Building a TrapChapter 234: Building a Trap

Although Triss's face turned red because of Klein's words, she finally endured it and was thrown into a temporary room by Klein for her to live in for the next few days.

According to the agreement between her and Klein, Triss would be allowed to disembark when the Lost Homeland arrived at the next port. At the same time, as a collaborator, Triss would also conduct investigations on the Witch Cult at various ports and simultaneously provide Klein with the information.

Klein will later help Triss hunt down Vice Admiral Disease Tracy.

After dealing with matters related to Triss Chick, Klein looked toward the distant sea. He looked at the Golden Dream coming toward him, and gave a brief order to Danitz who was waiting beside him:

"—pull the boat over."

Danitz was stunned for a second before speaking to Klein, his tone filled with joy:

"Yes! Captain Sparrow."

When he thought that he would soon see his captain again, Danitz couldn't help but start to feel happy.

He worked hard to run to the side of the ship first and began to command the zombies to drive the "Lost Homeland" towards Edwina.

This is really... Well, the power of love is really great... Seeing this scene, Klein couldn't help but laugh in a place where no one was paying attention. He shook his head slightly, controlling his expression to gradually turn cold, and walked towards the deck.

Danitz and Nina, crew members who served as boatswains on the pirate general's ship, were very good at commanding other sailors to control the ship. Soon, the "Lost Homeland" and the "Golden Dream" were parked parallel to each other steadily, and even the waves of the violent sea could not cause the ships to shake too much.

Edwina was wearing a pair of dark trousers and a pair of cowhide boots on her legs. The boot cuffs tightened the trouser legs, outlining her beautiful calf curves.

This "Vice Admiral Iceberg" had a high nose bridge and slightly thin lips. Unlike what Klein had seen in his dream before, this time she did not style her hair too delicately. Instead, she wore a captain's hat commonly worn by pirates, letting her hair fall from above her right eyebrow and be tucked behind her ear.

This is "Iceberg Vice Admiral" Edwina Edwards, one of the "Seven Generals of the Sea"!

Although her bounty is not as high as "Star Admiral" Cattleya, she still has a bounty of 10,000 pounds...

Klein calmly reviewed the information related to Edwina in his mind. He took a slight step forward and looked at Vice Admiral Iceberg in front of him.

Having said that, he took off the black captain's hat on his head, nodded slightly, and greeted Edwina in a calm tone:

"Hello, Madam Captain."

"Good evening, Captain Sparrow."

Seeing that the captain, who was always known for his madness and indifference, was so polite, Edwina's tone became a little softer. She also nodded slightly in return and said gently to Klein in front of her:

"Please allow me to pay my respects to you, Admiral Aurora."

There was a hint of humility in her tone, as well as some tentative implications. Klein nodded slightly, his tone bland:

"It's just some gossip from busybodies."

Hearing Klein's words, Vice Admiral Iceberg Edwina only smiled slightly and looked at Klein who was talking to her from a distance: "Let's talk about hunting down Admiral Blood?"

"Okay." Klein nodded calmly, and the "Lost Homeland" under his feet suddenly split into two shadows, extending towards Edwina's "Golden Dream". Klein stepped on the shadows and walked forward silently like a cat.

Behind him, Cattleya, Sharon and Leonard looked at each other - in their opinion, apart from the captain, Leonard and Sharon were the ones who could have considerable say on the ship.

After a simple eye contact, Cattleya and Leonard followed Klein forward, while Sharon remained on the ship like a puppet. Danitz on the side seemed a little excited and followed them automatically, even trotting back to the "Golden Dream" that he had been thinking about.

After taking a look at the people on the "Lost Homeland" and his captain walking towards the captain's room, Danitz automatically turned his legs in another direction and went to drink and brag with the sailors on the deck.

He had to embellish his experiences during this period!

During the days on the Lost Homeland, everything else was fine, the food was somewhat guaranteed, and Danitz even found that several talented zombies on the ship had learned to cook. The only thing that Danitz found most difficult was that there was no strong liquor that the pirates loved most on this ship, and at most there was only some light beer stored as drinking water.

Because light beer is easier to preserve and less likely to spoil, and the drinking water is also preserved using various ritual magics, which makes Danitz feel that this is a bit extravagant.

Danitz felt that this "Admiral Aurora" Gehrman Sparrow didn't look like a pirate at all.

——What pirate doesn't like to drink strong liquor?

On the other side, "Vice Admiral Iceberg" Edwina looked at Cattleya, the great pirate in front of her who was once known as the "Admiral of the Stars", and couldn't help feeling a little complicated.

Perhaps it is because you feel the twists and turns of fate, or perhaps you feel some regrets and pity, or even feel uneasy about your future fate.

The "Star Pirates" who were stronger than the "Adventurers" he led were defeated in an instant, so how long could he hold out at sea?

Now there are more official Beyonders at sea...

Edwina had even begun to wonder whether she should bring her other crew members back to the Church of Knowledge to help them find a better way out.

The entire pirate group she led was closer to a team of adventurers than pirates. They would only rob merchant ships and passenger ships when they were extremely poor, and would not harm innocent people. For these pirates, it was not too difficult to make them members of the Church of Knowledge.

After all, these members are not extremely vicious.

——The sea is too dangerous now.

——Even Edwina began to reflect on whether she could lead her crew members away from the sea with her strength and judgment?

Edwina looked dazed for a moment, she gathered her thoughts a little, found a chair and sat down. Edwina turned her head to look at the three people standing opposite her, and slightly extended her hand to them:

"Please sit down."

In addition to Edwina's desk, there is also a long sofa in Edwina's captain's room. Rather than calling it a captain's room, it is more like a civilian office. There are many books behind Edwina's desk to the right, and on the shelf there are some ordinary collections belonging to Vice Admiral Iceberg.

Her gaze lingered on Cattleya's face again, then she turned and looked at Gehrman Sparrow in front of her:

"According to the information sent by my informants in the South Continent and the Rorsted Islands, it has been confirmed that the Blood Admiral has completed a slave trade in the South Continent and is preparing to return from the South Continent to Toscat Island in the Rorsted Islands."

"If we follow the previous plan to hunt down Admiral Blood, then the route from Toscat Island to the South Continent is where Admiral Blood must pass. In addition, the most likely place he will go is the small island between Toscat and Olawei to replenish his supplies and sell the slaves he captured before."

Having said that, Edwina paused for a moment and spoke to German Sparrow in front of her.

"Considering that Admiral Amyrius of the Kingdom of Loen is stationed on Oravi Island, I think Admiral Blood is unlikely to choose to go to this island."

The admiral of the Kingdom of Loen, the "Weaver" Amyrius Levitt, was a demigod of the "Judge" path. If the purpose of the "Blood Admiral" was to transport slaves, it would definitely not be set in such a place.

Because for him, selling slaves in a place with an official demigod was completely unnecessary.

"Blood Admiral" Senior is cruel and crazy, and he will most likely not choose a place where he would have to pay a higher price to carry out slave trafficking.

"You mean we can go to this route and wait for Admiral Blood?"

Klein's tone changed slightly, and he looked at Edwina. Edwina nodded, and said to him while glancing at the two people behind Klein.

"Yes, that's it."

Edwina nodded slightly. "For me, the 'Blood Admiral' is also a hidden danger. He has recently been planning to seize the 'Key of the God of Death' that I obtained earlier. He also had his subordinates destroy my arrangements in Bayam and attack Danitz."

"He sent someone to tell me that he wanted me to spend money to buy the Death Key. However, I didn't dare to deliver it face to face as he requested."

Edwina smiled slightly: "When that time comes, he will definitely not bring money, but a siege that he has prepared well."

"——This is indeed what Blood would do, so I am inclined to proactively hunt him down." Klein paused for a moment, then nodded to Edwina.

"I have killed his crew members before, and I have already forged a grudge against him. Given his character, he will not let me go easily."

"In that case, I'll have someone arrange this matter later." Edwina crossed her index fingers and placed her hands on the table. She looked at Klein in front of her with her light blue eyes and gave him some suggestions:

"Our two ships cannot sail together. This will make them too conspicuous and easier to be discovered."

"Besides, during this period of time, you, me, Admiral Blood, the mysterious queen's fleet, the newly emerged pirate king 'Star Tyrant' and Cattleya's pirate group have appeared in the Sonia Sea." At this point, Edwina paused for a moment:

"Perhaps there is an unknown existence in the Sonia Sea that is pulling us closer, which may allow us and Admiral Blood's pirate ship to gather together in advance."

This sounds like the model of the "Law of Aggregation of Extraordinary Characteristics" or the description of the "Fate" approach to controlling fate and probability... Klein couldn't help but think in his heart. He was silent for a while, looked at Edwina and nodded:

"We can form two routes, surround the route where the Blood Admiral may appear from both sides, and then use ritual magic to connect with each other. If either side encounters the Blood Admiral, we can support each other."

"Okay, regarding this matter, I will let Danitz be responsible for implementing it. And he will be responsible for staying on your ship and contacting me."

Edwina said to Klein calmly.

At the same time, Mr. Four Thousand Two Hundred Pounds, who was drinking and bragging with others on the deck, shuddered involuntarily, not knowing what was going on.

"Is it Hermann who is thinking about me again?" He complained in a low voice, in a voice that only he could hear.

...

"…It's a deal."

Klein nodded slightly and turned his gaze to Edwina again: "Regarding what we talked about before, the travel notes you mentioned, where is that extraordinary item?"

"You mean 'Groselle's Travels' and 'Key of Death'?" Edwina's eyes flashed.

When she mentioned that she and Klein were going to study the secret of this extraordinary item together, Edwina's eyes clearly brightened.

After a moment, she stood up and looked at Klein in front of her:

"Please follow me."

Seeing Edwina standing up, Klein also stood up and followed Edwina out of the captain's room and walked down the stairs to a half-open room.

This room is located on the second floor of the Golden Dream. Compared with the cabin below, the lighting here is quite bright. Next to it is the pirates' restaurant. Edwina took a deep breath, opened the door and walked in.

Although it was next to the ship's restaurant, the room that Edwina brought Klein to did not have the strange smell of other pirate ships.

"This is the room where we store the evidence of our treasure hunt. Some of them are souvenirs, and some will be used for research."

Edwina explained simply.

Klein followed Edwina into the room. He took a quick look at the messy things in front of him and found a coin in a photo frame.

Klein, who had been taught the knowledge of the Fourth Epoch by Gao Wei using a cramming teaching method, quickly identified what this extremely asymmetrical gold coin was. Edwina wanted to introduce it, but she heard Klein suddenly say,

"Is this a gold coin from the Solomon Empire?"

 I went to learn how to drive today, so this is the only update I'll do. I'll probably update in the afternoon or evening tomorrow. I've already completed 13 chapters, and with the four chapters I added before, I still have 17 chapters left.

  I'll try to pay it off next month. I was very busy last week.

(End of this chapterGroselle's TravelsChapter 235 Groselle's Travels

Edwina looked at the new pirate general in front of her with a little surprise. In her impression, except for Cattleya who seemed to have a relationship with the "mysterious queen" Bernadette, most of the other pirate generals were rough and their style of doing things was closer to the impression of pirates in the minds of people at sea.

However, the "Aurora Admiral" in front of her, who was rumored to be a member of the Aurora Society, seemed to have a rich reserve of knowledge, unlike the other Aurora Society members she knew.

Of course, this may also be related to the fact that the reputation of the Aurora Club has improved since last year... Has the "True Creator" returned to normal?

What a pity... Edwina sighed in her heart, feeling a little regretful. She paused for a moment and told Klein in front of her:

"Yes, this type of gold coin is very rare now, and the only way to know about it is in the church's confidential information and research on the Fourth Epoch. Therefore, although this gold coin has no extraordinary function, I still put it in the most conspicuous place here."

"For the Solomon Empire, this is a very valuable historical document for historical research."

Even the gold coins have to be made into irregular shapes. It seems that this is one of the unreasonable but strict and complex "rules" in the Solomon Empire? Klein looked at the gold coin thoughtfully and nodded his head slightly.

In this way, it is understandable that this type of gold coins would become extremely rare. After all, after Solomon's death, the rules he established were gradually destroyed by other gods.

Just like Intis now, the compulsory education that Huang Tao opened at that time is almost gone...

Thinking of the current situation, where Intis seemed to be replicating the "business first" doctrine, Klein couldn't help but sigh.

Unlike the Kingdom of Loen, since compulsory education is also a rule system established by Roselle, the "Guardian of Business" Eternal Sun has secretly influenced the number of compulsory schools to decrease significantly, and a large number of civilians have lost their space for advancement.

"This is truly a meaningful collection."

Klein nodded slightly and decided to get straight to the point, not giving these knowledgeable Beyonders who love to show off their knowledge in public or those who want to jump to the "White Tower" path any more opportunities to show off their knowledge: "Where is Groselle's Travel Notes?"

"Ah..." Edwina, who had wanted to introduce her other collections to Klein, reluctantly turned her eyes away from her other collections and took two steps forward with Klein.

After walking around the bookshelf, a table appeared in front of them. On the table was a black iron key roughly the size of a lyre and a book made of parchment. On the cover of the book was written a line of ancient Feysac language:

Groselle's Travels

This looks like it... It's old enough, but could it be an extraordinary item? Klein looked at the book, took a quick look at its specific appearance, then raised his head and asked Edwina:

"In your opinion, is there anything unusual about this book? Why do you think it is a magical item?"

"Yes, judging from the material alone, it is not an ordinary item. I have tested this item, and none of the methods I have tried so far can damage this book."

Edwina briefly introduced the origin and specific content of Groselle's Travel Notes, and said to Klein,

"You can study the specific abilities and side effects of this extraordinary item. As long as you can find out how to use it correctly, I will give you a reward of 3,000 pounds."

After saying that, Edwina added: "Even if I can't come up with specific content, as long as there are research results related to it, I can give you a reward of more than 1,000 pounds."

There is such a good thing. I can just do divination... Klein did not show any other expression on his face. He said to Edwina:

"Let me check the book first."

Klein passed over the huge "Death Key" that Edwina had placed on the table and turned directly to look at the travelogue. For him, he could tell that the huge key had the characteristics of a giant, and it might be related to the Giant King's Court in the God-Forsaken Land.

But Klein was not in a hurry. Firstly, Edwina had not entrusted him with the task. Secondly, even if he took the key above the gray fog, he would not be able to use it for divination because of the lack of the prerequisites.

However, if there is an opportunity later, I can directly ask the real creator about this key. No matter how precise the divination is, it is not as fast as asking the eyewitnesses directly. After all, hehe, this key might be dropped by the real creator when he fought the giant...

Some blasphemous thoughts inexplicably flashed through Klein's mind. He shook his head and put the messy thoughts behind him.

After picking up the book with his hands, he looked at the "Travels of Groselle" placed in front of him and quickly browsed through its contents.

Apart from the content related to the characters of different eras, the content of this book is a somewhat clumsy novel. Many of the plots made Klein, who had experienced the era of online literature, want to complain. For example, the protagonists became familiar with each other as soon as they met, or jumped to the next scene inexplicably. It seemed as if Klein had missed a paragraph, as if some logic was missing.

"The parchment used in this book was made at least 3,000 years ago, so I think the book is worth at least 8,000 pounds. If it is truly an extraordinary item, paying you 3,000 pounds is a fair price."

Edwina reminded Klein, and Klein nodded slightly as he flipped through the book. As he read the book, many thoughts popped up in his mind.

Is this a book that contains a prophecy, or was it made by someone using ancient parchment? This book can't be just a simple prank, right? Who would do such a silly thing?

- Yes, Amon would.

After thinking about this, Klein inexplicably became more cautious in his attitude towards the book. After seeing Klein's cautious performance, Edwina's breathing became a little nervous.

She wanted to know if the members of the Aurora Society had some special way of identifying extraordinary items.

But, unfortunately, you probably won't get the answer from me...well, at least not now.

Klein looked at Edwina, who was in front of him and wanted to know whether he had come to any conclusion. He thought silently in his heart. Klein closed the book and looked up at her:

"I need to take this book back and study it carefully. If you are worried, we can sign a notarized document."

He obviously couldn't take the book above the gray fog in front of them. This would expose his biggest secret. Hearing what Klein said, Edwina nodded silently:

"Okay."

"But there is no need to sign a contract. I believe in your character."

Believe in my character... Klein inexplicably felt a little ashamed of his current identity that was somewhat related to the Aurora. Before, his friends at most called him a "historian with a conscience", but after Klein left Tingen, no one had called him "conscientious" for a long time.

After I finish my recent work, I can go see Melissa and Benson... With Lao Gao's protection in the Southern Continent, their safety should be guaranteed to a certain extent... But according to the words of the Goddess of Night, a war may break out between the Northern Continent and the Southern Continent in the next few years. Where is truly safe?

Unless I take them to the God Forsaken Land... Hehe, the God Forsaken Land that the residents of Silver City hated so much now seems to be far away from disputes and is actually a paradise. When I am promoted to a demigod, I can also go there to take a look...

If it is really safe there, I still hope that Benson and Melissa can live their lives in peace. Even if they lose a little freedom, it is better than dying in the war...

Klein felt a little melancholy for some reason. He talked with Edwina and discussed the follow-up cooperation.

Before leaving the Golden Dream, Edwina stood on the deck and said to Klein sincerely:

"Captain Sparrow, I noticed that the composition of your crews at sea and on land is somewhat discordant. If you have the energy, you can try to develop some informants in various places and add some private ports in certain places. This way, you don't have to face official pursuit every time you go out to sea."

I would like to, but all of this costs money! Klein couldn't help but roar in his heart, but his face gradually became polite:

"Thank you for your suggestion. I will consider it."

...

"Dear Mr. Azik:"

"I wonder what you've been doing lately? According to the last time we communicated through letters, you said you wanted to go to the southern continent to look for your forgotten memories. I don't know if you got what you wanted and recovered your precious memories, but I sincerely hope that you have recovered some of your memories now."

Klein's pen paused for a moment, then continued to write smoothly on the paper.

"A few days ago, I also took a boat to the Southern Continent and purchased a manor there. This manor will serve as the first base in the Southern Continent for a company that has a close relationship with me."

"Also, I have entrusted a powerful Beyonder to manage the company on my behalf. I'm sorry, due to the sequence restrictions of that powerful person, I cannot write his name here, otherwise it might lead to some fateful connection."

Klein hesitated for a moment, but still did not write Ouroboros as "He".

"During my three-day journey to the Southern Continent, I found that the Southern Continent is now extremely dangerous. There are an unusually large number of Beyonders here, which makes me feel that something terrible is brewing here. If you haven't noticed, then I think some Beyonders may have made plans against you here, so please be careful."

He thought for a moment and added this sentence. Klein would not worry about the strength of Azik, the descendant of the God of Death, but now Ince Zangwill was planning something with "0-08" in the southern continent.

Considering that Ins had been promoted to the "Death God" path and had cooperated with the Witch Cult, Klein was particularly worried that he would use the Level 0 Sealed Artifact in his hand to plot something related to Azik.

"During this period, I have investigated some intelligence about the Southern Continent. As far as I know, the Rose School is now wreaking havoc in the Southern Continent. If you know any relevant news, I hope to learn from you about the situation of the Rose School in the Southern Continent. If you can tell me, it will be of great help to what I want to do in the future."

"At the same time, I recently received a message from the church that the 'artificial death god' seems to be related to the Church of the Night, and they are currently collecting extraordinary items related to the death god. Perhaps your memory is involved among them?"

"The Goddess of Night has sent down a revelation. Because of this revelation, the Church of Night now has a softer attitude towards the Southern Continent than before. According to the internal information I got from the church, at least the Archbishop of Backlund was trying to contact the High-Sequence Beyonders of the Path of the God of Death, but I don't know if this is related to the current situation in the Southern Continent."

"I don't know whether such a plan involves you, but I will list it here for your reference."

Klein stared at the letter in front of him, his expression changing several times in an instant. He seemed to have made a decision, allowing the power of Sefirah Castle to slightly infiltrate reality, giving himself a layer of protection.

What he was about to write was related to the "starry sky". Klein had already learned from the Goddess of Night that Azik was a descendant of the "God of Death" and had a Sequence 2 level in terms of personality, so he already knew things related to the starry sky.

The reason why Klein did not take the letter to Sefirah Castle to write it was because after his power and that of Sefirah Castle were further integrated, the power of Sefirah Castle would uncontrollably invade the things brought to Sefirah Castle. (Note 1)

For a messenger who relies on the spirit world to send letters, Klein feels that it is very likely that Amon, who may have an avatar in the spirit world, will discover and intercept him.

If it was just an interception, it would be fine, but I was afraid that Amon would steal the fate of the messenger. I later saw that the messenger was wearing a monocle. (Note 2)

"By the way, I have now become a Sequence 5 'Master of Secret Dolls'. I want to ask you one thing. Can high-sequence Beyonders in the 'Gate' path have the ability to cross the sea of ​​stars and travel to other planets? In addition to the abstract starry sky, does this world have a real 'starry sky' that Beyonders can set foot on?"

"Thanks to a certain being who is protecting me, I can now gain this knowledge."

"Your sincere student, Klein Moretti."

Klein put away the pen in his hand, and after carefully checking it, he summoned his messenger Renette and handed her the letter.

Lao Gao, you rarely talk to me about the starry sky, maybe because you are afraid that I will be contaminated by this "toxic" knowledge.

But I really want to go home... "Tianzun" took us away from the earth, and I really want to find a way home... (Note 3)

Klein sighed, reached into his pocket, took out a Loen gold coin, and handed it to Lennit.

"Please deliver this letter to Mr. Azik."

 Note 1: This is a foreshadowing

  Note 2: At a certain Head & Shoulders (not) lady's place, Amon directly stole the identity of the mouse demigod and Hazel, a Beyonder, didn't notice it at all

  Note 3: To prevent some readers from forgetting, I will mention again that the real Creator and Dark Night have always been worried about Xiao Ke's mental state and did not tell Xiao Ke the truth; Lao Gao led Xiao Ke's thoughts to the direction of "he was taken away from the earth by Tianzun", and there are few extraordinary characteristics outside the barrier, which is consistent with Klein's memory before he crossed over (in Klein's impression, the "Earth" has the initial information, which is consistent with the information of the several pillars that Klein got from Gaowei)

  So now Xiao Ke doesn't have many channels to learn about the Outer Gods. The Mother Goddess is one, but Xiao Ke doesn't dare to believe it! Although Gao Wei revealed his real name, Gao Wei Overlooker, in front of Xiao Ke, Xiao Ke thought it was a vest made like his own "The Fool". At most, he was a little cautious because of the Outer God characteristics inherited by Lao Gao, but because he was also a Chinese time traveler, Xiao Ke had a certain favorability bonus.

  (Just like Lao Ai next door, but Lao Gao is a real time traveler, so it's not a lie)

  After all, Xiao Ke is not a member of Qidian Orphanage (but he doesn't know he is? It feels a bit like hell). If there is hope of going home, Xiao Ke must hope that he can go back. This is also part of the reason why he is willing to become the Lord of Mysteries now - he has the ability to travel through time and space.

  Therefore, I think Xiao Ke's way of thinking is in line with basic logic. If you have any suggestions, please comment here.

(End of this chapterThe Magical Use of DivinationChapter 236 The Magical Use of Divination

After finishing writing the letter to Mr. Azik and watching Renette Tinicole disappear into thin air, Klein stood up and stretched his muscles a little.

He was going to go to the restaurant on his ship to enjoy a feast prepared by the "zombie chef" he trained and the "spiritual chef" created by Leonard.

After these zombies learned how to cook, Klein could often enjoy some delicious food when he didn't have time to cook.

Although these guys are unable to make complicated dishes, they can still make simpler Chinese home-cooked meals.

Of course, since most of the crew members on the ship were zombies, they also needed food to maintain their understanding of life. Therefore, the dishes provided to the living and the zombies were very different in style. Klein had observed the food related to zombies and was shocked.

Compared with what people eat, these things cannot be considered dark cuisine, they can only be considered a dance of demons.

Fortunately, the kitchen in the Lost Homeland was separate, and Klein did not see those strange foods appear in the exclusive kitchen of the normal crew members. Otherwise, Klein was not sure whether he could eat the food.

But why do I feel like this place is becoming more and more weird... Klein couldn't help but frown as he ate a plate of seafood fried rice and watched the ghosts and green flames flying together.

After enjoying the delicious food, Klein returned to the captain's cabin and walked four steps backwards into the gray fog. He used his spirit to carry Groselle's Travels with him.

Today, he was going to divine the extraordinary ability of Groselle's Travel Notes, and secondly, he was going to ask Arrodes for information about the God of the Abyss, so as to speculate on the true identity of the God of the Abyss.

After Klein arrived at Sefirah Castle, he saw a familiar scene around him. He sat on a throne and stared at the opposite side silently, with the unchanging gray fog under his feet.

Klein took a deep breath and looked at the telegraph machine in the distance. Under the rolling gray fog, the telegraph machine was washed again and again, but from the outside, there was no sign that it was different from an ordinary telegraph machine.

If it were put in a game, this telegraph machine would probably have to be prefixed with "mysterious and ordinary".

I will take this telegraph down with me later and discuss the matter of the God of the Abyss with Arrodes... But now I still need to divine this so-called "Groselle's Travels". Haha, Admiral Iceberg just told me that no attack can damage this book?

Then, I wonder if the True Creator and the Goddess of Night can destroy this book? Ahem, I just thought about it casually, and I'm not going to implement it... Klein thought with some evil taste in his heart. He sighed slightly in his heart, and gradually some ideas emerged:

First, I will divine the source of this travelogue. Of course, this may lack some information, and I cannot use "dream divination". But I can gradually determine the approximate ability range and function of this travelogue by using the method of divination to determine the right or wrong of a certain ability of a Beyonder Item...

With the help of the divination ability of "Source Castle", this is not a difficult thing for me.

Klein thought as he flipped through the book in his hand. He wanted to decipher the contents of the book and find clues for divination.

Not to mention the status, the specific abilities and side effects of an extraordinary item cannot be obtained directly through divination. If it were really that simple, other churches would not have to spend so much money to test the abilities of sealed items.

Although other churches - Klein currently only knows the general method of the Storm Church to test extraordinary items. Although the Storm Church usually captures some wild extraordinary people for testing, even so, many members of the official extraordinary team died from the negative effects of the sealed items that are difficult to prevent during testing.

Even if Klein possessed the "Source Castle", he would still need enough information to be able to divine its abilities.

Therefore, all Klein had to do was to endure the various logical problems and loopholes in the book and read the travelogue to find clues from the text.

According to Klein's experience with certain fabricated urban legends of rule-based items with extremely strong side effects that he had seen before his time travel, extraordinary items like this that are quite strange but do not reveal specific side effects can more or less find some "hints" from certain places.

In fact, this was not a hint given by humans, but the result of the extraordinary characteristics contained in it. While Backlund was serving as the bishop of the Aurora Society and studying in the high dimension with the intention of jumping to the "White Tower" path, Klein knew the names of most of the sequences.

According to Gao Wei, this ability is similar to the "blasphemous slate" left behind by the "Omniscient and Omnipotent" at that time, except that the records in the extraordinary items left in his source essence that recorded some paths were not complete, and the names and abilities of some paths were quite incomplete.

They also jokingly called this relic of the source material "#度百科".

However, Klein had discussed a lot with Gao Wei about the two fields to which the two traversers belonged, namely the "Five Paths of Omniscience and Omnipotence" and the "Three Paths of Sefirah Castle". Therefore, during the reading process, Klein gradually had some guesses about this "Groselle's Travels".

After using gray fog to perform multiple disinfection and inspections, Klein did not find any marks left by Amon. Even if this was really a prank by Amon, the "God of Mischief" and the "King of Ancient Times", using parchment from thousands of years ago - as the King of Angels who has existed since the Second Age, Amon is likely to still have some very ancient objects.

——But even so, Amon would not fail to add some extra "surprises" to his pranks. If this book was really made by Amon, then there is a high probability that Amon's "Time Worm" will be parasitized in it.

But after a careful inspection, Klein did not find anything related to the "thief".

He had also thought that Amon might have used the ability of the "Thief" to sew the fate of some ordinary people or extraordinary people into this book, but after finding no trace of "fate stitching", Klein directly crossed out this possibility from his speculation for the time being.

This kind of thing always requires using the known to infer the unknown. Among the eight paths that Klein is most familiar with, after eliminating the "wrong" path, Klein inexplicably thought of the "Dreamer" path - that is, Sequence One of the "Audience" path; and another guess is that Sequence One of the "White Tower" path created this book.

The first sequence of the "audience" path is called "writer", which happens to be related to the existence of this book; and the first sequence of the "white tower" path, "the all-seeing eye", also has similar images related to books. For the high-sequence "readers", they also have a great possibility of creating books with mysterious powers.

Apart from the two paths that Klein is most familiar with, it is very likely that the two paths related to "knowledge" are the "Hidden" path or the "Perfect" path.

After Klein and Backlund had many exchanges with Gao Wei, the two of them guessed that the 22 paths might correspond to 22 tarot cards. Although Klein had not yet figured out the correspondence between some paths and tarot cards, he and Gao Wei had searched for most of the names and memorized them firmly.

In battle, sometimes a piece of intelligence was enough to change the entire situation. If Klein was familiar with the opponent's Beyonder abilities, he would have a greater chance of defeating the opponent, and could even defeat a higher-level Beyonder with a lower-level Beyonder, as he had demonstrated when he killed the "Master of Secret Dolls" before.

If the puppet master knew that the "Rose Bishop" had extremely strong recovery ability and could even temporarily create a new body through flesh and blood, he would not have been clamped after launching a round of attacks, and finally died at the hands of several of them.

——Of course, Klein didn't know that ordinary "Rose Bishops" couldn't tear their heads off intact to play with.

——It's okay to break it in half.

Klein knocked on the armrest beside him. He hesitated for a moment and made some guesses.

In Groselle's Travels, there are characters from the Second to the Fifth Epochs, from ordinary people to Extraordinary people;

there are also people who gained Extraordinary abilities after entering the book. If it is not the "time theft" of the "Time Worm", then there is a high probability that the ability of this book is related to the psychic ability of the "writer", and it may have copied or manipulated the spirits of the protagonists in those books to enter this book.

In that case...

Klein leaned back slightly, fitting into the throne that made him feel comfortable. He placed the book on his knees and silently said,

"The protagonists in this book are all former owners of this book."

Klein held his right hand flat, letting the pendulum in his hand hang straight down. He silently repeated this several times in his mind before slightly opening his eyes.

The pendulum in his hand gave an "affirmative" answer.

This means that the protagonists in this book, whether it is the giant Groselle or his companions, were once the owners of this book; perhaps their minds were copied, or perhaps they were imprisoned in this book.

Divination is really useful for this kind of two-choice option. I wish I had this skill when I was doing multiple-choice questions before...

Klein had a slight smile on his face, and he couldn't help but complain in his heart. He continued to perform more detailed divinations. After some attempts, Klein finally discovered that all the previous owners of this book were his own bodies imprisoned in this book.

This also proves that they do not belong to this era, and after they entered the book, a few pages were missing from the glued together book.

Does this mean there is a way to actively enter books?

Klein's thoughts gradually became clearer. He picked up the pen next to him and wrote a new divination statement in front of him.

After obtaining enough preliminary information, Klein can directly use dream divination to gain enlightenment through dreams, thereby obtaining a method to enter Groselle's Travel Notes!

The side effects of extraordinary items are usually defined by people. After knowing how to enter "Groselle's Travels", Klein basically mastered the extraordinary abilities of this book and its negative effects!

Undoubtedly, one of the negative effects of this book is that it will suck people in... But I don't know if you can get out of the book? If you can enter and exit the book freely, then this book can be considered a powerful and practical item...

This item is difficult to destroy and can automatically bring the person holding it into the world of the book. It can be regarded as an extraordinary item with a strong effect from any perspective.

In his dream, Klein saw many blurry figures. Some of them disappeared silently, while others suddenly disappeared after the dripping blood hit the cover.

Klein briefly interpreted the results of the divination in his mind and quickly came to a conclusion about the possible effects it might contain.

At present, when it seems that we don't know whether we can leave this book, the ability and negative effects of this book are actually unified. That is, if we come into contact with this book for a long time, or drip our blood on this book, the holder will be sucked into the world of the book.

Good, I can finish my work, but I can still ask Arrodes later to see if he knows if there are any other strange things in this book... Heh, this guy knows a lot of things, maybe he knows a way to get out of the story...

However, I can discuss with Edwina and see if we can explore this book after dealing with the Blood Admiral...

Ahem, I'll go explain the current situation of this book to Edwina tomorrow. If possible, I actually plan to keep it for the time being. In case I really encounter any fatal danger, I can also use the negative effects of this book to force myself into the book.

As long as I can still maintain my will in the book, I can pass on information through the "Source Castle" to the outside world, so that those powerful friends can take the book away and find a way to rescue me...

Well, I have to make some preparations. Before entering this travelogue, I have to tell others where I'm going to, in case I lose consciousness or the "Source Castle" is obscured.

However, since this book can be divined by the Sefirah Castle, it should not have the ability to conceal the Sefirah.

As he thought carefully like a bat cub, a slightly satisfied smile appeared on Klein's face.

Three thousand pounds~

It's enough to cover Danitz's ransom! --Klein felt inexplicably relieved when he thought about the 3,000 gold pounds that would be deposited into his account

.

"Hee, I want three thousand pounds..."
