Chapter 260: Energy Neutralization Therapy
Kant was stunned.
He was truly stunned. He had never thought that special effect 2 would be so powerful!
It was able to raise the level up of the currently level 5 cavalry troop cla.s.s, which could be considered top-tier troop cla.s.s and could not be upgraded any longer, to a stronger and higher-level royal knight.
It came from the light and darkness, the Kingdom of Swadia’s top troop cla.s.s.
The Swadian royal knight!
A level 6 cavalry, equipped with a full set of plate armor, a powerful troop cla.s.s that wielded a knight sword and a conical lance. They could be said to be the pinnacle of the age of cold weapons. Even among the magical fantasy MOD, they could be considered to be the backbone of the combat sequence.
It broken Kant’s embarra.s.sing situation which the current level 5 troop cla.s.s was already the highest level troop cla.s.s.
And according to the system’s introduction.
This royal knight conferred by the Sword of the King would have the power of the king.
Although Kant did not understand, based on the system’s introduction, he definitely believed that this so-called power of the king was extraordinary power. Otherwise, the system would not have highlighted it in the introduction.
As for the cost of 100 reputation points, it was extremely simple for Kant.
He currently had 32,000 + reputation points.
This meant that if Kant wanted to, he could easily upgrade 320 maxed out level Swadian knights to the Swadian royal knights who possessed extraordinary power and was known as the king’s power.
They would be equipped with full plate armors, including horses and men.
They would be able to truly be the strongest trump card army that Kant currently possessed!
Even the Dukedom of Leo, which was founded on martial arts and had the G.o.d of War, Edmund, attached great importance to martial arts. However, in Kant’s impression, they did not have the strength to form a cavalry force consisting of grand knights who possessed extraordinary power.
They didn’t have a proper troop with dozens of grand knights.
It was estimated that there would not be more than 50 grand knights in the entire Dukedom of Leo.
As for Kant…
He was able to control 320 Swadian royal knight who possessed extraordinary power, countless exquisite killing techniques, and had fought on the battlefield for more than ten years!
This was simply a miracle, the shock from the system’s strength!
Thinking of this, Kant slowly let out a breath, and the shadow of Bunduk’s casualty slowly dissipated.
The lottery this time made up for the loss of a general.
“Knock, knock, knock.”
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
At the same time, someone outside said, “My lord, are you inside?”
“I am.”
Kant frowned slightly, and judging from the voice, it should be the mages of the Enfath Empire, so he said, “Come in and talk.”
The door was gently pushed open.
As expected, it was the mages wearing dark mage robes and dark mage hats.
The seven of them bowed respectfully. “My lord.”
“Yes.”, Kant nodded.
However, he still frowned slightly and asked them, “I remember that you should have come back with the footmen. Why did you leave the army and act on your own? I don’t like this kind of behavior.”
Marching in the army required rules.
It was the same even for the troops that were recruited from the system.
Kant’s voice was not a question, but more like a rebuke. After all, these seven mages had left the army and returned on their own. It was equivalent to an unorganized and undisciplined behavior. If they were placed in a strict troop, they might even be punished!
The mages obviously also realized that their actions were inappropriate.
“No, we didn’t encounter any trouble.”, the leading mage quickly replied, “My lord, I’m very sorry to have troubled you, but we rushed back for a reason.”
Kant frowned and said, “Give me a reason not to punish you.”
Military discipline was serious.
Even if they rushed back, if there was no convincing reason, Kant would still punish them.
Otherwise, the next time other soldiers left the troops with similar excuses, if there was a follow-up reaction, or even a decline in military discipline, who would be responsible?
Kant would not give such an excuse to allow the discipline of the troops to decline!
“I’m sorry.”
The mage lowered his head and said, “We have thought of a way to treat Lord Bunduk.”
“What way?”, Kant was slightly stunned, and then he said in a deep voice, “If this is the reason, then I will think that you did not make a mistake. Now tell me, what kind of treatment method have you thought of?”
“It’s the energy neutralization method.”, the mage quickly answered.
“Tell me more details.”, Kant said with a frown.
The mage immediately said seriously, “It means that Lord Bunduk’s injury was caused by the corrosive effect of the negative energy contained in the demon’s blood. We discussed this kind of external injury on the way and thought that it could be treated as the magic damage caused by the negative energy corrosion. The treatment method is to neutralize the negative energy through some kind of gentle positive energy, reducing the corrosive effect of the negative energy, and then use the traditional surgery and first aid, as well as the follow-up recuperation, to allow Lord Bunduk recover from it.”
Kant lowered his head and muttered, “This is the energy neutralization method.”
“That’s right.”, the mages nodded. At the same time, they said solemnly, “As long as the negative energy loses its corrosiveness, there won’t be too much of a threat. After all, the positive energy is very gentle. If we control the strength of both sides well, the possibility of healing is extremely high!”
“If we’re talking about the positive energy.”
Kant thought for a moment, then raised his head and said to the mages, “I remember that you said that the energy contained in the sun disk is the positive energy. Can it be used to treat Bunduk?”
“This…”, the mages were a little embarra.s.sed.
“What’s wrong? Can’t it be done?”, seeing their embarra.s.sed looks, Kant frowned and asked.
“Not yet…”, the mages nodded awkwardly. “We weren’t mage apprentices anymore. Now that I think about it, we weren’t afraid of the experiment back then, which was why the experiment failed.”. After a pause, they looked at Kant, the tone of their voice was slightly lower. “However, we have also come to a conclusion. Although the positive energy in the sun disk is sufficient, it is too violent. It is similar to the scorching positive energy that the priests in the Inquisition possess. It can perfectly attack evil creatures. However, with our methods, we are still unable to compare with the priests who have painstakingly researched this kind of power.”
“d.a.m.n it.”, Kant slammed the table heavily, and his eagerness instantly turned cold. He was still a little frustrated about Bunduk’s injury. This was a general who could lead the troops in the future!
“My lord, please don’t be agitated.”
The mages whispered, “The sun disk cannot be used to neutralize the energy, but when we just entered the council hall, we felt another, brand new, gentler, and controllable source of positive energy.”
Kant raised his eyebrows, and his quiet mood suddenly rose again. “What is it?”
However, before he could finish his words, he reacted. He saw the mages looking at the Sword of the King that he had placed beside the table. He directly picked it up and placed it on the table, looking at the gilded hilt and scabbard, he asked in a deep voice, “The source of positive energy that you mentioned, could it be this, the Sword of the King?”
“Yes, that’s right.”, the mages immediately nodded.
Kant smiled. “I didn’t expect this sword to have such an effect!”
“This is called the Sword of the King.”
The mages said in a relief tone, “No wonder. In our perception, although this longsword contains positive energy, it’s actually not gentle. Instead, it has a bit of sharpness, but it can’t reach the level of the sun disk that can burn people and raise fire elements out of thin air. It’s like an emperor that rule over positive energy.”
Kant chuckled, his expression relaxed. “As long as we can save Bunduk’s life, that’s fine. After all, I was the one who sent him to the city walls to deal with that abyssal demon. I have a responsibility to take care of his injuries.”
“My Lord, you are the most benevolent.”, the mages saluted respectfully.
“Let’s begin the treatment.”
Kant stood up. “Is there anything I can help you with?”
The mages said, “Yes, my lord. This Sword of the King has acknowledged you as its master. I reckon that we don’t even have the right to touch it. When we neutralize the energy, you must be present personally.”
“Acknowledge me as its master?”, Kant was curious.
“That’s right. In our perception, this sword can only be used by a true king.”
The mages saluted Kant respectfully. “And the facts have already proven, my lord, that you are the true king, a born n.o.ble emperor. Even if the emperor of the Enfath Empire sees you, he still has to give his respect.”
“Is that so.”, Kant nodded, thinking of the introduction of this longsword.
But Kant did not care about this problem.
He quickly led the mages out of the room, and James was waiting outside.
Seeing Kant come out with a faint smile on his face, his originally nervous heart also relaxed. He smiled at Kant and said, “Lord Kant, looking at your smile, have you found a way to cure Mr. Bunduk?”
“Yes, thanks to these mages.”, Kant smiled and nodded.
“Thank you all so much!”, James nodded in grat.i.tude. “I really don’t want to lose my old friend, and I don’t want to see my old friend live like a cripple with his lower body. I really have to thank you all!”
Bunduk was an NPC from the good camp, so his relations.h.i.+p with James was very good.
Most of them were friends.
“You flatter us.”, the mages said humbly, “This is what we should do.”
“Alright, let’s begin.”
Kant urged.
“Understood.”, James nodded.
They entered the room where Bunduk was.
Amid the thick smell of blood, Bunduk’s chest and abdomen were wrapped with clean linen, he was still unconscious on the bed. Beside him, there was an attentive Rhodok woman waiting on him. When she saw Kant and the others enter, she quickly bowed respectfully.
“There’s no need to be so polite. You can leave first.”
Kant waved at her.
“Yes.”, the Rhodok woman nodded and left silently.
The mages came to Bunduk’s side and raised the magic staffs in their hands, they said respectfully to Kant, “My lord, please stand beside us and raise your sword. Next, we will draw the power from the sword. We hope that you will allow us to borrow your authority. This is not an offense.”
