Become a knight starting with synthesized entries.

clang!

clang!

puff!

Bright red blood stained Luo An's hands.

Because of the armor, the axe only touched Verin's neck and could not penetrate any further.

But that was enough; the bandit knight had lost all his strength and had no chance of standing up again.

Luo An, panting, glanced at Wei Lin to make sure he wouldn't stand up again.

Then Roan swayed as he stood up and began searching for the key on the body of the dead bandit knight.

"Give me a quick death! Let me die like a knight."

Luo An fumbled for the key and opened the barn door.

The villagers who had been gathered at the entrance immediately rushed into the granary.

"Help me, Sir Knight!"

Please open the door quickly.

"Retreat one at a time. One by one." Luo An knew that at this moment, it was most dangerous for hundreds of people to rush out of the narrow barn.

However, the villagers whose buttocks had been burned by the fire did not listen to Luo An.

Instead, they desperately stretched out their hands and squeezed their bodies out, even if it was just one.

Luo An didn't hold back either, throwing a punch through the window bars that made the nearest villager stagger before the shoving stopped.

Luo An slowly inserted the key into the lock and turned it.

Click,

The gate opened, and countless terrified eyes fell upon Luo An's blood-stained longsword.

Even though Luo An was swaying slightly from exhaustion, no one dared to step out of the town. Instead, they lined up in an orderly fashion to leave the barn.

Luo An nodded in satisfaction.

"Run east along the edge of the village. There will be someone there to meet you."

"Yes," the villager muttered softly, then, after passing Roan, said in a low voice, "Thank you, Sir Knight."

"You are a true knight, may the gods bless you."

"Heh," Luo An chuckled, not caring at all.

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

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

Current achievement completion status: 5/10

Hey, is a simple thank you or a blessing enough to be considered payment?

Is the reward given by the gods?

Luo An was too lazy to say anything; now he just hoped that the front lines would remain peaceful.

Luo An did not intend to leave even after all the villagers had left.

There are still women and bandits in the village, but with Ryan on the front lines, victory is only a matter of time.

Some of the bandit knights will surely flee, and Roan must at least try to stop them.

"Cough cough cough." Weilin suddenly coughed loudly.

"You won!" Verin roared with all his might.

"Knight, Reeves's squire!"

Be thankful! You defeated Verin, the most cunning and treacherous knight in Aisen!

"Your Excellency Knight! You will enjoy praise like a knight, while I will die in this snow!"

"Sir, what's your name? Just give me a quick death! Consider it my thank-you gift!"

For a fleeting moment, Roan admired Verin; he was an interesting fellow.

Perhaps, as Verin said, the two met not on the battlefield but in a tavern, and perhaps they would buy each other a drink.

Roan walked over to Verin, squatted down in front of him, and reached out to tear off a piece of rag.

Verin laughed, then spat out a mouthful of blood. He closed his eyes and awaited death.

Luo An raised his hand and touched Weilin Luoxue's helmet.

Luo An frowned, feeling cold.

After removing Verin's armor, Roan picked up a rag, stared at the gruesome wound caused by the axe, and then helped Verin bandage his neck.

Verin's eyes were filled with surprise. For a moment, he thought Roan would strangle or kill him.

"Your Mightiness--?"

After managing to stop the bleeding, Roan finally spoke. "Roan Yunina, that's my name."

"Luan... Yunina, oh my god, what a beautiful name."

"Really?" Luo An was overjoyed. "That's my adoptive mother's name. She was a good person."

After saying that, Luo An patted Wei Lin on the shoulder and smiled.

"Goodbye, bandit. The bleeding has stopped, but the wound is still worsening."

Luo An looked up; the snow was getting heavier. It wouldn't stop until dawn.

"If nothing unexpected happens, you have half an hour left to live in this iron coffin."

During this time, you will die in agony in this snowy land, suffering from the cold and excruciating pain.

The joy of survival still lingered on Verin's face.

After Roan finished speaking, Verin braced himself against the ground and struggled to get up, but because the armor was too heavy, he fell to the ground again.

Despair instantly crossed his face. As Luo An had said, with blood loss and the bitter cold, it was impossible for him to leave the coffin on his own.

"Roan! Roan Yunina! Why did you do this?"

"Why did you do this? You monster!"

"You dare to be a knight?!"

Roan shrugged, kicked away the longsword on the ground to prevent Verin from using it to commit suicide, and turned to leave.

At the end of the road, Luo An remembered something, turned around and smiled.

"Oh, right, Lord Verin, I almost forgot to tell you something."

Fighting you is like wiping dog poop off the sole of my shoe—utterly dishonorable.

Incredulity crossed Verin's desperate face.

"Shut up! Roan! Come back! Fight me!"

Luo An drew his longsword, turned his head without looking back, and walked further and further away.

After walking a few steps, a golden light suddenly appeared before Luo An's eyes.

[Golden Achievement: Arrogance]

[Unlock condition: Humiliate and mock someone until their spirit is broken. (1/10)]

Another new achievement unlocked.

It's still a gold achievement.

The unlocking conditions are quite demanding.

They want to humiliate, ridicule, and break a person's heart.

It's as if Luo An is some kind of demon.

Luo An pursed his lips and walked around the village with his sword in hand.

Simply kill any unfamiliar face wielding a sword.

An army that loses its leader will collapse.

Not to mention a group of unorganized bandits.

Therefore, Luo An didn't need to exert much effort.

After a while, golden light appeared before Luo An's eyes once again.

[Golden Achievement: We slaughter our brethren who have fallen to evil]

[Unlock condition: Kill the Fallen Knight. (1/100)]

Luo An raised an eyebrow slightly.

Another gold achievement.

All gold achievements need to be unlocked.

The white one is actually more user-friendly.

Luo An sighed and glanced at [(Kindness)] again.

We're still halfway through the project; hopefully, we can live up to Luo An's hard work.

"Lord Luo An!"

A tall guard ran towards Luo An, panting.

"You're covered in blood, are you injured?"

"Heh." Just as Roan was about to speak, a silver-white knight stepped out from behind Jally.

"Jiali, what nonsense are you spouting? Lord Roan is a knight under the watchful eye of the Sun King, Kangor."

"It is because of Lord Luo An that we were not injured. Lord Luo An will certainly not be injured either. Praise be to the sun!"

Is the ridge high?

Luo An chuckled, almost forgetting that he was acting on behalf of Kango.

Now that things have come to this, if he says he doesn't know Kangor, Ryan might lose his faith and it would affect the subsequent missions.

Ryan suddenly remembered something, "Oh, right, Lord Roan, the villagers want to thank you in person. What do you think?"

Now that he heard that the person was alright, Luo An felt a little relieved.

"Let's settle the people in the village first, then we need to get to Cosette Village as soon as possible."

There is also an apprentice knight over there, and an army.

And, as Toneri mentioned, the "great wolf" deep in the valley.
