Reentering the Clock Tower

night.

Han Dong specially asked the Dormitory Administrator to send over three meals.

Having dinner with two Contained Object in the dormitory.

The main purpose was to understand [Togu Gonzalez]... After all, Han Dong brought him into the prison through Forced Containment, and the two were bound together by Master-Servant Relationship, rather than by a 'close friend' relationship like Chen Li's.

Chen Li also seemed somewhat resistant to Togu, and tried to stay close to Han Dong during the meal.

During the meal, Togu ate in the most polite and clean manner.

After eating a huge portion of medium-rare steak.

Togu continued to cut the plate into small pieces, chewed them, and swallowed them.

Finally, even the metal cutlery and the small iron spoon for drinking soup were eaten, keeping everything clean and environmentally friendly.

His pure black eyes were fixed on his plate the whole time, without saying a word. He just sat there 'obediently' in his seat, without making any unnecessary movements.

"Togu, you should be able to understand me, right?"

As Han Dong asked the question, Togu slowly opened his mouth, which was full of sharp teeth, and emitted a series of demonic words from deep in his throat. Because of their Master-Servant Relationship, Han Dong was able to understand them:

"Yes, is there anything you need?"

"As long as we can communicate normally..."

To be honest, Han Dong didn't really want to treat the Contained Object as servants.

Harmonious coexistence is the core philosophy that Han Dong adheres to.

The main issue is that if a good relationship can be established, the Contained Object will do their best to help.

"You can tell me any of your physiological needs. I've heard you enjoy self-whipping, and I can provide you with the tools and the venue... If you need me to do it for you, that's fine too."

Self-flagellation was one of Togu's great hobbies, and when Han Dong pointed it out, his expression changed slightly.

"Thanks."

"We will have the opportunity to go to ' Old Derry Town ' in the future. Whether it's the clown's matter or your own matter, we can find a way to solve it then."

You can tell me any thoughts you have.

As long as it's not something particularly outrageous, we can discuss it.

When talking about "Old Derry Town," Togu remained calm. Because on Consciousness Layer, his concept of 'home' had shifted.

Now, cell number two is his home.

"Thank you." Togu's expression remained unchanged.

Han Dong gestured for Chen Li to go back to the prison to rest first.

"I'll test your physical strength in the room tonight."

Using rather tactful words, he found an iron chain, closed the dormitory doors and windows... and prepared to use 'hobbies' to bring the two closer.

After an hour of continuous 'iron whip massage', Han Dong received a notification from his brain about the change in intimacy level.

Setting aside the Master-Servant Relationship.

Han Dong's relationship with Togu has changed to 'neutral'.

The next day.

Having regained his sleepiness, Han Dong rushed to the Stargazing Room early in the morning to discuss matters of 'personal destiny' with Mr. Black and White.

Door Opening.

Upon arriving, Han Dong immediately inquired whether the clock tower could pinpoint Destiny Event.

"It's not possible. Although the [Clock Tower] can control the way the Gate of Destiny is entered to a certain extent and can create props to help pass the Destiny Event... it cannot intervene at the 'subjective level'."

However, there's something that can help you.

Mr. Black and White held the power card that Han Dong had just obtained.

"Since the ' Destiny Card ' can help you choose any Destiny Event with a difficulty level of (★★) or lower, I can take you to the [Clock Tower] to check if the event background you want is available for Knight-Errant with a difficulty level of two stars or lower."

"Thank you, Mr. Black and White."

"Hmm... this can also be considered included in your 'wish'."

However, the clock tower's specialness and importance even surpasses that of the entire Royal Knights Academy... Even ordinary knights are forbidden from entering the clock tower's inner chambers.

"I'm taking you there this time. You're not allowed to speak the entire time; just follow me."

"Good!"

Han Dong himself was also very curious about the Clock Tower, as both the mysterious "Clock Master" and the Clockwork Device with countless derivative functions were directly related to the Clock Tower.

The true nature of the clock tower may be a major secret of the Holy City.

"Mr. Black and White, is there a risk that my secret will be leaked?"

If there's any risk, I can wait for the results outside the clock tower.

"It is precisely because there are risks that I want to personally take you to the cabinet."

First, it establishes your teacher-student relationship with me; second, it grants you direct access to the Destiny Space from the Clock Master... If the Clock Master later receives you privately and discovers your secret, that would be the real trouble.

Honestly, your "wish" is a bit excessive; it will cost me a lot.

"Thank you, Mr. Black and White."

"Come with me."

Before setting off, Mr. Black and White changed into White Mask.

A sense of ethereal energy wafted over, and this completely unfamiliar feeling made Han Dong very uncomfortable.

All Han Dong knew and was familiar with was Mr. Black and White, who wore a black mask.

In front of the clock tower.

Mr. Black and White seems to have made contact with the inside through a special means.

One by one, the copper steam pipes slowly rose.

The Clock Master, wearing Vortex Mask, stepped out. His aura seemed different from the Han Dong had seen last time... It was very likely the real person.

"Mr. White!"

"Tommy."

When they meet, they greet each other by name and give each other a polite hug.

After Mr. Black and White explained the situation, the Clockkeeper considered for Clock Master and then led the two into the inner cabinet area of the clock tower.

We arrived at the center of the clock tower via a mysterious gear elevator that changed positions multiple times.

"Mr. White, let's pretend that your visit to the clock tower today, and the fact that this student entered the Destiny Space alone, never happened... After all, such a special solo event would cause me trouble if reported."

Let's treat this as a private matter.

"Thank you, Tommy."

"I still have great faith in Mr. White's 'judgment'."

After saying that, the Clock Master turned his head toward Han Dong, sensing that the Vortex Mask seemed to be hiding a smile.

Mid-level cabinet.

A unique crystal room, with walls covered with gear clocks of various styles.

As the Clock Master moves the hands of all the clocks, making them point to a specific position.

Click click click~

A crystal platform rose from the center of the room, upon which rested an ancient, thick book, about the size of an encyclopedia... This book recorded all the background names in the Destiny Space.

Its origins, besides being related to the clock tower, are also attributed to the Holy City Writers Association.

The Clock Master turns to the corresponding page in the book.

"This part corresponds to the (Seed Stage) event background of two-star difficulty and below."

"Thanks."

Accompanied by Mr. Black and White, Han Dong began to quickly flip through the books.

Han Dong's scanning speed surprised the two seniors.

It can scan two pages of text in a second, allowing you to purposefully search for the information you want.

"Found it!!"

This is your last chance to guess! What exactly does Han Dong need? The answer will be revealed tomorrow.
