Chapter 70: Fia''s Background


    The staff at the intelligence station continued.


    "Due to the urgency of the matter, you have only one hour to prepare.


    Within one hour, if you do not find a knight to guide this mission, one will be assigned directly by the Order."


    During the execution of the mission.


    The wind-up devices on your hands will be in record mode, recording everything about your experience throughout the mission, including clue gathering, progress of exploration, and killing targets.


    Uponpletion of the mission, rewards will be divided based on the record.


    If you rely too heavily on the knights, you will not receive any rewards."


    Cass hesitated and asked the staff, "Um, can I see the changed bounty order?"


    "Sure."


    The staff handed over a distinctive white bounty order.


    It was rare to see a [Assist ss Bounty Quest] like this.


    After all, it was difficult forrge-scale, strange events to ur in the Holy City that required a knight to personally deal with them.


    This kind of assistance quest would not only give a high reward, but also learn thebat experience of a full knight in the process.


    Once given, arge number of squads would rush to take it.


    Cass looked at the highest level of reward on the bounty and suppressed his joy as much as possible in front of the staff, "Okay, we''ll find the right lead knight within an hour."


    "Please keep an eye on the timing."


    As the staff left, Sophia, who was on the side, immediately asked curiously.


    "Brother Cass, what exactly is the reward?"


    "A piece of Fate equipment! And you can pick your own!"


    "What!?"


    Apart from Han Dong who had no reaction, the other two members of the squad were getting up from shock, from this, it could be seen how rare Fate Equipment was for trainee knights.


    Han Dong stared at the short sword in his hand, having the feeling of an unexpected treasure find.


    Cassid out the reward sheet.


    On it, it was clearly written.


    [Bonus].


    Assignments in the assistance category will be categorized into four levels of squad performance based on record keeping: unsatisfactory, eptable, good, and excellent.


    1. Each squad member will receive 600 coins, a material reward (optional materials, homemade equipment, and potions), and 5 knight credits each if they achieve a passing rating or higher.


    2. Teams that reach Good or above will also receive additional rewards.


    Good: an additional 400 coins.


    Excellent: an additional Destiny weapon of no more than "High Quality" grade.


    "The base bonus has also been increased by 15%~30% from the original, if we can achieve "Excellent"! There would be one more piece of Destiny equipment in the team, and the overall strength would change qualitatively.


    The next most important thing was the search for a lead knight.


    This event was not simple.


    Nearly two hundred controlledmoners had entered the mansion, and with the event itself involving evil sorcery, it was possible that they were performing some sort of sacrificial ritual.


    One hour was enough to worsen the event.


    A knight must be found who is strong enough and meets the requirements, the bounty has already stated that the knight brought in must not exceed the rank of soldier."


    After Cass briefly recounted the situation.


    Sophia at the side bit her teeth, she had grown up in a special family since childhood and had read a lot from books.


    It seemed to connect current events with some of the horrific incidents in the books.


    Fia muttered, "If there really are two hundred people used for the sacrifice, there is a definite possibility of bringing in something from outside the walls, the average knight would have a very hard time dealing with it.


    I, I''ll go ask my sister about this."


    "Fia, is that okay?" Cass seemed to know Fia''s family business well and asked with concern.


    "I wouldn''t bother my sister with some of the usual troubles, but this one is very odd, and if she''ll oblige, at least our lives won''t be in danger.


    If Sister won''t agree, Brother Cass, go find someone else, and I should be able to get to Sister in half an hour."


    "Okay."


    With Sophia''s departure, Han Dong was somewhat curious to ask about thedy''s family business, "Miss Sophia''s sister is?"


    "Friend Andeva, please make sure you keep this matter a secret, if it gets out, Fia she might be in danger."


    "Well, it must be kept secret."


    "Fia''s background corresponds to a hereditary noble, but as for the first ss, I''m not sure.


    Her sister is the famous [Knight of Punishment] - Celeste, who works for the [Holy Knights], and is currently not yet given a rank due to her young age and having recently joined the Order.


    The actual strength is howeverparable to some lieutenants.


    She just turned 28 this year."


    If Han Dong was a local of Holy City, he would have currently been shocked speechless.


    However, he didn''t know much about this, and his expression just generally changed, showing an awkward but polite expression of surprise.


    Cass continued to exin, "At first we teamed up with Fia and didn''t know her history, until the previous time when we escaped from Death''s Scythe and managed to pass through the Destiny Space.


    Fia''s sister, who is Celeste, personally came to the teleportation exit and took the severely injured Fia away.


    It was onlyter when Fia contacted us that she quietly exined all of this. Of course, it was only about her rtionship with Celeste, not about her family background."


    Han Dong nodded, "Hmm, if such an excellent knight is willing to help, this mission should be able to be taken steadily."


    It was while waiting for Fia.


    The old woman who was brought back alive, the examination waspleted.


    The ''Flesh Examination Report'' was handed in by the staff.


    -----------------------------


    The third level of the holy city - inside the stronghold of the Holy Knights [Holy Asylum].


    As the streets of London were close to the [Poseidon''s Steps] that led to the third level, Sophia was fast and reached the shelter within half an hour, meeting her sister who was undergoing the relevant training in the central garden.


    Blonde hair like a waterfall was draped over a white armor, wavy and shining with golden light.


    Even though the distribution and shape of her facial features were very simr to Fia''s, there was a ''rigidity'' in the female knight''s pupils, and an invisible aura enveloped the surrounding ten meters.


    Unlike Sophia, Celeste majored in [Crusader], and in the subsequent Talent Tree branch, positioned herself as a [Holy Church Army], a type of melee knight with holy light weapons.


    "Fia, what are you doing in my ce if you''re not studying in school?"


    "Sister, I would like to ask for your help."


    Completely like a meek, even slightly cowering kitten in front of her sister, Sophia slowly handed over the white bounty order.


    Celeste somehow confirmed the knight''s emblem branded on the lower right corner of the bounty order.


    "Hmm? The witch incident, hundreds of ordinary people being implicated, andplete contamination.


    Fia you''re pretty lucky to be in the second tier for something like this, who else is in the squad?"


    "It''s the two people who survived thest [Destiny Space], plus a neer from the two-star [Mysticism Department]."


    "Two-star [Mysticism Department]? It doesn''t match your squad''s rank, does it?"


    "This was rmended by Captain Cass, very special, seems to be a top student in the [Mysticism Department]."


    "Alright, I''ll be leading this assisted mission, Time is running out, let''s go immediately!"


    "Thank you, sister."
