Become a knight starting with synthesized entries.

"Be careful, Roan, the warm-up is over."

Leia's greatsword plunged into the ground, bending like a bow, and its aura surged accordingly.

"A knight is one who seizes what belongs to him, and he should give his all even when facing someone weaker than himself."

As Leia's aura surged, the greatsword's chains slipped off inch by inch, leaving dents in the ground.

This shows just how heavy the iron chain was.

How fast will Leia be after shedding all her weight?

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

[Entry: Calling upon the beast of love at the center of the world, triggered.]

[Current improvement: Weak]

[Attribute Upgrade: Strength.]

[Improve attribute: Learning ability.]

Immediately afterwards, [Beast Slayer] was also triggered.

With the two keywords triggered, Luo An's aura surged, subtly even surpassing Leia's.

Luo An's eyes narrowed slightly. A golden light flashed before his eyes once more.

The [Monkey Typewriter] has also been triggered and is absorbing knowledge of the [Lion Breathing Technique] through Roan's gaze.

At the same time, Roan gained a more accurate understanding of the trainee knight.

With three bonus stats, even a novice knight is not an invincible opponent.

After a moment of contemplation, Leia suddenly vanished from sight.

Driven purely by instinct, Luo An instantly raised his longsword and slashed at his right hand.

clang!

Two training swords collided, sparks flying.

"Good reaction!" Leia was slightly surprised.

As expected of someone capable of defeating magical beasts, Leia couldn't find anyone stronger than Roan among the apprentice knights.

But in the end, he was just an apprentice knight.

Leia suddenly unleashed her power, increasing dramatically in force. Roan, unable to withstand the attack, immediately deflected his longsword to deflect the force, preventing the training equipment from being directly smashed and crushed.

Looking up at Leia, they both saw the defiant look in each other's eyes.

Although it was just training, the only difference between it and a real fight was that no blood was drawn.

"Heh, Roan, not bad." Leia smiled easily, her breathing perfectly even.

For Leia, fighting Roan was merely an after-dinner snack.

Luo An nodded. He could clearly feel himself improving rapidly, and he could vaguely sense the limits that he hadn't been able to reach for many days.

"Let's go again," Luo An offered. Leia was a rare sparring partner.

"Heh." Leia's eyes narrowed slightly; she naturally wouldn't stop.

........

In the blink of an eye, a month has passed.

Every day, Luo An would board the Lionheart family's carriage and head to the training ground to fight against Leia.

At first, Roan could only exchange 20 blows with Leia, and that was with Leia only using breathing techniques and not using any combat skills.

After twenty moves, Luo An was exhausted. Leia won without any surprise.

Leia wasn't in a hurry. After the victory, all she needed was for Luo An to massage her back and sore arms, or perhaps ask him to make her a cup of tea.

Either she asks Luo An to accompany her for afternoon tea.

That's it.

Ten days later, Luo An was able to last for 30 moves.

Fifteen days later, there were 40 moves.

Fifteen days later, Leia became somewhat anxious and suddenly increased the intensity of her breathing technique.

Her sword began to carry a faint gust of wind.

Even without touching Luo An, the sword wind alone was enough to knock Luo An's longsword away.

This isn't a breathing technique. It's just a skill that any apprentice knight with sufficiently powerful breathing can use.

Twenty days later, Leia finally lost control and subconsciously used her combat technique, [Lion Slash].

The terrifying power of the Lion Slash allowed him to cut several large trees in half with just a training longsword.

Luo An was hit by the aftershock and suffered a considerable injury.

Fortunately, he was saved by the church priest using the miracle spell [Restore], and after resting for two days, he continued the battle.

Leia felt deeply apologetic and never used her combat skills again.

Instead, the complete lion breathing technique was adopted.

after....

Luo An never won again.

In just thirty days, Luo An's breathing techniques improved at an increasingly rapid pace.

Finally, the 24-hour limit was broken, and the breathing method was used continuously for 26 hours.

This also means that Roan is only a little bit away from becoming a trainee knight.

However, the training has been temporarily suspended.

The monthly Lionheart family banquet was held once again.

This banquet was held very close to the selection of the Lionheart family's heir, and the attendees included not only nobles from Lorton Town but also members of the Lionheart family.

It was still dark.

The Lionheart family's carriage had already stopped at Lorton Castle.

Luo An boarded the carriage and stroked the gleaming silver armor.

Leia took the gathering very seriously and specially hired a professional craftsman to repair Luo An's silver armor.

"You are my henchman, and you represent me. I can never lose to anyone else."

Leia gave instructions and personally taught Roan the Lionheart family's etiquette.

"If anyone asks, just say you are from the Lionheart family, specifically ...

"You must never say he's a thug or a guest."

"Do you know?" Leia, unusually, stopped smiling and gave a serious warning.

Luo An had no choice but to accept the money and do the job, and he vowed to keep this in mind.

Leia then smiled, patted Roan's breastplate, and carefully examined Roan.

"Very good. He's really handsome."

Luo An also felt that he was indeed much more handsome.

I just felt that Leia's eyes were a bit strange.

It looks like they're looking at a small cake.

However, once he pulls off this job, Roan will receive a full 50 silver coins.

Although he earned some silver coins from training with Leia, together with his own salary and Leia's tips, he barely managed to scrape together enough money to make the relic.

However, in order to maintain his energy for daily training, Roan spent a lot of money on medicine and even owed Tonerie a small amount of money.

Even though it was only ten silver coins, she was still very dissatisfied.

Luo An must get his hands on those fifty silver coins.

"Lord Luo An."

"Have we arrived?" Luo An's thoughts were pulled back to reality.

"No, please wait a moment," the coachman said apologetically. "There are too many carriages heading to Lionheart Manor, and they've blocked the road."

Luo An had arrived at the gates of Lionheart Manor, but there was still a distance between Lionheart Manor and Lionheart Residence, which was blocked by luxurious carriages.

"I never expected to experience a carriage ride again," Luo An exclaimed.

"It's so lively!"

Lionheart House is even more bustling than the outside world.

The nobles smiled and whispered among themselves, clearly looking forward to Miss Leia's appearance as the star of the gathering.

Those excellent and proud knights came to Lorton Town one after another.

They came to seize this flower from the high mountains.

Who will ultimately capture Miss Leia?

Whose family will climb up to the Lionheart family, soar to the sky, leave this small town of Lorton, and go to the legendary big city?

As the nobles were talking, they suddenly heard a commotion.

"It's Pétain Silverser, the young master of the Silverser family!"

"Young Master Pétain Silvers has been serving in the army for a long time and has been staying on the front lines. He just returned and immediately declared that he would win Miss Leia over. He seems quite confident."

When Pétain was mentioned, the noble ladies blushed slightly.

"Even Miss Leia would be attracted to Young Master Beidan. He's a powerful and domineering man."
