Riddle

"Insect Possessed"

It belongs to a special kind of life form outside the city, independent of evil and Wild Monster.

They are more individually intact and their numbers are extremely small (see Volume 4, "Life Outside the City (Part 2)").

Mia's existence is an exception among the Insect Possessed.

She showed neither many characteristics of life outside the city nor any pollution; overall, she was 90% more like a human...

Because of Demps's introduction.

Mia was able to successfully break free of her spawning with the help of her mother, Yaga.

As a result, Yaga's mother noticed Mia's difference and talked in detail about 'Mia' when she was alone with Han Dong.

One of the reasons Han Dong allowed Mia to stick to him like this was because of Mia's potential and her special status as an "Insect Possessed".

current.

Inside the lord's bedroom at the Stuart Manor.

Ms. Yaga herself descended.

Due to the closed nature of the "Sensory Domain," even the Crow Person Elder who also lived in the castle did not sense the intrusion of the foreign object.

She placed one hand on Mia's forehead, slowly drawing out the curse seal within.

"Using the larvae of the [Source Mother Curse Spider] for seed breaking is indeed very suitable for her."

The battles in the Knight Selection also stabilized her Talent Tree, giving her the ability to control 'insects'.

I have only removed the seal on the main heart so far.

Most of the auxiliary seals were preserved to prevent the Little Spider from failing to suppress the 'insect' and causing an irreversible 'rampage'.

Such a special Insect Possessed can provide you and my 'son' with great assistance at certain times.

Moreover, having a "Insect Possessed" in your team will save you a lot of trouble in the future.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have taken the 'risk' of making this special trip to your manor.

"Thank you, Ms. Yaga."

"There's a nauseating aura of a powerful figure lingering in your manor. It seems a special guest has arrived today... I hope he won't reveal your secrets?"

"He's just a businessman."

"That's good."

"Gah~ Gah~ My lord! You haven't eaten for seven whole days!"

A week has passed.

A lot of food had piled up at the door of Han Dong's bedroom... For a week, Han Dong never Door Opening to take the food, and no matter how he tried to communicate, he received no response.

However, the crow people could clearly sense that their lord was still alive.

They guessed that their lord was probably engaged in some kind of unique training with a tall female knight, and no one dared to break down the door to disturb them.

The longer the time dragged on, the more we realized that the lord had said he would stay in the city for a week, and today was the deadline.

The elders decided to send Duoze Crow, who was closest to Han Dong, to deliver the food. If the lord still did not Door Opening, Duoze Crow would use the spare key to check the situation inside.

After all, in the elders' view, even if reproduction between opposite sexes takes a certain process, it shouldn't last for seven days.

The Duoze Crow was terrified the whole time, afraid of displeasing Han Dong and being roasted.

Creak~

The Door Opening very slowly.

The moment the door opened slightly, several small, purple-patterned Little Spider crawled out. The Duoze Crow quickly covered itself with its feathers to avoid being injected with venom.

"What... what is this?!"

Through the crack in the door.

The lord's room was covered with dense spider webs.

Slightly different from ordinary Spider Silk, these threads resemble a kind of vascular tissue with fine hairs, and they emit a faint purple light, completely illuminating the room.

Deep within the spiderweb, inside the room, there appeared to be a large spider embracing Han Dong, a situation that was extremely 'dangerous'.

Just as Duoze Crow mustered a rare courage and tried to rush in to rescue the lord.

A voice transmission from Han Dong echoed in his mind:

"Get out... I'm fine, close the door now."

Gaa!

Duoze Crow Duoze Crow closed the door again. Although he had been scolded, he was happy that he didn't have to fight the dangerous spider and that the lord was alright.

Deep within the spider web.

It took a whole week.

Mia has transformed from a completely berserk eight-legged venomous spider into a human form with eight arms, and her consciousness is slowly returning... except that the huge silk sac behind her has not yet disappeared.

The true purpose of "unsealing the curse".

It was to enable Mia to suppress the 'insects' inside her body on her own.

Instead of continuing to suppress it through curses and seals imposed by others.

Only by truly taking control of her body can she minimize the possibility of "going berserk" or "mutating into an insect," while also maximizing the activation of Mia's own abilities, thus elevating her all-around attributes to a higher level.

Seven days.

Mia also 'enjoyed' enough time alone with her boyfriend.

Even Though she wasn't fully conscious at Oldest One, she could always feel Han Dong's embrace and warmth through her senses...

"Thanks..."

"You are the only ' Insect Possessed ' in the Holy City who can maintain a human form."

According to the book, "Insect Possessed" are a rare species outside the city, extremely dangerous, and most of them are recruited by the Old King to become special demons under his command.

When the Great Expedition arrives, the Knight Order will inevitably encounter the terrifying Insect Possessed outside the city.

"At that time, Mia might be able to play an even more important role than Levi."

"Good..."

Mia didn't want to go that far, or even participate in any Great Expedition; she just wanted to stay with Han Dong.

"I have to go back to report today... You continue to stay in the manor to recuperate until you fully return to human form."

"Can't you just spend some time with them...?"

"It's not good to take leave on your very first day as a knight... Besides, I've been with you for seven whole days. Take a good rest and come back to me when you get back to town."

"Um."

They were specially picked up by Crow Carriage.

Han Dong rushed back to the Holy City as quickly as possible, hoping to report to the Whisper Knight Order before sunset.

It was exactly the same as my experience in the dream.

The headquarters of the Whisper Knight Order] is neither in the high and mighty noble district, nor in the chaotic and mysterious Underground Area... but is built on an ordinary second floor.

A few hundred meters away, you can see the dark gray building, five stories high, located in the 'deepest street'.

However, such a building looks quite 'strange', as if the building is upside down, with doors and windows facing the opposite direction, and the rooftop bordering the ground.

However, as Han Dong approached the deepest street where the Whisper Knight Order were located, a strange feeling swept over his entire body.

Mr. Black and White's personal carriage was also at the crossroads and could not proceed further.

Just as Han Dong was about to step into the Depths of the street.

Out of the corner of my eye, I caught sight of a bright yellow metal mailbox standing on one side of the intersection.

In a very inconspicuous place on the side of the mailbox, there is a small [?] mark.

"There's something in the mailbox..."

Han Dong presented the Whispering Knight's Emblem that he had received.

Clang~

Email is now open.

Inside was a "radio" that exuded a strange aura.

"A product of the Destiny Space? Something between the inanimate and the living."

The radio suddenly posed a riddle. "If you know me, you want to share me. If you share me, I will disappear. Who am I?"

"It's a secret," Han Dong replied immediately.

"Welcome to the Whisper Knight Order..."

The structure of the deepest street changed in an instant.
