Chapter 440: Leaving the City

Holy City – Mysterious Department – Dark Moon Tower.

A singularly streamlined design carriage has been waiting at the entrance for a long time.

Mr. Black White himself took the carriage to the Bell Tower.

His purpose was only to check on Han Dong’s condition.

While observing Han Dong’s fate line using astrology, an exceedingly rare ‘dashed area’ appeared, even a segment of ‘lineless area’.

Which is equivalent to Han Dong having a special experience that even Mr. Black White can’t peer into during the destiny event.

“Mr. White, are you here to personally pick up your student?”

When the carriage arrived at the bottom of the Bell Tower, the Clockmaker also came to the entrance to receive him.

The white mask on Mr. Black White’s face revealed a puzzled expression: “The situation is a bit abnormal, during the fate event of the Seed Period, I can’t see anything in one segment.”

“Oh!? Can the Single-Player Mode allow him to find the opportunity to go to a higher-level plane?”

“I hope this kid won’t run into any serious trouble… Often at the Apprentice Knight stage, students who accidentally step into high-rank spaces, even if they can survive, will carry certain after-effects or mental traumas.

If his mentality is detected to have been deeply hurt or affected, we can only give up cultivating him.”

“He seems to have come out already, let’s go inside and talk. It’s not good for me to let people know that I’ve allowed your student to take shortcuts.”

The Clockmaker reached out and took Mr. Black White’s hand, leading him to the inner office of the Clock Tower.

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

“Huh?! Teacher, why are you here?”

Han Dong was proceeding down the clock tower corridor, thinking he was about to step out of it.

But he ended up stepping into the Clockmaker’s office.

Moreover, Mr. Black White was standing together with the Clockmaker.

“Nicholas, because during your fate event, you have entered areas that don’t belong to the event itself, a deep brain domain check is necessary to rule out all potential hazards.”

“Okay!”

Han Dong was slightly surprised.

He didn’t expect that Mr. Black White would know about his venture into the high-rank world during his time in the Fate Space.

“This isn’t something good… Crossing ranks to enter a high-rank world carries great risks.

High-rank beings may cause a deep-seated influence that can never be eradicated from you.

This kind of situation is similar to PTSD, also known as ‘Permanent Fate Stress Disorder’.

Seemingly having cleared the fate event normally, in reality, this affected challenger, his future thought patterns, and actions could all be influenced, and he might even pose a threat to the Holy City… thus permanently losing his knight qualifications.

Severe cases will be permanently detained.”

“Okay… Please check me, Teacher.”

The current Mr. Black White was a relatively unfamiliar [Mr. White].

A shimmer of stars passed before Han Dong’s eyes, the check-up had already been completed.

“Hmm… no problems.”

Mr. Black White promptly wrote down the obtained data on the report to prevent the council’s personnel from coming to check Han Dong’s brain surface themselves.

“Now that there’s no problem, let’s go back… Being able to advance to the [Breaking Seed Stage]ahead of time is quite good.

You can think about your target for Breaking the Breed yourself or ask me for help.

Also, Captain Kaimon’s grandson is also preparing to Break the Breed recently, you guys can communicate when you’re free… the process of Breaking the Breed is not as simple as killing a life outside the city, the prior preparation is extremely important.”

Even [Mr. White], who didn’t think very highly of Han Dong initially, gave him a high appraisal at this time.

Obtaining three Fate Points at once in a fate event was not a joke… very few people in the Holy City could achieve this.

Moreover, after Han Dong entered the high-rank world, his thinking was not affected at all, but instead, he was in a state of complete relaxation.

This was in stark contrast to some of the Apprentice Knights who had once screamed fiercely to leave the Fate Space and had mental disorders.

“Ok! Thanks, Sir… You and the Clockmaker are old friends, you probably have things to chat about. I won’t bother you two, I’ll wait outside the main gate.”

Han Dong was very astute, making a very correct decision at the moment.

Such a move could win the favor of both ‘Mr. White’ and the Clockmaker… After all, the Clockmaker had previously pointed out the extraordinary relationship between them.

“Yes…” Mr. White nodded, his favorable opinion of Han Dong, his student, increased significantly.

“Phew… Finally back!”

Stepping out of the Bell Tower.

The air he breathed, though not as fresh as in the Fate Space, was the familiar smell, the smell of home.

The Node has been rented out again.

[Deep-sea Diver – Nicole Little Paw]has become the third Follower.

“Wow! Is this the world where you, Messenger, live? Is this strange building called the Bell Tower? The two people who just appeared looked very powerful, what’s their relationship with you, sir? Are we now going to the place where you live? Can you let me out?”

A series of questions came from Han Dong’s mind, giving him somewhat of a headache.

“You can’t come out now… Why, you will naturally know once I leave the city.”

“When will Messenger be leaving the city? Can I come out after we leave the city?”

“Yes… Once I’ve dealt with some things at hand, I’ll leave the city immediately.”

“Okay.”

If Nicole were to be let out casually, the consequences would be unthinkable.

When Mr. Black White came out from the base of the Bell Tower, his mask had turned back to the familiar black color.

“Well done!”

Mr. Black White’s hand landed on Han Dong’s shoulder, a smile appearing on his mask.

“With this, you have two years to prepare for [Breaking Seed], allowing you to find the best answer… Let’s go!”

“Sir, I aim to make a direct trip outside the city!”

“Don’t you need a rest?”

Han Dong scratched his head, “Hehe… This time the fate event was completely slept through, no feeling of fatigue at all.”

A genuine dream.

Up until now, Han Dong’s residual memories of the “Mist” are almost non-existent.

Like having had a long sleep in the Fate Space, combined with his primary and secondary attributes reaching saturation, Han Dong’s mental state was surprisingly good.

“Alright… I wanted to go and see your manor myself anyway. As for your thoughts about your weapon, I can offer you some advice.”

Mr. Black White had already foreseen that Han Dong was in a hurry to leave the city, partially due to the creation of his weapon.

“Thank you, sir.”

Just as the carriage was leaving the Holy City, Mr. Black White said:

“Let out the little lady in you who wants to come out…”

“Yes.” Since Mr. Black White had specifically mentioned it, Han Dong found no need to hide Nicole.

Drip, drip…

Some seawater dripped onto the inside of the carriage.

Along with a series of tentacles landing on the seat, Nicole appeared,

But…

As soon as Nicole saw the ‘Eternal Night’ scene outside the carriage window, she froze instantly, her previously sealed off memories were slowly uncovered.

Mr. Black White chuckled silently:

“You actually managed to bring out a ‘Follower’ from the Fate Space. That’s indeed rare.”
