Become a knight starting with synthesized entries.

Luo An's face darkened, and he slapped Bei Dang's hand away.

"Stop singing, it sounds awful. Quickly find an excuse to get rid of them."

Pétain coughed, then became serious. "I'm learning from Levi. Levi instructed me not to use harsh methods against these lowly people."

He shrugged. "Sorry, Captain of the Guard, there's nothing I can do."

"..."

Luo An cursed under his breath, looking at the believers who were praying devoutly in front of the camp and murmuring the name of the Great Mother. Just as he was having a headache, a white carriage suddenly drove up from a distance and quickly stopped in front of the camp.

Even from a distance, the golden church emblem on the front of the carriage allowed Roan to recognize the person.

He is a member of the church.

Sure enough, familiar figures jumped off the carriage: a petite red-haired nun and the dignified black-clad priest, Greg. He also noticed Luo An and raised his hand to greet him with a smile.

"So fast?" Only one day had passed, and the church people had already arrived.

"Oh, I forgot to remind you," Pétain said, remembering something, "you slept for two days. It's the morning of the third day now."

Luo An was taken aback; he thought he had only slept for a few hours.

How could he sleep for so long? There are still so many things to take care of.

"He's taken care of everything Levi's orders, including feeding the griffins and patrolling," Pétain said nonchalantly.

"Of course, I did it all. You should thank me."

Luo An breathed a sigh of relief. It felt really good to have someone clean up your mess while you sleep and do nothing.

Meanwhile, the villagers also spotted Ge Gao, the well-known priest of the Eisen Territory, whose presence at the border was enough to cause a stir among the villagers.

They quickly surrounded Ge Gao, but Ya Yang squeezed through the crowd and greeted him with a smile.

"Luo An, it's been a few days, have you missed me?"

"Hmm." Luo An hesitated slightly, he didn't know. He had fallen asleep.

The momentary silence earned her a disgruntled snort as she put her hands on her hips.

"I knew it. You are the one being watched over by Mother. I am just a lowly maid serving our great mother. Of course, I am not noticed by anyone."

Having said that, Luo An could only cough.

"Actually, there is a little bit."

Ya Yang smiled and said, "Hmph, I don't believe it."

Betty Pétain stood nearby with her arms crossed, and the conversation between the two men made her uncomfortable.

"This noisy little red sparrow is neither reserved nor elegant, Roan, don't you think she's utterly rude?"

Ya Yang rolled her eyes at Bei Dang.

"Pétain Silverseeker, it seems you've emerged from the nightmare of being abandoned by Leah Lionheart. I'm truly happy for you."

Pétain's expression immediately turned somewhat unpleasant.

"Alright, Sister Yayan, don't make things difficult for Lord Pétain Silverser."

At this moment, Ge Gao finally broke free from the villagers and nodded to Bei Dan with a smile.

"Hello, Mr. Bei Dan, the eldest son of the Silver Serpent family. I didn't expect to meet you at the border."

"Greetings, Your Excellency the Priest." Pétain rarely nodded and bowed.

"I am a knight born of nobility, and even on muddy ground, I will not be stained in the slightest."

"Hehe." Ge Gao nodded politely in response, then eagerly walked towards Luo An and extended his hand to him.

"Lord Luo An, it's been half a month since we last met. It's great to see you again."

Luo An quickly stepped forward and grasped Ge Gao's hand.

"Hello, Father, what brings you here in person?"

"Hehe, of course it's our child watched over by the great mother, Lord Luo An." Ge Gao gently stroked Luo An's hand as if caressing a precious treasure.

"My child, can you now tell me with your own voice that you are someone who is being watched over by our great mother?"

Luo An's smile froze slightly. He tried to pull his hand back several times, but Ge Gao was extremely strong and he couldn't get it out no matter what he did.

After several attempts, Luo An had no choice but to give up. He pondered for a moment, then nodded.

"I'm sorry, Father, I know I can use miracles, and I'm different from you, but I don't feel anything myself."

"If what you mean by being watched over by a great mother is true, I do not deny it."

Ge Gao was somewhat disappointed and released Luo An's hand.

"I see."

Luo An nodded emphatically.

Rather than attributing his achievements to the watchful eye of his great mother, Luo An believes he got to where he is today because his adoptive mother picked him up from the muddy streets.

Ge Gao smiled again. "Luo An, you are such a kind child. Even when you are confused, you are willing to guide those of us who are even more confused."

May the great mother always watch over you.

Ya Yang also bowed and said sincerely, "May the great mother always watch over you."

Luo An was a little embarrassed; these were his honest thoughts, but the two seemed to have misunderstood.

After bowing, Ge Gao looked up again. "Child, don't rush. Just like the great mother, Tsering, who didn't know she would become such a noble miracle in the beginning, just do what you want to do now."

"I have no intention of disturbing you. Besides seeing you, I have another important matter to attend to at the border."

"Is it about establishing a [connection]?" Pétain interjected directly.

"Heather really wants to turn this place into a defensive line?!"

"Yes, Master Pétain," Gergo smiled. "As you said. This place will become a new town, an outpost, a fortress, and walls."

"It wasn't just Lord Heather's idea; it was the result of discussions among all the lords of the Aisen Territory."

At this point, Ge Gao's smile faded slightly.

"Besides Aisen Territory, monsters have appeared in all the kingdom's lands. There are just too many, even with preparations."

Ge Gao paused for a moment, then looked at Luo An seriously.

"Compared to other territories, the Eisen Territory on the far frontier is much better, and this is all thanks to Lord Roan."

"Me?" Roan never expected that he was just a small Black Iron Knight, so how could he possibly make the vast Eisen Territory better?

It should be noted that, apart from Lorton, Roan had never been to the territories of other lords, and even the size of the Aisen Territory was only a vague concept.

"Of course it's you, Lord Roan," Gogol stroked his beard. "My child, you have no idea what a great thing you are doing."

"It is because you are here that we want to build a fortress to defend against monsters. You are the foundation and the banner."

Good heavens, Father Gregory is such a complimenter! He made Roan so embarrassed that he kept waving his hands.

"What does this have to do with 'connection'?"

Ge Gao withdrew his gaze. "That's also why I came to the border."

"The only miracle I can perform is [Contact] to allow the lord of Aisen Territory to communicate directly with Lord Roan."

Roan was taken aback. "A meeting between lords? Heather should be the one to attend."

Heather would never entrust something so important to Roan, absolutely not.

"Lord Heather is nowhere to be found, so I'll have to trouble you to wait a few more days."

Ge Gao was not surprised.

"No rush. Lord Heather already knows."

"She instructed us that if she was not present, Lord Roan should take her place."

"Don't be nervous, child. Everything has a beginning, especially for you."
