In a secret room, a man and a woman were breathing heavily.

The man in it had deep facial features, but he was blind in one eye, it was Ince Zangwill, who was just about to touch the peak, when out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the quill on the table that had broken away from the "seal" and was writing on the open diary.

Ince was immediately startled, and no longer had the heart to experience "joy", so he pushed away his female companion and jumped to the table, holding the quill pen.

The bright and lazy woman on the bed snorted dissatisfiedly, then got dressed, got out of bed unhurriedly and came to Ince's side, and said coquettishly: "I didn't even take care of that 'Apostle of Desire' in order to be able to accompany you, and you did this to me?" ”

Didn't you take care of the "Apostle of Desire" because of "arrogance"? When I don't know?

Although she thought so in her heart, Ince Zangwill did not argue with her, but said with a solemn expression: "Something happened! ”

"What accident?" The woman, also known as the "Nightingale of Despair" Panatia, glanced at the notebook in confusion, and saw several new lines of handwriting appearing on it:

“…… Talim, who was asleep, suddenly woke up, and he seemed to see something, and he seemed very surprised.

Seemingly bewildered by something, Talim was dragged away from his home in Jowood and walked toward Riverbank South Street on the banks of the Tasok River.

"Talim entered the vacant house at No. 23......"

The quill was only written here, and then it was held in Ince's hand, and the above sentence was crossed out, and the following paragraph was written:

The target decided to kill Talim immediately with a curse. She had considered this when she was collecting the other party's blood, so it made sense. ”

"Talim? That of Prince Edsak's men? He shouldn't know anything......" Panatia said after a moment's thought.

"It's true that he doesn't know anything, but that doesn't stop people from surmising something from him! Especially since that person can block the induction of '0-08'......" Ince shook his head and continued, "You'd better plan ahead of time before anything happens. ”

"It's not ready, and it's going to take at least ten days...... no matter how fast it is," Panatia said, already putting on her accessories and shoes.

"You're going to Riverbank South Street?" Ince frowned slightly, "Be careful is a trap. ”

"Are you worried about me?" Panatia had an intoxicating smile on her face, but her eyes quickly met Ince's cold eyes, and she couldn't help but "smack" lightly, and whispered, "Uninteresting man! ”

With that, she walked to the door, and before going out, she turned back and said, "I was about to pretend to be the Apostle of Desire to distract the 'Singer of God'...... You do me a favor and get a couple of 'substitutes' to spot the anomaly in that house on Riverside Street, and I'd like to do a brief investigation of the house as 'Jason Belite' while killing them......

"In this way, the man behind the vain attempt to take Talim away may be able to bear the wrath of the 'Singer of the Gods' in my place."

Ince Zangwill thought for a moment before nodding his head, "Good!" ”

"Then when I come back, I'll let you enjoy today's unfinished 'pleasure'." After Panatia tossed a flying kiss ambiguously, her figure gradually disappeared into thin air as if it had been erased by an eraser.

……

Byam, in the basement of the Aromatic Manor.

Abner saw that the doll he had placed on Talim's body suddenly appeared in countless cracks, and tiny black flames also rose from the cracks.

Sure enough, the mere distance can't block the "curse" of this level...... Fortunately, there is a "bound god...... No, it was the "Spirit Angels" who helped carry the curse.

As Abner pondered, the flames in those cracks converged little by little, forming black strings that bound the doll heavily.

After a while, those invisible flames slowly solidified, as if they had really become the ropes that bound the dolls, and there were no other miracles.

Looking at Talim, who had been "hypnotized" by himself and knew nothing about his own crisis, Abner, who had turned back into his own form, pulled him into the "ring of fire" that suddenly appeared on the teleportation altar again.

- Speaking of which, the reason why Abner did not directly teleport to the "Golden Dream", but instead transferred through the Aromatic Manor, was to change back to his original appearance and change his clothes by the way.

After all, it doesn't matter if Hugh shows her Tracy version of her "women's clothes", but there is no need to continue to spread......

……

When Talim came to his senses again, a beautiful lady with light blue eyes appeared in front of him.

I remember the last time I woke up and saw a very beautiful woman, but it was not this one......

Is this a dream? But why is it so real?

Is it like Sherlock usually jokes...... Isn't this my way of sobering?

Before Talim, who was confused, could think clearly, he heard the lady in front of him ask in a calm voice, "Which university and which major did you graduate from?" ”

"Beckland University, economics major......" Talim replied subconsciously.

"What other language are you proficient in besides Rune?"

"Gufsak and Intis ......"

"How much do you know about history?"

"How much have you read the History of the Kingdom of Rune......"

After a few rounds of questions and answers, Talim finally couldn't hold back anymore and interrupted, "Ma'am, where is this?" Why am I here? ”

"This is the ...... of the Golden Dream," the lady who asked the question was naturally Adevina, who thought for a moment and explained unhurriedly, "A friend of mine introduced you to me and asked me to keep you as a crew member for a while, and I agreed.

"I have to combine what you have to know to decide what you do on the ship and what courses you need to make...... That's why I'm asking you for some basic information. ”

"The Golden Dream?! You...... Are you a 'lieutenant general of the iceberg'? Talim looked at the beautiful lady in front of him dumbfounded, and said in disbelief, "Don't make such jokes...... Lady! I'm still in Beckland! ”

Adevina did not speak, but watched him quietly for a few seconds, then called Daniz and commanded:

"Let him see the reality."

"Yes, Captain!"

Daniz replied, and looked suspiciously at Talim, who was only in his pajamas, and wondered why he was in the captain's room at this time.

……

After Daniz took Talim to "recognize reality", Abner showed up and said to Advina with a smile: "I hope Talim can adapt as soon as possible." ”

The so-called "recognizing reality" is a rule set by the "Vice Admiral of the Iceberg" for the new crew members of the ship, and it generally starts with various "labor".

This method is somewhat similar to modern recruit training, and the purpose is to develop the habit of obeying orders.

Adevina didn't continue the conversation, she picked up a book bound from parchment with a dark brown cover and asked, "Remember the last time we met, I said I invited you to an expedition?" ”

Abner glanced at the name of the book, his eyelids jumped, and he asked thoughtfully, "The expedition you are talking about...... Does it mean to enter the book? ”

Adevina gave an "um" and replied:

"Right...... There is a 'world' in this book, and its previous holders may have strayed into it and never come out again...... Therefore, it is an ancient book from 3,000 years ago, but there are characters from various eras from ancient times to the present in the pages......

"And I know how to get into it safely...... This is thanks to a 'prophecy' given to me by Teacher Isabella......"

"What kind of prophecy?" Abner asked curiously.

"'The seal of calamity gave the keys of the king of the north to the families of the soldiers'.

This is the revelation that the teacher received.

"The seal of the Calamity is probably the most favorite seal of Russell the Great mentioned by Leon the Lion......

"And 'soldier' I think should refer to the Rune soldier who ended up in the book......

"It's a pity that I searched for more than a month, but I still couldn't find any clues about his family......"
