Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang

However, Klein was slightly disappointed that he did not hear any new news from Snowman.

The ascetic repeated the same fairy tale as told by the "Sun", and this was all he knew about the "Evangelist of the Lord".

However, after continuing to recite some "Great Deeds of the Lord", Snowman's expression suddenly became serious:

"There are cultists who believe in the dark night hiding in our diocese! This is an edict from the kings."

The three "cultists" looked at each other. In order to prevent the awkward atmosphere from continuing, Klein took the initiative and said:

"The Church of Night seems to have appeared very early. It was active before the Cataclysm. However, at that time, it was only in the form of a secret organization. After all, the ancient Sun God was the most widespread belief in that period of history and was also regarded as the only one. A legitimate god."

Audrey and Leonard didn't speak. Just because of Klein's explanation, their expressions became more relaxed, and they even subconsciously thought of the Tarot Society they were in. Yes, Mr. Fool also exists in secret now.

It’s as if I’m the least pious person here, even though I’m someone who has talked to the goddess... Klein thought guiltily and looked at Snowman aside.

As Audrey guided her further, the dream changed again, showing the most impressive thing in the ascetic's life.

The church has shrunk, the murals on the walls have become simpler, and the square outside can be seen from the wide windows.

The younger-looking Snowman knelt in front of the cross, kissed the ground, followed a priest, and swore an oath:

"I voluntarily choose the path of asceticism, give up love, stay away from enjoyment, do not hold power, polish my body, temper my spirit, and serve my Lord. From today on, I will never change."

From today on, it will never change.

Snowman read this sentence several times, and Audrey had to raise her head and look at Klein and Leonard beside her, silently asking for advice on the next step.

A true ascetic, all three of them felt the same touch at this moment.

Klein nodded to Audrey: "Let's go to the next place."

——

In the following dream travel notes, Leonard chatted with the Fourth Age noble for a long time.

Mobet Zoroaster shared a lot of things about the "old man". The young people in the family would call their ancestor Pales this way, which made Leonard look like a young man who was left behind.

Mobet also answered some historical questions about the Zoroastrian family and the Fourth Age. The owner of the dream did not notice that as he talked about the great figures in the past, their corresponding appearances also appeared in the corner of the dream. Come out and let the three visitors see clearly.

Klein didn't even need to be reminded. Leonard experiencedly guided Mobet to answer the questions they were concerned about, which made Klein curse in his heart - after all, the interrogation still had to be done by professionals.

In the dream of the elf singer Shatas, the leader was replaced by Audrey. After Klein gave clear directions, this elf from the Second Age reviewed the heyday of the elves for them. History.

But after hearing that those ancient gods had fallen, and that their followers had either taken refuge with other ancient gods, or simply disappeared, Klein had to use the control power of the "Joker" to prevent himself from showing too much surprise.

The names of "God of Death" Salinger and "Goddess of Beauty" Onya made Klein think deeply. The disappeared "God of Spiritual Things" and "Goddess of Doom", if they also escaped the Creator of Silver City The divine war triggered...

In the end, the news about the elves made Klein's guess come true. They seemed to only look like "Orientals" in appearance, but their living customs were very different. Only the origin of the "Elf King" was full of mystery.

Klein silently memorized the key to the "Western Continent". If there was a chance, of course he would find a way to explore it.

In the dream of the Loen soldier Longzell, Audrey obtained the magic potion formulas of "Judge" and "Retribution Knight" and gave the homesick man a beautiful dream.

Audrey noticed that there was another subtle mood swing coming from "The World", but it was quickly suppressed and covered up.

The last one, who is also the protagonist of this travelogue, is the Cyclops who first entered the book, Grossel.

Sitting around the huge bonfire were the residents of that distant era, more than a dozen gray-blue-skinned Cyclops, drinking and shouting, expressing their inner joy with huge roars.

Although the three of them could not tell the difference between the giants in appearance, with Audrey around, they still easily found Grossel. His roar was the loudest among all the giants, expressing his current happy mood.

For Grossel, being able to get together with his friends again is something he misses greatly.

Following Audrey's guidance, Grossell's dream changed, turning into scenes of the giants in that past, such as the "Decadent Forest", "Desolate Tunnel", "Giant King's Court" and other places. Revealed with the excavated memories.

After writing down several routes that might be very useful to "The Sun", Audrey keenly grasped the details about the "Decaying Forest". They discussed the secrets that might be hidden behind it, and went deeper into the dreamland, solidifying the dusk. Walk towards the radiant "Giant King's Court".

Audrey used her ability to affect the dream, causing the heavy door to open on its own, revealing a gray scene behind it.

The "Giant King's Court" inside the gate no longer exists, only a bottomless cliff.

Audrey shared some experiences with the two of them, which were all summed up by herself when exploring the sea of ​​collective subconscious. Leonard and Klein put forward corresponding preparation plans. If there were any emergencies, Three people can also help or comfort each other.

The ability of "audience" is indeed very convenient. In the realm of the soul, their advantage is much stronger than other extraordinary people.

Klein nodded to Audrey, so the young lady raised her hand and imagined in her mind a spiral staircase leading to the bottom of the silent and gray spiritual world.

A spiral staircase with no end in sight emerged, allowing the three of them to walk down step by step. The too quiet environment around them made their breathing and heartbeats infinitely amplified.

Even with Audrey's "comfort", such silence would cause a sense of oppression. Leonard soon started chatting, and he seemed to talk more than usual. Klein was a little lucky that "Star" did not compose a poem on the spot. To vent your emotions.

The reason behind it seemed to be that Leonard looked around but couldn't find a suitable description.

However, Leonard had emotions in his heart and always wanted to say something: "So this is the spiritual world? The field of consciousness always feels so complicated to people. I don't know much about it... To be honest, even if I have studied I don’t remember much about mystical knowledge either.”

Why, the captain's poor memory has also been passed on to you? Is this a common problem caused by "Nightmare" wandering around in dreams too much? Klein muttered in his heart, but said nothing on the surface. After all, he did not dare to say that he was an expert in the "spiritual world".

Audrey felt that communication was also a part of "comfort" and responded to Leonard's words seriously: "Here, consciousness is inseparable from the environment. Everything we can 'see' here is a partial reflection of our subconscious. , if it were someone else, it might be different."

Klein actually agreed with this.

The last time he explored here alone, he was walking alone in increasingly bleak gray. As Klein felt the urgency and anxiety, the environment around him was also filled with an increasingly depressing feeling.

Until Klein saw some frightening memories of Grossel's childhood, a rotten gray-blue hand emerged from the gray chaos nearby, and yellow-green pus oozed from the huge giant's limbs.

At that time, Klein was not yet a demigod, and he subconsciously felt fear. As a result, everything around him changed even more chaotically, with densely packed similar palms appearing constantly, making chilling gasping sounds.

Klein's reaction was very quick, but the fear in his heart was honestly reflected in the environment. More and more palms squirmed and waved upwards, and then began to scratch the edge of the stairs, rising in the direction of Klein, gradually submerging them. Stairs leading down.

Although Klein calmed down his inner fear through meditation and made those giant hands disappear, he was also wary of the possible contamination here.

So Klein chose to return, and his exploration of this subconscious ocean stopped midway.

Today is different. Today there are two companions traveling with him, one of whom is good at dealing with the "spiritual world".

Audrey was still narrating softly. Her soft voice, coupled with her ability to "soothe", kept the two companions calm: "Even emotional expressions are likely to be projected into the environment around us. , and what is even more dangerous is the ever-changing subconscious mind of strangers, because this is a world that does not belong to 'individuals'."

"There is such a change." Leonard scratched his head subconsciously, not knowing how much he understood. "I have never heard of these. It is quite interesting to look at psychology in this way."

No, I am certain that you are definitely not suitable for the "audience", unless you let Pales Zoroaster directly steal your ability to speak, and then add the enhancement of "Decryption Scholar" to you...

Klein once again complained about his former colleague in his heart, and took the last step. The three of them finally reached the ground that was also covered in gray.

A burst of air surged towards him, and a blur of light and shadow stood up from it. But as the other person straightened his body, his image became clearer and clearer.

This is a gray-blue giant. At six or seven meters tall, only three visitors can look up. The giant's body is wrapped in leather with dragon scales, which only covers part of the body. The exposed areas are covered with Indescribable patterns and symbols.

The giant's vertical one eye was covered with bloodshot eyes. He chewed a piece of human leg fiercely in his mouth, and blood foam continued to drip from the corner of his mouth.

The violent and crazy blocker stared hard at the three small people in front of him.
