I'll also work hard to conquer the dungeon today.

Chapter 764, Section 2.8, Chapter 13: The Silver Court

Mu Yin looked at the gold coin in his palm, just as he had seen it.

It's the opposite...

"You can choose now." The little girl gestured for Mu Yin to select a key.

“You should have let me guess before the coin bounced and fell, otherwise I could have seen it,” Mu Yin said.

"No need. If you guess wrong, you'll just barge in again next time. I might as well grant your wish this time."

Mu Yin looked at the 13 wind-up keys in the wooden box.

"Your church confiscated so many fake keys? How come I've never heard of any keys appearing anywhere?" Mu Yin asked as he looked around.

“They’re all real keys, they can all unlock the locks,” the little girl said.

"What kind of lock?" Mu Yin suddenly asked curiously.

"Then you'll have to figure it out yourself."

Mu Yin: "..."

ten minutes later.

"Haven't you found anything you like?" the little girl asked when Mu Yin hesitated to make a choice.

"You suddenly said that, and I don't know which one to choose either," Mu Yin said, frowning. These 13 keys were completely unfamiliar, and he had no intention of choosing any of them at all. His heart told him that he didn't want these keys, and he was rejecting them.

"Then, how about doing whatever you want?" The little girl smiled and said, "Do what your heart desires."

"These keys must have some special significance, right? Since you say they're all real keys, they must have their own purpose. And what about the other dolls?" Mu Yin asked, stroking his chin as he pondered.

"She is the only one," the little girl said calmly.

"That……"

Before Mu Yin could ask any further questions, the little girl sighed helplessly, "It seems you won't give up until I explain clearly."

Mu Yin raised an eyebrow. "Tell me about it. I need to make a proper decision so I can know what to choose. Otherwise, I won't know how to choose, and what if I make the wrong choice?"

"That only means you two are not meant to be."

"Impossible! It must be our destiny!" Mu Yin firmly denied. When he stopped on that day, he knew he had to have her.

The little girl had no intention of continuing to argue with Mu Yin. She took out a wind-up key surrounded by various flowers from the wooden box and used it as an example.

"Just as keys exist to unlock locks, so do these spring-loaded keys. However, they don't unlock locks in the conventional sense, but rather locks in a more intangible and abstract concept. You can think of it as a lock existing within each person; opening it carelessly will cause unbearable consequences, and these spring-loaded keys exist to open it correctly. The difference lies in the different meanings corresponding to different keys, which creates different effects after unlocking. But a lock can only be opened once and cannot be opened repeatedly."

"Is the lock I'm looking for the one that will wake her up?" Mu Yin asked.

"That depends on your understanding. What kind of key do you think she needs?" The little girl didn't directly answer Mu Yin's question.

"But you didn't explain the effect of each key being opened."

“Because it’s unnecessary.” The little girl put the wind-up key back in her hand. “When you choose a key, it also chooses its master. And you’re not the one who needs to use the key, so what’s the point of knowing its effects?”

Mu Yin pondered for a moment and said, "You're right." Although he still wanted to know, he really couldn't force him to reveal it, so he decided to leave it at that.

"I have one last question before I make my choice."

"Go on." "Were any keys confiscated from the banquet this time? Is it inside?"

"Yes, it's here." The little girl pointed to the key with the intricate floral design. "This is it. Are you satisfied with this answer?"

“Satisfied. Then I want the key hanging around your neck. I saw the silver necklace around your neck when you moved just now. If I’m not mistaken, that should also be a key.”

In fact, Mu Yin was still a little annoyed. In principle, it was not because he had strong observation skills that he discovered it, but because the other party deliberately revealed it to him.

Even so, he still made his choice.

Because this is the only key he wants to choose.

Whether it was a trap or something else, he accepted it.

The little girl hooked the necklace with her thumb and pulled it out, allowing Mu Yin to see the key in its entirety.

It is a silver key, engraved with a full moon and stars, yet shrouded in a thin, water-like veil, making everything hazy and illusory. But if you hold that full moon up to your face, it will reflect your image clearly and completely, and the boundary between reality and illusion suddenly becomes blurred.

The keyhole, like the other bronze keys, is shaped like a lily.

Mu Yin accepted the key, but the little girl called him back before he left.

She asked, "You could have just taken the key, or you could have just gone to the vintage house and taken hers."

"Yes, I could do that, and I can make sure I get it. But... only with her... I want to do it the right way..."

Only for her.

Mu Yin is gone.

The little girl watched the figure disappear at the end of the corridor, then slowly withdrew her gaze and closed the wooden box.

“Every time I see you like this, I find it hilarious, and I can’t help but want to laugh out loud.” A deep voice suddenly came from the doorway.

The little girl didn't turn around. "Really?"

"Speaking of which, did you really just let him take it so easily? That's not like you, Lanlos." Dionysus sat down next to the little girl and picked up the wooden box.
"Is it possible that this is the kind of development I've been hoping for?" Lanlos chuckled.

Because we are looking forward to future developments, we try our best to meet Mu Yin's needs.

He couldn't wait to do it.

Therefore, the test that was supposed to be given to Mu Yin was also deleted, leaving only the successful trial.

Mu Yin wasn't the only one who wanted to see her; he was too.

Dionysus glanced at Lanlos speechlessly, then said, "I'm taking these keys. You're only selling them to those who are destined to receive them, right? Weren't you planning to destroy them before?"

Lanlos seemed to have thought of something and paused slightly. "Because... one of them has already chosen a master and is about to enter the incubation process. Moreover, this was originally the token she used to select her direct guard, so I have no reason to stop it from happening."

He simply checked the answer first on purpose.

“Speak like a human being,” Dionysus interrupted.

"Everything is going according to my plan, and this time it will definitely succeed. Because... I have found him, and the plan is progressing smoothly." Lanlos smiled faintly.

So, this little girl is...
