Chapter 392: Chapter 392 Large Cemetery
[Stargazing Room]
Ten days out of the city.
What has been completed is not just the basic establishment of the [Black Sand System].
At the same time, Han Dong has also cooperated with the Swollen Doctor to produce a test pressure reducing agent (selective 5-hydroxy serotonin reuptake inhibitor).
“You couldn’t possibly have developed a new anti-stress drug in just a few short months, could you? This must be knowledge you already brought with you, re-implemented using the existing science and magic in Holy City, am I right?”
Mr. Black White knew that Han Dong didn’t inherently belong to Holy City.
But he never asked about how Han Dong got there.
Looking at this new drug, Mr. Black White could see at a glance that it was not Han Dong’s own development, but was based on prior knowledge.
“Yes…”
“The initial results seem quite good. If this anti-stress drug can be mass produced and sold at reasonable prices in Holy City, it will be of paramount importance to the city.
I will sponsor you a little bit of research funds, but the amount of money will be proportional to your experimental progress and the quality of your drugs.
However, as I said, if you promote this new drug solely in your name, not to mention the suspicion that it will arouse, the council may investigate you.
After all, the issue of ‘pressure’ is taken very seriously in Holy City.
If you want to mass produce and try to circulate it in Holy City, you will need an intermediary, and I can help you with that.”
“Thank you, Mr. Black White.”
“I wholeheartedly approve of anything that can benefit mankind… However, you must also thoroughly research and provide a detailed instruction manual for potential side effects of the drug.”
“Understood.”
The discussion about the anti-depressant medication ends here.
“By the way, Mr. Black White, there’s something else I need to discuss with you… about Fate Space.
In another three months, I’ll be delving into my third year, and the cooldown of Fate Space will be over.
For the next Fate Space… I plan on entering alone.
Nevertheless, it seems that Holy City has explicit regulations that to ensure the rational use of resources, one must enter Fate Space as a team. I was wondering if I could perhaps appeal to you to make an exception.”
“Yes.” Mr. Black White agreed without asking for any reasons.
“Thank you, sir…”
Actually, Han Dong’s reason is quite simple.
The [Balance] that Han Dong himself wants to maintain is not just two abilities, but also the two contained entities within his mind.
If he teams up with exceptional apprentice knights like Abe, Dumps, the chances of the contained entities appearing will be greatly reduced, and the opportunities for practice will not be abundant.
For Togu, a professional scapegoat, Han Dong will drag him out to take a beating at every dangerous juncture.
If the opponent is strong enough to hurt Togu, Togu can improve his physical strength (beating resistance).
After all, the report on [Togu Gonzales] mentioned that he belongs to a special life form and has a variety of growth methods.
This also leads Han Dong more curious about what sort of demons the ‘other residents’ from Old Derry Town might be, who, like Togu, came from Old Derry Town.
The terrifying image of countless arms protruding from the crack, completely suppressing the clown, and pulling it back, as well as the chilling song hummed by the woman, are still fresh in Han Dong’s memory.
However, the case of Chen Li is different.
Since becoming an evil cultivator, her strength hasn’t improved for a long time…
If one day, Han Dong can stand on his own.
The lives in the ‘Land Deed’ outside the city belong to Han Dong’s soldiers.
Then, the containment entities in the Portable Prison are his personal bodyguards.
Each containment entity is a choice made by Han Dong, and he must take responsibility for it.
Besides, Han Dong also planned to try the ‘Solo Fate’ to exercise his single-hand combat ability, laying the foundation for his future solo battles against demons.
……
Time flies swiftly.
Han Dong has spent two years in the Knight Academy. After the so-called summer vacation, Han Dong will enter his junior year as an Apprentice Knight, and the Fate Space will be refreshed.
The latest round of the [Knight Draft] event has been completed.
The Lucius team, which had once been tricked by Han Dong in Stuart Manor, shone brilliantly during the draft… unfortunately, regular Apprentice Knights are not allowed to watch the Knight Draft.
The knights who participate in the draft will join the Thirteen Knight Orders in the future, becoming an important pillar in the Holy City.
The true strength they show during the draft needs to be kept strictly confidential.
As for the final results of the draft, they will be publicly announced through the newspaper.
Among them.
Blood Knight – Lucius Tosser, was selected second by the [Scarlet Knights], immediately obtaining the status of a formal knight, along with some special privileges.
Shadow Assassin – Jane Mikazki, Han Dong’s senior student in the Mysterious Department, the standout among the students of this year in the Mysterious Department, was chosen fifth by the [Black Rose Knight Squad].
Death Spirit Apprentice – Lenze Fiji, was selected sixth by the Terminal Knight Regiment.
It should be noted that the newly returned Death God was also present. He seemed to have particularly requested Lenze to join his knight regiment.
However, these three knights who ranked among the top ten had once been badly fooled by Han Dong.
…
Mysterious Department – Large Cemetery.
That is the place where the butler who picks up Han Dong each time he returns, resides.
According to this butler’s introduction, he is a member of the [Cemetery Managers Committee].
Thousands of zombie butlers live in the Large Cemetery, responsible for all management work on the islands within the Mysterious Department, including guiding Mysterious Apprentices, basic security, sanitation, and cleaning work.
However, their dwelling place, the [Large Cemetery], is not as simple as it seems on the surface.
Under Mr. Black White’s introduction, Han Dong formally entered the Large Cemetery area a month ago.
The dense Yin Qi content far outmatched the cemetery in the Stuart Manor.
Each zombie butler has a detached building below, along with some eerie practice places, offered to Mysterious Apprentices of special properties.
By using his relationship with Mr. Black White, Han Dong created a facade that Chen Li was a Mysterious Apprentice, letting her practice alone in this creepy environment.
As for Togu.
Through his connection with the blacksmith Winry, Han Dong quietly sent him to the [Underground Furnace Bastion], where he bathed in hot magma every day.
Today, when Han Dong came to the Large Cemetery to check on Chen Li’s training status, he came across a familiar face.
Han Dong suddenly felt as if numerous sharp knives were pressed against his neck when they were five meters apart – if he took even one more step, he might be killed.
“Jane, what a coincidence… Congratulations on being selected by the [Black Rose Knight Squad].”
“What are you doing here?”
“I’m here to meet a friend… What about you?”
“My mentor resides at the deepest part of the Large Cemetery.”
“I see…”
The conversation became more awkward since the past incident could not be erased from the memory.
“Speaking of which, Jane, do you have any free time to compare notes?”
As soon as he said this, numerous shadows surged forward.
Jane slightly tilted her head and looked at Han Dong with a gaze that made his skin prick, “Are you looking for death?”
