The Seal of Calamity gave the keys of the King of the North to the families of the soldiers?

"Calamity Seal"? It's everywhere! How much of a setup did this guy leave behind...... What is the purpose?

After a few remarks, Abner also seriously pondered the meaning of this "prophecy":

"First of all, that 'soldier' should be as Edwina thought, it is the Rune soldier Ronzel who strayed into the 'Grossell's Travels' 165 years ago, and he entered the book at a time similar to the time when the 'Calamity Seal' was active, so it was easier to find, so the time-traveler gave the so-called 'Key to the King of the North' to the soldier's family?

"Secondly, the 'Calamity Seal', as a time-traveler, may have also played the idea of "Grossell's Travels...... After getting the book, it made the 'Key to the King of the North' through some means, opening a 'back door' to the world in the book? But does the 'conqueror' have the authority to 'dream'?

"Wait...... I remember Russell mentioning in his diary that he seemed to have had a dream before he got the 'Calamity Seal'...... It may actually have the ability to 'dream'......

"Also, from Hugh's experience in East Chestershire, I have judged that the 'dragon of fantasy' Angleweed has awakened in the ancient dragon Errehog...... Maybe He woke up even earlier......

"It may be the One who was awakened by the 'Seal of Calamity'...... At least also involved in the awakening......

"And "Grossell's Travels" was imagined by the Dragon King, who holds the 'authority' of that world, and it couldn't be easier to build a 'back door'...... The key to the so-called 'King of the North' must have been fabricated by him, right?

"Finally...... Adevina's mentor, that Lady Isabella, was able to receive such a 'revelation', and in my experience, she must have had a lot of relevant information to make the 'prophecy' so accurate, and there were hardly any 'clouds'.

"And Isabella and Russell are very close lovers - I've overheard a lot of this from the daily thoughts of Leon the Lion...... So, what she knew, Russell probably knew too......

"Is there a plan for them in Grossell's Travels? What is the purpose? ”

In a flash of thought, Abner remembered Alanson Edward, the captain of the passenger liner "Glory of the Ten Thousand Cities" that he and Hugh had taken on for the first time, and he was the descendant of the family of the soldier who strayed into "Grossell's Travels"—Ronzel!

Speaking of which, although that trip with Hugh was a helpless move by the teacher to arrange for the two of them to temporarily avoid the witch, they met the descendants of the Dragonzel family, the "Dream Labyrinth Tower", an ancient dragon from East Chester County...... and many other events related to "dreams......

Is this a coincidence? Or is it some kind of aggregation effect?

"The water is getting deeper!" Abner rubbed the corners of his forehead, and then, after a little hesitation, said to Edwina:

"I have some clues about the soldier's family in this book......"

Hearing this, Edwina asked with sparkling eyes, "What is it?" ”

"It is likely that the captain of the Brilliant City Ferry Alansen is a descendant of the Ronzel family.

"I've been on his boat before, and I've heard him talk about the inexplicable disappearance of one of his ancestors more than 160 years ago...... His family lived in Beckland at the time, and his missing ancestor was also a soldier. ”

Abner will say this, remembering that it was the night of the Fool's arrival, and he promised to bring Captain Aranson's phrase "You are always welcome home" to Ronzel if possible...... Although the captain most of the time didn't remember what he said after drinking too much.

"The Splendor of the Ten Thousand Cities" ...... Edwina muttered for a few seconds, her light blue eyes rolling slightly, and then continued, "I'll investigate, and I'll let you know as soon as I have the results." ”

If it weren't for the smog that could come at any moment, I'd like to go to that Captain Aranson myself...... After all, it's about the "Calamity Seal" and about the traverser......

Luckily, Edwina will invite me to join me on an adventure in Grossell's Travels, and I won't miss anything.

And Lilith warned me not to go too deep in front of the demigods into the predecessors of the "traversers...... So, it's better to go with the flow!

After talking about business, the two talked about their previous experiences, and Abner took the opportunity to inform each other about the transfer of his "Doctor Strange" vest.

However, Adevina has not been in a very good mood recently, because the crew of her "Golden Dream" has "mutinied", and she also revealed that she salvaged the huge black iron key and intercepted and killed Mr. D of the "Aurora Society".

In this regard, Abner directly invited the other party into his study space through the "Erudito Communication Technique", and exchanged several construction models of the "Secret Technique" with him, which made her divert her attention.

……

Beckland, West End, 6 Edward Street.

This is the house of the banker Patrick Jason disguised as the "Apostle of Desire".

At this moment, the main entrance of the house suddenly opened, and a group of night watchmen in black tweed coats trotted in.

Their expressions were wary and guarded, as if they were facing an extremely terrifying enemy.

Kick, kick, kick, Leonard walked in wearing a silver full-body armor.

The armor was ancient, and the area of the left shoulder diagonally to the lower abdomen was stained with a splash of dark red blood that could not be washed, like a unique and ornate decoration.

"Captain, that demon isn't here." Leonard reported after "checking" the room with the help of his armor's abilities.

"Requiem" Sost nodded, then took out his pocket watch and glanced at it:

"Substitution!

"Leonard, the bathroom in the master bedroom on the second floor has prepared hot water, don't delay the time, otherwise you will have to return to the arms of the goddess."

Leonard didn't dare to slack off, and was busy taking off his armor with the help of other colleagues, but at this moment, a night watchman ran in and reported:

"Captain Sost, Patrick was seen on South Street on Riverbank in the Jowood District...... No, it's Jason Beria, there are two 'substitutes' who have already rushed to investigate...... They want us to be nearby. ”

South Riverbank Street, though located in the Jowood District, is only across the Tasok River from the North District, where a night watchman team is stationed.

"How did the people from the Storm Church join this case?" Sost asked, confused.

"There were two detectives whose families did not want to be protected and felt that they would not be implicated, so they stayed outside...... As a result, they were found dead in their respective offices, one was too frightened to scare himself, and the other was so excited that he used up the last of his energy.

"They are all believers in the 'Lord of the Storm', and they have officially intervened in this case as a substitute for punishment."

The night watchman replied.

Leonard, who had taken off his armor halfway through, didn't feel anything at first when he heard this, but then he seemed to remember something, and seemed to say casually:

"Just got a clue when you intervened? What a 'coincidence'! ”

Coincidental? Captain Sost's brow furrowed slightly when he heard the word.

……

In a villa in St. George's district, Baron Larry looked at the letter he received and said to himself:

"Prince Edsak's butler asked me to meet tonight at the villa at 3 Kurt Street?

"I remember it wasn't far from the Cathedral of the Holy Wind......

"Could it be a trap?"

While hesitating, he took out an extraordinary item for divination, and soon got the result that was not a "trap"1.

Baron Larry breathed a sigh of relief and said in his heart: If you can meet His Royal Highness the Prince and win his trust, maybe you can get the opportunity to meet His Majesty the King...... When the time comes, we will definitely be able to wash away the grievances!!

It's a pity that my dear only came yesterday...... Otherwise, you will be able to share the good news with her!

She's such a good woman, and if I return to power, I'm going to take her from Panis!

……

On South Street on the riverbank, in the house where Abner had previously arranged the "teleportation altar", "Desperate Nightingale" Panatia put down the two "substitutes" who did not know the life and death of the "substitute punisher" in his hand, and thought to himself:

"There was no ambush...... It seems that the only target of the people behind the scenes is Talim, and even prepared a one-time teleportation ritual for this purpose...... It's a pity that they misunderstood, and the curse unleashed by the 'primordial' item is not something that can be erased by distance!

"Oh, although the use of objects shields the breath, the dead ghost of Russell once said, 'Whoever walks by, will leave a trace', and I happen to have the item that is capable of this."

Panatia, who wore the face of Jason, the "Apostle of Desire", smiled confidently, took out a mirror and looked around the Broken Altar, and soon saw an extremely vague and graceful figure.

"How could it be her?!" Panatia looked surprised, but she then calmed down and thought, "No, it's not impossible......

"As far as I know, the mother and daughter have both been to Beckland recently...... Tracy, in particular, deliberately approached Edsak......

"What do they want to do?"
