It had been half a year since the Great Betrayer Incident.
Led by the president of the Writers' Association, Stephen McNofsky, a total of 1,087 people were involved in the incident.
About 50% of the writers in the Writers' Association alone had a private connection with Stephen, and all of them were involved in the plan to harm the Holy City.
The big purge this time could be said to have caused great damage to the Holy City.
Of course, it also allowed the Holy City to escape from a great crisis. Otherwise, once the rebellion was caused by the president of the Writers' Association, the inner area would be disintegrated from the root.
By then, the knights who were on an expedition could only watch the Holy City fall.
During President Stephen's reign, he had seen through and made use of almost all the loopholes existing in the Holy City.
From another perspective, it was also thanks to President Stephen … Now, as long as these loopholes were filled in one by one, the safety of the Holy City would be maximized.
The Supreme Council also specially awarded the highest honor medal to [Mr Black And White].
At the same time, they also gave Mr Black And White more authority related to the dark side of the Holy City, including direct supervision of the Writers' Association and control of the inner city's law enforcement team under special circumstances.
It was also because of the great damage.
The originally scheduled [Great Expedition] would be slightly delayed, but the total duration would not exceed two years.
…
Outside the city.
At a certain border area of the Gein Forest.
As usual, a carriage with a crow logo on the carriage drove here.
Demps, who was wearing a monocle, would get off here …
However, the situation was slightly different this time. The interior of the carriage was more lively than before. The three of them got off together.
Demps, Han Dong, and Mia, who had followed them out of the city due to special circumstances.
Half a year passed.
Han Dong, who had completed the [Seed Breaking], thought that his body would become stronger due to the formation of the talent tree, but in fact, he still looked 'weak and sickly', and even his skin was paler than before.
Of course.
This was just a physical appearance given by 'death'.
Han Dong's real physical condition was still very good.
As for the [Maniacal Laughter] attribute, Han Dong had gradually restrained it in the past six months, except for when he would laugh maniacally under special circumstances.
Under normal circumstances, Han Dong would only reveal a very friendly smile.
As for why Mia followed them out of the city, it was naturally because she was in her fourth year of university, and Mia hadn't found a suitable seed breeding target. In a conversation, she heard from Demps that there was an area called [Insect Valley], so she wanted to follow them out of the city.
Of course.
Demps went out of the city this time to break the seed.
In terms of taste, Demps was much more picky than Han Dong.
In the battle of Scarlet Mountain Villa, there were six Baron Hybrid Demons, three Praetorian Army Hybrid Demons, and three pet Hybrid Demons. There was also a mature Hybrid like the butler. None of them caught Demps' attention.
[Absolute Compatibility]. This was Demps's request.
Years ago, Demps's' mother 'had been searching for a target for him.
Now, the target had been determined, but … Demps alone seemed to be a little difficult to deal with. He needed Han Dong's special assistance.
In front of the cliff.
"I have already told my 'mother' about your arrival. Don't be nervous … Nicholas, I'm a little embarrassed to have you accompany me to break the seed."
"To be able to offset 10,000 copper coins at once, I really hope you can break the seed a few more times."
"It's just money. The goods provided in the Holy City are limited. Materials with quality higher than 'Unique' are already priceless, let alone spending money to buy things that are suitable for you."
"Haha, I don't spend money to buy high-quality equipment."
Currently, Han Dong, who owned two manors, needed a lot of financial support. After experiencing the first Land Deed War, Han Dong felt the power of 'technology.'
The lowest level of ghouls could suppress the powerful blood descendants produced by blood wine through technological transformation.
For this reason, Han Dong decided to continue to develop technology in the manor and let the mad scientist, [Dr. Swollen], be in charge.
"Don't worry. As long as this seed can be broken, I'll lend you another 10,000 copper coins … Let's go! Mother has been waiting for a long time. "
Demps stepped into the mobile wooden house embedded in the cliff first.
Standing outside and staring at the open black door of the wooden house, there was an inexplicable sense of danger in his heart.
Mia's spider sense also made her hair stand on end. She held Han Dong tightly … She even grew four spider legs and put them on Han Dong's body to some extent.
Han Dong also asked about Demps' mother in advance.
But Demps' answer was:
"'Mother' is just her name. We are not related by blood … As for the information of 'Mother', it is absolutely forbidden to disclose it to the public.
Please rest assured, Nicholas. As long as they are my friends, 'Mother' will never hurt them. "
…
Warm flames were burning in the stone fireplace.
The spacious rectangular hall was wider than it looked from the outside.
There were a lot of abstract paintings hanging on the wall. Through exaggerated distorted heads and psychedelic colors, they were used to express' spiritual release '… If one stared at the paintings for a long time, they would even find that the paint would slowly flow.
This room seemed to be an 'interactive room'.
In addition to the wooden door that Han Dong and the others came in, there were eighteen doors in the rectangular hall. No one knew where they led to … It was far more than the size of the wooden house should be.
On the long wooden table in the center, there was a lot of rotten food.
'Mother' was sitting in the master's seat.
There was a tall and thin woman with four arms, wearing a white dress. Her four arms covered her left ear, right ear, eyes, and mouth respectively … Although she was sitting in her seat, only one of her toes touched the ground.
Based on the current situation.
'Mother' seemed to have deliberately prepared a sumptuous banquet to welcome the guests.
At this time, the wooden house had started to move with the long legs at the bottom, away from the Gayne Forest … It was Han Dong's first time away from the Sacred City.
'Mother' suddenly stood up. Her two-meter-tall body approached Han Dong's side.
At the same time, she turned her palms over her ears.
There was a 'cochlea' structure in her palms. Through listening, she could distinguish whether it was harmful to the wooden house.
Then, she leaned the cochlea to Mia for inspection.
After confirming that there was no mistake, she floated back to her original position with one of her toes touching the ground.
She turned her hands back to cover her ears again. At the same time, she turned her hands over her mouth and spoke in a language that only Han Dong and the others could understand.
"Messenger, I will lead you to a special room later to check if you can help Demps.
If you can really help, I am willing to give you an equal reward after the event. "
"No problem."
Although Han Dong's expression was calm, his back was covered in cold sweat …
The moment he stepped into the wooden house, his magic eye was sealed. He couldn't observe any more information at all.
From Han Dong's subjective experience, 'Mother' might be at the level of the old king.
Even if she wasn't, she was at the same level as the thing hidden in the body of the Writers' Association's president.
