Chapter 254: Chapter 29 Hemorso’s Mystery

Time continued to pass for about a Magic Time, and after the group infiltrated the bottom of the Mysterious Sea Abyss in a corner of the Dream World, they finally found all five stone tablets.

Due to the characteristics of the Dream World, the environment here is not smoothly transitioned but rather seems to be haphazardly glued together like toys, with distinct discontinuities.

The nearly ten thousand meters deep blue-black abyss is located just below a rock cliff that cuts off sharply, not more than ten meters from the edge of the Dream Forest.

The task of repairing the stone tablet Array fell to Saphia, who, as an Arcane Mage specialized in complex Spell construction, found this to be a piece of cake.

The silver-blue Magic Cube spun, casting tiny dots of Inscriptions into the cracks of the stone tablet, slightly merging the rock faces while reconnecting the fractured Array circuits.

In a moment, the fully repaired stone tablet appeared before everyone’s eyes.

Anvis casually took out a cut Demon Crystal and placed it into the groove at the center of the Array. The Array shone faintly, and suddenly, a bright path of light appeared before everyone’s eyes.

And the direction of this glowing path was none other than that bizarre and bright Purple Moon in the dark night sky of the Dream World.

“Be careful, the sky portion of these kinds of miniature Dream Worlds is usually just a part of the sky projection from the Dream of Unival. At a certain height, it becomes very fragile and Dream fractures can easily form.

Once you accidentally get sucked in, you might fall into the Deep Dream. Then, finding your way back becomes extremely troublesome. Not only is it easy to get lost, but you might also be affected by the force field of the Deep Dream, leading to an endless slumber.”

Saphia looked at the path of light extending toward the moon and carefully shared this piece of Dream World knowledge to the group.

This was mainly for Alisa, the young Knight who appeared to have no understanding of the Dream World.

“Huh! Is that so?”

Sure enough, upon hearing Saphia’s explanation, the girl with golden-red eyes couldn’t help but look at the sky in surprise.

At the same time, Anvis seemed to have a thought and glanced at the Half-Elf Player behind him.

Seeing his glance, the Player dressed in white clothing became somewhat panicked, worried that this NPC might impulsively throw him into a fracture.

However, to his slight relief, Anvis just looked at him and then nothing further occurred.

“Alright, let’s set off quickly.”

Casu, enveloped in a robe, shook his black hood and suggested.

Without delay, everyone began to fly along the path of light towards the sky on their respective flying equipment.

As the altitude climbed higher, the moon in the sky began to slowly become clearer.

At the same time, the surrounding environment gradually became ethereal, with stealthy, pitch-black hidden rifts silently opening and closing, making the sky here fraught with danger.

To ensure safety, Casu released a large number of specters to float ahead and scout the path.

If a Dream fracture appeared ahead, these special ghosts would be able to sharply detect it and lead the group to avoid it in advance.

With Casu’s help, the group gradually approached the end of the path of light, and the illusory purple moon in the sky softly shimmered before them, growing as big as a round disc.

When everyone got within a certain range of the Purple Moon, the stone tablet suddenly turned into a burst of light and drifted towards the illusory projection of the Purple Moon.

Correspondingly, after absorbing the light points from the stone tablet, the projection of the Purple Moon suddenly began to rotate, transforming into a round, ancient Stone Gate shimmering with soft moonlight.

Inscribed on the surface of the Stone Gate was a famous riddle from the Ancient Magic Empire.

‘The bearer of the stars has obtained three cups of fine wine and wishes to bestow it upon companions, but the number of companions is endless. How should it be distributed?’

.….….

“The test to enter the gate has begun, but it seems we have an unexpected guest.”

“What should we do? Should we remove the foreigner now?”

At this moment, in another independent Dream Space, many members of the True Knowledge Society, wrapped in black cloaks with the Silver Blue ‘Scepter of Truth’ insignia, were gathered in a lavishly decorated spacious hall.

The interior was adorned in the style of the Ancient Magic Empire Palace, with white and gold as the dominant colors, creating an elegant and comfortable environment. Soft velvet sofas and Dragon Heart Wood coffee tables were scattered throughout the room, covered with various precious drinks.

A splendid Demon Crystal chandelier hung from the high vaulted ceiling, interwoven with Mithril patterns, emitting a soft, pale golden light that made the environment hazy but not dim.

On one side of the hall’s wall, four different projections were cast.

The students of the True Knowledge Society were using a special Magic Device to observe the Trial process of Anvis and his companions.

This was a rule established when the True Knowledge Society was first founded, a ritualistic procedure that has been passed down to the present day.

At this time, seeing the figure of the unexpected Player among the group, the members adorned with the silver insignia could not help but exchanged glances with one another.

Such an accident had never occurred in previous assessments. After whispering among themselves for a while, they turned their gazes to a round table on one side of the room.

Around the table were twelve high-back chairs carved out of pure gold, but most of them were empty, with only three figures seated there—one female and two males.

And behind them, the True Knowledge Society’s insignia was not silver, but gold.

“Wait and see for now.”

Sensing the attention of the crowd, one of the male figures with brown hair and golden eyes spoke calmly, his voice carrying a strange magnetic quality that instinctively made people feel convinced by his words.

….

“This is the famous ‘Hemorso’s Mystery’ Secret Door structure from the Ancient Magic Empire. Think of your answer in your heart and touch the door to pass through,” Saphia said, lifting her hand to adjust her pale blue wavy hair, speaking in a tone that seemed eternally unchanging.

“However, it could also be a trap, such as ‘Demogorgon’s Disguise’. Rashly touching the door might result in being cursed, requiring a powerful attack to break through,” Casu suggested with a somewhat solemn tone.

“If we judge incorrectly, we might damage the door. But with my current strength, it’s not possible to detect the difference between these two structures,” Saphia added, tapping the floating Magic Cube beside her, watching inscription lights flowing over it before shaking her head.

“So, what should we do?” Alisa asked, blinking her gold and red eyes. She was completely lost when it came to these high-level magic topics, so she raised the question.

“I think that’s an excellent question,” Anvis said with a smile, a glint of light reflecting off the surface of his monocle.

Then, the three of them turned their gazes simultaneously toward a certain Player behind them.

“Me?”

The one dressed in white robes, pure as driven snow, was startled and then shocked.

“The answer is to give three cups of wine randomly to three fellow travelers,” Anvis said, a smile in his eyes as he floated to his side, tapping his shoulder with his Magic Wand, and immediately, a protective aura appeared around him.

“You’ve been empowered, go on now.”

“I understand…”

Looking at the task panel for touching the Stone Gate and its unknown consequences, and then at the seemingly harmless, yet All Attributes-question-mark NPC before him, the one in white robes, pure as driven snow, felt bitter inside.
