It's been half a year since the Great Betrayer Incident.

President of the Writers Guild, Stephen. McNofsky led the case, and a total of 1,087 people were involved.

About half of the writers in the Writers' Guild alone had intimate ties with Stephen, all of which involved plans to encroach on the very roots of the Holy City.

This time the clean-up has caused a great loss of vitality in the Holy City.

Of course, it also allows the Holy City to escape from the great crisis, otherwise, once the rebellion is triggered from within by the head of the association, the inner zone will collapse from the roots.

When the time comes, the Knights, who are on an expedition, can only watch the fall of the Holy City.

During his reign, President Stephen was aware of and exploited nearly every vulnerability that existed in the Holy City.

On the other hand, it's also thanks to President Stephen...... Now, simply by filling these holes in turn, you can maximize the security limits of the Holy City.

The Supreme Council also hereby awarded a Medal of Honour to Mr. Black and White.

At the same time, Mr. Black and White was given more authority to deal with the dark side of the Holy City, including direct supervision of the Writers' Guild and control of the Inner City Law Enforcement Team under special circumstances.

It is also because of the great injury of vitality.

The original scheduled [Great Expedition] will be postponed a little later, but the total time will not exceed two years.

……

Outside the city.

An area on the edge of the Gaine Forest.

As is customary, horse-drawn carriages with crow logos on their carriages drive here.

The Demps guy wearing a monocle bronze mirror will get off here......

But this time the situation was slightly different, the inside of the carriage was a little more lively than before, and the three of them got off together.

Demps, Han Dong, and Mia, who was out of the city due to special circumstances.

Half a year has passed.

Han Dong, who had completed the [Broken Seed], thought that his body would become tougher due to the formation of the Talent Tree, but in fact, he still looked like he was 'frail and sickly', and his skin was even paler than before.

Of course.

Such an image is nothing more than a physical appearance given by "death".

Han Dong's real physical condition is still very good.

As for the [Crazy Laughter] attribute, Han Dong has gradually restrained it in half a year, except for laughing wildly under special circumstances.

Under normal circumstances, Han Dong would only show a very friendly smile.

As for Mia going out of the city with her, naturally because of the limit of her senior year, Mia has not found a suitable target for breaking seeds, and in a casual conversation, she heard about an area called [Worm Valley] from Demps, so she wanted to go out of the city with her.

Of course.

Demps went out of the city this time to break the seed.

In terms of 'taste', Demps is much more picky than Han Dong.

In the battle of Crimson Heights, the six barons, the three Praetorian Guards, and the three pet demons, as well as mature entities such as the Grand Butler, were not in the eyes of Demps.

[Absolute Fit] This is a requirement of Temples.

Years ago, Demps' 'mother' was already looking for a target for him.

Now, the goal is set, but ...... Demps alone seems to be a bit difficult to deal with, and needs special assistance from Han Dong.

In front of the cliff.

"I have told my mother that you are coming, so don't be nervous...... I'm a little embarrassed to let you accompany me to break seeds, Nicholas. ”

"If you can offset 10,000 copper coins at one time, I really hope you can break the seed a few more times."

"It's just coins, and the goods available in the Holy City are limited, and materials that are higher than the "unique" quality are already priceless, let alone want to spend money to buy something that suits you."

"Haha, I don't spend money to buy high-quality equipment."

Han Dong, which currently owns two estates, needs a lot of economy to support it...... After experiencing the first land deed war, Han Dong felt the power of 'technology'.

The lowest-tier ghouls are able to overpower the powerful bloodlines generated from blood through technological transformation.

For this reason, Han Dong decided to continue to develop technology within the manor, and the science madman [Dr. Swelling] was fully responsible.

"Don't worry, as long as this breaking can be done, I will lend you another 10,000 copper coins...... Let's go! Mother has been waiting for a long time. ”

Temples stepped into the mobile cabin nestled between the cliffs.

As I stood outside and stared at the open black door of the wooden house, I felt an inexplicable sense of danger in my heart.

Mia's spider sense also made her hair stand on end all over her body, and she held Han Dong tightly...... Even the four spider legs that grew were all on Han Dong's body to a certain extent.

There was something about Demps' 'mother', and Han Dong had also asked beforehand.

But Demps's answer was:

"'Mother' is just His name, and there is no blood relationship with me...... As for the 'mother', it is absolutely forbidden to disclose it to the public.

Please rest assured Nicholas, as long as it is my friend, 'Mother' will never hurt. ”

……

Inside the stone fireplace, a warm flame burns.

The spacious rectangular hall is wider than it looks from the outside.

On the walls are a large number of abstract paintings, which are used to express 'spiritual release' through exaggerated and distorted heads and psychedelic color schemes...... If you gaze at a painting for a long time, you will even notice that the paint flows slowly.

This room seems to be an "interactive room".

In addition to the wooden door where Han Dong and his party entered, there were eighteen doors corresponding to the rectangular hall, and I don't know what area it led to...... Far more than the size of a wooden house should be.

On a long wooden table in the center, there is a large amount of rotten food.

In the master's seat, there is the 'mother'.

A tall, thin woman with four arms and a white dress, covering her left and right ears, eyes and mouth...... She sat in her seat, but only one toe touched the ground.

As it stands.

The 'mother' seems to have deliberately prepared a sumptuous feast to welcome the guests.

By this time, the hut had begun to move away from the Gaine Forest by its long legs that grew at the bottom...... It is the first time that Han Dong has been far away from the Holy City.

'Mother' suddenly stood up with her body more than two meters tall and approached Han Dong's side.

At the same time, flip the palms of both hands attached to the ears.

There is a 'cochlea' structure in the palm, and it is possible to identify whether it is harmful to the wooden house by listening.

The cochlea was then placed against Mia for testing.

After confirming that everything is correct, return to the original position with one toe in contact with the ground.

Turning back his hands and continuing to cover his ears, he turned out his hand covering his mouth and said a language that only Han Dong and the others could understand:

"Emissary, I'll lead you to a special room in a moment to see if you can help Demps.

If you can really help, I'm willing to give you a reciprocal reward afterwards. ”

"No problem."

Although Han Dong's expression was calm, a little cold sweat was already overflowing from his back......

As soon as he stepped into the cabin, the Eye was sealed, and no further information could be observed.

Judging from Han Dong's subjective feelings, this 'mother' may be an existence at the level of the old king.

Even if it's not, it's about the same level as what is hidden in the body of the head of the Writers' Association.
