The task was delegated to the Gentleman Hall, and within half a day, two teammates had been matched. There were mainly two reasons for this.
1. There is a large number of gentlemen who have reached their limit but have yet to break through, and although Yi Chen already possesses two special relics, it’s very difficult for most gentlemen to find relics suitable for themselves.
Securing a place in the relic strife, the dangerous Grey Zone around the channel, and the Old World exploration limited to only one day.
Even if one succeeds in overcoming these three obstacles, digging out ancient relics from the grey-sand-covered underground of the Old World’s surface does not guarantee that they will align with one’s attributes, or even that the relic itself would be intact enough to facilitate a breakthrough.
2. Levinhome is the third-largest city under the organization and hosts a number of elite gentlemen.
Four people whose rank is still “Human” were arranged to go there. They would inevitably not touch the most dangerous areas but rather assist with some more ordinary backup affairs.
As long as one doesn’t take unnecessary risks, the level of danger shouldn’t be particularly high.
If the difficulty of the event is later determined to be beyond five stars, participants will receive compensation from the organization. As Barry said, a substantial contribution to the event might lead to the organization giving away a relic directly.
Even without a direct relic reward, priority will also be given for the next relic event.
He was a clinic apprentice who had reached the limit of harmony but had not yet broken through. According to the autopsy, he had almost no resistance before dying, and suicide seemed very likely.
“Once you are there, you must follow the local requirements and not investigate on your own accord, especially not venture alone into any dark alleys.”
As Yi Chen’s testing was completed,
his teammates followed suit with their examinations, with Lotson in the white robe easily passing thanks to his unique ancient magic.
Barry, born into a knight family, passed the inspection by relying on his unique “Knight Aura.”
As for the last member of the team, the old gentleman, he wasn’t called separately.
“Mr. Helvoye, I didn’t expect you to sign up in such a conventional manner.”
“Every now and then I like to act with the young people, otherwise, sitting in my little workshop all the time, I feel like my bones are going to age completely. Who knows, one day I might just lie down in there…”
The supervisor Aiji looked at everyone, “Since Mr. Helvoye is participating, the team should follow his arrangements throughout.
He was the former autopsy officer of Hippocrates Hospital. Many of our generation received Mr. Helvoye’s special care after death.
He is also an elite gentleman, which will effectively ensure your safety.”
Yi Chen and the others were puzzled, as the mission was meant for gentlemen who had not yet broken through, so how could there be an elite gentleman in the team.
“The mission was created three days ago, exclusively by the Magician Association for three days.
When it was released to us today, the grave situation in Levinhome had become far worse than it was three days ago, so the mission content was revised, including a lead elite gentleman among the participants.
That’s all for now, delays are not good, so hurry and take the car over. Every minute we delay, the situation in Levinhome gets increasingly worse.
I wish you all the best, and I hope you all return safely.”
All residents were confined to their homes due to the unknown death incidents,
some visitors and people without property were collectively managed in hotels and camps, with sealing tape on every household’s door.
The daily food supply would be distributed by the gentleman group downstairs, or to each own home entrance.
People were also very aware of the recent spate of deaths and stayed obediently in their own homes, complying with management, hoping that the gentlemen would quickly dispel the shadow of death looming over the city.
a family of four lived in a detached residence.
The elder daughter Mary, sixteen this year, had been practicing painting in her second-floor bedroom every day since the school was not in session.
Chirp, chirp~ A burst of bird calls came from outside the window.
Mary immediately looked for the source and saw a neat row of starlings perched on the power line pole outside the window. It was odd, they made no superfluous movements, just standing there.
When the birds sensed Mary’s gaze, they began to move in a patterned manner.
Flying within the field of view that could be seen from the window, pausing and moving intermittently.
