Boom!
The steamboat basically crashed into the port.
The powerful existence encountered in the first level of the dreamscape, the mature Hybrid Demon, Count Denox Wright.
In reality, he was just an old guy lying in the mansion on the verge of death.
He was a "Crab-Type Deep One" who retired from the deep sea due to irreparable injuries. He could only return to his peak state when he was young through dreams.
However, the dreams of the port residents were different from the dreams of Han Dong and the others.
Han Dong was on the surface. He chose to go out to sea by boat and arrived at the eye of the conch array that covered ten kilometers.
It was precisely because the [Door] was here.
Through the eye of the array, even if he died in the dream, his consciousness could be smoothly extracted and smoothly returned to reality through the [Door].
The townspeople in the port city were different. Once they were forced to leave the dream due to the broken breathing apparatus, their consciousness would be in a chaotic state.
When they returned to reality, they would have all kinds of sequelae.
Of course, there was also a special case. It was Lord Solam who was found by Han Dong.
Because of Nicole's evolution.
Han Dong used the void level technique to achieve the effect of crossing the dream. In one fell swoop, he fed the consciousness in the dream and the body in reality to Nicole.
This Lord Solam was a deformed child born by Count Wright and his wife due to his own injuries.
In summary.
The port that Han Dong asked the "old king" in the deep sea for a non-title deed was said to be a retirement home. He should be the most unimpressive one among the Deep Sea Messengers.
The dying or seriously injured Hybrid Demons would retire here in the future. They would find their confidence in the dream and spend the rest of their lives. Among them, the most impressive one was Count Denox Wright, the only mature Hybrid Demon.
However, due to old age and serious injuries, his combat power was not even comparable to a newborn Hybrid Demon.
The other components of the port city were native humans.
They could not be classified as "heretics" because they did not perform any sacrificial activities at all, nor did they degenerate at the level of thinking. They relied on the conch to still maintain their [Humanity].
However, their bodies were accumulating contaminants. If they didn't wear the conch to sleep one day, it would cause the accumulated contaminants in their bodies to erupt … Thus, the ultra-fast distortion that Han Dong witnessed on the deck would occur.
Here they are referred to as "fishermen" or "fish-people".
However, in Han Dong's eyes, this port city, which did not even deserve a title deed, was a treasure trove.
The Deep Ones were directly related to the sea and the old king. Conducting 'legal' research on the purebred Deep Ones was strictly forbidden … even if Han Dong was a high-ranking envoy.
However, for the abandoned old people's home in the port town, to a certain extent, it was an abandoned old people's home.
Han Dong would no longer be restricted from carrying out some 'tragic' lab rat experiments.
…
After returning to the port.
According to the deciphering method that Han Dong obtained from the "deep dream", he successfully returned to the carriage stop in Gein Forest.
(Of course, it was made up. In fact, Han Dong, as the manager of this place, temporarily opened the coverage of the "Conch Dream Array" on the port town to connect the road back to Gein Forest.)
However.
All the knights at present had different changes in their mental states.
Although this investigation was completed successfully, there was something wrong, but they couldn't pinpoint it.
Only Demps's face flashed a smile.
"Nicholas, what's the situation in the deep dream?" Captain Diaz asked.
Ahem … Han Dong cleared his throat. Using his personal experience and his ability to make up stories, he described a small town at the bottom of the sea, and the thrilling process of how he himself stole the town's secret from the depths of Count's mansion.
There were no loopholes in the story, but something felt wrong.
However, considering the safe return of everyone, Diaz didn't delve into it for the time being.
The most important thing now was to establish direct contact with the Holy City and report the existing information to the Knight's headquarters to see if there was a need to 'purge' the port town.
However, when Han Dong told the Knight's headquarters about his experience in the dream during this period, he immediately received a [Return to the City] instruction.
At that time, there would be a face-to-face meeting with the mission examiner from the Knight's headquarters, and there was no need to investigate or purge the port area in other aspects.
It seemed that the Holy City didn't want to have too much contact with matters involving the "deep sea" for the time being.
The upcoming expedition would mainly focus on the "land".
That was it.
The three teams immediately returned to the city. Because of the flow of time between dreams.
The overall investigation mission only took a day.
Ti-ta！ Ti-ta！
The iron hooves stepped in the forest, and the three carriages sped back to the city.
In the carriage of the "Silver Edge".
Captain Diaz frowned and pondered.
Although in the first layer of the dream, they were besieged by the entire town, and the situation was extremely dangerous. There was even some pollution and pressure accumulated in their bodies.
In addition to the complicated decryption of the multiple dreams, the overall difficulty was indeed worthy of the "Investigation Mission.Far".
But overall, there was an unusually smooth feeling, and this "smooth" was inseparable from the newcomer he looked down on at the beginning.
"Nicholas … this person must have done something else in secret."
[Knight's Headquarters]
After a one-on-one review by the mission examiner, it was confirmed that [Investigation Mission.Far: The Sound of Uneasiness in the Port] had met the completion requirements.
According to the examiner, since it had been thoroughly determined that the life in the port was living in the dream in a "neutral" form, there was no need to purge.
The goal of the expedition was not the deep sea, and there was no need to provoke the deep sea.
The corresponding reward and the "Eve of the Expedition" points (20 points) were immediately issued to everyone.
As for the "Raven Whisper" team that Han Dong and his team had just created, they were directly promoted from the lowest [Iron] level to [Silver] level, and they had more mission options.
In the remaining two months, it was not too much of a problem for the entire team to reach the passing line of 60 expedition points.
"We only spent a day on this investigation mission … Why don't we take another investigation mission while everyone is still in good spirits?"
Mia, who had the least points, suddenly suggested.
Han Dong did not care. He was still in good spirits.
The "Silver Edge" and the "Bright Red Oath" teams also agreed. Among them, Captain Diaz also wanted to continue to cooperate with Han Dong. He wanted to find out the details of this young knight through some direct combat missions.
Just when everyone reached an agreement and was ready to check the investigation missions that could be carried out by the three teams.
A long-haired woman without any signs of life had appeared behind Han Dong without anyone noticing.
The hair-raising sense of danger also gave everyone a fright.
If this was outside the city, everyone would have taken action at the first moment.
But this was the safest Knight's Headquarters. Naturally, it was impossible for any Fiend to appear here.
They turned their heads and looked carefully.
They found obvious suture lines and some non-cortical structures on the long-haired woman's skin. It turned out to be a perfect suture puppet.
Captain Diaz, who was more experienced, immediately recognized the puppet's corresponding controller based on the suture style and aura. "This is … the Puppet User, Charlie."
The female puppet's mouth opened and closed, making a mechanical voice. "Warren Nicholas … Captain Hugo is looking for you! It involves some important matters. Come back with me. "
"Okay!"
Charlie Leblanc Bermanchev.
The man who had shown his face at the Knight Conference, the first person in the Knight Conference ten years ago, the chief of the [Puppet Guards], and currently belonged to the Secret Words Knights.
Like Han Dong, he graduated from the Mystery Branch and was also an anomaly among geniuses.
