Plague Incident

The mask was put back on.

Everything is back to normal.

"I will discuss this matter privately with Commander Kaimon and Vice Dean Hera."

The specific departure time should be set at the end of your Third Year year or the beginning of your senior year.

Perhaps you will be escorted to the mountains by the Knight Order in secret, or perhaps you will be going there for special training, or perhaps the three of you will need to find a way to get there on your own.

In short, be sure to prepare well before you set off.

This is a crucial opportunity; if handled well, it could eliminate the biggest hidden threat currently lurking in the Holy City.

No sooner had he spoken than Mr. Black and White vanished.

Since Abel hadn't participated in the [Secret Stone Incident], he was somewhat confused as to why Mr. Black and White would personally take over his broken seed matter. At the same time, Han Dong and Demps were also drawn into the matter.

Han Dong said with great certainty, "Since you have made your decision, the three of us will leave the city together and head to Adelaga Mountain."

"Is there a problem with the Writers Association?" Abel asked.

"It's just your suspicion, sir, and you haven't produced any evidence yet... Let's pretend nothing happened and proceed with this incident as normal, with the goal of breaking your seed, Abel."

I believe that the teacher will also provide us with some guidance behind the scenes at that time.

"OK..."

"Abel, since you've already taken a few days off, why don't you come with me to the Mysticism Department? We can spar with each other, maybe it can help stabilize the 'beast' within you."

Han Dong extended an invitation to Abel, as Han Dong also needed an opponent of similar strength to spar and train with.

"Okay! As long as I don't go back to the Knight Order, I'll do anything."

"Demps, are you coming?"

"I don't need it... I need to go back to the library to prepare properly, and I'll contact you again when I have time."

Demps seemed to have something on her mind.

"Okay, let's do it this way then. Anyway, we have plenty of time to prepare; we might have to wait a few more months before we leave the city."

Han Dong and Abel left the room one after the other.

Demps stood alone in front of the map, staring at the mountainous area marked with "CH. F," his expression not looking good.

"My mother has warned me many times not to go near this mountain area... Besides being under the jurisdiction of this Old God, there must be some other secret here."

Mr. Black and White really had a good plan; he wanted to use me and Nicholas to draw out the big shots in the Writers Association.

If this matter is not handled properly, I will fall into an endless abyss.

But... Mr. Black and White couldn't refuse.

Because we cannot think of the best solution.

Anxious Demps began scratching his body frequently with his Sixth Finger, peeling off layers of skin to the ground.

"As expected of the prophet of the Holy City, he probably planned all of this a long time ago."

The 'big guy' hidden in the Writers Association is naturally no pushover either, so much so that Mr. Black and White couldn't find any evidence about him, even in the big-name Secret Stone Incident last time.

This incident is bound to be extremely dangerous. Let's take some time to calmly cultivate ourselves... and then devise some escape plans, just in case."

Demps took a deep breath, straightened his clothes, and set off.

Instead of heading to the library, we went to the Third Floor of the Holy City.

Three months ago, Demps received an advance invitation from a certain Knight Order, qualifying him to enter the Knight Order's training...

Han Dong and his classmates are currently in the first semester of their Third Year.

The departure time is scheduled at the end of the Third Year or the first semester of the senior year, with a six-month break in between to allow everyone ample time to prepare.

Because they found Han Dong as their lifeline.

Whenever Abel couldn't hold on in the Knight Order, he would find an excuse to come to Han Dong for 'refuge'.

Han Dong also took this opportunity to have a real-world sparring session with Abel.

It must be said that Abel's fighting spirit combined with his bestial nature was quite terrifying.

It can avoid or block various spells by changing its form, and can immediately switch to a terrifying mad wolf or powerful bear form when in close combat to suppress Han Dong.

Each time they sparred, they both learned a lot.

in addition.

During one of his trips out of the city to the manor, Han Dong asked the Crow Elder about Adelaga Mountain and the meaning of [CH. F].

The Crow Person Elder unanimously advised Han Dong to stay away from the former king's territory under any circumstances...

It is said that this former king had an extremely strong desire to invade humanity.

Moreover, there are unspeakable dangers lurking within the Adelaga Mountain... However, the Crowman Tribe has never left the Gayn Forest, and they have no idea what the situation is like in the mountains.

And so, six months passed.

Han Dong and his group have only one month left before the end of their Third Year.

However, Mr. Black and White did not send any message about leaving the city.

During this long period of waiting and preparation, something happened.

Early in the morning, Han Dong, who had just woken up in the [Old Sewers], suddenly received an urgent message from the Royal Knights Academy... Such an urgent message to all Knight-Errant was extremely rare.

"All Knight-Errant, please proceed to your respective academy's general office to receive an emergency response mission. This mission cannot be refused; please execute it immediately upon receipt."

"Hmm? What's so urgent?"

Han Dong ascended the elevator and arrived at the student affairs office inside the Dark Moon Tower.

The floor was already packed with students from the Mysterious Academy.

"Nicholas, you're so slow!"

Han Dong squeezed into the crowd for a short while before two slender arms reached out to him.

"Mia, what's going on?"

"Didn't you know? About a week ago, a peculiar disease broke out in the Slums... The Oldest One infected people were a small number of homeless people."

Unexpectedly, the disease spread to several streets in just two days.

Currently, the Knight Order have completely isolated the infected area, which covers a vast area and involves tens of thousands of people... All manpower, including us Knight-Errant, needs to be mobilized to carry out special treatment in the Quarantine Zone.

"Hmm!? This isn't a common illness, is it?"

Han Dong was well aware that medicine was relatively backward in this era.

However, magic can play a crucial role in healing diseases. For example, Han Dong's mastery of Plague Studies can directly grant immunity to a large number of bacterial and viral infections, making him almost immune to illness.

Even if a highly contagious disease breaks out in the Slums, some knights skilled in this area should be able to control it in a short time and prevent it from escalating into Quarantine Zone.

"No... We'll only know the specifics after we accept the mission and report to the corresponding knight squad."

However, I heard that infected people will develop red rashes all over their bodies in the early stages of infection, and become extremely bloodthirsty or develop some strange things in the later stages of infection.

Hehe! That sounds exciting... Plus, this emergency mission has a great reward, let's do our best!

"Um."

A look of doubt flickered in Han Dong's eyes.

When such an uncontrollable large-scale event occurred in the Holy City, Han Dong immediately thought of the president of the Writers Association.

"Let's see what's going on first."

The writing doesn't feel right; it doesn't quite achieve the desired effect. I even deleted a chapter... Please allow me to update twice today while I gather some material and adjust the outline.
