Full-Time Wizard: Starting with Harvesting Wheat
Chapter 4 Holy Knight Roland
What... what's going on?!
Roy was struck dumb, as if he had stepped in dog poop on a sunny day when he was happily going out.
In fact, in daily life, apart from being slightly weaker than the other children, he was perfectly fine.
Even the original owner didn't notice any changes in her body after the black wizard drew her blood.
As a result, the evil data suddenly told him that he didn't have many months left to live.
After calming down and accepting the truth, Roy somewhat regretted looking at his stats. But as long as he had the ability, he would eventually discover this painful reality.
"It's fair to say that I knew about this from the very first day I arrived here, which is actually an advantage for me."
"If we find out ten months later, it's no different from waiting to die."
"But there's still a long way to go before the deadline. There are extraordinary beings in this world who will surely find a solution."
"Extraordinary...yes! Extraordinary!" Roy's eyes lit up.
How could he forget so quickly? Olga just said that by condensing the seed of life and becoming a formal knight, one's lifespan would increase significantly!
"I never imagined that lifespan, which I didn't care much about before, would become something I need in the short term."
He gave a bitter laugh, cursing the black wizard who conducted human experiments in his heart.
In his memory, if another wizard hadn't entered the room and driven the dark wizard away, he probably would have followed in his parents' footsteps.
"I remember that wizard, he was called the Demon Hunter Wizard, right? He specialized in killing wizards who caused trouble outside."
"However, wizards are rare. The original owner only encountered one in the past 13 years, and others never see one in their entire lives. It is still too unrealistic to want to walk the path of a wizard and embark on the path of transcendence."
"Wait, Olga wants to become a knight, perhaps he has a way to walk the path of a knight."
Roy took one last look at his attributes. Apart from surpassing Olga in spirit and magic, he was inferior in all other aspects, including height and weight.
"However, I can see special effects of things, and I will soon surpass Olga."
He scooped up a spoonful of water, pretended to wash his hands, flicked the water onto the floor, and then walked out of the kitchen.
"You took a really long time to wash your hands," Olga muttered.
Roy replied calmly, "I'm usually quite clean."
The two found a sturdy tree in the yard and sat down to rest under its shade.
A cool autumn breeze gently brushed against the hair of the two boys, bringing a chill.
It was September, and the autumn wind was neither bleak nor as cold as the winter wind.
"We have an hour's rest, and we'll continue harvesting wheat this afternoon." Olga said, resting her hands behind her head, leaning against the tree trunk, and whistling softly.
Looking around to make sure no one was around, Roy gritted his teeth and whispered:
"Olga, I suddenly feel... I want to be a knight too..."
"Really!?" Olga jumped up excitedly. "Roy, I knew it! You and I share the same ambition! Finally! Finally! Why didn't I meet you before?"
"Luckily, it's not too late. We're both only 13 years old, so we can definitely go on together!"
The knight in this boy's imagination is a powerful being who grows up with his companions, advances and retreats together, and protects the weak.
Advance together, retreat together?
Roy was definitely not what he needed.
If disaster strikes, he will only protect others to his side.
However, at this moment, one must pretend to agree with his views.
"Yes, Olga, you are so powerful, and I look forward to traveling with you!"
"Oh no, Roy, you also have a powerful side, one that I can't even begin to match." He displayed the virtue of humility to the fullest.
The two complimented each other—no, Roy was complimenting Roy, while Olga seemed to be genuinely looking for Roy's good points. After finding a few, she looked troubled.
"Olga, let's take advantage of this break and talk about the Knights," Roy interrupted, seizing the opportunity.
"Look at my forgetful mind! I've completely forgotten the important matter!" Olga tapped her head. "Knight, I know knights best. What do you want to hear?"
"Let's start by talking about the person who became a knight the fastest."
Roy decided to start by understanding the time it takes for an ordinary person to advance to the level of a knight.
"Oh, I know that." Olga's eyes lit up, as if a light bulb had been inserted. "It must be my idol, Roland. He's everyone's idol."
"It was because of Roland that I wanted to become a knight, to defeat those bandits, protect the country, and then..." He licked his lips.
"Then?"
"Then, marry the beautiful princess!" Olga picked up a branch from the ground and waved it in the air.
"Possessing all eight virtues of a knight, handsome appearance, and unparalleled strength, this is the Holy Knight Roland!"
"Why does this sound so much like a protagonist in a novel?" Roy muttered to himself.
"Good heavens, you haven't read 'The Holy Knight Roland'?" Olga exclaimed in surprise.
"So this really is a novel?"
"This is a novel based on Roland's life. Although there are artistic embellishments, it is clear that most of it is true."
"for example?"
"For example, Roland started out just like you... um... like us, a poor country boy, but with his talent and hard work, he went to the capital, thwarted the conspiracy of the rebels, and successfully protected the royal family."
"I have no doubt that Romain Rolland came from the countryside, because only we country folk possess such simple and honest qualities as depicted in the book!"
Finally, the emperor bestowed his most beautiful daughter upon Roland and granted him a duchy—the greatest reward imaginable!
Hearing Roland's opening and ending, Roy was fairly certain that this was a novel heavily embellished with artistic license. However, while adults could easily discern the truth from fiction, a fool like Olga couldn't.
Since it's an artistic adaptation, Roland will definitely be crafted into a perfect character to cater to readers' needs, and some real events might even be altered as a result.
"How long did it take Roland to become a full-fledged knight?"
Roy was hoping for an answer of less than six months.
Only in that way will the actual time not exceed one year, proving that he still has a chance.
"The Knight Commander praised Roland, saying he was the most talented person he had ever seen," Olga said confidently. "He truly is a genius; he became a squire after only one month of training, and then..."
"then……"
"It took him three years to condense the Seed of Life and become a full-fledged knight!"
Judging from Olga's expression of utter admiration, three years is already considered a very short time.
It seems that the path from ordinary to extraordinary is not easy.
Roy felt a moment of despair.
