Start with the Readers Chapter 21: Iron Blood 10 Word Club

The town of "Kabas" on the bright side is the same as the ruins on the main peak of the Hornaches Mountains, and there is no danger...

But as long as certain conditions are triggered, you will enter the so-called "inner world" and enter a "nightmare" state, and as you gradually go deeper into the dream, you will become more and more terrifying until you reach the place "hidden" by the dream ——For example, Kingdom of the Night, or the "imitation" that is now imprisoning the Scourge Queen.

If my conjecture is correct, the condition for opening the "terror" and "disaster" in the "Kabas" town in reality lies in this church!

It is both a shelter that shelters the villagers from their nightmares, and it is also the source of the town's crisis.

I remember Miss "Justice" mentioned in our private conversation that there is a long-standing proverb in that town: "Asleep, it's dark, go to church, don't make a sound."

Although the villagers are very strange about the order of these words, after all, generally speaking, "darkness" should be before "sleep", but for some reason, it has been passed down in the town, from generation to generation, and has never been cut off.

Now it seems that someone has engraved a way to deal with the "nightmare" in the subconscious of the villagers, so that they have a chance to survive the dream monster.

I just don't know who built this "imitation"... It doesn't look like Roselle's handwriting...

Could it be some "bishop of fear" or "servant of the secret"?

Abner explored the superficial dream in the small town of "Kabas" again, but found nothing. Abner didn't delay any longer. He used the ability of "Dream Walker" to perform "dream jump", and soon came to Professor Michelle. In the dream of a servant at home, and then back to reality, meet Hugh.

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

"Temporary solution..." Abner briefly described what happened just now, and then added, "And I have hinted to Professor Michelle, asking him to go to the Church of Evernight. I will stray into that dangerous dream again."

After listening to it, Xio thought thoughtfully: "You seem to be very concerned about matters related to 'God of Luck' and 'Queen of Calamity'..."

Actually, I am also very interested in Giuseppe, Daniel, Alvin, Vicente, and Rhine... After all, I have to find out what they did... Otherwise, who knows, I will give What hole am I digging now?

Aside from other things, just thinking about the gods and angels who may have descendants with me... makes my scalp tingle!

Of course, the complaints in my heart belong to the complaints, and these words cannot be said to Xio for the time being. Abner only pushed it to the task given by the mother **** and covered it up.

Fortunately, it involved gods, so Xio didn't suspect anything.

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

Hugh wants to go home to visit his mother and younger brother before the first train enters the station, but Abner excuses that he has something to do, and turns into the dark, quietly following behind Xio, trying to find her The source of the danger encountered in some "Branches of Fate".

It's not that he doesn't want to directly protect Xio on the bright side, but in that case, the "prophet" will end up in person, and Huo's "fate" will become unpredictable instead, and he may suffer even more. Hazards within observation.

As for the "Alchemist" and "Floating Void City" mentioned by Klein, they can only be shelved first. Anyway, the master and the underground space will not disappear in a short time.

…

Nas, in the high tower of the floating city fixed by metal brackets.

Klein was quite interested in the "Floating Void City" at the beginning, and he toured around with the company of the blond girl doll, but soon, he discovered that most of the facilities here were empty, even the "Power Room" "It's just a decoration...

The puppet said that Master Klaus has been studying for decades but has not understood the meaning of the power symbols in the "Floating City", so he plans to change it to a steam engine instead...

Unfortunately, with the power of the current steam engine, it is completely impossible to bring such a large mountain into the sky.

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 a rune that is prying a certain or a few existing power...

Just when Klein was bored and wanted to divination about the origin of those symbols, Jane suddenly found him and said with a smile: "The upgrade of your Extraordinary item has been completed, Master Klaus asked me to come to you .”

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

"Because the process was very smooth, it was completed ahead of schedule." Jane explained, then asked with a smile, "Haven't you visited enough?"

How come? This place is even more boring than the "City of Miracles" Levished, after all, there is a more interesting "Hall of Honesty" there.

Mentally complaining, Klein maintained Gehrman's character on the surface, and said unintentionally while following Jane's footsteps: "Speaking of which, Miss Jane, you should be a crew member of the future ship." ? How could you be the 'agent' of Master Klaus."

"Abner even told you this? You really are very good friends..." Jian Wenyan was a little surprised, and said with emotion.

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

"In fact, Ms. Cattleya and I are also friends, and we will take the "Future" to go to the easternmost part of the Sonia Sea, which is almost an illusory and dangerous ocean."

"You and the captain are also friends?" Jane was even more surprised. She turned her head and glanced at Klein several times, until she saw the other party take out a pure crystal ball, and a few inexplicable brilliance flashed in her eyes, before she smiled. Said, "The captain gave you all the contact crystals... You really know each other...

"In this case, you are not an outsider, so it's okay to tell you.

"Opportunities to work for Master Klaus are actually very sought-after in Dawn of the Elements! Because as long as you serve for half a year, you can get a chance to ask the master to do it yourself.

"And my promotion to Sequence 5 requires the construction of an environment that temporarily shields the underworld, so I asked for the 'queen'. I got the position of 'broker'."

The queen... the mysterious queen? It seems that the information that Abner told me is not wrong, and the news of the breakup between "Admiral of the Stars" and "Queen of Mysteries" is false.

However, Miss Jane, is it really okay for you to tell such important information directly? Is it just because I'm friends with Abner and Cattleya? Are you too hasty? !

I have to ask Abner to persuade Miss Jane later.

Could it be that the ladies of the "Corpse Collector" pathway all speak very distinctively? Ms. Daly is a joker, but Miss Jane is outspoken?

While complaining, Klein and Jane had already arrived at the door of Master Klaus' laboratory.

After the routine deodorization procedure, Klein saw Klaus, who had dark circles under his eyes, but looked radiant.

"Because the power level of sealing this item is very high, the process of upgrading for 'Squirming Hunger' is much smoother than I imagined.

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

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

"First of all, from the original five souls that can be herded, it has been increased to seven, and the maximum number of demigod souls that can be herded is one Sequence 4.

"Secondly, you can use it to use the demigod-level abilities of 'Hiding the Shadow' and 'Controlling the Shadow'...but each time you use it, you need to feed him a person.

"Third, the connection when switching to grazing 'soul' will be faster than before, there is almost no 'delay', and the switch can be seamless.

"Finally, when you graze your soul again, the ability you acquire is no longer completely dependent on luck, but can be chosen by yourself." Klaus gave a brief introduction. It is actually a bit of a pity to integrate many of the abilities contained in the "Black Knight" feature into "Squirming Hunger".

But Klein is already very satisfied with this. He feels that he has the upgraded "Squirming Hunger" in his hand. With the "Funeral Blade" and the "Phoenix" revolver that he just bought, even if he is in front of a demigod. If Mr. "Tower" fights, he may not lose.

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

"Since you have my token, I will naturally fulfill your request." Master Klaus waved his hand, then smiled and said, "What's more, the 'wolf fish' you brought is The authentic products from Sonia Island are stronger and more delicious than the local ones in Nass!"

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

After Jane sent Klein out of this underground space in a carriage and turned back again, she raised her head and said to someone, "Is there any problem with him? If there is a problem, why did you ask me to send the 'Element Dawn'?" 'Tell him about it?"

At this time, pea vines suddenly hung down in midair, and then a soft but emotionless voice came: "We have to observe again..."

…

Becklund, in the villa at No. 28 King Street.

Forsi picked up the "Astrologer" Extraordinary Feature that she had bought a long time ago, and carefully put it into the container that had already been filled with accessories...

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

I summed up the 'Rules of Master Juggernauts' in mid-March, and I completely digested the potion last week. If it wasn't for the lack of some auxiliary materials, I would have been an "Astrologer" three days ago... But , it is not too late now!

After muttering something in his heart, Forsi picked up the cup containing the potion and drank the liquid in it.

A moment later, after sorting out the "knowledge" directly brought by the potion, she found helplessly that even if she was promoted to Sequence Seven, she was still a "weak chicken" in terms of combat.

Besides, since the potion is formulated with characteristics as the main ingredients, it means that I have to digest one more "apprentice" and "master juggler"... It seems that I can't quit my job in the circus for the time being... …Fortunately, the head of the regiment decided to stay in Backlund for a month or two. This time should be enough for me to digest it.

As for the method of removing traits by having children that she asked about in the Tarot Association before, she just thought about it for a while and then discarded it.

Thinking of this, she put on a pitch-black pointed hat and a long skirt of the same color, dressed up as people's inherent impression of witches, and went out to the Cindy's Circus in Jorwood District.

…

Storn Steam Railway Station, East Chestershire.

Ebner, 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 fire light flew over at high speed from far to near!

A demigod of the "Hunter" path?

So undisguised, she doesn't care about extraordinary power appearing in front of others...

A member of the "Jagged Cross"?

Is he the source of the crisis in the tributary of Xiu's fate?
