‘This is a coincidence…’
‘Isn’t this reward tailor-made for me?’
Levi wondered if this mission was bait, but this task was released seven days ago.
Logically, given how valuable ambergris was, this task should have been taken on long ago.
However, the task was still there after seven days, which means that the person who issued the task had high requirements in archery.
Although the details of the mission are vague, Levi decided to take the risk and accept the mission.
It didn’t take long for the poster of this task to find Levi.
Levi was admittedly amused when he saw the poster; it was none other than the Knight who sold him ambergris.
In the end, it seemed that this Knight was the only person who could provide him with ambergris.
Fate is a wonderful thing, and Levi couldn’t help but sigh.
However, this tells Levi that this Knight has a way of obtaining ambergris.
The Knight didn’t seem to recognise Levi and asked in a serious tone, “Your Excellency, have you read the mission requirements? I require a skilled archer, and I take this very seriously.”
The Knight eyed Levi up and down. After all, no less than ten people who claimed to be archers summoned him, but the Knight found that all these people were liars.
“Why don’t you test it out yourself?” Levi offered calmly.
“Alright then, follow me.” The Knight then left the Shining Tavern, and Levi followed closely behind.
In the wilderness outside the City, the Knight found a clearing and produced three rabbits from his coat. These rabbits were still alive, and they kicked violently in his grasp.
“In order to confirm your skills in archery, I need to conduct a test,” the Knight said.
“No problem.”
The Knight nodded, and he released the rabbits from his grasp.
The three rabbits quickly scattered in three different directions.
It didn’t take long for them to run 100 metres away from them.
“You may begin; if you can hit two arrows, you pass my test,” the Knight said, but it seemed as if he had no faith in Levi.
If shooting just one rabbit was difficult, then shooting the second one is nigh impossible; the rabbit’s running speed is way too fast for any ordinary Knight to handle. Once you shoot the first one, the second one has already fled the scene.
However, in the next moment, the Knight could see Levi casually shooting an arrow in the sky without even aiming. After shooting the first arrow blindly, he shot the second one effortlessly.
The rabbits were already more than a hundred metres away from the two, and under the shocked eyes of the Knight, the two rabbits were shot in the head and died instantly.
Levi didn’t bother subduing the third rabbit; he didn’t want to reveal too much of his own strength.
“Your archery skills are superb,” the Knight praised. “Let me tell you about the mission.”
“By the way, I’m Graff, a bounty hunter,” the Knight introduced. “May I ask for your name?”
“You may call me the White Wolf. I’m a Free Knight.”
In other words, he called himself a Wandering Knight. However, since Wandering Knights have a negative connotation, some unemployed Knights call themselves Free Knights. Back in Levi’s world, one would probably call them freelancers.
Graff nodded, understanding that the person before him wanted to conceal his identity. However, it was obvious that he should be a certain noble Knight and most definitely not a Free Knight.
Graff wordlessly led Levi to a mansion he bought in the City.
When Levi arrived, he found that there were already three Knights in the mansion; one of them was more than two metres tall. He was obviously practising a powerful breathing method, and by his side was an exaggeratedly tall shield.
As for the other two Knights, one of them was a rare female Knight. Women are rarely allowed to learn breathing methods, so female Knights are scarce in this world.
The female Knight wore light leather armour that wrapped around her petite yet well-built figure. With her curly blonde hair and slender yet sturdy legs, she was beautiful.
The last Knight was a middle-aged man, and he donned a rifle by his side. He cooed his beloved horse with fodder by the stable, stroking its mane.
These Knights, including Levi, were gathered at Graff’s mansion for his mission.
“White Wolf, let me introduce you to our three other teammates in this operation. The tall, strong man over here is the Black Rhinoceros Knight; this beautiful, elegant, yet powerful lady is the Black Widow Knight; and the one who is tending to his horse is the Blue Falcon Knight.”
“I summoned five qualified Knights for this operation,” Graff huffed with a smile. “Just to ensure that this mission is foolproof.”
“What is our mission, exactly?” Levi asked. Up until now, Graff has not disclosed the details of the mission.
Graff shook his head, leading them to a warehouse in the mansion. Inside, there was a machine that took up quite a lot of space.
Levi’s complexion visibly changed when he saw it—a military-grade, armour-piercing crossbow used in large-scale wars. He remembered reading about how it was capable of tearing through armour like butter to a hot knife and of piercing through city walls like nothing.
“We are going to kill an Earth Dragon,” Graff said.
Upon hearing this, Levi turned around and left.
