Chapter 496: The Crown of the Kingdom

Look at the area in front of you.

Alka and Yingpao stood on the periphery.

This area can be clearly seen as a piece of land separated from the real world that has sunk into the dream.

The irregular cracks can be clearly seen from the edge of the land, as if they were sharply cut out by some irregular mold, and do not look like they fell off naturally at all.

Facing such an area, Alka watched from the side.

"Were there areas before?" Alka turned around and asked.

After all, a lot of dream buildings have been built around this area, and they are currently strengthening the country's ability to repair reality. Obviously, this area should have been explored long ago, and it shouldn't be known now.

"Your Majesty, there was no such area here before, or rather, there was such an area but it was hidden at that time."

Shadow Robe answered from the side.

"Hidden?" Alka asked, frowning.

This makes some sense.

"That's right. If it weren't for the buildings that have been built around it, this area would not have been revealed at all."

Hearing this, Alka looked around the area.

Observe carefully and feel some clues emanating from this area.

As this place expanded into his kingdom, his control over it became much greater than before.

After carefully feeling and observing for a while, Alka said, "Very interesting. The one hiding this area should be a dream king..."

Hearing this, Shadow Robe whispered beside him, "The King of Dreams... Could that be the one who built the kingdom here before?"

Alka nodded and confirmed this possibility: "Don't think too much, he must be the one hiding. According to his duties at the time, he should have some connection with the Saralan royal family in reality."

However, the king of dreams did not die. But when the demons invaded and reopened the most deadly scar in the world, he was also seriously injured.

According to the serpent king, this king of dreams has sunk into the depths of the world.

It would take at least thousands of years to make a comeback.

Therefore, Alka was unable to meet him, and it was just a pipe dream for him to communicate with him and understand the situation here.

And the most fatal problem is that the culprit who caused him to be seriously injured was not the devil. The devil only played the role of a major helper at most.

On the contrary, what the Saralan royal family did at that time was to take advantage of the dream creatures' insensitivity to time.

Slowly weaving a net that is big enough to be deadly.

At that time, the one who was guarding this area and building the country here was a relatively young Dream King.

If Mirmi is the latest dream king, then this dream king is not much earlier than Mirmi.

So based on the world's problems at that time, he established his kingdom in this area.

According to statistics, after the Golden Age, there were only three new dream kings.

The one we are talking about now, Mirmi, and Alka.

So from this we can know that demons are actually more afraid of the existence of dreams. Basically, when they cause trouble, they first destroy the dream existence that will affect them.

If you think about it carefully, the existence of dreams is really a bit like the world's immune system.

It is a very terrifying existence for invaders.

After thinking for a moment, Alka blinked and looked at the area in front of him.

This area is like a piece of land separated from reality. There are basically no buildings on it, just ordinary grass and some trees, flowers and plants. It has become distorted in the dream.

But as Alka looks deeper into the secrets, he is deep within the land.

Something was seen buried deep inside the land.

Look more closely.

Alka's strength, combined with his dreamland at that time, finally allowed him to see clearly what was hidden inside.

A red glowing object.

A metal key that glowed red.

A red crown-level treasure was hidden in the dream.

It turns out that after all the effort, this is the thing he hid.

But we have to admit that a crown-level treasure deserves such treatment.

Looking at the red light, Alka stopped where he was and couldn't help but think.

For a dream king, the treasures in reality actually have no meaning to them.

So the request to hide this area must have been made by someone in reality.

But the problem is that this is a crown-level treasure. Realistically, no one would just leave it there.

Someone must be in control.

It is understandable that a holy grail-level treasure is left unused for the sake of developing power.

Leaving a scepter-level treasure unused, even for various reasons, can be considered a luxury for all forces.

If he leaves a crown-level treasure unused, even the Four Gods will scold him for having a mental problem.

Even the Church of the Four Gods, even the Four Gods would not do such a thing.

Then this treasure is interesting.

Either it is useless or it is very important.

It is so important that it is best not to be mastered by anyone.

"Can you find a way to get in?" Alka turned and looked at Shadow Robe and asked.

Faced with such a question, Shadow Robe just looked at Alka with his dark shadow-like face without saying anything.

Although he couldn't see his eyes, Alka could probably sense what Shadow Robe wanted to express, and silently turned his head.

After all, he is the King of Dreams and this is his kingdom. If he can't get in, how can Shadow Robe get in?

Yes, the reason why they are outside is because this area that is immersed in the dream is not really immersed in the dream.

This is a peculiar state.

The general state is that this space entity is still in reality, but it is reflected in the dream.

It is in reality, but the area that sinks into the dream can affect reality. They interact with each other.

It is equivalent to cutting out a dream part of something that acts on reality and sinking it into the dream. The two must be combined to get the real thing.

This can only be achieved through the cooperation between reality and dreams.

Alka basically understood this when he opened his eyes and saw through the secrets here.

That's why he felt that this hidden crown-level treasure was extremely important.

This is equivalent to saying that in order to obtain this treasure, one needs a real existence and a dream existence, and the two must work together.

The requirement to be able to enter this aspect of the dream is that you must be the king who established the capital here before.

Comparing with actual strength, it should be at stage nine.

"Let me see where the corresponding reality is."

Alka said this and began to search for the reality that corresponds to this area.

He soon found it.

"We are in the devil's territory?"

That's a bit difficult.

etc.

What did Alka suddenly think of?

Since he did not sink into the dream in real body, the things were still in his real body, but he could copy a copy of the things in the dream through his memory.

A map appeared in his hand.

It was a rough map of the devil's territory.

Alka clicked on a red dot without hesitation.

He hadn't looked at the map of the demon's territory for a long time, because even if he got information about the treasure, it would be meaningless.

There was no way they would go to the devil's territory, especially for Alka and the others, that would be tantamount to seeking death.

So Alka basically gave up any treasure hunting in this area for the time being.

But the red treasure just now was used to deal with a real demon area. You should know that the red dots in the demon area were all precious to Alka.

Every Alka knows about it, and he naturally knows what this place corresponds to.

The last time I looked at it, there was still no information.

[Treasure information: Reality is divided into two, one remains in reality, and the other sinks into the dream.

To obtain the treasure, you need to dig up the area that has sunk into the dream world and move the real area to overlap. 】

really.

The previous "three no" information was completely revealed.

Moreover, Alka directly obtained the most needed information about the treasure, which is how to obtain the treasure.

Alka looked at the popularity and found that it was as high as 12,000.

This shows that this treasure belongs to a very famous category.

It's a pity that this thing can only be seen, Alka's strength is not at the ninth stage. Although his strength in the dream is about to reach the eighth stage, in reality, he has just entered the sixth stage for more than a year.

Whether it is dreams or reality, it cannot meet the requirements of the ninth stage.

After looking at it for a while, Alka dispelled the map and turned around to ride on Huan.

"Report anything you notice in the area to me."

After saying the precautions, he left.

After a brief sleep and regaining his strength, Alka woke up in reality.

He opened the entrance to the small world, walked in and appeared directly in the big library.

The library at this moment was no longer as lifeless as before.

Many ghosts are floating around the entire library.

These ghosts are those that possess wisdom and personality.

There are a large number of scholars in it.

They are now obsessed with this big library.

In addition, you can see some doll girls and Lucelia, who are sitting on a desk in the distance.

Alka went straight to the big book above and looked for the book he wanted to find.

The target was quickly found.

Opening the book, Alka began to search.

Soon he saw the word he wanted to see.

The key to the world.

Holding the book, Alka came to Lucilia and started reading it carefully.

This is a key that was born from the world. Legend has it that obtaining this key can open the treasure house of the world.

This seems to be an opportunity created by the world's good mood and overflowing childlike innocence.

It has everything in it.

The information written on it is like a myth.

Alka looked at the information above. Basically, it said that someone in ancient times got the key, opened the treasure house, obtained some gift from the world, and became a god.

Or become a remarkable being, a hero.

These are all mythological stories like this, and they are also very typical mythological stories.

"The key to the world? Isn't this a myth?" Lucilia said this while looking at the introductory article that Alka had noticed.

"You know?" Alka asked, turning to look at her.

Lucelia nodded.

"Yes, I know. The world key is just like a story from childhood. It is circulated in many places."

No wonder the popularity is 12,000.

Based on Lucelia's understanding of Alka, it goes without saying that Alka would inexplicably go to the Great Library specifically to look for such a piece of information.

"Have you found the relevant information about the world key?" Lucilia couldn't help asking.

Alka nodded: "Yes, this should be a crown-level treasure."

"Hmm... Is it just a key that is a treasure of crown level?"

"According to the myth and the book in front of you, it only has the ability to open the treasure house.

There is no further description other than this, it is actually a crown-level treasure."

Lucelia was also a little surprised.

Alka turned over the map again and clicked on the red dot again.

We will definitely be able to gain more information this time.

[Treasure information: Forged by the world, it can open the world's treasure house. This is the gift of the world.

There are treasures belonging to the world inside.

Legend has it that after the key is opened once, it will disappear and move to a new place, waiting for the next person who can open the treasure.

The world is broken and in pain, the treasure house has long been destroyed, and the key is useless. It seems that everything seems to be like this.

Reality was split into two, one remained in reality, and the other sank into dreams.

To obtain the treasure, you need to dig up the area that has sunk into the dream world and move the real area to overlap it.

The treasure house of the world, that was a small thing made by the core of the world, maybe it is a life-saving straw now. 】(Perfect)

The information of the treasure reaches perfection directly.

But Alka was the first to know the most important information about how to obtain the treasure, so whether it was perfect or not didn't matter much.

The purpose was to let Alka know what the key of that incident represented.

Able to open the door to the world's treasure house.

…the world’s treasure house.

Just by hearing the name, you can tell how exaggerated the things inside are, but the information that follows is like pouring a bucket of cold water on Alka.

This means that today's world keys and world treasures no longer have the mythical functions they did in the golden age.

Because of the brokenness of the world and sleeping in pain, these two things have long since changed and almost lost what they should be.

So could this be the reason why the treasure was hidden and no one had it.

Alka couldn't help but think about it, but he had no objection and no information to support it.

But what concerned him most was the last sentence.

The last straw?

After sorting out his thoughts, Alka stopped thinking about it. There was no point in worrying about it.

Whether it is a dream or reality, it cannot meet the requirements. Thinking too much about it now will only add to the troubles.

…

Time passed quickly. Alka received some information sent by Jason and others. He reviewed the location of the treasures through the information and then fed back the expanded information to Jason and others.

Just like it used to be.

And Alka and his friends finally waited for the arrival of the gem they had ordered.

Now we are in the underground laboratory.

Intense experiments are going on here.

A huge gem, as big as an adult's head, floated in the center.

There are many mechanical structures around it to fix it.

Alka opened his eyes, holding a carving pen in his hand, carving something on the diamond.

What is engraved is not printed on the surface of the gemstone, but on its inside.

Simon controlled the machinery, and there were many Vastva scholars around him monitoring various places.

Alka manipulated the machine so delicately that sweat was already dripping down his forehead, but he could not afford to make even the slightest mistake.

The novel magic of carving and some materials are integrated into the interior of the gem through the carving pen.

Then it is completed and the gem begins to carry the load.

It seems to be almost finished.

“Crack!”

Suddenly there was a sound of shattering.

A crack appeared directly on the gem fixed in the center and spread to the surface.

Looking at the crack, Alka took a deep breath and dropped the engraving pen in his hand heavily.

“Failed.”

When Simon saw this, he also began to adjust the data: "Change the data and analyze the cause, and plan the energy data just now."

Following the order, the scholars, who were still in shock, immediately started to act.

After a careful inspection, Simon finally shook his head helplessly.

This is news that is heavier than failure.

"There's still not enough material to support a complete magic gathering structure. Now it can't even support the most basic structure, let alone the more .

The material was far from the standard we wanted.”

As he spoke, Simon leaned heavily against the wall, wondering what he was thinking about.

This was the hardest gem they could think of that met their requirements.

There must be harder materials, but they are not gems and cannot meet the standards of magic gathering stones.

The atmosphere in the entire laboratory became extremely depressing.

This is not because the experiment encountered setbacks, but because this experiment almost failed and this project may be stagnant forever.

It's not easy to find the right thing.

Now they think the reason for their failure is that their method is wrong and their structural design is wrong.

At least these give us motivation to work hard.

"Everyone, take a break and plan the information at hand."

Alka said.

He walked out of the laboratory silently.
