Mystery: Start with the Reader

Latest website: At the junction of the Polar Sea and the Misty Sea, on an island that is not too big.

The island has rugged rocks and sparse vegetation. Only a few grasses occasionally emerge from the gaps between rocks, demonstrating the tenacity of life.

In the center of the island stands a three-meter-high stone tablet.

The front of the stone monument is extremely smooth. Even if it has been beaten by wind and rain for hundreds of years, it can still reflect people's reflections. Only three grooves the size of playing cards are left at the bottom.

On the back, there are lines of ancient Fusak characters engraved on it, writing the rules for entering the so-called "Labyrinth of Gods".

At this time, Abner, who descended into the mortal world in the body of the "God of War and Destruction", Klein, who was promoted to the King of Angels, and Bernadette, whose spiritual body merged with the message of the "God of Truth", arrived at the same time. In front of the stone monument.

"This is it." Bernadette said in a voice without any emotion.

She once explored this island with Bruna, the former princess of the Byron Empire, and Isabella, the former princess of the Lundburg Principality. However, the ruins were too dangerous for them at that time, and the weapons in their hands The cards of blasphemy were not complete, so the adventure had to be temporarily suspended.

Klein took off the pendulum from his cuffs and shook it, then nodded and said, "It is indeed dangerous. There are things in it that are threatening even to me, the King of Angels."

He had actually expected this. After all, when he divined the "Eye of Kwashtun" that Silver City had dedicated to him before, he knew that the kingdom of the "Alien King" was actually deep in this ruins. , and there was something more dangerous than the Dragon of Fantasy hidden inside, which even made him "explode" once above the gray mist.

Hearing Klein's reminder, Abner nodded slightly, and then took out his collection of "White Tower", "Hanged Man", "Door", "Red Priest", "Perfect", "Twilight Giant", "Dreamer", and "Abyss" are eight blasphemous cards.

Seeing this, Klein also took out the six blasphemous cards he had: "Witch", "Tyrant", "Error", "Moon", "Black Emperor" and "Fool" from the "Mysterious Realm".

Finally, there was Bernadette. After taking out her five cards, "Hermit", "Wheel of Fortune", "Death", "Judger", and "Darkness", she took out the cards from another pocket. The "Bound One" and "Sun" cards borrowed from Bruna and Isabella.

"Twenty-one, plus the Mother Card hidden deep in the ruins, there are exactly 22." Abner nodded and said, "According to Russell, you must first use different deck combinations to crack the peripheral Only with the "mechanism" can the road to the deepest level be opened... Otherwise, not even the gods can forcefully enter.

"I just tried it on other 'fate lines', but I really can't force my way in, even if I use the authority of my right hand...

"However, it is too troublesome to dismantle the mechanism bit by bit, and it is bound to take a lot of time... So I think I will only dismantle some important 'nodes', weaken the blocking power of the channel, and wait until it weakens to the point where I can That's as much as the right hand can handle.

"What do you think?"

Bernadette naturally had no objection to Abner's suggestion, and she said simply: "I listen to you."

Klein thought for a while and said, "You have to use at least 21 cards once before you have any hope."

"I understand... So which combination should we start with?" Abner asked with a smile.

Before he finished speaking, he pulled out the "Reader" himself. Bernadette then placed the "Hermit" card in the corresponding position of the stone tablet.

And Klein took out "The Fool".

The next moment, the three figures disappeared in front of the stone tablet.

Not long after they entered the ruins, the moon in the sky suddenly turned round and red like blood!

The "Blood Moon" is coming! ....

Backlund, 28 Kingster Street.

Forsi was lying on the bed, admiring the "Blood Moon" outside the window, while enduring

With the pain of having her head pricked by a needle, she listened to Mr. "Men" describe a lot of occult knowledge that she was familiar with.

Facing the "generousness" of this big man, Forsi nodded repeatedly and kept repeating: "Yes, yes, yes."

At the same time, her forehead twitched slightly and she yawned quite covertly.

She has become somewhat accustomed to the pain of talking directly to Mr. Door.

Mr. "Gate" continued:

""Sequence 3 of the "Apprentice" path is called "Wanderer", which means that the spiritual world can no longer trap you. You can enter the starry sky, travel around the star world, go to different planets, and experience real death, real desolation, and real desolation. The magnificence and civilization are completely different from the local ones.

"Only by experiencing this personally can you realize how small the world you live in..."

Mr. Men briefly talked about his own experience to show the majesty and beauty of the starry sky and the richness and charm of different civilizations.

This made Forsi feel a little fascinated. If it weren't for a flash in his head,

The twinges of pain still reminded her that she might even forget that the narrator was a dangerous king of angels.

"As long as you help me get out of trouble, I will give you the potion formula and extraordinary properties of the Wanderer, and help you complete the ritual. Of course, this can all be paid in advance." At the end of "Full Moon Rumblings", Mr. "Gate" came back again A promise was given once.

"It's so desirable." Forsi admired sincerely.

When Mr. Men's voice gradually weakened and disappeared, Forsi suddenly took off the pillow from his waist and lay down.

For her, the vast starry sky is indeed full of charm, but it also carries the risk of being contaminated just by understanding it. She has no motivation to explore it at all.

And even if you want to go, you can go with Abner in his "palace". That's what traveling in the starry sky should be like. Isn't it more reliable than the "poor travel" described by Mr. "Gate"?

However, why does Mr. Door's chatter seem to be much shorter this time? The ending is also a bit rushed...but "Blood Moon" is clearly not over yet?

Forsi looked at the moon outside the window, feeling a little doubtful in his heart.

······

A huge bloody full moon hung on the edge of the cliff, illuminating the swamp below.

The swamp was dark red in color, bubbling constantly, and there seemed to be magma at the bottom that was cooking everything.

Suddenly, a huge tree emerged from the magma, and a baby covered in blood was born in its trunk.

The baby opened its mouth and made a sound even worse than Mr. "The Hanged Man" singing.

Emlyn suddenly woke up from his dream, looking around in fear and confusion.

After confirming that this was his room, surrounded by many large and small, extremely familiar dolls, Emlyn slowly exhaled and muttered to himself with a rather solemn expression:

"The dream just now was not simple."

As a "Witch King", he has sufficient understanding of the dream realm.

Is this the so-called "divine revelation"? But I didn't get any enlightenment... Emlyn thought for dozens of seconds and couldn't find the answer. Then he decided not to worry about this problem anymore and planned to ask Father Utravsky when he had time.

At the same time, many believers of the "Mother Tree of Desire" and "Primordial Moon" in the northern and southern continents who had the same dream as Emlyn suddenly experienced mutations, and they all transformed into plants and gave birth to screams. A very scary "baby".

On the "Future", as soon as "Artisan" Sharf changed, "Queen of the Stars" Cattleya cast a spell, manifesting a ray of clear spring and pouring it into his mouth, and then a giant Appearing out of thin air, swinging the ax directly chopped into pieces the trees it transformed into.

"Mysterious Reappearance—Birth Spring Water"! "Mysterious Reappearance—Wu Gang's Expedition of Gui"!

Relying on the two stories Abner told her, Cattleya made the right decision before the situation got out of control.

Then, she looked nervously at Frank, who was still stunned, for fear that he would follow in Sharf's footsteps.

The opponent has already advanced to Sequence 4. Once out of control, it is not as easy to control as Sharf.

But after waiting for a long time, there was no change in Frank. Cattleya was relieved. She subconsciously wanted to push up the heavy glasses on the bridge of her nose, but her touch was in vain. Only then did she realize that she had become an angel. Not that anymore.

She was silent for two seconds before saying to Frank:

"Did you just hear the voice of the Merciful Mother and receive divine enlightenment?"

"No." Frank shook his head nonchalantly. Huh... Cattleya secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Frank added casually:

"The will of the merciful Mother is in the ears of wheat, in the milk of cows, in the growth of mushrooms, in everything and every corner of nature. It does not require divine revelation to feel it."

Abner said that he was the god of life in the past, and he should not be so easily contaminated by the so-called "divine revelation".

...

When all parts of the world fell into brief chaos due to the sudden loss of control of the followers of the "Primordial Moon" and the "Mother Tree of Desire", Russell's adopted son, "Dread Duke" and "Blood Archduke" Jaldabao came to Bayam and entered Inside the underground palace of the "God of Luck".
