Chapter 320 The Five Stages of Dreams
The starry curtain once again covered the sky where the sun was always hanging.
The bright day immediately fell into a dark night illuminated only by the starlight.
Hotels on the island.
Among the largest cluster of greenhouses.
Jason and the other man had already returned, and Juanlu was busy outside.
Because of the greenhouse, the kitchens here are almost always built outside the house.
"I feel a little uncomfortable after smelling this flower fragrance for a long time." Jason said, rubbing his nose.
At this time, the floral scent in the hall was unusually strong.
It was nothing like the fragrance they had felt when they came in.
The reason for this is that Simon and Mathilda seem to be conducting some kind of purification experiment.
This kind of experiment was not what the two wanted to do, but it was what Juanlu asked them to do just now.
The essence extracted from those flower ingredients.
As he spoke, Jason suddenly raised his hand and caught a small figure flying towards him.
"Be careful, it's not good to overdo it."
As he said this, he placed the little figure in his hand on the table.
The doll girl giggled and finally ran forward quickly.
Looking at this scene, Jason could only shake his head helplessly.
At this time, the puppet girls in various places in the hall scattered around and did their own things.
Some were reading books, and some were studying those strange furniture plants.
Others followed Simon and Mathilda, watching their experiments and helping out.
Of course, there are also naughty ones like the ones just mentioned, who play all kinds of dangerous games.
The puppets' tough bodies make these games not dangerous for them.
"What are you doing?" A heavy but slightly serious voice came.
It was from the mouth of Zero who was wearing a maid outfit.
The puppet girls who were laughing, running around and making trouble stopped instantly, and then had no choice but to start cleaning up the things they had messed up in the room.
Watching this scene.
Julia smiled and looked at San who was sleeping with his head resting on her shoulder.
"Hey, you're back."
Hearing this, Julia looked up and saw Alka and four others walking in from the door.
After a quick look, he saw that the three people were dressed in local clothes. However, they were not injured or had disordered breathing, so he withdrew his gaze.
But my trouser legs and sleeves were a little wet, which was unavoidable.
"Ah, I am so tired," said Alka, and went back to his room.
Several people returned to their rooms, changed their clothes, cleaned the dirt on their bodies, and then returned to the hall.
Xia Daiti found a place, took out his tools, and began to draw a map. No one went to disturb him.
Simon and Mathilda also finished their purification and sat in the hall to rest.
Mathilda held a glass of water in her hand and handed it to Pororo.
Alka looked at Jason and said, "How's it going? Did you find someone to sell gems? Urulius scolded her outside today, and she's not happy now."
Jason felt a little helpless when he heard this, but he still took out a gem and shook it to show that he had already bought it.
Then he said, "The Bloom Festival will begin in a week. When should we take action?"
"I don't know. Let's take a look at the map first. This time it will definitely take some time."
At least that's what Alka thought. After all, if they were to obtain this orange [Scepter] level treasure.
Jason nodded, and then said, "The area around this place is not safe. I saw it today. The island should be the place where the wanted notice is posted."
“We saw quite a few wanted criminals there, not just them, we’ve also seen many wanted posters of wanted criminals here on the Twin Islands.
These guys are hiding around the Land of the Spirits, all over the swamp."
Alka nodded, which he had expected.
And it must be in the endless woods not far away.
When they went out to explore today, they managed to get a clear idea of the surrounding terrain.
About twenty or thirty miles away from the Fragrance Land, there is a large forest composed of swamp trees.
That's the best place to hide.
And there were indeed many guards around, patrolling from time to time.
"But the area of the Land of Spirits should be okay. After all, it is considered the safest place." Simon said.
It is exactly as he said.
The most dangerous of these three areas is definitely the boundary between life and death.
No matter whether they are normal people like Alka or various pagans or criminals, no one will go to that area.
The danger in that area comes purely from the environment of the area and the local undead creatures.
The second is naturally the habitat of giant trees that occupies half of the swamp area.
That area was pure chaos, with local indigenous people, chaotic beliefs, and all kinds of fugitives and pagans, all active in that area.
A purely chaotic area, a no-man's land.
Most of the shipwrecks and rumors of the dangers of the swamp sea are due to that area.
Because if the place you are facing is close to the boundary between life and death, as long as you take a detour when you are about to come into contact with Zehai, the probability of survival is generally very high.
Of course, if you accidentally encounter a ghost ship, then you can only consider yourself unlucky.
But if it's in that area, there's nothing we can do.
Due to the level of chaos in that place, there were endless pirates of all kinds. Not only pirates, but also pagan fugitives had ships.
They don't mind being pirates temporarily.
And that place happened to occupy half of Zehai, so most people would easily go to that area.
If you accidentally connect to that area, you will be in big trouble.
Due to Zehai's special situation, there will be no official forces organizing a team to come and clean up.
Therefore, that place has been in chaos for tens of millions of years, and has almost become a gathering place for criminals from the several landmark islands around it.
A gathering of generations.
After chatting with Jason about some not-so-secret information.
Juanlu prepared dinner.
After everyone finished eating, they began to rest.
Alka was lying on her bed of petals, but she did not immediately fall into her dream.
Instead, he used his dream clone to sink into the dream world of the area where he was currently.
Conduct observations of the local dream world.
Generally speaking, whenever he arrived at an unfamiliar area, he would enter its dream world to observe it, even if his dream bubble would no longer appear here.
The necessary knowledge would help him later if an unexpected situation required the means of fighting.
As soon as he entered this dream world, what caught his eyes were all kinds of bubbles of different sizes, which almost filled his entire field of vision.
This is normal.
The scale of the bubble on the Twin Islands is much more exaggerated than this.
This is what the dream world of the gathering place will look like.
The more people there are, the more exaggerated the scene becomes.
Mist-like creatures and light and shadow creatures are everywhere.
It's strange that I didn't see the largest number of dark shadow creatures. It's impossible for these aggressive dream creatures not to come here.
A large number of mist-like creatures gather here, which makes this area in the real world relatively stable.
Although the islands would move as the swamp sea moved, these fog-like creatures basically moved along with the area where the dream bubble was located.
“Sniff…sniff.”
Alka shrugged his nose.
Why is there a scent of flowers in the dream world?
Flying slightly up, slightly higher than these dream bubbles stacked up together.
As soon as he flew up, Alka saw it.
A giant flower in a dream world.
That huge flower was exactly the same as the flowers on the island outside, but the difference was that the flowers in the dream had already bloomed.
A beautiful girl with pink and white hair was lying in the pistil.
The curvy and graceful figure seems to represent all the beauty in the world, and the fragrance of flowers is fascinating.
Alka immediately covered his nose and disappeared from the spot in an instant.
He cancelled his dream clone.
As he disappeared.
The graceful girl in the pistil opened her eyes.
He glanced at the place where Alka disappeared.
Then he closed his eyes again and fell into a deep sleep.
It was just a small episode and no one paid too much attention to it.
Alka in the real world immediately opened his eyes and gasped for breath.
"Damn it, I saw something I shouldn't have seen. Could that girl and that giant flower be..."
Alka immediately stopped mumbling and completely cleared his mind of thoughts.
I forced myself not to think, and used my own mental blockage to stop me from thinking about the past.
After calming down, he pretended nothing had happened and fell asleep again.
This time, I woke up honestly from my dream bubble.
Appeared in his own dreamland.
This time, as soon as I came in, I received a phantom message.
Get out of your dream bubble.
At this time, the construction of the Dream Palace is still in progress.
As he appeared in the palace.
Shadow robe flew over.
"You looking for me?"
"Yes, I may have found a way to do it."
Hearing this, Alka immediately perked up.
"Tell me about it."
Yingpao nodded and said, "Excuse me, can you let me take a look at your mirror-like mask?"
Alka nodded and opened his right hand, and the mirror appeared in his palm.
Looking at the mask made of mirrors, Yingpao observed around.
Then he nodded as if he had confirmed something: "It should be possible."
Then he asked, "Can you bear the disruption caused by another increase in strength?"
Alka's current strength is still maintained at the level of perfection of the fourth stage. With the addition of the shadow robe, Alka's ritual is very stable.
With his help, Alka was able to use very little energy, slowing down just a little at a time.
Without suffering any harm, slowly reduce your own strength so that your strength remains at the perfect level of the fourth stage and no longer increases.
And what Shadow Robe meant by this was clearly to ask him whether he could withstand the disruption that would come with reaching the fifth stage of strength.
Alka nodded.
His current strength in reality is at the third stage, and he is in the 22nd spiral.
"It should be bearable."
Although he can't guarantee 100%, there is no problem with 95%.
Nothing is 100% guaranteed.
Hearing this, Yingpao nodded.
He then told Alka about his idea.
"After my detection, your mirror space has been firmly bound to the dream world and has become a part of the dream world.
Then why not stuff the entire palace into the mirror space?"
Hearing this, Alka said, "Because my strength does not allow me to expand to such a huge mirror space. And after being bound to the dream world, I can't move."
Hearing this, Shadow Robe shook his head: "No, you underestimate yourself, and you also underestimate the power brought by the kingship."
"Why not be bolder? The privilege brought by the kingship is that as long as it does not threaten the basic operation of the world, it can be achieved by threatening the basic rules of the dream world with strength."
Of course Alka knew this, but the problem was...how to put it, he couldn't put it into words for the time being.
Looking at Alka's expression, I felt the fluctuations emanating from his thoughts.
Yingpao seemed to understand something and nodded.
"It seems that you have not yet realized the extent of your noble status. Nor have you adapted to the change in your current status."
"But the method I just mentioned is indeed feasible. Do you want to take action?"
Alka stood there thinking.
After a while, Huan also came over, stood beside Alka, and rubbed him with his crystal-like antlers.
"Okay, let's start getting ready."
Hearing this, Yingpao nodded, and Huan next to him also nodded.
"Then we'll take our leave first."
After saying this, the two dream creatures said goodbye and left, and began to lead the misty creatures in the dream world to make preparations.
Alka's first task is to break through to the fifth spiral in the dream world, and then expand the scope of the mirror space to meet the requirements of building the royal court.
Quickly fly back to your dream bubble.
Although the dream bubble is huge now, Alka still expanded the crystal pillar.
At this time, in addition to the energies of gold and silver, there was also a light gray energy inside the crystal pillar.
This energy comes from the division brought about by the kingship of Alka.
It grew with the growth of the power of his entire palace and the royal court.
For the time being, Alka has not figured out how to use this energy and has not yet studied it thoroughly.
Fly to the side of the crystal pillar.
The mirror in his hand began to change, becoming a deer head image simulated in Mirmi's form and worn on his head.
The body shape begins to change.
The dream catcher crystal ball emerged from the chest.
Looking at the crystal ball, Alka took it in his hand and squeezed it gently.
The crystal ball shattered immediately and turned into a thick pink mist, forming a halo surrounding him.
This is what it looks like when you have complete control.
Take a deep breath.
The energies of gold and silver mixed with his own pink energy and gathered together, and Alka began to release the suppression of his strength.
Afterwards, the strength in his body began to grow naturally, and under Alka's intentional meditation, his strength increased rapidly.
Break through the barrier.
The energies of gold and silver mixed in the pink mist, strengthening Arca's connection with reality.
This effectively alleviated the gap, consolidated the connection between reality and dreams, and ensured that his strength improvement would not encounter any accidents.
As the power of dreams increased, the fastest change was in Alka's dream bubble, which began to grow again.
The divine blood brought by swallowing the fragments of the gods also began to boil.
As his strength increased, the changes brought about by the divine bloodline also began to manifest themselves.
Has the split stabilized?
Alka was puzzled, but did not have time to think too much and began to take this opportunity to make a final sprint.
It is called the final sprint, but for Alka, it can only be described as a natural outcome.
It’s easy to improve your strength.
Because the experience of improving strength in dreams is obviously different from reality.
There didn't seem to be much manifestation of Alka's improvement. If an unknown person stood nearby, they would think that Alka did nothing.
But Alka has opened his eyes, and he has successfully advanced to the fifth stage of equal strength in the dream.
The gap between the strength in the dream and the reality has widened.
He also roughly understood why he did not break apart despite such a huge rift, but instead became more stable.
His identity as a descendant of God helped him.
The fragment of the divinity he devoured came from a god that was half real and half dream.
This is almost the same as his current state.
Therefore, the blood of the descendant of God helped him to stabilize the rift between the two.
If it were a normal person, even a gap of just one stage would be enough to tear him into two parts: reality and dreams.
But even though Alka was two stages higher, he was still able to maintain it.
As the strength increases to the fifth stage.
The feeling of improving strength inexplicably without any practice has finally eased a lot.
Alka was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.
At this time, his image in the dream also changed as he was wearing a deer head mask.
The mask completely disappeared, and in its place, a similar pattern was reflected on Alka's face, and two similar antlers grew on his head.
The deer legs that originally had reverse arches turned back into human legs, but he still maintained the imitative look.
The increase in strength allowed him to move from the fourth stage of controlling treasures to the level of being able to change treasures.
