Chapter 514: Chapter 514: Half a Year
Half a year has passed since the “Big Traitor Incident”.
Headed by the chairman of the Writer’s Association, Stephen Maknovsky, a total of 1087 suspects were involved.
About half of the writers at the headquarters of the Writer’s Association had a private connection with Stephen, all involving plans to undermine the Holy City’s foundation.
This great cleanup was a heavy blow to the Holy City.
Nevertheless, it helped the Holy City escape from a massive crisis. Otherwise, the rebellion initiated by the chairman of the Writer’s Association from within would cause the inner city to disintegrate from the roots.
At that time, the Knight Regiment on Expedition could nothing but watch the Holy City fall.
During his tenure as chairman, Stephen almost understood and utilized all the current loopholes in the Holy City.
From another perspective, thanks to Chairman Stephen. Nowadays, these loopholes only need to be filled, one by one, to maximize the safety of the Holy City.
The Supreme Council also specially issued the highest honor medal to “Mr. Black White”.
They also granted “Mr. Black White” more authority pertaining to the dark side of the Holy City, including the direct supervision of the Writer’s Association and the control of the inner city enforcement team under special circumstances.
Because of the heavy damage.
The initially scheduled “Big Expedition” will be slightly postponed, but the total time will not exceed two years.
…
Outside the city.
A peripheral area of Gain Forest.
According to the convention, a carriage with a crow symbol printed on it drove here.
Dumps, wearing a single copper mirror, would get off here…
But the situation this time is slightly different. The interior of the carriage is more lively than before, and three people get off together.
Dumps, Han Dong, and Mia, who left the city due to special circumstances.
Half a year has passed.
Han Dong, who has completed the “Breaking Seed”, thought she would become more robust due to the formation of the Talent Tree, but she still looks ‘weak and sick’, and even paler than before.
Of course.
This image is nothing more than a physical appearance given by “Death”.
Han Dong’s actual physical condition is still very good.
As for the “Laughing Madness” attribute, Han Dong has gradually restrained it over the half-year. Except in special situations, he would burst into manic laughter.
Usually, Han Dong would only show a very friendly smile.
As for Mia traveling with them, naturally, it was because her four-year limit was approaching, and Mia hadn’t found the right Breaking Seed target. After accidentally hearing about a place called “Insect Valley” from Dumps in conversation, she wanted to accompany them out of town to see.
Furthermore.
The purpose of this trip for Dumps is also Breaking Seed.
In terms of ‘taste’, Dumps is much pickier than Han Dong.
Even the battle in Scarlet Manor, against six Baron Demon, three Guard Army Demons, three Pet Demons, and a mature Butler, did not appeal to Dumps.
“Absolute Compatibility” is Dumps’s requirement.
Years ago, Dumps’s ‘mother’ has already begun looking for his target.
Now, the target has been determined, but… it seems a bit difficult for Dumps alone to handle, so he needs special assistance from Han Dong.
In front of a mountain cliff.
“I’ve already told my ‘mother’ about your arrival, so don’t be nervous… It’s really a bit embarrassing to have you accompany me, Nicholas, for Breaking Seed.”
“I really wish you could break seed a few more times to offset the ten thousand copper coins at once.”
“It’s just money, the goods provided in the Holy City are limited, materials above the ‘Unique’ quality are already priceless, not to mention wanting to buy something suitable for oneself with money.”
“Haha, I don’t spend money on high-quality equipment.”
Currently, Han Dong, who owns two manor houses, needs a lot of money to sustain them… After experiencing his first Land Deed War, Han Dong felt the power of ‘technology’.
Even the lowest rank of ghouls, by technological modification, can overpower a mighty Blood Descendant produced from a Blood Brew.
For this reason, Han Dong decided to continue developing technology within the manor, with the scientific madman Swollen Doctor fully in charge.
“Don’t worry, as long as this Breaking Seed works out this time, I’ll lend you another ten thousand copper coins… Let’s go! Mother has been waiting for a long time.”
Dumps first stepped into the mobile wooden cabin embedded between the cliffs.
While staring at the open Black Door of the cabin from the outside, an inexplicable sense of danger crept into my heart.
Mia’s Spider Sense also made her hair stand on end, tightly clutching Han Dong… Even sprouting four spider legs, all of which were to some extent on Han Dong’s body.
As for information about Dumps’ ‘mother’, Han Dong had asked in advance.
However, Dumps’ answer was:
“‘Mother’ is just her name, there is no blood relation between us… The information about ‘mother’ is strictly forbidden to be revealed to the outside world.
Rest assured Nicholas, as my friend, ‘mother’ would never harm you.”
…
In the stone fire-place, a warm flame was burning.
The spacious rectangular hall is larger in area than it appears from the outside.
Many abstract paintings hung on the walls, expressing ‘spiritual liberation’ through exaggerated twisted skulls and psychedelic color schemes… Upon long observation of the painting, one would find the paint slowly flowing.
This room seems to be an ‘interaction room’.
Apart from the wooden door through which Han Dong and his party came in, the rectangular hall is aligned with eighteen doors, leading to unknown areas… greatly exceeding the area of the cabin.
On the long wooden table in the center, a large amount of decaying food was spread out.
In the host’s seat, ‘Mother’ was sitting.
A tall, thin woman in a white dress with four arms, each covering her left and right ears, eyes and mouth… Although sitting down, she was only touching the ground with a single toe.
From the current situation.
It seemed that ‘Mother’ had deliberately prepared a sumptuous banquet to welcome her guests.
At this time, the cabin began to move away from Gaine Forest on its long legs… it was Han Dong’s first time leaving the Holy City.
‘Mother’ suddenly stood up, her body over two meters tall, and moved close to Han Dong’s side.
At the same time, she rotated the palms covering her ears.
The palms had ‘cochlear’ structures, identifying potential harm to the cabin by listening.
She then repeated the procedure with Mia.
After ensuring everything was in order, she returned to her seat in a floating state, touching only one toe on the ground.
She put her hands back on her ears, and at the same time opened the hand that had been covering her mouth, saying in a language only Han Dong and others could understand:
“Messenger, soon I will lead you to a special room to test if you can assist Dumps.
If you can, I am willing to give you a corresponding reward after the event.”
“No problem.”
Although Han Dong’s expression was calm, a little cold sweat had already seeped down his back…
As soon as he stepped into the wooden house, his Demon Eye was sealed and he could not observe any more information.
From Han Dong’s subjective feeling, this ‘Mother’ could be an Old King Level entity.
Even if not, it would be on par with what was hidden inside the president of the Writer’s Association.
