Visitor

The Stargazing Room, exclusively belonging to Mr. Black and White, is not only a restricted area for the Mysticism Department, but also an important place for the entire Royal Knights Academy.

There are only two ways to get to the Stargazing Room: either get special permission from Mr. Black and White or make an appointment a week in advance.

Even royalty and nobility would be very polite when they came here.

Knock knock knock!

At that moment, the door to the Stargazing Room was being banged on forcefully, with no intention of observing proper etiquette.

Mr. Black and White gestured for Han Dong to sit on a single sofa to one side, leaving the main sofa empty.

"Mr. Black and White has an appointment with a distinguished guest today?"

Han Dong remained silent, sitting to one side, wanting to see who would dare to disrespect even Mr. Black and White.

"Please come in."

As Mr. Black and White spoke, he reached out and hooked the door open.

The moment the door opened, an indescribable, immense pressure swept through the entire room.

The Beneficial Fungi in Han Dong's body went into a dormant state on their own, and his breathing became rapid.

Before the visitor even stepped through the door, a dark green aura of plague emanated from the area.

I thought the plague would spread throughout the room.

Upon closer inspection, the dense plague did not spread randomly.

Instead, it spreads outward in a wave-like pattern centered on this person, remaining within a three-meter radius.

"Plague Halo"

Because of my height, I had to bend down slightly to walk through the door.

The coat is made of various Beast Skin sewn together, and the buttons are replaced with delicate little skulls.

He wears a unique gold Knight Medal on his left chest.

The reverse side features the knight's mark of 'two swords crossed above a horse's head', while the obverse side displays the Plague Knights ' emblem—a three-ringed crescent (similar to the Plague Inc.'s logo).

It is about 2.3 meters tall, stronger than a bear, and wears a white Goat Mask on its head.

A giant axe, larger than his own height, was hanging diagonally behind him.

When this person enters the Stargazing Room, all weapons, halos, and helmets are removed.

With their rugged, unrestrained, and savage appearance, the Vikings naturally had beards as an essential part of their appearance.

Unlike the muscular clown, this man's physique, paired with his rugged face, didn't feel out of place at all... The overall sense of oppression he exuded far surpassed any formidable enemy Han Dong had ever encountered.

"Could this be... the Great Plague Lord!"

To be honest, this was very different from the Great Plague Lord in Han Dong's mind. He had Mysticism Department it would be an old man with a strong plague aura, dressed in the same Beak Mask Attire.

I never expected him to be such a giant.

"Oh! It's so much more comfortable sitting here..."

This person plopped down and took up the main sofa that could seat three people.

With a wave of his hand, Mr. Black and White sent a giant two-liter goblet filled with premium barley wine floating in front of the man.

Glug glug! He drank it all in one gulp.

"Comfortable... Black and White, these are the students you recruited?"

He wiped the barley wine off his beard and stared at Han Dong with wide, fierce eyes.

"Let me introduce you. This is the Grand Master of the Plague Knights, [Great Plague Lord - Moglenni]."

"This is my student, Valen Nicholas."

The Great Plague Lord on Han Dong's right arm, stared at it for a while before giving its assessment.

"Hmm... a pretty good freshman."

"Greetings, Great Plague Lord!" Han Dong immediately stood up and bowed.

"There's no need to be so polite, just be natural... Who taught you about 'plague'?"

"Professor Pasha Bhatt."

"That little girl? Hmm... not bad."

The Great Plague Lord only inquired about some superficial information before turning his attention back to Mr. Black and White, preparing to get to the main topic of their visit.

Mr. Black and White instructed, "Nicholas, go back and rest."

"Hey! It's alright. What I'm going to talk about this time isn't a secret. Letting your student hear it will broaden his horizons."

This Great Plague Lord was not at all restrained in matters of small things.

In fact, regardless of the content of the conversation, when two important figures are talking, juniors should naturally avoid the conversation.

"Hmm... then you can stay."

Mr. Black and White's words were a little strange. It seemed that his original intention was to get Han Dong to stay, but he was just going through the motions as a polite formality.

"Okay." Han Dong nodded and sat quietly to the side.

The Great Plague Lord pulled a strange map out of his Beast Skin.

The material was a kind of white leather, and the text on it was something Han Dong had never seen before... Moreover, the entire map faintly exuded an aura of 'pollution'.

"When Sergeant Samani went out of the city with the main force to fight on the ' Lothar Plains ' last time, she accidentally fell into a mysterious cave and found this map at the bottom. What do you think of it?"

Should we hand it in, or do it ourselves?

Mr. Black and White held the map in his hands, examining it closely, and said softly:

"A very advanced suturing technique; some of the materials used were ones I had never seen before."

The script above uses a new type of advanced script... Although the script used by the beings outside the city changes every year, this script seems to be a fusion of six or more scripts they used before, and belongs to an advanced script.

Based on the markings above, it is very likely that they point to an important stronghold or a treasure trove.

I suggest that this matter be handled internally by our Knight Order.

However, if I were to use astrology to observe, I might need to rest for more than a month and wouldn't be able to accompany you on your expedition.

The Great Plague Lord patted his chest and said, "Leave this to me. You don't need to leave the city... Just have one of your crow clones follow me and act as a scout."

Just then.

Han Dong, standing to the side, frowned deeply.

"Nicholas, what's wrong? Just tell me what you've discovered, don't hold back." Mr. Black and White noticed something unusual about Han Dong and immediately asked.

"I... I think I can understand the text on it."

Upon hearing this, even the Great Plague Lord cast a surprised glance... wanting to see what special abilities this little fellow recruited by Mr. Black and White possessed.

At least from the perspective of the 'plague', Han Dong is quite ordinary.

"Um..." Han Dong was still a little worried about his abilities.

"Fine."

A smiley crack appeared on Mr. Black and White's mask, indicating that Han Dong did not need to worry about his abilities being leaked.

It seems that leaving Han Dong here on purpose was for this very reason.

Han Dong was certain that he could understand it.

It was because when looking at the map, the hidden Lesser Demon Eye had seen some double images on the text, and could vaguely make out the meaning of some words.

[Opening Eye]

As Han Dong's Lesser Demon Eye between his eyebrows opened.

On this map, all the superimposed images of advanced scripts converged together, transforming into a script that Han Dong could recognize.

It was neither Chinese characters nor English, but Han Dong could still understand it.

"This is... Treasure Map!? Florence - Dragonbone Wasteland."
