Chapter 164: Chapter 164: Three Months (This volume ends, asking for monthly tickets)

The incident at the Martini Family has temporarily concluded.
No one knows about the subsequent secretive investigations carried out by Mr. Black White, Han Dong, and Silist in the Martini Mansion.
After the crow returned Viscount Alexis Martini’s spirit to his body, the real Alexis gradually recovered from his weakness and fear.
Not interrogating him further about the ‘Terrifying Nightmare’, his fatigued brain slowly returned to its normal state after several days of rest and sustenance… With another month of rest, he would be able to fully recover and continue with his creations.
Due to the lack of critical evidence and a lack of leads from memory searches, the incident became an unsolvable case.
In response to this incident, the council further strengthened the protection of the ‘Writer community’.
Since the incident didn’t cause any substantial harm to the Holy City, as time passed, it slowly faded from people’s memory and was forgotten.
Stargazing Room.
In front of the fireplace.
Mr. Black White was carefully inspecting the back of Han Dong’s left hand.
“Hmm… even I can’t see anything abnormal when the ‘Yellow Mark’ isn’t actively activated. Very good… It is indeed the work of a high-ranking entity.”
“Sir…”
The truth is,
Han Dong believes such a ‘deal’ poses a high risk.
Above all, the majority of the risk is on Han Dong… Dealing with a ‘Faceless Skull’ already had its troubles and now, there’s the presence of another unpredictable ‘Yellow Mark’.
Han Dong already had a gut feeling.
He feels that with developments being as such, sooner or later Mr. Black White will send him out of the city, deep into enemy territory, to act as a spy.
“The risk, the risk in your brain far outweighs this mark… the mark will remain undiscovered by others in the Holy City as long as you do not activate it.
This is my reasoning, since you have certain connections with creatures outside the city, why not deepen this connection?
You have an extra ‘channel’ to mature, not just the Fate Space. You can also grow by learning from life outside the city.
‘Huang Yi’, is quite a unique high-ranking entity.
According to our current knowledge, it is not like the evil, arrogant creatures outside the city. It’s unique, a nearly Neutral entity.
Establishing such a relationship is overall beneficial for you.”
“I trust Mr’s judgement.” Han Dong nodded.
“Of course, the ultimate advantage or disadvantage of this relationship depends on you.
I hope you can establish a good relationship with ‘Huang Yi’ through this mark, that would be very significant to the Holy City.”
“Hm.”
“Sir, I have a question… Did you know about all this before you sent me to the Martini Family?”
A smile appeared beneath the black mask:
“It was [White] who made a ‘short-term divination’ specifically for you.
We only prognosticated that attending the banquet would have a significant impact on your life… we completely didn’t expect that the incident would lead to ‘Huang Yi’, the mastermind behind it all.
The [Knight Training] three months later will be conducted outside the city in a new ‘training area’.
At that time, if the conditions allow, you may try to use this ‘Yellow Mark’ to see what effect it can have.
You are to judge all the pros and cons.
As for ‘Huang Yi’ itself and its demand for ‘writers’, I will handle it.”
“Alright, thank you, Mr. Black White.”
“Well… practice the basics well and hide your special eyes, at least try to make it to the [Knight Training] selection list in three months.”
In the time that followed,
Han Dong created a detailed study schedule for himself.
1. Undertake comprehensive training in the ‘Plague studies’ at the beginning, reaching the four-star benchmark. After formation, if there is a chance, consult the Great Plague Chief about the knowledge of ‘Disaster’ and ‘Minor discipline’.
Han Dong is very interested in dual cultivation.
2. Every day, spend two hours practising the ‘Little Demon Eye’ to increase proficiency and completely keep the contaminated breath released from the eyeball away.
3. Learn and perfect the first chapter of ‘Book of the Dead Spirit – Eye Manuscript’, and enhance ‘Possessed’ Chen Li’s ability through the manipulation of evil energy, hoping to make Chen Li’s overall strength parallel to Togu.
Han Dong also planned to use the Koslin channel to find a high-temperature furnace for ‘Togu’ to get enhancement, and restore it to the strength level in the movie as soon as possible.
4. Take up morning runs, night runs and some basic physical training learned from Cass’s ‘Crusaders’.
Reinforce his physique and become intimate with the ‘G-1 form’.
According to this learning plan, Han Dong limited his sleep time to six hours a day, and frequently read late into the night.
About a month later, at night,
Han Dong in the dormitory, was about to sleep after reading.
He felt a numbing sensation in his soul from the back of his left hand.
Taken aback, Han Dong ran to the washroom.
The long-lost ‘Yellow Mark’ appeared for the first time!
With it, a mass of white mist overflowed from the cracks in the walls, the sewer pipes, and the outlet of the washroom.
Through the square mirror on the basin, Han Dong saw a vague figure in a yellow robe forming behind him.
As tentacles slowly emerged from the yellow robe, twisted characters were written on the glass…
He had to activate the ‘Little Demon Eye’ to decipher these weird characters.
After leaving the message, the yellow robe disappeared along with the mist.
The yellow mark faded, and the washroom returned to normal.
The string of information left behind left Han Dong in resignation, which was as follows:
“The book ‘Dragon Tribe Legend’ has accomplished what I expected; the content is indeed attractive.
I have already come up with a follow-up story and a larger world framework. Please arrange a ‘fantasy genre’ writer for me in the near future. I suppose I will require around 30 days.”
(Dear reader, the text you saw is high-level secret text. Remember to cleanse your eyes after reading this passage.)
Han Dong did not know how to respond to this peculiarity of borrowing a writer to write a book.
He immediately reported the incident to Mr. Black White afterwards, and it was quickly resolved.
The writer who was charged with the task also received a personal gift from Mr. Black White. Consider it a ‘legitimate’ deal with ‘Huang Yi’. The process affected no one, and public security in the Holy City remained normal.
Moreover, when ‘Dragon Tribe Legend II’ was submitted,
This mysterious ‘Huang Yi’ even politely left a ‘thank you’ note on the mirror.
Han Dong was growing increasingly curious about ‘Huang Yi’, an entity that could bring catastrophic disaster to the Holy City.
The three months of study were nearly over.
Han Dong has basically achieved the four requirements he had set for himself.
Three days before the opening of the [Knight Training] selection, Han Dong requested to see the [Great Plague Chief] from Mr. Black White.
“Perfect timing, the three months are almost up, show me how far you have come in these three months.
If it’s to my satisfaction, I’ll arrange a meeting with the Great Plague Chief for you…”
