Chapter 357: Chapter 357: Meeting the Great Plague Chief
On the way back by carriage.
Knowing Mr. Black White’s attitude, Han Dong could freely go to the [Library] to study skills related to ‘Magic’ without restraint.
All the burdens he had been carrying in his heart were momentarily put down.
Unable to resist his fatigue, he lay directly on the spacious carriage seat and fell into a deep sleep.
The tiredness was natural.
Han Dong’s brain had been operating at high efficiency for almost a whopping 30 hours. He was so tired… As he slept on the seat, drool continuously seeped out from the corner of his mouth.
……
No one knew how long he had slept.
When Han Dong woke up again, he smelled a weird mix of sandalwood, rotten eggs, and spoiled organs in the air.
Groggily, he opened his eyes, staring at a black chandelier hanging from the ceiling.
A toad was used as the base of the chandelier, and a candle made from animal fat was burning on it.
In the wooden room.
Many algae decorations hung around, and a huge, slimy fish head specimen was suspended above the bed.
That smell was coming from these decorations and the candle.
On the slightly damp bed, Han Dong was not alone; his arm was gently held by someone else.
He looked down and saw Mia dressed in a black gauze robe sleeping on his side.
“Is this… the Witch’s house in the Dead Water Marsh?”
Mia also woke up at this time.
Her face had a hint of blush as she stared at Han Dong’s cheek. They hadn’t done anything, but at least they had slept side by side.
Han Dong didn’t have any extra thoughts. He got up immediately and put on a black coat.
“Wait for me… The teacher and Great Plague Chief are outside. It’s better for us to go out together. Otherwise, if it’s only you, the teacher might give you a hard time.”
“Alright then.”
As Mia got up.
Her slim waist slightly bent backward, stretching into a big yawn.
The slightly transparent black gauze robe revealed her almost perfect tall figure… However, just as Mia thought that Han Dong would be attracted by her body and steal a glance, she found out that Han Dong was looking down checking his pocket watch to see if anyone messaged him during this period, he was completely indifferent to such a ‘scenery’.
Mia muttered with puckered lips, immediately changed into a normal witch costume, and sheathed the Demon Sword in her wand… Considering this as getting ready.
In the living room of the [Witch’s House].
A cup of toad skin and lizard tail tea was placed in front of each person.
“You got three points at once!?”
When Han Dong spoke of his fate’s gains, even the witch showed a surprised look, increasingly leaning toward pairing Mia with this young man.
“Yes… I put all three points into the library.
I plan to let the two seeds enter the Seed-Breaking Phase simultaneously in the future to maintain balance. I wonder if the Great Plague Chief has any suggestions?”
With his rough fingers stroking the stubble on his face, the Great Plague Chief said:
“The pursuit of balance is necessary, but the content of my major and minor studies is different from yours… Detailed guidance doesn’t make much sense.
At present, you should fill up the knowledge of the [Library] first.
Speaking of which, the management of the [Library] is much stricter than [Mysticism]. Mr. Black White should have found connections for you, right?”
“No, I have some relationships in the library myself. Mr. Black White suggested that I use my own relationships.”
“Then if Mr. Black White says so, it should be fine.
I will only remind you of one thing: never neglect Mysticism in the process of studying the knowledge related to the [Library] deeply.
In the process of learning, you are more seeking a kind of ‘resonance’.
I am not very good at expressing things in words, but you should understand what I mean.”
Naturally, Han Dong understood. He had planned to fuse magic and witchcraft from the beginning… He would certainly not lean toward either side in the process of study and cultivation.
“Come to find me when both of your seeds have reached the Seed-Breaking Phase…”
Seeing that the Great Plague Chief had expressed his stance, Han Dong did not ask any further.
“Then I won’t bother you anymore…”
Han Dong was prepared to leave and scheduled to officially report to the library with Dumps when.
“Wait a moment.”
“Huh? Is something the matter, Chief?”
“The [Plague Energy] inside you seems to be a bit different. Release it and let me take a look? There’s no need to worry… We’re all on the same team here.”
What the Great Plague Chief felt here was naturally the ‘black filth’, Han Dong’s fusion of pollution and extramural power.
Seeing the Great Plague Chief holding the witch in his arms, Han Dong nodded slightly.
He reached out with his right hand.
A black energy immediately began to condense in the palm of his hand.
The plague energy, which didn’t look quite pure and was entwined with streaks of pulsating energy on its surface, shot out from the palm of his hand, completely different from the common plague energy.
The moment the black energy emerged, a polluted smell diffused through the room.
The Great Plague Chief just stretched out his hand and easily caught the black energy, including the ‘Power of Pollution’ fused within it, absorbing it into his palm.
Of course, the Great Plague Chief couldn’t absorb the pollution.
He was merely using the ‘Disaster’ within him to completely obliterate the pollution.
“Hmm… Interesting! However, the fusion of the two is still rather crude.
Just as well, you can learn how to precisely control and fuse energy in the [Library].
After all, those scholars with poor physical fitness there have some unique skills in terms of magic power fusion.”
“Thanks for your advice, Great Plague Chief.”
As Han Dong left.
Witch-Kaylonia, looking amazed, stared at her man.
“Modrelini, you… Don’t you really despise stuff from outside the city?”
“Indeed, I really despise it. If this kid weren’t a student of Mysticism, I might have executed him first, then reported it… But, he is a special student carefully selected by Mr. Black White. I trust Mr. Black White’s decision.”
“Mr. Black White again…”
The witch felt particularly uncomfortable every time she heard this name, especially when it was uttered by her man.
“And besides, you saw this student’s talent too! If he could develop an alternative talent tree like me while studying a minor, he will have a promising future; he might even change the current structure of the Holy City.”
“He’s just a young boy with unripe wings. He could fall at any moment… Even Mr. Black White couldn’t predict the future, hm!”
At this time.
The witch turned her attention to her student.
“Mia… Show your Demon Sword to the Great Plague Chief.”
“Yes!”
As the Demon Sword was unsheathed, the terrifying phantom of a woman in a kimono faintly appeared.
“Good… Getting a [unique] quality equipment in the Apprentice Knight stage? If you want to learn a foreign sword technique, I will ask some of my Crusader friends to help you in the academy.”
“Thank you, Great Plague Chief.”
“The students of your generation are pretty good… I am looking forward to your future performance along with Nicholas.”
