Bernadette gazed at the outlines for a long time until they gradually sharpened as the *Dawn* drew closer, outlining an island of no small size.
On the island, one after another, huge trees as deep green as black stood tall, covering the ground and obscuring the mountain peaks.
Although Bernadette couldn't be sure that this was the primeval island her father had once visited, the instincts of a Master of Prophecy told her that this was very likely the place she was seeking.
As the coastline came into her view, she pressed her lips together, lowered her head, and chanted an honorific name: "The Fool that does not belong to this era, the Mysterious Ruler above the
Immediately after, the "Mystery Queen" Bernadette raised her hand and brought the crewless *Dawn* to a halt in the offshore waters, not approaching the shore.
At the same time, the sounds of piano, violin, cello, flute and other instruments arose in the unmanned cabin, weaving together a lively and cheerful tune.
As the music echoed, the toast, steak, mashed potatoes, fried mushrooms and other items placed on the plates successively jumped up, danced back into the oven, or threw themselves into the trash can.
The wine bottle, white tablecloth and other things also returned to their original positions, either putting themselves back on the cork or repeatedly folding themselves until they were neat and tidy.
Then, Bernadette tossed out a bright, unreal ball of yarn with her right hand.
The ball of yarn rolled into the void, leaving a strand of yarn behind. Bernadette walked along it, strolling through the Spirit World, arriving at the edge of the nameless island.
The "Mystery Queen" did not rush to delve deeper to find the possible tomb of the "Black Emperor." Cautiously, she made her eyes, as blue as the sea, become deep and briefly lose focus, as if peering into the river of fate.
A few seconds later, Bernadette's eyes returned to normal, and she instinctively looked up at the sky.
She felt the gaze of a certain existence upon her.
Of course, this was expected, because she had intentionally chanted the honorific name of "Mr. Fool."
Above the Gray Fog, in the ancient palace, Klein had accommodated the "Fool" card, draped that "curtain," and held the "Star Staff." He was examining the situation on the island through the light of prayer from the "Mystery Queen."
In his true vision, the island was shrouded in a faint, warped blackness that prevented him from seeing the interior directly; he could only obtain Bernadette's perspective.
Even if this wasn't the primeval island discovered by Emperor Roselle, it was no simple place... Klein nodded almost imperceptibly, waiting for the "Mystery Queen" to explore further.
Bernadette did not use the yarn ball again, because she sensed it would lead her into a dangerous abyss she couldn't resist.
She took out a phantom hat and put it on her head.
Her figure, dressed as a ship captain, then vanished, hiding all traces.
This was also one of the fairy-tale magics from "Mystical Reappearance," the core of which was a "hat" that could make people invisible.
Then, Bernadette followed a path that seemed to have been cleared by humans and entered the forest of huge trees.
There was no birdsong, no roar of beasts, no sound of insects crawling. It was as peaceful as if time had frozen, and as dead as if there were no living creatures.
According to Bernadette's understanding, there should be many supernatural creatures that had gone extinct outside, and normally it would be quite lively, but now, she felt like she was walking through an empty graveyard, with every giant tree a tombstone.
If it were a Beyonder with a weak mind, they would certainly be tensing up under heavy pressure, slowly approaching the edge of losing control, but Bernadette's expression did not change at all, as if she were accustomed to moving through danger and strangeness.
After walking for nearly half an hour, she still saw no living creature, nor even felt the presence of wind.
Suddenly, the view opened up before her because the giant trees suddenly thinned out ahead.
Bernadette did not feel any joy; instead, she slowed her steps. She raised her hand and pressed it against her forehead.
In front of her, a pair of eyelashless, extremely indifferent, almost transparent eyes appeared.
Then, these "Eyes of Mysteries" were held by invisible hands and placed on the face of a transparent person.
This was Bernadette's "Invisible Servant."
The "Invisible Servant" carried the "Eyes of Mysteries" and quickly passed through the remaining path to reach the open woodland.
During this process, its vision gradually became clear, as if no longer affected by the faint blackness permeating the air.
Finally, the "Invisible Servant" arrived at the edge of the open space, transmitting the scene there back to Bernadette's vision through the "Eyes of Mysteries": Beyond the sparse woods was a large clearing, where countless creatures lay prostrate.
