Chapter 1256 Black Feather Pirates Letter

After collecting supplies, Qin Zhibo and Kuroba Kaito did not plan to stay in this city any longer.

Passing through the onyx palace belonging to the Masked King in the center of the city, starting from the northern corner of Inganok, they mounted their yaks and embarked on a pilgrimage to the north.

Although the northern continent is relatively deserted, there are still many quarries, farms, villages, etc. scattered around Inganok.

At about 2 o'clock in the afternoon, they arrived at Ugg, the first village north of Inganok.

This is a village built next to a small abandoned mine.

The two tied the yak outside the village tavern and planned to go in to inquire about the next road to Leng Yuan and information about Black Feather Pirates.

I haven't inquired in the city of Inganok before because the city is so big that it is almost impossible to inquire about a person who lived many years ago.

But it is just a few hours away from the city of Inganok, and it is the first resting place that every traveling businessman traveling to the north will not miss.

After entering the tavern, Qin Zhibo still took the lead in inquiring about information.

After all, Kuroba Kaito is too skinny and tender in this world. When he was in Dilas-Lingang, he was even regarded as a woman by drunkards, so he was easily looked down upon by the people here.

After Qin Zhibo made a symbolic purchase of some pomegranate wine brewed in the village, the tavern owner really recalled some things.

"Black Feather Thief..."

"It's a long time ago, I still remember it..."

"Who are you to him?"

Seeing the vigilance and suspicion in the boss's eyes, Qin Zhibo murmured in his heart.

Could it be that Kuroba Toichi did something bad here?

But before Qin Zhibo could further test the tavern owner, Kuroba Kaito behind him could no longer suppress his excitement and answered first.

"I am his son!"

"Son?" The tavern owner looked up and down at the young man across the bar, "Your name is Kaito?"

"Yes! I am Kaito!"

Kuroba Kaito's eyes became even more excited.

The tavern owner said "wait a moment" and turned back to the small room behind the bar.

Looking at the curtain that was opened and lowered, Qin Zhibo was a little surprised. This tavern owner actually knew Kaito's name?

That's probably...

Sure enough, as Qin Zhibo expected, after a while, the tavern owner opened the curtain and came out of the room, with a knife and a letter in his hand.

"This is what Black Feather Pirates left for you..."

Kuroba Kaito reached out and took the sword and the letter, his expression was both shocked and confused.

I was shocked that my father could actually guess that he would arrive here many years later, and he had reserved a letter in advance.

I wonder why my father did this?

Now that we're all here, why not return to the real world?

From Pickman's mouth, they learned that Black Feather Pirates' purpose of pursuing Kadasi in the secret realm was to find the "way" back to the real world.

In theory, this place is not far from the secret realm of Kadasi.

After so many years, my father should have succeeded...

Kuroba Kaito was thinking in his heart when Qin Zhibo next to him asked the tavern owner again.

"May I ask when the person who asked you to preserve these things came here?"

"Hmm..." The tavern owner thought for a moment, "It was about six years ago."

"That man is an interesting magician. He said that a man named 'Kaito' might come here many years later, and then he would give these two things to him..."

6 years?

In other words, Kuroba Toichi started looking for a way to return to the real world almost two years after his "death".

In the past six years, no matter how slow Black Feather Pirates was and how dangerous the journey was, he would have reached Kadasi...

Thinking of this, an unpleasant feeling came to Qin Zhibo's heart.

At this time, Kuroba Kaito also slowly opened the envelope and took out the letter paper from inside.

The moment he saw the letter, his hands trembled slightly.

Because this piece of yellowed letter paper is exactly the handwriting written in Japanese by his father Kuroha Toichi!



Kaito, long time no see.

Although I don’t know how long it has been since I left you and Qianying, I believe you will be able to unravel the clues I left and pursue them all the way here.

This world is wonderful, right?

You must have been through a lot, right? Kaito.

I think Mr. Pickman has told you that since I was very young, I have realized that I have the ability to enter this dreamland, and I have honed my magic skills by performing magic performances in this world.

In the eyes of the world, I am a talented magician who can perform on tour independently when I was only a teenager.

But in fact, I just have more than twice the practice time of ordinary people.

Perhaps you may be wondering, since you have known about the existence of this world for a long time, why didn't you know about it earlier?

In fact, not everyone has the qualifications to enter this world, and this has nothing to do with family or lineage.

My brother does not have the qualifications to enter this world.

I'm worried that once you know the existence of this world, you won't be able to enter it, so you will deny your own efforts and talents.

I have created many magic tricks that the world considers "great".

but……

Kaito, you are the greatest magic in my life and the one I am most proud of.



After reading this, Kuroba Kaito's vision became a little blurry, and the area around his eyes became sore.

However, he stopped in time before small pearls could form.

Because he remembered the teachings of Kuroba Toichi, to keep a poker face at all times.

What's more, in a public place like a pub, you need to hide your inner thoughts in your heart.

He bit the tender flesh on the inside of his lip, lowered his head, and read the following content expressionlessly.



Okay, now it’s time to get down to business.

I think you already know that I am going to the secret realm of Kadasi to find the "way" back to the real world.

But what you don’t know is that I actually had that “road” a long time ago.

The talent of a dreamer allows me to create any material I want in this world.

So, I built a city.

I named this city "The City of Bright Moon".

Yes, it's the city you see in that mural at home.

In order to prevent future accidents for me in the real world, I built a "road" in advance in that city.

But the dream gods took this city from my hands.

I must take back the City of Bright Moon from them before I can return to the real world.

And now, when you read this letter, it means that my plan has failed.

The secret realm of Kadath is an extremely mysterious and unknown realm. Legend has it that the gods of dreams live there and are the rulers of the entire dream realm.

And I don’t know what the outcome will be if I fight against the ruler of the dreamland...

Essentially, this is an extremely dangerous journey.

But I'm willing to take this risk in order to return to the real world.

But Kaito, you are in the real world, not here, so there is absolutely no need for you to take this risk.

The road ahead is not a smooth one, but a dangerous one.

So go back, Kaito.

This makes this the end of the journey.

It is at this moment that you, who already know the whole truth, choose to let everything end.

That’s it for now…

After going back, I told Qianying that I will always love her.

Black Feather Pirates



Kuroba Kaito's head was buried deep in his chest, and he held the letter tightly in his right hand.

After a while, he gently put it down again.

Seeing this scene, Qin Zhibo knew that he had finished reading the letter.

What is the content of the letter?

Qin Zhibo was very curious.

But under the circumstances, I had no choice but to open my mouth and read the contents of the letter.

Although it's usually easy to make some small jokes with these young people, when it's time to show your worldliness, you still need to be more worldly.

Fortunately, Kuroba Kaito raised his arm slightly and took the initiative to hand over the letter.

Qin Zhibo took the letter and quickly scanned the contents with his eyes.

While reading the letter, Qin Zhibo frowned several times.

There is a lot of content in this letter, but in summary it is Kuroba Toichi's suicide note.

He knew that it would be unlucky for him to go to the secret realm of Kadath to ask for the City of the Bright Moon, so he left a letter in advance.

If we can successfully retrieve it and return to the real world, everyone will be happy.

If not, this letter is his final explanation to his son.

The content of the letter was basically the same as what Qin Zhibo had learned before, except for some details.

For example, Kuroba Toichi actually has a younger brother?

He said that his younger brother did not have the qualifications to enter the dreamland, which meant that he at least knew something about the dreamland.

So who is this brother?

The photo of Kuroba Toichi wearing glasses that he saw at Kuroba Kaito's house looked very much like Kudo Yusaku...

Could it be...

This idea only appeared in his mind for a second. Qin Zhibo frowned and dismissed the possibility.

First of all, Kuroba Thief's surname is "Kuroba" and Kudo Yusaku's surname is "Kudo". These surnames cannot be the same family.

Secondly, Kudo Yusaku has been tracking down Kaitou Kid since he was young. Even the name "Kid" was accidentally given by Kudo Yusaku.

Because a reporter mistook the scrawled "Phantom Thief 1412" for "Phantom Thief Kid", the name "Phantom Thief Kid" came into being.

If these two people were related, it would be too dark.

What about Kuroba Kaito and Nakamori Ginzo?

Therefore, Qin Zhibo guessed that Heiyu Pianyi's younger brother should also be an ordinary person named Heiyu.

In addition, Black Feather Pirates actually went to the dream gods to ask for his city.

Qin Zhibo did have some impressions of this bright moon city.

In the painting "Ghoul Under the Moon", a bright moon hangs in the sky, and in the center of the painting is a ghoul eating.

In the distant view of the painting, you can indeed vaguely see the outline of a castle.

It turns out that it is not an artistic creation, but a real place...

It's just that this city has now been taken away by the dream gods.

Only they, as the rulers of dreams, can take away the city of the dreamer.

Although Qin Zhibo didn't know what these dream gods looked like and what powers they had, he probably couldn't speak very well.

Black Feather Pirates' departure is indeed a disaster.

This may be the reason why Black Feather Thief lived in the dreamland for a while after his death before deciding to go to the secret realm of Kadasi.

And now, as a father, he is trying his best to dissuade his son from continuing to go to that secret place.

Qin Zhibo folded the letter, stuffed it into the envelope on the bar, and handed it back to Kuroba Kaito's hand.

"What should we do now?"

"Do you want to continue?"

Although Qin Zhibo himself also has a main mission to complete, at this moment, he still wants to listen to Kuroba Kaito's thoughts.

If Kuroba Kaito gives up here, then he will go home.

If Kuroba Kaito continues...

"I choose to continue."

Kuroba Kaito suddenly raised his head and said with firm eyes.

Dad, although you want me to stop here, I won't give up just like this.

And I don’t know the whole truth either…

Regarding Pandora, the Stone of Life, and the Magician's Alliance, I want to hear these things from you personally.

And mom, she misses you all the time too.

Kuroba Kaito still remembered that in the two years after Kuroba Toichi's death, he could often hear intermittent sobbing outside the couple's bedroom late at night.

Now he finally has hope. Even if the hope is slim, he will try his best to try.

Even if there is only a one in ten thousand chance of a miracle happening, he must pursue it himself.

Because pursuing miracles is the lifelong mission of a magician.

"Uncle Qin, let me finish the rest of the journey by myself..."

Kuroba Kaito looked at Qin Zhibo and said firmly.

He knew that the road ahead would be dangerous, and there was no need to risk it with another person.

Moreover, finding his father is his own responsibility, but not that of others.

However, when Qin Zhibo heard this, his expression turned cold and he put his palm on his shoulder.

"Boy, don't forget..."

"Without me, you wouldn't even be here."

"Besides, you call me 'uncle', how could I not care about my 'nephew'?"

"Walk!"

"Let's hit the road together!"



Under the black cliffs, two yaks walked slowly on the gravel road.

Although the yak travels slowly, fortunately every step is solid and there is no need to step down even on a slightly steep road.

Qin Zhibo sat on the yak in front, looking at the road ahead and thinking about the secret realm of Kadasi.

Obviously, the biggest threat in this main mission is the dream gods.

"Zhu" means more than one.

And this mission has the same reward as the mission to Enkai.

This shows that these "dream gods" are almost as threatening as the toad god Tsathogua.

So many gods to match one Great Old One.

There are also "demigods" who have sex with humans and give birth to powerless "demigods" who steal cities built by others...

This kind of dirty pursuit of pleasure has absolutely no "divinity" at all.

Therefore, Qin Zhibo guessed that the actual ranks of the dream gods should not be too high.

I wonder if my [Oath Keeper Sword] can fight against it?

On the other side, Kuroba Kaito is riding on the yak behind and is studying another item left by Kuroba Pirates.

This is an ancient Japanese samurai short sword with a star-shaped blade and some almond-shaped patterns printed on the black scabbard.

The key is that the knife seems to be rusted to death and cannot be pulled out.
