Chapter 122 Unreasonable Details



"Who is Groselle here?" In the dream, Leonard looked ahead at a loss.

There was a huge bonfire, surrounded by a dozen gray-blue-skinned vertical cyclops that looked the same to him.

Frankly speaking, without the ability of the Faceless Man, I would not be able to recognize them... To me, if there were no differences in age, hairstyle, height, scars, clothing, and maturity, all giants would look the same... Klein muttered a few words in his heart and turned his head to look at Miss Justice very calmly, as if to say that since you are an "audience", this should not be difficult for you.

Audrey raised her hand and pointed at a giant who was drinking and occasionally shouting a few times in praise:

“That’s Groselle.

"It seems that in the customs of the giants, the way to express affirmation and praise is not by clapping, but by roaring. The louder the roar, the higher the degree of praise."

Miss Justice is now acting like a folklorist... Fortunately, she was just yelling, not singing, otherwise the noise would be even worse. Obviously, the giants here are not good at music, and their yelling just now had no sense of rhythm... Klein nodded slightly and said to Audrey Justice:

"Begin the guidance."

When Audrey stepped forward, Leonard stepped back, raised his right hand, rubbed his chin and said:

"Tell me, in the Second Age, which extraordinary race widely possessed the extraordinary characteristics of the 'Night' path?"

“Isn’t it a demon wolf?” Klein glanced at Leonard, wondering if his poet classmate had contracted the traditional disease of the Nighthawks and had a bad memory.

"I know." Leonard maintained his previous posture and said with a slightly strange expression, "Then how do they play the role of 'Midnight Poet'? Or, the name of the potion at that time was 'Midnight Screamer'?"

"In the beginning, there was no name for the potion..." Klein was accidentally led astray by Leonard. The scene of this guy squatting on the ground and howling at the moon suddenly appeared in his mind. He couldn't help but whisper, "This may be more suitable for you. You don't need to write a poem. It's very simple."

Leonard twitched his lips and said:

"There are different types of poets. I am a chanting type."

As the two chatted, Audrey's guidance gradually progressed, and Groselle's dream successively showed the "Decay Forest", "Desolate Tunnel", a corner of the "Giant King's Court", Dawn Town, the Kingdom of Gold and other places.

Since Groselle was not a servant of the Giant King and other "gods", he could only occasionally see these high-ranking beings when he was on duty in the "Decaying Forest" or certain palaces and passages in the royal court. He dared not look directly at them and had to kneel on one knee and lower his head to greet them. Therefore, the images of the Giant King Olmir, the Giant Queen Omibella, and the Giant King's eldest son, the "God of Dawn" Badhair, were not directly presented in the dream, but only existed in the form of portraits.

Similarly, Groselle knew very few secrets, and his grasp of history and world affairs was not as good as that of the "Elf Singer" Siatas. However, an interesting point is that in the "Giant King's Court" and the giant clan, the synonym for "traitor" is Sonia Solem. They claimed that it was this ancient god who betrayed the alliance and caused the death of Lilith, the ancestor of the blood clan.

Klein was skeptical because the hot-tempered Sonya Solem was obviously not good at this kind of thing.

The "Queen of Scourge" seemed to have the ability, but the problem was that it would be very difficult to hide her plans from her spouse, the real ancient god, Soniatholem... In comparison, it was more reasonable to say that the Giant King Ormir was the traitor... While Klein was making a rough analysis, Audrey changed the direction of guidance and tried to let Groselle show what he had seen and heard outside the "Giant King's Court."

Unfortunately, after the giant left the royal court and passed through Dawn Town, he arrived in the Kingdom of Gold not long after that and obtained the travel notes. After entering the book, he did not know much about the customs and people of the corresponding area.

"The most valuable piece of information at the moment is how to avoid the front and enter the interior from the Decaying Forest and the Desolate Tunnel after going deep into the area where the Giant King's Court is located from Afternoon Town." Audrey finished her guidance and walked back to Klein and Leonard. "This will be very useful for Little Sun and his team's subsequent exploration."

“Well, you can tell him this at the next party.” Klein nodded.

He was about to suggest entering the collective subconscious ocean of the world in the book through Groselle's dream, when Audrey suddenly looked back and said as if she was thinking:

"There's one detail that doesn't make sense."

"What details?" Leonard carefully recalled what he had just seen and heard, and did not find anything suspicious.

Audrey "Justice" glanced at "The World" and said:

"The Decaying Forest is where the Giant King Ormir's father and mother are buried. The rule that only that ancient god can enter is very unreasonable."

Klein originally didn't notice anything wrong with this detail, but after Miss Justice mentioned this, he immediately had some thoughts and said carefully:

"The Giant King's father and mother are the ancestors of the Giant Clan. Normally, they should be the objects of worship and sacrifice for the entire clan..."

"Yes, every race has a certain sentiment of ancestor worship, and the giants are no exception. From Groselle's dream, we can see that the guardians often worship the two ancestors outside the Decaying Forest." Audrey nodded in agreement, "If there are no other factors, the Giant King should occasionally organize the key training objects in the tribe to worship the ancestors, instead of restricting them to enter by themselves."

"Perhaps there is a great danger hidden in the 'Decay Forest'. Aren't the oldest giants crazy, violent, and irrational? After they die, their corpses pollute the surrounding environment and affect the entire forest. It is not difficult to understand." Leonard gave his own guess.

Audrey and Klein shook their heads at the same time, denying this statement.

"If it's just danger or pollution, Giant Queen Omybella and 'God of Dawn' Badhair can obviously resist it effectively. With the help of the Giant King, there will be almost no problem. But we are still not allowed to enter the 'Decay Forest', even if we follow the ancient god." Klein simply stated his opinion and speculation, "Perhaps it's not just the parents of Giant King Ormir who are buried there, there are other secrets as well."

"This could be a big possibility." Audrey nodded seriously.

Her green eyes turned slightly, revealing a hint of curiosity, as she was wearing a silver-white mask.

"If that's true, what would be the secret that must not be known to my wife, children, gods, or tribe members? Interesting..." Leonard smiled and let his thoughts wander.

After discussing for a while, the three of them hurried through the "Desolate Tunnel" and came to the interior of the "Giant King's Court", trying to enter the palaces that were solidified with the dusk light.

According to Klein's experience, this is actually the road to the edge of Groselle's dream.

This time, he didn't need to fake the activation of "Creeping Hunger" and use the power of "Zombies" to open the heavy door of the giant guard's residence. "Justice" Audrey directly influenced the dream, causing the more than ten-meter-high door to open backwards on its own as light as paper. Due to the rejection of the "No Dark Cross", Klein was not actually wearing the human leather gloves.

Outside the door was a gray world, and in front was no longer the "Giant King's Court", but a cliff.

After a brief discussion about the various situations that might be encountered when entering the ocean of collective subconsciousness and making corresponding plans, Audrey materialized a staircase on the edge of the cliff.

The staircase twists and turns, going deeper into a spiritual world that is deep, gray, silent, and has no bottom in sight.

The three of them did not delay, stepped onto the stairs, and went down step by step.

In this lonely and quiet environment that makes people want to drive crazy, "Justice" Audrey would use "Calm" several times every time she went down a certain distance.

This not only soothed Klein, Leonard, and herself, but also soothed the subconscious of the gray-white cliff Groselle, so as to prevent the other party from becoming agitated and polluting the astral bodies or mental bodies of the three.

The countless rotten giant hands that Klein "encountered" last time did not appear again. Even the most unbearable loneliness, silence, and endless feelings in this spiritual world did not seem so scary because they were a small team and could talk to each other.

"This is the spiritual world, the realm of consciousness. It is indeed different from other things." "Star" Leonard looked around, as if he wanted to use a few lines of poetry to express how touched he was, but he finally chose to give up.

If it were some other place or some other mission, Klein might have asked the poet to keep quiet, but here, he felt that whatever he said was fine.

Audrey, the Justice, was also open to communication and said seriously:

"The feeling we get intuitively is the essence of this environment. The cliffs, cliff walls, and gray world we see are a reflection of our subconscious here. If it were another race, it might not be the same..."

"...Now I find psychology quite interesting." Leonard said with interest after listening.

Klein glanced at him and refrained from saying that with your personality and habits, you are really not suitable for the "audience" path.

In this conversation, the three of them didn't know how long they had been walking down, and finally they stepped on the solid but blurry gray ground.

Looking up from here, one can see rays of light swaying and flickering, which are dense and overlapping, forming an illusory sea.

Klein, Leonard, and Audrey were about to move forward when suddenly a "current" surged past, and a rather blurry figure of light stood up from it.

It was a gray-blue giant about six or seven meters tall, with leather with dragon scales wrapped around his chest and abdomen, and his exposed body was covered with all kinds of patterns, symbols and signs that were beyond the scope of normal senses and could not be described in words.

His single vertical eye was bloodshot, exuding an undisguised violent aura with an obvious tendency towards destruction, and he was biting a bloody human leg in his mouth.

This is a giant at the demigod level!

He is a phantom left in the ocean of collective subconsciousness, perhaps coming from an actual encounter of the ancestors of humans or other races, or perhaps from the observations of giants such as Groselle.

As soon as he appeared, that kind of crazy emotion spread to Klein and others like a contagious plague.

This is a world of direct contact between spirit, consciousness and mind!
