At this moment, a storm raged within Odis and Klein!
Chinese characters were discovered on the murals in the "Hall of Honesty"!
Both of them tried their best to control their thoughts, afraid that their inner world would utter those three words.
Klein tried to think, "Many of the murals here depict things that actually happened."
Although Grosser, Châteaux, and others are not depicted in detail in the murals, features such as vertical eyes and pointed ears are still present.
"I've thought of another question," Odis said, trying to control his thoughts. "What ensures that the depictions in the murals in this 'City of Miracles' come true?"
Klein nodded slowly, still without speaking: "The 'uniqueness' of the 'Dreamer' pathway is with Adam; he should have already collected three Sequence 1 traits by now."
Then he speculated, "Could it be the divine power of the 'Dragon of Imagination'? But—he has long since perished."
"The 'Hermit' and the 'World' can connect and analyze so many things in an instant, that's amazing!" Audrey's "thoughts" immediately steered the atmosphere off track: "Am I being too blunt with my praise? This hall is really hard to get used to."
"No, you two, I really am praising you, from the bottom of my heart."
She quickly adjusted her mindset and tried to appear calm. Odis thought to herself, "I'll take it seriously."
Klein immediately thought, "No wonder he's a 'psychologist,' he adjusted so quickly."
Audrey, however, subconsciously had a thought: "Sure enough, Mr. World isn't as cold as he seems. He does mutter to himself. Listen—I didn't say anything!"
Several people briefly lost control of their thoughts. Odis smiled to himself, thinking, "They still have the nerve to say my thoughts are strange."
A voice also rang out beside Leonard: "Klein's Gehrman Sparrow is quite the imposter. Almost everyone who knows him believes he's ruthless and insane. Heh heh, who would have thought—"
Suddenly Klein's voice interrupted: "Shut up!"
Odis continued, "What's so special about that? People from this path are all like that, they can play any role convincingly. I heard that when he assassinated 'General of Disease'—the four great powers of the Northern Continent are the Kingdom of Rune, the Republic of Intis—"
Klein stared at Odis: "How did you know?"
Although Leonard had no idea what Mr. Garr had just thought of, he immediately changed the subject in this way, smiling and teasing, "See, that's not ruthless enough."
"Cold-blooded?" Klein, somewhat defenseless, responded internally, "Then I'll just slap the 'Cross of No Darkness' on your head. If you don't want the extraordinary trait, you can donate it to someone in need!"
Audrey couldn't suppress the voice in her heart: "So they have so many interesting thoughts. I could only see Mr. 'Star' before, I never imagined... The four great nations are the Kingdom of Rune, the Republic of Intis... "
Then, other voices joined in: "The four great nations are the Kingdom of Rune, the Republic of Intis—"
The group's thoughts gradually returned to their own control, and Klein then said, "Let's continue exploring other places, and study the murals when we have time later."
"Oh dear, this hall is such a mess. The focus always seems to shift to everyone's privacy without us even realizing it."
Upon hearing his subsequent complaint, the other three, whether they outwardly tried to hold back or not, burst out laughing.
But soon all four of them turned their attention to the "seat" of the "Dragon of Imagination" not far away, using the awe and sense of vicissitude evoked by the stone pillar to forcibly prevent their thoughts from becoming uncontrollable again.
Only then did they discover that behind that giant pillar was a downward, dark passage.
The four people moved to a different position so that they could clearly see the passage.
Because the passageway was so dark, Audrey instinctively thought, "If only there were light, I can't see anything—"
Then, a pure and soft light shone into the passage, illuminating it completely.
The four of them saw that at the deepest part of the passage stood an ancient, double-leaf bronze door.
The gate was covered with countless indescribable symbols, like chains extending to the back, as if sealing something away.
Almost simultaneously, the gazes of Odis and the other three seemed to pierce through the bronze door, revealing a deep darkness within.
Immediately afterwards, they heard the thumping of a heartbeat.
This is their own heartbeat.
But they are in a spirit state now, and they don't have hearts at all!
In an instant, Odis felt as if the "Staff of Gus" and the "Iron-Blooded Gauntlets" had come to have their own thoughts, and everyone else felt a chill creeping into their bodies, as if every cell had gained its own consciousness and wanted to form another "me".
Without hesitation, Klein's spirit body expanded to encompass the other three people, ending the summoning and returning to "above the gray mist".
Upon seeing the magnificent hall and the weathered bronze table, the four felt the chill in their bodies quickly dissipate, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.
But then, the four of them suddenly stood up, especially "The World" Klein, who rolled and nimbly jumped behind the high seat.
Because they "recalled" their conversations with the "sage" and the "sage" hypnotizing them.
This made them realize that something extraordinary had been released.
Time passed second by second, and the surrounding gray fog rolled in, yet the place remained serene and magnificent.
Audrey breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank goodness, this is Mr. Fool's kingdom, and that—that 'sage' shouldn't come out of the book."
Odis and Leonard nodded in agreement, agreeing that "Justice" was right. With Mr. Fool as their last line of defense, they weren't worried about anything going wrong with the notebook.
Only Klein thought to himself: Listen—Mr. Fool was actually hypnotized just now. Thinking of this, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief: Thank goodness, thank goodness, this is not the "Hall of Honesty".
Above the Gray Mist was Klein's home turf, where he silently used the power of the Gray Mist to examine Grosser's Travels.
Make sure everything is working properly.
He was immediately relieved, because this gray fog was of a very high level. At least until now, Klein had not encountered anyone who could invade this place, so the Travelogue should be fine here.
So Klein returned to his seat and very cautiously picked up "Travelogue".
The moment he came into contact with the book, he immediately realized that this travelogue was indeed not dangerous.
He breathed a slight sigh of relief and said in a pretentious tone, "Praise the fool!"
Hearing this praise, the others also relaxed completely, assuming that Mr. Fool had resolved the unknown risks.
Odis asked, "Could the 'Sage' become a new character in the book?"
Klein quickly flipped through it, then shook his head: "No new characters have appeared."
The four sat down again, and Leonard asked Odis, "What kind of being is the 'Sage'?"
Odis pondered for a moment before saying, "To be honest, I'm not entirely sure either. Some of the great figures I know in the extraordinary world seem to know about 'sages,' but they never bring up 'sages' on their own initiative."
Klein then asked a question that had been troubling him for some time: "'The Sage' is the same as 'The Hidden Sage'? Is 'The Lord of Mysteries' also related to 'The Sage'?"
Odis gave a wry smile and replied, "I don't know, but what's certain is that the 'Hidden Sage' inherited some characteristics from the 'Sage,' but they are not the same being."
At the same time, he thought to himself: As for whether the "Lord of Mysteries" and the "Sage" are related, even the "Lord of Mysteries" sitting in front of you at this moment cannot give an accurate conclusion.
After a few seconds of silence in the hall, Odis spoke up: "I suggest we—well, I mean me and 'The World'—go and take another look at the Travelogue."
"I have a feeling that this exploration will not be dangerous, and may even yield some gains."
As a "master of prophecy," he trusted his intuition. Klein considered it for a moment before saying, "Okay."
"But before that, let's discuss the issues in the 'Hall of Honesty'."
Odis nodded: "That's right."
Inside the "Hall of Honesty," he dared not think too much and had no way to discuss things freely.
He said, "Clearly, the power of 'Travelogue' can influence the real world to some extent, and '0-08' almost came together with 'Travelogue'."
Klein nodded: "Yes, luckily Adam took the '0-08' back then."
"Otherwise, I would definitely offer a sacrifice to Mr. Fool. Although Mr. Fool intervened, nothing too dangerous will happen in Mr. Fool's divine kingdom."
"But the descriptions in the murals can really come true."
In particular, when he saw that he was also depicted in the mural, although his appearance was not shown, the top hat and trench coat that symbolized Gehrman Sparrow still gave him a chill.
Moreover, if they were to meet above this "gray fog," Klein didn't know if he could stop some of the "Imaginary Dragon's" plans.
Odis pondered for a moment and said, "I have received accurate information that there seems to be some kind of conspiracy between the Sage and Adam, and I am certain that the Sage disappeared in the Fourth Age."
"Or perhaps he will no longer appear on the northern and southern continents, and may return later, but I suspect that in order to deceive some evil gods, he will only return at the most crucial moment."
At this point, he took a deep breath and said, "Generally speaking, the 'Sage' is still a legitimate deity, but his extraordinary distortion might have caused some kind of mutation."
"I once speculated that the 'hidden sage' might be the corrupted part of the 'sage'."
Aside from the "True Creator" and the "Demon King," other deities don't find it easy to sever the part of themselves that has fallen into depravity.
However, the "Sage" should be able to do it. Given his close relationship with the "Ancient Sun God," he should be able to get the "True Creator" to help separate the fallen part.
Silence fell once again in the magnificent hall, because the "Hermit's" conjecture was so profound and seemed to contain many secrets and knowledge that they didn't even know how to continue the discussion.
A few seconds later, Odis added, "In any case, the 'Dragon of Imagination's' setup has been ruined."
Audrey suddenly recalled: "Could it be that Emperor Roselle also went there?"
"Have you noticed that the three characters written on the mural where 'Travelogue' and '0-08' meet are the same characters from Emperor Roselle's diary!"
She was quite certain of this because she had forced herself to memorize Russell's diary every week, though she didn't know what those three characters meant.
Klein knew those three characters meant "Dream on," he thought to himself: those three words do fit Russell—no, wait,
If he actually went there, he would most likely have written "I was here".
Odis, however, believed that it must have been written by a man who called himself a "wise man".
He remembered that the Celestial Master had once said that he represented all the knowledge in the entire universe and should also know Chinese language and characters.
The question is, why did he choose to express his thoughts using Chinese characters?
Odis then said to Audrey, "Perhaps it is him, perhaps it is not, for there are some great beings who understand the meaning of those characters."
Klein thought to himself: Yes, like myself. Heh.
Audrey also realized that Mr. Fool also understood those characters, so the discussion could only go this far.
Leonard then said, "I felt something calling to me from behind that bronze door. What about you?"
"Justice," Audrey said with considerable certainty, "Me too. It wasn't a hallucination. I analyzed my own mind."
Leonard scratched his chin: "What could that be? Something that requires an ancient god to be sealed behind its throne?"
Just as Audrey was about to begin her analysis, she noticed that the "hermit" had suddenly fallen into deep thought, as if he had made a connection.
She waited a second or two, and sure enough, the "hermit" said, "I suddenly have some guesses about this."
Klein and Leonard also looked at "The Hermit," for when it came to "guessing," they only respected "The Hermit."
Odis paused for a moment before saying, "This involves a very important piece of information: the immortality of the spirit of the gods."
"For example, after the 'Dragon of Imagination' became a god, his spiritual body underwent a fundamental change and will exist in this world forever. Even if he perishes, he will only be incomplete, and a part of his spirit will continue to exist. For example, as the old man in the book who called himself a 'sage' said, he found the 'Dragon of Imagination' in the ocean of subconsciousness in the book."
"I believe that there should also be a part of this ancient god in the subconscious ocean of the real world."
"In that case, under the right conditions, such as when the 'Travelogue' and '0-08' are depicted together in the mural, the 'Dragon of Imagination' might be able to be resurrected."
The other three nodded slowly, because they also guessed that once the scene in the mural appeared in reality, the "Imaginary Dragon" would most likely be resurrected.
However, they were unaware of the "inner logic" of this ancient god's resurrection, while the "Hermit" explained the inner logic clearly.
Odis continued, "Even if new gods emerge through this path, such as after Adam becomes a god, the 'Imaginary Dragon' may still be resurrected, but it will not be at the level of a true god after its resurrection."
"And within the uniqueness of the 'Dreamer' that Adam obtained, and the Sequence 1 characteristics that the 'Dreamer Dragon' once mastered, there must still be remnants of the 'Dreamer Dragon's' spirit."
"That remnant has become part of divinity and will always exist within Adam's body, should Adam perish one day."
His remaining spiritual essence will also become part of the divinity of this path.
Klein seemed to understand what Odis meant, while Audrey and Leonard simply thought the news was impressive and hadn't yet connected it to their experiences today.
"Don't think that this situation is peaceful," Odis said with a smile. "If Adam's condition remains good, the mental remnants of the 'Dragon of Imagination' won't cause any problems."
"But if Adam's condition deteriorates, it could have very serious consequences, and the possibility of the 'Imaginary Dragon' being resurrected within Adam's body cannot be ruled out."
Klein and the others were stunned; they hadn't expected that things would be so dangerous even at the level of gods.
Klein then breathed a sigh of relief: This was a path full of twists and turns and dangers all along.
"Of course, at the level of true gods, the probability of such a thing happening is not very high," Odis continued. "But what about at the level 'above the gods'?"
Audrey finally realized: "'The Imaginary Dragon' wasn't the first master of this unique path? He...he's an ancient god!"
Odis smiled and said, "Have you forgotten? Before the Second Age, there was the First Age."
Klein asked, "During the First Epoch, were there beings at a level 'above the gods'?"
Odis shrugged and said, "I don't know, but based on the clues we have so far, it's highly likely that it has happened before."
He paused for a moment and then said, "Based on the information I can confirm above, as well as the vague conditions, I guess that the 'Dragon of Imagination' might be sealing a 'god above' who once possessed the uniqueness of the 'Imaginator' pathway?"
Theoretically speaking, the level of "above the gods" is higher than that of "imaginary dragon". "Imaginary dragon" must be careful at all times to avoid the other party being resurrected in its body.
"But the 'audience' pathway is rather special. Although I don't know the specific abilities of the higher levels of this pathway, by observing the abilities at the 'middle sequence' level, it's not hard to guess that the 'imaginary dragon' can most likely sever its own spiritual body."
The "Imaginary Dragon" may have been attempting to separate those uncontrollable spiritual entities and seal them behind the door.
"Of course, such a severance cannot completely prevent the resurrection of that 'above the gods,' but it should make things easier for the 'Dragon of Imagination.'"
Klein nodded slowly, agreeing with the guess.
Before this, Audrey and Leonard had never imagined that the ancient gods could be resurrected in this way. While they sensed a higher level of danger, they also seemed to have a new understanding of the extraordinary.
After giving them a second or two, Odis said, "This is my first guess, which can well explain the source of the power of the Travels."
The other three immediately understood that it was because the book contained the spiritual remnants of "above the gods" and had some symbolic meaning of "dreamers" that it provided the foundation for the power of "Travelogue".
Then Klein asked, "Do you have any other guesses?"
Odis countered, "Do you remember the high-level corruption the 'Magician' encountered in the vampire castle?"
The three of them immediately recalled that there was also a bronze gate in that incident. Although the "Magician" was corrupted in a different way than they were today, there seemed to be some connection between the two.
Odis continued, "As far as I know, the source of the erosion that the 'Magician' encountered is also somewhat related to the 'Dreamer'."
"It's highly likely that the 'imaginary dragon' deliberately sealed this internal connection to avoid being corrupted."
This speculation is indeed not suitable to be explained too clearly at the moment. In fact, the sources of both erosions are "God" and "the Chaos Sea".
It's just that the forms of expression are different.
Audrey exclaimed, "The Extraordinary World is so dangerous, and it seems like danger is everywhere."
Odis smiled and said, "This level of danger is not something we should be concerned about, as long as we don't actively seek out these dangers."
These dangers usually don't come looking for us.
After sharing his rough guess about the problem with Klein and the other two, Odis said to Leonard, "You can ask the ancestors of Zoroaster if they know anything about the 'Sage'."
Leonard slapped his forehead: "Okay."
Now, the Hermit and Justice also know that an angel is "parasitizing" his body.
Klein first sent Miss Justice and Leonard back, leaving the Hermit behind. They discussed it and prepared to re-enter the Travelogue.
Leonard's rental apartment in Joewood.
The moment his consciousness returned to the real world, he immediately whispered, "Old man!"
"You're getting more and more rude, disturbing the elderly's rest in the middle of the night," Palez Zoroaster said irritably. "Looks like you've made quite a haul this time."
"That's right." Leonard, who was sitting on the sofa, suddenly sat up straight: "We found it in that book—", Isn't that terrifying?
What did you find?
"We've found it—" Leonard realized this time that his tongue, mouth, and vocal cords were moving, but he couldn't produce any syllables.
"That's strange." Leonard frowned. "I can't describe it to you."
Pales sighed, "From now on, don't call yourself a follower of the 'Goddess of Night' in public. I'm embarrassed for you!"
Leonard looked on in surprise and almost jumped up: "Secret!"
Pales smiled and said, "Never mind, don't tell me."
"I smell a conspiracy, and a conspiracy involving the 'Goddess of the Night' is bound to trigger a series of major events."
He sighed: "I'm just a retired old man, I don't want to get involved in these troubles."
Leonard, who was experiencing divine power for the first time, gradually calmed down: "Old man, if I try, can I bypass the 'goddess's' authority?"
Would telling you what happened to me be a desecration of the 'goddess'?
Pales laughed and said, "Believe it or not, if you really have a way to tell me what happened to you, the church will notify you tomorrow to become the abbot of the Dark Monastery."
Leonard was taken aback: "Is it that exaggerated?"
"Why don't you give it a try?"
"Then let's discuss a different issue. Didn't we say last time—this direction won't work?" Leonard realized that he couldn't even bring up the topic of "sages" with the old man after the last tarot session.
So he picked up a pen and paper, but whenever he wrote something involving "sages," the pen seemed to run out of ink and he couldn't write anything. He wrote with all his might, but the paper didn't even have a scratch.
Leonard threw down his pen, clearly having given up.
Pales laughed and said, "Now you know how naive you were, don't you?"
He paused for a moment and then said, "Here's a hint: if anyone else knows the secret, you can discuss it if I can't hear you."
Leonard breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you."
Pales suddenly fell silent.
Leonard asked, somewhat worried, "What's wrong?"
"You actually said thank you?" Pales chuckled. "I thought you weren't capable of that."
Leonard smiled awkwardly and immediately changed the subject: "By the way, during this exploration, we also encountered a member of the Zoroaster family."
"I think he is the person Mr. Garr mentioned at the previous Tarot meeting, the one who wanted to make contact with the Zoroaster family."
After discussing Mobert, Leonard wrote a letter to Odis, briefly explaining the problems he was currently facing.
They expressed their desire to meet with him in person.
Then he summoned Odis's messenger. When the messenger appeared, Leonard was clearly taken aback. He felt that the messenger seemed different from before.
The last messenger to Leonard was the Bluebird, so Leonard hasn't seen Odis's messenger recently.
After the messenger left, Leonard asked in a low voice, "Old man, Mr. Garr's messenger seems a little different."
Pales laughed and said, "I thought you hadn't noticed."
Leonard asked, "What specific changes have occurred in her?"
"It should be called that," Pales corrected, "that it has further restored its power and become a complete angel."
Leonard was taken aback: "Using angels as messengers?"
"Above the gray fog".
Odis and Klein first discussed how to re-enter "The Travels of Odyssey" and take emergency precautions, then they discussed how to find the "sage." Odis said, "It's very likely that the 'sage' is already a well-known figure in the world of the book."
Klein agreed with this view: "They might even take the initiative to contact us."
"If he's not too famous in the world of the book," Odis said, "we can try asking some of the main characters in the book."
Both of them were experienced in solving this kind of problem, and after a brief discussion, they came up with a general plan.
So Klein smeared the blood of the two men on the cover of "Travelogue" once again, and they appeared once more at the city gate where a blizzard was raging.
They first observed the city, and only after finding nothing unusual did the two enter.
Just like last time I came, there weren't many people on the streets because it was so cold.
So the two of them went into the tavern, which was the liveliest place in the small town in winter.
After listening to everyone's conversation for a while, and finding no rumors about the "sage," Odis thought for a moment before saying, "Go find the ascetic Snowman."
This ascetic worships the "ancient sun god" and is practicing asceticism according to the guidance of the "sage." He may know something about the "sage."
Upon entering the church where Snowman was, it was immediately apparent that his mental state was different from before.
The specific changes are hard to explain, but it always feels like there's an added sense of sacredness compared to before.
Sitting there, he previously gave the impression of a devout believer, a restrained ascetic.
But at this moment, the label on him seemed to have disappeared, and he seemed to have blended into the surrounding environment.
After the two entered, Snowman, who had been quietly meditating with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and said, "The 'Sage' left a message for both of you."
Odis immediately retorted, "What's wrong with the 'sage'?"
Snowman said, "The 'wise one' tells Odis Garr that Canal is very dangerous. Do not go there, and do not inquire about it."
Odis paused for a moment before recalling that "Kanal" was the place name he heard in the speech after each promotion.
He was very curious about what that place was, and even planned to ask the gods he knew after becoming an angel what it was.
Snowman continued, "The 'wise man' told Klein Moretti: the paths of destiny always intersect unexpectedly, and you'll know the truth when you need to run fast."
Klein was also stunned for a moment before realizing that this was a prophecy. After thinking to himself that the "secret seeker" was more like a charlatan than a diviner, he looked at Odis beside him.
Odis pondered for a moment and said weakly, "Does this prophecy mean that you and the 'Sage' will meet again unexpectedly, or when you are completely unprepared?"
"At that time, all our current misunderstandings about the 'sage' will be answered."
Klein's thoughts: Interpreting "prophecies" is a technical skill; I didn't understand the content of any prophecy at all.
Then he teased Snowman: "Where's the 'wise man'? Where's the 'wise man' now?"
Snowman said, "The 'sage' foresaw that you would suffer such a loss. He said: 'I'm going back. As for why I suddenly left the ocean of the subconscious, you'll know when you return to the real world.'"
Klein realized that the "mystical" feeling of the "mysterious man" father path was not quite the same as that of the "weird man" father path and the "divine man" father path. The extraordinary people of the "weird man" father path often gave people a very punchable feeling, and the "divine man" - well, the "diviner" was also very punchable in many ways.
However, the "mystical" aura surrounding the "secret seeker" father's path currently only evokes a sense of mystery, not a sense of envy or disbelief.
After leaving Snowman's church, the two discussed the topic of the "wise man".
Odis said, "We can't be sure whether the 'Sage' has returned, but he doesn't seem to have any motive to lie to us."
"It's like a person walking on the road who has no motive to deceive the ants on the ground."
Klein felt that this metaphor was rather inappropriate. Although he didn't know what the "sage" was like, it gave people a feeling of being very profound, powerful, and mysterious, which was far beyond what ordinary angels could compare to.
Klein took a deep breath: "Then let's go out of the book and take a look—no, let's go back to the real world."
So the two returned to "above the gray fog," and Klein then sent Odis back to the real world, after which he also returned to the real world.
Embassy in Rehnburg.
Odis opened his eyes while lying in the armchair and immediately saw the messenger Elbera sitting at the desk.
He jumped in surprise: "You—!"
He was about to tease him about "when did you arrive?", but then he felt that it wouldn't be appropriate to tease him like that, as if he were acting guilty and wary of the messenger.
So Odis changed his tune on the spot, saying, "You—you asked why I've come?"
Ellebella waved the letter in her hand: "It was delivered by that 'Red Gloves' member. It seemed to be in a hurry, so I looked around for you."
Odis nodded: "Thank you."
After Elbera sent the weak message, she didn't know where Odis had gone and he disappeared from the room.
Odis breathed a sigh of relief. He had prepared an excuse to fob off the messenger. Or perhaps, this was the smart thing to do; the messenger knew that if she lost money, Odis was unlikely to tell the truth anyway, so it was better not to lose money.
Odis waved his hand toward the letter on the desk, and a gust of wind blew the letter into his hand.
The letter, when opened, contained a simple statement: "During our recent exploration, a portion of it became a secret, impossible to reveal to others. Only those who share that secret can gather to discuss it. How should we discuss this matter?"
Odis immediately thought of the power of the "Goddess of Night," then he scratched the back of his head: This is a very deep matter! Is there some secret between the "Sage," the "Goddess of Night," and Adam?
Odis remembered that Adam would later enter Grosser's Travels, take the book, and at the same time, completely sever the path of resurrection of the "imaginary dragon."
So although Adam did not appear in the story of the heavens, there must be traces of Adam in it.
Then he recalled what the "Sage" had said before, and that he wasn't worried that Odis and the others would reveal his secrets, because the "Goddess of Night" was helping to keep them secret.
After thinking for a moment, Odis used "teleportation" to get to the embassy's office building, went to the duty room, and found two staff members on duty.
The two drowsy staff members were suddenly jolted awake and immediately stood up.
Odis said, "I have something to tell you. I went on an adventure last night and encountered—" "Sure enough, nothing came out."
He looked at the staff members who were filled with disgust, took out the magical item with hypnotic abilities, and said, "You will forget our conversation just now, and forget that I was ever here."
After leaving the two bewildered staff members, Odis returned to her room.
After a while, the two employees seemed to come to their senses. One of them said, "Just now—it seems like the wind blew the door open."
Odis did not immediately go to Leonard because he knew very well that with that "old man" inside Leonard, the two of them could not possibly discuss the issues of the "sage" and the "goddess of the night".
But he quickly came up with a solution, and immediately prayed to "The Fool": "The Fool who does not belong to this era—respected Mr. Fool, Mr. 'Star' just wrote to me."
He briefly recounted the events, and concluded by saying, "Respected 'Fool,' sir, may we discuss this matter in your divine realm?"
After praying, Odis sat at his desk and waited. A few minutes later, Odis's vision was covered by gray fog, and in an instant, he reappeared in "Source Castle".
Meanwhile, "World" Klein, "Justice" Audrey, and "Star" Leonard are all seated in their respective places.
"It's truly amazing," Audrey said first. "When I was discussing this adventure with a friend, we also found it impossible to talk about the 'sage.'"
She actually discovered this when she was talking to Susie about her experience of this exploration and discussing the topic of the ocean of the subconscious.
Before receiving the "Hermit's" notification, she was even a little panicked. She only breathed a sigh of relief when she learned that they would be discussing the Weakness together.
Odis said, "It is not hard to see from these reactions that the 'wise man' has a big plan in the Travels. We should not try to talk about this matter outside the book."
Leonard then said, "Old man—the one inside me once said that the 'Goddess' and the 'Sage' had a close collaboration. Could it be that the 'Goddess' helped the 'Sage' hide in 'Travelogue'?"
"I don't think so," Odis said. "Their cooperation is more likely an active plan rather than a passive avoidance of something."
Leonard nodded. He felt he couldn't comprehend a scheme at the level of a god, so he had no intention of refuting it.
"What a pity," Audrey said. "That travelogue can no longer be used or used for exploration."
Odis laughed and said, "I think the opposite is true. Wu Wu, your plan is definitely not for the four of us. It must have a higher purpose."
"In other words, just ask questions and use them as you see fit. As long as we stop searching for the 'wise men' inside, they won't care about our level of understanding of the Travelogue."
Klein slowly nodded, he didn't have much to say to Odis: "There's still one question I haven't figured out, why did the 'Sage' appear in front of us?"
"He's been hiding in the ocean of his subconscious for so long without leaving, so why not continue to keep his tracks hidden? Why does he suddenly want to go 'outside' and take a look? And he doesn't necessarily need to go through us to get outside, does he?"
"I've also considered this issue," Odis said seriously. "There seems to be only one reason for his sudden appearance."
The other three looked at the "hermit".
Odis continued, "Let's inform the 'Goddess of the Night,' or rather, let the 'Goddess of the Night' know that her condition is normal and we can continue our plans."
