Dream

late at night.

In the end, Han Dong still couldn't get rid of Nicole, that clingy little octopus.

Since the VIP room's king-size bed was over two meters wide, Han Dong slept on the same bed as Nicole.

To sleep comfortably without being restricted, Nicole always maintains the appearance of Octopus Girl with a human upper body and pink tentacles lower body.

Simple dependence.

Several pink tentacles rested on Han Dong's body, soft and light, not disturbing his sleep but rather Han Dong feel exceptionally comfortable.

Beep beep beep~

Unlike humans, Nicole does not snore when she is asleep.

She kept spitting out bubbles, and even her pillowcase was completely soaked...

After getting used to the rhythmic bubbling sound, Han Dong finally fell asleep.

Just as Han Dong fell asleep.

A faint warmth emanated from his left hand, and a slight yellow mark appeared... seemingly influencing Han Dong's dream.

"Here it is?!"

Han Dong woke up on the teacher's desk in the classroom where he had lived.

Staring at the students in the classroom who were engrossed in writing their exam papers, Han Dong seemed to have fallen asleep while proctoring the exam.

"Um?"

The students taking the exam placed their hands on their knees, not writing answers with pens, but using tentacles that grew from their mouths to answer quickly.

The exam ended shortly afterward.

The students left their completed exam papers on their seats and left one after another.

Viewed from above, these exam papers together form a complex yellow seal magic array.

Exam papers fluttered in the air.

In the center of the classroom, a "mysterious Yellow Robe Man" with a silver outline around his body, completely separated from the current time and space, is summoned.

"Senior... why are you looking for me in my dreams?"

Looking back, it has been almost two years since the Yellow Robe Man last found a writer of sufficient quality, and he has not taken the initiative to contact Han Dong.

A distant, hoarse voice came from beneath the yellow robe. "You can realize this is a dream world? Your self-awareness is quite strong."

"Did you come to see me about the 'author' thing, senior?"

"No... I have enough authors on hand right now, and I don't have any plans to start a new book yet."

The reason I'm contacting you is because you've come to a very interesting area with land deeds.

Such "Active Deed" are very rare.

"Active Deed ... No wonder, I knew my manor was completely tied to the land and could not be moved at all. Yet Scarlet Villa was able to come here with the Earl."

"The Red Banquet you are about to attend is nothing more than a pastime for some 'king' who likes to watch it."

Since you are one of my envoys, they will naturally receive you with the highest honors... You can rest assured about your safety."

"Yes." Han Dong himself had already confirmed this.

"The purpose of my appearance here is mainly to see if you have any interest in this rare ' Active Deed '? If you are interested, you can try to get your hands on it."

After all, I don't have many "Active Deed" under my management.

"This... won't it be a bit too much? After all, I haven't broken through to the next level yet, and the gap between me and the Earl is somewhat insurmountable."

"Don't worry, if you want to do it, I'll help you in secret... Besides, you have the Stuart Manor as leverage, so you should be very clear about the rules regarding 'land deeds'."

At worst, you'll lose the "land deed" you hold.

If you can really do it, you can get a "Active Deed", which will be very useful when you leave the city in the future, especially when you can't stay in the Holy City anymore.

Think it over yourself... During your time at the Scarlet Villa, you can contact me at any time through Yellow Seal.

Looking forward to your performance.

"Senior, one last question... If I accidentally make things worse, will there be an incident like the reappearance of the old king, just like last time?"

"Don't worry, not everyone is as impulsive and carefree as that Ghoul... As long as you follow the rules of the 'land deed,' you won't cause much trouble."

"OK."

As the mysterious Yellow Robe Man walked out of the classroom, Han Dong's dream abruptly ended.

The burning sensation on the back of his left hand forced Han Dong to leave Nicole's tentacles and rush to the bathroom to rinse his hand with cold water... It took a full half hour for the burning sensation to subside.

Despite being wide awake, Han Dong was still full of energy after such a dream.

Seeing that Nicole was sleeping soundly, Han Dong quietly left the room and locked it.

Han Dong and Nicole share a master-servant connection; Han Dong will know about any problems immediately.

"Julia ..."

As Han Dong softly uttered this name in the dark passageway.

Tick-tock...

A drop of bright red blood spilled from the top of the wall.

As the drop fell to the ground, it immediately transformed into a long red dress, perfectly complementing the curves of a woman's figure... Han Dong's personal maid appeared.

"Lord, are you looking for some service late at night?"

"Just show me around the manor."

"Alright... Lord, please follow me."

The Scarlet Manor was larger than Han Dong had imagined.

After wandering around for about half an hour, Han Dong came across an interesting area in the Backyard - a huge circular domed building, from which all sorts of strange sounds could be faintly heard.

"This is the Earl's pet house... The Earl is very fond of collecting and raising live animals."

The Earl will try his best to possess any living being that possesses 'special characteristics'... Some of the more 'valuable' pets will also be on display at the Red Banquet.

"Can we go in and take a look?"

With the Red Banquet approaching, the pets are undergoing a "docile treatment" to prevent them from feeling frightened by unfamiliarity.

If the lord truly wishes to visit, he must apply to the Earl, or I can guide you after the Red Banquet.

"Then forget it. But I heard that the Earl seems to have a powerful hybrid pet, and I'd like to see it... After all, similar experiments are being conducted at my manor."

"The one you've heard of, Lord, is Chromagus, the Earl's favorite big dog... but it's been acting unusually violent lately, so the Earl took it back to the manor to deal with it a long time ago."

If all goes well, we should see him at the Red Banquet.

"Alright..."

Accompanied by a maid, they returned to the mansion after the tour.

They unexpectedly bumped into a 'guest' in the corridor.

With his long, dark brown hair, iconic silver knight's armor, and the unique medallion worn by knights at his waist... this is the knight who went missing while investigating the Alagad Mountains.

However, it appeared inside the mansion unharmed.

The knight was drunk, and he had a maid with an equally perfect figure in his arms, who was even more alluring than Han Dong's personal maid...

They did not notice Han Dong, who was wearing a black bird-beak robe.

Instead, upon seeing the stunningly beautiful maid beside Han Dong, he immediately reached out with his lewd hand.
