I have to get lucky right away.

Chapter 592 Fate is truly interesting
Feng Xue watched Chen Xuan and Kevin chatting across servers with a smile. Before long, a rather large village appeared in front of them.

The village is built around a small hill, at the top of which stands a rather sturdy stone and wood structure with a flag bearing a pattern of three spirals. Ignoring the size of the building, it has the feel of a medieval castle, but considering its area, it is actually just a large villa.

The villages at the foot of the mountain, unlike the castle-like villas, do not use original stone foundations and wooden walls. Although they look somewhat classical, a closer look reveals modern traces such as cement and electric lights. Some houses even have old tractors or trucks parked behind them, presenting a strange scene where technology and classicism coexist.

The villagers' clothing was a mix of styles, with some wearing modern cotton-padded jackets and others wearing traditional woolen cloaks. They all cast curious glances at Kevin the Knight, who was approaching with two strangers on motorcycles.

However, compared to the curiosity of ordinary people, the knights in the village, whether they were trained by themselves, came from elsewhere, or brought their own provisions, became excited. They immediately leaped onto their warhorses, ready to welcome foreign enemies and traitors.

Seeing this, Kevin knew exactly what these people were thinking. He immediately shouted:

"Go quickly and inform the King! I have brought back news of the Princess and that wild knight, as well as two warriors who are willing to assist us and are exploring the path of knighthood!"

Generally speaking, even those who possess a destiny wouldn't address the village chief as "King," but once they do, everyone realizes that Kevin is indicating that a destiny ascension ceremony is currently underway.

The knights who had mounted their horses became excited, and some of the more clever ones, who were destined to be knights, spurred their horses and charged toward the small hill.

To be honest, although it's probably a small village with fewer than 10,000 people, it does have the grandeur of a city-state kingdom from the mythical era.

Before long, Chief Commark, riding a white horse and accompanied/protected by a group of attendants, walked out of his "castle".

Contrary to expectations, this holder of the "King" destiny did not adopt a crown-wearing, scepter-wielding posture. He was tall and robust, wearing a thick woolen coat, with a rugged face but sharp eyes. He appeared to be only in his forties or fifties.

He wore an ornate, ceremonial broadsword at his waist, but on his wrist was an old, metal-cased mechanical watch. His face was grim, as if he were annoyed by his daughter's elopement.

But Feng Xue could clearly sense that beneath that anger lay a hint of helplessness.

"After all, it's guided by fate." Unlike Chen Xuan, Feng Xue had already figured out the general situation. She figured that this "king" was probably struggling with the dilemma of "following fate or trying to win back his daughter."

Kevin, however, was already immersed in the excitement of joining the epic, and immediately spurred his horse forward to tell the middle-aged village chief what had happened.

After listening to the report, Village Chief Commark carefully examined Feng Xue and Chen Xuan. He couldn't see through Feng Xue's aura at all, only finding her unpredictable. As for Chen Xuan... although he seemed to lack a certain composure, he was no ordinary person, having taken down Kevin and his horse with a single punch while Kevin was charging. He had no intention of making things difficult or questioning him; after all, in this world where strength reigns supreme, power is the best passport.

"Thank you for your assistance, two powerful individuals who have traveled from afar." The village chief's voice was deep and powerful, carrying a sense of oppression far exceeding his actual status as village chief. "That madman who tarnished my family's honor and abducted my daughter is hiding in the 'Wailing Forest' to the north. I have sent several groups of men to capture him, but he easily defeated them all. That damned wild knight! He must pay the price for what he has done!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan was delighted. They even knew the location, so there was no need for Pigsy to carry his wife; they could just charge straight there!

Thinking of this, he immediately declared righteously, "Village Chief, please rest assured! Such evil deeds are outrageous to both gods and men! We will definitely capture that madman and restore justice to Gaomark Village!"

Although Village Chief Mark felt that the black-haired young man's choice of words was a bit too classical and dramatic, he also noticed that the other party's words and lip movements did not match, obviously using some kind of translation technology. He didn't know much about it and didn't intend to ask any more questions. Although his daughter's elopement caused his original plan to marry into a powerful knight family to fall through, the village chief was not actually in a hurry to get his daughter back.

From the perspective of destiny, this is not without its own path to sublimation. If the daughter cannot be retrieved, his destiny as king can be further elevated, transforming from a mere title into that of a ruler with actual dominion (Note ①). If she can be retrieved, the knights under his command can also gain an opportunity for sublimation in this operation of "retrieving the princess from the villains who kidnapped her".

From this perspective, although both sides could profit, it seems that not having the money recovered would actually be more beneficial.

Just as he was about to refuse Chen Xuan, he heard Kevin whisper that the other party might be a practitioner of the legendary knight's path, and a thoughtful look appeared on his face.

Assuming these two are powerful figures pursuing the path of legendary knights, their participation would imbue this recapture with a legendary aura. If they succeed, his title might even change—from a mere extra in a heroic epic to a high-ranking supporting character capable of commanding heroes?
Having considered this, the village chief understood the implications and immediately said:

“Alright! I will send the village knights with you. They are familiar with the terrain and can assist you.”

As soon as the order was given, the entire village sprang into action. Just as Kevin had explained, this village was essentially a destiny training center, much like the martial arts schools in wuxia novels that take in apprentices and teach them basic skills.

After the ceremonial preparations—feeding the horses, adjusting the saddles, and organizing weapons and equipment—were completed, a dozen or so knights, including Kevin, had assembled. They were all fully armed, their armor gleaming, their swords razor-sharp, their faces displaying a mixture of excitement and nervousness at the prospect of participating in an "epic event"!
“The young soldiers are eager for military merit.” Feng Xue’s eyebrows rose slightly, but when he thought of the wild knight’s possible fate, his smile became somewhat malicious.

But Chen Xuan clearly didn't notice this. He was still immersed in the joy of soon getting Zhu Bajie, so he twisted the throttle and headed towards the so-called Forest of Sighs with a group of mounted knights...
