Become a knight starting with synthesized entries.

Luo An was overjoyed; the most valuable item now was this prestigious silver armor.

It's no exaggeration to say that if he's not careful, Roan could go bankrupt and indebted because of the Silver Armor, ending up on the same dead end as the bandit knight.

Leia really did Luo An a big favor.

"Thank you so much!"

Leia didn't expect Roan to react so strongly.

It's just giving away a ring, nothing special.

But being genuinely thanked always makes people feel good.

Especially after spending a long time in aristocratic circles, one becomes able to discern who is lying, and thus better understands the value of "sincerity."

This will make them happier.

Léa pursed her lips slightly.

"Hehe, it's nothing, we're friends. Have fun. I'll let you know about the next banquet. It'll still be five silver coins."

After saying that, Leia waved her hand.

The female knights in the distance had been waiting for a long time and couldn't wait to surround Leia.

"Miss Leia, your dress is really beautiful today."

Leia nodded gracefully, even though she knew her "noble friend" wasn't being entirely honest.

"You look beautiful today too. Those earrings, are they from the Silver Serpent family? Their jewelry is always wonderful, and they match your clothes perfectly."

"Thank you! I never expected Miss Leia to notice."

"Miss Leia, please take a look for me too!" The noble ladies surrounded Leia, vying to show off their carefully selected clothes.

With just one sentence, L'Oréal became the center of attention.

This feeling of being in control of everything, of looking down on everyone, gave Leia a greater sense of security.

She didn't dislike having tea parties with aristocratic ladies.

Holding these lovely girls in her hands and gently kneading them, she could clearly feel the vibrant movement of these beautiful things through her palms, and she was captivated by this feeling, which was what Leah loved most.

But now, Leia is feeling a little bored.

She found a nice new toy.

Leia's gaze swept past the girls, searching for Luo An's figure. Finally, she saw Luo An leaving with a wine bottle outside the banquet hall, and a smile appeared on her face.

"Mr. Luo An, do you like to drink?"

"Next time I'll have to prepare some good wine."

"Achoo!" Roan sneezed. He rubbed his nose hard.

"That's impossible. Winter is almost over, and I'm still sneezing. Could it be a spring chill?"

If an apprentice knight can catch a cold, it must mean his training is incomplete.

Luo An didn't care about his reputation, but it would be troublesome if Levi knew he had a cold.

"Or is there some hidden illness?"

"Looks like I'll have to go find Tonerie and buy some warming potions."

As he was thinking, Luo An arrived at the garden, where a carriage quickly stopped in front of him.

"Lord Roan. I am the coachman of the Lionheart family. Miss Leia instructed me to take you back."

Luo An thought to himself that while Lai Ya was arrogant, she was also quite thoughtful.

"This is troublesome," Luo An climbed onto the carriage and carefully placed the wine he had brought from the Lionheart family, but the carriage did not start moving immediately.

"Mr. Luo An, where are you going?"

"Hmm—" Luo An patted his money bag. He had earned 40 silver coins on this trip, but he was still 10 silver coins short of the miscellaneous materials on the list.

The market street is closed.

Even with a discerning eye, selecting materials is quite troublesome.

Then let's go buy some gems.

"Could you please take me to the jewelry shop?" Roan called out.

"Yes. Lord Roan, I recommend that you buy gems from the gem shop owned by the Silver Serpent family. They control 99% of the gem sales in Loton City."

Luo An doesn't know much about gem identification either; it seems he'll have to buy a few books on gem identification to study.

Let's hear the driver's opinion first.

"Thank you for your help."

"Yes, Lord Roan."

The territory of Aisen is rich in natural resources.

The most profitable industry is undoubtedly the gemstone industry.

It is said that the gems of the Aisen Territory are formed from the tears of the "Great Mother" Ciel.

They have unique effects.

They can store miracles.

And it can only store the miracles of [Great Mother] Ciel.

By telling the story of the miracle to the stone, over a long period of time, even the stone was moved by the "Great Mother" and became part of the miracle.

This is proof of the great mother's loving kindness.

By recounting a story or doing something, one can trigger a miracle stored in the stone, enabling ordinary clergy and even unbelievers to use the power of miracles.

The best stones to store miracles are gemstones.

Some of these gems are even said to store miracles. One such gem is known as a mother's tears.

Luo An, with his discerning eye, naturally wanted an even better [Mother's Tears]. To forge the strongest relic.

After walking around for a while, Luo An, who really didn't understand gems, slunk out of Gem Street.

Upon seeing the carriage, Luo An felt somewhat embarrassed.

It's so late, I can only pick up Mr. Levi on my way home and give him the wine.

We'll talk about the rest tomorrow.

Having made up his mind, he went to the tavern. Sure enough, Levi was still there, playing cards with William.

Reeves was quite surprised to see Roan.

"So soon? I sent you to the banquet, and all you did was eat? That's Leia, the heiress of the Lionheart family!!"

Luo An smiled sheepishly and handed over the Lionheart Rice Wine.

Levi was both annoyed and amused. For now, he could only gesture for Roan to sit down and ask William to get another glass of wine so he could try the Lionheart family's brew.

Luo An also took the opportunity to report on the conflict with the Fire Sword family.

Levi's didn't take it too seriously.

Knowing that Roan was Reeves's squire, the Fire Sword family wouldn't be foolish enough to use that as an excuse to cause trouble for Roan.

Levi looked at Roan with a worried and pitying gaze.

"Roan, you always refer to yourself as Reeves's squire. Have you ever thought about acting in your own name, making your name, Roan Yunina, resound throughout Lorton, throughout the entire Aisen Territory, and throughout the whole kingdom?"

Luo An hadn't thought of that.

He wanted to be a knight, and he didn't care about fame.

"That's what I'm worried about, Roan."

Levi poured a glass of wine and handed it to Roan. "Roan, you want to fulfill Yunina's wish and become a knight."

"But what about yourself? What do you desire? To be honest, even I don't know."

"Roan, as a knight, it is difficult to follow your own path, but if you want to go further on the path of knighthood without falling, a firm goal and a strong heart are equally important."

"A goal will keep you from getting lost, and your inner drive will keep you going."

"You have an amazingly strong heart."

"But Roan, is your goal simply to become the knight in Yunina's eyes?"

The goal... Having lived two lives, Luo An's previous life wasn't perfect, but he had no regrets either.

Aside from becoming Yunina's knight, Roan didn't really have many goals. He was already dressed well enough and eating well enough.

The guys around me are a nuisance, but they're also pretty good.

As Roan got closer to fulfilling his wish to become Yunina's knight, he did indeed feel lost.

"Stupid kid." Levi tapped Roan on the head.

"A goal isn't something empty; it can be a desire—becoming the strongest knight, seeking revenge, becoming a superior person, or even killing people. Of course, it's best not to think like that, especially you, Roan."

Levi smiled.

"But none of that matters to you."

"In that case, I will give you a goal. I believe this is also your foster mother's wish."

"Luo An".

Go and love.
