My Cell Prison

Chapter 42: 3 Divine Stairs



Chapter 42: 3 Divine Stairs

"The influence of the cemetery has weakened the bodies of ordinary people, causing them to be influenced by the minds of higher beings outside the city walls in their dreams at night, and to fall and turn into ghouls ... This!

Through a giant wall, it's even possible to make people fall through dreams.

What the hell is this newborn higher species!?"

Han Dong had thought that the origin of the 'ghouls' was caused by some sort of plague inflow, but he hadn't expected it to be related to something outside the city.

"Also, it means .

The nature of the ghouls is somehow related to what's outside the city walls... Hence the need to wear goggles to reduce visual pollution.

Why am I okay?

Is it because the "Faceless Head" itself is immune?"

Han Dong recorded all of his speculations in the book, and would slowly make his arguments in the future.

The ghoul's characteristics were also recorded in the book, including [Huge Strength], [Swift Movement], [Fungal Characteristics], and [Certain Regenerative Properties].

A gelatinous and elastic ghoul arm was placed on the table.

In the next second, the arm was taken directly to the portable prison by Han Dong.

Before entering the sterile lab, the arm was isolated individually using the sterile bag in the buffer chamber to prevent the fungus from spreading and contaminating the sterile room.

Han Dong now needed to think about the arm.

With such a weak flesh on its own, a solution had to be found... The best way Han Dong could think of was to use the point of the 'weight limit'.

"All cell essence has been injected, 'weight limit' increased by 2 points (Ghoul sample)

First, the cell essence of the ghoul was injected into the cell mass, which was quite a bit lower than expected... This way, the additional weight value at Han Dong's disposal was currently 27 points.

"How do I check the associated attribute value of this arm? It used to be through the contact of the cell mass...so, what now?"

Just as Han Dong asked himself, the voice from the head echoed in the sterile room.

Please place the flesh you wish to use on the testing table

"A testing station?"

When Han Dong turned around, there was a clean countertop in front of his side, with no apparatus except for a long, thin tubular scanner.

A foreign object was detected as placed on the counter top.

The scanner starts working, and in less than a minute, a paper report is generated from the side.

"Mature Ghoul's Arm" (name in green).

Quality: Excellent

The quality of the product is divided from low to high as follows.

Grey (rough) White (common) Green (quality) Blue (rare) Purple (unique) Pink (epic) Gold (legendary) Dark Gold (mythical).

Weight requirements: 22 points.

Base: slightly greater than normal strength.

Characteristics.

1. "Claw" - It can cut through hardwoods and stones with a loose structure.

2. "Graveyard Fungus" - When dealing damage to a target, it will infect the target at the same time.

Note: Arms can be homeostatically upgraded- Modification, virus infusion, and secret enhancement can all improve the quality of the arm and grant additional attributes.

"All of the basic characteristics are inherited, and the weight-bearing requirement is met... Once accepted, will my arm become like this?"

As Han Dong worried about the physical change problem, the system voice came again.

"Assimilated limbs can be "disguised" as requested by the subject, this function is provided by the faceless head."

In this way, Han Dong was no longer concerned about anything, and his weak flesh could finally change.

Arm access in progress, weight limit: 122/127

..........

For the next two days.

The Nicholas family underwent a dramatic change.

The schoolhouse had been subdivided a day in advance.

A Victorian-style single-story building with two floors and a basement, a river view house on the opposite side of the road from the [National Royal Knights Academy], metal art with marble interiors.

Just as the whole family was leaving with their luggage from the Samai commoners' area... Mother and Nina, who were sitting in the carriage, both cried out at the same time.

Han Dong looked dumbfounded and just watched the river.

"Thank you, brother."

"Mm."

From the bag of copper coins it only took less than ten coins to buy all the furniture.

In addition, at Han Dong's suggestion, another twenty-five copper coins were spent to purchase steam horses that had been slightly modified, with stability and ride-ability superior to ordinary horses, facilitating Nina's daily trips to the mechanic's workshop.

After all, this river view house also had matching stables, and metal horses were such a convenient means of transportation that middle-class families were equipped with at least one for easy travel.

Han Dong was considering whether or not to hire a nanny for Nicholas' mother, considering that the rest of his knight studies would be fully enclosed and he would only be able to go home during his free periods.

However, his mother insisted that she did not need to hire someone, stating that she did not adapt to not being waited on, so Han Dong was not forced to do so.

Moreover, Nina would return from the Mechanic's Workshop to accompany her mother before nightfall.

.......

All arrangements were made.

The scheduled third day of registration had arrived.

At 07:00 in the morning, Han Dong received a 'phone call' from exactly the wind-up device worn on his wrist.

"Nicholas Valen, please follow the guidance of the device and arrive at the trainee knight registration office in the academy by 08:30 to activate your knight card and receive your new student handbook."

At the end of the call, the wind-up device changed into a 'GPS' form thanks to Han Dong's research these days.

Han Dong hailed a carriage and drove for about half an hour against the almost invisible outer wall of the academy before he finally saw the gate of the [National Royal Knight Academy].

This showed how big this academy was.

The bronze door with advanced mechanical technology was in front of the gate, and in the center of the door was printed a huge knight's emblem - "Two swords crossed over the white horse's head".

Han Dong quickly inserted the trainee knight's golden card, into the socket on the side of the door.

Ka-la-la~ Boom-boom-boom!

Steam power pushes the gears in the door and the door slowly opens.

Not exactly the grassy campus scene one might expect.

In front of you is a hundred-meter high pure white staircase, which is closed on both sides by walls, with only one way to go up.

This staircase is the [Step of Ares]!

Talking about the 'staircase', it is necessary to talk about the basic structure of the [Holy City-Nointeana].

It is a city-state, with the Holy City covering half of Italy.

The state system is a constitutional monarchy with a parliamentary system.

The apocalyptic environment, the special talent screening mechanism of the Destiny Space, and the management by the parliament had resulted in a clear class division within the Holy City.

The difference between the different classes was not only economic, but also related to the issue of 'ability'.

Therefore, in the early stages of the establishment of the [Holy City-Nointeana], a complete renovation of the inner city was carried out after a decision was made by the council.

The plan was called "The Three Gods Stairs".

The first staircase-there were three flights, the Steps of Ares, the Steps of Hermes, and the Steps of Artemis.

The second staircase has two flights: the Steps of Poseidon and the Steps of Apollo.

The Third Staircase-Only one, the Staircase of Zeus.

(Rumor has it that there is also a fourth staircase-the Staircase of Hades, hidden below the ground, in the deepest depths.)

The construction of the Three Steps divided the Holy City into four city regions.

The difference in elevation between the different city areas is all at least fifty meters or more.

Once the outermost city walls were breached, only the outer civilian areas would fall.

At the same time, a second metal city wall would be raised up to a hundred meters high from the bottom of the Moslabi River to ensure security above the first staircase.

The [Steps of Ares] that Han Dong was facing was one of the first staircase!

It was also the most special one.

Because this ladder only allowed the passage of 'knights' with trainee knight status and above.

Directly to the Holy City - the second level of the [National Royal Knights Academy].
