Start with the Readers Chapter 39: Ready to enter
Abner took the contract and looked down again, and found that it was nothing more than some supplementary clauses such as not to disclose the relevant information of the "Dream Labyrinth Tower" to others, and the exploration results belong to everyone.
Then, he opened the 'Pure White Eye' covertly. After analyzing and confirming that there is no problem with the notarial certificate itself, he turned his head and asked Xio for his opinion: "What do you think?"
At this time, Xio also read the terms and conditions. She also didn't see the problem, so she nodded and said, "I have no problem!"
After the two reached an agreement, they successively signed their names in Hermes script on the contracts. Then, after examining it, Mr. Gaston also signed.
As soon as his action was over, the symbols and magic marks around the notarial certificate lit up one after another, all of them glowing brightly and warmly. They quickly formed a seal-like image, which was respectively stamped on the backs of the hands of Abner and the other three.
The warm current passed away in a flash, and Abner suddenly felt that there was a subtle but invisible connection between himself and the notarial certificate.
Seeing that the notarization was completed, Mr. Gaston said: "The 'Dream Labyrinth Tower' is a strange object that exists in the depths of the dream, and it is suspected to be a high-level Extraordinary of the Sequence of Knowledge and the Sequence of Secrets. Jointly built, I don't know how many entrances it has, but there is one in the underground of this school, which I deciphered from a manuscript more than a hundred years ago. Hehe, I have been searching for this entrance for nearly 20 years time."
"What is this tower? What's inside?" Abner asked curiously.
"It's an upside-down tower, and there are many labyrinth secrets between reality and dreams. After we enter the tower, because of its upside-down, we will first enter the ninth floor. Here we will randomly Encounter a maze secret realm, as long as you crack it, you can reach between the rewards, and randomly get a piece of knowledge or information. After taking the rewards, the passage to the next floor will appear. Well, the eighth and seventh floors behind are also They are all similar, except that the knowledge obtained is more valuable, and the mystery is more difficult to crack." Mr. Gaston introduced the general situation of the Dream Labyrinth Tower.
"Which floor have you passed the furthest?" Abner asked.
Mr. Gaston sighed, and said: "I can only pass the ninth floor steadily, the eighth floor depends on luck, I only pass once or twice, and the seventh floor is very difficult, I have no clue at all. None passed."
"Can this maze be swiped repeatedly?" Abner was a little surprised when he heard it, thinking that this thing is simply a dungeon.
"Swipe repeatedly?" Mr. Gaston was stunned by the word, and then he understood its meaning, shaking his head and said: "Everyone can only enter once a month, and if they enter continuously, rewards will be given. The knowledge will get worse and worse. The second time, it will be almost all the knowledge you already know. After the third time, it will give you completely worthless information. At this time, you can only recover after half a year. I am because It has been discovered for three years, so the number of entries is more."
This sounds more and more like a dungeon... Abner complained in his heart, but on the surface he said thoughtfully: "In other words, entering once every six months is the best choice?"
"That's right!" Mr. Gaston nodded and added, "In the ninth, eighth, and seventh floors, because the body is between reality and illusion, and it is more inclined to illusion, it will not be affected Too much damage, even if it is suicide, it just wakes up and returns to reality, and then the spirit is depressed for a while. According to the manuscript I got, the real danger is after the sixth floor, but I don't know what it is. "
"So that's it, then there's really no danger... because you only want to clear the seventh floor." Abner was stunned, and after thinking for a while, he asked again, "Dungeon... no, those in the dream maze What puzzles will they encounter?"
"There are scenes of looking for key items and then escaping from a certain building, there are scenes of finding the location of explosives based on clues, and there are more scenes of solving crimes... There is actually no need to say the specifics, because every time you enter, you will encounter scenes They are different, and previous experience is completely useless." Mr. Gaston felt a little helpless when he said this, he is really not good at this.
"No wonder you would spend a lot of money to hire a 'detective' over..." Abner immediately understood what Mr. Gaston was thinking. The money he gave was less. If it was only a few hundred pounds, the teacher might not care at all. Reasonable, after all, the other party would never mention the 'Dream Labyrinth Tower' in the telegram... Even the 1,000 pounds didn't impress the teacher, otherwise he wouldn't let me and Xio come... But if you find a 'detective' nearby Well, Mr. Gaston may not feel at ease, because it is easy to be killed by others and monopolize this entrance.
"When the three of us go in, will we disperse into different dream realms?" At this time, Xio interrupted and asked.
Mr. Gaston shook his head and said: "No, you can choose to 'form a team' before entering the tower, so that although the difficulty will increase, you can face the puzzle together. And in the first three floors, the difficulty The improvement is not much higher, in my opinion, it is better to be lucky..."
The team has been formed... Abner suddenly had an idea, this so-called 'Dream Labyrinth Tower' couldn't be created by that guy Roselle, right? He is not only the angel of the path of the perfect, but also the knowledge emperor of the hermit, which perfectly fits the inference created by Mr. Gaston's high-level Extraordinary of the sequence of the generalist and the sequence of the voyeur.
But this was just his speculation, and Abner didn't say it, but turned to other topics and asked, "Mr. Gaston, can you tell me what rank you are?" He needs to evaluate The ability of the opponent, otherwise it would be even more difficult to bring a slow-moving dungeon.
"I am the Sequence 7 'Appraiser'." Mr. Gaston didn't want to hide anything, and said directly.
It turned out to be a big dog sequence, no wonder they are so rich, after all, the perfectionist path sequence 5 and below have little combat power, relying on Extraordinary items to smash people. After a few words in his heart, Abner nodded and said, "We have no problem for now, do you have anything else to remind us?"
After thinking for a while, Mr. Gaston asked, "Can you make 'Dream Charms'?"
"Yes, what's the problem?" Other gods can only provide believers with the ability within their own authority to turn into spells, but the God of Knowledge is different. He can respond to requests for making almost all types of spells, but the spells are less effective .
"The 'door' to enter the underground requires dream ability as the 'key', so the 'dream charm' is an indispensable thing. Of course, if you are a 'nightmare' or a 'dream walker', it's a different matter. Originally, if you No, I still have to go to the Extraordinary Party to buy two, but since you can make it, then it’s no problem.” After Mr. Gaston explained, he said, “You guys are exhausted from the journey today, so let’s rest first. Also prepare by the way. We will gather here at nine o'clock tomorrow night."
Both Abner and Hugh had no objection to this arrangement, and after asking Mr. Gaston for some materials for the ceremony, they returned to the dormitory arranged by the other party.
There is no need to go into details about the process of the ceremony. It is still very simple to make two low-level charms with Abner's current expert level in ritual magic.
After sealing the two 'Dream Talismans' spiritually, he didn't think about the dream labyrinth, because he didn't know what scenes he would encounter, and it was useless to think about it. What he is thinking now is how to establish a connection with Klein, that is, Mister Fool.
Although the method of making items connected to the source castle was obtained by analyzing the gray fog before, this method is essentially a ritual magic, and it also needs to pray to the gods or unknown existence for help! And Abner didn't want other gods to use him as a medium to threaten Klein, no matter how friendly the **** of knowledge and wisdom was at the moment. This is the main reason why he has not produced the item for a long time.
"Forget it, it's useless to think too much, anyway, there's still time. Klein's spirituality can't afford more people to join the Tarot Club at the moment, and I'll be promoted to the 'Knowledge Keeper' and develop the 'Pure White Eye' 'More functions may be able to solve this problem... If it doesn't work, I can use the ancient Hermetic language to recite the name of the fool after Klein makes up the name of the Fool... This choice will cause too much trouble in the future~ IndoMTL.com~ It is also difficult to gain Klein's trust, so it is better not to use it unless it is absolutely necessary."
……
At the same time, in an old apartment in Tingen City.
A young man with black hair and brown pupils and a bookish look raised his gun and looked at the uninvited guest who rolled out of his room, as well as the door that was closing gradually, smiled slightly, and said to himself:
"You may not believe it, but my shot is actually empty."
This young man was Klein Moretti. After waiting in the room for a while, he suddenly saw Dunn Smith standing opposite him in a knee-length black windbreaker, half-top hat, and deep gray eyes.
After learning from Dunn that the person who was going to attack him was a member of the Secret Order, and that he had the chance to become a Extraordinary because of this feat, Klein did not immediately choose the 'Seer', but Prepare to speak your mind the next day.
As Dunn's dream power disappeared, in a small attic not far from the old apartment, a handsome silver-haired man in a red shirt and black coat squinted his eyes and smiled, saying to himself: " Sure enough... this is really interesting."
……
July 1st, nine o'clock in the evening.
The two of Abner followed Mr. Gaston to the basement of the school warehouse, and entered the real underground passage through a secret door. Then, at the end of the passage, they saw a door between reality and illusion, but with a rather gorgeous shape.
"Just activate the dream charm on the door!" After Mr. Gaston finished speaking, he took the lead in demonstrating.
Abner and Hugh naturally followed their advice.
With the activation of the spell, they only felt that the surrounding scenes changed rapidly, and then, a tall tower towering into the sky but standing upside down on the ground appeared in front of them!
