My Cell Prison

Chapter 461: Chapter 461: Lucius’s Decision
 

“Please give us some time to think….”

“No problem!”

Black Simon personally ushered the six to a closed room with a simple stone door.

The data provided by the natives was spread out on the stone table.

One of the maps depicting the entire Adlaga Mountain immediately attracted everyone’s attention.

Although the map was old and had been revised and modified many times.

It carefully recorded each mountain path in Mount Adlaga, even some unknown shortcuts and cave passages.

In addition.

On the map, the coverage area of the “Scarlet Manor” was circled in varying depths of red paint.

The value of this map is extremely high. If Lucius were to take it back to the city, not only could they complete their mission, but it would also get excellent evaluations and rewards…

The stoned table was also filled with a pile of information about the “Scarlet Manor”.

The information about the ‘Baron’ and ‘Count’ mentioned in the intelligence was very interesting to Han Dong.

“The Baron, favored by the Blood God and bestowed with pure blood brew, evolved into a higher existence, a ‘New Born-Demon,’ and is the manager of the Scarlet Manor.

The Count, the Lord, the founder of the Scarlet Manor, was the one who brought the manor into the Adlaga Mountains and coalesced, ruled, and annihilated other evil life forms in the area.

He is rumored to be a ‘Mature Body-Demon’.”

Han Dong had read about the ranking of demons in the basic knowledge books in the library.

As the main threat to humans.

The power of demons is not on a straight line.

There are different levels among them, just as there are clear discrepancies in strength among formal knights due to differences in the number of Fate Points invested in the Talent Tree.

[Demons] besides being directly derived from the ‘King.’

Can also be advanced through their own talents and efforts, by using ordinary life forms.

This evolution is extremely difficult, and many evil beings, monsters and Different People who have reached their own limits die directly because of a small mistake during the advancement process.

The life outside the city differs from humans in the Holy City, who can grow steadily by receiving points from Fate Space.

They grow by acquiring extreme energies that are difficult to control, such as chaos, madness, impurity, and ferocity.

A small lapse in attention can lead to a ‘loss of form,’ ‘loss of will,’ and turn into an unconscious, indescribable substance.

A very few individuals, after stabilizing their form and consciousness, will eventually form a “Demon Core” within their body, officially enter the ranks of demons, and their essence will undergo a complete transformation.

The Demons formed initially are ‘Newborns.’

Once a Demon forms, it must accept a new method of growth-[Belief].

They need to develop their own forces and obtain ‘Faith Power’ from the absolute worship behavior of their minions.

That’s why, when the Eternal Night falls and demons are ravaging, they choose to cultivate the fallen humans as heretics rather than kill them outright.

Once enough Faith Power is collected, the demon will enter the next stage- ‘Maturity’

While it seems simple, this collection process is extremely complex and long.

At this stage, the demon undergoes an essential transformation, and the power system is almost perfect… The evaluation given in the books is – ‘very lethal’.”

The Blood Knight, Lucius, had a slightly stern look in his eyes, “The Count of ‘Scarlet Manor’ … a mature deviant demon? No wonder he has many newborn demons at his disposal, and can almost occupy the entire Alagard Mountain Range in just half a year.

He carried a ‘Medium Land Deed’ and came all the way here. I suspect he is plotting something against Holy City.”

Since the master of the Manor is a mature demon, it can explain the problem of the missing knight squad a few weeks ago.

When faced with this level of blood descendant, if they did not prepare a defense in advance, or if they were directly ambushed by the other party, it is indeed possible that they could not send any message back.

After carefully reviewing all the intelligence by the squad.

Black Simon also entered the stone chamber.

The purpose of this trip was Abe’s [Breaking the Breed Plan].

“Mr. Simon, according to our information, there should be a beast-like New Born-Demon active in the Adlaga Mountain Range… Do you know its active area?”

As Simon received the information, he instantly showed a surprised expression, and his stone eyes full of cracks swirled crazily.

This… This is the Count’s pet!!

It’s a very terrifying monster, it was among those who attacked our cave.”

“The Count’s pet?”

This would make things troublesome. To deal with this demon, we would inevitably get tangled with Scarlet Manor.”

In terms of the current situation.

Abandon the breakup target and find an opportunity to return to the Holy City is the wisest choice.

“Honorable knight! Are you going to kill this evil beast? Our Rock and Soil Clan is willing to assist.

This evil beast was kept by the Count outside the Manor area to eat other lives on the mountain. We know its main habitat, and I am willing to guide you.”

Just as Han Dong thought that Lucius would surely refuse, and then try to get away from the mountain area.

Lucius’s answer surprised everyone.

“Okay… let’s set off in ten minutes.”

“Great!” Simon was overjoyed, killing this evil beast could also avenge his master to some extent.

Jane and Lunze quickly pulled Lucius aside for a private conversation, “Blood team, our task is just to deliver them to the foot of the mountain… why are we getting involved in such a troublesome event?”

Jane did not understand Lucius’s decision.

Investigation out of the city had gathered a lot of intelligence and was sufficient to return to the city.

Secondly, a knight regiment had disappeared here instantly.

Moreover, the information mentioned that a mature deviant Demon was suspected in the manor.

All in all, there is no need to take huge risks to get involved with the ‘Scarlet Manor’.

But Lucius’s response was firm, “I seem to understand the real meaning of the investigation… Mr. Black White’s arrangement, as well as Captain Shaia’s assignment for us to investigate the Adlaga Mountain Range, were no coincidence.

Jane, Lunze, are you willing to accompany me into the ‘Scarlet Manor’?

Just right, we have already obtained a detailed mountain path map and manor layout from the refugees.

This group of juniors is pretty good, if Captain Kaimon’s grandson can successfully break the breed, he may also become a major force… will you join me in the manor?”

Lucius himself was related to blood, and the knight regiment he belonged to, [Leader- Shaia Cornwall] herself asked him to investigate the Adlaga Mountain Range.

From the present situation analysis, Lucius understood the Captain’s arrangement… deliberately letting him have some intersection with the ‘Scarlet Manor’.

As the leader.

Blood Knight Lucius rarely makes such a ‘selfish’ request, most of the time he is considering for the benefit of either of them or the squad.

Therefore, both Jane and Lunze nodded with a smile.

After all, we’ve also been training in the knight’s group for the better part of a year, and we’ve brought enough supplies and equipment out of the city… Consider it as a high-intensity real combat training.”
