[The Steps of Zeus]
The highest peak leading to the Holy City.
The council, as the highest authority in the Holy City, is located at the highest peak.
It is built in the style of the Hanging Gardens of Ancient Babylon, with the blessing of magic, making it a true ‘Wonder of the World’, the ‘King of God’s
Place’.
Each decision of the council will shape the future of humanity.
All significant matters concerning the safety of the Holy City will be discussed here.
In today’s regular meeting, the intelligence officer talked about the [London Street Ghost Incident] completed by Cass and his team.
The detailed execution process of the assignment was submitted in textual form to every member of the council.
Looking at it from the report.
The significance of this matter, compared to the Knight Regiment’s ‘out-of-town investigation’ and its mass killing of life outside the city to obtain the latest information, is not worth much attention.
After all, the incident has been completely solved, finally, the target was thoroughly killed by the Punishment Knight, Silist.
However. the council members sitting here can be said to be the highest think tank among the existing people in the Holy City, and they can see many details that ordinary people cannot see.
“Baker Marcellus, how could a human who couldn’t even complete his knight training manage to take on life outside the city?
More than two hundred civilians were sacrificed only to attract life from outside the city, not to support his physical body… You need to continue investigating this matter.”
“Yes!” the intelligence officer nodded.
“Have the identities of the four Apprentice Knights who carried out this bounty mission been clarified?
Facing such a conspiracy, coupled with the fact that local law enforcement was secretly controlled and the truth was hidden, they were able to find clues in advance, notice abnormalities, and report them.
They were also able to perfectly assist the knight in completing the task, indicating that all four of them have a high overall level.
In the future, pay attention to them, and strengthen their training.” “Their identities have been cleared.
Three of them have been identified, two are born into hereditary nobility.
The other is a direct student of Duncan, the vice dean of the Mechanical Department and chairman of the Mechanical Association.
The last person in the team is using the pseudonym [Aron Andwa], this name can’t be found in the Knight Academy… He claims to be a two-star mysterious apprentice.”
“We have verified this matter with the Mysterious Department, and Mr. Black White acknowledged that this student is one privately trained by him, and his name is not exposed for the time being.”
“…Since it’s Mr. Black White’s disciple, there should be no problem.
However, if any information about this mysterious student appears in the future, you still need to report to us.”
“Okay.”
Another council member continued speaking about this incident:
“Recently, the frequency of life outside the city walls invading us has started to increase, and their methods are becoming more and more covert, it is necessary to strengthen the security defense of the second layer.
I propose to expand the recruitment of Apprentice Knights, even if those recruited can’t pass the entrance exam, or drop out halfway, they can be directly sent to work in the law enforcement division of the second layer.
Regularly check their thought, to ensure that disgraceful situations like Baker Marcellus won’t happen.
In this way, the overall quality and ability of the law enforcement personnel can be effectively improved, and the occurrence of such incidents can be reduced.
Record this and let’s talk about the next incident.”
Mysterious Department – [Old Sewer]
Han Dong, who finished the mission, continued to focus on his studies.
After he was able to ‘Control Plague’, Han Dong reduced the time he spent on plague studies every day.
At three o’clock in the afternoon, he will go to the [Stargazing Room] to learn ‘summoning knowledge’ from Mr. Black White.
Mr. Black White also specifically set aside a special study room for Han Dong.
Mostly, Han Dong would be reading related books alone in the compartment and learning by himself, understanding the fundamental meaning of ‘summoning’.
The learning time for Summon Class is about 4 hours.
The rest of the time, Han Dong will carry out [special study].
He will read this invaluable “Book of Dead Spirit- Eye Manuscript” and try to understand and learn the ‘evil knowledge’ written on it.
In the process of reading, although Han Dong won’t get polluted.
However, his thoughts would be drawn by these weird texts and the patterns attached next to them, and he would fall into a state of obsessiveness after a long time of reading.
Therefore, Han Dong would usually take a break after reading for forty minutes.
Once, he was so engrossed in reading that he unknowingly ‘unveiled’ the disguise from his head and transformed into the [Faceless One]… If others see it, it would be a huge problem.
A week of happy learning passed by just like that.
Tomorrow at noon, he will enter the Fate Space in a true sense as a team.
Cass also informed Han Dong by phone in advance, asking him to gather at Central Street at 8:30 tomorrow morning promptly.
Cass will distribute some essential items to the team members and get everything ready.
“I will stop here for tonight and rest early.”
After closing the human skin book, Han Dong went straight back to the [Old Sewer].
Because he finished studying early tonight, Mrs. Pasha hasn’t gone to bed yet, she is currently cultivating fungi while drinking.
“Mrs. Pasha, I’m going to bed.”
“Don’t rush… come here!”
Before Han Dong could react, he was dragged by a soft arm towards the desk.
Mrs. Pasha, who originally looked drunk, has now become serious.
“You really intend to follow a group of three-star Apprentice Knights to the
[Fate Space]? Have you considered the difficulty?”
“Considered.”
After a brief silence, Pasha took out a set of lightweight ‘Silver Soft Armor’ from the drawer. It seems that she secretly prepared it for Han Dong.
“Your body is not suited for armor, even light armor is not suitable… This silver soft armor weighs no more than 1.5kg, can effectively withstand some attacks from evil things, and might be able to save your life in critical moments.”
Mrs. Pasha always felt awkward about giving students things for no reason and quickly added: “It’s hard to get a single student. I just don’t want you to die so easily, hurry up and take it!”
“Thank you, Mrs. Pasha.”
“Okay, go to bed… remember to think about the ‘fusion’ technique you just learned the day before yesterday before you fall asleep. Don’t forget when you are in danger.”
“Okay.”
Han Dong knew very well that Mrs. Pasha cared about him.
Over the past two weeks, Mrs. Pasha devoted a large portion of her energy to him, and also gave Han Dong some ‘unique’ abilities that he couldn’t learn from books.
Han Dong, who was lying on the small bed, did not feel any tension at all, but was a bit excited.
“I wonder which literary work corresponds to the Fate event… The prison is about to expand. Maybe I can find a prison pal for Miss Chen Li in the Fate event.”
To recruit new minions.
This is precisely why Han Dong kept thirty or so points of load space unused. Ps: The second volume [Knight] officially ends (There will be only two updates today).
Preview: The name of the third volume [Clown].
This volume will be a critical chapter in determining the future ‘career’ development of the protagonist. The real sense of ‘exploration’, ‘investigation’ , and ‘confrontation’ Fate copy is about to start.
