Chapter 829 The Inspiration of the Moon
The others on the snake ship did not enter the golden kingdom; the ship anchored in a dead-end area along the coast.

Although Milo and his group had no plan for this operation, they still had a basic division of labor. It was obviously unwise for a group of people to rush into the shade of the golden tree at the same time. They should at least leave a way out. Even if they successfully found the Eye of Thinking, they should have someone to help them retreat.

Yan and Xiao Yan were the team responsible for providing support during the retreat.

Of course, the main reason is because these two are too good at causing trouble.

So now they were lying on the deck facing opposite directions, idly playing with their fingers.

As for Rick, he stated that he is merely a coroner who can cook, a role that typically doesn't involve him on the battlefield unless there's an important battle requiring him to provide the music.

So right now he's hiding in the cabin appreciating ancient poetry.

...

As for the snake people, especially Woti Ig.

He was absolutely unwilling to set foot in the land of gold.

Last time, he flaunted his power before the Golden People as the Son of Ig, but now he has become the servant of the person he once vowed to kill. This huge difference in status is unacceptable to the proud man, and at the very least, he cannot let the people of the Golden Law Temple know about it.

If he really killed Milo, that would be a different story; he might actually get half of the faith of the Golden Kingdom and reach the pinnacle of his serpentic life.

But not all the Golden People are fools; some of them can see through the snake people's schemes, such as the tavern owner Topriya.

This group of people would love for the snake-man to die.

...

"I don't know why, but since I came here, I've had a very familiar feeling, as if I've been here before..."

Xiao Yan lay on the deck, staring at the starless night sky, and suddenly said something like this.

However, Yan didn't take it seriously. He just reached out and rubbed Xiao Yan's head, saying, "You said the same thing when we first arrived in Derasrian City and Nanwei City."

"Really?" Xiao Yan was confused, as if she didn't even remember what she had said.

Yes, yes.

Yan was already used to Xiao Yan's crazy talk and didn't take it seriously.

But this time, Xiao Yan seemed to be in a strange low mood, but she didn't show it. She just silently snuggled into Yan's arms and buried her head deep in his arms.

...

……

Yan held Xiao Yan like a kitten and lay down on the deck to sleep.

Meanwhile, in the Golden Kingdom, Milo was being carried around by Marshall like a kitten.

...

Do you still remember that ancient legend?
It is said that powerful individuals among the Usagi cats can jump onto the moon in the Dreamland.

Now that Marshall has grown up, although he is not yet a particularly powerful individual, he has the advantage of being in the closest place to the full moon. Even with Milo, an adult Shadow, by his side, he can still do a few leaps to reach the surface of the full moon. Of course, this is already the limit of his ability.

...

And so, this scene unfolded under the golden tree's shade.

The little black cat, clutching Milo's collar, hopped and skipped lightly through the air high in the sky.

Rebecca and Princess Rose on the ground were completely stunned.

The princess also uttered a heartfelt exclamation:
"He's so dashing!"

"You mean Marshall, right?" Rebecca crossed her arms and glanced sideways at the seemingly mentally unstable girl next to her.

The princess shook her head repeatedly, her gaze intense, a serene and lovely smile on her face:
"I'm talking about Milo."

“Milo…” Rebecca muttered to herself, then turned to look at Princess Rose with suspicion: “It seems he has met quite a few women in the past two years.”

“Know each other? No, no.” Princess Rose waved her hands repeatedly, as if afraid Rebecca would misunderstand, and hurriedly explained, “We only met once before parting ways in a hurry…”

But as he spoke the latter half, his eyes darted around, and the panicked and bewildered expression on his face disappeared, replaced by a relaxed and at ease look. He added, "I just took a light nap."

The change of heart was so swift that even Rebecca was almost caught off guard.

One second she was a pure and elegant young girl, the next she suddenly revealed her sharp edge.

Unfortunately, she's really messed up this time.

Before she could finish speaking, Princess Rose's forehead was pressed against the barrel of a revolver.

The red-haired female enforcer's signature magnetic voice asked coldly in Princess Rose's ear:

"You mean you not only stole my man, but you also want to steal my cat?"

……

...

Milo definitely won't be able to see this scene on the ground.

At this moment, Marshall had already carried him up to the clouds by the back of his collar.

"Hey, do we really have to use such a weird pose?"

"You don't expect me to ride me to the sky, do you?" Marshall retorted.

Milo thought about it carefully.

That's right. Proud cats would never allow any human to ride on them; they're the kind of species that won't even let their claws rest on them.

So we can only ask Lord Shadow to make do.

I wonder what the overall sanity level of the citizens of the Golden Kingdom is. If some unlucky insomniac looks up at the moon in the middle of the night and finds a black cat carrying a big living person flying around, then his life is over.

If Rick, the composer, had seen this scene, he would probably have played a piece from E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, provided he had seen the movie.

"Don't you think it's too quiet here? It's like something terrible is about to happen," Marshall said as he hopped closer to the full moon.

Milo nodded: "But we need to see the Eye of Thinking to find out the truth, no matter what, right?"

“It’s almost here,” Marshall said. “This full moon is the dividing line between the temple and the mortal realm. In the Dream Realm, the moon’s inspiration can be interpreted as the path to the Temple of the Golden Law. From places inaccessible by land, you can reach it by simply turning back once on the moonlight. Do you know about the Moonlit Bell Tower?”

“I know about the Star Clock Tower,” Milo shrugged.

“That’s something from the world of lucidity. In the Golden Kingdom, stars are symbols of malice, and the moon is the orthodox medium of faith after the War of the Stars. Legend has it that after the Eye of Thought converted to the Golden Tree, the temple built a clock tower for Him that could absorb moonlight. We’re walking that path now. Daisy took me and that furball to the Temple of the Golden Law along this same path.” Marshall’s knowledge was quite extensive.

Milo said thoughtfully, "She must have seen something back then..."

……

"The girl from the Rus' dynasty was guided by the Eye of Thinking, and so am I."

Finally, Marshall landed on the surface of the full moon with Milo in his mouth.

“I believe there are many more people being guided by the Eye of Thinking toward the Golden Kingdom, but don’t forget that the Eye of Thinking is no longer Daisy, or at least not entirely. Trusting Him comes at a price.”

It's the same familiar rhythm.

On important matters, Marshall always provides Milo with valuable insights. Apart from Emma, ​​who guards the house, this cat is the one who can best understand Milo's thought process.

“I understand what you mean.” Milo nodded.

...

The surface of the full moon.

desolate.

This place is completely different from the moon in Milo's memory.

Not only is there gravity and air, but you can even see magnificent giant buildings on distant mountains.

Everything was in cool colors, making it even more unapproachable than the frost-covered plains.

Milo had barely gained his footing, and hadn't even finished speaking:

"So this is the moon in the dream world..."

A gust of wind blew.

To be precise, it was a powerful burst of cold light radiation from the Earth's crust that carried him and Marshall away from the moon.

That radiation was moonlight.

The moonlight, like flowing water, washed them back and carried them to the western continent of the Dreamland.

Milo didn't even have time to take a proper look at the scenery on the moon before he was transported to the shade of a golden tree and landed right in the attic of a dilapidated clock tower.

It's gloomy and dark here.

It seemed as if not an inch of the moonlight shone into the room.

The smell of decay permeated every corner of the clock tower.

Its internal structure is exactly the same as the Star Clock Tower that Milo is familiar with, but it looks like it has been abandoned for a hundred years and is dilapidated.

As each person and each penny entered the clock tower, heavy, slow footsteps began to echo on the wooden steps leading down to the lower floors.

Accompanied by low, labored breathing.

Something is approaching the attic...

……

at the same time.

In a relatively distant sea, a dilapidated ship is heading towards the land of gold.

...

Just as Marshall said.

They were definitely not the only ones guided by the Eye of Thinking...

The tattered sail had more holes than a homeless man's underwear that had been worn for twenty years, and it was comparable to a fishing net.

Apart from being basically waterproof, almost no part of the hull is intact, and there isn't even a place to shelter from the wind and rain.

The ship drifted from the central island of the Silver Twilight Ocean, "Crown of the Drowned," with 30% of its spare parts scattered along its course. Fortunately, the only two crew members on board survived.

The ship is slowly approaching the coastal forest of the Golden Kingdom.

The crew member controlling the sails was a one-eyed human, draped in a black hunter's cloak, beneath which he carried a heavy, folding, cryptic weapon.

At this moment, he is calmly and serenely gazing at the golden kingdom under the moonlight in the distance.

At the one-eyed hunter's feet, an inconspicuous gray-white fur ball was frantically jumping up and down, making endless thumping noises.

This is the other crew member.

As mentioned earlier, 30% of the ship's hull parts were lost during the voyage due to wind and rain. However, losing only 30% of the parts would not have been enough to cause the ship to be in such a miserable state. The main problem is that another 30% of the ship's structure was eaten away by the furry creature along the way.

...

The one-eyed hunter glanced at the furry ball that was jumping around more and more excitedly, and said:

"Stop jumping, the boat can't hold up any more."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than the fur ball smashed a crack in the bottom of the boat.

Seawater gushed out like a fountain.

"What the hell..."
