Chapter 133: Night God Consciousness
In the face of Leo's inquiry, Panic Stomped was silent for a moment, and explained: "If it is an ordinary Nightmare Realm, with the guidance of this Silvermoon Tower's Turing Dao Mark, we should be able to leave the Nightmare Realm easily and return to Velon. But now this realm of nightmare originates from the dreams of the ancient gods, and if we want to leave here, I'm afraid we ......."
"Can't leave?" asked Leo.
"It's not that you can't leave, it's that you have to find the right exit. After thinking about it in a frightening way, he said: "Whether it is a human being or a god, dreams are generated around self-consciousness, that is to say, in any dream world, there is a self-consciousness, and the exit should be near the self-consciousness. ”
"If this world is produced by the dream of the night god, that is to say, ......" Leo was stunned and said, "The self-consciousness of this world is the night god, and the exit is next to the night god?"
"Not bad. Frightened nodded, said.
Leo thought for a moment and questioned, "No, if the exit is next to the night god, then how did the person who has been in and out of this realm many times before?"
The shaman of the wasteland said with great seriousness, "What if the man's departure was with the permission of the god of the night?"
"The night god's permission?" Leo was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise, "You mean that the night god has his own consciousness and is able to think about all kinds of things?"
"Not bad. Frightened nodded, pointed to everything around him, and said, "Without the core of this world as a guide, how could the otherwise chaotic and disorderly Nightmare Realm become so regular, let alone create civilization in it." ”
"Does he know that he is the self that the night god created in his dreams?" asked Leo, confused.
Shook his head in fright, and said, "I shouldn't know, just like you and I don't know my true identity in my dreams, he shouldn't know either." But ......" he paused, and continued: "But he should be aware of it, otherwise he ......"
At this point, the shaman of the wasteland did not continue, as if he was worried, and fell into deep thought, his brows furrowed, and the expression on his face changed with the thoughts in his mind.
Leo didn't bother, because he was thinking about things as well.
It occurred to him that if what the Wasteland Shaman said was true, then the Eigomi had the ability to think normally in this world, and then the person who had been able to enter and exit Nine Golden Oak Street several times before was not as simple as he thought.
Before, Leo just thought that that person would buy the land where the True Eye was sealed every time he left Nine Golden Oak Street, and he just wanted to gain the power of the True Eye through some kind of sacrificial ritual, so that he could get out of the Nightmare Realm the next time he entered the Nightmare Realm.
But now it seems that he may really be for the power of the True Eye, but not necessarily for the sake of being able to find a way out of the Nightmare Realm, and more likely to be instructed by someone, and this messenger is likely to be the self-consciousness of the night god of this world.
Think about it, if the ability of the True Eye is to see the truth of the world, then the self-consciousness of the night god, with the help of the power of the True Eye, will be able to see the truth of this nightmare world clearly, and even further see its own origins?
It's just that after that person came into contact with the night god many times, his body was infected by the power of the night god, and finally became a clan, and the ability of this clan should be related to dreams and nightfalls, and it is no different from ordinary people during the day, otherwise, he would not be stoned to death by a falling object in the daytime.
However, Leo was not only thinking about the people who had been found to be able to enter and exit Nine Golden Oak Street, but was estimating how many people who were controlled by the night god consciousness of this nightmare world that had not been discovered.
He thought that if the current speculation was correct, then in addition to the person who was already dead, there must be other people who had also been sent out of this dream world by the night god consciousness, and what these people were doing after entering the world of Velonon was worth scrutinizing.
At this time, Leo thought of the bladed repeater he had seen at Valengin, if he remembered correctly, a similar mechanical repeater was invented by Andrei, a mechanical expert in the Kingdom of England, sixty years ago, after the invention of the spring device, and other weapons experts applied this device to the mechanical repeater, and invented a similar blade repeater.
Although this kind of repeater melee combat is powerful, but because the effective range is too short, it was finally eliminated by the user, from the appearance to the demise of less than two years, if it were not for the suspicion at this moment, I am afraid he would not have thought of asking the auxiliary brain system to find relevant information, in the database to find this short weapon report.
In addition to the blade repeater, the same is true of the small airship seen later, the general structure of the small airship is very similar to the eagle airship used by the adventurer Baptiste of the French Empire sixty years ago to make a cross-moon sea, and it can basically be regarded as the same type of airship.
Even if Leo hasn't seen anything else yet, judging from these two items that are very important to this dream civilization, these important tools seem to be more like slightly improved from the original form of similar tools in the Veron world, and have not formed their own unique tool principles and structures.
What's even more interesting is that these basic tools were all created 60 years ago, and the accidental death of the man who was free to enter and exit 9 Golden Oak Street happened to be 63 years ago.
The appearance of various coincidences made Leo vaguely feel that he seemed to have captured a clue, and under the analysis of the auxiliary brain system, another useful information appeared in his mind.
The two Clansmen and the Night's Watch at 9 Golden Oak Street appeared to be enemies on the surface, but they acted in surprisingly unison and cooperated with each other in encouraging the others to leave the house and enter the fog.
At the time, both Leo and the Shaman of the Wasteland noticed this, but didn't think much of it, just a little wary, and now it seems that things are not as simple as they seem.
Judging from the information that Leo has now, it is likely that these two people are from this dream world like the dead dream world family, and they are both instructed by the night god consciousness of this dream world, but their tasks are different.
"We split up. Just as Leo was thinking about the situation of the two Darkworld people, he suddenly made a somewhat abrupt suggestion, "I'll go to the Night's Watch headquarters here, and you go to Silvermoon City and Ten Towns." ”
Leo was a little surprised by Stomppy's sudden suggestion, but he didn't disagree, in fact he would have made the same suggestion even if Stomp hadn't made it. It's just that he can feel that the original intention of making this decision is different from his own.
I just made my decision according to the tactical thinking I had when I was on a mission in the Earth Federation, and after arriving at a strange place, I let my companions disperse and collect as much detailed information as possible in order to make the right tactical arrangements.
Obviously, this decision was made by Panic Trample for other reasons, and Leo could feel that after the Panic Shaman's natural way was integrated into this world, he must have discovered something important, but he couldn't say it for some unknown reason.
"It's fine. Although Leo saw the abnormality of the frightened stepping, he did not ask, but readily agreed: "I also agree with the split action." ”
Leo's refreshment made the frightened stomp a little puzzled, he was stunned, hesitated, and said, "Don't you wonder why I arranged it this way?"
"Why should I be curious?" Leo asked with a smile.
"Uh~" Panicked for a moment.
Leo didn't embarrass the other party, took the initiative to bypass the question, and said, "If we find something important, how do we notify each other?
The shaman of the wasteland pondered for a moment and said, "Set a time for the meeting! Five days, no, or ten days! Ten days, no matter whether we find anything important, no matter where we are, we will approach each other after ten days, guided by the leaves of the Mother Plant." ”
"Yes. Leo nodded, then took out three wizard potions and handed them to the wasteland shaman, saying, "This is a wizard potion I made, which can heal some external injuries. ”
It was not pretentious to step on the frightened feet, took Leo's potion, and then walked quickly towards the deeper part of the forest, the spiritual aura on his body gradually converged, and the whole person and the surrounding forest merged into one, and disappeared in Leo's spiritual network.
Watching the frightened figure disappear into the forest, Leo frowned slightly, took out the animal skin map from his bosom, and then compared his position, and soon found that the direction that Frightened Trample left was facing the castle of the headquarters of the Night's Watch marked on the map.
Leo clearly remembers that when he mentioned that this world has a Night's Watch organization, he didn't mention where the Night's Watch headquarters was located at all, and it shouldn't be a coincidence that Panic Trample was able to find the direction where the Night's Watch headquarters was located so accurately.
If Leo just suspected that Treadfoot had gained some information after integrating into the natural ways of this world, now he could be pretty sure that Treadfoot knew something very important.
As for why the shaman of the wasteland didn't share this intelligence information, in Leo's opinion, it was nothing more than two reasons, one was that some kind of restriction made him unable to speak, and the other was that he was worried that saying it would produce some abnormal reactions. Either way, it would not be a good thing for him and Leo, and in this case, he would suddenly propose to split up, probably to prevent Leo from being involved in unknown dangers.
Leo wasn't too worried about the frightened situation, nor did he think about following up with the danger that might arise. Because judging from the intensity of the spiritual energy displayed by the Panic Stampede, his true strength may far exceed that of Leo, if even the Panic Stampede can't solve the possible dangers, then he may not have any effect if he goes, but will drag the Panic Stampede, so it is best to go to the String Moon Lake, where the Ten Towns are located, according to the advice of the Panic Stampede, which is the best help for the Shaman of the Wasteland.
However, Leo did not immediately go to the String Moon Lake, but found the nearest forest supply point on the map and hurried over.
When he met Valentin, Leo had already noticed that the clothes of the people in this dream world were quite different from his own, because Valentin thought that he was a night watchman and thought that his clothes would be different from normal people, so he did not show any abnormalities.
But when Leo goes to the Ten Towns on the Lake of String Moon Lake, then the clothes on his body that are different from those in this realm will definitely become very eye-catching, so changing his clothes will obviously become the first thing to do.
The supply points marked by Valentin are similar to the hunters' huts in the Velun Forest Hunting Grounds, where the people of Ten Towns will place supplies such as clothing, food, and medicine. Those things are mainly for the hunter team that enters the forest after the Silver Moon Period to clear the Dream Spirits, Nightmare Ghosts, and other monsters.
Because he didn't ask in detail, Leo didn't know what the function of this hunter team was, but it was not difficult to hear from the information revealed by Valengin's words that the hunter team should be a weakened version of the night watch.
They are mainly composed of people from the Ten Towns, and each time after the Silver Moon Period, they will enter the forest to eliminate some dream spirits who have not had time to return to the fog area, and if they encounter a nightmare that they can't deal with, they will report to the Night's Watch or Silvermoon City, and hand it over to the Night's Watch and wizards to solve.
Just like when he searched for the whereabouts of the Shaman in the wasteland, Leo was attacked and blocked by some Dream Spirits on his way to the supply point, but these Dream Spirits were obviously very ordinary and did not pose any danger to him.
On the contrary, Leo absorbed a large amount of black smoke through the dream body to replenish the consumption, and at the same time, he also tried to turn the twins into the sacrificial knife mode to sacrifice these dream spirits.
Just like killing the Dream Spirit that attacked the Frightened Scream, all Dream Spirits killed by the Sacrificial Knife will be sacrificed, but none of them will be sacrificed, and they will all have a piece of high-energy matter that cannot be absorbed.
There were all kinds of them, collected them all the way, and after Leo arrived at the supply point, there were already more than a dozen high-energy substances in his backpack.
The Hunter's Supply Point was an ordinary wooden house, more rudimentary than the Tomb Keeper's Hut, but unlike the Tomb Keeper's Hut, a net of vines hung under the eaves of this hut.
At first, Leo thought that the mesh object was some kind of wizarding curiosity, but when he looked closer, he found that all the mesh objects were just ordinary braids, without any occult motifs such as Turing roots.
The only thing worth noting is the various beast tooth-like high-energy substances that belong to the spirit of the dream realm hanging under the net, and it is the energy emitted by these non-absorbable high-energy substances themselves, after being integrated into these net-like weaves, connecting with each other and gradually forming a spiritual power field.
Leo didn't know exactly what this psychic field was all about, but judging from the fact that there was no trace of the Dream Spirit's activity around the supply point, it seemed that this psychic energy was like a kind of interfering energy field specifically targeting the Dream Spirit, creating a forbidden place for the Dream Spirit.
