My Cell Prison-Chapter 469 - : Unifying Opinions
Chapter 469: Chapter 469: Unifying Opinions
The entire mansion, with identical corridor styles and designs, was full of crossroads.
Moreover, none of the rooms marked with any symbols or door numbers, making it effortless to go off the path.
A beautiful woman in a red robe was responsible for arranging rooms for Han Dong and his group.
Her graceful demeanor perfectly matched the grand mansion.
Since the Count himself disliked brightness, the mansion was void of any illuminating decorations.
Considering Han Dong and his friends were humans, the woman carried an old kerosene lamp in her hand.
“Lord, and your friends, this section here is the VIP rest area.
The Count tends not to welcome many people staying in one room, even if they’re in a relationship, hopes you all follow this rule.
During your stay, I will be responsible for your overall care, at your disposal whenever needed…
You just need to call out my name – Julia.” She said
Six iron keys with a manic laughter mark at the end were handed over to Han Dong.
Her soft fingers deliberately stroked Han Dong’s palm. At the same time, she cast a bewitching glance.
Subsequently, the maid put out the kerosene lamp in her hand, the dark red light melted into the dark corridor.
With this, the rest of the time was completely given to Han Dong and his group.
The atmosphere was slightly awkward for a moment.
“Let’s discuss in the room first…” Han Dong unlocked one of the VIP rooms with a key.
The fireplace in the room had already been lit.
The floor was covered with a plush and comfortable carpet. The room didn’t have too much ‘bloody’ decoration, it was no different from a human aristocrat’s residence.
“Everyone, since we have come this far, we’ll attend the “Red banquet” as the Count’s arrangement stipulates.
Even though this invitation was issued by the Count, in reality, it came from a higher existence.
The ‘Old King’s Seal’ is hidden inside the letter, combined with my special identity as the Lord, we participate in this feast with the status of ‘VIP guests’, the Count would never attack us.
We’re safe as long as we don’t violate any rules before and after the feast.
Furthermore, this ‘Red banquet’, which is held once every few years could potentially give Captain Lucius an even higher-quality “Blood Brew” to bring back to the Holy City.
In addition, going deep into Scarlet Manor directly might yield more investigative information…”
“Alright.”
Lucius neither felt irritated for being deceived, nor showed any emotional changes due to the sudden turn of events. Instead, he adopted an attitude of letting things be.
“Nicholas, you hid everything well.
I did have my suspicions but couldn’t verify them… I didn’t expect you to have such close ties with the outsiders.”
“Brothers, please have a look at this…”
As he said it, Han Dong handed a pre-prepared note to Lucius in secret, asking him to pass it to Jane and Lenze. The note detailed a special plan, a particular request from Mr. Black White.
“This is the main reason why I chose to go deep into the mansion and participate in the feast… This matter is related to the safety of the Holy City itself.
If we accomplish it, as seniors, you will be greatly rewarded by the Holy City, and will surely occupy a prominent position within the Knight Regiment.”
Lucius, after reading the note, looked somber.
“Such a matter… Mr. Black White actually entrusted you with this?”
“It’s not completely up to me, don’t I still have companions? Ha ha… Moreover, Mr. Black White specifically arranged for Lucius’ team to escort us. He probably wants Captain Lucius and you guys to also participate in the plan.
Indeed, the difficulty is immense, but it also offers a great opportunity to weed out the ‘insider’.”
“Fine… We still have three days before the Red banquet, which should be enough for us to get familiar with Scarlet Manor and figure out its internal structure.
Besides, please try to avoid using this kind of leading deception on us in the future… Although your motives were justified, it made us quite uncomfortable.”
Han Dong scratched his head awkwardly, “If I directly say ‘planning to infiltrate Scarlet Manor’, obviously you wouldn’t have agreed… Okay, I would avoid such things as much as possible in the future.
Thank you all for your understanding.
It’s getting late, everyone should return to their rooms and rest.”
They returned to their rooms after confirming there were no dangers.
They had been on the road from the Holy City, added with falling into the valley, encountering with natives, looking for mixed beasts, and other matters. More than ten hours had passed. The people who had been concentrating all along were a bit tired.
“Abe, Dumps, you guys should also go to your rooms and rest. Reach out to me if there’s any problem… staying in the manor will not be dangerous.
Abe, I will create the opportunity to ‘break the breed’ for you.
You all better regain strength in these few days.”
“Okay.”
After everyone returned to their rooms.
Han Dong took a deep breath and lay down on the soft bed.
“Finally, the first step of the plan was successfully implemented. Captain Lucius’s reaction was much better than I had imagined… entered the ‘Scarlet Manor’ safely as a VIP.
This time, the Count directly took the land deed of Scarlet Manor to the mountain area in the northern part of the Holy City, held the ‘Red banquet’ once every few years, and even released a large number of invitations in the city.
His intention most likely pointed to the ‘humans’.
Of course, some lives in the surrounding area might also attend the feast… What is the purpose of such a large-scale feast? I must figure it out within the three days before the banquet opens.
Oh… the load indeed is quite heavy.”
At this moment.
A pink octopus hidden inside Han Dong slowly crawled out.
Then transformed into Nicole’s human form.
Nicole, standing by the window, gazed at the bustling view of the manor through her night vision ability.
Wow! Wow! Wow! She called out three times.
Nicole was so interested in novel things. Her eyes were glowing at the sight of such a grand mansion, she even wanted to stay here for a while.
She had to touch all the items in the room once with her little pink tentacles.
“Nicole, wouldn’t you go back to the jail to rest later?”
But Nicole pretended not to hear him.
Chirping… the lower half of her body completely turned into the octopus itself, directly jumped and placed her whole body on the soft bed that had a natural scent, and pretended to sleep.
Because the texture of the bedding was too comfortable, Nicole’s lower body couldn’t stop squirming constantly.
Since Han Dong couldn’t do anything about Nicole, he decided to take a bath first… The VIP room was spacious, and the carpet was comfortable. He would find a vacant spot to sleep later.
Just as Han Dong was about to stand up.
Nicole, who was pretending to be asleep on the side, suddenly jolted her body and held Han Dong tight.
