Confidentiality

Hidden passageways in the Baker Manor.

Cas and the others were walking briskly downhill.

The sounds of fierce fighting could be faintly heard coming from the Depths.

"It's been over an hour! The battle is still going on... Is the target that strong?"

Sylest, who has been granted the title of "Punishment Knight," is located in the upper tier of Ordinary Knight... The enemies who can put her in a difficult battle are not even ordinary creatures outside the city walls.

The goal must be extraordinary.

"Once we discover that Knight Sylest is at a disadvantage and that we can hardly help her, we should immediately try to contact the Knight Order Outside World."

"Good..."

Sophia, who was on the same team, was extremely nervous and prayed silently, hoping that her sister would be safe and sound.

Sylest is a true knight, several levels above them in every aspect.

The seed in her mind has sprouted and grown into a unique Talent Tree.

If they couldn't even handle Sylest, they couldn't even imagine how powerful their enemy was.

"Huh? The sounds of battle have stopped?"

Just as the three of them descended into the cave, the sounds of battle abruptly ceased.

The sudden silence made Cas extremely nervous; the inside of his armor was soaked with cold sweat... The battle was over, but the outcome was unknown.

If Sylest is defeated, the three of them will perish once they venture deep into the cave.

"Fia, Koslin, you follow behind me! If we find that the evil thing still exists, we must escape from here immediately."

The three slowly ventured deeper behind the hidden stone pillars where the 'sacrificial array' was visible.

The scene that came into view shocked the three of them.

The huge weight that had been hanging over Cas's heart was finally lifted.

Scattered, disgusting tentacles

Black sludge overflowing the ground

A male skull crushed by a heavy hammer.

[The Fallen Beck] has been killed.

Sylest was exhausted. Supported by her light shield, she knelt on one knee... The divine power of retribution stored in her mind was almost completely depleted in this battle.

She will need at least ten days, or even longer, to rest.

Han Dong pretended to be in extreme pain, sitting in the mud with a blank stare.

"Elder sister!!"

Fia shouted loudly out of concern.

"Don't come any closer yet. Although the target is dead, the 'contaminants' have not been completely removed."

"You three go up there quickly and notify the church to come and clean up the contamination. Tell them the remaining contamination comes from creatures outside the city, and tell them to bring enough tools."

"It really is a creature from outside the city!!"

Just as Cas was about to leave, he looked at Han Dong, who was standing in the mud, with a worried expression and asked anxiously, "Should we take Andeva's friend back to the church for purification?"

Sylest replied, "No... Go and call for help immediately. I'll handle this matter of the Mysticism Apprentice."

"All right."

Since Sylest had said so, Cas had no choice but to obey and immediately lead his teammates back.

Cas, who was walking up the secret passage stairs, had a look of confusion in his eyes.

Why is Andeva's friend in the center of the battle against the "outside creatures"?

Moreover, judging from the contaminants on him, he seemed to have been involved in the battle against the creatures outside the city...

Fia, standing nearby, immediately voiced her opinion. "Impossible... This is a creature from outside the city. Knight-Errant would be doomed just by looking at it from a distance, how could he possibly fight it head-on!"

Andeva must have arrived at the scene at the very end of the battle. His sister deliberately left him behind to cleanse the pollution within him on the spot; otherwise, it would have been too late.

Cas declined to comment.

He had always believed that Han Dong had something special about him, and that he might have actually helped Sylest fight against the creatures outside the city.

"Let's report the situation to the church first. It's good that our friend Andeva is alright."

Underground Area.

Sylest gradually regained her strength, she looked at Han Dong, whose body was covered in mud and who even had two broken tentacles hanging on his head.

"Your level is higher than that of this creature from outside the city... I can consider keeping your affairs confidential."

However, to ensure the safety of the Holy City, I must take you to a mysterious department to hear Mr. Black and White's opinion.

If the Crow Prophet knows your situation and verbally confirms that you are harmless, I will naturally keep this matter buried in my heart forever.

Sylest is not good at expressing gratitude.

If Han Dong hadn't done all that, the outcome would have been her death.

However, I am grateful as much as I am.

Knights exist to protect the Holy City and to fight for the freedom of all mankind.

While Han Dong's current behavior appears harmless, it cannot be concluded that he is truly harmless to the entire Holy City... Therefore, as a knight, Sylest must confirm this.

"Yes... we can just say it here."

Han Dong unfolded the mysterious scroll that Mr. Black and White had given him earlier.

Dozens of crows immediately flew out from the center of the scroll, circling low in the air, pecking at the filth on the ground with their black beaks.

It can completely eliminate all pollutants in a short period of time.

The flock of crows then gathered in the center and transformed into a mysterious man wearing a black mask, a black suit, and a black cane.

"The Crow Prophet!!" Sylest quickly lowered her head.

"Yes, I originally planned to directly alter and hide your memories."

Since you're willing to keep it a secret, that's certainly for the best... After all, erased memories can be restored through special means, so it's not absolutely safe.

Sylest's head confirmed:

"As long as you Crow Prophet, agree, then there's no problem... I will keep this a secret! The blame for killing the creatures outside the city will be placed entirely on me, and will have nothing to do with him."

"Um..."

"By the way, does the ' Great Plague Lord ' know about this?"

"The commander doesn't need to worry about such things... I will handle this student's matter myself."

The conversation ended.

Mr. Black and White transformed into a crow once more, returned to the scroll, and vanished into thin air.

Just then, footsteps could be heard coming from the corridor, indicating that church officials were about to arrive.

Sylest immediately stood up and used Holy Light to cleanse the filth and residue on Han Dong's body... Then, she took the initiative to help Han Dong up from the ground.

"Kid, give me your contact information."

"Oh well."

This was the first time in Han Dong's life that a woman had asked for his contact information.

"And... thank you."

Sylest blushes every time she expresses such gratitude... it has to do with her own pride.

Sylest quickly regained her original haughty demeanor.

"Alright, once the church personnel arrive at the cave, you don't need to say anything! I'll take you directly back to the academy to prevent you from being taken to the church for baptism and giving yourself away."

Thank you.

that's all.

With Sylest's help, Han Dong left the mansion and boarded the train back to school.

The London Street Ghost Incident has come to a perfect end.
