Mystery: Start with the Reader

Abner took the contract and looked down, and found that it was nothing more than some supplementary clauses such as not to disclose the relevant information of the "Dream Labyrinth Tower" to others, and the exploration results belong to everyone.

Then, he opened the 'Pure White Eye' covertly. After analyzing and confirming that there is no problem with the notarial certificate itself, he turned his head and asked Xio for his opinion: "What do you think?"

Xio also finished reading the terms at this time, and she also didn't see the problem, so she nodded and said, "I have no problem!"

After the two reached an agreement, they successively signed their names in Hermes script on the contracts. Then, after examining it, Mr. Gaston also signed.

As soon as his action was over, the symbols and magic marks around the notarial certificate lit up one after another, all of them glowing brightly and warmly. They quickly formed a seal-like image, which was respectively stamped on the backs of the hands of Abner and the other three.

The warm current passed away in a flash, and Abner felt that there was a subtle but invisible connection between himself and the notarial certificate.

Seeing that the notarization was completed, Mr. Gaston said: "The 'Dream Labyrinth Tower' is a strange object that exists in the depths of the dream world. I don't know how many entrances it has, but there is one in the underground of this school, which I deciphered from a manuscript more than a hundred years ago. Hehe, I have been searching for this entrance for nearly twenty years. "

"What is this tower? What's inside?" Abner asked curiously.

"It's an upside-down tower, and there are many labyrinth secrets between reality and dreams. After we enter the tower, because of its upside-down, we will first enter the ninth floor. Here we will randomly encounter a maze Secret Realm, as long as you crack it, you can reach the reward room and get a piece of knowledge or information at random. After taking the reward, the passage to the next floor will appear. Well, the eighth and seventh floors are similar, It's just that the knowledge obtained is more valuable, and it's more difficult to crack the secret realm." Mr. Gaston introduced the general situation of the dream labyrinth tower.

"Which floor have you passed the furthest?" Abner asked.

Mr. Gaston sighed, and said: "I can only pass the ninth floor steadily, the eighth floor depends on luck, I only pass it once or twice, and the seventh floor is very difficult, I have no clue at all, I have never passed it once .”

"Can this maze be swiped repeatedly?" Abner was a little surprised when he heard it, thinking that this thing is simply a dungeon.

"Repeatedly brush?" Mr. Gaston was taken aback by this word, and then he understood its meaning, shook his head and said: "Everyone can only enter once a month, and if you enter continuously, the knowledge given by the reward will be more It gets worse and worse, the second time it’s almost all the knowledge you already know, and after the third time it will give you completely worthless information. At this time, you can only recover after half a year. I have already discovered It's three years, so there are more entries."

This sounds more and more like a dungeon... Abner complained in his heart, but on the surface he said thoughtfully: "Does it mean that entering once every six months is the best choice?"

"That's right!" Mr. Gaston nodded and added, "In the ninth, eighth, and seventh floors, because the body is between the real and the illusory, and it is more illusory, it will not suffer much damage. , even if it is suicide, it’s just waking up and returning to reality, and then the spirit is depressed for a while. According to the manuscript I got, the real danger is after the sixth floor, but I don’t know what it is.”

"So that's the case, then there is really no danger... because you only want to clear the seventh floor." Abner suddenly thought, and after thinking for a while, he asked again, "Dungeon... no, what will happen in those dream mazes Puzzle?"

"There are scenes of looking for key items and then escaping from a certain building, there are scenes of finding the location of explosives based on clues, and there are more scenes of solving crimes... There is no need to say the specific situation,

Because every time I go in, the scene I encounter is different, and previous experience is completely useless. "Mr. Gaston was a little helpless when he said this, he is really not good at this.

"No wonder you would spend a lot of money to hire a 'detective' to come over..." Abner immediately understood what Mr. Gaston was thinking. The money he gave was less. If it was only a few hundred pounds, the teacher might not even pay any attention to it, after all. The other party would never mention the 'Dream Labyrinth Tower' in the telegram... Even 1,000 pounds didn't impress the teacher, otherwise he wouldn't let me and Hugh come... But if you find a 'detective' nearby, Gus I'm afraid Mr. Dong won't be relieved, because it's easy to be killed by others and monopolize this entrance.

"When the three of us go in, will we disperse into different dream realms?" At this time, Xio interrupted and asked.

Mr. Gaston shook his head and said: "No, you can choose to 'group' before entering the tower, so that although the difficulty will increase, you can face the puzzle together. And in the first three floors, the difficulty increase is also high. It’s not much, in my opinion, it’s better to be lucky..."

The team has been formed... Abner suddenly had an idea, this so-called 'Dream Labyrinth Tower' couldn't be created by that guy Roselle, right? He is not only the angel of the path of the perfect, but also the knowledge emperor of the hermit, which perfectly fits the inference created by Mr. Gaston's high-level Extraordinary of the sequence of the generalist and the sequence of the voyeur.

But this was just his speculation, and Abner didn't say it, but turned to other topics and asked, "Mr. Gaston, can you tell me what rank you are?" He needed to evaluate the other party's ability , otherwise it would be even more difficult to bring a dragging dungeon.

"I'm a Sequence 7 'appraiser'." Mr. Gaston didn't want to hide it, and said directly.

It turned out to be a big dog sequence, no wonder they are so rich, after all, the perfect person path sequence 5 and below have little combat power, relying on Extraordinary items to smash people. After a few words in his heart, Abner nodded and said, "We have no problem for now, do you have anything else to remind us?"

After thinking for a while, Mr. Gaston asked, "Can you make 'Dream Charms'?"

"Yes, what's the problem?" Other gods can only provide believers with the ability within their own authority to turn into spells, but the God of Knowledge is different. He can respond to requests for making almost all types of spells, but the spells are less effective.

"The 'door' to enter the underground requires the ability of dreams as a 'key', so the 'dream spell' is an indispensable thing. Of course, if you are a 'nightmare' or a 'dream walker', it's a different matter. Originally, if you don't have it, I I still have to go to the Extraordinary Gathering to buy two, but since you know how to make them, there’s no problem.” After Mr. Gaston explained, he added, “You guys are exhausted from the journey today, so take a rest and prepare Just a moment. We will assemble here at nine o'clock tomorrow evening."

Abner and Hugh had no objection to this arrangement, and after asking Mr. Gaston for some materials for the ceremony, they returned to the dormitory arranged by the other party.

There is no need to go into details about the process of the ceremony. It is still very simple to make two low-level spells with Abner's current expert level in ritual magic.

After sealing the two 'dream charms' spiritually, he didn't think about the dream labyrinth, because he didn't know what scenes he would encounter, and it was useless to think about it. What he is thinking now is how to establish a connection with Klein, that is, Mister Fool.

Although I obtained the method of making items connected to the source castle by analyzing the gray fog before, this method is essentially a ritual magic, and it also needs to pray to the gods or unknown existence for help! And Abner didn't want other gods to use him as a medium to threaten Klein, no matter how friendly the god of knowledge and wisdom was at the moment. This is the main reason why he has not produced the item for a long time.

"Forget it, it's useless to think too much. Anyway, there is still time. Klein's spirituality can't afford more people to join the Tarot Society at the moment. Wait for me to be promoted to the 'Knowledge Keeper' and develop the 'Pure White Eye'" It may be able to solve this problem...If it doesn't work, after Klein compiled the name of the Fool, I can use the ancient Hermetic language to recite the connection... This choice will be too much trouble in the future, and it will be very difficult Gaining Klein's trust is not necessary unless it is absolutely necessary."

...

At the same time, in an old apartment in Tingen.

A black-haired, brown-eyed young man with an obvious bookish look raised his gun and looked at the uninvited guest who rolled out of his room, as well as the gradually closing door, smiled slightly, and said to himself:

"You may not believe it when you say it, but my round is actually an empty bomb."

This young man was Klein Moretti. After he waited in the room for a while, he suddenly saw Dunn Smith standing opposite him in a knee-length black windbreaker, a half-top hat, and dark gray eyes.

After learning from Dunn that the person who was going to attack him was a member of the Secret Order, and that he had the chance to become an Extraordinary because of this meritorious service, Klein did not immediately choose the 'Seer', but prepared for the second God will make his own decision.

As Dunn's dream power disappeared, in a small attic not far from the old apartment, a handsome silver-haired man in a red shirt and black coat squinted his eyes and smiled, saying to himself: "As expected... That's really interesting."

...

July 1, at nine o'clock in the evening.

The two of Abner followed Mr. Gaston to the basement of the school warehouse, and entered the real underground passage through a secret door. Then, at the end of the passage, they saw a door between reality and illusion, but with a rather gorgeous shape.

"Just activate the dream charm on the door!" Mr. Gaston took the lead in demonstrating after finishing speaking.

Abner and Hugh naturally followed their advice.

With the activation of the spell, they felt that the surrounding scenes changed rapidly, and then, a towering tower appeared in front of them, but stood upside down on the ground!
