Chapter 1033: Chapter 132 Black Road Chapter 1033: Chapter 132 Black Road “You should probably get down and walk on your own.”
Han Dong’s words carried an oppressive force, causing Maritzis to slide off his back.
“You…”
Before Mary could even speak, Han Dong’s sowhat serious voice directly entered her head:
“This adventurous journey is undertaken in my na to London City.
Miss Mary, acting like this would make the Dark Denizens doubt my identity… Since you’re accompanying on this trip, you need to abandon the customs of Toad City and adopt those of our human kind or of the Dark Denizens in London City.”
“Ah? Then what should I do?”
“Don’t keep bringing up ‘mating’ at the drop of a hat.
At least among us humans, mating is the ultimate ceremony between the opposite sex… You need to start from the very basic concept of friendship first.”
“That complicated? Among us Toad Demons, there’s no such hassle. If we take a liking to soone of the opposite sex, we capture them to mate first, and then decide whether to develop into common friends.”
“…” Han Dong was rendered speechless before adding, “Then don’t you have a lot of friends?”
“Pfft! The Lord of Perugia has not a single friend, okay? Just a bunch of subordinates… Besides, my mating list only includes you.”
“When in Ro, do as the Romans do. You’d best start changing the notions you have from Toad City.”
“I’ll reluctantly take your advice this ti.”
Left to digest the supplies on her own, this Black Goat Progeny caused Maritzis to reach 100% satiation, making her appear rather slick and smooth.
Guided by the young miner, the group quickly left the Dark Forest behind.
Before them lay a vast basin area.
Shedding the darkness of the Dark Forest, the basin was no longer completely enshrouded in darkness.
This faint glow ca from the “Unnad Fog” that obscured the sky… Even though it was the Eternal Night State, the fog mixed traces of starlight from distant stars, slightly illuminating the ground below.
According to the rumors among Demons.
The light from these distant stars indicated the presence of an Upper Old King on the planet’s surface.
It was akin to the eyes of the Upper Old King, constantly monitoring the dynamics on Earth.
This also gave Han Dong and Maritzis, erging from the Dark Forest, a feeling akin to the ‘break of dawn.’
The basin before them bore obvious signs of artificial modification.
Han Dong and the others walked on a spacious stone road paved with oblong black bricks.
Every hundred ters, a cast-iron lamppost stood on either side of the road,
with a conical base and a patterned surface,
and at the top was engraved the common visage of the “Black Goat Mother,” like that of a veiled beautiful lady (whose veil, under the cover of the candlelight, cast floating tentacles),
within the spherical hollow lamp holders stood black candles,
and true to the candles’ color, the light they emitted was equally black.
Such fla brought not the warm glow of yellow light but a pure “Dark Candlelight,” which dispelled all sources of light within a twenty-ter radius, then the effect halved every ten ters thereafter.
Because of the “black lampposts.”
This black road was essentially shrouded in absolute darkness… advantageously catering to the movent of the Dark Denizens, the transport of miners, as well as the travels of so rchant caravans.
Moreover.
Han Dong didn’t waste anything.
Since the mining crew had extracted four carts of ore, Han Dong then used the Tentacles to lead the mine cart, which might serve a certain role upon entering the city.
…
“Such fascinating design… While it’s based on ‘darkness’, the design of these roads, the style of the street lamps, and the identities of these miners along with the style of the mine carts, bear resemblance to our humanity.
In that regard,
Perugia City under the command of the Gray Walker is quite similar; the Lord of Perugia has a fondness for human art, using it as bait to tempt other Demons to co.
But to a large extent, it still retains human relics, continuing the use of artistic forms left by mankind.
It seems that the Gray Walker is quite interested in humans? To the extent that the Demons under his command have so degree of connection with humans, at least on a foundational level.
The Expeditionary Army would still need a long ti to reach here; that should be enough for to understand…”
Han Dong then turned to look at the miner following by his side, who was respectfully attentive.
“What is your na.”
“Phineas Dark Lamp! Sir, you can call ‘Lamp’… I am mainly responsible for creating darkness and unleashing it, providing a stable domain of darkness for the squad mbers, enhancing their powers.”
“Interesting na, I have also encountered opponents related to lamps before.
Briefly tell about the current situation in London City. Since the Black Goat Progeny are here, there are probably other Demons lurking in the Dark Forest… Why is this so?”
Han Dong might not fully understand the rules among Demons, but even if the relations between Demon powers were fraught with chaos, when invaders from other world planes, or even those who had almost led to world destruction, arrived, everyone should be on the sa side, rather than engaging in such internal strife.
The Dark Lamp miner asked in a low voice, “Sir, you should know about the ‘Participants Incident’ that happened in London City, right?”
“Hmm… I ca here from Perugia City specifically after hearing about that incident.
However, I do not know the specifics of the ‘Participants Incident’.”
“The participants are dead, their corpses are being studied… What they are studying and to what use, I, as a miner, do not know.”
“What? The participants’ mission failed?”
“Hmm… Although ‘Fate’ had tailored a set of rules for them for London City, these people died for so reason midway.
It was shortly after these Outsiders died,
that ssengers with superficial ‘friendliness’ but actually wanting to get their hands on the corpses rushed to London City. After discovering their intentions, the birth mother herself ordered a forced expulsion of these ssengers with special motives and placed London City in a ‘Level III Lockdown’ state.
Following that, other areas surrounding the Dark Forest saw the ergence of ‘Demons’ with malevolent intent, attacking miners, assaulting caravans, or intercepting ssengers flowing out from London City.”
“I see… So, it seems the problem might lie with these corpses.
Or perhaps there is so information that you common citizens are not privy to.”
“Sir, with your status, you can surely speak directly with the birth mother, and you will naturally understand then.”
At that mont, Han Dong suddenly split his mouth into a smile that even the darkness trembled at.
Ha ha ha ah~
The Laughter invaded the miner’s brain like a nano-level virus.
“Rember, I am just an ordinary visitor, my identity must remain absolutely secret, and my will cos from the Gray Walker.”
“Yes!”
With that, Han Dong’s identity would never be divulged by this miner.
Should he harbor any thoughts of revealing secrets, even if induced by soone else… the Mad Laugh Virus would imdiately destroy the mory area, eradicating all information.
“So matters must be investigated from the Dark Side… If the truth behind the ‘Invasion Incident’ cannot be clarified, it will also affect the ultimate goal of the Expeditionary Army.”
