Chapter 156 Maria
"If you come to the fishing village from the outside world, you must wake up Maria and get the key from her. However, if you go from the fishing village to the outside world and break the seal from the inside, it doesn't matter whether you have the key or not."
After saying so much, Kos finally revealed his purpose, "If possible, 'Fire', I hope you don't disturb her. She has committed suicide in her dream and let her consciousness fall into a deep sleep. As long as she is not disturbed from the outside world, it is probably good for her to sleep like this for the rest of her life."
Kos' tone was a little elusive when he said this, "Maybe it's good for her to just sleep like this."
Lin Hun did not agree to Kos in a hurry. The troubles in the village had already taught him a lesson. It would be better to solve the problem at hand first before talking about other things.
"The problem is that I have been searching for so long but have not found a way in. I only saw this huge dial of the seal you mentioned. How can I enter this clock tower?"
Kos's tone returned to its previous briskness. He was just asking. Every superior had his own will. Constant nagging would only cause annoyance. It would be difficult to achieve the desired result by forcing it.
So Kos just mentioned it casually and told the story of Maria and made his own efforts. As for what the "fire" close to humans would do, He was not sure, so now he should focus on business.
"If you want to get through, you must use your energy to penetrate the dial and break the seal from the inside."
"Yours is not okay? We are all superiors, there is no reason why only I can break it?"
“It’s not impossible,” Kos said with a hint of disdain in his tone, “It’s because of the hunters’ pathetic self-esteem. They were afraid that their atrocities would be discovered, so they sealed the fishing village thinking they could hide it forever.”
"Tsk!" Kos smacked his lips. "It's just the naive thinking of an arrogant human. If I use my strength to break through, it's possible, but there's no need. I can sense the situation in various parts of the nightmare without going out. If I were to break the seal, Maria would definitely wake up, so I can only introduce other forces from the outside to break it."
"It sounds like you really like and value Maria."
"Hmm." Kos responded without confirming or denying. It was the lotus born from the mud that was worthy of His cherishment.
"Okay, I know how to do it, you can go now."
Lin Hun ordered the guest to leave without any hesitation. There was no need for any extra greetings when dealing with a superior.
"What did you promise me?"
"I'm considering it." Lin Hun said casually and waved his hand to signal Kos to leave quickly.
"Hehe, then I'll take it as your agreement." Kos said to himself, without giving Lin Hun a chance to refute, and left like the wind.
Lin Hun could only smack his lips and put his hand on the huge dial.
"What can I do if I agree? What can anyone do if she wakes up on her own?"
Flames surged out from Lin Hun's palm like a tide.
With the example of the Iron Gate in the Dark Soul world, Lin Hun was worried that his flames would be too fierce and accidentally burn down the clock tower. If he accidentally destroyed the structure of the dream world and caused other impacts, it could cause some big trouble. So Lin Hun deliberately controlled the flames to only cover the entire dial. This level of control was not difficult for him now.
The frozen hour and minute hands on the clock began to move, and the entire dial began to twist with it.
Lin Hun was close enough to observe the watch and discovered many small details on the dial.
"The time scale on this dial was originally changed into runes. This is also the result of Byron Weiss's occult research. It seems that their research on runes is quite profound and even tends to form its own school."
The ability to develop infinite mysteries using only a few runes undoubtedly demonstrates human beings' ability to invent and create.
"What a pity. I'm afraid these runes are the limit of what humans can accept."
But this does not prevent Lin Hun from looking forward to what technical memories will be brought to him after completely removing the dial.
"Click, click." The gears connected crisply and rhythmically, and the deep-sea rune rotated from the top all the way to the lowest point of the dial. When everything stopped, a round hole with a diameter of two meters appeared in front of Lin Hun, which was large enough for most normal people to pass through.
It was unknown how long it took for the so-called seal to be finally released. The only flaw was the memory that Lin Hun obtained, which included the construction of the clock and the later rune engraving, but not the composition of the seal.
Lin Hun’s knowledge reserves are not enough to analyze the mysteries created by these runes in human hands, but the knowledge is there, and one day when he has a certain foundation, everything will become clear.
The seal blocking the way forward has been opened, so Lin Hun certainly cannot retreat. He has been busy for so long, just for this moment.
Lin Hun held the shield in front of him and walked into the clock panel without looking back. The fishing village was not his hometown, so he had nothing to remember about it.
------
As soon as Lin Hun stepped into the house, he heard a voice coming from inside the house. It seemed as if the voice had been waiting for his arrival without any hesitation.
This made Lin Hun feel a little surprised, but more troubled. He could already guess who was talking.
"To be honest, I never thought that there would be hunters entering the clock tower from the fishing village. None of us thought about it, so we didn't impose a seal from the outside."
"But even so, it's not easy to make the clock move."
There was no need to look for the sound. There was only one person in the whole room. She was sitting on a wooden chair right below Lin Hun, talking with her back to Lin Hun.
"Kos, you really gave me a lot of trouble. Now it's not about whether I am willing to disturb her, but whether she is willing to let me go."
The one who spoke was Maria, and only Maria. She held the handrail with both hands, slowly stood up, turned her head and looked at Lin Hun.
"Looking at your attire, should I call you 'Hunter'? But since I've been guarding here, no hunter has ever arrived, let alone a hunter coming out of the fishing village. Has reality been studied to the point where hunters can control where they land?"
Maria's words were full of questions. Although she hated the hunters' behavior, she cared about their overall development.
"It doesn't matter what you call me, it's up to you, but unfortunately, strictly speaking, I'm not a hunter."
"Isn't he a hunter..."
Maria fell into deep thought, she didn't know how to deal with this intruder.
Taking this opportunity, Lin Hun looked up at Maria. He wanted to see what kind of hunter was this that Kos favored.
Maria's fair skin appeared sickly pale. Of course, it was possible that all hunters in nightmares were like this, but Lin Hun still had a preconceived notion that this was a characteristic of the vampires' appearance because Maria came from the vampire clan.
Her pure white hair fell from the side of her face to her vest, and her clothes were somewhat similar to Lin Hun's. They were simple and capable leather products without any heavy metal. However, the collar (Krabat) on her chest and the patterns on the corners of her clothes showed her different social status and taste. However, the originally white collar was stained with blood on the corners, which gave her a bit of sadness.
