The moment a change occurred on the sea, Angel felt that a complete monochromatic picture without any information appeared in front of her eyes. Except for her hands and body, she could only see bright white everywhere she looked.
It was not temporary blindness caused by seeing an extremely strong flash of light, nor was it falling into a dark environment and causing blindness. Besides, even if she encountered the latter, her Dark Vision could still provide normal vision.
This state lasted for nearly 10 seconds, and then Angel's vision returned to normal and he could see the surrounding environment clearly.
Although her feet had never left the solid ground, she had already appeared in a large room. The wooden deck below turned into dark stone slabs, and the Klein and Anne beside her disappeared and turned into rows of benches.
Surrounding the rows of chairs are walls also made of dark black stone slabs, with messy patterns painted on them, supplemented by a row of windows that are not evenly spaced.
Further above, there is an arched dome, with countless metal rods hanging down from there, and at the bottom are strange-shaped candlesticks.
The asymmetrical number, 40 on one side, 41 on the other side... Looking along the two rows of candlesticks into the distance, Angel noticed that there was a long and slender passage at the end of the room. The black metal arch was tightly closed. Against the dim candlelight, it seemed as if there was some monster sealed inside.
She continued to look around and found that there was no other exit on the other side opposite the arch. Instead, there was a platform that was halfway above the ground. It had a dark base and a finely carved figure sitting on a throne.
A young man with short hair and a crown... Is this the same self-advertisement as Nast, or is he really a certain King, an emperor? It looks good-looking, but a little too polite, or like a nerd, similar to Klein who just joined Nighthawks... Angel quickly commented on the appearance of the statue and had some guesses about its identity.
If there were no problems with the previous "ritual", she would probably have arrived inside "Ghost Empire" and appeared inside a building that looked like a church but enshrined a humanoid statue.
Based on the mainly dark black stone slabs dotted with knife-like patterns and the asymmetrical candlestick above the head, Angel can infer that this is a Fourth Epoch style building. The "person" enshrined in it is most likely the emperor of the Trensoest Empire at that time, who was also God, "Night Emperor" of Sequence 0.
Of course, the real Night Emperor had already fallen in the war of Fourth Epoch, and even Beyonder Characteristic was divided up. The statue here is probably just a symbol, representing that he is still respected here, just like the holy emblem enshrined in the church of the Seven Gods.
"Speaking of which, before Fifth Epoch, God also had their own specific images. Their sculptures appeared in the ruins of Tudor and in the temple of Forsaken Land of the Gods. Until the mystery was far away from reality and God no longer walked in the world, these images were streamlined into holy emblems that were easier to spread..."
Taking one last look at the image of "Night Emperor", Angel turned around and walked towards the only exit of the church-like hall.
During this period, she tried to enter "Mirror World" and was pleased to find that even here, she could contact the space between Spirit World and reality, which meant that if she encountered an extremely unfavorable situation, she could hide in the mirror, or directly return to Physical World and leave "Ghost Empire".
Now, the first thing to do is to find Klein and Anne. In addition, we must also pay attention to the movements of Nast Solomon and Georgina Augustus. They are obviously in a weak position, and they still want to follow them here. They must have their own plans...
Thinking about it, Angel touched the cold metal arch with both hands and pushed it outward with a slight force.
When the mutation occurred, Klein also experienced the moment when blinding white light filled his field of vision.
At the same time, he found that contact with most Marionette's Spirit Body Threads was interrupted!
No, there are still "Fallen Earl" Qonas Kilgor... Those pirates, Enyouni and Ludwell are gone... Fortunately, they only have a small amount of Charm with them. The "Blood Flower" ring was given to Chunas, and "Death Knell" I took with me...
Thinking that the two precious Beyonder Marionette and their characteristics were missing, Klein's heart tightened. He manipulated Chunas to return to his side and transformed into "Gehrman" with the same thin cheeks. He also used illusions to change his clothes and quickly looked around after his sight recovered.
He had left the deck of Queen Anne's Revenge. Angel, Anne and the temporarily converted pirates Marionette were all gone. He was in a small space that looked like a hotel reception desk, but there was no waiter behind the reception desk and the door to the outside world was closed.
What about them? I was transferred to "Ghost Empire" alone? Or maybe it was actually some kind of Teleportation that brought me back to the city of the North Continent? Anyway, it couldn't be a dream. I could clearly feel that something was wrong in the dream... Klein's thoughts were spinning rapidly, he took out a gold coin from his windbreaker pocket, and did a few simple divination to confirm that he was not in danger, but he couldn't figure out his location for the moment.
During this period, Chunas, who became "Gehrman", also made the same move.
Why are the other Marionette gone... Even though they are thousands of meters apart, I can continue to control their Spirit Body Threads. The only possibility is that the distance is even further away, and they are not even in the same space anymore, causing them to lose control. Although this will not cause the death of Marionette immediately, it can only last ten minutes at most without getting back the "contact"...
Fortunately, the most important thing Marionette has not been lost... Looking at Demigod Marionette Chunas's sharp-edged face that was consistent with his own appearance, Klein felt a little comforted and immediately observed the surrounding environment.
The mainly black and asymmetric ancient furnishings are obviously not large, but the ceiling is surprisingly high, and there are candlesticks connected by metal rods, which is in line with the architectural characteristics of Fourth Epoch... Looking around, Klein quickly determined that this "reception hall" probably belonged to "Ghost Empire", and was about to try to leave from the door, suddenly Spirituality felt something and looked towards the stairs on the other side.
Snap, snap.
The sound of approaching footsteps sounded from the stairs leading upstairs, knocking on Klein's heart.
This is the sound of high heels... He just realized something and was about to turn on his Spirit Body Threads vision to capture the figure of the person coming, when the person turned around the stairs and appeared in front of him.
It was a woman with Golden Mask on her face, wearing a black evening dress, with slender white calves and high heels exposed under the skirt.
The golden mask and black evening dress should be Duchess Georgina. How dare she follow up at that time? Sequence 3's Nast and Angel can't be beat by her. Anne is even more... Well, I'm afraid she doesn't know Anne.... And her outfit is not suitable for combat at all. Even Angel, who has gradually grown to like wearing gorgeous skirts, will not wear it like this when preparing for battle... I remember that she also wore this way during the battle where Pritz Harbor, Sharron, and Maric cooperated to steal the mummy. Doesn't she have any special quirks?
Klein Several thoughts suddenly popped up in his mind. Before he could take any action, the other party asked:
"Gehrman Sparrow?"
She knows me... so she shouldn't rush into the scope of "Ghost Empire" unless she feels that Angel has an agreement with her and will stand on her side...
While he was thinking, Chunas held the fake top hat in his hand, bent slightly and saluted, and replied:
"It's me, are you the Duchess Georgina that Angelica mentioned?"
Confusing the difference between the real body and Marionette is the basic skill of "Trick Sorcerer". What's more, his only Marionette is also Demigod. Unexpectedly, "Imperative Mage" sees the difference in personality and recognizes his true identity.
Sure enough, Georgina just glanced at "Marionette" Klein, then looked at Chunas, nodded and said:
"Yes, I have an agreement with 'Golden Queen' to deal with Nast Solomon together, and most of the loot in 'Ghost Empire' will belong to her."
Lies... And what qualifications does she have to talk about trophies now? No one can beat Sequence 4... Wait, before I entered here, I was standing with Angel and Anne. After entering, I was inexplicably separated. Instead, I was with who was the farthest away. Georgina appeared in the same building, and Marionette was the only one left with Sequence 4's Chunas... A flash of lightning flashed in Klein's mind, and he caught a glimmer of inspiration. Just as he was about to continue his in-depth analysis, he heard a slight sound of the handle being turned from the door, and then being pushed away from the outside.
A ray of light then entered the room through the crack in the door.
Georgina ignored the conversation and looked at the door warily. He raised one hand slightly, as if he wanted to issue a "command" with his front finger, and touched his slender waist with the other hand, where a strange-looking golden badge hung.
Crunch——
The door was completely pushed open, and in the pale yellow light, several figures walked openly into the reception hall. The middle-aged man in the lead wore a top hat and a straight dress, holding a black scepter. The few behind him had short hair slicked back and wore black vests and trousers. They quickly followed the man in the top hat and stood on both sides.
"Welcome to 'Dream City'!"
They all shouted loudly and bowed together, just like a hotel welcoming distinguished guests.
What's going on... Klein's pupils shrank, causing Marionette to show subtle but detectable surprise.
The lady in evening dress next to him also did the same. She even lowered her raised hands and leaned back slightly. Although her expression was hidden under the mask, Klein guessed that her face must be full of astonishment.
How could Fourth Epoch and "Ghost Empire", who were thought to be surrounded by dangers, be like this?
