Klein glanced at the silent Cattleya and suddenly felt a little awkward.
He didn't speak again, turned around, jumped off the boulder, and walked into the Black Monastery through the half-open door.
In the plaza surrounded by dim towers and buildings, several embers of the battle still lingered, and huge arrows were stuck in the ground, their tails swaying gently in the wind.
Frank Lee was still digging holes and planting something, but instead of food, there was a pile of rotten flesh and blood at his feet.
"What kind of experiments do you plan to do with them?" Klein couldn't help but ask as he passed by.
Frank laughed excitedly:
"So many!
"For example, just one cow is enough to feed the entire ship, and each time a portion is cut off, it can regrow completely!"
Why is it always cows? Klein couldn't find the words to respond and could only silently draw a Crimson Moon in his mind.
Passing by Captain Ottolov sitting on the floor reading a book, Nina who seemed to be drunk and about to take off her clothes, and Heath Doyle quietly hiding in the shadows, Klein walked into the hall whose surface was covered with various murals.
Anderson Hood materialized a comfortable armchair at some point and was leisurely reclining on it, admiring the highly religious and sacred paintings on the dome.
"Phew, finally we're leaving this damned sea! Just two or three more shifts between noon and night!" Seeing Gehrman Sparrow enter, the " Strongest Hunter " sighed sincerely. "As long as we can leave here safely, I won't have to worry about any remaining problems."
Klein initially wanted to shut the other person up, but since it seemed he was only targeting him and not others, he decided to ignore it and casually asked:
"Are you Intis?"
"Barely," Anderson replied, his father Intis and his mother Segar.
Klein took a few steps forward and said:
"So, do you believe in the ' Eternal Blazing Sun,' the ' God of Steam and Machinery,' or the ' God of Knowledge and Wisdom '?"
Anderson's expression suddenly became somewhat strange:
"I originally worshipped the ' God of Knowledge and Wisdom,' but their priest was awful. Just because I failed an exam, he ignored my ordinary, handsome face and looked at me like I was an idiot. Bah! I'm just a bit unbalanced in my studies; my IQ is anything but low! I've always excelled in art knowledge and drawing fundamentals! Hehe, before becoming Hunter, my dream was to be a painter."
"Of course, once you come to sea, you'll more or less come to believe in the ' Lord of Storms ' to some extent."
Upon hearing Anderson's description, a joke suddenly popped into Klein's mind: The priest of the " God of Knowledge and Wisdom " might say something like, "Failed the exam? This kid's hopeless, bury him."
He was about to steer the conversation toward Anderson's Hunter career, since Anderson was the only person in the dream world, besides the " Mystery Queen," with whom he could have a normal conversation, when he suddenly heard the bang of a door Door Opening.
From deep within the mural hall came the Door Opening of a door opening with a clang!
Anderson just said that as long as they could get out of here smoothly... Klein inexplicably felt a toothache and stared intently at the location of the sound source.
He then saw a man in a linen robe rush out from the depths of the mural hall at great speed, heading straight for him.
The man had jet-black, shiny hair, but his face was covered in wrinkles, suggesting he had endured much hardship.
" The Saint of Darkness " Leomaster! The benevolent Leomaster! Klein recognized him and then noticed a tall figure emerging from the depths of the mural hall.
The figure was dressed in heavy, dark black full-body armor, with two deep red lights shining from its eye sockets.
He wielded a massive straight sword and frantically chased after Leomaster ahead.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
His metal-like boots struck the ground repeatedly, making a crisp, rapid sound.
The real Leomaster! The main personality of the " Saint of Darkness "! Klein saw the two figures getting closer and closer, and instinctively turned his body to the side and quickly retreated.
He immediately stuck to the wall of the mural hall, then noticed that Anderson Hood had somehow jumped up from his armchair and stuck to the mural on the other side.
Noticing Gehrman Sparrow's gaze, Anderson grinned and returned a smile that said, "So you're just like me."
Who's like you? I'm not being a coward. If you weren't here, I would have already taken out the " Sea God Scepter " and fought the " Saint of Darkness " for eight hundred rounds! I've been thinking about whether there would be any corresponding changes in the real world if I helped the benevolent Leomaster kill the main personality in the dream...
Yes, the people on the " Future " are outside. If Leomaster's main personality really goes crazy, the " Mystery Queen " will definitely make a move...
These two guys leaving their dreams and coming here shouldn't be a coincidence... Are they already very close in the real world? Or has someone guided the benevolent Leomaster here, the " Mystery Queen "? Many thoughts flashed through Klein's mind in an instant.
Leomaster, dressed in a linen robe, saw two people ahead and was about to call for help, but in the blink of an eye, he found that the two people had each darted to the side of the hall, looking as if they hadn't seen anything and didn't want to care about anything.
"..." He ran as fast as he could and rushed out of the mural hall.
Leomaster, dressed as a black-armored knight, his eyes burning even brighter with crimson, chased after them, completely ignoring Klein and Anderson, who were depicted on the murals on either side.
Once they left the hall, Klein had some suspicions in his mind, didn't hesitate to take off and follow behind as fast as a cheetah.
"..." Anderson raised his right hand and made a two-pointed grabbing motion, but failed to stop Gehrman Sparrow in time.
"This guy was pretty rational just now, how did he suddenly go crazy again? What did he discover? I'm really curious..." Anderson peeked out at the square, hesitated for a few seconds, and finally decided to follow.
Following the trail out of the Black Monastery and into the area where the " Admiral of Stars " was located, Klein saw Leomaster, dressed in a linen robe, circling the boulder to avoid the main personality. Seizing every opportunity, he looked towards the projection of the " Giant King's Court " on the opposite mountain peak and whispered a prayer in Ancient Hermes:
O Lord Who Created Everything;
"You are Omnipotent and Omniscient..."
After circling around once more, the benevolent Leomaster continued reciting:
"You are the source of all greatness, you are the beginning and the end;"
"You are the God of Gods, you are the ruler of the vast Astral World!"
As this revered name ended, the sea of clouds separating the two mountain peaks suddenly trembled, slowly parting to the left and right, revealing a deep, bottomless crevice.
The projection of the " Giant King's Court " opposite suddenly drew in the frozen Twilight from the far distance!
But nothing happened afterwards.
Klein roughly understood, and turned his head to look up at the building near the gate of the Black Monastery. Behind a clean and bright floor-to-ceiling window, the beautiful but unapproachable " Mystery Queen " Bernadette was quietly watching everything that was happening below.
As expected, it was she who led the kind-hearted Leomaster out of his own dream and here... Since the Aurora Order's " Listener " could bring Little Jack into the " Forsaken Land of the Gods," there's no reason why the " Saint of Darkness " couldn't! When there was no way forward and the projection of the " Giant King's Court " was seen, the personality that Leomaster split off from would definitely want to escape in, so it demonstrated to the observer in the shadows how to enter the " Forsaken Land of the Gods "... Klein withdrew his gaze with considerable certainty.
As for why Leomaster's attempt to win him over was unsuccessful, his assessment was:
Wrong location!
Must one venture deep into this sea, find a specific location shrouded in danger and strangeness, and then, in the dream brought by the Evernight, chant the name of the Creator of City of Silver to open the hidden passage of the " Giant King's Court " projection? Then, using the entry in the dream, propel the body and ship through the mist where reality and illusion intertwine, to reach the shore of the " Forsaken Land of the Gods "? Klein pondered with some speculation.
For him, how to enter the " Forsaken Land of the Gods " was not a major concern. As long as he was willing, once he advanced to Sequence 4 and truly possessed a certain level of divinity, he could have the little " The Sun " arrange a descent or bestowal ceremony to go directly there!
However, if we can use this to deduce how to leave the " Forsaken Land of the Gods," it would certainly be a great gain, and its value to City of Silver would be immeasurable!
Judging from this, the key to leaving the " Forsaken Land of the Gods " really lies within the " Giant King's Court," but what exactly it is remains a mystery... As Klein's thoughts raced, pea vines rapidly sprouted from the mud around him, instantly transforming the area outside the Black Monastery into a green forest and forcibly separating the " Saint of Darkness's" main personality from his benevolent personality.
Then, through the gaps in the pea vines, Klein saw that " Admiral of Stars " Cattleya on the boulder had stood up and was no longer sitting with her knees drawn up to her chest.
Zzz!
Derrick rolled over, then leaped up, and chopped his axe into the leg of the Giant covered in short black hair. The sparked silver lightning fell out of nowhere, striking the Monster with its unique single eye and causing it to tremble and freeze in place.
Derrick didn't miss the opportunity and immediately spread his arms out.
A bright and pure holy light descended and enveloped the mutated Giant.
In this bright light, the Monster screamed and fell, puffs of black mist rising from its body.
After a series of battles, Derrick discovered that the Monster that had infiltrated from the strange Afternoon Town, regardless of their individual characteristics, were all equally afraid of bright light.
This experience saved him from injury and also saved the lives of many other members of the exploration team.
After a while, when " Demon Hunter " Colin had dealt with the strongest Monster, the Afternoon Town, and all the candles that had been lit had been extinguished.
The Council of Six's "chief" looked around and sighed:
"Rest first, then establish camp."
At this moment, the assembled exploration team has been reduced to nearly a third of its original size, with as many as six members remaining!
Colin Iliad's true goal was the " Giant King's Court," but his experience in Afternoon Town made him realize that exploration could not be rushed, because the " Giant King's Court " might hold deep secrets of a great catastrophe and unimaginable dangers. Therefore, he needed six months, a year, or even two years of preparation and repeated preliminary explorations before he could attempt to open it.
