Chapter 143: The Return Journey
The journey to Destiny Event comes to a perfect end.
The entire squad reaches four stars and everyone has big gains, and thanks to a change in the final mainline, each member of the squad receives a piece of the Fate Equipment
Apart from Han Dong who gained the most, the second most important was Cass.
He had obtained a "White Rock Beast Spear" from the Joker, and his own combat skills had been honed in the ultra-high intensity of the over-the-top battles.
In the end, he also exchanged the accumulated 100 points for a special metal material, which was of the superior blue quality.
Cass knew high level craftsmen in the Holy City who could use this material, along with some of the things Cass had prepared before, to create an extraordinary piece of equipment.
------------------------
Departure from the Destiny Space.
The crowd is received by a "clock worker" in a strange costume.
A ton of brass exchanged through the point system is stored in a space capsule.
Once opened, this disposable capsule will be void.
After handing the brass to the Clock worker and filling out a paper file with information about clearing the Destiny event, you can return to school to recuperate or move around on your own.
"Nicholas, this form should be filled out carefully to highlight your performance in the 'Destiny Event' as much as possible.
Everything on the form, once verified, will be backed up in the Academy's archives and will affect your future allocation of resources.
For example, participation privileges when the school holds some sort of special event, the possibility of applying for a grant when working on a side project such as mechanics, textiles, alchemy, or creative writing.
However, you can still fill in a pseudonym if you intend to hide your identity.
After all, you follow the Raven Prophet, and there's no need to consider some minor resources and permissions."
"Okay."
When Han Dong filled it out, he still used the same pseudonym he had used when he first teamed up- [Aaron Andeva], the same pseudonym that Mr. Black and White used when he signed up Han Dong for this Destiny event.
A student who had just entered the school for two weeks and had become a four-star mysterious apprentice, Once the higher-ups knew about it, they would definitely look into it.
Once a guy with more power than Mr. Black and White and who was ancient and rigid found out about Han Dong, things would be troublesome.
As for the [Aaron Andeva], the fake name would also accumulate prestige and reputation because Han Dong used it time and time again.
When the time was ripe and the fake name reunited with the real name, Han Dong wouldn't be missing anything.
,
The four members of the squad were laughing as they walked out of the bell tower gate.
A wave of divine aura reached them.
The golden-haired female knight on a white horse seemed to have been waiting outside the bell tower's door for a long time.
"Sister!!!"
"All survived? You're the only kid who looks a little hurt?"
It was Vino Celeste.
For some reason, Celeste, who extremely doted on her sister, would guard here every time, waiting for Sophia's safe return from the Destiny Space.
Celeste's white pupils flickered with some surprise.
It was rare to get all of them out safely and without any serious injuries, and based on her knowledge of Cass Martini's, this team would never go for a deliberately low difficulty event.
The ever-tough-talking Sophia said softly, ", This time it's mostly up to brother Aaron."
"Since it's fine, I'll be leaving.
The Knights will be organizing a trip out of the city in the near future, but we still have a few days of rest, if you guys have anything to do, you can approach me."
The stern eyes continued to linger on Han Dong for some time after.
Putting on her helmet and turning her horse's head and leaving.
Celeste's last words seemed to contain other meanings.
The words 'you guys' and 'approached me' were clearly problematic.
Naturally, Cass and Coslin couldn't have sought her out.
Plus, the purpose of her keeping her eyes on Han Dong was already quite clear.
With a strange smile on his face, Cass hugged Han Dong a little harder.
"The Celeste Knight has been looking at you longer than she has been looking at Fia!
Nicholas, go for it!!!! Personally, I feel like you have a show."
"Don't talk nonsense."
Han Dong also looked helpless.
In the process of locking eyes with Celeste just now, he did receive a glance message - a glance signaling Han Dong to set up a private meeting with her.
This matter, Han Dong was going to wait until he was free to think about it.
,
After a bit of fun, the four had boarded the steam train back to school.
Surprisingly.
In the past, after clearing Destiny Space, Cass would buy spirits and drink with Coslin to celebrate, and of course, Cass drank the most.
When he got drunk, he would even hug Sophia and say some words of thanks.
After all, Sophia had followed Cass to his death in every event, providing various medical spells to aid in the process.
However, this time after clearing the Joker incident, things were a little different.
Inside the train compartment.
Sitting upright, the three of Cass' team were listening carefully to Han Dong's recounting of the concepts of [Table], [Middle Layer], and [Mile], as well as Han Dong's 'feud' with the Joker.
"Whether it's Dr. Freak, Monk Togo, or Joker Pennywise, all of them are just an ordinary resident of [Mile - Old Derry Town].
At the end of the event, I also saw an existence that was far stronger than them.
Just hearing the song made me feel as if I was in the abyss of death.
That's roughly it, I'll leave this to you, Captain Cass, for now, so pick it up."
Han Dong handed the "Map of the Lower Water Passage (Twisted Version)" to Cass.
"This?"
"Next time, we'll need the map when we head to The Return of the Joker (Mileage)."
"No, "
Cass decisively refused, very seriously.
"Brother Valen, you are not on the same level as us, when we grow into "knights", the gap between you and us will widen even more.
You take this thing.
At that time, if we really can't keep up with you, you can go find teammates on the same level as you and head to "Old Derry Town".
If we can still keep up, take you as [Captain] and we'll all move together."
Seeing Cass so serious, Han Dong nodded.
"Well, okay."
Neither the little man Coslin or Sophia had a problem with such a decision.
Knock knock!
Just then, there was a knock on the compartment door.
"Train operator?"
When the door was opened, there was no one outside.
Only all of Han Dong's senses, the hidden "Little Magic Eye" noticed some black object that flew into the compartment at that instant.
When the door of the compartment was closed again.
A mysterious man wearing a black mask and a white suit had appeared inside.
Beneath the black mask were a pair of raven eyes.
The sweep of the eyes directly caused Cass and the others to sit still and empty their consciousness.
A familiar voice came from under the mask.
"Nicholas, you've made a pretty good choice, all a bunch of good-hearted teammates. It's just that a layer of security is still necessary."
Three spirit-like individual ravens flew out from Mr. Black and White's palm and quickly drilled into their corresponding brains.
Blocking out the part of their memory that had something to do with Han Dong's use of his 'Pollution Ability'.
"Nicholas, when you go back to school, if there's nothing urgent, come directly to the [Stargazing Room] to meet me, Congratulations!"
In the blink of an eye, the box returned to normal.
The arrival of Mr. Black and White was known only to Han Dong.
