He returned to school.
Naturally, Han Dong did not need to undergo the Holy Cleansing and Stress Release.
After parting ways with Knight Celeste, he immediately returned to the mysterious academy.
This was because Mr. Black And White had asked Han Dong to look for him directly after he returned to school. He had something important to discuss with him.
The Stargazing Room had been transformed into a medieval aristocratic room.
On the sofa beside the fireplace sat an "unfamiliar" Mr. Black And White.
Compared to the last time he saw Mr. Black And White wearing a black mask, he felt like a completely different person.
"The aura has changed …"
Han Dong carefully sat on the sofa opposite him, not daring to look at the white mask at all.
Even if he glanced at it from the corner of his eye, he would feel uncomfortable as if he had been completely seen through.
An ethereal and distant voice came from under the mask. "You're really lucky to have obtained such a 'huge' reward with just a three-star mission with a strange situation."
This sentence directly indicated that Mr. Black And White already "knew" about Han Dong's reward.
"Sir, do you have any instructions?"
"Take out the book."
The words that sounded like an order made Han Dong's heart skip a beat.
Han Dong naturally did not want to hand over the magic book that he had spent so much effort and risked his life to obtain in this mission.
But … if Mr. Black And White really wanted to take it by force, Han Dong would not be able to protect it.
A book bound in "real leather," with traces of black stitching and an eye in the center, was placed on the table.
The moment the magic book came into contact with the table, something strange happened.
An evil aura spread around the book.
Immediately after, densely packed little eyes grew on the table and even spread out.
If no action was taken, they might even spread to the entire room.
The danger was self-evident.
Han Dong was about to reach out and stop it.
Snap! Mr. Black And White snapped his fingers in front of him.
The ceiling immediately turned into a starry sky. As the stars flickered, the little eyes were strongly stimulated and closed on their own. The little eyes all retracted into the book and could no longer spread.
Han Dong could not understand such a method at all.
However, the starlight had no effect on the "original eyeball" on the book cover … It seemed that the eyeball used to make the book cover was not a pollutant, or it was of a very high level and was not restricted by the stars.
Mr Black And White didn't reach out to touch the book.
"About a week ago, when I was observing the stars, I fell into a short-term 'superficial dream state' and inadvertently saw an eye sneaking into the Holy City.
I took it as an ominous sign and sent some of the Knights of Pestilence to investigate.
Who would have thought that this eye would appear in such a manner, and after so many twists and turns, it ended up in your hands. "
Han Dong didn't know what the book was either. He only knew that it was related to the creatures outside the city.
Beck Marcellus had only learned the first chapter of the book, and he hadn't even fully learned it, but he could easily control ordinary people and create all kinds of pollutants.
They even used evil sacrificial methods to draw creatures from outside the city into their bodies.
It was enough to reflect the high value of this book.
Han Dong had planned to hide this matter and secretly read it himself.
Since Mr Black And White had seen through it in advance, there was no need to hide anything. He took the opportunity to ask about the nature of the book.
"Sir, what is this book?"
"The Book of the Dead: Eye Part Copy.
It's not the original, but a high-quality copy made by a 'master.'
The material used for the cover alone is priceless. The stitching technique and the embedding of the eyeball have surpassed the highest level of the Mystery Branch. You can't imagine the value of this book. "
"The Book of Necromancy: Eye Manuscript?" Han Dong repeated the words in his mind.
"The higher life forms outside the city are not only superior to us in terms of basic life forms … They're also no less intelligent than us. This book is the work of a master outside the city.
However, such a work actually flowed into the abandoned sewer system of the Holy City. "
"A conspiracy? They're trying to use this book to disintegrate the Holy City from the inside … "
Mr. Black and White nodded slightly. "There is a certain possibility. This book is enough to make an ordinary knight its slave. If you hadn't intervened in this matter,
Even the talented Knight Celeste would be controlled by this book after exhausting her stamina in battle. In less than a month, the upper noble circle and the Holy Knights would be in trouble. "
"This …"
In fact, Han Dong had smelled the scent of a conspiracy in advance.
The vile murder of the Baker family → the local public security bureau → the appearance of a trainee knight or a knight.
All of this had a purpose.
Fortunately, the ones who dealt with this incident were Han Dong, who was not afraid of pollution at all, and Celeste, who was the best among the ordinary knights.
Otherwise, if things continued to deteriorate, it would be unimaginable.
Han Dong asked, "I don't understand. Why did the knights ask us to help after knowing the seriousness of this incident? Why didn't they just send a large number of knights to clean up? "
"Because I'm the one who reviewed this incident! When you submitted the 'evidence', I personally reviewed the incident. Considering your uniqueness, I deliberately let you continue the investigation as an 'assistant'.
Otherwise, if it was someone else who reviewed it, the situation would be the same as what you said. "
"Mr Black And White, you deliberately let me be involved in this incident?"
"No … I deliberately let you come into contact with this book.
If you were defeated in the end, I would appear directly from the scroll and deal with the Fallen … However, you didn't disappoint me. "
As soon as he said this, Han Dong's heart trembled slightly!
All of this was within Mr Black And White's plan. For a moment, Mr Black And White's figure was constantly magnified in his heart.
"Nicholas."
"Yes."
"If I directly submit this book to the council, the following three situations will occur.
Relevant policies will be introduced in the near future to strengthen the Holy City's defense in all aspects. Knights will even be stationed in various public security branches to further improve the Holy City's internal security.
"The Mystic Association, the Magus Association, and so on will investigate this book and trace its origin so that they can launch the next large-scale operation outside the city to destroy the book's author's nest.
"Some mystic scholars who specialize in this field can try to analyze this book to strengthen our understanding of the creatures outside the city.
This is the benefit I'll bring to the country by handing in this book.
If I hand this book to you, what benefit can you bring me? What benefit can you bring to the Holy City? "
Mr Black And White's purpose in asking this question was obvious.
If Han Dong's "benefit" was less than the above three points, Mr Black And White would confiscate this book and hand it in.
How should he answer?
In fact, Han Dong already had an answer in his heart.
"I can read and learn everything in this book and fight for mankind."
Han Dong's answer slightly surprised Mr Black And White.
It seemed that this answer was better than he had expected. An extremely rare smile appeared on his white mask.
"Crow … You were right. Okay! I'll leave the rest to you. I'm going to rest. "
Black and white alternated.
Han Dong could not see the face that flashed by during the changing of the masks.
The aura changed.
It returned to the Mr Black And White that Han Dong was familiar with.
"Nicholas, since you're recognized by White, it means that I was right about you … Okay! Take the book and leave. Pasha will continue to teach you the basics of plague science.
I look forward to your performance in the Realm of Destiny in a week.
I'll keep everything about this book a secret. You have to be careful.
If it leaks to the higher-ups, I can't protect you. "
"Thank you, Mr Black And White."
