"Tamara..."

Mobet gently chewed on this unfamiliar and difficult-to-pronounce term, which made Angel once again confirm that the "Dream Thief" in front of her was not the one who had fought alongside her, but a character in the book "remodeled" based on part of his memory and personality. His behavior was logically consistent with the "story", but he did not remember his true identity.

Of course, according to the theory of mystical subconsciousness and Collective Unconscious, he should still have this part of his memory, but it is just hidden in Depths of Consciousness, like a backlog of goods.

"Sorry, I haven't heard of that name."

After thinking for a moment, Mobet smiled apologetically. Rejecting the beautiful woman in front of him made him feel a little uneasy, so he took the initiative to find other topics and told the story of how he and Shatas met, got acquainted, and finally got married.

Beautiful, but illusory, like a "personality" that has been brushed off... Angel commented, feeling increasingly sad for these teammates he had known for a short time.

When the high-altitude wine in front of him was almost finished, Angel finally saw Klein pushing open the door of the pub and walking in. He passed by the small table in front of the two of them as if passing by, and handed the characteristics of "Nightmare" to Angel.

Due to the hand-holding characteristics, Angel can simply use the ability of "Nightmare". Under her Spirit Vision, a hazy ball of light appeared on Mobet in front of her. It was shaking constantly and seemed to be resisting the contact of Angel.

He's not asleep yet...

As soon as he had this thought, Angel found that the opponent's "light ball" had become soft and lost its resistance.

She looked up and found that Klein had thrown out a "Slumber Charm" Charm at some point, causing most of the people in the tavern to fall asleep, and the rest were also a little dazed, as if they had drunk too much low-quality wine.

Thank you... She mouthed silently, touched Mobet's light ball with Spirituality, and entered his dream.

This is still a tavern from the outside world, only more noisy. The "Dream Thief" sitting opposite Angel is also very enthusiastic, as if he has become the real him.

After some pleasantries similar to those before, Angel once again asked a question about "Tamara".

"I remembered that they are a not-so-famous family. They control part of the 'Justiciar' Pathway formula, so they have been suppressed by the Solomon Empire's Augustus and Castile for a long time. Haha, if not for this, no one would know their names at all."

To the same question, Mobet in the dream had a different reaction. He thought for a moment before answering.

"In addition, they have been married to a group called 'Witch Family' for a long time. The real nobles of Solomon don't bother to do this... well, except for the Abrahams."

Witch Family... refers to the Demoness Sect?

When Angel heard this term, his first reaction was that it has become a secret cult. Everyone shouts "Demoness Sect", but instinctively feels that there is some difference between the two, otherwise he would not openly marry the nobles of Fourth Epoch without being suppressed.

"Witch Family?"

She asked rhetorically, guiding the direction of the conversation.

"I don't know much about them. I only know that they have a near-monopoly over Demoness, Pathway, and High Sequence, and use marriages to intervene in the affairs of the empire... I was suspicious the first time I saw you. You must be an Demoness, right?"

Mobet looked at Angel who was sitting across from him, then changed the topic and exposed the other person's identity.

Mobet in the dream became more difficult to deal with... No wonder he asked me if I was related to the Tamara Family when he saw me under the cave in the ice field. It turned out to be this reason.

If calculated based on the time point when Mobet Fourth Epoch entered "The Travels of Grosell", "Primordial Demoness" Cheek may not have become It is the real God, so "Demoness Sect" is still just a family, and even needs to marry nobles to gain support... Angel thought, nodded and acknowledged his identity.

Since he was in a dream and created an environment favorable to himself through the "Nightmare" ability, Angel did not hide his Pathway, but continued to use "Persuasion" to guide him.

"Let's talk about that Witch Family in detail."

Her tone was soft and irresistible.

"Actually, you don't have to do this, I will also say..." Mobet looked away, picked up the wine glass to hide his expression, and continued, "All I know is that they are the only ones with Abraham and The marriage between Tamaras will not cause any tension among other nobles. After all, they are only female. Apart from sending some of their female offspring back to the Witch Family, there are almost no disadvantages to the families involved in the marriage."

They are very good at using their own advantages, and this kind of one-sided marriage to "transport talents" to the outside world will indeed not arouse the vigilance of other families... Angel slandered.

Wait, send women back to the Witch Family?

She suddenly realized that there was a clear difference between what Mobet said and the facts she had learned before.

According to Katarina's daughter, Lola Pelle, Demoness Sect's rule is to hand over female offspring to outsiders to raise them. Only men can obtain the "assassin" Potion and be promoted to the new "Demoness".

But "Witch Family" in the Fourth Epoch Solomon era seems to have the exact opposite approach?

"In 'Witch Family', are the majority born male, or the majority female? Well, I assume you already know the 'problem' of 'Demoness' Pathway."

Angel suppressed his inner surprise and asked.

"What kind of problem is this?" Mobet sneered kindly, took a sip of distilled wine, and said, "Unless they are born with it, most men will not choose this Pathway, right?"

Sure enough, the biggest difference between Fourth Epoch's "Witch Family" and the current "Demoness Sect" is probably the way in which future generations are raised... Is this due to some kind of change in the long history, or is it a deliberate change under the guidance of some high-level officials?

Or was it simply controlled by "Primordial Demoness" Cheek who became God and had control over the family and the entire Pathway, and became the evil sect it is today?

Moreover, since we know that most Demoness are women, when we were in the cave and heard that I was "Affliction" Demoness, why did you look at me with that weird look... Keeping all these questions in mind, Angel suddenly recalled the way Mobet looked at him, and his expression became weird.

"Haha, are you actually a 'male Demoness'?" Mobet saw her expression change, chuckled and said, "Sorry, it was just a joke, don't tell Shatas."

While the dream was not over yet, Angel once again asked some historical questions about Fourth Epoch. Soon, his head felt swollen, and he wanted to change Klein to come in to communicate, but the surrounding dream suddenly shook, the outer wall of the tavern deformed and collapsed, and the surrounding drinkers disappeared without a trace.

This means that the dream is about to end.

Angel immediately exited the dream and was surprised to find a tall woman with soft black hair and soft facial features standing in front of him.

She was grabbing Mobet, who was sleeping on the table, by his ears, shaking "Dream Thief" from his dream, and shaking Fell short up.

"Sneaking out to drink again!"

Her voice is soft, but contains endless anger, it is "Elf Singer" Shatas.

Mobet trembled all over and woke up. He looked at Angel across the wine table with confused eyes. He wisely did not continue the conversation, but covered his ears and was dragged out of the tavern by Shatas.

"Next time you come here, you'll never go home!"

Listening to the distant sounds outside the tavern, Angel had a smile on his face, but his eyes were a little sad.

Mobet, Shatas, they don't know me, and they don't know Klein. These are just characters in "The Travels of Grosell", not the real them...

After silently saying goodbye to the couple, Angel stood up and walked out of the tavern with Klein who had been standing in the corner watching the whole "domestic violence". They walked along the lively Loen retro-style street, passed through the busy city gate area, and returned to the Double Door door that only they could see.

In the cold wind that was far less intense than Storm on the day of the duel with "King of the North", Angel stood for a moment, adjusted his mood, and then asked Klein:

"Where are you? Have you seen Grosell?"

Klein also had unconcealable sadness in his eyes. He nodded and said:

"Same as Mobet, the giant doesn't recognize me anymore, but in the dream, I saw the real 'Giant King’s Court'. Of course, this may also come from Grosell's imagination, which may not be consistent with reality. This is a characteristic of dreams...

"I met 'Giant King' Aurmir, Queen 'Goddess of Harvest' Omebella, the eldest son ' The mural of God of Dawn'Bardhiel gives us a certain understanding of the history of Second Epoch. Unfortunately, we were not able to go deep into the underground of the royal court. There are dangers there that can corrode the dream. We can only explore it later..."

Angel also shared the story of "Witch Family". The completely different approach from the current "Demoness Sect" made Klein frown. Like Angel, he pointed his suspicion at "Primordial Demoness" Cheek.

Of course, they don't have any evidence, so they can only keep their doubts in their hearts and resolve them later.

After touching the pair of Door Opening together, Angel and Klein returned to Grey Fog Space and sat back on their own high-back chairs. At the top of the long table, Gray Fog was filled with Gray Fog, and Mr. Fool could not be seen clearly among them.

"Mr. Fool, thank you for your help. We have successfully explored the world of "The Travels of Grosell". As agreed, I will present the relevant information to you."

After restoring the hooded attire of "The World", Klein bowed his head respectfully and said to Fool.

Then, he gave Angel a "you know" look.

In fact, I can stay and wait for you... Angel muttered silently, and applied to Fool to return to reality first.

Wrapped in deep red light, Angel returned to the suite bedroom of the "Azure Wind" hotel. She calmed down a little and immediately took out the "Ocean Songster" belonging to Shatas " Beyonder Characteristic, as well as the Potion formula copied in advance, are ready to be sacrificed to Fool and traded with Hanged Man.

"By the way, Klein should still be among Gray Fog now..."

Passing by the second bedroom, Angel suddenly became curious. She carefully pushed open the unlocked door, wanting to see what kind of condition Klein's body would be when Spirit Body went to Gray Fog.

"According to my previous speculation, at this time, our bodies should remain stiff in their original posture until Spirit Body returns..."

She swept her curious eyes across the bedroom and found that Klein was not sitting in a chair or lying on the bed in advance as she usually did during "meetings". Instead, she stood sluggishly beside the bed, her feet in a strange and Distortion posture, and her eyes were blank, staring straight ahead.
