"The Night Watcher Mission!?"

Han Dong had only heard that the Night Watcher were mainly responsible for security during the training camp, and that under certain circumstances (such as collecting certain clues or deducing some key information), they would proactively approach the team and give them some tasks to gain a deeper understanding of the manor.

I never expected this.

During his nighttime stroll with Abel tonight, Han Dong, as is his habit, meticulously observed his surroundings.

An unexpected discovery of two Night Watcher looked Movement Speed triggered a special mission.

It must be said that the Knight Order have a lot of experience in designing "camp missions," giving participants a sense of immersion in a "real investigation."

"Nicholas, you're really something!"

Abel was so excited that his white hair and ears trembled slightly.

"Let's go back to our quarters first... This shouldn't be seen by other squads."

Han Dong quickly picked up the Night Watcher's clothes and lantern, and returned with Abel to their room on the first floor of their dwelling.

He locked the door and didn't tell anyone about it.

The letter is temporarily placed on the table.

Let Abel first explain his understanding of the Night Watcher Mission.

"I've heard about it from Behemoth Knight Order."

The "Night Watcher Mission" is a special mission mode that was approved by the Council twelve years ago and officially implemented in the training camp. It can effectively increase the variability and elite selection of the training camp.

The number of "Night Watcher Mission" is extremely small and they are very well hidden.

It is difficult to detect and very difficult to trigger.

Often, the "Night Watcher Mission" set during a training camp are not fully completed even after the camp ends.

"Is it like a hidden quest?"

"Hmm... a hidden mission with a high level of difficulty, or rather, a rare and serendipitous opportunity."

I never expected that we would trigger it in this way.

After all, no one really went back to pay special attention to the Night Watcher's appearance, especially since their faces were covered by hoods and were difficult to see in the limited firelight.

Nicholas, how did you do that?

"I just habitually observe the details of my surroundings to keep my brain active at all times."

Just like you, Abel, who always keeps your body in a relaxed state, you are able to cope with any unexpected situation.

"Sharp."

Abel didn't know the specific details either.

The envelope was opened, and a delicately folded black sheet of paper slid out.

A string of unusual words was written on the front of the paper.

"Because of your unique insight, a special Investigation Mission will be assigned to you and your companions— the Night Watcher."

The back of the paper contained detailed instructions for the task.

[Assist the Night Watcher, Jon Tester, in completing a night watch task]

Description: Once Jon Tester is found, he will arrange a night watch.

Reward: Night Watcher Medal (Apprentice)

Note:

①. When performing Night Watcher Mission, one must wear the Night Watcher attire.

②. You can only get the corresponding reward if you gain the approval of the Night Watcher; otherwise, the mission will be considered a failure.

"Jon Tester... must be the Night Watcher looks exactly like him."

Abel whispered from the side, "Once you take on the night watch, it might last all night or even longer. Nicholas, you used up a lot of energy fighting against the Barber Charlie today, and then you got the red apple... How about we think about it tomorrow night?"

Han Dong quickly waved his hand in refusal.

"No need, I'm in good spirits... If I can finish tonight, I can get a good night's sleep tomorrow morning."

After all, our team has already completed three tasks, so a half-day rest won't hurt. Besides, only our small team can enter the barn.

"OK."

"By the way, what is the ' Night Watcher Medal '?"

"I've only heard people mention it... The Night Watcher don't just exist during the training camp; they're a secret organization in the Holy City that isn't publicly known."

Non-knights had no idea of this group's existence.

I'm not entirely clear on the specifics either.

"The Night Watcher... is it a clandestine organization?"

Han Dong became curious and looked at the clothes he had picked up. "There's only one Night Watcher outfit."

Captain Abel humbly declined, saying, "It's all thanks to you, Nicholas, that this mission was initiated. You put it on... I'll go with you. If I'm not qualified for the mission, then we'll talk about it."

"OK."

Han Dong put on a black coat, picked up a lantern, and found [Jon Tester] five streets away.

After submitting the letter.

Jon the Night Watcher pulled back his hood, revealing the face of a middle-aged man with short brown hair and a full beard.

Jon frowned, and immediately spotted the familiar young man. "Abel? What are you doing here?"

In Jon's opinion, the person who could trigger this secret mission should be Third Year student with exceptional insight, not the leader's beloved grandson... After all, the mission is too dangerous.

Abel explained briefly, "Actually, the one who mainly discovered the Night Watcher Mission was... Nicholas, who noticed that you look exactly like another Night Watcher."

"Hmm..." Jon was clearly not optimistic about the new students, but First Year his concern was for Abel's safety.

"Let me just tell you directly... the tasks that require your assistance are very difficult and risky... not suitable for you freshmen to undertake."

I can request the Vice Commander to allow you to relinquish this night watch mission, and you will receive 3 points as compensation.

"What if we insist on following you, Knight Jon, on your night watch missions?" Han Dong was very interested in the "Night Watcher" group, and naturally did not want to give up such an opportunity.

"You are also First Year freshmen, you should know your place... Let me first tell you about the 'night watch' work that you need to help me complete."

About ten hours ago, a team was carrying out a mission in the Graveyard District when the pollution index spiked.

The incident resulted in both Knight-Errant falling into a state of "Deep Corruption," and they are still in critical condition, with some even showing signs of skin decay and minor deformities.

Several Night Watcher are in the cemetery investigating the source of the pollution eruption and attempting to contain it.

Your upcoming "night watch" is also directly related to the cemetery... You should know that older Knight-Errant are completely defenseless; the danger is self-evident.

"Hmm... please lead us there, Knight Jon. We are willing to do our utmost to assist Knight Jon in handling the cemetery incident."

When Han Dong said this, Abel, who was standing next to him, nodded in agreement.

"Hey! Come with me... Abel, put on this coat."

"When we're carrying out the tasks later, make sure you stay close to me. If I deem you unqualified to assist, I will immediately disqualify you from the mission."

Jon also looked helpless.

Of all people, it had to be the regimental commander's beloved grandson.

If other Knight-Errant come along, it doesn't matter if they get killed.
