After this task was delegated to the Gentlemen's Hall, two teammates were matched in half a day. There are two main reasons for this.
1. There are a lot of gentlemen who have reached their limit but never made a breakthrough. Even though Yi Chen already has two special relics, it is very difficult for most gentlemen to find a relic that suits them.
Compete for a spot in the Relic Event, the dangerous Grey Zone surrounding the Passage, and a one-day-only Old World Exploration.
Even if one successfully passes the above three steps and digs out ancient relics from the dusty and sandy underground on the surface of the old world, they may not necessarily correspond to one's own properties. The relics themselves may even be lacking in weight and cannot be used for breakthroughs.
2. Wenholm is the third largest city under the organization and has many elite gentlemen stationed there.
The four people who were assigned to the area, whose status was still human, would definitely not come into contact with the most dangerous areas, but would assist in completing some relatively common support tasks.
As long as you don't actively try to kill yourself, the danger level is not particularly high.
If the subsequent difficulty of the event is determined to be super five-star, the participants will also receive compensation from the organization. As Barry said, once you can make a good contribution to the event, you may get a relic directly donated by the organization.
Even if there is no direct relic reward, the next relic event will be given priority.
…
Yi Chen and other three were taken to the second floor of the Gentlemen's Hall.
An old acquaintance, the tall-hat-wearing supervisor Aggie was in charge of conducting the "qualification review" of the four people.
This review is rather special. In addition to confirming that a certain attribute of the four people has reached the limit, detailed verification must also be carried out to ensure that the abilities of the four people can play a corresponding role in supporting Wenholm.
To ensure privacy, team members will follow Supervisor Edge to the cubicle individually for a private review.
As soon as they met, Edge stared at Yi Chen, who was standing at the end of the team, with half of his body even blocked by Barry's armor.
"It's you again... William? Can't you just stay in the academy? Why do you have to get involved in such a dangerous matter
You come first, and I'll check you out first."
Because of the incident of arranging the Twilight Clinic, Edge felt a certain amount of regret towards a genius like Yi Chen.
Based on the internal intelligence he had learned so far, he did not want Yi Chen, a student who had not yet graduated from the academy, to be involved in this incident, and he silently raised the screening standards in his mind.
Enter the compartment,
When Supervisor Aggie's palm touched Yi Chen's shoulder, he was shocked by the basic value he read. If the hat didn't have a special buckle, it would probably slip off his head.
"You... have reached your physical and intellectual limits?"
"Just reached it a few days ago."
"You guys, you barely pass the basics.
However, the matter of coming to Wenholm is unusual, and you need to show a 'specialty', any specialty will do. I will judge whether it is suitable for the event of coming to Wenholm based on what you show. "
Aiji had already thought about it in advance. Yi Chen only needed to use his signature child skills.
He would have vetoed his participation on the grounds that Winholm had already arranged a large number of gentlemen of the visual perception class.
However, Yi Chen's eye child did not change, and Little Grape did not appear.
He simply extended his right hand as a gesture for a handshake.
Just as the two of them held hands.
Some kind of mucus was secreted from Yi Chen's palm, and the danger stimulated Edge's instinct to quickly pull his hand away.
Take a closer look.
This is a dark liquid with black smoke that evaporates instantly after hitting the ground, leaving no trace.
“Manager Aggie, I actually didn’t plan on taking the mission last night.
As a result, when I visited the Magician Association, I unexpectedly saw something about Wenholm and it was related to death. Some of the characteristics related to death in my body have just awakened, so I decided to spend some time in Wenholm, maybe I can gain something."
Aggie shook his head helplessly. The young man in front of him was completely beyond his understanding.
"Go ahead, go ahead. Anyway, the fact that you can come here means that Chamberson must have agreed. Let me tell you in advance that the situation in Wenholm is worse than it appears.
One missing gentleman has been found dead at the bottom of the river.
He was an apprentice in the clinic who had reached the limit of coordination but had not yet broken through. According to the autopsy, he died without any resistance and there was a high possibility that he committed suicide.
When you go there, you must follow the local requirements and not conduct investigations without authorization, let alone go to some dark streets and alleys alone."
"good."
As Yichen's test was completed,
His teammates also followed suit and the white-robed Lotson passed easily with his unique ancient magic.
Barry, who was born into a knight family, passed the examination with his unique "knight aura".
As for the last old man in the team, he was not called alone.
"Mr. Hrvoye, I didn't expect you to sign up in such a conventional way."
"Sometimes I want to follow the young people and do things together. Otherwise, if I stay in my small workshop all the time, I feel like my bones are almost completely aged. Maybe one day I will lie down alone..."
Supervisor Edge looked at everyone and said, “Since Mr. Hervoye is involved, the team should follow his arrangements throughout the process.
He was the former autopsy officer at the Hippocrates Hospital, and many people of our generation received special care from Mr. Hervoye after their death.
He is also an elite gentleman and can effectively ensure your safety."
"Elite gentleman?"
Yi Chen and others were puzzled, because this task was assigned to gentlemen who had not yet broken through, so how could there be an elite gentleman in the team.
“This mission was set three days ago and was exclusively for the Magicians’ Association for three days.
When it was transferred to us today, the severe situation in Wenholm was far from comparable to three days ago, so the content of the mission was revised and an elite gentleman would lead the participants.
That's all for now, let's get on the bus and go there without delay. Every minute we delay, the situation in Wenholm is getting worse.
I wish you all the best and hope that you all can return healthy.”
…
Come to Winholm
All residents were confined to their homes due to an unknown death.
Some outsiders and people without property were concentrated in hotels, concentration camps and other areas, and seals were affixed to the doors of every household.
Daily food supplies will be distributed by the gentlemen downstairs or at each person’s doorstep.
Everyone is also aware of the large number of deaths that have occurred recently, and they are all staying at home and obeying management. I hope that gentlemen can eliminate the shadow of death hanging over the city as soon as possible.
At noon,
A family of four lived in a single-family residential building.
The eldest daughter, Mary, is sixteen years old this year. Since she cannot go to school recently, she basically practices painting in her bedroom on the second floor every day.
Chirp~A burst of bird calls came from outside the window.
Mary immediately looked in the direction of the sound and found a row of starlings neatly perched on the telephone pole outside the window. It was strange that they did not make any unnecessary movements, but just stood there.
When the flock of birds sensed Mary's gaze, they began to move in a regular pattern.
Fly within the field of vision seen through the window, stopping and moving from time to time.
Twenty minutes passed.
Mary's mother prepared today's meal and called her brother and sister to come down to eat, but only her brother ran downstairs.
Mary sometimes forgets to eat because she is so absorbed in painting.
The mother went upstairs impatiently, ready to have a good talk with her daughter about painting.
As soon as she opened the door, she collapsed to the ground in shock.
Mary was hanging in the center of the room with a rope. She had already died. Several starlings that had flown in from the window were still standing on her shoulders. One of them was even pecking at her eyeballs.
