My Cell Prison

Chapter 458: Chapter 458: Leaving the City
 

Blood Knight: Lucius Tosser

Death Mage: Lenze Fiji

Shadow Assassin: Jane Mikazki

When considering from the ‘Blood’ perspective, Lucius was indeed the most suitable leader for special operations.

The above three were all outstanding knights who had been singled out by the Knight Regiment according to priority.

Having completed their ‘Breaking the Breed’, the trio were drastically different from before.

Lucius wore a set of deep-red armor that complemented his ‘slender’ physique,

With his smooth long hair draped over his shoulders.

Without his helmet, on his handsome face, a pair of blood-red eyes were staring at Han Dong who just entered the room.

Barely visible fangs behind his red lips seemed capable of draining the blood of Han Dong and his companions in an instant.

The aura emanating from him was still the strongest out of the three.

Lenze, who used to be an apprentice, had now become a full-fledged Death Mage.

His withered and frail body was entwined with unseen dead spirits’ aura.

Being handpicked by [The Death God – Alex] to join the Terminal Knight Regiment, he received superior treatment, currently wearing three pieces of fine equipment that had never been seen before.

A full-body bone armor crafted from the combination of bone and Fate Metal,

A bone shield woven in circles with a skull crystal embedded,

And a naturally formed dark magic staff.

The quality of all three pieces of equipment was high, especially the bone shield… It seemed to be at the Epic level.

As for Jane, Han Dong had already met her in the Large Cemetery before.

After the practice duel with Han Dong followed by further intensive training, she seemed to have mastered blending into the shadows completely.

Her assassination skills were incomparable to an ordinary knight’s.

This is the knight team that Mr. Black White ‘deliberately’ arranged. Such an elite knight team can block the majority of dangers.

Moreover, Han Dong suspected that Blood Knight – Lucius might have some plans for the ‘Scarlet Manor’.

“Hello, seniors!”

Lucius spoke softly, “Mr. Black White has already briefed us on the basic situation…We will safely escort you to the southeast of the Adlaga Mountains.”

“Thank you, senior,”

“Once we deliver you to your destination, we will return…As for how you will return, it’s not our responsibility.”

“Alright.”

“Before we set off, I have a request! Whether it is Mr. Black White’s task or not, since you are joining my team, you must follow my rules.

If we encounter monsters on the way, you must act under my command.

Also, you need to [Bleed].”

Lucius took out three exquisitely engraved metal wine cups he had prepared in advance.

“Each of you will shed 50ml of blood into the cup, I will establish a temporary link by drinking your blood…If we are separated due to special circumstances, I will still be able to find you.”

“Okay.”

When drinking Abe’s blood, Lucius could taste the primal beast blood hidden within. It was like drinking hard liquor, which made Lucius reveal an extremely satisfied expression.

“Worthy of being the eldest grandson of Captain Kaimon.”

At the first taste, Dumps’s blood seemed plain and ordinary, but it burst with extraordinary energy after swallowing.

Lucius looked at this student with surprise. He had already heard from Lenze about this Dumps, who was ‘well-known’ in the library. He didn’t expect to be really something.

Last, when Lucius picked up Han Dong’s blood, he displayed a frowning expression.

Because he could clearly sense multiple impurities in the blood, including pathogenic fungi, malignant viruses, and even some strange sand.

The type of ‘inferior’ blood that Lucius usually refuses to taste.

Since the rule has been stated beforehand, he could only drink it all at once, his face unchanged as he said,

“Fine, we prepare to leave the city. When the soldiers at the city gate question your identities, just tell them you are ‘Knight Attendants’. Mr. Black White has already handled it.”

“Okay.”

Just as everyone stepped out of the bar.

“You guys get in the car first, I forgot to pay the bill.” Lucius suddenly stopped and returned to the bar alone.

The calm-faced Blood Knight Lucius, the moment he stepped into the bar.

Swoosh! He turned into a stream of blood, rushing to the bathroom at the fastest speed.

Propping against the wall with one hand, he started to vomit while controlling the blood within his body, separating out the part that belonged to Han Dong.

“What kind of impure blood does this guy have flowing in his body? It’s even trying to pollute the blood source in mine.”

After tidying up a bit, Lucius immediately walked out of the bar as if nothing had happened.

Because the investigation was taking place hundreds of kilometers away this time.

The vehicle was a ‘Carriage of Desperation’ borrowed from the Terminal Knight Regiment. These were ghost horse species emanating a faint blue glow.

Similar to the skeletal horses in the big cemetery, these ghost horse species possessed even greater mobility and didn’t need food.

They were derived from materials in the Fate Space using high-ranking dead spirit spells.

They drove out smoothly from the north gate after showing their knight’s identification.

Not long after leaving the city, Han Dong quietly rested his right arm on the carriage window, quietly releasing a crow to inform the Crowmen tribe in Stuart Manor that he was already on the way.

The atmosphere inside the carriage was still a bit awkward.

After all, it was hard to completely resolve the conflicts between Han Dong and this knight squad.

Lucius sat by the window, his elbow resting on the window sill, his chin lightly cupped in his hand. His ‘handsome look’ was not slightly inferior to Dumps, with an added touch of elegance and unique demeanor.

“Abe. Rhein….”

“Yes, senior?”

“I heard that this time you are trying to find a newborn demon in the Adlaga Mountains to break the breed, do you have related information?”

“Yes.”

Abe handed over the information he had been keeping for more than half a year.

“Chromagus Beast Dragon… it seems unrelated to the ‘Scarlet Manor’ on the mountain.

But strange, with the Scarlet Manor already existing in the Adlaga mountains and being protected by the Old King, other types of demons should not be coming close.”

Abe nodded in response: “Correct, as this matter is strange, we require you all to go with us… If we encounter other troubles, we may need your help, senior.”

There were no unpleasantness between Lucius and Abe, and he also thought highly of this younger schoolmate, “Ohhh… you just need to prepare well for the demon.

As expected of the future leader’s successor, daring to pick a demon for breaking the breed. How sure are you?

“About 30 percent.”

“That high? I look forward to your performance.”

Evil beings in the forest retreated once they heard the neighing of the ghost horse species, and as a result, the journey was smooth.

In just three hours.

The ghost carriage carried everyone smoothly through the Gain Forest.

The carriage stopped at the edge of a cliff.

On the other side was Mount Adlaga, a continuously towering, cloud-piercing mountain range… However, to reach the foot of the mountain, one would have to cross a suspension bridge spanning ten thousand meters in front of them.

“Hmm? Blood…”

At that moment, Lucius seemed to have sensed something and alone walked towards the bridge.
