Chapter 1750: Chapter 1748: A Special Invitation
The one dispatched from Mi University branch, Han Dong,
brought Green and Sally directly to the front of the “Bell Tower” on the third tier of the Holy City.
Green seemed to still be immersed in the previous battle, constantly licking his tongue while muttering:
“The core professors of Mi University are indeed impressive… This guy named ‘Hugo’ is even stronger than some Lower-class Old Kings bred in the Abyss.
This unique attack mode, it’s the first time I’ve seen it.
In just a few minutes of confrontation, he could fully adapt and grasp my ‘movements’.
To think he actually killed 41 of my Abyssal Bodies in a single day.
Nicholas~ is there a place for recovery inside the Black Tower?”
Obviously, Green suffered foundational damage in his battle with Hugo… otherwise, with his personality, he would never voluntarily say something like this.
“Of course, there is.
It even has some treatment facilities that would interest you, Green, ones you’ve never experienced before.”
“Let’s go quickly!”
When the three of them stepped forth in the void space,
they coincidentally encountered a group of young humans waiting in front of the Bell Tower… It was apparent they were Apprentice Knights preparing to head to the Fate Space.
Unlike Han Dong’s past experiences,
besides the regular individuals of the Knight Academy within the group, there were also some knights possessing demon special characteristics mixed among them… even clearly observable was the presence of tentacles and multi-eye structures on their bodies.
Upon seeing this scene, Han Dong felt quite emotional.
He naturally placed himself among these students with demon special characteristics, recalling the past days of adventurous fate.
Although every journey into Fate entailed overwhelming risks, the experiences of adventuring and growing with his friends at that time were indeed enjoyable.
These very adventures laid the foundation for Han Dong’s current position.
On the contrary,
when the Apprentice Knights faced these three mysterious entities suddenly appearing before them.
They immediately took steps back due to their instincts,
while some Apprentice Knights with demon attributes even knelt on the ground, suppressing their displayed traits upon their features out of fear and trembling.
Be it the youth full of perforations or the woman stepping on goat’s hooves,
they both exuded an aura so terrifying it defied evaluation, coupled with a suppressive sensation originating from the demon source.
Han Dong said with a smiling face:
“No need to mind us, prepare yourselves well to tread upon fate.”
His words rooted themselves like a virus into the brains of the Apprentice Knights,
eliminating their fear of Green and Sally,
while also assisting them to recover their spirits, ensuring they participate in Fate in their best state.
“Could this be the first ‘Demon Knight’- Valen Nicholas… he’s incredibly strong, I cannot even determine his level, it seems way above the pressure given by an elite knight.”
“He is indeed the central figure of the ‘Big Expedition’, capable of affecting the entire battle’s direction merely with the ability to open the gate.”
Discussions ensued endlessly.
At this time, with the sound of gears whirring,
the “Timekeeper” had opened the main door of the Bell Tower, issuing a mechanical voice that penetrates to the skull, requiring the Apprentice Knights to enter.
Han Dong wasn’t in a hurry, waiting silently outside while waving to greet the Timekeeper.
Once they finished their respective duties, Han Dong then led Sally and Green into the Bell Tower.
“Hmm, the design here is quite commendable…”
Green touched the gear structure inside the Bell Tower; through the crevice and cavity structures, he felt the complexity of the overall structure, which even contained deep designs of space and time.
After riding the elevator to the Timekeeper’s office.
The only way to take Green and Sally to the Black Tower was from here… after all, though the Clockmaker was penalized to remain trapped here, serving as the Black Tower’s eye for monitoring the S-01 world.
However, as the person in charge of the “Door of Fate” (Holy City), she still holds the authority to convey messages to the Black Tower.
“…that’s the situation.
Could you please hand over this letter to the staff on the Black Tower’s side, Timekeeper?”
The letter Han Dong handed over was no ordinary letter.
It bore Mr. M’s unique seal, and the envelope material was quite special, one that only the high-level personnel of the Black Tower were entitled to use.
That’s correct.
The envelope stemmed from the letter Mr. M requested Han Dong to deliver to the Goat Mother, which Han Dong deliberately retained.
As the Timekeeper focused on the ‘M’ seal on the envelope, mechanical thoughts whirled rapidly in their brain, and a look of incredulity emerged in their eyes:
“Alright.”
The Timekeeper took less than ten minutes to visit the “Door of Fate”,
returning with two temporary identity plates and vortex masks.
“The application was approved very quickly.
However, the Black Tower requires that… your two friends, when using the temporary identity plates to head to the Black Tower, must wear the masks at all times in public areas, otherwise, they will be seen as ‘intruders’ and will be cleared away.”
“Understood.”
Han Dong comprehended the reason for wearing masks.
Currently, the collaboration between the Black Tower and S-01 has yet to establish, casually letting demons into it could inevitably lead to panic and might even result in severe ‘pollution spread’.
These vortex masks could effectively absorb and suppress the demon breath, simultaneously containing ‘pollution’.
“Green, bear with it for a bit.”
Holding the mask, Green nodded, “Since we’re off to someone else’s stronghold… okay then.”
The vortex mask automatically affixed itself to their faces, with the vortex subtly revolving, instantly absorbing their demon breath.
Maintaining human physique, Green and Sally appeared just like any ordinary individuals.
Before stepping into the Door of Fate, Han Dong also glanced back at the Timekeeper, softly speaking:
“Regarding the issue of your punishment and the restoration of your identity, I’ll do my best to strive for it… wait for my news.”
“Thank you.”
…
Buzz!
The moment Han Dong landed on the base-level square of the Black Tower,
Beep beep beep!
A barrage of information surged in frantically, like turning on a phone that’s been off for a month.
Various worlds under Han Dong’s command were sending information,
The world controlled by the legendary Migo Morgan, ‘Prometheus’, was undergoing tremendous changes,
‘Derry Town’ was actually upgrading towards a Subsuper world,
The ‘Hacker Empire’ managed by Little Yellow was also undergoing world modification,
And the messages sent by Handsome Jack reached over [99+], all related to the iridium ore business.
Simultaneously, there was a warning from the headquarters of the Black Tower, requiring Han Dong, as the ‘guardian’, to keep the accompanying demon under control, otherwise, he would bear the responsibility for any arising threats.
“This is the Black Tower! It’s simply too exciting here, so many powerful individuals… and many entities possess attributes I’ve never encountered before!”
The Disk Square was crowded with travelers from different worlds, including some with Mythic Bodies and even King-Level existences.
Green, witnessing this scene for the first time, was extremely excited, with a plethora of tentacles twirling around within the mask.
Han Dong, however, focused on the last message he received, making a decision.
“Green, let’s restore your body condition before heading to the [Fight Club]… follow me!”
Han Dong led the two, taking the elevator from the base level to the middle zone of the Black Tower.
There lay night rain, neon lights, and steel jungle-like buildings.
[Other Shore Hotel]
After verifying the registered identity, they boarded the only boat bound for the hotel.
Creak~
Upon pushing open the suite door, a familiar man in a white suit stood beside the bed.
An invisible pressure made Green’s body’s holes shrink together, gazing at this person as if facing a collection of countless worlds.
“First Element – Christopher J. Green,
Fourth Element – Sally Aituf,
remarkably fine young individuals… Once you step into the room, there will no longer be any restraints; you can remove your masks.”
