My Cell Prison-Chapter 732 - : Port Anomaly

Chapter 732: Chapter 732: Port Anomaly

This carriage is a gift from Mr. Black White.

What sets it apart is not merely its speed but also its superb concealment. Capable of “short-range flight” under special circumstances, the carriage also boasts a high resistance to magic and various illusion techniques for external use.

The horse pulling the carriage is not a product of steam but a Destiny horse, [Midnight], obtained by Mr. Black White from the Fate Space using a high amount of points and special currency.

The carriage itself is handcrafted from epic materials, commissioned to the top-tier stitchers in the Holy City.

Every inch of the stitched leather is a masterful work, offering unparalleled comfort while riding, aside from its additional functionalities.

In terms of quality, there’s just no comparison with the common carriages ridden by knights.

...

This makes the next part of the journey a bit awkward.

As the highest-ranking “White Silver Edge”, we should be leading the way. However, when it comes to the speed, safety and detection capacity of the carriage, Mr. Black White’s carriage has the upper hand.

Just then.

Han Dong sticks his head out and volunteers, “Last year, we served as affiliates, accompanying Senior Lucius out of the city to assist in the investigation of the Blood Plague in the Alagard Mountain Range…we have some experience.

Let us lead the way. The carriage provided by the teacher has top-notch stealth and reconnaissance capabilities, which will help us avoid unnecessary dangers on the road.”

Lucius doesn’t object, naturally.

To them, Han Dong is the man who single-handedly defeated the Count and is a Great Lord outside the city.

After some discussion, the “White Silver Edge” also agrees.

The distance between the carriages is set between 200 meters to 500 meters (depending on the actual terrain and situation). Being too close would cause a significant disturbance, increasing the likelihood of being attacked by life outside the city.

Conversely, if we were too spread out and encountered an “overlapping space” or some space interference area outside the city, our team would be completely scattered.

With that, the order is set.

“Language of the Raven” takes the lead,

“White Silver Edge” is in the middle,

“Red Oath” is at the end.

After a strict examination of the investigation papers and the identities of the members by the city gate guards, the auxiliary channel at the bottom of the city gate for the carriages is opened.

The three carriages dash out.

Han Dong controls [Midnight]’s speed at 100km/h to allow the following two teams to keep pace.

Even on the bumpiest of forest roads, the inside of the carriage remains silky smooth.

Mia, on one side, strains the liquid from the crushed herbs through a cloth, transferring it to portable test tubes for direct drinking or injection. On the other, she looks strangely at Han Dong.

Her expression resembles that of a woman who is upset that her man spent the night with another woman.

“Mr. Black White left?” Abe asks, a puzzled look on his face when Han Dong mentions his teacher.

“Yeah…he’s been gone for two days, and I can’t get a hold of him.”

“Mr. Black White is a special prophet in the Holy City. The construction of the Stargazing Room consumed a lot of the city’s resources, solely to maximize Mr. Black White’s ‘Astrology’ power within it.

Even at most significant meetings, Mr. Black White doesn’t need to attend personally, he can participate remotely through the projection of the Stargazing Room. I heard my grandfather mention casually that the establishment of the Stargazing Room had the intention of confining Mr. Black White. I don’t know the exact reasons…I rarely heard about the teacher leaving.”

“It’s indeed strange, perhaps it’s because of the ‘Great Expedition’.”

Han Dong still remembers when he returned from the Fate Space and asked Mr. Black White about the Great Expedition, Mr. Black White was adamant, stating directly that he would not participate.

“Perhaps, our teacher has given up a lot more than we know in silence.”

As the carriage darts quickly among the trees.

A few crowmen patrolling nearby were lured by the unique scent emanating from the Raven Carriage.

Caw, caw~

Perched on the branches a few dozen meters away, they cawed in greeting to their Lord.

Just as these crowmen tried to escort their Lord, Han Dong promptly dispelled them to avoid arousing any suspicions from “White Silver Edge” following behind.

Han Dong also tried to get information about ‘Ostia Port’ from the Crowman’s mouth.

However, the port is quite a distance from the edge of Gain Forest, and the Crowman, who only operates within the forest area, also does not know.

In the end, after making two short stops on the way,

Avoiding a weirdly-scented forest lake area,

And executing a gang of Antler Evildoers who were blocking the road,

It took about four hours to finally leave the western border of Gain Forest and reach a concrete road eroded by the forest.

The wide concrete road used for human city travel and caravan transportation more than two hundred years ago was now massively cracked, and the gaps in the concrete road surface of all sizes were filled with suction cup plants spreading from Gain Forest.

Fleshly flowers,

Mushrooms full of spots and with a suction mouth in the center,

Thread-like plants squirming like living creatures,

Tree roots full of suction cups, like octopus tentacles,

Forming a kind of strange ‘beauty’ in the landscape.

At the same time, Han Dong surprisingly found an old road sign by the road which barely read [Ostia – 20km]

Because the road ahead was not sheltered by the forest.

Considering the potential dangers that might exist in the port, after some discussion, they decided to proceed on foot.

The carriage was left in the ‘safe stronghold’ in Gain Forest.

The knights carrying out the investigation mission would record some information about the monster distribution (Evil Density) on the way back to the Holy City, and bring it back for a small reward.

The Knight Headquarters would also draw up an ‘Semi-Safe Area Map’ within a 100km range based on this information, and mark the least monster-filled safe spots on it for Knight Squads for rest or carriage parking.

As the three carriages were parked in an area.

Mr. Black White’s [Midnight] let out a neigh, spreading a powerful aura.

Even if a Newborn Demon were to come, it would be repelled by this [Midnight] emanating an aura of ghostly apparitions.

The carriage was thus assured of safety.

Everyone geared up with their respective ‘Investigator’ basic equipment – goggles, earplug type earphones, insulated rubber gloves, dense windcoat that could shield their breaths, and waterproof leather boots.

Generally speaking.

Knight investigators would all don an inconspicuous outfit like this rather than showing off with their big bassinets or glittering knight armors right from the outset.

Investigate discretely, deal with issues grandly.

As the three squads neared the port at a slightly faster pace,

Han Dong suddenly stopped, and at the same time, waved his hand indicating all to find cover nearby and hide themselves.

An unusual sensation had detected movements about five hundred meters away.

About tens of seconds later, Captain Diz of Silver Edge also sensed something.

Diz couldn’t help but flash a look of surprise in his eyes, and turned to look at Han Dong hiding in the tree branches.

Just by investigative abilities, Han Dong was undoubtedly the most formidable in the united squads. But, it was within reason for a Mysterious Apprentice to excel in investigative abilities.

Five minutes passed.

An odd scene came into view.

What came into the view along the highway was not any kind of Evil or Heretic.

But a middle-aged uncle dressed in a vest and jeans, looking ordinary and plain.

The vigorous arms were carrying a cart full of ‘seafood’, apparently going to deliver somewhere.

Upon careful observation, some unique features of the uncle appeared quite different.

For example, the fish-gill-like structure at the side of his cheekbones…
