(To explain the doubts mentioned in the previous chapter.
The probiotic fungus grows in Han Dong's body. Through 'bridging,' 'assisting blood transport,' and other auxiliary methods, the protagonist's body reaches the standard of a normal person. It's like wearing an exoskeleton to enhance the body's functions. It doesn't integrate into the cells and isn't a part of the body. It won't increase the weight.)
Main Text:
Cass's enthusiasm had no other meaning.
The ghoul mission a week ago.
As the exploration deepened, the event target changed from newborn ghouls to mature ghouls, and then led to a small-scale ghoul lair. The difficulty directly increased to a level that Cass couldn't complete alone.
During the mission.
The handling of many important aspects depended on Han Dong's ability to adapt.
Moreover, when Cass was injured, Han Dong actually killed a mature ghoul by himself. The scene of the malicious spirit appearing at the end was still imprinted in Cass's mind.
In Cass's opinion.
Han Dong was definitely a top student in the Mystery Branch and had endless potential.
After a round of greetings, Cass still had one arm on Han Dong's shoulder and turned to look at the team members.
"This is the Mystery Branch genius I mentioned, Aaron Andwa. He's only two stars, but he has now obtained a suitable 'Weapon of Destiny' through a hidden event.
It has two abilities: plague attack and evil spirit summoning.
The ghoul lair incident last time was all thanks to the help of Andwa's friend.
Otherwise, I might not be able to meet everyone. "
Cass gave a very high evaluation.
However, the higher the evaluation, the closer the relationship between Cass and Han Dong. Sitting on the other side, the more jealous Sofia became. She even began to feel hostility toward Han Dong. It was the kind of hostility that was unique between love rivals.
After the introduction, Han Dong also removed his beak costume and pretended to smile.
In fact, Han Dong initially thought that he would only meet Cass. He didn't expect that there would be other Trainee Knights here.
Based on the current scene, Han Dong thought, The purpose of calling me here shouldn't be just about the bounty mission. It's very likely that it involves the Realm of Destiny in a week.
The purpose of asking me to carry out the bounty mission this time is to further understand my ability.
Cass trusts me, but it doesn't mean that the other members of the team can trust me.
Cass continued to turn to his team members.
"Let me introduce you, this is my companion who went through the Destiny Realm with me."
Cass first pointed to the girl with wavy blonde hair.
From her clothing, jewelry, and flawless skin, it was obvious that she was born into an extraordinary family. She should be the eldest daughter of some family.
"Kate Sophia. Three-star [Library]. Specializes in Holy Light-type spells. Can release healing spells multiple times … When fighting against Darkness-type monsters, she can also become a main combatant."
Fei Ya still had an arrogant look on her face. It was difficult for her to get rid of her jealousy. She just smiled and nodded out of politeness before shifting her gaze away.
Cass continued to introduce the other one. "Arnold Koslin, three-star [Machinery], one of the rare double-major Knights!
Not only is Koslin good at manufacturing machinery, but he is also very talented in long-range sniping. "
Koslin was more proactive.
However, his initiative was not based on polite behavior.
He had no intention of shaking hands with Han Dong. Instead, he used the magnifying effect of his self-made "goggles" to carefully observe Han Dong from beginning to end.
"Mystic-type, plague studies?!"
Koslin seemed to have noticed some residual fungi on Han Dong's body.
"Yes."
Koslin nodded.
"Plague studies aren't bad. Apprentice Knights in other fields of mystic-type studies aren't very aggressive … Only plague studies belong to the more aggressive category.
If there are any props that need to be processed, you can contact me alone.
Small items are free, but large items will be charged according to the internal price.
My skills can reach the level of a Knight. Don't worry, just leave the materials to me. "
"Okay …"
Han Dong revealed an awkward but polite smile.
Han Dong had seen strange people like Koslin when he was alive.
In the past, in university, a young professor from the School of Machinery was also like this. He didn't pay attention to etiquette at all. The moment he came up, he discussed very deep knowledge with others and bragged about himself.
Cass seemed to have noticed that the introduction was slightly awkward, so he quickly changed the topic to the main topic.
"Let's first confirm the bounty mission this time."
The special bounty list that Cass had carefully selected was spread out on the table. It was a mission that was of the unclear category and had a high difficulty. It required at least three people to work together to receive it.
Bounty Mission: Ghost Incident on London Streets.
Location: 37 London Street.
Details:
Two days ago, a vicious murder happened at the Baker family's mansion at 37 London Street.
Including the owner, Baker Marcellus (who was once an Apprentice Knight), a family of six was killed overnight.
Furthermore, a heresy curse mark was found at the scene.
The local public security officers immediately locked onto and captured the murderer, but the matter wasn't over.
A day after the incident, a local public security officer, Lester Alsop, suddenly died at home that night after inspecting and cleaning up Building 37.
In addition, many residents living near the Baker family said that they occasionally saw "ghosts" floating around the Baker family's mansion … They were mostly active at night, and some people even heard the cries of ghosts.
This incident hasn't been determined by the Knights or the local Church.
It will be announced to the public as a bounty mission for four days.
If no Apprentice Knights accept the mission, or if the Apprentice Knights who accept the mission suffer serious injuries, the Knights will investigate.
Difficulty (estimated): Three stars
Scale (estimated): Medium (recommended for a team of three or more)
Time Limit: Four days (during the mission, you can avoid asking for leave from the school)
Completion Condition: Find out the nature of the "ghost" and completely solve it. Bring the relevant evidence back to the Adventurer's Association. (During the investigation, if the nature of the incident is beyond the description of the bounty, please collect the evidence and immediately contact the local Church or the Knights' division. You can voluntarily give up the mission.)
Mission Reward:
1. 500 copper coins (if the difficulty of the incident changes, the maximum reward will increase by 100%.)
2. Materials Reward (optional materials, self-made equipment, potions)
3. Knight Credits, 3 points for each member of the team.
Note: 1. This incident has a high probability of being "contaminated." Please wear [Goggles] and baptize in the local Church before carrying out the mission.
2. After completing the mission, you must go to the local Church, House of Law, and other legal pressure release places to release your "pressure."
At the bottom of the bounty, there was a hand-drawn "heresy curse" icon and a hand-drawn ghost portrait according to the description of the surrounding residents.
It was different from the common impression of ghosts.
The portrait depicted a humanoid creature wrapped in white translucent gauze.
From the figure, there was a high probability that it was a woman … At the same time, there were some structures similar to dead wood and tentacles looming under the gauze.
