Become a knight starting with synthesized entries.

Regardless, the warriors who have fought should be given time to catch their breath.

Ya Yang suppressed her worries for the time being. Her priority now was to treat the wounded.

She had already cast a healing spell on the wounded guard; his life was no longer in danger.

Suddenly I remembered that the biggest contributor to this battle hasn't been treated yet.

Even if it looks fine on the surface, it could be bad if there are any internal injuries.

Just then, a loud thud came from behind Ya Yang.

Luo An lay motionless on the ground.

Ya Yang was startled and quickly ran to Luo An's side, struggling to turn him over to face up.

Luo An was breathing heavily; the overuse of breathing techniques had already taken a toll on his body, and he felt a little hot to the touch.

Ya Yang breathed a slight sigh of relief; since it wasn't a bleeding injury, Luo An could recover on his own.

Just to be on the safe side, I'll whisper the Miracle [Restoration] spell.

A faint golden light appeared in Ya Yang's hand, illuminating her pale yet gentle face.

The power of a mother is gentle; overuse is her mistake.

Even so, Mother forgave Ya Yang and gave her the strength to sing the Miracle again.

As the golden light gradually enveloped Luo An, his brows relaxed slightly.

"Phew," wiping the red hair that was stuck to her forehead with sweat, and watching the golden light fade away, Ya Yang suddenly noticed a small silver pendant on Luo An's chest, depicting a mother holding a child.

That is a symbol of [mother].

Ya Yang was taken aback, thinking that Luo An was a faithless person.

The way to distinguish between unbelievers and believers is simple: just tell a story.

As long as you believe in and tell stories, stories can have power, and immense power can create miracles.

Ya Yang smiled. "So, you love your mother deeply too."

Since they are both people who love their mother deeply, then there's no need to be jealous. Ya Yang clenched her fists, as if trying to convince herself.

Guiding a lost child is also a mother's responsibility. It seems I'll have one more task to do from now on.

......

As if lying in his mother's arms, Luo An let out a long sigh, and in a daze returned to the warm stable, to the day when he was picked up by Yunina, when he opened his eyes and saw his adoptive mother's busy figure brewing medicine.

If he had learned the language of this world sooner, recovered his health sooner, saved money sooner, and become a knight sooner, his adoptive mother's illness might have been cured.

"I'm sorry," Roan whispered. Only towards Yunina did Roan feel guilt.

"Hmm?" The head that had been hanging down looked up, a strand of red hair falling onto Luo An's cheek, tickling him.

Luo An suddenly sensed something was wrong, opened his eyes, and saw a beautiful face with sleepiness in it, the breath blowing on Luo An's face, carrying a fragrance.

She placed her hands together on Luo An's chest, which emitted a faint glow.

Luo An frowned slightly. Ya Yang seemed unaware that the two were standing too close.

Looking around, they realized they were still in the cave, and all the guards were fast asleep around the campfire.

It would be somewhat awkward to wake Ya Yang at this moment.

To avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings, Luo An tensed up and pinched Ya Yang's cold little finger with his thumb and forefinger.

Taking a deep breath, Luo An exerted a little force, raised his fingers, and slowly moved the hand away.

At this moment, Ya Yang opened her hazy eyes, saw Luo An, and smiled slightly.

"You're awake?"

"Would you like some water? Or some dry food?"

Luo An: "..."

Ya Yang then noticed that Luo An was holding her hand in mid-air. Her face flushed red, and she quickly backed away, saying, "Y-you, I was asleep, don't overthink it!"

The noise startled the guards around him, and they all opened their eyes at the same time, turning to Luo An. They exclaimed with delight, "The boss is awake?!"

"Boss! Have something to eat, some top-quality roasted wolf leg."

As expected of a guard who had served under Captain Jimmy, his judgment was excellent.

Luo An and Ya Yang exchanged an awkward glance. Regardless of whether anyone saw them, they decided to pretend nothing had happened.

Coughing, Luo An propped himself up and barely managed to sit up. Immediately, someone brought something to cushion his back.

After thanking them, Roan looked around. Everyone was still there, and even those who were injured were not seriously hurt, except for Ryan and Jally.

Where did Ryan and Jerry go?

The guards' smiles froze at the mention of the two.

A bad feeling rose in Luo An's heart.

"Ryan is on guard outside." Ya Yang gestured with her chin towards the now-calm snow in the cave. She paused, then continued:

"Jiali, your life is saved."

The guards made way, and Jalley, who was at the back, stepped forward.

"Lord Luo An." Jia Li's right shoulder slumped completely, his hand swaying in the wind, unable to exert any strength.

"Lord Roan, I'm fine," Jalli quickly said. "The nun gave me emergency treatment, but there are some aftereffects. I'll be fine after going back to the priest for further treatment."

Ya Yang pulled Luo An aside and whispered, "I'm sorry, I can't heal Jia Li's injuries, and it would be difficult to heal him in Lorton either."

"It would take at least a miracle [Great Restoration] to fully heal him. There are no clergy of that level in Lorton Town or even in Aisen Territory."

"I'm sorry, it was my lack of piety." Ya Yang lowered her head slightly. "It's all my fault. The appearance of the monster during this mission was also due to my misjudgment. If it weren't for you—"

"It's not your fault."

"Blame me if you must."

Roan walked towards Jalley. "Sorry."

"Lord Roan, please don't say that," Jiali quickly said. "I'm already very satisfied; Lord Roan's approval is enough."

"My uncle is a blacksmith. At worst, I can become a blacksmith in the future. It's safer and more prestigious than being a guard."

"Don't say things like that," Roan interrupted Jally impatiently.

"Become a knight and then die? You think that's honorable? Bullshit! Stand up and fight!"

After a pause, suppressing his anger, Luo An regained his composure.

"I will find a way to cure you."

"In the meantime, don't waste my good intentions; continue practicing your breathing techniques."

Jalley's throat tightened, and he couldn't utter a single word.

He patted Jally on the shoulder, telling him to put the matter of the monsters aside for now and get back to Lorton Town as soon as possible.

The only task left is to liberate Cosette Village.

It's very simple, and doesn't even require the use of a single ounce of force.

All you need to do is throw the headless carcass of the demon wolf into the center of Cosette Village.

The arrogant and warlike bandit knights were so frightened that they dropped their weapons and surrendered.

However, less than half of the villagers of Cosette survived.

Luo An received another act of kindness.

Luo An has collected six acts of kindness.

The fact that Jali received mercy from the tormented villagers after his injury stirred up a surge of anger in even the usually calm Roan.

Even after killing the bandits who were trying to escape, Luo An's anger had not subsided in the slightest.

If it weren't for Jalli and the two priests stopping Roan, he would have definitely killed all the bandit knights.

But now, let Ryan escort Ya Yang back to report on the situation of the monsters, notify Lorton Town, and send guards to escort the bandit knight back.

During this time, all Roan needed to do was keep an eye on the bandit knight and make sure he wasn't killed by the villagers' stones.
