Chapter 50: Dark Moon


    A temporary housekeepering out of the cemetery?


    "It''s not like, each new student is paired with a corresponding housekeeper, is it?" Han Dong asked curiously.


    "That''s right, our [Cemetery Managers Committee] is responsible for receiving trainee knights, as well as the environmental hygiene and basic security of the inner ind."


    "The Cemetery Managers Committee..."


    Han Dong epted all of this as best he could and followed this graveyard steward towards the main building.


    "The surface of the flesh has been marked with obvious dead spots, the presence of partially ulcerated trauma openings, and the absence of blood cells the flesh is clearly in a state of ''death'', why is it still able to carry out normal physiological activities?


    If I had a chance with the equipment, I would really like to observe their cellr structure."


    Due to the limitations of the experimental equipment, Han Dong could not conduct normal cell research.


    When he had some funds and figured out the science and technology of the Holy City, he also nned to conduct an in-depth study on the biological level of these strange, magical creatures.


    During his trip to the main building, this graveyard steward exined in detail some basic information about the Mysticism Department.


    "The main building of the Department of Mysteries, the [Dark Moon Gauntlet], was remodeled and expanded thirty years ago by Department Head and Chief of General Staff of the ''gue Knights'' - Mr. ck and White.


    The ''Dark Moon'' was installed to hide the tower and the surrounding annexes, and is the tallest building in the Royal Academy of Knights.


    It is divided into four major level areas and 14 important areas."


    "The gue Knights, Chief of Staff!?"


    This was the second name Han Dong had heard of the Knights Order.


    Moreover, a position like ''Chief of Staff'' belonged to the second highest rank in the Order nine times out of ten, which showed how high it was.


    This graveyard steward was quite proud of himself.


    "Although the gue Knights are not the strongest of the thirteen Knights, they are an essential special group, and Mr. ck and White''s existence is incredibly important to the entire Holy City."


    "Hmm... thirteen knight groups? No wonder, Knight Barton tried to get me into his Order of the ck Rose when he found out that I had passed a four-star novice event."


    Butler continued.


    "With the [Dark Moon Tower] as the main building, the Department of Mysteries also has four affiliated areas - [Dark Moon Forest], [Cemetery], [Old Sewer], and [Dead Water Swamp].


    Each one of these areas has its own meaning, as you will see from now on.


    A special reminder to you, beware of the two areas, [Old Sewer] and [Dead Water Swamp], if you enter them rashly, your life may be in danger."


    "Got it."


    Han Dong had a rough understanding of the Mysticism Department''s territory.


    "May I ask, won''t you guys be ghouls if you live in the cemetery?"


    The butler responded with a smile on his face, "Under the protection of the ''Dark Moon'', we won''t be disturbed by any interference from outside the walls..."


    "Dark Moon."


    Han Dong looked up.


    A ck moon resembling the phenomenon of a lunar eclipse hung in the sky (the central part was ck, with only a white circle of light outlining the circle)


    The Dark Moon Shroud hides all areas of the Mystic System from the outside world, and alsopletely istes the influence of thought emanating from the higher beings outside the walls.


    It took half an hour to pass through the graveyard.


    Finally, they arrived at a side gate of the [Dark Moon Tower], sealed by a heavy ck iron gate.


    Turning the valve.


    Open the gates.


    In a hall that gathers arge number of trainee knights.


    ''The Elevator Room.''


    More than ten old elevators were set up here.


    Each elevator corresponds to a different area floor.


    In addition, a series of corresponding serial numbers had to be entered on the brass key panel for the lift to function properly.


    "The lifts are a quick and safe way to transfer inside the tower.


    It can help you cross some dangerous areas and go straight to where you want to go... It''s rmended that you familiarize yourself with the various serial numbers of the lifts for a short period of time after signing up, it can save you a lot of trouble."


    "Okay."


    The elevator stopped about near the middle area of the tower.


    The graveyard steward wasn''t about to continue leading the way, extending his hand.


    "In front of you is the temporary concentration room for trainee knights, go inside and turn in your test props.


    Once all of the trainee knights for this session have tested, the results of the tests will be announced, introductions made, and mentor selection will take ce inside."


    "Thank you."


    Mentor selection.


    As an associate professor and master''s degree holder at a university, Han Dong was naturally well aware of what mentor selection was.


    After admission to the graduate school, the teachers within the faculty sat in a conference room with the graduate students who had passed the test this year.


    Communicating about academics and personal interests on a level, they would eventually choose the appropriate mentor based on the student''s personality and interest direction.


    "Let''s take a look at it first,"


    Han Dong did not know anything about the teachers in the mysterious department.


    Currently, he knew of one, and it was precisely the head of the department that the housekeeper had spoken of-Mr. ck and White. It is not easy to be a student of dean-level tutor.


    Creak!


    Pushing open the ebony door at the end of the passage.


    Arger Round Table Council Chamber.


    Two-story design.


    At the top hangs a candle chandelier with hundreds of branches, shaped like a human arm, holding a candle in the palm of the hand.


    The first level is the round table area where the trainee knights sit, and the huge ck stone round table can amodate sixty students, and each student''s file is kept on the table so that they can take their seats.


    The second tier was strangely designed, with more than ten sets of seats set into the walls, allowing the teachers to dangle in the air.


    Over twenty trainee knights had gathered here.


    Most were European-faced, with the same white skin even if their hair color was different.


    And most of them wore dresses and essories that symbolized that they were not ofmoner status, but of the younger generation of middle- and upper-ss families like Edward.


    Han Dong''s civilian attire was particrly conspicuous in such an asion.


    Of course, those who were able toe here were all qualified trainee knights who had passed theyers of tests, and no one would judge people by their appearance, at most they would secretly say some words about Han Dong''s physical qualities.


    However, it was still rare to see a student like Han Dong who didn''t have obvious body damage.


    Most of the students were injured, even seriously injured, in the tests arranged by the Department of Mysteries.


    After Han Dong ced the metal box corresponding to the test in the corresponding groove on the table... With the sound of gears turning, the box sank by itself and was handed over to the relevant department for review.


    Most people were dissatisfied andined about the dangerous tests given by the Department of Mysteries.


    For example, there was a male student next to Han Dong.


    There was arge wound left at the waist and abdomen, the blood had been stopped by special means, and with a special hand, he self-sewn the blood vessels and outer skin injuries with a special suturing technique.


    Of course, during the suturing process, he kept mouthing curses.


    "Such an individual test is not the same as the group cooperation in Destiny... It is indeed dangerous when one''s own abilities are not up to par."
