The Knight from the Fairytales

Chapter 5: I Picked Up a Dragon

After helping the Frog Prince, although Beihai didn't really do anything except knock on a door, he had a feeling that if he stayed there longer, both the Frog Prince and the little Princess would sincerely thank him, then reward him with gold and silver, and then want Beihai to follow the Prince.

However, after mooching one dinner, Beihai left directly.

He didn't wait for the Prince and little Princess to finish their business, nor did he intend to mooch another wedding banquet.

Beihai felt he actually hadn't helped at all—he had just made the Prince and little Princess finish their business one day earlier.

The more important reason was that rather than wasting time there, getting entangled with the Prince, King, and Princess, it was better to continue his journey to find the protagonists in stories.

Of course, such deeds would definitely spread after the Prince and that little Princess finished their business. He helped with their business without seeking reward and left directly.

Without even seeing them one last time, they would definitely tell the guards, tell the surrounding elves and animals.

He could easily imagine how they would phrase it: "If you see that Knight, please help me thank him."

Clearly, the gains from this time were quite significant, otherwise Beihai wouldn't have left so quickly.

When he opened the system panel, ignoring the ordinary attribute bonuses, he looked at the special ability.Third Novice Critical Hit: Paladin's Blessing. In this state, you are unaffected by any curses.

With this blessing, Beihai didn't need to be so afraid and cautious when facing Wizards anymore.

Before obtaining this blessing, whenever he encountered a Wizard, Beihai was somewhat apprehensive. After all, they didn't compete in physical strength—with just one spell, you could potentially turn into a frog or some other animal.

The methods to break curses were enough to exhaust you thoroughly. You might even have to marry into their family.

But now Beihai could beat an old Wizard to death with three punches. Now he would deal with Wizard matters.

He would deal with ordinary people's matters.

He would deal with those protagonists' matters.

He just liked meddling in others' business!

This was the courage given by the "act first, report later" blessing power. Of course, he still had to be cautious against those tricky curses, after all, exploiting bugs was common in this world.

What if some genius exploited a bug and got themselves bugged? There would be nowhere to cry.

For example, the classic "invulnerable to swords and spears," "cannot be harmed by anything in the world," then someone thinks, "Then I'll create a new species that isn't among the world's myriad things."

Then by exploiting the bug, they directly turn into a new species—a wild boar—and gore that person to death.

Beihai used his own legs to travel overnight. If not for his good physical constitution, to be more precise, the attribute bonuses,

He perfectly achieved "hundred kilometers fuel consumption" requiring just over ten fruits, several large bowls of rice, and some vegetables.

All this could be attributed to Beihai having a very good reputation. Although he didn't know how news spread in this world,

Undoubtedly, whenever he was hungry, small animals would spontaneously give Beihai food.

Even if the weather was approaching winter, those animals would even take out some of their winter food supplies for Beihai.

Some food could be accepted without any psychological pressure, but some couldn't be taken. He had to grasp the proper measure properly. Simply put, he had to sustainably drain the pond to catch all the fish.

And now, with Hear All Things' Voices, Beihai's relationship with these animals would only grow closer.

Beihai picked some fruits and advanced following the animals' guidance.

As he walked, he heard the small animals say: "Not far ahead, you can reach a kingdom.

The King there is holding a celebration, the entire nation is rejoicing. That King is very generous, he has invited many, many people.

He didn't just invite friends, relatives, and acquaintances—even powerful Witches have been invited.

Traveling Knight, why not go take a look?"

Hearing the animals' words, Beihai became interested. After all, there were indeed many kingdoms here—sometimes a castle with a few villages around it counted as a kingdom.

But this didn't mean there were no powerful kingdoms. This time, following the animals' guidance, he might actually see one.

The main thing was, in the past, if Beihai heard there were Witches, he definitely wouldn't go. But now with this confidence, he still wanted to go see how strong those Witches were.

Beihai couldn't help but quicken his pace. Of course, while walking quickly, he still had to watch his step. To put it nicely, this was called reverence for the life of nature.

To put it bluntly, although it only added 0.01 attribute value, even a mosquito's meat is still meat.

Just then, Beihai discovered an interesting creature. It had golden scales, huge wings, and a ferocious dragon head that displayed its majesty.

Except it was somewhat small—really exceptionally small. Even standing up, it only reached Beihai's calf height, maybe even a bit less.

Beihai stopped and looked at the little thing in front of him. Uncontrollably, he reached out and poked it. The golden shell-like exterior was somewhat hard.

But also seemed somewhat soft. Dissatisfied, Beihai directly picked up the little thing with his hands, then felt its belly.

This was a Golden Scale Dragon. Unfortunately, it was born small, without the tall stature of a giant dragon...

But it was equally an adult dragon, with the same strong desire for wealth as all dragonkin!

So it would do everything possible to obtain treasure...

Like tugging at someone's pant leg, then extending its little claw while saying: "Give some money."

And now this giant dragon had actually been captured by a Knight. According to tradition, they would either fight to the death,

With its head being cut off and taken by the Knight as a trophy and legend,

Or unite with the other party, becoming the legendary Dragon Rider.

Golden Scale Dragons in this world, because of their golden appearance, would be captured by hunters.

Even farm children could easily capture this dragon, so Knights wouldn't cut off its head, nor would they become Dragon Riders with it—after all, they still needed to maintain some dignity.

Of course, because this type of dragon was easy to capture, it could also become a dish. They were already quite rare, considered a precious species.

Beihai didn't expect to encounter this guy—this could be considered an unexpected delight.

Some food could be accepted without any psychological pressure, but some couldn't be taken. He had to grasp the balance properly. Simply put, he had to sustainably drain the pond to catch all the fish.

Beihai almost slipped up. After all, it wouldn't be good to accept money directly after helping—he had to maintain his persona, right? But with this dragon, it was different, and this dragon was very weak.

For Beihai, this guy was definitely a money bag!

That little dragon also started tearing up, making Beihai somewhat uncomfortable. He subconsciously rubbed his nose, feeling like this guy was selling itself out and would even help Beihai count the money.
