Chapter 301: A Servant

Wizard Daniel watched in horror as the whole world slowly collapsed before him—the golden arcane spire, the incomparable temple of magic, the world of freedom, light and hope crumbled before him silently, and a terrifying consciousness was rapidly descending before him.

Coming to "in front of you" was an illusion, and Daniel, who had delved into the secret art of the mind, knew very well what the real truth was - his mind had been invaded, and the intruder had reached an unbelievable level of power. Daniel had constructed illusions and decoys in his mind that could shield snooping and encrypt memories, but the intruder seemed to completely ignore those defenses, and in that brief second, he only felt that his brain was being forced into an incomparably large flood of information, a flood of information that he could not resist.

Under the onslaught of such a huge amount of information, all the thinking barriers and memory buffers are useless.

In what little sanity he had, Daniel remembered the information that had been published in the psychic network not long ago, the information about the "Extraterritorial Wanderer", and the information about the Bishop of the Eternal Sleeper who died at the hands of the Extraterritorial Wanderer, and he realized what the huge amount of information in his mind that could not be processed by the human brain was, and after realizing all this, his first reaction was to immediately cut off the network-

His mind quickly jumped between the psychic web and the real world, and in a lucky moment of less than a millisecond, he saw his magic lab on the border of Typhon, where the clumsy female apprentice was processing samples next to the lab table not far away, and he raised his hand with all his strength, but in the next moment, he found himself back in the crumbling dream world.

The surrounding palace buildings were still slowly crumbling, and the pedestrians in the city dissolved in the air like abstract oil paintings, and the old mage squeezed out the last breath of air in his lungs and let out a final cry: "He's in the network—"

However, his shouting was only a fantasy in his own mind, in fact he just stood there in a daze, and a voice exploded in his head: "Stand there and don't move, I've already caught you!" ”

After this sentence, the surrounding scene was finally completely changed.

The glorious city of dreams vanished, and there was only an endless expanse of water in the field of vision, on which stood one after another, strange metal platforms, a sky without any starless celestial bodies covered this water, and countless huge geometric images were constantly changing and reorganizing on the heavenly dome, forming all kinds of incomprehensible scenes, and the master of this world, a man with short pale blonde hair, stood quietly in front of him.

That is the face of Charles I, the founding king of the Ansu Kingdom, in the "Eternal Dream", many people like to shape themselves into this image, but the old mage knows that this "Charles I" in front of him is a more terrifying existence than any eternal sleeper.

"Extraterritorial loiter......" he muttered to himself.

"To be honest, I don't really like the name you gave me, it sounds awkward," Gawain said as he looked at the old mage in front of him - before this person was dragged in, he was a middle-aged man wearing a starry magic robe, holding a jeweled staff, and a majestic and calm temperament, but in this "cracked world" that only followed the rules set by Gawain, the outsider was forcibly stripped of all disguises, and he was just a shriveled and thin old man in a black mage robe, "Your name is Daniel...... Interesting, Typhon, huh? ”

"How do you know...... old mage's eyes widened in astonishment at first, but then he realized that it was foolish to wonder about the question: how much power does the human mind have to resist in the face of this extraterritorial wanderer?

But in fact, Gawain really didn't know much - he could use his powerful memory blast to destroy the mental defenses of most of the Eternal Sleeper cultists, or use the trap loophole he set up in the psychic network to isolate and pull an eternal sleeper from the main network into the anomalous data space, but reading memories was a much more advanced and complex operation, and he had this knowledge, but he was still far from being proficient.

He had only read the old mage's superficial memories—and there were already a lot of interesting things in that superficial memories.

The old man, Daniel, was first a mage before becoming a cultist of the Sleepers, and was a member of the Typhon Imperial Capital Mage Guild.

Cultists will absorb new members, this is normal, from poor commoners to empty nobles are their targets, the original Kant Collar Viscountess Lilith was bewitched by the cultists to go astray, and the earlier encounter with the Cultist Bud Wendell is also similar, but as far as Gawain knows, few mages have fallen into cultists - because mages have a special worldview and belief system, they are already users of extraordinary power in the first place, Therefore, it is difficult to be seduced by supernatural powers, and secondly, they have a broad belief in the goddess of magic, Mirmina, who is considered to be the source of all laws, and if a mage really decides to believe something, isn't it better to believe in a goddess of magic than to believe in a group of dreaming madmen?

But after looking at Daniel's shallow memories, Gawain realized that if a dying old mage came to the end of his magic path, he was cornered, and at the same time he himself had a weakness in his will that could be exploited...... Then it doesn't seem impossible that he is indulging in dreams.

When it comes to "making up for the regrets of the real world", the Eternal Sleeper really has too much advantage.

On the other hand, the old mage Daniel finally regained his composure after the initial panic, he had secretly tried to get out of this place or release some spells, but found that he was completely trapped here, and even his spiritual power seemed to be frozen - in this mental realm, mental control means that everything is over, even if there is a power to destroy the world outside, he can't fight against the master of the dream realm, so he decisively chooses to protect himself, and tries to lower his posture: "You...... What do you want from me......"

Mages are a pragmatic group, and that doesn't change under any circumstances, and Daniel wouldn't be able to force anything in such situations, especially since he knew that he was still an "extraterritorial wanderer" in front of him, an unspeakable thing that probably didn't possess human emotions.

Since this "wanderer" has not yet taken his life, it means that he has the value of continuing to live, and he must let himself live.

"What ...... go" Gawain touched his chin and thought about it seriously, "To be honest, I really haven't thought about it...... Pulling you over is really just an experiment, and I don't see any other value in you. Or rather, what do you think you can give me? ”

Just an experiment......

The old mage's heart sank, and the situation began to take a bad turn.

He was treated as an experiment—like the animals he threw to his apprentice Mary to dispose of.

This is the real attitude of the "extraterritorial wanderers" when it comes to looking at humanity?

Gawain didn't leave the old mage there alone to continue making up for it - although it seemed like a lot of fun, Gawain wasn't online once for fun, and after confirming that the Typhon named Daniel was very aware of reality, he waved his hand: "Okay, relax, we can sit down and talk slowly." ”

A small round table and two chairs appeared out of thin air on the calm mirror-like water, Gawain sat down first, and Daniel also sat down cautiously after a brief hesitation, but he still did not dare to relax and pay attention to Gawain's every move.

"How long have you been a Sleeper?"

Daniel was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect this inhuman existence to really start chatting with him, but he quickly replied: "I was ...... more than ten years ago Reach out to them. ”

"Because you're having a problem with real-world magic research?" Gao Wen looked at the old mage in front of him with a smile, "Indulging in dreams is not a solution to the problem. ”

“…… A mortal is a creature limited by his talents," the old mage shook his head bitterly, "My gifts have brought me to an early end on my path to the truth. ”

"Is the Eternal Sleeper a salvation for you?"

“…… Maybe that's how to put it. ”

"Interesting," Gawain tapped lightly on the table, "then I'd like to know if you would betray the Sleeper if another greater salvation were before you?" ”

Daniel looked at Gawain in a daze, looking a little overwhelmed.

"I need a servant," Gawain said with a smile, deliberately making himself look unfathomable - since those eternal sleepers with a lot of inner drama have wove him with a rather energetic personality, he really doesn't mind using this persona easily, "I'm not omniscient, and there are many things I can't do on my own - so, I chose you." ”

In fact, it was chosen randomly.

"Selected...... I? The old mage hesitated, "What do you want me to do?" ”

"Be my eyes and ears, eyes and ears in Typhon, eyes and ears in the Sleepers," Gawain said as he stared into the eyes of the old mage, "of course, you'll be reciprocated in the process—I'm a good fellow trader. ”

Although Daniel did not expect to get more benefits from this contact than "survival", he still subconsciously asked: "You mean...... Remuneration? ”

"That may be the greater salvation for you," Gawain laughed, "it is knowledge, the knowledge that will keep you on the path of searching for the truth." ”

Daniel's breath was choking.

……

Mary stared nervously at the Mentor's movements, a position she had held for a long time.

After that strange sentence, the Mentor froze there as if petrified, her face remained motionless with a frightened expression, and she wanted to step forward and push or scream, but in the end she resisted the urge - the Mentor was most likely affected by magic, and it was not a good idea to make hasty contact at this time.

However, no matter how much she checked the blood-red rune circles around her, she couldn't find any trace of the spell getting out of control.

Do you want to bring in other apprentices? Do you want to call the old butler in? Or is it ...... Do you want to take this opportunity to remove the shackles from your neck?

Countless thoughts—nervous and terrifying—clashed violently in the low-ranking female mage's mind, and she felt her hands and feet tremble, an urge to take any chances, but just before she could make the worst decision, she saw her mentor's eyes blink suddenly.

It made her almost exclaim.

The black-robed old magician finally woke up, his stiff muscles slowly recovering and his cloudy eyes clearing again, and he saw the schoolgirl standing in front of him, who looked nervous and frightened.

The old magician didn't know how long he had been unconscious, but the student apparently didn't run away.

Mary spoke in a trembling tone, "Mentor...... You...... Are you okay? ”

"I made a deal with a horrible being." The old magician said in a hoarse voice.
