There was no warning at all.
Even Han Dong and Senior Sister Zhen didn't notice it …
The old man appeared and stretched out his hand to stop him.
Han Dong instantly felt a great sense of danger, as if he were standing in a valley of ten thousand corpses. He instinctively retreated quickly … His inner shirt was completely soaked in sweat.
Han Dong had seen all kinds of powerful beings, but he had never seen such a dangerous person.
The old man, whom Senior Sister Zhen called master, was an expert in dealing with people. With a slight movement of his finger, he could lock onto a person's weakness and completely kill Han Dong.
It was precisely because of this that Han Dong felt danger.
"Oh … Your senses are much sharper than a Knight of the same level. As expected of Crow's student."
The old man in the dark approved of Han Dong's instinctive action of dodging.
The black shadow gradually dispersed.
The old man slowly revealed his true appearance.
Only a few bandages were wrapped around his arms. The ends of the bandages were completely connected to his skin, as if they were part of his skin.
A thin and simple black tights contrasted with the old man's thin body.
He wore a pair of plain cloth shoes under his loose black trousers.
His face was that of an old man in his seventies, with a pale white pupil in the center of his pure black eyes.
Being stared at by such eyes made Han Dong feel uncomfortable all over.
"Master, I …" Senior Sister Zhen bit her lower lip slightly and began to reflect on her actions.
"The problem with your state of mind is obvious from this incident. If you embarrass me in the Black Rose Knighthood in the future, I'll personally write to Kodan and strip you of your knighthood."
"Yes …" Senior Sister Zhen lowered her head, a teardrop seemingly welling up in her eyes.
Senior Sister Zhen quickly calmed herself down.
Since her master was here, she had to act as a middleman and introduce him.
After all … there was no information about her mentor on the Mystery Branch's teacher board.
Most Mystery Branch apprentices didn't know about this person's existence.
"Nicholas … This is my first mentor, Professor Grantham Leslie, a lifelong honorary professor of the Mystery Branch.
He's also the Great Necropolis Supervisor, the Grandmaster of the Shadow Stream Sect, and the former commander-in-chief of the Night Watchers. "
"Greetings, Professor Leslie!"
After hearing so many names, Han Dong guessed that this hidden professor was probably as powerful as the witch.
Also, the title of [Former Commander-in-Chief of the Night Watchers] was enough to prove that this person's position in the Holy City was terrifyingly high.
The Night Watchers were a special organization in the Sacred City. They were special among the investigators.
He could 'secretly' deal with many troublesome matters and maintain the stability of the Holy City.
Han Dong had completed the night watcher mission during the knight training period. In the future, when he applied for his investigator license, he could choose to walk the path of a night watcher.
"It's my disciple's loss this time …"
"Master …" Senior Sister Zhen whispered, but she didn't say it out loud.
"As a reward for your victory, your 'summoned creature' is qualified to stay here … She can join the most basic Shadow Stream learning, but only learn basic techniques."
"Thank you, Professor!"
"I secretly watched the whole process of your sparring. Although your 'summoned creature' is a human, it doesn't belong to the Holy City. Interesting …
Hehe.
The reason why I'm willing to stay in the Mystery Branch is because the crow and I are 'birds of a feather' in some ways. If we stick to the rules, we won't be able to escape the shackles of the Holy City. In the end, we still won't be able to escape the fate of extinction.
It's necessary to make some changes and take some risks. "
From what Professor Leslie had said, it seemed that he had guessed that Chen Li had come from the destiny space.
At the same time, the reason why this Professor Leslie had hidden himself in the depths of the big graveyard and had been stripped of his title as Commander-in-Chief of the Night Watchers might also have something to do with his personality.
"Thank you for your trust, Professor."
"Go back and tell that crow that 'Zhen' was selected by Kodan as the fifth pick to join the Black Rose Knights. This kind of result is pretty good.
Tell him to fight for as many resources as possible from the higher-ups so that the Mystery Branch won't continue to be in such dire straits. "
"Okay …"
Han Dong's plan went unexpectedly smoothly.
Chen Li had to stay in the Shadow Stream Sect to do all kinds of basic learning.
Han Dong believed that given Chen Li's foundation, she would definitely be able to accumulate enough experience to make a big difference in two months.
Of course … because of this matter, he had offended Senior Sister Zhen once again.
Han Dong was also well aware that Senior Sister Zhen had actually held back during the exchange of pointers, but there was nothing he could do about the outcome.
… …
After this matter was settled.
During the summer break, Wen Li and Mia contacted Han Dong to discuss the destiny space.
Abel had already invested 5 points into Control and had entered the Seed Destruction stage, so he didn't contact Han Dong.
Han Dong used all kinds of excuses to reject the two girls.
Wen Li was quite simple. Han Dong simply said that he wanted her to become more independent and gain more experience … the naive Wen Li was full of fighting spirit, and said that she would work hard.
Mia was a little more troublesome, and would pester Han Dong every day.
This was because Mia knew very well that as long as Han Dong was around, the difficulty of the destiny events would be reduced to the greatest extent, and she would also be able to reap greater benefits.
"Mia, I have my own ideas this time. I will definitely lead the team next time. "
"Next time … you might not even be able to see me next time, sob sob sob."
"I recommend someone similar to me to lead the team, and you will also be able to reap the greatest benefits … it might even be better than following me."
"Who?"
"Demps Martin."
"Bah … no!"
Mia had a face full of pride. She had once had a conflict with Demps … and because of Han Dong's existence, she wasn't interested in Demps at all.
Moreover, she and Demps didn't have the same values.
"Then you can form your own team, and bring Wen Li … find a destiny space that suits you. You are only a little bit away from reaching the Seed Destruction stage, so you just have to play it safe. "
"Then … lend me something, since you rarely use it anyway."
Mia pointed at the "Coral Seal" on Han Dong's finger, an accessory that could provide protection and enhance weapons.
"It is indeed useless to me, 300 copper coins, I will sell it to you for a cheap price."
"Do we need money for our relationship?" Mia immediately made a funny face.
"Do you want it? Because you missed the best opportunity, it has now risen to 400 copper coins … if you don't want it, I will just throw it at the auction house."
"Nicholas, you are shameless!"
"500 copper coins."
"I will buy it!"
Mia was very angry during the transfer process, but in fact, she was still making a profit … this kind of blue quality accessory could easily be sold for 1000 copper coins.
And Han Dong, who didn't have a weapon, had no use for the ring.
"Boss, I hope you will get more purple equipment and successfully clear the game."
"I hate you!!" Mia was so angry that she turned around and left.
"Phew … after pestering me for 20 days, I finally got rid of her! I will have a good rest tonight, and tomorrow I will find Mr. Black And White and activate the solo mode. "
