Mystery: Starting with the Night Pope.

Chapter 321 Story

Klein watched as the sacrificial gate opened wide, and a scroll bound in brown parchment fell onto the bronze table.

"The Book of Calamities?" Klein barely recognized the few words written in Elvish.

Although the Elven race is far from the northern and southern continents where humans are widely distributed, their civilization has not been interrupted, and Elvish is a language that can mobilize mysterious powers.

"Very dangerous!" Klein had once divined about this book. It was indeed dangerous in the outside world, but he was quite confident about its effectiveness above this gray fog.

Hmm... Klein immediately placed the Dream Crystal Ball on the Book of Calamities.

During this process, he also held a paper doll in his left hand, ready to mobilize the power of the gray mist at any time.

Even the knowledge orb from the "Hidden Emperor" was floating around Klein.

Fortunately, the book does not exhibit any evil characteristics.

Whew… After the Dream Crystal Ball suppressed the Book of Calamities, Klein breathed a sigh of relief. This time it had been quite a risk.

However, the "stories" he heard from the Book of Calamities were enough to make him take the risk.

Klein threw out the paper figure in his hand, and the power of the gray mist was mobilized, causing the paper angel to appear above the gray mist.

This paper angel is a little different from the usual ones; its wings are dreamy seven-colored, and its face is Klein's own.

This is an "avatar," a paper figure that possesses all of Klein's own abilities, and has gained an extremely high status through the gray mist.

Without a doubt, this paper angel possesses even greater power than Klein himself.

The paper angel landed on the Book of Calamities and gradually transformed into a portrait. This was the power of the "person in the painting," and the paper angel itself formed a kind of seal.

In this seal, the gray fog becomes part of the seal, and even if the Book of Calamities has great harm, it can be controlled to a certain extent.

Klein finally dared to remove the Dream Crystal Ball from the Book of Calamities, but just to be on the safe side, he flipped through the Book of Calamities while holding the crystal ball.

"Let's do a divination first!" Klein took out a pendulum to perform a divination, confirming that the level of danger was within an acceptable range.

Klein then gently turned a page and began reading the history recorded in the Book of Calamities.

"The origins of Elvish are too ancient to be determined, but from what we know, the Elven era was the Second Age. Perhaps this is a book recording the history of the Second Age?!"

Klein himself had an extraordinary interest in history, and the Second Age, a period of history almost submerged in the long river of time, was the pursuit of all history enthusiasts.

The moment he opened the Book of Calamities, Klein's spiritual intuition skipped a beat. He hesitated for a moment, then extended his spirituality to the Book of Calamities.

He saw a beautiful woman sitting on a throne. Her hair was jet black and glossy, styled in a high bun, and she had delicate features. In her hand, she was playing with an intricately patterned golden wine cup.

Klein suddenly knew who the person in front of him was.

"Queen of Calamity" Goshinam, the queen of the elves!

The queen seemed to glance at Klein; her eyes were deep brown, but they held the depths of an ocean.

Whoosh!

In that instant, Klein felt countless sounds and images surging towards him like a tidal wave, completely engulfing him.

This is the scene that Cattleya had experienced before; the story unfolds before your eyes.

This is truly a book that records the stories of the elves!

The story begins with the union of the Elf King and the Queen of Calamity, marking the start of the Elf civilization's true maturity and its rise to prominence in the world.

"'Queen of Calamity' Goshinam...the Elf Queen?!" Klein knew he had struck gold this time.

The title "The Book of Natural Disasters" makes it easy to guess who the author is.

"The Elf King... the Giant King... the progenitor of the vampires..." One story after another began, presenting that period of history before Klein's eyes, and all of this was verified by the information Klein had obtained from "Little Sun".

He is now an expert on the history of the Second Age.

Klein devoured the Book of Calamities, constantly expanding his occult knowledge and historical understanding from the stories, until his spirit felt a slight sting.

"No, I can't look at too much at once!" Klein was facing the same situation as when he was facing the knowledge orbs again. Too much knowledge was flooding into his mind, and he couldn't handle it.

"But let's watch one more episode!" Klein suddenly felt like he was watching anime in his past life.

The protagonist of this anime is "Queen of Calamities" Goshinam.

"Sigh, a new villain has appeared, it's... the Dream Angel?!"

Huh? Klein felt a chill down his back, as if a spear of fate was pressed against his heart.

"The creator of the Second Era awakened and reclaimed his authority, while the Dream Angels are the angels of the creator of the Third Era, so it is normal for them to be hostile to other extraordinary races."

Klein's Adam's apple bobbed. Since becoming a Dream Chosen One, he had become hesitant to touch certain things.

Fortunately, we are above the gray fog, so it's not a big problem.

Klein, emboldened by the gray fog, continued watching.

"...So, the 'Queen of Calamity' still lost to the Dream Angel, which triggered a terrifying divine war..."

Klein suddenly felt a pang of regret, but the next moment his brow furrowed; his stance seemed a bit off...

"No, I can't look at this!" Klein's spiritual intuition warned him, and with great courage, he closed the Book of Calamities and pressed the Dream Crystal Ball onto it.

"After watching for so long, my stance has already been swayed by Goshinam's life experiences. If I continue watching, will my perception be distorted? Will I become completely biased towards the elves?!"

This is highly likely!

"This book is far more complex than it appears..." Klein's eyes cleared, and as he looked at the Book of Calamities, he decided against taking the Dream Crystal Ball off the book for the time being.

Overall, however, we still made a lot of money.

"Oh, right, this book is also related to 'Poseidon'!" Klein suddenly became excited.

……

Cattleya quickly returned to her flagship, the "Future".

Her first thought was to write a letter, but she stopped herself after taking out paper and pen.

"He is currently dealing with the angels of the Blood Worshippers and the Rose School; we must not disturb Him..."

"Moreover, such a mysterious and ancient being may have already taken control of my destiny the moment I was pulled into the gray fog..."

"He seems to have a good relationship with the Illusionary Realm. Could he know Her Majesty the Queen's father...?"

Various thoughts arose, and it seemed as if Her Majesty the Queen's teachings appeared before Cattleya's eyes.

Follow your heart's choice, and destiny lies within it.

Cattleya hesitated for a moment, then put down her pen; she had grown up.
