The final gentleman

Heading to the Holy Grail Mountain, the three teams that executed the relic incident were all selected through battles.

They all have considerable strength, and they should kill the pathogens in the mountains of their choice and reach the top. After all, the exploration of the relics of the old world is the focus of the event.

However, according to the news sent back by the monitor, there are only two teams heading to the old world.

One is Yi Chen's team, and the other is the team that chose Black Pussy and is led by the female captain Norma Coppet.

The third team that chose the climbing route - [Sepsis], that is, the team of white-robed Iskalion Lotson, did not reach the entrance of the passage, and the monitors never saw them.

This team was completely missing within the Holy Grail Mountain,

Since Lotson is a member of the Magic Association, he is valued by the association because he is proficient in rare ancient magic. He is very powerful and should not be lost in the mountains.

Considering Lotson's value and the potential threats in the mountains, Zion immediately sent elite gentlemen to the baron's mansion where the [Sepsis] incident occurred to search for traces of the team.

The gentleman responsible for the investigation found that the baron's mansion had been completely cleared. The second half of the mansion was even completely destroyed by a small meteorite, leaving a huge black crater.

The final result was that the team had eliminated the sepsis and continued climbing.

This is strange,

Now that the main danger has been eliminated, why is the team still missing during the climb?

Just as the gentlemen were preparing to search up the mountain road behind the baron's mansion,

A person walked down the mountain road shrouded in gray mist. It was Lotson in white robes... But his physical condition was quite bad. He had not eaten properly for many days and his body was weak and his eyesight was blurry.

What's more important is that his skin is covered with blood holes, and blood is constantly oozing out.

He was sent to the Haiou Clinic on the way for treatment. After slowly regaining consciousness,

According to his dictation, the team successfully eliminated the source of sepsis in the Baron's mansion.

But at the last moment, Baron Francis cast a [blood curse] at the cost of self-sacrifice. Although Lotson immediately used magic to remove the curse seemingly effectively for the whole team,

However, during the subsequent mountain climbing, as the concentration of the gray area increased, the curse was induced to erupt.

Based on the bleeding situation of the individual, it was analyzed that the essence of the [Blood Curse] was a filovirus, which could not be eradicated by their existing methods.

The team decided to abandon the incident and returned to the halfway station for treatment, but became fully ill on the way down the mountain.

Only Lotson managed to survive by using the high leather content (13%) of gentleman's clothing and constantly washing his body with purification magic.

Lotson’s remarks were affirmed by the Seagull Clinic.

The blood cells they extracted exploded and died within a minute. By injecting the unique "Seagull Secret Medicine", the filovirus in Lotson's body was gradually suppressed and eliminated.

Lotson, who was in stable condition, was sent back to Zion to receive follow-up treatment at the General Hospital to completely eliminate the virus from his body.

…

【Lower Street】

After wandering around for a while, Yi Chen discovered an important problem - [Gui].

Although the restaurant opened in the lower area does not even have a sign, the price of the food inside is ten times higher than that in the college cafeteria.

The reason is that some ingredients are explicitly prohibited by the organization.

Being too hungry and about to faint at any time, Yi Chen found a small shop with a barely acceptable price, ordered a large portion of seafood braised noodles, and began to gulp down nutrients for his body.

The more I ate, the more I got excited, so I ordered a few more expensive dishes until my stomach was completely full.

Even if you don't have enough money, you can use Professor Chamberson's business card to get credit.

Looking at the empty plates in front of me, stroking the abdominal muscles that were pushed up by the ball, an unprecedented sense of satisfaction overflowed throughout my body.

Yi Chen lay back on the seat and enjoyed a moment of comfort.

"Next, I have to find Teacher Zed to train my body. It is estimated that it will take less than a month to reach the limit. I can already clearly feel the corresponding limit of my body.

However, just maxing out [Physique] is not enough.

According to the settings of the "Madman's Box", after I pass the physical level, there will inevitably be a third level of decryption, and by then I will need to reach the limit of [Perception].

The only way to improve perception is the principal.

Try to get it done within a year..."

Logically speaking, for someone as young as Yi Chen, he would get a suitable relic just one year after arriving in Zion. At this time, you can completely relax and give yourself a few years to slowly adjust to your condition.

But Yi Chen had no intention of relaxing at all.

After he saw the scene of the old world, met the Duke himself, met the three men in the monastery who were chasing him, and had an in-depth exchange with Yuehen in the clinic,

Yi Chen just wants to seize all the time he can, and wants to break through the limit quickly and reach a level where he can confront open source patients head-on.

Able to pass the organization's [Monitor Assessment] and rely on one's own strength to roam the world,

You can travel to the depths of the old world to conduct more interesting transactions with the Duke.

I just lay on my seat for five minutes, then immediately got up and paid at the counter.

As soon as the checkout was completed, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a white figure flashing past the door of the restaurant... Ordinary people might not be able to see clearly, but Yi Chen accurately captured it. The flashing white figure was none other than the white-robed Lotson.

This is the second time we have met, and it feels quite strange.

Instinct urged Yi Chen to chase him out, but the moment he walked out, he was put on his shoulder by a hand.

"William Behrens! It is indeed you!

Previously, I needed to inspect a batch of special magic materials, so I walked in a hurry and didn't pay much attention. I just felt that the smell was familiar.

Later, when I thought about it carefully, wasn't this breath just you, William? So I came here specifically to have a look, but I didn’t expect it was really you.

Are you also purchasing materials that do not meet the organization's regulations? "

Yi Chen turned around, not being affected by the other party's preconceptions, but carefully examining the white-haired young man with the vision provided by Little Putao.

Nothing strange happened, it was just that Lotson seemed a little different from the last time we met.

Yi Chen immediately switched to a smiling expression, "My clothes were ordered here. I just came back from the old world, so naturally they need to be repaired."

"Oh! Is it Mr. Ivan's unknown clothing store? No wonder...I heard that the old gentleman used to be a senior tailor in the organization, but later resigned from his position due to injury."

"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

"Wait a minute, Mr. William, please accept my business card. If you are free, we can chat about ancient magic in person.

After all, you are also focused on [intelligence]. When you graduate from the academy, you can choose to join our Magician Association. I will be your recommender. The president will definitely be very happy then.

The Magicians Association will occasionally promulgate some special tasks related to magic. These tasks will be taken up internally first, and only the tasks abandoned internally will be transferred to the Gentlemen's Hall.

If there is a suitable task and Mr. William doesn't mind, you can form a temporary team with me. "

Yi Chen took a business card with gold characters on a white background and asked, "Where are your teammates?"

"The [Baron Route] we chose last time, the actual difficulty reached over five stars, and I was the only one who barely survived... Things are unpredictable~ Remember to contact me if you have time."

Such an answer made Yi Chen stunned for a moment. In his impression, the team led by Bai Mao Lotson was very strong, but he didn't expect that two people died before reaching the passage.

Putting the business card in his breast pocket, he turned and left.

However,

As Yi Chen walked away from the street, the white-haired Lotson stood still, maintaining a fixed frequency of waving gestures.
