A baby dragon has built a nest outside the Novice Village

Chapter 18 Passing the test
"My Lord, I was wrong. I shouldn't have been rude to you."

The cavalry captain who was pinned to the ground was begging for mercy. He was just a first-class soldier, and even his position as captain was obtained through the backdoor.

He was completely unable to resist Reinhardt's strength and was pinned to the ground.

The pressure on his lungs increased, breathing became difficult, and he was about to suffocate.

At this time, a voice appeared in his ears.

"How much is your life worth?"

The pressure from above eased a little, allowing the cavalry captain to speak.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, how much would you pay for your life?"

Reinhardt exerted a little force on his hands, and the person being held down immediately began to howl in agony.

Reinhardt raised his tone, scaring the cavalry captain so much that he nodded repeatedly and hid the order document in his hand behind his back, fearing that Reinhardt would be unhappy and tear up the document.

Reinhardt also turned to look at the cavalry captain.

"Yes, the order documents have not been officially handed over yet, which means that the order to block the border has not officially taken effect here."

They were a mother and daughter. The mother's leg bone was broken, caused by being trampled by the crowd. The little girl's condition was not good either. Judging from the blood at the corner of her mouth, her internal organs should have been injured as well.

"It's barely warm enough yet, and it's already in the dragon's pocket."

After handing the healing potion to the mother and daughter, Reinhardt stood up and walked towards the border checkpoint.

"Do you have any other questions?"

"I had submitted the materials before the order was issued."

"But the new order is to block the border..."

With a sigh, Reinhardt threw the purse into his backpack, then took out a bottle of healing potion and walked forward. The crowd in front of him dispersed with some fear and made way.

“Have I completed my exit record?”

Reinhardt stood up and took the purse from the cavalry captain's waist. He weighed it and found that there were indeed about fifty gold coins in it. He weighed it again and found that the purse was obviously much lighter.

Soon, Reinhardt came in front of several people who were unable to make way for him.

The soldier suddenly realized that Reinhardt's materials were still in his hands, and the exit record was only half completed.

"make a deal."

Reinhardt's tone was steady, but it did not sound like that at all to the soldiers at the checkpoint. He looked at the cavalry captain standing beside him, with the written order still on him.

"Ah, leaving the country?"

Reinhardt looked back at the soldier at the checkpoint in front of him and forced a smile.

"Let's share the drink. It should make you feel better."

"Am I right!"

"All of it. I'll give you all the money I have. There are more than fifty gold coins."

The soldier looked at Reinhardt, then at the cavalry captain, who was winking at him frantically, asking him to let him pass.

The soldier could only hand Reinhardt's certificate back to him.

"My lord, you may go now."

Reinhardt took the certificate and took Lania with him, and walked through the checkpoint of the outpost.

The soldier hesitated for a moment, but in the end did not call out to the two men.

"I haven't seen her proof yet..." He could only mutter quietly, and then he and his colleagues closed the door of the checkpoint behind them.

"Phew, I'm so scared!"

Reinhardt finally breathed a sigh of relief when the checkpoint disappeared into the horizon behind him.

When he heard that the border was going to be closed, he was terrified.

If we are trapped here, it is only a matter of time before we are found by pursuers, and then we will have no choice but to force our way through.

Although it is possible for him and Lannia to force their way through with their strength, if they do so, there will be a wanted poster with Reinhardt's face on it in all human settlements.

Reinhardt still has some self-awareness. There are many adventurers in the kingdom who are stronger than him. It is too difficult to escort Lannia back to the capital when she is wanted. Maybe he can take on the challenge after he reaches level 10.

But forget it now.

"That was a good performance just now."

That's right, all that was just acting. This level of offense was not enough to arouse Reinhardt's anger. He was just taking advantage of the situation and using his power reasonably and legally to make the other party fall into fear.

Once in fear, the human brain will prioritize self-preservation, ignore details that are not related to saving life, and easily compromise.

Reinhardt simply applied pressure and successfully passed this level.

"Thanks for the compliment, just some tips for your adventure."

Most adventurers have similar little tricks, and the young and inexperienced ones can't go far here. Reinhardt has seen many guys with some ability who couldn't even get a task like "solving the wild wolf's lair outside the village", and finally could only cancel their adventurer credentials and return home in shame.

"But are you really short of money?"

Lania tilted her head and looked at Reinhardt with a hint of confusion in her eyes.

"If the person on the other side is a money-grubber, this kind of pressure will only backfire."

There are quite a few people like this who value money more than their own lives. If you dare to take his gold coins, he will fight you to the death.

"Well, I'm really short of money."

Reinhardt scratched his head. To him, this was not something that needed to be avoided.

“I have a lot of debt.”

"How did you get it on your back?"

Reinhardt raised his head and tried to recall.

"Destroyed a dragon's lair and then borrowed some of its collectibles?"

The way Lanya looked at Reinhardt changed. After spending some time together, she could tell that Reinhardt was not the kind of person who liked to make jokes.

"Well, you are... pretty brave then."

Lania's mind had already emerged with the scene where Reinhardt fought the dragon for three hundred rounds and then forced him to lend out his collection.

Lania quickly shook her head and threw this magical picture out of her mind. She had no idea how to continue this topic. She could only laugh and hurriedly ended the topic.

The young dragon that had fought Reinhardt for three hundred rounds was concentrating on observing the group of goblins in his territory.

His spirit was attached to a wizard's eye, and he didn't even hear the sound of gold coins falling to the ground behind him.

He seemed to have some understanding of why there were so many mutants in this goblin camp.

Under Krigo's leadership, this group of goblins actually learned to protect women and children.

Compared with yesterday, there are twelve more baby goblins in the camp. According to the conclusions of general research, at least 80% of these baby goblins will die due to the goblins' "extensive" parenting style.

But under the care of several female goblins arranged by Krigo, only one of these young goblins died.
