Chapter 374: Chapter 374: Old Friends
After sending out the information, Han Dong immediately went to the College of Mysticism to meet Mr. Black White.
As a “Prophet”, Mr. Black White must have known about the sinister invasion in the abandoned sewer and the location of these evil forces… Yet, he did nothing about it.
Han Dong needed to confirm one thing.
Top floor- Stargazing Room.
Mr. Black White was observing the movement of the stars through the astronomical telescope.
“Mr. Black White, you once predicted that the ‘Book of Dead Spirit- Eye Manuscript’ would flow into the sewer… Surely, you are aware of this secret stone incident? Didn’t you provide the intelligence because it is within the ‘controllable range’?
The present Mr. Black White, wearing a White Mask is quite different, less approachable, and not easy to talk to…
“If I had to intervene in everything, some really serious matters might be overlooked…’Stargazing’ doesn’t mean seeing every detail of everything. Most of the time, what I see is just a trend.
Some lines, though dangerous, would return to a preferred path after some twists and turns.
In addition, as you said.
As long as the event is within the ‘controllable range’, the Knight Regiment will only interfere to a certain extent… giving this valuable opportunity to you apprentice knights to handle, for you to adapt to the harsh environment outside the city in advance.”
“Thank you, Mr. Black White.”
After receiving such a response, Han Dong immediately left.
Since Mr. Black White confirmed that the incident is within a controllable range, Han Dong and his team could take over.
However, just before Han Dong stepped into the elevator, Mr. Black White’s voice came to him:
“This incident seems a bit unusual, you happen to hold the ‘key’… Don’t accidentally open the gate to the abyss.”
“Thank you, Sir.”
……
Han Dong wanted to investigate this case mainly for three reasons.
First, over a thousand copper coins is not a small sum, and he is not comfortable owing Dumps money.
Second, he had never seen the evil made of inorganic material – Stone. He wanted to take this opportunity to learn more about this inorganic life outside the city, not to mention the existence of a “Demon” among them…If he could encounter the “Demon” directly, he could truly understand and test the strength of the “Demon”, in preparation for the “Breaking the Breed”.
Third, perhaps he could help a good friend.
……
When he returned to the entrance of the Adventurer’s Guild.
The invitation Han Dong sent out in advance had received a response.
His friend, who he hadn’t seen for nearly a year, was already leaning against the side of the Adventurer’s Guild… His mere presence attracted the attention of many female students.
His muscular vest, outlined by his arm muscles, gave a vague glimpse of the perfect abdominal lines under his clothes.
Under the shiny golden hair, there was a sunny and handsome youthful face.
Compared to a year ago, he looked more mature… maybe it’s just the illusion of not shaving his stubble.
The blonde hair seemed to have been neglected for a while and tied into a pretty ponytail behind his head.
This man’s ‘handsome’ appearance was quite different from that of Dumps.
Sunny, hard-styled and quite dependable… standing next to him, one could immediately feel a sense of absolute security.
“Aron!”
Ignoring the girls’ flirtatiousness, he immediately locked his eyes on Han Dong approaching from not far away, called out, and stepped forward to greet him.
“Cass!”
The two, who hadn’t seen each other for a year, enthusiastically hugged each other.
In some ways, Cass was the first friend Han Dong truly got to know and decided to befriend in this world, Cass’s smell of ‘greatness’ is very rare.
“Finally, a year of special training is over.”
“Congratulations!”
Through body contact, Han Dong could feel that Cass, who had reached the “Breaking Seed Stage”, had undergone a qualitative change compared to before…
“I was just about to find you in a few days and catch up…why did you rush to find me?”
“Cass, do you have a clear breakthrough goal?”
“Yes…Being a noble family, Cass had considered his breakthrough goal in advance.
Cass continued: “Through this training, I plan to take the [Domination] route.
With the help of Father’s Writer’s Association, I have locked in on ‘Sana Mountain Range’ which is about 230 kilometers away from the Holy City.
There lives a group of ‘Different People’ who specialize in body training and have superior defense power and unique combat abilities.”
“[Domination]? Is it a talent tree of The Crusaders?”
“Yes, a tough and bloodthirsty route for The Crusaders.
It allows me to stand in front of the team, take a large amount of damage… Of course, Domination is also different from pure defensive crusaders, its own attack ability is also very good.”
“I think… you may not need to go to ‘Sana Mountain Range’, there are very suitable targets for you in Holy City.”
“What do you mean?”
“You will know in a moment…just waiting for one more person to come! In addition to inviting you, I also invited another person.”
About ten minutes passed.
A pure white steed galloped in, and the apprentice knights walking on the street all gave way.
As Cass stared at the beautiful blonde woman on the horse, he immediately wrapped his arm around Han Dong’s shoulder and whispered: “You wouldn’t have ‘taken care’ of Knight Silist, would you?”
“Don’t talk nonsense…if she hears you, she’ll kill you.”
Because Han Dong sent a message saying there was a matter involving the safety of the Holy City that needed help, Vino Silist came straight here in her silver white light armor.
“Cass, have you finished your special training?”
“Yes.”
“My sister has been mentioning your name lately, remember to visit her when you have some time.”
“I know, I have already seen Sophia yesterday.”
“Get married as soon as you both become official knights… understand?”
“Sure… Haha.” To be honest, Cass was totally focused on his knight’s journey and never really thought about love.
Afterward,
Vino parked her horse in the stable and came to Han Dong: “Say it, what’s the matter?”
“Let’s talk upstairs, I have a group of friends waiting for us… It involves an ‘Inner City Demon’. Vino, you must know about it.”
“Secret Stone?”
“Yes… But, my friend has a unique clue, come with me.”
When Han Dong led the two of them and pushed the door of the high-end box,
Mia immediately looked fierce, staring at Knight Vino like she was looking at an enemy.
“A Knight!?”
Seeing Vino, Abe and the others immediately stood up and bowed respectfully.
After all, the status of an official knight is far above this group of apprentice knights… and it seems that Vino has quite a reputation.
“Everyone relax, Vino is my friend, she will be the private leader of this operation.”
“I haven’t agreed yet.” Vino looked arrogant, crossed her legs, and sat down next to Han Dong.
