Chapter 39: Before Parting
After the end of this tarot meeting, Crane disappeared from the source fort and returned to the island where he had taken Audrey before.
Since Crane has now begun to gradually accommodate the Source Castle, Crane can already enter essentia in the flesh.
Under the precise control of the "door", these actions are all done at the same time. Therefore, when Klein opened his eyes, Audrey felt that the gray mist in front of her had dissipated and returned to the real world.
Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and the first thing she saw after opening her eyes was the "world" that gradually opened her eyes. Audrey stood up and spoke to the "world":
"Mr. 'World.'"
“…… Long time no see. Klein hesitated for a moment, then greeted Audrey again, "My first exploration with Mr. 'Fool' is over. ”
"I'm glad to see you back safely." Audrey whispered to Crane, leaving Crane stunned. At this moment, Klein behaved like an ordinary person, and after checking that there was no snooping around him, he relaxed the vigilance that had always existed in his heart and smiled:
"I'm glad to see you like this, and I'm about to go out with Mr. Fool again, and before leaving, Mr. Fool told me to stabilize my mental state again."
Klein added: "Of course, that's my own thinking. ”
Mr. "World" is talking hard...... But for a king of angels, it's a good thing. As an "audience", Audrey naturally saw that the "world" was completely relaxed at the moment, covered her mouth with her hand, and smiled softly.
The next moment she showed a straight face: "Mr. 'World', are you going to start treatment now?" ”
"No, tell me first, what do you see in the dreams of the goddess of the night?" Crane replied in a deep voice, "I might be able to give you some advice. ”
"Also, did you use the information I asked Mr. Baita to send to you in your dreams?"
Those messages sent from far away...... Audrey recalled the information that the "world" had told her before, and that information did have a great effect, at least allowing Audrey to locate her own state in the dream at the beginning.
"Useful, Mr. World." Audrey nodded softly, and began to tell the story of what had happened to her as she dived into darkness and dreams.
From the beginning of being swept into the deep sea and almost dying, to the things that happened in the dream of the goddess of the night, and the "Grim Reaper" who came to hunt down Audrey, Audrey told Klein everything in detail and without omission.
This situation is really dangerous for Audrey, an extraordinary person who only has a sequence three...... Crane listened to Audrey's narration and nodded rhythmically.
After Audrey finished her narrative, Klein raised his head and said to Audrey:
"This dream of the goddess of the night should have evolved for a long time, not the kind of chaotic dream that changes at any time. I'm going to compile some of the general knowledge I have about this dream world and give it to you. ”
"There's my own experience and that of Mr. Fool. Tomorrow...... Well, I'm going to compile this common sense into a book for you tonight. ”
"Books?" Audrey tilted her head, a little confused.
"That's right, books." Klein laughed, extremely happy: "Although it is common sense, it contains a lot of things. In fact, since I said this sentence just now, my doppelganger has already begun to compile and copy this book. ”
"Of course, the work of transcribing this is done by specialized spirit creatures."
There is a special rabbit-type creature in the spirit world that can help people copy and organize knowledge, and it is not difficult to instill a little knowledge in these little spirit creatures according to Crane's personality. It was in this way that Klein was able to quickly transcribe most of the common knowledge of the previous era into a book.
"I see...... Audrey nodded, and instead glanced up at Klein with her turquoise eyes: "Mr. 'World', you seem to be happy, but you seem to be thinking about something bad. ”
"Ahem, there's no such thing."
Crane shook his head slightly, reining in some of his outward emotions. It is a very interesting thing to instill knowledge into others, perhaps because of the genes of being good teachers, and this slightly persecutive indoctrination of knowledge makes Klein happy from the bottom of his heart.
And such emotions were naturally captured by Audrey, who puffed out her cheeks and shook her head gently.
"Besides, I have this guess about the anomalies you encountered during your exploration of the Night Goddess's dreams."
Klein paused for a moment, waited until Audrey had regained his concentration before turning to her:
"First of all, the 'Grim Reaper' figure you encountered."
"I don't think the figure that chased you is the essence of the will to fight against the Goddess of the Night, but a mechanism that naturally forms in dreams to deal with outsiders like you."
"Of course, this mechanic was not created by the Goddess of the Night, but by the will that competed with the Goddess of the Night for her body. If my guess is correct, the will to fight the Goddess of the Night for the dream cannot directly interfere with you, otherwise you will not be able to successfully escape from the dream. ”
Klein pointed to the dream lantern beside Audrey, which had now been completely extinguished, and had reverted back to when it wasn't lit.
However, due to the last exploration, the length of the candle was visibly lower, and the wax oil was trapped in the invisible lampshade and shaking.
"This lantern is a safety measure prepared for you by the true Creator, and it is right for you to extinguish the lantern, otherwise you would have been lost in your dreams and completely disappeared."
Klein looked at Audrey: "Actually, you don't have to carry such a heavy burden on yourself. It doesn't matter if you slow down a little while you're exploring, and now that you're five to ten years away from the end of the world, you still have plenty of time. ”
Well, I see...... Audrey nodded obediently and humbly accepted Klein's suggestion.
"This lantern has several different functions, the main one is to allow you to enter the dream world, and the remaining ones are to help you explore the dream world better."
Crane waved his arm, and a little bit of color suddenly appeared beside Audrey.
These points of light form a pattern, presented in front of Audrey:
"First of all, this dream lantern can automatically record the location of your entry into the dream world, and the next time you enter the dream world, I am afraid that it will not fall directly from the sky, but appear in the alley before you."
"It can also help you guide you to the distance between you and the Night Goddess's incarnation in the dream realm, and the closer the Night Goddess gets to you, the brighter the lantern will shine."
"However, it takes some time to recover after each exploration, and the longer you explore, the more it will wear out. After this candle is completely burned, there is a good chance that you will lose your protection and your mind will be directly exposed to the dreams of the true God. At that point, you'll be in danger. ”
The "extinguishing" of this dream lantern is not the extinguishing of the flame, but the light emitted by it will become dim until it disappears. Once the light in the lantern cannot shine on Audrey, Audrey will be completely exposed to the dream of the goddess of the night as a foreign object.
It is like a light in the darkness, attracting the frenzied attacks and pursuits of countless creatures hiding in the darkness.
“…… Like a situation where I had a feeling that the whole world was rejecting me? ”
"That's right. You can also encounter this situation when you are not illuminated by the lantern. Klein paused: "Usually I call this situation 'Death is coming', and whether there is life or no life around you, it will want to kill you under the influence. ”
"I see, I'll be more mindful next time I explore. Thank you, Mr. World. ”
Audrey smiled warmly and thanked Klein. Klein was just about to get up, but he heard Audrey's words coming one after another:
"Mr. 'World', I have one more question I want to ask you."
"I went out of my way to Leonard in order to find Parles Zoroaster and ask him some questions about dreams before I went into the dream."
When Klein heard Leonard's name, his spiritual intuition surged up, and he felt his scalp tingle, and sure enough, the next moment Audrey asked a fatal question:
"When he saw me, Leonard's mind about who I was was a student of the 'Angel of Death' His Excellency Klein Moretti. But I know that the deacon of the Church of the Night who taught me at that time was none other than you, Mr. World. ”
"So, who the hell are you, well?"
Len Na de –
Klein strained his feet, and the feeling of embarrassment suddenly spread throughout his body. He coughed softly and pressed his left fist against his lips:
"Actually......"
"If you don't want to say it, you don't have to say it, Mr. World." Audrey looked at Klein from below with her big eyes and said cautiously.
This attitude made it difficult for Crane to speak, and the cave suddenly became silent. Tianzun's pleasant voice sounded in Crane's ears in the silence:
"Haha, boomerang is coming......"
In the end, the silence was broken by a cough from Klein, who adhered to the idea that as long as he was not embarrassed, it was someone else who was embarrassed, and continued the action just now:
"I'm 'Crane.'"
Audrey's eyes widened slightly, but Crane didn't see much surprise in his eyes. It can be seen that Audrey has already guessed this.
"The 'Angel of Death' you met before and I have the right and left hand relationship with Mr. 'Fool', if you want to say that I am also an 'Angel of Death' now, there is actually not much of a problem."
"If there is an example to use as a metaphor, then Mr. 'Fool' and I, and 'Angel of Death', are equivalent to 'Ancient Sun God' and 'Sasriel.'"
The beauty of this sentence is that whether it is from Mr. "Fool" or "I", it fits the following example......
Klein secretly complained in his heart about what he had just said, and Audrey nodded thoughtfully:
"Then the 'Tarot Society' is equivalent to the 'Rose of Redemption'?"
This is not to be said...... "Rose of Redemption" has never brought salvation, only a thousand-year-old struggle. Klein shook his head:
"Not really, after all, Mr. Fool is in much better shape than the ancient sun god he once was, and he doesn't need to follow the ancient sun god to assassinate himself."
After all, your "fool" Mr. Fool can complete suicide by himself, unlike God who can't create a stone that he can't hold up, and can't kill himself......
Klein teased the ancient sun god in his heart, but if the concentration of the will of the Celestial Venerable in Klein's body reached a peak, he would not be able to control his authority to kill him.
The only convenient thing is that the "Master of Mysteries" has more fragile defenses than "God", and it is easier to kill.
"Okay, Mr. 'World', I have no problem now, we can start this spiritual healing."
"No problem."
Klein sat down, relaxed his mental state, and began the treatment after re-checking that his mind was not polluted.
After completing this mental grooming, Klein stood up and asked Audrey:
"What are your plans now?"
“…… I'm going back to Beckland. Although the affairs of the church during this period of time are temporarily entrusted to Archbishop Anthony, it is still a long time before I enter the dream of the goddess next time. This was a good time for Archbishop Anthony to stabilize his state. ”
Archbishop Anthony has become an angel...... Klein nodded, "Do you need me to send you back?" ”
"Thank you, Mr. World."
The scene around Audrey suddenly changes to a dark night church, and after she finishes her psychotherapy for Klein, Beckland has also entered the night.
Audrey walked out of her office and stepped on the slightly soft ground, she looked up, and the starry sky was reflected in her eyes.
Audrey spoke softly, as if whispering to the stars:
"Good night, Mr. Crane."
——
"Good night, Miss Audrey."
Out of nowhere, a sigh was heard.
