Although this was Han Dong's first time participating in the training, he might not understand many of the 'hidden rules.'
However, from Deputy Leader Hydra's introduction of the rules.
The NPC knights scattered around the manor would only provide some of the most basic missions, and the points they could obtain were relatively few.
Of course.
The team also had to rely on this series of basic missions to slowly touch the 'surface secrets of the manor' and gradually delve deeper.
If they wanted to touch the intermediate, high-level, hidden missions, or the most crucial [Core Mission], they would need to complete a large number of prerequisite missions, or find some kind of item or clue on their own.
Variability and randomness were explored from shallow to deep, layer by layer.
Han Dong could easily deduce that the knight legion had been to the [Stuart Manor] a long time ago.
They spent a lot of effort to transform this place into a systematic 'camp' to reduce the difficulty of apprentice knights living outside the city to a certain extent, and to assist the players in fully exploring the manor.
In order to nurture the next generation, the Holy City had put in a lot of effort.
…
Inside the residence.
The task of setting up the barrier was handed over to Mia.
As a result, the exterior of the building was covered with spider webs, adding a sense of strangeness and eeriness to the originally dilapidated foundation. There were even small spiders crawling on the surface of the outer wall.
Once an outsider approached, these spiders would take the initiative to attack.
Together with the candles and witchcraft array set up in the inner layer, a more complete barrier was set up.
Han Dong, who had some free time, conducted a thorough inspection of the building.
After all, the small town was also included in the manor's area.
In the introduction of the knights, it did not mention that this miniature town was a safe zone … There might be danger inside, and all risks had to be eliminated before living there.
Of course, there might also be clues that could help investigate the truth of the manor.
Han Dong let the 'Little Magic Eye' operate in secret.
When he searched the basement attached to this room, he noticed something unusual.
Following Han Dong's shout, everyone gathered.
Dong dong dong!
Han Dong stretched out his hand and knocked on the eastern wall. This kind of hollow sound meant that this was a hollow wall.
There was no need for Blacksmith Wen Li to do it.
Han Dong activated some of the characteristics of his right arm and used his sharp claws and strength to easily destroy this hollow wall.
The situation inside the wall stunned everyone present.
"This is!!"
A large number of rotting corpses were embedded in the walls.
Moreover, the corpses were not only embedded in the wall that Han Dong had cut open … The walls around the basement were also filled with similar corpses. It was extremely strange.
It felt as if the walls of the basement were built with corpses as the foundation.
However, Han Dong was not looking for these corpses. There were other secrets hidden in the wall that Han Dong knocked open.
"Step back a little. There might be a 'leakage of corruption' …"
Everyone retreated one by one.
Han Dong forcefully pulled out several rotting corpses embedded in the wall.
A small passage covered in vines that was only 1.2 meters tall and wide enough for one person to pass through appeared in front of everyone.
Han Dong tried to peer into the depths of the small hole.
Hiss ~ ~
He could faintly feel that something was looking at him from the depths.
Danger!!
"Wen Li, Mia, come and help! Put the corpses back in … "
Han Dong immediately placed the corpses that he had just pulled out back in their original positions. Mia used her spider silk to secure them in place. Finally, Wen Li used a piece of metal to seal up the wall again.
"Student Nicholas, do you feel danger?"
"Yes … there's something in the depths of the cave.
Furthermore, the direction of the cave just so happens to be towards the ancient castle on the hill … there might be some connection between the two. Who knows, we might even touch upon the middle level or high level secrets of the large manor.
As of now, we haven't even touched upon the most basic of missions. I believe that it would be better to seal this place up for the time being.
I suspect that these corpses sealed within the walls are a natural seal … the family that used to live here might have used this method to sever some special connection with the Great Lord of Stuart.
Before we have any basic information about the manor, or before we receive any missions related to this place, it would be best for everyone not to come into contact with it. "
"Yes! Let's go to the surface. "
Captain Abel, who was standing rather far away, had used his unique beast senses to sense a certain amount of danger when he tried to peer into the cave.
"It's a little scary … we're actually living in a place like this."
Blacksmith Wen Li had goosebumps when she thought of the corpses piled up within the walls of the basement.
After all, they would be living in this house for the next week.
However.
Wen Li glanced at the captain and vice-captain. Both of them appeared to be very reliable. As long as everyone could sleep together, she would feel at ease.
Once a residence was occupied and a barrier was set up, according to the rules of the knight order, other small teams were not allowed to snatch it from them.
Basically, all of the small teams had already settled down.
Other than the knight teams that were rushing back and forth on the streets, trying to receive various missions.
There were also some Night Watchers who wore black cloaks and carried kerosene lamps as they patrolled the streets and alleys.
"Abel … what kind of position do these Night Watchers who are patrolling the manor have?"
"They patrol for safety and provide special missions.
When we trigger an important point, the Night Watchers will find us.
Of course, their main duty is to protect our safety and prevent 'big things' from sneaking into the town at night and causing harm to us. "
"Yes."
"Follow me … although everyone's treatment is the same, I know the NPCs here. However, I know all the Knights who are NPCs here. They won't make things difficult for us when we accept some basic quests.
In the early stages, we can appropriately 'speed up the progress'. "
Abel used his unique sense of smell to find a fixed target.
Unlike the other small teams who were receiving missions in the town, Abel did not stop along the way and came to the wheat field at the border of the town.
During this time, Han Dong, who was wearing a bird's mask, secretly observed everything around him. The conversation between the students and the knights, the structure of each building, the composition of the streets, and all the details that could be collected were stored in his brain.
In the dilapidated field of dried straw, other than the scarecrow, there was also a small and shabby wooden house.
As the group approached.
Only a creak was heard!
A woman wrapped in rags and holding a black candle with a huge aquiline nose suddenly poked her head out and stared at Captain Abel with her eagle-like eyes.
"Aunt Bardo, do you have any good missions for us here?"
"Abel … you brat! Your grandfather said that I can't give you special treatment. Hurry back to the city and find others. My missions here are more difficult. You'd better not touch them. "
"Then I won't look for Aunt Bardo to practice 'Eagle Language' in the future."
"Brat, you dare to threaten me … Come in! I can give you missions, but you have to bear the corresponding huge risks. "
