The Obedient Crowfolk

He reached out and touched the Crowman's forehead.

The crow spoke indistinctly:

"Put... p... in... inside!"

Han Dong naturally understood what the Ya people meant.

Tentacles emerged from the palm of his hand.

In a friendly state, Han Dong can also control the tentacles, making them non-aggressive.

They merely touched the crow-man's brain with their tentacles to establish a connection at the Consciousness Layer.

Bite!

Consciousness connection.

"My lord! Hello... I Duoze Crow."

They are Bo Crow and Leiji Crow.

Our nest is in the forest not too far away... We flew into this dangerous manor at great risk because we smelled your scent, sir.

We only dared to stop in the border area; thankfully, you came here too, sir.

Han Dong was somewhat surprised.

Surprisingly, these crow-people, who evolved from crows, also possess sound consciousness and are not at all stupid when it comes to communication.

"You can also sense the danger here?"

"Compared to you, sir, we are far inferior, but we can still detect the strength of basic auras... If you need our help, sir, we are willing to die for you."

These crow people also share similar 'beliefs'.

They were able to give their lives for Han Dong immediately after getting to know him... At least in this respect, humans are completely incomparable.

Those who are not afraid of death and face it head-on are fundamentally different from ordinary soldiers.

"No need for that, I'll handle things here... I have a question."

"Please ask, sir."

Why do you consider me an "adult"? What characteristic of mine makes me seem "higher" than you?

Duoze Crow slightly turned its head.

"Actually, we are also very surprised."

After all, you look exactly like a human, and you also exude a human aura... However, within these auras, there is still a unique 'qi' that belongs only to you.

Because a certain physical characteristic of adults is also related to us 'crows,' we are able to recognize it, something other animals cannot.

"You still haven't answered my question? Which part of the body?"

"Head..."

"So it really is the head? Regarding my head... how much information can you decipher? I'm currently disguised as a human, infiltrating the Holy City to gather information, and I need a definite answer from you."

When Han Dong asked this question, the crow people seemed a little nervous.

"I can't see anything, I can't see anything at all... but through your crow-like qualities, I can vaguely sense that your head is far superior to ours."

However, this feeling was very faint.

It's impossible to tell which category you belong to, sir.

"Alright then." Han Dong nodded.

"If you have no further instructions, we will be leaving."

The three of us have absolutely no desire to remain in this stinking manor... If, sir, you have resolved matters here and need to return to the Holy City, you may call upon us for a full escort.

"Like this..." Han Dong transmitted a message into the mind of the Crow People.

"Okay! We will definitely do it."

Han Dong removed his hand, ending the communication at the Consciousness Layer.

Caw caw caw~~ The three crowmen put on a 'well-behaved' look and spread their wings to fly back to Gayn Forest.

When Han Dong returned to the barn area and reunited with the team, everyone stared at him with surprise and doubt... even Demps showed a rare expression of curiosity.

The crow-lover seems quite interesting.

Wenli the Blacksmith first inquired:

"Wow! Nicholas, how come you can get along peacefully with the [Crow People]? Although they are neutral, they can become very ferocious when they get close to outsiders... Just now, they seemed to listen to you."

"I had a wonderful feeling from the beginning that I could communicate with these crow people."

So I let you go first, and I went to see if it would work properly... I didn't expect it to actually work.

This seems to be directly related to the mark Mr. Black and White gave me.

Han Dong pointed to the back of his right hand, where Crow's Mark was faintly visible.

As long as it involves Mr. Black and White, no matter how strange it is, everyone can understand and doesn't ask any more questions.

"However, those three crow-men are low-level Wild Monster. They are afraid of the manor and dare not come in, so they are useless... Let's go! Let's go to the front door of the barn."

At the entrance of the barn stood a burly knight.

It exuded an aura of ferocity that was invisible to most, and ordinary knight squads dared not approach it.

Beneath the hood was a terrifying face covered in stubble and bearing three claw marks on its fleshy features.

However... this time the situation is a little different.

The barn keeper saw that the leader of the assembled knights was Abel the White.

His original fierce appearance vanished completely.

Instead, he revealed a simple, honest smile, and the fat on his face twitched.

Her standard standing posture immediately relaxed, and her large belly immediately protruded.

"Young Master Abel! What brings you here? It's very dangerous here... You'd better stick to your basic mission."

The knights in the Behemoth Knight Order must all know Abel.

But Han Dong had never seen such a 'visible' knight before; he was clearly a professional simp... no, he should be called a simp.

Even Abel used honorifics, his licking was just right... I wonder what kind of divine licking this person would do in front of Commander Kaimon.

"Uncle Derson, we're here on a mission... This is the ' Wheat Field District ' clue we've gathered. Based on our deductions, our next step is to enter the barn."

"This!!"

The Bearman uncle Derson stared at the three clue letters in his hand, each bearing the seal of the Knight Order, with a look of astonishment on his face.

It's unbelievable that this Newcomer team completed three basic tasks in just one day...

"Young Master Abel, your strength is truly worthy of being the descendant most recognized by the great Commander Kaimon! It is my great honor to Behemoth Knight Order. I hope I can live to Young Master the day you become the commander."

Abel gave an awkward laugh, "Um... Uncle Derson, let's get to the point quickly, shall we? You should have some advanced quests for us, right?"

"Yes! There is indeed a mission for you."

Just then.

The sharp, fierce cries of birds echoed through the sky.

Before anyone knew it, a man with a Mediterranean hairstyle and a vulture perched on his shoulder appeared before them.

"Sergeant Kenny!!"

Bearman immediately bowed at a 90-degree angle, some sweat dripping from his forehead... Sergeant Kenny was quite strict when training his troops.

"Derson, I will handle everything in the barn... You will go to the town area and carry out patrol duties."

"Yes, Captain."

The Bearman uncle handed over all his work and left.

Kenny stared at Abel and the others with a serious expression.

"Derson isn't really suited to start the advanced 'Barn' mission for you, so I'll take over... First of all, I'm very happy to see you top freshmen perform so well on the first day."

However, advanced missions may differ from basic missions.

This barn holds the biggest threat in the "Wheat Field District, with a target related to the "curse" and a difficulty level of three and a half stars.

I advise you to consider abandoning this mission.

If you are willing to give up, I will lead you away from the manor to the Gayn Forest for "wilderness survival," where you will earn points based on the number of Wild Monster you kill.

That's enough to get your points to the "Good" standard! As the captain and Vice Captain, you'll also receive an "Excellent" rating.

Without the slightest hesitation, Han Dong decisively rejected the suggestion, saying, "Sergeant Kenny, we still intend to look at the 'Barn District' mission scroll."
