Theft Operation

Dr. Swollen rummaged through the drawer and found an exquisite scroll, which he then handed to Han Dong.

"This is a map of the castle. I have marked each area with Numeric Symbol. How to enter and the corresponding officers are written on the back of the scroll... I believe you will find it useful."

"Hmm! You're not bad!"

If it weren't for the fact that the doctor's head was somewhat swollen and soft, Han Dong would have really wanted to pat him on the head and praise him.

"By the way, Doctor, do you have any way to obtain the 'land deed' in advance?"

Han Dong wanted to make his move ahead of time.

If they complete the training camp normally and kill the Great Ghoul - Lord Stuart... such an important "land deed" would likely be handled by the Knight Order, rather than something these Knight-Errant could interfere with.

Once the Knight Order obtain the "land deed," this area will be forcibly occupied.

The gift that the Yellow Robe Mysterious Person had given to Han Dong was now handed over to someone else... The manor would inevitably be purified by the Knight Order.

Han Dong attaches great importance to the [Ghoul Factory].

With the help of Dr. Swollen, Han Dong's experimental assistant, once he acquires ownership, he can create a laboratory that belongs exclusively to him.

The Yellow Robe Mysterious Person was right; we should be prepared for danger even in times of peace.

Even with Mr. Black and White taking care of Han Dong.

But the most powerful authority in the Holy City is not Mr. Black and White, but the Council...

If one day the secret is exposed and the Holy City is no longer Han Dong's safe haven... or even if a bounty is placed on Han Dong's head, then it will be very necessary to have a residence of his own outside the city.

When asked about obtaining the "land title" in advance, the doctor looked completely bewildered.

"Acquiring the land title in advance... that's quite difficult."

The "land deed" was kept the Depths within the castle vault by the Grand Lord, and its value was greater than the Grand Lord's life.

Without the help of the Grand Lord, it would be impossible to enter the treasury, let alone obtain the "land deeds" within.

Have you ever been to the treasure vault?

"I've never been there... because the treasure vault's entrance is located in a very hidden place, I've never even seen the entrance."

"Do you have any clue how to open the treasure vault?"

"No, the vault seems to have been built specifically to store 'land deeds'... The Grand Lord has kept this information very tightly under wraps; we have absolutely no clue about it."

"We do have some clues."

Han Dong unrolled the map scroll.

"You said the 'land deed' was more valuable than the Grand Lord's life... right?"

The doctor nodded. "That's right, the 'land title' and the symbol of the old king."

"That's the clue."

Even if such an important item were stored in a 'safe enough' place, the Grand Lord might not feel at ease... since it was more important than his life.

Regular inspections are a given; he might even need to see the land title in person to feel at ease.

Where does the Grand Lord spend most of his time? In his bedroom?

Dr. Swollen points to the central section of the castle map - the [Main Hall].

"The Grand Lord's 'seat' is located here, and for health or other reasons, he always remains in the Main Hall and never leaves."

Upon hearing this information, Han Dong smiled to himself.

Isn't this a clue?

"Doctor, you should be able to control Ghoul to do things for you, right? If I gave you a day, could you replicate the [Main Hall] using a specific space in the Underground Area? What percentage of the replica would you achieve?"

"A day is enough. I can use some excuse to see the Grand Lord and scan the Main Hall with the Detection Device... up to 99%."

Upon hearing this, Han Dong took out a prop from his pocket.

The living prop brought out from the Destiny Space - "Parasitite".

"This is?"

"A Parasitic Worm that can enhance an individual should be useful in Ghoul enhancement research."

"This is good stuff!"

"Do a good job for me, and I'll bring you even better things in the future."

"Thank you, Your Lord Emissary..."

Han Dong plopped down in the doctor's office chair. "Doctor, do you have any information about the 'Matrix'?"

"There are... documents in the bottom drawer. The documents are Top Secret of the manor. I only have these documents because I am in charge of the Ghoul research... Please try not to take the documents out, otherwise my identity may be exposed."

Dr. Swollen, seeing that he would Lord Emissary, naturally didn't want to die.

"Don't worry, I won't make any mistakes... Just do as I ask."

"Good!

"My lord, whatever service you require, please speak with the 'heretics' outside the door. They are entirely under my control... and have nothing to do with the Grand Lord."

"Good."

The Dr. Swollen changed into a more formal outfit, but his genitals were still tentacled... The doctor himself originated from pagans, but his extraordinary brain made him stand out from the crowd and become a superior "Outcast".

After the doctor left, Han Dong took out the [Matrix] data and placed it together with the unfolded map.

"The plan to steal the 'land deeds' must not be known to anyone... If there is a shortage of manpower, Mia can be asked to help at most."

This will require some Brain Cells.

Han Dong immediately entered a state of serious thought.

With his left hand flipping through the data on the parent organization, and his right hand outlining certain areas on the map with a pencil, he had to consider every detail and formulate a meticulous plan with each link in between.

The Grand Lord has lived in the castle for over two hundred years; no one knows it better than him. Any flaw could lead to mission failure.

late at night.

The basement area of the residence.

The handsome young man, Demps, arrived here alone, carrying a kerosene lamp.

Staring at the wall that showed signs of tampering, and noticing the fluctuations in the magical traps he had left behind, it was clear that someone had been here...

Just as he was about to tear down the wall and go inside to investigate.

Click-clack~~

A sound of hard shell colliding with stone came from behind.

The Spider Woman climbed down the ceiling and into the basement as well.

"Demps, where are you going?"

"The Vice Captain seems to have been here before, and was somehow led into the underground passage... I'm going to check on the Vice Captain's safety."

Mia had absolutely no interest in this handsome young man... her mind was only on Han Dong.

"Strange... If that's the case, shouldn't we report it directly to the captain and have everyone mobilize together?"

You spent One Hour in that venomous old woman's room today; have you become her lackey... investigating the Vice Captain's secrets for her?"

The word "lackey" caused Demps's expression to change slightly.

In a short time.

The magical barrier in the Underground Area was activated, and some ice crystals floated in the air.

Mia, who was perched on the ceiling, immediately turned fierce... seemingly ready to fight this Demps guy.

What are you doing down there?

At a critical moment.

A sound came from the basement entrance.

Han Dong had just returned to his residence from the Street District when he saw magical light coming from the Underground Area, so he went down to take a look.

Upon seeing Han Dong, Mia immediately concealed her fierce demeanor and stayed close to Han Dong.

Demps gently closed the Magic Book and stared kindly at Han Dong, who had just returned from the street.
