Han Dong's smile was not because he was confident of victory.

It was simply the president's sarcastic laughter that made him laugh.

So far, Han Dong has not seen any chance to turn the tide in this game.

The Association President ' Association holds a higher position of power in the Holy City than Mr. Black and White, and has long since exploited various loopholes in the Holy City to infiltrate the upper echelons.

Even Though with the arrival of Great Plague Lord, all they can do is delay the inevitable.

With the Supreme Council issuing an order, it is practically a foregone conclusion that Han Dong will be taken away.

Just then.

Another force has arrived.

Despite having fewer than a hundred men, they forced the Black Rose Knights and the Plague Knights to retreat.

The arrival of this force caused even the councilors and the Association President to frown.

Marcus, the person in charge of the arrest operation, even showed a hint of difficulty in his eyes, as what should have been a simple arrest became unusually complicated.

"The curator is here!"

A total of thirty special personnel were dressed in pure white high-necked robes and pointed hats, with the "Sanyuan Book Mark" printed on the back of each robe.

The leader was none other than Reynolds Rodney, the librarian of the Royal Knights Academy, the chief editor of the Holy City Empire's book publishing, and the honorary president of the Magic Association.

His image is that of an old man with a white beard, a common image of a white-robed wizard in fantasy movies.

Vice Curator Hera was also by his side.

It's quite obvious that the library's involvement is due to [Demps Martin].

The reason it was a little late was because Vice Curator Hera personally wrote to the Director-General, asking him to intervene... After all, she, as a Vice Curator, was of little use in this matter.

The letter described Demps as a once-in-a-century magical prodigy and his ability to wield more than five different elemental magics simultaneously, which moved the Grand Steward so much that he ultimately decided to intervene.

"Member of Parliament, I agree with the Great Plague Lord."

This matter involves an important staff member in my library – Demps Martin.

As far as I know, Demps was personally selected by Hera to serve as a librarian when he entered the school because of his outstanding memory and sense of responsibility.

For the past three years, he has been dedicated to his work and has never had any negative impact on my library.

It seems rather frivolous to convict such an excellent employee without even notifying the library beforehand... If possible, I suggest a retrial.

I, the Great Plague Lord, and anyone involved in this matter need to attend.

Furthermore, I also question Stephen President Macnowski.

The legislator's attitude was unusually firm. "The judgment is a document issued by the Supreme Council with absolute executive power, and it is neither necessary nor possible to reformulate it."

We request that the Curator and the Great Plague Lord 10:00 AM tomorrow.

As for President Stephen's matter, it is not within the scope of the current events.

If there are indeed problems, the relevant evidence collection, parliamentary discussion, and judgment must wait until the traitor case is resolved before proceeding with the collection of evidence, parliamentary discussion, and judgment.

"This member of parliament, shouldn't some of the parliamentary rules be changed?"

When the librarian uttered those words.

Even the Great Plague Lord was taken aback, as he was hesitant to say such a thing, as it was tantamount to questioning the highest authority of the Holy City.

Just as the atmosphere was becoming increasingly tense.

Association President Stephen suddenly spoke up and proposed:

There's no need to complicate things so much.

Indeed, it was my fault that the Curator and the Great Plague Lord were not notified in a timely manner of the investigation and judgment of the traitor... It was I who requested the Council to expedite the trial of this matter, after all, it is too dangerous for such heretics to be mixed in with the Holy City.

Once word gets out and the traitors realize their identities have been exposed, there's a very high chance they'll escape.

Since neither of you believes that your students or employees have any problems, nor do you believe the evidence I provided.

Then I will personally 'examine' him.

My ' Dream Art ' is enough to make any traitor reveal the part of their body that belongs to the outside world.

If the verification fails, I will personally appeal to the parliament for a retrial and take full responsibility for providing insufficient evidence... I would even accept being asked to voluntarily resign as Association President.

Seeing is believing!

"Curator Reynolds, Chief of the Moglenni Great Plague Lord, what do you think of this opinion?"

"OK."

The librarian simply didn't believe that his own librarians were guilty, based solely on the evidence Hera provided.

At the same time, the curator was not very satisfied with the Association President, which is why he came here to intervene in this matter.

I do not object to such a proposal.

The Great Plague Lord looked troubled, because he knew that Han Dong did indeed have 'something wrong'.

Just then, a crow whispered a message, assuring the Great Plague Lord that there was no need to worry.

"Alright, let's handle it the way Chairman Stephen does."

Despite appearing calm on the surface, the Great Plague Lord was inwardly extremely anxious... If Han Dong's identity were exposed, the most serious crime of harboring a criminal would be against Mr. Black and White.

"Black and White, you told me... that the guild leader's body corresponds to a high-ranking being outside the city. Now, being subjected to such a direct physical examination, you, as a student, can't possibly withstand it, can you?"

"Don't worry, this game has already spawned an additional hidden chessboard."

When Nicholas obtained the 'evidence', it was already distracted, focusing all its attention on Nicholas and Demps who were rushing back to the city.

They were completely unaware of the additional changes on the chessboard.

Even Though he had a complete advantage on the main board, in terms of the overall situation, he was digging his own grave.

Furthermore, with the help of the Clock Master, a special person has been brought back ahead of schedule, arriving just in time for this important moment... Now all we need to do is watch the show.

After obtaining permission from the members of parliament.

President Stephen's face beamed with a victorious smile, and his deep eyes conveyed to Han Dong a look of utter disdain for such an inferior species.

A powerful aura emanated from President Stephen's body.

As the chairman approached, Han Dong trembled and slowly retreated, his expression hard...

"What... where did that smile go? Does he think he can keep hiding his identity just because he has the captain as his backer? What a naive little guy."

A powerful Mental Strength surged from the president's head, instantly suppressing Han Dong and denying him any possibility of escape or resistance.

"Let everyone see your ugly true face hidden behind the mask."

A finger touches the forehead.

Han Dong's expression froze instantly, and the Depths secret in his mind was unearthed.

An intense Death Aura emanated from beneath Han Dong's feet.

Meanwhile, in the cellar area of Holy City's Upper Zone —the [Terminus Knight Order] —Commander Alex suddenly opened his eyes and uttered four words:

"Absolute Death..."

At the city gate.

What slowly emerged from Han Dong's body was not Spotted Tentacles, nor an indescribable deformed face, nor strange limbs that could not be described with conventional words.

It was a Black Trees.

"Pfft... Hahaha! Sorry, I really can't keep up the act anymore, let me laugh for a bit."

Han Dong's feigned look of terror was shattered, and he immediately clutched his stomach and burst into wild laughter.

By combining the [Laughter] attribute with the Faceless Head, we can resist the guild leader's Mental Invasion.

"What... what kind of tree is this!?"

The Black Rose Knights, Plague Knights, and even the well-informed librarians present had never seen such a bizarre Talent Tree before; to be precise, it was beyond the concept of a conventional Talent Tree.

When this Black Tree appeared, the surrounding scenery changed accordingly.

The ground where the knights stood was replaced by a black sand illusion.

In the black desert filled with death, there grows a Black Trees that thrives by being nourished by blood, its lush branches laden with ripe red fruit.

From a distance.

The dense clusters of Red Fruit resemble a red smiling face, while the black branches are like the lines on the lips.

Talent Tree - "Smiley Face"

The Talent Tree you've been waiting for is here! It's not that Ah Fei wanted filler content; this is just time for it to mature~~~ (Shh, I've been kidnapped by Huang Yi; stopping updates wasn't my idea, help!)
