As early as when Han Dong was looking at the memory of the [Promotion Competition].
Marittis identified the identity of the "Fifth Squad" … They belonged to the Hybrid Demons formed by the associated darkness – [Dark Dwellers], and they believed in the old king – "Chaos Walker".
According to Marittis.
The "Chaos Walker" they believed in was the gray existence that stopped time when Han Dong attacked Perugia City and met with Han Dong alone.
In addition, Han Dong was also suspicious.
Since these Dark Dwellers were born in the darkness, they may also be related to the ultimate goal of the Holy City Expedition (As mentioned before, the old king's tablet deciphered by the Secret Whisper Knights recorded a dark existence).
Contacting such a Hybrid Demon squad was of great significance, second only to the node war.
Therefore.
Han Dong asked Marittis to find the traces of the "Fifth Squad". Once found, Han Dong wanted to have a good talk with these guys.
Since they were Hybrid Demons that could go to the destiny space, they must have a certain "human attribute", so it would be easier to negotiate with them than those purebred Hybrid Demons.
…
In the civilian area, in a gloomy room that was invaded by darkness.
The Dark Dwellers who temporarily lived here (all mature Hybrid Demons) were waiting to negotiate with Han Dong.
They wanted to get as much benefits as possible to get close to the "Gate of Truth".
They were all covered in black cloaks, and the surface of their skin exuded a black light. Their shadows and bodies would have asymmetrical tentacles.
The four members were gathered in the hall.
Some were lying on the wall like a lizard, revealing a black light tail.
Some were half of their bodies merged into the darkness, and only the upper body was exposed to the ceiling.
There were also two who were playing an advanced version of the flower rope game using thin threads woven by the darkness.
Han Dong had already drafted the script for negotiation. He came here by teleportation and was about to negotiate with this group of mature Hybrid Demons comparable to Count.
When this group of Dark Dwellers observed Han Dong's appearance, they were suddenly stunned!
This image seemed to be a perfect match with a certain supreme existence in their memory … A sense of reverence from the depths of their hearts filled their bodies.
They knelt in front of Han Dong in the most respectful posture of the Dark Race.
The head was completely buried in the darkness, and the spine on the back was raised high in an arc.
Their voices echoed in the building through the darkness.
"Your Majesty …"
"Huh?" Han Dong, who was preparing to negotiate with the Hybrid Demons according to the script, was stunned.
Although it might be related to the gray [Old King], it shouldn't have turned into such an exaggerated situation.
Marittis, who was standing beside him, was also shocked when she saw this scene. Then, she fell into deep thought.
When she first saw Han Dong, she felt very strange. She did not understand why Han Dong was emitting grey matter similar to the Chaos Walker, but was also recognized by the other two former kings.
In the subsequent contact, Marittis also became interested in the opposite sex for the first time.
In the entire Toad City, she couldn't find a male as interesting as Han Dong.
Furthermore, Marittis was certain that Han Dong was a unique existence. He could not be classified as a Hybrid Demon, nor could he be classified as a human.
…
Just as Han Dong was a little stunned and didn't know how to deal with the current situation.
One of the Dark Race residents slowly raised his head and stared at Han Dong for a long time with a face full of doubts.
"No … Our Majesty stands at the highest point of the universe, but he can't interfere with the destiny space.
You are not the King.
But the structure of your brain is almost the same, and at the same time, you emit the [Grey Matter] that only the King and his direct descendants can release.
Are you the incarnation of the King? Or the Chaos Kin? "
Hearing the question of the Dark Race residents, Han Dong recalled the conversation with the Grey Matter King in Perugia City.
"I don't know which master copied the [Head] … It looks flawed, but it's actually so perfect."
From the above conversation, Han Dong could be sure of one thing.
The Dark Race residents should have never seen the true appearance of the Grey Matter King.
Firstly, it was because the [Old King] with a high position rarely appeared.
Secondly, this group of people treated Han Dong as the 'King'. If they had seen the real King, they would definitely be able to tell the difference.
"They should have used other methods to understand the King's appearance and feel the King's aura.
For example, the stone slab, the Virtual Image of the Dream, or the description of the King from a certain Atavistic Body or a Mythical Body … My image and aura were exactly the same as the King they knew indirectly, which was why they were mistaken.
Most likely, that was the case.
After all, even Lord Perugia, who had an Atavistic Body, was unable to see the Old King before his death.
In that case, is my head really a copy of the Grey Matter King?
No wonder my tentacles are also gray, but there are some 'blemishes' on the surface of the tentacles.
But according to the Old King's evaluation, these blemishes are another kind of perfection.
I don't know what kind of 'master' could replicate such a perfect head using the Old King as a template, and even be praised by the person involved.
There's still a long way to go. "
Thinking of this, Han Dong secretly smiled.
In this way, the originally difficult negotiation became simple.
With the information in his hands, Han Dong began to show his traditional skills and began to bluff to his heart's content.
"How did I come? Where did I come from? Actually, even I don't know … The only memory I have is of an abyss prison full of chaos.
Since I was born, I have traveled the European continent.
Recently, I just passed by Perugia, and I really didn't like the rats there … Later, I met Lord Marittis in the wetlands.
Coincidentally, I accepted the invitation of the [Bufo], and Lord Marittis and I participated in this fateful event together.
After it was done, the Bufo promised to give me the opportunity to observe the wall. "
"The Bufo's invitation?! The opportunity to observe the wall?! "
For these mature Mantis Demons, this was an opportunity that they could only dream of. If they could peek into the toad wall, even if it was a wall left by a mythical body, it would allow them to get closer and even reach out to touch the Door of Truth.
Han Dong found the opportunity and began to ask about the origin of this group of dark inhabitants.
"Which teleportation gate did you come in from?
Did you come here voluntarily? Or were you entrusted by the Lord to come here? "
"Sir, we are the dark inhabitants living in the [City of London] … We were entrusted by [Mother – N.G.] to come here through the 'Door of Darkness' in the City of London.
We tried to obtain precious materials that don't exist in the real world from the destiny space, especially materials related to darkness.
It can help us reach the atavism stage faster, and it can also improve our status in the City of London. "
When he heard this, Han Dong was shocked.
The City of London, wasn't this the final destination of the Holy City Expedition?
The [Mother] mentioned by these guys was likely to be the ultimate goal of the expeditionary force, the [Lower Old King] related to darkness.
However, what made Han Dong quite puzzled was … Why did this group of dark inhabitants believe in the two old kings?
Or because the [Lower Old King] and the [Upper Old King] were not at the same level.
The darkness in the City of London, including the [Lower Old King] who ruled the city-state, were all under the control of the [Gray Old King].
Han Dong was shocked in his heart, but he was extraordinarily calm on the surface. He planned to ask Marittis privately.
"Continue to talk about your experience in God's Capital."
Han Dong smiled and gestured for this group of dark inhabitants to continue.
"The destiny space repels us, and we also know that it is extremely dangerous here.
Therefore, we deliberately hide in the darkness to avoid conflict.
At first, we just wanted to leave quickly after clearing the level … Who knew that a war would suddenly break out, so we wanted to take the opportunity to get something before leaving.
Since the war was caused by you, sir, we are willing to provide assistance! We only hope that you can keep us safe. "
Han Dong smiled with satisfaction.
"Well … Don't worry, I will ensure your safety.
As long as you do well, I will even give you some darkness-related treasures in God's Capital.
Or you can bring a meeting gift for the manager of the City of London, your [Mother].
Also.
I am also very interested in the [City of London]. After I complete the Bufo's commission, I will try to visit the City of London next. "
"Looking forward to your visit, my [Mother] will be very happy."
