Su Qing thoroughly searched the old man's body, then looked him over in the river before leaving, satisfied, with a dozen or so swords in his arms.
The old man stood disheveled in the wind, feeling a strange sense of emptiness.
He didn't test whether the other person had the quality of honesty, but they definitely didn't have the quality of shame!
That's outrageous! They're even taking from the elderly. What will he do with the other trial participants? He doesn't have any other swords to deal with anyone else right now.
In contrast to him, Chris, looking at the apple he had carved from wood in his hand, fell into deep thought in the small town ahead.
"Mayor, are you really sure this is a golden apple that can heal injuries after being eaten?"
He was very skeptical about whether this thing was edible.
The old man masked his embarrassment with a warm smile: "Yes, if you eat this golden apple, no matter how serious your injury is, you will recover!"
The people around them nodded in agreement.
Chris put away the apples with a worried expression and bid farewell to the townspeople.
The apple carved from wood cast a shadow over his mood.
After walking for ten days and nights, Chris came to a river. Thirsty, he prepared to drink some water, but when he squatted down, he accidentally dropped his sword into the river.
He hurriedly bent down to pick it up, but still came up empty-handed.
Ripples spread across the river, and an old man emerged, smiling warmly: "Warrior passing by, did you fall in with this wooden sword, this stone sword, or this iron sword?"
Chris remained silent, suspecting that the old man was insulting his intelligence!
Even if the other party had brought out three iron swords, he would have considered it.
The old man was also somewhat embarrassed, as he really didn't have any suitable weapons left, and all his possessions had been taken by that bastard.
"It's that iron sword!"
Chris spoke calmly.
"Oh, honest warrior, then I will give you all three swords!"
Chris picked up the iron sword and refused decisively: "No need!"
After saying that, he turned and left, leaving the somewhat embarrassed old man muttering under his breath, "The world is going to the dogs, people's hearts are no longer what they used to be. How come young people these days don't know how to give old people any face!"
Meanwhile, Su Qing arrived at another city. As soon as he entered, a group of people stopped him: "Brave warrior, can you sell us your horse?"
The man who stopped him looked earnest, and Su Qing asked with concern, "What happened?"
"Here's the thing, our city lord wants the best horse in the world, but none of the horses we've found are satisfactory. I think your horse is an excellent steed, and I hope you can help us!"
Su Qing looked at him, nodded, and agreed without hesitation.
Half an hour later, Su Qing killed the city lord, ransacked the city lord's mansion, refused the farewells from the others, and left triumphantly.
As he walked along the road, he reflected on his gains. Since entering the ruins, he had already amassed a considerable fortune. The golden apples and the cold iron sword he obtained from the river god were not things that could be easily bought with money.
The books on knightly training and some battle aura techniques recorded on parchment found in the city lord's mansion may not be particularly rare, but they cannot be valued in ordinary terms.
Su Qing traveled for another ten days and nights before finally seeing the giant dragon.
It was a black dragon about a hundred meters long, exuding a terrifying and intimidating aura. Its jet-black scales reflected the sunlight, and its cold, dark golden dragon eyes stared at Su Qing.
Behind the black dragon, a girl in a gorgeous palace dress was left trembling in a corner, looking at Su Qing with pitiful and expectant eyes.
They were hoping this dragon would snatch them away from another dragon.
Su Qing also looked at the black dragon and sensed the aura emanating from it that was close to the Glory level, and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
Is it that difficult? Or did I miss something?
If the opponent is a dragon approaching the Glory level, it will be very difficult for an average person to pass this level.
At least his sworn brother would definitely not pass!
Chris handed the horse over to the new city lord and received a flying magic carpet. He was immediately excited, finally getting a proper auxiliary item.
They also received information that a powerful knight had once cut off one of the dragon's horns. If they could obtain that horn, they could weaken the dragon's strength by a whole level and instill fear in it, thus reducing its combat power.
So Chris embarked on his journey to find the dragon horn once more...
Su Qing met the dragon's gaze, then looked at the princess behind it. She was very beautiful, and he nodded in satisfaction.
Although it was all an illusion, at least the dragon didn't embarrass him.
"Foolish human! You are offending the great dragon!"
The dragon noticed the hint of disregard in Su Qing's gaze and roared in anger.
Su Qing was slightly taken aback and looked at the dragon: "What do I look like in your eyes?"
He had only just realized that he appeared as a human in the eyes of these people.
Although the dragon did not have the ability to transform into human form, he was still curious about what his body would look like if it were transformed into a human form.
The dragon curled its lip in disdain: "Ugly and obese humans!"
A grid pattern appeared on Su Qing's forehead.
Anger +1!
If honesty is the quality of a knight, then lies are the quality of a dragon. In the eyes of this dragon, a slightly chubby, somewhat foolish boy is recklessly shouting at him.
"Even if you are pitifully fat and ugly, you dared to offend a great dragon, and you will pay a heavy price."
