My Cell Prison
Chapter 1024 - Chapter 1024 Chapter 123 Next Steps

Chapter 1024: Chapter 123 Next Steps Chapter 1024: Chapter 123 Next Steps Han Dong, having obtained the answer to the first question, pondered deeply in the Dreamlands for several hours.

Along with the massive influx of information, his mind continually expanded the calculations.

Although curious about what kind of squad nearly obliterated this world, Han Dong refrained from asking more questions… after all, he had already settled on “two questions” previously, and being greedy in front of Toad Ancestor was not a wise move.

The next question then followed.

“What state is London City, located in northern Europe, in?”

Since the arrival of the Upper Old King and his professed ‘playful attitude’ towards the expedition, Han Dong had started to doubt the ultimate purpose of the [Big Expedition].

Was it really just about using the information from the Old King Stone Tablet to travel thousands of miles to London City to slay a Lower-class Old King?

No… perhaps the Big Expedition carried far greater significance behind it, involving critical decisions at the hidden levels of the Holy City.

Perhaps the Expeditionary Army was heading to London City because they had discovered some crucial information on the Dark Tablet.

If Toad Ancestor said there were no issues, Han Dong was simply overthinking, and he would normally return to the Expeditionary Army to continue the operations of the Big Expedition.

If there indeed were issues, then Han Dong would need to reassess his plans.

…

“Since you have asked about London City, it seems that your human side also has its secrets.

You now have the qualifications to know.

After all, you happened to encounter a team of Dark Denizens during the events related to Fate… according to Maritzis’s description, you have already had rather in-depth interactions with them.

About a year ago, a group of ‘participants’ appeared in London City.”

“What!” Han Dong had speculated in his heart, but he hadn’t expected it to actually happen.

“However, the situation isn’t particularly severe… the level of those ‘participants’ is quite ordinary, limited to activities within London City. But they have caused a certain number of Demon deaths.

This is also the first participant invasion incident that has occurred in the three hundred years since the Door of Fate reappeared.”

The information provided by Toad Ancestor felt like a huge stone dropping into the pond of his heart, splashing out copious amounts of water.

“Could it be that the purpose of the Expeditionary Army is not to attack London City but to ‘verify’?

To verify whether our world has been incorporated into the Black Tower as one of the worlds of Fate’s journey?

No… there might be other objectives, but verification is certainly among them.”

Having asked this much, Han Dong already knew what his next course of action should be.

“Toad Ancestor, you will have to transport us to a location at a later time.”

“Not returning to your human army?”

“Although I’d like to return and experience the life of the Big Expedition.

My return wouldn’t significantly elevate the Expeditionary Army… it’s better to establish the ‘bridge’ in advance.

Please, Toad Ancestor, in two separate trips.

First, take my friends back to the Expeditionary Army, for them to report safety and also to brief the various leaders of the army on our experiences in N’Kai during this time period.

Secondly, please transport Maritzis and me to London City.”

“That can be done.”

“Thank you, Toad Ancestor.”

Toad Ancestor placed his palm on his bald head and rubbed, “Now that your question has been answered, I too have two questions seeking answers.”

“Please ask, Toad Ancestor! I will answer anything I know…”

Han Dong stared at the middle-aged greasy man opposite him who was ‘dribbling with one hand’, unable to imagine that this was a potentate of an Upper Rank Old King without prior knowledge.

“The Fetters of Weariness on me are restrained to 20% due to the Blue Jade you brought back.”

Thus, I would also gain more free time, able to manage both reality and the Dreamlands simultaneously.

“How did you acquire such a precious awakening stone?”

Based on my understanding of Fate, individuals can only enter worlds that match their level… The highest world level you could’ve entered is the Ancestor Body level, there shouldn’t be such a stone.

The matter of the Black Tower must not be divulged.

Having no choice, Han Dong pointed to the Black Whirlpool on his body and said, “I also considered your rank, Toad Ancestor, you surely wouldn’t need anything from the World of Fate.

This stone was acquired by spending all my points and through a series of coincidental opportunities, exchanged from a special organization.

The Toad Ancestor also knew that I had almost returned in a ‘near-death state’… it was the price paid to exchange for the stone.”

To such a response, the Toad Ancestor was quite satisfied.

He placed a hand on Han Dong’s shoulder and whoosh!

Spatial transmission, directly taking Han Dong out of the secret room.

They arrived at the top of the Night Demon waterfall, from here the entire view of Lake Ubos was visible, even seeing groups of merfolk that looked like elves frolicking in the lake.

Behind them, occasional strange growling sounds could be heard: several hunched Moon Beasts were moving through the woods.

The sky was filled with kind stars and colorful, brilliant milky ways, occasionally spotting Nightmares arranged in spell-like patterns flying through the sky.

[Dreamlands]

Han Dong was immediately captivated by the beautiful scene before him.

Just as the Toad Ancestor said, this was an independent space created by many Old Kings and upper-tier beings from the deep sea… Even if the original world shattered, everyone could still move back here to live.

“Second question, where did your head come from?”

While Han Dong was immersed in the beautiful scenery, a question pulled him back.

Facing the ‘warm and friendly’ Toad Ancestor, there was nothing to hide, and Han Dong was also seeking answers regarding his head… he might even learn some vital information from the Toad Ancestor.

“From a prison head I found.

Specifically what prison, why I ended up in that particular prison, I’m not quite sure… The only clear thing is that this head’s original owner must have been the manager of that prison.

When I acquired the head, the prison had also disappeared.”

“The manager’s head?”

“Do you know anything, Toad Ancestor?”

“Not quite sure, after all, I have been bound by the Fetters of Weariness for many years, living mostly in the Dreamlands… The information you provided, I can’t find anything corresponding in my mind.

It seems you’ll have to ask that grey fellow yourself to know the origin of the head.

I even thought it was that guy who actively separated out a sub-head… after all, his powers are quite unique, even among the upper-tier beings.

Well, let’s leave it at that, Nicholas…”

“Hmm.”

“Since you’ve decided to head directly to London City with Maritzis, according to the information in my hands, your Big Expedition team is still some distance from London, and there are several key cities blocking the way.

Even if you move quickly, it will take more than half a year.

I suggest you stay in Toad City for three months and seriously study the ‘Book of Dead Spirit (Leg Manuscript).’

Meanwhile, I will grant you certain privileges, allowing you to traverse different areas of N’Kai quickly, which will be beneficial for your studies and understanding.

Although London City is only governed by a Lower-class Old King, the level of danger there is much higher than here…

As a participant’s first invasion area, besides you, perhaps other forces are also stealthily heading to London City, get prepared before you go.”

“Alright.”
