Hilbert had already realized that the speed of his thinking far exceeded his actual physical reaction.
It can be said that everyone around, including myself, was moving in a normal manner, and the time that passed might have been less than 1 second or even shorter.
He could feel that his body was very hot. This burning sensation was flowing, but it existed not only in the flesh, but more like in the spirit or soul.
"Kin…Smi…?"
The hoarse voice sounded for the third time, which was probably the main reason for the physical and mental disconnection.
"Sir, thank you for your help... Uh, Sir? Sir!"
"Captain? Captain, are you okay?"
A newcomer touched Hilbert, and Zhao Kai also looked at him with a frown.
"ah?"
Hilbert seemed to be suddenly awakened and shook his head.
"Are you okay? Did you find anything?"
As Zhao Kai asked, even the officers beside him became nervous.
"Yeah, it's okay. I just suddenly thought of something and was stunned."
Hilbert, who had recovered from the inexplicable state, communicated some details of what had just happened with his companions and officers, and gave them suggestions on how to deal with the research of "living hosts".
But in his heart, Hilbert kept thinking about what had just happened.
It wasn't that he intended to hide what had just happened from Zhao Kai and the others, but he had come to his senses and realized what the familiar word "Kinsmei" meant.
Hilbert had seen this word in the family tree, but the pronunciation he originally understood was slightly different from the sound just now, so he didn't think of it at the first time, and only came to his senses later.
The genealogy of the Chakus family records common things, such as the birth and death dates of certain important members, their hobbies, or any glorious events.
There is no mention of dawn in it, so naturally in Hilbert's eyes it was a cover-up record.
The name "Kingsmer" is mentioned in the records of Barons 1 to 12, with a message in Latin indicating Kingsmer's blessing.
If Hilbert had not gone through some old family items that he had not been interested in before after returning to Dawn, and his memory had not improved a lot, he would definitely not have been able to remember them.
Hilbert once thought that Kingsmeyer might refer to the Dawn Association within the family. By the time of the twelfth baron, the Old Dawn had chosen to hide. Now it seems that there may be other meanings.
There is still one-third of the area to be checked, and there is no guarantee that nothing will be missed after this batch is solved, so Hilbert, Zhao Kai and others continue searching.
After learning that the parasitic monsters this time were not of a particularly cunning type and that their threat and perception abilities were relatively poor, they did not need to be as overly cautious as before. The eight of them directly split into two groups and spread out to patrol the refuge area.
To ensure that there are no future troubles, Hilbert suggested that each group patrol all areas again. It would only take an extra hour at most, but it would make people here feel more at ease.
Hilbert had some selfish motives in suggesting this.
If the mission is completed soon, the team will naturally prepare to go back.
But at this moment Hilbert didn't want to leave. He intuitively felt that there was something important here that he couldn't miss.
'An hour. If there is no result in an hour, either publicly state that you want to stay and look for something, or come back next time in a disguised identity.'
Hilbert thought so.
"Captain, can we pass this time?"
Fox followed Hilbert and asked with his excitement still fading.
In the Dawn Association, regular members are as strong as humanoid monsters. Even though they know that their speed and strength are becoming stronger and stronger, the newcomers feel like weak little quails.
Today was my first time fighting a monster and I realized how powerful I am. I should at least be able to pass, right?
Fox looked at the temporary captain in front of him, whose clothes were not dirty. Then he looked at himself and his two companions, whose clothes were covered in blood. He couldn't help but feel less confident.
After the mission, Hilbert and Zhao Kai will go to Dawn Silent Moon Island to rate the performance of the six newcomers.
Newcomers like this must carry out at least 5 missions under the guidance of experienced predecessors, and each time they will be scored by those tactical masters, based on various aspects ranging from emotions to combat results.
Only those with an average score of 5 times higher than the passing line can be certified as having the ability to handle things independently, which brings them one step closer to obtaining the association's seal. If you fail, you will be evaluated again based on the distance between the average score and the passing line and will need to add additional tasks.
"No problem, you guys did pretty well."
Hilbert answered casually, his eyes constantly searching the nearby street shops, cabins and tents.
Because of what happened just now, there were fewer pedestrians around, but most of those doing business continued to operate.
"This way... come here..."
The hoarse voice suddenly rang in his ears again. Hilbert turned his head quickly as if nervously, startling the people around him.
"Captain! Did you find anything?"
Hilbert shook his head. He felt a little groggy now. He looked at the old road that belonged to the original town. The population in that direction seemed to be even less dense.
"Nothing, just go over there and take a look."
Naturally, the three newcomers had no objection to this and followed it in that direction.
There was a church in the original town over there. At this moment, it was packed with people praying. When Hilbert passed by the door, he could hear the crowd inside reciting along with the priest.
"In him was life, and that life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it..."
Fox listened to the prayer inside and said something to the people around him with a smile.
"Unfortunately, praying alone doesn't do anything."
Hilbert glanced back at him.
"At least it can help people reduce their fear. This is someone else's belief, there is no need to rank them higher or lower."
He had just finished speaking when the hoarse voice sounded again.
"Hehehe... hypocritical..."
Hilbert's muscles tensed instantly, and he turned around with a hint of anger and shouted to the side.
"Who? What's playing tricks?"
Several pedestrians were startled by his excessive reaction and intimidated by his aura. They subconsciously raised their hands and stood aside to indicate that they knew nothing.
"Captain...what's wrong with you?"
Fox approached Hilbert carefully, and the latter was stunned for a moment.
"Huh~ Nothing!"
The blood in my body seemed to feel burning for a moment just now.
Although Hilbert said it was nothing, the newcomers didn't think so. This reaction was obviously wrong, so they all became more vigilant.
"Come... I'm here... Aren't you looking for me?"
The hoarse voice sounded again, and Hilbert disappeared from the sight of the newcomers in a flash, and appeared in front of a bookstore in the distance in an instant.
"Bang~" "Ah..."
The woman in the store was frightened by the sudden appearance and knocked over a bookshelf.
In the past, Hilbert would not have been so reckless, but now he didn't even bother to apologize. His eyes were immediately focused on a book that had fallen out of the bookshelf, as if the book itself had gravity.
This is an ancient book with a black cover. There are only two words on the cover: Cage and Oath.
What wrote it was not a regular language, but magic patterns.
The strange burning sensation began to flow through his body and soul again like blood, making Hilbert feel a bit drowsy like an ordinary person in a sauna.
"This book... How much is this book? Plus compensation for the losses in your store, is this enough?"
He managed to soften his tone and as he said this, he had 1,000 pounds in his hand.
“Enough, that’s enough!”
How could the female shop owner dare to say it was not enough? This man appeared as fast as the wind and was obviously not an ordinary person. And the strange book on the ground that had been on the bookshelf at some point in time began to emit strange black smoke.
“Sizzle…”
Just like the subtle sound of oil sizzling, when Hilbert reached out to pick up the book, the strange changes in the book in the shopkeeper's eyes disappeared immediately, as if it was just an illusion.
At this moment, Hilbert's eyes went dark, but he woke up in less than a second.
A pendant inside the clothes was emitting high temperature, like a branding iron that would not burn oneself.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
My heart beat faster involuntarily and I couldn't keep it steady.
Next to the bookstore, Qin Xiaoxia was playing with a lion head pendant. The one in his hand was the symbol of the heir to the title of the Chakus family, while the one on Hilbert's chest had been replaced by him just a moment ago. It was a master work of the forging monster, a pure magic steel alloy creation.
"I'm willing to exchange such a precious thing for a piece of junk that can barely be considered an antique, isn't that quite considerate..."
After muttering to himself, the authentic lion head pendant turned into dust in Qin Xiaoxia's hands and was officially "destroyed and destroyed".
