Translator: 549690339
[Library]
A magic apprentice with medium-length black hair, sporting a unique metal magic book hanging from a copper chain around his waist, emanating a distinct British aura.
At the moment, he is saying goodbye to a female teacher with sea-blue long hair and getting into a unique black carriage to go to the city gate.
[The Crusaders]
A young man who has just finished his training walks out of the coliseum.
He has a Mohawk hairstyle and numerous tattoos on his face.
Two unique weapons hang on his body. When he first started at the academy, he gave up relying on a “shield,” focusing all his attention on attack.
This man leads a copper-colored warhorse out of the stable and rides alone to the city gate.
[Machinery]
A female student with fiery red hair walks out of the metal melting room.
She wears a black vest, wide-legged leather pants, and a pair of high-top leather boots.
Due to long-term work in high-temperature furnace rooms, the student’s arms have significant muscle contours.
She takes off her gloves, wipes the sweat from her forehead.
At this moment, an exceptionally robust white-bearded boss comes from the front and throws a giant backpack stuffed with various tools and components before her.
Clang! The heavy thud of the backpack.
This backpack must weigh several dozen pounds.
“Remember to bring back an ‘excellent’ result.”
“Yes, master!”
This red-haired girl effortlessly shoulders the giant backpack filled with various metal components and quickly leaves the craftsman area without a carriage or horse to ride.
She checks the timing device, and there seems to be enough time. She seems ready to jog to the city gate with the giant backpack on her back, warming up in advance.
[Holy City – Noientena]
The first level is divided into four civilian zones, each corresponding to a city gate, also known as the Gate of Titan.
This time, the knight training led by the Behemoth Knight Group is located in the western part of the Holy City.
There are still forty minutes left before departure.
Many apprentice knights who passed the preliminary contests yesterday have already gathered in front of the towering West City Gate.
Han Dong, because he was stopped halfway by Mia again when he left in the early morning, had to go to the city gate with her.
This is the first time Han Dong really stood in front of a city gate, hundreds of meters high.
The last time he crossed the city gate, Han Dong was just a head, mainly thinking about how to escape from the carriage, without carefully observing the city gate.
The super-large city gate, over a hundred meters high, is forged from 50% metallic copper, fused with other metals and unique minerals.
On the gate body, a statue of a Titan is carved. As the carriage enters the city gate area, one can feel the pressure.
The road directly facing the city gate is also nearly a hundred meters wide and known as the Path of Titan.
Every time the Scout Knights return, the two sides of the road will be filled with civilians holding flowers, celebrating their ‘triumph’.
Just as Han Dong’s carriage was about to reach the gate.
The carriage suddenly stopped due to an external force.
A vulture flew over and landed on the carriage window, signaling Han Dong to look at the Shattered Tooth Tavern on the side of the road.
Not just an ordinary vulture, Han Dong could sense a danger from this vulture.
Considering the Behemoth Knight Group led by Captain Kaimon, this vulture’s owner should be a knight.
Guided by the vulture, they entered the tavern area.
The waitstaff in the bar seemed to have received instructions in advance and directly led Han Dong to a private room deep inside the tavern.
“Mysterious Department. Valen Nicholas and Mia Seminovich, correct?”
The speaker was a middle-aged man with a Mediterranean hairstyle and a curled mustache. Even by human standards, he was somewhat lanky.
The surface of his beast fur robe was adorned with a specially crafted metal armor, providing comfort without sacrificing the defensive capability of full plate armor.
“The Behemoth Knight Regiment, the Second Platoon Leader, Vulture Kenny!” Mia recognized this man’s identity immediately.
Han Dong’s hypothesis was on point: this man was none other than Captain Kaimon’s proverbial ‘right-hand man’, tasked with ensuring the safety of the six new recruits throughout this training exercise.
Once he confirmed their identities, Kenny didn’t have a lot to say. He simply waited for all the new members to arrive.
At this point, besides Kenny, two of the new recruits had already arrived in the tavern’s private room.
Naturally, there was no need to mention Abe Rhein, with his white, wildly beast-like hair. He had already arrived with the Behemoth Knight Regiment, and upon seeing Han Dong, he had greeted him instantly with a smile.
Apart from his characteristic spiky white hair, Abe also had a pair of icy blue eyes.
Direct eye contact with him over a long period of time could give one the chills.
The second recruit was a handsome young man who sat in the corner, having just closed the book he was reading.
A student styled in British fashion, wearing copper-rimmed glasses.
“Library, Dumps Martin nice to meet you!”
“Nice to meet you!”
Han Dong had immediately noticed the unique magic book in Dumps’s possession.
Moreover, a colorless magic shield enveloped him at all times.
Even compared to Sophia, who majored in Holy Magic, this new recruit was not inferior at all.
Han Dong and Mia had just sat down when someone new entered.
A mohawked, extensively tattooed man with rough features, who sharply contrasted with the polite, gentlemanly Dumps.
This man had a large cleaver imbued with Fighting Spirit and a black iron cold axe encrusted with a Skull Stone.
Platoon Leader Vulture Kenny asked, “Cross Crusader, Dawu Abdul Rahman?”
Dawu nodded without introducing himself to Han Dong and the others, instead choosing to sit next to Abe.
“Big Brother Abe.”
“Dawu, you’re looking good! Introduce yourself, we’re all elites from our respective departments.”
“Okay!”
This apparently troublesome Middle Eastern lad was surprisingly obedient to Abe.
After the introduction, it turned out that Dawu was different from the common Cross Crusader.
He leaned more into the role of a Berserker, someone who often found himself injured.
Moreover, Berserker blood flowed through his veins. When injured, this blood could greatly enhance his resistance and even render him immune to a certain extent against contamination.
As they neared the estimated assembly time, the last team member arrived.
Pant pant pant
The redhead pushed open the door to the private room, gasping for breath. A giant backpack, three times larger than everyone else’s, was slung on her back, nearly brushing against the ceiling of the tavern.
Sweat stains were all over her wheat-colored skin.
If it weren’t for her black tank top, she might have her clothing would have gotten soaked.
Scratching the back of her head, the young woman said, “Sorry! I didn’t calculate the time well, I should have taken a carriage. My name is Winry Austin, I am majoring in Machinery and specializing in blacksmithing. Just call me Winry.”
“This girl Born with Divine Power?”
To Han Dong, it was apparent through his Little Demon Eye that there was a domain of power emanating out from Winry, even the Cross Crusader Dawu might not match her in terms of raw strength.
