…
Han Dong’s indiscriminate mowing behavior in the Chaos District.
Captain Alex saw this but did not stop him.
On the one hand, it was a matter of face, and on the other hand, Alex himself wanted to see what Han Dong wanted to do with his massive collection of crystal stones.
Moreover, these crystal stones are not a big deal for the entire Chaos District.
Rumble…
When the heavy crystal coffin lid was opened again,
Han Dong was already in the Death God’s Office.
Following Captain Alex’s gesture, all the crystal stones used to build the coffin were recycled.
Before the coffin was opened, Han Dong had put the Egyptian female corpse back into the Portable Prison. The corpse had not been completely drained–only some of its flesh was removed, preserving its value.
With the disassembly of the coffin,
as soon as Han Dong saw the two elders in the office, he immediately knelt down on one knee.
“Captain Alex, Deputy Leader Staven!”
“You really know how to play… Using your own special traits to lure villagers into collecting crystal stones for you, creating a closed space that resembles ‘Chaos’ by building a crystal coffin.”
Han Dong was also embarrassed and quickly said: “About the abuse of crystal stones, I am willing to compensate.”
“This inferior crystal stone is only a by-product in the ‘Black Lotus’ covered area. No matter how much is consumed, it will regenerate… naturally, you don’t need to compensate, and I am not that petty.
Besides, it was my arrangement for you to have a separate evaluation in the Chaos Prison area.
So, in the [Will and Courage] assessment report, I will mark you as [Passed].”
“Thank you, Captain Alex.”
“Next, Mr. Staven will privately ask you some questions… Mr. Staven’s understanding of [True Death – Chaos] is deeper than mine.”
“Yes…”
Upon looking at the hunchbacked elder next to him, Han Dong immediately showed a reverent gaze.
The elder bared a sinister smile and pointed to the door, “You’ve been cooped up in that coffin for a while, why not go out for a walk?”
“Right.”
To avoid trouble, Han Dong shielded his entire body in the disguise of the Bird Beak Doctor.
Deputy Leader Staven also retracted his ghost mask on his back, appearing as nothing more than a severely hunchbacked old man. His skull wand was also transformed into an ordinary wooden staff.
“You can tell what Alex’s objective is, can’t you? You don’t need to hide anything in front of me…”
Han Dong knew very well that lying would be meaningless, so he told the truth, “Yes… It seems that Captain Alex harbors deep resentment towards me for not choosing to be part of Terminal Knight Regiment.
Individuals plunged into the Chaos Pool Water have a high probability of dying and transforming into the dead contracted with the [Black Lotus].
If I die, it means I would become part of Terminal Knight Regiment. That must be one of the implications.”
“Yes… That way you could become one of us.
Moreover, with your capabilities, even if you become one of the dead, you will certainly be able to detach yourself from them.
The rumor among the dead is also true – as long as an individual reaches the depths of the mansion and contacts the chaos lotus at its bottom, they will get a second chance.
Unfortunately, despite contacting chaos, you can’t die.
The [Power of Anubis] really is one of the death systems that are closest to chaos… This is also Alex’s second aim. He wanted to verify where your mastery of ‘Death’ mainly comes from.
After all, ‘Crow God’ is just a fake king outside the city, and the death you command is much more than that.”
“Anubis? The death god from Egyptian mythology?”
Han Dong was aware of this basic knowledge.
Moreover, during his time in the Chaos District, the black sand magic Han Dong released had some patterns of a dog-head.
When Han Dong’s consciousness sunk into the yellow sand, he also saw ancient murals involving the dog-headed man on the wall of the secret room.
“[Myths] in Fate Space…all truly exist… For example, the entity Alex contacted in Fate Space is Thanatos from Greek mythology.
Gaining [mythical-level contact] means the individual has a long-term and extreme development.
It’s a pity that a talented person like you doesn’t stay with us.”
Obliged, Han Dong scratched his head, “I actually wanted to come here at first… but Captain Hugo gave me an irresistible condition.
Moreover, I personally prefer to do text work and also possess some characteristics of the outside city.
Staying in the Secret Language Knight Order, in charge of some document examinations and stone slab translations, seems quite suitable.”
While talking about Hugo, the amiably charming Deputy Leader Staven’s aura instantly changed. Numerous small skulls hung from the surface of his wand… When black death liquid dripped from the skulls onto the ground, they instantly transformed into tiny vortexes and devoured the surrounding matter.
“Harrison Hugo… do you know what his essence is?”
“Mr. Black White has told me about Captain Hugo, even though it’s surprising, I can still accept it.”
“That crow has already told you? Since that is the case, I have nothing to say… As for the idea of ‘Joint Cultivation’, I flatly deny it.
However, I will warn you about one thing.
If you touch upon ‘mythical level’ death, you are predestined to step into chaos as long as you develop earnestly, just like Alex.
Reaching a sufficient strength to compete with the Old King… Don’t shift your focus too much and mainly rely on non-human powers.”
“Thank you for the reminder, Deputy Leader Staven.”
The conversation ended on a dissatisfied note.
Han Dong could tell that Staven held strong resentment for Captain Hugo, there might have been some disagreement between them in the past.
However, this conversation was quite interesting.
“[Myth-tier contact]… does the Fate Ability also have this kind of division?”
Han Dong looked at his left arm.
Without the [disguise], it looked almost like a human arm, with a few worn-out bandages and slight thinning.
“As for the balance point of my body, I will naturally find it… Phew! With this, the assessment is also over, and the Big Expedition is almost here!”
