On Friday evening, Leyton finished dinner with the three small animals in his home.
Glancing at Nephrit, who was still persistent and trying to ram into the safe, Leyton calmly picked up his after-dinner fruit, enjoying the performance of this stubborn Nephrit.
This Nephrit, for reasons unknown, after being discovered repeatedly while sneaking in and then being thrown back into the Spirit World, actually took a green gem he found somewhere and tried to bribe Anu, who was in charge of security in the house.
Then he was tied up by Anu and brought before Leyton. Since he paid, Leyton did not directly throw him back into the Spirit World. Since he paid, he was considered a tenant here.
Dong! Dong!
A knock on the door sounded, and Nephrit, who was still ramming the safe, immediately jumped into the water and burrowed into the Spirit World.
Creak! The door opened automatically.
Klein walked in, holding a black cane and the Master Key, wearing a semi-tall top hat.
"I'm going to find Doctor Aaron and enter his dream to figure out how the nightmare related to Will Auceptin came about. Are you interested?"
Klein directly stated his plan for the evening.
"Well, I'm certainly interested, but Will Auceptin might not want to see me, even in a dream."
Leyton mused for a moment, then pulled out a folded paper figure from his pocket and handed it to Klein.
"Take this with you. After you enter the dream, if no accidents occur, I can follow the connection and let my consciousness wander into the dream you are in."
"Okay." Klein took the paper figure from Leyton, glanced at it, and put it into his jacket pocket.
Hillston Borough, Birmingham Road.
Klein used the Master Key to open a "Door" on the wall, then silently entered Doctor Aaron and his wife's bedroom.
"Slumber!" Klein quickly took out a Slumber Charm, chanted the incantation, and made Doctor Aaron's wife fall into a true slumber.
Then he sat down on the chair in front of the dressing table, took out another prepared Dream Charm, and softly uttered an ancient hermes word:
"Crimson!"
The Dream Charm in Klein's hand began to burn with a deep, tranquil blackness. This blackness, driven by Klein's will, spread out and enveloped Doctor Aaron and Klein himself.
At the same time, Leyton, who was already lying in bed, felt a faint connection appear.
Understanding that this was the feedback from the paper figure Klein carried, Leyton immediately adjusted his state and quickly entered a sleep state through meditation.
Through the psychological cue he had left for himself beforehand, Leyton's consciousness quickly became clear and, following the connection between himself and the paper figure, wandered through the world of dreams and minds, heading towards Doctor Aaron Chris's dream.
Following the sensation, Leyton arrived at a boundless, deep black place, where there was only a solitary oval light sphere.
Leyton immediately spread his spirituality and touched the somewhat illusory and hazy light sphere.
The next moment, the surrounding world suddenly inverted and distorted. Leyton's consciousness descended onto a pale yellow paper figure.
After adapting to the paper figure's body, Leyton directly controlled the paper figure to float out of Klein's pocket and land on his shoulder.
Klein looked at the paper figure floating out of his pocket and instantly understood that this was the manifestation of Leyton's consciousness in this dream.
Although he didn't understand why it was in the form of a paper figure, Klein still gently nodded towards the paper figure, allowing it to land on his shoulder.
Leyton curiously surveyed the surroundings:
A desolate, pitch-black plain, with a towering black spire in front, around which a huge silver-white long Snake of Fate was coiled.
Leyton's gaze curiously looked towards the giant Snake of Fate above, wanting to see whether it was a manifestation of Will himself or Ouroboros.
The silver-white giant Snake of Fate lowered its body, its crimson eyes coldly and emotionlessly staring at everything.
Before it, all things seemed small and equal.
The owner of this dream, Doctor Aaron, did not pay attention to this silver-white giant Snake of Fate; he merely followed the dream's progression forward.
Klein, with the small paper figure, followed Doctor Aaron, passed through an old wooden Door, and entered the interior of the Tower.
The interior layout of the Tower was extremely chaotic; some stairs went up, some went down, and the hall, Library, bedroom, and various rooms were either normal or inverted.
"Endless chaos, the embodiment of fate."
Two phrases describing the Key of Light suddenly popped into Leyton's mind.
Doctor Aaron's steps did not stop. After passing through Door after Door and wall after wall, a figure curled up in a corner appeared ahead.
Noticing Doctor Aaron's arrival, the figure quickly propped himself up and hopped closer on one leg.
As he approached, his image finally appeared completely in Leyton's eyes.
A boy around ten years old, with a somewhat naive and sturdy appearance.
His face showed obvious fear, and he held a deck of Tarot cards in his hand. His eyes, as black as ink, stared intently at Doctor Aaron, with a mix of surprise, joy, fear, and panic, saying:
"Doctor Aaron, a Snake of Fate wants to eat me!"
But his voice, to Leyton's ears, became:
"What are you doing here?"
"You know me?" Leyton asked in surprise, wanting to speak.
But the next moment, the little boy screamed, and the image of the Snake of Fate was reflected in his eyes.
Whoosh!
The dream instantly shattered, and Leyton's consciousness fell back into the world of dreams and minds.
Sighing helplessly, Leyton returned to his body.
His consciousness returned to his body, and Leyton woke up, but he had no intention of getting out of bed. Instead, he remained in his current posture and fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, Leyton received a letter from Frank, roughly explaining his research progress and complaining about the Book Messenger's limitation of only being able to send letters, not items.
Leyton was also a bit helpless. He couldn't possibly expect a book to transport items!
He casually picked up the pen on the table and wrote a reply to Frank:
Frank, could you please ask the captain if he can help me transfer a batch of valuables? I don't have channels for that, and it's not easy to sell them in Backlund.
Also, please keep an eye out for clues regarding the crystallized feathers of the Blue Shadow Falcon and the eyeballs of the Dragon Eye Sea Eagle. You just need to keep an eye out; no need to actively search.
Additionally, I've recently developed several ritualistic magic spells for maintaining a stable environment. You might need them when cultivating different crops at sea. I've put them on the paper at the back.
Your friend currently in Backlund, Al.
After writing his reply to Frank, he raised his hand and sent the letter into the Spirit World.
Leyton began to ponder whether he should find another messenger. Although this Book Messenger was convenient to use, the inability to help deliver items was indeed troublesome at times.
As he pondered, Leyton saw Nephrit, who had just poked its head out of the Spirit World.
Nephrit blinked its small black eyes twice. Before Leyton could speak, it quickly retracted its head and left without looking back.
Leyton looked at the spot where Nephrit disappeared and sighed helplessly. He had a trust crisis with this little guy.
It seems he can't ask it to be a part-time messenger... However, this greedy fellow also couldn't be trusted.
Monday, three in the afternoon, today's Tarot Club was held on time.
Above the boundless Gray Fog, as streaks of Red Light rose, blurred figures appeared around the bronze long table.
Above the Gray Fog, the first sound was still Miss Justice's familiar, cheerful greeting:
"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool~"
"Good afternoon."
Everyone greeted each other. The Sun Derrick did not hide his somewhat anxious emotions, but he also did not directly state his problem.
He knew very well that the opening period was for Mr. Fool to read the Roselle diary.
The gathering had already begun, there was no need to rush... If Mr. Fool was in a good mood, he might answer some questions.
The Sun Derrick comforted himself in his heart.
Hanged Man Alger turned his head to look at the top, and spoke humbly:
"Respected Mr. Fool, I have collected three new pages of the Roselle diary."
Diary? Roselle diary? Magician Fors immediately became focused. She suspected that this so-called Roselle diary might be something she was very familiar with.
Klein, shrouded in Gray Fog, smiled and replied:
"What do you want to exchange them for?"
Hanged Man Alger glanced at the playing card covering the right side of Mr. Fool, suppressing his inner eagerness, and maintaining his normal tone of voice:
"I want to know what that playing card next to you is?"
Klein didn't expect the Hanged Man's request to be the easiest for him to fulfill, so he chuckled softly and said:
"You may."
"Do you wish for everyone to hear, or only for yourself to know?"
Hanged Man Alger answered without hesitation:
"Only for myself to know."
He truly lacks the spirit of selfless dedication.
Leyton leaned back in the high-backed chair, silently complaining.
At this moment, Magician Fors had almost understood something:
With the so-called Roselle diary, one could exchange for answers to certain questions from Mr. Fool, and perhaps even exchange for items!
Roselle diary? Is it something written by Emperor Roselle in that unique symbol? That's actually a diary... At least Mr. Hanged Man's tone was very certain, and Mr. Fool didn't refute it.
"I've come across many, but I never bought them because I wasn't interested."
"Miss Audrey has quite a few, but I remember last week, no, it seems it was the week before last, anyway, not long ago, her dog chewed up many books and notes, including those diaries of Emperor Roselle!"
Fors's mood at this moment was like a roller coaster, from great joy to great sorrow.
I hate dogs!
Only this one thought remained in Magician Fors's mind.
