Chapter 506: Chapter 506: The Count’s Secret
 

Fully immersed in supreme joy.

Joyous due to victory in war,

joyous for acquiring the Land Deed,

joyous for achieving the most ideal Breaking the Breed,

joyous from realizing Death,

During Breaking the Breed, as Blood Hand continued to play the piano, Han Dong uncontrollably began to dance… painting his mouth corners with the black substance secreted from his body, drawing a big laughing mouth to symbolize [Laughing Madness].

“Congratulations!”

The congratulatory voice came from below the stage when the dance ended.

Han Dong waved his hand, pulling Togu and Chen Li back inside him.

“Swollen Doctor, thank you for your hard work, Elders… The war is over, you can leave here. Wait at the entrance of Scarlet Manor.

After I and my friends have dealt with the remaining ‘trivial matters’, we will all leave together.”

“Yes!”

In the theatre.

Only Han Dong was left.

“Where’s that Abe kid?” asked Lucius.

Han Dong immediately waved his hand, indicating that they didn’t need to worry about Abe’s situation. “He is probably Breaking the Breed too, no need to worry about him.

The task is not yet over; the mission that Mr. Black White entrusted me and Dumps with is only just beginning.

Senior Lucius, Senior Jane, you can join in as well. It’s a significant matter.”

“Mr. Black White’s mission? Is someone in Holy City colluding with the Count?”

Lucius’s reaction was swift. He had suspected the Blood Plague event in Holy City a long time ago… If the plague was to spread in the city, the precondition was that there were carriers entering the city.

With the strict security in Holy City, how could an ordinary person infected with Blood Brew mix into the civilian area? Clearly, someone was up to some mischief.

“That’s right… And it’s not just the Red Plague incident. The whole Holy City is under this person’s plot.

Please, seniors, search for the hidden mechanism in the private theatre. There should be a secret passageway leading to a deeper level.”

Although Han Dong had inherited the Land Deed, he was not clear about the manor’s construction.

Quickly.

By merging into shadows, Jane found the secret mechanism.

Crash Bang~ The gears turned, and the stage lowered.

The bottom of the stage opened an access to a spiral staircase leading deeper.

The lower ends corresponded to several important areas, including:

The secret room of the Count used for holding Land Deeds,

The Hidden Treasure Vault of Scarlet Manor.

And his unique mysterious office, which was completely isolated from the manor through some means.

The office contained numerous scrolls of parchment, letters, and some special communication tools. These all symbolized the network of relationships the Count had established with non-Blood God forces privately.

“Hahaha~ Ah!”

Merely finding the Count’s secret office set off a fit of manic laughter in Han Dong.

Han Dong quickly pinched his cheeks to suppress his laughter, “Don’t mind me… I can’t control [Laughing Madness] just yet. Let’s all search for clues together…”

With the reading of these files, everyone’s expressions changed more or less.

“This Count is merely profiting for himself by leveraging the convenience of the ‘Movable Deed’… All sorts of invasions are based on high bounties and the demands of other forces.

The Count himself is in contact with at least five former King’s forces.

In various invasion actions, he profits to the maximum extent.”

“No wonder there are some weird entities in the Guard Army. The power they wield is not that of the Blood Descendants… They are the Guard Army cultivated by the Count through other means.”

“This letter is a little strange…”

Again it was Jane who had discovered an unsigned white letter hidden at the bottom of a drawer.

The contents of the letter had been encrypted, even interspersed with many ‘limbless’ strange symbols.

Han Dong took the letter, finding it was not language from outside the city, and his Little Demon Eye couldn’t decode it.

“Since this letter was sent for the Count to read, perhaps it’s directional and only the Count can understand it… Let’s try this.”

Han Dong took a bottle of Blood Brew wine stored beneath the office desk and poured it directly onto the white paper.

The strange symbols became complete due to the immersion of Blood Brew. The redundant parts of some texts were also eliminated by the Blood Brew, transforming it into a language outside the city that Han Dong could read.

A smile spread across Han Dong’s face.

“Mission accomplished. As long as this is handed over to Mr. Black White, the big thing in Holy City can be rooted out.

Also, this matter involves a troublesome person. After you return to Holy City, Seniors, go directly to your Knight Regiment. Getting involved might bring unnecessary trouble.”

“Besides…” Lucius himself strongly despised the traitors.

“Next, I need to conduct the Transfer Ceremony in the Land Deed storage room… Captain Lucius, Dumps, you guys stay.

Senior Jane and Lenze, wait for us in the manor.

We will later use the mountain’s secret passage to leave. The Crowman will transfer us… we will first go to Stuart Manor, then transfer to a secret carriage to return to Holy City.

During this time, if any Knight Regiment tries to find and assist us in returning to the city, they must be avoided.”

“Avoid the Knight Regiments? Are you suggesting … that the person involved in this message might kill off people outside the city?”

“There is a strong probability. We must secretly infiltrate back to Holy City and hand this letter over to Mr. White… We mustn’t let down our guard before those implicated by this letter have faced judgment.”

“Who is it that has Knights Regiment under their control?” Lucius’s curiosity was stirred.

“A high-ranking individual comparable to the Captain.”

At this statement, Lucius’s expression became serious, nodding in agreement to Han Dong’s plan.

Under Han Dong’s arrangement, the three of them came to the highly concealed Land Deed room.

“Hahaha!!”

Another bout of laughter erupted. Han Dong’s emotions seemed to have been magnified due to his Breaking of the Breed. Any slightly stimulating thing could make Han Dong laugh uncontrollably.

“…I may have gotten a bit too excited. Wealth like that of the Scarlet Manor is completely beyond my expectations. I have decided that I am the primary owner and manager of the Land Deed.

Dumps, you are the second holder.

Senior Lucius, you were officially granted the title of Viscount through the Blood God’s ‘Red Banquet’… I would like to invite you to be the third holder, with the freedom to enter the manor and the right to control part of the Blood Descendants.”

Such a choice by Han Dong was considered.

Although according to the war rules the Land Deed had undergone a change of ownership and belongs to the former king… The Land Deed’s surface had already been branded with the Yellow Mark, replacing the original Blood God Mark.

But this matter may inevitably attract the attention of the Blood God, and even resentment.

After all, according to the Yellow Robe Being, the Movable Deed is quite rare.

If Senior Lucius, who was granted a nobility title by the Blood God himself, becomes one of the holders, the possibility of the Blood God coming to the door would be greatly reduced. It may even establish a special relationship.

“If I also participate in [Big Expedition], I can bring the Moving Manor along. Captain Lucius, you can then fully exert your strength with the manor.”

“Okay.”

Just like that.

All three people left their names on the surface of the Land Deed.
