Over the past five years, a rumor has been circulating on the eastern border.

There is a 15-16-year-old sword-wielding wizard active in the eastern ridge. Every time the mercenaries went to fight the wolf men, they couldn't find any survivors, all the work of that teenager.

Even many hidden wolf men strongholds deep in the eastern ridge have been cleared.

The money and treasures looted by the wolf men were also all taken away.

Everyone was guessing the identity of the teenager, after all, he had appeared in the eastern ridge for five years.

Many people had tried to find him.

But no one was able to find him.

Asrant put several gold coins on the table and sighed.

"Alas, there are only four gold coins in this wolf men stronghold. I don't know why the wolf men like meat so much. Their entire storage place is full of meat."

"If you have the ability, you can go rob a dragon, where there's plenty of shiny gold coins and gems. You might even find some unknown artifacts."

The elf in his mind joked.

Hearing the words of the big elf, Asrant is speechless for a moment.

He had always thought that the big elves were very serious and old-fashioned.

But he learned from countless trials within five years.

Others did not know, but the big elf in his body could not be connected with these two words.

When he was in the middle of the brass stage, the big elf urged him to steal the thundergrass from the thunder lizard, saying it could increase lightning resistance, well...

Not to mention the dangerous escape from the lightning sprayed by the thunder lizard.

The week after eating the thundergrass, Asrant thought he would become a paralyzed face in the future.

His mouth was trembling every day!

Just like being electrocuted.

In the late brass stage, she told herself that goblins were rich.

So he went deep into the eastern ridge and found a group of goblins mining.

Yes, goblins are indeed rich, but to know the truth, he was caught by the goblins and worked as a miner for more than a month before he finally escaped.

Those fierce machines were controlled by short goblins and could punch him away with one punch.

Now, she even encourages him to find a dragon?

Who knows if the legendary creatures exist in the eastern ridge?

If they do, he thinks he might not come back this time.

"Did I do something that made you unhappy?"

Asrant asked curiously.

"Why would you think that?"

The big elf was somewhat surprised by Asrant's words.

"Then why do you always make me do these scary things?"

"…" The big elf was silent in his mind for a while before saying, "I'm training you, Asrant. Escaping from the thunder lizard can exercise your reaction ability, escaping from the goblin can exercise your wisdom, escaping from the wolves can exercise your physical fitness, and from giant…my words can give you a truth."

Seeming to think she went too far, the big elf changed her tone at the end.

"What is the truth?"

"Never trust anyone and always keep a skeptical attitude towards everything, forever."

The big elf said solemnly.

"You never know if the person you trust will suddenly turn against you, and you never know if what you know is the truth."

"So, Asrant, trust me, don't wholeheartedly believe in anything."

Asrant was a little confused, but nodded his head. "So that's it…but I still feel like something's not right."

"Then you have learned the truth of this sentence."

The voice of the big elf rang in his mind, with a hint of laughter in her tone.

"Oh, okay, I got it."

Asrant shook his head speechlessly and threw the four gold coins on the table into a nearby alley."Ding~"

"I think this should be enough for you to live in human society, Asrant."

"Well, I heard that the Royal Knight Academy requires a hundred gold tiers, oh my god..." Asrant looked at his storage box with a bitter smile, which contained all the tiers he had collected over the years, big and small.

During these years, he had learned a lot about Cloei, the youngest daughter of the king, the fourth princess Cloei, who was known as the kindest person in the kingdom.

Although he knew she was a princess from the beginning, getting the real news was more shocking than his own guess. To approach Cloei, there were only two ways.

First, having the status of a nobleman, which he didn't have to think about. He was only 16 years old this year, and he couldn't even say whether he could survive on the battlefield, let alone becoming a nobleman, which took too long and required too many achievements.

Second, become a knight, and be an excellent close-guard knight so that he could choose who he would serve.

This was the choice of most knights.

Choose someone to officially confer his knighthood, then guard him and win glory for him in battle.

He could only choose the second one, and he was confident to accomplish it.

"You have to seize the opportunity, Asrant." The elf said in his mind.

This was indeed a great choice for Asrant, as he had always been fighting on his own without any systematic training. A lot of times, he relied on the ice magic brought by the contract to fight.

The second way would be extremely helpful for both achieving his pursuit and perfecting his own strength.

"Yeah, I'll set off tomorrow, and there's half a month left before the Knight Academy starts recruiting, and I'll need to buy a decent outfit by then."

"You'll succeed, don't worry." The elf smiled and comforted.

Asrant also smiled happily, feeling for the second time that he was one step closer to his goal.

Lying on the bed tiredly, Asrant whispered, "Good night."

"Good night."

————————————————————

The Knight Academy had once again reached the annual recruitment period, with many young men wanting to become knights and join the Knights gathered here.

There were only two conditions for admission to the Knight Academy: first, pay a hundred gold tiers. Second: fight with the mentor, meet the requirements of the knight mentor, and the mentor will select suitable candidates for free admission.

Asrant was holding a bag of gold tiers in his hand, constantly observing in the crowd. When he saw the two recruitment conditions, he was overjoyed.

"Can I save a hundred gold tiers if I pass the second one?"

There were two channels for recruitment. One was a long queue of people holding money bags, including well-dressed nobles and wealthy merchants' children.

The other was ordinary, but clean-looking commoners, with the occasional nobleman's child trying to prove their capabilities.

What surprised Asrant even more was that he saw many women in the crowd?!

There were people wanting to be female knights?

And what surprised him even more was that they paid the money and went straight by…

"The Academy really accepts female students?!"

"Next."

When it was finally Asrant's turn after waiting for a long time.

"Do you want to pay the money and go over there?" The mentor behind the stage looked at Asrant holding the money bag in astonishment, then pointed to another line, "Then you should line up over there, this is the entrance exam line."

Asrant shook his head and said, "I want to try if I can pass the entrance exam first."

"No attempt." The mentor said seriously, "You can only choose one."

"Then I choose the first one." Asrant said firmly.

"Alright." The mentor looked at Asrant with a hint of disappointment in his eyes."Actually, it's not an either-or choice, but I just want to see your decision."

Asrant was momentarily stunned, but he immediately understood the mentor's approach.

"Sorry." Asrant bowed to the mentor and said apologetically, "I have a purpose that I must enter the academy. I can't turn this opportunity into an uncertainty because of my own impulse."

After that, Asrant's eyes became sharp and he looked firmly at the mentor.

"Since I can try, I would still like to try the second method first."

"Please begin."
