Being a knight is not easy

Chapter 61 Exploitation
Robin was surprised and delighted, and quickly opened his ability panel to check. He saw the following:

Earth Dragon Breathing (Advanced Knight Level): Accelerates health recovery, Knight Level Experience: 1321/10000
Dragon Devouring Breathing Technique (???): You can practice other breathing techniques at the same time, devouring the life force of the breathing technique you are practicing to help yourself break through the bottleneck.

Knight Apprentice Level Experience: 5/1000 (Can also learn Breathing Technique: 0/1)

Seeing this information, Robin's eyes suddenly widened, and it was like a flash of lightning passed through his mind. He instantly understood the truth behind the strange phenomena in the lord's secret room.

It turns out that the evil ritual that Lord Blot performed in the secret room was likely inextricably linked to this "Dragon-Eating Breathing Technique".

He must be trying to reach a higher realm by devouring the life force of other knights and using the special ability of "Dragon-Eating Breathing".

Now I have accidentally obtained it and successfully cultivated it. The coincidence is really amazing.

"It's all fate!" Robin sighed, feeling both sad about the fickleness of fate and grateful for having survived.

This unexpected gain was both an opportunity and a challenge. After calming down a bit, he decided to strike while the iron was hot and try the Spirit Snake Breathing Technique he had failed to practice before.

This time, with the help of the "Dragon-Eating Breathing Technique", the situation is completely different.

Robin adjusted his breathing and guided his breath according to the principles of the Snake Breathing Method.

The originally complex and confusing breathing path now became clear.

His breath snaked through his body like a nimble snake. Before long, he felt a change in his body. An unprecedented sense of agility washed over him, and his body's flexibility seemed to have increased significantly in an instant.

Robin checked the panel again, and sure enough, it showed:

Snake Breathing (Knight Apprentice): Basic agility, greatly improved body flexibility, Knight Apprentice level experience: 3/1000
Of course, Dragon Breathing Technique can be practiced concurrently and becomes 1/1 later.

Robin held his chin and muttered to himself, "It seems that if I want to practice another breathing technique, I must practice the Dragon Devouring Breathing Technique to the Knight level."

As time went on, the caravan got closer and closer to Tutankhamun's province.

During the journey, Robin gradually became familiar with the people in the caravan.

He learned from Kamil that Tutankhamun Province was an important commercial province in the south of the kingdom, and the recaptured city of Tutankhamun was the center of the province. Trade there was prosperous, and it attracted merchants and adventurers from all over the world.

Kamil hopes that he can successfully sell the goods purchased from the Black Forest in Tutankhamun Province this time and make a huge profit.

Half a month later, the caravan finally arrived at Tutankhamun, the capital of the Tutankhamun Province - Tutankhamun.

Camille fulfilled his promise and not only paid Robin twenty gold coins, but also introduced him to several local businessmen.

"Lord Robin, thanks to you, we arrived safely this time." Camille held Robin's hand, his tone full of gratitude. "If you have the chance to come to Tutankhamun in the future, please come find me!"

Robin nodded and said with a smile, "Sure. I wish your business will prosper."

After waving goodbye to Camille, Robin led his stolen warhorse and headed towards the capital city of Tutankhamun Province with great anticipation.

The dusty journey did not diminish his yearning for this bustling city. However, as soon as he arrived at the city gate, he was given a vivid lesson by reality.

"The entrance fee is ten copper coins per person, and twenty copper coins for livestock." A guard at the city gate blocked Robin's way with his spear across his face. The sharp tip of the spear flashed a cold light in the sunlight.

The guard pointed to the wooden box next to him, his tone filled with impatience and arrogance, "Even a knight can't do it for free." Robin raised his eyes and glanced at the guard.

He keenly realized that the opponent was only at the level of a knight's apprentice.

Next to the wooden box, there was a formal knight sitting leisurely, playing with the whip in his hand boredly, and occasionally looking up to glance at the crowd entering the city.

"It's worthy of being the capital city. The configuration here is not comparable to the countryside places like Viscount Blot's territory." Robin sighed in his heart. Everything here shows a style and order that is completely different from the remote viscounty.

"Sorry, this is my first time at Tutankhamun and I don't know the rules." Robin said in a calm tone with a polite smile on his face.

As he spoke, he took out three silver coins from his purse and gently placed them into the wooden box.

The silver coins collided with the bottom of the box, making a crisp sound.

Seeing this, the official knight beside him nodded in satisfaction. He stood up, dusted himself off, and looked at Robin. With a hint of experience, he warned, "Everyone who comes to Tutankhamun for the first time is like this, especially knights like you who come from the countryside. Remember, this is not like your country. You must follow the rules in everything, otherwise, you will be the one who suffers."

Robin nodded slightly in thanks.

In this city, rules are everything. Only by abiding by the rules can you survive better.

Leading his warhorse, he slowly walked into the city gate, and the scene before him instantly became extremely lively.

The streets are bustling with traffic and people coming and going, with all kinds of hawking sounds and laughter intertwined.

There are shops on both sides of the road, selling a wide variety of goods, from exquisite silk clothing to precious magic props.

Robin took a deep breath, the air was filled with the scent of spices, food and wealth.

In the next two days, Robin deeply understood what it meant to be difficult to live in a big situation.

Before the novelty of entering Tutankhamun City had completely faded, life's problems came one after another.

In order to find a place to live, Robin walked through the streets and alleys, looking at the posted rental notices, his brows furrowed more and more.

The ordinary house was small and dim, but the rent was ridiculously high, ten gold coins a month, which was almost equivalent to his income from working hard for half a year in the Viscount's territory.

Those slightly more spacious and comfortable residences were even more daunting for him, as the starting price was fifty gold coins.

He originally thought that more than a thousand gold coins would be enough for him to settle down in Tutankhamun City, but now it seems that it is still just a joke.

He could only be a picture floater.

He finally found a shabby little house that was barely acceptable, but when he was happily preparing to move in, the landlord told him with a smile on his face that in addition to the rent, he had to pay a considerable deposit and various miscellaneous fees, such as cleaning fees and security fees, a total of three hundred gold coins.

Robin gritted his teeth helplessly. Although he felt unwilling, he could only accept this seemingly unreasonable yet commonplace rule.

I didn't expect that after being reborn here, I would still have to endure the exploitation of the landlord.
