"Ah, speaking of this, the Tree of Life said that the Golden Sea of ​​Trees is not open because the Ganges River is eroding the Golden Sea of ​​Trees through the channel." Blaze suddenly remembered the special existence that was half-naked, clearly a human being, but not like a human in every way - the Tree of Life.

"Now that the Hundred Births River, which was governed by the Nemean Giants, has disappeared, can I enter the Golden Sea of ​​Trees?"

Blaze never forgot about the Golden Kingdom. Now Catherine and Enya gave two completely opposite Golden Kingdoms. Only the elves who had wandered the world from ancient times to the Age of Gods to the present could truly and objectively describe the Golden Kingdom.

Although the elves are now actively looking for him, who knows where they have found him. It would be more reliable for him to find him himself.

"One is definitely not enough. At least one of the other two Hundred Births Ganges in this world must disappear."

"Does that mean we have to return another constellation?" Blazer couldn't help but feel a little numb. He had already been troubled by a Nemean Giant, and now he had to deal with another one. Moreover, Aries, who should have been solved first, was still in an unknown world.

To be honest, he is naked now. Who would challenge monsters of this level naked every time?

Ah, except for strangers.

"The good news is that not all beast kings need to be defeated by fighting. The bad news is that I saw the day when the stars fell, and two of them fell on this continent. One is a lion, and the other is..." Chicken stretched out his voice, deliberately arousing Blaze's curiosity, and spoke slowly when Blaze became nervous.

"Centaurs."

"Isn't this going to be bad?"

Centaurs are a very strange creature that is half human and half horse. They are generally divided into two categories: centaurs with a centaur head and centaurs with a human body. Although the two have very different appearances, their habits are the same.

Loves to eat meat, likes to kill and be a robber.

"Don't worry, normally this guy should be the last one to be conquered. Can you guess what the key element of the strategy is?" Chicken had a playful smile on his face, contrary to his seriousness and opposition when he was going to go to war with the Nemean Giant.

"Lions have invulnerable fur, right?"

Blaze knew without a second thought, because the most threatening thing about the centaurs was their terrifying archery skills. They were elite cavalry, shooting when attacking and shooting when retreating, and they used extremely terrifying heavy bows, making them extremely dangerous monsters.

"Yes, with the lion we can definitely win!"

For some reason, when Blaze saw the chicken celebrating its victory in advance, he knew that things would definitely not be that simple.

Because the stranger said that there is a god called [FLAG] in this world who will fairly punish those who celebrate in advance.

Chapter 196 Enjoying a Worry-Free Adventure

"We will definitely win. The opponent's strongest skill is archery, but the lion's fur is invincible!"

As the chicken shouted, Blaze was left with only a deep sense of unease. As the strangers say, this was like planting the flag. Waving the flag of victory before the battle even began, and then, as expected, a crushing defeat.

Blazer quite agrees with this statement, after all, he has actual cases.

Before the war with the Nemean Giants, the chicken and the old lion stuck flags on the Nemean Giants' heads that read "You can never win without Aries", and as a result, the Nemean Giants were defeated.

Now the chickens actually started to stick the deadly flag "A lion will definitely win over the horses" on his head.

Blazer suddenly remembered the first Nemean lion he had defeated. How did he deal with the invulnerable lion skin? He strangled it to death.

"Stop, wait a minute."

In order to prevent himself from dying before accomplishing his mission, Blaze decisively cut off the flag on his head and spoke to the chicken in great seriousness.

"Since the Centaur is in this world, it must have witnessed the moment when the Lion returned to the sky. So, there's no doubt that it will prepare a way to win even if it faces a Lion."

What Blaze said made sense. The biggest reason for the successful conquest of the Nemean Giant was that the Nemean Giant did not think he would lose at all and did not take any preventive measures.

Leo returns to the sky. This huge movement, visible to all living things in the world, is enough to make Centaurs, who are restrained by Leo, more vigilant.

"That's right, the great Centaur is a wise man, guiding the humans of the Age of Gods." The chicken propped up its chin with its wing and muttered, "Ah, after all, although the Centaur is called the King of Beasts, it is not the king among centaurs. Instead, it is an extremely humble being who chooses to teach all living things on earth."

"Hmm...just pretend I didn't instigate you. If you challenge me directly, you'll definitely be beaten to death. There must be a reason why the Centaur is ranked last. Let's go after the Aries first."

For some reason, after Chicken said this, Blaze felt a lot more at ease and was able to discuss the Centaur issue leisurely.

"If I want to conquer Centaurs, do I have to defeat them and obtain star fragments, just like we did with the Nemean Giants? Speaking of which, I'm not a Centaur-born creature, so can I absorb them?"

"Didn't I tell you? Although you can't monopolize a constellation, Night Watcher grants you a second-level constellation blessing. That's why Night Watcher relies on star fragments to level up," Chicken explained. "Night Watcher, besides being at level 1 when you acquire it, each time you absorb a star fragment from a corresponding Beast King, you'll level up and unlock a corresponding star blessing."

"However, each beast king has a different method of obtaining star fragments. Lions are a unified tribe, and they use fighting and killing to determine their status, but the centaurs are currently unknown."

"I understand." Blaze clenched his right fist and knocked it against the palm of his left hand, suddenly realizing, "In other words, I think the Centaur thing is useless. It's better to honestly improve my strength and explore the underground world."

The Centaurs are simply too far away, and this distance is not only in terms of level, but also in terms of actual distance.

The Hundred Births River occupied by the Nemean Giants belongs to the Giant Kingdom Alliance, and it divides the world with the remaining two rivers without touching each other. The other two rivers are respectively under the management of the Holy Cross Kingdom, which has friction with the Giant Kingdom Alliance, and the newly emerging kingdom - the Eternal Kingdom.

Even the [Hermes' Traveling Hat], a behemoth that almost monopolized all sales industries, was helpless against the Holy Cross Kingdom, a kingdom of extreme faith, and the Eternal Kingdom, a kingdom of extreme monarchy.

The crucial convenient building - the teleportation tower is strictly controlled by the two kingdoms. If you want to move conveniently between the two kingdoms, you can only rely on mounts such as the fast-walking ostrich or pay expensive teleportation fees.

Even 6% of the profits from the sale of goods will be forcibly collected.

When Hebie was drunk before, he complained loudly about the two kingdoms, saying that business was bad and that it was a loss-making business. He also acted crazy while drunk and acted coquettishly towards Audrey, asking Audrey to set her next goal as conquering the Holy Cross Kingdom.

Blaze was shocked at that time, but fortunately Audrey used the excuse that Arcadia was just a territory of the Giant Kingdom to get away with it.

In short, even if Blaze wanted to investigate the Centaur matter now, he was short of money.

Blaze put the matter of the centaur behind him and stopped thinking about it for the time being.

Over the next two days, Blaze walked to Arcadia, and surprisingly, there were no incidents along the way.

Although his honor value had reached its upper limit, Blaze still helped people who encountered difficulties on the road. He occasionally helped a few strangers who were besieged by monsters. Those strangers were still very young and did not know him, so Blaze was very happy to walk with these young strangers for a while.

In the past, Blazer envied the feeling of being surrounded by strangers, but when he was in the center of it, he could no longer resist.

It's not that he hated strangers, but the strangers who surrounded him were like a bunch of mixed colors. There were the simple colors he liked, and there were also extremely utilitarian and aggressive colors. It was so overwhelming that he felt a little uncomfortable.

What he wanted was indeed what those strangers had wanted at the beginning, who had set their sights on the whole world. Although they stumbled forward and sometimes fell down in the dust, they always had a happy smile on their faces, and were happy all day long for a small silver coin they found in a broken jar.

Perhaps the reason he initially wanted to leave Balkan City and see the scenery outside was the smiles on the faces of strangers.

I want to feel the happiness that strangers feel, and I want to become their partner and go on adventures together.

Then the stranger said goodbye without any regrets, looking forward to the next adventure.

Before he knew it, it was already the third day since the agreed date, and the leisurely Blaze realized something.

He was going to be late, and his boots still looked brand new, with no sign of turning dark at all.

"Gah—where is the nearest post station?"

Blaze ran furiously in the moonlight, helping those young strangers complete their quests while he walked with them. Not wanting to diminish the strangers' enjoyment, he even avoided using [Fatal Execution] when defeating monsters.

The strangers enjoyed a good fight, and Blaze was going to be late because of it.

Finally, after Blaze used all his skills, and even let the shadow werewolf carry him and run wildly to restore his strength when his physical strength was reduced, he arrived at the City of Lycaon with only a few minutes left before the end of the third day.

And the beautiful silver-haired girl had been waiting outside the gate of Lycaon City for a long time.

Chapter 197 No matter where we go, we are closely connected

"I heard that true gentlemen and knights would arrive early and wait for the ladies."

Audrey said in a flat tone after Blaze arrived breathlessly.

She was dressed beautifully, wearing a light gauze that outlined her figure, enchanting yet holy, and cross-tied sandals on her feet.

She was really beautiful today, but she waited from morning to night, from the throne to the city gate, until late at night, the person she was waiting for finally arrived.

So she was very angry and nothing she said would be of any use.

"Am I not a lady?"

"Yes, yes, you are a lady." Blaze took a breath, and because of the negative statuses such as [Fatigue] and [Out of Breath], he said breathlessly, "But, but I will become your knight today, right? Forgive me this time."

"Hmph~ Is that so?" Audrey crossed her arms, turned around, and deliberately strode into the City of Lycaon, looking angry and unforgiving.

Chicken looked at Blaze with stars in her eyes. This was the scene she wanted to see!

Look, even though Audrey appeared calm, her true anger often came from not reacting. Blaze's simple, heartfelt remark calmed Audrey down and turned her into a tsundere.

It's like a hungry wolf that gets a piece of meat, is satisfied for a short time, and doesn't mind playing with its prey for a while longer.

Blaze didn't know what Audrey was thinking. He just felt that he was in the wrong and followed Audrey silently.

Audrey did not go directly to the New Silver Castle, but took Blaze to stroll around the City of Lycaon. They walked through the most lively places and also visited the most inconspicuous places.

The people of Arcadia lived happily together, showing off their silver werewolf appearances, blessing the union of lovers, and imagining a bright future.

Audrey shows Blaze the result of their joint efforts, a thriving and beautiful territory.

Finally, Audrey arrived at the New Silver Castle.

When they reached the door, Blaze knew how much Audrey and Herbie had prepared;

This will be an extremely magnificent knight enthronement ceremony, the level of luxury and grandeur even surpassing that of many kingdoms.

"Tomorrow I will be here to knight the first group of strangers in Arcadia. To be honest, a month ago I was filled with hatred and fear towards strangers."

Audrey turned around, a peaceful smile on her face. Blaze quietly walked her around the entire circle, and she was no longer sulking. The resentment and impatience she had been waiting for all day were now replaced by peace.

"But it was because of those strangers who assassinated me that I realized the importance of kind strangers."

"In fact, strangers are just like the unpredictable weather. It may rain or it may be sunny." Blaze chuckled. He always had expectations and longings for strangers, this group of visitors from another world.

Audrey didn't respond to Blaze's words. She was very comfortable with her silver hair blown by the evening breeze, as if the past when she was hunted by strangers was just a casual chat when she was with others.

She wanted to talk to Blaze, no matter what she said, even if it was about the painful past, it would only make her feel satisfied now because Blaze listened attentively.

Audrey was like her silver hair flying in the wind, she talked about her childhood and then about Herbie's childhood, and then about how small Arcadia was and how big the sky was.

The first line is about Romeo and Juliet's argument over their child's name, and the second line is about Herbie staying up all night and turning himself into a panda. Blazer replies that Wolf is a good name for a boy, but he's not sure about a girl, and then says that he's going to ask for some money while Herbie is half asleep.

She knew that Blaze was always listening carefully to her every word.

She told him everything she knew, and she wished she were a knowledgeable scholar who could talk about the rising and setting of the sun.

But unfortunately, what she knew was too little compared to this long night, and in the end, all she could say was the last bit.

She looked back and saw the boy leaning against the railing looking at the moon in the sky.

He didn't look at her specifically, and his attention was not even on the beautiful moon, but he was always there. As long as she spoke, she would get a response, and as long as she turned around, she would see him there.

That's why the majestic knight panicked like an ordinary girl after the boy disappeared.

Then she couldn't say the last point, otherwise it would be cheating.

"As for me, I don't want to be a troublesome woman." Audrey leaned on the railing, crossed her legs, and entangled her cute toes together.

"But the trouble seems to be that it's my nature that I can't change."

She tilted her head back and turned her face to the side, letting her silver hair cascade down like a waterfall.

She seemed to be in distress, but also seemed to be very proud, like a naughty female wolf who dressed up carefully to show her beauty, but was interested in biting the male wolf's ears and playing pranks with him.

Unfortunately, the male wolf didn't understand the meaning of the story very well and obediently offered his ear.

"It's okay, I'm not afraid of trouble." Blaze suddenly raised his thumb and pointed at himself with great pride, "You don't know how much trouble I found when I went out."

Audrey smiled helplessly.

That's why the female wolf can't stop. If one day the male wolf suddenly gets wise and becomes good at sweet talk and pleasing others, he will no longer be the same male wolf.

"I want to give you a lot of things, but I know you will reject them one by one and only accept what was agreed upon at the beginning." Audrey put her hands on the railing and suddenly moved close to Blaze with a mischievous smile on her face.

"You must have taken that as a joke anyway."

"Ah, this..." Blazer waved his hands guiltily. In fact, what he was thinking about was the Battle of the Nemean Giants, which he did not tell Audrey.

Audrey noticed Blaze's embarrassment, but she just smiled casually and distanced herself again.

"The only gift I can think of that you wouldn't refuse is becoming a king for you."

"Oh... Haah!?" Blaze opened his mouth wide, his mind was confused for a moment, but Audrey didn't care and just watched her toes fighting.

"The Giant Kingdom asked me what I wanted as a reward, and I took this. Of course, I didn't leave the Giant Kingdom's alliance, I just restored the country's name."

"But what does this have to do with knights...ah——"

Blaze lowered his head, and Audrey took the opportunity to hit Blaze's head with her own head, and smiled with a prank done.

"Are you still worried about the Princess Knight incident?" Blaze sighed helplessly, regretting why he lied about being an Amnesia Knight.

Like the Strongman class, the Knight class was divided into different ranks based on their championship level. The highest rank of Knight was undoubtedly the King's Knight, appointed by the King, while Audrey was appointed the Queen's Knight, also of the highest rank.

Audrey shook her finger and corrected herself, "I'm the Queen. I won't argue with the Princess. And you're wrong about one thing. I'm not knighting anyone."

"It's a higher-level classification, the [Silver Knight], comparable to the [Fairy Knight] canonized by the Everqueen."

At this moment, Audrey showed a very aggressive smile on her face again, she was proud and confident.
