Chapter 146: Chapter 146: Great Plague Chief
Translator: 549690339
The Great Plague Chief curiously puts the issue of the map aside for now.
From beneath his thick beard, his gaping mouth opens and closes, saying:
“Black White, is this why you recruited this student? Isn’t this too risky?”
Mr. Black White interweaves his fingers on his chest and honestly replies:
“Weighing the pros and cons, perhaps in most people’s eyes, the damages outweigh the benefits…but in my eyes, Nicholas’s presence is of significant importance to the Holy City.
We need to make some changes, otherwise, two hundred years from now, five hundred years later, we will still be trapped here.
If things outside are continually growing stronger, eventually, we might not even have the chance to survive.”
Mr. Black White extends his hand toward the ‘treasure map’ which Han Dong resolved, and continues:
“This is the first value he has realized.”
“Hmm… Since you’ve decided on this, I have nothing to say.”
The Great Plague Chief turns to Han Dong, “Kid, recount all the information you saw on the map.”
“Yes, sir.”
The Little Demon Eye can not only understand the text descriptions on the map, but it can also see some hidden variable lines.
It pointed out that under the ‘Dragon Bone Wilderness,’ there might exist an incredibly complicated underground area… It should be the necessary path to the treasure and also pointed out the entrance.
“Not bad…”
As Han Dong offers this series of useful information, the pressure emanating from the Great Plague Chief gradually disappears.
The map is put back into his beastskin clothes.
If the treasure can be successfully obtained, the overall strength of the Plague Knights will greatly improve, which is beneficial to both the Holy City and the Great Plague Chief himself.
“Kid, I will also pay attention to you privately… You should spend some more effort on the ‘Plague’ aspect.”
“Of course!”
Mr. Black White takes the initiative to speak at this moment:
“Chief, I will finalize the plans and arrange the relevant personnel for this operation by the day after tomorrow… By then, I will also accompany the team on the expedition, the weight of this map is not small.”
“Haha! Good!”
The Great Plague Chief downs three glasses of barley wine and leaves contentedly.
Of course, before leaving, he meaningfully pat Han Dong’s shoulder.
Click! The door closes.
It’s back to Han Dong and Mr. Black White’s world for two.
“Sir, you did it on purpose…”Han Dong realized some things.
“Although Moggleny is a magnanimous person and is not particular about details, and has a deep relationship with me… due to some past events, he bears a grudge against ‘external creatures.’
To make him accept you, we must find an opportunity.
You are doing well and have been able to use this eye skillfully.”
Yes.
It was precisely on such an occasion that Mr. Black White demonstrated Han Dong’s ‘usefulness’ and ‘potential’ to the Great Plague Chief… rather than directly informing the Great Plague Chief of Han Dong’s connection with the ‘external creatures.’
When he notified Han Dong to attend the Stargazing Room, he also invited the Great Plague Chief to discuss the map, thereby achieving his goal.
As long as Han Dong successfully graduates and becomes a knight.
He could also rightfully join the ‘Plague Knights’, and there will be no need to hide anything anymore.
“Moreover…”
Mr. Black White continued by pointing at Han Dong’s forehead and continued:
“If you can ‘perfectly disguise’ and conceal the polluting aura emanating from this eye, you could explain this eye as a ‘product of suturing.’
As an apprentice of Mysticism, using this eye’s observation ability will not raise suspicion from anyone.”
“Yes! I will find a way to do that within three months.”
“There’s nothing else, you can rest now, or you can choose to start studying immediately.”
“Sir, I have one last question… Is the Great Plague Chief also from the Mysterious Department?”
Han Dong was interested in the Great Plague Chief’s physique.
This kind of body and the power field that spread between invisibility were not brought about by fungus, but the actual strength achieved by his own pure body forging.
However, generally those with stronger bodies belong to the Cross Crusader, or some knights from the [Control] who major in Beast Transformation.
“He can be considered half… Moggleny is a very rare ‘Dual Cultivator,’ he allocated points on both the [Cross Crusader] and [Mysticism].”
“Dual Cultivation? Isn’t that not good?”
“Indeed, to distribute all Fate Points on a single talent tree is definitely better than Dual Cultivation.
After all, once a talent tree is formed, it requires a large amount of Fate Points to improve… Even I still have many places that are not yet perfect.
The corresponding Fate Space is so difficult that it’s reached a deadly level, and it’s very hard to achieve a Fate Point.
However, exceptions to everything exist.
Moggleny is an exception among us.
Back then, when he was still an Apprentice Knight, he chose [Cross Crusader] first due to his strong physique. He achieved ‘excellent’ results and was qualified to have two mentors. He was a focus of training in the Cross Crusaders.
After clearing a Fate event once, he arbitrarily allocated the Fate Points to [Mysticism].
This immediately caused dissatisfaction among senior leaders, and many Cross Crusader mentors tried to persuade him, but he refused to listen.
In the end, Moggleny used his ‘talent’ and ‘singularity’ to shut up those Knights who gossiped about him.
The two talent trees that grew in his mind, an extremely rare ‘intertwining’ phenomenon occurred.
It gave rise to a unique [Disaster] talent tree.
At that time, no Knight of the same rank could compete with Moggleny.
Moreover, in external operations, Moggleny’s functional importance was much higher than other knights of the same rank… It was because of this that he became the [Plague Knights-Regimental Commander] ten years ago.
Moggleny’s actions also attracted many imitators, but their talent trees could not be fused, or they were struggling to excel in both disciplines, and they could not reach the height of Moggleny.”
Han Dong was shocked, and he couldn’t understand one thing, “What made the regimental leader persist in Dual Cultivation against the opposition of the senior leadership?”
“Character… the chief is considered a weirdo.
He was not satisfied with the daily hell-like forging training of the [Cross Crusader].
Hearing that the fungus in our Mysticism can enhance the physical constitution, he allocated some Fate Points to the major in Mysticism.
Every night, he would sneak into the [Old Sewers], use the deadly sewage to cleanse his body… which led him to achieve the ‘Fungi Physique’ in a short time.
Another opportunity.
Due to curiosity, the chief ran into another forbidden area of the Mysterious Department – [Dead Water Marsh], and ended up getting along well with a witch in it.
Then he was thoroughly rooted in the Mysticism Department, unless there was something special, he would only go back to the Crusader Academy.”
“This…”
Han Dong didn’t know how to evaluate such a person for a moment. Rather than calling him a genius, it would be better to describe him as a maverick.
“In the Thirteen Knight Orders.
The comprehensive strength of Chief Moggleny probably ranks fourth… When you reach a certain level in the ‘Plague’ aspect, you can ask him about the knowledge of ‘High-Level Plague’ and even ‘Disaster’.”
