Actually.
The “Wilderness Survival” proposed by Captain Kenny essentially carried two meanings.
Firstly, it was indeed to take care of the newcomers, and in combination with the points the group earned on their first day, could allow the entire team to receive a rating of ‘good and above’ by the end of the training.
Secondly, Captain Kenny was also testing the group of them.
Through his observations yesterday, Kenny was sure that Crow’s student was extraordinary… If they could kill the barber in such a short time, then it wasn’t impossible for the six-person team to complete an “advanced mission” despite the risks.
Kenny made his appearance and used it as an excuse to emphasize the dangerous atmosphere.
At the same time, he offered another easy way out, just to see if this group of newcomers would waver ‘inside’.
Who knew.
After Han Dong refused the proposal of “Wilderness Survival”, the whole team equally remained resolute, without any objections.
The usually stern Captain Kenny suddenly revealed a hearty smile, the vulture on his shoulder screeching along with him.
“Haha… Captain Kaimon likes fearless little fellows like you! If you manage to graduate alive, you might consider joining our Behemoth Knight Group.
This is the scroll for the “advanced mission”. Take a look first, I’ll explain the details later.”
When the scroll was unrolled, a striking four-word title caught their eyes.
[Border Curse] – Advanced type investigation case.
≮The Final Investigation Mission at the Wheat Field Area≯
Details: Due to a completely different curse and strange contamination source detected in the granary, compared to the Stuart Manor.
Considering that an event might have occurred here which exceeded the management of the Manor, the ‘Clockmaker’ conducted a ‘time reset’ on this area, revealing the horrifying incident that had happened inside the granary.
Two hundred years ago.
In the wheat field area of Stuart Manor, a large number of serfs worked the land, providing the Manor with ample food supplies.
A farmer named Murphy Victoriano was in charge of all matters in the wheat field area.
Murphy himself also held a high position in the Stuart family, being one of the key members.
Murphy had two twin daughters.
Because of his position, he didn’t need to marry within the family, and both his daughters were perfectly ordinary without any defects.
Inheriting their mother’s beauty, the daughters had tall figures, unique dispositions, and beautiful faces.
However, their beauty caught the eye of the Great Lord who, without any regard for Murphy’s identity as the farmer, wanted to claim both girls for his own.
Murphy disputed with the Great Lord over this matter.
He even incited nearly a hundred serfs who were dissatisfied with the Great Lord to revolt.
However, in the eyes of the Great Lord, such a force was insignificant… He didn’t even deploy the Forbidden Army he had raised in the castle.
The Great Lord, who had already touched upon the realm of the wicked, easily turned these rebelling serfs into his slaves.
When the Great Lord rode his horse to the wheat field farm personally to fetch his brides.
He found the farm deserted and a fierce fire raging in the nearby granary.
While the rebellion failed, the farmer Murphy Victoriano led his whole family into the granary… as an important member of the Stuart family, the farmer naturally came into contact with some ‘dirty things’ in his daily life.
By using a special ‘cremation’ method, he activated the evil techniques previously set up in the granary.
The Great Lord immediately ordered the serfs in the town to put out the fire.
As the serfs were putting out the fire, they saw many distorted, angry faces in the flames.
Some even saw through the big door of the granary that the farmer and his family were standing upright inside the granary, their bodies being torched by the flames.
After the fire was completely extinguished.
Four charred shells were found inside the granary, which turned into ashes at the slightest touch, scattering and disappearing.
In the following days, the serfs who participated in extinguishing the fire and subsequently entered the granary strangely disappeared, their traces could not even be found in the surrounding forest area.
Later on, some strange incidents would happen in the “Wheat Field Area” every day.
For example, scarecrows that attracted crows, occasional screams that came from the granary, ghosts wandering in the wheat field at night, a little girl waving under a strange apple tree, etc.
As a result, during that time, “Wheat Field Area” became an bizarre area that even the Great Lord couldn’t fully manage.
Until the Dark Age descended, the manor fell into ruin, and the Wheatfield was shrouded in a deeper layer of gloom.
The farmer’s family still lived in this wheat field.
Task: End the Curse
Difficulty:
Reward: Team score +15 points, small amount of resource privileges.
Note: Once you enter the granary area, there will be no way out. Until the curse is ended, you cannot return to the current world.
“The curse type… According to the remark, it seems that as soon as we enter the ‘granary’, we will be brought into a cursed world.
The so-called ending of the curse naturally requires us to end the evil spirits transformed from the farmer’s family.”
Based on the mission scroll, Han Dong speculated some simple information.
Kenny nodded:
“Right, once you guys enter here, you must fully complete the mission in order to exit… You still have the right to choose now, if you’re willing to go with me to the wilderness, we can set off immediately.”
“Thank you for your kindness, Captain, but we’ve decided to go to the [Granary]… But before we enter, I want to hold a temporary team meeting. Is it okay if we delay for a bit?”
“As you wish, only you guys can enter the granary area, it doesn’t matter how long you delay.”
Han Dong brought the team members together to discuss the plan and warm up.
“The Advanced Task is directly related to the curse… Mia.”
“What?” Mia, seeming like a changed person, cast Han Dong a cold glance.
“In our team, you’re likely the most knowledgeable about ‘curses’… Given the information and clues we currently have, can you tell us your understanding of this incident?”
“Hmph… Just because you asked nicely, I’ll begrudgingly explain.
From what I’ve observed.
The [Cursed Space] might cover the entire wheat field area.
The wheat field land we’re stepping on actually carries a slight remnant of the curse.
The scarecrow and apple tree have been affected by the curse to some extent.
Once we enter the granary, we’ll be brought into a unique cursed world. Finding the four cursed spirits and exterminating them would likely be challenging… During this process, our chances of being cursed could be high.
I don’t have much ‘nightmare grass’ in my bag, at most I can supply each person with a bottle of ‘Curse Resistance Potion’.
In the cursed space, if anyone feels any physical discomfort, you must speak up right away… Even a slight itch could be the effect of the curse.”
Sometimes Mia is quite reliable… it’s just her personality that’s a problem.
When Han Dong heard this, he stood up prepared to leave,”Alright, Mia, you start producing the potions first.
Dumps probably has some ways to resist the curse too, you guys discuss that here first… I’ll go do some other preparations.”
