Chapter 592: Chapter 592: Recommendation Letter
Han Dong went straight to Captain Hugo’s office with four notebooks full of pages written with two wasted steel pens.
The first thing Hugo did when he saw such a workload was to stand up and check Han Dong’s hair quantity.
There were no signs of baldness, and his eyes showed no signs of dullness.
This seemingly complicated work was not even as tiring as the final month of writing his doctoral thesis in his previous life… At least this kind of textual material only required very ordinary rational reasoning. Compared to a doctoral thesis, it could be considered easy, its only drawback was the sheer volume of work.
Captain Hugo, stunned by the effort, took out two pre-prepared grey badges representing Category II personnel, replacing the common badges provided to Han Dong by the Knight Headquarters.
One of the grey badges was branded with a question mark pattern – representing the Secret Keepers.
The other was branded with a magnifying glass pattern – representing the Secret Solvers.
“Hmm…Is this how it is chosen directly? Doesn’t it need any special awarding or promotion ceremony?”
“Everyone is busy, no one has time to arrange these meaningless ceremonial procedures.
I’ll simply tell you that although the Secret Keepers and Secret Solvers are primarily responsible for different tasks, they are not prohibited from cooperating.
In special circumstances, whether it’s the Stone Slab or Oddity, you may need to assist.”
In fact, Captain Hugo had hinted earlier that he wanted Han Dong to join the team decoding the ‘Demon Tablet’.
As Han Dong reached out to accept the badge symbolizing the Secret Solvers, Hugo also handed over a recommendation letter.
“To participate in the Real Destiny as a knight, you must have a recommendation letter given by a deputy captain or someone of a higher rank… Take the recommendation letter to the Knight Headquarters for a series of registrations.
The Knight Headquarters will conduct an audit, and arrange you to form a group with other individuals or small teams of knights in the best match way to go to the Real Destiny Space.
Of course, if you have your own team to register together, that’s even better.”
“Thank you, Captain Hugo… but won’t a week be too short?”
“As you wish, with your working efficiency, we can allow you more time, as long as you make up for the work piled up there after you get back.”
Just as Han Dong took the recommendation letter and was about to turn around and leave.
Captain Hugo added a sentence:
“This is your first time participating in the Real Destiny… Usually, new knights who just joined the group need a year or even more time for knight training, to stabilize the newly formed Talent Tree.
Only those with exceptional performances and those who pass the test can get the captain’s approval and obtain a recommendation letter.
The Real Destiny Space is several times more difficult than the Fate Space you experienced when you were still an Apprentice Knight, and there are many uncertain factors inside.
All the captains don’t want to lose the newly recruited potential new members just .
I believe in your strength… but, after many conversations with you, you seem extra ‘anxious’.
It seems that there are still some Fate clues buried in the Apprentice Knight stage.
The Fate Space you are about to go to should be some kind of chain-type event. If you are too anxious, even you may be in danger.”
“Thank you for your concern, Captain, I will slow down.”
“If you die… the work here will become troublesome.
If your former companions have not yet received recommendation letters, I suggest you go to the Night Watchmen Headquarters before you register, you may get unexpected benefits.”
When he stepped out of the Secret Museum again.
Han Dong went straight back to the mailbox by the crossroad.
Having spent a long time working in a confined area, the moment I breathed in fresh air, my initially fatigued mind became a lot clearer.
“It feels like I’m back in my student days… quite good! Now that I’ve been promoted to a Secret Solver, once I return from the True Fate Space, I can get in touch with even more intriguing Demon Tablets.
Sigh… But I’ll put these thoughts aside for now.
The most important thing is what’s in front of me right now.”
Han Dong immediately made contact with his old comrades through the clockwork device.
Just as Captain Hugo said, new knights who’ve just joined the team, no matter how stellar they performed at the Knight Convention, it’s hard for them to obtain a recommendation letter in a short period of time.
Captain Kaimon saw Abe’s weaknesses during the competition, plus he’s currently being jointly trained by Captain Olivia. They have to wait until Abe can fully control the Berserk Beast within him, then he can obtain a recommendation letter.
As for Dumps, he directly refused Han Dong’s invite… It seems that he’s found a ‘New World’ within the Doomsday Knight Brigade and is dedicating to mastering demon techniques. He himself hasn’t yet prepared to face the True Fate.
As for Mia, it needs no further explanation.
She’d just managed to stabilize the condition of an Insect Attach outside the city, hadn’t even stayed in the Knight Regiment for a day, she had no way of obtaining a recommendation letter.
Winry, who is a girl with poor basics, is currently accepting special training in the Hell Knight Corps. Han Dong didn’t even bother to message her.
However… one person responded to Han Dong.
“When will you submit your recommendation letter? I may need a day to apply for it from the captain.”
“Alright, I need to visit the Night Watchmen Headquarters in advance, contact me after you’ve prepared the recommendation letter.”
“Okay… By the way, you’re not thinking of ending ‘that thing’, are you?”
“We’ll talk about it later.”
The communication was cut off.
The person Han Dong contacted was the first friend he made when he came to Holy City, Cass Martini who had formed the [Talent Tree-Dominator] after Breaking the Breed and joined the Lionheart Knight Group.
It seems that Brother Cass hadn’t made an appearance for a long time.
Since Captain Hugo specifically mentioned the Night Watchmen Headquarters, Han Dong naturally needed to pay a visit.
Also, after becoming a Formal Knight, Han Dong should have reported with the Night Guard Medal he had previously obtained.
Back to the Underground area.
Since it’s been open to the public for a while, the Underground area has seen a greater flow of people. Most of them hide their faces under cloaks and curb their aura to avoid unnecessary trouble.
The Night Watchmen Headquarters built on the main street is easy to find.
In front of the primarily black-toned headquarters building, there are also many people… many people who were passing by the headquarters, couldn’t help but stop in front of a distinctive statue.
A statue of a middle-aged man with a round hat, covered with a studded cloak, Holy Water vials on his waistband, leather pants and a pair of leather spiked shoes. He has hawk-like eyes.
With one hand holding a silver sword, and another holding a torch.
The base of the statue bears his name and title.
[Reinhardt Gerard, the first Night Watchman, the third captain of the Black Rose Knight Squad]
Just as Han Dong was gazing at this statue with a dignified aura.
A familiar female voice came from not far away:
“What are you doing here?”
When Han Dong turned his head, it was Diana Epsilon, the girl he competed against in the top ten final of the Knight Convention.
“I’m here to report.”
Han Dong immediately showed her the Night Guard Medal in his hand.
Looking at the medal, Diana seemed to recall Captain Curran’s words from the past, some strange emotions flickered in her eyes.
