“Night Watchman task!?”

Han Dong had only heard that the Night Watchmen were primarily responsible for ensuring safety during the training period and that in certain circumstances (such as gathering specific clues or conjecturing key information), they would actively approach the squad, giving them some tasks to gain a deeper understanding of the manor.

He never expected.

During the evening stroll with Abe, due to Han Dong’s habit of observing his surroundings meticulously,

he accidentally discovered two night watchmen with identical appearances and moving speeds, which triggered a special task.

It must be said that in designing the “camp tasks,” the Knight Regiment was ingenious, giving participants a sense of a ‘real investigation’ immersion.

“Nicholas, you’re amazing!”

Abe became excited, his white hair and ears slightly trembling.

“Let’s go back first…This matter shouldn’t be seen by other squads.”

Han Dong hurriedly picked up the Night Watchman’s clothes and lantern and went back to the first floor of their quarters with Abe.

After locking the door, they decided not to talk to anyone about this matter.

The letter was temporarily placed on the table.

Abe talked about his understanding of the Night Watchman task first.

“I’ve heard some Knight instructors from the Behemoth Knight Group mention it.

The ‘Night Watchman task’ was approved by the council twelve years ago and officially implemented during training as a special task mode, which effectively increases the variability and elite selection during training.

The number of ‘Night Watchman tasks’ is extremely scarce and deeply hidden.

They are difficult to detect and not easily triggered.

Often, the ‘Night Watchman tasks’ set up in one training session would usually still not be completely claimed even after training concluded.”

“So it’s like a hidden task, right?”

“Yes… A high-difficulty hidden task, or rather, an opportunity that can be encountered but not sought.

It’s surprising that we would trigger it this way.

After all, nobody pays special attention to the appearances of the Night Watchmen, let alone the fact that their faces are covered by hoods, making them hard to recognize in the sparse light.

Nicholas, how did you do it?”

“I have a habit of carefully observing the details of my surroundings, keeping my brain in an active state at all times.

Just like you, Abe, who always keeps his body in a semi-relaxed state, ready to handle any sudden situations.”

“Impressive.”

Abe also wasn’t clear about the specific details.

Opening the envelope, a fine, black folded paper slipped out.

On the front page of the paper was a unique text.

“Because you possess a unique insight, a special investigation task will be given to you and your companion – Night Watchman.”

On the back of the paper, there were detailed task instructions.

[Assist Night Watchman – Jon Tester in completing a night watch job]

Description: Upon finding Jon Tester, he will arrange a night watch job for you.

Reward: Night Watcher Medal (Apprentice)

Note:

. You must wear the Night Watchman’s outfit during the execution of the Night Watchman task.

. You can only receive the corresponding reward when you obtain the recognition of the Night Watchman, otherwise, the task will be considered a failure.

“Jon Tester…that should be the Night Watchman who looks exactly like the other one.”

Abe muttered on the side: “Once we start the night watch job, it might last all night or even longer. Nicholas, you expended a significant amount of energy against Barber Charlie today, and then later obtained the Red Apple… Should we consider it tomorrow night?”

Han Dong hurriedly shook his head to refuse.

“No need, I feel quite spirited… If we manage to complete it tonight, I can get a good sleep tomorrow morning.

After all, our team has already completed three tasks. Resting for half a day wouldn’t hurt, and we are the only squad who can enter the granary.”

“Alright.”

“By the way, what is a ‘Night Watchman Medal’?”

“I also only heard about it… The ‘Night Watchman’ does not only exist during training but is also a secretive organization in the Holy City that does not disclose its existence to the public.Non-Knight personnel are completely unaware of this group’s existence.

I’m also not clear about the specifics.”

“The Night Watchmen… are a secret organization?”

Han Dong became curious, and at the same time looked at the outfit they had brought back, “There is only one Night Watchman outfit.”

Team Leader Abe decisively gave way: “The triggering of this task was entirely your doing, Nicholas. You put it on…I’ll go with you. If I’m not eligible to carry out the task, we’ll see.”

“Alright.”

Han Dong put on the black coat, picked up the lantern, and found this Jon Tester in a place about five streets away.

After the letter was delivered,

The Night Watchman Jon lifted his hood, revealing his face of a middle-aged man with a head of brown hair, stubble, and a stern countenance.

Jon frowned, and in one look, he spotted the familiar young man, “Abe? Why are you here?”

In Jon’s opinion, the one triggering this secret task should be a third-year student with strong insight, not the favored grandson of the regiment commander… After all, the task is too dangerous.

Abe explained briefly: “Actually, it’s mainly…Nicholas here, who discovered that you look exactly like another Night Watchman.”

“Hmm…” Jon didn’t seem to think highly of the freshman, but the bigger issue was he was more worried about Abe’s safety.

“I’ll tell you directly… the task that requires your assistance has high difficulty and high risk… It’s not suitable for you freshmen to execute.

I can apply to the vice commander to let you abandon this night-watch task, and you can get a compensation of 3 points in return.”

“What if we strongly insist on accompanying you, Knight Jon, in executing the Night Watch task?” Han Dong felt very interested in the ‘Night Watchman’ group. With such an opportunity available, he naturally didn’t want to give up.

“You are also elite first-years, you should know your own limits… Let me first tell you what the ‘night watch work’ is that you need to help me with.

About ten hours ago, a team that was executing a related task in the cemetery area caused a sudden surge in the pollution index.

This immediately resulted in two Apprentice Knights falling into a ‘deeply polluted’ state, and they are still in grave danger. They’ve even started to exhibit signs of skin decay and slight mutations.

Several Night Watchmen are currently investigating the source of the contamination in the cemetery and trying to seal it.

The ‘Night Watch work’ you will be facing is directly related to the cemetery… You should know that older Apprentice Knights have no resistance at all. I don’t need to explain how dangerous it is.”

“Okay… Please take us with you, Knight Jon. We are willing to give our all to assist you in handling the cemetery incident.”

Seeing Han Dong say so, Abe also nodded in agreement.

“Alas! Come with me…Abe, put on this coat.

Stay close to me while we’re executing the task. If I determine that you can’t meet the assistance requirements, I will immediately deny your eligibility for the task.”

Jon looked helpless.

Of all people, why did it have to be the commander’s favorite grandson?

If it were any other Apprentice Knight who had come over and got killed, it wouldn’t matter that much.
