Become a knight starting with synthesized entries.

After the trip, he earned another 3 silver coins, bringing his total to nearly 30 silver coins, far exceeding Luo An's expectations.

"Hehe. Mr. Luo An, just have fun." Leia took out a silver coin and flicked it into Luo An's arms.

Luo An hurriedly accepted the money; it was more silver coins. He could earn silver coins by attending banquets, drinking wine, and even walking.

You can even earn silver coins by talking to pretty girls.

The silver coins he earned in a day were almost equivalent to half a year's salary for Luo An.

Luo An couldn't help but grin.

Oh my God, how can there be such a beautiful and generous woman?

It was a great honor for Luo An to know Leia.

Luo An almost couldn't resist kissing Leia's fair and soft hand and swearing allegiance to her.

"Miss Leia, please feel free to call me if you need anything." Luo An patted his chest.

"We are friends."

"Oh? Really?" Leia chuckled, then shook her head. "I have a little trouble that I need Mr. Roan's help with, and only Mr. Roan can help me."

Luo An immediately said, "Go ahead and speak."

Luo An knew all along that Leia needed his help.

But since they've already given out silver coins, any "no" from Luo An would be considered disrespectful to the silver coins.

At that moment, a blond knight came to Leia's side, placed his hand on his chest, and performed a standard knightly salute.

"Miss Leia, what can I do for you? I, Oran Firesword, am willing to serve you."

After bowing to Leia, Oran seemed to notice Ryan and Roan, and bowed to them again.

"Greetings, Ryan. Greetings, Sir Reeves's squire."

"Orlan, watch your words and actions," Ryan said, clearly displeased.

"Lord Roan is not standing here solely because of the reputation of Knight Levi. Please address Lord Roan again."

Oran smiled slightly. "Ryan, please show me respect. You've lost to me three times. As the loser, you should have reverence for the winner."

"If this were on the battlefield, it would be equivalent to me pardoning you three times."

"That's because I didn't use a miracle!" Ryan retorted angrily. "As a fellow apprentice knight, do you think I'd really be afraid of you?"

"Alright." Leia patted her younger brother Ryan on the shoulder.

"As a knight of the church, do not waste your miracles on pointless battles."

"Oran, if you're not satisfied, you can challenge me to a duel," Leia said calmly.

Oran's smile froze slightly, then he smiled again. "Miss Leia, as a knight, I will not fight with a lady."

"I'm only interested in the man beside you—the black-haired knight, Reeves's squire."

"Roan Yunina." Roan was an invited guest, and Leia had paid for the banquet, so she should maintain harmony at the event.

Just call me Luo An.

"Roan Yunina, a woman's name, Miss Leia, you're choosing this pretty boy as your husband instead of a real knight?" Oran shrugged dramatically.

"Roan Yunina, do you dare to duel me? I'll stake my honor on standing shoulder to shoulder with Miss Leia!"

"No, buddy," Roan said, finding it amusing.

"If you want to pursue Leia, then go for it. Why are you fighting me?"

Unexpectedly, Leia paused for a moment, then pulled Luo An aside.

"Mr. Luo An, I'm sorry to have interrupted your enjoyment."

"The little trouble I was referring to was those guys," Leia sighed.

"Orlando and those Odo guys are always hanging around me, and their family is on good terms with the Lionheart family. I don't want to refuse them."

"Could you please ask them to be quiet?"

So that's all it was about.

Luo An breathed a sigh of relief.

It's simple. After all, Roan has the authority to mobilize the guards in Lorton Town. If he doesn't like someone, he can just beat them up in some dark corner at night.

We will absolutely not reveal any clues.

Leia froze for a moment. Her brown eyes widened in disbelief.

As a knight, one should resolve this in a knightly manner; what kind of method is using a sack?

"No, it's just about dueling with them," Leia explained patiently.

"As a reward, how about I give you ten silver coins for every win you make?"

Luo An breathed a long sigh of relief; that made things much easier.

"Well—thank you for your help these past few days." Leia breathed a long sigh of relief. Luckily, Roan was also an idiot. He could actually believe something like that.

Luo An took a deep breath—ten silver coins, it was worth his serious consideration.

Back in the banquet hall, Leia intentionally or unintentionally moved closer to Roan, making Oran's expression even more unpleasant.

"Roan, are you running away? As a knight, are you afraid to even fight?"

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency Oran," Roan said apologetically.

"I've kept you waiting, let's have a duel."

Oran was taken aback, then gave a cold laugh. "You dare agree? Has no one told you that I'm the number one apprentice knight in the Lorton Knights rankings!"

Knight rankings? What's that? Roan had never heard of it before; it's probably a game of knights played by nobles.

"Then, please go to the dueling arena." Leia smiled; she also wanted to see what kind of strength Roan, who could defeat a magical beast, possessed.

"No need." Oran gritted his teeth. He wanted more flies to see that Leia was his prey. He would defeat Levi's squires.

"Right here! Friends! Be our witness!"

"The Fire Sword Family, Oran! Challenges a duel to the Knight Squire Levi's!"

The shouts drew the attention of all the guests present. Upon hearing Oran's name, they all turned their gazes toward the tall, handsome knight in the center of the room.

"Another duel in Oran?! Who is it this time? Mr. Roan, a squire of Levi's."

"Mr. Oran is number one on the knight rankings. What number is Mr. Roan again?"

"Mr. Luo An... did not place."

The nobles then noticed that Roan was not on the list of knights.

"What, Mr. Roan, so weak after all." The nobles were somewhat disappointed. As a knight squire of Levi's, he hadn't even made it onto the knight rankings.

Oran, on the other hand, could easily defeat Ryan, who was ranked ninth on the knight list.

It seems this duel isn't going to be very interesting.

The discussions outside the arena reached Luo An's ears, but he paid no attention to them. He removed his armor, picked up his training wooden sword again, and felt a sense of ease and comfort.

"It's still a bit difficult for an apprentice knight to wear armor. He needs to improve his strength as soon as possible to match this armor."

As for the duel.

broken.

Luo An suddenly remembered that Levi's instructions were to not let anyone get hurt.

Defeating Oran isn't difficult, but avoiding injury is impossible.

While Roan was trying to come up with a solution, Oran had already gripped his longsword and was taking a deep breath.

"Mr. Roan, I practice the Breath of the Sword. When I wield a longsword, I am far stronger than the average knight."

"Don't lose too badly."

As he spoke, Oran had already gripped his longsword, secretly gathering power for his [Rapid Thrust] technique.

He was about to defeat Luo An in one blow, making Luo An lose face completely in front of so many people.

As a result, it also caused Levi's to lose face.

In the blink of an eye, Oran charged in front of Roan and thrust his longsword fiercely toward Roan's neck.

The sword tip was still half an inch from Roan's neck. Just imagining Roan's miserable state made Oran grin involuntarily.

However, in front of Oran, a fist rapidly enlarged.

Oran tried to dodge, but couldn't avoid it at all. He was punched hard in the chin and flew backward into the crowd.
