Nighttime Meeting

Han Dong knew very well that the 'friend' Demps was referring to was someone outside the city.

Han Dong looked puzzled. "The purpose of issuing Invitation Letter is simply to invite all kinds of beings to the manor to drink the [Blood Brew], which is to indirectly win over other forces and make them become members of the Scarlet Villa."

"By the way, why are all these Invitation Letter being sent to the Holy City?"

Mia suddenly remembered something and immediately continued:

"Oh, right! The witch told me something the other day. The entire knight squad went missing while conducting an investigation outside the city."

It seems their destination is the Adalaga Mountains you mentioned.

The information Mia provided was extremely important.

"Blood brew can grant powerful strength to any life form, and humans are no exception."

If the missing knight squad is related to "Scarlet Villa," perhaps one of the knights was forcibly injected with blood, causing extraordinary changes... Therefore, these madmen thought of sending Invitation Letter to the Holy City, hoping that Human Knight could participate in the "Red Banquet."

Of course, the Crimson Invasion must also be related to the 'traitor' within the Holy City.

Demps pointed to the Invitation Letter. "What are you planning to do with this?"

Han Dong clasped his hands together and rested them on his chin. "We'll see... I estimate that quite a few people will receive such Invitation Letter."

Based on the current situation, it's speculated that killing "minions" might drop Invitation Letter.

These servants are hidden in secret locations within the plague zone, and they are quite powerful themselves.

Only knights whose reconnaissance abilities and strength meet the required standards can potentially kill the enemy and obtain Invitation Letter.

Is this a screening mechanism deliberately set up by the Scarlet Villa? Only those who meet the criteria can receive Invitation Letter?

I imagine that a number of knights will also receive Invitation Letter.

The Knight Order might make a move once the incident is over... We'll see then.

Demps seemed to have discerned something from Han Dong's words and actions.

"Vice Captain, you don't actually want to go to ' Scarlet Villa,' do you?"

Han Dong nodded in agreement, "I am indeed quite interested in [Blood Brew]."

Furthermore, we have accepted Mr. Black and White's commission and will inevitably travel to the Adalaga Mountains... If all goes as expected, Mr. Black and White will contact us once the Plague Incident in the city has subsided.

"That's true..."

Demps has been preparing for months and is ready to leave the city at any time.

Mia looked surprised. "What? Mr. Black and White wants you to go to ' Scarlet Villa '?"

"Pretty much... Are you going, Mia?"

Mia looked embarrassed. Although she really wanted to stay with Han Dong, she was unwilling to take the risk.

"As you know, these crimson life forms have a high resistance to curses, so I might be a bit overwhelmed when dealing with them... Besides, they're still preparing for the Destiny Space, unlike you guys who are already considering breaking their species."

"Yes, what happened today must not be spread..."

"They definitely know, it's just..."

Mia suddenly clung to Han Dong, saying, "The scale of ' Scarlet Villa ' is definitely much larger than ' Stuart Manor,' and its corresponding land deeds should also be of a higher grade... You must be careful, even if it's Nicholas, you might still die."

Ideally, they should travel together with the Knight Order.

You're not allowed to die, or people will be very lonely.

"If you're willing to go, my chances of dying will be lower."

"Ugh, I have my own things to do... otherwise I definitely would have gone. Haha, okay! I suddenly remembered I have to go back to see the witch. In a few days I have to head to the Destiny Space. Bye-bye."

Mia might agree if everyone reaches the level of Formal Knight.

At this stage, she absolutely refused to go to "Scarlet Villa," so to ease the awkwardness, she had to find an excuse to leave.

"Demps, how are the preparations going?"

"Pretty much, it just depends on when Mr. Black and White summons us."

Just as Han Dong had predicted.

With the "Red Plague" incident that occurred in the Slums now resolved.

After the relevant rewards were distributed, Han Dong received a summons from Mr. Black and White, who asked the three outstanding young men to gather in the Stargazing Room.

"What? The Knight Order aren't going to war?"

Han Dong originally thought that since the Crimson Life had caused such a commotion in the Holy City, the council would definitely decide to have the Knight Order directly annihilate the "Scarlet Manor".

"The knights' expedition is not as simple as you think, and with the Great Expedition approaching, now is definitely not the time to waste our troops."

Another important reason is that Scarlet Villa was under the Protection of the Old Kings.

Due to the Old King Incident at the Stuart Manor a year ago, the Holy City is currently being very cautious when considering the areas corresponding to the "land deeds."

Han Dong nodded, "They certainly haven't found out who brought the scarlet life into the city, right?"

"If it were that simple, I wouldn't have gone to such lengths to deal with this traitor... Moreover, the council is currently investigating this mole and has temporarily restricted access to the city gates."

"Restricting people from leaving the city? Should we still continue with the plan?"

"Of course... but it's just that it's not possible to apply to leave the city temporarily."

Even Commander Kaimon couldn't dispatch the Behemoth Knight Order to escort Abel to his destination.

"Then how do we get out of the city?"

If it were just Han Dong and his two Knight-Errant leaving the city alone to go to a dangerous area a hundred kilometers away, it would be a suicidal act.

"Commander Kaimon, I've already reached an agreement with Vice Dean Hera."

Tonight, you will infiltrate a special knightly corps and secretly travel to the Adalaga Mountains to assist Abel in completing the [Breakthrough].

At the same time, they tried to lure the mole within the Holy City into action and gather evidence.

"Tonight! What knight team?"

"You'll find out when the time comes... This team was scheduled to go outside the city to carry out Investigation Mission a week ago, without being subject to the restrictions imposed by the council."

Three hours later, head to the [Gryvend Tavern] in front of the North Gate to meet them and proceed together to your destination.

Clearly, Mr. Black and White had arranged everything perfectly.

"Good!"

Everyone has been preparing for more than half a year, so there's nothing to hesitate about.

Of the three, Abel changed the most during this period.

After nearly a year of hellish training, Abel's overall demeanor has changed quite a bit.

Apart from the stronger, wilder appearance.

His bestial nature was on full display, and his eyes held a unique, resolute look... A special beast-sign ring was worn on Abel's finger.

Nine o'clock at night.

Han Dong and his group met the mysterious knight squad at the place pre-arranged by Mr. Black and White.

The moment Han Dong pushed open the door to the private room, he froze.

Enemies meet on a narrow road.

"Senior Lucius... it's been a long time."

Leading this special operation is Lucius Torsel, the Blood Knight chosen second in line by the Scarlet Knight Order this year, and his companions.
