Chapter 588: Message of Disaster Seal
Crossfia actually came into this nightmare? Oh, no wonder she knew so clearly how to enter the "ruins", and even "guessed" that the so-called necessary conditions were "the full moon night and the assistance of tranquility herbs"...
I really thought she was deducing it based on the confession of the leader of the caravan... Now that I think about it, maybe that caravan could enter the ruins on a full moon night and take out the "treasure", maybe it was all her fault The "script"!
After all, sailing at night is a very dangerous thing. Even if the Jianhai is an inland sea, it is only slightly safer than the Sonia Sea...
The reason why she didn't take away the other valuable items the last time she came in was because she still needed those things for the game, right?
Combined with the "performance" that Ms. Crossfia asked me and Dunn to perform...
Is this a ceremony for her to be promoted to "Dream Weaver"?
As his thoughts were spinning, Abner felt sincere admiration for Crossfia's "calculation" ability and thought to himself: Russell is indeed right, "be careful of the audience"!
Of course, a committee member of the "Psychological Alchemy Society" who was so "greedy" that even an angel dared to confront him...
After coming back to his senses, the "retrospection" was over. Abner pondered for a while, then took the notebook of descendants of giants exchanged from Miss Gwen and walked to the huge ancient building built on the mountain. In front of the fort.
He thought for a moment, then recalled the information he had obtained after helping those giants before, and finally decided to take a risk and use his "Pure White Eyes" to "analyze" the castle.
Soon, the castle in his eyes became abstract and turned into an entangled state of three rays of light: orange, pitch black, and pale.
Pale is at the bottom, orange is at the top, and black is half surrounding the two on the periphery... They confront each other and merge with each other, in a strange balance.
"Dusk", "Darkness"...even the power of "Death"! So, the entrance to the "God of Death" ruins should be inside the castle? No wonder those people who had been "retrospected" before, except Crosfiya, all chose to enter the castle...
After stopping the "analysis", Abner thought for a moment, took out the "Holy Ointment" that Captain Arsenoff asked Karen to give to him, and smeared it on the "Cursed Tudor Badge", and its The negative effects are minimized, so it is worn on the chest.
Then, he took a deep breath, simulated the power of the "living corpse", and knocked on the door of the castle.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
There was a dull crashing sound in the silent space, and then the hardwood door that was nearly five meters high suddenly opened.
The person who opened the door was a bearded Cyclops. When he saw Abner, he smiled heartily and said: "Doctor Strange, welcome to your arrival.
"Also, thank you again for your 'salvation' that allowed me to wake up from my deep sleep."
This giant was one of the giants Abner had helped before in the nightmare scene. At this moment, in Abner's eyes, he had completely turned into a dead spirit!
what is this? Is the dusk castle shrouded in darkness connected to the underworld?
The abstract image of the castle he had just seen flashed through his mind. On the surface, Abner enthusiastically exchanged greetings with the giant named "Chekov" and walked into the castle under his guidance.
The hall on the first floor is more than half the size of a football field. There are many armors and weapons displayed on the left and right, and there are even extraordinary items... Unfortunately, the sizes of those items are all made according to the stature of giants, and they cannot be used by ordinary people.
When he withdrew his gaze, Abner had already arrived at the stairs led by the giant "Chekov". The latter stopped and said in a loud voice:
"Doctor Strange, the Lord is waiting for you in the living room on the second floor...
"My identity does not allow me to go upstairs, so I can only escort you here."
escort? Could it be that without you, there would be other dangers in this castle?
Abner heard something was wrong from his words, and carefully looked at the layout of the hall again. He didn't find anything at first, but soon he noticed the candlesticks emitting orange-red light on both sides of the hall...
To be precise, the danger hidden in those lights!
I see... Is there a monster hiding in the "light"? An ability similar to the "Silver Knight"'s "hide by light"... Is this something "contaminated" and "evolved" by the divine power of the "God of War"?
If others come in without permission, they may be attacked...
From this point of view, the previous "arrangement" to help giants and half-giants escape from nightmares was not all about helping me "digest" the potion, but also to reduce the danger of this castle...
Seeing that Abner was silent and seemed to be thinking about something, the giant named Chekov misunderstood his idea and added: "There is no danger to you on the stairs, it is their 'forbidden zone'..." …However, after you go up, it’s best not to look back.”
After hearing his words, Abner took a few glances at the stairs covered with red carpets, and suddenly understood.
After all, this place is still a nightmare. Although this castle has parts drawn from reality, it also incorporates the giants' subconscious image of the royal court. The stairs in front of you are actually just stairs in the "psychological" sense. Where it leads depends on where the person going upstairs wants to go...
That's why you can't "turn back". Once you turn back, you will lose your "destination". Although it is not dangerous, you may stray into other places...
And entering other areas of the castle without the owner's permission may offend the other party.
"Speaking of which, if this is a computer game, the player must turn back deliberately and visit every corner of the castle before going to the living room to meet the NPC, right?"
While complaining in his heart, Abner thanked the giant Chekov, then touched the "Tudor Badge" on his chest, and then jumped up the steps of the stairs.
——This staircase is designed for giants. The first step is nearly one meter high.
After jumping up a few steps, Abner suddenly stopped, then stroked his forehead and thought:
"I'm really stupid... Since this is a staircase on the psychological level, it's an environment similar to a dream... Can't I just use 'Dream Travel'? It's not very elegant to jump around like this... It goes against the strangeness The character of a doctor..."
With this thought in his mind, he did so, and soon transformed into a dream "elf" and arrived at the corridor on the second floor.
And here, a two-meter-tall half-giant lady was waiting for him.
She is the lady who was wandering in the ice field of dreams, wanting to explore the source of the cold.
Abner remembered that her name was Karenina and that she claimed to be the lord's maid.
As soon as the Karenina lady saw Abner, she saluted with great joy. After a brief greeting, she guided him to the door of the reception room.
"Giant Levon Tostai, Lord Tamik, the 'Dawn Knight' of Sequence 6."
This was information gleaned from other giants and half-giants, and it was also the reason why Abner dared to come to see the other party in person... After all, the other party was only a mid-level Extraordinary person before his death.
However, when Abner saw this lord for the first time, he knew that he was terribly wrong, because the pressure on him was much stronger than that of ordinary demigods!
The four-meter-tall giant lord looked down at Abner with his iconic vertical one-eye, and at the same time grinned widely and said with a smile in the ancient Fusac language:
"Thank you for your help, Doctor Strange...you have brought my family back to the castle."
In response, Abner said a few polite words and then made his request, which was to take away the "Five Color Brilliant Stone" and refine the "Bone Dragon".
"The 'barrier' laid out with the 'Five Color Brilliant Stones' was originally set up to protect the spirits of my family, so that they would not continue to slide into deeper nightmares... Well, this involves me and a man named Rose. As a transaction with your people, he took away an evil spirit that was an angel from me. In exchange, he arranged the ritual outside...
"As for the dragon's skeleton, it does not belong to me. You can use it as you wish."
Perhaps because he had a very good impression of Abner, the giant lord was surprisingly easy to talk to, but then he changed the subject and continued:
"If you can answer one of my questions, I will not only let you take those things, but I will also give you a generous thank you gift."
The evil spirit that the angel turned into... I remember that in the scene I saw outside just now, there was a patriarch of the Church of the God of War chasing the suspected time traveler. Miranda, the "Death Archon", entered the castle, but in the end he was the only one behind him. One person comes out...
Now it seems that the angel from the God of War Church probably died here...
But what does Russell want the evil spirit he has fallen into to do?
While thinking in his mind, Abner looked at the giant lord and asked cautiously: "Your Excellency, what do you want to ask?"
"Don't be nervous. In fact, it's just like you solved my family's nightmare before... I'm also trapped in the nightmare. It's just because of the help of Her Highness Miranda that I became the guardian of the gate of the underworld. This identity allows Every now and then I wake up in my dreams…
"Well, in fact, this castle is my nightmare!
"And my confusion is...how did I die? In other words, what are the forces entangled in my nightmare?"
So, is your nightmare really connected to the "underworld"? The ruins arranged by the "God of Death"?
Could it be that Mr. Azik entered there directly and was separated from me?
As his thoughts turned, Abner decided to wait until he solved the Giant Lord's problem before asking him for information about Miranda, Azik and Russell.
He pondered for a moment before looking at the one-eyed giant lord Levin again and confirmed:
"You really want to know what's haunting this castle, your nightmare?"
"Yes...even if it is very dangerous!" Giant Lord Levin said affirmatively, and then added, "Neither His Highness Miranda nor His Highness Eggers told me...Roselle doesn't know what it is, either. As for the other people who enter here, they are not as good as Russell..."
Russell doesn’t know? That means he wasn't an angel when he came here... But judging from his aura in "Retrospection", he was at least a demigod!
With this thought flashing through his mind, Abner frowned and asked, "Then why do you think I can know?"
I'm not even as good as Russell at that time.
Giant Lord Levin was silent for a while before he said: "Because this is what the red 'seal' in Russell's hand told me!
“It says that after more than a hundred years, a ‘learned man’ will come here and solve all your problems.
"Yes, the 'Erutologist' with pure white eyes!"
