Chapter 1631: Chapter 1629: Entering the City
Since I’ve already touched the ’undercurrent’ existing on the Zothique Continent and have a general understanding of the local customs, there’s no need to continue taking the bus for the remaining journey.
Of course.
Since it belongs to ’when in Ro,’ it’s naturally necessary to be a bit more discreet.
Riding a Bloodhound like a Count would be too conspicuous and would easily expose one’s identity.
Han Dong stared at the body bags filled with various severed limbs, and an idea ford in his mind.
"Mr. Newton, could you lend a hand... by using these body materials to create a carriage that fits the local style?"
Under Han Dong’s commission,
The chanical Rubik’s Cube quickly reconstructed itself, transforming back into Mr. Newton’s form.
Reaching out his arm to touch the dismbered limbs in the body bags,
One after another, rule patterns symbolizing chanical structures transmitted from Mr. Newton’s arm to the surface of the limbs.
First, a large number of gears, screws, and other chanical structures erged on the surface of the limbs,
Then, according to the rule patterns, the structures were rearranged, integrated, and reorganized,
Ka-ka-ka~
Along with the sound of machinery and bones.
A carriage constructed in the front with a group of Skulls,
Perfectly fused with bones, muscles, fascia, and machinery,
Since the carriage was now built,
It required a suitable ’horse’ to pull it,
Han Dong directly selected from the brain manor a genetically selected, physically robust Variant Ghoul covered with black hair to serve as the ’horse.’
He hooked the bone chain at the front of the carriage directly into the Ghoul’s scapula for fixation.
Running at its highest speed can reach up to 150 km/h.
After simply cleaning up the traces at the scene, the group boarded the ’carriage’ and rushed at full speed towards the local capital - Zurbaha.
...
Just as Han Dong and others had not long departed,
Accompanied by the tremors of the earth,
A Giant Ghoul modified with "chanical modification" quickly arrived at the site of the incident,
Carrying nearly a hundred mbers of the Secret Religion on its back, imdiately examining the scene.
Soon they found the headless and completely dead Instructor,
And the corpse whose spine was entirely removed, trapped in the ground,
"Lord Bishop.
The assailant should be a spinal body that reached [Ancestor Return],
He should have wanted to occupy the instructors’ strong bodies... but was ultimately slain, possibly even captured, by an Outsider not belonging to the Zothique Continent."
Standing at the head of the Giant Ghoul, holding the chanical Bone Scepter, the Lord Bishop nodded.
"Hmm... the recent battle almost finished in an instant.
The assisting Outsider has quite formidable strength, potentially reaching the Mythological Tier.
Having Outsider assistance is indeed a good thing, let’s not pursue what happened here.
Since this group of unknown origin undercurrents has begun to target the instructors, we must tighten our defenses, mainly strengthening the guard over [Zurbaha].
If they infiltrate the capital in large numbers, things will beco troubleso."
"Yes."
...
It must be ntioned here.
The capital - Zurbaha, is quite different from the King Level City - London City, where Han Dong once went.
Not only in terms of city style, scale, and managent rules.
Night’s mother [N.G.] manages the city by completely rging the King Level Land Deed with London City,
While the King of Ghoul [M.O.] is different.
The King Level Land Deed he holds does not solely cover the capital,
But is used to maintain the entire ’Zothique Continent’ so that this continent remains isolated from the world, with only specific ans to set foot here... establishing a ghoul empire uniquely its own.
Because of such.
Due to expanded managent area, M.O. cannot ticulously observe the capital through the Land Deed,
Only relying on his Gear Secret Teaching and Corpse Eating Forbidden Guard to maintain tight patrols over the capital,
Simultaneously issuing restrictions,
Keeping Zurbaha in a semi-open state where every entrant must undergo strict identity verification.
In less than two hours,
The carriage crossed over a dense forested hill called ’Corpse Rotten Forest.’
The magnificent capital - Zurbaha officially appeared before everyone’s eyes.
Six oversized towering white bones, as crucial support points for the City Wall, ford a regular hexagonal flesh and blood city wall.
Because M.O. holds unknown Gear Technology,
The flesh and blood city wall is also embedded with sophisticated chanical structures, which can locally reinforce it while achieving instant full-tal plating and completely seal off the upper air space.
Moreover, even at a considerable distance, chanical sounds could be heard emanating from the city, clearly indicating large factories operating inside.
Such sounds brought a smile to Mr. Newton’s face, as if he had indeed co to the right place.
"In special tis, entering the city will certainly be inconvenient, so I’ll continue to remain concealed... if there’s anything you need help with, call ."
"Okay."
Newton continues to transform into the chanical Rubik’s Cube, hanging as a decorative piece on Han Dong’s waist.
While the carriage was heading towards the city gate.
Sitting inside the carriage, Han Dong suddenly spoke,
"Sally, take off your clothes."
"Ah~" Sally was surprised, looking at the relatively spacious carriage, she began to remove her clothes on the spot, even trying to position herself.
Han Dong realized his words had been misleading and quickly corrected.
"No~ I ant to take off the outerwear... the identity verification at the city gate is quite strict, we need to disguise ourselves.
During the bus ride, I collected quite a bit of Ghoul saliva containing geno components, since those passengers are already dead, we can just borrow their identities."
With gray-patterned Tentacles piercing into Sally’s body,
Her skin gradually transford into a gelatinous Ghoul skin, even growing graveyard moss, and the claws growing from her fingertips beca exceptionally sharp.
Although Sally was very opposed to such a disguise, she was quite happy to endure Han Dong’s personal modification.
Regarding the city gate’s inspection, it was indeed strict but mainly focused on one aspect.
Having already grasped information related to the undercurrent, a special demon called ’Spinal Body’ was identified.
mbers of the Gear Secret Teaching guarding the city gate would perform ’spinal verification’ on entrants - inserting a large syringe into the spine to extract a small amount of spinal fluid for verification.
"These are your temporary identity cards.
Due to the current extraordinary period, a force of dark currents that can threaten our foundation is infiltrating Zothique Continent.
Thus, your activities in Zurbaha cannot exceed three days.
If you fail to leave the city and return the identity cards by then, you will be listed as suspected infiltrators and executed on the spot."
"Alright, we’ll leave after selling our goods."
Han Dong pretended to drag a bag of Corpse Skull as if he were a Businessman and entered the city together with Sally.
Upon stepping into Zurbaha.
The keenly perceptive duo simultaneously felt an oppressive force from the city’s center, from deep underground... even a delusion that the body and soul were being devoured.
This feeling, Han Dong was all too familiar with.
During his first outing, under the protection of the Behemoth Knight Group conducting special training at Stuart Manor.
Unexpectedly drawing M.O.’s personal descent.
Now, reflecting on it evokes so confusion.
Considering Han Dong’s current world view, no matter how devout that Lord Stuart was, self-sacrifice alone shouldn’t suffice to summon M.O., standing at the pinnacle of the Ghoul.
Either M.O. bears a narrow mind, extrely protective,
Or he descended for other reasons...
If it’s the latter, then there will be topics worth discussing by then.
Thinking of this, Han Dong couldn’t help but feel a bit sentintal,
Previously as an Apprentice Knight, when he first witnessed the existence of the Old King, ’helplessness’ hardly described the situation... tiny, as insignificant as an ant.
This is also why the scene of M.O.’s appearance beca a psychological shadow for a period, with mories of escape vividly etched in mind.
However.
The psychological shadow had long vanished.
The current Han Dong, would face the King with another identity for a direct conversation... as he thought about this, a Mad Laugh expression inevitably erged on his face.
