Chapter 21 Iron-Blooded 10-Character Club

On the surface, the town of "Kabas" is just like the ruins on the main peak of the Honakis Mountains, and there is no danger...

But as long as certain conditions are triggered, you will enter the so-called "other world" and enter the state of "nightmare", and as you gradually go deeper into the dream, it will become more and more terrifying until you reach the place "hidden" in the dream - such as , Kingdom of Darkness, and the "replica" where the Queen of Disaster is now imprisoned.

If my guess is correct, the conditions for triggering "terror" and "disaster" in the real-life "Kabas" town lie in this church!

It is both a shelter for the villagers from their nightmares and the source of the town's crisis.

I remember Miss Justice mentioned to me when we were alone that there was a long-standing proverb in that town: "When it's dark, go to church and keep silent."

Although the villagers are very strange about the order of this sentence, after all, generally speaking, "dark" should come before "sleep", but for some reason, it has been circulated in the town, generation after generation, and has never stopped.

But now it seems that someone has clearly imprinted in the subconscious of the villagers a way to deal with the "nightmare", giving them a chance to survive in the face of dream monsters.

I just don’t know who built this “imitation”… It doesn’t look like Russell’s handiwork…

Could it be a "Bishop of Fear" or a "Secret Servant"?

Abner once again explored the surface dreamland of the town of "Kabas", but found nothing. Abner no longer delayed, used the "Dream Walker" ability to "dream jump", and soon came to a servant of Professor Michel's house. in the dream, and then returned to reality, meeting Xio.

Xio looked at Abner who had returned safely, put away the weapon he had been holding, and asked with concern: "How is it?"

"It has been solved for the time being..." Abner briefly described what had just happened, and then added, "And I have given Professor Michel a hint to go to the Church of the Night. He should not make any mistakes again in the future. into that dangerous dream."

After listening, Xiu said thoughtfully: "You seem to be very interested in things related to the 'God of Luck' and the 'Queen of Natural Disasters'..."

In fact, I am also very interested in the things of Giuseppe, Daniel, Alvin, Vicente and Rhine...after all, I have to find out what they have done...otherwise, who knows what the former me will do to the current me. What kind of hole are you digging?

Apart from anything else, just thinking about the gods and angels who may have descended from me... makes my scalp numb!

Of course, even though he was complaining in his heart, he couldn't say these things to Xiu for the time being. Abner just blamed it on the mission given by the Mother Goddess and covered it up.

Fortunately, the matter involved gods, so Xio didn't doubt anything.

At this time, the sky was gradually getting brighter. After the two found a cafe to have breakfast together, they parted ways on the surface.

Xio wanted to go home to visit her mother and brother before the first train entered the station. Abner, on the pretext that he had something to do, went into the dark and followed Xio quietly, trying to find out part of her "destiny" The source of danger encountered in "tributaries".

It's not that he doesn't want to protect Xio directly, but if the "prophet" ends up personally, Xio's "fate" will become unpredictable, and he may encounter bigger problems that are not within Abner's observation. Danger.

As for the "alchemist" and "floating city" mentioned by Klein, they can only be shelved for now. Anyway, the master and the underground space will not disappear in a short time.

…

Nas, inside the floating city tower fixed by metal brackets.

Klein was very interested in the "Floating City" at first, and he visited around it accompanied by the blond little girl doll, but soon he found that most of the facilities here were vacant, and even the "power room" was still empty. Just for decoration...

The puppet said that Master Klaus had not understood the meaning of the power symbols in the "Floating City" after decades of research, so he planned to change it to a steam engine instead...

Unfortunately, it is completely impossible to lift such a large mountain to the sky with the current power of steam engines.

However, in the eyes of Klein, a "master" who often plucks the wool of the mysterious space above the gray fog, the structure of those power symbols is more like runes that leverage the power of a certain person or persons...

Just when Klein was bored and wanted to divine the origin of those symbols, Jane suddenly found him and said with a smile: "The improvement of your extraordinary item has been completed. Master Claus asked me to come to you."

"Didn't you say it would take a day?" Klein interrupted the idea of ​​divination above the gray mist and asked in surprise.

"Because the process went smoothly, it was completed ahead of schedule." Jane explained, then asked with a smile, "Have you not visited enough?"

how come? This place is even more boring than the "Miracle City" Levished. After all, there is a more interesting "Honesty Hall" there.

While complaining in his mind, Klein maintained the character of Hermann on the surface. While following Jane's footsteps, he said as if unintentionally: "Speaking of which, Miss Jane, you should be a crew member of the Future, right? How could that be?" Be Master Claus's 'agent'."

"Abner has even told you this? You are really very good friends..." Jian was a little surprised when he heard this and sighed.

Girl, what are you sighing about? Will Mr. "Ta" also have male friends around him? While Klein was slandering, he said with Gehrman Sparrow's polite attitude and words:

"In fact, Ms. Cattleya and I are also friends. Later, we will take the Future to the almost illusory and dangerous ocean in the easternmost part of the Sunia Sea."

"Are you and the captain also friends?" Jane was even more surprised. She looked back at Klein several times, until she saw him taking out a pure crystal ball, and then a few inexplicable rays of light flashed in his eyes, and then she smiled, " The captain gave you all the contact crystals... You guys really know each other...

"In this case, you are not an outsider, so it doesn't matter if you tell me.

"The opportunity to work for Master Claus is actually very popular in 'Elemental Dawn'! Because as long as you serve for half a year, you can get an opportunity to ask the master to personally take action.

"The ceremony for me to advance to Sequence 5 requires building an environment that temporarily blocks the underworld, so I requested the 'Queen' and obtained the position of 'Agent'."

The Queen...the Queen of Mystery? It seems that the information Abner told me is correct, and the news of the break between "Star Admiral" and "Mysterious Queen" is false.

However, Miss Jian, is it really okay for you to tell such important information directly? Is it just because I am a friend of Abner and Cattleya? Are you too hasty? !

I have to let Abner persuade Miss Jane later.

Could it be that the ladies on the "Corpse Collector" path all speak very distinctively? Ms. Dai Li is always quick to tell jokes, while Ms. Jian is straightforward and straightforward?

While complaining, Klein and Jane had arrived at the entrance of Master Claus's laboratory.

After the routine deodorizing procedure, Klein saw Klaus who had heavy dark circles under his eyes but was in high spirits.

“Because the level of power that seals this item is very high, the process of upgrading the ‘Creeping Hunger’ was much smoother than I imagined.

"However, correspondingly, in order to prevent it from destroying the original seal structure after suddenly gaining strength, its improvement effect is limited..." Klaus drank the red tea and introduced slowly.

"What specific improvements are there?" Klein asked in a deep voice, maintaining a bit of Gehrman Sparrow's unique coldness.

“First of all, it has been upgraded from being able to herd only five souls to seven, and it can herd up to one Sequence 4 demigod soul.

"Secondly, you can use it to use the two abilities of 'Hiding Shadows' and 'Dominating Shadows' at the demigod level... but you need to feed him one person each time you use it.

“Third, the connection when switching to grazing ‘souls’ will be faster than before, with almost no ‘delay’ and the switch can be seamless.

"Finally, when you herd your soul again, the abilities you gain no longer depend entirely on luck, but you can choose by yourself." Klaus gave a brief introduction, and it could be heard from his tone that he was not able to "black It is actually a pity that many abilities contained in the characteristics of "Knight" are integrated into "Crawling Hunger".

But Klein is already very satisfied with this. He feels that he has the upgraded "Creeping Hunger" in hand. With the "Funeral Blade" and the newly acquired "Phoenix" revolver, even with the "Tower" in front of the demigod, "Sir, you may not lose if you try your best.

My current character is Gehrman Sparrow, a slightly crazy adventurer and bounty hunter... Klein held back the joy in his heart and nodded as usual: "Very good, for this item. I'm very pleased with the upgrade! Thank you very much, Master Klaus."

"Since you have my token, I will naturally fulfill your request." Master Klaus waved his hand, then with a smile on his face, he said, "What's more, the 'wolf fish' you brought is Sunia The authentic products produced on the island are stronger and more delicious than the local ones in Nas!"

Delicious... The corners of Klein's mouth twitched. He found that he couldn't look at the word directly, so he had to say goodbye after exchanging a few words.

After Jane sent Klein out of this underground space in a carriage and returned again, she raised her head and said to someone unknown: "Is there any problem with him? If there is a problem, why did he ask me to tell him about the 'Elemental Dawn' tell him?"

At this time, a pea vine suddenly hung down in the air, and then a soft but emotionless voice came: "We need to observe again..."

…

Backlund, in the villa at No. 28 Jinster Street.

Forsi picked up the "Astrologer" Extraordinary Characteristics coin that he had bought a long time ago and carefully put it into the container with the supplementary ingredients...

Soon, a cup of dark blue viscous liquid that seemed to sparkle with starlight appeared in front of her eyes. This was the prepared "Astrologer" potion.

I summarized the 'Code of Magic Masters' in mid-March, and I completely digested the magic potion last week. If it weren't for the lack of some auxiliary materials, I would have become an "astrologer" three days ago... However, now It’s not too late!

After muttering in his mind, Foersi picked up the cup containing the potion and drank the liquid in one gulp.

After a while, after sorting out the "knowledge" directly brought by the potion, she found helplessly that even though she was promoted to Sequence 7, she was still a "weak chicken" in combat.

Moreover, because potions are prepared using properties as the main ingredients, this means that I have to digest one more "apprentice" and "trick master"... It seems that I can't quit my job in the circus for the time being... Fortunately The regiment leader decided to stay in Backlund for an extra month or two. This time should be enough for me to digest it.

As for the method of expelling characteristics by giving birth to children that she had asked about in the Tarot Club before, she just thought about it and then abandoned it. After all, in the middle and low sequences, it is faster to digest it through acting.

Thinking of this, she put on a pitched black hat and a long skirt of the same color, dressed up like people's stereotype of a witch, and went out to the Sindis Circus in Jowood District.

…

Stourne Steam Railway Station, East Chestershire.

Abner, who was hiding in the dark and watching Xio check the passengers one by one, suddenly raised his head.

Because in the clear sky, under a few leisurely white clouds, a blazing white fire flew over at high speed from far to near!

Demigod of the "Hunter" path?

So unabashed, completely unconcerned about extraordinary power appearing in front of people...

A member of the "Iron Cross"?

Is he the source of the crisis in Xio's fate?
