Wizard, I Have Another World – Chapter 58

Chapter 58: Giant Spirit Breathing Technique

Pit Number Two.

A group of people rushed in, shouting.

Unlike the uniformed and serious City Guard soldiers, this group looked more like scattered and undisciplined troops.

Their clothing was diverse, their weapons bizarre, their heights and skin colors varied, and their formation was chaotic.

But the aura they emanated was extremely powerful.

Among them, several people had concentrated Life Force, clearly Formal Knights, which was why the City Guard didn’t act rashly.

“Hal!”

A short man in the crowd shouted loudly:

“No wonder you wouldn’t let us in. It turns out there’s a Forgotten City here. You want to hide it from City Lord Soden?”

“I only obey Her Highness Mevia’s orders.” Captain Hal said in a muffled voice:

“Stanford, you’re just mercenaries hired by the City Lord. The underground is not a place for you.”

“Haha…” Stanford stepped forward, his face full of ridicule:

“The task City Lord Soden gave us is not just to eliminate Strange Creatures, but also to investigate the changes that have occurred in Black City recently.”

“Hal, what do you think would happen if I told everyone that you discovered the Forgotten City but didn’t report it…”

“What would be the consequences?”

“Clang…” The City Guard suddenly raised their swords and spears, and the mercenaries also gripped their weapons.

The atmosphere in the field suddenly became tense.

“Stanford, you filthy, lowly halfling.” Hal’s mouth twitched, glaring at the other party:

“Are you threatening me?”

“Hal!”

Stanford pushed through the crowd, his short body emitting a terrifying aura that expanded like a tangible force.

“Do you want to die?”

The two stared at each other, the situation on the verge of exploding.

Stanford, born a serf with halfling blood, couldn’t stand being insulted.

“Forget it.”

After a moment of confrontation, Hal’s eyes flickered, and he took the initiative to back down amidst the stalemate. He softened his voice and said:

“I didn’t mean to withhold information. I just planned to report it after I understood the situation clearly.”

“Hmph!”

Stanford snorted coldly:

“Understand the situation?”

“Understand what situation? See how many valuable things are in the Forgotten City so you can pocket them yourself?”

“Money?” Hal looked disdainful:

“You’re still the same, only caring about money. This city ahead may hold the secrets of the gods.”

“That’s not something money can measure!”

“Heh…” Stanford shrugged:

“Then how about this, after we enter the Forgotten City, the money inside belongs to me, and everything else belongs to you.”

“But first, introduce the situation, will you?”

“What’s the deal with the Giant Spirits that escaped? Many of our brothers died at their hands.”

“Giant Spirits?” Hal’s face showed contemplation, and after a pause, he said:

“Like Holy Knights, they are also guardians of the Moon Goddess, guarding the Forgotten City.”

“Every Forgotten City has a group of corrupted Giant Spirits. Some were spearmen in life, some were swordsmen, and there are also extremely rare instructors.”

“It is said that during the era of the Moon Goddess, only those with exceptional talent were qualified to become guardians and learn the inheritances bestowed by the Goddess. Although time has passed and the things on them have decayed, there may still be good things left behind.”

“Hmm…” Stanford stroked his chin:

“Even the armor has turned to ash, what else could be left? I wonder if gold can withstand the corrosion of time?”

“Perhaps.” Hal turned around:

“Since you’re interested in this place, why don’t you guard it for me for a few days.”

“Captain?”

Squad Leader Barnard’s forehead was sweating:

“What do we do now?”

The Yin Energy enveloping the Forgotten City was about to dissipate, and someone suddenly intervened in the benefits they were about to obtain.

How could they not be anxious?

“What to do?” After moving away from the crowd, Hal asked in a low voice:

“Have they discovered those secret passages in Pit Number Three?”

“No!” Barnard hurriedly said:

“The secret passages are well hidden, and we didn’t make a fuss about it. They don’t know yet.”

“That’s good.” Hal breathed a sigh of relief:

“Continue as usual here, and speed up over there. We must enter the Forgotten City before Stanford.”

“Yes.”

Barnard nodded heavily.

On the other side.

“Leader.”

A mercenary said in a low voice:

“After we go in, we really only take the gold?”

“What else?” Stanford sneered:

“The secrets of the gods are not something people like us can touch. Hal can go to his death himself, I won’t accompany him.”

“Yes!”

His subordinates agreed.

Divine Domain Fragment.

Karl held a black ‘iron plate’ and examined it carefully.

This was a ‘relic’ left by the Giant Spirit.

The armor on the Giant Spirit had decayed into ash, but this thing was perfectly preserved, it was definitely not ordinary.

It was strange to say.

Giant Spirits had also appeared in Black City before, but they only knew how to kill and couldn’t speak. It was also unheard of for them to leave anything behind after death.

The one Karl encountered was an anomaly.

It kept shouting: impart, cultivate, guard, responsibility…

Could it be a leader?

The ‘iron plate’ in his hand was seven inches long, three inches wide, and about half a finger thick. The material should not be iron. It felt cold to the touch and had a woody texture.

Both sides had patterns.

On one side, a human figure sitting cross-legged was carved in the center, with many complex textures on it, and surrounded by densely packed text.

On the other side, the sun, moon, stars, mountains, and rivers were carved, quite similar to the style of Chinese ink paintings in his memory.

Similarly.

The surroundings of the image were also text.

The text was the size of rice grains, densely packed. Even if it was held in front of his eyes, he had to carefully distinguish it when looking at it closely. The results after careful identification made Karl overjoyed.

“Breathing Technique!”

“And it’s a high-quality Breathing Technique!”

How high?

Karl didn’t know.

But it was definitely higher than the Venomous Wolf Breathing Technique he was currently practicing, and much higher.

The Venomous Wolf Breathing Technique was a relatively common Breathing Technique that could allow people to become Knights, but it was difficult to progress further. Its only advantage was that it enhanced the practitioner’s perception of danger.

This Breathing Technique, not to mention becoming a Knight, even had the method for a Knight to become a Grand Knight, and even how to become a Legendary Knight.

“Legendary Knight!”

Karl murmured:

“Such strong individuals are only born in the royal family, the major dukes, and within the Church in the Gando Kingdom.”

“Giant Spirit Breathing Technique!”

This was the name of the Breathing Technique recorded on the iron plate.

According to the text on the iron plate, practicing the ‘Giant Spirit Breathing Technique’ could give one the strength of ancient giants. Of course, this was probably an exaggeration.

“I wonder if it can still be cultivated?”

After all,

It was written that practicing this technique not only required sufficient talent but also the blessing of the Moon Goddess.

Hmm…

The Moon Goddess had long since fallen, where would the blessing come from?

“Let’s try it and see!”

There was no harm in trying, and this Breathing Technique didn’t require any special secret medicine to aid in cultivation. Even non-humans could practice it.

It emphasized teaching without discrimination!

Imitating the image on the ‘iron plate,’ Karl sat cross-legged on the ground, controlling the flow of Qi within his body as he inhaled and exhaled.

With the Venomous Wolf Breathing Technique as a foundation and the Divine Domain Fragment’s enhancement allowing him to perfectly control every part of his body, it wasn’t difficult for him to switch to another Breathing Technique.

Even if the Breathing Technique was extremely complex, it was only a matter of time.

Time passed slowly.

At a certain moment.

“Whoosh!”

The ‘iron plate’ on the ground seemed to sense something and suddenly stood upright, flying up and slowly floating towards Karl’s forehead.

The moment it touched his skin.

“Buzz…”

Karl’s body trembled, and a faint voice sounded in his Sea of Consciousness.

It was like a whisper beside his ear.

Like an echo carried by the breeze.

Faint,

Yet clear.

“I bless you, my believer.”

The voice was ethereal and hollow, like a dying wish, carrying a deep expectation. As the voice sounded, a warm current surged from the iron plate.
