My Cell Prison

Chapter 449: Chapter 449: Plague Incident

The mask was put back on.

Everything returned to normal.

“I will talk about this matter privately with Captain Kaimon and Vice Principal Hera.

The specific departure time is probably set at the end of your third year or the start of your fourth year.

It may be that the Knight Regiment secretly escorts you to the mountains, or maybe it’s a special training trip. You three may even have to figure out how to get there by yourselves.

In any case, you must be well-prepared before leaving.

This is an extremely important opportunity. If handled well, it could solve the biggest hidden danger currently in the Holy City.”

As soon as Mr. Black White finished speaking, he disappeared.

As Abe did not participate in the “Secret Stone incident”, he was somewhat puzzled as to why Mr. Black White personally took charge of his Breaking the Breed issue, and simultaneously, Han Dong and Dumps were also involved.

Han Dong spoke with a very certain tone, “Since this has been decided by our teacher, we three shall leave the city together when the time comes, and head to Mount Adlaga.”

“Is the there a problem with the Writer’s Association?” Abe asked.

“It’s only our teacher’s unilateral suspicion. He still can’t come up with any evidence… Let’s pretend that nothing happened and approach this event as normal, with the goal of facilitating your Breaking the Breed.

By that time, our teacher should provide us with some guidance behind the scenes.”

“Okay…”

“Abe, since you’ve taken a few days of leave, how about coming with me to the College of Mysticism? We can exchange ideas and it might help you stabilize the ‘beast’ inside of you.”

Han Dong invited Abe, as he also needed an opponent of a similar level to spar with for training.

“Alright! Anything’s fine so long as I don’t have to return to the Knight Regiment.”

“Dumps, are you coming?”

“I’ll pass…I need to go back to the library to prepare. I’ll contact you guys when I’m free.”

Dumps seemed to have something on his mind.

“Well, if that’s the case. Anyway, there’s plenty of time to prepare. We probably have to wait a few more months before we leave the city.”

Han Dong and Abe left the room one after another.

Dumps was left alone in front of the map, staring at the mountain area marked as [CH.F], his look not very pleasant.

“[Mother]warned me many times not to get close to these mountains…Apart from being under the jurisdiction of this Old God, there must be some other secrets hidden here.

Mr. Black White really has a good plan, trying to use me and Nicholas to provoke the people in the Writer’s Association to show their true colors.

If this thing is not handled carefully, I will fall into the Endless Abyss.

But…I can’t seem to reject Mr. Black White either.”

Unable to think of the best solution.

An anxious Dumps began to frequently scratch his body with his sixth finger, knocking off layers of skin onto the ground.

“As expected of the prophet of the Holy City, he probably predicted all of this long ago.

The ‘big thing’ hidden in the Writer’s Association certainly isn’t simple, which is why Mr. Black White couldn’t find any evidence related to this person, even from the high-profile Secret Stone incident.

This time’s event is bound to be extremely dangerous. I’d better focus on my own training for a while…and think about setting up some escape measures, just to be prepared.”

Dumps took a deep breath, got dressed, and set off.

He was not heading to the library, but to the third layer of Holy City.

Three months earlier, Dumps had received an invitation from a knight regiment, earning him the right to train with them…

…

At present, Han Dong and the others were in the first term of their third year.

The time to leave the city had been arranged for the end of the third year or the start of the fourth year, leaving a half-year gap for everyone to prepare thoroughly.

As Han Dong was his ‘lifeline’,

Whenever Abe couldn’t handle things in the Knight Regiment, he would find an excuse to rush to Han Dong’s place to seek ‘refuge’.

Han Dong also seized this opportunity to engage in real combat training with Abe.

It must be said, Abe’s fighting skills combined with his beast-like nature was quite terrifying.

He could dodge or block various magic spells by changing his form, and instantly switch to a terrifying berserk wolf or power bear stance during close combat to put pressure on Han Dong.

Each time they sparred, both of them made significant gains.

Also,

During one trip to his manor outside the city, Han Dong asked the Elder Crows about Mount Adlaga and the meaning of [CH.F].

The opinions of the Crowman Elders were all unanimous, they advised Han Dong to never approach this domain of the Old King…

They said that the Old King had a strong desire to invade humanity.

Moreover, there were unspeakable dangers hidden within Mount Adlaga… but their crow tribe had never left the Gaine Forest, so they were unclear about the specific situation within the mountain area.

…

And so, half a year passed.

With only a month left until the end of Han Dong and his team’s third year.

But Mr. Black White still hadn’t sent any news about leaving the city.

During this long waiting and preparation period, something happened.

Early in the morning, Han Dong, who had just woken up from the [Old Sewers], suddenly received an urgent message from the National Royal Academy of Knights… It’s quite rare for such urgent messages to be sent to all apprentice knights.

“All apprentice knights should go to the Integrated Office of their respective academies to pick up an urgent task. This task cannot be refused. Once received, please execute it immediately.”

“Hmm? What’s so urgent?”

Han Dong arrived at the student work office within the Dark Moon Tower via the elevator.

The floor was already packed with students from the College of Mysticism.

“Nicholas, you’re so slow!”

It wasn’t long before Han Dong was stuck in the crowd when two slender arms hooked onto him.

“Mia, what’s going on?”

“Don’t you know? About a week ago, a special disease broke out in the commoner district… The initial infected ones were a few homeless people.

Who would have thought that within just two days, the disease spread throughout several streets.

Currently, the Knight Regiment has quarantined the entire infected area. The area covered is huge, involving tens of thousands of people… All available manpower, including us apprentice knights, is needed to manage the quarantine zone.”

“Hmm!? It’s not just a common disease, right?”

Han Dong knew very well that the medical knowledge of this era was quite lacking.

However, magic could step in to handle medical diseases. For example, the Plague Studies that Han Dong mastered could directly immunize a huge portion of bacterial and viral infections — he would hardly get sick.

Even if a highly infectious disease broke out in the commoner district, if a few knights skilled in this area stepped in, it should be controlled within a short time and not evolve into a [quarantine zone].

“No… We won’t know the specific situation until we accept the task and report to the corresponding knight squad.

But, I heard that in the early stages of infection, the infected individuals will be covered in red rashes, and in the late stages, they will become extremely bloodthirsty, or even grow some weird stuff.

Hehe! It sounds quite thrilling… Moreover, this urgent task gives out a nice reward. Let’s give it our all!”

“Okay.”

A hint of doubt flickered in Han Dong’s eyes.

When such uncontrollable large-scale events occur in the Holy City, his first thought usually goes to the chairman of the Writer’s Association.

“Let’s first see what’s really going on.”
