Chapter 140: Chapter 140: Identity Revealed
Translator: 549690339
The familiar pure white room.
Only this time.
When Han Dong was teleported here, he was immediately hit with an oppressive sensation.
Not spatial pressure… but chest muscle pressure.
As soon as Han Dong had been teleported here, Cass immediately came forward, moved by strong emotions, and gave him a hug… After all, this victory was hard-won.
“Ouch! That hurts!”
Because of his fractured ribs, Han Dong cried out in pain from the bear hug.
“I’m really sorry… I was too excited!”
Cass quickly backed off, and Sophia stepped forward.
She held her magic staff against Han Dong’s chest, infusing him with waves of warm Holy Light energy. His pain immediately subsided.
Moreover, due to Sophia’s talent in this area, the Holy Light energy helped realign the bones in his body, making the fractured bones move back to where they were, significantly reducing the pain.
“Thank you.”
“It’s us who should thank you…”
Sophia was the first to give her thanks.
“Yes, that’s right! Aron, without you… we would have been played to death by the clown!
I only estimated the strength of the boss in a Four-Star event, but I didn’t consider the enemy’s intelligence would be this high… the whole of Derry Town was under its control. Thinking about it sends chills down my spine.”
“Without you guys, it would have been impossible to achieve victory. Cass, you are very strong.”
Cass’s strength was undeniable.
During the temporary alliance with the clown, and the battle against the strongest individual in this event, the Purgatory Monk-Togu, Cass did not falter and fought for more than three hours.
At this moment, the short Koslin also spoke, expressing his gratitude in a more practical manner.
“If you need a craftsman to make anything in the future, you can come find me any time… free of charge.”
Han Dong suddenly remembered something.
“Right! Koslin, I have a ‘little sister’ who is currently studying machinery under a craftsman… However, she is not yet an Apprentice Knight.
If she gets promoted in the future, just look out for her for me.”
“It’s rare for a commoner to be chosen as a craftsman’s apprentice. After all, allocating some fate points in [Machinery], an individual’s talent in this area would greatly surpass that of ordinary people… What’s your sister’s name?”
“Nina Nicolas.”
“Nina is your sister?… Is your real name by any chance ‘Valen Nicolas’? The Apprentice Knight who just came up from the civilian area?”
Han Dong was stunned. In fact, he had planned to be honest with the team about some things.
He didn’t expect that by talking about Nina, his real name would be revealed.
Han Dong didn’t deny it, “Yeah… Koslin, do you know Nina?”
“She’s an apprentice in a common mechanic workshop under my teacher.
The teacher is very busy and often sends me and other students to inspect these mechanic workshops.
I have a deep memory of this young girl… She is young and talented, and even if I don’t take care of her, she will be able to grow well in the future.
Not long ago, I heard her proudly saying in the mechanic workshop that her older brother has become an ‘Apprentice Knight’.
I had no idea it was you.
By the way, Valen… have you just enrolled?”
Even Cass and the others were taken aback at this question.
Initially, Han Dong joined the team as a two-star mysterious apprentice.
It was thought that he had spent at least one term in the Knight Academy.
Now, as the truth was revealed, Cass didn’t know what to say.
“Yes, about me being a new student, and some of my abilities, I hope you all can keep it a secret.
I report directly to Mr. Black White; it involves some mysteries of the Mysterious Department, so it’s not convenient to disclose for now.”
Han Dong directly brought up Mr. Black White.
As soon as he did this, it immediately had an effect.
Cass, who knew quite a lot about the Knight Regiment, immediately said:
“The Crow Prophet! Rumour has it that this man spends most of his time every day ‘divining through astrology,’ not having time to manage students… and yet you have become a student of this important figure.
The reason why the Plague Knights rank high in the ‘Thirteen Knight Orders’ is
partly due to the Great Plague Chief’s formidable strength, but a large part of it is also because of the ‘special nature’ of the Crow Prophet.
Almost every Knight Regiment wants to lure the Crow Prophet into their ranks, but, unfortunately, he seems to have a special relationship with the Great Plague Chief… and insisted on staying in the Plague Knights.
Aron… No, Brother Valen! It’s no wonder that you were able to see through the clown’s plot in advance and foresee some events, I didn’t expect that you are a direct student of the Crow Prophet… We inadvertently held onto a big leg.”
Once he heard that Han Dong was a direct student of the Crow Prophet, Cass no longer doubted Han Dong’s various abilities.
After all, the Crow Prophet, as rumor has it, has odd and strange methods that ordinary knights can’t understand.
At this point, Sophia also snuck a few glances at Han Dong.
She suddenly recalled the image of her cousin, Knight Vino Silist, walking ‘intimately’ with Han Dong.
“Entering school and being able to accompany us on a Four-Star event, even making the largest ‘contribution’. No wonder my sister…”
Just then, Koslin also stepped forward to give Han Dong a heartfelt thank you hug.
“I will always remember the grace of your saving my life… Leave your sister’s matter to me, there won’t be a problem getting her through the newcomer event.”
In this way, the ‘identity’ issue was simply explained.
After experiencing this event, everyone became good friends through shared adversity.
There wasn’t a ‘villain’ in their team, and everyone treated Han Dong as Mr. Black White’s secret apprentice, promising to keep some secrets about Han Dong.
They took the ‘peculiar tentacles’ as a kind of advanced secret method of the Mysterious Department.
“By the way, your escape seemed to go quite smoothly…”
Han Dong chuckled a bit, having to risk his life to escape from the claws of the clown.
Though, this also included Han Dong’s own ‘self-interest’… managing to take one of the clown’s arms.
“‘Escaping’ is still quite simple… Koslin has many tools, and his Machinery ability can create some tools too, plus Sophia’s Holy Light Magic, trapping the other party for 30 seconds is doable.
By the way, what happened to the clown?”
Han Dong simply replied, “Eight or nine chances out of ten he’s dead, but he’s probably still alive… the situation is a bit complicated, involving the characters and scenes of the chain quest (next).”
“emmm… It sounds complicated, let’s talk more about it when we get back.”
The surprise on Cass’s face could no longer be expressed in words.
Han Dong, in this event, got in touch with scenes that could only be accessed later in the plot… Cass and the others, who had not yet entered the ‘Middle Layer,’ could not imagine what Han Dong had experienced.
Invisible among them was a feeling of clinging to a big thigh, and it was a very thick one too.
“By the way, how do we finalize the event rewards?” Han Dong was here for the first time in a squad form.
“We need to go to different rooms to settle separately.
After all, what everyone experienced isn’t necessarily the same.
For example, Aron, you, having completed some side quests alone, need to settle additional rewards separately.
After the rewards are issued, we will return to the Bell Tower together.
Let’s talk about the rest when we get back… it was agreed that after everyone recovers, I’ll treat everyone to a big meal!”
And so, the four members of the team each went to a separate white room.
When Han Dong opened the door and entered the single-person settlement room, he was wearing an extremely exaggerated smile on his face.
The rewards from this time were so ‘rich’ that it might not be enough to just describe them as such.
Whether it is the Fate event rewards or what Han Dong had won for himself, all essentially reached their maximum.
Especially Han Dong’s ‘private collection’.
Containing the Purgatory Monk Togu, an arm from Pennywise the Clown along with a large amount of Cell Essence, and the upgrade of the skull.
