"An Extraordinary Knight… would that be someone like the instructor?"

Liens mused inwardly.

He felt that, given the instructor's strength, he should be considered an Extraordinary Knight.

However, since he didn't know the specific power manifestations of an Extraordinary Knight, he was still a bit uncertain.

"Alright, we've talked quite a bit, and we've just arrived at the storeroom."

"Come on, follow me in."

"You need to register your information in the storeroom and collect some basic supplies prepared by the family for you, which are just some changes of clothes and weapons."

Jonathan led Liens and the others to a large mansion and stopped, pointing to one of the large rooms.

With that, Jonathan stepped inside first, and Liens and the others followed suit.

Upon entering the storeroom, the first thing that caught their eye was a huge wall.

Next, there were some office desks and chairs, and a small number of people.

There was nothing else worth mentioning.

The entire storeroom's layout was simply an orderly arrangement of desks and chairs.

However, this was only the visible layout.

In reality, upon entering, it was easy to see that the storeroom was actually divided into two parts: an inner and an outer section.

This could be seen from a passage in the wall.

The information registration process was very simple: just fill in your name, height, and weight on a piece of paper.

While they were filling it out, Jonathan also reminded Liens and the others not to make mistakes with their height and weight.

Otherwise, the clothes distributed later might not fit.

Soon after filling in their information, Liens and the others received their basic supplies.

Several sets of black clothes, a standard longsword, and a wooden token.

Numbers were also carved on the wooden token.

Liens took a look and found that the number recorded on the wooden token in his hand was 3405.

"You should all have noticed the wooden token in your hands, right?"

"This is your symbol of identity, and the number on it is your personal identification number."

"The wooden token is very important; don't lose it, because you will need it for everything in the future, whether it's taking on missions or exchanging items in the storeroom."

"Oh, and this thing is also an alchemical item; the family can use it to look up your name and contribution points."

"It's a bit like the Adventurer's Card issued by the Adventurers' Association, just with simpler functions."

Jonathan explained the purpose of the wooden token to Liens and the others.

"I forgot to mention, our identity is that of the family's Dark Guards, so our uniform is black clothing, and these sets of clothes are for you to change into."

"The quality of the clothes is very good, but they can't withstand rough treatment."

"If you tear them, you can only buy new ones yourself, meaning you'll have to use contribution points to exchange for them. However, you are all new recruits, and your current contribution points are 0."

"So, even if you wanted to buy them, you couldn't."

"Besides, with that spare money, you'd be better off exchanging for a better weapon or an alchemical potion."

"At least these can help you survive and complete the missions arranged by the family, to gain more contribution points."

Jonathan continued to explain.

"Alright, the matter with the storeroom is temporarily finished here; let's quickly head to the next place."

"As for what contribution points can be exchanged for in the storeroom, you can look into that yourselves later."

"Time is a bit tight; if you still want to have dinner, quicken your pace."

"We'll talk as we walk."

After Jonathan finished speaking, he walked out of the storeroom, and Liens and the others continued to follow closely behind him. This copy comes from content on *.

"The next place we're going is the Mission Hall; by the name, you should know what kind of place it is."

"That's right, the Mission Hall is where we Dark Guards receive missions."

"Here, I need to emphasize something."

"Although family missions can be taken on according to personal will, the consequences are very severe if they are not completed."

"Therefore, before taking on a mission, it's best to first weigh your own abilities."

"Don't get hot-headed and immediately accept a mission just because the reward contribution points are high."

"Don't act impulsively; use your brain more. If you're lucky, you might live a bit longer."

Jonathan reminded Liens and the others.

Upon hearing this, Ben, whose expression had become somewhat solemn, asked Jonathan, "Are the missions very dangerous? You've emphasized the issue of survival twice."

"Missions are certainly dangerous; otherwise, the family wouldn't specifically cultivate a group of people like us."

"Moreover, some family missions are mandatory, meaning they cannot be refused."

"You will receive such a mission when you arrive at the Mission Hall later."

"Don't worry, that's just your necessary beginner mission; it generally won't be dangerous."

"It's mainly to help you familiarize yourselves with the mission process and to perform some 'baptisms'."

Jonathan continued to explain to Liens and the others in a calm tone.

"What is a baptism?"

Someone noticed that Jonathan had emphasized the word 'baptism' slightly, so he asked him.

"Baptism, huh… it's killing people."

"This is training specially arranged by the family for you, so that you don't mess up important family matters later because of a soft heart."

Jonathan's tone remained calm, but his words somewhat stunned those present.

The atmosphere immediately fell silent.

Killing, such a simple word, but the meaning it represents is very heavy.

Taking the Life of one's own kind is not something that can be taken lightly for any species.

And now, it was spoken casually as a topic.

Although among those present, there were also those like Ben who had killed people in the Training Camp.

But not everyone was like Liens, whose worldview had changed, and who was completely indifferent to the act of killing, even somewhat eager to try it.

So, upon hearing Jonathan say, 'baptism is killing people,' many people's expressions became somewhat grim.

Especially Ben.

Standing beside him, Liens could even vaguely feel the low pressure emanating from him.

Presumably, he hadn't fully recovered from that training duel yet.

However, that was only yesterday afternoon, and the time was too short; it was perfectly normal for Ben not to have adjusted his mindset.

If he could just casually let go of the fact that he had killed someone, Ben wouldn't have his current personality.

"Come to think of it, so many things have happened from yesterday afternoon until now, I can barely keep count," Liens thought to himself.

Soon, in the silent atmosphere, Jonathan led Liens and the others to the Mission Hall.

The Mission Hall's decor was quite a bit more luxurious than that of the storeroom.

In addition to office desks and chairs, the room was also decorated with various potted plants, and the interior space appeared much larger than the outer storeroom.

Of course, there were also many more people inside, many of whom were dressed in black like Jonathan.

Jonathan pointed to several counters inside the Mission Hall, then said to Liens and the others:

"These are the mission counters. Each of you go up and receive your beginner mission."

"When you receive your mission, if you have any questions, you can directly ask the Miss sitting behind the counter; she will patiently answer your questions."

After speaking, Jonathan found a place with desks and chairs and sat down, waiting for Liens and the others to go to the counter themselves to accept their beginner mission.
