Mixed with those translucent spirit creatures, Bai Ye and the three of them slowly walked along the winding path towards the top of the mountain.

Along the way, Bai Ye relayed the content he had just thought of to the Izawa brothers and sisters.

"It turns out that the other two races guarding the statue of Lalaye are these gnomes and ghouls!"

Valred grimaced.

"Some of the family's books only record the existence of the three Lalaye stone statues in the world, and there is never any mention of these inhuman races who are the guardians of the stone statues."

"As soon as you talk about those books, I'm angry."

Lily next to her pursed her lips when she heard this, and interjected in a complaining tone: "Since I was a child, my father did not allow me to read those books that were locked in the attic, and then you treated me like this, so that I now listen to what you say in a daze, and I don't understand anything." ”

"My dear sister, it's better not to know some things than to know." Valred's favorite sister madman reassured, "At least you don't have to put a burden on your shoulders so early. ”

"I've always felt like I've been excluded from your small collective."

Lily still looked a little angry, but her tone had weakened a little.

"Good sister, I promise that I will never hide anything from you again."

Valred swears with a hippie smile.

While speaking, the three of them had already come to the halfway point of the mountain.

Looking up from this vantage point, you can already see part of the mountaintop.

There seems to be a semi-circular platform protruding from it, and the appearance of the platform looks like it has been artificially built, and a large tree with lush branches can be faintly seen on the platform.

The spirits that passed by them, or who passed through their bodies, began to make a small whispering sound, as if they were whispering some kind of prayer, and they seemed to be heading to the summit platform for the purpose of making a pilgrimage.

……

The winding path leading to the top of the mountain has become a little wider, and there are more ghouls and skinned gnome spirits gathering in the area, and it is a gathering of monsters as far as the eye can see.

Because the spirit body has the ability to penetrate, it will not stop the three of them from advancing.

After a few moments of walking through the spirits, they reached the edge of the circular platform at the top of the mountain.

In the center of the platform was the big tree, its branches spreading out in all directions, like a stout python.

The main body of the tree is covered with twisted and coiled rattans, and the wood is so deep that you can faintly see the shape of a face on it.

Around the tree stood seven or eight human spirits, all of whom were supposed to have retained their pre-death appearances, some young, some old.

"That's ...... Father?! ”

Lily suddenly stopped, pointed at an elderly human spirit on the right side of the tree, and subconsciously covered her mouth with her other hand, her eyes flashing with a complex look of surprise and nostalgia.

"How so?"

"Not only my father, but I also saw our grandfather, look, he is standing by my father's side."

Valred was much less surprised than his sister when he saw this, and his previous speculation about the dream world had already prepared him to a certain extent.

The grandfather of the Izawa siblings had a long gray beard, wore an elaborately decorated robe, and looked kind-eyed, and raised his hand twice to greet his grandchildren when they saw them.

"This is neat, it means that your family, as one of the guardians of the stone statue, will also enter this place after death."

This dream world is the realm of the Guardian's revenant, and ghouls, deep divers, and members of the Izawa family have all appeared in this realm one after another.

"Hmmm......"

At this time, the ancient tree in the center of the circular platform suddenly let out a heavy sigh.

The old man's face, made of complex tree patterns, squirmed twice, and the part representing the mouth opened and closed noticeably.

"You're here."

The ancient tree spoke slowly in its thick voice, "I've been waiting for you for a long time. ”

The tree-patterned human face continued to wriggle, and the surface of the ancient tree began to gradually highlight the silhouette of a humanoid.

"What is this place? Who are you? ”

Valred wondered about the place where the souls of the Izer family belonged, and he began to wonder if the man embedded in the ancient tree could be the ancestor of his family.

"This is the Dream Realm, and I'm the caretaker of the seal, Nordens."

……

Bai Ye still remembered that the first time he heard the name Nordens was when he was at a dinner party at Ize's house.

At that time, Valred Ize was still in a state of being robbed of his body by the witch Athanas, and the Dagon Secret Order Sect set up a bureau in the Izawa Mansion to seize the two bottles of 'Lalaye Sculpture' in Bai Ye's hands.

In Athanas's rhetoric, Nordens is described as an antithetical figure, an evil old god.

From her standpoint, there is nothing wrong with that. However, after going through so much in the middle, Bai Ye felt that the situation might be the opposite of the witch's rhetoric.

"You're here because of the activation of the three Dream Crystals I left behind in the real world."

Nordens continued to speak in an old, heavy voice: "Two hundred years ago, they were set by me on the lid of the sarcophagus that sealed the statue. ”

Bai Ye thought of the three brilliant gems that were square in shape and would emit a sky blue light.

It turns out that gems are the key to this special world.

The reason why Nordens stored these gems and sculptures together is probably because he thought that someone would surely discover the secret of the three-bottle sculpture one day.

If they happen to have collected these three gems as well, and it would be hard not to notice such a gorgeous and sparkling gem, then it is possible that the person holding the sculpture will be transported to this fantasy realm.

"I can feel that you don't have those sculptures on you."

Nordens didn't introduce himself more, his cloudy gaze resting on the three people in front of him, his voice sounding flat, but there was eagerness in his eyes.

"Have they fallen into the hands of the believers?"

Listening to the meaning of this, the origin of the Great Gon Secret Order Sect was obviously earlier than Bai Ye and they imagined, all of which could be traced back to two hundred years ago, perhaps earlier.

Facing the question of the old man in the tree, Bai Ye and Valred looked at each other, and they both saw a trace of pressure in each other's eyes.

They could only tell Nordens what was going on outside.

"Alas......"

Nordens only let out a long sigh, but didn't question the three who had messed everything up.

"It's come to this, then we can only take measures to make up for it as soon as possible, get close to me, and I will send you out of this world."

"Wait, before you get us out of here, could you please tell us everything about the 'Laleier Sculpture'?"

Bai Ye stepped forward at the right time and asked before Nordens could use a certain ability.

I believe that there is no person in this world who knows more about the past history than Nordens, who made the seal sculpture with his own hands.
