Deep Night

late at night.

The first day of the training camp has officially come to an end.

The town center where the large estate is located.

Inside the large stone building that once belonged to the town mayor's office.

About a quarter of the Behemoth Knight Order members have gathered here.

They used the intelligence provided by the Night Watcher and various NPCs in the town to monitor the situation of the manor through the birds controlled by these intelligence agents.

It can monitor everything in the Stuart Manor and the dynamic information of all squads in real time.

Any unexpected situation can be dealt with immediately.

The person in charge of this training camp, Vice Commander. Sonam Hydra, also lives in the attic of this building.

Knock knock knock~

"Vice Commander, today's training information has been compiled."

The knight in charge of delivering the documents was a fairly strong but somewhat green-faced knight, a new Beast Knight who had just joined the Behemoth Knight Order " through the draft this year.

"Come in."

The door opened by itself.

The interior was pitch black, as if the Vice Commander had already fallen asleep.

Hiss hiss~

Several spotted snakes moved in the area illuminated by the light.

The knight could vaguely make out the silhouette of a slender human figure on the large bed, which seemed to be wriggling gently like a snake. He quickly lowered his head and looked away.

"Vice Commander, where is the report you put?"

"Hand it to me."

The voice surrounded the young knight, leaving him no choice but to step into the room.

In fact, the knight himself was well aware of one thing.

Within the Behemoth Knight Order, everyone preferred to deal with Commander Kaimon under pressure rather than speak to the Vice Commander.

The young knight was only forced to come upstairs to submit the documents because he lost a game of rock-paper-scissors.

Tread!

As soon as I stepped into the room.

At least hundreds of snake eyes were watching him from the shadows, but this knight, who had faced death to reach this point, remained calm and continued walking towards the foot of the bed.

Various cold, venomous snakes swam past his feet.

Some venomous snakes will even actively attach themselves to his body... During this process, there must be no actions that reject or harm the venomous snake.

Otherwise, it will anger the Vice Commander.

As I gradually adjusted to the darkness, I approached the edge of the bed.

The young knight saw his Vice Commander Hydra sleeping in bed with a giant python.

"Vice Commander, the report?"

In the darkness, a snake's tail, slippery, cold, and with a distinct soft scale structure, slowly emerged from the bedding and began to coil around the person's body.

"I don't really want to read text-based content. Just tell me the key information directly."

The person immediately replied in standard British English: "There are only two emergencies that have reached the yellow alert level."

First, there is a significant Pollution Leakage in the Graveyard District. The three nearby Night Watcher are currently dealing with it, which has temporarily prevented the five basic tasks related to the "Graveyard District" from being carried out. It is expected that the problem will be fully resolved by tomorrow.

Secondly, a large-scale Wild Monster raid occurred in Gayn Forest, slightly affecting the southwest of the manor. Nine Night Watcher have been dispatched to handle the situation.

"Hmm... We'll send six temporary Night Watcher to fill the vacancies."

"OK."

"If there's nothing else, come to bed and chat with me. I remember your name is Hornm, and you did quite well in your electives this year."

Hydra asked the question while dragging the Newcomer knight along with her snake tail.

Just as Hornm was being dragged and forced to kneel on the bed, he touched a cold, slippery body... and suddenly remembered something.

"Oh, right, there's something else that's rather special."

"What's up?"

"The team with the highest total points today is not from the Third Year."

"Oh? These sophomores are pretty capable."

"No... The one with the highest total points is the eldest grandson of Commander Kaimon."

This refers to the freshman team led by Abel Raine, who just enrolled this year... the only freshman team in this training camp.

"Huh!? What?"

These words were spoken.

Vice Commander Hydra immediately controlled the venomous snakes in the room, turned on the kerosene lamp, and grabbed today's brief report.

"Ranked first on the first day's leaderboard, completed three basic tasks, one of which involved an underground task related to the true nature of the 'Great Manor'? These kids can't possibly be that capable."

Abel was indeed a genius, but not to that extent.

Are there any special Newcomer mixed in with this group of freshmen?

"This... Valen Nicholas. The Vice Captain personally appointed by the captain, he seems to be a student of the Crow Prophet."

"The Crow's Student? No wonder... Keep an eye on them. If they're still in first place tomorrow, I'll go see for myself what special skills this Vice Captain has."

"Okay... then what about me?"

"Go down, I want to sleep."

Upon hearing this, the Newcomer knight breathed a sigh of relief and quickly left the room... leaving Hydra half-lying on the large bed, gently stroking the large python beside him.

"Students in black and white..."

The snake's tongue came out of her mouth.

Great figures like Hydra have already undergone significant transformations through the "Destiny Space," even becoming a Special Existence that transcends both humans and snakes.

"I want to see what's so special about the people chosen by Black and White."

Newcomer Special Squad - Residence.

All three basic tasks in the "Wheat Field District" were completed within one day, exceeding the expected target.

Inside the second-floor room, lit by a kerosene lamp.

Most of the staff gathered here, posting the three clues and intelligence sheets from the mission rewards on the wall for summarizing and analysis.

An important clue has been deduced: there is also an underground space in the Wheat Field District.

The entrance is located in the Wheat Field District.

A barn guarded by the Night Watcher.

Ordinary knightly groups are forbidden from entering this place; relevant clues must be provided to this Night Watcher before the barn doors will be opened.

The barn project is scheduled to take place tomorrow, according to Captain Abel.

However, Han Dong was not among the majority of the people gathered in this bedroom.

Han Dong was left alone on the first floor.

He studied late into the night in a room assigned to him, reading the special notebook he had found under the Apple Tree.

If a regular team were to carry out the ' Apple Tree ' mission, they would absolutely not be able to find such clues.

When the ' Vine Evil Spirit ' residing inside are eliminated, the Apple Tree will immediately wither, and the inner chamber buried at the bottom will immediately collapse and disintegrate...

Han Dong was in charge of the fighting while Chen Li was in charge.

Ignoring all distractions, a search of the Treehouse revealed the book "Girl's Diary" in a locked drawer at the very bottom of the bedside table.

From this, we learned that the girl came from a family of farm servants in the small town.

We also learned about some of the special 'management' methods of the Stuart Grand Manor more than two hundred years ago.

"No wonder... this place has become an evil place."
