A snakehead mark on the forehead, waist-length black hair, a slender figure.
A turban, nose ring, and waist-exposing garments made of silk, all complemented her Asian dark yellow skin.
As this woman stepped down the stairs in her high heels, a large number of spotted poisonous snakes followed closely behind.
“Deputy Leader Heidler!!”
Abe Rhein immediately knelt on one knee.
This woman, who held a position almost equal to his grandfather’s, intimidated Abe… In the Behemoth Knight Group, Abe could interact with any knight casually, except for this woman.
His animal instincts sensed danger every time he encountered this woman.
Standing at the corner of the stairs, Heidler looked down at everyone with an arrogant expression.
“Kenny and I have temporarily swapped positions.
It’s now my responsibility to ensure the safety of your rookie team… Well done, little devils. Your progress in the investigation is outstanding, even some apprentice knights who have been enrolled for two years are not as good as you.
Since you have completed the ultimate task of one area, I will give you the next instructions.
But before that… You! Come with me.”
The person Heidler pointed at was Han Dong.
A feeling of unease surged in his heart.
Heidler is the deputy leader… According to the standings within the Knight Regiment, she is on par with Mr. Black White.
Moreover, snakes are superior in their sensing abilities.
Being alone with such a figure, Han Dong’s ‘secret’ was at a high risk of exposure.
“The aggressive performance has attracted the deputy leader so quickly… although it was inevitable, I didn’t expect it to happen so fast.
Given the circumstance, let’s give it a try.
If I can deceive such an individual, it will make things a lot more convenient in the future.”
Just then, Abe voluntarily suggested, “Deputy Leader, can I come along too? Nicholas and I are both team managers. It might be better if we discuss any instructions or requests you have together.”
A cunning smile appeared on Heidler’s face, “Little Behemoth, come along if you wish… In that case, you’re coming too.”
Since there were going to be many people.
Heidler even took an extra interest in one handsome young man in the team – Dumps.
Truth be told, Heidler was initially only interested in Han Dong, mainly because he was Crow’s student.
However, upon meeting these newbies.
She was immediately attracted by Dumps’ British style and his unique mage temperament.
For Heidler, who lived in the Behemoth Knight Group, such a quiet, mannered and youthful young man was a rarity.
In fact, even in the library, students like Dumps were rare.
Thanks to Dumps’ intervention, the situation went according to plan.
It only took ten minutes for Heidler to understand the team’s current progress and staff allocation issues.
However…
Han Dong and Abe, the leader and deputy leader, then came out of the room.
Yes.
Heidler’s attention was completely diverted, leaving Dumps alone with her.
Han Dong couldn’t help but sigh, “Dumps really has something.”
Abe, placing a hand on Han Dong’s shoulder, whispered, “There’s something about Dumps… Compared to him, I prefer you, Nicholas.”
Han Dong gave an awkward laugh, “Haha… Captain, your words sound a little strange.”
About an hour later.
Deputy Leader Heidler, who re-emerged from the room, had her proud and oppressive aura somewhat subdued.
There was a hint of joy in her eyes and a faint blush on her cheeks.
Seeing this scene.
Han Dong’s main focus wasn’t the deputy leader, but Dumps, who walked out of the room appearing unaffected.
He thought to himself: “Dumps Martin, this guy needs watching…he’s a nuisance.”
The Deputy Leader began to discuss the main issue:
“Since the ‘Castle District’ has opened earlier than expected, only the squads that have completed the area tasks will be granted permission to enter.
At that time, the ‘intensive training mode’ will change.
The way to obtain points, accept tasks, and progress will all change.
It will be conducted in a ‘real-time linked’ manner.
Opportunistic tactics will no longer be valid, the number of points you can get will directly correlate to your comprehensive strength.
Here is a detailed instruction manual, take it and study it yourselves… when and how you enter the castle is up to you.
I will make sure to protect your safety to a certain extent from behind the scenes.”
As he spoke, Heidler’s gaze deliberately lingered on Dumps for a moment, then his body disintegrated into countless snakes and left everyone’s residence.
Along with it, the invisible oppressive atmosphere and freezing sensation disappeared.
“Phew… this Deputy Leader is quite terrifying.
Our previous officer in charge, Captain Kenny, although he looks fierce, I could tell he was good to us. But this Deputy Leader is different.”
Blacksmith Winry was trembling with fear and tried to get as close to the two team leaders as possible.
“Castle Area Execution Instructions”
“The Castle District is considered the ‘final area’ of this training camp.
The related designs, division of space levels, and overall difficulty are all higher than other areas.
Multiple areas within the Castle District are set, most of which are ‘sealed’. They can only be opened by satisfying certain conditions.
Tasks related to the Castle District will be treated in a vague manner, aiming to kill the [Giant Ghoul. Lord Stuart] as the final goal.
During the exploration of the Castle District:
1. Kill central cadres within the area of the castle, each one giving you 2 points more.
2. Decode the castle’s secret room, each room gives you an extra point.
3. Kill [Giant Ghoul. Lord Stuart] for 10 points, awarded the Ghoul Killer Medal.”
After reading the relevant rules for the Castle District, Han Dong was confused about the issue of the lord’s identity.
The Giant Ghoul is the parent body? Han Dong needed to confirm this further.
The group leader Abe clapped his hands: “Our progress has been quick enough, we will explore the ‘Castle District’ tomorrow… and everyone ensure to prepare well for the final area opening earlier than expected.”
“Great! Let’s eat!”
Blacksmith Winry had been hungry for some time, not worried about the large number of ghouls wandering in the streets, because they’re all afraid of the Deputy Leader.
“Mia…come with me.”
“Okay!!”
Mia purposefully responded loudly, wanting everyone to know that she was going to be alone with the Deputy Leader.
The click!
The moment the two entered the room and closed the door, Mia immediately started to take off her clothes.
“What are you doing?”
“Ah… When you call a girl to your room, isn’t it about that? Besides, having received such a cursed object, I also want to thank you in some way.”
“Get dressed.”
“Okay…” Because Han Dong was unusually stern, Mia had to mope and grudgingly take out the bell.
“I need to get information about the Great Lord from the farmer… Later I will ask you for the related record information.”
In the blink of an eye, a farmer wearing a burlap sack on his head and a checkered shirt had appeared behind Han Dong.
“And you?”
“I’m going to the basement… I might be a bit late coming back.”
