"'The World' submitted an application before Tarot Club started, you can ask him."
Klein answered in as calm a tone as possible, then completely hid himself with a strong Gray Fog, switched to the "world" perspective, cleared his throat, and said:
"I request Mr. Fool to stay with us after the meeting to explore "The Travels of Grosell"."
As he spoke, the dark brown-covered parchment book and two small glass bottles appeared in front of him.
The bottle contains dark red blood.
That's my blood that I gave him yesterday... Angel squinted his eyes and carefully observed Klein's movements, then suddenly faced the direction of Fool and said:
"Mr. Fool, could you please move me to Mr. World's side?"
"A small thing."
Mr. Fool seemed to be in a good mood today. Not only did he agree to Klein's request, but he also responded to Angel's request. He waved his arm gently behind Gray Fog. Angel felt his eyes flash and sat down at the end of the long bronze table, on the right hand side of the "world" Klein.
It exactly corresponds to her original relative position to Fool.
"Thank you."
Angel first expressed his gratitude to Fool, then looked at Klein and asked in a low voice:
"Why not try it in reality? Isn't it dangerous to enter "The Travels of Grosell" in Spirit Body state?"
She participated in Tarot Club just like usual. Only Spirit Body came to Gray Fog. All the Mystical Item in her body were not manifested, and her combat effectiveness dropped a lot.
"On the contrary, I think it is safer to enter the Travel Notes in this state," Klein simply took off his hood, revealing the face of Gehrman underneath, and said while playing with the glass bottle in his hand, "If we can't find the exit in the Travel Notes, we can pray to Mr. Fool and ask Him to pull us back here. If the physical body also enters, there is a risk of being unable to leave."
Judging from his familiar actions, he should have made similar attempts before, or carried out detailed divination... Angel waited quietly. It was not until he put on "Creeping Hunger" and put "Death Knell" in his arms that he showed surprise.
"Why did you bring Mystical Item here..."
"Be prepared."
Mystical Item seemed to bring Klein back to the "Mad Adventurer" style. He answered succinctly, poured out a third of the blood belonging to Angel, dripped it on the cover of "The Travels of Grosell", raised his head and asked:
"Are you ready?"
"Get ready..."
Angel Before he finished speaking, a familiar snowfield appeared in front of him.
Huh——
A not too violent cold wind blew by, causing Angel to wake up instantly. She looked around and quickly confirmed that this was the place where she and Grosell defeated "King of the North" last time. Ulyssan's place, the cave they used to hide in, has been buried by rubble and covered with not too thick snow. Where Ulyssan's head betrayed its body and committed "suicide", a huge door of Double Door still stood.
"That should be the 'exit' of this world. If my guess is correct, just push it away and you can leave "The Travels of Grosell"..."
After confirming this, Angel was completely relieved. At least she could choose to leave Book World at the right time, so as not to get stuck in it and be forgotten by the outside world after thousands of years like Grosell and Shatas.
The sound of "gululu" wheels rolling over the ground came. In Angel's sight, a carriage drove from behind the towering door and passed directly through the door Double Door, as if it was just an invisible illusion.
The carriage moved along the road and came to the other side of where Angel was. A stone city wall more than fifteen meters high stretched horizontally to both ends, with no end in sight in the snow and fog.
The carriage quickly arrived at the city gate, and the two soldiers began to carefully inspect the goods on the carriage.
"Is the door illusory, or are these people unable to see or touch it?"
Angel murmured, carefully observing the soldiers beside the city gate, and found that they were wearing leather armor and holding spears. They looked like North Continent soldiers who had not experienced the industrial revolution.
Not only them, but Passerby who came in and out of the city gate, and the houses with spires behind the city wall all showed a similar style.
"Like a city from hundreds of years ago, right?"
Next to Angel, Klein, who appeared at some point, said in a relaxed tone.
He was wearing the same tan jacket and dark trousers as Passerby. He was not wearing a top hat. Apart from gold-rimmed glasses, there was almost no similarity with Gehrman.
"It's just a little illusion."
Noticing Angel's gaze, Klein chuckled and pointed to her. The former's somewhat conspicuous Rothschild-style dress also changed into a linen dress. Then the two merged into the crowd entering the city and walked towards the city gate.
But she did not carry the "hypocrisy" ring, so her appearance was still outstanding. When she arrived at the city gate, she had already attracted the attention of the gatekeeper. Two young soldiers gathered around her, almost ignoring Klein, saluted Angel, and asked about the reason for entering the city.
Even in a fantasy world, appearance is still an important asset... Klein watched quietly from the side as Angel said a few words and used the "Persuasion" ability to dismiss the soldiers, exempting them from the city tax.
She even tricked, well, "borrowed" a few local currencies... Klein muttered, followed Angel, easily entered the city gate, and looked at the city in the book.
"The Loen style is a clothing style that was popular two hundred years ago... If I guess correctly, this is related to Longzeer, which was the latest to enter "The Travels of Grosell"."
As a top student in the history department, he quickly recognized the era of architecture and clothing, and whispered to Angel beside him.
At the same time, he tried to use Spirit Vision to look at Passerby, and was surprised to find that everyone possessed Spirit Body Threads, and could even be controlled by him and become Marionette.
"I can't tell it's the world in the book at all. I can even smell the aroma of freshly baked bread..."
Angel was also immersed in this city with a peaceful atmosphere and a slow pace of life, looking around curiously.
Suddenly, her eyes stayed on one spot.
There was a building similar in style to pubs everywhere in Loen, especially in coastal cities. A man wearing a black pointed hat and an asymmetrical coat looked around for a while, pushed Door Opening, and quickly slipped in.
"Mobet Soroyasde."
Angel read out the name of this "Dream Thief" who had only been with him for less than an hour, recalling in his mind the tragic moment when he and "Elf Singer" Shatas died embracing each other and turned into bones.
Unexpectedly, Mobet, who had died in the outside world, actually appeared in "The Travels of Grosell" again.
Is it the same person, or is it a false character "created" in the book using the marks they left over a long period of time?
"Are you going to see him?"
Klein asked softly, his eyes locked on the other side of the street, where there was a huge stone building that looked four stories high but was actually only two stories. A four-meter-tall giant walked out of the door.
That's Grosell with gray-blue skin and one vertical eye!
When entering "The Travels of Grosell", time in the outside world flows at a normal speed, and the same is true for the time relationship between Grey Fog Space in Mr. Fool and reality. Therefore, the two of them must seize the time to explore this illusory world. After a while, they decided that one of them would take the Beyonder Characteristic of "Nightmare" to see Grosell, and the other of them would "reminisce about the past" with Mobet first.
Seeing Klein striding towards the depths of the street, Angel also pushed Door Opening into the tavern.
There were not many drinkers inside at this time, most of them were sitting in the corner, chatting with each other. Mobet was sitting alone near the bar, with a glass of clear distilled liquor in front of him, drinking sips.
His eyes swept over the familiar guests in the tavern, and suddenly locked on Angel who entered the door. His eyes showed undisguised surprise, which was immediately replaced by panic, and finally he took the initiative to look away.
That was an unfamiliar sight... Angel sighed, took the initiative to step forward, bought an unknown drink from the bartender with the local currency Lidel obtained from the soldiers at the city gate, and sat down opposite Mobet.
"Hello, Mr. Mobet."
She took the initiative to test the other party.
"You know me?"
Mobet raised his eyebrows, and his eyes refocused on Angel's undisguised beauty. Every guest in the tavern also made the same move. Fortunately, the city was in order, and they just admired it silently and did not do anything out of the ordinary.
"I know Shatas."
Angel replied, feeling an inexplicable pain in his heart. Although they only got along for a short time, that elf with a fiery personality still left a deep memory in Angel's mind.
"It turned out to be her friend... Haha, if I had met you before I met her, I would have pursued you crazily." Mobet said with a chuckle, but his voice was very low, as if he was worried about being heard.
It seems that the two of them are already married in "The Travels of Grosell". That's good. Rather than turning into withered bones, at least the two of them have a happy ending in the book... And I didn't expect that he was unexpectedly devoted and didn't even dare to admire beautiful women in the tavern...
Angel looked away to avoid Mobet seeing her sadness. She raised her glass and took a sip of an unknown alcoholic beverage. She almost choked on the strong and stimulating taste. After calming down, she continued to ask:
"I have a few questions for you."
After calming down, she put away her sympathy and sadness, turned to the topic, and even used the ability of "Instigation".
She didn't think that the Mobet in front of her really had the strength of Sequence 5 and "Dream Thief" and could resist her ability. After all, the Beyonder Characteristic was now in the hands of Anderson.
Moreover, even if the other party really has Sequence 5, Angel is sure to lead the conversation in the direction he needs.
"Tell me, it just so happens that I also want to chat with Shatas's friend."
The Fourth Epoch Viscount answered with a smile, drank down the high-altitude wine in his hand, with a trace of confusion in his eyes, and patted the bar table to ask the bartender to fill the glass again.
After the bartender left, Angel continued to speak:
"Do you know the 'Tamara' family of Fourth Epoch?"
