Constructing-Style Wizard

Kaiden’s expression stiffened, and he took a deep breath, trying to calm the thoughts that Noland interrupted.

He reached into the pocket of his clothes and took out a small scroll of sheepskin parchment, laying it flat on the table:

“My breathing method and the formula for the cultivation elixir are all recorded on this parchment. You wizards have good memories. Just remember the breathing method and elixir formula while you’re here.”

Noland glanced at the tattered parchment on the table and nodded inwardly.

That’s what he wanted.

That scroll had appeared numerous times in Kaiden’s memory fragments.

But every time, Kaiden never unfolded it, hence Noland could not directly get the contents recorded on it from the memory fragments.

Kaiden’s previous emotional outpouring was sincere, and Noland could both understand and empathize. However, knowing that the parchment was the key, listening to Kaiden’s babbling was more uncomfortable than irritating Noland’s heart.

So, Noland had to use urging and coughing to skip the “plot animation” in the process of teaching the technique.

Noland first sent a Deconstruction technique to the parchment, and after confirming there were no issues, he picked it up to examine it.

As a Calm Knight, Kaiden named his body forging method, breathing method, and elixir according to the “Calm XXX” style.

The Calm Breathing Technique requires Noland to maintain a calm mind in a noisy environment and adjust his breathing frequency and method to lower his heartbeat, blood flow speed, and metabolic rate.

In this state, using the breathing method to extract mana from the natural world and guide it into the body would be very gentle, causing almost no damage to the body.

This is the first layer of the Calm Breathing Technique.

Achieving this layer, Noland can already extract mana from the natural world, which is much more convenient than having to advance to Third-Ring Wizards level to extract mana.

Mana extraction methods of knights and wizards each have their advantages and disadvantages.

Knights have a simple, violent, and widely applicable mana extraction method. They can extract any magic power, but the extraction quantity is unstable, and it brings burden to the body.

Wizards extract mana with precision, focusing on a single or a few types of mana. Although they can extract only one or a few types of mana, the extraction process is smooth, painless, non-damaging, and stable.

As a Mary Sue, Noland wouldn’t reject any opportunity, and he wanted to learn both extraction methods.

In the second layer of the Calm Breathing Technique, Noland is required to maintain a calm mind during combat.

When people get excited, they often concentrate too much on specific things.

On the other hand, calm people can often detect more details during a fight.

The third layer of the Calm Breathing Technique is to keep the mana within the five viscera and six bowels calm.

This mana can cause physical burden to its hosts due to its types and attributes.

Maintaining the calmness of the mana is to reduce the erosion on these internal organs, and thereby extend the knight’s combat lifespan.

The fourth layer is to stay calm while mobilizing mana, without wasting even a single point of mana.

The fifth layer, which is the final layer.

When using martial arts, the Calm Breathing Technique infuses the “calm” mind into the external mana waves, which in turn shakes the enemy’s state of mind, making them lose their will to fight, returning them to a calm state, and then taking advantage of the opportunity to subdue the enemy in a single strike.

Achieving this layer is equivalent to learning the Calm Knight’s martial arts technique.

Hey, after saying so much, it’s simply the “Mind Control”… Noland couldn’t help but complain after understanding the details of the breathing method.

Using this calm martial arts technique to make the enemy lose their will to resist, after long-term cultivation, is far more complicated and difficult than the wizard’s method.

No wonder the Way of the Knight declined.

Although Noland didn’t think highly of the newly acquired Calm Knight training manual, he did not feel disappointed or regretful.

On the contrary, he was overjoyed!

That’s because the Deconstruction results brought him an unexpected harvest.

[System Message:]

[You consume 5000 points of energy and cast the Deconstruction technique on “Calm Body Forging Technique,” “Calm Breathing Technique,” and “Calm Knight Cultivation Elixir.”]

[You have obtained the following Deconstruction results:]

[1 “Calm Knight Martial Arts: Calm Swordsmanship and Guarding Quiet Footwork,” completeness 100%.]

[2. “Calm Breathing Technique”, 100% completeness.]

[3. “Calm Knight Cultivation Elixir”, 100% completeness.]

[4. Your Knowledge Skills “Magic Organ School” is connected with the above two deconstruction results.]

[The “Magic Organ School” is a magical discipline that transforms one’s organs into mana sources. Magic organs can automatically produce mana periodically.]

[Now, “Magic Organ School” adds a new sub-entry “Magic Viscera School”.]

[You can follow the guidance in “Magic Viscera School” to transform your organs into “Magic Power Internal Organs” which carry slight side effects.]

[Please note that “Magic Power Internal Organs” can only be used to store mana and cannot produce mana automatically.]

[Your current “Tenacity” is 19 points.]

[Each organ can hold 190 points of mana. Five viscera and six bowels can hold a total of 2090 points of mana.]

[For every “Magic Power Internal Organ” activated, your Energy Points will decrease by 1 point per hour.]

[The actual effects and side effects of “Magic Power Internal Organs” can only be confirmed after you practice it.]

Noland Lee opened the “Magic Viscera School” to take a look and quietly gave the System a thumbs up.

As everyone knew, as the host’s knowledge reserves became more enriched, the deconstructed results would automatically update.

This time was no exception.

The System combined the recently deconstructed Calm Knight training secret book with the existing magical knowledge and created a new Knowledge Skill “Magic Viscera School”.

Following the guidance of this Knowledge Skill, Noland could use the Calm Knight’s elixir to “open the door” of his organs, transforming them into Magic Power Internal Organs for storing mana.

At the same time, he could also follow the Calm Knight’s Breathing Technique to minimize the damage mana caused to his body.

Summary:

The moment the new knowledge appeared in his mind, the System had automatically come up with the best plan for Noland to utilize the new knowledge based on existing knowledge.

With the “Magic Power Internal Organs,” Noland would no longer have to use his Soul Strength to cast spells in the future.

He could use all of his Soul Strength to practice Meditation Methods.

This was an obvious advantage of the “Magic Power Internal Organs”.

After memorizing the content on the sheepskin parchment, Noland began discussing the specifications of the magical items with Kaiden.

The specifications of the magical items were related to the cost of creating them.

The higher the specifications, the more spells the magic ring could store, and the more daily uses it would have. The same was true for the magic wand and magic robes.

Following a brief discussion, Noland and Kaiden agreed to create the magical items according to the Second Ring Wizard’s standards.

The term “Second Ring Wizard standard” referred to an item level of 20.

This was within Noland’s acceptable range, and he readily agreed.

With that, tonight’s matters came to a close.

Although there had been disputes between Noland and Kaiden, overall both parties got what they needed and wanted.

Kaiden’s attitude towards Noland was also undergoing a change.

From initially treating Noland as a tool for completing regular assessments to being astonished and overreacting when Noland saw through his true condition, and finally to feeling pleased and sentimental when he discovered Noland could perfectly inherit his Way of the Knight…

Unconsciously, Kaiden had lifted the heavy burden hidden in his heart.

His knight legacy had found its successor, and even though the other party was a wizard, and the inheritance was achieved through a transaction, it was better than being lost.

Noland and Kaiden chatted about the matters of the four major family managers and inquired about each other’s intelligence.

Approaching late night, Noland got up to leave.

Watching Noland fly towards the Inner Circle, Kaiden stood on the beach at the edge of the island for a long time.

“What a mysterious man. As a male wizard, he not only has an interest in the Way of the Knight, but also joined the Silent Girl.”

Kaiden suddenly widened his eyes, a flash of lightning crossing his mind:

“Hiss, Silent Girl… Erica… Claudia Erika. It’s said that she’s the Princess Royal of the Kingdom of White Spirit, and the Kingdom of White Spirit is a kingdom that upholds the Way of the Knight…”

It seemed as if Kaiden had figured something out; he stared at the retreating figure of Noland with a stunned expression.
