The game has become a real alternate world

Chapter 1169 - 808: Tender Shoots

Eastern Wilderness.Candlelight City.

This city where the Night Watchers originated.

It is also the largest city on this continent, now fully serving as the main support base for the Night Watchers.

Many family members of the Night Watchers, and even captains or those unable to fight due to various issues, live here.

It also includes rescued children who live here as well.

As the Night Watchers set their footing firmly on the Lebia Continent and took root there.

Headquarters basically moved entirely to that side.

Consequently, this city fully became akin to a retirement haven, increasingly turning into a home in the rear.

Becoming more significant as a memorial place.

Of course, this is solely for the Night Watchers, to the world, it remains a grand city, and to this continent, it is still a core place.

It is now dusk.

The golden glow of the sunset gently caresses the warm yellow stone wall of "Children’s Home", like the leaves of climbing ivy rustling in the breeze, whispering farewells.

Children’s Home.

Originally just a simple orphanage, with more and more children rescued by the Night Watchers, it has become a vastly expansive residential area.

All sorts of children live here, along with various schools established within.

For many orphans, this place is home.

Equally, this is the "home" where Adam, Eva, Flying Squirrel, Tokke, and Pokanasha transitioned from ignorance to awareness.

Today is the day they pack their luggage, officially leave here, and step towards the Night Watchers New Recruit Training Camp.

Although Children’s Home was once a place for nurturing newborn Night Watchers, over time, as the population grew, not all children could join the Night Watchers.

But those with talent and skills naturally could join the Night Watchers.

Adam and the others, though newborns of the Blood Race, have been living in Children’s Home for many years.

Now, they have finally matured to an age where they can go to the Night Watchers’ New Recruit Training Camp as they hoped before.

Going to the New Recruit Training Camp symbolizes having the qualifications to become Night Watchers.

However, whether they become Night Watchers isn’t a concern for them, as they are newborns of the Blood Race; unless they truly dislike the lifestyle of fighting and prefer logistics or a life of their own, joining the Night Watchers for them is a certainty.

Nevertheless, they aren’t the only youngsters qualified to become Night Watchers this time.

In groups, they gather, saying farewell to other "family" at home.

The farewell atmosphere at the door is not melancholic; rather, it’s brimming with excitement and anticipation for the future.

"Mother of Children’s Home"—a kindly smiling elderly human woman, hugs each child.

Her husband, a retired Night Watcher and old scout, offers encouragement with a voice hoarse from age: "Go on, little rascals! Make me proud over at Ring Tower City!"

In some sense, these two are like foster parents to these children.

Many family members or retired Night Watchers seek work in Children’s Home, watching over children; these are seeds of the new generation.

Of course, there’s also the chance someone might listen to their tales, praising their past exploits.

Adam stands at the forefront, carrying a not-so-large pack on his back, standing upright and straight.

On principle, they could receive space equipment, but free space equipment isn’t provided until they enter the New Recruit Training Camp.

Compared to other children’s pure excitement, his slightly deep red eyes reflect more of a heavy sense of responsibility.

From a young age, he held maturity beyond his years, even more so now.

He gently pats Tokke’s somewhat short shoulder beside him, ensuring his luggage is secured, then glances back at everyone, his voice calm yet firm.

"Check your things, don’t be careless. We need to go to the port and board the ship for the training camp, everyone knows the route, don’t cause any trouble on the way."

He naturally has a caring nature, the group’s recognized "leader".

"Trouble? Ha!"

Eva intercepts the conversation, her delicate face slightly tilted, showing the grace and pride of the Leopard Woman, with a pair of leopard ears emerging and moving, her lively black leopard tail subtly swaying behind.

"I’m not a child now! I want to be like Lady Raelia, a great figure!"

She sneaks a glance at Adam’s calm profile, noticing his slightly doting gaze, her cheeks flush slightly, adding quickly.

"Anyway...don’t treat me like a child, honestly, you’re not much older!"

She says while snorting.

"Humph! You ignorant mortals!"

Having transformed from child to youth, Flying Squirrel seems unchanged; he suddenly spreads what he considers his "Abyss Cloak", an ordinary dark cloak, with frayed and worn corners.

His scarlet eyes attempt to exude a condescending air.

"While you still dream, I foresee the glory that will shine in the training camp! The Blood Race’s breath will sweep through the New Recruit Camp with my will! Tremble, future ’Shadow Personal Guard’!"

He strikes a pose he deems very cool.
