【Cancer Palace-Upper Area】

It doesn't have the obvious layering and human street-like structure of the rest of the Cancer Palace.

The entire upper area is no longer constrained by rules and regulations.

The "building cells" here are differentiating at will, forming a series of chaotic branches like nerve cells, intertwined, and like a giant tree of flesh and blood.

Therefore, the upper district also has another name.

"Sacred Tree of Cancer"

It was the residence of the noble knights and nobles.

Ms. Olena owns property here as a nobleman, but she doesn't like to live here, so she has long since moved away, for the simple reason that she ...... It's too noisy.

Tumor Riders with "Winged Tumor" can freely move from tree trunk to tree, and due to their aggressive nature, Tumor Riders may challenge each other once they meet.

Even if you are seriously injured during the challenge, you can quickly recover by sucking on the original cancer in the branches of the sacred tree.

Also, duels that take place in the Sacred Tree are counted as 'War Records'.

The cancer palace that advocates struggle also has a ranking list internally, and the knights in different ranges enjoy different treatments.

Recently, a paranoid and even a little crazy rookie knight appeared in the sacred tree area, without considering his own state, whether he was suitable, or even the strength of the other party, and launched a challenge when he saw someone.

Such a reckless duel doomed this newcomer to a bad record,

Of her nearly 100 challenges, only 7 have won 3 and drawn, and the rest have all been defeats.

The knight's armor on her body is also quite special,

The use of softened and small metal pieces makes the armor appear slender and soft and sticks to the body, more like a combat suit than armor.

The skirt structure of the meat slice is reduced to the shortest,

The helmet decorated with double feathers covers the entire face, leaving only a breathing hole in the lower jaw,

Today, as always, she danced on the branches of the sacred tree without the help of wings, searching for any knight who could challenge.

Those knights who were strolling around the Sacred Tree neighborhood would avoid the newcomer's aura as soon as they noticed it.

The reason is very simple, the opponent's record is very poor, almost at the bottom of the Knights, and defeating it will not bring much ranking improvement to itself.

And this newcomer's ability is very troublesome, just like a small strong that can't be killed, even if he can win in the end, he will inevitably pay a lot of price, and it is a waste of time.

Just when the newcomer locks on to a target and challenges him with a big jump to try to catch up with the opponent,

Airplanes! A sudden pressure fell, causing her to stumble and almost fall off the branch.

A strange figure flashed directly in front of her with almost no intervals,

The visitor was a woman who was not equipped with armor, but was wrapped in a crimson dress with flowers blooming on her head, also known as the Queen's Messenger.

He is a subordinate of the supreme ruler of the Cancer Palace, and is responsible for the supervision and communication of the Holy Tree District, even if the Tumor Knight sees this person, he has to be honest.

"Kim. Almeida, there is one thing that needs to be confirmed to you, whether you deserve this person or not. ”

The messenger unfolded her long dress, which was used to convey orders and messages, revealing the image of a young man with a pocket needle mask and a cloak covering his body, an axe in one hand and a firearm in the other.

Although there has been a big change in the image, the axe is also a new weapon, but Kim can recognize it at a glance.

"William! Did he commit something? ”

The messenger did not respond to Kim's question, but said to himself, "William. Behrens ...... The man's name appeared on the register of the cancer palace. Once won the championship in the underground gladiatorial arena of the business district with you, and then left the cancer palace.

Thank you for the information. ”

The messenger wrapped himself back in his robes, and his body sank like a liquid between the trunks.

At this moment, Jin had no idea of continuing to look for someone to do something, and left the Holy Tree District as quickly as possible to find Ms. Olena's mansion.

"Master!"

As soon as Kim shouted, the cat's paw landed on her shoulder. Before she could ask a question, Ms. Olenna said in advance:

"Yesterday there was a big incident, a team of Zun Tumor Knights who went to Shui Tumor City to deal with unknown events encountered the [Circus of Fear]."

"The circus? I know that. "Kim used to deal with nightmare events in Zion.

Due to the failure to make an evacuation judgment in time, the mammoth Yuno who led the team was killed, and the other two fled back to the cancer palace.

Strangely, one of the escapees was unharmed...... Because the circus member she met was none other than William. ”

"What!? William has joined the circus. ”

"The Courier has been looking for you before, right? Who else can express the characteristics of so many diseases in appearance? Not to mention knowing both of us. ”

"Is the circus still in that place? I'm going to go! ”

"I have already withdrawn, otherwise the Lord would not have stood still...... I didn't expect that William kid to have something to do with the circus, and become one of them, and even appeared with a troublesome guy like Art.

Hopefully, the next time we meet, he won't change too much. If you're under the vicious influence of Yat, Kim must make the decision to cut ties with him. ”

"Is it malignant...... Hehe, maybe William will be even more interesting when he gets it. ”

"Kim, don't underestimate Art's [malignancy].

That clown was among the best among the exiles of the cancer palace in the past, and even unmatched in malignant transmission.

The cancer patients who once talked to Art in the cancer uterus all developed more or less malignant cancer, and some of them directly turned into malignant tumor patients and were forced to exile. ”

"I see, Master...... I've been a bit bored in the Sacred Tree lately, and those knights feel like they've seen a ghost when they sense my breath.

Why don't I take a long vacation and go out to practice, maybe I'll be lucky enough to meet William and see how he's doing in person. ”

"You belong to the Knights of Venerable Tumor now, so there's no need to report this kind of thing to me.

In addition, once you choose to join the circus, you will be disconnected from the Cancer Palace, and you will even be labeled "Betrayer Knight" and will be permanently hostile. ”

"Master, don't think about it, I'm just going out to practice, I can't bear to you, Master~"

With Kim gone, Ms. Olenna returns to her cat's kennel with a few jumps, but she still has some details of the incident that she hasn't told Kim.

That is, William, who emerged from the circus, is still at the peak of open source, and the path is not completed, and in that state, he can actually fight with a knight and disguise the state of falling into the valley.

……

The Black Roundworm Train temporarily stops in a clearing outside the Maggot Forest.

The highest-ranking crew member of this train is communicating with William, a special passenger.

Because the destination given by William was listed as a [forbidden area] by the company not long ago, and even a hundred kilometers around it were not allowed to approach.

"We don't know exactly why the company labeled this area as off-limits...... If you want to know, it is recommended that you go to a neutral city close to the exclusion zone, or go to the company's headquarters to ask for details. ”

"Then send me to the nearest neutral city to the exclusion zone."

"Okay, I'll make sure we're heading to [Rat City-Pestis], it's a relatively small city among neutral cities, with chaotic internal rules and regulations, and unrestricted infectious diseases, but you shouldn't have a problem with your skills."
