Chapter 858: Chapter 857: Invitation from Toad Ancestor
Perhaps as a price for delving deeply into mythology, or even combining with it, or perhaps because of being in a high position, he was repelled by the world.
Even this Toad Ancestor, who held a not insignificant status among the Old Kings, was subject to a constraint known as “lethargy”… The specific reason, at this stage, Han Dong was not clear and simply could not understand.
“How do you need our help?”
Since the Toad Ancestor had willingly lowered his status to talk with everyone in this way, there was definitely an opportunity to continue the conversation.
Moreover, Han Dong’s identity was extremely special.
When he was in contact with the Scarlet Count, he was planning to leverage the Count’s already established network to develop his own network of contacts outside the city.
Toad Ancestor.
A special and mysterious “Middle Position Old King.”
Such an opportunity to build a network with the Toad Ancestor was right in front of him, and naturally, Han Dong would not let it go.
However, there was a small problem right now.
As Han Dong asked how they could help, the Toad Ancestor did not respond… On closer inspection, Lord Maritzis, who was possessed by the Toad Ancestor, was actually standing and sound asleep.
This was the first time Han Dong had encountered such a situation.
The other party was an Old King… Wouldn’t it be impolite to wake him directly, but how long would we need to wait like this?
“Dumps, what do you think?”
“Since it’s not that the Toad Ancestor fell asleep of his own accord, it should be fine to wake him… Rumor has it that once the Toad Ancestor sleeps, it would be by the unit of years, and we can’t wait for that long.”
“Alright then.”
Han Dong first tried various common methods to wake him up.
Shouting, gently tapping on Lord Maritzis moist palm, and even trying to shake his shoulder, all without any response… The Toad Ancestor even slept more deeply, with lake-like clear saliva continuously flowing from the corner of his mouth.
Seeing this, Han Dong took a deep breath.
His long-suppressed mad laughter burst forth.
Hahaha~
The sound of mad laughter echoed through the cave, causing even the walls here to tremble.
As the mad laughter reached the Toad Ancestor’s brain, his body slightly trembled.
He shifted from a deep sleep to a lighter sleep stage, just a bit more to full awakening…
JJust then, Dumps immediately stepped closer.
This was because the Toad Ancestor was currently occupying Lord Maritzis’s body.
This kind of human-shaped female body trunk, Dumps was more than familiar with it… His skilled finger method targeted the back area, delivering a potent massage that could stimulate the brain nerves, allowing the head to regain clarity.
With the cooperation of the two.
The Toad Ancestor gradually opened his eyes, an incredulous look appearing in his profound eyes.
“Pfft… your fingers, really comfortable!”
Such ‘five-star praise’ Dumps had heard no less than a hundred times.
But this time was different, the praise was coming from an Old King.
“To be awakened in such a comfortable way, really nice.”
Seeing that the Toad had not only not become angry but instead seemed somewhat happy.
Han Dong also secretly gave Dumps a thumbs up… While also feeling envious as if he had eaten a lemon, Dumps could casually walk across both within and outside the city with just one finger.
“What exactly can we assist you with?”

“I have always been seeking a way to completely rid myself of ‘lethargy’… However, this mythological shackle is extremely difficult to break.
Despite using all kinds of methods, only to slightly extend the wakeful periods.
However, more than two hundred years ago.
In the major cities of your human kind, a special portal called ‘Fate Space’ appeared.
Entry is limited to life forms mixed with human bloodlines, even kings like us are restricted.
In the initial stages, by nurturing human believers, a vast number of dependents were sent in, though only a very few pure humans could come back… but we barely obtained the information I wanted.
In the ‘Fate Space’, there exists something that can effectively weaken lethargy, or even completely break it.
I need the assistance of you four to go there on behalf of the Gate of Toad to find such an item.”
Upon hearing this.
Han Dong and his companions all fell into deep thought.
Not to mention whether they could find the item to weaken lethargy for the Toad Ancestor.
Currently, the Knight Regiment is engaged in a battle in the wetland area with four forces led by the Ancestor Bodies… What would the Expeditionary Army think if Han Dong’s group left without a word?
Moreover, under the name of the Old King, heading from the ‘Corrupted Door of Fate’ to the Fate Space, what kind of encounters they might face is still unclear.
Should they become enemies with other ‘human teams’ in True Fate, that also poses a big problem.
Before Han Dong could even ask.
As he was stimulated by the mad laughter and massage, the Toad Ancestor, whose spirit had improved, continued to speak:
“I am willing to offer very good conditions:
1. As long as you are willing to go to Fate Space on behalf of the Toad, whether or not you obtain anything.”
The Toad Clan will voluntarily abandon the current campaign.
At the same time, when you successfully return, you will be given an opportunity to “Watch the Wall” and will be safely sent back to the Knight Regiment.
2. If you really obtain an item that can effectively alleviate lethargy and hand it over to me,
I will gift you a medium-sized Land Deed of [Lake Trasimeno-Toad Palace] and am willing to maintain a long-term cooperative relationship with you… If what you bring back exceeds my expectations, you will receive even greater rewards.”
When such conditions were presented,
Han Dong was immediately tempted, and Dumps’ expression also changed somewhat.
Next, it was necessary to weigh the pros and cons, risks, and feasibility of the offer.
Han Dong immediately asked, “Do we depart with you now, or wait until the Expeditionary Army conquers a city with the ‘Door of Fate’ and then proceed to it?”
“I will lead you to N’Kai… through the Gate of Toad.”
“I need to discuss with my companions first.”
“Mmm.”
The situation arose suddenly, and although in Han Dong’s consideration ‘the benefits outweighed the disadvantages’ … he still had to discuss it with his partners.
Dumps decisively gave his opinion:
“The Toad Ancestor has no need, nor any reason, to lie to deceive us… Besides, Han Dong, as the Deep Sea Envoy, this is a substantial assurance for us.
Moreover, my mother also messaged me just now that this trip is possible.
The cooling period of one year in Fate Space has passed, and there is still a lot of room for growth for everyone.
Personally, I am in favor of it.”
After Dumps expressed his opinion, it turned to Abe who was more important … although Abe, with his commitment to the Knight Regiment, was originally not in favor of detaching from the Expeditionary Force.
But in the recent backyard war, Abe and Mia were at a disadvantage when facing the Mature Deviant Demon.
Without timely support, their lives would have been in danger… If they could develop another layer of talent, the upcoming Big Expedition would go much smoother.
“The journey of True Fate shouldn’t take too long, as long as we can return before the outbreak of the first phase of the total war… I agree too,” Abe nodded.
“Dear, I’ll follow your lead.”
Mia was rather casual; at such times, it was fine to let Han Dong make the decision.
Just like that.
Han Dong returned to the Toad Ancestor and made a request.
“Possible…”
With the toad’s consent, the cave floor on which Han Dong stood directly transformed into a giant toad’s mouth.
As he fell into it, the space also twisted along…
Buzz!
The next second, Han Dong had passed through the multiple barriers set up by the Expeditionary Army camp and arrived at the office of the hospital director of The Fourth Army-Central Hospital.
When Han Dong appeared, covered in mucus, Captain Shaia was also taken aback.
Meanwhile,
Thump, thump, thump! Rapid knocks came from outside the office door.
“Captain Shaia, the ‘Eye of Expedition’ just captured several spatial disturbances around the camp, and the final region of disturbance is located in your office, what happened?”
“Nothing serious… it’s my fault.”
“Alright.”
Shaia quickly drew the curtains of the office and sat cross-legged opposite Han Dong.
“So, what trouble have you gotten into?”
With limited time, Han Dong explained as succinctly as possible.
“[Toad Ancestor] is exactly in the deep swamps!?”
“…Yes~ However, just as I respond to this condition, the toad forces will withdraw from this battle… the swamp battle will be won with minimal losses.
Accordingly, the four of us will need to leave the Expeditionary Army for a while.
We aim to return in time before the outbreak of the first phase of the total war.
Please think of a reason, Captain Shaia, to explain our whereabouts.”
“Old King, Toad Ancestor… There are so many issues here, including the differences in relationship and rank, probably other captains wouldn’t let you leave so easily.
I trust you… But, you have to give me the probability of ‘returning alive’.”
Since the explanation took some time,
Just as Han Dong gestured with the number ‘1’, his body was swallowed by a toad.
Leaving behind Captain Shaia in the office, whose back was slightly dampened.
During the conversation just now, a dark shadow had been following Han Dong the entire time … it was none other than the aura of the ‘Old King.’
“Nicholas, you little rascal… how many secrets have you hidden?
To catch the attention of the Toad Ancestor and even make such a being change Its original intent.
When you come back, you must spill all your secrets.
Even if you’re dead, this duke will drag you out from the Abyss of Death to clear things up…”
