Chapter 14

Du Mingna's reaction speed is very fast.

 When the villagers asked a question, he answered it.

 The specific time and location of the open class were gradually finalized in their questions and answers.

 Five days later in the afternoon, he would give a lecture in front of the gentle slope next to his house! There were no clocks or anything in the village to indicate the specific time, so the villagers usually worked by looking at the sky.

 Du Mingna could only give them a rough time range.

 When the sun climbed over the top and shifted westward, the villagers could prepare to take their positions near his house at the gentle slope.

 Du Mingna's house was at the bottom of the slope, several tens of meters away from the actual sloping area.

 The slope was not steep, and the small grass between the scattered stones on the slope was soft and low.

 Du Mingna looked at this gentle slope and felt that it was somewhat like a natural classroom with steps.

 People sitting on the slope could see him at the bottom of the slope, and he could also better notice the expressions of all the people who came to listen to the class and get timely feedback from them.

 When Du Mingna set the time, he was slightly worried.

 The system required the open class to be completed within seven days, and he also needed to reserve time for lesson preparation.

 In addition, the system vaguely revealed information about the invasion of monsters through task penalties.

 Du Mingna didn't know if the villagers would have the time and mood to attend the class five days later in the afternoon.

 If the monster invasion did not harm the village, could the open class proceed as usual? Du Mingna gave himself an extra two days as a buffer.

 If anything unexpected happened, he could still postpone the open class.

 The content of the open class that was released early was still only the general category of "Gray Rock Country History.

" However, Du Mingna had a rough idea of what to say.

 The original body did not like to study, but was particularly interested in the gossip between nobles.

 Even some gossip about nobles that had become history could attract the original body.

 For this reason, Du Mingna remembered quite a bit of interesting history of the Gray Rock Country.

 For example, two barons fought over a woman and agreed to a battle at a certain time and place.

 However, one of the barons did not play by the rules and secretly drugged the enemy's troops on the eve of the agreed war time, causing the enemy's troops to be preoccupied with diarrhea and not in the mood to fight.

 The baron who drugged won the battle but was scorned by the woman.

 In the end, he watched helplessly as the beloved woman fell into the arms of a viscount and became the eighth wife of the viscount.

 The baron who drugged, feeling regretful, made a determined effort to improve his strength.

 After experiencing numerous hardships and obstacles, he finally became a viscount and could now sit on equal footing with the viscount who took away his beloved woman.

 The result... a tragedy occurred.

 A necromancer who practiced forbidden necromancy in his territory was exposed, and the Magic Tower sent people to kill the necromancer.

 The necromancer fought back desperately.

 The battle between the necromancer and the mage resulted in the deaths of the newly appointed viscount, the veteran viscount, and the baron who drugged, with their families being destroyed and corpses littering their territories.

 The three noble territories were reclaimed by the royal family and became part of the royal territory, named the Red Dan County.

 After several hundred years of reproduction, Red Dan County has regained its former vitality.

 The royal family is worried that there are still traces of the necromancer's practice of necromancy on this land and has not dared to grant it to other nobles.

 Some old mages from the Magic Tower occasionally come to this land to explore, trying to find out anything related to necromancy and exchange it with the Magic Tower to elevate their status.

 But they have always been unsuccessful.

 Du Mingna is ready to tell this history, to talk more about the beauty of the woman, how the two barons competed for the beauty's favor and compared their wealth.

 He also talked about the rules of noble duels, how the baron who drugged others broke the rules, but this baron faced the disdain of other nobles, shamelessly focused on developing his strength, and eventually became a viscount through his achievements.

 When it came to the necromancer, he would also talk to the villagers about what the magic tower was and how terrifying the forbidden necromancy was...

 It was all over the place, and he didn't know if he could finish in two hours.

 The villagers clarified their questions and realized that it was getting late, so they each planned to go home.

 Just then, a villager exclaimed, "What's that! Look, everyone!" As the villager shouted, he pointed to the sky.

 His tone was too panicked, scaring the other villagers and causing them to react excessively.

 Some villagers had already accelerated towards the nearest stone house, while others began to search for weapons nearby.

 Daniel picked up Dora and ran towards the nearest stone house.

 As they each acted, they took a moment to look in the direction pointed out by the first villager who made a sound and looked towards the sky.

 Du Mingna looked at the sky but completely lacked the awareness of the villagers' reaction.

 It was only Gus who pulled him with one hand and pulled old John with the other, heading towards his stone house.

 The villagers ran smoothly, not knowing how many times they had encountered monster attacks to practice.

 Gus pulled Du Mingna into his own stone house and watched as the stone house door was quickly closed.

 Through a small gap before the stone house door was completely closed, he vaguely saw a bird outside his door taller than a person.

 The bird was too big to enter the stone house through the stone door.

 If this bird were more powerful, it might be able to break through the stone wall and have a chance to enter the house.

 Once inside, Gus still didn't feel at ease.

 He let go of Du Mingna and old John's hands and went to open the entrance to the basement to let the two hide inside.

 Just then, Du Mingna heard the voice of the system.

 "'Magic First School' plaque has been delivered, please sign for it, host.

" Du Mingna blinked.

 A big bird, a plaque? So, the villagers were scared to hide for their lives not because of some unknown monster attack, but because a mailman was delivering a plaque to him? "...Yes," the system replied.

 Du Mingna sighed and opened the door.

 Fortunately, he could now open and close the door by himself without needing help.

 He pressed the door-opening mechanism, and Gus happened to activate the mechanism to open the entrance to the basement, turning back to call for him and old John to hide inside.

 As a result, Gus saw the stone door slowly opening.

 This scene scared Gus, and he rushed over.

 The opening stone door could be closed again! As long as he acted in time, he might be able to close the stone door again before the creature outside could harm the people inside the stone house through the open door!

He had a lot of things to curse Du Mingna for! Did he not know that if the attacking monster confirmed that there were people in a certain stone house, it would target that stone house more and refuse to leave?

Would it attack the stone house more frantically? Simply hiding was not enough; it was also necessary to make the monster think there was nothing inside the stone house to increase the chances of surviving the monster's attack and staying alive!

He didn't even dare to talk to Du Mingna and old John just now, afraid that the sound would startle the big bird outside! Du Mingna felt a shadow pass by his side, then saw Gus next to him, pushing his hand away to operate the door-closing mechanism.

 He helplessly said, "Mayor Gus, the thing outside is a delivery, it's very safe.

" Gus closed the door in a daze.

 He actually heard Du Mingna's words.

 But the information in the words was too much for him to process, and he needed time to digest it.

 Du Mingna pushed away Ges's hand and opened the door again.

 Good, this time the door was successfully opened.

 The big bird outside swayed its body and leaned slightly to one side.

 Even without these movements, Du Mingna could see the plaque on its back.

 "Magic First School" written in the words of this world.

 The plaque had a deep walnut-colored frame.

 The background of the plaque was black, just like the student records.

 The golden words on it were bold and domineering, unlike the meticulous student records.

 Du Mingna looked at the plaque nervously.

 His current school couldn't match the plaque of "Magic First School"! "Ding! Special mission issued! Host is required to hang up the 'Magic First School' plaque within a day! This is to motivate the host to work hard! Please always remember the school's development goals and avoid deviating!" The system's voice ended here.

 Du Mingna asked in confusion, "What about the reward? What about the punishment?" If there wasn't any, he considered hiding the plaque.

 It would be even better if he could store it in the system's backpack!

"...Mission completion reward: Random team summoning order *1.

 Mission failure punishment: Three times the number of demon invasions two days later.

" Du Mingna was shocked.

 The reward was easy, he could study it slowly after receiving it.

 But the punishment for failing this mission clearly told him that demons would really attack Gray Rope Village two days later?

He had received the first part of the main mission yesterday, saying that demons would invade in three days, but today it became two days! With a heavy heart, Du Mingna walked to the side of the big bird and took down the plaque tied to its back.

 The big bird swayed its body again, indicating for Du Mingna to tie the rope that had previously secured the plaque back to itself.

 It then nudged Du Mingna's shoulder with its head, which was as big as Du Mingna's head, and took a few steps to the side, moving further away from Du Mingna, then spread its wings and flew into the sky.

 With its wings spread, its already huge figure seemed to cover the sky.

 The sound it made when flying was even louder, flapping loudly, causing Du Mingna, who was close to it, to feel a slight numbness in his ears.

 Ges was still standing inside the door, staring in amazement as Du Mingna took down the plaque and watched the big bird fly away.

 The sound of the big bird's wings faded away, and its figure disappeared.

 Ges finally understood and touched the equally stunned Old John.

 "What, what's going on? What was that bird just now? Old John, did your viscount start using this kind of thing for delivery?" And what about that plaque, what's going on!
