In the territory of the Typhon Empire, deep in a hidden underground palace.

The rotunda was lit up with the bright lights of magic crystals, and the archbishops in black or white robes were seated in the order of the ancient stone round table inlaid with countless arcane runes, and the oppressive hall was silent, except for the occasional twitching of the artificial nerve cords on the walls of the surrounding hall.

After what seemed like a century-long silence, the silence was finally broken.

Dots of dark purple light emerged from above the round table, slowly outlining an indescribable shape, and from within the starlit cloud of mist, came the deep voice of the Pope of the Eternal Sleeper: "Everyone, let's begin. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty," a white-robed bishop nodded, standing up, "We've completed our brainwave analysis of Bishop Lemont and reproduced it in the Brain Servant Array, and based on the experience of previous trial runs, this fake brainwave can fool the filtering laws of the God of Light, and it won't be long before we can use it for a second observation." ”

"Very good progress," complimented the words came from the starlight cloud, but there was almost no emotional fluctuation in the words, "Remember the safety rules, even the archbishop, not to spy on the kingdom of God twice in a row in ten days, and if you find anyone whispering, sluggish, sleeping, or praying to a god after spying on the kingdom, you must immediately close their brains and cleanse their memories." ”

The white-robed bishop bowed his head: "Obey your orders. ”

Then a black-robed bishop beside the white-robed bishop stood up: "Your Majesty, the 'Extraterritorial Wanderer' has destroyed the old aristocratic forces in the southern border of Ansu, and he has shown ...... Strength and dominance beyond our expectations. ”

The starlight cloud seemed to pause for a moment, then floated again: "What is He doing now?" ”

"He issued a large number of decrees and began to try to bring the whole of the South under his rule in the same way that he ruled Cecil," said the black-robed bishop, "and he exhibited many qualities similar to those of the 'Great Monarch', and although the decrees and actions were incomprehensible, it seemed that he really wanted to establish a stable and long-term rule and create a mortal kingdom ......"

The Starlight Cloud didn't speak, but the other bishop on the scene couldn't help but ask, "Does He really intend to become a monarch?" ”

"All the words and deeds of the Wanderer are impossible to guess by common sense, but at least according to the information we have, the Wanderer often plays only one role after the arrival of a world," said the black-robed bishop, "and from the actions he has taken since his arrival, we may think that what he has to do in this coming is to be a monarch." ”

"It's also possible to build a mortal kingdom that is strong enough and then destroy it," a slightly shrill female voice came from across the round table, speaking from a black-robed bishop, "He is a god-like being after all, and we haven't seen him build a kingdom and destroy it completely." ”

"Evil gods have a purpose, but nothing but the chaos of the depths," a voice from the starlight cloud interrupted the bishops' discussion and argument, "at least for now, we have not had a direct confrontation with the Wanderers of the Territory, and that's a good thing. ”

The white-robed bishop who spoke first raised his head curiously: "Your Majesty, what do you mean ......?"

"We don't mind doing anything as long as we can continue our world," Starlight Cloud said faintly, "Of course, now we have to continue to observe him—until we are sure that the Extraterritorial Wanderers have at least no clear hostility towards this world, and then we can proceed to the next step." ”

All the bishops bowed their heads: "Yes, Your Majesty, obey your orders. ”

"Then move on to the next topic, Project Zero ......"

……

The momentary dizziness receded like a tidal wave, and Gawain saw the gorgeous and magnificent palace walls of the City of Dreams, and the "citizens" of the Eternal Sleeper who walked comfortably between the wide walkways.

He felt like the last time he had entered the dream world had been a long time ago - though he had actually come in a few days earlier to check on Daniel's progress.

There are many affairs in the real world, and the southern border that has just been beaten down still needs to be built slowly, and Gawain hardly has any extra time to pay attention to matters outside the construction territory, even if he finds time to come in and "get on the net", he is in a hurry.

But fortunately, he was a little more free today, and he had time to enter this dream world for a while.

The scenery in the Dream City is not much the same as in the past, it seems that it will always be so gorgeous and magnificent, and it will always be so peaceful and peaceful, and it is completely unthinkable that there is an astonishing amount of data flowing behind the city, and it is also impossible to imagine that the builders of this city are actually a group of notorious cultists, but for Gawain now, these things are not important for the time being—he will not have much time to pay attention to what these cultists are doing until the situation in the south is stabilized.

At most, take the time to take a look at the City of Dreams and make sure that these Eternal Sleepers aren't making any big news about the South.

Gawain traveled to the center of the city, found the crystal node that connected to the deep data of the network, and then began to search for it at random in the Sleeper network, and just after browsing a small part of the information, he couldn't help but smile on his face.

He saw that the flow of information in the Eternal Sleeper network had become much more orderly than before, and that there was a crude, conceptually similar "search engine" thing running, and when retrieving some recent information on the construction of the psychic network, he saw the name "Nightmare Bishop Daniel" at the end of many of the materials.

That "student" seems to be doing a good job.

With a rather interesting thought in mind, Gawain began to retrieve what he needed in this mental network that was more convenient to use than before, and the first thing he did was to focus on the information on Project Zero - and, of course, he couldn't find anything.

Even if he used special "back-end permissions" to retrieve the deep data in the database, he would not be able to see the information about Project Zero.

It seems that the significance of this project in the Order of the Sleepers is really incredible, and even Daniel, who has been promoted to the Nightmare Bishop, has no way to get this kind of thing for the time being.

Gawain didn't have any regrets about this, his attention to Project Zero was just a matter of routine and personal curiosity, and after finding that there was no progress in this area, he skipped this part and began to search for information related to himself in the psychic network.

After using words such as "Ansu Southern Territory", "Gawain Cecil", and "Extraterritorial Wanderer" as search keywords, Gawain almost immediately appeared in front of his eyes.

"The southern border of Ansu is in flames of war, and the terrifying extraterritorial wanderers and the noble groups of the southern border have broken out into a head-on conflict."

"Gravel Ridge slaughtered 10,000 people in one day, and the coalition army composed of more than forty nobles was instantly defeated."

"An army of extraterritorial loiters destroys the fleet of the Count of Peibo on the River Whitewater......"

"Powerful extraterritorial wanderers continue to hunt down the noble rout."

"The South will have a new monarch ......"

"What is this...... Gao Wen was dumbfounded, "...... Can't these cultists take seriously some serious work like conspiracy to subvert the world? Can't hold back gossip if you have the Internet? ”

Although he knew that many of these messages were just random posts from some Eternal Sleepers, Gawain couldn't help but jump out of the corner of his eyes several times when he saw some familiar sentences, he was also a near-late-stage full-body diffusion level meme enthusiast when he was a keyboard warrior in his previous life - he never thought that he would be a part of the meme as a party!

But after all, it was also a well-informed person who had been hanging in the sky for millions of years, Gawain was just stunned for a moment and quickly came to his senses, and then smiled helplessly and continued to browse other things on the Internet.

He first focused on the activities of the Eternal Sleepers in the South as a whole, and then noticed that the activities of the Cultists in the South seemed to be turning to a low point...... Their upper echelons explicitly demanded that their followers keep a low profile in the South...... Is this because of the fear of conflict with yourself, an "extraterritorial wanderer"?

Gao Wen couldn't laugh or cry at this, but it was a good thing, so he continued to watch.

Later, he saw that the Eternal Sleepers seemed to be concerned about the outbreak of the civil war in Ansu, but found no signs of their involvement in the war for the time being.

Then, he unexpectedly saw some news related to the Children of the Storm:

"The Stormchildren are becoming more and more paranoid about the depths, and they seem intent on abandoning the human world entirely?"

"It seems that a large number of Storm Children have disappeared from the ocean, and they may be involved in a new war with the Kraken......"

"Their actions are drifting off course, and perhaps the Children of the Storm have been bewitched by the storm after all......

There was no credible or decisive announcement about this information, and it seemed to be something that some Eternal Sleeper cultists associated with the Children of the Storm had released in their personal capacity, looking at this information, Gawain couldn't help but be a little curious-

Those stormchildren who have gone crazy and recklessly entered the far seas...... Why did you fight with those deep-sea salted fish spirits again?

Didn't Tyr say that the Krakens have been eating on their stomachs on the seabed for a while, and they don't have time to fight with the "landmen" for the time being? Could it be that those deep-sea salted fish essences have been digested in advance?

With all sorts of confusion, Gawain went through the information, and he wanted to search for more things related to the Children of the Storm or the Kraken, but it seemed that there was only so much information about it.

After browsing through the database of the Eternal Sleeper for a long time, Gawain felt a little tired and ended his contact with the Node Crystal.

The illusion in front of him receded, and the scene of the Node Crystal Square stabilized in his vision again.

A Sleeper cultist walked by, as if trying to connect with the Crystal, and Gawain took a few steps back to give up his place to the Sleeper.

He then left the Node Square and walked along the path by the square towards the garden area.

In the process, he tried to open the "tracking" line that Daniel had set up, and began to search around for a familiar brainwave.

Ten minutes later, on a tree-lined avenue in the garden area, he saw the man he was looking for.

The little girl, Patty, is sitting alone on a swing stand by the flower bed.
