[Black Rhino Knight], Hunting the Earth Dragon Beast! (Third Update! Please Follow-up Reads!)
"Isn't this a coincidence?"
This Bounty Commission was practically tailor-made for him.
So much so that Levi even suspected the mission might be bait, meant to lure him in.
This commission had been posted seven days ago.
Logically speaking, given how rare Ambergris was, someone should have accepted this mission long ago.
But seven days later, it was still there. That could only mean the person who issued the mission really did have extremely high requirements for Archery.
Though he did not know what they wanted done, this was currently Levi's only way to obtain Ambergris, so he decided to accept the commission. If it really did not work out, he could simply give up the mission and pay a little penalty.
Before long, the issuer of the mission came looking for Levi.
When Levi saw him, he was amused. The man was none other than the knight who had sold him Ambergris before.
So in the end, the one who could provide Ambergris was still this knight.
Fate was truly a marvelous thing, Levi could not help but sigh.
Still, it also proved that this man really did possess a channel for obtaining Ambergris.
The knight did not seem to recognize Levi. In a grave tone, he asked, "Sir, did you read the mission requirements clearly? My mission's requirements for Archery are not just ordinarily high."
The knight looked deeply skeptical. After all, during this period, no fewer than ten people who claimed to be Master Archers had come to him, only for him to test them and discover that they were all frauds who could not meet his requirements at all.
"Whether my Archery is good enough or not, won't you know once you test it?" Seeing this man doubt his Archery, Levi said calmly.
"Very well. Come with me." After the knight finished speaking, he left the Shining Tavern. Levi thought for a moment, then followed.
In the wilderness outside Icewind City, the knight found an open space. He had specially bought three Snow Rabbits from a hunter, and the Snow Rabbits were lively and jumping about.
"To confirm whether your Archery meets my requirements, I need to give you the necessary test," the knight said.
"No problem."
The knight nodded, then opened the cage.
The three Snow Rabbits raced off across the wilderness in three different directions.
Before long, they had already run nearly a hundred meters away.
"You may shoot now. If you can hit two of them, you pass," the knight said, though judging by his expression, he clearly did not have much hope.
If shooting one Snow Rabbit was only hard mode, then rapidly firing again and hitting a second one after shooting the first would be Abyss difficulty for most knights.
Snow Rabbits ran far too fast. If one did not know the Instant Shooting Technique, then after killing the first, the second would already have vanished without a trace.
But the next moment, he saw Levi spend no deliberate time aiming at all. He casually fired an arrow at the Snow Rabbit straight ahead that was just about to burrow into the bushes, and without even looking at the result of that shot, he immediately drew his bow again and fired another arrow.
This arrow's target was a Snow Rabbit running to the left. That Snow Rabbit had already run over a hundred meters away.
Then, under the knight's shocked gaze, both Snow Rabbits were instantly killed by arrows through the head.
As for the third, Levi did not shoot. Although he was confident he could kill the third as well, there was no need. Passing was enough. Any more would instead expose too much of his strength.
He believed this result was already enough to convince the knight.
Sure enough, once the knight came back to his senses, he could not help but praise him. "Sir, your Archery is indeed superb. You have already met my conditions. Next, I will tell you about our mission this time."
"I am Graf, a bounty hunter. May I ask how I should address you, sir?" the knight introduced himself.
"You may call me White Wolf. I am a Free Knight," Levi said.
A Free Knight, to put it plainly, was a Wandering Knight.
It was just that some Wandering Knights without fiefs liked to use the emotionally intelligent term "free" instead of the less flattering term "wandering," similar to how some unemployed vagrants in his previous life called themselves freelancers or authors.
Graf did not say anything. This man calling himself White Wolf clearly did not want to reveal his identity. Judging from the various qualities White Wolf had shown and from his attire, he was clearly likely some noble knight, not a Wandering Knight.
However, he was not interested in Lord White Wolf's identity either. He only needed Lord White Wolf's superb Archery to help him accomplish something big.
Graf brought Levi to a mansion he had purchased in Icewind City.
When Levi arrived, he discovered that there were already three knights inside the mansion. One of the knights was over two meters tall, clearly someone who cultivated a strength-type Breathing Technique. Beside him was an exaggeratedly large tower shield that probably weighed over a hundred catties.
Of the other two, one was a rare female knight. In this world, men were honored and women were looked down upon. Under normal circumstances, whether noble families or the Royal Family, they rarely allowed women to study Breathing Techniques, so true female knights were rarely seen.
This female knight was much more petite. She wore a suit of light leather armor that wrapped around her small but explosive figure. Paired with her curly golden hair and long, slender legs, she was truly eye-catching.
The last one was a middle-aged man. His weapon was a long spear, and at the moment, he was over by the stables feeding fodder to his beloved horse.
These three were all Formal Knights. At this moment, they had all gathered in Graf's mansion, clearly also for Graf's Bounty Commission.
"Lord White Wolf, allow me to introduce the other three companions in our operation this time. This fierce man as strong as a mountain is the Black Rhino Knight, this beautiful and elegant lady is the Red Spider Knight, and that gentleman feeding his horse is the Blue Falcon Knight."
"For this operation, we have gathered a full five Formal Knights, all to ensure that nothing goes wrong," Graf said with a smile, looking as if everything was already under control.
"What is the target of our operation this time?" Levi asked. Even now, Graf still had not said what they were going to do.
Graf shook his head. He went to a storehouse in the mansion, then opened the storehouse doors. Inside was a machine that took up quite a bit of space.
Levi took one look, and his expression changed slightly. This was a Military Armor-Piercing Crossbow used for large-scale warfare. It was said to be capable of tearing through Plate Armor, and even destroying flimsy city walls.
"The target of our operation this time is an Earth Dragon Beast," Graf said.
The moment Levi heard that, he turned and left.
