Chapter 764: Chapter 764: Crystal Stone

Han Dong remained seated on top of Miss Lisa’s heavy sword, entering the Black Lotus Village.

His status as a ‘living person’ instantly attracted the curious and distorted looks of the villagers.

However, Miss Lisa could be counted amongst the higher standing persons in the village.

Moreover, Han Dong himself was also radiating an aura of death that was potent as a plague.

The villagers who lived here were once battle-hardened knights and could naturally guess at Han Dong’s unique identity, immediately accepting this outsider.

From beneath Lisa’s black iron helmet came a soft voice, “Ordinarily, for newcomers to the land of the dead, the village chief would arrange someone to build a new stone house.

But you came here as a ‘living guest,’ only planning to stay for a while.

Stay at my house, let me take care of you.”

“Huh? Is that okay?”

“Having Captain Alex personally sacrifice himself and allocate me missions is an ultimate honor… during this time, I’ll take up my role as your ‘maid’.

If Mr. Nicholas needs anything, he can directly ask of me.”

“Fine…”

In a short while, Han Dong found himself at the residence of Miss Lisa.

Black Lotus Village in terms of architecture seemed to have certain restrictions, being only able to build rather simple single-story houses.

Each one having just one hall and bedroom, and lacked any form of bathroom. After all, the dead didn’t need to eat or excrete. As long as one stayed within the coverage of Black Lotus, one could forever exist.

After returning to the house.

Lisa removed her thick black iron helmet.

The reason why she needed to be fully covered by light knight’s armor and a black iron helmet was due to the blasphemous inscriptions on her body, which could affect other villagers.

But Han Dong was utterly immune to such blasphemy. When it was just the two of them, Lisa didn’t have to worry about the problem of blasphemy.

Leaving aside the blasphemous inscriptions, beneath Miss Lisa’s pale curly hair was a face of above-average appearance, giving off the feel of a young British woman.

Her age seemed to be around thirty or so, her looks having completely paused due to her death.

“Miss Lisa, do you have a place here meant specifically for the cultivation of ‘Death’?” Han Dong asked, at the same time gesturing at the Egyptian female corpse standing at the door.

“Yes… but it’s very dangerous and prone to attack.”

Han Dong looked puzzled, “Being attacked? Isn’t this space established by Captain Alex? Are you saying that aside from you all, there are other living dead here?”

“Yes… we are not exactly living ‘peacefully and tranquilly’ here.

The Death Qi in the air isn’t sufficient to sustain our bodies.

Every once in a while, a fixed ‘four-person team’ needs to be formed, to go to the most dangerous area – [Ancestor’s Mansion] – to obtain a crystal stone imbued with ‘Chaos Death Qi’.

Each person can only take one crystal stone from the mansion each time, and one crystal stone can be consumed for a duration of one month to up to five months.

Once it’s consumed, another trip has to be made.

The [Ancestor’s Mansion] houses unimaginable horrific lives, and every time we go there we must be fully prepared for combat.

In our view, the purpose of Captain Alex setting up the [Ancestor’s Mansion] is to train us… Even in death, we can’t be negligent.”

“Ancestor’s Mansion? Horrific lives? Captain Alex really is generous… almost moving the majority of the domain in the Fate Space here.

Talking about it, when encountering those horrific lives, can you possibly be killed?”

When it came to discussing ‘death within death’, Lisa’s face also turned pale.

“Yes… If we are killed while in a state of death, we will lose the last chance given to us by Captain Alex, everything will dissipate, and we will be completely erased from this world.

Moreover, if we die inside the Ancestor’s Mansion, our dead bodies will enhance the strength and numbers of the monsters dwelling there.

That’s why I attacked you the moment I found you in the Chaos District… We refuse to accommodate the Dead that lack sufficient strength. They are left to fend for themselves in the Chaos District.

Furthermore, the beings inside the Ancestor’s Mansion aren’t beings of fate. We are quite aware of this.”

Han Dong was thoroughly confused by this, “The Chaos District was created by Captain Alex using the Black Lotus he exchanged from the Fate Space…Besides beings of fate, what else could there be? Could there be demons or their kin there?”

“…The mansion houses ‘Demons’.

The Demons that once fell to the Death God’s Scythe are now sealed by the Captain in the Black Lotus, imprisoned in the dark side of the Ancestor’s Mansion through a special confinement method.

When we are searching for the Death Crystal, we could accidentally release a demon by touching a vase.

Or simply enter a domain controlled by a demon when we open a certain door.

In the mansion, any contact in ‘interactive manner’ could potentially release the demons sealed in the dark side… Of course, killing them also grants us high purity Death Crystals, which would suffice for a long period of consumption.

The danger lies in these demons being formidable entities personally slain by the Captain.

All mature bodies, devious and tricky, extremely difficult to deal with.”

After hearing this, Han Dong muttered to himself,

“Captain Alex truly deserves to be the top figure of the Holy City. Not only is his power unrivaled, he also makes numerous ‘moves’ in the shadows…Even the Chaos District he created for selection of talents is set as a battlefield for knights and demons.

He keeps the Dead here under intense training, ready to fight for the Holy City at any time.

Speaking of which, these Death Crystals that sustain the Dead might immensely benefit my cultivation. Moreover, the demons residing in the mansion make excellent supplements.”

Upon this thought,

Han Dong hastily asked, “Miss Lisa, when do you plan to visit the Ancestor’s Mansion?”

“I was originally going to go today, because my crystals have all been used up … But a delay of one day doesn’t seem to be too big of a problem.

I’ll be serving Mr. Nicholas today.

It won’t be too late to go to the mansion tomorrow.”

With that said, Lisa unreservedly took off her knight’s light armor, revealing her perfect figure clad only in a bandeau.

However, Han Dong’s gaze remained on the Egyptian female corpse at the door, as he continued to say, “How about…we go together tomorrow?”

Upon hearing this,

Lisa widened her eyes in surprise. In her view, Nicholas is a living person, who doesn’t need to consume crystals to survive. He really didn’t have to risk going to such a dangerous area.

“It will be very dangerous.”

“I believe Miss Lisa must have gone there several times. With such an experienced guide like you, I think it will go smoothly.”

Lisa’s response, however, was unexpectedly somber: “Because I’ve been there many times… so this time will be even more dangerous.

Are you really going?”

Han Dong nodded decisively and continued, “Isn’t there still some time left today? Let’s hear more about your previous experiences in the Ancestor’s Mansion…I should be fine if I’m prepared in advance.

After all, I was able to defeat Miss Lisa once.”

“Alright…” Lisa pointed at her room, “Let’s discuss it on the bed.”

“Why on the bed?”

“Isn’t a maid’s job to warm the bed for the master?”

“Where did you learn this weird knowledge from…”
