Chapter 367 Tracing The Footstep Of The Armored Knight To Find A Treasure (Part-3)

He couldn't understand his father-in-law. This was supposed to be about him, not what the villagers thought or what his in-laws wanted. He never submitted to peer or societal pressure. He only valued himself. His life was all about himself.

He was extremely selfish. It could be seen in the fact that the reason he was marrying the village head's daughter wasn't that he loved her. It was because she was beautiful, more so than the top-notch beauties he had seen in the northern frontier. If he married her, he would feel like an accomplished man. And a woman like her was in high demand. Maybe one of his higher would take a liking to her. Once he was done with her, it wouldn't be a bad idea to exchange her for a better position.

He thought all this while in the presence of his fiance, but she was so blinded by love that she didn't see the evil glints flashing in his eyes as he intensely stared at her with vile intentions.

Like any young and shy maiden, she blushed furiously when she noticed that she was being looked at by the person she had the hots for and was going to become the wife of.

The Armored Knight didn't want to blow up this chance, so he agreed to the village chief's request. They didn't want to look bad in front of the villagers, so he won't make them look bad.

'Everything's fine as long as I get this beauty in my bed.'

That's what the Armored Knight thought.

Remembering what was written about him, Roy felt disgusted. His stomach churned and twisted. He felt the urge to strangle him.

He thought, 'The Armored Knight was a psychopath since birth, but he realized that too early in life. His father was one too, and he taught him how to blend in with the community. Empathizing with others was the hardest thing for him. It was normal for him to smile at the idea of visiting someone's funeral when he was young and ignorant. His father advised him to copy the expression of others at moments like this. One time he didn't, and he was beaten badly for it. This was a hard-learned lesson, and because of it, he perfected his acting even further, becoming better than his father. That's the closest he came to ever being human. And when things ways out of control, he showed his real character.'

'If not for the guidance he received earlier in life, the empire would have realized he was trouble.

'They wouldn't have left this threat unchecked.'

'One thing is for certain. The Armored Knight is extremely narcissistic, and he is driven by lust. He would do anything just to get under the skirt of a woman.'

'What a disgusting man.'

Roy's lips twitched in disgust as he was reminded of the fact that the Armored Knight was the biggest rapist and murderer in the novel.

'It's necessary to clean the enemies inside the house before worrying about the ones outside. I can't wait for the invasion to begin and all hell to set loose to kill him. I need to take him out before that.'

Roy thought about it and squinted his eyes.

'The chance will arrive when he returns to the village to get married. In the novel, he gets lucky while roaming the wilderness. But now that I am here, I will steal not only his fortunate encounters but also his life!'

Dangerous.

His thoughts were too dangerous!

...

Further down north was the Northern Frontier. The closest County to it was Constantine County. A huge wall that stretched from East to West could be seen. Many weapons rested on top of it, but more than that was the number of soldiers.

"Achoo!" "Achoo!" "Achoo!"

One among them couldn't stop sneezing!

After sneezing for the nth time and wiping the snort dangling from his nose, he twitched his lips, "Is some bastard talking ill about me behind my back?"

He didn't know that he was being plotted against by a young man who could already rival aura monsters!

His enemy was in the dark, and he was out in the open.

It was no surprise what would happen! The future looked spicy!

...

"It's after the village head made his request that the Armored Knight set out to get a bride price. He was planning to exchange the meat and cores of magical beasts for her."

Roy lowered his eyes, retracing the Armored Knight's footsteps in his mind.

The Armored Knight agreed with the village head's request with a shadow of a smile, acting like he had no problem with it.

Actually, he had honed his killing techniques in the army and was a bonafide monster hunter. Three level 15 beasts were serving him. Calling them his pets or companions was a bit far-fetched. He had enslaved them using magic, corrupting their mind ruthlessly. It couldn't be called animal cruelty as this much was allowed for a mind mage.

It's just that he was a lazy bum. But killing a few monsters for a stunning beauty was a good deal in his eyes. So he moved.

Confidentially, he stepped into the wilderness with his slaves, promising his soon-to-be wife and father-in-law that he would return rich.

Thereafter, he came across a unique herb.

The Armored Knight was a soldier stationed at the northern frontier, a place famous for housing all sorts of things. It even had the world's second-most-famous library, which contained an encyclopedia of rare and unique herbs, shrubs, and fruits. It could be accessed by the students of the military academy. The empire had only one military academy, and the condition to join it was harsh. The active personnel stationed at the northern frontier could also go in and out of it without permission.

The Armored Knight wasn't a studious guy. Although it was complimentary, he never took advantage of it. He never once stepped foot inside the library, but he had seen many things during his stay in the military.

At a glance, he recognized the worth of the fruit.
