Beep, beep, beep.
With the sound of the dismissal whistle, the first day of the elite training camp’s summer activities ended.
The students were physically and mentally exhausted. Everyone looked forward to a good night’s sleep, so their bodies could recover to their best condition as soon as possible.
Moss was excited to hear the dismissal whistle. At that moment, he was waiting in Flying Wolf’s office. It was a small office that was abnormally simple. The only attention-grabbing thing there was the cabinet behind the desk.
The cabinet was full of various trophies and certificates, telling Moss that the owner of his office was an exciting person. He was engrossed in reading the certificates when hurried footsteps sounded outside the door.
Then Flying Wolf and Red Spider entered the office together.
“Sorry to keep you waiting, Moss.” Flying Wolf put down the notebook and pointed to the conference table on the other side of the office with a big smile. “Let’s sit over there and talk.”
“That’s okay. I enjoyed looking at your trophies and certificates.” Moss smiled and followed Flying Wolf.
“That was all long ago, so it’s not worth mentioning. Those are just there for me to reminisce. After all, people love recalling the past when they get old.” Flying Wolf shook his head with a bitter smile and handed Moss a glass of water. “Here, have a drink.”
Red Spider sitting opposite him, drank a mouthful of water and said coldly, “Hey, when did you become so modest, Flying Wolf?”
“Hahaha, enough about me. Let’s talk about Moss.” Flying Wolf changed the topic. “By the way, you shocked me again today. You’ve improved a lot compared to before the college entrance exams.”
Moss stood up and bowed to the two. “Speaking of which, I must thank you for bringing me to the front lines, Instructor Flying Wolf. My experience there broadened my horizons.
“I must also thank Instructor Red Spider and the others for caring for me, helping me, and even providing excellent places to prepare for the exams. I wouldn’t have achieved such outstanding results if it weren’t for you all.”
Red Spider hurriedly stood up, indicating that Moss did not need to be overly courteous. “Don’t be like that, Moss. It was simply our duty to help you. You’ve obtained those results mainly because of your own hard work.”
‘This kid knows how to repay one’s kindness. Not bad.’
Moss knew his manners and was handsome. Many girls would fall head over heels for him if he went to university.
Red Spider thought that if Moss found out, some of them would probably be shocked. She could not help but think about what would happen to her, even though nothing did.
Still, someone had changed her, and it was Moss. His chivalry gave her hope for the knights’ revival and cleared up most of the darkness in her heart caused by the fall of knighthood and her lover’s departure.
At the same time, Moss’s strong sense of protection showed her the meaning of life again. It rekindled her hope for life as her current self was no longer cold and expressionless as before.
Instead, Red Spider was passionate about life, and her expression was more colorful.
Moss noticed the two did not take the initiative to mention the buried city, so he asked, “Instructors, can we talk about the buried city now?”
Flying Wolf and Red Spider became severe after hearing the words “buried city.”
“Since we’ve made a deal, I will tell you everything I know,” Flying Wolf slowly said as if he was a little reluctant. “The buried city is an underground civil organization. It’s very mysterious and low-key.”
Those who knew of that place called it the buried city because it was an underground civilization.
“The country doesn’t control the buried city, but the buried city never does things that go against the country’s will. It even takes the initiative to help the country sometimes.” Flying Wolf drank some water and looked out the window.
Then he continued, “If the buried city goes against the city lord’s will, they will never obey, even if the army appears.”
Moss asked curiously, “Instructor Flying Wolf, where did you read about this? Why can’t I find more information about it?”
“Of course, you can’t find it. You must abide by the buried city’s rules if you want to survive there. Otherwise, they will subject you to their crazy revenge.
“Their priority is to keep the Buried City’s secrets, and one cannot mention their matters to non-members and the public. That is also why the Buried City is so mysterious.”
Flying Wolf became excited when he saw how engrossed Moss was in listening. Flying Wolf looked like he was reminiscing. “That place is excellent for training, improving one’s strength, and obtaining resources. In addition, there are special missions that significantly benefit your mount’s growth.
“At the same time, it is also constructive for your personal advancement. However, that place is also dangerous. There are no names in that place, only code names. What counts is one’s points and strengths, not levels. In short, you must rely on your own abilities to get what you want.”
Moss carefully listened to everything as if he was fascinated. Red Spider noticed this and said, “There’s a threshold for the Buried City’s membership.”
“What is it, Instructor Red Spider?” Moss asked.
“You must be eighteen years old and above level 25,” Red Spider replied.
“Does that mean I’m not qualified to enter now?” Moss felt a chill in his heart.
“That’s the strict meaning behind what Red Spider said, but it’s not absolute.” Flying Wolf slowly raised his head and gritted his teeth as if he had made a great decision.
He slowly said, “You can also enter if you have a letter of introduction from a third party authority, such as us from the elite training camp.”
“That’s perfect!” The usually calm Moss could not help but become excited. “I’ll have to trouble the elite training camp to help me write a letter of introduction. In return, I will be at your beck and call if the elite training camp needs me in the future.”
He looked at Flying Wold and Red Spider with anticipation as he said that.
Red Spider advised earnestly, “Have you thought it through, Moss? Laws and dangers are lurking there.”
Moss nodded heavily, his eyes filled with determination. “Yes, I’ve thought it through.”
“All right, since you’ve thought about it, I will write a letter of introduction for you now,” Flying Wolf said as he got up and walked straight to his desk. He picked up a pen and quickly wrote on a piece of paper. Then he stamped the elite training camp’s badge onto the paper.
After chatting, Moss bid farewell to the two deputy chief instructors. Then he took the letter and left Flying Wolf’s office smilingly.
After Moss left, Red Spider asked in puzzlement, “You know how dangerous it is there, yet you told him the solution and gave him the letter of introduction?”
Flying Wolf did not answer Red Spider’s question immediately. Instead, he lit a cigarette and looked out the window thoughtfully.
