Chapter 285: If you don't burn it now, when will you wait
Under the sun, the Golden Dream radiates a golden brilliance, like a moving treasure.
In the captain's room, Edvina stood in front of the window, looking out at the blue sea in the distance.
When they received a summons from Gelman Sparrow last week, the Golden Dream was salvaging a Quaternary shipwreck in a nearby area, and Edwina did not hesitate to order the crew to leave for Baiam.
After a few days of sailing, the Golden Dream has now entered the waters of Rothder.
If nothing else, you can reach Baiam in three hours.
Of course.
Given that Byam is the capital of the Rorsted Islands, the Church of the Storm and the military each have a demigod in charge. Therefore, as one of the pirate generals, the 'Iceberg Lieutenant General' will definitely not go directly to Byam, which is tantamount to throwing himself into a net.
The meeting place they agreed on was the sea near Simim Island.
The Golden Dream will not dock, but Gelman Sparrow will find a private ship to find them in the nearby waters.
Suddenly, there was a commotion on the deck.
Edwina's pale blue eyes flickered slightly, and she cautiously pushed open the door to the captain's room and walked to the deck.
At the same time, the many pirate crews on deck surrounded the outsiders.
Daniz, who was also part of the crowd, asked suspiciously:
"How did you get here?"
Klein, who is now Gelman Sparrow, said in a cold tone:
"Teleport."
Hearing the cold tone of 'Gelman Sparrow', Daniz felt a little worried in his heart.
But soon he thought that there was someone behind him to support him, and he suddenly became angry again, and wanted to say a few cruel words on the spot.
"Spread out."
The sound of boots on the planks reached everyone's ears at the same time as the cold voice of women.
"But the captain ......"
Adevina said calmly:
"Go back to your own posts."
Daniz suddenly lowered his head and turned sideways, and the others silently moved out of the way.
But they didn't leave, but remained on deck.
Klein bowed his head lightly and smiled politely:
"Good morning, Madam Captain."
"Good morning, Mr. Gelman." Adevina smiled in response.
She turned and led Klein into the cabin, down the dimly lit aisle, through the wooden doors, to the brighter second floor, to the half-open collection room.
Crane glanced casually inside, and the huge black iron key was placed on a wooden table.
Klein was about to reach out to take it, but Adevina suddenly stopped him, and said in an emotionless tone:
"You said in your letter that it was Ash who needed the key."
Klein withdrew his hand and said calmly:
"Of course, he's right here."
"Huh?"
A hint of confusion flashed in Adewina's eyes, but the next moment she saw a sudden figure appear in front of the table, it was Ash!
Adewina's memory was in a trance for a moment, and in the past minute, she seemed to have seen Ember several times—
He and Crane appeared on deck together, surrounded by sailors, and came to the collection room together.
But along the way, she didn't find anything.
Adevina reacted immediately and asked:
"Psychological invisibility?"
"Yes."
Ember simply admitted.
Although it is only the extraordinary ability of Sequence 6, psychological stealth is actually very useful.
For example, when Klein was exploring the church on that island, Adam kept his psychology on and watched him perform.
If it is an extraordinary person in the same sequence of audience paths, if they sit face to face with each other invisible in psychology, they may even ignore each other, and no one will be able to find out who is not.
And when Adevina discovers that Ember has been on psychological stealth the whole time, she immediately realizes that this may be a trap.
Someone is staring at the key, and the journey itself may be a trap.
Adevina suddenly asked curiously:
"What does this key have to do with it?"
Ember said briefly:
"It's the key that opens the gates to the Giant's Court."
"The Giant Court?"
"The 'Court of the Giants' in myths and legends?" Adevina asked rhetorically with sparkling eyes.
Ember bowed her head in affirmation.
Adewina's eyes suddenly brightened, and she asked:
"The 'Court of the Giants' is in Godforsaken Lands?"
Ember snorted:
"I'm going to the Giant's Court, and I need the help of this key."
"What do you need?"
Adevina understood that he was referring to the price of the key, and did not shirk, and replied calmly:
"5,000 pounds."
Ember flipped his palms and pulled out a stack of bills out of nowhere.
No more, no less, just 5,000 pounds.
Klein suddenly asked:
"If you're going to Godforsaken, do you need a guide?"
He was referring to the little 'sun', and Silver City happened to be exploring the Godforsaken Lands.
If Ember is going to the Forsaken Lands, summoning through the little 'sun' is the best option.
Silver City is familiar with its surroundings and knows how to get to the Giant Court.
With them leading the way, it will undoubtedly be much easier.
At the same time, Ember may also be able to help Silver City solve some problems that have plagued them for a long time-
For example, taking them out of God's forsaken land.
"Wizard?"
Ember glanced thoughtfully at Klein, and then suddenly pulled out a book bound in parchment.
"It's ......"
Klein subconsciously glanced at the book, and there was a line of ancient Forsak on the surface of the dark brown cover:
"Grossell's Travels".
"This comes from a shipwreck on the seabed, which has been immersed for 165 years and is still undamaged."
"It tells the story of a giant named Grossell who decided to go to the Land of Frost to hunt down the 'King of the North', a powerful Frost Dragon. ”
"On the way, he met companions, including female elves, devout ascetics, nobles of the Solomon Empire, and soldiers of Rune, and the story just progressed to the point where they encountered the 'King of the North' head-on but suddenly stopped, not that there were none, but that the following pages were difficult to open by various means."
"And Ash told me that there was a world in this book, but I didn't know how to get into it."
Klein immediately deciphered another meaning of these words:
This travelogue originally belonged to Lieutenant General Iceberg, and Ember was bought from her.
And the statement that this travelogue contains a world reminds Klein of the world of painting.
The world of painting is a world hidden in a painting, and this is a world hidden in a travelogue.
So why did Ember take out this book?
"Grossell?"
The answer immediately came to Klein's mind -
The giant, Grossell, probably came from the former court of giants.
If Ember needs a guide, a giant is undoubtedly the best option.
Klein asked:
"Have you been in?"
"Nope."
Adevina also asked curiously:
"Have you figured out how to get into it?"
When they sold the travelogue to Ember, they agreed that Ember would tell her the mysteries—
Include the special features of this travelogue, and how to get into it.
If she had the chance, Adevina would even like to go in and experience it herself.
She wanted to know how the world in this travelogue differed from the world of painting.
Ember confessed:
"Not either."
"To enter the world of this travelogue, you have to follow the rules he has set in advance."
"And I haven't figured out this rule yet, so theoretically I can't get in."
"But ......"
Ember said as flames suddenly rose from his palm, engulfing the Grossell's Travels in the blink of an eye.
In the blink of an eye, the raging fire burned it completely, melting into a single flame.
“……”
Klein's expression was a little subtle, if you burn what you see, aren't you afraid of burning out? Trying to burn anything will only hurt you!
After a few moments, the fire gradually weakened.
And the "melted" "Grossell" travelogue has gradually returned to its original shape.
When the flames had completely dissipated, the travelogue lay quietly in the palm of the ember's hand, looking the same as before.
But Klein knew that the 'underlying rules' of the book had changed.
Crane asked thoughtfully:
"How do I get in now?"
He wanted to go in and have a look, too.
Ember succinctly said:
"Turn to the last page and be part of the story, which of you would like to try?"
"I'll come first."
Adevina took Grossell's travels and did not hesitate to turn to the last page where the text was recorded—
This page tells the story of Grossell's encounter with the 'King of the North'.
The number of pages after that could not be opened in any way before.
But this time, Adevina easily flipped it over.
But unexpectedly, the page went blank.
The blank pages radiated a holy glow, enveloping Adevina in an instant.
Her figure first became illusory for no apparent reason, and then vanished.
Ember looked at Klein and asked:
"What about you?"
"It's all coming......"
Klein shrugged his shoulders and made a move that was extremely inconsistent with 'Gelman Sparrow'.
Then he turned the page to the next blank page, and the figure gradually became illusory and disappeared.
Ember stood at the table, silent for a moment.
He put away the black iron key and slowly turned the pages.
Under the shroud of light, his figure gradually faded.
The collection room was empty, and it wouldn't be difficult if someone came to steal the notebook at this point.
Quietly, a figure suddenly appeared in the collection room.
It was a priest in a simple white robe, a silver cross pendant, and a thick pale gold beard.
His expression was warm, and his eyes as clear and innocent as a baby were calmly gazing at the travelogue.
He shouldn't have been here because it was dangerous, and it would be like throwing himself into a trap.
But He had no choice now.
Doing nothing is not wrong, but after all, it is just waiting for death in a chronic way.
And even if he does something wrong, it will only make the already bad environment worse-
But no matter how bad it is, how bad can it be?
The priest stretched out his hand, and an invisible force shrouded Grossell's Travels.
But the next moment, the scene in front of the priest's eyes suddenly changed.
It was a white world of ice and snow.
The priest's face changed slightly, he obviously didn't open the book! ——
The wind with ice slag and goose feather snowflakes slapped Klein in the face, making his body tense involuntarily and tremble slightly while he looked at his surroundings.
"Really...... It's cold......" He almost uttered a foul word, making sure he was in a field of ice and snow that was extremely visible.
He originally thought that the damp and cold of Beckland's winter was the most terrifying, but now he finally understood that the absolute low temperature and the fierce wind like a knife were the deadly combination, and even he was a little overwhelmed by the already Sequence 5.
Crane looked around, but found no signs of Adevina or Ember, or footprints or anything like footprints.
They obviously entered this world with their front and back feet, but the landing point seems to be completely different.
So, where does he go now?
After thinking about it for a while, Klein decided to divination.
Of course, divination is not about divination if you want to, you need a medium.
For example, if he wants to divinate Adewina's location, he needs to use something related to Adewina as a medium. For example, Adevina's clothes, weapons, and even cosmetics. These items are tainted with Edwina's scent, so they can be used for divination.
But it's best to use her blood or hair, which belong to Adevina herself, and divination will be more accurate.
But Klein didn't have any of that, so he couldn't tell Adevina's location.
However, he can choose the location of the divination embers.
Thinking about it, Klein took out an ember—
The embers, who had been burned to ashes, did not have the luxury of blood and hair, embers were part of his body.
"The location of the embers."
Crane whispered, placing the embers on top of his cane, and he prepared to use the 'Divination Staff'.
The 'Divination Staff' method is one of the most common methods of divination, just like pendulum divination and dream divination.
It's just that the 'divination rod' was originally and the most practical use for finding objects, and only the 'soothsayer' could use it to find people.
The results came out quickly, and Crane did not hesitate, stepping on the thick snow, under the dark sky, quickly walking through the raging wind, and divining again from time to time to adjust the direction, after all, Ember would not wait for him in place.
After nearly an hour of arduous marching through the snow, Crane held down his hat and carried his cane, and according to the revelations of divination, he found all the way to a mountain peak.
Skirting a huge rock with a thick layer of ice, they saw a dark cave with a woman standing at the entrance with an ancient bow and arrow.
The woman had shiny black hair tied into a simple ponytail, and her facial features were very soft, unlike any of the people of the Northern Continent.
She wore a brown vintage hunter's coat and trousers, and her inspiration was keen to cast her gaze.
Seeing her slightly pointed ears, combined with the content of "Grossell's Travels", Klein immediately knew her identity:
The first female elf known to the giant Grossell, whose name is unknown.
And to find this elf, you find Grossell.
In other words, he was in the right place!
