"Actually, my father once went to the back of Witch Castle a long time ago and saw the mask there. Therefore, the mask is behind Witch Castle. There's no mistake about that," Gaiman said.
"So Old Hero Frod has been there before. Then there's no mistake," a big shot from the North District said.
Everyone nodded. From the looks of it, Frod's reputation in the North District was indeed unparalleled. Just the mention of his name made everyone reveal looks of awe.
"So the old hero has been there before. I wonder where the old hero saw the mask?" Zhou Wen continued asking.
This was because he knew that there was only a garden behind and no mask. Therefore, he had to clarify things. Otherwise, it would be a waste of time for so many people to take the risk.
Gaiman said with a smile, "Behind Witch Castle is a garden. My father saw the mask there. Unfortunately, my father was alone back then. He was afraid that taking the mask would trigger a dimensional zone anomaly, so he didn't take it back."
"Where's the garden?" Zhou Wen believed Gaiman when he saw that there was a garden behind. After all, it was impossible for him to know that there was a garden behind if he hadn't been there.
"According to my father, the mask is embedded in a tombstone in the middle of the garden," Gaiman answered.
Zhou Wen couldn't help but frown when he heard that. He thought to himself, That's strange. Why did I only see a tree in the middle of the garden? I didn't see any tombstones.
Zhou Wen couldn't figure out what was wrong. What he saw in-game definitely couldn't be wrong, but if Frod hadn't been there, he wouldn't have known that there was a garden behind it.
Zhou Wen had a nagging feeling that something was amiss. After some thought, he asked, "I wonder if you can tell me the details of the situation back then?"
"Aren't you being a little too rude? Mr. Gaiman has already explained it very clearly. Furthermore, Old Hero Frod saw it with his own eyes. What else can you doubt? Do you want the old hero to crawl out of his grave and explain it to you personally before you believe him? "Someone felt that Zhou Wen was being too rude when they saw him press on with such urgency.
Furthermore, they didn't know that Frod wasn't really dead, which was why they said that.
Gaiman waved his hand and said, "After all, this matter is of great importance. It's good that Zhou Wen is cautious. Zhou Wen, did you discover something wrong? "
"No." Zhou Wen could only shake his head. He couldn't possibly say that he had already been there in-game and that there were no tombstones or masks.
Gaiman continued explaining the plan and even played some 3D animations. There were introductions to the skills of dimensional creatures like Devil Clowns and Divination Witches.
However, this introduction was clearly not comprehensive enough. It only introduced a portion of the skills.
After the meeting ended, Gaiman called out to Zhou Wen. "Zhou Wen, if it's convenient, follow me."
"I'll wait for you outside," Wang Lu said when she saw Zhou Wen look over.
"Alright." Zhou Wen followed Gaiman to his office. Gaiman looked at Zhou Wen and asked, "If you have anything to say, why don't you say it now? After entering the Maze of Lies, it'll be very troublesome if anything happens."
"Can I meet the old hero again? I want to know the details of when he saw the mask," Zhou Wen said.
"You might not know this, but my father was trapped in the ice wall. He couldn't communicate with anyone at all times. Most of the time, he was just an ice sculpture. Occasionally, he would regain some consciousness. When you met him previously, it was already the last moment when he was relatively conscious. Not long after that, he turned into an ice sculpture. I don't know when he will wake up again. "
After a pause, Gaiman added, "However, my father recorded the situation in detail. If you need it, I can make a copy for you."
"Then I'll be troubling you." Since he couldn't see Frod, he had no choice but to do so.
Gaiman quickly handed a copy to Zhou Wen. "If you discover anything, remember to inform us immediately."
"I will. I'll head back first." Zhou Wen flipped through the document and realized that there were more than ten pages of content. Many things were recorded, and he probably couldn't finish reading them in a short time. He planned on taking them back to read slowly.
Gaiman got his secretary to send Zhou Wen out. When the secretary returned, he said in puzzlement, "Do you really believe that Zhou Wen discovered anything?"
"It doesn't matter if I believe it or not. It's better to be safe than sorry. We can't afford to make any mistakes in this matter. It's best if he doesn't discover anything. If he does, it'll be beneficial to us," Gaiman said.
Zhou Wen arrived at the door and saw Wang Lu, Lance, and company waiting for him.
"Zhou Wen, did you discover anything?" Lance was also present back then, but because everyone present was his elder, he didn't have the right to speak.
"I have a nagging feeling that something is amiss, but I can't tell what it is. If only I can meet your great-grandfather again," Zhou Wen said.
"Great-Grandfather's situation is sometimes good and sometimes bad. Even if I meet him now, there's no way for me to communicate," Lance said with a sigh.
"Then let me think about it. After all, there's still a period of time to get used to each other. We won't immediately head to the Maze of Lies. We still have time." Zhou Wen flipped through the document.
According to the records, it was not long after he discovered the Maze of Lies. At that time, Frod didn't know that the state of the Maze of Lies was different every day. The last time he entered was on Monday, and he didn't go for a few days. On Sunday, he wanted to enter the Maze of Lies again, but the outcome was obvious.
Thankfully, when Frod saw that the situation wasn't right, he released his Companion Beasts to resist the Devil Clown. He wanted to escape the Maze of Lies at full speed.
Unfortunately, there was no chance. Frod was hit by the black-and-white magic ball before losing control of his body. The Devil Clown that appeared stealthily used its dagger-like nails to cut the artery on his neck. Before long, he fainted.
Frod originally thought that he was doomed, but to his surprise, he woke up not long after. Back then, he was in a small, sealed space.
Frod pushed hard for a long time before he pushed open the lid. When he crawled out, he realized that he was lying in a grave.
On the tombstone in front of the grave, he discovered the mask.
And the location of the grave was the garden Zhou Wen had seen in-game.
When Frod escaped from the garden, he saw the Destiny Twin Witches and the castle. Only then did he know that the garden was behind Witch Castle.
Strange, how did he enter the garden? Who had brought him in? Are there really graves and tombstones in the garden in real life? Zhou Wen was still puzzled when he read the information.
