[Dark Side]
Han Dong was not surprised by this information at all.
Han Dong himself would build underground fortifications in his manor, let alone the Holy City.
From many details, Han Dong could guess the existence of the Dark Side.
After all, in such a world, the Holy City had to ensure absolute stability … Many troublesome things had to be dealt with quickly in secret.
Moreover, the higher-ups were also aware of the existence of spies outside the Holy City.
This required them to jump out into the open and investigate in the dark.
However, Han Dong did not expect this.
In the Dark Side, there was a "school institution" similar to the National Royal Knight Academy … It specialized in cultivating special talents who were active in the dark.
Mr. Black And White's reminder to a certain extent meant that the students below must be unique and not easy to deal with.
"Okay, I'll be careful … Next time, I'll take the opportunity to go underground and take a look when I meet with Commander Malone."
"You have to be careful when you go underground for the first time.
The Dark Side is independent of the Holy City to a certain extent. It is not bound by the laws of the Holy City, nor is it directly controlled by the Supreme Council. The humans living below will not care about your identity.
However, in such an area full of disorder and chaos, there are unexpected opportunities.
Many rare materials that cannot be bought in the Holy City may be sold in the Dark Side … Now that the Dark Side is completely open to the outside world, there will naturally be more opportunities. "
"Okay …"
At this time, Mr. Black And White pushed a cocktail in front of Han Dong. "The election is near. Have you chosen a knight order in your heart?"
Mia answered first, "I'm not sure yet … If any knight wants me, I'm willing to go."
However, the purpose of Mr. Black And White's question was obviously directed at Han Dong.
It was up to Han Dong to answer.
In the great betrayer incident half a year ago, two high-ranking knight orders had already extended an olive branch to Han Dong, especially Malone, who openly wanted to recruit Han Dong into the Hell Knights.
"I'm willing to listen to all your arrangements …"
On this matter, Han Dong did not insist on joining a knight order.
Han Dong was indebted to Mr. Black And White. As long as Mr. Black And White let him stay in the Knights of Plague … no matter what benefits Commander Malone offered, Han Dong would not waver in the slightest.
"I don't have any special plans for you … Just follow your heart and make your choice.
The Hell Knights and the Final Knights were both good choices.
However, there is one thing I need to remind you of.
Before you make a decision, you must understand the characteristics and rules of the Thirteenth Knight Regiment. You must make sure that the internal system of the Thirteenth Knight Regiment is in line with your personality and goals, and whether it will limit your development.
This year's [Knight Election] was definitely the grandest in history, and the 13 Knight Orders would definitely give out more conditions than the previous years.
Fight for the top spot in the election and fight for the biggest opportunity. "
"I will definitely do it."
At this point, Mr. Black And White's summons ended.
Han Dong also felt a bit strange. He thought that Mr. Black And White would ask him to stay in the Knights of Plague … but during the conversation, he did not give any request at all.
After stepping down from the Dark Moon Tower, a trace of curiosity flashed in Han Dong's eyes.
"Mia, since the dark side is completely open to the public, do you want to go take a look together?"
"Sure … As long as I'm with you, I can go anywhere.
However, I've heard from Teacher Witch that the [Dark Side] is much more chaotic than we think. Before we go, we'd better disguise our identities in advance.
Hehe … How about we pretend to be a couple? "
"It's better for you to hide your appearance."
Han Dong's bird's beak costume was used to hide his identity time and time again.
Mia could only pout and cover her body with the cloak, only revealing her purple lips … She silently followed behind Han Dong.
The only entrance to the dark side was the Hades Staircase.
It was not together with the Staircase of the Three Gods. Instead, it was hidden somewhere in the Moslabi River, which was the border between the civilian area and the inner area.
Rumor had it that there was a second city wall hidden in the Moslabi River.
Once the outer city wall was breached, the civilian area would fall.
The second city wall would immediately be raised and the defense line would shrink inward to ensure the safety of the inner area.
After the council decided that the dark side was completely open to the public.
Many River Crossers wearing skull masks and black cloaks appeared in the riverside area … They were responsible for transporting people to the entrance to the dark side.
One had to pay 10 copper coins to cross the river each time they boarded the boat.
This was a large sum of money for the average person.
The purpose of such a high fee was to ensure that the people who went to the dark side had at least a certain amount of spending power.
The wooden boat gradually sank while it was sliding.
The enchantment that came with the hull enveloped the passengers and separated the river from the outside of the enchantment.
"The rumor about the second city wall is true …"
The bottom of the river was an all-metal structure with a large number of steam-driven devices embedded between the walls.
Once activated, the city wall at the bottom of the river would quickly rise.
The entrance to the dark side also existed at the bottom of the river.
Obviously.
The second city wall buried deep at the bottom of the river was also the underground city wall of the 'dark side' to ensure that the underground area was not invaded by foreign objects.
When the body of the River Crossers collided with the sand wall at the bottom of the river, it immediately penetrated the wall due to the compatibility of the enchantment and sailed into a small river in a cave.
Not far away was the end of the small river and a staircase leading down.
It was one of the parts of the Hades Staircase that led to the secret dark side area.
"This …"
They went down the stairs and officially entered the dark side.
When the magnificent underground city was completely revealed, Han Dong and Mia were both stunned at the same time.
The 'second city wall' at the bottom of the Moslabi River in the inner city was a copper wall that surrounded the underground city.
The total height of the underground space reached 300 meters.
It built a city similar to the city of the dead described in Homer's epic poem.
On every street in the city, there was a special building [Pillar Building] – a cylindrical tower-like building with more beam pillars or pointed ribs.
The Pillar Building was far higher than other buildings in the underground area. As the tallest building in the underground city, it was directly connected to the ground.
It served as a bird's eye view point for the knights to observe and investigate the overall situation of the underground area. It also served as a support pillar to ensure that the Holy City at the top would not collapse downward when it suffered a strong impact.
Such [Pillar Building] was evenly distributed and there were nearly a thousand of them.
The number of other buildings in the dark side city did not exceed three floors. After all, there were not many humans living below, and low-level buildings were also convenient for management.
Because the dark side was open to the outside world.
On the streets paved with cold black stones, there were a large number of outsiders wearing cloaks and face scarves or masks to cover their faces. The underground city, which was originally slightly silent, became lively.
Because it was not restricted by the rules of the Holy City, many special items would be sold here.
"Dear, shall we go there and take a look? The election is coming. Maybe we can buy some powerful items down here. "
Mia stared at the shop at the end of the street named [Market Entrance – 7].
