“Anything!” said Ofia hastily with a flicker in her eyes.

‘One request is nothing. So long as I can be free of this curse, I’ll agree to however many requests he has!’

“Your Majesty, please hear me out. It’s not too late for you to consider this carefully.” Lei Yuan stayed calm. He did not allow Ofia’s emotions to affect him. “My request is to be given a position with actual power, and to be put in the battlefield during the next attack by the enemy country.”

At present, he needed to improve himself and at the same time, he needed a place to display his strength. Then would it not be most suitable for him to be on the battlefield?

Ofia was shocked by this. She even suspected that she had misheard. “You want to fight on the battlefield?!”

Ordinary people would avoid going to the battlefield. Although she had indeed thought of letting Lei Yuan lead the army to fight against the enemy, when he actually proposed it himself, she was suddenly hesitant to agree.

This was too strange. Ofia even speculated, ‘What if Lei Yuan ran away during the battle? Then I would be doomed, wouldn’t I?’

She would never allow such a thing to happen!

“Yes. It’s fine, isn’t it?” Lei Yuan’s expression was indifferent, but it held a hint of solemness. “With my strength, it shouldn’t be a problem for me to be a general or something, right? Or do you doubt my ability?”

‘I’ve obviously subdued the evil dragon. Based on this point alone, I should be able to get a position as a high-ranking official, right?’ Lei Yuan did not know what the rules of this world were.

Ofia hurriedly explained, “You are a warrior of our country. It’s not that I don’t trust you. It’s just…”

‘Is it really alright for him to go to the battlefield in his current state?’

As she thought about it, Ofia probed, “Warrior Lei Yuan, perhaps you can request something else. I will try my best to grant it.”

Lei Yuan did not expect her to turn down his request. According to his observations, the dispute between this country and the enemy country had been going on for quite a long time. Moreover, the enemy country had been the ones to attack, while the Aifell Empire lacked a general who could lead.

Ofia should have no reason to reject him.

“I have no other requests. Your Majesty, as long as you give me this position, I will do my best to help you resolve the curse.”

With this, Ofia could no longer refuse.

She had already intended for him to lead the army. Since it aligned with her wishes and also satisfied his requirements, she had no good reason to refuse it.

“Alright, I shall grant your request. From now on, you are a knight of our country!”

Lei Yuan twitched the corner of his mouth at the name; it felt a bit cheesy and over-the-top. However, since he had gotten what he wanted, Lei Yuan did not say anything more and returned his attention to the little dragon.

Ofia had wanted to ask him about the removal of the curse, but she was worried that if she pushed too hard, Lei Yuan might actually run away.

After thinking about it, she decided to put it off for another time. As long as he was still in this country, in this world, she still had a chance. Ofia turned and left his room.

After Lei Yuan got what he wanted, he did not delay for even a moment. He was going to battle from now on. He needed to hurry and cultivate to improve himself.

However, Lei Yuan was met with an unwelcome surprise as someone came to disturb him. It was still that arrogant loli.

“You, come with me!”

‘This voice again…’ Lei Yuan chose to ignore it and continued his cultivation.

Lotti rarely received such treatment. In her own country, she was admired by everyone, and she could throw tantrums in front of others. Who would dare to give her the cold shoulder?

This Lei Yuan was really bold!

“Did you hear me? Come with me!” Lotti stepped forward and was about to pull Lei Yuan away.

“Get lost!” Lei Yuan had no choice but to stop cultivating. “What do you want?”

“Come with me!”

Lei Yuan became curious and wanted to see what this little loli wanted to do. Thus, he left the room with her and came to the hall. He saw that many people were present. This included people from other countries as well as people from their own country.

Lotti walked to the center of the hall, turned around, and pointed at Lei Yuan. “I wish to fight you!”

‘What?’ Lei Yuan stared at her in confusion.

“If you lose, you will take me as your master!” Lotti looked very confident. She did not believe that she could not defeat this ordinary man with her ability!

“Um… Ambassador Lotti, now that Warrior Lei Yuan is a knight of our country, I’m afraid it’s inappropriate for you to do this,” someone said to her. It was not because he wanted to help Lei Yuan, but because this involved the reputation of the country. If Lei Yuan lost, it would be a slap to their country’s face!

Moreover, he doubted that Lei Yuan could actually win.

“Yeah, this… If Warrior Lei Yuan really loses and our country’s knight becomes your disciple… It’s preposterous!”

With one hand on her waist, Lotti snorted coldly, “Humph! What’s so ridiculous about that? He will become my disciple. Won’t that represent the friendship between our two countries?”

Anyway, in her opinion, she would definitely not lose!

“Uh…” No one knew what to say.

“I accept,” Lei Yuan suddenly said, which shocked everyone.

‘Does he know what he’s agreeing to?’

After getting the answer she wanted, Lotti was very happy and smiled like a child. “Good!”

Lei Yuan thought that if he did not fight with her, she would probably pester him endlessly. He might as well take this opportunity to duel with her so that she would not bother him in the future.

However, the other people there shook their heads. Of course, there were also some who were gloating.

Lotti was the most talented mage in nearly a hundred years, and she had never lost a battle even once.It was impossible for Lei Yuan to win.

“Humph! It’s just the right time to let him suffer a little. Otherwise, he would think that he’s actually very powerful.”

Many of the people in court were already unhappy with Lei Yuan because of how much Ofia favored him, and they wanted to take the opportunity to mock him.

“Of course not, even if Lei Yuan doesn’t win, it doesn’t matter. Just don’t lose face for our country!”

“If he insists on pretending to be strong even though he doesn’t have the ability, what can we do? All we can do is pray that he doesn’t lose too badly.”

Lei Yuan could hear the gloating voices of the people around him clearly.However, he did not take it to heart. It would not be difficult to defeat this little loli.

“Let’s begin.”

The two of them quickly exchanged blows. Lotti did not even take Lei Yuan seriously. When she made her move, she did so carelessly, as if she were playing with a child.

“Give up! You can’t beat me!”

When he saw her attack, Lei Yuan knew that she definitely underestimated him and was being careless.

He wanted to make use of this! Lei Yuan immediately pulled out his divine weapon to fight her.

No one had expected that the two of them would be able to clash with each other for so many rounds. Even Lotti was surprised. She did not expect Lei Yuan to be this capable.

After realizing what was happening, she tried to use her real abilities but found that it was already too late.

Lei Yuan suddenly used his weapon and pressed it against her neck. She did not even realize what had happened.

The audience was shocked.”This… How is this possible?”

Lei Yuan sheathed his weapon and turned around to say sardonically, “Now, who is the one who has disgraced their country?”
