Chapter 1564
Chapter 1564: Section 1565 Anomalous Events Investigation Report Chapter 1564: Section 1565 Anomalous Events Investigation Report Frode choked for a moment, opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
Frode had actually been reflecting recently, whether to stop wasting manpower on this Anomaly Investigation Group, as there had been no sign of dawn so far.
Moreover, matters that truly related to Authority, how could they possibly be easily detected by the residents of the Dream Realm?
Frode himself was in doubt, so when Sanders spoke of relying on these reports to find the dispersed Authority, Frode was in fact deeply skeptical.
Without power in the Wilderness of Dreams, could Sanders really find the Authority through these reports that even he found unreliable?
If he couldn't find it, wouldn't he become a sinner?
Frode wanted to express his thoughts, but he feared that voicing them would displease Sanders, so he could only stand still, nervously pursing his lips.
Sanders, however, did not pay attention to Frode but picked up the Anomalous Events Investigation Report again and flipped through it, as if he wanted to reorganize its content.
In the silent air, all Frode could hear was his own uneasy heartbeat and the rustling sound of Sanders flipping the book pages. This rustling noise was like a form of psychological torture, hanging a sword above his head, which seemed to lower an inch every time the rustling sounded.
After enduring this psychological pressure for a while, Frode couldn't hold back any longer and took the initiative to break the silence.
“Sir, actually, this Anomalous Events Investigation Report I organized may not be of any use. It's full of the murmurs of Dream Realm residents, even rumors with not much reliable information. Relying on it, we may not find the dispersed Authority.” Frode's voice trembled as he said this.
Sanders looked at Frode's evasive eyes and seemed to understand something.
He smiled gently: “I'm well aware of the specific circumstances, and this search for dispersed Authority is just an experiment. Whether or not it can be found actually doesn't matter.”
“An… experiment?” Frode lifted his head to look at Sanders, full of confusion.
“Yes, it's an experiment,” Sanders nodded, about to explain, when his eyes suddenly shifted to the other side of the table.
Frode followed Sanders's gaze and saw nothing on the wooden table. Just as Frode was puzzled, a contour began to slowly emerge on the table surface.
Quickly, that outline like a hidden thread filled with color and revealed its true identity.
It was a scroll of parchment that appeared out of thin air, bound with an old rope that, to mortals, would not reveal its nature from the appearance.
However, the two present were not mortals, and they recognized the true identity of this parchment roll from its material and design at a glance.
“Is this the Magic Rune Scroll?” Frode asked.
“Correct,” Sanders's eyes gleamed as he looked at the parchment: “You wanted to know what experiment to conduct, it is to use this for the experiment.”
Sanders took the scroll, untied the rope, and slowly unrolled it.
As the parchment was unfolded, they seemed to see a series of strange images before them, but in a flash, those images disappeared.
This was because they were essentially the same as mortals now, unable to manipulate energy, and naturally could not see the true essence of the parchment.
“What kind of scroll is this?” Frode looked closely at the parchment and saw no pattern, completely different from the scrolls he had used before.
As Frode puzzled over this, a clear voice came from behind him.
“Frode, why don't you guess what kind of scroll this is?”
Frode turned around to see Angel appearing on the outside terrace; he pushed open the door and came in.
Angel appearing at this time did not surprise Frode much. The Magic Rune Scroll appearing out of nowhere in the Wilderness of Dreams only had one possibility: it was sent by Angel through the “Dream Conch of the Moonlit Coast.”
After bringing the Magic Rune Scroll to the Wilderness of Dreams, it was certain that Angel would also follow.
“Let me guess?” Frode observed the Magic Rune Scroll again but still could not see the clue. Then, he noticed that both Angel and Sanders, looking at the scroll, seemed to be suppressing joy.
Joy? A Magic Rune Scroll that could bring them joy, could it be… A flash of spirit light sparked in Frode's mind: “Could this be the Scroll of Fortune?”
Frode, after asking the question, had eagerness and anticipation in his eyes.
For certain reasons, Frode had completely regarded the Wilderness of Dreams as The Real World, hence he was extremely eager to perfect the numerous rules within the Wilderness of Dreams. And to perfect the Wilderness of Dreams, one must gain more Authority.
However, Core Authority is difficult to come by randomly, and only through the Scroll of Fortune was there a chance to increase the odds. Therefore, Frode's expectation for the Scroll of Fortune was no less than Angel's.
Angel didn't beat around the bush, directly nodding his head: “Yes, it is the Scroll of Fortune.”
Frode's eyes immediately sparkled with ecstasy.
Angel then said: “Any questions, let's talk later, let's discuss the main matter first.”
Frode nodded, the plethora of questions he initially had were temporarily suppressed in his heart.
“This Scroll of Fortune is indeed used to obtain Authority. However, before that, Mentor and I discussed and decided to first experiment with its effect.”
The power of Luck is indeed too elusive; no one knows if it can be realized within the Wilderness of Dreams. Therefore, they planned to do an experiment. Moreover, due to the special nature of the Wilderness of Dreams, even if they use the Scroll of Fortune here, they can still replicate another one through the Dream Conch.
After listening, Frode also understood. Angel and Sanders' plan was to use the Scroll of Fortune to search for that dispersed Authority. Of course, the premise is that there really are related details about that dispersed Authority in the Anomalous Events Investigation Report.
“Whether there's any news related to that dispersed Authority, isn't it just a matter of trying?”
Angel spoke and looked at the Scroll of Fortune, then at Frode: “This way, you'll conduct the experiment, after all, you set up the Anomaly Investigation Group and are most familiar with these reports.”
Angel handed the Scroll of Fortune to Frode.
In fact, it would be best if Angel himself used it, one could experience the power of Luck firsthand. However, as all the wizards who mentioned the Scroll of Fortune said, it is easy to become dependent on it and is more dangerous than one might imagine.
Angel's plan was to avoid using it if possible, only opening it when obtaining Authority.
Frode excitedly took the Scroll of Fortune, and under the watchful eyes of Sanders and Angel, he took a deep breath.
Since Frode did not have the energy to activate the Scroll of Fortune, he could only use the most primitive method of opening it, tearing the scroll.
He cleared his mind first, thinking of only one thing: the dispersed Authority.
Immediately afterward, his gaze was fixed on the Anomalous Events Investigation Report, his hands beginning to move.
At the moment the Scroll of Fortune was torn, Frode only felt a strange pattern of geometric lines flash before his eyes, followed by no other anomalies.
He looked doubtfully at the Anomalous Events Investigation Report in his hands; he didn't feel anything special, no moment of insight.
Was it that the Scroll of Fortune had no effect, or did the cases recorded in the Anomalous Events Investigation Report have no relation to the dispersed Authority?
Frode himself couldn't judge.
He looked up at Angel, wanting to seek confirmation, but didn't notice that his cuff had brushed against the book pages.
“It seems like there aren't any effects?” Frode spoke softly, “Could it be that the dispersed Authority wasn't recorded in the files?”
While Frode was speaking, he noticed that the gaze of Angel and Sanders wasn't on him, but instead fixed on the investigation report on the table.
Frode looked down and noticed that his cuff had grazed the book page, and a slight movement had inadvertently turned it.
Finally, the page stopped on one in particular.
Frode looked, and at first glance, what he saw was not the content of the page, but a name: Lisa.
Lisa was the person who submitted this report, and also one of the members of the Anomaly Investigation Group.
While Frode was recalling the specific content of the reports submitted by Lisa, Angel and Sanders' gaze had already moved on to the content of that page.
Sanders had already finished reading the Anomalous Events Investigation Report before, so as soon as he saw the title, he knew roughly what the content was about.
However, precisely because he knew what the content was, Sanders' expression became a bit peculiar.
