Mystery: The Silver Key

Chapter 387 Exploring the World of Books

Klein frowned, then asked, "So He helped Angelweid return so that someone could slow down that person's path to godhood?"

"But given your relationship with that person, it's impossible that they weren't paying attention to you. Involving you in this matter is no different from directly telling them."

This was also what he couldn't understand; he felt that someone known for their wisdom couldn't possibly have made such a mistake in their planning.

...unless the intelligent dragon has been forcibly de-intelligented.

Cyril chuckled, then shook his head and said, "Angelweid never had that ability to begin with."

"Even if all of His previous plans had succeeded, it would have been just another death."

"Instead of having the pen of Alshogod and the negative personality in Levihide, his return as a Sequence 2 in the body of Erihogod won't attract much attention. As long as he finds a place to hide again, he can probably keep surviving."

"Perhaps this is a small act of concern for my former boss..."

"7

"There may also be deeper reasons."

For example, reaching some kind of agreement with the returning Angelweid to control the negative personality left behind by the other party in Levichide, thereby gaining certain "Chaos Sea" permissions.

Klein nodded thoughtfully, then asked curiously, "What does 'former boss' mean?"

Did that wise dragon also serve as a follower of other beings?

Cyril glanced in the direction of the captain's cabin but did not answer the question.

It's somewhat impolite to discuss this issue on someone else's ship.

The next second, his spirituality was suddenly stirred, and he saw many brass-colored lights flying out from the void, moving quickly and outlining a blurry door without any substance in the air.

Immediately afterwards, Edwina stepped out from behind the "door".

Cyril looked at the other person with some surprise, although he knew that the "Scholar" was good at "analysis" and "imitation", and the "Arcane Master" was even better at creating some strange spells.

But isn't the progress of this "analysis" a bit too fast?

He remembered that he hadn't used his extraordinary abilities in front of Edwina many times.

Noticing the flicker of doubt in his eyes, Edwina calmly explained, "I analyzed the 'Flash' and 'Teleport' you used before and created a secret technique that allows for short-range teleportation."

After a brief pause, she continued, "The ships will approach Graggs tomorrow morning. They won't dock, but will stay for a few days to replenish supplies."

"I want to take this time to explore the world in Grosser's Travels."

"Mr. Sparrow, you can join us if you're interested."

"I'd be happy to," Klein nodded to Edwina.

After chatting briefly, Edwina teleported away again and left the cafeteria.

After finishing the beer in his glass, Xireen leaned back and teleported back to his bed in his room.

Klein glanced silently at the spot where the two had disappeared, sighed silently, and then got up and walked towards the passageway outside the cafeteria.

The next morning, the "Golden Dream" anchored in a relatively calm area of ​​the sea.

In Edwina's captain's cabin, Cyril and Klein, along with First Mate Blue, Third Mate Jodson, and Danitz, were all gathered around.

Blue and the others are having a heated discussion about who should accompany Edwina on her adventure to the world in the book.

"Captain, I think you should bring a few capable helpers with you."

"That's right, for example, someone like me who can solve the problem of food during an adventure."

"Bullshit! Is food important in adventure? It's about excellent intelligence, environmental reconnaissance, and outstanding combat skills."

"How can you fight if you're not well-fed? What if you get food poisoning?"

"Besides, my magical items are far more useful than your few fireballs."

"Bruce is right. Besides throwing a few fireballs, what other fighting ability do you have?"

"However, food poisoning is a gross underestimation of the captain's wisdom. We are treasure hunters, and the most important thing in an adventure is treasure. And I am the best at finding treasure among all of us."

"That piece of shit..."

After a heated debate among Blue and the others, Edwina calmly said, "The ship can't be without people. Daniels and Orpheus need to go to Glagos. Blue, you are the first mate. The ship needs you to take command while I'm in the world of the book. Jodson, you will assist Blue."

"Danitz, come with us to the world of books."

As soon as the last sentence was spoken, the expressions of Blue and the others, who had been sullen, changed drastically.

"Why bring Danitz?"

"Captain, let Danitz stay as well; he still needs to catch up on his previous assignments."

"That's right, and Danitz didn't pay attention at all during his morning class today; he needs to catch up."

Danitz instantly changed position, standing in front of Edwina, glaring at everyone: "Bullshit, why can't it be me?"

"I am the best hunter on the ship," an excellent tracker, a superb trap expert, and a master hunter.

"Moreover, I'm better at ancient languages ​​than all of you guys combined, which will definitely come in handy in the world of books."

""

Edwina replied calmly, "I've read 'The Travels of Grossell,' and the latest part of it takes place in a snowy land where the arsonist's abilities are very useful."

"That's right, I'm very practical..."

'

Danitz paused abruptly in agreement... Could the captain mean for me to become their human furnace?

Even though I'm already a Sequence 7 Beyonder, I can't be used as a furnace to burn me...

While Danitz was still debating, Edwina had already convinced the other crew members to agree to her personnel allocation plan.

After Blue and the others left, she looked at Cyril, who was leaning against the window, and nodded gently, saying, "We can begin."

Cyril's figure flickered and appeared directly in front of the desk, placing his hand on the parchment-bound book.

A deep blue ripple spread out from his palm, from which fragments of ethereal starlight flew out, intertwining in the air and outlining a blurry doorway shimmering with water.

"Let's go."

As he spoke, he took a step forward, passing through the dark blue door as if through a curtain of water.

The next second, large snowflakes fell in front of him, and the howling wind blew in his ears. Then, the biting cold penetrated his clothes and slapped hard against his body.

hiss~

Behind him, Danitz, who was following closely behind, gasped sharply from the cold air.

After getting used to it a little, he couldn't help but complain, "What the hell is this place? The coldest polar sea I've ever been to is warmer than this."

As he was complaining, Klein and Edwina emerged one after the other from the illusory door behind him.

The two of them paused slightly as they stepped out of the door.

Klein glanced at Sirion expressionlessly, as if to say: Why didn't you say before that the world in the book was so cold?

Cyril shrugged silently: I forgot.

After a half-second silence, Klein turned to Edwina and asked, "What's next?"

After a brief moment of recollection, Edwina said, "The book tells the story of a giant named Grosser and his companions who go to fight a dragon named Julian."

"The 'King of the North,' Yurisian, lives in the Frost Kingdom; this must be it."

"We have two options: to reach out to the main characters in the book and talk to them, or to distance ourselves from them and travel to explore other parts of the world in the book."

"According to the information provided by Mr. Randolph, the main characters in this book are actually the previous owners of the book 'The Travels of Grossell,' who became trapped in the book for unknown reasons and became part of the story."

"By contacting them, we can obtain a wealth of authentic history from the Second, Third, and Fourth Periods."

"But there's an uncertain risk: will our contact with them trigger a plot that leads to the attack of the Northern King, Yurian?"

"Based on my previous research on Grosser's Travels, each advancement of the story is accompanied by the appearance of a new member of the protagonist's party."

"For example, before Mr. Randolph entered the world of the book, there was no part about the Frost Country in Grossell's Travels."

"After Mr. Randolph returned the book to me, I discovered that there was an extra section at the end, but perhaps because he hadn't interacted with the main character, the story didn't progress."

After Edwina finished speaking, Danitz immediately chimed in, "Then let's not contact that Grosser and go directly to another place."

"There's a problem here too." Klein shook his head slightly and looked at Edwina: "Judging from the development of the story you've told, this book is nearing its end."

"We can't tell whether the world in this book will disappear once the story ends, or what will happen to it."

"Furthermore, the appearance of the Frost Kingdom indicates that the final story has begun. If we don't push the story forward for a long time, will it fail, and what will happen if it fails?"

Edwina nodded slightly, then looked at Sir Ryan and asked, "Mr. Randolph, what is your opinion?"

"Me?" Sirion raised his chin and pulled out an ancient silver coin from his pocket, its front and back engraved with mysterious patterns and symbols. "Why don't we try letting the silver coin favored by fate make the decision?"

This comes from Señor's "Lucky Scales".

Klein released Señor's soul, took the magical item, and commissioned Bernadette to have her "craftsmen" turn the necklace into silver coins, which recently arrived.

As he spoke, the silver coin in his hand was flicked out with a clang, spun a few times in the air, and was caught by him again.

He then spread his hands, displaying the silver coins to the group.

"Facing upwards, it seems fate is pushing us forward."

Klein nodded expressionlessly and said coldly, "Teleport there."

"Tsk~, the way you're talking makes it sound like I'm your subordinate."

After making a sarcastic remark, he continued, "Grab my shoulder or the hem of my shirt."

Upon hearing this, Danitz and the others rushed forward, some putting their hands on his shoulders, others tugging at the corner of his clothes that were being blown by the wind.

The next second, the figures of the four people faded away quickly and disappeared from the spot.

After they disappeared, the footprints on the ground were quickly covered by falling snowflakes, as if no one had ever been there.

During his journey through the spirit world, Sirion suddenly slowed down and looked toward the reality that seemed to be separated from the spirit world by an invisible barrier.

Amidst the continuous, raging snowstorm, a translucent dragon, its wingspan estimated to exceed ten meters, swiftly traversed the blizzard.

Its scales resemble ice crystals, shimmering with a translucent light, making them the most beautiful and dreamlike part of its entire body.

"What's wrong?"

Danitz, whose inspiration was not very sharp, looked at the three people beside him with some doubt, whose gazes had suddenly become serious.

Cyril brought his index and middle fingers together and tapped them lightly in the air in front of him.

A faint, ethereal blue light rippled outwards, revealing a giant dragon with outstretched wings, estimated to be over ten meters long.

It resembles a close relative of the lizard, with an ugly face, dark blue eyes, and a thick, powerful tail. Behind it grows a pair of huge wings covered with a membrane, as if a mere flap could stir up wind and snow.

goo~

Danitz's gaze suddenly went blank, and an urge to cover his head and run away surged within him instinctively.
