Letting one's spirit be protected by "dreams" to slow down the erosion of the dangerous darkness... This is exactly the same as having to sleep when night falls in the "Ruins of the God War"...

Also, the power in the "" shouldn't be controlled by the Goddess. If someone disappears into the darkness there, they definitely won't enter Misty Town... Where would that lead? Or would they just stay where they are, unable to contact their companions or the real world ever again, until they starve or die of old age... After reading the answer from the "Magic Mirror" , Klein gained some insight and roughly grasped the key point.

However, he felt this might not be useful, because "The Sun" was seeking pure darkness to consume the "Light Priest" potion while inside ice that wouldn't normally melt. If he entered a dream, he couldn't manipulate his body to complete that crucial step. In that case, no matter how long he persisted in the lightless darkness, it would be meaningless.

Mm, I'll wait for little "Sun" to consult the Chief of the and plan the specific details based on his reply... Of course, before that, I need to get the corresponding method from Leonard and figure out how to create darkness with a temporary dream world... Klein nodded slightly, acknowledging the answer given by the "Magic Mirror".

As for the first method of actively accepting corruption and transforming into a monster of the darkness, he didn't even consider it. In the supernatural world, this was equivalent to suicide, and it was almost impossible to remedy.

Thinking that he still had one unanswered question, Klein deliberated for a moment and said:

"Where can I obtain the potion formula for Sequence 3 'Ancient Scholar' of the 'Seer' pathway?"

On the surface of the full-length mirror, water ripples shimmered once again, reflecting a gloomy hall devoid of any natural light source.

This scene was very familiar to Klein, and he instantly recalled what it represented:

It was where the monstrous was hiding!

However, this time, the blurry, gigantic worm-like being was no longer in the depths of the hall.

Just as Klein's pupils slightly dilated, silver words appeared one by one at the bottom of this scene:

"Great Master, Zaratul is gone!"

"I can't see Him!"

Gone... Klein almost forgot to breathe for a moment.

Although he had long known that Zaratul had returned—after all, it was a chain reaction caused by his opening of the Misty Town door—he hadn't expected that this big shot had quietly left his former dwelling hall, and his whereabouts were unknown!

Even the "Magic Mirror" Arrodes couldn't track Him down... What was He plotting? The more Klein thought about it, the more a chill ran down his spine.

As a Sequence 4 demigod, there was one thing he could be certain of:

His control over the mysterious space above the Fog was insufficient. For now, he could only conceal the specialness attached to him that permeated the real world, making it hard for Beyonders of the corresponding pathways to see, but he was still unable to suppress the Law of Beyonder Characteristic Convergence. Moreover, the Gray Fog had proven time and time again that it had an intangible attraction to Beyonders and sealed artifacts of the "Seer", "Apprentice", and "Marauder" pathways, with the effect being most obvious on the "Seer" pathway!

Adding that I myself am a Sequence 4 "Faceless" with considerable attraction, it's not impossible that one day Zaratul might suddenly arrive in ... Klein kept his expression unchanged and said to the full-length mirror, which was changing scenes:

"I understand."

The next picture presented by the "Magic Mirror" Arrodes was also familiar to Klein. It was the "treasure" of the family in a cave on the peak of the Hornacis Mountains.

At the bottom of this scene, a line of silver words quickly surfaced:

"Great Master, there is another possibility, but I can't make out what it is. I only know that it is relatively easier than the first two."

The Antigonus family notebook isn't there anymore? That makes sense; it would guide its holder to the main peak of the Hornacis Mountains to seek the Antigonus family treasure, and this option can be merged with the previous one... What possibility is it that even the "Magic Mirror" Arrodes can't see? Based on my understanding of the forces related to the "Seer" pathway... praying to the Goddess? The Goddess is the "Mother of Concealment", so if She wants Arrodes to see the answer, it can see it; if She doesn't want it to see, it won't be able to discover anything... Klein's thoughts wandered, and a connection quickly clicked.

Of course, he didn't think that simply praying would grant him the "Ancient Scholar" potion formula. That was far too absurd, like a child playing a game.

Drawing on his experience as a "Nighthawk", he suspected that he might have to accumulate enough contributions before he could undergo a ritual and obtain the "Ancient Scholar" potion formula from the "Goddess of the Night".

Accumulating contributions... That's a familiar phrase... Klein sighed silently, already having some ideas:

Obviously, there was a hint on how to accumulate contributions: it was to deal with the problem of the Spire Church's faction!

However, Klein suspected that the "Seer" pathway potion formulas on the Goddess's side probably only went up to "Ancient Scholar", without the subsequent Angel sequences. This was because, back then, the Angel of the Antigonus family hadn't fallen directly but had escaped into the Hidden Palace, losing control and turning into a monster, and was in a semi-sealed state. Additionally, the "Fool" card was also there, and it hadn't been retrieved.

At this moment, Klein intended to ask about 's clone, but he suddenly remembered that, in the memories of the Mouse demigod, the one who warned "him" about the Angels of the "Marauder" pathway and Amon was precisely a mirror!

With a flash of lightning thought, Klein's eyes narrowed slightly. He looked at the full-length mirror and nodded.

"Alright, that's enough for today. You can go back. If I need anything else, I will summon you."

"Yes, Master! Goodbye, Master~ Your loyal and humble servant Arrodes is always waiting to return to your side!" On the mirror, beams of light and shadow converged, forming words or a simple stick figure waving goodbye.
