Grouping

"Commander Hugo... you actually came all the way here in person for this preliminary round!"

Alonso Observer, the representative of the Witch God Knight Order, immediately stepped forward to greet this down-to-earth leader, showing respect for his elder in his words and actions.

The other representatives also bowed slightly to show their respect.

Even Though his appearance is quite different from that of a 'regimental commander', judging from the performance of the other sergeants and Vice Commander, he is certainly worthy of the title.

"The Demon Eye... why can't I see this person? Strange, what's going on?"

Out of curiosity.

When Han Dong tried to uncover the special qualities of this leader of the Secret Language Group, an unprecedented and bizarre situation occurred.

With just a slight use of the Mystic Eyes' abilities, increasing the visual intensity even slightly, Commander Hugo would completely disappear from sight, becoming visible only to the naked eye.

However, it was also because of Han Dong's 'spying'.

Even Though was only for a moment, it immediately attracted the attention of the regimental commander.

He tilted his head slightly.

A pair of ordinary eyes beneath the messy brown hair looked over and gave Han Dong a friendly smile, while also indicating that he should not pry into other people's privacy.

Thanks to the warm invitation from the two team leaders, and Mr. Black and White's continued support.

Han Dong had already made up his mind to choose only from the three Knight Order mentioned above...

Therefore, I did not go to the library to read the detailed introduction of the Thirteen Knights, and I knew nothing about this "Whisper Knight Order" who rarely appeared on weekdays and had relatively few knightly activities.

Naturally, they didn't recognize this unassuming Commander Hugo.

Han Dong quickly poked Demps's shoulder blade with his finger... Demps had a wide range of knowledge and naturally knew some information.

"Hey... could you explain who this Commander Hugo is?"

"Nicholas, you don't even know the leader of the Whisper Knight Order ... The Knight Selection has already begun, this is a bit strange of you."

"Haha... I haven't paid much attention to it."

Han Dong also a little helpless, as he had only just heard of the "Steam Knight Order".

"Anyway, the opening ceremony of the conference is just some unimportant speeches. Let me tell you in detail about the most mysterious and oldest of the Thirteen Knights Knight Order."

Tracing back to its origins, the Whisper Knight Order " have a history even longer than the ancient " Witch God Knight Order," evolving from an archaeological association founded by the very people who Oldest One built the Holy City.

The fundamental purpose of the Whisper Knight Order is to decipher the true secrets of life outside the city.

Use the unique [Archaeology] to obtain information that other knights cannot access.

The Knight Order are a unique type of scout, often serving as special support personnel on special out-of-town missions (such as tomb exploration and secret realm exploration).

At the same time, they are all masters of formations and architecture... The energy replenishment array, protective barrier, and city wall construction in the Holy City are all directly related to the Whisper Knight Order.

Of course, the construction of the city walls and some mechanical facilities were also related to the Underground Forge Citadel, the Mechanical Guild, and the Steam Knight Order.

"A master of archaeology, architecture, and Arrayology? Interesting."

Demps nodded slightly and continued to explain, "As for this Commander Hugo, he is a truly Mysterious Person. According to Vice Curator Hera, the Holy City has classified his file as top secret, and no one is allowed to access it."

Moreover, Commander Hugo is slightly different from the other captains.

He has neither participated in nor needed to participate in the Expeditionary Activity of the past decade or so, and he can also ignore the meetings in the Holy City.

Rumor has it that Commander Hugo and his cabinet team are dedicated to researching the nature of the Otherworldly.

Therefore, the council granted him special permission to be exempt from the duties of 'commander' and only need to carry out the research tasks assigned to him by the Holy City.

"He seems to be someone who doesn't appear to be that important on the surface, but is actually quite important..."

Han Dong's Intuition told him.

The most powerful Combat Power in the Holy City is undoubtedly the captains with strong individual strength, such as Alex the Grim Reaper and Malone, the Hell Monarch.

However, the people who truly maintain the stability of the Holy City and pave the way for the future are Mr. Black and White, and behind-the-scenes workers like this Commander Hugo.

Their work done in secret may be more difficult than their open confrontation with the Otherworldly Demons.

With the conclusion of the opening ceremony.

The preliminary rounds have officially begun.

Since Commander Hugo is here, let him explain the rules of the preliminary rounds.

He completely lacked the aura of a leader, and it even felt like Commander Hugo might fall asleep while reading these rule-making documents.

"Hello to all outstanding graduates."

In this preliminary round, you will be divided into different groups based on the assessment items you selected during registration and the results you achieved. You will then accompany the thirteen representatives of the Knight Order to different regions to participate in the preliminary round assessments.

The relevant group list will be shown by Alonso.

Ugh... I'm so sleepy.

Observer Alonso immediately took over, and with a gentle wave of his hand, he used magical essence to draw a detailed group list in the air.

Due to the issue of 'close kinship', Abel needed to be separated from the Behemoth Knight Order and was assigned to the Lionheart Knight Order - Truman, the Iron Head's assessment group.

Demps was assigned to the assessment group of the Witch God Knight Order - Alonso. Observer.

Mia was assigned to the assessment group of the Misfortune Knight Order - Arthur. Demonizer.

Winry was assigned to the assessment group of the Steam Knight Order - Mekatock Deep Copper.

Han Dong, on the other hand, was assigned to the assessment group of the Whisper Knight Order - Hugo Harrison.

"Everyone, do your best. Passing the qualifiers shouldn't be a problem."

They dispersed.

Han Dong arrived at the squad personally led by this Commander Hugo.

The assessment team consisted of eighteen people, most of whom participated in Perception Test during registration, while some were construction craftsmen apprentices from the Mechanics Department.

The subsequent preliminary rounds will also, to some extent, reflect the evaluation scores you received during the registration and testing phase.

"There's no need for everyone to be nervous. The qualifiers I'm in charge of are different from theirs."

All you need to do is go to the document room of my Knight Order and read some documents that have been copied from the lair of the demons.

Specific rules will be explained in detail upon arrival at the destination.

Please note in advance that you are about to enter a secret room where important cultural relics are stored.

Touching any artifacts without permission is strictly prohibited, or you will be disqualified... If there are no problems, let's all chip in and carpool to the headquarters of the Whisper Knight Order ".

"I'd love to hitch a ride... I was in a bit of a rush today, and I forgot to bring my Clockwork Device and Copper Coin."

"Forehead..."

Although everyone has heard of Commander Hugo's great name, going out without money and having to hitch a ride with students is really too low-class.

And quite coincidentally...

Apart from Han Dong, the other graduates in this group seemed to know one or two people each, and could simply carpool with each other.

"This student doesn't seem to have many friends. How about we share a ride? Once we arrive at the Whisper Knight Order ' workshop, I'll pay you half of the carriage fare."

Of course, if you're willing to pay for the fare yourself, that's fine too.

"I'll ask you to take a car, Commander."

"Thank you so much. I'm a bit short on cash lately... I've been unable to complete the mission assigned by the Holy City, and my finances are in serious deficit. The higher-ups won't approve any funds."

These days are just too hard to live, sigh..."
