A few days later, Matthews received a message from Bolin, saying that his family's Earth Knights had arrived at the Caverns of Eternal Night.

This finally made him feel better. Although his theoretical knowledge still needed to be deepened, it was more than enough to cope with the initial experiments.

Matthews came to the place where he had agreed to meet with Bolin, and saw a burly man standing next to Bolin. He knew that this was the Knight of the Earth that Bolin had mentioned.

The sturdiness of a knight and that of a bloodline apprentice give people completely different feelings, and their strength is more restrained.

Matthews sincerely thanked Bolin: "Brother, thank you so much this time! Without your help, I might not be able to find a suitable Earth Knight to assist in the experiment."

Bolin smiled and responded, "I am also very happy to be able to help you. With your current reputation and status, it is difficult for me to reach your level."

Matthews nodded, not trying to be modest: "I will always remember your friendship. If you need anything, feel free to contact me."

Sincerity does not require too many words, it can be expressed directly, otherwise it will seem unreal.

Bolin then introduced the Earth Knight Kant Donbass to Matthews, laying the foundation for their cooperation.

Matthews politely gestured to Knight Kant: "Mr. Kant, thank you very much for taking the time to come and assist me in my experiment. With a knight as experienced and powerful as you joining, I firmly believe that this experiment will achieve its goal!"

Kante simply nodded in response without saying much.

After Bolin left, Matthews brought Kant to his laboratory.

When Kant saw the two humanoids locked in the corner, he couldn't help but feel a strong shock and uneasiness in his heart. Whether it was humans or humanoids, being used as experimental subjects was extremely cruel.

Matthews noticed the strange expression on Kant's face, so he took the initiative to introduce him to the basic situation of the two locusts.

However, when Kant learned that these two locusts were actually official knights, his face turned pale instantly. Besides being shocked, he felt more sympathy for their plight.

This is the cruel reality of the wizarding world. It is already a great honor to be able to protect humans from persecution. It is difficult for knights to be as cold-blooded as wizards because their chivalric code advocates justice.

Although Matthews had a certain degree of understanding of fighting spirit, this knowledge was only one-sided after all and was not enough to satisfy his desire for deeper exploration.

Therefore, he was eager to have an in-depth exchange with Kante, the senior knight, in order to gain richer and more direct insights.

"Mr. Kant, to be honest, I was once an apprentice knight. I have always had deep respect for the knights' firm beliefs and noble qualities," Matthews said sincerely.

Kant was surprised when he heard this. He had never thought that the wizard who had always been so high and mighty would actually praise the knights.

Matthews explained to Kanter in detail the next experimental steps and told him that he only needed to release his fighting spirit as required at the critical moment.

"As I said before, through this experiment, you will see for yourself the gap between fighting spirit and wizard power."

After that, Matthews said no more, and devoted himself to the preparations for the experiment. He carefully placed the shadow ball and added magic stones to the harmonizing magic array.

When everything was ready, he began to try to use his mental power to control the fighting spirit released by Kant.

Although Dou Qi gives people a gentle impression, it is actually quite difficult to control. Because Dou Qi is different from magic power or the power of death, it is difficult for outsiders to control it.

Matthews had to let Kant try to inject the fighting spirit into the harmonizing magic formation himself.

As an earth knight, although Kant cannot freely control the movement of his fighting spirit outside his body and can only cover his body with fighting spirit or condense it on his weapon, his fighting spirit still shows its extraordinary characteristics. His fighting spirit is restrained and seems calm, as if there is no power fluctuation, but in fact it contains huge energy.

Matthews also injected the power of death into the harmonizing magic circle. He carefully observed the interaction between the two forces with trepidation.

The fighting spirit was very strong and tenacious. It was not unilaterally eliminated by the power of death. However, there was no sign of fusion between the two, but they gradually canceled each other out under the influence of the witch formation.

The experimental results show that the integration of these two power systems is not feasible, which undoubtedly means the failure of the reconciliation experiment.

This was a heavy blow to Matthews, he spent a lot of time and energy, even bought humanoid knights and invited earth knights to participate in the experiment, but in the end it was all in vain.

Matthews really wanted to find a blood apprentice to vent his anger to his heart's content, but in front of Kant, the Earth Knight, he couldn't waste such a precious resource, so he forced himself to calm down.

In fact, this experimental result was one of the situations he predicted, but he was unwilling to accept it for the time being.

After calming down, Matthews asked Kant: "Mr. Kant, for a high-ranking knight like you, is there any effective way to significantly improve your combat effectiveness?"

Kant hesitated. He didn't want to communicate too much with the young man. He was just trying to complete the family mission. But under Matthews' insistence, he finally revealed a secret: "Rune Mark!"

Matthews immediately became very interested after hearing this: "Can you tell me more about it?"

Kanter explained that the rune branding is to enhance the knight's defense, strength and speed by carving and branding specific runes on the knight's body. The branded knight will gain extraordinary strength increase, and thus be honored as "Branded Knight". Their strength has far exceeded the level of ordinary knights.

Kant showed his infinite respect: "It was created by the great king of knights, Arthur, with reference to the wizard's runes and magic arrays."

Matthews was shocked. Wasn't this what he had been looking for but failed to obtain? It turned out that fighting spirit itself contained such a magical element. When he mentioned the King of Knights, he was more convinced that no matter which field, once it reached the peak, it would show extraordinary achievements.

He eagerly asked: "How much can the increase be?"

Kant looked embarrassed. These contents involved the knight's secrets, which he did not want to reveal. However, in view of the instructions of the master of the house and Bolin, he had to meet Matthews' requirements as much as possible.

Matthews noticed Kanter's hesitation and reassured him, "Mr. Kanter, don't worry. I just want to understand and make some reference."

Kante nodded: "In theory, the rune brand can double the knight's basic strength, speed and defense capabilities. However, there are many types of rune brands, each with a different focus."

Hearing about the amplification effect, Matthews cheered up again. This effect was enough to meet his initial needs. Although he himself could not take this path, he could definitely learn from the principles.

He further asked where the knights usually performed rune branding. Matthews was surprised to learn the answer—it was in the Knights Guild.

The Knights Guild was jointly founded by powerful knights with the aim of safeguarding the rights and dignity of the knights in the wizarding world.

Afterwards, Matthews arranged for Carter to rest in his own residence. Although his residence was simple, it was enough to meet basic living needs, and what was more convenient was that he didn't even need to lock the door.
