I was a knight in the Middle Ages

Chapter 228: Training in the Snowstorm

"In terms of administration, Linda is responsible for overall control. The wall of the new city of Beth has been completed, and the next construction will focus on factory construction. The details can be discussed with Gurus." Alpha looked at the dwarf, thinking about how to distinguish between the two Gurus in the team.

"Gurus, the construction of the factory mainly includes two aspects: power machine tools and firearms modification. Power machine tools combine steam equipment with machine tools, while firearms modification is mainly aimed at installing magazines and achieving semi-automatic operation." Currently, magic rifles are basically handmade, and the standardization and pass rate of bullets are not high. Alpha proposed the direction of improvement.

"Make sure to complete the task!" The dwarf Gurus is a career-oriented person. What he can't stand the most is doing nothing. For him, difficulties are not scary, but having no direction is the scariest thing.

At the moment of making the decision, Alpha's eyes were firm and confident. He looked at Darwin, Manny, Jones, and Nars, and solemnly instructed: "You are responsible for building the Academy of Sciences and recording the magic and new medical knowledge in detail. We want to make the new science flourish and shine brightly."

Darwin was shocked. He knew that Alpha was a member of the Church. These new sciences were precisely the targets of the Church's suppression. Once they were made public, Alpha would definitely be regarded as an alien and a pagan. However, Darwin admired Alpha's determination and courage.

"Don't be afraid. We are currently only doing it internally. I firmly believe that in the future, all kinds of knowledge will erupt like a volcano, and no one will be able to stop its progress." Alpha looked at Darwin and explained in a firm tone.

Darwin was not a narrow-minded person. He was eager to spread his knowledge so that more people could benefit from it. However, he could not achieve this goal by his own strength. Now, Alpha had the courage to practice it, which surprised and excited Darwin.

"When I come back, I plan to establish a magic academy to popularize magical knowledge to the world. By then, you will become the first principal."

Darwin was so excited that he couldn't even utter a complete sentence. For him, this was simply his dream come true.

"The construction of the mining area in the Beth Mountains will be handed over to Beatrice. To build two railways, we need a large number of manpower to expand the mountainous area." Alpha couldn't help but think of excavators and bulldozers, but he didn't have time to study them now.

"I'll urge them to speed up, Alpha." Although Beatrice was not present, Linda kept this matter in mind.

The city construction arrangements have been completed and it is almost noon. In the afternoon, Alpha still needs to deal with his own personal affairs. This will be another busy day.

Alpha decided not to bring any followers with him during this trip into the mountains. At the dinner, only his woman and Tony Alice accompanied him. Alpha didn't want to leave, but it was not up to him to decide.

"Alpha, you can bring Mingyue Fanxing with you and let her take care of your daily life. At the same time, you can also let Fayana follow you to facilitate our daily work contact." Linda made a suggestion as a representative.

However, Alpha did not dare to go against Athena's decision. He responded, "Forget it now. I will let you know when I have a fixed location." Alpha knew Athena's authority and was unwilling to risk going against her wishes.

In this case, Alpha can only rely on his own ability and wisdom to deal with various situations in the mountains. He must be doubly careful to ensure his own safety and find a stable position as soon as possible to maintain contact with the outside world.

At the same time, Linda and others will pay close attention to Alpha's situation and wait for his news. They hope that Alpha can successfully complete the mission and return safely.

Although Alpha faces many challenges when he goes into the mountains alone, he must be firm in his faith and move forward bravely. He believes that through his own efforts and wisdom, he will be able to overcome difficulties and achieve his goals.

Although he was a little reluctant, Alpha still decided to follow Athena's instructions. He knew that this training was not only a rare opportunity, but also a difficult challenge. Only by going all out could he achieve a breakthrough.

The next morning, Alpha packed his bag quickly at daybreak, without even having time to say goodbye to Linda and other team members. Although they were worried about Alpha's safety, they were also happy for his upcoming growth.

Under the guidance of Athena, Alpha came to the depths of the Beth Mountains. This place is the highest peak of the Beth Mountains. The environment is harsh and dangerous, but it is an excellent place for cultivation. Athena carefully formulated a strict training plan for Alpha. From dawn to late at night, he almost always carried out various extreme training.

At first, Alpha felt very tired and exhausted every day. However, he never gave up easily because he knew the importance of persistence. As time passed, he gradually adapted to the intensity of training, and his body and mind were greatly tempered.

Finally, after a long period of hard training, Alpha felt that he was about to break through the bottleneck. On a clear and moonlit night, under the careful guidance of Athena, he mustered up his courage and tried to reach the level of the Bronze Knight. With a loud bang that shook the world, he succeeded! He truly felt a powerful force surging in his body, as if it was enough to shake the mountains and rivers.

However, all this was just Alpha's fantasy. When he woke up from the dream, he found that his training was still going on, with no sign of breakthrough. Time seemed to have stopped in his world, and he had long forgotten the passage of time. For at least a month, the surroundings were filled with white snow and crystal clear ice crystals, with no end in sight.

Alpha's cultivation journey is far from over. Although he experienced the joy of breakthrough in his dream, the reality is still cruel. He realized that he needed to practice harder to achieve the day of breakthrough.

In the following days, Alpha redoubled his efforts and constantly challenged his limits. With his sweat and persistence, he gradually overcame one difficulty after another. Whenever he felt exhausted, he would think of the self in his dream, the self who had successfully broken through, which gave him endless motivation.

On the majestic and towering Beth Peak, the extremely cold and snowy environment was not only a huge test of Alpha's willpower, but also suppressed his desires to the extreme. Alpha was panting and chewing hard food with difficulty, full of doubts in his heart: "Lady Athena, is your letting me practice here related to the mission assigned to me by the Holy See?"

Athena's eyes were deep and steady. She knew that Alpha's talent was not outstanding among many people, but the Pope chose him. There must be a deep meaning behind it. She said slowly: "Are you eager to know the purpose of cultivation? However, if you understand, you must break through yourself before leaving this place."

Alpha hesitated, knowing that this was a crucial decision. In the end, he decided to focus on completing his training first: "Then I will choose not to listen for now, sir. When can I leave this mountain?"

Athena stared into Alpha's eyes and replied calmly, "I will give you half a year to practice. If you can achieve a breakthrough within three days, you can go down the mountain after three days. However, in your current state, this does not seem to be an easy task."

Alpha knew that he was not a gifted person, so he did not have high expectations. He said firmly: "Then I choose not to listen for now."

So, Alpha continued his arduous training, honing himself in the ice and snow day after day. His body gradually became tougher and stronger, and his inner strength gradually accumulated imperceptibly. However, his progress was far from meeting Athena's expectations, which made him feel a little frustrated.

Finally, Alpha couldn't help but suggest, "Lady Athena, we only eat these dry food every day, which is not good for our bodies. Why don't we go down the mountain to find some game to improve our meals."

Athena understood Alpha's needs and knew that excessive forcing would not bring good results.

Athena knew Alpha's personality well, and she understood that excessive pressure might backfire. Therefore, she readily agreed: "Okay, I will allow you one hour of free time every day. But remember, if you fail to return on time, you will face serious consequences."

Alpha nodded gratefully, and he was determined to make full use of this rare opportunity. He planned not only to hunt, but more importantly to establish contact with the team down the mountain. On the way down the mountain, Alpha carefully avoided the wild beasts' nests, and with his skillful skills, he successfully captured several rabbits and a deer. He returned with his prey with joy, intending to share this sumptuous dinner with Athena.

As night fell, Alpha and Athena sat around the campfire, feasting on delicious game. They recalled past adventures and looked forward to future plans. Alpha felt an unprecedented sense of ease and joy, and his heart was filled with gratitude to Athena.

On the third day, Alpha successfully made contact with the monkey. They set up a temporary camp on the hillside 100 meters away from the training area. Mingyue Fanxing was responsible for taking care of Alpha's daily life, while Fayana was responsible for the handover of work tasks.

In the following days, Alpha continued to work hard to practice. His physical and mental state improved significantly, and he felt that he was getting closer and closer to his goal of breakthrough. Finally, one sunny morning, when Alpha was practicing, he suddenly felt a strong force pouring into his body. Alpha realized that he seemed to have broken through the realm of the Bronze Knight.

"Lady Athena, what magical thing did you give me to drink? I feel full of strength." Alpha's voice was filled with irrepressible excitement.

"Didn't you drink a lot before? How come you still forgot the taste?" Athena's tone was a little teasing. Her eyes fell on Alpha licking the white liquid on his lips, and she blushed involuntarily.

"No wonder it feels so familiar." Alpha glanced at Athena, as if thinking about something. He thought to himself, could it be because of Athena's ability that he felt a sense of familiarity with this smell?

Alpha sat on the ice and snow, quietly feeling the power of nature. He closed his eyes and began to circulate his internal energy, trying to stimulate his body's potential. He knew that only by constantly improving himself could he cope with future challenges.

In fact, there are two souls in Alpha's body. One is Alpha's original soul, he practices Dou Qi Jue, but this part of the soul is completely out of Alpha's control. The other soul is Zhang Mo who traveled through time and space. He can't practice Dou Qi, but he can practice the inner strength of the East. In the current extreme weather, Alpha's inner strength training speed has obviously accelerated a lot.

Alpha knows very well that the existence of these two souls is what makes him different. He must find a way to make the two souls coexist harmoniously and give full play to their potential. Only in this way can he truly break through his limits and become a more powerful being.

In the days to come, Alpha will focus more on exploring the power in his body and strive to master the essence of fighting skills and internal strength. He believes that as long as he perseveres, he will be able to achieve his goal and become a peerless master. And Athena will also give him support and help on his road to growth.

"Lady Athena, why are you here?" Alpha lazily leaned back on the armchair with his eyes slightly closed. He was enjoying the gentle massage of Mingyue, muttering to himself, "Is there something important?"

The door suddenly opened and Athena walked into the room. She took off her coat quickly and sat down casually by the fire. Her eyes were focused on the dancing flames, as if that was her only interest at the moment. She reached out to pick up the coffee on the table and took a sip gracefully, letting the fragrant taste slowly spread in her mouth.
