Glancing at the silent Cattleya, Klein suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
He didn't say another word as he turned around and jumped off the boulder, walking into the black cloister through the half-open door.
In the square surrounded by the dark tower and buildings, there were still a few piles of remnant flames from the battle. Gigantic arrows were stabbed into the ground, their tails swaying gently in the wind.
Frank Lee was still digging a hole to plant something, but what was placed by his feet was no longer food, but a pool of flesh that resembled mud.
As he passed by, Klein couldn't help but ask, "What experiments do you plan on using them for?"
Frank smiled excitedly.
"A lot!
"For example, a cow that can satisfy the meat requirements of the entire ship. Every time a portion is cut off, it will regrow!"
… Why is it a cow again? Klein was momentarily at a loss for words. All he could do was silently draw the crimson moon in his heart.
He passed by Navigator Ottolov, who was reading a book on the ground, Nina, who was drunk to the point of taking off her clothes, and Heathdahl, who was quietly hiding in the shadows in a corner. Klein walked into the hall that was covered in all kinds of murals.
At some point in time, Anderson and Hood had conjured a reclining chair, and he was leisurely lying on it, admiring the extremely religious and sacred paintings on the dome.
"Sigh, I'm finally leaving these darn waters. It's only going to be two or three times before noon and night change!" Upon seeing Gehrman Sparrow enter, the Strongest Hunter sighed from the bottom of his heart. "As long as I can successfully leave this place, I won't have to worry about any lingering problems."
Klein originally wanted to shut him up, but when he heard that he was only targeting himself and didn't involve anyone else, he couldn't be bothered.
He casually asked, "Are you Intis?"
"I guess so. My father is Intis, and my mother is Segal," Anderson replied in a chatty manner.
Klein took a few steps forward.
"Then, do you believe in the Eternal Blazing Sun, the God of Steam and Machinery, or the God of Knowledge and Wisdom?"
Anderson's expression suddenly became a little strange.
"I originally believed in the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, but their priests were too despicable. Just because I didn't pass the exam, they ignored my ordinary handsome face and looked at me like I was an idiot. Pui! I'm just a little biased, but my intelligence isn't low at all! I've always been outstanding in terms of art knowledge, painting foundation, and other fields! Hehe, before I became a hunter, my dream was to be an artist.
"Of course, after coming to the sea, I will more or less believe in the Lord of Storms."
Upon hearing Anderson's description, a joke suddenly came to Klein's mind. A priest of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom might say something like this: "Failed the exam? This child can't be saved. Let's bury him. "
He was just about to direct the topic to Anderson's hunter career. After all, he was the only person in the World of Dreams who could communicate with him normally apart from Queen Mystic when he suddenly heard the door open.
From the depths of the hall of murals came the sound of a door opening!
That fellow, Anderson, just said that as long as I can successfully leave this place … Klein felt a baffling headache as he focused his gaze towards the source of the sound.
Following that, he saw a man in a short linen robe rush out from the depths of the hall of murals at an extremely fast speed, heading straight for him.
The man's hair was raven-black and glossy, but his face was covered in wrinkles, as though he had experienced many hardships.
The Saint of Darkness, Leomaster! The kindhearted Leomaster! Klein recognized the man and immediately discovered a tall figure appear from the depths of the hall of murals.
The figure was dressed in thick and heavy black armor. His eye sockets were two blobs of crimson light.
He held a gigantic straight sword as he frantically chased after Leomaster.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
His metal boots continuously collided with the ground, producing a crisp and hurried sound.
The real Leomaster! The Saint of Darkness's main persona! As Klein looked at the two approaching figures, he instinctively turned his body to the side and quickly retreated.
He instantly pasted himself against the wall of the hall of murals before realizing that Anderson and Hood had leaped up from their reclining chairs at some point in time and had pasted themselves against another mural.
Upon sensing Gehrman Sparrow's gaze, Anderson grinned and replied with a smile that said, "So you're the same as me."
Who's the same as you? I'm not being cowardly. If you weren't here, I would've taken out the Sea God Scepter and fought the Saint of Darkness for eight hundred rounds! I've always been thinking. If I were to help the kindhearted Leomaster kill the main persona in his dream, would there be any corresponding changes in the real World …
Hmm, there's the people on the Future outside. If Leomaster's main persona really goes crazy, Queen Mystic will definitely take action …
It shouldn't be a coincidence for these two fellows to leave their dreams and come here … Both parties are already very close to each other in the real World? Or is there someone guiding the kindhearted Leomaster over? Queen Mystic? Many thoughts flashed through Klein's mind.
Leomaster, who was dressed in a short linen robe, saw the two people in front of him. He originally wanted to shout for help, but in the blink of an eye, he realized that the two of them had flashed to the sides of the hall, as though they didn't see or care about anything.
"…" He ran with all his might and rushed out of the hall of murals.
The redness in Leomaster's eyes deepened as he chased after them. He completely ignored Klein and Anderson who were pasted to the two sides of the mural.
After they left the hall, Klein, who had some guesses, didn't hesitate to take a step forward and follow behind them as fast as a cheetah.
"…" Anderson raised his right hand and grabbed at the air, failing to stop Gehrman Sparrow in time.
This fellow was still rather rational just a moment ago. Why did he suddenly go crazy? What problem did he discover? How curious … Anderson peeked his head out and looked at the square outside. After hesitating for a few seconds, he finally chose to follow.
They chased all the way out of the black cloister and arrived at the region where Admiral of Stars was. Klein saw the linen-robed Leomaster circling around the boulder to avoid his main persona. He also took every opportunity to look at the Giant King's Court projection on the opposite mountain peak. He prayed softly in ancient Hermes.
"The Lord that created everything;
"You are an Adept …"
After circling once more, the kindhearted Leomaster continued chanting, "You are the source of all greatness.
"You are the source of all greatness. You are the beginning and the end.
"You are the god of gods, the ruler of the vast astral world!"
With the end of this honorific, the sea of clouds that separated the two mountain peaks suddenly trembled as they slowly parted to the left and right, revealing a bottomless and deep rift.
The Giant King's Court projection on the opposite side suddenly sucked the frozen dusk over from far away!
However, nothing happened after that.
Klein came to a general understanding as he turned his head to look at the building near the black cloister's entrance. He saw that behind a clean and bright floor-to-ceiling window, the beautiful but unapproachable Queen Mystic Bernadette was silently watching everything happening beneath her.
Indeed, she was the one who made the kindhearted Leomaster escape his dream and come here … Since the Aurora Order's Listener can bring Little Jack into the Forsaken Land of the Gods, there's no reason why the Saint of Darkness can't do the same! When there's no path ahead and he sees the Giant King's Court projection, Leomaster's split personality will definitely think of escaping in. Therefore, he demonstrated to the secret observer how to enter the Forsaken Land of the Gods … Klein retracted his gaze with great certainty.
As for the reason why the kindhearted Leomaster didn't succeed, his judgment was:
The location isn't right!
I have to venture deep into these waters and find a specific spot surrounded by danger and oddities. Then, I can recite the honorific name of the City of Silver's Creator in the dream brought by the night to open the hidden passageway of the Giant King's Court projection? Then, with the help of a dream entry, he drove his body and ship through the fog of reality and illusion to arrive at the seaside of the Forsaken Land of the Gods? Klein thought with some guesses.
To him, how to enter the Forsaken Land of the Gods wasn't a problem he cared too much about. As long as he was willing, he could advance to Sequence 4 and truly possess a certain level of godhood. Then, he could get Little Sun to set up a descent or bestowment ritual and directly head over!
However, if they could use this to deduce how to leave the Forsaken Land of the Gods, it would definitely be a huge gain. The value of this to the City of Silver was immeasurable!
From the looks of it, the key to leaving the Forsaken Land of the Gods really lies inside the Giant King's Court. However, there's no way to guess what it is exactly … As Klein's thoughts raced, pea vines rapidly grew out of the mud, instantly turning the area outside the black cloister into a green forest. It also forcefully separated the Saint of Darkness's main persona and the good persona.
Then, through the gaps in the pea vines, Klein saw Admiral of Stars Cattleya stand up on the boulder. She was no longer hugging her knees.
…
Sizzle!
Derrick first rolled, then leaped up, and cleaved at the giant's leg that was covered in short black hair. The silver lightning that had been stimulated fell out of thin air, causing the monster with the unique single eye to tremble and freeze on the spot.
Derrick didn't miss the opportunity as he immediately spread out his arms.
Bright and pure holy light descended, enveloping the mutated giant.
In such a bright light, the monster collapsed with a tragic cry as black fog emitted from its body.
After a series of battles, Derrick had already discovered that the monsters that had infiltrated the strange Afternoon Town were equally afraid of bright light, regardless of their characteristics.
This experience prevented him from being injured, and it also saved the lives of more members of the expedition team.
After a while, when Demon Hunter Colin finished off the strongest monster, Afternoon Town returned to silence. The lit candles had all been extinguished.
The Chief of the six-member council surveyed the area and sighed.
"Let's rest first before setting up camp."
At this moment, the gathered expedition team had lost nearly a third of its members. There were only six of them!
Colin Iliad's true goal was actually the Giant King's Court, but his encounter in Afternoon Town made him realize that he couldn't be impatient in his exploration. This was because the Giant King's Court might very well hide the deeper secrets of a calamity. There was unimaginable danger; therefore, he needed half a year, a year, or even two years of preparation and repeated explorations before he could attempt to open it.
