Keep attacking girls and try not to be killed by them

Perhaps it is because the knights of the regular knightly orders are too aloof, and people prefer the lone wolf knights who are approachable and serve the people.

In addition, the reasons why each lone wolf knight quit the Knights Templar are also a topic that people like to discuss. Everyone always wonders whether the Knights Templar and the Church are hiding some unspeakable secrets behind their glamorous appearance - otherwise, why are they always so rich?

Back to the topic, even if Oleg didn't want to listen, the sound of everyone's discussion continued to reach his ears.

"I heard that this Frost Knight's armor is made from materials from the fourth-tier monster, the Frost Wolf! He can use his magic to create 'Ice Crystal Armor', which is the Frost Wolf's signature skill!"

"Right, right, right! I've also heard that the greatsword he wields can create a small 'Ice Field' with one strike! I saw in a book that the Frost Wolf can use this skill!"

"..."

A fourth-level monster, not to mention the young reward hunters who were discussing it, even Oleg himself rarely formed a team to challenge it.

However, this Frost Knight Stan seems to have the ability to defeat high-level monsters alone.

——(It really is free to spread rumors! If this continues, this Frost Knight will be praised to the sky~)

Oleg shook his head and prepared to go upstairs to continue reviewing documents in disappointment, but at this moment, a new rumor instantly made the hall of the Task Union boil.

"Everyone, come and see! The Frost Knight has come to our Sunny Town!"

9.147 - A distinguished guest arrives

"Tsk! Why is this guy still haunting us?!"

Branch Chief Oleg complained in disgust, then sneered at the reward hunters who were rushing out of the mission union hall impatiently.

——(He's just a lone wolf knight, what's so special about him that makes everyone flock to him?)

Branch Chief Oleg really became increasingly disgusted with this boastful guy who had gained fame before he even arrived.

However, no matter how much he hated it, Branch Minister Oleg finally followed the crowd to the town gate.

He wanted to see with his own eyes how powerful this famous guy who suddenly appeared from nowhere was.

·

Following the crowd, Branch Minister Oleg soon arrived at the gate on the northwest side of Sanni Town. This place is not only the only way to the Sangbei Desert, but also carries many memories of Branch Minister Oleg.

Not long after, the tall branch minister Oleg saw an equally tall armored knight across the crowd. The moment he saw this guy, Minister Oleg's previous disgust disappeared instantly.

·

It turns out that the "Frost Knight" that everyone is talking about is not just a reputation, but is actually capable.

·

What instantly changed Branch Minister Oleg's mind was not the Frost Knight's appearance, but his undeniable aura.

When this guy appeared at the town gate, for a moment, Branch Chief Oleg thought that a ferocious monster was attacking.

——(Oh my god… How many battles did he have to go through to have this kind of aura…?)

Not only Branch Chief Oleg was frightened by the ferocious aura, but also the people around him. Everyone consciously moved out of the way, leaving a wide path for the Frost Armor Knight. Among the crowd, no one dared to step forward and talk to him.

Then, in this almost abnormal silence, under the gaze of everyone, the Frost Armor Knight walked into Sunny Town as if no one was around, as if he was already very used to being watched like this.

·

After the Frost Armor Knight walked away, many people suddenly remembered that they could breathe and began to gasp for air. Although Branch Chief Oleg's reaction was not so exaggerated, he did have a thin layer of cold sweat on his forehead.

Now, Branch Minister Oleg could understand why this guy could be rumored to have arrived before he actually did. Such an unignorable presence would definitely cause discussion wherever he went.

Now there is only one question left in Branch Chief Oleg's mind, that is, who is this "Frost Knight Stan" and who is this big shot?

·

·

Returning to the Task Union branch, Branch Chief Oleg was surprised to find that his own Task Union was overcrowded today.

And what was very strange was that most people were just gathering outside the union instead of going in, standing on tiptoe to look inside.

——(Uh, could it be…)

Branch Chief Oleg pushed through the crowd and walked into the mission union hall. Sure enough, the Frost Armor Knight had arrived!

"Branch Head! This knight wants to see you!"

As soon as the front desk staff saw Branch Minister Oleg coming, they immediately hugged him as if they had found a savior.

Branch Chief Oleg pushed the boy away awkwardly, then took a deep breath and walked towards the Frost Armor Knight.

"Ahem, I'm Oleg, the branch chief here. What can I do for you?"

Branch Chief Oleg mustered all his courage to make his opening remarks sound calm.

No matter what, he didn't want to lose face in front of his subordinates and the people in Sunny Town.

"My name is Stan, and I'd like to take on some commissions. Can we discuss the details upstairs?"

The Frost Knight's voice was so deep and powerful that Branch Chief Oleg felt as if his entire body was vibrating along with it.

However, the content of his words was quite easy-going, which made Branch Chief Oleg feel a little less nervous.

In addition, Branch Minister Oleg was also surprised by the other party's maturity and experience, as he knew right away that his office was upstairs.

"No problem, come up with me."

Branch Chief Oleg calmed himself down and went up the stairs first, thinking that if he did so, he would not be under so much pressure later.

However, the Frost Armor Knight following behind him immediately made him realize that he was naive.

Every step the Frostmail Knight, wearing heavy armor, took on the stairs caused considerable shaking, and at one point even made Branch Minister Oleg think that the stairs could not bear the weight and were about to collapse.

Fortunately, this old task union building finally withstood the pressure, allowing Branch Minister Oleg to receive the Frost Knight alone in his office.

Without the pressure brought by the gazes of others, the burden on Branch Chief Oleg's heart was immediately lightened a lot. Even if he lost face next, it didn't matter.

"Stan... Sir, first of all, I welcome you on behalf of Sunnytown. Then... there's no one else here. If you have anything to say, please feel free to tell me."

Branch Chief Oleg had no idea what the other party was thinking, but he was ready to accept it.

"Don't be so nervous, Branch Chief. I just wanted to ask if you have any extremely difficult, unadvertised 'special commissions'?"

As it turned out, what the Frost Knight wanted to say was not at all what Branch Chief Oleg had expected. This guy really came here to accept a commission.

"Ah, a special request, huh? Things have been pretty peaceful lately, so I haven't received any such requests..."

Branch Chief Oleg was stunned for a few seconds before quickly answering, but he was no longer as nervous as he was at the beginning.

The so-called special commissions refer to those that are more dangerous than ordinary commissions. In order to prevent some reward hunters from overestimating their abilities and to reduce unnecessary casualties, the Quest Guild often does not post these high-difficulty commissions on the bulletin board.

The Southern Mine Commission that the Feiqi Family had previously issued to the Yanji City Mission Union should have been classified as a "special commission," but it was only posted to the public due to pressure from the Feiqi Family.

However, according to the orthodox rules of the Task Union, special commissions should actually be formally confirmed by each branch leader, and then the appropriate person or team should be directly contacted in the name of the Task Union, and asked to complete the commission in person.

The Frost Armor Knight at the moment was obviously someone who had enough strength to complete special commissions. Branch Chief Oleg should be secretly happy that such a strong man would come to him and take on dangerous commissions.

"Okay, I'll be staying at the hotel across from your guild these days. If there's a 'special request', just leave a note at the hotel counter and I'll come find you."

The Frost Knight pointed to the inn across from the window, and Branch Chief Oleg quickly said that he remembered it.

For some reason, many golden little foxes were pasted on the windows of this hotel, which left a deep impression on Branch Minister Oleg.

[Note: For details about the golden little fox, please refer to chapter "4.28 - Emilia's "Weakness"]

After explaining the special commission, the Frost Armor Knight turned and looked at the door, as if he was ready to leave.

But before leaving, he turned back and asked Branch Chief Oleg another question: "By the way, Branch Chief, have there been any snake infestations in Sunny Town recently... or have there been any snake-like monsters?"

9.148 - A "strange" reunion

"Snake pest? Snake monster?"

Branch Chief Oleg scratched his hair, not having any impression of either of the two things the Frost Armor Knight said.

In Sunny Town, which is peaceful most of the time, there are usually only some ordinary small monster disasters, such as the first-level "Knife Goblin" and "Baby Tusk Pig" monsters.

To deal with a monster of this level, a team of second-level combat professionals is enough, and it is completely unqualified to be handled as a special commission.

As for snake-type monsters, although there are low-level ones, once a snake-type monster appears near Sunny Town, it is usually a second-level or above species, which is very difficult to deal with. Therefore, once it appears, it is basically a big deal.

When Oleg thought back to the past, the one thing he remembered most vividly about snakes was the Snake Demon Splander incident some time ago.

·

Oleg's former good teammate and later nemesis: the snake demon Spland, had just taught Oleg a profound lesson in Sunny Town not long ago.

Whenever Oleg thinks of the battle at that time, the wounds that still remain on his body still ache slightly.

The snake demon Splander had been entangled with Oleg for decades for the magic sword "Magic Secret Sword Flame Horse", but in the end he was killed by his own obsession.

Oleg had no regrets about his old friend's death. After all, Spland had almost gone insane and was beyond redemption.

What Oleg really regretted was that the talent that emerged in that battle, the young Banning, was unable to stay in Sunny Town and become his right-hand man.

·

"Chief Oleg, do you have any ideas?"

The voice of Frost Knight Stan brought Oleg back to reality from his memories. He quickly replied that as far as he knew, there should be no snake-type monster disasters in Sunny Town recently.

"Okay, then if you have any relevant information, remember to contact me."

The Frost Armor Knight waved his hand and strode towards the door.

Listening to the clanging sound of the big guy's armor, Branch Minister Oleg immediately remembered the old stairs that had just experienced a round of extreme challenges.

If the stairs collapsed due to the weight, their Sunny Town Task Union branch would become notorious.

"Well...um...Mr. Stan, if you don't mind, could you jump...jump directly from the window of this room? With your strength, climbing two floors shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Oleg didn't know where he got the courage to say such words. For the reputation of the Task Union, he really gave it his all at this moment.

Fortunately, the Frost Armor Knight had no objection to this outrageous request. He nodded, opened the window with a sharp movement, turned over and jumped out.

Seeing this, Oleg hurried to the window, and then saw that the Frost Armor Knight had landed on the ground as light as a swallow and walked away quickly as if nothing had happened.

As for the onlookers around, they were all still in a state of confusion. They didn't understand why the Frost Knight suddenly jumped out from the second floor of the Quest Guild Branch. Could it be that a battle had taken place inside?

—(Frost Knight Stan...what a strange yet powerful man.)

Oleg closed the window with lingering fear. Although the Frost Knight had left, the nervous feeling still remained in Oleg's heart.

How long had it been since I last dealt with such a powerful person? Oleg asked himself in his heart.

Although the Frost Knight hadn't done anything overbearing, he had already made the people around him tremble with fear. If he really got angry, the scene would be unimaginable.

Looking at his still slightly trembling hands, Oleg felt that he was really old.

At the same time, Oleg miraculously thought of Banning, because to him, Banning symbolized "hope" with infinite possibilities.

——(If it were that kid Banning... maybe if he grew up another twenty or thirty years, he could become a combat professional as outstanding as this Frost Knight...)

——(Alas, I don’t know how he is doing now. He didn’t even come back to Sunny Town to visit the old man. What a scoundrel.)

Jiang Ran returned to his hotel room and sneezed for some reason.

He didn't pay much attention to it. He checked the room first according to the procedure, then sat down and began to organize his thoughts.

After leaving the Quest Guild branch as "Frost Knight Stan", Jiang Ran first went to the outskirts of Sunny Town, then activated the skill "Shadowmaker" and hid in the shadow of a sparrow to return to Sunny Town.

As for the Frost Knight's eye-catching armor, Jiang Ran had already stored it in the stomach of the "King Viper Gnake" and would take it out and use it later when the identities were switched.

This time, with the help of the newly acquired "Invisibility Ball", Jiang Ran can be said to have successfully created a new vest called "Frost Knight Stan" out of thin air. Not only did he successfully interrupt the long-term surveillance of the Heavenly Ghosts and Earthly Ghosts, but he also successfully kept his old acquaintance, Branch Chief Oleg, in the dark.

Frankly speaking, when Jiang Ran faced Branch Chief Oleg, he was somewhat worried that he would be exposed, but the knight armor he wore, called "Frost Iron", performed far beyond his expectations and did not let Branch Chief Oleg see any flaws at all.

This is due to both the effects of the "Frost Iron Knight Armor" itself and Jiang Ran's own acquired efforts.

Since leaving Yanji City as "Frost Knight Stan", Jiang Ran has been using his time to vigorously defeat monsters and complete commissions while traveling, making his new identity quickly famous.

In the relatively peaceful and low-level military kingdom of West, Jiang Ran, with his fifth-rank combat professional class, can already be considered a figure. Even the best of the five major families can compete with him. Therefore, the powerful man who was "born out of thin air": "Frost Knight Stan", easily gained a lot of attention.

On the other hand, the large number of monsters defeated made Jiang Ran's new armor tainted with a lot of hostility. With this hostility lingering around, even if Jiang Ran himself did nothing, "Frost Knight Stan" could still have an aura that intimidated ordinary people.

In the next operation, Jiang Ran will continue to implement the current style of action and turn "Frost Knight Stan" into a dazzling "light".
