Chapter 173: Dream Analysis (Asking for Monthly Pass Recommendation Tickets)
!
Crane was startled, and instinctively turned to the side, not leaving his back to Leomaste, who was trembling in terror in the pantry.
He was no longer sure that there was nothing wrong with the "prisoner" in the linen robe!
At this time, the knight, who was wearing black full-body armor and had the same face as Leomaste, had a deep red in his eyes, and raised his dark and wide straight sword with both hands.
Step on!
He took a stride and slashed forward, so fast that Crane's eyes could barely catch it.
Crane, who was also facing him on his side, subconsciously raised the "Seagod Scepter", causing the cyan blue gem at the top to light up at the same time.
Woo!
A physical hurricane rose out of thin air, encircling Klein layer after layer, protecting him in the eye of the storm.
The black streamer slashed, and the wind disintegrated layer after layer, shooting out in all directions, causing the entire hall to stagger.
Bang!
Under the dark sword, the hurricane made an explosive sound, turning into a shock wave, flooding the area, lifting all the piles of debris into the air.
The violent collision clearly shook the dream, and Crane was in a trance, and he couldn't help rolling twice involuntarily.
Thump!
He fell from the bed in his room to the deck, and his eyes opened.
That "Black Sage" is really strong...... In other words, I haven't actually used the "Poseidon Scepter" in the real world, so I can't restore its full power in my dreams...... Wait! It's still night! Crane suddenly noticed a problem:
At this time, the window position is not shining in the midday sun!
His awakening is the result of a fierce confrontation in a dream, not a natural change!
In other words, he must fall asleep immediately, or he will probably disappear in this dark night, and no one will find him!
In a flash of thought, Crane propped his right hand on the ground, bounced up, flew to his bed, and lay down on it.
Then, he visualized countless superimposed balls of light and quickly entered the dream.
In the process, Crane's eyes swept through the window, and he vaguely saw that the night outside was deep and cold, quiet and peaceful, without a trace of evil smell.
At the same time, he vaguely felt that there was a fog covering the sea in the distance, and in the mist, there was a very old spired church, which was black all over, and there was no bell tower, and at the top there were black crows hovering around, as if to pay tribute to something, mourn something.
The church is dotted with buildings, ranging from ordinary two-story dwellings to simple wooden houses, bakeries with hanging signs, and gray mills powered by waterwheels...... Passers-by walk in the streets and alleys, and their figures are full of shadows, and it is difficult to know the specifics.
Mirage?The source of danger at night?Where did all the missing people go without their minds?Crane woke up from his dream, and the questions that had accumulated before flashed in his mind.
Then, he forcibly gathered his thoughts and took out the "Seagod Scepter" from the "Special Area of the Spirit Realm"!
He remembered that when he left the dream realm before, he was fighting the "Black Sage"!
A slightly dim golden glow shone into Klein's eyes, and everything suddenly brightened.
His eyes were no longer a tall knight in black armor, nor Leomaster in a linen robe, but a row of floor-to-ceiling windows facing the setting sun.
The windows were very clean, and the sunlight outside revealed an indescribable purity.
Next to the window, there are long wood-colored tables and brown chairs, and a little further away are rows of bookshelves filled with books of all kinds.
Library?Great Library?Every time you enter this dream world, you will randomly go to a different place within a certain range?Crane carefully looked left and right for a while, confirming that this place is safe for the time being, there are no so-called "black sages", and there are no strange and evil creatures.
Holding the "Poseidon Scepter", he came to the floor-to-ceiling window first and looked out at the outside environment.
The first thing that caught his eye was the magnificent complex of buildings covering the opposite peak, the huge palace, the majestic minaret, and the towering city walls all frozen in the dusk, which was very visually striking.
Even though it wasn't the first time he saw it, Crane held his breath and quietly admired the miraculous view for a few seconds.
He quickly moved his gaze to the cliff, and saw the high walls of the black monastery, and saw the withered yellow trees beside the boulder, but because of the obscuration, he could not confirm whether the "Star General" Gardelia was still in place.
Sure enough, within a certain range, did not leave this area...... Am I going deep into the Black Abbey?, Klein withdrew his gaze thoughtfully, and walked to the bookshelves.
He didn't have time to think about what was going on with the "Black Sage" and Leomast in his previous dream, because he had to confirm his current situation first.
Approaching the shelves, Crane noticed that the books on them had their own names, not the vague ones in normal dreams.
"The Spirituality of Life", "The Book of Charms", "The Flower of the Heart", "The Inner and Outer Universe and the Real Starry Sky...... These are all books in the field of occultism...... Crane cautiously reached out and pulled out the Book of Charms.
He took a quick look and found that he had mastered most of the content in the book, but there were also a few genres that he had never been exposed to.
Can I be sure that this is not the embodiment of my dream ...... the "Hermit" lady? The knowledge she was chased and instilled in was manifested in the library of the Black Abbey? Crane had no desire to explore outside, took the book of Charms back to the floor-to-ceiling window, found a place to sit down, and began to read it carefully in the light of dusk.
In dreams, you can even study! He took out a pen and paper while complaining to himself, writing and drawing.
Just as he was indulging in this, the light suddenly brightened, and the whiteness ruled his vision.
Crane naturally opened his eyes, warmed by the sunlight shining in outside.
"I've only read a few pages, and I'm about to take a quick look at them before using the 'dream divination' method......" Crane sat up in frustration, feeling like he had missed a great opportunity to learn, for he wasn't sure if he would randomly end up in the Black Abbey library next time.
He brushed his hair, put on his hat, and went down to the deck, observing the environment and reminiscing about the dream he had had before:
"There's a good chance that the prison is also in the Black Abbey, well, maybe underground, in other words, the 'Black Sage' and Leomaster are in some ruin or ruin not far away.
"No wonder Will 'The Serpent of Mercury' told me not to try to explore, those places are really full of dangers!
"How does the 'Black Sage' look exactly the same as Leomaster? This dream is a bit weird, and besides, the full-length mirror is also very magical and evil, and it actually copied a Gelman Sparrow ......"
Remembering this, Klein began to look for examples from what he had experienced, and to determine the idea in a contrasting way.
This is called relying on experience.
Soon, he had an association with the help of the "Nightmare Candle" that he had helped Father Utravsky get rid of "his past self" - a split personality - with the help of the "Nightmare Candle" when he was in Beckland!
"Could it be that Leomast himself is the 'Black Sage' of the Aurora Society?
"For some reason, he has a split personality, the good him and the evil him, and that deep, closed dark prison is the dream reflection of his heart?
"Yes, the full-length mirror! Leomaster said that if it was destroyed, it would disappear with it, and when I looked in the mirror, Gelman Sparrow inside did form an entity, and it was evil!
"It's no wonder that after I killed that Gelman Sparrow in the mirror, I felt like a sage in time, because I had cleared some evil thoughts and evil intentions in my heart......
"Well, that full-length mirror may not be in the form of a mirror in the real world...... There are obviously extraordinary remnants of 'visionaries' in this area, and there are many monsters that are not real but can kill...... And this belongs to the 'audience' approach, so it is completely logical that there are relics that separate good and evil, and split personalities......
"Hehe, the 'Black Sage' Leomaster is a high-ranking member of the Aurora Society, and he must have been very evil, but that relic or that item activated the opposite side of him, that is, the latent good thoughts in his heart, caused his personality to split, so he was trapped somewhere nearby. Klein felt like he had roughly figured out the truth of the matter, and had a vague sense of regret.
It's a pity that he couldn't enter the same place for the second time, otherwise relying on the "Seagod Scepter" and Leomaster's good side, it is really possible to defeat his evil side, the "Black Sage", and the damage of the dream world will continue to reality......
In this way, there will be a kind sage who knows the "Aurora Society" very well and can crack down on this cult very well...... Crane took a silent breath and half-turned to look at Anderson Hood, who had just come out of the cabin.
"Where did you go in your dream? I didn't even see you. The "strongest hunter" asked familiarly.
Klein frowned secretly and asked:
"Why should you be seen?"
Anderson was stunned for a moment and said:
"Where was when you left the dream, and shouldn't you be there when you re-enter?"
...... I randomly appeared in certain places within a certain range of different factors? my own peculiarity? Klein found that the problem was more complex than he had imagined.
He pondered and said:
"I was somewhere else after I entered the dream. ”
"Strange ......" Anderson frowned, also looking confused.
Without waiting for Klein to speak, he said again thoughtfully:
"There's another strange thing. ”
"What?" Crane asked.
Anderson looked around and said:
"The last time I was pretending to be a canoe in that hall, I heard the sound of a door opening and footsteps going out from the depths, but when I looked up, I didn't see anything.
"I originally thought it was someone from this boat, but then I didn't think it looked like it. ”
