doing anything to him.

After all, there was only one knight in charge of their caravan.

In this way, Robin temporarily joined the caravan and became their guard.

Under his protection, the caravan reorganized its team and continued to move towards Tutankhamun Province.

Along the way, Robin gradually became familiar with the members of the caravan.

Camille praised Robin's archery skills and even offered to introduce him to some clients in the south to help him expand his network.

Robin gladly accepted this. After all, he needed more resources and partners for his future plans.

Robin, on the other hand, was full of anticipation for the future. He hoped to find new opportunities in Tutankhamun Province, improve his own strength, and completely break free from the shadow of the past.

In the carriage, Robin checked the system panel.

Looking at the data, Robin sighed slightly. It was still too weak.

Robin took out the notebook that contained the basic meditation methods.

"Since it's called Basic Meditation, it must be the most basic." He murmured softly, his eyes full of desire for knowledge.

In his opinion, the basics meant being easy to learn and the first step to opening the door to the mysterious world of magic. However, reality dealt him a heavy blow.

The text in the notebook is obscure and difficult to understand, with various abstract concepts and vague descriptions between the lines.

Robin read it word by word, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter.

He tried to follow the instructions in the book, adjusting his breathing rhythm and gradually calming his mind, but every time he tried to enter the so-called "meditative state", the bloody scenes of Winston City or the thrilling scenes encountered during the caravan's journey would involuntarily emerge in his mind. His thoughts were like a wild horse running out of control and he couldn't concentrate at all.

He tried again and again, adjusting his breathing rate and changing his sitting position, but he still couldn't get it right. He studied for a full half day, and as the night deepened, his companions around him had fallen asleep, but he was still trapped outside this basic meditation method, unable to enter.

"How could this happen?" Robin sighed in frustration. He stared at the notebook in his hand, as if in a silent confrontation with it.

But he also knew that dwelling on this was not a good idea. In the end, he could only helplessly turn his attention to the other three breathing techniques.

Except for the one on the wall of the secret room, the other two sets of breathing techniques are common breathing techniques in the territory, which were found in the study of Lord Blot's castle.

He gently opened one of the books and saw "Stone Turtle Breathing Method" written on the cover.

As introduced at the beginning, this breathing method aims to strengthen the body through a specific breathing rhythm, making the practitioner's physique as strong as rock.

This was the breathing technique that Theodore majored in.

Robin tried as he was told, breathing in slowly, feeling the breath moving through his body, and trying to guide the breath into specific acupuncture points according to the routes described in the book.

The first time he tried it, he felt the air rushing through his body, causing his chest to feel stuffy and almost giving him a stitch in the side.

He didn't give up. After adjusting for a moment, he tried again. This time, he slowed down his breathing and carefully guided his breath.

Gradually, he felt that his body seemed to have changed slightly. A weak force surged in his muscles, as if his body was slowly accumulating energy.

But the feeling was fleeting, and when he tried to explore further, he lost that wonderful connection.

Robin did not give up and opened the second breathing secret book - "Snake Breathing Method".

This secret book focuses on the agility and changes of breathing, which is as winding as a snake.

Following the instructions in the secret book, Robin began to try an extremely complicated breathing method, inhaling slowly in three times and exhaling gently like a silk thread.

He concentrated his attention, but it didn't last long before his breathing became disordered and he felt dizzy, as if all the oxygen in his body had been sucked out.

After a difficult exploration of other breathing methods, Robin's eyes finally fell on the "Dragon-Devouring Breathing Method" copied from the wall of the secret room.

He felt a mixture of anticipation and anxiety in his heart.

The frustrations of trying other breathing methods before were still fresh in his mind, but this mysterious "Dragon-Eating Breathing Method" seemed to have a special magic that attracted him to try it.

With mixed feelings, Robin began to try to practice the "Dragon-Eating Breathing Method" according to the contents of the rubbing.

He slowly closed his eyes, adjusted his breathing rhythm, and tried to follow the obscure instructions to guide the breath into specific meridians in his body.

To his surprise, this attempt was surprisingly successful.

The breath flowed in his body as naturally as a fish swimming in water, without any obstruction or stagnation.

In just a moment, he felt a mysterious power slowly surging in his body. This power was even stronger and faster than when he practiced the Earth Dragon Breathing Technique.
