After Trist left, Isabella, having recovered from her shock, had already returned to her usual aloof demeanor.
She lowered her head slightly and apologized to Levi:
“Apologies, it was this subordinate who lost her composure.”
Levi waved his hand: “I don’t blame you.”
Isabella looked at the Cobblestone placed out by him and asked:
“What should we do with this stone?”
To be honest, the sudden appearance of an unpolished cubic Cobblestone in the lavishly decorated Lord’s office was really too bizarre.
“Come to think of it, didn’t you think it was a bit too radical for me to spar with you, a Second-Order Knight?”
“To dispel your concerns, I’ll let you witness my strength.”
After saying this, Levi threw a punch right in front of her at the Cobblestone.
!?
This move made Isabella shudder all over.
What was he doing?
“Your Highness! Be careful not to get hurt.”
Levi didn’t stop his movements; the second punch, the third punch…
He threw punches rapidly, but there was not the slightest change of expression on his face.
Because it really didn’t hurt.
The Minecraft System endowed him with the constitution of a Minecraft Man.
Mining stone with bare hands was just a piece of cake for him.
In less than ten seconds, that full cubic meter of Cobblestone, which reached up to Isabella’s waist, suddenly shattered.
Unlike in the game Minecraft, the Cobblestone did not disappear into thin air, but instead turned into a pile of gravel.
Then Levi waved his hand, and these gravels were retrieved into his inventory.
The moment the gravel returned to the inventory, it disappeared.
Just like in Minecraft, where bare hands would directly mine stone blocks.
Levi showed a satisfied smile and turned back to look at Isabella:
“How is that?”
Isabella simply couldn’t believe her eyes.
“You are actually able to punch through solid stone with your bare hands?!”
Although Isabella could also accomplish this feat, this was because she was a Second-Order Knight, whose physical body was reinforced by the Douqi generated from cultivating breathing techniques!
Yet on Levi’s body, there was no blessing of Douqi generated by breathing techniques at all!
Isabella took a heavy breath to alleviate the shock in her heart:
“I need to confirm with you, are you certain you are a mage, not a warrior or a fighter?”
“Of course, have you ever seen any warrior or fighter who can cast ‘magic’ like me?”
After saying this, Levi added internally.
Apologies, actually neither.
Neither a mage, nor a knight, let alone any other profession.
I am a “Minecraft Man”.
Levi’s words made Isabella nod thoughtfully.
That’s indeed true.
Where would warriors and fighters have so many bizarre spells to use?
They usually just activate a “Battle Cry” or “Strength Enhancement” and rush forward to hack fiercely at people.
Isabella executed a knight salute to Levi and requested:
“Pardon my offense, but may this subordinate use Douqi to determine your physical strength?”
“Of course.”
Levi nodded; he also very much wanted to know roughly what level his strength was at.
And he wasn’t worried that Isabella would be an assassin.
Because if she really were an assassin…
Levi would have died tens of thousands of times already.
Could he have survived until now?
“Pardon the rudeness.”
Isabella was not wearing full Heavy Armor at the moment, but rather relatively casual training clothes.
Even though it was quite plain, worn on this red-haired maiden, it looked unexpectedly good.
Aristocratic etiquette truly takes some getting used to.
Isabella, born from a branch of the Windsor Family, secretly complained in her heart.
Feeling the tactile sensation transmitted from the maiden’s palm, Levi couldn’t help feeling a bit strange.
The maiden’s hand was exceptionally soft, so soft that it was as if she had never done a day of manual labor in her life.
Yet Levi was clear that the other party had been practicing swordsmanship since childhood, and logically speaking, she should have quite a few calluses on her hands.
He asked:
“You’ve been holding a sword for years, yet you actually don’t have any calluses on your hands?”
Isabella replied:
“Originally there were, but after a knight breaks through to the Second-Order by cultivating breathing techniques,”
“the body’s functions and wound recovery speed will surpass ordinary people.”
“Not to mention calluses, even the scars left in the past will disappear without a trace.”
Levi nodded in sudden realization.
“I see.”
In the original body’s memories, he really couldn’t find a corresponding explanation.
Damn it, the previous “Levi” really was a good-for-nothing, besides eating and playing, he didn’t even fucking know about such things.
Isabella instructed:
“It might hurt a little next, but please rest assured, I will try my best to control my strength.”
Levi nodded, indicating that he understood.
Isabella urged the breathing technique, and red Douqi faintly emerged from her body.
This Douqi was the culprit behind Isabella previously cutting off the traitor’s hand along with the iron armor.
Of course, Isabella controlled the release amount of Douqi to avoid any accidents.
The Douqi followed her hand and coiled toward Levi.
Warm.
Itchy.
It was as if the maiden before him was gently stroking his skin with her fingers.
Levi showed a somewhat enjoying smile.
Seeing the other party’s smile, Isabella instead showed a bizarre expression:
“Doesn’t it hurt?”
“Doesn’t hurt?” Levi gave Isabella a strange look.
Not only does it not hurt, it’s actually a bit comfortable.
??
That shouldn’t be right?
Isabella was startled.
No, why would it feel itchy?
Even a First-Order Knight entangled by my Douqi would feel as if carrying a weight of several hundred catties.
Not a single First-Order Knight of the Wintertown Knights Order could withstand the devastation of Isabella’s Douqi.
Let alone that if this Douqi were turned into a sword, it could even cut through steel.
And yet you tell me your feeling is just a bit itchy?!
Isabella gradually increased the amount of Douqi, and Levi only then felt a slight difference.
But it only changed from the maiden’s gentle stroke to the strength of a massage SPA.
That felt even more comfortable.
At this moment, the external release of Douqi had reached Isabella’s controllable limit.
If this continued, it wouldn’t be a level she could freely retract and release at will.
To avoid the Douqi harming Levi, she had no choice but to withdraw the Douqi.
Upon feeling the other party’s Douqi completely withdrawn, Levi’s face actually showed a somewhat regretful expression.
Such a comfortable otherworld massage SPA, why did it end so quickly.
Not satisfying enough.
Isabella sorted out her thoughts and stated her conclusion:
“Your current physical strength is likely to have reached the level of a Second-Order Knight.”
“It’s truly bizarre, how on earth did you do it?”
“Perhaps I was born different from ordinary people?”
He couldn’t possibly say he had a cheat.
Facing Levi’s perfunctory reply, Isabella did not press further.
After all, pressing further would be showing disrespect to superiors.
There was no need to tell subordinates the Lord’s secrets.
After receiving Isabella’s evaluation that his “physical strength surpasses ordinary Second-Order Knights”.
Levi already understood that the Minecraft Man Constitution didn’t just elevate his physical fitness to a terrifying level.
and there might also be an even more terrifying fact.
Levi’s body perhaps cannot be severed by any weapon.
After all, in the game, Minecraft Man only dies because their health points drop to zero.
Thinking of this, Levi narrowed his eyes and waved his hand, letting Isabella temporarily leave the room.
Although Isabella found it a bit strange, she still obeyed the order and gently let go of Levi’s hand.
Executed a salute and retired.
“This subordinate takes her leave.”
As the room door was closed.
She didn’t leave too far either, standing right at the door, remaining vigilant of the surrounding environment at all times.
…
Inside the room.
Levi wore a thoughtful look, walked over to the desk, and pulled the letter opener used for opening letters out of its scabbard.
He had to confirm whether his guess was correct.
Did the Minecraft Man Constitution truly endow him with the ability to have limbs that cannot be severed?
Holding the letter opener, Levi gently made a cut on his left index finger.
A trace of pain was transmitted into Levi’s mind.
The ten hearts representing health points in the lower-left corner turned into nine and a half.
Two lines of prompts popped up in the system prompt.
[ Health Points – 1 ]
[ Health Points: 19 / 20 ]
“As expected, it really doesn’t bleed.”
Levi looked at his unscathed left index finger, his eyes filled with astonishment.
And after Levi breathed for a few seconds, his health points recovered.
The hunger bar in the lower-right corner flickered.
[ Health Points + 1 ]
[ Health Points: 20 / 20 ]
It was another MC Features, Breathing Health Regeneration!
Just like in Minecraft, Levi could likewise restore health by consuming hunger points.
The price was that Levi felt a tiny bit hungry.
[ Saturation – 0.5 ]
[ Current Saturation: 19.5 / 20 ]
He casually picked up a pastry placed on the table and ate it down.
[ Saturation + 0.5 ]
[ Current Saturation: 20 / 20 ]
“Isn’t this invincible?”
A smile that simply couldn’t be hidden appeared on Levi’s face.
A heaven-sent surprise.
Limbs not being damaged coupled with consuming hunger points to regenerate health, Levi didn’t even need to worry about being maimed or disabled.
Even with low health, it only took a few breaths to recover to full health.
As long as it wasn’t a single strike that emptied Levi’s health pool, Levi still had room for operation.
Putting the letter opener away and back in its original place, Levi called Isabella back to his side.
Business is business; although he could take a lot of damage now, he was still a total rookie in terms of combat skills.
In case an assassin in the dark really rushed up to mess with him, a stab each might actually pierce him to death.
Hugging the snowy-white thighs of Isabella, this Second-Order Knight, was the ultimate truth.
Next was waiting for Trist to bring the territory’s construction artisans to discuss the construction plan for the refugee base.
Doing infrastructure development was the most important thing for being a Lord!
