Become a knight starting with synthesized entries.

"What does the stench have to do with miracles?" Roan sniffed the cloak. Although it looked a bit worn, it was undoubtedly clean.

"Besides, how could learning miracles stink?" Luo An smiled.

"Miss Tonery, right?"

Tonery suddenly realized that she had gotten too close to Roan and blurted out her innermost thoughts, almost revealing something.

"Ah, right," Tonelli gave Roan a meaningful look.

"You're right." The witch casually sat down again, pretending to smooth her white robe before looking up and chuckling.

"Hehehe. Lord Luo An, you don't actually mean what I said, do you? Please, I was just joking. Lord Luo An is fragrant."

Luo An narrowed his eyes, sizing up the unscrupulous merchant.

This was the first time Tonerie had taken the initiative to show goodwill to Roan.

How should I put it? It's kind of disgusting.

However, it is also an opportunity.

Luo An pondered for a moment. Now that he had caught Tonerie in a compromising situation, he couldn't let her go so easily!

"I never would have guessed, Miss Tonerie, that you would dare to slander the great gods! You cultist! No! You witch!"

Upon hearing the word "witch," Tonerie's expression immediately darkened.

Pretending not to see, Luo An continued to speak loudly: "As a soldier of Lorton, it is my duty to maintain the harmony of Lorton!"

"Miss Tonery, I'm sorry, although we have a good relationship, as a knight, I cannot condone cultists!"

"Unless..." Luo An smiled.

"Give me some hush money."

Luo An held up two fingers.

"First, give me a few bottles of medicine."

"Second, prepare a robe for me that can completely cover my armor."

All of the above are free.

"Miss Tonery, you don't want your secret to be known, do you?"

Tonerie breathed a sigh of relief. She murmured:

"As expected of you, Luo An. I knew I hadn't misjudged you."

"What are you saying!" Roan pouted. Just as he was about to speak, Tonerie nodded first.

"No problem. I happen to have both the potion and the robe. You can have them."

Luo An was taken aback. He thought Tonery would make up an excuse to stall for time, or simply deny it outright.

Seeing that Tonerie was really going to give things away for free, Roan didn't dare to accept them.

"Don't worry." Tonerie leaned back in her chair, propped her feet up on the table, and treated Roan as if he were one of them.

"I'm just leaving. I need to get rid of some unnecessary stuff; I won't cause you any trouble."

"Leave? Where to?" Roan asked instinctively. None of the alchemists in all of Lorton were as skilled as Toneri.

Tonery is gone, what will Roan drink?

"Of course, we'll go to the big cities." Tonerie rolled her eyes at Roan.

"I can't say for sure, I haven't thought about it yet."

"It has nothing to do with you... but there is one thing too: too many people in Lorton know you, which is causing me a lot of trouble."

I'm tired of Lorton, I need to move on... Anyway, I won't stay near the border. It's not safe. That's all.

Tonerie said, glancing at Roan.

"Luo An, I advise you not to stay at the border. Go to a big city, or somewhere with lots of people."

Roan frowned. Tonery had warned Roan about magical beasts last time; what did she mean by this?

"What do you mean? Is it a prophecy?" Luo An pressed.

"A prophecy?" Tonery smiled. "Do you think it's a prophecy?"

Read more books.

"Luo An, how is what's happening now different from the legendary beginning of the Age of Gods?"

"If there is anything, it's that there are no gods anymore. Anyone can imagine what will happen in the future."

"I'm not a knight, just a traveling merchant who can't even beat a chicken. I'd better leave now; staying here will only lead to my death."

Sensing that the topic was getting a bit heavy, Tonerie suddenly stood up and chuckled.

"Just kidding, Roan, wait a minute, I'll find you a robe."

Toneri walked to the pile of junk and said while rummaging through it, "By the way, thanks to you, many nobles have come to me to buy potions and I've made quite a bit of silver coins. As agreed, I'll give you 20 silver coins and 45 copper coins."

"Do you want silver coins? Or can you just exchange them for potions here—if you still want them, my potions are a bit more powerful than miracles."

Luo An nodded. He couldn't run out of the invigorating potions; he also needed to buy some other potions from Toneri as a backup.

He took out 50 silver coins and placed them on the table. Roan wrote down a list of potions that needed to be brewed, and Tonerie also found a wooden box and placed it on the table.

Upon opening the box, one finds a black hooded cloak adorned with raven feathers along the edges. Upon closer inspection, one can discern patterns on the cloak, though the details are indistinct, the craftsmanship is evident.

"This is something I used to use. It's not a keepsake; maybe it's psychological, but it reduces people's attention to it and doesn't get dusty easily."

Tonerie picked up the cloak and shook it; even in the candlelight, she couldn't see the scattered dust.

"I have a carriage, so I don't need the robe. It'll just get in the way. Here, take it. Want to try it out?"

Luo An put on the cloak, which was a little loose on him, but fit perfectly with the armor.

It can both cover the armor and not hinder Roan.

Surprisingly, great gear.

Luo An felt a little embarrassed to accept such great equipment from Toneri.

Toneri didn't seem to care much and took out a few more bottles of medicine.

"Two level 1 healing potions, one level 1 agility potion, and one stamina potion. These are for you too."

He generously gave Roan a potion worth ten silver coins.

Luo An accepted the potion without ceremony, then glanced at the familiar tent and the plump girl in the white robe and wizard's hat.

Tonerie also looked at Roan.

The atmosphere fell silent for a moment.

Both sides knew that in such a vast kingdom, the future of the world was uncertain.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, we will never see each other again after today.

Luo An wanted to say hello, but didn't know what to say.

"See you again sometime."

As if it were their first meeting, Tonerie bowed slightly in greeting.

Goodbye, guest.

Luo An nodded, turned and walked out of the tent without lingering. He needed to rest immediately to prepare for tomorrow's operation.

........

As dawn broke, Luo An got up very early. He began his daily training.

There are no clearly defined ranks among the apprentice knights.

After becoming an apprentice knight, he was able to breathe normally using the breathing technique.

But powerful apprentice knights can strengthen their bodies through breathing. Leiward belongs to this level.

At the next level, a knight who can unleash "ki" is clearly stronger than a knight who cannot.

At an even higher level is the likes of Leia, who can generate subtle wind pressure simply by breathing.

Luo An is at the stage where he can unleash "qi".

When you use your breathing technique to wield a longsword, there is an extremely light white line about half a finger's width from the tip of the sword, which can leave a mark on wood.

Although he had only recently become an apprentice knight, Roan felt that he would be able to fully master the "sword aura" stage within a few days.

Soon I will be able to deflect arrows with just my breath, just like Leia.

The next level up is the true knight, possessing the title of Black Iron Knight.
