My Cell Prison-Chapter 456 - : 456

Chapter 456: 456

During the conversation with the senior student, Han Dong noticed something.

The scattered Yellow Sand, covering the area of the basement, began to clear.

A wisp of Yellow Sand wrapped up some weird residue inside the “Scarlet Servant” and stealthily handed it over to Han Dong without any detection.

Knight Priscilla glared at the disappearing Yellow Sand, utterly confused…

She could understand the Crow magic.

But what was the deal with this Yellow Sand?

Even the knights she knew from the [Library] were rarely proficient in this kind of magic.

“What exactly are you?” she asked.

“I minor in Library, and know only a little about basic magic.”

“A minor? This is what you call a little?”

Knight Priscilla’s observation was excellent.

She clearly saw that Han Dong simply raised his left hand, without any incantation or unnecessary casting gestures. Straightaway, he released the Yellow Sand Magic that covered the entire basement through his arm.

Upon touching the Yellow Sand, it wasn’t just the ordinary draining of moisture.

The tissues underwent silicic crystallization and died instantly.

“Senior, let’s quickly look for any clues related to the ‘Red Plague’ in the basement… then report the situation here to the Knight Regiment.”

“Hmm.”

The senior student brushed away her seaweed-like hair strands, shifting her attention from Han Dong to the eerie and scarlet basement.

What was certain was that the Scarlet Servant had been conducting terrifying experiments down below. According to the dates on the experimental log, he’d been lurking here for at least a month.

But he didn’t seem to have made any significant achievements. He only kept on trying Red Extractions and even cultivated some scarlet plants in an attempt to condense “Blood Brew” using the fruits of the plants. But all the attempts ended in failure.

“Take the experiment log, some condensed reagents, and fruits with you, and let’s get out of here right away.”

Due to the encounter with the invaders outside the city, the patrol returned to barricade the high wall area.

After a thorough physical examination confirmed that none of the patrol members were infected with the Red Plague, they smoothly left the [Isolation area].

A person in charge from the Holy Knights Group took over and received the related intelligence from Han Dong and his team.

“Good job! The information you have provided is extremely important, and we will reward you accordingly.”

Knight Priscilla immediately asked, “Have other patrols also encountered ‘Scarlet Servants’?”

“Yes, but very few… At present, we can basically confirm that the source of the ‘Red Plague’ is the invasion of the Scarlet Life.”

“How could this Scarlet Servant, who still hasn’t reached Demon Level, infiltrate the Holy City?” Priscilla found this very confusing.

“Currently, Captain Olivia has personally led a team to delve into the Isolation zone, looking for ways and paths that the Scarlet Life might have used to sneak in…the Holy City may need to overhaul the abandoned sewer areas.”

“Your Captain of the Holy Knights Group has personally taken action? It seems that this Plague should be stabilized soon…however, we should be going on a [Raid] after that, right?”

“I don’t know, we’ll have to wait for further instructions.”

As such, Han Dong and the others concluded their collective mission ahead of time after killing a Scarlet Servant…

The remaining work in the Isolation Area could be left to the other teams.

“Knight Priscilla, if there’s nothing else to be done here, we’ll go to the church for baptism and stress release.”

“Hmm, go back and rest.”

As this female Knight watched Han Dong’s retreating figure, she fell into a deep thought. She would definitely make time to investigate this student’s real situation.

“[Mysticism] + [Library], extraordinary detective skills, incantation-free Yellow Sand Magic, flowing style of combat against such an entity… As expected, only such a monster would be favored by Mr. Black White.

Finally, it’s the Mysterious Department’s turn to produce a top talent.

This boy will definitely shine in the Knight Draft… I’ll definitely make time to see it then.”

…….

Gurgle gurgle…

The wooden wheels of the carriage crunched on the uneven road.

Han Dong, Mia, and Flora have been baptized and subjected to the stress release.

“Nicholas, why don’t you continue hunting bug nests or other infected bodies in the isolation zone? It is said that if we eliminate a third-phase infected body, we can earn 10 bronze coins.

With your detective skills, we could amass at least a few hundred bronze coins, right?”

“There’s no need, and there’s risk… If a Scarlet Manor’s member who has reached the [Demon] level is lurking inside and we happen to run into them, that’d be really troublesome.

The female knight leading our team is not particularly adept at dealing with these scarlet creatures.

Moreover, our protective suits are damaged and prone to infection.”

“Thank you, senior.”

Flora knew very well that the one easily susceptible to infection was her. It was precisely for this reason that Han Dong chose to leave the isolation zone.

“Alright, let’s call it a day.”

The carriage arrived, and the younger sister left.

Mia, however, expressed no intention of leaving, determined to stick to Han Dong all day long.

Mia, arm in arm with Han Dong, whispered in his ear: “Are you hiding something from me? Did you get some hidden information after killing that Scarlet Servant?”

Just as Mia was inquiring,

gulugulugulu ~ another exquisite carriage arrived here.

The one who stepped off was none other than Dumps.

Mia immediately realized that her world with Han Dong had been thoroughly interrupted, and immediately made a face at Dumps.

“Come over and talk.”

There was some connection to events outside the city for all three of them.

Han Dong had acquired a mysterious object from inside a Scarlet Servant and wanted to discuss it with them.

The main reason he chose to leave the isolation zone was not because he was worried that the younger sister would be infected.

Instead, it had to do with this mysterious object.

The venue for the three-person conversation was still Dumps’s bedroom.

This high-end bedroom was top-tier in soundproofing as well.

“Dumps, didn’t you go for your mission in the isolation zone?”

“I can get exempted from such tasks by letting Miss Hera know… Hold on! Did the vice captain find something special in the isolation zone?”

“This! I found it inside a Scarlet Servant after I killed her.”

An envelope, full of black and red patterns, soft and pliable with a long bar-shaped seal at the opening, was held in Han Dong’s hand.

The text on the wax seal was indecipherable to most people.

Yet Han Dong and Dumps recognized it instantly.

“Scarlet Manor Invitation”.

“This!!”

Greatly shocked, Dumps immediately pulled up the curtains to prevent others from seeing the envelope.

Mia, however, wore an oblivious expression.

“Dumps, you know something about this, right?”

“Well… since last time when Abe’s target wandered around the Adlaga Mountains, a friend told me about a special organization in the Adlaga mountains as well – the ‘Scarlet Manor’.

This group of scarlet lives, belonging to a certain old king, lurks in the hidden areas of the high mountains and would launch a mad attack on any life that trespasses their territory.

They might be related to Abe’s target demon, or not.

There’s another thing I know. Every year, the ‘Scarlet Manor’ sends out invitations to all sorts of evil beings, monsters, or different people. The Gaine Forest is also within their delivery range.

Only those invited can ‘safely’ travel to the manor to participate in their Crimson Feast.

There, they’d consume ‘Blood Brew’, exclusively produced by the old king.”
