Hefting the bird-shaped gold ornament in his hand, Klein quickly returned to reality, casually picked an empty space, set up an altar, and performed a sacrifice ritual.
As for the other secrets hidden in Calderón, the City of the Dead, as for the "Eternal River of Darkness" and the blurry figures wandering within it, he had no intention of delving deeper for now, because he had more important things to do and a crucial question to ask the "Goddess of the Night".
Soon, he completed the ritual, combining the candle flames with spiritual materials to form a "Gate of Sacrifice and Gifting".
Without hesitation, Klein placed the bird-shaped gold ornament into the wind, letting it pass through the slowly opening mysterious gate, disappearing into the boundless darkness.
The next second, he keenly sensed that he was forcibly dragged into a dream.
At the center of the dream was a Gothic palace that seemed to merge with the surrounding darkness. Its details were exquisite, its colors somber, yet it didn't lack splendor.
Klein walked past clusters of night-blooming herbs and deep-sleep flowers, and entered the palace.
At the deepest part of the hall, the "Goddess of the Night" sat on an ancient high-backed chair, still wearing that layered yet simple dark black dress.
The specks of brilliance on the dress reflected the radiance on the palace dome, walls, and columns, creating a quiet and dreamy starry sky.
The "Goddess of the Night," whose face seemed veiled in layers of gauze, held the bird-shaped gold ornament, slowly stood up, descended the steps, and walked in front of Klein.
Her voice sounded like a serenade: "What do you wish to ask?"
Klein politely took off his top hat, slightly bowed, and said: "I want to know if the grayish-white mist covering the 'Eternal River of Darkness' is related to that '
In other words, the
Although the "Goddess of the Night"'s head was unclear, Klein intuitively felt that She seemed to smile: "Yes, and it's not just the 'Eternal River of Darkness' that is covered by the grayish-white mist. The city behind the door in Bansi Port and the entire Western Continent are also covered by it."
Klein hesitated for a moment and said: "Is this a seal?"
The "Goddess of the Night"'s dream projection nodded: "Yes, except for 'Sefirah Castle' and the 'Chaotic Sea', all other Source Qualities were sealed in the Western Continent by that 'Lord of the Mysteries'."
The "Eternal River of Darkness", the "Mother Hive", the "City of Calamity", the "Shadow World", the "Realm of Disorder", the "Wilderness of Knowledge", and the "
When he saw the scene behind the door in Bansi before, he suspected it was related to the Western Continent, and based on the clue that Bansi was the location of the "Red Angel"
After a moment of silence, Klein did not hide his feelings and frankly sighed: "That 'Lord of the Mysteries' is more powerful than I imagined... How could an Old One who can be called a pillar of the universe fall silently without a sound?"
The "Goddess of the Night"'s dream projection shook her head: "It was not without a sound. From some clues now, it can be inferred that He fell together with that 'God' from the ancient era. The corpse of that 'God' formed the first 'Blasphemy Slate' in the 'Chaotic Sea', and next to the slate was the uniqueness of the 'Marauder' pathway."
In other words, in the middle of the First Epoch, the "Lord of the Mysteries" and that "God" had an extremely fierce but quiet battle, eventually both falling? This could explain why, when the
The "Goddess of the Night"'s dream projection spoke in a soft and soothing voice: "Convergence is instinct."
