Chapter 61: Departure
"Is this the only option?"
I don't know why.
Han Dong felt a strong sense of discomfort when he saw the mark at the end of the bounty list and the depiction of the ghost.
Cass explains simply:
"Hmm...... There is currently only one three-star bounty order that will give 'materials' in this kind of reward, and the rest of the bounty tasks involving 'materials' are four-star and five-star.
To tell you the truth, this bounty mission is actually a preparation for [Destiny Space] in a week's time.
We need high-level supplies, and we also need a sum of money to buy 'life-saving' things. ”
In the matter of [Destiny Space], Cass must be more experienced, and it is true to say that he must be fully prepared.
However, Han Dong still said with some concerns: "Since in the three-star bounty order, only this task will have a 'material reward', so the risk is naturally very high, right?"
It may even appear, similar to the last ghoul event. When we take a closer look at the crime scene, we will find that the difficulty of the mission itself is higher than the bounty warrant describes. ”
"It's possible, but the risk has to be taken...... But no matter how risky this mission is, it can't be as high as [Destiny Space].
If we can't even complete the bounty mission, then [Destiny Space] will be in trouble in a week's time.
Friend Andwa, you're currently only a two-star apprentice knight...... If you don't want to get involved, I won't force you. After all, you should be the top student in the mystery department.
Stable development in the early stage is a wise choice. ”
Sophia on the side also interjected at this time:
"Anyway, we still have a summoner in our team, and I have a three-star [control] trainee knight in my circle of friends. If you're leaving, I'll just let her be a replacement. ”
Han Dong was not affected by anyone's words, just stared at this bounty order, and thought silently in his heart:
"The strength of the Cass team, in the three-star trainee knight team, should be in the upper reaches...... And Cass's character is already known, and such a righteous person should be rare in such a world environment.
If I can join their team, it will also be of great help to my future development.
It's just a bounty mission this time......
Neither rejection nor affirmation, but rather the words:
"If you get a bounty, when will you leave?"
Cass seems to have made a preliminary plan of action, "Nearby residents have unanimously claimed that the ghosts appear at night, and mostly in the early morning stage."
We will rush over now and try to conduct a detailed investigation of the building before nightfall, and then determine the next detailed action. ”
"Okay...... I join. ”
It's best to investigate in advance, and don't wait until night to act, as once the situation is abnormal, there is no chance to escape.
"Let's go."
The way to get to the streets of London is not a horse-drawn carriage...... It's a steam train.
In addition, it should be noted that the streets of London to which the mission refers are not in the civilian area, but on the second floor of the Holy City.
Mainly inhabited by middle-class families, or knightly families (at least one member of the family is a midshipman).
Open and clean streets,
Unique single-family building,
Steam carriages can be seen everywhere,
Residents walking the streets often wear mid-to-high-end clothing and jewelry that match their status, especially among women.
Lace skirts, delicate corsets, and hats adorned with bright feathers.
As for the men, most of them wore top hats, shirts with dark jackets, and their signature mustaches.
As for the streets of London, they are among the largest in the second floor of the Holy City.
Most of the human survivors in the Holy City are humans from all over Europe.
In order to commemorate the country, people named the streets of the important cities of the old country in the Holy City, and retained the architectural style...... "London Street" is one of the examples.
Most of the survivors from Great Britain lived on the streets of London.
Dividing streets and planning people in this way saves the Bureau of Population and Resources a lot of work.
The second floor of the holy city is still very extensive, and in order to facilitate the travel of residents, a railway system has been built on the second floor, using efficient steam trains for passenger and commercial transportation.
Why add the word 'efficient'?
This is because trains here can reach speeds of up to 230 km/h.
Not only did scientists optimize the efficiency of the internal combustion engine, but also improved the conversion efficiency of the boiler and steam engine through the magic circle, so that this old-fashioned train that should have been eliminated could actually approach the world's 'high-speed rail' in the world during Han Dong's lifetime.
Even so, it takes more than two hours to drive from the school to the streets of London.
In addition, the 'high-speed rail' is free for trainee riders, and you can ride as many times as you like by showing your rider voucher.
Due to Kas's special status, he also applied for a four-person compartment with a lockable door to ensure that the communication between the four people would not be heard by other passengers.
As soon as the train started, Han Dong found an excuse to separate from the three of them.
"I'll go to the bathroom."
"Hmm."
Go to the bathroom and lock it.
Han Dong's purpose in doing this was to not reveal that he was a freshman who had just entered the school.
In the following discussion, there will inevitably be a discussion of ghosts, and the matter of mysterious imprints...... As a mysterious apprentice, Han Dong must at least have some insight here.
Otherwise, his identity will definitely be suspected, especially Sophia, who is a little prejudiced against Han Dong.
Stay in the bathroom.
Through the clockwork mechanism on the wrist, a special number is broadcast.
When connected, a familiar female voice came from the bronze piece's vibrating mouth, which was none other than Han Dong's first mentor, Pasha.
"What? Didn't you take a leave of absence and go back to rest? ”
"Is taking a leave of absence today to go with a group of friends on a bounty mission?"
"You're a kid who has just entered school and hasn't grown up yet, and you want to go on a bounty mission? How many stars? ”
"Samsung...... When it comes to 'ghosts', I wonder if Mr. Pasha has any information about 'ghosts' there? Can you fax it to me? ”
After Han Dong said this.
The other end of the phone suddenly became silent.
After waiting for about five seconds, a deep voice came out: "Three-star bounty - [Ghost Incident on the Streets of London], unspecified deterministic mission...... Nicholas, if you don't want to die! Come back to me right now! ”
"Uh...... I'm already on the train. Could you please send me a detailed copy of the 'ghost' information? ”
"Really going?"
"Hmm...... If it's really dangerous, I'll give it up.
This team is very good, if I can join them, the probability of my survival in [Destiny Space] in a week will be greatly increased. ”
After a brief sinking.
“…… Wait five minutes! I'll pass on the files to the 'Ghost', as well as some articles about 'Evil Spells'. Don't die...... Otherwise, it will be difficult for me to account for Mr. Black and White. ”
