Leaving the City

Holy City - Mysticism Department - Dark Moon Tower.

The uniquely streamlined carriage had been waiting at the door for a long time.

Mr. Black and White traveled to the clock tower in a horse-drawn carriage.

The purpose was solely to check on Han Dong's situation.

When observing Han Dong's long-term destiny using astrology, an extremely rare 'dotted line area' appeared, and there was even a 'wireless area'.

This means that during the Destiny Event, Han Dong had a special experience that even Mr. Black and White could not glean any information about.

"Mr. White, are you here in person to pick up your student?"

When the carriage arrived at the bottom of the clock tower, the Clock Master also came to the door to greet it.

The White Mask on Mr. Black and White's face showed a puzzled expression. "Something is wrong. Seed Stage of Destiny Event, there was a period when I couldn't see anything at all."

"Oh!? Can single-player mode still give him a chance to travel to a higher plane?"

"Hopefully this kid won't have any major problems... Often, students who accidentally step into higher-level spaces during their Knight-Errant stage, even if they manage to come out alive, will carry some aftereffects or psychological trauma."

Once it is detected that his mental state has been deeply traumatized or affected, the only option left is to abandon his training.

"They seem to have come out. Let's go in and talk. If people find out I let your student get in through the back door, things won't go well for me."

The Clock Master took Mr. Black and White's hand and led him to the inner office of the clock tower.

Meanwhile, Han Dong, who had just emerged from the Gate of Destiny, also arrived at the corresponding room.

"Huh!? Teacher, what brings you here?"

Han Dong was walking along the clock tower passage, thinking he would step out of the clock tower in one step.

Unexpectedly, he stepped into the Clock Master's office.

Moreover, Mr. Black and White was standing with the Clock Master.

"Nicholas, because you entered a high-level area that did not belong to the event itself during the Destiny Event, you need to undergo a deep brain examination to eliminate any potential risks."

"Good!"

Han Dong looked slightly surprised.

I never imagined that Mr. Black and White would know about my journey into the higher realms within the Destiny Space.

"This is not a good thing... There are great risks involved in leapfrogging into higher-level worlds."

Having a high position can have a profound, lifelong, and indelible effect on you.

This condition is similar to PTSD and is also known as "permanent fate stress disorder".

What appears to be a normal Destiny Event will actually affect the mindset and behavior of the affected player, potentially even harming the Holy City... and permanently disqualify them from becoming a knight.

Those with serious offenses may face permanent imprisonment.

"Okay... please check it, teacher."

The current Mr. Black and White is a relatively unfamiliar "white face".

A glimpse of starlight flashed before Han Dong's eyes; the test was complete.

"Hmm... no problem."

Mr. Black and White immediately wrote down the detected data on the report to avoid the council personnel having to come and conduct a brain examination on Han Dong in person.

"Since there's nothing else, come back with me... It's quite good to be able to enter the [Seed Breaking Stage] ahead of schedule."

Regarding the selection of targets for the breakthrough, you can figure it out yourself, or you can contact me.

In addition, Commander Kaimon's grandson is also preparing for seed breaking recently. You can discuss it privately when you have time... Seed breaking is not as simple as killing a creature outside the city; the preliminary preparations are extremely important.

Even Though Bai Mian, who initially didn't think much of Han Dong, gave Han Dong extremely high praise at this moment.

Gaining three Destiny Points in one go during Destiny Event is no joke... Very few people in the entire Holy City can do it.

Moreover, after entering the high-level world, Han Dong's thinking was not affected in any way; on the contrary, he was in a completely relaxed state.

This stands in stark contrast to some Knight-Errant once fiercely screamed to break free from the Destiny Space and went insane.

"Alright! Thank you, sir... You and the Clock Master are old friends, you must have something to talk about. I won't disturb you any longer, I'll wait outside the gate."

Han Dong was very astute and made a very correct decision at that moment.

Such an action would win the favor of both 'White Face' and the Clock Master... After all, the Clock Master had already explained the extraordinary relationship between the two.

"Hmm..." Bai Mian nodded, his liking for Han Dong as a student increasing considerably.

"Phew... I'm finally back!"

Step out of the clock tower.

The air I breathed wasn't as fresh as the air in the Destiny Space, but it was the familiar smell, the smell of home.

The node has been leased out again.

[Deep-Ones - Nicole Little Paw] has become the Third Prisoner.

"Wow! Is this the world you live in, Your Lord Emissary? Is this strange building called a clock tower? Those two people just now looked very strong. What is their relationship with you, Your Excellency? Are we going to Your Excellency's residence now? Can you let me out?"

A series of questions came to Han Dong's mind, giving him a headache.

"I can't let you out yet... As for the reason, you'll find out once I leave the city."

"When will the Lord Emissary leave the city? Once he leaves, I can come out, right?"

"Hmm... I'll leave the city as soon as I've taken care of some things."

"Good."

If Nicole is released carelessly, the consequences will be unimaginable.

When Mr. Black and White emerged from the bottom of the clock tower, his mask had already turned back to its familiar black.

"Good!"

Mr. Black and White's hand landed on Han Dong's shoulder, and a smiley face engraving appeared on the mask.

"This will give you two years to prepare for the [breakthrough], allowing you to find the best solution... Hop on board!"

"Sir, I would like to go directly to the outskirts of the city!"

"Don't you need to rest?"

Han Dong scratched his head. "Hehe... I slept through this whole Destiny Event, so I didn't feel tired at all."

A dream in the true sense of the word.

To date, Han Dong has very few remaining memories of "The Mist".

It was as if he had taken a long nap in the Destiny Space, and with his main and minor cultivation reaching a saturation point, Han Dong's Mental State was exceptionally good.

"Alright... I'll also visit your estate. I can offer some advice on your weapon ideas."

Mr. Black and White had foreseen that Han Dong was in a hurry to leave the city, partly because of the manufacture of weapons.

"Thank you, sir."

As the carriage had just left the Holy City, Mr. Black and White said:

"Release the little girl inside you who wants to come out..."

"Yes." Since Mr. Black and White had already named Nicole, Han Dong saw no need to hide her Nicole.

Tick-tock...

Some Seawater dripped into the carriage.

Nicole appeared as a series of tentacles landed on the leather seat.

but...

When Nicole saw the 'eternal night' scene outside the car window, she was immediately stunned, as memories that had been sealed away were slowly being revealed.

Mr. Black and White chuckled to himself:

"It's quite rare that you brought a [Family] out of the Destiny Space."
