Noble Carriage

Before long, Li Qi was once again riding this world's steam train.

However, unlike the regular seats he took last time, this time Li Qi was in a carriage reserved for Nobles.

This was also Bolent's arrangement, after all, Li Qi's current identity was that of a Noble.

And since he was a Noble, he couldn't stay in the carriage with the 'Commoners', otherwise, with Li Qi's current attire and identity, it would attract attention.

The Noble carriage on the steam train was much more luxurious than the regular carriages.

It was even much more luxurious than the High-Speed Rail carriages Li Qi had seen.

In the entire carriage, there were only a few seats spaced far apart, adding up to probably less than twenty in total.

The wallpaper inside the carriage was dark red, decorated with diamond patterns. Above each window and the doorframes leading to the aisles on both sides, there were stuffed animal specimens and some oil paintings that were difficult to understand.

The entire floor of the carriage was covered with a red carpet stretching from one end to the other.

The seats fixed in the carriage were covered with golden fabric and blankets. In the middle of the seats, there was a round table painted with mahogany finish.

At the other end of the carriage, there was a standing wine cabinet, with various types of wine displayed inside, available for the Nobles in the carriage to take at any time.

Upon entering this carriage, Li Qi's first thought was 'extravagance'.

It was too extravagant.

It was just a regular carriage, why did it need to be so luxurious?

He couldn't understand what these Nobles were thinking.

However, Li Qi didn't think about it for too long. After entering the carriage, Generro led Li Qi to a seat further away, near the door.

Even among Nobles, there were different ranks.

The identity Li Qi currently held was backed by a Baron family, and a Baron family was probably the lowest-ranked Noble in this carriage, not qualified to sit in the more elaborate seats in the middle row.

Li Qi didn't mind. Wearing a veiled hat, with his face covered by a veil, and holding a Lady's Fan that Noble girls in this world carried, he sat down gracefully in his seat.

Actually, he hadn't studied Noble etiquette, but even if he hadn't eaten pork, he had seen pigs run.

When Li Qi was a celebrity and the Gambling King, he had interacted with European Nobles quite a bit, and he knew some basic etiquette.

At least, it was more than enough to deal with the other Nobles in this world.

Because his appearance was hidden by the veil, the other Nobles sitting there just glanced at Li Qi and no longer paid attention.

They were either reading newspapers or quietly chatting with Nobles they knew, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, Generro also breathed a sigh of relief.

He put away the luggage and quietly said to Li Qi:

"Little Miss, would you like me to get you some pastries?"

"No need."

Li Qi responded softly, pointing to his veil:

"Unless absolutely necessary, it's best not to take this off."

Li Qi's disguised appearance only bore a slight resemblance to his original appearance.

By changing the key hairstyle, hair color, and eye color, and applying some decorative foundation to his face, he could be completely distinguished from the previous Li Qi.

But the Granger family in the Royal Capital was likely still looking for Li Qi, so just in case, it was better for him to keep the veil on as much as possible.

Generro nodded and didn't say anything more. He whispered:

"Then, Little Miss, I'll go to the carriage next door. You can call me directly if anything comes up."

"Okay."

Li Qi softly responded, and Generro got up and left.

This was the Noble carriage; only Nobles had the right to sit in this carriage. As for the servants brought by Nobles...

Unless they were servants brought by the children of Marquis or Earl families, the servants of others could only stay in the carriage specially prepared for them next door.

Generro was not qualified to stay here.

However, generally speaking, there was no need for servants in the Noble carriage.

Nobles valued their reputation; they were usually very friendly when facing other Nobles.

Even when facing hostile Nobles they didn't like, they would at most engage in verbal arguments.

Using force in public was a poor practice.

Therefore, there was no need to worry about Li Qi encountering trouble here.

After Generro left the carriage, Li Qi also took out the booklet Bolent had prepared for him from his small bag and began to read it.

Showing his talent in front of Bolent last time was indeed a brilliant move.

Bolent clearly valued Li Qi more. The booklet he gave Li Qi this time contained some Knight Skills that he had summarized and were easy to learn.

Most of the Knight Skills overlapped somewhat, but a small portion of them could make up for Li Qi's shortcomings.

Knight Skills were different from Magic.

Magic involves using Magic Power to draw runes mentally, then shaping the Magic Power into various elements to release.

Knight Skills, on the other hand, are applied to oneself.

Whether it's Magic Entanglement, Beru's Sword of Thunderclap, or Bolent's Petrification.

They are all using Magic Power to strengthen their bodies.

Li Qi's previous guess was correct; the Knights in this world don't have a Superpower like his that allows them to see the flow of Magic Power within their bodies, so they can't safely gather Magic Power in a specific place.

But they can create similar Knight Skills, following a specific route to transform Magic Power into something else and concentrate it in a certain position.

This is the origin of Knight Skills.

And this is also why Li Qi can learn Knight Skills so quickly.

He can see the flow of Magic Power; all Knight Skills hold no secrets before his eyes.

For this world, Li Qi is an absolute genius.

Whether as a Knight or a Mage, he can easily reach the peak.

Bolent saw this, which is why he compiled some Knight Skills and gave them to Li Qi, even changing the purpose of Li Qi's trip to Inglis because of it.

Bolent left a letter in the box.

The content of the letter was for Li Qi to forget the Spy mission; his only mission now was to go to the Inglis Magic Academy and learn more magic.

Learn as much as possible, ideally learning all the magic there. If he could innovate, even better!

This was the new mission he arranged for Li Qi after discovering his talent.

It's clear how much Bolent values Li Qi now.

"Though I'm very grateful to him, these Knight Skills here aren't very useful..."

Flipping through the Knight Skills in the booklet, Li Qi muttered to himself.

Bolent did have good intentions in compiling the Knight Skills he knew and giving them to Li Qi.

But the Knight Skills in the booklet were either similar to Beru's, adding elements to weapons, or redirecting Magic Power to strengthen a certain body part.

The former, needless to say, wasn't very useful to Li Qi. After learning the method of transforming Magic Power into elemental enchantments from Beru, he could extrapolate and create other Knight Skills himself.

As for the latter...

Li Qi had always been using Magic Power to strengthen himself; he had already learned to redirect Magic Power to any part of his body when he was on the battlefield.

What was recorded in the booklet completely overlapped with what Li Qi already knew.

So, while the booklet wasn't completely useless, it wasn't of much help either.

Better than nothing.

At least it could be used to pass the time.

Li Qi thought, continuing to flip through the booklet in his hand.

Just as he was engrossed in reading, a slightly neutral female voice came from beside him:

"Excuse me, little lady... May I sit here?"

Closing the book in his hand, Li Qi slightly turned his head to look to the side.

A tall woman wearing a brown trench coat, who didn't look like a Noble at all, stood beside Li Qi, smiling at him.
