Chapter 365: Unexpected Trade

“Death God…”

Whenever this person was mentioned, an image of a man riding a skeleton warhorse and holding a large sickle would emerge in Han Dong’s mind.

After all, Han Dong witnessed this epic scene up close while on the runaway carriage.

Knight Vino cleared her throat, “Eh hem, Captain Alex was born closely associated with death, and he has been universally recognized as the number one in the academy, and his strength has reached the level of a regular knight.

Speaking of which, you’re not thinking of… challenging the demon, are you?”

“Ha ha? I was just curious and wanted to ask, I’m still two years away from [Breaking Seed].” burst Han Dong into laughter.

In reality, he had already begin to plan for [Breaking Seed] in his mind.

By then, Han Dong will make use of his “manor” to order the crowmen to fully find a demon suitable for himself to finish [Breaking Seed].

After all, this is related to the formation and future development of the Talent Tree, Han Dong will need to do his best.

Vino tapped the center of Han Dong’s forehead gently with a clean spoon in her hand, “Hey, what are you thinking about…By the way, have you planned in advance about joining the Knight Regiment?

With your talent, you should be able to join the Knight Regiment in preparation, and you can start the orthodox knight training one year in advance.”

“Is Vino trying to poach me? Ha ha… I mean, surely the Holy Knights Group wouldn’t want someone like me.”

The two hadn’t seen each other in several months.

Indeed, compared to the past, Han Dong gave off a slightly darker aura… the Holy Knights Group would never accept someone like him.

“What do we need you for? I was just asking if you have thought about it.”

“After all, I follow Mr. Black White, so there’s a good chance I’ll join the Plague Knights… but of course, there might be other options.”

Just then, Knight Vino extended an early olive branch.

“Ahem… when you become a formal knight, you’ll often have ‘investigation tasks’ to undertake. I’m reserving a spot for you in my action squad in advance.

I’m one of the few omnipotent knights who can withstand attacks and provide enhancement attributes… Our team only accepts elites.”

“Okay.”

Han Dong smiled slightly, as he naturally accepted it in advance.

However, this is at least two years in the future… It’s normal for the agreement to change.

……

Since he had already explained the issue about the ‘arm’, Han Dong no longer thought about it and waited for the delivery.

In a month’s time, Deputy Curator Lady Hera still has to check Han Dong’s progress in magic learning.

In the meantime, Han Dong would stay in the [Library] as a visiting scholar for a long period, with the majority of the early stage spent reading the entry-level books given by Lady Hera.

After understanding the basic theory of magic, Han Dong began to attend lectures in various classrooms.

While keeping his eyes on the teacher, he kept taking notes. It felt like he was back in his university days.

After class, Han Dong would also pester the teacher to ask some very tricky and weird questions.

Most of the time he would be ignored by the teachers, only a small portion of teachers would be willing to answer carefully.

This was completely different from studying in the Mysterious Department.

There were no shortcuts to learning magic.

One must understand the most basic knowledge of magic,

Memorize every basic spell, and also understand the ‘repulsion’ between some spells to avoid backlashes during casting.

It can only be built up through the most conventional methods such as memorizing, understanding, and digesting… Unfortunately, Han Dong was quite adept at this.

At the beginning, Han Dong cast a wide net, trying to understand every type of magic.

However, unlike Dumps, who has a ‘golden finger’ and could excel in all areas, he eventually found that the most suitable magic for him was still “Black Magic”.

The teacher in charge of the basic introductory teaching of black magic also had a rather peculiar personality.

Every time Han Dong went up to ask questions, he would be met with cold eyes. He didn’t answer any questions from Han Dong, the ‘visiting scholar’.

……

Meanwhile, during this study period.

Thanks to the high bounty of 5,000 copper coins, three Knight Squads had made contact with Han Dong.

Two of the arms came from common magic entities in a Fate event, not belonging to the BOSS level… Having nothing too special, Han Dong wouldn’t naturally take them.

However, one arm caught Han Dong’s attention.

It came from the world of “Hell Baron,” from a disciple named Gregory E. Dyrus of the mage Merlin.

A mage of fire and curse.

Belonging to this Knight Squad, it was a hidden BOSS encountered when they were guided to Merlin’s burial mountain due to an Excalibur clue triggered midway. Its power was rather formidable.

The returned arm was frozen using an ice crystal; the flame curse runes flowing on the surface of the arm could still be seen.

Unfortunately… Han Dong is not proficient in Fire Magic, or he would certainly buy this arm.

…….

There was one day left for the magic examination.

Han Dong planned to spend the night sleeping a in the library using Dumps’ authority.

However, his mechanical watch received an anonymous message asking him to inspect the goods.

The meeting was set in a pub in the commercial street of the Knight Academy.

It suggested to some extent that the other party might also be an apprentice knight who has not yet graduated…

Han Dong was initially not hopeful for this deal, as the arm he wanted had to come from a strong source.

However, Han Dong had nothing to do today, and the school was not far away, so he agreed to the meeting.

However.

When Han Dong arrived at the pub and met the other party in the private room, he was slightly ‘overwhelmed’.

“Lucius, Lenze, and Jane…what a coincidence!”

The ones who planned to trade with Han Dong were his old rivals…the special team that Han Dong had tricked during their knight’s intensive training.

These three people stood at the top of their class of apprentice knights.

In the months they hadn’t seen each other, the three had all advanced into their senior year…and would bring about the “Breaking Seed”.

At present, the red-haired knight, infused with a vampire aura, “Blood Knight-Lucius,” looked quite different from a few months ago.

Moreover, today’s Lucius has taken off his former deep red knight armor.

He was dressed in deep red clothes made of high-quality silk.

“Congratulations on your successful ‘Breaking Seed’, Lucius.”

Han Dong immediately congratulated, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere.

Sitting next to him was the apprentice of the undead, Lenze. Seeing Han Dong, he was irked, as he almost got killed by this guy last time… In the end, he couldn’t kill the Great Lord and get the reward he deserved.

“So it’s you who posted the trading post!”

“Lenze, this is the academy area… And we’re here to trade.”

After being scolded by Lucius, Lenze immediately held back his anger… At the same time, the shadow squirming next to Han Dong was retracted back into Jane’s body.

Pat pat!

Lucius clapped his hands on the sofa next to him, indicating Han Dong to sit next to him.

Between his deep red lips, a pair of sharp teeth were faintly visible.

As soon as Han Dong sat down.

An arm emanating with a blood-red aura gently rested on Han Dong’s shoulder…

Lucius’s arm was light and delicate, not like a man’s arm at all.

At the same time, a wooden box sealed with multiple curses was placed on the table.

“We want 8,000 copper coins for this arm…..I think it’s worth the price.”
