Rumble!

The steamship was basically 'safe' into the port.

A powerful being encountered in [Dream - First Layer], a mature demon - Denox. Earl Wright.

In reality, it's just an old guy lying dying in the mansion.

He belongs to the "crab species" who 'retired' from the deep sea due to irreparable injuries caused by his own fall. Deep Diver" ...... can only return to the peak state of his former youth by falling into a dream.

It's just that the dream of the port residents is different from the dream of Han Dong and his party.

Han Dong was on the surface and chose to go out to sea by boat and arrived at the conch array that was ten kilometers wide.

It is precisely because the door is here.

Through the array of eyes into the dream, even if you die in the dream, your consciousness can be smoothly withdrawn, and you can return to reality through the [door] smoothly.

This is not the case for the townsfolk who fall asleep in the port city, and once they are forced to take off their dreams due to a broken respirator, their consciousness will be disorganized.

When they return to reality, they will be left with all sorts of sequelae.

Of course, there are exceptions...... That is, Lord Sulam, who was found by Han Dong.

Because of the problem of Nicole's evolution.

Han Dong used the technique of the void level to achieve the effect of crossing the dream realm...... In one fell swoop, he fed Nicole the consciousness in his dreams and the shell in reality.

This Lord Suram is in reality a deformed child born to Count Wright and his wife due to his own injuries.

In summary.

The non-landed port that Han Dong asked for from the "Old King" in the deep sea is a retirement home, and he should be the most undeserved among the deep-sea messengers.

Dying or seriously injured demons will come here to retire, regain their confidence in dreams, and spend the rest of their lives, and the biggest card is Denox. Count Wright, the only mature form - the alien demon.

However, due to the problem of old age and serious injuries, the combat power is not even comparable to that of the newborn alien demon.

The other components of the port city are native humans.

They cannot be classified as "infidels", because they do not perform any sacrifices at all, nor do they have any mental degradation, but rely on conch dreams and still maintain their [humanity].

However, their bodies are accumulating pollution factors, and once they fail to wear a conch to sleep one day, it will lead to a full-scale explosion of pollution factors accumulated in their bodies...... As a result, the ultra-rapid distortion that Han Dong witnessed on the deck occurred.

They are referred to here simply as "fishermen" or "fishermen".

However, this port city, which is not even worthy of the title deed, is a [treasure land] in Han Dong's eyes.

Divers are directly related to the sea and the old king, and it is absolutely forbidden to conduct 'legal' research on purebred divers...... Even if Han Dong is an extremely high-status envoy, it can't be.

However, for the port town, a 'retirement home' that has been abandoned to some extent.

Han Dong will not be restrained when he conducts some 'miserable sea-free' guinea pig experiments.

……

After returning to the port.

According to the decipherment method obtained by Han Dong from the "Deep Dream", he successfully returned to the carriage stop in the Gain Forest.

(Naturally, it was Han Dong, as the manager here, who temporarily opened the coverage of the "Conch Dream Array" to the port town and connected the road back to Gaine Forest).

But.

All the knights present had different changes in their moods.

Although this investigation was successfully completed, there was something faintly wrong, but I couldn't say it.

Only a smile flashed across Demps's face.

"Nicholas, what's going on in the deep dreams?" Captain Deeds asked.

Ahem...... Han Dong cleared his throat and used his own experience and his ability to make up stories to tell the story of a small town located at the bottom of the sea, and how he himself seized the town's secrets from the depths of the Earl's Mansion.

There are no holes in the story, but something doesn't feel right.

However, considering the safe return of the whole group, Deeds did not delve into it for the time being.

It is imperative to make direct contact with the Holy City and report the existing information to the Knight Headquarters to see if there is a need to 'purge' the port town.

However, when Han Dong told the knight headquarters about his dream encounter during this time, he immediately received instructions from [Return to the City].

There will be a face-to-face conversation with the Knights' Headquarters Task Reviewer, eliminating the need for other investigations or clearances of the port area.

It seems that when it comes to the "deep sea", the Holy City doesn't want to make too much contact for the time being.

The upcoming Great Expedition will be primarily 'land-based'.

That's it.

The three teams immediately returned to the city, due to the flow speed between the dreams.

The overall survey task took just one day.

Ti-ta！ Ti-ta！

Iron hooves trampled through the woods, and three carriages galloped back to the city.

On the carriage of the Silver Edge.

Captain Deeds looked thoughtful with a frown.

Although in the first layer-dream realm, they were surrounded and suppressed by the entire town, and the situation was extremely dangerous, and even now there is some pollution and stress accumulated in the body.

Coupled with the complex decryption of multiple dreams, the overall difficulty is indeed worthy of the "Investigation Mission. Far away."

But on the whole, there is an unusually smooth feeling, and this 'smoothness' is inseparable from the newcomer he looked down on at first.

"Nicholas...... This man must have done something else in the shadows. ”

【Knight Headquarters】

After a one-on-one review by the task review officer, the [Investigation Mission. Far: The Sound of Trouble in the Harbor] has met the requirements for completion.

According to the examiner, since it has been thoroughly established that the life of the port is 'neutral' and lives a dreamlike life, there is no need to purge it.

The goal of the Great Expedition is not in the deep sea, and there is no need to provoke the deep sea.

The corresponding rewards and "Eve of the Expedition" points (20 points) are immediately distributed to everyone.

As for the "Raven's Language" team that Han Dong and his party had just created, they were also directly upgraded from the lowest [Iron] level to the [Silver] level, and they had more mission options.

In the remaining two months, there is no big problem for all members to hit the passing line of 60 expedition points.

"We only spent one day on this investigation mission...... Why don't you take on another investigation task while everyone is still in good spirits? ”

Mia, who has the least score, suddenly makes an opinion.

Han Dong doesn't care, his spirit is not bad.

The two teams of "Silver Edge" and "Scarlet Oath" also said that they could, and Captain Deeds also wanted to continue to cooperate with Han Dong, and wanted to dig out the details of this young knight through some intuitive combat missions.

Just when everyone was agreeing and ready to review the investigative tasks that could be carried out by the three teams.

A long-haired woman with no signs of life had appeared behind Han Dong at some point.

The creepy sense of danger also startled everyone else.

If this was placed outside the city, everyone would probably have taken action at the first time.

But this is the safest knight's headquarters, so naturally there is no possibility of any evil demons.

Turn your head and scrutinize.

The long-haired woman's body skin was found with distinct stitching lines, as well as some non-cortical structures, making it a perfect suture puppet.

Captain Deeds, who has a lot of experience, immediately recognized the puppet's corresponding controller with his stitching style and aura: "This is ...... Puppet Messenger. Charlie. ”

The female puppet's mouth opened and closed one by one, making a mechanical sound, "Valen. Nicholas...... Captain Hugo is looking for you! When it comes to something important, come back with me. ”

"Good!"

Charlie. LeBron. Bermanchev.

The man who has appeared at the Knights' Conference, the first person in the Knights' Conference ten years ago, the head of the [Puppet Guard], is currently affiliated with the Knights of the Secret Language.

Like Han Dong, he graduated from the mystery department, and he is also an outlier among geniuses.
