After obtaining the mission information, Enzo quietly left the mission location.
Walking on the black stone road, he still had doubts in his mind. Except for himself, the compulsory tasks for the other newcomers were extremely difficult. They were either subjugation tasks or cleanup tasks. Without exception, they all required combat.
But for him, it was an investigative mission.
"Is there anything special about this mission?" Enzo thought secretly.
At this time, a crow flew not far away.
"Chenghui, 1 magic stone." The crow flapped its wings, landed on Enzo's shoulder, and panted, "Master Byron is looking for you, go quickly."
"Senior Byron is looking for me?" Enzo gave the messenger crow a magic stone, nodded and said, "I'll go right away."
Quickly arriving at Courtyard No. 172, Enzo met Byron in the hall.
"Senior, are you looking for me?"
"You have received a mandatory mission, right?" Byron sat on the sofa, pointing to the seat beside him, gesturing for Enzo to sit down, "Before I had time to tell you, I had already said hello to my friends at the mission office and asked them to
I have a simple task assigned to you."
"It turns out it's because of the senior." Enzo suddenly understood and nodded, "I was just wondering why the mandatory task given to me by the mission office was so simple. It turns out it was you who said hello in advance!"
Byron chuckled and nodded, saying, "Although the investigation task is simple, leaving the academy may not be without danger at all. Before you leave, I will give you a small gift."
As he spoke, Byron clapped his hands.
Behind him, from the shadowed area in the corner of the hall, a strong man with an expressionless face walked out.
He was wearing dark gray leather armor, with a knight's sword hanging on his waist. His steps were steady and powerful, his breath was long and thick, and the bulging muscles on his shoulders were as hard as rocks, seemingly containing powerful power.
"Master." The man walked to Byron's side and knelt down on one knee.
"Dias, the Demon Knight in my hand!" Byron pointed at the man and introduced, "His body has been baptized by a variety of magic potions and has high resistance. He can even resist ordinary zero-ring spells.
.”
"When you go out on a mission this time, let him serve as your escort!"
"Devil Knight?" Enzo's eyes lit up. According to the records in the book, when a knight practices fighting spirit and enters the realm of the Heavenly Knight, he has reached the limit of his human body. If he wants to go further, he can only rely on the power of a wizard.
The Demon Fighting Knight is an advanced form after the Heavenly Knight.
It is said that they began to take various magic potions when they were very young. Their bodies gradually developed resistance as they grew up, and the fighting spirit in their bodies also changed their nature due to the potions, so they had a fighting power that surpassed that of the Sky Knights.
However, the Demon Knights trained in this way are not without any disadvantages.
First of all, once you become a Demon Fighting Knight, you must take magic potions throughout your life, otherwise you will die of exhaustion of fighting energy. On the other hand, as a Demon Fighting Knight grows up, you will gradually lose your fertility.
This is the price for a mortal to break through to the realm of Heavenly Knight!
Many wizards like to train special knights as servants. In addition to the magic knights, there are many other paths after the heavenly knights, such as branded swordsmen, dark temple warriors, etc.
"Dias, from now on, you must regard Enzo as your master." Byron said solemnly.
"Yes!" Demon Fighting Knight Dias had no expression on his face. He knelt down to Enzo and said, ": Dias has met his new master."
"You want to give Dias to me?"
Enzo looked a little surprised and asked in an uncertain tone: "But why? As far as I know, training a Magic Knight costs at least 100 magic stones. According to the principle of equivalent exchange in the wizarding world, I
It seems like I haven’t given anything to you, right?”
The corners of Byron's lips raised, revealing an inexplicable smile.
"Just accept the gift I give you. If you have to give me a reason, just treat it as an investment from me."
"Investment? Is it because of my potion talent?" Enzo's eyes flashed, and he had a guess in his mind.
"That's right!" Byron did not deny it. He nodded slightly and said in a solemn tone, "Being able to complete [Burning Potion] is enough to prove your potion talent. And in the near future, I may need your help."
"My help?" Enzo's heart moved and his thoughts changed.
The wizarding world has always adhered to the principle of equal exchange. Since Byron has given something, it is impossible not to ask for something in return. It seems that both the previous patent rights and today's Demon Knight Dias are all in exchange for Enzo's future.
s help!
"Can I know what you need me to do?" Enzo asked hesitantly with his eyes thinking.
The greater the benefits obtained, the higher the price paid. Since Byron can use the patent rights of the new potion and a Demon Fighting Knight he has trained since childhood as an investment, the return he seeks will never be simple.
"Haha, you don't have to be too nervous." Byron chuckled and shook his head and said, "The help I need is related to some potion research. There is no danger."
"That's it." Enzo understood and felt a little relieved.
"Okay, I will go out to perform a mandatory mission tomorrow. You should go back and have a good rest." Byron said softly.
"When your mission is over, the patent rights for [Burning Potion] will almost be released. At that time, I will take you to meet a person to learn more about the help I need."
"Okay, Senior Byron." Enzo nodded, caressed his chest and bowed before exiting the room.
The location of the investigation mission is far away from the academy, so Enzo first needs to solve the problem of transportation.
So, after leaving the courtyard, he took Demon Fighting Knight Dias directly to the trading area. After spending the price of three magic stones, he purchased a sturdy small carriage as he wished and gave it to Dias to drive.
Later, the two came to the living area.
Enzo went upstairs alone. After returning to the dormitory, he carefully packed his luggage and put some items that might be needed for the mission into the package. After confirming that nothing was left behind, he turned around and locked the door.
"Let's go." Sitting in the carriage, Enzo ordered.
Dias then pulled the reins and drove the carriage on the black stone road. After a while, he came to a blocked white stone gate.
"Please show your identification." A cold voice came from the stone door.
Enzo quickly took out the identity medal, and a red light was immediately projected on the stone door. After confirming the authenticity of the medal, it began to rise slowly, revealing a passage large enough for a carriage to pass.
"This time, I will have to leave for at least a month to carry out the mission."
The carriage gradually entered the passage leaving the academy. Enzo looked back and saw that the white stone gate was slowly descending. When the last light faded, he finally embarked on the journey to the Silver Deer Kingdom.
