Silver armored and blonde.
When Knight Silist stepped out of the gate, a divine presence carrying a significant pressure immediately radiated out.
However, Han Dong standing at the door was not affected at all.
“Vino, it’s been a long time.”
Vino put her hands across her chest, quite dissatisfied with Han Dong for not seeking her out for a long time: “Indeed, it’s been a long time … I thought you had found a little girlfriend in the Mysterious Department and completely forgot about me.”
“It’s just a teammate. I came this time because there’s something I want to ask for your help with… Do you know if Vino will be going to the Fate Space soon?”
“After a month.”
“Could Vino help me keep an eye on the magical life in the Fate Space, preferably a humanoid type … if possible, cut an intact arm and bring it back to me.”
“What do you want to do?”
“It’s for my own use … Of course, if there are no magical lives, forget about it.
If Vino’s team can bring me back an arm that meets my requirements, I am willing to pay 5000 copper coins to purchase it.
Please make sure to ensure the ‘freshness issue’ of the arm.”
In fact, besides seeking out Silist, Han Dong also specially asked Mr. Black White, borrowing the identity of a stitcher from Mysticism, to offer a high price of 5000 copper coins in the market, purchasing the arms of Fate Monsters.
It must meet the three criteria of ‘magic affinity’, ‘humanoid’ and ‘left arm’.
The knight squads that will go to the Fate Space soon will naturally pay attention after learning about the purchase information … it’s always good to make some money on the side.
“5000 copper coins?”
Vino was surprised, after all, as a formal knight, it would take several years to save up 5000 copper coins just relying on the ‘salary’ paid by the Knight Regiment, without taking any money from her own home.
“This is not a small amount of money, although finished equipment is rarely sold, but it is enough for you to buy some rare materials to build good equipment.
Where did you get all this money from?”
“I borrowed it from a friend, I currently urgently need a magic arm.”
“I will keep an eye out for you … if the target needs to be killed in the first place, it is easy to bring back an arm.”
The meaning of Knight Vino was clear, if she brings it back, she doesn’t need Han Dong’s money.
“Thank you, Vino.”
“Do you need me to spread the news?”
“Appreciate it … By the way, do you have time, Vino? I’d like to treat you to a meal.”
“Wait for me to change my clothes.”
Vino Silist has been preparing for the ‘Fate Space’ to take place a month later, with training occupying a lot of her time … Even if the platoon leader came to invite her to attend any event or invite her to dinner, she would directly refuse.
But… Han Dong is different.
After experiencing the [Writer Incident] at the Cass Family, Vino’s attitude towards Han Dong was quite special.
……
In the restaurant.
“By the way, do you know what’s going on with Cass, Vino? I heard that Cass is undergoing some ‘special training’.”
“Cass Martini? This kid has received an above-average evaluation in intensive training twice in a row and was selected as an outstanding student by the Cross Crusader and has been picked up by the Knight Regiment ahead of time.
According to the general rule, he might be at a secret stronghold outside the city with other outstanding students from other departments, undergoing ‘pre-Breaking Seed’ training.”
“Elite students training outside the city … Yes! Speaking of which, what is the process of the ‘Breaking Seed’? ”
Han Dong was always curious about how to let the seed in his brain sprout after being allocated 5 points for the major occupation … how exactly is the so-called Breaking Seed carried out.
How to break the necessary seed shell to stimulate the growth of the seedling within.
“Didn’t the Crow Prophet tell you?”
“I didn’t ask.”
“[Breaking Seed] is crucial to a knight’s future… The precondition for breaking the seed is to single-handedly kill a life from outside the city.
‘Corrupt the blood, break the gift seed’.”
“Single-handedly kill a life outside the city? Aren’t seeds originating from Fate Space? I thought I’d go into the World of Fate and experience a special [Breaking Seed Event].”
“Fate Space can impartially grant us humans hope’s light, to fight against creatures outside of the city…[Breaking Seed] is an examination phase, only those new knights who can break the seed are worthy of continuous cultivation by fate.”
Han Dong nodded, “I see… it’s because humans were driven to desperation by creatures outside the city that the Door of Fate would open.
By the way, can ordinary monsters, evil creatures, be killed as well?”
In Han Dong’s view, killing a low-rank creature from outside the city was not a difficult task… Han Dong had also defeated quite a few family executives in Stuart Manor.
“Of course it’s not that simple…
[Breaking Seed] usually involves three steps – searching, battle alone, and opening the seed.
The first step of searching is crucial. You must find a ‘rare’, ‘strong’, and as ‘compatible with you as possible’ creature from outside the city.
If the creature from outside the city is too weak, or does not match the traits of the knight,
The Talent Tree that grows out of the final breaking seed will be severely restricted. This knight is destined to have little prospect of development and may even fail to obtain the status of a knight.
During breaking seed, the creature from outside the city that was killed will be recorded as crucial information in one’s personal archive, largely determining the future development path of the knight.”
“What was the creature you killed to break your seed, Vino?” Han Dong asked curiously.
“A ‘Father of Sin Punishment’ just one step away from becoming a demon.
Back then, I borrowed some ‘family’ background, trekked over a hundred kilometers through the forest area, found the ‘Albelo Cathedral Ruins’, also known as the Fallen Cathedral, where many fallen monks gathered.
After spending half a year camping out and searching, I finally found a solitary ‘Father of Sin Punishment’.
After successfully killing it, I broke the seed and formed a Talent Tree that was very suitable for me… allowing me to continue down the path of the ‘Holy Church Army’.”
“Half a year?”
“Yes… Half a year is considered long, but some apprentice knights spend even more time.
After all, the Academy provides the entire fourth academic year for students to attempt the [Breaking Seed].
Once you succeed in breaking the seed, you can participate in the ‘Knight Selection’ at the graduation ceremony.”
Han Dong nodded thoughtfully.
In other words, Han Dong, who is just starting his second year of university, still has two years to saturate[Mysticism]and the[Library].
Han Dong continued to ask: “What if I were to kill a demon?”
“What are you thinking about? Evil creatures on the verge of becoming demons, monsters, Different People and real demons are entirely different stories.
Out of a thousand creatures that have reached their limit, there might be one that could genuinely evolve into a[Demon].
A mere apprentice knight who has not broken his seed, wanting to challenge a[Demon]on his own… You’re oversimplifying creatures from outside the city.
A year ago, we killed a ‘Fallen’ named Bei Ke in the underground area of the Becker family… But Bei Ke was not able to unleash 100% of the demon’s power yet, or it would have been more difficult to deal with.”
“Has anyone in Holy City ever managed to do that?”
When asked by Han Dong,
Vino felt an instant slap in the face, as there were truly mythical figures in history who had broken their seed by killing a demon.
“The recently returned ‘Alex, Death God’, leader of the[Terminal Knight Regiment] was one such who broke his seed by killing a demon…”
