Inside the royal palace of the Duchy of Carter, the old king, his hair half-white, looked at the young knight before him, his heart filled with doubt.

Since he issued the bounty, countless knights who considered themselves brave have volunteered.

However, no one displayed the strength that could convince him, including some warriors who were very famous in the country.

But he had never heard of the boy's name before.

The boy called himself Alan, a student of a high-ranking knight, and exuded a strong sense of confidence.

"Your Majesty, if you do not believe in my strength, you may have the strongest man in the kingdom wrestle with me, the fastest man in the kingdom compete with me in speed, and the best swordsman in the kingdom compete with me in swordsmanship."

The young man was spirited and radiant, showing no fear of challenges.

The old king, astonished by the bravery of the young man before him, ordered his men to summon the kingdom's greatest warrior.

"If you can defeat him, I will have the best armor and sword prepared for you, and a fine horse that can run a thousand miles a day."

The first warrior summoned by the king was a burly man over three meters tall, ugly in appearance, wearing heavy armor, and looking fierce.

After hearing the king explain why he had been summoned, the warrior looked at the thin knight before him and let out a disdainful sneer.

“Such a frail man, dealing with him is as easy as dealing with a quail.”

The young knight was not angry at the offensive words. Instead, he smiled faintly, looked at the king, and asked if the contest could begin.

Having received the king's permission, the young knight named Alan suddenly sprang into action, unleashing a terrifying aura of battle.

His originally frail body became strong under the stimulation of his fighting spirit, and his eyes shone with an unstoppable sharpness.

The ugly, burly man was somewhat surprised, not expecting that the other party was actually a knight who could skillfully use battle aura.

He hastily retaliated, colliding with the opponent's fist.

In a split second, the burly man was sent flying, staggering to the ground before quickly getting up and roaring in frustration.

"It's ready!"

The king quickly intervened. Although it was only a brief contest, the strength of the young knight before him was already evident.

He looked at the young man with admiration: "I never expected you to be such a powerful knight. I will have weapons, armor and horses prepared for you. If you can rescue my daughter, I am willing to reward you with a large territory and marry my daughter to you."

The king made his promise, and the young knight Alan bowed in reply, assuring the king that he would definitely rescue the princess.

Then he donned new armor, took a sharp sword, and rode a white steed in the direction the dragon had gone.

He asked many people along the way and walked for a whole day before arriving at a place called Andy Town.

He was already very hungry and was going to find something to eat, but he didn't expect that there was no one left in the town except for an old man crying.

When the young, hot-blooded knight learned the reason for the old man's crying, he became even angrier.

He never expected that the dragon would abduct another beautiful young girl, and according to the old man's description, she was a high-level magic apprentice who was about to enter a magic academy for further study.

"Don't worry, sir, I will definitely rescue your granddaughter!"

Alan ate some bread provided by the old man, inquired about the direction the dragon had left in, and continued heading in that direction without hesitation.

Flying over the dense forest, Su Qing returned to the cave and untied the girl from his tail.

"I've found you a companion!"

Su Qing called out to Princess Mary, who was standing in the corner and dared not approach, and then took out the two baskets of bread.

He poured one of the baskets directly into his mouth.

Crunch, crunch, breadcrumbs flew everywhere.

Irene's legs were still a little weak; the thrill of being in the air had left her feeling dizzy.

But being a magic apprentice who had spent years meditating, he quickly calmed down and began to assess his current situation.

She saw another girl in the corner, who must have been kidnapped like herself.

These vile dragons should all be killed!

Elaine thought bitterly, especially when she saw the dragon wasting so much bread, all of which she had made herself.

Su Qing barely managed to finish her meal, then took out two more loaves of bread and tossed them to Princess Mary, and handed one to Irene.

Although Princess Mary was timid, she could not resist her hunger and blushed as she accepted the bread, chewing it in small bites in the corner.

They still maintain some of the proper etiquette.

The girl named Irene remained calm and did not offer any futile resistance.

This advanced magic apprentice girl knew very well that her first priority was to protect herself and wait for someone to come to her rescue.

She made a promise with the magic academy teacher who taught her magic; he would come and take her to the magic academy to study in the next few days.

When the teacher arrived, he couldn't find her, but after asking his grandfather, he quickly found the place.

By then, that powerful mage will surely be able to defeat this dragon.

Thinking of this, the girl's mood brightened.

Su Qing had no idea what the two girls beside him were thinking. After he finished eating, he put all his gold and silver coins into the basket.

Once Su Qing had calculated her current wealth, she was satisfied and began to consider her next steps.

The enhancement of power requires a great deal of wealth, and wealth does not only refer to gold coins; anything of value can be considered wealth.
