Chapter 1062: "Teaching" Online

Klein glanced at Leonard and smiled.

"The targets aren't demigods. They've only 'lived' to this day due to

some sort of influence. This is also the secret I wish to discover

through dreams."

He deliberately emphasized the word "lived."

Without waiting for Leonard to respond, Klein continued, "The aristocrat

from the Fourth Epoch is a member of the Zoroast family. You might be

able to use his dream to learn more about Pallez Zoroast."

Old Man's descendant... Leonard's heart stirred as he looked forward to

the proposal that Klein raised.

Although he had gotten along rather well with Pallez Zoroast and

gradually built some trust in this angel, he still held the most basic

level of vigilance against him. After all, "He" was an outsider who

lived in his body.

At that moment, Klein added, "For now, don't mention this matter to

Pallez Zoroast."

Do you think I'm such an unreliable person? Leonard grumbled inwardly as

he replied, "There's no need to remind me."

Seeing that Leonard had agreed, Klein smiled and said, "Get me a few

drops of your blood when you return. This is necessary to explore the

dreams."

He didn't specifically mention how to give the blood to him. After all,

Leonard knew at least two methods. Firstly, he could sacrifice it to Mr.

Fool and request that "He" bestow it to The World. The other was to

summon the messenger of mysterious origins and place the blood inside a

bottle, sending it over with a letter.

"Blood..." Leonard subconsciously repeated the word.

In mysticism, one's blood was an important item. It was best not to give

one's blood to others; otherwise, they might die without knowing the

reason. Sometimes, death wasn't the most terrifying outcome that could

happen.

After a brief moment of hesitation, Leonard nodded.

"When will the exploration begin?"

Klein was prepared for this question as he replied, "Late Sunday night,

close to midnight."

He wanted to give Miss Justice time to converge her spirituality and

familiarize herself with her abilities.

"Alright." Leonard didn't say anything else.

Following that, Klein seriously explained skills in sophistry so that

the dear poet knew how to pacify his grandpa after returning.

After returning to the real world, Leonard was deliberating over his

words when he heard Pallez Zoroast's slightly-aged voice:

"Why did your former colleague look for you? Is there anything that

cannot be explained in a letter?"

Leonard adjusted his sitting posture and chuckled.

"He's afraid that the letter will be leaked. After all, it might involve

that person."

Just as he finished his sentence, Leonard inwardly mumbled, Of course,

the most important thing is to be wary of you. What I see is equivalent

to what you see...

"That person..." Pallez Zoroast seemed to understand who he was

referring to.

"Yeah." Leonard picked up a cup on the table and drank a mouthful of malt

beer. "He found an ascetic from the Third Epoch. He hopes to learn the

history of that epoch through his dream."

What Leonard said was the truth, but it was only a portion of the truth.

This was the skill that Klein had specially taught him.

"An ascetic from the Third Epoch? He's still alive?" Pallez Zoroast

asked in surprise.

Of course, "He" wasn't too surprised. After all, at "His" level, even if

"He" didn't grasp a hundred methods that allowed people to live from the

Third Epoch, "He" knew at least five or six methods. The easiest way was

to steal the time or life of others to imbue it into a target.

"He's likely still alive, but has a very special condition," Leonard

explained what he knew.

Pallez Zoroast fell silent for two seconds before saying with a chuckle,

"Is that so? Then I can only wish you the best in not seeing scenes you

shouldn't see in the dream. Of course, your former colleague is

protected by an existence of Concealment, so he must be prepared."

Leonard didn't respond to the topic. He suddenly exclaimed, "Old man,

are you actually not the least bit curious? Don't you want to know what

the true deities were like in the Third Epoch, or the cause of the

Cataclysm?"

This was the second technique in sophistry that Klein taught him. Rather

than being asked, it was better to take the initiative to ask questions.

"I can roughly guess what's going on," Pallez Zoroast replied with a

sigh. He then scoffed. "You took too much initiative to control the flow

of our conversation today. This is very different from your past

behavior. This means that you have a secret you're hiding deep down. Not

bad, it's much better than the past. At least it's not something that

can be seen through at once."

Leonard's expression froze.

Pallez immediately chuckled.

"See, I just gave it a try and you exposed yourself. You still lack

training.

Your former colleague is really... Tsk..."

Leonard could only respond with a dry chuckle. He put down his cup and

leaned forward. He then picked up a silver ritual dagger and cut open a

wound, causing a few drops of blood to drip out.

Meanwhile at Earl Hall's residence, Audrey was also holding a dagger

with gems embedded in it. She was preparing to fulfill the promise of

providing help for free. She moved the tip of the dagger towards the

back of her hand.

"The pain is very mild...

The pain is very mild..." As she hypnotized herself, she exerted force

and tore open a wound.

It was currently impossible to tear her skin without using strength,

even if she didn't reveal her dragon scales.

On Sunday night, after attending a ball, Klein returned to 160 Boklund

Street. He made up an excuse that he was feeling tired and needed to

sleep early.

In the wee hours of the night, he got out of bed, set up a ritual, and

summoned himself.

After some work, he sat in the seat that belonged to The World Gehrman

Sparrow. He confirmed that once the summoning ended, he could use the

gray fog's level and standing to forcefully extricate himself from

Groselle's Travels.

At that moment, in front of him were three metal bottles and a silver

mask.

The former was filled with his, Leonard's, and Audrey's blood, while the

latter was sacrificed by Miss Justice ahead of time. As she knew that

Mr. Star would be involved in the exploration of the dream this time,

she planned on wearing Lie the entire time to mask her face and avoid

her identity from being uncovered.

After examining it for a while, Klein made the hard-covered, deep-brown

Groselle's Travels to fly out of the junk pile and land on the long

bronze table. At the same time, he placed the Unshadowed Crucifix into

his body.

Following that, he pulled Justice Audrey and The Star Leonard above the

gray fog.

Two dark red beams shot up at the same time, forming rather blurry

figures.

Audrey and Leonard cast their gazes at the bottom of the long, mottled

table and sized up the items in front of Mr. World.

Then, their attention was drawn to the ancient book.

Audrey's eyes darted around as she curiously asked, "Our exploration

this time is related to this book?"

Yes, our targets are inside this book," Klein replied with a smile.

"Inside the book?" Leonard asked in surprise.

Even though he was a Red Glove, and had also read a large number of

supernatural case files, he had never heard of communicating with

characters in a book.

Klein nodded slightly and said, "Yes, this is a magical book. Inside it,

there is a world that was 'envisioned.' What happens in that world

becomes the book's contents."

"Envisioned?" Audrey acutely grasped a key phrase, linking it to its

synonyms.

She had only just learned a few days ago from Mr. World that the

Spectator pathway's Sequence 0 was called Visionary, and she knew very

well that the King of Dragons, the ancient god, Ankewelt, was the Dragon

of Imagination.

After some deliberation, Klein said, "My description might not be

accurate. It might be an 'envisioned' world or a true dream. The only

thing I can confirm is that it was created by an ancient god from the

Second Epoch, the Dragon of Imagination Ankewelt. I obtained it from

Vice Admiral Iceberg."

Ancient god's relic... It's no wonder that it can make a giant and elf

from the Second Epoch, a Third Epoch ascetic, a Fourth Epoch human

aristocrat, and Fifth Epoch Loenese soldier survive till now... Leonard

came to a realization as he couldn't help but size up The World Gehrman

Sparrow. He couldn't imagine what kind of experiences Klein had ever

since he left Tingen.

At this moment, Klein looked around and pushed the Lie mask to Miss

Justice as he said, "Let's head on in."

"Alright." Audrey put on the silver mask.

Leonard looked around and nodded.

"Okay."

Klein immediately picked up the three metal bottles and poured out some

of the blood inside, smearing it on the cover of Groselle's Travels.

So this is what the blood was for... Just as this thought flashed

through Audrey's mind, she saw a white snowy storm.

Amidst snowflakes the size of down feathers and a biting cold wind, a

city that was more than 15 meters tall stood nearby. A soldier wearing

leather armor on-guard by the gates was huddled in a spot that was

immune to the wind and snow. As long as there weren't any merchant

convoys, he wouldn't head forward to block any ordinary pedestrians.

"This... This is a world that was completely 'envisioned'... It's like

it's real." Leonard looked around as he spread out his palm and caught

several snowflakes. He felt the coldness of its touch before they

quickly melted into water.

After confirming the environment, Leonard suddenly realized something.

Klein was maintaining the image of the cold and refined Gehrman Sparrow.

Miss Justice wore a silver mask, revealing the bottom of her face, green

eyes, and blonde hair, making it impossible to imagine her actual

appearance.

As for himself, he didn't disguise himself at all...

This was a habit of official Beyonders. They openly carried out missions

without any disguises.

Mr. Star really is laid-back, and his hair is combed very casually. It's

such a pity. Otherwise, with his looks, he can be a model on the covers

of magazines... As a noble lady who had seen too many handsome men,

Audrey politely glanced at him before retracting her gaze without making

any excessive observations.

Klein chuckled inwardly and pointed at the city in the snowstorm.

"Our first target is the ascetic, Mr. Snowman, from the Third Epoch."

This was the person most likely to have a link to Amon and "His"

brother!

According to Klein's plan, after Snowman would be the fourth-generation

aristocrat, Mobet. This was because Giant Groselle and Elf Siatas

involved matters at much higher levels, and there was a high chance of

there being an accident. Therefore, it was safer leaving them at the end

of the schedule.

After the exploration of the four people's subconscious via their

dreams, they would then enter the sea of collective subconscious in

search of any possible secrets.
