Become a knight starting with synthesized entries.

"It's you."

Roan glanced at Pigu, a true apprentice knight, whose aura was far stronger than that of Roan, a novice.

If he were just an apprentice knight, Roan wouldn't be afraid.

But if Piggu had combat skills, his strength would probably be several times greater.

Luo An didn't stand on ceremony and pulled out two firecrackers from his pocket.

If you can't beat someone, call for help. That's Roan's chivalry.

Pigu knew what Roan was thinking, and he nudged Dugan, who was lying there like a dead dog.

"If you dare to throw firecrackers, I'll kill him."

Roan couldn't help but grin. Who did he think he was, a righteous knight?

"What does this have to do with me?"

Pigu was taken aback. Then he became somewhat annoyed.

"You even disregard your comrades?! Do you even deserve to be called a knight?!"

Luo An's face immediately darkened.

"You, whoever randomly cuts off people's hands and feet, dare to lecture me?"

Pigu held his head high, and although his expression was not visible under the cloak, Roan guessed he must be very proud.

"Everything I've done is for the God of Black. You fools won't understand us."

"But today... I'm giving him to you, just don't set off firecrackers. Let me go."

Having said that, Pigu actually took a step back, giving Dugan the space.

Luo An's eyes flickered slightly. His hand stopped moving.

If they were just ordinary bandits, Luo An could accept this condition.

After all, the risk of fighting a powerful enemy with combat skills is too great.

But through piecing together the "monkey typewriter," Roan knew that these guys, who didn't plunder civilians but instead attacked the militia, and who were driven by a fanatical fighting spirit, were undoubtedly cultists.

These lunatics will definitely not let Luo An go.

Knowing that Piggu was using Dugan to get close to him, Roan had the same idea. As for whether Dugan could live or die, that was none of Roan's business.

Luo An quietly tightened his grip on the axe, the imposing aura on it slowly dissipating, leaving no time for further thought.

Luo An had no choice but to throw the firecrackers on the ground.

"Step back."

Pigu slowly retreated.

Luo An carefully approached Dugan, keeping an eye on Pigu as he squatted down and helped Dugan up.

The moment Luo An crouched down, a long sword suddenly appeared in Pigu's hand.

He quickly lowered his body, raising his longsword to shoulder level, in a strike stance.

A powerful current of air immediately gathered at the tip of the sword.

A golden light immediately appeared in Luo An's eyes.

[Combat Skill: Rapid Thrust!]

The moment the golden light appeared, Pigu sprang into action, closing the ten-step distance to Luo An's face in an instant. His longsword was aimed directly at Luo An's throat.

"So fast!"

Luo An was secretly alarmed, but thankfully he had been alert.

Without hesitation, Luo An wielded his axe, which exuded a powerful aura, and chopped upwards.

Boom!

The walls surrounding the alley suddenly exploded, and the longsword, less than an inch from Luo An, was unable to advance any further.

Pigu's eyes widened in horror. Then his body swayed, his upper body still erect, but his buttocks flew off to some other house, and a scream rang out.

Pigu stared intently at Luo An until the light in his eyes disappeared, unable to believe it even in death.

"What... kind of combat technique is this!?"

Luo An gasped for breath. The power of the [Chihont's Axe] was so great. Although it did not consume Luo An's own strength, just swinging the axe made half of Luo An's body go numb.

As expected, Mr. Levi was right; powerful combat skills require powerful breathing techniques and physical support.

If this force were any stronger, it might even tear Luo An's shoulder apart with its powerful aura.

After waiting for a while, no new achievements popped up.

However, the percentage for "First Blood" jumped to 600%.

It seems that killing an apprentice knight is not an achievement.

Of course, it's also possible that the apprentice knight is too weak or not special enough.

"Hey. Jally, stop pretending to be dead." Roan forced back his pain and called to Jally.

"Take Dugan away."

Jalli raised his head, looking at the courtyard filled with messy axe marks and Pigu, who had been split in two, and then at Roan, his eyes filled with awe.

Seeing that Jiali did not move, Luo An called out again.

Jalley nodded, enduring his discomfort as he carried Dugan on his back; if they delayed any longer, Dugan would really die.

"Wait a minute." Roan called out to Jalley, walked towards half of Pigna, and reached under Pigna's black cloak.

If I remember correctly, Pigu bought two bottles of healing potion.

Pigu was very cautious and also knew how to take drugs.

But how could he have imagined that he would be killed by Luo An in an instant?

Sure enough, Roan pulled out two bottles of healing potion, unopened, with Tonery's shop logo on the seals.

Luo An also found 60 copper coins.

Luo An put the copper coin in his pocket.

Then he tossed another bottle of healing potion to Jiali.

"Give it to Dugan; it might help." After all, Dugan was injured because of his orders to patrol at night.

This is a bottle of healing potion, which should theoretically be Luo An's spoils of war, and worth at least one silver coin, but Luo An gave it to him without hesitation.

Jally's gaze toward Roan shifted from awe to a hint of reverence.

"Thank you, Lord Roan."

Jali poured the treatment liquid into Dugan's throat.

Dugan only let out a muffled groan; the bleeding had stopped, but his face remained deathly pale.

Jiali quickly asked Luo An, "What should we do?"

"The medicine isn't helping him much! Quickly put his hand back!"

A loud shout suddenly rang out from the end of the alley.

A squad of soldiers, flanking the Levi's Knight, quickly surrounded the two.

Levi glanced at Roan, his eyes filled with a complex and indescribable meaning.

He turned and ordered, "Find someone to take Dugan's hand back. Jalley, put Dugan down."

"Yes." The soldier and Jalli's eyes lit up, and they put Dugan back on the ground. They were expecting something.

Levi raised his head, his tone gentle.

"Luo An, do you need to rest?"

Luo An shook his head, somewhat puzzled.

Why isn't Levi's taking Dugan for treatment?

"Lord Levi, we've found him!"

A soldier held up Dugan's bloody severed hand, which still smelled of strong alcohol.

"Give it to me." Reeves knelt beside Dugan, took his hand, lifted his arm, and commanded:

"All soldiers surround me. Begin the ceremony."

Following Levi's instructions, the soldiers surrounded him, clasped their hands together, and chanted softly.

Levi closed his eyes and murmured.

"Great and merciful Mother...you were born into this world..."

A golden light suddenly appeared in Luo An's eyes.

[Miracle: Restoration]

[This tells the story of the birth of the great mother, Tsering. Chanting this miracle can restore health.]

Miracles: Miracles are the stories told by the gods. Through prayer, one receives divine grace.

"There is such power." Luo An knew about the faith in this world and the power of faith, but this was the first time he had seen such power.

The great mother Ciel, who is also the faith of Roan's late adoptive mother Yunina.

【Monkey Typewriter】A name and effect that barely cobbled together the knowledge. As Levi's speaking speed increased, Roan gradually couldn't understand, and there was no new content.

At the same time, a soft golden light slowly emerged from Levi's hand, gradually enveloping the severed hand.

The golden light lasted for about 5 minutes before slowly dissipating.

Beads of sweat appeared on Levi's forehead. He stopped chanting, stood up unsteadily, and gave the order:

"Drag him away and clean this place up. Tell Dugan that although he's been brought back, he can't lift heavy things with this hand for three months."

"Jiali, you should go and rest too."

"Yes." The soldiers nodded, looking at the tall Jalli with a hint of awe, while ignoring Roan.

As they moved the body, they whispered among themselves: "This militiaman was really something, managing to kill a cultist. He's probably already an apprentice knight, right?"

Luo An was filled with regret; he should have finished looting the corpse first.
