Chapter 39 Apprenticeship Assessment (Seeking Follow-up)

After Su Fan walked through the gate of the clock tower, his vision became dim, and in front of him was a spiraling staircase.

At the different stages of the staircase, there are promenades that extend out to the various spaces of the bell tower.

On either side of the staircase are oil paintings, the most striking of which is a portrait of a brown-haired man, in a brass uniform, with sideburns and fortitude, of the Earl of Reims, the founder of the Iris Club and knighted by the Grand Duke of Black Flame.

The bright red carpet is laid out on white bricks, and the room is filled with the fragrance of flowers, which looks extremely peaceful.

A waiter dressed in black stepped forward, bent down to him, and said:

"Sir, please explain your intentions."

"I have come to pursue the glory of history and the truth that has been buried."

Su Fan did not hesitate and said the contact code of the 'Song of Gold' organization, which was the secret word left by Sophia.

At the same time, Su Fan also took out the iron badge and handed it to the black attendant.

"It turned out to be a respected master.........."

The black attendant's face changed slightly, and he recognized Su Fan's badge as the apprentice of the 'Golden Song'.

As a vault organization spanning several divine domains, the Golden Song naturally has unimaginable power and energy, and has branches in various regions.

The Iris Club in front of you is a peripheral organization that serves the 'Golden Song', which can be understood as the relationship between knights and servants.

- that is, the master-servant relationship.

Even if Su Fan is only an apprentice in the 'Song of Gold', he is also the master of the Iris Club.

"Master, please follow me to .........."

The black attendant bowed and turned to the steps.

Su Fan followed behind him, and the two of them walked up the stairs all the way to the golden gate on the top floor.

The black attendant stepped forward and knocked a few times, and a dark grid was recessed on the door, revealing eyes with scrutiny, and the next moment, the other party handed out a pure white mask from the dark compartment, with a golden symbol at the center of the eyebrows, which was the symbol of the song of gold.

"Master, please take it to the party again."

The Black Attendant returned with the mask and explained to him.

Su Fan reached out and took the mask and put it on his face, and the next moment, a prompt sounded in his ears-

[Hint: If you wear a special item and a golden secret face, the 'secret face' effect will be automatically activated, which can block the perception of characters below the third order, and the other party will not be able to peek into your true appearance. 】

Sure enough, the members of the Golden Song kept their identities secret from each other........... Su Fan touched the mask on his face and muttered inwardly.

Except for Sophia, the Vault Mentor who guided him to the Guild, no one else would know Su Fan's identity, and similarly, Su Fan couldn't know their identities, and they were strangers who hid from each other.

In other words.

Even if Su Fan attended the party, he could not know that those aborigines in Wansha City were members of the Golden Song, which protected their privacy to the greatest extent and ensured that everyone's identity would not be revealed.

Very thoughtful approach.

The only flaw is that this mask is only for the third order and below.

If it was Sophia, like she had been promoted to a Vault Master, she would be able to bypass the effect of the mask and directly peek into the true face of others.

However, a Vault Master who has stepped into the Third Order, let alone the 'Song of Gold' branch, even if it is a Vault Headquarters set up in Asgard, it is difficult to easily encounter this kind of person, so the possibility of the Golden Secret Face failing is still very low.

After putting on the mask, Su Fan walked into the meeting behind the golden door under the guidance of the black attendant.

[Hint: You have entered the hidden map - Song of Gold/Wansha City Branch, this map is in the 'Story Exploration' mode.] 】

[Hint: Every time a member is revealed, you can get an exploration reward, when the exploration reaches more than 30%, the story event of this map will be triggered (unique), and when the exploration reaches more than 70%, you can get an exclusive title.] 】

Su Fan glanced at the panel and secretly said that this is not only a hidden map, but also a reward for plot events and exclusive titles.

It is worthy of being a division of the song of gold.

In terms of progress, Su Fan is probably the first player to step here.

After all, no one can hook up with a Master of Vaults like him at the beginning of the game.

You know, the Vault Master is a third-order powerhouse.

At least Lv.50 strength or above to be eligible to contact them, Su Fan was completely tricky and formed a friendship with Sophia before she was promoted, just saying this was enough to make the wealthy guild envious of the explosion.

However, Su Fan did not rush to explore, after all, in the eyes of other members, spying on their identities was a taboo behavior.

With a scrutinizing mindset, Su Fan swept around the meeting hall, which was similar to a bar, but quieter than a bar.

One by one, the members who belong to the Golden Song sit in their seats and drink.

From time to time, talk to the people around you, or have a drink alone.

If you have someone drinking alone, you can come up and talk, maybe trigger a commission, or even a story mission.

Su Fan ignored them, came to the bar, and introduced herself to Miss Cat Ear, who was also wearing a mask:

"New Vault Apprentice, come and report."

"Hey, it's actually a newcomer.......... Miss Mao'er looked at the name on the badge, and the next moment, she couldn't help but exclaim: "Introducer, Sophia Ainlis........ Wait, wait! Could it be the new Master of the Vault, Ms. Sophia?! ”

Because the golden secret face was half a face, Su Fan could see her mouth open wide, and he looked extremely surprised.

"Yes, my Vault Mentor is Sophia."

Su Fan nodded, thinking that Sophia's movements were indeed fast, no wonder she returned to the headquarters, and the whole territory knew that she had been promoted.

"It's rude, Mr. Spectator.......... You can call me 'cat ears'. ”

Miss Cat Ear bowed, and then asked:

"According to the rules of the organization, you're eligible for a vault apprentice robe."

"But the Song of Gold advocates the principle of equal exchange, and if you want to get the apprentice robe, you still need to complete a commission."

After saying that, Miss Cat Ear added:

"Of course, these commissions are only apprentice-level, and they're listed on the bounty board—"

A bounty board was placed in front of him by Miss Cat Ear, listing the apprentice-level bounty events: [The Mystery of the Gro Opera House], [Southern Train Murder], [The Identity of the Wine Thief], [Burglary]..........

These names look very decryptive.

That's right, as a secret organization that explores the ancient truth, the assessment of members of the Golden Song often focuses on the 'secret' level, that is, to test the observation and intelligence of the members, and if they accept the commission, they often trigger decryption tasks.

In the Old Gods, there are many different types of missions, and it's not just the 'combat' type.

There is also decryption, playing, and quizzing......... and so on.

Right now, Su Fan has to face a decryption commission, and according to his rebirth experience, the simplest of the above commissions should be [Burglary Case], as long as the perpetrator is found, the commission can be completed.

The most difficult commission was [Identity of the Wine Thief], and until he was reborn, this commission was a headless case.

So far, no one has completed it.

"The reward for the apprentice robe is fixed, but I am very particular about the commission I choose, and if the difficulty is higher, the more I can get additional rewards..........."

Su Fan thought for a while, and was about to choose the second difficulty [The Mystery of the Gro Opera House], when suddenly, Miss Mao'er stepped forward and actually drew the bounty board back, and then only left the [Identity of the Wine Thief] bounty page.

"There's an unwritten rule for apprentices introduced by Master Vaults—"

"Must be the highest difficulty bounty commission."

Facing Su Fan's surprised eyes, Miss Maoer shrugged her shoulders and said helplessly:

"Mr. Spectator, this is your commission."

"Please find out the identity of the 'wine thief' in the auditorium."
