Audrey briefly mentioned the old song, but didn't repeat the specifics, fearing that the seemingly knowledgeable " The Hermit " lady would guess the exact region.

She simply recounted how she was Spirit Intuition by this and, through " Psychological Suggestion," remained conscious in her dream, embarking on a truly fantastical journey.

Psychological Suggestion? She knows how to use Psychological Suggestion? She must be a Sequence 7 " Psychiatrist "... The Hermit Cattleya, habitually made a judgment, but immediately had a deeper doubt:

"Then why would she still buy the ' Psychiatrist's' Beyonder Characteristic?"

"Repeated consumption offers limited improvement, is prone to going out of control, and can hinder the digestion of Potion..."

"To create magical items? But that overlaps with her own extraordinary abilities and has no practical value."

"To give as a gift?"

As Cattleya speculated, Audrey had already recounted how she had come to the edge of her own consciousness through chaotic dreams, and then, following the "manifestation method" she had learned from Mr. " The Fool," created a series of descending steps, gradually delving into the underwater, iceberg-like realm of her own subconscious.

She didn't describe in detail the various subconscious flashes she saw because they involved secrets she was unwilling or ashamed to tell others.

She focused on the feeling of loneliness, the long, aimless existence, and the extreme oppression of being surrounded by a gray atmosphere that seemed to harbor various Monster. She mentioned that she was on the verge of emotional collapse several times, and only managed to hold on thanks to her extraordinary abilities, eventually reaching the illusory ocean formed by the collective subconscious of all living beings.

The memories imprinted by human ancestors, the reflections and spread of various consciousnesses of the surrounding creatures, were presented in Audrey's words in a very orderly and unhurried manner, and then the image settled on the Dragon with gray rock-like scales that flew across the Sea of Collective Subconscious.

Dragon living in the Sea of Collective Subconscious? What a magical and magnificent journey! Although Miss Justice didn't encounter any enemies or dangers, it still gave me a psychedelic feeling... Suddenly, a Magician title flashed through Fors's mind:

Miss Justice's Dream Travelogue

At the end of the story, " Justice " Audrey looked around and said:

"Ladies and gentlemen, what suggestions do you have? Do you believe that the Dragon's ' City of Miracles,' Liveseyd, is also hidden in this Sea of Collective Subconscious?"

"If I want to continue exploring, what should I be aware of? What preparations do I need to make in advance?"

" The Hanged Man " Alger glanced at " The Hermit," pondered for a moment, and said:

I don't think you should continue exploring.

This is a very dangerous act.

"According to records, most Dragon are flesh-and-blood creatures, including Mind Dragon. The fact that they can survive and roam the so-called Sea of Collective Subconscious of all living beings indicates that the Dragon you saw possessed a sufficiently high Sequence, perhaps even reaching the level of Demigod."

"Don't think about this before you Sequence 5."

" The Hermit " Cattleya nodded and said:

"In the Sea of Collective Subconscious, there are many dangerous things: the evil thoughts accumulated by mankind, the various desires that can erode the Spirit Body, and the terrifying memories from ancient times are like Storm and waves on the real ocean, which can bring you severe psychological trauma and even make you never wake up again."

"Moreover, it is the Sea of Collective Subconscious of all living beings, not just humans. Perhaps the consciousness of some Evil Spirit, some evil gods, or some terrifying beings also lurks there, like a huge whirlpool that can devour ships."

"Do not rush into in-depth exploration until you have truly acquired the extraordinary ability to navigate the Sea of Collective Subconscious."

Audrey, full of expectation for " Justice," was disappointed, but had to admit that what Mr. " The Hanged Man " and Ms. " The Hermit " said made a lot of sense and was very sincere.

She took a silent breath and said to herself:

" Audrey, don't be impulsive! Wait until you have Sequence 5 before trying!"

She didn't consider at all how difficult it was to become Sequence 5, a level where one could even compete for a spot among the Seven Admirals at sea, or even turn seven into eight.

In Audrey's view, with Mr. The Fool and the Tarot Club around, as long as she is cautious, calm, and doesn't take reckless risks, she should be able to reach this level within one or two years.

Only the gate of the Demigod and demigods is truly difficult to open!

" The Hermit " knows a lot, she's very knowledgeable... " Justice " Audrey, clinging to her last glimmer of hope, looked at Mr. " The Fool " at the head of the bronze table, hoping this god-like being could offer advice different from that of Mr. " The Hanged Man " and " The Hermit ".

Don't look at me... I don't understand! Klein tried his best to keep his eyes from flickering.

His understanding of conscious mind, subconscious mind, and collective unconscious mind was still limited to the theory described by the " Spirit Medium " Daly, without any further knowledge. Usually, when his dreams were invaded, after regaining consciousness, he never thought of exploring the world outside the dream, so how could he give "Miss Justice " any advice?

Actually, he had a natural idea about this, but it was unverified and he didn't know if it would be effective.

In the past, if he wasn't sure, he could at least offer a few vague, indirect suggestions. But now, with " Admiral of Stars " Cattleya watching from the side, saying too much would lead to mistakes, saying less would prevent mistakes, and saying nothing would be the best course of action.

What a stressful new member... " The Fool " Klein sighed inwardly, remaining silent and keeping a faint smile in his eyes.

If he weren't above the Gray Fog, and not existing in spirit form, he suspected that such a difficult acting performance would cause the muscles around his eyes to spasm.

Mr. The Fool offered no advice... Audrey looked away, slightly frustrated, no longer fantasizing about exploring the Sea of Collective Subconscious as soon as possible.

At this moment, the Moon Emlyn, who had been impatiently waiting, cleared his throat and said:

"I have carefully studied the history passed down through our Sanguine..."

Sanguine... indeed a Vampire... raising Vampire and recruiting Vampire into the church is truly a tradition of the Church of the Earth Mother... " The Hermit " Cattleya nodded, seemingly listening attentively.

At the same time, she felt that one of her perceptions might need adjustment:

"' The Moon ' bluntly reveals his identity... Does this mean that Mr. ' The Fool ' also has a strong deterrent effect on the outside world, so the members are not afraid of leaking information?"

"I don't see any need for me to completely hide my situation..."

Emlyn paused, turned his head to look at the " The Sun," and raised his chin, saying:

Before the Cataclysm, there was no City of Silver, only the Nation of Silver!

If anyone else had raised such a question, " The Sun " Derrick would have rushed to explain that the people of City of Silver were descendants of the Nation of Silver and that he was not lying. But after glancing at " The Moon " and sensing his smugness, Derrick turned his head away and looked in the other direction, disdainful of explaining.

Why should this Pride and conceited Vampire who doesn't acknowledge the history of City of Silver believe me? He pondered to himself.

From his reaction, Emlyn realized that City of Silver was indeed connected to the Nation of Silver, and clicked his tongue in disapproval.

" The Nation of Silver the Original worshipped not the Giant King Ormir, but his queen Omebella."

"Omebella?" Derrick, the " The Sun," turned his head and blurted out:

"Our City of Silver has no record of this event, nor does it record that the Giant Queen was named Omebella."

Emlyn chuckled and shrugged, saying:

"So, is it alright for me to say that there are omissions and gaps in the history of your City of Silver?"

"It's clear that your record of Sanguine history contains Error."

... After going around in circles just to prove this point... Should I say you're a Vampire with clear logic, or are you just incredibly vengeful? Klein suppressed his amusement, preventing himself from scrutinizing Emlyn White.

The dispute between the " The Moon " and the " The Sun " brought him many insights, including the Giant Queen and the " Goddess of Harvest," Omebella.

Just as " The Sun " Derrick was about to refute " The Moon," he heard " The Hermit " speak up:

" Omebella was the ' Goddess of Harvest ' of the Second Age and the Queen of the Giant King's Court."

"It is rumored that she perished at the end of the Second Age, but this cannot be confirmed, as no one has seen her body or belongings."

The " Goddess of Harvest " is really named Omebella... " The Sun " Derrick was stunned. He wanted to refute it, but because this matter did indeed confirm that there were many omissions in the history of City of Silver, he could not speak and felt very frustrated.

Upon seeing this, " The Moon " Emlyn felt completely comfortable, and a sense of joy rose from the depths of his heart.

After exchanging ideas for a while, the Tarot Club came to a close, and Klein smiled slightly and said:

See you next week, everyone.

"As you wish. Justice will prevail." Audrey immediately rose and bowed.

The others weren't much slower, including " The Hermit " Cattleya.

Back to reality, " Admiral of Stars " Cattleya glanced at the broken planetarium on her desk and carefully recalled the events of the party.

Some details convinced her that Tarot Club involves a lot and is by no means simple. The " The Fool," hidden deep in the Gray Fog, is like an entity watching the world from behind a heavy veil of shadows, difficult to see clearly, difficult to fathom, and unknown in what he is plotting.

After a dozen seconds of silence, Cattleya took out a pen and paper and carefully wrote:

"Recently, someone has been deliberately collecting the Emperor's diaries."

She dared not mention the Tarot Club in her letter, nor reveal any information, for fear of being punished by Mr. The Fool. She could only offer reminders based on things that could be found in ordinary circumstances.

After writing and folding the document, she took out an exquisitely crafted harmonica that she always carried with her, made of gold, placed it to her lips, and blew a note.

In the blink of an eye, she saw the letter mysteriously disappear.

Even without her glasses, she failed to notice the messenger's arrival.

"Hoo... "Cattleya let out a soft breath, reached up to touch her forehead, and said silently:

"Attending a party under the watchful eye of a deity is incredibly stressful."

"With the addition of a ' Admiral of Stars,' I, the ' The Fool, ' am under a lot of pressure..." Klein rubbed his temples in the Gray Fog and returned directly to the real world.

He was going to test the Spirit Intuition he had gained from Miss " Justice's " exploration of dreams.
