Girlfriend!
The moment Cass said this word, Vino Silist’s body shivered!
“Sister!”
Sophia right next to her immediately pointed out the woman’s true identity. Otherwise, if Cass continued to misunderstand, it would cause real trouble.
Cass immediately realized the egregious mistake he had made.
Of course, who would expect this noble knight to be here? Moreover, walking closely with Han Dong, a two-star apprentice knight.
“Knight Silist, please forgive my rudeness,” Cass immediately bowed his head in apology.
“It’s okay, I just happened to meet him on the road.
Considering he was wandering around aimlessly without a clue, and given our recent cooperation, I thought I’d introduce him to the trading center’s rules as his senior.
Who would have thought this kid was rather wealthy? He bought a pair of shoes worth 1200 copper coins straight away.
Isn’t that right?”
“Yes… yes, I happened to run into Vin… Knight Vino Silist on the way.” Besides answering ‘yes’, what else could Han Dong say?
Silist’s hand was on his shoulder, and if Han Dong did not cooperate in answering, his shoulder would likely be crushed, seriously affecting the upcoming [Fate Space].
“Alright, since you’ve met each other, there’s no need for me to continue escorting this newbie… Fiya! Buy more energy recovery potions, and always replenish the energy of the [Seed], don’t let it drop below 30%.”
“Okay, sister.”
Vino Silist didn’t linger any further — she stepped out the door, called for her white horse, and left alone.
As the figure of the female knight disappeared from view,
Smack! Cass’s burly arm tightly gripped Han Dong’s neck.
“Friend Andwa, how did you manage this!? She’s the famous Punishment Knight, one of the most gifted knights in the Holy Knights Group.” Cass isn’t stupid.
Even if Silist had claimed it was a chance encounter with Han Dong,
Even if Han Dong had assisted her with a common task,
It would not have led this prestigious knight to personally take Han Dong, a two-star novice knight, to visit and introduce the trading center…
Moreover, when the two came down from the building, they were close to each other, even slightly ‘intimate’.
That’s why Cass initially thought that Han Dong was with his girlfriend.
“Well… about the last ghost incident! Didn’t you guys go into the tree hole to exterminate the ghost’s main body?
While I was loitering outside with nothing to do, I accidentally found another passageway leading underground. Considering some factors, I went in alone.
Unexpectedly, I ended up aiding Knight Vino.
Then… I guess it’s that kind of social engagement thing. I won’t go into too much detail! If Vino heard about it, she would probably kill me.”
As Han Dong briefly explained the origin of his ‘relationship’ with her, Sophia on the side was still in shock,
“What! You know my sister’s name!?”
Fiya knew very well, if her sister had voluntarily given her full name to Han Dong, then their relationship must be not trivial. Han Dong gave an embarrassed smile, “Haha… Sister Vino just told me.” “Awesome, Aron! You’re truly extraordinary!”
Cass was only holding Han Dong’s neck. With his other hand, he gave a thumps-up. His praise for Han Dong was astronomical.
What could Han Dong do? He was desperate too.
He just wanted to familiarize himself with Central Street in advance. Who knew Vino Silist would actively contact him, hold his hand, and even actively buy him a pair of AJ… no, a pair of Fate shoes.
It felt a bit like unexpectedly hooking up with a rich woman.
Just then, the petite Koslin came from the other side of the trading center.
“Captain, we’ve submitted the list of items we need to the staff, and they will complete our order soon.
Should we wait here or find a quieter spot?”
“Let’s find a quieter place… after all, for this time’s [Fate Space], I plan to use the ‘Key’. If the walls have ears, we might have people targeting us.”
“Okay.”
Han Dong and Koslin exchanged a friendly glance when they met. The two had become thoroughly acquainted during the last ghost incident.
But today’s Koslin was a bit different,
He had a ‘steam-driven full-skeleton arm armor’ installed on the outer side of his right arm.
The steel frame, along with nearly a hundred bearing and gear interfaces, allowed the arm armor to perfectly align with the various movements of the right arm.
When Koslin performed movements with his right arm, the steam engine could provide automatic or manual assistance, greatly enhancing the basic attributes of his right arm.
Whether it was the speed of punching, carrying strength, or accuracy when handling firearms, all would be significantly improved.
This was a creation of the ‘Mechanic’.
Han Dong couldn’t help but think of his own ‘sister’.
“Nina must also be planning to create such assistive equipment before venturing into the Fate Space, right? Indeed, for ordinary people, the huge enhancement that this kind of thing can provide greatly increases the chances of survival.
The merchandise order was completed.
There were still more than three hours before the opening of the Fate Space.
Under Cass’ lead, they arrived at a special pub on Central Street.
The private room was made of soundproof stone, and there was a dedicated attendant guarding outside the door. Information would not be leaked under normal circumstances.
As soon as Han Dong sat down,
Cass immediately initiated a funds transfer to him.
Deep down, Cass always felt that he had not been fair to Han Dong.
During the final settlement of the last ghost incident, Cass knew very well that simply killing the ghost guarding the mansion was not enough to receive the highest evaluation. Instead, it probably had something to do with Han Dong’s actions underground.
But in the end, it was Cass himself who solely received the enormous reward of a ‘Fate Item’.
Just as Cass was feeling slightly awkward about what to say,
Han Dong started the conversation.
“Captain Cass, is this the Fate Weapon you chose? This shield seems to suit you very well… congratulations!”
There was not a trace of ‘discomfort’ in Han Dong’s smile. He was completely delighted for Cass who had procured equipment suitable for him from Fate.
Seeing this, Cass was completely convinced, and was willing to become a lifelong ‘good friend’ with Han Dong. His favourability greatly increased.
Also, because Han Dong had delved into various equipment blueprints at the trading center, part of his interest was directed to Fate Equipment imbued with magical power.
He had noticed Cass’s ‘new shield’ in advance.
It was a kite-shaped shield, adorned with a commanding lion head mark on the surface, giving a solid impression overall, and even subtly radiating an aura of power..
