"Hey bro, you're here!"
Su Qing greeted him warmly, affectionately putting her arm around Chris's shoulder: "Let me introduce you, this is..."
He had barely opened his mouth when he realized he hadn't asked the yellow dog's name yet, so he turned his gaze over to it.
"My master calls me Jack!"
The old yellow dog earnestly told us its name.
Su Qing nodded repeatedly and looked at Chris: "This is Senior Da Huang!"
The yellow dog's tail stiffened for a moment, then quickly began to wag again, seemingly unconcerned about how others addressed it.
Chris remained silent, feeling immense pressure standing beside the dragon. After a long while, he finally spoke to the yellow dog: "Senior, have I passed the test?"
"It's approved!"
The old yellow dog nodded, stood up, wagged its tail, and left, quickly returning with two boxes, one large and one small.
"My master exhausted all his possessions to break through to the Glorious level, and didn't leave behind much. The most important things were these two inheritances. As for the rest, they were left in the illusion on the fourth level to maintain the quality of the test mind..."
As the old yellow dog finished speaking, he couldn't help but glance at Su Qing again.
It was relatively safe to leave it there, but I never expected to run into such a thing.
"We agreed beforehand that I would choose first!"
Chris quickly spoke up, looking at Su Qing and mentioning the previous agreement.
Su Qing patted his head affectionately: "Little golden retriever, are you being good?"
Chris's face darkened. Although he didn't know what the other party was going to say next, he was certain that the dragon was planning to go back on its word!
He immediately stepped forward, opened the two boxes, quickly glanced at them, picked up the small box, and hid on the old yellow dog.
The old yellow dog said to Su Qing very seriously, "You can't take his things!"
Su Qing pursed her lips; he wasn't that kind of person.
The paw that was already on Chris's head rubbed the golden hair hard, then stepped away and picked up the large box.
Inside was a broadsword, nearly three meters long, with a chilling gleam and of exceptional quality.
Su Qing took the sword in her hand, her pupils flashing, and another fruit on the skill tree was lit up.
A sword forged through countless trials
[Skill that can be unlocked: Swordsmanship]
Put aside the skills for now. This sword, forged through countless trials, sounds like a basic, unskilled item.
Other treasures previously mentioned include the Conqueror's Crown, the Feather of the Sky, and Medusa's Gaze.
Judging from the name, it must be something good, a sword forged through countless trials... That's a bit underwhelming!
I glanced at the skills again, and as always, the activated skills matched the treasures perfectly.
I glanced at the current wealth statistics again: 930,000 (1,230,000 - 100,000 - 100,000 - 100,000)
Su Qing sighed. It was always the same. Even though he knew he was short of money, the damn system still tried to get him to spend it.
Suppressing the urge to activate her skill and inspect the goods, Su Qing looked towards Chris, curious about what the other was holding.
If the item is better, the golden retriever might offer it to him.
It's okay if he doesn't take the initiative; he doesn't care.
Perhaps the other party will encounter an accident on the road, such as being bitten to death by a tiger or killed by a bear. In that case, one can also inherit the estate.
However, as the older brother, Su Qing did not want his sworn brother to be in danger and expressed his concern.
The box was opened, and inside was a book that looked ordinary, yet was different from ordinary books.
The book's front and back covers are very thick, with eight different mythical beast patterns forming a ring, from which four more symbols radiate outwards. At the center of all the patterns is an eye, which has a mysterious spirituality and seems ready to move at any moment.
"This is the master's book of profound secrets!"
The old yellow dog explained from the side, with a hint of pride: "Although my master was a Free Knight, he was a rare genius among Free Knights. He condensed his profound knowledge when he reached the second level of Brilliance. If nothing unexpected happened, he should have been able to advance to the title level smoothly. It's just a pity that my master accumulated serious injuries due to years of fighting, which caused his lifespan to be far shorter than that of other knights of the same level. He later died here."
When the old yellow dog recalled its past sorrows, it was overcome with grief and began to wail.
If his owner had successfully been promoted to a higher rank, he would probably still be alive today; just thinking about it makes the dog sad.
Chris had never seen the old yellow dog cry before, and now that he saw the usually serious and dignified old yellow dog suddenly start whimpering and crying more and more sadly, he was at a loss.
I was afraid the dog would cry itself unconscious, and if that happened, I'd be in big trouble.
"Don't be sad, senior. I will carry on your legacy and become the greatest knight!"
Chris made a firm promise, his eyes filled with the youthful anticipation for the future.
In Su Qing's eyes, this was a teenager who had never experienced the harsh realities of society.
The old yellow dog's crying gradually stopped, and it looked at Chris strangely: "My master never thought of becoming the greatest knight. He just wanted to be a guard for a nobleman. As a result, he was favored by the nobleman's daughter and became her lover for several years. Later, the nobleman's daughter got married, and my master lost his job, so he became a knight."
The old yellow dog, completely unconcerned, began recounting its master's dark history in front of his coffin.
Su Qing glanced at the coffin with concern, wondering if she should go up and hold down the coffin lid if it moved in any way.
Chris was a little shocked. Looking at the Book of Secrets in his hand, he suddenly felt it wasn't so appealing anymore.
The old yellow dog wagged its tail and continued, "If you want to become a great knight, you'd better not merge with my master's secret techniques."
