Invitation Letter

Han Dong during his conversation with his senior.

The yellow sand covering the basement area gradually dissipated.

One of the wisps of yellow sand swept up the strange residue inside the [Scarlet Servant]'s body and secretly handed it to Han Dong, unnoticed by anyone.

Prisla stared blankly at the receding yellow sand...

Crow Sorcery are one thing.

What's going on with this yellow sand?

Even among the knights she knew from the Library, very few were proficient in this type of magic.

"What exactly is this?"

"Minor in library science, and knows some basic spells."

"A minor?! You call that knowing a little bit?"

Priscilla's observation skills are impeccable.

She clearly saw that Han Dong simply raised his left hand, without any chanting or extra spellcasting movements, and directly released the yellow sand spell that covered the basement using his arm as a medium.

When meat comes into contact with yellow sand, it doesn't just lose moisture.

Instead, a silicon crystal change occurs, resulting in instant death.

"Senior, let's quickly search the basement for any clues related to the ' Red Plague '... and then report the situation here to the Knight Order."

"Um."

The senior student brushed aside her seaweed-like hair and shifted her attention from Han Dong to the eerie, bright red basement.

What is certain is that this Scarlet Servant conducted some horrific experiments down there, and judging from the dates in the experiment log, he had been lurking there for at least a month.

However, it did not make any significant progress in its research, and simply continued to extract the red substance. It even cultivated some bright red plants in an attempt to concentrate the "blood wine" through the fruits produced by these plants, but all of these efforts ended in failure.

"Take the lab notebooks, some concentrated reagents, and fruits with you, and leave here as soon as possible."

Due to encountering invaders from outside the city, the squad returned to the blockade of the high-walled area.

After a thorough medical examination confirmed that none of the team members were infected with the Red Plague, they successfully left the Quarantine Zone.

A leader of the Holy Knight Order took over Han Dong and his group, along with relevant clues and intelligence.

"Well done! What you provided is very important, and the relevant rewards will be distributed later."

Knight Priscilla immediately pressed, "Have other squads also encountered [Scarlet Servant]?"

"Yes, but very few... It's now basically confirmed that the origin of the ' Red Plague ' is the invasion of scarlet life forms."

"How did these Scarlet Servant, who haven't even reached the Abyssal Demon Level, get into the Holy City?" Prisla was very puzzled by this.

"Currently, Commander Olivia has personally led a team deep into the Quarantine Zone to explore the methods and Pathway by which the scarlet life forms infiltrate... The Holy City may be undertaking Comprehensive Overhaul of the abandoned Underground Sewer area."

"Did your Holy Knight Order ' Grand Master personally take action? It seems this plague should be under control soon... However, we'll probably be conducting a [suppression] operation afterward, right?"

"I don't know, let's follow the instructions from above."

Thus, Han Dong and his team completed their task ahead of schedule by killing a Scarlet Servant, and the group's mission temporarily came to an end...

The Quarantine Zone can be left to other teams to handle.

"Knight Priscilla, if there's nothing else here, we'll go to the church to be baptized and Stress Release."

"Okay, go back and rest."

The female knight stared thoughtfully at Han Dong's departing figure, knowing she would definitely find time to investigate the student's true situation later.

"[Occultism]+ [Library], extraordinary investigative abilities, sand magic that requires no chanting, and a fluid combat style when facing such beings... It seems that only such a prodigy could catch the eye of Mr. Black and White."

Finally, the Mysticism Department has produced a top talent.

This kid is sure to shine at the Knight Selection... I definitely need to make time to go watch him."

Glug glug...

The wooden wheels of the horse-drawn carriage rolled over the uneven road.

Han Dong, Mia, and Flora have already undergone baptism and Stress Release.

"Nicholas, why don't you continue hunting Zerg hives or other infected in the Quarantine Zone? It's said that we can get 10 Copper Coin for taking down a Third Stage infected."

With your reconnaissance skills, you should be able to earn everyone at least a few hundred Copper Coin, right?

"It's unnecessary and risky... If a member of the Scarlet Villa who has reached the [Otherworldly Demon] level is lurking inside, it would be really troublesome if we happened to run into them."

The senior knight leading the group was also not good at dealing with this crimson life form.

Furthermore, if our Protective Suit are damaged, we are more susceptible to infection.

"Thank you, senior."

Flora knew very well that she was the most vulnerable to infection, and it was precisely because of this that Han Dong chose to leave the Quarantine Zone.

"Alright, let's leave it at that for today."

The carriage arrived at the station, and the Junior Schoolmate departed.

Mia, however, showed no intention of leaving and decided to spend the whole day with Han Dong.

Mia linked arms with Han Dong's arm and whispered in his ear, "Are you hiding something from me? Did you get some hidden information when you dealt with that Scarlet Servant?"

During Mia's questioning.

Clang, clang~ Another exquisite carriage arrived.

The person who got off the bus was none other than Demps.

Mia immediately realized that her relationship with Han Dong was over, and she immediately made a face at Demps.

"Come here and talk to me."

All three had some connections outside the city.

Han Dong obtained a mysterious item from the Scarlet Servant and needs to discuss it with everyone.

It wasn't because I was worried that the female student would get infected.

The main reason Han Dong chose to leave the Quarantine Zone was because of this mysterious object.

The three of them chose to talk in Demps's bedroom as the location.

These high-end dorm rooms also boast top-notch soundproofing.

"Demps, didn't you go to the Quarantine Zone for a mission?"

"I can easily avoid this by just asking Teacher Hera... Oh! Did the Vice Captain make some special discovery in the Quarantine Zone?"

"This thing! I found it inside a Scarlet Servant after I killed her."

Han Dong held an envelope covered with black and red patterns, with a soft texture and a long, rectangular wax seal on the closure.

The text on the wax seal is generally incomprehensible to the average person.

Han Dong and Demps were able to identify each other immediately.

"Invitation Letter Scarlet Villa"

"This!!"

Demps was alarmed and quickly drew the curtains to prevent the letter from being seen by others.

Mia, on the other hand, acted as if she knew nothing.

"Demps, you know something, don't you?"

"Hmm... Ever since Abel's last attempt to break the seed lingered in the Adalaga Mountains, I learned from a 'friend' about a special organization that also exists in the Adelaga Mountain - ' Scarlet Villa '."

This group of crimson beings, belonging to a certain old king, dwells in a secluded area high in the mountains and will launch a frenzied attack on any life that sets foot in their territory.

It may or may not be related to Abel's target, the Otherworldly Demon.

I also know something special: every year, "Scarlet Villa" sends out Invitation Letter to all sorts of evil spirits, Wild Monster, or strange beings. [Gayn Forest] is also among those they send out invitations to.

Only those who are invited are allowed to travel 'safely' to the resort to participate in their Red Banquet.

Drink the "Blood Brew," exclusively produced by the former king.
