Section D, Chapter 192: Broken Hills (Karnal)
The Guardian of the Black Tower looked at the frozen mirror, and the scene of the dream world inside was motionless. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The world of dreams, time and space are extremely chaotic...... I can only control the time stillness of one space-time.
Now, let's see what's going on inside.
She continued her observations, though she didn't know if it really made sense.
In that dream, Karnal was at the foot of the mountain looking at the mountain.
He was located next to the stone monument at the foot of the Broken Hill.
The hill was so desolate that there was no castle in sight.
But it is said to be possible to join the Dream Eater there.
...... Although he didn't think he really should join, Karnal was still nervous and felt that it would be better to check it out.
The surroundings are quiet, with only the occasional birdsong coming from.
Crows can be seen flying around.
With a round shield and broadsword, Karnal still had a drum in his heart.
He didn't know what would await him on the mountain.
He doesn't know if a dream eater will invade his dream world.
Since I'm dreaming...... Then there should be a way to wake up, right?
Karnal was simply at a loss, unable to find the slightest advice that would give him a clear path.
But I know I'm going to go up that mountain now...... No matter how you say it, it also makes him feel a little bit more in his heart.
It always feels so weird...... The gray-haired man's words rang in his ears, making the awakened nervous: I am now in a state of recovery...... It is easily invaded by Dream Eaters.
If you really invade, I really don't know if you can beat it.
Walking up the hill so nervously, the pressure on Karnal was enormous.
He looked at his pale blue translucent crystal bracelet and remembered what it was for: collecting memory droplets.
I don't know what it's used for.
It was empty, and the wind blew from time to time.
In order not to get lost, Karnal decided to follow the main road that led to the top of the mountain. As he walked, he remembered the Aiya girl in the Tower of Remembrance.
It's called Lusha...... It feels quite kind, and I was reminded of a few things.
But it feels quite cold and doesn't seem to be easy to approach.
I don't know where the castle can be...... As he walked, Karnal thought about the question again: there was a chance that an enemy would suddenly attack me, so I couldn't let my guard down.
Do your best to avoid death...... After all, according to what I've heard, engrams aren't easy to obtain. Moreover, the state of recovery is said to have other benefits.
As he walked along the road vigilantly, Karnal suddenly heard something unusual, so he quickly stopped vigilantly and began to look around.
The sound came from the desolate woods at the foot of a nearby hillside.
As soon as there was a large rock to hide from the side of the road, Canale quietly took a look and saw that it was a Forsaken soldier wandering around the woods.
In the afterglow of his eyes, he could see a white phantom running past him. It appeared to be a young girl with an axe in her hand.
The phantom is fleeting. It's the same as on the spiral staircase of the Tower of Remembrance.
Seeing someone nearby really gave me the illusion that I wasn't so lonely...... Karnal was thankful: if only there were summons, it would be even better.
By the way, this is my dream world...... Karnal's heart sank: Except for a special place like the Tower of Remembrance, everyone else I usually meet should be in a state of illusion. Exceptions are not excluded, but they should be the case for the most part.
...... He was surprised to find that he understood quite quickly.
The state of recovery seems to have made his mind extraordinarily calm and sober without being prone to fluctuations or fear.
I don't know if everyone sees different things in their dream world...... Could it be in the eyes of Someen, who helped me defeat the Petrified Guard, that there are no Forsaken here?
In short, after defeating the Fog Gate Guard, something must have happened in the Tower of Remembrance at that time.
That's what made me see Lusa standing in the petrified guard's room. If you don't defeat the Fog Guard, you won't be able to see it, because there is a Fog Gate there.
And the gray-haired man reading a book on the first floor. I didn't see him when I first arrived.
That guy, no matter how you look at it, is suspicious.
Karnal's attention soon shifted to the man who wandered aimlessly, seemingly unaware of what he wanted to do. The guy was wearing a tattered suit and didn't say a word. Extremely groggy.
It is a forgotten person who continues to die in a sinking state that has begun to lose his memory, and finally loses his memory and reason completely...... He looked at the Forsaken and felt heavy: If I wasn't careful, I might end up like this.
Just as he lifted himself from the stone to leave, something suddenly caught his attention next to the Forsaken.
It seems to be a crossbow.
The crossbow is different from the hand crossbow, which is shared by both hands and has a relatively high lethality at medium distance.
"......" Karnal is a little unable to walk now.
The allure of the crossbow has become great now—especially when there is a crossbow quiver next to it.
He quickly looked around, trying to see if there were any other enemies around.
After confirming that it was only the Forsaken, he cautiously began to lower his body and walked lightly down the hillside, approaching the area where the Forsaken was.
The Forsaken happened to be looking around, with his back to Karnal. In this state, you might even be able to sneak attack.
Karnal crept in behind the Forsaken and unleashed the fatal blow with his broadsword.
The heavy tug of the blade told Karnal that the blow was deep and hit the viscera.
The enemy was stabbed into the chest by the blade of the sword, and naturally he quickly fell weakly and fell to the ground. The corpse was dripping with blood, but it didn't dissipate like Karnal did when he died.
A white halo quickly floated out of the corpse, floating in the air.
At the same time, Karnal felt a fluctuation of energy coming from the bracelet. Hurriedly looking, he was surprised to find that the liquid could already be seen flowing and wandering on its own in the light blue crystal bracelet that was originally empty inside.
The bracelet is not hollow. It's as if the crystal has become an ocean, and there is a liquid that does not melt into the ocean flowing freely.
It's amazing...... Karnal shook off the blood from the blade and thrust it back into his waist. He looked at the bracelet in amazement, as if he was looking at some artwork: this thing...... What happens if it is broken?
Will all the collected memory droplets disappear?
Anyway, it's better to protect it...... It always feels like it's going to be broken if you're not careful. Where can I go and get the second one?
By the way, I'm going to have to find a way out of here...... Karnal's intense sense of agitation worries him: "My wife and children don't know what is going on.
