Chapter 167: Chapter 167: Witch’s House
Translator: 549690339
There are quite a few knights who sought to minor in a second Fate Profession in imitation of the Great Plague Chief.
However, the actual number who made real progress is scarce. According to extensive data, knights who major in one Fate Profession are much more likely to tap into the [Door].
Even for the Great Plague Chief himself, with the combined Disaster Talent Tree, the path upwards is much more challenging than for knights who specialize in a single profession, reaching higher levels becomes remarkably harder.
Hence.
Clear directives have been issued by the council.
Individuals who attempt to distribute Fate Points to a secondary profession must first submit an application. Only if a guarantor is available, they are allowed to take such a risk.
Therefore, when the topic of minoring was broached.
The witch was quite surprised… after all, Han Dong was a disciple of “Mr. Black White”. She didn’t expect Mr. Black White to permit Han Dong to make such a risky choice.
[Which-Kaylonia Mason] had already achieved the qualification to be a department head at the level of the Subjective Mysterious Department five years ago.
But no matter what, she could never assume this position due to the presence of Mr. Black White.
Naturally, Mr. Black White knew about Han Dong’s intention to minor, hence the recommendation letter.
The witch, with a puzzled face, was wondering, “Is that crow taking another gamble?”
But just as the witch attempted to probe Han Dong’s special aspects using a type of unique ‘Pupil Surgery’.
The hand of the Great Plague Chief – Moggleny gently landed on her shoulder, promptly preventing this behavior.
The Great Plague Chief’s other hand was gliding back and forth across his thick beard.
“My ‘Disaster’ fundamentally differs from your Plague studies, so it’s not suitable to offer you guidance… But regarding the issue of ‘minoring’, I can share some experiential knowledge with you.
What are you planning to minor in?”
Without hesitation, Han Dong replied:
“[Library].”
In his first Fate choice, Han Dong was immediately attracted by the [Library].
The nature of this profession directly corresponds with ‘Magic’.
Only because the intrinsic attribute of the ‘Faceless Skull’ resonates with [Mysticism], Han Dong chose Mysticism first in order to familiarize himself with skull abilities and to disguise it accordingly, ensuring a firm footing within the Holy City.
Upon learning that the Great Plague Chief majored in The Crusaders and minored in Plague studies.
Han Dong’s desire to minor grew stronger.
From Han Dong’s perspective, the magic system within the [Library] is directly linked with the technology of this world.
As a former scientist, he’s eager and impatient to understand the magic elements found in this world.
“Hmm…” the Great Plague Chief nodded his head.
He didn’t elaborate on some basic issues such as the balance issue when minoring, energy issues and the investment issue of Fate Points.
Great Plague Chief simply pointed one of his fingers.
“Don’t try to minor due to any external influence, or harbour any goal-oriented thoughts… Do it naturally, because you inherently want to do so. You found that a single Fate Profession can’t satisfy your own needs, and that’s why you chose to minor in a second one.
Back in the day, I just wanted to refine my body through certain special ways.
After learning that the [Old Sewers] of the Mysterious Department was a great place for body cultivation, I took the opportunity to sneak in and had my first contact with Plague.
The comfort I felt when soaking my body in the plague pool for the first time is something I can hardly forget, even now.
I never thought about minoring in [Mysticism]… I just did it naturally.
Such is the case with ‘Fate’ too.
Do you understand what I’m saying?”
Upon hearing this, a glint of excitement flashed through Han Dong’s eyes.
This was exactly the answer that Han Dong wanted.
Han Dong understood some basic matters, but this speech by the Great Plague Chief held great significance for him.
“Thank you for your valuable advice, Great Plague Chief! I get it, I will carefully consider the issue of ‘minoring’.”
“Good! Not bad.”
The Great Plague Chief was quite pleased that Han Dong understood his advice immediately.
“I will not bother you then…”
Having gotten his answer, Han Dong prepared to leave.
He planned to rest well during the last three days in readiness for the upcoming [Knight Training] preliminaries.
At that time, the National Royal Academy of Knights will witness a mass participation of elites. Han Dong, without relying on the abilities related to the Faceless Skull, must give it his all.
Unexpectedly, just as Han Dong stood up, he was suddenly called back by the witch.
“Hold on, young man, no need to rush! You are already here, might as well stay for the night.”
Han Dong replied with an awkward look on his face: “Mrs. Kaylonia, I have something to deal with back at the [Stargazing Room].”
“Wait a moment…”
The witch, with an intrigued look in her eyes, instantly made contact with Mr. Black White through a wind-up device.
“Crow, can I ‘borrow’ your student for a day?”
“Only do so in moderation, and don’t spoil him.” f𝐫e𝚎𝘄eb𝚗o𝐯𝐞𝐥.𝐜𝚘m
“Sure… I will teach him well.”
Hearing this conversation, Han Dong felt very uneasy.
The witch wore an evil grin, pointing to a guest room inside.
“Mia is a student I have high hopes for.
You are here now, just stay with Mia.
There’s still half a pot of ‘body-nourishing’ Witch Soup left that I could warm up for dinner. It would be very beneficial for you young people.
You two stay here and get to know each other better.
I still have some ‘important matters’ to attend to with the Great Plague Chief. See you later.”
With that said.
The Great Plague Chief picked up the witch in his arms and went back to their room.
For such a ‘high-level’ battle, noise was inevitable.
The two young individuals sitting in the hall were affected, blushing as if they had sustained internal injuries.
“That… umm…” Mia, blushing, spoke her words hesitantly.
“Shall we go for a walk outside?” Han Dong seemed calm, likely because he had heard about the stories between those two adults.
“Okay…”
Mia was too ‘excited’.
When she tried to stand up, she accidentally bumped into a bone decoration hanging in front of her.
Clatter!
The half mask she always wore came loose and fell off.
Mia’s right face was exposed:
There were numerous strange marks on it, resembling birthmarks or some special tattoos.
Han Dong’s special vision spotted some black smoke on the surface of these marks. They should be some type of ‘Curse Mark’. It was unknown why they were branded on Mia’s right face.
As her right face was exposed to air.
A large number of small poisonous spiders crawled frenziedly out from the floorboards and cracks in the walls.
Mia quickly picked up the mask and put it back on.
As the mask covered the mark, those spiders immediately turned into black smoke and disappeared…
“… err.”
Mia was a little nervous, just about to explain something to.
Han Dong had already stood outside the door. Pretending as if he had seen nothing, behaved as if nothing happened, and waved at her casually.
“Let’s go.”
