Mystery: Start with the Reader

Blue-eyed white dragon? Is it the blue-eyed white dragon I know? Is the "Tower" really a time traveler? Is it Liu Bo? Or is it just a coincidence?

Just when Klein was using his "Joker" ability to control his expression, but his heart was full of surprise, Edwina, who also jumped on the dragon's back, asked curiously: "Is this a puppet made with a demigod-level psychic dragon? Also, the card that holds it seems to be in a different style than the ones you made."

When asked, Abner first glanced at Klein, who seemed to be calm, and then while controlling the "Bone Dragon" to "dream travel", he answered Edwina's question with a smile:

"Her identity is the 'Greedy' lady from the previous generation of the 'Psychological Alchemy Society', and she was a 'Dream Weaver' during her lifetime... In addition, this card was actually made by Emperor Russell, and I got it by chance. "

At the same time, he felt relieved and said in his heart: It turns out that Mr. Fool's abnormality in the Tarot meeting was because he doubted my origin... Was it the "Algorithm" that made him suspicious? After all, programs like "A Bite of Backlund" are indeed a bit too advanced...

Abner deliberately said the name "Blue Eyes White Dragon" just now as a test for Klein, and the test results also verified his idea.

Don't think that having the ability of "Joker" and "Faceless Man" can prevent "Mind Reading". I don't know what you are thinking... After all, being indifferent itself means that you have expectations in your heart, otherwise you will not understand at all. Exposed.

But after hearing the conversation between Abner and Edwina, Klein became unsure: Could it be Lao Huang's fault?

In contrast, Edwina's mind is much simpler. She is looking at the "blue-eyed white dragon" at her feet and "learning" the ability to dream.

Soon, the three people appeared in Long Zell's dream.

This is a prosperous city with many wooden structures. Most of the pedestrians coming and going are Loen people. There is also the iconic big clock in the distance. .

It was Backlund from more than a hundred years ago.

Long Zell, who had black hair and blue eyes, stood outside a house, not daring to get too close and looking there. It wasn't until a woman wearing an old dress came out that he excitedly went up to her, spread out his hands, and tried to hug her.

Then he hugged the woman tightly.

After the woman recognized the person, she burst into tears and hugged him.

Long Zell's movements were a little stiff, as if he couldn't believe that he had really touched his mother... You know, in countless similar dreams in the past, he had gone directly through it...

"Mom...Mom..." He called out again and again in surprise, and the woman responded in the same way.

Riding on the Bone Dragon, Abner, who was hiding in the dark, saw this scene, recalling the situation in the original work, and thought with some relief: Whether it was Russell or the "Disaster Seal", at least in this matter Well done...

That notebook really carries the longing of Long Zell’s family for him!

At the same time, Abner was also a little strange. Logically speaking, he had traveled through time for more than half a year, but he barely thought about home. Instead, he gradually became more and more tied to the world here.

Am I born with apathy? Or is it because you went home once a year in your previous life and you are already used to it?

But when I recall it, I still miss it a lot...but I don't usually recall it much...

Thinking of this, he glanced at Klein and found that his face indeed showed a little mixture of relief and sentimentality... This must be a homesickness that even the "Joker" ability can't hide!

The one who touched the most was indeed Klein... "Homesickness Group"... Abner sighed.

At this time, "Lieutenant General Iceberg" Edwina asked thoughtfully: "Do those people who were brought in normally by the travel notes still have a chance to get out?"

Before Abner could answer, Klein replied: "I'm afraid it's a little late... too much time has passed. If they leave, they will directly age, die, or even become weathered."

He had just thought about this problem, but combined with the various movies and TV works he had seen in his previous life, plus the occult knowledge he had mastered in this life, he finally got the pessimistic result above.

"That's my judgment too... unless there is a 'miracle'!" Abner interjected meaningfully.

"A miracle?" Klein immediately thought deeply, and thought of the sentence he saw in Russell's diary: "Resurrection from the dead is a miracle!"

Is there any hope of helping them by becoming a "Miracle Master"?

"A miracle?" Edwina was a little confused, but the explanation of this question was too complicated, and neither of the men had the intention to answer it yet.

But just after the three of them said the word "miracle", Long Zell in the dream also murmured the word, and then, a passage appeared on the edge of his dream island, which seemed to lead to A world full of "light".

Seeing this, the three of them looked at each other and confirmed each other's opinions: continue exploring.

Then, Abner drove the "Bone Dragon" and flew into the passage.

The passage was sometimes straight and sometimes curved. After an unknown amount of time, the three people's eyes suddenly became clear.

What appeared in front of them was a "deep sea crater" with an island-sized city in the center.

The foundation of this city is gray-white, with magnificent stone pillars tens to hundreds of meters high erected on it. They either stand there alone, or together they support towering ancient palaces. The whole thing is both strange and magnificent. , unlike ordinary creatures that can build.

Although Klein and Edwina didn't know this city, an idea popped up in their minds at the same time:

"City of Miracles, Levished..."

So what does "miracle" refer to? Klein had some enlightenment in his heart, but he also vaguely felt that something was not right.

After all, this should be the arrangement of the "Dragon of Fantasy". What does it have to do with Russell or the "Seal of Disaster"? What will they lay out here?

Although Abner had long known that the Dragon King's resurrected backhand was hidden in "Grossell's Travels", he still had similar doubts as Klein.

Levished is a giant city imagined out of thin air by the ancient god Angelweed, the "Dragon of Fantasy". No matter from every aspect, it can be called a miracle, even a miracle.

It is grander and more vast than the "Ting of the Giants", and has unusual characteristics. Each stone pillar is nearly 100 meters high, like a seat for giant dragons to rest. It is an unforgettable place that is impressive just by hearing about it. city ​​of.

The reason why it was dragged into the depths of the subconscious sea is because the "Dragon of Fantasy" sealed the entrance to the Sea of ​​Chaos and a little bit of God's will awakened in him.

Just when he thought of this, Abner suddenly realized something was wrong, because he could completely recall the meaning of the "Sea of ​​Chaos".

In other words, in this environment close to the "Sea of ​​Chaos", the influence of the outer gods has been weakened to the extent that the current ability of the "Pure White Eye" can protect me?

If the external gods are like this, it would be difficult for the true gods to approach... This should be the reason why the goddess and the god of knowledge guided Klein and me here, right? Because it's difficult for them to interfere?

After all, the higher the sequence, the more affected it will be by the "Sea of ​​Chaos". Only people like me with golden fingers and people like Klein who are responsible for the "Origin Castle" can complete it... just like the Dark Angel in the original King's Court of Giants. The place of sleep.

But what is the role of Edwina? Just as the initiator?

While many thoughts were passing through his mind, Abner also shared some knowledge about the Dragon King with Edwina and Klein.

Of course, it was mainly for Edwina. Klein had already learned the common sense of "Ancient God" from "The Sun".

"Is there really no problem in exploring the kingdom of an ancient god?" After Edwina listened to the "popular science", she thought about it and suddenly felt that her preparations were somewhat inadequate, so she asked Abner softly.

"The active dangers should have been eliminated by the 'Disaster Seal' or Russell. What we need to pay attention to is their layout." Under Abner's "Pure White Eyes", except for the gray one in the center, the height Outside the majestic palace, which is more than two hundred meters away, the rest of the place is safe.

And even in that palace, there was just one place that he failed to see through.

"I didn't foresee any danger." Klein said as he took back the coin.

Although Edwina still felt that this was a bit reckless, her trust in her companions and her desire for knowledge overcame her inner uneasiness, and she allowed Abner to control the "Bone Dragon" to land on the pillar of the central palace. superior.

The feeling was not deep when they were in the air, but when the three of them "glided" to the ground, they suddenly had "the real feeling of a mouse in Backlund" and saw that any building was so huge.

And the area of ​​the entire island is not smaller than Japan's Honshu Island... If you want to fully explore such a city, even if you can fly, it will be a dream in just a few months.

Since they fell from the pillar where the dragon rested, they entered the palace hall directly.

On both sides of the hall, there are colorful murals. They continue to extend forward and meet behind a half-giant pillar that can be hugged by an unknown number of people.

The giant pillar stands in the deepest part of the hall, directly in front of it. It does not rely on external objects. By itself, it can make people feel strong fear and experience the vicissitudes of time, just like a petrified god.

Almost instantly, a gray-white figure was outlined on the giant pillar.

The figure's entire body was covered with scales, each of which was like a solid stone slab. Just the vague outline looked like an epic poem.

Honesty Hall... Abner, who was well prepared, immediately used the secret technique he developed to put an end to his thoughts.

This secret technique was created on the basis of "mechanical mind" and combined with "psychological suggestion". Abner named it "anti-social death technique".

"'Dragon of Fantasy', Angelweed!" At this time, Klein's heartbeat sounded first, and he suddenly looked around in astonishment.

"This is the 'Dragon King'? He looks very powerful... So what does the Giant King who opposed him look like in the twin years? What kind of epic battle was their battle? Abner seems to know , but he rarely told me these things, and I didn’t have much valuable knowledge to exchange with him...

"Wait, how did my thoughts get spoken? What is the principle of this? Is it the high-level ability of the 'audience' pathway?"

Edwina's heartbeat echoed in the empty hall at an extremely fast speed, making her beautiful light blue eyes dull.

"Madam, you are like an iceberg on the outside, but you have a lot of problems in your heart! The contrast is a bit interesting... I don't know what Miss Sharon is thinking in her heart. I would have known that she would be brought here...

"No, there is something weird in this hall, I can't think about it!

"...Concentrate your thoughts, collect your thoughts, collect your thoughts..."

Klein was thinking about it when he saw "Tower" looking over jokingly. He immediately began to try to use meditation to concentrate and stop himself from thinking.

"What does "contrast cute" mean? Because there is contrast, it is cute? Who is Sharon?" Edwina's face flushed slightly, but her "curiosity" still betrayed her.

"Miss Sharon is my friend; as for contrasting cuteness, it's pretty much what you think." While listening to the words in his heart, Klein had a new doubt in his heart: "Why doesn't 'Tower' have a voice? According to what I said before, Observing at parties, he definitely has a lot of inner drama, and he may even have fun at every party."

Sure enough... "The Fool's" abnormality last time was because he guessed this... But with Edwina here, we can't have a showdown.

While suppressing his thoughts to avoid being caught by the hall, Abner adjusted the "secret technique" to release some of his thoughts: "As a 'secret technique instructor', it is reasonable to develop a secret technique in advance that can restrain thoughts. of."

"Is it reasonable? But I haven't developed it... I don't know much about the spiritual field... But with the 'mechanical mind', I can avoid those emotional thoughts, which is barely useful." Edwina thought about it. , the "mechanical mind" was opened, and the voice of the heart gradually became "cold".

"These two guys... No, why should I use guys? Be polite, be polite..." Klein took a deep breath and began to shift his attention to the murals around him, but he couldn't stop thinking about it. One sentence: "This is a great place to play truth or dare, maybe it's called the 'Honesty Hall'..."

"Truth or dare?" Edwina expressed doubts.

This time Abner released some of his thoughts before Klein: "That's a game, a game where people choose whether to say something or do something."

"You know? You actually know? Do you really... No, I have to be careful not to think about things I shouldn't... Dixie pie! Sweet ice tea! Byam roast! Witch soup pasta ..." Klein didn't dare to continue thinking about it, lest he hurt others by saying that name, so he had to divert his attention with delicious food.

"Is this really the 'crazy adventurer' in Abner's introduction?" Edwina thought indifferently.

Seeing the "connection" signal being sent out, Abner did not dare to continue to "tease" Klein's thoughts, lest he would get involved too, so he guided the two of them to look at the surrounding murals.

Klein quickly guessed that the "King of Dragons" might be possible from the story of the giant Grossel displayed on the mural, as well as the depiction of the destined encounter between "0-08" and "Grosel's Travels" in reality. Not dead, and even planning to resurrect through this.

However, Abner saw something different... because in his "Pure White Eyes", the feeling of the last few paintings was obviously different from the previous ones... It seemed more like they were placed later...

"However, the Dragon King may have been resurrected in another backhand... This may be a cover-up he made later... It may also involve a transaction with Roselle or the 'Disaster Seal'."

While Abner was guessing in his mind, he led Klein and Edwina to the back of the giant pillar of the "Dragon of Fantasy" seat, where there was a downward passage.

This is also the only place where Abner's "Pure White Eyes" failed to see through.

At this moment, pure and soft light shone in that passage, illuminating an open ancient bronze door standing in the deepest part.

"It's actually turned on? Has Russell ever gone down there? Where's the sea of ​​chaos below?" Abner was shocked in his heart and almost couldn't hold on to the "Prevention of Social Death Technique".

"There is no sense of danger..." Klein, looking at the door, put down the coin and said in a deep voice.

"We're all here, I'm afraid we won't be allowed to retreat." Edwina also said "coldly".

"Yes, I understand." Abner nodded, then said that he held the "Historical Projection" spell and "Lilith's Tears" given by the goddess in his hand, and walked in immediately.

Immediately afterwards, the scene that came into view made him stunned.

Because he saw a giant inverted tower with a bottom that was almost as big as the island where the "City of Miracles" Levished was located, but the top of which went down deep into the black sea of ​​subconsciousness!

"Dream Maze Tower...

“It was actually built here!

"I see... If you want to use the divided part to seal the pollution of that person, how is it possible without the source of matter?"

It was a tower that was both familiar and unfamiliar to Abner.

He said he was familiar with it because he often entered it to earn points and redeem spells, but what he had seen before was only the part on the other side of the "black sea".

It was strange because it was the first time he saw the bottom of the tower.

"No wonder I have been subconsciously avoiding entering the fourth level... The dream maze after the fourth level has crossed those black seas... Could that thing be a derivative of the 'Sea of ​​Chaos'? Similar to the 'Origin Castle' Gray fog?"

While thinking in his mind, Abner thought of the previous clues and almost immediately understood the purpose of most of Russell's arrangements:

"He wants to use a 'miracle' to resurrect the part of his soul that he cut out using the 'secret technique'!

"The mechanism of the Dream Maze Tower is essentially to give rewards through tasks... This is actually a disguised form of helping others realize their wishes... Oh, isn't the accumulation of wishes just for the final 'miracle'?

"As for the person who provided the miracle... I'm afraid it's Zaratul who has gone crazy, right?

"In the ritual of entering this travelogue, the revised and added "Book of Luck Stealing" is prepared for this!

"He wants to steal the miracle of Zaratul's 'resurrection' and use it on himself!

"And the other "Book of Stars" in the ceremony. I'm afraid it's the sequelae of his being polluted by the 'Mother Goddess'...

"Fanny's 'lawyer' character and Mr. Surrey's 'astronomer' character probably both come from Russell, right? Mr. Surrey has always carried that book with him..."

“And both Fanny’s and Mr. Surrey’s attributes are currently in Tosk!

"I just don't know which side is Russell's plan... or... both?

"This kind of resurrection may be dangerous... So, does the goddess want me to stop it?

"But what do I do?"

As soon as Abner thought of this, he saw an entrance suddenly opened at the bottom of the giant tower. Then, an irresistible force pulled him, Klein and Edwina into it!
