“Giddy up!”

Su Lu charged down the hill and onto the road.

“Declare your name!”

Knight Mas ordered the caravan to stop, eyeing Su Lu warily.

“Su Lu… from the Pottery family!”

Su Lu laughed, “A nobody, who wishes to accompany you to Wolf Fort!”

“Arrogant! Daring! Do you have any idea who the lady in the carriage is? She is the current Duke of Wolf Fort’s cousin!”

Before Mas could answer, a knight beside him shouted angrily, “A mere wandering knight dares to talk about joining us?”

“It seems like you guys were in some trouble just now; an extra sword could be a nice help.”

Su Lu appeared like a typical wandering knight.

“Fine…as long as you can take my sword!”

Knight Mas became calm.

“Please.”

Su Lu dismounted casually and approached the others.

“Mum…. is that the wandering knight? He looks…”

Inside the carriage…

Linna was looking at Su Lu, “His horse is old, and his sword doesn’t seem very good. He’s not as handsome as the legendary prince…”

“A wandering knight…”

Madame Monferry scoffed, “Perhaps he has some special skills, but he is at best tantamount to our three guards. How could he possibly be a match for Knight Mas? He’s a…. a true Iron Knight!”

As she laughed, Knight Mas also dismounted, wielding his huge sword with a gust of wind and slammed it down!

Boom!

The giant sword fell to the ground, leaving a large pit.

Knight Mas’s pupils contracted.

In his perception, the opponent’s speed had inexplicably shot up and he had dodged his sure-hit sword.

He hastily withdrew his sword, trying to defend himself, but suddenly felt a chill at his back.

A sharpened sword blade was extending from behind his neck, “Knight Mas, does this mean… I’ve passed the test?”

“Yes…”

A dry sound came from Mas’s throat.

Su Lu laughed and sheathed his sword, returning to his horse, “Then… I’ll be counting on you guys on the journey!”

He had already grasped the rules of this world, or rather, the rules of any world – those with power inevitably held sway!

While he was insignificant in the Main World, what about in this world?

Just based on his restored [Shadow Warrior] professional rank and ability, even a dozen or so Iron Knights wouldn’t be enough to kill him.

If so, what was there to fear?

“Mother dear, you lost!”

In the carriage, Linna hugged her mother’s neck and giggled, “Even though he’s not as handsome as a prince, his swordsmanship is just as elegant…”

“No…you have no idea! The only ones who can defeat an Iron Knight are other Iron Knights, or even higher!”

Madame Monferry gazed at Su Lu’s retreating form, “An Iron Knight who’s mixed in with the wandering knights? Intriguing!”

The caravan resumed its journey.

Knight Mas slowed down slightly and approached the carriage window, “Madam… I’m sorry.”

“He’s an anomaly among the wandering knights… Sir Mas, do you think this Su Lu has the power of an Iron Knight?” Madame Monferry inquired.

“While we didn’t test his full power, his speed… is terrifying, almost surpassing that of an Iron Knight…”

Knight Mas stated solemnly, “I suspect he is an Iron Knight who specializes in speed. I’ve heard from my teacher before about knights from the South whose training is somewhat different from ours… possessing extremely swift speed!”

“And… he’s very young!”

Upon saying this, even Knight Mas felt a tinge of envy, “Such a person, if willing to pledge allegiance, the Duke would surely be delighted to bestow them with a land.”

Generally speaking, unless the background was incredibly powerful, a newly pledged Iron Knight would first be appointed with a lifelong knighthood.

Once they had established enough merit and were granted a hereditary fiefdom, the person would then evolve into a hereditary knight.

However, there are exceptions for highly skilled knights or those with strong backgrounds.

In Mas’s view, Su Lu would fall under ‘highly skilled’.

In fact, traces of envy had unconsciously begun to brew.

But he was sensible enough to know that engaging in a conflict right here could potentially get them all killed, so he didn’t dare exhibit any of it.

In the evening, everyone set up camp and lit a fire to roast food.

“My Lord, please!”

A guard offered up some roasted meat, seared to a golden brown and oozing with juices.

After demonstrating his ‘Iron Tier’ power, Su Lu noticed their cautionary respect.

But these were the rules of this world.

He just smiled, took the meat amidst their shock, and turned to Mas Gill.

The noble lady and her daughter had already gone to the tent, while Mas was leaning against a tree trunk, drinking a northern specialty, a strong liquor called ‘Sherry’.

Their view and experiences far surpassed the villagers.

Su Lu had learned that they were protecting the Duchess of Mitis’s cousin, a recent widow alleged to control a considerable amount of envied inheritance.

However, due to having a caring brother, she hadn’t been targeted much.

They were unexpectedly surrounded by the Mountain Tribe this time.

Those savages wouldn’t even hesitate to rob the king if he came alone!

“Su Lu…”

Mas took a sip of his drink and lazily stretched, “I really don’t understand you. You clearly have the power and could be an enviable knight under any noble, so why are you wandering?”

After seeing Su Lu’s face, he secretly went through all the wanted orders in the kingdom but found no one who fitted the description.

“I love to wander…to see different scenery, recently, I came to the North…”

Su Lu smiled, “Maybe… once I get tired, I will choose a place to settle down, acquire land and a title, and pass it on to my future generations.”

“Then you will definitely choose the South! The land there is more fertile… I’ve been to Walley island before, ah… it’s a paradise flowing with milk and honey.”

“Sir, you don’t seem to like the North?”

A glint of nostalgia flashed in Mas’s eyes, “No…I do like it here. This is the home of all the Snow People, if only it were not for the harsh weather, the Ice Ghosts, nocturnal trolls, and those ‘strange’ things.”

He mumbled a few words.

Su Lu, however, was intrigued by what he heard.

It seemed, the humans in this world were not without their troubles.

Perhaps…while possessing certain Transcendent powers, they were also suffering from mysterious external threats!

“Interested…in hearing more about it?”

His face softened, imbued with a hypnotic quality.
