My Cell Prison-Chapter 457 - : Meeting at Night
Chapter 457: Chapter 457: Meeting at Night
Han Dong was well aware that the ‘friends’ Dumps was referring to were those outside the city.
Han Dong asked, somewhat perplexed, “The purpose of sending the invitations is simply to have various kinds of life gather at the manor and drink the ‘Blood Brew’, indirectly aligning it with other powers and making them part of the Scarlet Manor.
But how did this invitation reach the Holy City?”
Mia suddenly thought of something and immediately chimed in:
“Yes! The witch mentioned something to me a while ago. The entire knight squad disappeared when they went outside the city for an investigation.
Their intended destination seems to be the Adlaga Mountains you guys speak of.”
This piece of information provided by Mia was very important.
“The Blood Brew can grant powerful abilities to any life form, and humans are no exception.
If the missing knight squad has something to do with the ‘Scarlet Manor’, then some knights may have been forcibly infused with blood, causing extraordinary changes… Hence, these madmen thought of sending invitations to the Holy City, hoping that human knights would participate in the ‘Red Banquet’.
Of course, the Scarlet invasion certainly has something to do with the ‘insider’ within the Holy City.”
Dumps pointed to the invitation, “What about this? How do you plan to deal with it?”
Han Dong intertwined his hands and rested his chin on them, “Let’s see… I estimate that many would have received such an invitation.
Based on the current situation, killing the ‘minion’ may result in an invitation drop.
These minions hide in secluded places within the plague zone and are quite powerful.
Only knights who meet the standards in both investigative abilities and power could potentially kill these minions and obtain an invitation.
Could it be a kind of selection mechanism premeditated by Scarlet Manor? Only those who pass the test can obtain an invitation?
Considering this, there will definitely be a group of knights who receive the invitation too.
By the time the event ends, the Knight Regiment might stir up some movement… we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it.”
Through Han Dong’s words and actions, Dumps seemed to deduce something.
“Deputy Captain, you’re not really considering going to the ‘Scarlet Manor’, are you?”
Han Dong nodded without denial, “Indeed, I am rather interested in the ‘Blood Brew’.
Moreover, we have accepted Mr. Black White’s commission and will inevitably visit the Adlaga Mountains once… As expected, Mr. Black White will seek us out once the plague incident in the city is resolved.”
“Right…
Dumps had been fully prepared for months and was ready to leave the city at any time.
Mia looked astounded: “What? Mr. Black White asked you to go to the ‘Scarlet Manor’?”
“Pretty much… What about you, Mia?”
Mia looked embarrassed, she yearned to be with Han Dong deep down but was reluctant to take the risk.
“You know, these Scarlet beings have a high resistance to curses, and I might be a bit powerless against them… Furthermore, I am still preparing for the Fate Space, unlike you guys who have already started thinking about Breaking the Breed.”
“Well, we can’t let today’s event leak out…”
“I definitely understand, it’s just…”
Suddenly, Mia moved closer to Han Dong,”The scale of the ‘Scarlet Manor’ is bound to be much larger than that of the ‘Stuart Manor’, so the corresponding land deed should also be higher grades… You guys have to be careful, even Nicholas might not survive.
It would be best if you could go with the Knight Regiment.
You are not allowed to die, I would be truly lonely.”
“If you’re willing to go, the chances of my death would be minimized.”
“Stop it, I have my own matters… otherwise, I would definitely go. Ha ha, okay! I suddenly remembered I need to go see the witch, I will be heading to the Fate Space in a few days, bye.”
If everyone had reached the level of a formal knight, Mia might have agreed.
At her current stage, she was absolutely unwilling to go to the ‘Scarlet Manor’. To alleviate the awkwardness, she had to find an excuse to leave.
“Dumps, are you ready?”
“Yeah, we’re just waiting for Mr. Black White to summon us.”
Just as Han Dong anticipated.
Once the ‘Red Plague’ incident that took place in the civilian district was dealt with.
Upon the completion of related rewards distribution, Han Dong received a summons from Mr. Black White, requesting the three talented youngsters to gather in the Stargazing Room.
…….
“What? The Knight Regiment isn’t preparing for a mission?”
Han Dong initially thought that since the Scarlet life had made such a big mess in the Holy City, the council would definitely decide to have the Knight Regiment eradicate the ‘Scarlet Manor’.
“Dispatching the knights isn’t as simple as you think. And besides, the ‘Big Expedition’ is around the corner, it’s definitely not a time to casually expend military power.
The other vital reason is that the ‘Scarlet Manor’ is under the protection of a former king.
Due to the former king incident that occurred at the Stuart Manor a year ago, the Holy City is being very cautious about the regions corresponding to the ‘land deeds’.”
Han Dong nodded, “Surely, they haven’t discovered who led the Scarlet life into the city?”
“If it were that simple, I wouldn’t have to go through so much trouble to deal with this rebel… Moreover, the council is still investigating this insider and has temporarily restricted entry and exit at the city gates.”
“Restricting exit? Should we still continue with our plan?”
“Of course… It just means that we can’t apply for a temporary exit pass.
Even Captain Kaimon wouldn’t be able to dispatch the Behemoth Knight Group to escort Abe to his destination.”
“So how would we exit the city?”
If only Han Dong and the two other apprentice knights were to exit the city and head to a dangerous area one hundred kilometers away on their own, it would surely be a suicidal action.
“I’ve already spoken with Captain Kaimon and Vice Principal Hera.”.
You will blend in with a special knight team tonight and secretly head towards the Adlaga Mountains to assist Abe in ‘Breaking the Breed’.
At the same time, try to provoke the city’s insider to make a move and gather evidence.”
“Tonight! What knight team?”
“You will know when the time comes… This team had decided to carry out an investigation mission outside the city a week ago and is not affected by the restrictions imposed by the council.
In three hours, you will meet them at the ‘Grind Bar’ in front of the north city gate and head to the destination together.”
Obviously, Mr. Black White had arranged everything well in advance.
“Alright!”
Everyone has been preparing for nearly half a year, there’s nothing to hesitate about.
Of the three, the most significant change was invariably in Abe.
Nearly a year of hellish training had drastically altered Abe’s overall temperament.
Apart from becoming more robust and wild, his eyes showed an unconventional firmness… A special ‘Beast Seal’ ring adorned Abe’s finger.
At nine o’clock in the evening.
Han Dong and his party met up with the mysterious knight squad at Mr. Black White’s prearranged location.
The moment they opened the private room door, Han Dong was stunned.
Old enemies meet on a narrow path.
Lucius… long time no see.”
The one in charge of leading this special mission was none other than this year’s second-most favored candidate by the “Scarlet Knights”, the Blood Knight – Lucius Tosser, and his comrades.
