Chapter 67: Generous Rewards! Thunder Behemoth!
Leo opened the wooden chest and took a look. Inside was a brand-new set of silver armor, composed of countless tiny silver rings interlinked with one another.
It was a suit of chainmail, fitting very snugly—likely an inner armor.
This was quite a good reward.
Judging by its appearance, the quality was excellent. It should be able to withstand sneak attacks such as throwing knives or concealed weapons.
Leo hadn’t expected that the year-end assessment reward would actually be an inner armor.
“Looks like there’s a hint of protection in this.”
Leo put the inner armor on close to his body.
The weight of over ten jin felt like nothing on him, as if he were wearing a piece of cloth.
It didn’t affect his movements, nor did it make any noise. It could be worn directly under his clothes,贴身而穿.
He barely felt anything at all—extremely light and comfortable.
Leo estimated that armor of this quality would cost at least dozens of silver coins.
Beneath the inner armor was a small cloth pouch.
Leo picked it up—it seemed to contain some silver coins.
With a squeeze, he could tell there weren’t many.
But when he opened it, Leo froze.
There were actually five gold coins!
Five gold coins—that was equivalent to fifty silver coins.
If it had been when he had just arrived, receiving such a huge sum would have kept him awake all night.
But now, with his own business, five gold coins could only make him happy for a few minutes.
Still, with these gold coins, he could now spend the coins he had taken from the belly of the Blood Goblin more legitimately.
Next was a large bottle of body-tempering potion—and it was silver!
Leo had heard Eve Sova mention that the standard-issue body-tempering potions were usually black and of ordinary quality.
This kind of silver potion already belonged to second-tier medicine and was extremely valuable.
Above silver, there was also a gold body-tempering potion, but that belonged to the realm of third-tier medicine.
The entire Blackstone City didn’t even have potions of that quality.
The silver one in his hand now was several times more effective than the black potion when used for cultivating the Breathing Technique.
Leo looked at the amount of potion.
This quantity would probably last him for over a month.
He couldn’t wait to try the auxiliary effects of the silver potion.
He slowly calmed his mind.
Dipping a tiny bit with his fingertip, he applied it to his body and began circulating his Breathing Technique.
He could clearly feel that the sensation brought by the silver potion was far stronger than that of the black one.
Among the three rewards from the assessment, Leo liked every single one.
He could also sense how much Blackstone City valued outstanding Knight’s Squires.
The meaning behind them was quite clear—
The inner armor was for protection.
The gold coins supported livelihood.
And the body-tempering potion aided growth.
Leo could even sense a subtle intention of winning people over.
But he didn’t think too much about it for now. With these gold coins and the second-tier body-tempering potion,
he was about to enter a period of rapid growth.
Leo looked at his panel.
For the coming period, his top priority was Swordsmanship.
【Tide Cross Sword (Blue) Third Stage 92/100】
This skill was about to reach completion. Leo wanted to see whether maxing it out would bring any special effects.
Moreover, once this skill reached full level, he would meet the requirements to unlock a new class.
【Sword Master】 (Blue)
His first Blue-tier Class—he had been waiting for this for a long time.
In addition, 【Hunting】, 【Tracking】, and 【Archery】 would all be temporarily put on hold.
Leo placed the priority of the Breathing Technique above them.
【Furnace Breathing Technique First Stage 47/100】
If he could push this Breathing Technique to the second stage within a few months,
and reach the knight realm, his strength would experience a tremendous leap in a short time.
By then, people like Zoro and Yoro would no longer be worth fearing.
With that thought, he calmed his mind and began circulating the Breathing Technique.
But at that very moment, Leo’s brows twitched—he heard a sound that didn’t belong here.
It was a coarse, low growl that could only come from a massive body.
The kind of frictional sound produced by thick vocal cords.
Even from afar, it sent chills down one’s spine.
Leo shot to his feet, his pores instinctively tightening.
He quickly moved to the window, pressing his eyes against the gap and adjusting his angle.
Faintly, dozens of meters away, at the gate of the Knight’s Squire dormitory area—
there was a palm-wide gap beneath the heavy black iron gate, and Leo vaguely sensed something outside.
It was deep night now, with no moonlight—nothing could be seen clearly.
The next moment, Leo activated Hunting Moment.
And then he saw an unexpectedly familiar foot.
Two enormous claws, each with four toes.
Leo recognized the owner of those claws at a glance.
Thunder Lizard!?
Wasn’t that thing supposed to be in the dungeon? How had it suddenly appeared here?
The dungeon was hundreds of meters away from this place.
Leo hadn’t been mistaken. Just one second later—
With a thunderous boom,
the wide iron gate was blasted open from the middle.
A massive figure appeared at the entrance.
Just from that familiar silhouette, Leo could already confirm—
it was indeed a Level 3 Beastkin, the Thunder Lizard.
Not far away, several Knight’s Squires were still on the road.
Hearing the loud noise just now,
they turned their heads back—
and immediately let out terrified screams.
“Damn it! What is that thing!”
“Look at the gate!”
“A snake! Such a huge monstrous snake!”
The dormitory area was composed of rooms partitioned within a single building.
So upon hearing the shouts,
almost all the Knight’s Squires were jolted awake from their sleep.
At the same time, a sharp whistle cut through the sky.
It was a signal arrow fired from the watchtower.
After the previous Beast Calamity, a seed of vigilance had been planted in every Knight’s Squire’s heart.
Almost at the same instant, ninety percent of the Knight’s Squires rushed out of their rooms.
Under the illumination of the ever-burning torches in the courtyard,
a massive creature over ten meters long stood unsteadily in the center.
Not a single squire had ever seen such a Beastkin before.
A large body meant immense strength—power was often directly proportional to size.
Just from its physique alone, one could tell this Beastkin was far from weak.
Its sudden appearance was like a stone crashing into still water, completely shattering the quiet of the night.
For a moment, cries of alarm and chaotic footsteps filled the air.
Facing this gigantic beast that had suddenly appeared before them, the Knight’s Squires fell into panic one after another.
But amidst this chaos, one person stepped forward, holding a long blade in reverse grip, standing before the crowd.
Fidis still had a trace of drunkenness on his face. With one hand, he lifted a heavy blade weighing dozens of jin and pointed it straight at the intruding beast.
“Where did this trash come from, daring to trespass into the knights’ forbidden ground!”
Bolstered by alcohol and the excitement of just being promoted to a Quasi-Knight,
Fidis narrowed his eyes slightly, displaying astonishing courage.
