Chapter 441: Chapter 441: Relatives
“Did… Did I use to live in this world?”
As her sealed memories began to surface.
Nicole was completely captivated by the environment.
Han Dong quietly watched Nicole, able to sense her mental state clearly through their Master-Servant Relationship.
The Class Monsters in “Mist” had numerous similarities with life outside the city.
Except for the “Pollution” attribute being removed, the other various types were essentially similar.
Han Dong didn’t interrupt Nicole as she slowly uncovered her memories. After all, she would continue living in this world with him in the future. Being able to accept and adapt to this environment early was a good thing.
Soon, the carriage started slowing down.
Mr. Black White opened the carriage door, intentionally allowing Nicole to personally step onto the land outside the city and feel everything.
Nicole squirmed her octopus tentacles on her lower body, cautiously moving slowly within the forest. The suction cup organs for absorbing ‘mist’ that touched the surface of the plants seemed to exist in her memories.
Mr. Black White and Han Dong stood by the carriage, and began explaining to Han Dong what is a “Follower”.
“The entrance to the ‘Fate Space’ not only exists within the three existing principal cities but is spread throughout the world.
Life outside the city doesn’t have permission to enter the Fate Space, and they’re even repelled when they approach the Door of Fate.
However, the wise men among the demons are well aware that mankind is acquiring various extraordinary abilities from the ‘Fate Space’, powerful enough to confront them.
Some demons involving high-level brain domains have been trying to research ‘Fate Space’ for two hundred years and finally found a way to enter the fate.”
“Huh!? Can demons enter too?” Han Dong was shocked.
“It’s not that the demons can go in… but the demons borrow the human’s key point of being able to enter the Fate Space, and decipher the ‘Key’ from the human genetic sequence.
As long as they insert this gene sequence symbolizing the ‘Key’ into their genes, they will get permission to enter.
However, there’s a problem here!
This gene sequence is extremely critical. Once implanted, it will cause the demon itself to lose its memory, or its own memory will collide and mix with the human memory carried in the sequence, resulting in a completely new memory system.
At the same time, the form of the demon itself will transform towards humans… evolving into a ‘mid-level being’, referred to as a ‘Follower’.”
Upon hearing this explanation, Han Dong was utterly astonished.
No wonder he could sense that Nicole was part human and part outside city attribute when he interacted with her.
“Initially, ‘Followers’ were created to bring information out of the Fate Space.
However, when the demons sent their followers into the Fate Space, they cut off their contact… the Fate Space would further hide their original memories.
They slowly lose themselves in the events of fate, eventually becoming a character of fate.
‘Followers’ live in the World of Fate, reproduce, establish their own clans… different species even gradually separate and establish their own kingdoms and worlds.”
“I see… So does this mean that the Class Monsters in the Fate Space are the Followers and their offspring, composed of life outside the city and humans?”
“Correct, there are just very few Fate events with this system! You must have used the ‘Fate Card’ to choose them, right?”
Han Dong nodded.
He indeed used the Fate Card, selecting the event according to the category.
However, he eventually chose the Class movie “Mist” because of the influence of the ‘Faceless Skull’.
When Han Dong came to the Class work area, the affinity generated in his brain led him to abandon his original plan to train Togu and Chen Li, making a special choice.
Mr. Black White continued to assess the Deep-sea Diver – Nicole.
“The Follower you have chosen is quite interesting. Her body contains a high-class bloodline… she should be the direct offspring of a ‘King-Level Follower’ born from the mixture of the Old King’s offspring and the genes of a human knight.”
“Yes! Nicole’s body also contains the Royal Bloodline… That said, are Followers formed from the Old King’s offspring unable to recognize their own identities in the Fate Space?”
“That’s correct. The reason why we humans can confront life outside the city with the Fate Space is due to ‘Fate’ ruling over everything. Even the outside high-level beings are no exception.”
After falling into deep thought, Han Dong quietly asked:
“Then… am I considered a ‘Follower’?”
If you thought of ‘Followers’ as a product of the combination of life outside the city and humans, Han Dong may also fall under the category of ‘Followers’.
“What you are, is not defined and judged by others… but is decided by your own heart.”
“Thank you for your trust, teacher.”
“Haha… Furthermore, if you were a Follower, you would be restricted in the Fate Space, but you’re not. I hope you can find the answers you seek on the basis of being a human.”
“Okay.”
The conversation between master and student ended there.
Nicole also slowly returned from the forest, seeming to have found her answer as well.
“This is where Father God lived… Some of my memories come from Father God! Hehe, it’s great! I can definitely learn a lot of interesting things in this world, thank you Messenger for bringing me here.”
“Nicole, from today onwards, you should learn to live as a ‘human’.”
“Okay.”
The octopus tentacles wriggling on Nicole’s lower body split into two bundles, slowly merging into a pair of pale yet rosy human legs.
They were noticeably plumper than Mia’s long and slender figure, giving the impression that they were very bouncy and tempting to pinch.
A women’s outfit was prepared in the carriage.
Obviously, Mr. Black White had calculated everything beforehand to allow Nicole to adapt to living in a human form in advance.
A wide brown suede studded belt, paired with a front short back long cake skirt tail and a suede hooded cloak.
After Nicole changed into this outfit alone in the carriage,
She looked completely different, more in line with the human image in the Holy City.
She used the hood to cover her divine appearance to avoid attracting attention.
“This belt is so tight, it’s uncomfortable to wear… but, it looks very nice!”
Nicole usually lived in the deep sea, with only shells to cover up, her body was unrestricted, so she would naturally find it difficult to adapt to human clothing.
However, for the ever-curious and accepting Nicole, she was standing in front of the mirror provided in the carriage, spinning her white skirt tail, like a little girl who just got her beautiful new clothes.
“Let’s go…”
The carriage resumed its journey.
Soon,
The sound of crows kept coming from outside the window.
“Wow! So many… so many little crows!”
Nicole who had seen the true form of Duo Zeya wasn’t particularly surprised.
Across the flock of crows,
When the ancient castle atop the hill came into view, Nicole almost pressed her eyeballs against the glass window, hoping she could live in such a big house.
