Become a knight starting with synthesized entries.

For the next ten days, Roan patrolled between Cosette Village, Riverview Village, and Riverwood Village, preventing further incidents in the villages and buying herbs from the villagers as well. He also completed Tonery's task list.

Ten days later, a guard finally took over the village, and the team was finally able to return to Lorton.

After a long journey, everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing a corner of Lorton town. Smiles appeared on their faces.

I can finally go home.

All that's required is to accept some minor tasks and some scrutiny.

Back at the barracks, to everyone's surprise, there were people already waiting for the troops to arrive.

A bald old man, wearing a monocle, stood with his hands behind his back. The tall guard captain, Jimmy, bowed deeply in front of the old man, as if afraid of being a head taller than him.

"The hero is back!" Jimmy ran quickly towards Roan. "Well done, no wonder you're Reeves' squire."

Jimmy approached Roan and lowered his voice. "That's the former Lord of Lorton, and also the mayor of Lorton Town, Lord Hagrid Lorton, a truly important figure!"

"Loan, Lord Hagrid is here to see you. Lord Loan, don't forget your little brother Jimmy."

After saying that, Jimmy patted Roan on the shoulder, walked past Roan, and called to the guards behind him.

"This is none of your business. Come over here and collect your money!"

The guards tactfully left the camp and thoughtfully closed the door behind them.

Roan approached Mayor Hagrid, sizing up the old man. His face was resolute, his hair and beard meticulously combed, and his posture upright. He was an old knight.

With just a glance at the old man, Roan pondered the etiquette of nobles in his mind, then bowed slightly in greeting. "Hello, Mayor Hagrid."

Hagrid's gaze swept over Roan, and he nodded in satisfaction.

"I heard a long time ago that Levi had taken on a new squire. I should have met you sooner, but I never had the chance."

Even so, your name still echoes in my ears from time to time.

"Roan Yunina, Roan Yunina...you're Yunina's adopted son?!"

Luo An was taken aback. "Sir, do you know my adoptive mother?"

"She's a good person, her sudden illness... I'm so sorry." Hagrid's voice softened considerably.

When his adoptive mother was mentioned, Roan's tone softened considerably. "Lord Hagrid, it's not your fault."

"Life is tough in this era, and Yunina's adoptive mother never demanded that anyone give us unconditional charity."

This wasn't just polite talk; Hagrid knew he was Yunina's adopted son, and he also knew that Roan would come into contact with the lord's beloved horse.

Horse breeding has always been a technical skill.

Allowing a random kid to access the lord's valuable assets is inherently risky.

Hagrid could have easily kicked Roan out of the castle with just a word.

Hagrid didn't do that, and since Roan knew Yunina's name, he had no right to blame him.

Hagrid smiled. He already had a good impression of Roan, and after hearing what Roan said, he nodded repeatedly.

"Luo An, I understand why so many people mention your name. You're a wonderful surprise."

"I thought you would bring even more surprises."

"I never expected you to give me such a big surprise," Hagrid said quietly.

"Luo An, you've seen the magical beast. What kind of monster was it?"

"Yes." Roan thought to himself that Hagrid looked rather old-fashioned and serious, but his words were quite humorous.

"It was a wolf three or four times larger than an ordinary wolf. It was also covered in black mist, and seemed capable of using combat techniques?"

"That's not surprising. Our breathing technique is essentially a method of learning from the outside world to improve ourselves."

"Your wolf breathing technique is the same as the lion breathing technique of the Lionheart family."

No wonder, in the battles against the demon wolves and Glogg,

Hagrid paused before continuing.

"No matter how much we study, we are still imitating Warcraft. Even the lowest level of Warcraft."

"That's why, Roan, your victory and your courage have surprised me."

"Before I met you, I kept wondering what kind of person could be so fearless as to not even fear magical beasts."

"Now I understand. Because you are a knight."

"Ahem." Luo An couldn't help but cough.

"I'm sorry, Mayor, I'm not actually as brave as you say." Roan really didn't want to be honest, but chivalry required him to be.

If we don't do that, Yunina will get angry.

Hagrid waved his hand. "Roan, being too humble is just arrogance."

Luo An twitched the corner of his mouth. He couldn't say that he had played games, so his acceptance of things like Warcraft and Dire Wolves was slightly higher than in this world.

It's even less likely that he'll say it now.

Hagrid, assuming Roan's agreement, nodded in satisfaction. He gestured for Roan to follow, and they talked as they walked.

"To be honest, I used to be a knight, though not even under my own name."

"Because of my noble status, I possess resources you can't even imagine, yet I only barely managed to become a novice knight." Hagrid couldn't help but sigh as he recalled those days.

"I don't know if it was luck or not, but there were no magical beasts in my time. Those monsters were like dragons and gods to me, ancient legends."

"I never expected this. Before I die, I will witness another legend unfold."

The two turned past the armory and went to its depths, where there was a magnificent but dusty door that even Captain Jimmy didn't have the key to.

The guards all say that there's treasure hidden behind this door; of course, it could also be Captain Jimmy's embezzled stash of money.

Now Roan knew that it was the lord's armory.

Hagrid took out his key and clicked open the door.

"Thinking about it carefully, perhaps the dragons and gods aren't just a story?"

"I once dreamed of becoming a noble knight, fighting with honor on my shoulders, traversing lands untrodden by those who came before, witnessing and becoming one of the legends of the gods, and finally transforming into a miracle praised by the people of the world."

Hagrid muttered to himself as he pushed open the door.

"To this end, I forged armor and a sword, and diligently studied breathing techniques."

"Unfortunately, I've grown old. I've forgotten how to wield a sword, and my heart can no longer withstand the pumping of my breathing techniques."

"My armor was also covered in dust, gathering dust in the corner."

I have grown old, but they haven't.

crunch--

The door opened, and before Roan stood a knight's armor, weathered by time and covered in dust, yet its brilliance could not be concealed.

Sunlight streamed in through the skylight high up, illuminating the armor and making the whole room seem to light up.

Hagrid stretched out his wrinkled hand and stroked the smooth armor as if caressing a lover.

"Now, she's yours."

"This—" Roan never expected that Hagrid would give him a suit of armor.

This armor, gleaming with silver light, must have been made with a large amount of refined iron. A piece of armor the size of a palm is probably more valuable than the axe at Luo An's waist.

This reward is truly invaluable.

Hagrid smiled slyly. "Kid, put it on first. Maybe it's not right for you."

"No, no." Roan took a step back, knowing that once he put on the armor, it would be his own.

"Mayor, I—"

Hagrid interrupted Roan. "Listen to me, child, put it on. It's Yunina's wish."
