“…… What are you doing here? ”

Salvatore looked dazed.

He wore an unbuttoned white coat with sleeves that reached his elbows.

He had just come out of the basement of Geraint's house and was walking around Geraint's house, trying to report to Nolan or Eugene about the recent situation. Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked to the side of the Mirror Gallery, he happened to see Annan and Kaphni walking in through the back door.

Looking at the clothes of the two of them, it was quite formal.

Annan had already changed into the tuxedo that he had bought for him and imported from the United Kingdom, and Kaphne had taken off the dark dress she wore every day, replacing it with a white and purple petunia-like tunic and even long white lace gloves.

If they change their clothes, Salvatore might also think that the two of them are going on a date.

But that's too formal, isn't it?

"Are you going to see Your Majesty?"

Salvatore was a little surprised.

Looking like this, it seems like you've really seen it?

But he had heard that Henry VIII was so ill that he was bedridden...... It is precisely because of this that government affairs have basically begun to be taken over by the eldest princess Elizabeth.

"You look surprised."

The corners of Annan's mouth rose: "I am from the Winter family, and Kaphne is a princess." Is there anything strange about us being able to meet His Majesty? ”

"No, it's just ......"

Salvatore frowned slightly and muttered in a low voice: "I'm just wondering, could it be that Henry VIII is actually faking his illness?" ”

Hearing this, Annan and Kaphne glanced at each other.

Annan asked in a low voice, "Why do you say that?" ”

Salvatore scratched his fluffy, somewhat dry and dull brown curls with some distress, and thought seriously: "What I think about is that if His Majesty the King is really seriously ill, then he will not let you Annan, as the heir of another country, approach him at all.

"Not because Your Majesty would be worried that Annan had bad intentions against him—but to prevent anyone from using this excuse to start a war.

"Suppose Your Majesty dies shortly after your departure. So whether he dies of illness or dies...... Anyone who mentions that you have ever seen him will inevitably arouse suspicion and suspicion from others. Because whether you have really done anything to Your Majesty is not something that Her Highness Kaphne can prove.

"If they buy off the guards, or if Philip and Elizabeth simply do it themselves, then you will not be able to clear your name. And this will only become a sharp blade in the hands of the ill-intentioned, which in turn will cause Noah's civil strife......"

In order to perpetuate Noah's position, Henry VIII would certainly have avoided this.

- Unless he knew from the beginning that he wasn't going to die anytime soon. And there must be more than one person who knows about it.

"It may even be that they are faking illness for some purpose...... Like, fishing? ”

"You're so sharp......"

Annan smacked his lips.

Although Salvatore is obviously not as capable as "the other him", it is clear that he is still quite good at this brain.

Although there are problems in the most critical places...... For example, Henry VIII didn't really care about Noah at all. But this is a matter of intelligence for Salvatore.

Ignoring the omissions in this area, he had basically guessed everything he could.

"Okay, okay, if it's inconvenient to talk to me, just say it."

Seeing Annan and Kaphne's tacit glance at each other, Salvatore clapped his hands dissatisfied.

He propped his left hand on his waist, and with his right hand, he took out a bottle of medicine from his pocket and handed it to Annan.

"Give—and do it."

"What kind of medicine is this?"

Annan took the medicine in confusion.

Then a curtain of light immediately appeared in front of his eyes:

【Salvatore Pie - Dream Elixir】

[Type: Consumable/Ritual Material (Gold)]

[Description: A dream elixir made from all the curses contained in the souls of eleven people in the bronze rank, fifty-one people in the silver rank, and one person in the gold rank, and using the brain of the "dream stealer" Danton as the curse material, and refining the technique invented by Benjamin, a total of sixty-three tablets]

[Effect: If you fall asleep after taking at least one tablet, you will enter a special distorted nightmare, which has a special property "Phantom Dream"; Each pill can also be used to avoid death once, and will wake up from a nightmare when the pill has completely dissipated.]

"I improved my teacher's technique...... I call it the Dream Elixir. ”

As Annan looked down at the panel, Salvatore smugly explained: "I was thinking that since I entered this nightmare, I did it, not naturally...... Why can't I do it?

"If you use this potion I invented to dream, you will be kicked out automatically when you die. Although the souls of the transcendents have not been collected, their imprints remain in their curses...... I can use this sigil to deceive the nightmare's mechanics and replace the nightmare's purifier with a 'non-existent puppet' to purify the nightmare. ”

"You're really genius with that."

Annan couldn't help but admire from the bottom of his heart.

This is probably the first nightmare in the world where there are "security facilities", right?

It's not that it can't be done...... But no alchemist ever wanted to do that.

After all, for ordinary transcendents, because they can't easily reduce the erosion, it's not like Annan and the players, who can treat nightmares as a copy and brush them at will.

For them, nightmares are more of a "natural disaster".

Those who will actively seek out nightmares to improve themselves will only be done by a very small number of people who are in dire need of strength.

The only people who really need to purify nightmares, who make it their duty, are the clergy.

How could an alchemist want to help the clergy?

They can't do their own work and tasks, they don't have the energy at all—and with their arrogance, they don't think they need to do it.

After all, the status of alchemists and priests has been completely different since ancient times......

Even Salvatore had in mind a nightmare that would help the clergy purify more safely...... Rather, to help Annan.

"Because you know, Annan. We don't have Denton's soul on our side...... And without the soul as the cornerstone, it is impossible to extract the historical projection from the dream world and become a nightmare. ”

Salvatore said seriously: "So I made a setup here-

"I used the ritual of 'Man in the Mirror' to make this nightmare into a mirror mode. That is, the content of the nightmare is not mandatory, but the soul of the person taking the drug is used as the cornerstone of the nightmare to introduce the nightmare; And use the power of these curses and the elements involved in Denton's skull as an introduction. ”

“…… Other words. ”

After Annan pondered, he slowly spoke: "You mean, if I take this medicine, it will be ...... My own nightmare? ”

"Yes, you yourself are the key to this nightmare. And if you give this medicine to someone else, the nightmare he sees will be different from yours...... But because the separation technology isn't perfect for a while, you may be streaming into other people's nightmares. ”

Salvatore warned in earnest: "So it's a compound nightmare – it's like a gallery." His difficulty will be higher than normal Warp Nightmares.

"And your strength is ...... The nightmare you see must be something you've experienced; But that's where the real difficulty comes in – because of the remnants of consciousness in other people's curses, things are bound to be led in a completely different direction than the real history. You may even occasionally fall into someone else's nightmare and come back quickly.

"At this time, you must abandon the habitual thinking that has been formed in order to get out of the nightmare.

"This nightmare is not like a gallery that will slice away your memory. But while the details may be different every time you enter...... Therefore, I recommend that you take at least three pills at a time, which will give you three chances to do it all over again.

"But don't take more than five tablets, otherwise it will put too much pressure on your heart and may affect your body. It's not like I can't give you conditioning, but you'...... It's always a matter of subtlety. ”

…… Do memories of the past turn into nightmares?

But I don't have the slightest memory of Annan Rindong's past.

In this case, can the dream world still introduce normal nightmares?

And let me do it - and will it be better than the previous "Annan"?

Annan didn't think much about it.

"I see."

Annan nodded, looked into Salvatore's eyes, and replied seriously: "I'll take the medicine tonight." ”

Kaphne shook Annan's hand with some concern: "Or I'll ...... with you too"

"No, forget it. I'll do it myself. ”

Annan immediately rejected Kaphni.

The juvenile version of himself and the juvenile version of Kaphne are not the same concept......

But...... Annan's nightmare?

What could it be?
