My Cell Prison

【Star-gazing room】

The stars twinkle.

The damage caused by Han Dong, such as the unbridled fungal colony, the giant scratches left on the ground, etc., was repaired and restored to its original state as the stars shone.

Testing is complete.

Mr. Black and White handed over a handwritten letter to Han Dong.

Take this letter and go see the Great Plague Chief... If he is free, he should give you a few words of guidance. It just so happens that he happens to be in the [Deadwater Swamp] right now.

Is there anything to watch out for?

It's okay to ask a few simple questions...but it's better to wait until he and the witch are done with their 'should do'.

Understand!

[Deadwater Swamp] is one of the dangerous areas in the mystery department, located behind the Darkmoon Tower.

The edge of the swamp is also the border of the Knights Academy.

A twisted, large tree with a terrifying face, one of the hallmarks of a swampy area.

A large number of carnivorous wet plants lurk in the swamp water that reaches 1/3 the height of a tree.

Once they feel the slight vibration of the water surface, the plants will open their large mouths or stick out branches with piercing and suction capabilities to quickly prey.

Pieces of rotten and moldy wooden boards hang in the air through the vines pulled by the strange trees, which are the only access roads in the swamp area.

[Backwater Swamp] covers an area comparable to that of Darkmoon Forest.

It is also the main educational venue for the Mystery Department.

Similar to how Han Dong studied plague in the old sewers, many apprentice knights who studied witch studies lived in the swamp for a long time.

Witchcraft is limited to female mystery apprentices.

When Han Dong walked among the wooden boards, he could see many book houses with different styles, built on the ends of the branches.

Apprentice witches are relatively demanding, and these treehouses are their main dormitories.

He was asked by [Witch-Karonya Mason] to spend more than 80% of his time in the swamp during the few years he was studying at the Knights Academy.

In order not to be conspicuous, Han Dong walked among the wooden boards in a bird beak costume.

During the current period, most of the witch apprentices are reading books related to alchemy and herbal medicine in their tree houses.

Or making witch soup\

,"Or making voodoo dolls that can curse others or help themselves suffer,

Or practice drawing of various techniques,

Every once in a while, a group of apprentice witches are called to the witch school in the heart of the swamp.

Accepting the assessment of [Witch-Karonya Mason] is equivalent to an irregular work report.

Once the report is unqualified, it will face extremely severe punishment.

Therefore, the witch apprentice gate, rarely leaves the tree house, and spends most of the time in penance inside.

However, Han Dong, wearing a bird's beak costume, still attracted the attention of many witch apprentices.

Pairs of eyes with dark circles were looking through the glass window at this mysterious apprentice who did not belong to the Backwater Swamp.

There was a lot of discussion about Han Dong's arrival.

After walking in the swampy area for about half an hour.

Crunch!

There was a sound of opening the door from the twisted tree not far from Han Dong's side.

From the door of the tree house at the top, a woman with slightly twisted limbs 'crawled out'.

In a crawling way similar to spiders, he easily crawled and jumped among the twisted trees, and seemed to be familiar with the life in the swamp area.

As he was crawling down the trees, his black hair hung down and covered his face.

With her spider crawling posture, in the gloomy swamp shrouded in the dark moon, it is really scary.

When there was still three meters left from the plank, the woman jumped down lightly.

Lightly step on the board with bare feet, through the buffering process between the toes and the soles of the feet, it will not cause any pressure on the decaying board.

Stand face to face with Han Dong.

The woman wears a loose and ordinary white linen coat, tightened by a corset...and a pair of leggings underneath, so as not to reveal the 'secret' during the crawl.

He wears a few odd bracelets on his wrists strung with 'herbs, ebony pieces, octopus taxidermy, bat wings...'

There are also some exquisite witchcraft tattoos on the palms and arm joints, which can effectively assist witchcraft casting.

He wears half a wooden mask on his face, and the other half shows beautiful and deep black pupils and big eyes, plus slightly thicker lips, a melon-seed face, and short black hair.

Student Nicholas, is that you? What are you doing here in Backwater Swamp?

This little Turkish girl actually directly recognized Han Dong's identity... You must know that this bird-beak costume given by Mr. Black and White can hide his breath and hide his identity.

Mia classmate.

That's right.

This is the same batch of outstanding students who entered the mysterious department as Han Dong - [Mia Seminovich].

When everyone passed the dangerous test and gathered in the hall, Mia milled and produced a large amount of medical herbs and distributed them to the injured classmates.

Moreover, when Han Dong went to the Adventurer's Guild for the first time, he also saw her in the corner of the first floor.

It's really you! I knew it!

When you were temporarily taken away, it was definitely not because of a problem with the assessment, but because Mr. Black and White wanted to see you... This portable beak costume with goggles function was also given to you by Mr. Black and White, right?

Well... Mr. Black and White is my second mentor.

Wow! I'm so envious!

Mia interlaced her fingers and hugged her chest, her cold black pupils carefully examining Han Dong.

Haha. Han Dong didn't know how to respond except for an embarrassed smile.

Nicholas classmate...what are you doing in [Backwater Swamp]?

It is generally forbidden for non-witch apprentices to enter. If you are discovered by Teacher Kaironya without a special permit, your end will be miserable!

Han Dong didn't answer, just showed the letter in his pocket a little.

The crow wax stamp on it is extra prominent.

When Mia saw the letter, she was a little excited and offered to lead the way:

It turned out to be introduced by Mr. Black and White, then there is no problem! I will take you there.

I heard that Teacher Kaironya is meeting with a very important guest today. All the work reports of our witch apprentices have been cancelled. I don’t know if she has time to see you.

It's okay, I can find a way, just go there alone.

Ah... well.

Han Dong directly staggered away from Mia and continued towards the depths of the swamp.

Even if the little magic eye is closed, it can help Han Dong clear the direction and go straight into the swamp... No one needs to lead the way.

Just as you get closer to the center of the swamp.

Han Dong suddenly stopped, and a cold voice came from the bottom of the bird's beak mask:

When are you going to follow?

With the shaking of the branches behind him, Mia, who was hiding and crawling among the branches, jumped onto the board again, sticking out her tongue embarrassedly:

I... I just want to see what you have to do with the teacher.

In addition, if you go further, you can't go through the plank... It's the first time you come to Backwater Swamp, you probably don't know how to get to the [Witch Academy], but I can take you to the teacher's residence.

Well, thank you.
