East Chester County in January is still very cold, with snow often visible, bare branches and leaves in the woods, wild animals Concealment, and lifeless.
Audrey led Susie, surrounded by servants and maids, around the collapsed ancient tower several times, but found nothing.
There were only piles of gray bricks and rotten wood there, with weeds and the corpses of some small animals visible in the gaps.
Audrey had hoped to find some murals on the ruins of the walls, decipher the origins of the ancient tower, and secretly practice her extraordinary " Psychiatrist " skills such as " Awe," " Frenzy," and " Placate " by taking advantage of the wild beasts that roamed the area. However, she was very disappointed with the result.
This wasn't a small adventure... it was just a simple horseback ride... She pursed her lips, gripped the whip, and walked toward her mount.
Halfway there, still somewhat unwilling, she asked the servants and maids around her another question:
Are there any legends of Monster in the area?
Half of the servants had followed her from Backlund to the family castle and then to this manor, while the other half were locals who were usually busy at the manor. Audrey's question was undoubtedly directed at the latter.
The reason she came to this manor was because the surrounding area has a history of Dragon worship.
A young servant stole a glance at the noble and beautiful lady, then mustered his courage, stepped forward, bowed, and said:
"Deep in this forest are many terrible beasts, and Hunter die there every year, but no one has ever encountered Monster."
"This is just like the situation described in an old folk song that circulates here..."
He roughly recounted the folk song, its specific meaning being:
Monster are in your dreams;
" The Dragon are in your dreams;"
"That imagined, magnificent palace, floating in mid-air, is also in your dreams;"
"There, you will have everything, until you awaken."
Curious children, brave adventurers, go forth, go and find the Dragon of your dreams... The servant omitted the last line of the lyrics, not uttering it aloud, for it would be misinterpreted as him mocking Miss Audrey.
The Dragon is in the dream... the imagined, magnificent palace floating in mid-air is also in the dream... Audrey pondered for a few seconds, and suddenly felt that this ancient ballad was not entirely meaningless.
The information she obtained from the little " The Sun " about the Dragon revealed that the " Dragon of Imagination " Ankewelt had indeed Envisioning a Floating City, with huge temple pillars supporting magnificent palaces. Its name was " Liveseyd," meaning the City of Miracles.
In the dream... the " Spectator " pathway belongs to the Mind Dragon, involving the Sea of Collective Subconscious, and the Sky of Spirituality. From any perspective, it inevitably involves the realm of "dreams"... This ancient song might really be a sign... Could " Liveseyd " really exist in the Sea of Collective Subconscious, in dreams? But dreams are purely spiritual... Many thoughts flashed through Audrey's mind, and even after returning to the manor, she couldn't sort out her thoughts clearly.
Upon entering the room, she glanced at the golden retriever Susie and suddenly felt a surge of urge to show off.
Susie doesn't know anything about the Dragon, so she definitely wouldn't be able to perceive the peculiarity of this ballad... No, I can't be arrogant, that's too superficial... And it would be easy for Susie to discover that I'm hiding a secret... Audrey paced back and forth a few times with her back straight, and asked seemingly casually:
" Susie, what do you think that song was really about? I have a feeling it's not as simple as it seems."
Susie opened her mouth, but for a moment she didn't know how to answer, because she knew nothing about poetry.
She thought about it seriously and said:
" Audrey, I'm just a dog."
In the jungle of Blue Mountain Island.
Driven by excitement and exhilaration, Kalat remained awake, sitting in his wheelchair, looking around as if he had found another purpose for survival besides revenge.
After completing the entire circle, he returned to the altar, intending to offer another prayer.
He remembered the contents of the "Ten Commandments" very clearly and knew that he could not use the name of the Sea God indiscriminately, so he planned to use the relatively vague "God" instead when praying.
As he approached the altar, his gaze suddenly became fixed, for the items placed inside possessed an unusual aura. For example, the dagger reflected not the crimson moonlight, but the silvery-white lightning; and the leaf was even greener, giving one a feeling of ease just by looking at it.
"Divine grace has descended..." This phrase suddenly flashed through Kalat's mind.
At this moment, he no longer had any doubts about the changes made to " Sea God," and those blasphemous thoughts that had been lurking in his heart completely vanished.
The revelation from God that He would reappear on the earth means that He would reshape His image... This meaning is very profound, and we had not understood it at all before... Kalat slowly took a breath, put his hands on his hands, and solemnly prostrated himself, bowing to the great Sea God.
Soon, he returned to his wheelchair and headed to the residences of the High Priest, Edmonton, and others.
He couldn't wait to tell his companions what had just happened, and he was eager to share with them the "vastness of divine grace."
It was 11:15 PM.
Klein sat in his chair, expressionless, watching Danitz perform the " Spirit Summoning Ritual," memorizing every detail.
He made a preliminary judgment, still relying on the Spirit World.
"If it is Spirit World, as long as the description is correct, the location is accurate, and language with a certain 'power' is used, it can be summoned directly, or its spirit can be brought down, regardless of distance or range."
"To some extent, deities also possess this quality. However, sometimes, even if you pray using ordinary language, you may receive a response from them, provided that you have become a believer and have received their attention."
"The Demigod- human level seems to have some degree of fusion with the Spirit World, so it is possible to point to them through precise descriptions and get a response. However, there is a distance limit. Once you go beyond the range, they can no longer receive the 'signal'... ' Sea God ' Kavithua is an example."
"Even a Mid-Sequence powerhouse like ' Vice Admiral Iceberg ' cannot accomplish something like this on his own; he must rely on a corresponding deity who provides a precise and unambiguous description, and even then, there are limitations on distance and scope."
Just as Klein finished gathering his thoughts, the various objects on the altar began to Levitation up, except for the three candles.
Danitz's body trembled uncontrollably, and his expression gradually turned cold.
Soon, he spoke in a " Vice Admiral Iceberg " style female voice:
"Good evening."
There seemed to be an underlying anger at being woken up... Klein felt that Danitz had become effeminate.
He considered it for a moment and said:
"I have found a way to obtain the ' Admiral of Blood '."
"What?" Edwina Edwards, who had been possessed by Danitz, had returned to her normal tone, meaning she was completely devoid of emotion.
Klein said succinctly:
"They have the latest wireless telegraph technology; I got the frequency band and cipher information from ' White Bear '."
"Wireless, telegraph... you know this?" Edwina seemed surprised that Gehrman Sparrow, an expert in the field of occultism, also possessed basic knowledge of radio communication technology.
Klein smiled politely:
"I know a little."
Edwina paused for two seconds, then spoke through Danitz:
"Have they found it?"
Does this mean " Admiral of Blood " and his team discovered the code and frequency band leaks? Theoretically, they should have already noticed, since their intelligence officer Old Quinn, was killed by " The Hanged Man." However, before wireless telegraphy became widely used, users could easily overlook security risks... Klein didn't give a definitive answer:
"Maybe.
"But we can give it a try."
As long as the signal can be detected, the chances of finding " Admiral of Blood " are very high! As a " Sea God ", although he is only Demigod and cannot know everything about what is happening in the "territorial waters", he can control those marine creatures and make them help find people... Klein silently added a couple of sentences in his mind.
Edwina pondered for a moment and said:
"I asked Danitz to help me listen in."
"You know a lot about wireless telegraphy too..." Klein grinned.
"Good."
Spirit Summoning Ritual ended, Danitz watched with very mixed feelings as Gehrman Sparrow took out a rather large machine and its corresponding accessories from the bedroom.
"What is this?" he asked in astonishment.
Klein said in a calm tone:
"Radio receiver."
Danitz opened his mouth, and finally managed to utter a sentence:
Where did you get this?
Klein glanced at him:
"Outside."
As he spoke, he tossed the operating manual and frequency band password information to Danitz, then turned and went back to his bedroom to sleep.
He's always out and about, busy with these things... Danitz felt he understood something.
After much study and experimentation, he finally mastered how to use the radio receiver and lay down comfortably in his armchair to fall into a deep sleep.
He didn't know how long he had slept when he suddenly woke up and heard a rhythmic tapping sound.
"What?" Danitz sat up abruptly and looked toward the source of the sound.
He saw, in the deep Moonlight, in the dimly lit room, the radio receiver running on its own, spitting out illusory white paper.
... What is this? Danitz conjured flames in his palm and cautiously approached it.
This scene reminded him of the terrifying stories pirates often told when they were boasting!
Is this radio receiver malfunctioning, connected to an Evil Spirit? Danitz decides to immediately call Gehrman Sparrow in the bedroom if anything goes wrong.
He approached the radio receiver and saw several lines of Ancient Feysac on the illusory white paper:
"Hello.
"I sensed a familiar, unique aura, but it's about to dissipate."
"Hello," Danitz tried to respond, "Who are you?"
The radio receiver started clicking again, spitting out white paper:
My name is Arrodes.
In exchange, you must answer one question for me.
