My Cell Prison-Chapter 448 - : Tough Attitude

Chapter 448: Chapter 448: Tough Attitude

Soon, an older parchment map was moved out of Dumps’ bedroom.

“I asked for this map from Miss Hera… After all, the circulation of maps is forbidden in the Holy City, and only special departments or a very few individuals who have obtained permits can display maps.

As for the reason, there’s no need to say more.

This map was supplanted from the cartography room of the library due to its outdatedness, and I asked for it back. It has about fifteen years of history by now.

Although the ownership of some parts of the land on the map has changed, it overall remains the same.

Regarding this map, please do not disclose to others… or else, I might be jailed.”

This is a small map (300km×300km) centered around the Holy City.

When the map is fully unfolded.

The Holy City is in the center of the map, covering approximately 1/10 of the area.

The rich Gaine Forest surrounding occupies 1/3 of the map area.

The Adlaga Mountains are located in the north of the map, about 113 kilometers away from the Holy City… The target area of Captain Abe is even further, close to the edge of the map.

One thing to take note of is, apart from drawing basic symbols for forests, canyons, mountains, etc., the map also uses a very obvious shiny black boundary line to outline some special areas.

This includes Stuart Manor.

Since this is an old version of the map, the ownership of the area has not been updated yet.

The manor area is imprinted with twisted white characters, the same abbreviated symbol “M.O.” that Han Dong is familiar with.

“The areas specially marked are the king’s territories, each with a ‘land deed’… such as the Stuart Manor we visited during our last training session.

And some parts of the Adlaga Mountains that Captain Abe is going to also belong to the ‘king’s terrain’.”

On the map, a small part of the Adlaga Mountains are separated by black lines, filled with bright red abbreviated characters – “CH.F.”

Clearly corresponding to abbreviations of some old king’s name.

“If it involves a ‘land deed’, it implies that there are some hidden evils, and groups of wild beasts in the Adlaga Mountains, under the direct rule of a certain king.

The target of Captain Abe may very likely be the guardian of the land deed.

Of course, if you are going to be escorted by the Behemoth Knight Group throughout the whole journey, and the members of the knight group will clear all obstacles for you… you only need to confront this demon.”

“Hmm… my grandfather has given me related information. Once I’m ready, the knight group will escort me there.”

Captain Abe’s words clearly weren’t very confident.

At this moment, Han Dong who was seriously studying the map suddenly said:

“It’s a bit strange… could it be that at this very moment, a demon that matches Abe’s attribute was born around the Holy City.”

Han Dong didn’t believe that such a coincidence could happen.

Of course, this suspicion is based on the problem of the chairman of the Writer’s Association.

Moreover, Han Dong has long let the Crow tribe carry out a comprehensive search of Gaine Forest. The demon information obtained so far comes in three pieces, none of which are relevant to his abilities.

Each demon is unique, it’s not easy to find a newly born demon that matches one’s attribute.

“Indeed it is a bit coincidental.” Dumps also agrees with Han Dong’s opinion.

Han Dong was preparing to propose to everyone to visit the Mysterious Department. This matter involves the deliberate chairman of the Writers Guild, and Mr. Black White will naturally pay attention… If Mr. Black White says there is no problem, then Han Dong and others also do not need to worry too much.

Just at this moment.

A crow flew in from the window.

It magically turned into the form of Mr. Black White.

Seeing this, the three immediately bowed their heads in respect… they were also surprised as to why Mr. Black White would come here personally.

“Miss Hera is willing to risk giving you this map, it seems she values you highly.”

“Haha…”

Dumps gave an awkward smile, as he too had used a lot of ‘effort’ to get this.

“Let’s settle on this, both of you will assist Captain Abe and go to Alagard Mountain.”

“Huh?” The three of them didn’t understand.

“Just as you suspected, there are problems with this matter, but it is also a rare opportunity… and only the three of you have the ability to handle it.”

“Mr. Black White, are you planning on!?”

Mr. Black White waved his hand, and the shadows enclosed Dumps’ bedroom completely, to avoid any eavesdropping from the other side of the wall.

“If others are giving gifts willingly, wanting to involve Abe… then let’s play along, but it will be the three of you acting together.

After accepting their ‘gift,’ use this opportunity to dig deeper, and counterspy the true identity of who gave the gift.

Your three ‘weaknesses’ can make the person behind the scenes relax their guard.

If you can identify the insider from the Writer’s Association, I guarantee in the name of the Prophet.

Even if you can’t get the reward from the Holy City due to special reasons, in the future you can consult me for a free divination once every year.”

Mr. Black White’s wording was quite vague, Abe didn’t understand some of the issues mentioned, so he was a bit confused… but Han Dong and Dumps clearly understood the risks involved.

Mr. Black White added: “The guy inside the Writer’s Association obviously doesn’t dare to leave the Holy City, what you need to do is, follow the normal procedures, go with Captain Abe to Mount Adlaga, deal with the newly born demon in the information.

During this process, unexpected situations may occur, you need to adapt quickly, find ways to figure out who exactly is planning all this from behind.

Even if you can get a small clue, it’s a success.

Moreover, you will also gain something from this process.”

“Mr. Black White… What exactly is on the mountain?” Dumps never does anything without assurance, he will decisively refuse if the situation is too dangerous.

“I can’t see the whole picture of the areas covered by the ‘land deed’ with my astrology.

However, I can see that this event will cause a significant ‘change’ in the three of you… If you can handle it well, the Holy City’s stance will also change for the better because of you.”

As this situation happened suddenly, many details were unearthed, and the danger level was also unexpected, Dumps seemed hesitant about what decision to make.

“I… I need to consult with Miss Hera.”

Just at this moment.

Mr. Black White suddenly took off his mask.

Gagagaga~

Countless crows flew out from under the mask.

They immediately transformed the current student accommodation area into a “Buried Bones” area.

At the same time, they isolated Abe.

While gazing at Mr. Black White’s face presently covered by endless darkness, cold sweat broke out on Dumps’ back.

“My ‘protection’ does not come without a price.

Prove your knighthood spirit, prove your determination to fight for human freedom.

Exchange something of equal value in return.

Besides, the dirty fellows in the Writer’s Association value the two of you highly, and if such a significant threat cannot be eliminated, you will sooner or later face problems.”

Feeling endless fear and pressure, Dumps, without any hesitation, immediately knelt down on one knee.

“I will do my utmost to complete this event.”

Han Dong who was by the side was also a bit surprised, it was his first time seeing Mr. Black White this firm, as if he was certain that the three of them had to cooperate, and seemed to believe that only the three of them could solve this matter.
