"The Old King??"

The incident of the old king is still an indelible memory in Han Dong's head.

Although the old king at that time was driven out by death.

But it is also based on the fact that the Grim Reaper is at his peak, the territory is located at the gate of the Holy City, plus there are several commanders who are full of fighting spirit at the gate of the city, and the strength of the entire Holy City can be pressed out at any time.

If you really want to go deep into the territory of the old king, that is a different situation.

"It's not all the old kings, just a single low-ranking "old king".

Of course...... The whole process will also be extremely difficult, and it will also be the first official conquest of the old king in the history of mankind.

This is the ultimate goal of the Great Expedition.

Of course, the Great Expedition is not a one-time event, but is carried out in stages, each with a corresponding goal.

If the conditions of the Expeditionary Force as a whole do not meet the preset standards of the Phase 2 by the time the "Phase 1" is completed, the entire Expedition will be terminated immediately.

If you can defeat an old king in one fell swoop, it will be of great significance to the Holy City and to the whole world.

It will also be the most important milestone in human history, and an important step in our recovery of lost territory. ”

"Hmm......" Han Dong can understand, and the meaning of letting an old king fall is by no means what Mr. Black and White is currently saying, it is of great significance to the entire human civilization.

"For now, you just have to do your own thing, go ahead...... If any training or study requires the use of the stargazing room, you can always come over. ”

"Hmm."

……

Han Dong was neither a councilor nor a leader of the Knights, so it was not his turn to worry about these things.

Just do your own thing.

The next thing to do is a very important thing.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was enough time today, Han Dong immediately took Mr. Black and White's carriage to the outside of the city...... Since it was today to go back today, I didn't call Demps.

It's best for this group of friends to wait until they all pass the [True Destiny] before inviting them together.

The moment the carriage left the city gates.

The sky quickly darkened, replaced by "eternal night".

Han Dong held the glass bottle to the window of the car so that Dr. Swelling could see what he had never seen before.

Trees with sucker structures, evil spirits lurking in the forest, wild monsters, or a few heretics performing strange rituals in the forest.

"It's incredible......"

Professor West protrudes a finger from the base of his neck and gently pushes the frame of his glasses, eager to study this strange life he has never seen before.

Accompanied by a crow call.

Come to the territory belonging to Han Dong, Stuart Manor.

Everything is fine inside, and the overall strength of this manor, which is managed by the Raven tribe and Dr. Swelling, has reached the level of the Great Ghoul. Ten times more than the period of Stuart Lord's administration, no fool would dare to come here to cause trouble.

"Congratulations to Lord Nicholas on reaching new heights."

The elders who came to greet the crow people could also discover Han Dong's difference through the hidden eyes under the crow feathers.

Whether it is the body, the necklace, or the aura emanating from the skull, there has been a qualitative change...... The crows also strengthened their belief in following Han Dong.

"Your room, my lord, is cleaned every day, and there are already humanoid female crows waiting at the door, waiting for your life in the last few days, my lord."

Han Dong hurriedly waved his hand, "No need for this...... I've got to go back tonight, and I'm here to get the doctor on some business. ”

"Okay, is there anything the lord needs our Raven tribe to do?"

All this time, except for launching a title deed war against the Scarlet Manor, Han Dong basically did not order any major actions.

"Not really, but you need to be prepared in the near future...... The Great Expedition of the Holy City is imminent, and it may be ready within a year.

I will also go with you, and I will need your help when the time comes.

The only thing that needs to be done is that I hope that when the Great Expedition begins, there will be more elite troops of the Raven Men and a [Mature] Raven Elder. ”

"Okay."

A few necessary things were briefly explained.

Han Dong immediately came to the familiar underground experimental area from the secret passage, and found that a lot of changes had taken place in the experimental area.

Various gears and steam structures are added between the various connecting devices of the culture chamber to further improve the cultivation process of ghoul larvae, optimize the parameters, and increase the proportion of high-quality cultures.

This is clearly the result of cooperation with the financiers.

Dr. Swelling has perfected the installation of automation devices by himself during the time that Han Dong has been on his way to Destiny Space.

As Han Dong arrives at the core laboratory.

It was found that the doctor was sleeping on a metal flat bed used for experiments in his spare time.

At the head of the bed, the head nurse brought out by the strange talk is using a micron-sized high-precision water gun to help the doctor clean the sulci and gyrus.

Seeing Han Dong's arrival, the head nurse hurriedly explained:

"My lord, some time ago, a group of strange knights who are mainly mechanics came here and brought a lot of high-level materials, and the doctor spent four days and four nights on the optimization and transformation of the laboratory.

Now in a deep sleep, I'm helping him wash away the metabolites that have formed in his brain. ”

"It's fine."

Han Dong also said to let Dr. Swelling sleep for a while, and he would wait for Professor West to look around.

Who knows, because of the proximity of Han Dong's body.

The moment he smelled the breath, Dr. Swelling immediately woke up from his deep sleep, immediately buckled his skull, and knelt down on one knee in front of Han Dong.

"Doctor, don't be so polite...... I've seen all the renovation of the lab, and it's been a really hard time. The Steam Knights didn't interfere with any of the experimental projects here, did they? ”

"Nope.

The people who came to deliver the materials were deeply mechanized humans in strange religious robes...... Not even human, after they deliver the materials, they will amnestically clean them in front of me.

Very reliable collaborator. ”

"Well, it seems that we have to find a time to meet Mr. Newton and the benefactor, and it is not good to take money for nothing and not do anything...... Doctor, this time I'm here just because of one thing. ”

As he spoke, Han Dong took out Professor West's head from his backpack.

"This is the Herbert I met in the space of destiny. Professor West has a deep understanding of the field of human chemistry...... I'd like the two of you to work together to manage the ghoul lab at Stuart Manor, as well as the hybridization lab at Crimson Manor.

Of course, your research topics are different.

Professor West will be your assistant for a month-long internship.

After a month, I will expand the scale of the lab as much as possible and try to conduct more in-depth experiments with organisms. ”

"Please advise."

Like-sex attract.

When Professor West made eye contact with Dr. Swelling, he instantly sparked a spark of scientific research.

Moreover, Professor West's personality is relatively weak, and Han Dong also gave the definition of the internship period and assistant in advance, thinking that the two will definitely be able to get along harmoniously.
