Become a knight starting with synthesized entries.

Luo An quickly stood at attention.

"Lord Levi..."

"Relax, lad. Don't be so reserved in front of me." Levi patted Roan on the shoulder.

Levi stared at the corpses that were nailed to the ground, severed at the waist, and had their heads completely obscured.

To be honest, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that these people were killed by the gentle, calm, and somewhat thin-looking Luo An.

"I received word that they were clearing out the cultists around the territory, but unexpectedly, a small group of defeated soldiers ran right up to the lord's feet."

"Thank goodness for you, Luo An."

"Luo An, you've done me a huge favor," Levi said earnestly.

"Don't say that," Luo An said earnestly.

"Lord Levi, you have done me a great favor. Without you, I would still be nothing but a stable boy."

Luo An's words came from the heart, without any pretense.

"Heh." Levi chuckled, looking Roan up and down, his eyes brimming with delight.

Levi knew that Roan was very tired, so he waved his hand and said, "Alright, you should rest first. I'll clean up your mess. The scene here is really... unbearable to look at."

"As for the reward, we'll talk about it after you've rested."

Luo An nodded wearily; the excessive use of breathing techniques had exhausted his body.

It seems the training wasn't enough.

……

Back in the corner of the castle, in Roan's room, besides a clean white bed, there was only a small stool against the wall, serving as a bedside table.

Luo An was exhausted. After taking off his hemp clothes, he quickly wiped himself down and lay down on the bed. He had just closed his eyes when there was a knock on the door.

dong dong.

"Coming," Luo An replied, feeling a warmth on his face. A ray of sunlight streamed through the window and shone on his face.

It was already broad daylight, and I never imagined I would be this tired.

The door opened, revealing a middle-aged soldier with blond curly hair who grinned at Roan.

"Lord Roan, do you remember me? I am Captain Jimmy."

Luo An remembered him; it was he who had kicked Luo An out of the soldiers' barracks a few days ago.

Jimmy exhaled a breath of alcohol, his arrogance from the previous days gone, and rubbed his hands together as he spoke.

"Lord Luo An, a few days ago you reported to me that there were cultists roaming around, but we didn't pay attention. Also, please don't tell Mr. Levi about me drinking while on duty."

"Ah, it's nothing." Luo An smiled and waved his hand. "Protecting Luodun is my duty. As long as Luodun Town is safe, that's enough."

"By the way, I won't tell Mr. Levi either, so don't worry," Roan added with a smile.

Jimmy grinned. He hadn't expected Roan to be so perceptive, and quickly patted his chest.

"Lord Roan, you're welcome to join the Legion anytime! Feel free to contact me if you need anything. In Roton Town, who doesn't give Jimmy some respect?!"

"I didn't expect that human relationships and social niceties still apply in this world." Luo An chuckled to himself, exchanged pleasantries with Jimmy, who tactfully refrained from further comment. After offering some advice, he left.

Luo An breathed a sigh of relief; Jimmy's stench of alcohol was just too strong. It gave Luo An a headache.

Just as I closed the door, there was another knock.

dong dong.

When I opened the door, it was Mr. Levi Strauss.

He stroked his chin and smiled, "Luo An. You're awake so early?"

Roan quickly stood up straight. "Lord Levi."

Reeves waved his hand. "Relax, kid. I saw Jimmy earlier. Was he here to cause you trouble? Or to silence you? Never mind. I'll talk to him about Jimmy. Come with me, I'll give you an award first."

Jimmy's in for a rough time, but it's not Roan's fault; Roan didn't say a word.

Luo An walked out of the room, closed the door, and walked towards the training ground with Li Weisi.

As they walked, Levi recounted what had happened the previous night.

They were just a group of ordinary cult members, who didn't even have a god to worship, yet they were tricked into making sacrifices.

In the past, Levi's was responsible for the security detail.

Generally speaking, training a group of militiamen and soldiers is more than enough to guard a town.

But this year's cult members were unusually numerous and scattered, distracting Levi. Combined with the soldiers' lax discipline, this allowed them to slip through.

Levi yawned as he spoke.

It's obvious he hasn't slept since yesterday.

Roan did not doubt Levi's words.

But when the topic turned to those "evil gods who didn't even have faith," Roan recalled what Pig had called the "black gods."

It's unclear whether Piggy was rambling or Levi had overlooked some clue.

Just as Luo An was thinking, Levi suddenly turned to Luo An.

"Thank goodness for you, Luo An. Your talent far exceeds my expectations."

"Ah. It's nothing." Although this wasn't the first time Luo An had declined, he repeated himself.

Reeves nodded, his gaze lingering on Roan for a moment longer.

Suddenly, the monkey typewriter started up.

Levi was deeply impressed by Roan's killing techniques.

Luo An's eyes flickered slightly, but he pretended nothing had happened and continued to follow behind Levi's.

The two arrived at the training ground one after the other.

Before they even got close, the militiamen burst into a wail.

"Lord Luo An!!"

Dugan rushed out of the crowd, ran to Luo An, and knelt down with a thud.

"It's so good to see you're alright."

The tall Jalli also stepped out from the crowd, his face flushed, and bowed his head, saying, "Lord Luo An."

Luo An was stunned for a moment, and before he could speak, Du Gan quickly took out two glass bottles of ale and presented them to Luo An with both hands.

"Lord Luo An, this is wine I brewed myself. Please don't refuse to accept it."

Even through the glass bottles, one could smell the rich aroma of the wine. Even though Luo An didn't drink, he knew that these two bottles of wine were quite valuable.

"Alright, Dugan, your hand isn't healed yet. Hand the drink to Roan and get out of here," Levi said irritably.

Levi knew that Roan wouldn't accept the drink, so he deliberately gave this order.

Having said that, Luo An had no choice but to accept the two bottles of wine.

At that moment, a golden light suddenly flashed before Luo An's eyes.

[Golden Achievement: Kindness: Receive ten selfless and grateful rewards.]

Current achievement completion status: 1/10

Luo An was somewhat surprised and couldn't help but glance at Dugan a few more times. The reward this guy gave Luo An had already exceeded Luo An's expectations, and it was still a selfless gift full of gratitude.

This made Luo An feel that he had been looking down on people.

While the others didn't notice Roan's unusual behavior, Levi shouted loudly:

"Everyone, stand still. It seems I've been too lenient with you. If it weren't for Luo An, half of you would be standing here today."

The militiamen, no longer as lax as before, stood in a row.

With a livid face, Levi gave the militia a severe scolding before turning to Roan, his expression softening considerably.

"Roan, it's fortunate you're here. It's a pity the lord is out; otherwise, he would have personally awarded you the knight's medal."

Luo An understood the meaning behind Li Weisi's words and became somewhat excited as well.

"Lord Levi, I've become a knight?!"
