Chapter 395: Final Preparations
Without warning.
Even Han Dong and Senior Sister Zhen didn't notice it......
The old man appeared, reaching out to stop further movements.
Han Dong instantly felt a great sense of danger, and had the illusion of standing in the Ten Thousand Corpses Canyon, and instinctively retreated quickly...... The undershirt was completely soaked with sweat.
Han Dong had seen all kinds of powerful existences, but he had never seen such a dangerous person.
The old man, who was called a master by Senior Sister Zhen, specializes in 'dealing with people' methods, and can lock on weaknesses with a slight movement of his fingers, and can completely kill Han Dong.
It is precisely in this way that Han Dong feels dangerous.
"Oh...... In terms of perception, he is much more sensitive than knights of the same level, and he is worthy of being a student of crows. β
For Han Dong's behavior of avoiding due to instinct, he was affirmed by the old man in the dark.
The dark shadow gradually dissipated.
The old man slowly showed his true face.
Only a few bandages are wrapped around the arms, and the ends of the bandages are completely bordered by the skin, which seems to belong to part of the old man's characteristic skin.
A thin and simple black tights set off the thin body of the old man.
Under the black baggy trousers stepped on a pair of plain cloth shoes.
The face is the appearance of an old man in his seventies, with a pale white pupil in the center of the pure black eyeball.
Being stared at with such eyes can make Han Dong feel uncomfortable.
"Master, I'm ......" Senior Sister Zhen bit her lower lip slightly, and began to reflect on her own process.
"Your state of mind problem can be clearly reflected in this matter, if you disgrace me in the [Black Rose Knights] in the future, I will personally send a letter to Kuran to deprive you of your knighthood."
"Yes......" Senior Sister Zhen lowered her head, as if a tear was rolling in her eyes.
Senior Sister Zhen quickly restrained her emotions.
Now that the Master is here, it is necessary for her to act as an intermediary to introduce her.
After all...... There is information about her mentor, and it is not hung in the faculty column of the mysterious department.
The average occult apprentice is unaware of the existence of this figure.
"Nicholas...... This is my first mentor, Grantham. Professor Leslie, a tenured professor emeritus belonging to the Department of Mysteries.
He is also the head of the Necropolis, the Grand Master of the Shadow Stream Sect, and the former Commander-in-Chief of the Night's Watch. β
"I've seen Professor Leslie!"
When Han Dong heard so many names, it was estimated that the strength of this hidden professor was probably no less than that of a witch.
Moreover, the title of this [former Commander-in-Chief of the Night's Watch] is enough to prove that this person's status in the Holy City was terrifyingly high.
The Night's Watch is a special organization in the Holy City, a special presence among the Inquisitors.
It can deal with a lot of troublesome things 'secretly' and maintain the basic stability of the Holy City.
Han Dong had completed the Night's Watch mission during the Knight Training, and in the future, when he obtained his investigator's license, he could choose to take the path of 'Night's Watch'.
"This time my apprentice lost the ......"
"Master......" Senior Sister Zhen muttered quietly, but she didn't say it.
"As a reward for your victory, qualify your 'summons' to stay underneath them...... Let her join in the most basic shadow stream learning, but only the learning of basic skills. β
"Thank you, Professor!"
"I've secretly watched the whole process of your discussion, and your 'summon' belongs to humans but not to the Holy City, which is a bit interesting......
Hehe.
The reason why I am willing to stay in the mystical department is because the crows are 'stinking' with me in some ways, and it is impossible to break free from the shackles of the Holy City if we stick to the rules, and in the end we will not escape the fate of extinction.
It was necessary to make some changes and take some risks. β
Professor Leslie's words vaguely revealed that he seemed to guess that Chen Li came from the destiny space.
At the same time, the reason why this Professor Leslie was hidden in the depths of the Necropolis, and the title of commander-in-chief of the Night's Watch was removed, may also have something to do with his character.
"Thank you, Professor, for your trust."
"Go back and tell the crow that this time 'Jane' was selected by Kuran to join the [Knights of the Black Rose] with the fifth pick, which is not bad.
Let him try his best to fight for resources, and don't let the mysterious department continue to be so down. β
"Okay......
Han Dong's plan went unexpectedly well.
Chen Li was able to stay in the Shadow Stream Sect for various basic studies.
Han Dong believes that Chen Li's foundation will inevitably be able to accumulate steadily, and there will be great changes in two months.
Of course...... Because of this incident, I offended Senior Sister Zhen again.
Han Dong also knew very well that Senior Sister Zhen actually kept her hand in the competition, but he couldn't help it with such an ending.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
After this thing is settled.
During the summer vacation, Wen Li and Mia also contacted Han Dong to discuss things about the destiny space.
Abel has already invested 5 points in [Control] and has entered the breaking stage, so he has not contacted Han Dong.
Both girls were shirked by Han Dong under various excuses.
Wen Li was simple, Han Dong just said simply, wanting her to get more exercise independently...... The naΓ―ve Wen Li looked scrappy and said that she would work hard.
Mia seems to be in a bit of trouble, pestering Han Dong every day.
Because Mia knows very well that as long as Han Dong is here, the difficulty of fate ** can be minimized, and she can also get greater benefits.
"Mia, this time I have my own thoughts. I'll definitely lead the team next time. β
"Next time...... You won't be able to meet people next time, huh. β
"I recommend someone who is similar to me, and he will lead the team, which will also allow you to get the most out of it...... Even better than following me. β
"Who?"
"Demps. Martin. β
"Phew...... No! β
Mia has a tsundere face, and she once had a conflict with Demps...... And because of Han Dong's existence, she is not interested in Demps at all.
Moreover, she and Demps have some disagreements.
"Then you can form your own team and bring Wen Li...... Find the space that suits your destiny. Anyway, you're just close to reaching the [Seed Breaking Period] and you're going to be able to do it steadily. β
"That'...... You lend me something, you rarely use it anyway. β
Mia pointed to the "Coral Seal" on Han Dong's finger, an accessory that provides protection and increases the effectiveness of weapons.
"It's really useless to me, 300 copper coins, sell you cheaply."
"Do we need money for our relationship?" Mia immediately grimaced.
"Do you want to, because you missed the best time, it has now risen to 400 copper coins...... If not, I'll just throw it at the auction house. β
"Nicholas, you shameless!"
"500 copper coins."
"I'll buy it!"
Mia was so angry during the transfer process that she actually earned it...... Such a blue quality jewelry can be sold for 1,000 copper coins casually.
And Han Dong, who has no weapons, really doesn't have much effect with this ring.
"I wish the boss more purple outfits and smooth customs clearance."
"I hate you!!" Mia puffed up and turned to leave.
"Whew...... pestered me for twenty days, and finally sent me away! Take a good rest tonight, and tomorrow you will go straight to Mr. Black and White and start the solo mode. β
