Chapter 198 Dream "acting"
Lord Dillon? This should be the powerful man at the dream lord level that Count Thanasis described before, right?
Thinking of the terrifying existence that almost killed him after just one glance from a distance, Lucian's breath suffocated slightly, and he felt as if he was being led into a ditch by Count Thanasis.
"Is he the one we met before?" Lucian tried his best to calm himself down, but the words he spoke seemed a bit stiff because of the nervousness in his heart.
"Tsk, is that bug Dillon worthy?" Count Thanasis sneered, seeming to be very dissatisfied with Lucian's behavior of confusing Lord Dillon with the big guy he met before.
"That's good..." Lucian breathed a sigh of relief, but he was only halfway relieved when Count Thanasis added something later.
"He is only the middle to lower level of Dream Lord. According to the classification of your wizarding world, well... he can be considered a top-level fourth-level wizard."
"Cough cough cough..." Lucian's eyes darkened.
The top level four wizard level?
Then wouldn't it mean that he could still easily crush his own top powerhouse? The only difference may be just how difficult it is for the other party to kill him...the difference between how difficult it is to kill a mosquito and to kill a cockroach.
And looking at the way the other party's men were chasing after them... Lucian was really curious about what Count Thanasis had done to them.
…
"It's really troublesome. I thought I could get rid of them soon..." Count Thanasis muttered helplessly as he looked at the few tails behind him that still hadn't gotten rid of them.
"Now I understand a little bit why you don't like to stay in the dream mezzanine." Lucian's mouth twitched, but he no longer had any hope for this exploration of the 'real place'.
"I think it's better for us to leave temporarily. After all, before these little tails are shaken off, we may not have the chance to enter the kind of node you mentioned..."
"If I could go back, I would have gone back long ago..." Count Thanasis muttered, but his voice was accidentally louder this time, and Lucian could hear him clearly.
"What...what do you mean?" Lucian looked at Count Thanasis, his eyes a little straight.
"It's okay, it's just a small scene." Count Thanasis never forgot to speak harshly. He no longer paid attention to Lucian's next inquiry, but manipulated Wizard Helen to speed up again.
"Go in."
Soon, Count Thanasis found an area that looked like a flat stone sculpture. His eyes lit up, and then he controlled the wizard Helen and hit the stone sculpture without looking back.
Bang--
The collision that Lucian expected did not happen. Instead, there was a feeling of weightlessness like when entering a secret realm.
And when the erratic and nauseating feeling disappeared, the scene in front of him had changed and turned into an ordinary-looking bedroom.
"Two-legged hairy monster, come out quickly!" On the side, Count Thanasis' voice sounded a little anxious, and he kept urging Lucian, who was still a little confused.
Lucian still didn't know what happened, but he still subconsciously followed Count Thanasis' request and quickly got out of Wizard Helen's body.
The next moment, invisible rules came and acted on them.
"Is this the real place?"
Lucian looked at his hands in confusion. He could feel that his body had not changed at this time. But when he looked at the mirror, he found that his appearance in the mirror had changed into a man who looked no more than five years old. A six-year-old strange girl.
The wizard Helen and Count Thanasis on the side are even more miserable. As dream creatures, they are more severely suppressed by the real place. At this time, the power of wizard Helen has been completely blocked, becoming a very suitable match for Lucian. In the dream, Count Thanasis turned into a green plush ball, lying motionless on the ground.
"Two-legged hairy monster, be careful. I feel that the real place we encountered this time may be the most troublesome one. It involves a special dream of a certain existence, and you may be in its dream now, 'Playing' a key role."
Count Thanasis's voice sounded seriously in Lucian's mind, which made Lucian feel a little relieved. Count Thanasis was still conscious and could at least tell him some secrets about the real place.
"Performing?" Lucian looked calm on the surface, but in his heart he couldn't help but ask about Count Thanasis' related information. "Well, for example, if you have become this... little girl now, then your behavior and style should be consistent with the identity of this little girl. At least, you cannot expose your secrets to the eyes of a key person." Thanasis The Count's tone was serious.
"And I estimate that there may be other people playing other roles in this secret realm. You'd better find them and remember them."
"It's really troublesome." Lucian rubbed his temples helplessly, and in the mirror, the little girl in a nightgown did the same thing as him.
Playing a little girl? Lucian felt that this dream might be troubling him.
"Instead of letting you really become her, you can understand that this is a cover-up. You are now this kid named 'Lula' in the eyes of others, and you are now taking over her identity. This time Explore in your dreams.”
Although Count Thanasis explained, his tone, which sounded like he was suppressing a laugh, still made Lucian's mouth twitch slightly.
He was about to say something, but soon, a special message penetrated directly into his mind, and Lucian quickly understood the true rules of playing a dream.
"Rafael..." Lucian silently muttered the name of a boy in his heart. The owner of this name was the core figure in the dream.
There are three rules in this real place:
The first is that you cannot reveal your identity or do anything different from the role you play except when you are asleep at night, especially if you cannot let Rafael, the master of the dream, notice.
The second rule is about fighting at night. When their "identity" is asleep, they can choose to leave the identity they are playing to fight. However, if the sleeping "identity" is killed, then they will also be killed. Destroy together.
The third is that it is forbidden to kill or interfere with the identity of non-"players", or destroy the main structure of the dream. Once killed by mistake, it will be directly erased.
"It seems that Thanasis is right. In this dream, the most important thing is not to let others detect your identity. Otherwise, when you go out at night, you will easily be spotted by other guys who enter the real place. After all, these pretenders are just ordinary people. Even if they are stabbed lightly, they will not be able to resist at all while they are sleeping. "
"In this case, if a third-level wizard discovers his identity by a wizard apprentice, I am afraid he will die directly..."
Lucian quickly understood how this dream rule worked, and he couldn't help but be more vigilant. After silently closing his eyes to calm down, he began to search for some information about his current identity.
Lula, the youngest daughter of the Catur family, has two older brothers. Her mother died young...
"Miss, are you up?" Just as Lucian was silently memorizing all the information about [Lula]'s identity, there was a rhythmic knock on the door, and a somewhat unfamiliar female greeting.
Lucian stood up and was about to walk towards the door, but soon he realized something and quickly lay back on the bed, acting as if he had just woken up.
"I haven't gotten up yet..." Lucian himself felt a little confused, but in order to "play" the role of [Lula] well, he had to answer according to this character's usual settings.
There was a burst of suppressed laughter from Count Thanasis in Lucian's mind. "Boy, you adapt quickly and have great potential!"
At this time, two maids had walked in outside the door. Lucian carefully observed them and began to think about the possibility that they were played by "players".
"Young lady is so cute."
"Yes, this outfit is also very suitable for a young lady..." The maids were busy helping Lucian "change clothes", but from Lucian's perspective, he just stood motionless, silently observing the two maids changing one into another. Someone who doesn’t exist lifts…
"From the current observations, there is nothing unusual in the movements and demeanor of these two maids. There is a high probability that they are not 'players', but ordinary identities in the dream... That's right, after all, these are the 'Rafal' "Dreamland, I'm afraid the roles played by these players are at least some supporting roles with names, rather than miscellaneous fish whose names the owner of the dreamland can't even remember."
Lucian silently analyzed the situation in front of him.
"Miss, don't be in a daze, we have to go downstairs for dinner." After a maid helped Lucian change his clothes, she subconsciously interpreted Lucian's thoughts as the child's distraction. She gently patted Lucian's shoulder and asked him to My whole body couldn't help but feel excited.
"Boy, if that maid just now is another 'player', I'm afraid you are at risk of being exposed now." Count Thanasis's voice sounded in his mind, causing Lucian to break out in cold sweat.
"I understand, thank you sister." Lucian quickly forced out a bright smile. He obeyed and began to go downstairs in accordance with the plot of the dream, but he couldn't help but be more careful in his heart.
After all, it would be fatal if other "players" discovered it.
