[Ghoul Case]
Han Dong's curiosity was piqued.
"Even the Holy City isn't completely safe? Ghouls … Why would a monster from western literature appear in a house?
According to the apprentice knight, it seemed that there was a bounty issued by a relevant organization behind the case. As long as one could solve the case, they would receive a certain amount of money.
He must have estimated the strength of the ghoul based on the damage done to the corpse. It might be difficult for him to deal with it alone, so he decided to recruit a teammate.
If I help, I can use this opportunity to understand the case and the reason why monsters appear in private houses. At the same time, I can also learn about the bounty and receive a certain amount of money. Right now, I'm really short on money.
But there are also risks … It's easy to be exposed. Plus, I haven't officially entered the academy, so dealing with ghouls might be dangerous. "
Han Dong didn't take any action against the golden-haired young knight's temporary recruitment order.
He hadn't officially entered the Knight Academy, so he hadn't received any training in mysticism. Apart from the tentacle attack that came with the Faceless Head, he didn't know any mystical skills.
"Wait … If it's against enemies, I have one!"
…
After waiting for about five minutes, the young knight felt helpless.
"Apprentice knights are mostly studying in the academy. Even if they go out, they won't 'descend' to the civilian district to waste their time.
The bounty only mentioned that there was a suspected theft of a corpse in the cemetery between the civilian district of Ghana and the civilian district of Samar … Since it wasn't too long ago, we were asked to come and capture a newly born ghoul that had fallen into depravity.
From the depth of the scratches and the residue of the fungus on the corpse, it must be an adult ghoul.
The news has already been sent back to the academy, and the bounty has been increased … But if I go back to find a team now, this ghoul might slip away.
A large amount of copper coins as a reward, plus extra credits, I really don't want to give it up!
But I can't joke with my life. "
The young knight put away his sword, as if he didn't want to enter the house to investigate … As long as he was alive, there would be opportunities. Especially since he was already studying in the academy, there was no need to take this risk.
At this moment, a skinny, brown-haired young man slowly squeezed out of the crowd.
He was wearing a slightly oversized linen shirt.
Under his yellowed skin, the lines on his bones were clearly visible.
"Dangerous area, prohibited …"
Just as a security officer was about to use brute force to push Han Dong back into the crowd, a golden card was handed over.
"Novice Knight!!"
For a moment, the security personnel stared at Han Dong in surprise and took the initiative to make way for him.
"I don't know if I can help."
After some consideration, Han Dong determined that the benefits of helping outweighed the disadvantages.
"How many points do you have in your major?"
The young knight walked over and examined Han Dong from head to toe … To be honest, even those nerds who majored in [Library] were in better physical condition than Han Dong.
"Two points of [Mysticism]. My name is Alan Andwa." Han Dong purposely used a fake name since he couldn't find out anything about it now.
"Two points … just enough. However, the [Mystic Arts] that you practice will be a little troublesome to deal with ghouls in this limited space.
Let me introduce myself.
My name is Cass Maldini. I've already allocated three Fate Points to Crusader … My Strength and Speed allow me to fight the typical ghoul head-on.
However, this was where the problem lay.
You'll know when you come over. "
Under Cass's guidance, the two of them came to the female owner who was hanging by the door.
"When I first received the bounty, it only mentioned 'newborn ghouls.'
However, the wounds on the corpse indicate that the ghoul hiding in this building is already mature … I even suspect that this family is deliberately concealing the truth and secretly rearing ghouls in the basement.
Mature ghouls are slightly better than me in all aspects.
The most troublesome thing is their vitality! If I can't chop off their head or penetrate their heart, other attacks won't be able to stop the ghoul. "
"Hmm …"
As Han Dong listened, he examined the claw-shaped wounds on the female owner's body.
The area that was torn apart by the sharp claws is showing signs of gangrene, swelling of the cells, and severe obstruction of blood circulation … Even if it's not fatal, just a scratch is enough to cause a quick death.
Is this a ghoul? No wonder this novice knight doesn't dare to carry out missions alone.
The danger is greater than I imagined. Once injured and not treated in time, there's a high chance of death.
"Andwa, tell me about your abilities. If you're more inclined towards prediction and investigation like astrology, then forget about it. "
Han Dong was very direct.
He took out a short blade that was surrounded by a green aura.
This made Cass in front of him reveal a shocked expression, "A Weapon of Fate that suits your main element!? What does it do? "
"It can release a non-directional plague attack."
"Plague … Ghouls may have a certain resistance to it.
However, since it's a Weapon of Fate, it must have some effect. Alright, when we fight later, you must listen to my commands and don't act rashly … Also, your body isn't very good, you must hide behind me. "
"Okay."
Cass secretly pulled Han Dong's sleeve and asked in a low voice, "Cough cough, by the way … How did you get this Weapon of Fate?"
"Hidden event."
"As expected! I knew it, those guys didn't believe me!
From the Cards of Fate that have a small probability of obtaining a weapon from the main event, the probability of obtaining a weapon is pitifully low. You must do your best to explore the hidden event and obtain a Weapon of Fate from the hidden reward … I really envy you.
Although my sword and shield are made of pure silver and have a certain exorcism effect, it's still far from a Weapon of Fate.
Wait for me.
I'll have the security personnel here bring their guns and surround the building! This is to prevent the ghouls from suddenly escaping while we are fighting. "
From the way Cass spoke and the way he handled things, it was obvious that this wasn't the first time he accepted this kind of bounty mission.
After arranging the personnel, the body of the female master was wrapped in a body bag and transported to the church for purification and cremation.
Everything was ready.
Han Dong followed behind Cass and stepped into the Victorian-style villa.
As soon as he entered the door, he could smell the stench of rotten flesh.
Cass was slightly uncomfortable, but Han Dong was completely fine.
After all, Han Dong was a man who dealt with bacteria all day long when he was alive. Once there was a problem with the bacteria culture, that smell … could immediately make people want to diet and lose weight.
"Where's your goggles?"
Cass took out the necessary brass goggles from his waist and put them on.
"I didn't bring them …"
"You … Aren't you afraid of death? Once you've been mentally contaminated, it's not as simple as relieving 'pressure' … Fortunately, when I went out today, I also brought a spare pair of goggles with me. Take them. "
"Thank you."
Han Dong took the goggles and quickly put them on.
Cass said, "You're a mystic, so you should know more about [Ghouls] than I do … Although they are transformed from humans, they have a certain connection with the things outside the city walls. Wear the goggles properly!
Once they're damaged, immediately withdraw from the battle. "
"Okay."
Han Dong didn't understand at all.
After listening to Cass, he became more curious about the use of the goggles and the higher life forms that occupied this world.
