After collecting supplies, Qin Zhibo and Kuroba Kaito did not plan to stay in this city any longer.

Passing through the onyx palace belonging to the Masked King in the center of the city, starting from the northern corner of Inganok, they mounted their yaks and embarked on a pilgrimage to the north.

Although the northern continent is relatively deserted, there are still many quarries, farms, villages, etc. scattered around Inganok.

At about 2 o'clock in the afternoon, they arrived at Ugg, the first village north of Inganok.

This is a village built next to a small abandoned mine.

The two tied the yak outside the village tavern and planned to go in to inquire about the next road to Leng Yuan and information about Black Feather Pirates.

I haven't inquired in the city of Inganok before because the city is so big that it is almost impossible to inquire about a person who lived many years ago.

But it is just a few hours away from the city of Inganok, and it is the first resting place that every traveling businessman traveling to the north will not miss.

After entering the tavern, Qin Zhibo still took the lead in inquiring about information.

After all, Kuroba Kaito is too skinny and tender in this world. When he was in Dilas-Lingang, he was even regarded as a woman by drunkards, so he was easily looked down upon by the people here.

After Qin Zhibo made a symbolic purchase of some pomegranate wine brewed in the village, the tavern owner really recalled some things.

"Black Feather Thief..."

"It's a long time ago, I still remember it..."

"Who are you to him?"

Seeing the vigilance and suspicion in the boss's eyes, Qin Zhibo murmured in his heart.

Could it be that Kuroba Toichi did something bad here?

But before Qin Zhibo could further test the tavern owner, Kuroba Kaito behind him could no longer suppress his excitement and answered first.

"I am his son!"

"Son?" The tavern owner looked up and down at the young man across the bar, "Your name is Kaito?"

"Yes! I am Kaito!"

Kuroba Kaito's eyes became even more excited.

The tavern owner said "wait a moment" and turned back to the small room behind the bar.

Looking at the curtain that was opened and lowered, Qin Zhibo was a little surprised. This tavern owner actually knew Kaito's name?

That's probably...

Sure enough, as Qin Zhibo expected, after a while, the tavern owner opened the curtain and came out of the room, with a knife and a letter in his hand.

"This is what Black Feather Pirates left for you..."

Kuroba Kaito reached out and took the sword and the letter, his expression was both shocked and confused.

I was shocked that my father could actually guess that he would arrive here many years later, and he had reserved a letter in advance.

I wonder why my father did this?

Now that we're all here, why not return to the real world?

From Pickman's mouth, they learned that Black Feather Pirates' purpose of pursuing Kadasi in the secret realm was to find the "way" back to the real world.

In theory, this place is not far from the secret realm of Kadasi.

After so many years, my father should have succeeded...

Kuroba Kaito was thinking in his heart when Qin Zhibo next to him asked the tavern owner again.

"May I ask when the person who asked you to preserve these things came here?"

"Hmm..." The tavern owner thought for a moment, "It was about six years ago."

"That man is an interesting magician. He said that a man named 'Kaito' might come here many years later, and then he would give these two things to him..."

6 years?

In other words, Kuroba Toichi started looking for a way to return to the real world almost two years after his "death".

In the past six years, no matter how slow Black Feather Pirates was and how dangerous the journey was, he would have reached Kadasi...

Thinking of this, an unpleasant feeling came to Qin Zhibo's heart.

At this time, Kuroba Kaito also slowly opened the envelope and took out the letter paper from inside.

The moment he saw the letter, his hands trembled slightly.

Because this piece of yellowed letter paper is exactly the handwriting written in Japanese by his father Kuroha Toichi!

…

Kaito, long time no see.

Although I don’t know how long it has been since I left you and Qianying, I believe you will be able to unravel the clues I left and pursue them all the way here.

This world is wonderful, right?

You must have been through a lot, right? Kaito.

I think Mr. Pickman has told you that since I was very young, I have realized that I have the ability to enter this dreamland, and I have honed my magic skills by performing magic performances in this world.

In the eyes of the world, I am a talented magician who can perform on tour independently when I was only a teenager.

But in fact, I just have more than twice the practice time of ordinary people.

Perhaps you may be wondering, since you have known about the existence of this world for a long time, why didn't you know about it earlier?

In fact, not everyone has the qualifications to enter this world, and this has nothing to do with family or lineage.

My brother does not have the qualifications to enter this world.

I'm worried that once you know the existence of this world, you won't be able to enter it, so you will deny your own efforts and talents.

I have created many magic tricks that the world considers "great".

but……

Kaito, you are the greatest magic in my life and the one I am most proud of.

…

After reading this, Kuroba Kaito's vision became a little blurry, and the area around his eyes became sore.

However, he stopped in time before small pearls could form.

Because he remembered the teachings of Kuroba Toichi, to keep a poker face at all times.

What's more, in a public place like a pub, you need to hide your inner thoughts in your heart.

He bit the tender flesh on the inside of his lip, lowered his head, and read the following content expressionlessly.

…

Okay, now it’s time to get down to business.

I think you already know that I am going to the secret realm of Kadasi to find the "way" back to the real world.

But what you don’t know is that I actually had that “road” a long time ago.

The talent of a dreamer allows me to create any material I want in this world.

So, I built a city.

I named this city "The City of Bright Moon".

Yes, it's the city you see in that mural at home.

In order to prevent future accidents for me in the real world, I built a "road" in advance in that city.

But the dream gods took this city from my hands.

I must take back the City of Bright Moon from them before I can return to the real world.

And now, when you read this letter, it means that my plan has failed.

The secret realm of Kadath is an extremely mysterious and unknown realm. Legend has it that the gods of dreams live there and are the rulers of the entire dream realm.

And I don’t know what the outcome will be if I fight against the ruler of the dreamland...

Essentially, this is an extremely dangerous journey.

But I'm willing to take this risk in order to return to the real world.

But Kaito, you are in the real world, not here, so there is absolutely no need for you to take this risk.

The road ahead is not a smooth one, but a dangerous one.

So go back, Kaito.

This makes this the end of the journey.

It is at this moment that you, who already know the whole truth, choose to let everything end.

That’s it for now…

After going back, I told Qianying that I will always love her.
To be continued...
