Chapter 1627: Chapter 1625 Common Purpose

Mi University, recognized by all Old Kings as the "First University."

Enjoys spatial transmission rights across the entire universe, covering all cities (including small to large Land Deeds, various Neutral cities, and villages, nests, etc. that have completed spatial reception).

Associate Professors like Han Dong will enjoy free transmission privileges.

"Nicholas, aren’t we directly transmitting to the Zothique continent? Mi University just happens to have special transmission matrices... If we want to enter Zothique from ’outside,’ the process will be more complicated."

"Hmm, we’ll first go to the nearby port city and proceed to the Zothique Continent following the standard process.

Mainly because I don’t want to directly expose that we are from Mi University, and my identity... I once had a ’small conflict’ with M.O. due to some matters.

Directly relying on my identity as an associate professor, transmitting for a meeting would seem very disrespectful to them.

M.O. might not do anything to us due to the relationship with Mi University, but cooperation matters will be very difficult to negotiate.

Additionally, there’s also a ’Traveler’ who’ll be joining our ranks, and we need to meet him externally."

Sally frowned, "Who? Green or Pope?"

"Neither; you’ll know when the time comes."

[Arabian Peninsula]

In a remote, unpopulated desert corner, lies a special port city [The Nameless City]

Rather than saying it’s built here, it’s more like it emerged from the sea, directly connected to the desert’s edge.

Whenever a ’port’ is involved, it is invariably linked to the Deep Sea...

The existences within the Deep Sea manage port cities all over the world, even the entire universe,

Providing transportation services and collecting relevant fees for those Demons who wish to cross the ocean to a forbidden place, a secret space.

As long as money is given, the Deep Sea will quiet down.

Should one wish to sail alone, mysterious events in the Deep Sea will inevitably occur.

The same goes here.

It’s just that the "Deep-sea Divers" living amidst this desert city are somewhat different, even considered as outliers.

Perhaps because the city is established in a desert area,

Perhaps the Deep-sea Divers living here have been cursed somehow,

They don’t possess the strong physique typical of Deep-sea Divers, often appearing gaunt, emaciated, even giving off a feeling like a corpse or mummy.

The entire Nameless City is enveloped in a shroud of death.

It might also be closely related to their port transportation duties; that special route to the Zothique Continent has infected them with a strange illness, even gradually severing ties with the Deep Sea.

Buzz! Amidst a spatial fluctuation.

A man and a woman are transmitted here.

Han Dong has already disguised himself beforehand as the most commonly used ’Bird Beak Doctor.’

Sally also followed instructions to conceal the identity of the Fourth Element,

transforming the goat leg into similar long black silk legs, her body covered by a sand-colored cloak, resembling a human traveler crossing the desert.

"Sally, wait here for a bit... That ’companion’ should be arriving soon."

"Could it be a human?"

"Yes, the cooperation I want to discuss with M.O. is precisely related to the human main city."

As Holy City-Noyantana has officially been classified as a King Level city, a basic transmission network has been established, allowing direct spatial transmission to foundational cities on Earth’s surface.

Though it is impossible to directly reach [The Nameless City], it can transmit to the adjacent Arabian Peninsula region.

Approximately a wait of about ten minutes.

A steam carriage capable of concealing itself in the Yellow Sand arrives.

The first to step out are large brown-yellow leather shoes embedded with gears,

Immediately following,

A middle-aged man wearing a white aristocratic wig and draped in a brown leather robe steps out of the carriage... The instant release of his aura even makes Sally, who possesses a Mythic Body, show a vigilant expression, instinctively moving a step back.

Seeing this person, Han Dong is also greatly shocked.

"Mr. Newton, why did you come personally?"

The information Han Dong transmitted to Holy City was indeed received by Mr. Newton,

However, the content was hoping Mr. Newton could provide a living creation symbolizing steam technology, or have a Steam Knights’ Messenger meet with him.

This way, they could more intuitively negotiate cooperation matters.

Unexpectedly.

Symbolizing the highest technology of Holy City, holding immense power, and lauded as [Machine Brain], Kongriff Newton has personally come.

"Since you have confidence in meeting that Old King, and discussing technical cooperation, it is only courteous for me to personally come.

Currently, my mastery of steam mechanical technology has reached a bottleneck, making a meeting with this Old King quite significant.

If thoroughly negotiated, whether it’s I myself, the Steam Knights, or Holy City, substantial qualitative leaps will be made."

Mr. Newton’s seemingly common words impose invisible pressure on Han Dong.

"Hmm, I will do my very best."

Meanwhile, Mr. Newton also steps forward to hold Sally’s hand and, following noble etiquette, kisses the back of her hand.

Sally, unfamiliar with such etiquette, finds it somewhat repulsive at the moment... If Han Dong didn’t know the person, Sally might have already transformed into her True State, the Black Goat, and crushed him.

Yet Mr. Newton suddenly asks:

"Nicholas, this beautiful lady must be your companion, correct?"

Upon hearing this, Sally’s heart blossoms with joy, immediately dispelling her dislike towards Newton.

"Yes, Sally is also a very important partner of mine.

Now that everyone’s here, let’s enter the city first!

To reach the continent where the King of Ghoul resides, we must use the special route of this [The Nameless City]."

Han Dong immediately shows the Deep Sea Mark on the back of his hand to the shriveled Deep-sea Diver guarding outside the gate, obtaining the relevant entry qualification, and even attracting a designated person for reception.

Upon learning Han Dong’s purpose, the opposite party immediately arranges for a special sea vessel to the Zothique Continent.

However,

When everyone sees the so-called vessel, their expressions change unfavorably.

The entire ship at the port appears to be in tatters, similar to a ghost ship... judging by its current state of disrepair, it should have already sunk into the sea long ago.

Moreover, apart from Han Dong and the others, there are no other passengers at all.

"Respected Deep Sea Envoy!

[The Drowning of the Dead] is the necessary vehicle to the Zothique Continent, and we will dispatch the most professional captain to lead you."

Speaking,

A deep-sea diver as thin as a stick and as dwarfish as a pygmy comes forward, continuously pouring high-concentration rum into his mouth, with the body still stained with foul sludge from unknown origins.

The expression in his eyes reveals readiness for death.

At this moment, Sally explains:

"Indeed, Zothique is the continent of the dead... Only by boarding such a vessel, along the ancient route hidden among ocean currents, can you accidentally enter it.

There it is filled with resurrected demon variants, even ’Death’ itself will vanish."

With Sally’s explanation, the trio boards this dilapidated vessel.

As the ship sails,

Rotten deep-sea divers gather at the dock, taking out fishman skulls topped with candles, placing them on the water surface... these skulls will travel with the ship.

...

Simultaneously.

The ultimate destination of Han Dong’s journey, Dead City-Zurbaha at the center of Zothique Continent.

A young man with green hair, due to resonance sensing originating from the body’s ’Necrophage Cult,’ also arrived here not long ago.

Upon gaining precise information and sensing, he continuously deepens along a staircase that extends downward,

Approaching close to the bottom, with every breath inhaling a substantial amount of ash... The legendary [Skeleton Storage Place] seems to be at the very bottom.
