After all, it’s just a “Girl’s Diary”.
The contents mainly depict the events happening around the girl, thus only showing the situation in Stuart Manor to some extent.
However, the information provided by the diary contents is quite satisfactory to Han Dong.
Some content in the diary also confirms the validity of what the girl had previously said.
Indeed, she was chained by her mother under an apple tree in a unique treehouse.
However, this treehouse was built for her by her parents.
Rather than maliciously curtailing her personal freedom, they were trying to ‘protect’ her personal safety.
It was also mentioned in the diary.
This girl had congenital deformities, manifesting outwardly as ‘soft cartilage’ and ‘barkification’.
Her arms were as soft as a piece of meat, which wouldn’t hurt no matter how they were bent, and the surface was covered with a structure that resembled the hard shell of tree bark.
Moreover, ‘deformed children’ were very common in the the small town covered by the manor.
Neighbors around this girl had similar conditions.
From the girl’s self-dialogues in the diary, it could be inferred that servants who were born with deformities would be taken to Hill Castle, and they would never have the chance to come out again.
Because the girl had the cover of the treehouse, she was not taken away and naturally didn’t know about the situation inside the castle.
Another thing is…
The manor encourages people to have many children, and anyone who has more than ten can even obtain rewards.
Moreover, the entire situation in the manor was not right.
The little girl had once witnessed her parents catching people who came here… People in Stuart Manor collectively called outsiders ‘meat pigs’.
As long as they could give the ‘meat pigs’ to the lord, they could exchange for quite a lot of food.
Combining these two points of ‘high birth rate’ and ‘capturing outsiders’, it can explain why there are so many corpses accumulated in the underground area.
As for the issue of ‘birth defects’, it should be due to incest… Apparently, this was a mandatory rule set by the lord, deliberately causing many ‘deformed children’ to be born in the manor.
The deformed individuals who were sent to Hill Castle are likely to be connected with some evil rituals.
If they wanted to dig more secrets, they could only continue to go deeper.”
Han Dong closed the diary and shared the additional information with his team members.
As for the next step of ‘granary’ exploration, they should have a good sleep and resolve it the next day.
“Nicholas, can I borrow you for a while?”
“No problem.”
Facing Captain Abe’s invitation, Han Dong naturally couldn’t refuse.
Abe sought him out naturally for only one thing.
After all, Abe was a little confused. When he was dealing with the Black Hair Creature in the barber shop with Dumps, he didn’t understand how Han Dong and the Mysterious Apprentice could kill such a ‘high-level evil entity’.
Plus, it was in the barber Charlie’s lair below.
The Barber possessing black hair cultivation technology, who knows how much Black Hair he has accumulated in two hundred years. The danger level is self-evident.
“Why don’t we take a walk outside? After all, there are several Night Watchmen around the town, it’s not too dangerous, and if we’re lucky, we might come across some unusual things or clues.” Han Dong suggested.
“Hmm… I’ll make sure Dumps keeps an eye on the basement and to immediately notify us of anything strange.”
The basement of the residence is also a ‘risk point’ and needs to be kept under surveillance, even having someone watch it at all times.
In a short time,
Abe put on a hooded jacket that could disguise his appearance, joined Han Dong outside the door and began to take their nocturnal stroll. freewёbnoνel.com
While walking around the small town with Abe, Han Dong noticed:
Abe walks with powerful arm swings and steady strides. If one observes carefully, they would see that the dust stirred by each of Abe’s steps is almost identical.
The rhythm of his breathing, arm movements, and steps is completely consistent.
He could keep his energy consumption minimal and react to any combat situation at any time.
“This time’s hair task was all thanks to Nicholas… Even though I would love to know how you did it, everyone has their own secrets.
The stronger you are, the higher our team’s chance to receive an ‘excellent’ rating.”
Abe’s words were very tactful.
“I have some special skills in dealing with ‘Polluted Life’.” Han Dong simply replied.
“Hmm… What are your thoughts on this ‘Camp’? Our progress on the first day has far exceeded expectations, and we have also speculated about the next exploration route.
Is the speed too fast? Is there a possibility that it may evolve into a situation that we cannot control?”
“The speed is okay, just maintain it.
We just need to focus on the underground area…As for the ground situation, let’s leave it to other knights.
I think this training may involve some secrets. If we can go deeper into the manor, we might receive some unexpected benefits.”
Han Dong just stated it on the surface.
In fact, regarding the fast exploration, Han Dong has a certain selfish motive… he wants to extract more polluted essence to reach the quantity necessary for improving the Little Demon Eye.
In addition to the recently learned ‘Chaos Weapon’, if they can solve more of Stuart’s family executives, maybe they can obtain similar items. They can be sold for money as well as used to raise Chen Li’s strength.
“If I think there’s a possibility of ‘losing control’, I’ll try to slow down our exploration. I hope Nicholas, you won’t mind…”
“Hmm.”
The number of Night Watchmen in the town is quite large.
Basically, every street has 1-2 Night Watchmen patrolling back and forth, sometimes even climbing onto the roof to observe the situation around them.
The Night Watchmen were all wearing long black capes with hoods, holding a kerosene lamp in one hand.
The light from the lamp dimly reveals their faces.
Han Dong had noticed this very clearly after his observation.
During their casual chats about the school, they unconsciously crossed five streets, and it was almost time… Then when they were about to return to their rented house for rest,
“Strange… the appearance of this Night Watchman is exactly the same as the one on our residence street..”
“Hmm?” Abe obviously hadn’t observed these details, and besides, the firelight could only barely reveal the features… It’s really hard to differentiate.
“Abe, wait a moment.”
“Okay.”
Han Dong stood at the street corner, carefully observing the Night Watchman, confirming that he was only patrolling this street.
To corroborate that his observation was correct, Han Dong immediately sped back to his dwelling to find the Night Watchman here… The features were indeed the same.
Of course, it could also be a pair of twin knights.
With a try-and-see attitude, Han Dong approached the Night Watchman and explained the situation in detail.
The man revealed an eerie smile from under the hood.
The man immediately turned into a puff of blue smoke and disappeared, leaving only the Night Watchman’s robe and lamp… as well as a letter.
The Night Watchman task-triggered mnemonic
Note: The Night Watchman task is not limited to the squadron, it’s only limited to the triggering trainees and those within a 3-meter-radius of them. During the execution of the task, they may not seek external help.
