After this task was delegated to the Gentlemen's Hall, two teammates were matched within half a day. There were two main reasons.
1. There are a large number of gentlemen who have reached their limit but never made a breakthrough. Don’t look at Yi Chen who already has two special relics. For most gentlemen, it is very difficult to find a relic that suits them.
Fight for a spot in the relic event, the dangerous gray area around the passage, and the one-day only exploration of the old world.
Even if the above three items are successfully passed, ancient relics dug out from the gray sandy ground on the surface of the old world may not necessarily correspond to their own attributes, and the relics themselves may even be missing a few cents and cannot be used for breakthroughs.
2. Levenholm is the third largest city under the organization and has many elite gentlemen stationed there.
The four people who were still [human beings] were arranged there, so they would not come into contact with the most dangerous areas, but would assist in completing some more ordinary backup tasks.
As long as you don't take the initiative to die, the risk is not particularly high.
If the subsequent difficulty of the event is judged to be beyond five-star, participants will also receive compensation from the organization. As Barry said, once they can make a good contribution to the event, they may receive relics directly donated by the organization.
Even if there is no direct relic reward, the next relic event will still get priority.
…
Yi Chen and the four others were taken to the second floor of the Gentlemen's Hall.
An old acquaintance, Director Aiji, who wears a tall hat and is responsible for the 'qualification review' of the four people.
This review is quite special. In addition to confirming that a certain attribute of the four people has reached the limit, it also has to conduct detailed verification to ensure that the abilities of the four people can play a corresponding role in supporting Levenholm.
To ensure privacy, team members will follow Director Aiji alone to the cubicle for private review.
As soon as he met Ai Ji, he stared at Yi Chen, who was standing at the end of the team, even half of his body was blocked by Barry's armor.
"It's you again... William? Why don't you just stay in the academy? You have to have a hand in such a dangerous thing.
You should be the first to come over and let me check you out first."
Because of the arrangement of the [Twilight Clinic], Aiji felt a certain amount of apologies for geniuses like Yi Chen.
Based on the internal information 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, so he silently raised the screening standards in his mind.
Enter the compartment,
When Director Aiji's palm touched Yi Chen's shoulder, the basic value he read shocked him. If the hat hadn't had a special buckle, he would have slipped off his head.
"You...have reached your physical and mental limits?"
"Just arrived a few days ago."
"You guy, you can barely pass the basics.
However, what happened in Levenholm is extraordinary and requires you to show a ‘specialty’, any skill will do. I will judge whether it is suitable for the Levenholm incident based on what you show.”
Ai Ji has already thought about it in advance. Yi Chen just needs to use his signature [Eye Technique].
He would veto his participation on the grounds that Levenholm had already arranged for a large number of visually perceptive gentlemen.
However, Yi Chen's eyes did not change, and Little Putao did not appear.
He simply extended his right hand as a gesture of shaking hands.
Just when the two people held each other's hands.
Some kind of mucus was secreted from Yi Chen's palm, and the danger stimulated his instinct and made Aiji quickly withdraw his hand.
Take a closer look,
This is a pitch-black liquid that emits black smoke and evaporates instantly after landing, leaving no trace.
"Director Aiji, I actually didn't plan to take on the mission last night.
As a result, when I visited the Magician's Association, I accidentally saw something about Levenholm and it was related to death. Some of the characteristics of death in my body had just awakened, so I decided to spend some time to go to Levenholm, and maybe I could gain something.
.”
Ai Ji shook his head helplessly. The young man in front of him was completely beyond his cognitive scope.
"Go, go~ Anyway, the fact that you are here means that Chamberson must have agreed. Let me explain to you in advance, the situation in Levenholm is worse than it appears.
A missing gentleman has been found and found dead at the bottom of a river.
He was a clinic apprentice who had reached the limit of coordination but had not yet broken through. According to the autopsy, he died without any resistance during his lifetime, and the possibility of suicide was very high.
After you go there, you must follow local requirements and do not investigate without authorization, let alone go to some dark streets and alleys alone."
"good."
As Yi Chen's test ended,
Teammates also followed suit and reviewed one after another. White-robed Lotson easily passed with his unique ancient magic.
Barry, who was born into a knight family, relied on his unique "knight aura" to pass the review.
As for the last old gentleman in the team, he was not called alone.
"Mr. Hervoye, I didn't expect you to sign up through such a conventional method."
"Occasionally I want to act with young people. Otherwise, if I stay in my small workshop all the time, I feel that my bones are about to completely age. Maybe one day I will lie down on my own..."
Director Aggie looked at everyone, "Since Mr. Hervoye is involved, the team will follow his arrangements throughout the process.
He was the original autopsy examiner at the Hippocrates Hospital. Many people of our generation received special care from Mr. Hervoye after their deaths.
He is also an elite gentleman himself and can effectively ensure your safety."
"Elite gentleman?"
Yi Chen and others were confused, 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 task was formulated three days ago, and it was reserved exclusively for the Magicians Association for three days.
When it was transferred to us today, the severe situation in Levenholm was far from what it was three days ago. Therefore, the content of the task was revised, and an elite gentleman will lead the participants.
That's all for now, let's get in the car without further ado. With every minute of delay, Levenholm's situation is getting worse.
I wish you all the best and hope that all of you will return in good health."
…
【Levenholm】
All residents are confined to their homes due to unknown deaths.
Some outsiders and people without real estate were centralized in hotels, concentration camps and other areas, and the doors of every household were sealed.
Daily food supplies will be distributed by the gentleman group downstairs or at the door of their respective homes.
Everyone is also very aware of the large number of deaths that have occurred recently. They all stay at home and obey the management. I hope that the gentlemen can eliminate the haze of death hanging over the city as soon as possible.
at noon,
A family of four lives in a single-family residential building.
The eldest daughter Mary is sixteen years old this year. Since she is unable to go to school during this period, she basically practices painting in the bedroom on the second floor every day.
Chirping~ There was a sound of birds chirping outside the window.
Mary immediately looked for the sound and found a row of starlings neatly landing on the telephone pole outside the window. It was strange that they didn't make any unnecessary movements, they just stood like this.
When the birds felt Mary's gaze, they began to move regularly.
Fly within the field of view visible through the window, stopping and moving.
Twenty minutes passed,
Mary's mother had prepared today's meal and called her brother and sister to come down for dinner, but it was only the younger brother who ran downstairs.
Because Mary often forgets to eat because she is so absorbed in painting,
The mother walked up to the second floor impatiently, ready to talk to her daughter about the painting.
As soon as she opened the door, bang! She was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground.
Mary was hanging in the center of the room using a hanging rope knot. She had already died. On her shoulders were still standing several starlings that had flown in from the window, and one was even pecking at her eyeballs.
