“Is this the only choice?”

For some reason…

When Han Dong saw the mark at the end of the bounty order and the depiction of the ghost image, he was filled with a strong sense of unease.

Cass offered a simple explanation:

“Well… among the rewards that offer ‘materials’, currently this is the only three-star bounty order. The rest of the bounty tasks that involve ‘materials’ are all four-star and five-star missions.

I won’t lie to you, this bounty task is actually preparation for the ‘Fate Space’ that will occur next week.

We need high-end materials, as well as money to purchase items that can ‘save lives’. ‘

On the matter of ‘Fate Space’, Cass certainly had a lot more experience and his statements were indisputable. They needed to be fully prepared.

However, Han Dong still had some reservations, “Since among the three-star bounty orders, only this task comes with a ‘material reward,’ the risk must be quite high, right?

Similar to the Ghoul incident last time, once we go to the crime scene and examine it in detail, we may find that the difficulty of the task is higher than the description in the bounty order.”

“It is indeed possible, we have to take risks…but even if the risk of this task is high, it’s not as high as the ‘Fate Space’.

If we can’t even complete the bounty tasks, then the ‘Fate Space’ next week will be troublesome.

Andwa, you are currently just a two-star Apprentice Knight… if you don’t want to join, I won’t force you. After all, you should be one of the top students in the Mysterious Department.

It would be wiser for you to focus on steady development in the early stages.” Sophia, who was standing by, chimed in:

“Well, we do need another summoner in our team, and I have a three-star ‘Control’ Apprentice Knight in my friendship circle. If you leave, I can invite her to fill your place.”

Without being influenced by the words of others, Han Dong just stared at the bounty order and mulled over it:

tCass’s team is quite strong among the three-star Apprentice Knight teams… also, I know about Cass’s character, honorable people like him are rare in such a world.

If I could join their team, it would help my future development greatly.

But this bounty task…]

Without either rejecting or accepting, he asked:

“If we accept the bounty order, when do we set out?”

Cass seemed to have set up a preliminary action plan, “The local residents unanimously claim that the ghost appears at night, mainly in the early morning.

We should head over there now and aim to investigate the crime scene building in detail before nightfall, after which we can determine our next detailed actions.”

“Alright… I’ll join.”

It would be best to conduct preliminary investigations, we should not wait until night to take action. If something goes wrong, we won’t even have a chance to escape.

“Let’s go.”

The manner of transportation to London Street was not a steam carriage… but a steam train.

Moreover, it should be noted that the London Street specified in the task was not in the civilian area, but on the second level of the Holy City.

The main residents are middle-class families or knight families (the main member of the family must be at least an Apprentice Knight).

The wide and clean streets, the unique individual buildings, the omnipresent steam carriages,

The residents walking on the streets often wear medium to high-end clothes and jewelry that suit their status; this is especially notable among the women.

Full lace dresses, exquisite corsets, and women’s hats decorated with colorful feathers.

As for the men, most of them wear top hats, shirts paired with dark-colored coats, and sport distinguished mustaches.

As for London Street, it is one of the largest streets in the second level of the Holy City.

The human survivors in the Holy City are mostly from various parts of Europe.

To honor their countries, people named the streets in the Holy City after important cities in their homeland and retained architectural styles… London Street is a classic example.

The majority of survivors from Great Britain live on London Street.

By dividing the streets and planning the population in this manner, a lot of work has been saved for the Invisible Resource Management Bureau.

The second level of the Holy City is quite vast, to facilitate the residents’ travel, a railway system has been built on the second level, powered by efficient steam trains for passenger and goods transportation.

The reason the word ‘efficient’ was added, is because these trains can reach speeds of up to 230km/h.

Not only did the scientists optimize the efficiency of the steam engine, but they also used magic arrays to improve the conversion efficiency between the boiler and steam engine, which enabled these old-fashioned trains to achieve speeds close to the ‘high-speed’ trains in Han Dong’s previous world.

Even so, from the school to London Street, it still takes over two hours.

Besides, the ‘high-speed train’ is free for Apprentice Knights, they just need to present their knight certificate to ride it.

Due to Cass’s special status, he even managed to get a four-person train cabin with a lockable door to ensure their conversation wasn’t overheard by other passengers.

As soon as the train started moving, Han Dong sought an excuse to separate from the three.

“I’m going to the restroom.”

“Alright.”

He headed for the restroom and locked the door behind him.

The reason Han Dong did this was because he didn’t want to reveal that he was a newbie just starting school.

In the upcoming discussions, they would inevitably talk about ghosts and mysterious marks… Han Dong, as a Mysterious Apprentice, had to show some understanding in this regard.

Otherwise, people would definitely suspect his identity, especially the somewhat prejudiced Sophia.

Staying in the toilet, he dialed a special number through the clockwork device on his wrist.

When the call connected, a familiar female voice came from the brass speaker, it was Han Dong’s first mentor, Mrs. Pasha.

“What is it? Didn’t you take leave to rest?”

“I took leave today to go and complete a bounty mission with a group of friends.

“You, a newbie who just enrolled in the school and hasn’t even grown a full set of hair yet, want to execute a bounty task? How many stars?”

“Three stars… It involves a ‘ghost’. Mrs. Pasha, do you have any information about ‘ghosts’? Could you fax it over to me?” After Han Dong uttered those words, the other end of the call suddenly went silent.

After about five seconds, a low voice came through, “Three-star Bounty ‘Ghost Incident on London Street’, uncertain task… Nicholas, if you don’t want to die! Come back right now!”

“Uh… I’m already on the train. Mrs. Pasha, could you fax me a detailed ‘ghost’ report?”

“Are you really going?”

“Yeah… If it’s really dangerous, I will give it up voluntarily.

These people are quite good. If I can join them, I will have a higher chance of surviving the ‘Fate Space’ next week.”

After a short pause,

“…Wait five minutes! I’ll send you files related to ‘ghosts’ and some articles about ‘evil curse’. Don’t die… otherwise, it will be hard for me to explain to Mr.

Black White..”
