Under the clear sky, it is the brightest sunshine since spring.

On the banks of the Prague River, April and May should be like this. The green meadows stretch to the end of the riverbank, the forest is full of trees, and a watermill or sawmill can be seen faintly at the bend of the golden river.

The water is crystal clear, and the water passes through the pebbles on both sides of the river, and is carried downstream to the Viero region with the wind from the Yumatsu Mountains. But for the natives, the river is like an endless poem, containing the wisdom of time.

Brando thought so, walking along the riverbank, listening to the sounds of the forest. There were bears in the forest, but they weren't easy to see, and in one of his memories it was his grandfather's favorite place to take him. But in his other memory, this area is the novice area he is most familiar with. The forest is full of small animals of several levels, and the bear is the local boss who drops a piece of leather with a good texture.

The two memories fused and intertwined in his mind.

The third memory is about the Golden Demon Tree.

Looking at this familiar scenery, his mind couldn't help but go back to a few minutes ago:

"Freya, Roman. To make a long story short, you should have noticed that the true power of the Golden Demon Tree to be able to control so many servants and children through the mind lies in the power of the mind. ”

"The power of the heart?"

"Roman, don't interrupt."

"I'm sorry, Freya."

"Yes, the power of the heart. Spying on thoughts, remotely controlling people's hearts, creating mysterious and unpredictable illusions, and imprisoning souls. Brando replied, "In fact, the Golden Tree has already begun to influence our minds when we deal with the Tree Man, because it has been having a long dream that will soon merge with you and me. ”

"Dreams?"

"Well, soon we will be in our respective dreams. You're going to see something incredible there, but before I do that I have some important points to tell you......"

Brando gestured to the middle of the valley, where the Golden Magic Tree was growing more beautiful in their eyes. Its branches seemed to stretch out in all directions, exuding a vigorous vitality - this is the manifestation of the Golden Tree's dream extending into the real world.

In the game, the shepherd's god's blood on the Golden Tree awakens it, but it also causes the Elven Sacred Tree to fall into an eternal dream. These dreams are fragments and words of a dark world that mortals can go crazy even if they spied on it.

Just one of these dreams is quite deadly for the player, and if they get involved, they can die at any time. But to fight against the Golden Demon Tree, you have to enter its dream.

This will be the first stage of the battle against the Golden Demon Tree, Illusion. Originally, this stage of the battle was unanimously considered the most difficult by players in the game, but the guild called 'Meda' used an ingenious method to solve the problem.

This method was a little-known secret in the early days, but Brando came from a time when it was already widely known among players.

And coincidentally, the resources he has with him are just enough to complete this plan.

But that's not enough.

Because when the first stage is over, the second phase of the battle that follows in reality will rely on real strength to decide the victory, which is relatively simple in the game, but on the contrary, it is a bit difficult for the original Brando and his party to complete.

For no other reason, most of the players in the game enter this dungeon with an average level of 25 or above, but the highest level of the three of them at the moment is only level 10, even with the help of the best equipment, it is difficult to end the battle before the fifteen-minute arrival of the blighted beasts.

That's why as soon as Brando mastered the fate card: Holy Sword, the abacus immediately hit the head of the Golden Demon Tree. Because as long as you use the fate card well, it seems that the conditions for killing the Golden Demon Tree are also complete.

"The point?" Freya's voice pulled him back into reality.

Brando was stunned for a moment before nodding: "Because it was the dream of the Golden Demon Tree that entered our dream, you must remember that you are the leader of this dream." So no matter how it constructs this dream, no matter how ferocious the beast it creates, it will not exceed your limits—"

He remembered that in the game, in this scene, the Golden Magic Tree should release some of the strongest monsters that the player had ever encountered in a single person before, and then recreate that scene. But it's not that simple - here the player will get a negative value, and the more he makes mistakes and gets injured, the more the negative value will increase and the monster will become stronger.

Therefore, this battle often ends because the monsters get stronger and the players get weaker and weaker, and eventually enter a vicious circle where the player is unable to resist.

Brando doesn't know how this negative sentiment will manifest itself in reality, but there is only one core. It's about being confident in yourself and trying to make sure you get the best you can to join the battle, so you can win.

He pointed to his forehead and looked at Roman and Freya seriously: "Concentrate your attention and make sure the fighting spirit is high." The nature of man's will—"

"Will attribute?"

"Don't interrupt, Roman!" Brando replied angrily, "I mean willpower, human willpower is not fixed. He will go up and down according to your state, concentrate and make sure that the fighting spirit is high and your willpower will always be at its peak. The stronger your willpower, the more difficult it will be for the Golden Demon Tree to mobilize your negative feelings, and don't be controlled by negative emotions, otherwise the consequences will be very severe. ”

"How strict is zhòng?" The future merchant lady looked at him with big bright eyes.

Brando didn't answer, he was afraid that his words would make them too nervous, and nervousness was also a negative feeling. Because failure means that the soul will be forever confined to the trunk of the Golden Demon Tree, until the Golden Tree is reduced to ashes by flames, but liberation is also death.

The surroundings had gradually become hazy.

But there is one more rule that Brando does not explain, because in this battle there is a rule that when the first person wakes up, he can enter the dream of the next person, and pass on a belief to his companion that the other person can defeat the nightmare more easily.

But each person on the team only had one chance to do this, so the guild at the time generally laid out a chain of awakening; The strongest person is the first to enter the dream realm, then the second strongest, and then the strongest again, so that when the most powerful person in the guild wakes up first, they can help the people below in time, and this order can make the team's attrition in the first stage not too strict.

Now Brando intends to change that order.

"I was the first to go into a dream." "Then Freya, and finally Roman," he said. ”

"How do you get into a dream?" Freya asked.

"Just close your eyes, I'll be the first to close my eyes later, then you, then Roman—" Brando almost bit his tongue, and he immediately reached out to press Roman's eyelids, for he saw that the merchant lady was actually going to close her eyes and try it.

"Ahh Roman was pressed to his forehead by Brando's hand and couldn't help but let out a low cry.

"Curiosity kills the cat, Miss!"

"Yes, I'm sorry."

"The world of magic and the mind is dangerous, so be cautious in everything." Brando sighed, his plan was like this. I am the most confident, and of course I should be the first to enter the dream. And Freya is behind him, because he thinks that the future Valkyrie is probably the most difficult of the three to defeat - because there are too many mental barriers, the greater the danger.

But it wouldn't be too dangerous to have someone like him, assisted by experience. On the contrary, the simple-minded Roman should be able to break away from the control of the Golden Demon Tree more easily, and with Freya's help, success is a matter of course.

The time limit for the first stage is five minutes, which is extended to half an hour in the dream. If they don't break away during this time, they will also be imprisoned forever by the Golden Demon Tree because they are lost.

It seems like a plan with a high probability of success, at least Brando didn't find anything wrong with it. If they succeed, then in addition to the considerable rewards, the activity time in Reedenburg will become quite abundant. None of these people knew better than Brando what was going on in Lydonburg, and what it was going to be, to find Roman's aunt there and evacuate it successfully, and every little time there was a little more hope.

He patted the thorn of light on his waist and took a breath. The dream of the Golden Demon Tree was very real, and when he took a deep breath, his lungs seemed to be filled with the smell of the moist earth by the riverbank, which was the smell of March and April, the green grass and the growing woods.

But what does it mean that the Golden Tree boss dropped him here? Did it think that the strongest monster he had ever encountered was the old brown bear in the forest?

That's a daring, a rare elite at level 16, and now he can easily solve it.

However, in Brando's memory, the Golden Demon Tree was not so kind. On the contrary, these creatures, distorted by the so-called 'blood of the gods', are the purest evil creatures, and their evil is not even justified.

But counting the time, it's almost time to trigger the plot, right? Although it has been in this world for a few days, Brando still subconsciously uses the word triggering the plot, no other, just habit.

At this time, he heard the sound of metal clashing, and Brando's ears moved, and for someone like him who was familiar with swordsmanship (Level 3 military swordsmanship), he could tell from the sound alone that this should be a duel between two people.

It's not intense, though, and it looks like it's just practice.

Brando didn't choose to avoid it, because he knew that it was pointless to avoid it in a dream. Moreover, avoiding danger means cringinge, which is a negative situation, and it may be used by the Golden Demon Tree. He followed the source of the sound, and found that the sound was coming from behind the sawmill waterwheel not far away, and when he got closer, and looked around the tall vertical waterwheel, he saw two unexpected people-

An old man with snowy temples and silver hair, wearing a dark blue uniform and holding a sword in his hand, the whole person standing there naturally gave people a towering temperament, like a mountain. However, what made Brando's heart beat was the look of this old man, and there was a sense of not being angry but threatening, if someone with a ghost in his heart saw it, he would immediately avoid his gaze with a weak heart.

The other is a little boy with a wooden sword, who may not look different from ordinary children, but in Brando's eyes, it means differently.

He recognized it at a glance as Brando, or Brando, to be exact. He was taken aback, looked up, and immediately realized who the old man was. That must have been Brando's grandfather, a veteran of the November War, a recipient of the Order of the Candle Flame. Well, that's a shame, although Eruin is dying, but the Order of the Temple of Fire is not so easy to hold-

However, this time, the dream set by the Golden Demon Tree seemed to be a little different from the game, and Brando's heart tightened. But as soon as he hesitated, he immediately felt that the momentum of Brando's grandfather in front of him became more and more stable, and some of them began to affect his state of mind.

"Negative feelings!" Brando immediately realizes that he has been unknowingly affected, which is not the same as in the game. After all, the system in the game can't manipulate the human mind, but here it's a completely different story.

This makes the battles much tougher than in the game!

Brando couldn't help but take a deep breath and pressed his pocket, fortunately, he still had the biggest support. Although somewhat unexpected, at least the situation is still under control.

Thinking of this, he calmed down.

The old man's gaze also stopped at him, and he looked at it for a long time, and then spoke: "Young man, are you qualified to inherit my grandson's Yiqiē?" ”

This sentence made Brando's body shake slightly.
