Chapter 388: Chapter 388: Warning (End of this Volume)
“Absorb the purest energy from life outside the city, eliminate its polluted attribute, and use it as the nourishment for the budding seed … is this Breaking the Seed?”

Also, from the appearance of Cass’ newly sprouted sapling.

The overall seedling holds the stone properties of Adelaide, which will have an impact on Cass’ development in the future.

Indeed, choosing the target of seed-breaking is an important step. No wonder the Knight Academy gives senior students a whole year to complete the Breaking Seed.

When the two seeds in my skull are fully saturated, I’m afraid I’ll have to use the entire ‘relationship network’ to find the ideal target.”

Han Dong pretended to be baptized in the church.

He then whipped the floor hard a few times and joined the rest of the squadron outside the church.

However, during this process, Mr. Black White quietly erased the memory of Han Dong’s alienation with Dumps from the team members’ minds.

The “Secret Stone Incident” was entirely resolved.

Under the leadership of Knight Vino, all the squad members received heavy awards… Double of what was originally predicted at one thousand copper coins. Han Dong promptly returned all the money to Dumps as soon as he got it.

In addition,

The public records of the squad members will contain an ‘excellent performance’ note, which will be greatly beneficial to the future knight selection.

As for Vino Silist, she had an additional advantage in the competition for the Platoon Leader’s position during the next Knight Regiment election.

Afterwards,

Han Dong made an excuse to temporarily leave the team and secretly took Dumps to the Mysterious Department – Darkmoon Tower.

….

“Thank you, Mr. Black White for your assistance in such a silent manner… I’m deeply grateful.”

Upon seeing Mr. Black White, Dumps bent his body 90° to express his sincere gratitude.

If Mr. Black White hadn’t helped deal with the ‘aftermath’, Dumps wouldn’t have had the courage to use that special move.

“As long as you’re on the side of humanity, working for the Holy City… as long as it’s not too troublesome, I’ll discretely handle the aftermath for you.”

Subsequently,

Han Dong and Dumps took their seats.

After drinking the liquor personally mixed by Mr. Black White, they immediately felt their spirits rejuvenated.

“Tell me about the peculiar incidents and speculations you encountered during the Secret Stone Incident.”

Han Dong was the chief narrator, and if he missed anything, Dumps would fill in the gaps.

“… (A lot of analysis and speculation) It’s likely that the person who summoned this demon might possess authority comparable to a regiment leader. Moreover, this summoning of the demon was likely just an experiment.

I speculate that this person will conduct more significant and threatening invasions in the future.”

“Not bad at all.”

Mr. Black White appeared pleased.

“The Holy City cannot depend on the walls alone for permanent, carefree human life… Just like the Writer’s incident that occurred with the Martini Family.

Some clever guys can deceive my Astrology and can creep in through the defense gaps of the Holy City.

My booklet has recorded a considerable number of names suspected of being controlled.”

But this incident involves the knights’ movement and is likely to involve a man in a unique position.”

“Who?”

“The president of the Writer’s Association – Stephen Maknovsky.”

“The President of the Writer’s Association!?”

“You all should be aware of the status of writers within the Holy City.

They have the unique ability to predict the plot in Fate Space… Moreover, during their sleep, they might astral project outside the city and foresee the upcoming danger with their unique vision.

But risk always accompanies them.”

“Is this president…?”

“Stephen Maknovsky was a senior two grades above me. He studied mysticism like me, mastered Astrology, and is proficient in various witchcraft and Divination techniques.

“He was the club president of the Writer’s Association back in his student days, a very… unique student.”

“A classmate of yours, sir?”

“Mmm… I basically couldn’t predict any of his actions – he is a very secretive person.

This Secret Stone incident may be related to him, and what you need to be cautious about is to avoid any contact with the Writer’s Association, as well as him, under any circumstances.

Dumps, apart from going to Fate Space, you should try to stay in the library and study on your own as much as possible.

As for places as sacred as the library, he wouldn’t dare to intrude.”

“Yes.”

“I hope you can complete the [Breaking Seed] as soon as possible and become Formal Knights… then you will be protected by the Knight Regiment.”

…….

Mr. Black White’s admonition ended.

After this incident, Han Dong also found himself somewhat restricted, minimizing his departures from the Mysterious Department… As long as he had the protection of Dark Moon, Han Dong would be absolutely safe.

About two weeks later.

A blond knight, clad in lion armor and riding a sturdy black horse, arrived at the entrance of the Dark Moon Tower to express his gratitude.

The visitor was Cass Martini, the biggest beneficiary of the Secret Stone incident.

After two weeks of stabilisation, the Breaking Seed was successfully accomplished.

A small tree in its infancy had formed inside his skull.

The whole tree was rather dark grey,

The nutrients flowing in its veins were like a dark substance similar to cement,

Stone-like leaves hanging from every branch,

Sword and shield markings faintly visible on the surface of the trunk,

Overall, it gave a very profound impression.

The [Overlord Tree-Stone] was formed.

The news that Cass had broken the seed by killing a severely injured demon had thoroughly spread.

From the moment he stepped out of the [Cross Crusader] training room, he had already received advance invitations from five knight regiments, hoping that Cass could enter the regiment for training as a reserve knight.

However, Cass declined all the invitations and rushed to the Mysterious Department first.

The living dead butler who stopped Cass received instructions, “Cass Martini, you are now qualified to go to the [Old Sewers].”

“Thank you.”

As Cass stepped into the pale yellow sewer filled with fungal spores, he was shocked by the harsh environment here.

Regardless, Cass marched straight ahead with the aura of an Overlord radiating from his body, which completely isolated him from the fungus.

Upon closer examination, it was clear that Cass had gained weight, each of his steps leaving a thick footprint on the ground.

Thump, thump, thump! When he knocked on the hydraulic door covered with fungal mushrooms,

The door was opened by a woman wearing a white lab coat, a probiotic face mask, and drinking wine. At first, Cass thought he had come to the wrong place.

“I’m looking… for Nicholas.”

“Nicholas, there’s a handsome man looking for you.”

“Coming!”

Recently, Han Dong had been in the Plague Laboratory, learning alchemy with the help of the equipment.

When Han Dong stepped out of the laboratory, a tall figure rushed towards him and gave him a big hug.

Gratitude.

Without Han Dong’s preparation, Cass would have completed the Breaking Seed in a slightly above-average manner, definitely not as exceptional as it is now.

“What a profound aura, congratulations, Cass!”
