If the dream phase cannot be transformed again through the Wheel of Fortune, then what is the use of this secret message to Victor?
"It's really troublesome..."
After he woke up, he felt energetic, but it was at night, and the moon hung high outside the window, making it a clear night.
I went downstairs to take a drink of water. The living room was quiet. Will didn't go home today and didn't know what he had been busy with recently.
Victor first went to the study to check the accounts. There was still a steady income from the drinks sold in the drugstore, but other than that, there was no other account.
After making himself a pot of tea, Victor sat in front of the window and slowly drank the tea, looking at the carriage in the backyard.
There was a faint candlelight in the carriage, and a slender woman could be vaguely seen changing clothes.
"It's really troublesome..."
Victor complained again, not having the slightest fondness for the woman Eredin, let alone spying on her changing clothes.
He thought about something, suddenly returned to his room, put on his coat, wrapped Amanda's spine in a cloth bag, stuffed it into his coat, and then sneakily left the house.
Arriving at the dock area, Victor followed the path in his memory and found the familiar construction site.
After so long, there is still no sign of resumption of work in this area, which is a good thing for Victor, at least the letters will be moved.
Climbing up to the second floor, I came to the place where I met Mr. Question last time. The floor in front of me was still empty, without the iconic wooden wheelchair.
"I won't really change places..."
He murmured to himself and walked around the empty second floor. After a long time, he heard the sound of wheels rolling in his ears.
Victor followed the place where the sound came from and looked over. Within the shadow, a mask with double question marks hanging in reverse appeared vaguely.
"I thought you wouldn't come out to see me." Victor shrugged.
Mr. Doubt only showed his face, but did not come out of the shadows. He replied: "I predict that you will bring me some good news today."
"Are you also a fortune teller?" Victor raised his eyebrows.
"No, it's just a common hunch." Mr. Question said coldly, "But if my hunch is wrong, you can leave."
Seeing this, Victor chuckled, and then told him simply and clearly that he had clues about the Wandering Traveler.
Mr. Question paused for a moment, then pushed the wooden wheelchair out from the shadows.
He didn't speak, waiting for Victor's explanation. The latter paused and said, "If I provide you with information, can you continue to trade with me?"
"Then it depends on whether your news is worth it." Mr. Question raised his chin with his bony right palm.
Well, Victor organized his words and answered bluntly: "I met him south of the San Doango area."
Santo Toango region…
Mr. Question seemed to be thinking about something, and then pointed forward: "Have you seen that man in Lilqua?"
"No, there is a castle in the south of San Doango area, did you know?"
When the Davis family implemented their plan, the area around Lilcui was isolated from the outside world, and few people knew that they had diverted the Red River and built Turbulent Castle and an underground industrial base.
However, Mr. Question seemed to be among those few people, and he quickly named Turbulent Castle.
"The Davis family...that's what it is."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was no further explanation. Victor waited, a little impatiently: "So is this clue valuable?"
"Yes." Mr. Question answered immediately, "But if you could explain it more carefully..."
"The Davis family was holding a wedding, and I met him at the wedding banquet, but that was all. Then he lost sight of me. Maybe he noticed me." Victor shrugged.
"What a pity..." Mr. Question seemed to be sighing, "But I have to admit that you have fulfilled your promise, so what do you want to trade with me?"
"I want clues to the third secret transmission of the butterfly, or clues to the secret transmission connected to the nature of the butterfly, or clues to the path rules related to the butterfly, except for the wheel of fortune." Victor did not beat around the bush, because he knew that Mr. Question knew him
He is a rare seer of butterfly nature in the world.
Mr. Question coughed slightly and continued to ask: "So, what trading products can you provide?"
Victor pinched the object in his arms, and after thinking for a moment, he answered: "A sealed artifact from the Secret of Dreams."
The two sides were silent for a long time, and finally Mr. Question laughed lightly.
"You can't use the dream phase to transform into the butterfly phase. The wheel of fortune is useless to you, so you need something else..."
"I can make you guess that it is out of necessity, but for the sake of trade and promotion, this is information that must be exchanged with you." Victor frowned.
Mr. Question pinched his chin and questioned in a strange tone: "So, aren't you afraid that this information will be exposed by me? I guess you don't want this secret dream transmission to be known to others.
?”
"Because the principle of Alphabet Club is that basic information about customers will not be disclosed. This is what you said." Victor glared at the other party.
"Okay, you are right. Even if the world is destroyed, no one will know about our conversation tonight." Mr. Question gave Victor a positive answer.
But then, his answer disappointed Victor very much.
"But I don't have what you want here. I'm afraid you'll have to take this secret third dream back the way you came."
This is not the answer Victor wants. If Amanda's spine is in his hands for another day, it will be more dangerous...unless he replaces the sealed object and destroys the spine.
But even so, the remaining secret transmissions were ultimately useless to him.
I can only keep it and see if there is any demand from the people in the Taoist temple.
"But..." Mr. Question added, "If you keep your promise and bring me news, I can reward you with knowledge that you may not know."
"What knowledge?" Victor suddenly became curious.
Mr. Question paused for a moment, spoke in a slower tone, and said: "I believe you also know that all carriers that preserve secret transmissions are called sealed objects, including human spines... Secret transmissions cannot function in sealed objects. Likewise,
Yes, if a person dies, the secret message will not be effective if it remains in the spine of the corpse."
Hearing this, Victor's heart trembled, but his expression did not change and he responded calmly: "Well, it is indeed true. It is knowledge that almost all seers know."
Mr. Questioning chuckled: "But have you ever thought about using relics to seal secret transmissions?"
Relic?
Seal and secret transmission?
Victor thought calmly, then raised his head: "The relic itself contains invisible techniques, which are different from secret transmissions. Is there any difference in using it to seal it?"
Mr. Doubt snapped his fingers with fingers like dead branches: "Invisible arts are divided into four categories: secret transmission, relics, potions, and rituals. You can regard the relics among them as some kind of artifact. No matter it is
Whether they were born before the Mythic Era or were artificially created after the Mythic Era, they can all play a specific role, which is different from the secret transmission."
"Sealing the secret transmission with non-relics is equivalent to leaving the secret transmission in an inactive state, but the relics are different, because they can use invisible techniques themselves, so sealing the secret transmission in the relics will make the relics at the same time
It also displays some of its secret transmission abilities.”
