1071 Hall of Truth (1/2)

In front of the grayish-white grand palace that was more than 200 meters tall, there were a few thick stone columns that were slightly shorter than it was, as though they were a squadron of soldiers standing at attention there.

Klein could imagine that, when the City of Miracles, Liveseyd, was still floating in mid-air, these stone columns would definitely have powerful dragons crouching on them.

These were the servants of the ancient god.

He then looked up at the open door and said to Leonard and Audrey, ”Stay close to me. Once an accident happens, I'll immediately take you out of the book world and return directly above the gray fog.”

This was the main reason why Klein dared to explore the area.

”Okay.” Audrey and Leonard didn't try putting on a brave front as they walked to Klein's side and walked alongside him.

Relying on their Spirit Bodies' flight ability, the trio passed the stairs and entered the palace through the exaggerated and magnificent door.

The first thing they saw was a wide space that was enough for multiple dragons to roll around freely, as well as an ancient stone pillars that seemed to prop up the sky.

On the two sides of the hall, there were colorful and beautiful murals. They kept extending forward and intertwining themselves with a huge pillar that was multiple arm spans wide.

The giant pillar was in the deepest recesses of the hall right ahead of them. Without relying on anything else, just the pillar alone was enough to make people feel a strong sense of fear and make them experience the vicissitudes of time. It was like a fossilized deity.

Almost instantly, a grayish-white figure appeared on the pillar.

The figure was covered in scales, and every scale resembled a sturdy stone slab. Just the faint outline of the figure made it seem epic.

Dragon of Imagination, Ankewelt! Just as this thought flashed through Klein's mind, he heard an oddly familiar voice echoing in the spacious hall:

”Dragon of Imagination, Ankewelt!”

As Klein looked around in astonishment, he heard Leonard sigh emotionally.

”The deep air listen'd round 'Him' as 'He' rode, ”And all the low wind hardly breathed for fear[l]...

...This fellow still has the mood to recite poetry, I wonder whose poem he's reciting... Klein turned to look at Leonard. Then, he heard an echo:

”This fellow still has the mood to recite poetry, I wonder whose poem he's reciting...”

At this moment, Leonard's expression was one of shock. He shut his mouth tightly and shook his head in denial.

But the next second, a voice sounded beside him:

”I didn't recite anything!”

”What's going on? Strange...” At the same moment Klein had this thought, he realized that the strangely familiar voice belonged to him.

As it echoed again, repeating the thoughts that flashed through Klein's mind.

Then, Audrey's gentle and mumbling voice sounded:

”This... This hall is able to let our thoughts present themselves in our surroundings, and is even able to conjure them? Hmm…When I saw that huge pillar just now, I was imagining what the Dragon of Imagination Ankewelt looked like. It was based on the blueprint of the mind dragon I saw before...

”Why is whatever I'm saying—No, indeed, the 'hall' articulates it...”

So that's the case. Luckily, I didn't think of anything strange just now. Yes, rein in my thoughts, rein in my thoughts... Klein began to use Cogitation to focus his mind and not let his imagination run wild.

At the same time, the corresponding words echoed around him almost in sync:

”...rein in my thoughts, rein in my thoughts...”

”So that's what Mr. World's inner world is like. He's like a child who just started school, constantly emphasizing matters that he needs to take attention of. Also, the image for his Cogitation is actually layers of spherical lights. It's so beautiful. No, no, I'm not thinking of this! I'm not describing you like this. Mr_ World, I_m serious「^ thoughts kept appearing as she finally couldn't help but curl her lips.

As for Leonard, the voices around him were already echoing with ”Hahaha.”

”These two fellows... No, why am I using 'fellow'? Be polite, be more polite...” As Klein listened to his thoughts, he sighed helplessly. ”This place is very suitable for playing 'Truth or Dare.' Perhaps it should be called 'the Hall of Truth.…”

”What game is that?” Audrey didn't need to open her mouth to express her doubts.

”It was probably invented by Emperor Roselle... I have to be careful not to think about things I shouldn't think about. Seriously, it's too difficult to rein in random thoughts without the use of Cogitation...” As Klein replied, he habitually warned himself, only to have the hall ruthlessly betray him again.

This time, Audrey laughed and said, ”Haha, Mr. World actually has such a side to him. I actually failed to read it in the past...”

”Hahaha, to think you're experiencing such a day, Klein. No, what did I say...” Leonard suddenly raised his right hand and covered his mouth.

Unsurprisingly, he heard Miss Justice's ”question”:
