"If a lifetime of practice here could extend one's life by ten years, then the life span extended by the first practice must account for at least two to three years."
This is actually a Life Seed...
Colin reached out to take the semi-transparent Life Seed from Wild, and only now, holding it in his hand for a careful look, did he realize—
The Life Seed felt more like a crystal with lower transparency, and its shape was not irregular... The whole was diamond-shaped, and its surface seemed to have countless facets like a diamond from a previous life.
Neither the original owner of the body nor he had much knowledge about knights.
So... he did not know whether it was this Breathing Skill that was special, or if other knights also had such a "stone" formed inside them after breaking through to become a Great Knight.
But at least the Sunlight Breathing Technique he practiced did not have such a tangible "Life Seed."
"Thank you, Your Majesty Wild," Colin said, pausing before asking, "How should I use this Life Seed?"
Although according to the initial effectiveness of about thirty percent, the life span he had extended this time was at most one year... but who would complain about having too much life?
"Just place it in front of your chest and concentrate," Wild answered.
Colin nodded, walked to the middle of the carpet, sat down, and did as Wild had said, placing the semi-transparent Life Seed in front of his chest, then slightly closing his eyes.
Perhaps it was because a wizard's spirit was strong, he felt the Life Seed on his chest warming up instantly.
Immediately afterward, he himself seemed to become a black hole, with an invisible vortex forming around him as the center on the first floor of the tower.
Like this, about half an hour passed.
Colin slowly opened his eyes, feeling refreshed and invigorated.
Looking down, he saw that the semi-transparent Life Seed in his hand had now turned to dust.
Unconsciously, he opened Golden Paper.
"Master Colin, how do you feel?" Wild, who had been waiting for a while, asked with a smile.
"Not bad," Colin replied, but his attention was not on Wild.
Light golden particles gathered, and the semi-transparent Golden Paper appeared in front of him.
He scanned carefully from top to bottom.
In the section of the Breathing Skill, a new line of text slowly emerged—[Nameless Breathing Skill (36/100)]
Colin was not surprised; after all, when using the Life Seed, he was running the Nameless Breathing Skill, which was tantamount to practicing it, so it was normal for it to be recorded on Golden Paper now.
It's just that the progress was a bit more than he had expected.
With a thought, Colin renamed it—[Yili Breathing Method (36/100)] and then put away Golden Paper.
He did not pay much attention to the Breathing Skill, after all, it was just a Breathing Skill dedicated to life extension at the Life Tower.
But out of consideration for collecting knowledge.
He still carefully memorized the Breathing Skill from the parchment scroll, before returning the brown scroll to Wild.
After doing all this, the two walked out side by side.
"Master Colin, do you have any other plans after going to the Holy Flame Kingdom?" Wild asked casually on the way.
"I'll think about the next steps after I reach the Holy Flame Kingdom," Colin said with a smile, revealing no more information.
Wild nodded and then said, "Welcome to come back again... Yili Kingdom will always welcome your arrival."
Then he shifted the conversation:
"This time, using the Life Tower has only about a thirty percent effect. If you have a chance to come to Yili Kingdom again in the future, you are welcome to come to the Life Tower again... If you are willing, you can also consider residing in Yili Kingdom for the long term."
"By that, I mean, perhaps you could consider becoming the new Sacrificial Wizard of Yili Kingdom," Wild cut to the chase.
In fact, aside from feeling grateful, another consideration for bringing Colin to the Life Tower was indeed this reason.
The original Sacrificial Wizard of Yili Kingdom had died, and naturally, they needed to find a new Sacrificial Wizard.
Given the current situation, there was no one more suitable than Colin.
Colin smiled slightly, declining:
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty Wild, I'm used to being free on my own and don't wish to become a Sacrificial Wizard."
He had anticipated Wild's request.
Although the life-extending effects of the Life Tower were good, apart from the first time, subsequent life extension required frequent practice, even better if one could practice every day... the cost was too high.
The maximum life extension was only about two years... the cost-effectiveness was really not high.
Only wizards like Anthony, who no longer had hope for the future, would choose to retire here.
Furthermore, there were probably other limitations of the Life Tower that had not been disclosed to him.
Otherwise, Yili Kingdom would not have been able to possess the Life Tower for so long.
Wild wanted to persuade him further, but looking up at Colin's serious expression, he sighed silently in his heart and chose to give up.
"Master Colin, then I won't disturb you further. When the Flying Airship arrives tomorrow, I will come to inform you."
Upon leaving the palace, Wild and Colin said goodbye.
"Alright," Colin nodded, turned, and boarded another carriage to return to the Guest House.
The next day.
The mansion at the Guest House.
Around ten o'clock in the morning.
Knock knock knock—
A rhythmic knocking sounded.
Renee, who was resting downstairs, got up to open the door.
"Your Majesty the King."
"Hello," Wild said with a smile, "Is Master Colin here?"
"Your Majesty Wild."
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the staircase.
