Chapter 237 Dream Journey

Klein withdrew his gaze, looked at the dense forest behind him that almost no light could shine in, and roughly understood his current location.

This is the "Forest of Decay" guarded by Grossel when he was in the "Royal Court of Giants".

The trees in the forest are tens of meters high, and they are so thick that it takes several giants to encircle them. However, their skins are mottled and rotten, and the branches and leaves are all dry, hanging down and entangled with each other, like dark clouds floating in the air. .

Grossel and several giants similar to him guarded the outer edge of the forest, either carrying an ax or a big sword, and concentrated on guarding against different directions.

"According to Grossel, the giant king Almir's father and mother are buried in this 'forest of decay'. No one can set foot except this ancient god, including them guards... well, the giant king Olmer's parents should be the so-called first-generation giants, the craziest, fiercest and cruelest kind, probably... Hey, why did Grossel have such a dream?" Klein suddenly realized something was wrong while he was thinking. .

According to what he had just chatted and inquired about in Pesot City, today's Grossel is a giant who was born and raised locally and has nothing to do with the "Royal Court of Giants".

So, now the dream seems quite abnormal!

"From the theory of the Psychological Alchemists mentioned by Ms. Daly and Miss 'Justice', maybe when the book world creates characters, it will use or copy the subconscious and collective subconscious of the original characters, and then slightly modify them to satisfy the conscious consciousness. The needs of the current setting, therefore, the current Grossel will be affected by his own subconscious in the dream, and reproduce the life in the "Giant King's Court"... If this is the case, it can only be said that this book is a cruel book. Writer..." Thinking of this, Klein suddenly felt a twitch in his heart, feeling that this was an opportunity to gain information about the "Royal Court of Giants".

He had originally planned to ask Grossel directly about this issue, but in order to fulfill his promise, the giant guardian died in the battle with "King of the North" Urisian, and the spirit body left the book world After that, it quickly dissipated, and he didn't give a chance to communicate at all. Now he finally has another way, which is to explore Grossel's dream.

There must be a part of it that is absurd and exaggerated, but the remaining content must be a reflection of reality. As long as you study carefully, it is not impossible to distinguish.

"Grossel has never entered the 'Forest of Decay'. Even if there are scenes in it, they come from his imagination, and there is no need to explore..." Klein slowly turned his gaze to the mountain where the royal court is.

It is not high, which means that the "Forest of Decay" is located on the mountain quite close to the royal court, and there should be a road from here to the residence of the ancient god.

Klein didn't waste time looking for it,

He walked directly to Grossel, put on a look we are very familiar with, and asked unhurriedly:

"How should I go back to the royal court?"

He knew that Grossel was an honest giant, and he must be more honest in the dream.

Grossel raised his hand and scratched the back of his head, lowered his head and smiled in confusion:

"Didn't you go back from the 'Desolate Tunnel'?"

He pointed to the front side and added:

"Go around that boulder and you can see it."

"Thank you." Klein sighed and saluted.

Watching his back go away, Grossel scratched the back of his head again, and said to himself in confusion:

"Who is he? Why do I feel familiar..."

Walking around a huge boulder protruding from the mountain wall, Klein's eyes suddenly brightened, and a huge cave at least 30 meters high appeared.

Outside the cave stood a stele, carved with one eye, a tall nose, and thick lips, like a giant's head was forced in and only the front part was exposed.

As soon as Klein approached, the mouth on the stone tablet opened:

"Why did you return to the royal court early?"

"Being summoned by the king." Klein said panickedly without changing his face. Anyway, the IQ of all the creatures in this dream is basically equal to the dream's owner, that is, Grossel.

The lips on the stele opened and closed, making a humming sound:

"Please answer one question for me, or I will not pass."

…At a time like this, if you bring the “Magic Mirror” Arrods with you, something interesting will happen… Klein slandered, nodded calmly and said:

"it is good."

The lips on the stele closed for three seconds and then opened:

"If your wife, your daughter, and the woman you covet asked you to judge which of them is the most beautiful, how would you choose?"

This is completely different from the question style of "Magic Mirror"... Klein's mouth moved, his thoughts turned, and it took him nearly ten seconds to answer:

"My wisdom is not enough to judge this matter, I will appoint a wiser person to give the answer."

How can such a proposition be answered by itself? He added gritted his teeth in his heart.

"...Who is the wiser person?" The giant face on the stele asked blankly for a few seconds.

Klein replied solemnly:

"Of course our king."

The stele was dumbfounded, and it took a while before he opened his mouth and said:

"Well, even if you answer, you can go over."

Klein immediately jumped over the strange stone tablet and entered the cave ahead.

The floor of the cave is paved with large stone slabs that have been weathered for a long time. There are murals on the sides and above, telling stories about giants and dragons, demon wolves, aliens, demons, and phoenixes. The style of painting is rough, The color is dim, but extremely expressive.

While examining the murals, Klein walked forward and found clumps of withered weeds, as well as many rough gravel located between the stone slabs and under the murals.

And the feeling that the water here is passing away, and the life is declining, the deeper it goes, the more insubstantial it becomes.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Klein saw an open gray-blue door, and there were four or five-meter-tall giants standing on both sides of the door.

The giants guarding here are different from Grossel and the others. They wear hard and gorgeous iron black armor and a sturdy helmet with a unique shape, just like two huge statues.

They didn't stop Klein, and allowed him to pass through the gate and enter the hall inside.

This hall is not too wide, and the edges around it are clearly visible. The whole hall can accommodate about fifty or sixty giants.

Klein was observing the environment when his feet suddenly vibrated, and then the entire hall seemed to be pulled by an invisible hand and climbed rapidly.

He swayed a little and then stood firm. He saw the gray-black stone wall at the gate flash past and continue to swipe down.

In about ten seconds, there was a clanging sound, and the hall stopped going up.

At this time, there is no longer a cave and tunnel outside the door, but a grand palace supported by stone pillars.

Klein quickly left the original hall and looked around with great interest.

"Is this the version of the 'elevator' in the King's Court of Giants? This seems to be the place where the guards live. Outside there are long tables taller than humans and oversized chairs. There are rooms on both sides, neatly arranged. There are big beds..." Klein scanned the various things in the hall, and finally stopped on a mural.

The main character of this mural is a giant wearing silver full-body armor. Because there is no comparison, Klein has no way of knowing how tall he is.

The giant stood on the edge of the cliff, with the long sword in his hand pointing upwards obliquely, and the surface of the body glowed with obvious light, shining on the surroundings like the rising sun.

Many giants knelt around on one knee, as if praying and worshiping, as if waiting for a gift.

The eldest son of the King of Giants, "God of Dawn" Badhir? Klein looked at the face of the protagonist of the mural in thought, only to see that it was blocked by a mask, and only the eyes showed a ray of light like the morning sun.

Like the "God of War" statue in Backlund's underground ruins, its face is completely hidden behind the mask... Heh, the "Queen of Mysteries" said that the current "God of War" is a giant who survived ancient times, so The headquarters of their church, the "Twilight Hall", is very similar to the "Giant King's Court"... Could it be the eldest son of the Giant King, the "God of Dawn", who escaped the destruction of the King's Court, and in a certain stage took back the authority that belonged to his father? Klein boldly guessed, but he didn't have any evidence or clues.

Based on the corresponding relationship, he looked at the other wall, where there was also a mural, but the protagonist was no longer the "God of Dawn" Badher, but a female giant with leather armor on her upper body and a long skirt on her lower body.

The female giant stood sideways, her face was soft, she stared down with one eye, her long dark brown hair draped all the way to her vest.

She spread out her right hand, holding ears of wheat, fruits and other items, surrounded by golden fields, clear lake water, trees full of fruits and brightly colored mushrooms.

"Queen of giants, 'Goddess of Harvest' Omebella?" Klein looked around, but couldn't find the mural representing the giant king Almir.

This is a remote guard residence, so there is no image of the ancient god? Then, if you go out from here, you should be inside the "Giant King's Court"... Klein cautiously walked towards the door, and used the method he used in the dream world of the ruins of the gods to falsely activate "creeping hunger", relying on " The power of the "living corpse" opened the door.

However, there was no palace frozen in the dusk as he had imagined outside, but a gray world, and the front seemed to have turned into a cliff, and the bottom could not be seen at all.

"According to Miss 'Justice''s previous experience, this should be the boundary of the dream, and then it can only go down, into Grossel's subconscious, and finally reach the ocean of collective subconsciousness... Miss 'Justice' is for the humans in her area A spiritual dragon was found in the sea of ​​subconsciousness, then, in the world in the book created by the "Dragon of Illusion", what exists in the sea of ​​subconsciousness?" Klein thought, and the gray fog in front of him materialized A staircase descended.

This ladder is not vertical, twists and turns, and goes deep into the gray, deep, invisible bottom, and the spiritual world where the details cannot be seen clearly.
