Chapter 1136 - Chapter 1136 Chapter 1135 Arctic Circle

Chapter 1136: Chapter 1135: Arctic Circle Chapter 1136: Chapter 1135: Arctic Circle As Eugene left,

the Eye barrier in the room transformed into a trailing shadow and quickly withdrew towards Eugene’s departing silhouette.

In its place, Han Dong released the Yellow Sand Domain to reseal the room… It wasn’t until then that Maritzis truly relaxed.

She was different from Han Dong.

Or rather, 99% of Demons, even those of Ancestor Return-level Lords, couldn’t manage to interact with “Element Bodies” normally without any psychological burden like Han Dong.

Especially Eugenes, whom she saw as an embodiment of supreme villainy, kept Maritzis on edge throughout their encounter.

“Nicholas, I always feel like Eugenes is hiding something from us… Although you have the Messenger status and the attention from the higher-ups because of the London game, it’s still better to be cautious.

The [Shoggoth Clan] lurks in the dark corners of the world, symbolizing ultimate evil, this guy might have designs on your body.”

“He’s hiding more than just a thing or two from me.

Once it surpasses my inner ‘safety line,’ I will decisively halt the operation and see how things go in the Antarctic first.”

“Hmm… Now that we’re free, maybe we should?”

Maritzis was about to make a suggestion when suddenly she felt a spatial fluctuation.

Following that, a pink octopus leg crashed onto her.

“Let Nicole have some fun with you. This is my first time on a large sailing ship to the Antarctic, I want to go out and see the scenery.”

“Alright, if you get tired of being outside, come back… Nicole and I will always be here.”

Maritzis made a confident face at Han Dong, then sank into the embrace of the octopus tentacles.

Although what happened on the bed behind him was interesting, Han Dong’s interest lay elsewhere.

Eugenes had mentioned a special term in his conversation–Miskatonic University.

According to Eugenes,

this group of “Antarctic Hunters” risked their lives to head to the Antarctic to collect certain materials or capture living creatures, supplying these to the university.

“Demon University?”

Filled with doubts, Han Dong headed to the front deck.

He observed the wooden crates stacked there; aside from the seals on their surfaces, they indeed bore a circle of white crest marks–“circular, shield, book, 1690.”

While Han Dong was scrutinizing these crates, the Coral Ship officially set sail.

First, the vessel was enveloped in a bubble that isolated the seawater and supplied oxygen to the interior, allowing it to swiftly advance underwater for ten minutes before rapidly ascending.

The calm sea surface emerged like a giant coral.

Carrying a full load, the Coral Ship officially headed towards the Antarctic.

The boundless ocean merged with the sky-covering mist, and the island where everyone had initially been was now thousands of meters away… At this speed, it probably wouldn’t take a few days to reach the Antarctic.

“It seems Eugenes’s mentioned timeframe of one month might be reduced significantly… Count, are you there?”

“What is it?” The Count who had been used as a mount recently felt psychologically uncomfortable, the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

“What is Miskatonic University, Count, do you know?”

“Isn’t there a well-informed Toad Demon in your room? Just ask her directly, I really don’t want to answer your questions right now.”

“It’s just a ride, why so stingy? I promise you, if we encounter danger in the Antarctic, I’ll consider lending you my body to utilize.”

Really though.

After experiencing riding the Bloodhound, Han Dong now had an idea of making the Count his dedicated mount… options like the “Yandaros Hound” or “Mr. Black White’s Raven Carriage” could be disregarded altogether.

“You will definitely need to give me your body for this Antarctic voyage, there are many complications… Alright, I’ll reluctantly tell you.

Miskatonic University is, as you guessed, established in the manner humans pass down knowledge to their offspring, a top-tier university.

It is also the only Demon University, where only newborn demons that meet various standards have the opportunity to enroll.

Like the element bodies you encountered, they must have spent some time there.”

At this point, Han Dong originally wanted to take a dig at the Count, asking why he had not enrolled, but he decided against it.

“By the way, where is this university located? Why haven’t I heard much about it before?”

“I don’t know, or rather, only a very few core members within the university circles know where the university is located… even the students who have spent time inside don’t know its true location.

It is said that the demons chosen for Miskatonic University receive a unique school badge, which, through resonance with a space device, allows them to be directly transported into the campus.”

“Hmm? It’s that secretive?”

“Yes, this school harbors unspeakable secrets.

Another rumor is that the university is linked to [The Key to the door], which is also the source of the void energy in your body. Also, there are double-digit numbers of Old Kings who have more or less connections with this university.

All these pieces of information come from the Count himself, who gathered them from various powers, and they are exceedingly precious.”

“Interesting… If it can later be confirmed that Eugenes has no issues, I could directly ask him.”

Han Dong quietly noted down the name of the university, thinking he might visit it someday.

“Right! Your eyes, specifically that Demon Eye on your forehead, the associated ‘Book of Dead Spirit (Eye Manuscript)’ might very likely originate from there.

Another rumor states that among the many books in Miskatonic University, there is an imitation copy of the ‘Book of Dead Spirit’ at the highest limit.”

“Alright, I will definitely look for an opportunity to check it out.”

Han Dong stood at the end of the deck enjoying a moment of peace.

Gradually, he also adapted to life on board, just as Eugenes had said… Although this exploration team felt a bit off, they meant no harm to him and his companions and even provided delicious meals on time.

…

Days passed.

Leveraging the aquatic nature of the Coral Ship, its speed was three times that of an ordinary large sailboat.

On the ninth day around noon.

The Coral Ship officially entered the Antarctic sea area, unhindered as it passed through the colorful membrane that enveloped the entire region.

Suddenly, Eternal Night lifted.

Bright sunshine immediately filled the entire sailboat.

Han Dong, who had stayed under Eternal Night for a long time, struggled to adapt and even resisted staying in the sunlight.

However, the essence of being human quickly prevailed in the short term; he stepped onto the deck to enjoy the long-missed sunlight.

Standing straight at the end of the deck, he opened all three eyes to gaze into the distance.

The majestic sight of the Antarctic glacier came into view, along with a sight Han Dong did not expect in his image of Antarctica.

A Black Mountain very far from the shore, likely located in the central region of Antarctica.

It was three times taller than the tallest surrounding glacial peaks.

This Black Mountain, perhaps due to a peculiar magnetic field or the bizarre luster of its own material, cast a perfect ‘reflection’ in the azure sky.

From a distance, it appeared as if two black mountains were connected at the top, merging heaven and earth as one.
