Mystery: The Undead Don't Die from Linking the Fire

"Herabergen has already fallen?!"

Klein was shaken and could hardly believe it.

After all, according to the "Mysterious Queen," this "Cherarch" was once a follower of the "Imaginary Dragon" Angelweid, and after the "Imaginary Dragon" fell, she chose to serve the ancient sun god.

Since Herabergen was able to gain the trust of the ancient sun god and become one of the eight archangels as the only non-human being, he must have had something special about him.

Perhaps Helabogen played a part in the downfall of the "Dragon of Imagination"!

For example, it may have already pledged allegiance to the ancient sun god, and even revealed some of the weaknesses of the "Imaginary Dragon" to the ancient sun god, which led to the fall of the "Imaginary Dragon".

If that's the case, then it's not surprising that the "Dragon of Wisdom," Herabergen, was able to gain the trust of the ancient sun god. Becoming a Cherubim as a foreigner might be a reward for his "loyalty."

Unfortunately, Hrabogan was clearly not truly loyal, and his betrayal at the last moment is the best proof of that.

Moreover, he not only betrayed them himself, but also dragged the "Wind Angel" and the "Pure White Angel" into the betrayal. Therefore, from a later perspective, the ancient sun god's trust in Heraborgen was tantamount to inviting a wolf into the house.

Both the 'Wind Angel' and the 'Pure White Angel' benefited greatly from that betrayal.

The former became the Lord of Storms, while the latter became the Eternal Sun; both were true gods.

As the instigator of this betrayal, it would have been natural for the Archangel Heraborgen to become the Goddess of Knowledge and Wisdom. However, the Mysterious Queen now tells him that Heraborgen not only failed to become the Goddess of Knowledge and Wisdom, but has already perished!

Klein couldn't help but ask:

"Do you have evidence in this regard?"

The "mysterious queen" glanced at him and said calmly:

"Why do you think we can call people by their first names without any punishment?"

Klein immediately realized what was happening.

Yes!

If Heraborg is the god of knowledge and wisdom, then His name itself is a taboo!

The moment they uttered the name, the other party would sense it—

Klein knows this all too well.

For example, he had only divined a drop of blood from the "Eternal Sun" and was almost burned to ashes by Him.

For example, he only divined the origin of the embers, but accidentally offended the Goddess of Night, causing the gray mist to be invaded by her...

If Heraborg is a true god, then there's no reason why Heraborg couldn't do what the Eternal Sun and the Goddess of Night could. The fact that they can freely discuss topics related to Heraborg, even calling her by her name, without any reaction from her, already speaks volumes!

Although the "Mysterious Queen" said that with the protection of the "Dark Moon," the gods would not be aware of what was happening here, provided that they did not call her by name.

Klein remained noncommittal, as he did not believe that the "Dark Moon" mentioned by the "Mysterious Queen" could shield the true god from sensing its true name.

This is not mere speculation, but a judgment made by Klein based on his own experience.

There's no reason why something like "Dark Moon" could do something that even the Gray Fog couldn't.

Even so, Klein still found the fall of Herabogen unbelievable.

Those who painstakingly worked for others gained nothing; all their efforts were in vain, even costing them their lives, making them the only two losers... well, the other loser was the ancient sun god.

"Too clever by half, she outsmarted herself and lost her life."

Klein's expression was a bit strange; this "Cherarcha" Herabergen was in a bit of a predicament!

But if Herabogen didn't become a god, then who is the current "god of knowledge and wisdom"?

And who is that "Dark Angel" Sasriel?

The "mysterious queen" also calls Sasriel by his name. Does this mean that the King of Angels has also fallen? If so, what caused Sasriel's demise?

Klein's eyes flickered slightly; he had a guess about the answer to the previous question, but he dared not think about it.

Klein tentatively asked:

How much do you know about this dream?

He suspected that the dreams here were related to the "Goddess of the Night," but he had no evidence.

The mysterious queen calmly said:

"This dream world is not vast; it consists of only two parts: the projection of the Giant King's Court on the opposite mountain peak and the Black Monastery on this side."

"The Court of Giants?"

Klein immediately pictured the magnificent architectural complex standing tall in the frozen twilight.

This is actually a projection of the 'Giants' Royal Court'!

The "mysterious queen" spoke softly but without emotion:

"This is my guess, because it looks a lot like the Twilight Temple of Fursac, and during the Fourth Age there were rumors that the God of War was an ancient giant who survived before the Great Cataclysm."

Not only the God of War, but even the Earth Mother Goddess… Klein thought to himself.

It seems that the 'mysterious queen' did not know as much information as he had imagined.

The reason she answered every question was probably to show goodwill to the person behind me. Heh, I only have myself behind me… Klein calmly replied:

"The true 'Kingdom of Giants' is in the 'Forsaken Land'."

He spoke of this matter in a nonchalant tone in order to highlight his own value and the status of the person behind him.

The "Mysterious Queen" stopped in her tracks, placed her right hand on the ornately sculpted armrest, turned slightly to look at Gehrman Sparrow, and said slowly:

"Legend has it that the path to the 'Forsaken Land' is hidden on the opposite mountain peak, within the projection of the 'Giant's Court'."

The "mysterious queen" continued her descent, then said:

"The black monastery here doesn't look very big, but each building and each floor represents a different place in this sea, and behind each door may lie the dream of a living being."

"There are still some remnants of dreams from certain deities here."

Klein said calmly, as if he had someone backing him up and already knew the situation.

The "mysterious queen" turned around, her azure eyes sweeping over Gehrman Sparrow's face:

"This sea area, this black monastery, holds many secrets, and I probably know less than one percent of them."

She suddenly asked:

"Any further questions?"

"no."

Klein shook his head slightly. He still had many questions, but he knew that every answer came at a price. The more questions he asked, the greater the price he would have to pay!

"Now it's your turn to answer my question."

The mysterious queen asked softly:

"Can you understand Russell's diary?"

Klein wasn't surprised by this and chuckled.

"The One I believe in is capable."

The "mysterious queen" looked at him with her azure eyes for several seconds before saying:

"I hope you can share with me the way of interpreting the script created by Emperor Roselle. I can fulfill most of your requests."

Klein neither confirmed nor denied it, but instead asked:

"Could you perhaps provide me with the corresponding high-sequence potion recipe?"

The mysterious queen, her aura restrained yet her composure undiminished, looked at him and said:

"Your destiny lies on the summit of the Hornach Mountains."

This... Klein was inexplicably shocked.

His eyes flickered slightly, he pondered for a moment, and then spoke:

"I can pass on the message, but I can't make any promises."

"When you need some help or a few clues about the 'Blasphemy Cards,' tell me the answer."

The "mysterious queen" looked at him for a long time, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, but simply said calmly.

Klein's vision blurred, and suddenly a parchment appeared on the table, on which a string of honored names was written in Hermes:

"The Holy Spirit who pursues knowledge;"

A lighthouse in a mysterious world;

Eyes that peer into fate;

The king of the sea.

The holy Bernadette Gustave.

"Five-stage?"

Klein raised an eyebrow.

In the mystical world, honorific names carry profound meaning.

Its most important significance lies in its ability to accurately point to itself.

Furthermore, the greater one's power, the shorter the name one needs to use when praying.

Therefore, although the names of deities are very long, usually only three parts are used.

In contrast, the titles of angels and demigods are much longer.

The former usually consists of four sections, while the latter usually consists of five sections; even one section less is unacceptable.

Furthermore, in order to accurately refer to themselves, the last part of their honorific name is usually their real name.

For example, the sea god Kavituwa, who was "possessed" by Klein, has the following name:

The ocean and the spirit world's benefactors,

Protectors of the Roside Islands

Dominator of marine life

The controller of tsunamis and storms

Great Kavituwa!

Since the "Mysterious Queen" also uses a five-stage honorific name, does this mean that she is also just a demigod?

or.

She had actually become a Sequence 2 angel, but deliberately did not change her name in order to mislead her enemies.

Bernadette gave him no answer, because she had already left.

Inside the Earl of Hall's luxurious villa in Backlund, Queens.

Audrey had just tried on the three evening gowns she had chosen for the day and was sitting in a cushioned chair thinking about what accessories to pair with each one, which option she preferred, and what her mother's opinion would be.

There is a royal banquet tonight, and Earl Hall has been invited; she will be attending.

In fact, banquets were rarely held in Backlund during this period.

Because only during the social season, which is from June to the New Year each year, do the nobles of the Kingdom of Rune traditionally come to Backlund to attend various banquets, balls, and salons. These are very important events for them, and many things are finalized during these months.

After the New Year, the landed nobles will gradually return to their fiefdoms, to their own mansions, castles, country estates, and large plantations, to spend leisurely and pleasant times.

It is now February, and most of the nobles have already returned to their fiefdoms.

Only a small number of nobles, such as Earl Hall, who were too busy with official duties to leave, remained in Backlund.

Audrey could foresee that there wouldn't be many nobles attending the dinner tonight, and it wouldn't be as lively as a New Year's Eve party.

Of course, although the number of nobles who had the opportunity to attend the banquet was small, their status was much higher than that of those nobles who returned to their fiefdoms.

Most of them are high-ranking government officials who are too busy formulating and implementing various government policies to enjoy leisurely time, but this often means that they have more real power than those nobles who enjoy leisure.

Many decisions that truly impact the national level are often made during this period.

For the Hall family, these past six months have undoubtedly been a period of rapid growth. They must seize every opportunity to solidify their foundation and strive for even greater profits...

Just as she was thinking, the girl suddenly noticed that there was another figure in the mirror.

She subconsciously turned her head and saw the woman in the black dress lying lazily on her soft bed.

Audrey asked, somewhat surprised:

"Kalulla? When did you get back?"

Carla waved her hand lazily and said:

"Didn't you just see it? Why do you need to ask again?"

Audrey remained unmoved, which matched her impression of Carla, and even the expected answer was remarkably similar.

Audrey hesitated for two seconds before speaking:

"There's something I'd like to discuss with you."

"What?"

"My family has some low-sequence extraordinary beings. May I tell them your name so that they can also enter the dream world?"

Karula's lips curled up slightly as she smiled and said:

"Of course you can. You don't need to ask me about these things in the future. You can tell anyone you want."

Audrey asked, somewhat puzzled:

Aren't you worried there will be too many people?

Karula said meaningfully:

"Too much? I'd only complain about not having enough."

The more people enter the dream world, the more people borrow the power of 'fire,' and the more people know that history, the more advantageous it will be for what she wants to do. She wishes all extraordinary people could enter the dream world!

call……

Klein let out a silent sigh; the ruins of the God War were simply too dangerous.

If you don't sleep at night, you'll disappear; if you do sleep, you'll worry about encountering misfortune in your dreams.

During the day, all sorts of strange and monstrous things will also appear, which is extremely annoying.

He was just about to lie down and rest for a while when he suddenly heard light footsteps approaching.

Knock knock knock, his door was knocked open.

"Who?" Klein sat up abruptly.

"It's me," came Cattleya's voice.

Klein approached with some confusion and opened the door.

He didn't ask what was wrong, but looked at the other person indifferently, his gaze saying everything.

Cattleya pushed up her heavy glasses and said:

"Coming out of that area won't take us back to where we entered. We're less than 100 nautical miles from Toscati, and it takes about three days to get to Naz. Where would you like to return to?"

"The entrance and exit are not in the same place?" Klein asked, slightly taken aback, seeking confirmation.

"Can we enter that sea area from here?"

"No, you'll fall directly into that bottomless crevice that cuts off the ocean. According to the divination, anyone who does that will truly die."

Cattleya gave a brief explanation.

I see… Klein thought for a moment and said:

"To Toscate Island."

He didn't choose Nas because the next tarot gathering was approaching, and he didn't want to do something that would take a lot of time on the "Future".

"Okay." Cattleya had no objections.

As she turned and walked toward the captain's cabin, Klein narrowed his eyes slightly.

It seems she was unaware that the "Mysterious Queen" had already boarded the ship.
