Chapter 268: Good Friends |
At the pronunciation of Abel. The head of the school was quite proud of himself when he pronounced Abel Ryan's name.
He was proud of the fact that it had been nearly ten years since he had received an 'excellent' rating for his training as a new student.
The most important point here is that both teams found, and completed, the difficult task of the Nightwatchmen.
Lucius the Blood Knight passed due to his sense of smell for blood.
With a treasure map obtained from the basic quest, he discovered a hidden underground labyrinth hidden in one of the town's courtyards, and in the deepest part of the labyrinth, he obtained the "Blood Essence Stone" that opens the Nightwatchmen quest.
It corresponds to the [Night's Watch Quest - The Red Count].
This quest involves the Great Lord's father, Rothesch Stuart. The overall difficulty was slightly higher than the Nightwatchmen quest that Han Dong had taken.
Also.
Han Dong and Abe were able to achieve an 'Excellent' rating and received an additional 30% fresher's points.
Lucius' squad progressed as if they were on a roll, completing more than double the number of basic missions as Han Dong's team and killing a bit more family officers (including Grease Barbara and the Witch Ghost).
The above five were rewarded as follows.
Certificate of Honor
1000 bronze coins rewarded
Medallion "Survivor+" (10% discount on shopping, 10% extra gold income from bounty missions)
Medal "Nightwatchman (Trainee)" (Holders of the Order of Change can take up the difficult [Night Bounty] in the Adventurer's Guild and choose to take the Nightwatchman conversion test at the same time as the Investigator test in the future and become official Nightwatchmen once they succeed.
There were no physical rewards given, and the Holy City preferred that the trainee knights could obtain equipment and props through the 'Destiny Space'.
The prizes were awarded.
Each of the thirteen knightly orders sent a knight to this place to make a record of some rather outstanding trainee knights in advance, which might be targeted and given some preferential treatment in future graduation ceremonies.
"Wait everyone ... I've booked a private room in the school's fancy canteen; let's all have a meal together to celebrate our successful return!"
Abel Rayne was the first to call out to everyone at the end of the awards.
This was what he was supposed to do as captain.
Whether it was the cooperation between the squad during the training sessions, the help Han Dong had given in the [Night Watch mission], or the continued cooperation in the subsequent events.
This meal was a must.
At the dinner table.
Abel's bold side was immediately on display.
He drank several glasses of strong wine in a row.
Although his face remained unchanged, his true inner side was tickled by the alcohol.
His firm and strong-arm slammed on Han Dong's shoulder.
"These three glasses of wine count as my toast to Nicholas alone.
This training set was all thanks to Nicholas' layout and stealthy tactics. A large half of this Trainee Nightwatchman medal of mine is also inseparable from Brother Nicholas."
Abel held Han Dong tightly in his arms and kept pouring wine into his mouth.
He was so emotional that his beastly nature was aroused, and some furry hair grew out from between his arms and floated gently on Han Dong's cheeks, which was very comfortable ...
The actual strength of Abel's fighting power can't be underestimated.
Although the training period did not give Abe much opportunity to show, just the fact that he forcibly tore through the protective layer and five outer skin of the mother nest gatekeeper is enough to illustrate Abel's strength.
Once the talent tree was formed, Abel's 'hundred beast physique' would be further perfected.
In addition to this relationship with the head of Kemon, Abel is very necessary to befriend ... Therefore, for Abel's 'enthusiasm' Han Dong did not reject it.
On the contrary, Mia, who was on the side, was furious when she saw how close the two were.
Abel continued, "Everyone must contact each other more often in the future, if the [Destiny Space] has the same entry period, we can team up with each other and cooperate to pass the higher difficulty destiny events to obtain the maximum reward.
And of course ... don't always think about hugging the vice captain's thighs, you need to rely on yourself a lot of the time too."
Abel's latter statement was directed at Wendy.
It also made Wendy, who was across the table, spit out her tongue with an embarrassed look.
Indeed, for Wendy, a novice who had never once entered the real Destiny Space, if she could hug the vice captain's thigh, she could not only greatly improve her survival rate, but also learn a lot of useful experiences.
"It's fine ... Miss Wendy's 'first time', if you need any help, feel free to call me."
As said before, Han Dong was willing to befriend someone as innocent and kind as Wendy, at least he didn't have to be always on guard.
"Thank you, Vice-Captain."
"I'll take it too!!!" Mia on the side couldn't hold it in, and when this roar came out, even Dempsey couldn't help but laugh out loud.
The wine and food were full.
Everyone opened completely and talked about life stuff.
Abel also showed his true colors, all furry and red from drunkenness, tears immediately welling up in his eyes as he talked about his studies.
"More than twenty tutors, daily one-on-one tutoring can you imagine? It's so exhausting ... once I think about returning to this hell tomorrow, it's so hard for me!"
"I probably need to read ten sub-level readings a day, and I must also write more than 20,000 words on each one ... hahahahaha." Dempsey's smile hid a miserable look.
For a while, the wine table turned into a misery comparison session for the school bully.
Han Dong was fine, although he did not sleep for long every day.
But reading and studying was Han Dong's hobby, and he wasn't tired at all ... If his brain didn't need to rest, he would even like to study all the time.
"Guys, I have things to do this afternoon! Just leave now, if you need any help, feel free to contact me."
"OK ..."
"I'm coming with you." Mia posted decisively.
"No, I have a personal business I need to take care of, Mia you can stay and chat with everyone ... If that's your 'request', that's fine."
"Bah, no way! You go, I'll keep everyone company ... Wait, you're not going to that Knight Vino Celeste, are you?"
"Who knows."
As Han Dong smirked and exited the private room, Mia was so angry that she was about to lift the table.
He had just left the canteen.
Han Dong immediately called for a carriage to head to the North City Gate.
In Han Dong's opinion, the most important thing today was not the award ... but leaving the city.
Who knew?
Han Dong had just taken a step onto the carriage and before he could say his destination, the carriage sped off towards the north city gate.
And the carriage would have had a passenger inside.
"Sir ..."
This was the first time the carriage had met like this, and Han Dong was getting used to it and was no longer surprised.
"It is indeed good to make friends with the top freshmen ... especially this apprentice of the old blacksmith, who will be of great help to you in the future."
"Miss Wendy? Hmmm ..."
One must admit that when it comes to specialness, Wendy is the most special of all.
The carriage slowly changed into Mr. Black and White's personal carriage during the journey - [The Raven Messenger's Car].
No censorship was needed, and it drove straight out of the city gates.
