My Cell Prison

Chapter 517: Chapter 517: The Laboratory of Scarlet Manor
 

The wooden shack journeyed back to the edge of Gain Forest on its tendrilled legs grown from its base.

After precisely 90 hours.

Dumps finally became a “Breaking Seed”, forming rather perfectly structured Talent Tree within his brain, the specifics of which are unknown for now… Nevertheless, when Dumps opened his eyes, one could see the sabulous and pure Nether Essence shimmering and swirling within his pupils.

However, Dumps’ overall appearance didn’t change much.

“Such a pure magical body… indeed, it was worthwhile for me to seek out for such a long time.

As long as I don’t run into Nicholas at the Knight Convention, there’s no problem getting a good score… After all, the excellent Knight’s Emblems issued directly by the Holy City are of great value.

There are still months to prepare well.

If I could be selected in the Knight Regiment by merit and secure a position in advance, I could take deeper roots in Holy City and reestablish my private organization.”

Just as Dumps was returning to the hub hall of the wooden shack with a smile, satisfied with his transformation into a “Breaking Seed”… his smile suddenly froze.

In the hall,

Mother had completely broken the “Sensory Seal”, all four of her arms had left her head and spread out on the tabletop.

Even Dumps found it hard to face Mother’s [Appearance].

This had completely disarrayed the “Senses” in the current area of the hall.

If one speaks inside the current area, it would likely be disassembled into completely different words and tones before they can reach someone else’s ears.

However, in this kind of environment,

Han Dong was laughing while communicating normally with “Mother”… It seemed the laughter attribute could barely resist this disruption.

Seeing Dumps appear, Mother once again locked the ‘Sensory Field’ to avoid causing any impact on Dumps who had just transformed.

“Congratulations, Dumps!”

“You’ve met the expected standards… Where is Mia?”

“Her transformation process seems a bit different, it might take a few more days… Why don’t you accompany me to Scarlet Manor first, Dumps? We can return to the city together after Mia completes her transformation.”

“Alright!”

The cabin docked at the edge of Gain Forest.

As there were no tribes in this forest region.

Han Dong took out the “Moving Land Deed” in his hand.

By using a special method and verifying his identity with drops of blood, Han Dong activated the deed.

In the blink of an eye.

A large-scale Manor appeared directly in the current area.

Every ten meters along the black latticed fence, a crimson gargoyle statue stood tall, ensuring that the Scarlet Manor remained uninfiltrated.

“My Lord!”

In the victory of war, all the Blood Descendants who once belonged to the Count became Han Dong’s captives.

Han Dong was a particularly “merciful” lord, completely not resentful. As long as the Blood Descendants truly submitted to him, he granted them amnesty and restored their identities, leaving them in the Scarlet Manor to continue their affairs.

After Han Dong took over, the Scarlet Manor underwent certain changes.

The [Pet Breeding Area] in the backyard has been completely transformed into an [Experimental Laboratory] by Han Dong.

Under Swollen Doctor’s charge, Stuart’s experimental devices were incorporated on a mass scale. They committed to refining the cultivation of Blood Descendants and conducted completely new genetic grafting surgeries.

Having confirmed the power of science in the war, Han Dong was bound to greatly continue the development.

Focusing on the Blood-related Servants prunning the Manor’s front yard, Dumps found himself puzzled as he sensed no hint of frenzy stemming from the “Blood Thirst”.

“Nicholas… How did you solve the problem with Blood Brew? If these Blood Descendants do not receive Blood Brew, they will suffer from serious ‘Thirst for Blood Disease,’ falling into an extreme state of madness within three days.”

“Indeed, this problem bothered me for the first month… but I finally solved it.”

“Did you sign a contract with the Blood God?”

“No… I wouldn’t engage in such a folly as to bind myself in chains.

To get Blood Brew from the Blood God requires too high a cost; I can only make it myself.”

“Make it yourself?”

Dumps couldn’t understand; Blood Brew isn’t just some ordinary alcoholic beverage – it must be produced by the Blood God, traced through thousands, tens of thousands, of diluted means to yield large quantities of Blood Brew, distributed to the nobles under its command, maintaining the stability of the Blood Descendants around the world.

“Come with me…”

Han Dong led Dumps to the [Experimental Area].

A giant dome area painted pure white.

The walls were densely arranged with an improved type of cavity, allowing nurturing of certain Blood Descendant individuals.

Over six months, borrowing money from Dumps, Han Dong bought a vast amount of materials in the Holy City and constructed this [Blood Brew Laboratory], dedicated to Blood Brew research.

The Swollen Doctor, having evolved into a demon, was here to conquer the ‘Blood Brew’ problem.

With cell biology and genetics as basis, Han Dong, in collaboration with the doctor using the scientific foundations outside, successfully completed a research paper titled “Study on the Mechanism of Blood Brew and the Adaptability of Infected Bodies.”

“The Blood Brew produced by the Blood God indeed cannot be replicated; this is without a doubt.

But, the primary reason that infected bodies endlessly crave Blood Brew is due to the ‘Bloody-hormone’ contained within it. The existence of this hormone merely causes the infected bodies to develop a strong dependency – it doesn’t enhance their abilities.

This hormone can be replicated.

I just need to add enough of this hormone into the water supply of the Scarlet Manor, to satisfy the Blood Descendants.

At the same time, this can gradually reduce their dependency on Blood Brew and focus on developing their own unique traits.”

“Unbelievable, this is the first time I’m hearing such a theory… what are these cultured things in these cavities?”

“A new project… grafting the genes of ‘Blood Bats’ into ‘Ghouls’, tentatively named ‘Bat Ghouls’, to enhance the aerial combat capability of the manor.

However, the current vitality index is not high enough, and further experimentation is required.”

“You really plan on creating an unparalleled army for invasions, Nicholas?”

“I can’t even manage the affairs inside the city, let alone invading others outside. I merely aspire to increase the manor’s strength to avoid being attacked by others.

Moreover, if someday we are driven to desperation, we still have a backup plan.

Besides, Dumps, you are the second-in-command of the Scarlet Manor. If anything happens, you can hide here as well.”

Dumps being a smart man understood Han Dong’s intention of bringing him here, and promptly transferred the money.

“10000 copper coins have been deposited into the personal Treasury”

“If you’re short on funds for experimentation, contact me anytime.”

“Alright… Dumps, since we have nothing to do these days, the private theater is a perfect place for a match… The knight selection is imminent, should we warm up first?”

Han Dong was quite curious about Dumps’s [Breaking the Breed].

“Alright…”

Accompanied by manic laughter and thunderous sound, a completely off-the-charts knightly duel erupted in the Scarlet Manor.

The Holy City also began preparing for this year’s ‘somewhat special’ knight selection.

Due to the return of the Hell Knight Corps – Captain Marlon, the rumored [Hades Steps] hidden beneath the Three Gods Steps were officially opened, allowing a special area in the Holy City to see the light of the day again…
