Chapter 122: Unreasonable Details (Monday Recommendation Ticket Monthly Pass)
"This, which one is Grossell?" Leonard looked blankly ahead.
There was a huge campfire, surrounded by a dozen gray-blue skinned upright cyclops who looked the same to him.
Frankly, I wouldn't have recognized it without the Faceling's abilities...... For me, if there were no differences in age, hairstyle, height, scars, clothing, or maturity, giants would all look the same...... Klein muttered a few words in his heart, and looked sideways at Miss "Justice" very calmly, as if to say that you are a "spectator", which should not be difficult for you.
Audrey raised her hand and pointed to a giant who was grunting and drinking, and from time to time opened her throat and roared twice in praise:
"That's Grossell.
It seems that in the custom of the giants, the expression of affirmation and appreciation is not applause, but a shout, and the louder the roar, the higher the degree of praise. β
Miss "Justice" now behaves like a folklorist...... Fortunately, it's just a roar, not a song, otherwise the noise will be worse, obviously, the giants here are not good at music, and the roar just now has no sense of rhythm...... Klein bowed his head lightly and said to "Justice" Audrey:
"Let's start booting. β
When Audrey stepped forward, Leonard stepped back, raised his right hand, rubbed his chin and said:
"You say, in the Second Age, which otherworldly race widely possessed the extraordinary properties of the 'night' pathway. β
"Isn't it a demon wolf?" Klein glanced at Leonard, wondering if the poet's classmate had contracted the traditional disease of the "Night Watcher" - a bad memory.
"I know. Leonard kept his posture unchanged and said with a slightly strange expression, "So how do they play the role of 'Midnight Poets'? Or maybe the name of the potion was 'Midnight Roarer' at that time?"
"At first, there was no potion name......" Crane was accidentally led by Leonard to think of his mind, and the scene of this guy squatting on the ground and howling at the moon suddenly came to mind, and he couldn't help but whisper, "This may be more suitable for you, no need to write poetry, it's very simple." β
The corners of Leonard's mouth twitched:
"There are also different types of poets, and I am the chanting type. β
While the two were chatting, Audrey's guidance gradually advanced, and Grossell's dreams successively showed the "Decayed Forest", "Barren Tunnel", "Corner of the Giant's Court", Dawn Town, Golden Country and other places.
Since Grossel was not the attendant of the "gods" such as the Giant King, he had to occasionally see these high-ranking beings when he was on duty in the "Decayed Forest" or some palaces and passages of the royal court, and he did not dare to look directly, and had to kneel down on one knee and bow his head to greet him, so the images of the Giant King Ormill, the Giant Queen Eumibela, and the eldest son of the Giant King, the "God of Dawn", Badhair, were not intuitively presented in the dream, but only existed in the form of portraits.
Similarly, Grossell's knowledge of the secrets is very little, and his knowledge of history and the world situation is completely inferior to that of the "Elven Singer" Shatath, but an interesting point is that in the "Court of the Giants" and the Giants, the synonym for "betrayer" is Sunia Soleem, who claims that it was the old god who turned their backs on the alliance and caused the fall of Lilith, the ancestor of the Bloodline.
Klein was skeptical, as the irascible Sunia Solim was clearly not good at this kind of thing.
The "Queen of the Scourge" seems to have that ability, but the problem is that what she wants to plan is very difficult to hide from his spouse, the true ancient god, Sunia Soleem...... In comparison, it is more plausible that Ormir, the Giant King, is a traitor...... After a cursory analysis, Audrey shifted her direction and tried to get Grossell to show what she had seen outside of the "Court of the Giants".
It's a pity that not long after the giant left the royal court and passed through Dawn Town, he arrived in the Golden Country, and he got a travelogue, and when he entered the book, he didn't know much about the customs and people of the corresponding region.
"At present, the most valuable piece of information is how to avoid the front and enter the interior from the 'Decayed Forest' and the 'Barren Tunnel' after going deep into the area where the 'Giant King's Court is located. Audrey finished the guidance and walked back to Klein and Leonard, "It's very useful for the little 'suns' for their next exploration." β
Well, that can be told to him at the next meeting. Crane nodded.
He was about to propose to enter the collective subconscious sea of the world in the book through Grossell's dreams, when Audrey suddenly looked back and said as if thinking:
"There was one detail that wasn't too reasonable. β
"What details?" Leonard thought back to what he had just seen and heard, and found nothing suspicious.
"Justice" Audrey glanced at the "world" and said:
"In the case of the 'Forest of Decay' where the father and mother of the giant king Ormir are buried, it is very unreasonable for the old god to enter. β
Klein didn't notice anything wrong with this detail, but after being mentioned by Miss "Justice", he suddenly had some thoughts, and said thoughtfully:
"The father and mother of the Giant King are equivalent to the ancestors of the Giant Clan, and normally speaking, they should be the objects of sacrifice and worship of the whole clan......"
"Yes, all races have a certain level of ancestor worship, and the giants are no exception, and as can be seen from Grossell's dreams, these caretakers often sacrifice to those two ancestors outside the 'decayed forest'. Audrey nodded in agreement, "If there are no other factors, the Giant King should occasionally organize the key cultivation objects in the clan to worship the ancestors, instead of stipulating that they can only enter by themselves." β
"Perhaps there is a great danger hidden in the 'decayed forest', and aren't the oldest giants crazy, tyrannical, and irrational? Leonard gave his guess.
Audrey and Klein shook their heads at the same time, denying the claim.
"If it's just danger or pollution, the Giant Queen Ummy Bella, the 'God of Dawn' Badhair, can obviously be effectively resisted, and with the help of the Giant King, there will be almost no problems, but they are still not allowed to enter the 'Decayed Forest', even if they follow the old god. Klein briefly stated his opinions and speculations, "Maybe it's not just the parents of the giant king Ormir buried there, but there are other secrets. β
"This one could be big. Audrey nodded earnestly.
On her silver-white mask-covered face, her green eyes rolled slightly, revealing some curiosity.
"If that's the case, what would be a secret that wouldn't be known to wives, children, gods, or people?" Kind of interesting......" Leonard smiled, letting his thoughts drift away.
After discussing for a while, the three of them hurried through the "barren tunnel" to the inside of the "Giant Court", trying to enter the palaces that froze the twilight of dusk.
In Klein's experience, this is actually the path to the edge of Grossell's dream.
This time, without him having to falsely turn on the "wriggling hunger" and use the power of the "living corpse" to open the heavy door of the giant's guarded residence, "Justice" Audrey directly affected the dream, making the gate more than ten meters high open on its own like papier-mΓ’chΓ© - due to the rejection of the "No Dark Cross", Crane actually did not wear the human skin glove.
Outside the door is a gray world, and the front is no longer the "Giant Palace", but a cliff.
After a little exchange of various situations that may be encountered when entering the collective subconscious ocean, and with the corresponding plan in place, Audrey made a staircase appear on the edge of the cliff.
The staircase spirals and twists, penetrating deep into the secluded, gray, and silent spiritual world, where there is no bottom in sight.
Without delay, the three of them stepped on the stairs and descended step by step.
In this lonely and quiet environment, which makes people want to go crazy, "Just" Audrey will use "pacification" several times every time she travels a certain distance.
This was not only to appease Crane, Leonard, and herself, but also to appease the gray-white cliff - Grossell's subconscious, so that the other party would not be agitated and pollute the three of them's astral spirits or minds.
The palms of the countless rotten giants that Klein "encountered" last time did not appear again, and even the most unbearable feelings of loneliness, silence, no end, and no end in this mental world were not so terrifying because they were team actions and could talk to each other.
"This is the world of the mind, the realm of consciousness, and it is indeed different from others. Leonard looked left and right, as if he wanted to express his feelings in a few lines of poetry, but in the end he chose to give up.
Switching to other tasks, Crane might have kept his fellow poets quiet, but here, he felt that it would be good for them to say anything.
"Justice" Audrey also did not reject communication, and said very seriously:
"The intuitive feeling we get is the essence of this environment, and the cliffs, cliffs, and gray world we see belong to a kind of reflection of our subconscious here, and it may not be the same ......if we change it to another race."
β...... I'm just thinking about psychology now. After listening to this, Leonard said with great interest.
Klein glanced at him, and couldn't help but say that with your personality and habits, it is really not suitable for the "audience" approach.
In this kind of exchange, the three of them did not know how long they had been descending, and finally stepped on the solid but vague gray ground.
Looking up from here, you can see a series of cruising and swaying lights and shadows, which are dense and overlapping, forming an illusory sea.
Klein, Leonard, and Audrey were about to walk forward when a "current" rushed by, and a blurred light and shadow stood up from it.
It was a gray-blue giant six or seven meters tall, with leather with dragon scales wrapped around its chest and abdomen, and its exposed place was covered with all kinds of patterns, symbols, and logos that could not be described in words beyond the scope of normal senses.
His one-eyed, bloodshot one-eyed unabashedly exuded a furious aura with a clear tendency to destroy, and a bloody human leg in his mouth.
This is a demigod-level giant!
He is a remnant of the sea of the collective subconscious, perhaps from an actual encounter with a human or other ancestor, or from the sights and experiences of giants such as Grossell.
As soon as he appeared, that crazy mood spread to Klein and the others, like a contagious plague.
This is a world where spirit, consciousness, and heart are in direct contact!
