In front of the majestic palace with its gray-white exterior soaring over two hundred meters high stood several massive stone pillars, slightly shorter than the palace itself, like a row of upright guards.
Klein could imagine that when the Miracle City, Levisid, still floated in the sky, these pillars must have been perched on by mighty dragons.
They were the attendants or divine servants of the ancient god.
He then looked up at the open door and said to Leonard and Audrey: "Stay close to me. If anything goes wrong, I'll take you out of the world inside the book and return directly to Above the
This was precisely Klein's main reliance that allowed him to dare to explore this place.
"Mm." Neither Audrey nor Leonard tried to act tough; they walked to Klein's sides.
Using their spirit body flight ability to cross layer after layer of steps, the three entered the palace through that exaggeratedly grand door.
The first thing that met their eyes was a space spacious enough for multiple dragons to roll around freely, and ancient stone pillars that seemed to prop up the sky.
On both sides of this hall, there were colorful murals that stretched forward and converged behind a half-section giant pillar that would take unknown numbers of people to encircle.
That giant pillar stood at the deepest part of the hall, straight ahead, and without relying on anything else, it alone could make one feel intense awe and sense the vicissitudes of time, like a petrified god.
Almost instantly, a gray-white figure was sketched out on that giant pillar.
That figure was entirely covered in scales, each one as solid as a stone slab, and just its vague outline felt like an epic.
"The Imaginary Dragon," Ankewel! Just as this thought flashed through Klein's mind, he heard a strangely familiar voice echoing in the exaggeratedly spacious hall: "'The Imaginary Dragon,' Ankewel!"
As Klein looked around in surprise, he heard Leonard sincerely reciting: "The deep air listened in silence around Him; "The breeze almost dared not to breathe..." (Note 1) ... This guy still has the mood to recite poetry, and I don't even know whose it is... Klein turned to look at Leonard.
Immediately after, he heard an echo: "This guy still has the mood to recite poetry, and I don't even know whose it is..."
At that moment, Leonard looked quite startled, his mouth tightly shut, shaking his head repeatedly.
But the next second, a voice sounded beside him: "I didn't recite anything!"
"What's going on? Strange..." Klein's heart stirred as he realized that the just-now familiar voice belonged to him.
And it echoed again, repeating the thoughts that had flashed through Klein's mind.
Then, "Justice" Audrey's soft voice sounded with some muttering: "This... this hall can make our inner thoughts appear directly around us, even manifest them? Hmm... when I saw that giant pillar earlier, I was imagining what the 'Imaginary Dragon' Ankewel looked like, using the Mind Dragon I had seen before as a model...
"My words, no, indeed they are spoken by the 'hall'..."
So that's it. Fortunately, I didn't think of anything strange. Okay, restrain my thoughts, restrain my thoughts... Klein began to try to concentrate through meditation, not allowing himself to think randomly.
At the same time, the corresponding words sounded almost synchronously beside him: "...restrain my thoughts, restrain my thoughts, restrain my thoughts..."
"So Mr. World's inner mind is like this, like a newly enrolled child, constantly reminding himself of things he needs to pay attention to. Also, the objects of his meditation are layered glowing spheres, so beautiful. No, no, I didn't think that, nor did I describe you like that, Mr. World, really!" As her true thoughts kept manifesting, Audrey finally couldn't help but curl her lips.
As for Leonard, the sound of "Hahaha" had long been echoing around him.
"These two... no, why did I use 'these two'? Polite, be polite..." Klein sighed helplessly as he listened to his inner words, "This place is very suitable for playing Truth or Dare. Maybe it should be called 'Hall of Honesty'..."
"What kind of game is that?" Audrey could express her doubt without even opening her mouth.
"Probably invented by Emperor Roselle... I need to be careful not to think about inappropriate things. Really, without meditation, it's too difficult to restrain random stray thoughts..." Klein answered while habitually warning himself inside, and as a result, he was again mercilessly betrayed by the hall.
This time, Audrey also laughed out loud: "Haha, Mr. World has this side too, which I failed to decipher before..."
"Haha, Klein, you've finally met your match. No, what did I say?" Leonard suddenly raised his right hand and covered his mouth.
