Chapter 232: Klein’s Battle of Wits and Courage with the Air

Zaratul...Didn't Zaratul completely lose control and be taken into the Kingdom of Night by the goddess?

Wait... This seems to be the Kingdom of Darkness... Could it be that after being "used" by Huang in the "Dream Maze Tower" for so many years, it hasn't been "broken" yet?

As Klein's thoughts swirled, he tentatively said:

“I’ve heard your last name before.

"I once met the 'Queen of Mysteries' and learned about the Secret Order and its leader from her."

Abner controlled the historical image of Zaratul, glanced at Klein, and said with a smile:

"lie!

"In other words, I didn't tell the whole truth!"

Klein's expression suddenly froze. Before he could think of the right words to make amends, he heard the other party continue in a vague and low voice:

"But I don't care where you heard or saw me...

"I just need you to find an obsidian stone slab and put it into the corresponding groove on the wall behind...

"And that's the only way out."

Klein frowned and immediately asked:

"If you know how to leave, why are you still here?"

Klein is really cautious... I'm afraid even if I reveal my identity on the spot, he may not believe me! With such thoughts in mind, Abner laughed twice and said:

"You may have heard of an ability called 'historical projection'... I used that ability to find the holes in the history and destiny of this world, cut out my own image, fixed it here, and maintained it until now...

"I won't hide it from you either. As long as you open the passage to the outside world, I can use this to find my true body, complete the 'miracle', and get a chance to be resurrected.

"So, at least we're on the same page about going out."

Abner knew the character of Mr. Fool well, and the "story" he fabricated was reasonable, so Klein was deceived for a while.

Although I don't believe it completely, at least I am no longer full of doubts.

Of course I have heard of the ability of "Historical Projection", and I have even seen Mr. "Tower" use it... But the way he uses it is obviously different from yours! Klein thought carefully and asked again: "Has anyone been out before?"

He knew that Mr. "Tower" had gone out. Although the other party did not dare to introduce the situation in the "Land of Night" in detail because he was worried about the goddess, it was impossible for Zaratul to lie to him about this matter.

He's still a little clever... But Abner smiled and shook his head and said: "I only 'awakened' recently, so I'm not sure about the previous situation... However, no one has been out in the past few months."

In other words, this so-called "historical projection" only appeared after the first floor of the "Dream Labyrinth Tower" was completed and the out-of-control Zarath was transferred to the "Land of Night" by the goddess?

Does the goddess know about this? Or is this also part of the goddess's test?

As his thoughts swirled, Klein decided to cooperate with Zaratul's projection first.

Although he didn't quite believe in the person in front of him, he still spoke again with the idea that knowing more would be more conducive to comprehensive judgment:

"Then where should I find that obsidian slab?"

Abner chuckled and said, "It was brought to the town by a 'Secret Puppet Master'. If it's not dead yet, it's in his hands.

"If he dies, he falls into the hands of the person who 'ate' him."

In fact, there is no "Secret Puppet Master" at all. The slate was thrown into the town by the Zaratul projection after Abner and Alvin went out.

Klein's scalp was numb when he heard it, not only because of the cruel living conditions in the town, but also because of the difficulty of finding the stone slab.

"Then it will be difficult for me to find that piece of obsidian. After all, it may be in the hands of anyone." Klein did not hide his embarrassment and waited to see what advice the other party would give.

"Aren't you a fortune teller? Why don't you rely on the 'divination staff'?" Abner joked and continued, "You should be lucky. Someone should have cleaned up this town before I woke up. , erasing all the strong ones among them!

"And there aren't many people alive in the town now."

There aren’t many people alive anymore? That's okay... The strong man who cleaned up the town should be the "Tower" who chased the 'Desperate Nightingale' into this place, right?

Klein's thoughts changed rapidly and he felt somewhat confident, but he emphasized the difficulty again: "You should know that 'divination' requires a medium..."

Upon hearing his question, Abner, adhering to the tradition of an excellent NPC, pointed to a piece of parchment on the ground in front of him.

Klein had actually discovered the piece of paper a long time ago, but because it was too close to Zaratul, he never dared to get close. Only now that he saw the other party pointing at it did he take a closer look.

It was a piece of parchment that looked a little worn. There was no text on it, only three numbers from one to three, and there was a simple symbol behind each number.

Extraordinaries who switch to "Warrior" and other paths may have no clue about these symbols, but as a "seer" who is good at interpreting "symbols", Klein can easily decipher the secrets:

Use three corresponding specific items to unlock the secrets in the paper.

Abner also spoke at the right time:

"Those three numbers are actually 'doors' in a sense. There is a divided space hidden behind them. This should be due to the 'space hiding' ability of the 'mystic mage'.

"In other words, this piece of paper is actually the 'entrance' to the three storage spaces, and the items corresponding to the symbols behind them are the 'keys'.

“You can touch those numbers spiritually and you’ll know what’s inside.

"Haha, it should have been left by a certain 'secret mage' who was once imprisoned here."

Although Klein was doubtful about the explanation of "Zarath", he still did a "divination" with the ready-made items in his hand. After getting the result that there was no danger, he cautiously spread his spirituality.

Soon he figured out what was in the hidden spaces of the parchment.

The number "1" is the magic potion formula of "Cunning Mage" that I dream of. Unfortunately, I can only see the title, but I can't see the specific content. I can only find the corresponding "key"... But the symbol seems a bit like "Azik Bronze Whistle"...

The number "2" records the method of leaving the Kingdom of Darkness... There is also only the title... Well, the key symbol behind this is a stone slab, which should be the obsidian slab mentioned in Port Zaratul, which is the medium for divination. !

In the "3" position is a method of making storage cards... It turns out that the storage cards that Mr. "Tower" often uses are obtained from here! In that case, this parchment is not Zaratul's trap, but the real legacy of his predecessor.

However, how could the senior who left behind the "Cunning Mage" potion recipe so precisely set "Azik Bronze Whistle" as the "key"? Isn't this too much of a coincidence?

With this thought in his mind, Klein took out the "copper whistle" and placed it on the symbol on the first line of the parchment.

Following his movements, the complete content was displayed behind the "door" corresponding to the number "1":

"Sequence 4: Magician.

"Main materials: The main eye of the trickster and the evil spirit, the true soul of the predator in the spiritual world.

"Supplementary materials: 200 ml of trickster's blood, 30 grams of spiritual predator dust, 10 grams of red birch bark, a section of golden grapevine, and a finger-sized homemade rubber mask.

"Promotion ceremony: relying mainly on one's own strength and planning, in the presence of a large audience, directing a grand drama to murder a demigod or an equivalent supernatural creature, and then, at the end of the drama, consume the devil medicine."

Finally... the magic potion formula of "Cunning Mage" is finally obtained!

Looking at the text in front of him, Klein felt excited, feeling that no matter what, his preparations were not in vain.

But at this moment, "Zarath", or Abner, smiled and said:

"If you can help me open the 'door' to the outside world, I can tell you the formula of the 'ancient scholar'."

This is the order that the goddess just sent. After passing the test, He has certain recognition of "Mysterious"'s character and ability.

"Since you value Zhou so much, then I will support him."

The goddess' slightly smiling voice rang in Abner's ears, but Klein, who was so close, didn't notice it at all.
