Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 1047 Entering the Dream
When Angel was still the "Night Watcher" of Tingen City, he heard Klein mention the haunted incidents that occurred in this town. The origin of the incident was this abandoned castle. The incident also involved the mutated sun holy emblem, which laid the foundation for Angel and Klein to obtain the advanced spells and "shattered light rays" of the sun field, and finally kill the descendants of the real creator and save Tingen.

When Azik Eggers was searching for her past memories and finally came to the Tomb of the God of Death deep in the Raging Sea, she also learned from him about the life of the first Baron Ramd, and knew that was the starting point of Azik's arrangement by Salinger and his eventual entry into the sixty-year cycle of life.

Angel withdrew his gaze from the mottled walls of the castle and the vines under the night light, looked at Audrey who was also enjoying the night view, and whispered:

“Follow me closely. This ancient castle has naturally formed a certain defense mechanism after “He” fell into a deep sleep. If we make a mistake in dealing with it, even a demigod will be severely damaged.”

He... Audrey repeated this nickname in her heart and nodded heavily.

Angel recalled the information instilled in her by the goddess in her mind, walked along the moat filled with fallen leaves and humus, passed through the outer wall from the copper-clad wooden door on the side of the castle that had long been completely decayed and rusted, and came to the inner garden covered with weeds.

This castle, built during the transition period between the Quaternary and Fifth Periods, has more military significance than residential significance. Various functional buildings are set up within the city walls. Even after thousands of years, some basic functions can still be seen. However, Angel had no intention of doing archaeology. Instead, he used invisible spider silk to hang himself and Audrey from a square tower to the top of the castle, entered the top floor from the collapsed ceiling, and bypassed the main entrance hall.

"That is the focus of the 'defense'. Anyone who enters there will be trapped in a complex maze, and eventually find themselves back outside the city wall after daybreak... Well, they are just lost, not dead..."

Angel explained with a faint smile on his face, walking along the complex internal passages through one collapsed room after another due to disrepair, heading towards the core area of ​​the castle.

She did not try to use the mirror to travel, and Audrey did not dare to enter the dream to move quickly. The two of them used ordinary people's methods to explore the castle by moving their legs.

As they went deeper, the passage that had collapsed gradually became intact, and a biting cold began to penetrate their bodies. Angel felt fine and hurried out, thinking that her demigod physique was enough to withstand the cold of deep winter. Audrey's movements gradually became slower and her expression became more solemn.

Upon seeing this, Angel took out from the mirror space a feather blessed by Azik, the Archon of Death, the "Wings of Death" that could drive the undead, injected a little spirituality into it, and activated it.

In an instant, the gloom and chill in the surroundings was swept away, as if some invisible but diligent guards had lost interest in the two people and were no longer focusing their attention on them.

Holding the feather and following the guidance of the spirit, Angel soon arrived at a vermilion wooden door in the center of the castle.

This passage was completely different from the dilapidated outer layer. The floor was covered with thick carpets, and various oil paintings were hung on the walls. The extinguished oil lamps emitted a faint smell of grease, making the two people feel like they had come to a noble castle that had just been renovated, rather than an antique that had been abandoned for thousands of years.

Even without the corresponding information, it can be seen that there is some powerful power hidden behind this wooden door.

"This is it."

Angel whispered to himself, took a deep breath, and gently placed the "Wings of Death" in his hand against the wooden door.

The door opened automatically, and a few rays of crimson moonlight shone in through the narrow stone windows, illuminating a bedroom with modern decoration but floating dust and a very "old" atmosphere. It had thick cloth curtains, wooden tables and chairs, a coffee table and a sofa, but where the bed should have been placed, there was strangely a black coffin with a tightly closed lid.

"Is this the place where that person... Him sleeps?"

Audrey asked softly, her eyes moving over the various pieces of furniture, trying to determine the age and identity of the room's owner.

"Yes, His name is Azik Eggers. He is a Sequence 2 of the Death God Path, the Archon of Death... He has lived for thousands of years. Every few decades, he loses his memory and returns to a younger body, experiencing a completely different life from before."

Angel gave a brief introduction and approached the coffin, but did not try to open it.

Although this room is very cozy, if Angel had not held the feather stained with Mr. Azik's blood, he would have been attacked by the undead and the breath of death lingering around. And once he touched the coffin, I'm afraid that "Death Wing" would not be able to suppress these defensive measures that appeared around the Archon of Death.

Angel gently placed the feather on the floor in the middle of the room, snapped his fingers, and several flames flew to the surrounding oil lamps, lighting them. Then he said to Audrey:

"According to the plan, first pray to Mr. Fool for his blessing, and then you take me into his dream... Remember, it can only be a shallow dream, don't go too deep, otherwise you will easily encounter danger. In the dream, I can't help you much."

After all, Mr. Azik is one of the Fool's followers. Even if it is just a shallow dream exploration that does not harm the other party, it is best to seek Mr. Fool's opinion before proceeding.

Audrey nodded and whispered the Fool's name, while Angel carefully observed her. Soon, a warm and reassuring force descended from the sky, enveloped Audrey who was praying, and merged into her spirit.

This time, Angel, who was prepared and observing from a third-person perspective, finally saw the essence of Mr. Fool's blessing:

That is the "paper man substitute" who has reached the status of true God!
As expected, He is the True God of the "Fortune Teller" path who has not yet fully regained his characteristics and strength. He even controls the "source essence" belonging to this path. Once his strength is restored, he will be stronger than ordinary True Gods... Angel pondered silently, and prayed to the Fool like Audrey, and received the same blessing.

After that, she unceremoniously occupied the only single sofa in the room, asked Audrey to sit on the chair opposite her, and said expectantly:
"let's start."

Audrey smiled and nodded, reaching out to hold Angel's wrist and entering the dream world with her.

————After an unexpected dizziness, Audrey slowly opened her eyes and found herself in pitch darkness.

This was completely different from the subconscious ocean that she traveled into in her dreams every night. If the common subconscious formed by people of all classes and identities in Backlund was the shallow sea water with sunlight, then Audrey was now in the deepest part of the sea, where not only sunlight could not penetrate, but even living things could not survive.

"Could it be that I have been influenced by the power of Mr. 'Death Archon' and fallen into a deep dream?"

Audrey's inner thoughts turned into whispers that echoed around her.

She was somewhat curious, but cautiously did not explore further. Instead, she had the thought of "escaping from the dream" in her mind, and her body gradually floated upwards.

Gradually, some dim light appeared. Audrey looked up and was surprised to find a black mausoleum with a quadrilateral base and the tip pointing directly at her.

It is an inverted pyramid from the Balam Empire period in the southern continent!
The surface of the mausoleum was covered with cracks of various sizes, and it was even split in half in the middle, with about one-fifth of it missing. Oily feathers, deformed skulls, and strange spirits were floating everywhere.

Suddenly, the skeletons and spirits turned together and looked towards Audrey.

Audrey's panic reached its peak at this moment, and her desire to "leave" became stronger and stronger. Her body quickly passed by the mausoleum and floated upwards. Before the elements symbolizing "death" could reach her, she left the deep dream and returned to the glowing sea of ​​subconsciousness.

“No wonder Miss Queen told me not to enter the deep dream. If I had been entangled by those ‘deaths’ just now, even with Mr. Fool’s blessing, I would probably have suffered corresponding damage, which would have manifested in my real body…”

She muttered, and with the help of physical contact with Angel in reality, she quickly found the other party's position in the dream, "traveled" to that independent dream area, and sneaked in.

This time, Audrey found herself in a place similar to the passage she had seen when she explored the castle just now. The stone passage covered with black carpet seemed endless, with closed doors on both sides, some of which were gorgeous, some were shabby, and some were stained with blood.

After a brief induction and analysis, combined with Angel's previous introduction, Audrey understood the symbolic meaning of this passage and the many doors:

The long and narrow passage represents the long but uncontrollable life of the dream owner, and behind each door is his independent personality formed by his life experience.

"Miss Queen's target should be His most recent life..."

Thinking about it, Audrey walked quickly along the corridor, passing by doors of various shapes, and came to the end of the corridor, standing next to a simple wooden door.

Cautiously pushing open the wooden door, Audrey immediately found herself on a tree-lined road. Several young people walked past her in groups, carrying shoulder bags or thick books.

In the distance, several brick and stone houses were lined up neatly, and more people dressed as students were coming in and out, talking and laughing.

Is this... some school? A university?
Audrey looked back and found that the wooden door she had come through had disappeared.

This was completely different from the dreams of others that she entered when practicing her extraordinary abilities. The latter were almost always built around a simple theme, with a small area and fixed content. Except for the place that the dreamer was paying attention to, everything was hazy and lacked authenticity.

But from the perspective of the "university" where she is at this moment, the dream here is extremely real and almost constructs a complete world.

Is it the power of the "God of Death" path, or is Mr. Azik protected by some kind of "dream" power?

Audrey pondered as she followed the student's natural progress, using her demigod ability as an "audience" to naturally approach the center of the dream and the owner of the dream.

Soon, she came to an old three-story building and realized that the Death Archon was probably inside.

Just as she was about to walk through the main entrance, Audrey suddenly caught a glimpse of two people who were dressed a little differently from the surrounding students walking by.

One of them was a young dark-haired man wearing a half-high silk hat and a well-fitting tailcoat. He held a cane in one hand and held the arm of a young lady with the other.

The latter was wearing a light-colored dress and a lady's veil on her head to cover her face. She was a few centimeters taller than the man next to her and was looking around with curiosity.

Audrey's gaze suddenly froze.

She noticed that the man was Mr. World, whom she had secretly investigated.

Klein Moretti!
