Chapter 143: Chapter 143: Return Journey
Translator: 549690339
The journey of fate came to a perfect end.
All team members reached four stars and each had their own gains. Due to the change of the final mainline, each member got an item.
After Han Dong, who gained the most, Cass was next.
From the clown, he got a âWhite Rock Beast Spearâ, and his combat skills were honed in the super-high-intensity cross-step battle.
In the end, he used a cumulative 100 points to exchange for a special metal material, a high-quality product of the blue-quality range.
Cass knew a high-tier craftsman in the Holy City who could make extraordinary equipment with this material, along with some things that Cass had prepared before.
Exiting Fate Space.
The team was led by the oddly dressed âClockmakerâ.
A ton of copper exchanged through the points system was stored in a space capsule.
Once activated, this throwaway capsule would be scrapped.
Passing the copper to the Clockmaker, and after filling relevant information about completing the Fate Event in a paper record, one could return to school for rest and recuperation, or move about freely.
âNicholas, fill in this form carefully, highlighting your performance in the âFate Eventâ as much as possible.
Once the content on the form has been verified, it will be backed up in the academyâs archives, and will affect your future resource allocation.
For example, the possibility of getting a subsidy for part-time jobs in machinery, textiles, alchemy, creation when the school holds certain special events.
However⌠if you intend to hide your identity, you can use a pseudonym.â
After all, following the Crow Prophet, some small resources and privileges need not be considered.â
âAlright.â
When Han Dong was filling out the form, he still used his initial team name â [Aron. Andwa], when Mr. Black White signed Han Dong up for this Fate Event, he also used the pseudonym.
A student who has just entered school for two weeks has already become a four-star occult apprentice⌠once the higher-ups know, they will surely investigate.
Once thereâs a guy of higher authority and more conservative than Mr. Black White who investigates Han Dong, trouble will araise.
As for the pseudonym [Aron. Andwa], after being used again and again by Han Dong, the reputation and honor would be accumulated imperceptibly.
When the timing is right and when the pseudonym coincides with the real name, Han Dong wonât miss anything.
When the four members of the team walked out of the bell tower, laughing and chatting.
A holy aura spread over them.
The blonde female knight on the white horse seemed to have been waiting outside the bell tower for a long time.
âSister!!â
âYou all survived? You look a bit injured?â
The one who came was Vino. Silist.
For some reason, Silist who spoils her cousin would always wait here, waiting for Sophia to return safely from the Fate Space.
There was a touch of surprise in Silistâs clear eyes.
Being able to escape without a single serious injury is quite rare⌠and according to her understanding of Cass Martini, this team wouldnât deliberately choose low difficulty events.
Always verbally hard Sophia whispered softly: â⌠This time, the main credit goes to Brother Aron.â
âSince thereâs nothing wrong, Iâll be off.
The Knight Regiment is going to organize a city outing soon, but there will be a few days of rest time⌠if you guys have anything, you can actively find me.â
Cold eyes lingered on Han Dong for some more time.
Wearing her helmet, she turned her horse around and left.
There seemed to be other implications in Silistâs last words.
âYou guysâ and âactively find meâ, these two terms are clearly problematic.
Neither Cass nor Koslin would possibly find her.
Plus, her gaze was always on Han Dong, her purpose was already quite clear.
Cass cheekily grinned, hugged Han Dong a bit tighter:
âThe time Knight Silist looked at you was even longer than the time she looked at Fiya!
Nicholas⌠Go for it!! Personally, I feel that you have a chance.â
âDonât just make things up, donât just make things up.â
Han Dong also looked helpless.
In the process of making eye contact with Silist just now, he indeed received an eye contact message â a gesture from Silist implying that she wanted to arrange a time to meet him privately.
He planned to consider this matter once he had some free time.
After some joking around, the four of them had already boarded the steam train back to school.
What surprised them wasâŚ
In the past, after clearing the Fate Space, Cass would always buy some strong liquor and celebrate with Koslin⌠Of course, Cass was the one who drank the most.
After getting drunk, he would even hug Sophia and say some words of thanks.
After all, Sophia followed Cass closely in every incident, providing all kinds of medical spells to help.
But this time, after clearing the Clown event, the situation was somewhat different.
In the train compartmentâŚ
Cass and the others sat upright, listening attentively to Han Dongâs explanation of the concepts of [Table], [Middle Layer], [Inside], and the âgrudgesâ between Han Dong and the clown.
âWhether itâs the Mutant Doctor, Monk Togu, or Clown Pennywise, they are all just ordinary residents of [Inside â Old Derry Town].
At the end of the event, I even saw a figure far stronger than them.
Just hearing her singing made me feel like I was in the Abyss of Death.
Thatâs about it. For now, Iâll leave this to you, Captain Cass. Please take care of it.â
Han Dong handed the âSewerage map (twisted version)â to Cass.
âWhat is this?â
âA map weâll need the next time we go to âClownâs Resurrection (Inside Story)â.â
âNoâŚâ
Cass decisively refused, saying earnestly:
âBrother Valen, youâre not on our level⌠When we grow into âKnightsâ, the gap between us will widen even more.
You keep this.
When the time comes, if we really canât keep up with you, you should find teammates of equal level and head to âOld Derry Townâ.
If we can still keep up, weâll follow you as the [Captain] and move together.â
Seeing Cass being so serious, Han Dong could only nod.
âAlrightâŚfine.â
Both the small statured Koslin and Sophia had no objections to this decision.
Knock knock knock!
Just then, someone knocked on the compartment door.
âA conductor?â
When the door was opened, no one was outside.
Only Han Dong, with his all-encompassing senses, noticed something black that flew into the compartment in an instant, thanks to the âLittle Demon Eyeâ hidden from view.
When he closed the compartment door againâŚ
A mysterious man wearing a black mask and a white suit had appeared inside.
Underneath the black mask were a pair of crow-like eyes.
Just a glance from these eyes left Cass and the others motionless, their minds emptied.
A familiar voice came from beneath the mask:
âNicholas, your choice is quite good⌠all of them are kind-hearted teammates. However, it is still necessary to put in some security measures.â
Three ghostly crows flew out of Mr. Black Whiteâs palm, each quickly burrowing into a corresponding brain. đđŻđđđđ˘đđŤđđłđ˘đ.đđŹđ
The memories in which Han Dong uses the âPolluted Superpowerâ were sealed.
âNicholas, after returning to school, come to the [Stargazing Room] to meet me if you donât have anything urgent⌠Congratulations!â
Then, in the blink of an eye, the compartment returned to normal.
Only Han Dong knew that Mr. Black White had been thereâŚ
