Chapter 262 Physical sublimation
After failing today's trial, members from each border faction left the stone pillar with their own men and returned to their own camps.

Roland is no exception.

After returning to the camp, Roland first communicated with the soldiers who had failed the trial and fell unconscious, and calmed their emotions to prevent them from getting upset and affecting their mentality.

Afterwards, Roland communicated with the remaining three people. The two centurions knew when to quit. After passing several trials, they realized that they were unable to continue and chose to give up.

However, the two centurions did not see the residual sound in the inheritance. They just waited there for a while and then were pulled back.

As for Tula.

"I have seen."

Tula nodded and continued.

"I was in a white space and met a blurry figure."

"Oh? What did he tell you?"

Roland looked at Tula in front of him and asked.

"He said I wasn't very suitable for his inheritance, but if I wanted to inherit it, he could give it to me."

Hearing Tula's words, Roland was a little surprised. He looked her up and down and said.

“You refused?”

Although it was a question, Roland used an affirmative tone.

Tula nodded and said.

"If there's only light elements and positive energy, it's not suitable for me."

Hearing her answer, Roland nodded slightly.

Tula continued as he stretched out his right hand.

"But even though I rejected the inheritance, he gave me this."

As soon as she finished speaking, some golden liquid flew out from her palm and gathered into a spherical object made of golden liquid in his hand.

Extraordinary origin.

This is the source of power that only high-level transcendents possess.

Since only high-level extraordinary people can produce it, it is a very rare and expensive high-level extraordinary resource.

Although Tula does not have much origin in his hands, it is enough to support him until he is promoted to the fourth ring.

Roland extended his senses and checked the extraordinary origin in Tula's hand several times. After confirming that there was no backup or danger, and it was just pure extraordinary origin, he spoke.

"Put it away first, don't expose it. This is the origin of the supernatural. Just keep it in your body and absorb it slowly. However, if you want to maintain balance, you have to pay attention to the frequency and speed of absorption."

Hearing Roland's words, Tula blinked and silently absorbed the extraordinary origin back into his body.

"Well, it's getting late, go back and have a good rest."

Roland glanced at the sky outside. It was gradually getting dark and torches could be heard around the camp.

"Yes."

Tula responded, then bowed and left. In the following days, low-level knights brought by members of other border regions also accepted the trial of knight inheritance in batches.

Without exception, all failed.

However, although most people failed, some people passed some of the trials and got the benefits.

Therefore, after discussion, the Border Area Faction decided to expand the scope of acceptance of the trial. Within the Border Area Faction, anyone with suitable talent and age could come and try.

Even if no one succeeds, it would be good if more people come and get more benefits.

Although it is open, it is not fully open, and the security guarding the knight heritage is still very strict.

This knight heritage is still firmly controlled by the Border Faction, and the border of the Border Faction territory where it is located has also been blocked, prohibiting any members of any faction from approaching.

If they are caught outside the camp, they will be locked up or expelled directly. But if they are found near the camp, they will be killed on the spot.

Even if no one can accept the knight's inheritance, this knight's inheritance can only belong to the Border Area Faction. This is the common will of all the people in the Border Area Faction.

While the local and border factions were attracted by this knight's inheritance, Roland quietly left the camp and returned to Jiuqi after completing the discussion.

After returning to Jiuqi, Roland immediately took over the administrative affairs. After patrolling and checking, he confirmed that everything in Jiuqi was operating normally.

After dealing with some matters that required Roland's personal decision, Roland returned to the military camp next to Jiuqi and began to prepare for his promotion to the Knight of the Four Rings.

Although Jiuqi is the capital of the territory, its defense and security are still not as good as those of the military camp.

After all, as a city that is still expanding and developing, Jiuqi has a huge number of people flowing into it every day.

Even though the entry control into the city of Jiuqi is very strict, who knows if any bad guys will sneak in.

But it was different in the military camp. Only military members and soldiers were active in the camp. Most of them were soldiers who had witnessed the Fountain of Life and had followed Roland to fight against the green-skinned orcs. They were extremely loyal to Roland. Even the new recruits who didn't know all this were very loyal to Roland.

Moreover, their soul imprints are still in Roland's hands, so even if they are unfaithful, they will be controlled by Roland.

The military camp also has a life array, which is used to control the flow of vitality and maintain the training of soldiers. However, as long as Roland is willing, he can transform this large array into a killing array at any time to give outsiders a big surprise.

In addition, these vitality can also be used to support Roland's promotion. Therefore, considering various factors, the military camp is undoubtedly the best place for Roland to make a breakthrough.

In the military camp, in a secret room that could not be detected by any spells or props, Roland sat naked on a blanket, calmly adjusting his condition with breathing techniques.

With the rhythmic breathing frequency, heat began to radiate slowly from Roland's body.

After an unknown amount of time, Roland opened his eyes, his red eyes filled with calmness.

As Roland's eyes opened, the magic circle he had set up beside him also responded. Countless strong life forces began to surge in from all directions and continuously injected into Roland's body.

With the influx of vitality, Roland began to ascend.

All organs in Roland's body began to degenerate, and the flesh, nerves, and bones beneath the epidermis began to dissolve.

Afterwards, the same happened to his heart, liver, lungs, stomach, kidneys, brain and all other tissues and organs in his body, all of which degenerated and dissolved.

As his organs degenerated and dissolved, Roland's will gradually faded and dissipated.

The heart, the last organ in the body, stopped beating and completely dissolved, and Roland's body also lost any signs of life.

However, although he had lost the support of his internal organs and no signs of life, Roland's appearance seemed to have not changed at all. He still sat steadily on the blanket, like a black hole, constantly absorbing the vitality around him.
