Chapter 554: Chapter 554: Enter the Dream

Quite unexpected.

Han Dong assumed parliament would just conduct some ‘inductive’ questioning on specific issues.

Unexpectedly, he himself was viewed favorably by the upper echelons of the Parliament, and they were trying to cultivate him as a candidate.

But…

Han Dong naturally could not agree.

Once he became a [candidate], he would surely be listed as a key observation subject of parliament.

They will definitely conduct a thorough medical examination on him from top to bottom, and there is a risk of revealing his life outside the city.

Moreover, even if he could hide it.

Han Dong’s future actions might also be directly monitored by the parliament, and he would face considerable difficulties when moving around the Holy City or commuting between mansions.

Of course.

Rejecting it directly would not be a logical behavior.

After all, this is a rare opportunity, which can bring unexpected power if agreed to.

Han Dong must respond appropriately and reasonably.

“Honorable Member, this matter will to some extent determine the course of my future.

Whether it’s the Crow Domain I am currently proficient in or the level I am able to reach, they are all closely related to my mentor – Mr. Black White.

Regarding being a candidate, I need to consult with my teacher, so I cannot provide a definitive answer at this time.”

“Hmm…”

The parliament member nodded slightly and retrieved the paper provisions on the desk.

“Mr. Black White is indeed an indispensable key figure in Holy City, I believe he can give correct guidance to his students.”

With the departure of the parliament member, the illusions in the interrogation room also disappeared.

Upon returning to the resting room, there were of course many inquiries, Han Dong also truthfully informed them of the situation.

“What!? You’re a potential candidate for parliament, and you didn’t agree!?”

For a while, all four people in the room widened their eyes, looking at Han Dong but were speechless.

“Ah… considering this heavy identity might be a constraint on me, rejecting it directly wouldn’t be too good either, so I found a reason to postpone the decision for later.”

The response hit Abe hard.

Abe is a bona fide member of Holy City, having grown under the influence of the knight’s doctrine since childhood, he is well aware of some of the city’s fundamental systems.

If he were invited to be a candidate for parliament, he wouldn’t hesitate to confirm.

“A member of Parliament is the highest decision-maker of Holy City… and the identity of a member does not overlap with the identity of a knight, and it doesn’t really affect the freedom of life.

It just gives you the qualification to participate in Holy City’s future planning decision-making and amendments of laws.

At the same time, you will receive the treatment of the royal status, and in some occasions, even higher than the Royal Family.

Moreover, because of your status as a potential candidate for parliament, you will thrive in the Knight Regiment, and you will be able to rise quickly.

A rumor… the Supreme Council will secretly select outstanding youngsters as candidates, I didn’t expect it to be true.”

Even if the identity of a member of Parliament does not overlap with other identities, Han Dong still maintains his viewpoint.

As for the preferential treatment, Han Dong doesn’t really need it.

“Haha, it’s fine… I’ll go ask Mr. Black White when I get back.

Speaking of which, it’s highly likely that all five of us will enter the final round, let’s rest early. The students from the underground concealed themselves very well, we must brace ourselves for tomorrow’s tough battle.”

“Alright.”

Abe is also filled with fighting spirit.

He noticed the performance of the underground students, and Captain Kaimon mentioned the matter to him as well.

Abe has been instructed to pay close attention to the ‘monsters’ cultivated by the three knight regiments of the underground area, they all pose a threat to Abe’s first position.

There are only two rows of seats in the resting room.

Naturally, the two women were let to sleep on the benches.

The three men slept together casually on the ground.

Mia really wanted to join in, but was halted by Han Dong’s stare… and according to their agreement, as long as Mia could make it to the top ten, some special requests can be fulfilled.

So, everyone slept early to save up energy for tomorrow’s finals.

Late in the night.

A finger wrapped around the bedding, slowly moving towards Han Dong’s body.

Without disturbing anyone, the finger touched Han Dong’s back and slowly moved upwards.

Suddenly…

The finger turned ethereal, penetrated Han Dong’s neck, and connected to his brain.

Immersed in the dream.

“Nicholas… This is your dream domain, and our conversation can’t be heard by anyone.”

This finger was Dumps’ special sixth finger, used to connect to the dream domain.

“You can use this move too? Speaking of which, what needs to be talked about in a dream?”

“It’s not just about the matter of you being found by parliament, there’s a little problem that needs to be confirmed with you face to face…I have a feeling that there is something strange.”

Han Dong naturally understood his meaning, “You mean, even though the parliament knew there are certain ‘outside the city’ suspicions about me, they still invited me to be a candidate, right?”

“Exactly… This is a huge issue.

The Supreme Council is fundamental to the stability of Holy City, they need to eliminate all situations that may lead to a crisis in the city… they would never let suspicious people like you or me become candidates.

In a way, it shows that the parliament might be paying a lot of attention to you now, and they might even tamper with the final round tomorrow.”

“I have my own judgement, and Mr. Black White should also help handle it.”

“Hmm… we can’t have any problems at such a crucial time, we must be careful, very careful! The identity of a knight is very important to us, it’s the foundation for our survival in Holy City.”

“Dumps, are you being too nervous?”

Han Dong naturally understands all of these, and he will handle them carefully.

But Dumps invading the dream in the middle of the night, it seemed a bit ‘panicked’.

“The complexity of the Parliament far exceeds our imagination, to allow humans to continue to survive in such a world… it’s not simply because a copper wall repels the demons.

I’m just afraid that the parliament member did some kind of hidden mental induction on you, so I specifically came to the dream to check.

… [The Mother] cares a lot about my ‘root’ in Holy City. Anyway, we must still be careful.”

“Okay… don’t worry.”

…

The next day.

“Bastard!!”

When Han Dong woke up.

He saw an emotional Mia pointing at him.

“When we went to sleep, Dumps was on the left, Abe was in the middle, and you were on the right… now the positions have changed, you and Dumps are together! Did you guys do something secretly last night?!”

Bang!

Han Dong promptly pointed at Mia’s head and tapped it vigorously, causing a bump to form immediately.

“Instead of focusing on this issue, you’d better seriously prepare for today’s final…let’s go.”

As they set foot in the Colosseum again.

There was a fine rain in the sky, the temperature plummeted…

The fine rain patted on an independent, giant and smooth special platform.

A platform built over the course of the night in the Colosseum, it seemed completely different from those used in the semi-finals, today’s final round will be held on it.

Looking at the platform, Han Dong’s left hand sent a slight burning sensation.

The Yellow Mark seemed to have some reaction.
