By reaching out and touching foreheads with the Crowman.
The Crowman spoke indistinctly:
“R…r…reach in…come!”
Han Dong naturally understood the Crowman’s meaning.
The tentacles extended from his palms.
In a friendly state, Han Dong could control the tentacles, ensuring they did not pose a threat.
Using the tentacles to touch the Crowman’s brain, he established a connection at the consciousness level.
Ding!
Consciousness connected.
“Sir! Hello… I am Duo Zeya.
They are Bo and Reji Crows.
Our nest is in the forest not far from here… We took a risk and flew into this dangerous mansion because we smelled you, sir.
We only dared to stop at the border area, thankfully you came here, sir.”
Han Dong was a bit surprised.
He didn’t expect these Crowmen, evolved from crows, to possess a full spectrum of consciousness and intelligence, showing no impediment to communication.
“Can you also sense the danger here?”
“Compared to you, sir, we are very inferior, but we can still detect the intensity of basic scents… if you need our help, sir, we are willing to die for you.”
These Crowman have a similar ‘faith’.
After recognizing Han Dong as their superior, they would readily lay down their lives for him… at least in this respect, humans were no match.
Those who are not afraid of death and are willing to die are fundamentally different from regular soldiers.
“There’s no need for that, I can handle things here… I have a question.”
“Please ask, sir.”
“Why did you identify me as the ‘sir’? Which characteristic of me makes me seem of a higher ‘level’ than you?”
Duo Zeya tilted his head slightly.
“Actually, we are puzzled too.
After all, you look exactly like a human and emit a human scent… However, within these scents, there is also a unique ‘aura’ that is yours alone, sir.
Because some aspects of your physique are related to our lineage ‘crows’, we can recognize you, other animals cannot.”
“You haven’t answered my question yet? Which physical characteristic?”
“Head…”
“Is it the head indeed? Regarding my head… how much information can you discern? I am currently disguised as a human and infiltrating the Holy City to gather information. I need you to give a precise answer.”
Upon Han Dong’s inquiry, the Crowmen seemed a bit nervous.
“We can’t see anything, nothing at all… we only vaguely feel that your head by far transcends us, through your Crow characteristic.
But this feeling is extremely faint.
We absolutely cannot identify which category you belong to, sir.”
“Alright.” Han nodded.
“Sir, if you have no other orders, we will leave now.
We three don’t want to stay in this stench-filled mansion… If you need to return to the Holy City after the matter here is resolved, you may summon us for an escort.” ƒгeewebnovёl.com
“In that case…” Han Dong transmitted a piece of information into the Crowman’s mind.
“Great! We will certainly do it.”
Han Dong removed his hands, terminating the consciousness-level communication.
Caw caw caw~~ The three Crowmen showed a ‘well-behaved’ look, spreading their wings as they flew back towards the Gain Forest.
When Han Dong returned to the granary area and regrouped with the squad, everyone looked at him with a surprised and puzzled expression… Even Desen showed a rarely displayed curious expression.
Communicating with Crowmen seemed quite interesting.
The blacksmith Winry asked in advance:
“Wow! Nicholas, how are you able to live peacefully with the Crowmen? They are neutral, but get quite ferocious when they get close to foreigners… just now, it seemed like they were listening to you.”
“I had a strange feeling right from the start that I could communicate with these crowmen.
So I asked you guys to go first, while I would try… I didn’t expect it to actually work.
This seems to have a direct connection with the mark that Mr. Black White gave me.”
Han Dong pointed to the back of his right hand, where a crow’s mark was faintly visible.
As long as it involves Mr. Black White, no matter how strange it is, everyone can understand and they didn’t ask further questions.
“However, those three crowmen are a type of lower grade wild creatures, they fear the estate and do not dare to come in, it’s pointless… Let’s go! We’re heading to the front door of the granary.”
At the entrance of the granary, there stood a burly knight.
He unconsciously exuded a beastly aura that regular knight squads wouldn’t dare to approach.
Under his hood, he had a terrible face with three claw marks on it and full of stubble.
Only… the situation this time was a bit different.
When this knight guarding the granary sees the leader of the knight team that arrived was white-haired Abe,
his ferocious appearance vanished without a trace.
Instead, he showed a naive smile, and the muscles on his face started to tremble.
His standard guard posture immediately slackened, and a big belly was immediately stuck out.
“Young Master Abe! Why are you here? It’s dangerous… you should stick to the basic tasks.”
All of the knights in the Behemoth Knight Group surely recognize Abe.
But Han Dong has never seen such an ‘apparent’ knight, who’s clearly a bootlicker… no, it’s more like bootlicking a bear.
Even Abe was addressed with honorifics, licking just the right amount… Han Dong wonders what kind of divine bootlicking this person would display in front of Captain Kaimon.
“Uncle Desen, we’re here to complete a mission… these are clues we’ve collected from the ‘wheat field area’. According to our deduction, we need to enter the granary next.”
“What!!”
This bear-man uncle named Desen, stared at the three clue letters in his hand stamped with the knight group’s seal, showed a surprised face.
The fact that this novice team completed three basic tasks in just one day was incredible… freeweɓnovel.cѳm
“Young Master Abe, your strength is truly worthy of being Captain Kaimon’s most approved descendant! I’m blessed to be able to join the Behemoth Knight Group, I hope I can live until the day you become the Captain.”
Abe smiled awkwardly, “Well…Uncle Desen, shall we get to the point? You should have advanced tasks for us, right?”
“Yes! I do have tasks for you.”
Just then.
Swipe, swipe, swipe~Sharp and fierce bird cries echoed through the sky.
Before anyone knew it, a man with a vulture perched on his shoulder and sporting a Mediterranean hairstyle had appeared in front of them.
“Captain Kenny!!”
Uncle bear immediately bowed at a 90° angle, sweat brimming on his forehead…Captain Kenny was quite strict during daily drills.
“Desen, I’ll take care of the granary… you go to the small town area and carry out your patrol tasks.”
“Yes, Captain.”
As this bearman uncle left after handing over all his duties,
Captain Kenny stared at Abe and the others with a serious expression.
“Desen isn’t quite suitable to initiate the advanced task ‘granary’ for you, so I’m taking over… firstly, I am glad to see that you excellent rookies performed exceptionally well on your first day.
However, advanced tasks are different from basic tasks.
Inside this granary, there is the biggest threat in the ‘wheat field area’, with difficulty reaching three and a half stars. Moreover, the target is related to ‘curse’.
I’d advise you to consider giving up on this task.
If you choose to give up, I will guide you out of the estate and go to the Gaine Forest for ‘wilderness survival’. You will earn points based on how many wild beasts you kill.
It’s enough to bring your scores to the ‘good’ standard! As the captain and deputy captain, the two of you will also receive an ‘excellent’ rating.”
Han Dong decisively refused the proposal without any hesitation, “Captain Kenny, we still plan to take a look at the ‘granary area’s mission scroll.”
