About ten minutes is enough time for Victor to experience this time of meditating and dreaming.
When he opened his eyes, Father Sang was already lying down again, enjoying the warmth of the bonfire at night.
"Ahem...how are you? Are you scared?"
The old priest thought that this was Victor's first time entering the secret place, and that most seers would soon escape from that state due to their inability to concentrate.
Of course Victor is not.
The woodland outside the Secret Lodge was unremarkable. He had already experienced it twice, but this time it was not a dream that he entered with a bronze key.
"What a wonderful experience. Is this a place that only seers can reach?" He pretended to be surprised.
Father Sang smiled proudly: "You can continue to look for opportunities to try. The Danlos fungus is in that... ahem, mysterious realm, but exploring the secret place is a very dangerous thing, so you have to be careful." "What does that thing look like?" Victor continued to ask curiously.
Father Sang looked like he was about to sleep and murmured in reply: "I've only seen it in records. It's hard to describe...cough, but it is said that it grows on corpses."
As the words fell, Father Sang began to snore and fell asleep instantly.
It's a good thing for Victor that he fell asleep, because next, Victor will use the power of the key and the yellow coat to enter the thick fog to find the Danross fungus.
Although Father Sang knows the meditation method of entering the secret place, his exploration or understanding of the secret place may not be as deep as Victor's.
After all, he is not a knower, and has never entered that thick fog, and it is only in that thick fog that so-called "secret creatures" may exist.
Thinking of this, Victor left the campfire, entered the barn, lay on the blanket, reached into his pocket and squeezed the bronze key...
……
In the western continent, Velen, the capital of the Greybean Empire, the sun is shining brightly.
At her desk at Xinxing Newspaper, Abigail had a pair of dark circles under her eyes. She had only written the first row of the manuscript in front of her, but she couldn't write any more.
Colleagues in the office came and went and greeted her in a friendly way when they passed by her, but this sleepless lady gave her feedback listlessly.
The color arc of light above everyone's head appears blue, which represents fluctuating emotions such as doubt or vigilance.
Everyone seems to be confused about how a female reporter who is usually lively and active has become so depressed.
Their mood swings were seen by Abigail. She had long been accustomed to observing others, and through her understanding of the arc of light during this period, Abigail had confirmed that she must have become the rumored pioneer.
See you.
It’s just that I still don’t know what kind of secret message I have obtained.
Regarding the statue of a sheep skull with tentacles, Abigail stayed in Moran Bookstore for several nights, but could not find any relevant information. There were not many areas in the bookstore that she had not browsed, so she decided
Go look for it on the last row of bookshelves tonight.
Next to the manuscript that she has not yet started writing, her scrawled notes are placed, which are all the results of Abigail in a few days.
There are indeed many secret documents in Moran Bookstore that are not circulated through formal channels. The most abundant ones are from the Shadowless Empire period of the Second Age, various secret societies, incredible invisible arts, etc.
The Shadowless Empire was the first large empire with a centralized monarchy in the Western Continent. It dominated a large amount of history in the Second Age. The rise and fall of the empire was also the beginning and end of the Second Age.
It is said that after the fall of the empire, the remaining religious believers fled to the Indong Continent, which is the land where the United States of Secred is now located.
The gold digger last time was asking Abigail about this matter.
However, in such an ancient empire, there are still no weird totems like the sheep skull tentacle statue.
In Miss Moran's bookstore, in addition to the wild history records of the Shadowless Empire, there are also the even more mysterious and obscure secret histories of the First Age, which is the era known as the "Mythic Era" in the mouths of historians from various countries. p>
There are very few documentary records of that era, and they were recorded in completely different languages from those of today. There are also very few that can be translated. Each nation or religion has its own "creation myth", and I don't know which legend is more reliable.
.
The documents that record these are all translated from cuneiform writing before the Shadowless Empire into Common Language or Lugou, and the meaning may have changed by more than half.
However, after research, historians have reached a rare consensus, that is, in the mythical era, the ruler of the world was not the current human beings, but a "thing" called the sub-god race. p>
The origins of the creation myths of various religions are closely related to this group of demi-gods.
On the large island in the far north - the Principality of Ainan, there are many ruins proving the existence of the demi-gods.
It is said to also involve the myths and legends of the Second Age - the "Great Invasion" incident.
In short, the records of the Mythic Era are quite complex, and there are many contradictory points. Although Abigail was very interested in these and recorded them in her notes, she still found nothing related to the sheep skull tentacle statue.
.
This kind of totem seems to have never existed in history, and the group of cultists who worshiped the statue were also wiped out by the local police. They ran away to death, and Abigail had no way of finding out.
She originally wanted to write a manuscript based on the statue, but now it seems that it is difficult.
"Cheer up, Miss Herman." The person in charge of the newspaper knocked on Abigail's desk, "This is the latest topic we are studying at the meeting. You have to prepare the sample manuscript within two weeks." p>
A finished product from another newspaper was thrown in front of Abigail. She looked at it sleepily and saw that the headline was a hand-drawn sketch, roughly depicting a fight in eastern Secred and the local security.
A gun battle between an officer and a group of horse bandits surrounding a convoy of trucks.
The content of the article is also a satire on how chaotic and absurd the so-called free country on the other side of the ocean is.
"Recently, the upper class likes this kind of exciting things like fighting and killing. I know that none of you here have been to that barbaric country, so we can make up whatever you like!"
The person in charge spoke enthusiastically to other reporters in the office.
……
Returning to Victor, while Father Sang was asleep, he first raised his hand to perform a divination and calculated a "little auspiciousness". When Yang Ren came to announce the good news, he suddenly felt at peace in his heart. Then he immediately returned to the barn, holding the key and entering again.
Secret stay.
Without too much interlude, he stepped straight into the dilapidated Taoist temple in front of him, first put on the yellow robe, and suppressed the black monster that was about to move.
Although there has been no attack in the past few days, it can be clearly seen in the secret residence that this guy is growing ruthlessly again. I think it will not be long before it will interfere with Victor's consciousness again.
Then, Victor went around behind the row of spiritual tablets, pulled out a long box, took out a meter-long incense stick, and inserted it in front of Adolf's spiritual tablet.
After that, a series of intertwined scenes suddenly appeared in front of Victor's eyes. In just a moment, they were fixed in front of a dilapidated house, and the escort was hiding in it, reading a shabby book at night.
"Mr. Gold Digger..."
As Victor whispered softly, Adolf was shocked, raised his head, and stared at the empty night sky outside the window.
