Fia's Background

The Intelligence Station staff continued speaking:

"Due to the urgency of the matter, after discussion within the Knight Order, you will only have One Hour to prepare."

If you fail to find a knight to guide this mission within One Hour, the Knight Order will assign one directly.

During the execution of the mission.

The Clockwork Device in your hands will activate 'record mode', recording your entire experience, including clue gathering, exploration progress, and target elimination.

Rewards will be distributed based on the records after the task is completed.

If you rely too much on the knights, you will not receive any rewards.

Cas hesitated for a moment, then asked the staff member, "Um... could I see the revised Bounty Mission?"

"Certainly."

The staff handed over a distinctive white Bounty Mission.

Such "assistance-type Bounty Mission" are rare.

After all, it's rare for large-scale Abnormal Event to occur in the Holy City that require the knights to handle personally.

These assistance missions not only offer high rewards, but also allow you to learn combat experience from Formal Knight.

Once offered, numerous teams vie to accept it.

Cas looked at the highest reward on the Bounty Mission and tried his best to suppress his joy in front of the staff. "Okay, we will find a suitable leader knight within One Hour."

Please pay attention to the time issue.

As the staff left, Sophia, who was standing nearby, immediately asked curiously.

"Cas, what exactly is the reward?"

"A piece of Destiny Gear! And you can choose it yourself!"

"What!?"

Apart from Han Dong, who showed no reaction, the other two members of the team stood up in shock... This shows just how rare Destiny Gear is for Knight-Errant.

Han Dong stared at the short sword in his hand, feeling as if he had unexpectedly found a treasure.

Cas laid out the bounty poster.

It is clearly stated above:

[award]:

For assistance tasks, the team's performance will be divided into four levels based on the recorded information: unsatisfactory, satisfactory, good, and excellent.

①. As long as the team achieves a passing rating or above, each team will receive 600 Copper Coin, material rewards (optional materials, homemade equipment, potions), and 5 knight Credits per person.

②. Teams that achieve a rating of "Good" or above will receive additional rewards.

Good: Receive an extra 400 Copper Coin.

Excellent: Gain an additional Destiny Weapon of no more than "Superior" rarity.

"The basic rewards have also been increased by 15% to 30% on the original basis... If we can fight our way to 'Excellent', the team will have one more piece of Destiny Gear, and the overall strength will undergo a qualitative change."

The most important thing next is to find a team leader.

This incident is not simple.

Nearly two hundred ordinary people were brought into the mansion under control, and given that the incident itself involved evil witchcraft, it is possible that they were carrying out some kind of Sacrifice Ritual.

One Hour is enough for things to escalate.

We must find a knight of sufficient strength and who meets the requirements... The Bounty Mission states that the knight sought must not exceed the rank of captain.

After Cas briefly explained the situation.

Sophia, standing to the side, gritted her teeth. She had grown up in a special family and had read a lot of things in books.

It seems to link the current events with some horrific accounts in books.

Fia muttered, "If two hundred people are really used for sacrifice, there is a certain possibility that things outside the city walls will be brought in... Ordinary knights will have a great deal of trouble dealing with them."

I... I'll go ask my sister about this.

"Fia, is this alright?" Cas seemed to know a lot about Fia's family affairs and asked with concern.

"I usually don't bother my sister with her troublesome matters... but this time the situation is very strange. If my sister agrees, at least we won't be in any danger."

If my sister doesn't agree, Cas, you can go find someone else. I should be able to get there in half an hour.

"Alright."

After Sophia left, Han Dong asked her about her Young Lady background with some curiosity, "Who is Miss Sophia's older sister?"

"Friend Andeva, please keep this a secret... If it gets out, Fia could be in danger."

"Hmm... I'll definitely keep it a secret."

"Fia's background corresponds to a hereditary noble family, but I don't know which rank she belongs to."

Her older sister is none other than the famous [Punishment Knight] Sylest, who serves in the Holy Knight Order]. Currently, due to her young age and recent joining of the Knight Order, she has not yet been granted a military rank.

Their actual strength is comparable to that of some deputy sergeants.

She just turned 28 this year.

If Han Dong were a native of the Holy City, he would definitely be speechless with shock.

However, he didn't know much about these things, so his expression remained unchanged... revealing an awkward yet polite look of surprise.

Cas continued, "At first, we teamed up with Fia and didn't know anything about her background... until the last time we escaped from Death's scythe and successfully passed through the Destiny Space."

Fia's sister, Sylest, personally came to the teleportation exit and took the seriously injured Fia away.

Later, Fia contacted us and quietly explained everything. Of course, she only mentioned her relationship with Sylest, not her family background.

Han Dong nodded. "Hmm... If such an excellent knight is willing to help, we should be able to complete this mission with certainty."

While waiting for Fia.

The old woman who was captured alive has completed her examination.

The ' Physical Examination Report ' was handed in by the staff.

Inside the Holy Sanctuary, the Holy Knight Order on the Third Floor of the Holy City.

Since the London Street were right next to the Poseidon's Stair leading to the Third Floor, Sophia hurried along and arrived at the shelter in half an hour, where she met her sister, who was undergoing related training, in the central garden.

Golden hair cascaded down her white armor like a waterfall, undulating and shimmering with golden light.

Even Though her facial features were very similar to Fia's, this female knight's eyes revealed a kind of 'strength', and an invisible aura enveloped a ten-meter radius around her.

Unlike Sophia, Sylest specializes in the Crusader class, and later branches her Talent Tree as a Holy Crusade Army, a melee knight who wields holy light weapons.

"Fia, what are you doing here instead of studying at school?"

"Sister... I'd like to ask you for help."

Sophia was completely like a docile, even slightly timid, kitten in front of her sister, slowly handing over the white Bounty Mission.

Sylest somehow confirmed the knight's emblem branded in the lower right corner of the Bounty Mission.

"Hmm? The witch incident, hundreds of ordinary people were implicated, and it was completely contaminated."

"Fia, you're really lucky to run into something like this on the second floor... Who else is in the team?"

"It's the two who survived the last [Destiny Space], plus a Newcomer with a two-star [Mysticism Department."

"Two-star [Mysticism Department]? That doesn't seem to match your team's level."

"This was recommended by Captain Cas... He's quite special; he seems to be a top student in the [Mysticism Department."

"Alright, I'll lead this assistance mission... Time is of the essence, let's set off immediately!"

"Thank you, sister."
