Mystery: Start with the Reader

What Abner is reading is not Russell's diary. After all, this is in front of Forsi. He still has to pretend that he doesn't understand "Rosel's text", so he asked Forsi which page of the diary he wanted. After that, he put it away and planned to read it privately when he got back.

What he is currently holding in his hand is actually a description of the scene that Forsi has dreamed about in the past few days. It is a genuine "Miss Wall's Diary".

Hearing Forsi's complaint at this moment, Abner put down the paper in his hand and responded with a smile: "Would you like me to give you some 'hypnosis' and 'suggestions', which can help you fall asleep quickly."

"Hypnosis? Suggestion?" Fors knew that the other party was joking, but he still looked at Abner with pretense of wariness, hugged the quilt to his chest, and said in a pretense of caution, "This... this sounds very evil. ...Could it be that you have some bad idea?"

Of course, she was just responding to the joke, not really afraid of what the other party would do. After all, if Abner wanted to do anything, she couldn't resist... Well, even her willingness to resist was not too strong...

In fact, she had dreamed about a similar "hypnotized" scene when she was in Backlund. In that dream, she did a lot of shameful things under Abner's "suggestion", and even Xio got involved. ...After waking up from the dream, I had to take a shower overnight...

This was also the reason why she subconsciously hugged the quilt tightly when she heard the other party talking about this.

On the other side, Abner guessed what Forsi was thinking without "mind-reading", and couldn't help but feel speechless. He felt that Forsi was indeed a writer, and there were really many "dramas" in his mind... Although she The reason why I had such a dream in the first place was more or less due to the "magic mirror", but the "magic mirror" did not design the content of the dream...

Even if I really hypnotized you, I wouldn't do anything like that...Do you think you are treating me as a pervert? Abner secretly complained a few words, shook his head, brought up the topic, and said: "Actually, no matter whether you fall asleep now or not, when the time comes, the dream about that ruins will actively pull you into it."

"Have you figured out the nature of the ruins?" Forsi perked up after hearing this. "What exactly is it? Why did it appear in the dream and come to me?"

"There are indeed some discoveries." Abner picked up a page in "Forsi's Diary", pointed to the content on it and said, "After your several explorations, I found that it was originally a city-state, but in more than a hundred years, They lost their gods before, and then the apocalypse came, and the survivors could only survive in cold and hunger?"

"Yes, I couldn't touch anything when I first entered, but I was also not hindered by the environment there, so I took the opportunity to learn a lot about the history of that city-state...

"But as the dreams became more and more real after entering it a few times, I became more restricted. Last night, I even had five senses and could touch things in the city-state ruins... so I intuitively felt that A kind of cold, hunger and despair." Forsi recalled and recounted, and his mood couldn't help but appear a little low.

She calmed down and then continued to ask: "Is there any problem with this?"

"The time when the gods fell as recorded by the 'city-state survivors' was shortly after the fall of the Gustavus Dynasty..." As he spoke, Abner took another notebook - the one Forsi had read in the past few days. The information collected from the old people in the city continued,

“In the memories of some old people, the last place where the Three-Eyed Thunderbird appeared twenty years ago was the giant rock at the western foot of Mount Kalal...

"According to the information provided by another old man, Giant Wood Rock got its name because there was indeed a huge tree planted there more than a hundred years ago!"

"But after the fall of the Gustavus dynasty, the tree was burned away by the sudden fire from the sky, leaving only the dead roots, which continued to rot under the erosion of time..."

Forsi frowned upon hearing this and asked in confusion: "But what does this have to do with the dream ruins?"

"This involves a story..." When Abner said this, he suddenly squinted his eyes, as if he noticed something. Then he took out a lens and placed it in front of his right eye, while continuing to think to Fors, "In A long time ago, there was a gentleman who liked to drink and fell asleep under the big tree in his yard...

"...In the dream, he came to a city-state and married the city-state's princess to help the lord govern the country..."

Forsi thought the plot was a bit cliche at first, but gradually he became fascinated and immersed in the story of "A Dream" that was Westernized by Abner.

When the story ended and she came back to her senses, she was surprised to find that she was once again in the ruins of that city-state.

But this time, she really felt "real", and the surrounding environment no longer felt half as "illusory" as when she came in several times before.

"Abner!" Forsi held a talisman and shouted around in a slight panic.

Because unlike before, she seemed to have lost her previous "night vision" ability. Now her eyes were completely dark and she couldn't see anything clearly. Such an environment would inevitably make people feel frightened.

"I'm here." As Abner's voice sounded, a red fireball also appeared in his hand, lighting up a few meters.

Forsi then breathed a sigh of relief, came to Abner's side, calmed down, and asked: "The meaning of your story just now is... that this ruin is actually the big tree outside the small city? It was destroyed by the sky fire. Is that why this place is like this?”

Abner nodded first, then shook his head and said: "The 'Peeper' path will gain an ability in the high sequence, called 'Mysterious Reappearance'.

"This ability can draw power from the mastered occult knowledge to create magic or witchcraft. The less people know the corresponding occult knowledge and the less it is spread, the more powerful this spell will be.

"Ordinary demigods can only use this ability to create single-effect skills with the help of story prototypes.

"But Russell was once the 'Emperor of Knowledge' in Sequence 1. He should have used the power of 'knowledge' to really create a city-state on the boundary between dreams and reality!

“He claimed to be a god and asked the ‘people’ in the city-state to build a palace for him…

"This may be some kind of back trick by Russell. Unfortunately, the people of the Eternal Blazing Sun Church discovered it and burned the 'real' part of the country, that is, the big tree. The other part of his dream was also affected. , although it has not completely collapsed, it has entered the 'doomsday', and destruction is only a matter of time..."

Abner selected some of the reasoning results he obtained after "analyzing" and "decrypting" and told them to Fors, concealing Russell's purpose of establishing such a "nation" - to build the tomb of the "Black Emperor"!

Yes, Abner guessed that this dream ruins was originally one of the mausoleums built secretly by Russell. He borrowed the "mysterious reappearance" of the angelic level to turn trees into a country, and turned ants and insects into intelligent dream "people" as his subjects. This method is indeed very clever...

"It's a pity that after Russell's death, this country was still discovered by the church... Although it was not completely destroyed, it also lost its role as a mausoleum and could not carry Russell's resurrection.

"However, it may also be that Russell deliberately exposed it to cover up the location of other tombs, or to cover up his other purposes..."

While Abner was thinking, Forsi finally finished digesting what he just said. Although he was surprised, he still had a lot of doubts in his heart:

"The mausoleum of Emperor Russell...why do you keep attracting me here?"

Abner thought for a moment and then replied: "There are three possibilities...

"First, Emperor Russell and Mr. Door are acquaintances... and you are contaminated by Mr. Door's power, and you are an apprentice of the Abraham family. You can hear his ravings when the moon is full... Maybe there is something in this ruins Mr. Door's related items or legacy... That's why I chose you.

"Second, this is Benjamin's arrangement... Since he knew about you a hundred years ago, it is not surprising that he arranged some means in his own fiefdom.

"Third, the real purpose of Russell or Benjamin, or this ruins, is actually the existence behind you, the existence that protects you from being disturbed by the murmurs of the 'door'!"
