Klein was startled and instinctively turned his body to the side, not leaving his back to Leo Master who was trembling with fear in the storage room.
He could no longer be sure that there was nothing wrong with the "prisoner" in the linen robe!
At this time, the knight wearing black full body armor and with the same face as Leo Master had bright red eyes and raised the dark and broad straight sword with both hands.
Push!
He took a step forward and slashed forward, so fast that Klein could hardly catch it with his eyes.
Klein, who was also facing sideways to him, subconsciously raised the "Poseidon's Scepter", causing the blue-green gem on the top to light up at the same time.
Woo!
A real hurricane arose out of nowhere, surrounding Klein layer by layer, protecting him in the eye of the storm.
Swish! A stream of black light slashed over, and the violent wind collapsed layer by layer, shooting out in all directions, shaking the entire hall.
Boom!
Under the dark sword, the hurricane made an explosive sound and turned into a shock wave, flooding the area, lifting all the piled up debris and carrying them into the air.
This violent collision clearly shook his dream. Klein became dazed and rolled twice involuntarily.
thump!
He fell from the bed in his room to the deck and opened his eyes.
That "Black Saint" is really strong... Or rather, I have never really used the "Sea God's Scepter" in the real world, so I cannot restore its full power in my dream... Wait! It's still dark! Klein suddenly noticed a problem:
At this time, there is no midday sunlight shining in through the window!
His awakening was caused by a fierce confrontation in his dream, not a natural change!
In other words, he had to fall asleep immediately, otherwise he would most likely disappear in the dark night and no one would find him!
As the thought flashed through his mind, Klein supported himself with his right hand, bounced up, flew to his bed, and lay down steadily on it.
Then, he visualized countless superimposed balls of light and quickly entered a dream.
During this process, Klein's eyes swept across the window and vaguely saw that the night outside was deep and cold, quiet and peaceful, without any evil smell.
At the same time, he vaguely felt that there was a fog covering the sea in the distance, and in the fog, there was a spire church with a very ancient architectural style. It was completely black, without a bell tower, and black crows were circling on the top of the church, as if they were commemorating or mourning something.
There are many buildings scattered around the church, including ordinary two-story houses, simple wooden houses, a bakery with a sign hanging on it, and a gray-white mill powered by a water wheel... Passersby walk in the streets and alleys, their figures are vague and difficult to identify.
Mirage? The source of danger at night? All the missing people have lost their minds. Where have they gone? Klein woke up from his dream, and the questions he had accumulated before subconsciously flashed through his mind.
Then, he forced himself to gather his thoughts and took out the "Scepter of Poseidon" from the "special area of the spiritual world"!
He remembered that when he came out of the dream before, he was fighting fiercely with the "Black Saint"!
The slightly dim golden light shone into Klein's eyes, and everything suddenly became clear.
What he saw was no longer the tall knight in black full body armor, nor was it Leo Master in a linen robe, but a row of floor-to-ceiling windows facing the setting sun.
The window was very clean, and under the sunlight outside, it exuded an indescribable purity.
Next to the windows are long wooden tables and brown armchairs. Further away are rows of bookshelves filled with a variety of books.
Library? A large library? Every time I enter this dream world, I will be randomly sent to a different place within a certain range? Klein carefully observed the surroundings for a while and confirmed that this place was safe for the time being. There was no so-called "Black Saint" and no strange evil creatures.
Holding the "Scepter of Poseidon", he walked to the floor-to-ceiling window first and looked at the environment outside.
The first thing that caught his eye was the magnificent complex of buildings covering the opposite mountain. The huge palace, majestic spires and towering city walls were all frozen in the dusk, which was extremely visually shocking.
Even though it was not the first time he had seen it, Klein still held his breath and quietly admired this miraculous sight for several seconds.
He immediately shifted his gaze and looked towards the cliff. He saw the high walls of the Black Monastery and the withered trees beside the boulder. However, due to the obstruction, he could not confirm whether Admiral of the Stars Cattleya was still there.
Sure enough, within a certain range, I didn't leave this area... Did I go deep into the Black Monastery? Klein looked away thoughtfully and walked step by step to the bookshelves.
He didn't have time to think about what happened to the "Black Saint" and Leo Master in his previous dream, because he had to confirm his current situation first.
After approaching the bookshelf, Klein discovered that the books on it all had their own names, not the vague ones in normal dreams.
"The Spirituality of Life", "The Book of Spells", "The Flower of the Heart", "Inner and Outer Universe and the Real Starry Sky"... These are all books in the field of mysticism... Klein reached out carefully and pulled out the "Book of Spells".
He quickly flipped through it and found that he had mastered most of the content in the book, but there were also a few parts that were of a type he had never come across before.
I can confirm that this is not my dream... Ms. Hermit's? The knowledge that she was chased and instilled with was manifested in the library of the Black Monastery? Klein had no desire to explore outside. He took the "Book of Spells" back to the French window, found a seat, and sat down. In the light of dusk, he carefully flipped through it.
In a dream, you can even learn! He took out a pen and paper and started writing and drawing while he was complaining to himself.
Just as he was absorbed in this, the light suddenly became brighter, and brilliant white dominated his vision.
Klein opened his eyes naturally, and was warmed by the sunlight coming in from outside.
"I've only read a few pages. I was planning to quickly skim through them and then use the method of 'Dream Divination' to recall them..." Klein sat up in annoyance, feeling that he had missed a great opportunity to learn, because he couldn't be sure whether he would randomly end up in the Black Monastery's library next time.
He smoothed his hair, put on his hat, and went down to the deck. While observing the environment, he recalled the dream he had had before:
"That prison is most likely also in the Black Monastery, um, possibly in the underground part. In other words, the Black Saint and Leo Master are in some ruins or ruins not far away.
“No wonder ‘Mercury Snake’ Will Auceptin told me not to try to explore, those places are really full of dangers!
"How come the 'Black Saint' and Leo Master look exactly alike? This dream is a bit weird. Also, that full-length mirror is also very magical and evil. It actually copied a Gehrman Sparrow..."
Recalling this, Klein began to look for examples from his own experiences, using comparison to determine his train of thought.
This is called relying on experience.
Soon, he had an association, and thought of how he had used the "Nightmare Candle" to help Father Utravsky get rid of a split personality of "his past self" when he was in Backlund!
"Could it be that Leo Master himself is the 'Black Saint' of the Aurora Society?
"For some reason, he developed a split personality, with the good side of him and the evil side of him separated? Is that deep, closed, dark prison a reflection of his inner dreams?
"Yes, that full-length mirror! Leo Master said that if it was destroyed, he would disappear with it. And when I looked at the mirror, Gehrman Sparrow inside did take shape, and he was evil!
"No wonder I felt like I was in sage time after I killed Gehrman Sparrow in the mirror. It turned out that it was because I cleared some of the evil thoughts and evil intentions in my heart...
"Well, that full-length mirror may not be in the form of a mirror in the real world... This sea area clearly has extraordinary remnants of the 'Dreamer', which manifested many monsters that are not real but can kill people... And this belongs to the 'audience' path, so it is completely logical that there are relics that can separate good from evil and cause split personalities...
“Hehe, ‘Black Saint’ Leo Master is a high-ranking member of the Aurora Society. He must have been very evil originally, but that relic or that item activated his opposite side, which is the kindness hidden in his heart, causing his personality to split, and thus causing him to be trapped somewhere nearby.” Klein felt that he had roughly figured out the truth of the matter, and he felt a little regretful.
It was a pity that I was not able to enter the same place the second time. Otherwise, relying on the "Poseidon Scepter" and the good side of Leomaster, I might have been able to defeat his evil side, the "Black Saint". However, the damage in the dream world would extend to reality...
In this way, a kind saint who knows the Aurora Society very well will appear and be able to effectively combat this evil cult organization... Klein took a silent breath, half turned his body, and looked at Anderson Hood who had just come out of the cabin.
"Where did you go in your dream? I didn't even see you." The "strongest hunter" asked in a familiar manner.
Klein frowned secretly and asked back:
"Why should I be seen by you?"
Anderson was stunned for a moment and said:
"Where I was when I left the dream, shouldn't I still be there when I reenter it?"
...Is there another factor that causes me to randomly appear in certain places within a certain range? Is there something special about me? Klein found that the problem was more complicated than he had imagined.
He considered and said:
"I was somewhere else after I entered the dream."
"Strange..." Anderson frowned, seeming confused as well.
Without waiting for Klein to speak, he said again thoughtfully:
"There's another strange thing."
"What?" Klein asked in cooperation.
Anderson looked around and said:
"The last time I was pretending to be a canoe in that hall, I heard the sound of a door opening and footsteps going out from deep inside, but when I looked up, I saw nothing.
"I originally thought it was someone from this ship, but then I felt that it was not the case."
