Chapter 148: Re-Entering the Bell Tower
Night.
Han Dong deliberately asked the dormitory manager to bring in three servings of food
Dinner in the dorm room with two of the housemates.
The main purpose, was to understand [Togo], After all, Han Dong had introduced him into the prison by forced internment, and the two were tied together through a master-servant relationship, rather than the two being 'best friends' like Chen Li.
Chen Li also seemed to reject Togo somewhat, leaning as close to Han Dong as possible during meals.
During the meal, Togo's eating style was however the most polite and cleanest.
After eating the extra-large portion of triple-ripened steak.
Togo continued to cut the plate into small pieces, chewed and swallowed.
In the end, even the metal knife and fork, as well as the small metal spoon for the soup, were also eaten together, clean and environmentally friendly.
His pure black eyes stared at the plate the entire time, not saying a word, as this 'good boy' was sitting in his seat, without any unnecessary movement at all.
"Togo, you should be able to understand me, right?"
As Han Dong asked the question, Togo slowly opened his mouth full of sharp teeth, and from the depths of his throat, he emitted a burst of demonic language that Han Dong could understand due to the master-servant relationship.
"Yes, what can I do for you?"
"Just be able to communicate properly, "
To be honest, Han Dong didn't really want to send the shelter directly as a slave.
Harmonious coexistence was the core idea that Han Dong held fast to.
The main issue was still that if the foundation of the relationship could be laid, the shelter would do its best to help.
"Any physical need you have; you can tell me. I've heard that you enjoy flogging yourself, and I can provide you with props and places for that, if you need me to do it, that's fine too."
Self-flagellation was a big hobby of Togo's, and his expression changed slightly when he was pointed out by Han Dong.
"Thank you."
"There's still a chance for us to travel to 'Old Derry Town' in the future, so whether it's the Joker's business or your own, you can find a way to take care of it then.
Any ideas you have, you can talk to me about them.
As long as it's not particularly outrageous, we're all open to discussion."
When talking about 'Old Derry Town', Togo looked calm. It was because the concept of 'home' at his subconscious level had shifted.
Now, cell number two was his home.
"Thanks." Togo's expression remained unchanged.
Han Dong signaled that Chen Li would rest in the prison first.
"Let me test your physical strength tonight in your room."
Using a more tactful wording, he found a chain and closed the doors and windows of his dorm room, preparing to bring the two closers together through 'hobbies'.
After an hour of continuous 'iron whip massage', Han Dong received a notification of the change in intimacy from his brain.
Leaving aside the master-servant relationship.
Han Dong and Togo's intimacy had changed to 'neutral'.
------------------------
The next day.
Han Dong, who had made up for his sleep, rushed to the [Stargazing Room] early in the morning to discuss the matter of 'personal destiny' with Mr. Black and White.
Open door.
Once Han Dong arrived, he asked if the Bell Tower could do it to locate the Destiny Event.
"It can't be done, although the [Bell Tower] can control to some extent how the Gate of Destiny is entered, and can create props to aid in clearing the Destiny Event, but it can't intervene at the 'subjective level' yet.
However, there is one thing that can help you."
Mr. Black and White held this power card that Han Dong had just obtained.
"Since the "Destiny Card" can help you choose any Destiny Event with a difficulty below (), I can take you to the [Clock Tower] and check whether or not there is a background to the event you want below Trainee Knight's two-star difficulty."
"Thank you, Mr. Black and White."
"Well, it's included in your 'wish'.
It's just that the Bell Tower's uniqueness and importance is even above the entire National Royal Knights Academy, The Bell Tower's cabinet is forbidden to even ordinary knights.
This time, I'll take you there, and you won't be allowed to speak the entire time, just follow me."
"Okay!"
Han Dong himself was also curious about the [Clock Tower], whether it was the mysterious "Clockmaker" or the clockwork device with countless derivative functions that were directly related to the Clock Tower.
The essence of the Clock Tower was perhaps a major secret of the Holy City.
"Mr. Black and White, is there a risk of my secret being leaked?
If there is a risk, I can wait outside the Clock Tower for the results of the inquiry."
"It is precisely because of the risk that I am taking you to the Cabinet myself.
First, to show your relationship with me as a student and teacher, and second, to allow you to directly qualify from the Clock worker to enter the Destiny Space alone, it would be a real problem if you were subsequently received alone by the Clock worker and he found out your secret.
To be honest, your "wish" is a bit over the top, and this is something that will cost me quite a bit."
"Thank you, Mr. Black and White."
"Come with me."
Before Mr. Black and White departed, he directly changed into a white mask.
An ethereal aura rippled in; a completely unfamiliar feeling that made Han Dong uncomfortable.
The only thing Han Dong knew and was familiar with was Mr. Black and White wearing a black mask.
------------------------
In front of the clock tower.
Mr. Black and White seems to make contact with the interior through a special method.
A steam brass pipe slowly rose up.
The clock worker wearing a swirling mask stepped out, and his aura seemed to be different from the one Han Dong had last seen, most likely the original.
"Mr. White!"
"Tommy."
The two men call each other by name as they meet, giving a polite hug.
As Mr. Black and White explained the situation, the Clockmaker considered for a moment and led the two into the cabinet area of the Clock Tower.
A mysterious cogged elevator by a room that changed position several times to reach the heart of the clock tower.
"Mr. White, let's pretend that your arrival at the Clock Tower today and this student's solo entry into the Destiny Space never happened, after all, such a special single incident, will cause trouble for me once it's reported.
Treat it as a private matter."
"Thanks a lot, Tommy."
"I still trust Mr. White's 'judgment'."
Saying that, the Clock worker tilted his head towards Han Dong, feeling as if the swirling mask see was hiding a smile.
The middle cabinet.
A unique crystal chamber with walls filled with different styles of gear clocks.
As the clock worker toggles the hands of all the clocks so that they point to a specific position.
Click-click~.
A crystal table rose up in the center of the room, and on it was an ancient, thick book about the size of a dictionary, this book contained the names of all the backgrounds in the Destiny Space.
Its origin was not only related to the Clock Tower, but also attributed to the Holy City Writers Association.
The clock worker flipped the book to the corresponding page number.
"This section corresponds to the backgrounds of events below two-star difficulty (seed stage)."
"Thank you."
Accompanied by Mr. Black and White, Han Dong began flipping through the books quickly.
The speed of Han Dong's scanning made the two seniors slightly surprised.
Within a second, he was able to scan through all the textual content of two pages, purposefully searching for the information he wanted.
"Found it!!!"
