Mystery: Start with the Reader

The giant frost dragon "King of the North" Yurisian is not a demigod promoted through normal channels, but an out-of-control monster that has gathered many extraordinary frost characteristics. It may be comparable to a demigod in certain areas, but it has flaws in other aspects...

But at this moment, it was sleeping soundly in the mountain-like pile of treasures, and did not notice the arrival of the three uninvited guests at all.

However, the three Abners were not careless. After using some methods of divination, prophecy, or analysis to investigate, they finally concluded that unless the other party was harmed, they would not wake up.

"Perhaps it's because in the story of "Grossell's Travels", the characters of the protagonist team have not been assembled yet, and the plot progress has come to a standstill." Abner speculated based on the plot of the original work and the current situation.

Hearing this, Edwina nodded thoughtfully and said: "The last few pages of that travel book are indeed stuck together and cannot be opened...

"In other words, our way of 'entering' cannot 'advance' the plot?"

Klein played the role of "Gehrman" and directly revealed the "blasphemous card" in his hand. Then he pointed at the cards in the hands of the two "secret instructors" and stated in an emotionless tone. : "'Black Emperor', 'Error', 'Gate'."

Learning how to speak like Miss Sharon won't make you more "cute"... Abner complained in his heart, but he also understood what Klein meant:

The "Black Emperor" symbolizes the "distortion" of the rules, and the "error" reflects the "loopholes" of the world. How can the "door" opened based on the first two be the same as "normal" entry?

Russell's ritual arrangement was clearly opening a back door.

"Since it has been sleeping, let's not attack it for the time being... lest any bad changes happen... Moreover, the 'door' to go out is above its head. If it dies, there is no telling whether the Blasphemy Card can still be used. Open another door..." Abner thought for a while and suggested.

The main reason is that once the "King of the North" dies, the story will most likely end, and those on the protagonist team will probably die of old age as in the original work.

"Yes." Edwina nodded slightly. She took out a notebook, looked at the white snow outside the cave, and added, "Since this notebook that details how to enter here safely was released by Emperor Russell, At the home of soldier Long Zell...then, some of his arrangements may be on Long Zell's body.

"We might as well go find the 'protagonists' of the story first."

The main goal of their expedition was to find out what Russell had left behind here.

Klein thought about their suggestions for a while, and felt that there was no problem, so he nodded in agreement. However, before setting off, he stopped again and looked back at the giant frost dragon. He didn't know what he was thinking.

Abner, who was about to walk out of the cave, saw this scene and said with a smile: "Don't look at it, it is a 'fantasy'. If you can't get out of this world in the book, I can't help you complete the ritual of the 'Cunning Mage'" .

Having said this, he glanced at the treasures again and continued to joke, "Those gold coins and jewelry are also 'fantasy'."

Do I seem to be such a greedy person? Hmm... No, this guy may have guessed that Klein is also my vest, so he subconsciously thinks that I am poor?

Klein glanced at Abner and asked in a Hermann-like tone: "You seem to have some understanding of the world in "Grossell's Travels"?"

"Aren't you the same?" Abner smiled and said meaningfully, "When I said the word 'fantasy', you didn't have any doubts at all."

Moreover, based on my understanding of you, if you really don’t know anything about this travelogue, you will definitely not follow me and Edwina in so easily. However, Abner did not say this sentence.

"I got part of the information from a mirror." Klein said vaguely.

Before leaving the hotel, he had taken the time to summon Arrods to inquire about the travel diary, and learned that it first appeared in the dragon clan after the "Miracle City" Levished disappeared.

And this is almost directly about the suspect... The suspect dragon points to the "Dragon of Fantasy".

"It turns out to be Arrods..." Abner said pretending to be enlightened.

"Do you know Arrods?" Klein was really surprised this time. After all, the mirror was a sealed artifact of the Church of Steam, and as far as he knew, Mr. "Tower" had no "friends" in the Church of Steam.

"Haha, Stewart, the 'Secret Master' of the Church of Storms, has developed a secret technique to pray to 'Arrods', and it has spread widely in small circles... and Arrods is also willing to answer some questions. "Abner

Of course it is willing to answer. Every time it answers a question, it means someone is going to die! Klein cursed internally, and quickly thought of Dai Li. That lady was able to know about the captain's resurrection, and she probably also used this secret technique.

At this time, Edwina, who was listening, suddenly interrupted: "Arrods... what kind of secret technique is that?"

Her light blue eyes, as clear as spring water, contained a strong sense of curiosity.

"I can teach you when I get back... Now it's more important to explore." Abner coughed, brought the topic back to the "right path", and then took the lead to walk out of the cave where the dragon was entrenched.

Edwina didn't ask any more questions and followed silently.

Only Klein glanced at the intellectual and beautiful pirate general with pity, feeling that she was afraid that she would fall into the hands of Mr. "Tower", and that she might not be able to escape from "the clutches"...

After seeing both of them go out, he secretly tried the spell pointing to the "Great Master Above the Gray Mist" and found that he could still communicate with that mysterious space and was not isolated, which made him feel more relieved.

After all, when necessary, he can climb onto the gray fog and transform into a "Poseidon", which is equivalent to a demigod-level combat power.

While thinking about his thoughts, Klein also walked out of the cave, and then the strong wind with ice particles and goose feather snowflakes slapped him on the face and body, causing him to involuntarily move his body while looking at the surrounding environment. The ground was tense and he was shaking slightly.

"It's so...cold..." He almost cursed. He was sure that he was in an icy and snowy land with extremely low visibility. It was a completely different world from the warm cave just now.

He originally thought that Backlund's damp and cold winter was the most terrifying thing, but now he finally understood that the absolute low temperature and the knife-like wind were a fatal combination. Even if he had put on a sweater before coming here, the coat was still thick. The long dress I was wearing felt a little unbearable at this time.

He did not wear the "sun brooch" because it produced heat at the spiritual level, which was effective in a short period of time to resist the effects of intense cold and prevent the body from becoming stiff. The ice and snow environment is tantamount to suicide - the heat at the spiritual level will make the body open its pores and be in a summer state, removing the last layer of defense against low temperature, and even actively welcoming it.

At this time, he saw Abner who came out first and waved to him, asking him to come closer.

Without much hesitation, Klein hurriedly stepped forward, and soon realized that he had passed through a barrier, and the surrounding environment also became warmer.

"You are well prepared." Edwina is the least dressed among the three. After all, she only has a general understanding of the environment in the book, and her preparations are more focused on "combat."

"As a 'secret instructor' who often uses magical items to fly at high speeds, it is reasonable to develop a secret technique that can prevent wind and keep warm." After Abner laughed at himself, he turned to ask, "Which direction should we go?"

Edwina took out a mirror with a brass frame, seemed to sense it, and then pointed to the south-west direction and said: "There."

Abner didn't ask any questions, and directly simulated a "strong wind", dragging the bodies of the three of them, and flew in the direction directed by Edwina.

When he was at Sequence 7, he could rely on this ability to carry Xio and fly short distances. Now, even if there is no contact, it is not a big problem to carry three people.

Silent all the way, they quickly found a mountain peak under the guidance of Edwina.

After walking around a huge rock covered with thick ice, I saw a dark cave.

The three of them formed a triangular formation and entered cautiously. Then, in the wide and ventilated cave, next to a bonfire that emitted light and heat, they saw five figures sleeping in undressed clothes.

The most eye-catching thing is a four-meter-tall Cyclops. His skin is grey-blue, and his chest, abdomen and waist are covered with thick beast fur. The rest of the place is exposed, and even his feet lack protection. Even when he was sleeping, he still held a big sword that looked like a door panel.

Beside him, there were middle-aged men wearing extremely simple white robes, young Loen soldiers sleeping with their pillows on stones, men in their thirties wearing uncoordinated and asymmetrical clothes, and men lying on their backs one by one. A beautiful female elf in a man's arms.

"The giant Grossel... the Loen soldier Longzell... the remaining ascetics, the nobles and elves of the Solomon Empire of the Fourth Age have no specific names, only code names." Edwina said softly.

"Are Grossell and Ronzel the only ones with names? It seems that there is something wrong with the latter... This is the 'protagonist' treatment." Klein said as he stared at the young soldier in black armor. .

As the first character to enter this book, it is not surprising that Grossell has a name, but judging from the fact that they are sleeping, Ronzel cannot be the last... Therefore, he must have something special... and this specialness It was probably Russell or the "Disaster Seal" that had been imposed on him.

Abner observed with his "pure white eyes" for a while, then asked Edwina to borrow the notebook he got from Long Zell's house, and placed it on the sleeping Long Zell's chest.

Immediately afterwards, dreamlike symbols flashed across the book, integrated into Long Zell's body, and then opened a door between illusion and reality above him.

"Another door?" Klein glanced at the "door" a few times and said uncertainly, "This seems to lead to the dreamland... No, to be precise, it is the subconscious sea..."

"This book contains his family's longing for him, so it can lead us into his dream...I am afraid that what Russell really hides is connected to the soldier's dream."

It should be the kingdom of the "Dragon of Fantasy", right? Will it be the same as in the original work?

After analyzing this, Abner saw that the door seemed to be getting blurry. He quickly took out a card and whispered: "Blue Eyes White Dragon".

Immediately afterwards, a huge cyan dragon appeared in the spacious cave.

Abner did not let it reveal its true form, but added a layer of illusion "filter" to prevent Edwina from losing control by looking directly at the semi-mythical form.

As for Klein, he should be able to see the prototype of the Bone Dragon using the real vision of the "Origin Castle", but there is no big problem if he sees it above the gray fog.

Abner rode on the dragon's back and said to the other two people: "Come up, it's safer to ride him through the dreamland."

"Blue Eyes White Dragon?" Klein chewed on the name while stepping on the dragon's back.

Even though it’s in Hermes, that’s what it means...
