The manager of Cold Lake Cemetery, Lame Field.
When everyone looked at the old man, they became alert instinctively.
Even the little grape in Yi Chen's body immediately closed its mouth and hid deep inside.
"It's an unpleasant feeling to be buried. All the guys in charge of the cemetery are so uncomfortable. Try not to expose me. I don't want to communicate with this old man... And his grapes are about to go bad, as if they have been soaked in water for too long."
"Well, just hide well."
Yi Chen could also sense a damp burial feeling from the old man, as if he would be thrown into the river if he wasn't careful.
There was only one copy of the document that the old man threw on the dining table, so the captains of the three teams had to get together to check it together.
The document is indeed very detailed. After a detailed analysis of the three "rooted pathogens" in the natural gray area, the corresponding difficulty definitions are given, which are briefly summarized as follows:
1. Black Pus ★★★★, a relatively simple rooted pathogen, is a certain distance away from the Holy Grail Mountain, and there is less route information available. The team will need to rely on themselves to find the correct route up the mountain and search for the passage.
2. Oculus Syndrome-★★★★★, the most difficult rooted pathogen, occurs in the Holy Grail Mountain. A few deeply diseased infected people have found the correct path and may even have insight into the location of the passage.
3. Sepsis - ★★★★+?, medium difficulty. Since the investigation team has never been to the Baron's mansion, it is impossible to judge the specific difficulty. The Baron family, who have lived in the mountains for many years, is likely to have a lot of information about the Holy Grail Mountain, and there may be some family treasures left in the mansion.
…
When the captains finished their reading,
A white-haired young man wearing a white robe and with intelligence as his main attribute put his right hand on his chest and introduced himself very elegantly:
"We haven't officially met each other yet. My name is Yinskarion Lotson. I'm currently working at the Magician's Association. Of course, I'm just a newcomer helping out with odd jobs. I'm good at ancient magic.
We are a more traditional combat, magic and priest team. Miss Jenny is responsible for both treatment and perception, and is not very good at handling mental events. "
Under Baimao's guidance, another captain also began to introduce herself. She was also the only female captain among the three teams.
He has short dark brown hair, a gentleman's coat that is a close-fitting combat leather suit, metal arm guards, a sword on his left waist, and a metal shield with an elk pattern on his back.
"Norma Kopet, a candidate member of the pathogen investigation team. Robert is in charge of our team's exploration and interpretation of the texts of the old world. Lalma and I are not good at sensing.
It is also not suitable for dealing with mental infection incidents.”
Yi Chen naturally understood what the two captains meant and introduced himself with a smile:
"William Behrens, a student at Offalostik College... Since neither of you is willing to take the eye-converging disease, we will take care of it~ It just so happens that our team members all have high sensitivity.
Although I am a relatively short captain, I am quite proficient in eyes. "
When Yi Chen selected the gray domain pathogen he was going to face, the little grape hidden in his body opened its mouth with excitement, as if it would be able to eat countless high-quality grapes immediately.
Seeing Yi Chen taking the initiative to take on the most difficult task, Captain Baimao also asked curiously:
"Oh? Mr. William, are you also proficient in child arts? No wonder in the previous match, when you faced that special heavy-armored knight alone, you were able to find the right 'angle' to deliver targeted attacks and dodges."
"It's not that of a child, it's just that his eyesight is better."
"I really envy a genius like you~" White Hair smiled and turned his gaze to the other side, "Ms. Norma, there are two remaining pathogenic areas. Do you have any subjective intention? Are you inclined to the village, or the baron's mansion that even the investigation team has not fully penetrated."
Norma herself is also a reserve member of the investigation team. She is very clear about some internal rules regarding investigations. If an area in a certain time zone is not investigated, it must be put last due to some concerns.
"If you don't mind, leave the village chief's black pus case to us."
White-haired Lotson made an OK gesture, as if this was the result he wanted.
"That's absolutely fine. Then our team will be responsible for the mysterious baron hiding in the mansion. I'm personally very curious about what this guy is doing in the mountains. He knows that he will definitely be infected with the disease, but he still stays there.
In that case, it’s settled! I hope everyone can climb the mountain smoothly and go to the old world together. "
Yi Chen could probably see that the strength of this white-haired gentleman was quite extraordinary. In the previous qualification screening, he had not used any obvious ancient magic, but instead suppressed the opponent with basic magic.
One could indeed sense an ancient aura from his body that was different from the "Gentleman's Leather".
He seemed to sense that Yi Chen was secretly observing him.
The white-haired Lotson smiled and turned his head to look at Yi Chen.
"Speaking of which, although Mr. William looks like a gentleman with a physique, he is actually mainly intelligent, right? Would you consider joining the Magician's Association after graduation? If he can invite a genius like you, the president will definitely praise me."
"Haha, besides~ I don't even know how things will develop in the future."
After dinner,
After receiving the "mountain route" chosen by the three teams, the lame Field still said with a gloomy face:
“At this time tomorrow, the carriage will take you to the corresponding area.
Even if you die in the mountains, don't die in pieces. At least let your teammates bring your remains out intact and place them in my cemetery so that you can continue to contribute to the organization."
After saying some unlucky farewells, the old man walked towards the door. When he was about to disappear from everyone's sight, he suddenly turned back!
His white eyeballs looked at the young man at the dinner table again.
He slowly raised his dry arm, and his curled index finger made a bone-crackling sound as it gradually straightened, pointing at the two people:
"You, and you... come with me."
The people named by Field were Yi Chen and Reagan.
As the other party is a gentleman senior and also the person in charge of the station along the way, it is naturally difficult to refuse.
Jin also waved his hand and said, "Go quickly, maybe you can get some benefits from this old guy. I will go to the clinic here later, maybe I can find a good corpse."
After Yi Chen and Reagan looked at each other, the latter put the last chicken leg on the table in his mouth and followed the old man.
No words throughout the whole process.
Walking to the east exit of the town, smelling the rotten smell in the air, Yi Chen and Reagan recalled their past life in the cemetery.
It's just that the rotten smell here is mixed with dampness.
It's like a captain with a broken leg who keeps his broken leg in a boot in a barrel filled with dead fish. After hundreds of days of sailing on the sea, the smell is released when the barrel is opened.
As they stepped into the cemetery, the lame Field finally spoke.
"You all have the smell of the cemetery, and it's very strong... Have you ever done this kind of dirty work in other cemeteries before you became gentlemen?"
Yi Chen replied calmly: "Yes, I stayed in the Seven Days Cemetery for a while before."
"Seven Days... That Wilbert guy opened it, right? What about you? Which cemetery are you from?"
When Reagan talked about the cemetery, he recalled some unpleasant memories, but the fat on his face quickly covered them up. "Camberill Cemetery, I worked there for nine years."
"The Great Cemetery, nine years? No wonder I could smell a strong odor as soon as I entered the hotel. It's really rare that you managed to survive.
The reason I asked you to come here is because I am short-staffed, and there is a batch of important goods at the bottom of the lake that needs to be transferred before tomorrow. I believe that you two gentlemen who walked out of the cemetery can easily do this job.
Although my old bones only have this damp cemetery, I won't be stingy enough to let you work in vain.
As long as you do things well, the "graveyard products" you carry with you can gain some benefits from me."
