Let's be honest.

This time in the incident of the Public Security Bureau, Han Dong made some mistakes.

Frightened the lawbreakers in the underground detention cell, in fact, Han Dong did it on purpose...... The purpose, of course, is to confirm that he is a 'returner' from the side.

But he didn't expect to meet the black knight who escorted him yesterday.

This is a high-ranking person.

The Black Rose Knights, who successfully obtained their diploma from the [National Royal Knight Academy] and were selected as one of the 'Twelve Knights', are much higher than Han Dong, a trainee knight, and much higher than the local sheriff in terms of strength and status.

In Barton. Fergus asked.

There is a possibility that the information of the 'Faceless Head' will be leaked, it depends on Han Dong's adaptability.

…………

The ensuing conversation did not take place on a street full of rats and sewage.

Once again, sit on the mechanical dark horse.

Follow the knight of Patton to the adjacent [Ghanaian Civilian District].

It is also one of the four major civilian areas, but the security, environment and architectural pattern here are much better than those of Samai District...... It ranks first among the four major civilian areas.

【Hammer and Fire Tavern】

The dark horse stopped in front of a unique tavern.

The structure of the tavern's façade in black iron, intricate metal pipes embedded in the exterior wall, and a large cylindrical chimney in the back kitchen.

If it weren't for a few drunken scumbag men walking out of the gate, Han Dong would have mistakenly thought that this was a blacksmith shop.

The metal torsos of the horses, which were covered with a veil, were parked in the stables at the back of the tavern, and were guarded by special personnel.

Barton coming out of the stable. Fergus removed his seemingly heavy black iron armor and replaced it with a modest sub-coat and a leather vest.

The lofty majesty that the knight had exuded dissipated.

Barton at this time. Fergus was completely integrated into the civilian area, and strangers could not recognize his true identity.

"Just call me Barton here, you don't need a ceremonial honorific title."

"Good!"

"Come with me to the tavern."

Pushing open the door of the Black Iron Tavern, most of the people sitting inside were plainly dressed, bald-headed, fat-eared, pot-bellied drinkers holding large glasses of ale.

As I walked to the bar, a voice with a strong local accent came:

"Long time no see, old Barton fellow!

I thought you went up there and didn't remember me anymore...... I'm afraid that your name will scare away my customers, so there's a private room in the back reserved for you. ”

The man who spoke was a tavern owner with a bushy goatee.

"Old John, business is still so good."

Old John leaned in and whispered:

"Can it be bad? I've ever had a noble and mighty Black Rose Knight in this tavern! You see your portrait all around, and your metal model on the bar.

Haha, I use you to advertise in private, but don't mind. ”

"Feel free to use it...... I don't have much time to go out this time, so let's take us to a private room. ”

"Okay."

Old John was enthusiastic and heroic, and when he went to the private room, he asked the thin Han Dong: "What does this weak friend do, could it be your follower?" ”

"He's a midshipman who has just become the 'Returnee', a civilian like me, but from the Samai district."

"Samai district?"

Han Dong responded with a smile: "Hmm...... My name is Valen. Nicholas. ”

Old John looked Han Dong up and down, and suddenly stroked his beard and laughed.

"Haha, my old eyes can't see anything, but it's nice that you can climb out of the bottom of the Samai district!

Youngster...... You have to try my signature here today – Hammer Spirits. As long as your body can stand it, you friend, my old John is done!

In the future, if you come to me for a drink, you will get a 60% discount. ”

"Hehe, try it......"

Han Dong really didn't think what this body could do, and if he drank too much after a while, it would lead to liver failure, but it would be troublesome.

The enclosed black iron private room can be regarded as a luxury private room.

Animal hair carpet,

antler ornaments,

Kerosene.

Two king-sized glasses of hammer spirits were served by Old John himself.

High-strength malt liquor in a giant hammer-shaped container...... Han Dong just stared at this glass of wine, and his body felt uncomfortable.

It also comes with delicious snacks such as pepper pork sausage and deep-fried cod sticks.

"Old John, I have a personal matter to talk about with this friend."

"Understood...... If there's anything to do, just give me my name. ”

The door is locked.

After a brief meal and drink, the topic returned to the topic.

"'Returnees' rarely appear in civilian areas, and I'm personally curious how you do that...... I was going to learn about your past through the local archives.

Since it happened to happen, ask it in person.

Can you tell me about your abilities privately? After all, when you get to the academy, there will be someone to ask, and I can help you do the 'secret work' in advance. ”

This sentence expresses Barton's attitude, which seems to be on the side of Han Dong...... However, Han Dong still has reservations.

"Well, in fact, I taught myself a little bit of occult knowledge in advance before entering the destiny space."

"Self-taught?" Barton wasn't convinced, "You're not educated, are you?" ”

"Literacy was taught to me by my mother...... I was born in poor health, I couldn't go out to work, and I was idle at home every day with nothing to do...... I thought about reading a book to pass the time.

I stumbled upon a scrapyard not too far from my home that had a lot of waste books flowing down from it, and the price was very cheap.

Books such as "On the Development of the Modern Occult", "Overview of Mystery", "Theory of Astrology" and so on can be found.

I also tried to rub secret texts and draw circles on woolen paper...... About a year ago, I read a book late at night that day, put down the book and fell asleep and had a very strange dream.

I can't remember the specific content of the dream, but I vaguely remember that the dream was very chaotic, and all kinds of similar pieces were pieced together.

When I wake up, my brain is filled with a lot of energy. ”

After this statement, let Barton. Fergus never believed it at all, so he had to be skeptical.

Han Dong continued: "Through the touch of the palm, you can initiate a kind of conscious instruction to the target, and the impact is not too great, it cannot change a person's concept, but it can implant a subconscious.

This technique allowed me to smoothly contact the people of the event during the 'Destiny Event' and quickly build relationships.

Subsequently, the distribution of Destiny Points made me more familiar with this technique.

Before, in the police substation, the 'seeds of fear' were quickly planted in the minds of those people by touching, and they looked at me as if they had seen a demon, and they were scared.

That's probably the case. ”

…………

At the same time.

Samai District, Han Dong's home.

A stalker in shadow robes is secretly inspecting his room.

During the search, a large number of old books related to [occult] were found, and the books were also full of notes, and several self-painted rough circles were found in the drawers.

Two days ago, Nicholas had no of these books in his room at all.

All of this was done by Han Dong and told his sister Nina, and this kind of old waste book is easy to find in some recycling bins, and can be bought for a small fee.

Han Dong had been thinking about how to hide the Faceless One's head.

Since it is related to the occult, it is disguised as 'self-taught'...... Now Han Dong is already a mysterious apprentice, as long as the words can correspond to the situation in the room, even if the people above want to investigate, it will be difficult to find out the real problem.
