My Cell Prison

Chapter 729: Chapter 729: Old Friend

“Hmm? An incident discovered by the teacher?”

The person who discovered this final large-scale investigation attracted Han Dong’s attention instantly.

Moreover, their identity as the discoverer was vastly different from the previous two incidents.

Mr. Black White is a Prophet, and one of the best among them, he listened to the voices from outside the city with a listening-like method…that is somewhat similar to what Han Dong encountered with Dragon City Team’s member [Listener – Yu Wu] in the other chapter.

However, concerning the above three investigation tasks.

The Blood Knight Lucius’s team was more interested in the second incident – the mysterious corpse holder.

...

The scope of the area isn’t very large,

The target is explicit,

The goal is singular,

This was a type of investigation with minimal variables. As long as the preparations were done properly, the investigation could be successfully accomplished.

Even if the corpse holder was a [Mature Body-Demon].

Having fought at the Scarlet Manor, Han Dong, Lucius and the others had greatly improved. There wasn’t much difficulty in dealing with a demon of the same level.

In addition, Lunze, the dead spirit in the team, shared the same attributes as this demon. They could ascertain the other’s ability to a certain extent due to the common characteristics, obtain information in advance, and make proper battle plans.

Perhaps, the ‘multi-talented’ Scarlet Count might know some information about this corpse holder, after all Mature Body-Demons were quite rare and can be hand-counted around the Holy city.

However…..personally speaking, Han Dong was very interested in the third matter.

“Senior Lucius.”

“You speak.”

“Can we consider [The Unrest Sound of the Port]?”

“Reason.”

Lucius was a very rational person, as long as a justifiable explanation is given, he would inevitably accept the suggestion.

“1. On the eve of the expedition, ‘investigation tasks’ are in high demand, by the time we finish the medium-sized events and return to the city, there might not be many tasks left.

However, once we complete a major event like the port one, it provides a large reward and a considerable amount of expedition points, equivalent to completing two medium-sized events at once.

2. Ostia Port could likely be one of the ‘territories’ controlled by the former King, even if not, it is certainly inhabited by numerous evils that have come from the deep sea.

The current population of the Scarlet Manor is far from enough. If we could absorb some high-quality deep-sea vileness, or even demons, to improve the manor’s battle power, it could be beneficial for the major expedition.

(Han Dong whispered this point to Lucius privately)

3. Since the incident was discovered by Mr. Black White, I should be able to get a lot more useful information from my teacher.”

The three points of information given by Han Dong caused Lucius to be lost in thought, eventually he nodded in agreement.

Once Lucius agreed, the other two members of his team wouldn’t have any other opinions.

However, there was still an issue that needed to be addressed.

Lucius asked: “Major events, at the root are somewhat like a miniature expedition, at least three teams are required… Our two teams have extreme capabilities, trying to find a team that is trustworthy and complements our abilities, would be quite difficult, right?”

“Wait, let me contact someone, her team’s overall level is definitely not lacking.”

Han Dong sent a chunk of related information via a mechanical device to a knight whom he had not contacted for a long time.

Who knew that the other party wouldn’t reply via the mechanical device at all.

Footsteps echoed from the upper floor of the building, it seems like the knight Han Dong contacted was coincidentally also in Building 3 to accept an ‘investigation task’.

Not long after, the person Han Dong had contacted came down from the stairwell.

Clean Silver armor, a holy cross emblem on the chest,

Bearing a heavy, sturdy shield on her back that exuded a golden glow. The shield was engraved with the pattern of ‘Divine Mothers’ Prayer’,

She had a heavy, golden chain hanging around her waist,

Wavy golden hair, dazzling sea-blue eyes, a prominent nose, and full lips.

It was the Holy Knights Group member Knight Vino Silist, who had known Han Dong since a long time ago… She was also Han Dong’s friend, Cass’s cousin.

Differently from before, Vino was emitting a peculiar aura of sanctity. Compared to the usual soft holiness, the sensation provoked by this aura was sharp and hard.

There seemed to be some kind of mark hidden under her eyebrows, which would emerge under specific circumstances.

After the author’s incident.

Vino immersed herself for a whole two years due to some internal affairs of the Holy Knights Group as well as adjustments involving the [Royal Family].

With the appearance of this extraordinary and elegant knight, Mia felt a very rare sense of ‘crisis’… She quickly shot a hateful gaze towards Vino, her romantic rival.

“Vino! Long time no see.”

Han Dong was ready to be scolded. He had not taken the initiative to contact her in all these years.

But to his surprise, the expression on Knight Vino’s face, standing in the hallway, did not reveal much. Of course… Han Dong could still tell that Vino was furious.

“A large-scale event, you want my team to join?” Vino asked with a cold face.

“Yes… There is an investigation case that Mr. Black White discovered. Our two teams here are not enough. Vino, would you be interested?”

“Give me the name of the investigation mission. My teammates are still upstairs discussing another case… I will reply to you within ten minutes.”

“Okay.”

Han Dong leaned in and pointed to the name of the large-scale event in the investigation dossier.

Who knew, Knight Vino deliberately took the book. At the same time, she quickly twisted Han Dong’s hand… then turned around and went upstairs.

This twist was hidden by the book, and almost no one saw it.

But Han Dong stood in the hallway for a while, holding back the pain from the back of his hand… The power of the holy light attribute was especially intense when applied to Han Dong’s mummified arm.

As Han Dong slowly returned to the team, he was immediately asked by Lucius and Abe:

“Nicholas, how do you know the Fighting Nun?”

“Huh? Fighting Nun?” Yet another new term that Han Dong had never heard before.

Blood Knight Lucius gave a simple explanation: “The Holy Knights Group established a special unit called the ‘Fighting Nuns’, in cooperation with the Royal Family and the Church.

They had to fulfill several strict conditions like having the power of holy light, being women, having high combat ability, and practicing celibacy.

Fighting nuns who received special training possessed the ‘Ability to restrain Demons’… When dealing with demons, they could exhibit powerful abilities that ordinary knights did not possess.

Vino Silist should be one of the knights selected a few years ago. Back then, she got a quite noteworthy announcement at the Knight Headquarters.

The establishment of this special unit of Fighting Nuns should also be directly related to the Big Expedition.”

Abe also added at this time.

It should be noted that after Abe completed the knight selection with the third-best result, he received the recognition of Olivia, the head of the Holy Knights Group, and thus obtained the qualification for ‘Joint Training’.

Abe, who had spent some time in the Holy Knights Group, had heard about these things and had also seen Knight Silist a few times.

Vino’s status in the Holy Knights Group was quite high, and she also had many suitors.

Everyone was curiously looking at Han Dong.

“Well… how should I put it, I had worked with Vino multiple times a little after I became an Apprentice Knight. It was even before I met you, Lucius.

We are good friends, ha-ha…” Han Dong said, a little embarrassed.

This made Mia feel as if she had chugged down a bottle of strong vinegar. She held her breath, her face flushed red.

But Blood Knight Lucius was quite satisfied with the third team candidate that Han Dong had found: “If we have the help of the ‘Fighting Nuns’, things will be much easier.”
