Being a knight is not easy

Chapter 32 Meeting
Robin pursed his lips at Eric, his gaze sweeping over the beast carcasses scattered on the ground below the city, particularly those of the larger, higher-ranked beasts whose fur shone with a distinctive sheen. His voice was low, yet tinged with urgency, "There are quite a few high-ranking beasts down there."

Eric instantly understood Robin's intention, a flicker of excitement in his eyes. He grabbed the still-dazed Thompson and whispered, "Come on, let's go down and clean up the battlefield! The materials from these high-level beasts are rare treasures. Robin's medicinal food depends on them!"

Thomson was stunned for a moment, then reacted and nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, yes, hurry up! Don't let others get there first!"

The two of them quickly rushed down the city wall and headed straight for the corpses of the high-level beasts.

Robin looked at their backs, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he felt relieved.

The materials of these high-level beasts are crucial to their cultivation, especially the animal bones and blood that contain rich energy, which are the best raw materials for making medicinal food.

At the same time, the militia and civilian strongmen outside the city had begun to clean up the battlefield busily.

They mainly collected the corpses of low-level beasts. Although their value was not as good as that of high-level beasts, their quantity was large enough to ensure that the entire city would have no worries about food and clothing in the days to come.

As for the body of the earth-violent bear, it was carefully surrounded by several knights.

Its body is as big as a mountain, and even though it is dead, it still exudes a heart-pounding pressure.

Grand Knight Commander Damia stood beside the body of the Earth Violent Bear, and with a serious expression, he directed several knight apprentices to tie up its body with special ropes and prepare to transport it back to the city.

"The body of this Earth-Burning Bear must be delivered to the Lord's Mansion as soon as possible," said Grand Knight Damia in a deep voice, a hint of solemnity in his tone. "The Lord is in the critical stage of his attack on the Grand Knight. The body of this demon beast is of vital importance to him."

When Robin heard this, his heart moved slightly.

He had long heard that Lord Blot was striving to reach the realm of Grand Knight, and as a high-level magical beast, the magic core and blood essence in the Earth Violent Bear's body were undoubtedly the best help in breaking through the bottleneck.

If the breakthrough is successful, Lord Blot's strength will be greatly enhanced, and the security of the entire territory will be better guaranteed.

"Robin, are you okay?" Lily's voice came from the side, interrupting Robin's thoughts. She held a clean cloth in her hand and gently wiped the sweat from Robin's forehead, her eyes full of concern.

Robin smiled and shook his head: "I'm fine, just a little tired. I'll be fine after some rest."

Lily breathed a sigh of relief, a smile on her face. "Your performance just now was amazing! We all saw it, that arrow was simply divine!"

Robin waved his hand, a hint of humility in his tone: "It was just good luck. Without everyone's cooperation, I wouldn't have been able to shoot the Earth Bear in the eye."

Lily shook her head, her tone firm: "No, that's your strength. Robin, you are far superior to us."

Robin didn't say anything else, just patted Lily's shoulder gently and looked at the battlefield outside the city.

Eric and Thompson were busy collecting materials of high-level beasts. Their movements were quick and skillful, and it was obvious that this was not the first time they had done this.

"Robin, look!" Eric suddenly shouted excitedly, holding up a silver-glowing animal bone. "This is the spine of a Silver Moon Wolf! It's said to be the main ingredient in the Knight Apprentice's secret medicine!"

Robin's eyes suddenly lit up.

The Silver Moon Wolf was an extremely rare, high-level beast. Its spine was indeed one of the ingredients for refining secret medicine. He quickly shouted, "Be careful, don't break it! It's a treasure!"

Thompson also ran over with a pile of animal skins and blood, his face full of excitement. "Robin, look at these! They're all materials from high-level beasts. They'll be enough for us to use for a while!"

Robin nodded, feeling a surge of satisfaction.

With these ingredients, he could brew a more powerful medicinal meal to help everyone improve their strength faster. At this moment, the voice of Damia Knight Commander came from a distance: "Robin, come here."

Robin quickly stood up, dusted himself off, and walked quickly to the side of Grand Knight Damia. "Grand Knight, you're looking for me?"

Grand Knight Damia nodded, a hint of approval in his eyes. "Your performance today was outstanding. I have recommended you to the Lord, and he may meet you in person."

Robin was stunned for a moment, then felt a surge of excitement.

Lord Blot is the supreme ruler of this territory. It is undoubtedly a great honor to be received by him.

"Thank you, Grand Knight Commander!" Robin said solemnly, with gratitude in his tone.

Grand Knight Damia smiled and patted Robin on the shoulder. "You deserve this. However, you must work even harder. The Lord has high expectations of you."

Robin nodded, his eyes firm, "I will."

The next morning, Robin, led by Grand Knight Damia, set out for the lord's mansion.

After a night's rest, his physical strength had recovered to a large extent. Although his muscles were still a little sore, he was in high spirits.

This visit to Lord Blot is not only a recognition of his performance yesterday, but also a chance to change his destiny.

The Lord's Mansion is located in the center of Winston City and is a towering castle-like building.

The towering city walls are built of thick bluestone and are carved with intricate coats of arms, symbolizing the glory and history of the Blot family.

The castle gate was made of fine iron, with fully armed guards standing on both sides. Their eyes were as sharp as eagles. They were obviously the elite among the elite, and the worst were knight apprentices.

Grand Knight Commander Damia led Robin through a long corridor and finally came to a spacious study.

The furnishings in the study are simple and elegant. Several oil paintings depicting war scenes hang on the walls, and the bookshelves are filled with heavy classics.

In the center of the room, behind a huge oak desk, sat a burly middle-aged man.

He was wearing a dark blue aristocratic robe with a golden badge on his chest, the symbol of the Blot family. His face was resolute and his eyes were deep, as if he could see through people's hearts.

Although he was just sitting there quietly, he gave people a sense of awe without even being angry.

"My lord, Robin is here." Grand Knight Commander Damia bowed slightly, his tone full of respect.

Lord Blot raised his head and his gaze fell on Robin. He looked him over carefully, then smiled approvingly. "Are you Robin? I heard that you shot an arrow through the eye of the wild bear yesterday. You truly are a hero from a young age."

Robin quickly stepped forward, knelt on one knee, and said respectfully, "My Lord, thank you for your praise. I am only doing my duty."

Lord Blot nodded, his tone tinged with emotion. "It's truly rare for a young man to possess such strength and character. Damia has already reported your performance to me in detail, and I'm very satisfied with you."

Robin was delighted, but he still maintained a respectful expression on his face: "Thank you for the compliment, Lord."

Lord Brot stood up, walked over to Robin, and offered him a hand to help him up. "No need to be so polite. I summoned you this time not only to meet you, the young hero, but also to entrust you with a task."
